Oh cool, thanks. I have friends in Texas and they make it sound like it could never happen.

Snowballs chance unfortunately. I understand getting a Democrat to win in Texas is effectively impossible.

Very cute! The grooming must be a task.

How do we know this post isn't fake? Perhaps it's all part of the ruse.

Is there a problem upvoting on other instances? I've never noticed it not working.

Even more, make it more like a backup feature that's opt out not opt in. Thus, when a server goes away, the user still has their community list to import somewhere else.

This might be the wrong place for this question, but I have heard criticism that real rust programs contain lots of unsafe code. Is this true?

Lemmy resembles the old reddit experience so well that they even emulate the old reddit server performance in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Sounds like they lucked out into an awesome job with no real work required.

I heard that lemmy will upvote anything. This is literally just a can of fucking beans in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

Sorry that's the European version I only upvote the American version of the can.

Why does Android bother with Java? (lemmy.world)
 

More concretely, I'm asking this: why aren't applications compiled fully to native code before distribution rather than bytecode that runs on some virtual machine or runtime environment?

Implementation details aside, fundamentally, an Android application consists of bytecode, static resources, etc. In the Java world, I understand that the main appeal of having the JVM is to allow for enhanced portability and maybe also improved security. I know Android uses ART, but it remains that the applications are composed of processor-independent bytecode that leads to all this complex design to convert it into runnable code in some efficient manner. See: ART optimizing profiles, JIT compilation, JIT/AOT Hybrid Compilation... that's a lot of work to support this complex design.

Android only officially supports arm64 currently, so why the extra complexity? Is this a vestigial remnant of the past? If so, with the move up in minimum supported versions, I should think Android should be transitioning to a binary distribution model at a natural point where compatibility is breaking. What benefit is being realized from all this runtime complexity?
