Android began restricting what APIs you could use in your app with Android 9: https://developer.android.com/guide/app-compatibility/restri... Similarly, what is accessible from the NDK is limited: https:/&#x

As raggi mentioned above, you can use both. The additional feature that FEMU provides us is Vulkan support, which allows you to interact with a GUI. On the team, we use both. For example, I know many folks on the Zircon team prefer vanilla

If you're willing to give it another go, you should try it in FEMU (our fork of QEMU): https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/get-started/set_up_femu

I was really excited for this, I want to buy it and am willing to compromise for 1st generation hardware. But no NFC means it impacts my life substantially, from payments to public transport. I hope they reconsider the lack of NFC for the n

Doesn't Sony use clang? My understanding was LLVM does a better job at optimisation than MSVC.

Working on a hypervisor, I see this. It mostly crops up as things like IPIs being more costly when nested.

Could you explain what you mean? I'd like to understand your point of view.

This is based on a cursory examination of [1], so I may be off-base. But Xen appears to rely on the host for many things that can be, and often are, hardware accelerated in KVM. Searching for CONFIG_XEN_PVHVM, it doesn't appear to cove

KVM can take better advantage of hardware acceleration than Xen. Xen requires a modified guest, which traps back to the host more frequently.

Are you asking about VMOs or VMARs? In general: it gives a process a huge amount of flexibility in terms of how it sets up its own address space, communicates with other processes, and in how it can communicate with the kernel.

I'm guessing the reason for the !! in the macro is to force a boolean conversion. Is there a better explanation?

That's some pretty anecdotal evidence. Just as anecdotally, I have heard to the contrary.

Fair enough. You know you can pay for some of those services and not get served ads. You can also disable ad targeting and history in various apps. This, understandably, disables some features due to a lack of information to operate, but it

Don't you think that was a bit of an overreaction? And will you be doing the same for any Microsoft and Facebook services you use?

I'm curious, do you agree with Steve Jobs when he states, "a lot of the time, people don't know what they want until you show it to them"?

Sure. HCI encompasses, and is heavily motivated by, cognitive psychology.

My personal view (as a computer scientist) is that you shouldn't call yourself a "user experience" designer unless you have a background in cognitive psychology. Otherwise you're simply a designer.

I transition between morning and night, and it's basically getting into a consistent cycle. If you get out of bed at the same time every day for two weeks, you'll alter your cycle. The main idea is: don't go back to bed, get out of bed, tak

I'm going to guess it has more to do with the deal Microsoft made with Verizon to ensure their phones used Bing instead of Google. And with the large amount of Android phones being sold with Bing, this will inevitably eat into the market sh

IMO I think it's because people don't believe there's a good Honeycomb device available, and that the platform might not be quite ready for primetime. Apple tend to come out swinging, they deliver tools to developers months before, have a s

"What’s my point? It’s that we don’t take crap from anyone, internally or externally." --- I wonder if it had anything to do with Arrington and TechCrunch.
