2) What is modern then?


It's based on Pentium 4 core which was extremely overclock-able, plus it's a single core, which makes it easier to get to that stable enough for a screenshot state.


If you don't actually touch the faucet and let the water run for a few seconds before drinking it, what's the danger? Anything that the dog would've put on it would be washed away, no?


So here's the thing. They will release Apple Music for Android... and there's full stdlib of Swift support for Linux? Could it be that the Android app is partly Swift?


I wouldn't read too much into that.

Android ships with Bionic libc, which is different from the glibc that is usually shipped in a Linux distro. There are definitely some differences between the two.

Plus the average Android app is very far from the average Linux app. If they were aiming at supporting Android, I think they would have said that instead of Linux.


The key word here is "partly" Swift. I would not put it past Apple to use an intermediary framework that hosts a Swift runtime and calls into native Android APIs. That keeps the non-UI logic in one codebase.


That's more or less what they do with iTunes, isn't it? I recall there being an incomplete library packaged with iTunes once upon a time (with stuff like a stub implementation of Grand Central Dispatch that was neither grand nor dispatching).


iTunes (used to, at least) have a lot of Mac OS 9/Carbon stuff partially ported to Windows, in fact.

Thanks for the chuckle, almost r/programminghumor worthy ;-)


Possibly talking about different things when you say "stdlib"?


Let's include gun ownership stats in this, some state or a city maybe.


agreed - comparing the UK's relatively unarmed populace is not a good comparison.

The problem is that the U.S. is very heterogeneous when it comes to crime and gun laws: Hawaii (strict gun laws, and safe) Illinois (strict gun laws, unsafe) Vermont (loose gun laws, safe) Louisiana (loose gun laws, unsafe)


It does not look like the source code is available?


This is an assignment for a university course.


It has a supporting code with headers and build helpers


I believe the root of the problem, lead-free soldering joints, was common to all portables of that time


Nvidia and AMD GPUs probably generate more heat than Intel chips and so have likely been more badly affected. Has there been some breakthrough in the alloy used for solder that makes this less of an issue now? Also interesting that I've never heard of this issue with desktop GPUs, which get insanely hot. My guess is the solder pads are bigger and more widely spaced?


I'm not aware of any major breakthroughs in the past few years, but lead-free solder alloys are an active research area right now. Here's a SANDIA report from 2012 that has some context and some cool micrographs; you can find lots more by searching the web for tin whisker growth in lead-free solders.

smart and gets shit done


Well yes, but Mountain View isn't exactly good at anything like that.


I don't understand the purpose of the app, the one on play store looks like a one button subscription frontend. How is it better then their website, email, twitter?


They can release a press release to complain about Apple policies and get hits/donations?
