No, the SMS is initiated by the device upon calling emergency, not requested by the emergency service. The standard is called AML. The format is not secret either, it's just binary…

They are huge because android has hundreds of smallish makefiles but the generated ninja file is a single flat file. The advantage in android is that the different build systems wi…

This is hilarious to me: Android, which uses it for some large component of the system that I've never quite understood Ninja is really a huge part of AOSP, the build system initia…

JVM does garbage collection, this can stop all threads at safepoints while GC occurs. Those stops can be enough to ruin your low latency requirements in the high percentiles. A com…

You can generate binder wrappers from aidl, that would work. This is fairly common when doing platform work (for those like me who work on the operating system rather than on apps)…

I also want to know this, but in reverse. I build older android (the OS) versions inside docker containers because they have dependencies on older glibc versions. This is a memory-…

Well, it's understandable. If you talk about it with other linux-on-MacBook tinkerers I'm sure they'll be more sensible to your cause. But generally, if you pointed that out to me …

Definitely, I remember from reading the documentation that they could also target HTML5/css ( https://docs.flutter.dev/development/tools/web-renderer ) instead of canvas but I'm no…

I used a similar approach before working mostly remote, now I just curl to pushbullet to get the notification wherever I might be working.

This resonates. I usually wrap my long running commands in something that sends a push notification when they finish so that I don't jump around seeing if things completed or faile…

It's certainly possible, I honestly wouldn't know. Anedoctaly, I find it worse on my mental health to just sit around waiting for things to finish.

Yeah, I mentioned it because I see peers doing different things to be productive during compilation times while newcomers will stare at compiler output. Some will jump to writing d…

Not quite, treble is more about separating hardware specifics in a versioned, backwards compatible way. It's more for replacing the previous HAL system which in itself already abst…

But that's just the kernel. This is more akin to compiling the kernel plus all packages and applications that make up the operating system.

I'm very conflicted with flutter. The developer story is tempting, cross platform consistency but extendable to each system's specifics. On the flip side there's the odd programmin…

I'm not familiar with fuschia but those times are what I'd consider normal for an initial compilation of an operating system in regular consumer workstations. I work on the android…

Oh, for sure. It's definitely not either/or. I've worked in fraud prevention software in the past and our clients would definitely see both. I've been away from that world for a wh…

Not exactly. Some people are in the business of gathering and selling valid credit cards. They won't cash out on them or buy items. Instead, they'll collect cards from a source (sk…

Heh, I do android platform development for a living. Most devices are obviously ARM but you can't compile android on arm processors.

A small correction, Android does not use OpenJDK. It uses the ART runtime ( https://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik ) which will definitly need porting. Slightly longer answ…

This would support multiple vhosts.

Not really no, most of it is Android's + Qualcomm's modifications (which are usually public and easily available). However, there are some HTC hardware-specific parts that are used…
