Completely locking down a physical device and making it unhackable is downright impossible. If the attacker has physical access to the device and the ability to regulate network access, then it's only a matter of time before the device

That's the core of Buddha's teaching right there. Craving leads to suffering/dissatisfaction and advertisement is all about increasing craving for a product. The more things you crave, the more things you cannot get. And the

IMO being a good engineering manager is quite subjective and varies across companies and even teams. The traits of a good engineer would roughly be the same across companies and would be ranked according to knowledge, work experience and qu

It's like a chicken and egg problem. Stadia isn't getting many users cause it doesn't have many games and studios aren't porting games cause of too few users

Yes, but in my experience AAA titles don't always work that great with WINE. I tried overwatch a few years ago and it was a buggy mess. It's great for older titles though.

Google's office suite is a collection of tools made by Google which run in the browser. It doesn't need to run any third party software which wasn't designed as a plugin. Stadia on the other hand needs to run third party soft

But microsoft has now launched support for DirectX in docker containers. So it is possible to containerize games on Windows now. That should take away a lot of the pain points around user isolation.

Auto-update allows app developers to add new features and fix bugs. And these are much more likely reasons for an update than removing a feature.

Javascript is only one of the aspects. With native apps you also get Hardware-accelerated GPU rendering on UI controls. Thus making the UI appear a lot smoother. While mobile browsers accelerate some parts of a webpage using GPUs, most part

But the overhead of a dynamic language like javascript is always going to be much higher than Swift/Java.

There was a time on desktop when apps were super light. Chat apps took a few MBs of memory at most and used native controls. Desktop apps are now bulky thanks to electron and take up collosal amount of memory and consume a ton of battery. I

I'm curious about how many people actually have laptops with resolutions higher than 1080p and use them without display scaling. People buy a high resolution laptop and turn the scaling on 200%, effectively nullifying the benefits of a

I don't get who is going to be using this library. Most android developers would prefer to use native Java APIs instead of a C++ library ( with a JNI wrapper around it?) since it's easier. Linux phones barely have any market share

Creating an app is quite easy. There are many cross platform solutions available like Flutter, React Native and Xamarin and you should be up and running quickly. I personally prefer Xamarin since I am more comfortable with C# and really lik

While this works for occasional casual gaming, it's way more performant to use Looking Glass and GPU passthrough using KVM. Windows licenses are cheap(if you don't want to use the evaluation) and all games just work.

How does this compare to WSL 2 on windows? Launching WSL based linux distros is a breeze and they are lightweight due to lack of full virtualization overhead. Since these use Hyper-V/VBox I'm guessing they would be heavier.

IRC cloud is paid with a monthly subscription right? Are you using weechat as a relay for the Android client or is it a standalone irc client? Cause to receive notifications a websocket will still have to be always connected.

The biggest problem for me in IRC is lack of good mobile clients. You can't get push notifications and if you want to stay persistently online then you need to keep a perpetual battery-draining socket open. You could setup a relay on
