Well that sure sounds like a fair and reasonable thing for the FBI to do.

Very interesting, but I would hesitate to call it true de-extinction because there’s no way to know what we don’t know. We don’t know what was in the parts of the DNA we don’t have.

What you’re seeing is a display of pure power. A flex of totally unchecked authority.

The next ones to join could be you and your family, and there’s little to nothing that you can do about it. Without due process, who used to say they are not all perfectly legitimate US citizens?

I suggest putting on some weight. We’re going to need it in the work camps.

GOP: Because, to hell with laws! Top down, full Authoritarian control! Let’s gooo!

Those Democrats! Why would they do this!

Bike meme.

No worries guys. My dad assured me that we’re all gonna be billionaires. You just have to wait a little bit longer.

Compiled isn’t a property of a language but it describes the implementation. You can compile Python for example to native code using Cython, but it will need a Python runtime that is not much less work than running the code through the interpreter. There are C interpreters. Further, Java is compiled to native code and is being used in this fashion right now. You can also ship native C, C++, or Go binaries by using the Android Native Development Kit and that’s exactly what most Android games do for performance.

Should Android not have started with Java? Even looking back, it’s hard to say. Java helped Android get started quickly using a language many developers already knew how to use. We might have been discussing something other than Android if that wasn’t the case. I cannot know.

There are CPU and Android version differences, but it’s not that hard a problem to solve. On-device bytecode->native compilation long struck me as a bit of a silly hack. Surely Google can cache build products.

Official act.

And for everyone who helped me out, pardon.

Oh don’t worry, he’s upending health research and funding in general.

But yes, especially for the vulnerable groups of people he hates.

What a shithole.

It’s the same group of people. They’re buddies.

“Are You Alive Project” targeting what these operatives believe to be improper payments and fraud within the agency’s system by calling individual beneficiaries.

They won’t be when you starve seniors to death on the streets, fucking ghouls.

That only matters if there’s someone around to enforce it. And often times, by the time proceedings are finished, the damage has already been done.

Yes! Because, practically speaking, he is one.

It would’ve been far preferable to simply not wake up from that surgery.

PWA rant incoming.

The context of your question reminds me of why I had to leave app development – it’s a race to the technological bottom. It’s a real damn shame that PWAs work so well because it points to distribution and consumer reach to be the real limiting factors in writing a great application rather than infrastructure and code. It shouldn’t have to be this way, but it is because we don’t want to write an app for every platform separately. However, when we do this, we lose something and that is the vision for how the OS developer intended for applications to operate and interact with the rest of the system. It’s a gap-filling technology that makes up for the lack of consistency between platforms that just never sat very well with me. It’s something that shouldn’t need to exist, but it does to fill an important role that could be designed out of an ideal system.

Rant over. Think I will label this as a rant at the beginning of the comment before wasting readers’ time.

We need Android because at some point an app needs to interact with the real system. This could be through a library or some kind of native plugin. Sure, we could accept it’s proprietary all the way down in the system, but that would be a dark world to live in, indeed. We could live without it, but we should care.

Golden parachute primed and ready to bail, sir!

That’s precisely the goal. It’s a great way for Russia to kill Americans without firing a shot. It is one of many ways they’re doing this.

One is none. People get sick. Shit happens. Unsafe practices.
