I don't think it's possible to replace the lock screen in a native way. All "custom lockscreens" in existence today are basically hacks -- you will notice flickers when the lock screen activity is initialized, for examp

Author makes a comment that "If we just run /bin/true, we can do 500 of them in a second" -- this is very platform dependent -- i think Linux' process creation is supposed to be 1-2 orders of magnitude faster than W

I don't know if this is practically true for a lot of these countries. In a lot of these countries, a vast majority of the population doesn't have easy education, and are often poor. Countries like India have a much better percen

Why are people so insistent that Facebook's Internet.org is a bad thing? Is no internet really better than limited internet? These people have almost no internet right now. A lot of these countries can now use Google and Wikipedia.

You can cast a chrome tab, so it actually supports streaming. They're just protocols, why do you need to support Miracast for it to work on Windows?

I feel really bad when I read stuff like this and don't understand, especially when it's titled "Simple" (granted I didn't spend more than 5 minutes trying to following the proof)

by plain old, i think infradig was implying that C was plain and old compared to C++, and not about an older standard of C.

The craziest part of Project Fi is that phone calls and network connections do not drop at all while it is switching carriers/WIFI underneath -- there is a lot of low-level networking magic happening here, and the crux of this tech. I

What are the pros of leaving out the type identifier when declaring a generic type? I understand that it's viable to not provide some "Type" identifier to denote a generic type, but I feel like it's better to have it fo

One idea is to use Linux's `perf` to sample stack traces, as the program is running, over a minute or so and see where the code flows.

This post is really old (2008) and probably already resolved. Here is the jist of the optimization that this person provides: memory and string functions in libc have poor performance because you are not using XMM registers and you have no

I'm happy things are moving along, but I would still like to see the documentation be more polished. I still don't know how to write a task queue (ie queue of closures) that executors can concurrently read and run from. I don&#x2

I would actually think otherwise -- with no formal documentation of poor performance, they'll have a much harder time justifying a layoff/firing if they are sued for discrimination or something.

This article is just click bait. Pretty sure this product is just so you can store your code/repo for your project using Google's cloud services. It's part of a whole for their cloud offering.

For a UI framework, show me a pretty demo with some example snippet code next to it and I will read on. Otherwise, I'm not motivated -- this is not the way you want people to read about your UI framework.

I think paravirtualization just means that there are drivers installed on the guest OS that make the interaction with hardware faster (perhaps reduce the number of copies and/or interrupts) by being cooperative. Paravirtualization is

From part 2 of their article: > Currently, more than 60 percent of global internet traffic consists of requests from crawlers or some type of automated Web discovery system. Where is this number from and how accurate can you make it?
