Dart is core part of Flutter: https://flutter.dev What makes you say it's being killed?

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…

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 e…

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

Committing the faux pas of replying to myself, here's another take: https://www.crikey.com.au/2020/08/31/scott-morrison-v-facebo...

Stratechery has a good analysis of the "News Media Bargaining Code": https://stratechery.com/2020/australias-news-media-bargainin...

My understanding is that they used to be, now they're all Cortex derivatives: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryo#Kryo_5xx_Series

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…

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. Se…

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

There's zedboot too. See: https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/zircon/+/master/docs/gettin...

What terminal emulator is being used in that image?

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,…

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 s…

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.
