Extend C++ for safety
I stopped reading after this. Why do you think C++ is unsafe in the first place? Someone decided ro extend it, and now you cannot even read an error message without finishing an university course on lambda calculus first.
You simply need to accept the risc.
I’m pretty sure Apple and Google already rewritten all important GNU parts into something with Apache or BSD license, to throw everything GPL licensed out of their embedded systems. The biggest and most important part was obviously GCC, replaced by Clang.
How many GPL-licensed system libraries and tools are in Android right now, except for the kernel? I’m pretty sure the answer is zero.
It’s wild seeing square brackets for something other than array indexing.
Eh, Lemmy Connect does not format it properly.
Just look at those nested parentheses. A true sign of (pedantic) greatness, when a person needs to clarify something in their earlier clarification.

to edit files, they either write a sed

again to copy the contents of the terminal back into the file by clicking the mouse wheel while typing manually the lines they need to change.
You also have CLOCK_MONOTONIC, which could or could not be the number of seconds since last reboot.
To be honest, this mess was directly inherited from POSIX C system calls.
Seeing RISC-V and VHDL mentioned in [email protected] why am I not surprised. I feel like another community would be better suited for RISC-V study, like [email protected]
Because TeamViewer will set up a port forwarding and a NAT traversal for you.
VNC and RDP only work when your host has a public IP, or you know how to set up a proxy.
RISC-V is not proprietary enough.
So if I’m developing a garage door opener using ESP32 RISC-V module, I’m not a RISC-V developer? The dev tools and the cross-compiler only come in x86_64 variant, they simply won’t work on RISC-V laptop. But at least they provide a Linux installer.
The only use case I can think of is to build Debian packages on a target architecture without cross-compilation, because many packages do not support cross-compilation, but it’s more an issue of poor build scripts.
Targeting developers is, I dunno, misses the audience. It would have been a great netbook, or a Raspberry Pi replacement.
If I develop something for Risc-V arch, it is probably some embedded thing with 100 MHz CPU and 2 Mb RAM, and I am cross-compiling it anyway on my more powerful PC.
TIL someone ported the collection of classic Linux screen savers to Android.
I’m in the same boat, I have (or rather had) published a few Android games which I don’t have time to update anymore, and Google had been unpublishing them one by one.
I’ve had problems with KDE on Wayland on Debian 12, it fails when entering sleep mode with multiple monitors. Thankfully, KDE on X is just one package install away, and it works with no bugs.
Because military engineers overengineer these things from the most expensive materials available, and they also perform frequent maintenance on them, which is also expensive.
I’ve switched to X11 last week, because kwin_wayland crashes each time my monitor enters low-power mode.
Wooo yeah! Now waiting for the explanation how half of mobile phones on the planet and every smart TV in existence runs some variant of Linux kernel.
