I agree there is a degree of luck in some people, but I'll be wary about the term genius . Personally, when someone says Genius , in some contexts, I take it like an excuse to justify the existence of people that excel doing somethin

Exactly. What I see is that the SoC provider just freezes everything at a given version and supports just that. For example I am currently building Android 9 on a QCOM SoC with a 4.9 Kernel. I don't think it will receive any future u

These are interesting tips. Personally I believe that 7 hours of good sleep supersedes all other tricks.

I'm sorry you see things in terms of competition and curmudgeons . But I see your point, it's just another type of FUD: don't stay behind and adopt Rust because you'll be a curmudgeon.

This is a common way of thinking about it, but nobody really knows. It's purely a conjecture. There is no data to back it up, and it just appeals to common sense. Should everybody drop C/C++/whatever and rush into the Rust tr

Then you need external RAM, storage, a video card or companion chip for a display, a chip for holding the BIOS and a power supply (if not many) for all that. x86 as is, is not good enough for my wrist watch. You can use a small ARM with int

With years you get to put together a swiss-army toolset of libraries to deal with all that (like arrays, strings, etc.). You know how they work, how far you can push them, the overhead, and all. Do I really know how much cycles/stack i

The answer is size, power consumption and most of all, price. I know I can do a wrist watch with a Raspberry Pi, but will it be profitable/convenient?

My personal opinion, is basically for 3 reasons: 1) There is no need to. C already has all we need to build our systems. The rest is seen as overhead/over-complication. Regarding Rust, I try to keep up to date about its progress. Unfor
