Also the Apple Pippin. And third-party Macintosh clones. And the Twentieth Century Macintosh. And the Apple III.
Especially before Steve Jobs took over Apple again they had what feels like more flops than successes.
Yeah, I’m making a lot myself too, but I sadly don’t have the storage space for large amounts of food. And the homemade goods are often more expensive, unless you can get veggies on the cheap from a farmer
It gets even worse when a number of anime aren’t even licensed for your country so you can only stream them via VPN. Looking at you Crunchyroll
That’s not residential sewage, that’s manure. Animal excrements often aged to concentrate it
I agree with the Runtime being slower. These days Android doesn’t technically use the JVM anymore but the Android Runtime, ART for short, that actually performs ahead of time compilation to native code for the byte code for increased performance. Still, the Java Runtime it implements is very heavy and comes with it’s own overhead, so native Android code written in Java/Kotlin is generally slower than native iOS code written in Objective C/Swift.
The kernel architecture does influence more than just the hardware it can run on though. Microkernels for example are generally more secure but slower than monolithic kernels
Microkernels aren’t better per se than monolithic kernels. Their main advantage is increased security. Only a small portion of the Kernel actually runs in Ring 0, the most privileged level where the code has full access to the computer. Drivers and the like then technically run as separate, less privileged programs that interact with the kernels via messages. This greatly reduces the attack surface on the kernel and prevents crashes or memory access from a faulty driver.
This comes at a cost though. While microkernels are generally more secure, they are also less performant. Each message means overhead and a context switch you don’t have in a monolithic kernel.
The discussion between the two kernel types has been going on for the last thirty years and was famously the source for a long argument between Linus Torvalds, founder of the Linux Kernel and Andrew S Tannenbaum, creator of the Minix kernel.
In the end the XNU kernel isn’t even a full microkernel, but a hybrid kernel, trying to take the best of both world by originally taking the Mach microkernel and then implementing the 4.3BSD monolithic kernel on top of it. There are even project to do the same with Linux, like L4Linux
Overall the choice of kernel doesn’t hold Android back in comparison, Linux is an extremely capable piece of software that runs on anything from small microcontrollers to all of the world’s largest supercomputers. Though Google’s newest OS project, Fuchsia, actually uses a microkernel for increased security. And it doesn’t use Linux because of licensing, but that’s a whole other can of worms
If I could actually get those for 1000$ I would do that. Just spent 260€ for a new 16tb one…

That’s not really what that blog post is talking about. Lua isn’t actually particularly old as far as programming languages go and one of the most commonly used scripting languages in game development, due to it’s easy embeddability. And it’s a perfectly fine language in that regard.
Their problem is that they built their own visual scripting language on top of Lua called BlockBuilder. And that comes with quite a bit of overhead, since the way they’re doing it needs a number of additional heavy operations. And Lua is a full blown programming language that comes with a lot of functionality that they don’t need for that use case, but still need to account for.
So the complaint is, that they used Lua instead of using a simpler and constrained language
That’s a rather rose-colored view of the game. One thing is certainly true about Spore: It’s absolutely unique in its genre and we haven’t really seen the like since.
But it certainly had its flaws when it came out. The main one being that the further into the game you got, the more lackluster it felt. With the space exploration endgame feeling rather empty and basically the same every playthrough, with how you developed your creature having very little impact.
There was also the whole DRM controversy which everyone complained about. The game had to be activated via EAs online servers and you could only activate it five times total. And changing your PCs hardware was seen as a new PC which needed a new activation
Yeah, I’m still stuck on Google Keep, since it’s the only one that’s integrated with the (even worse) Google home
The best way I have found is through MyAnonamouse, it’s a private tracker though, so you will have to go through their application process
And for the love of god don’t go for latest, just stick to the release tags
Might want to rethink the name Redox OS already exists and is a pretty active project to create a modern OS in Rust
Be a bit quieter please, I just woke up
Bruh. She’s literally calling herself a fascist. Can’t get more right wing than that
Great, they put every single thing from the playbook of shitty mobile games in there
