Systemd didn't create this problem. But it solves the issue of distributions shipping config files as part of packages and then on every package upgrade having to reconcile between the distribution's config and your modifications. Now with the drop in system you don't need to do that.

I am not an expert but I think in general systemd has a lot of complexity but it's to handle existing issues in a better way. Some of the older init systems might be simpler to describe or get started but lead to more confusing situations in the long run.


There are no Chrome builds for Linux on ARM, for instance. (There might be Chromium builds but that won't have the proprietary Google stuff like account sync.)


I tend to agree, but then I wonder what we would call language server protocol additions to editors like Emacs/Vim. Or even Visual Studio Code, for that matter.


Good question. I'm using VSCode as an IDE for React now but I understand very well why some people use Webstorm.

https://github.com/Malabarba/paradox lets you install packages async, by the way.


That looks like an interactive ui--I can't declare use-package forms in my init.el, and have the initial install and any updates be async and concurrent.


I dunno, in my experience going from 1080p to 4K is a huge benefit for photos as well. While I wouldn't necessarily notice the extra details when looking at a photo from a distance, when I see the 4K next to the 1080p displaying the same photo it is noticeably more "realistic" somehow. Considering that even phone cameras take 12MP+ pictures, that extra detail has to count for something. For me pretty much everything looks noticeably better on a 4K display. Granted I'm slightly under 30 but I do wear glasses, so I dunno how much eyesight affects things.


Same thing here. Also, thumbnails and avatars become a lot more useful, because with higher DPI you can make out a lot more.


Jazelle predates Android.


Yeah, it would be pretty interesting to be able to use this as an Android development environment. It should be significantly faster than current approaches with emulation.


Supports AS. The thinking is this is why Google did it. You can now run GNU/Linux applications


I think we're already well past that point to be honest. One of the things people laud about the Google Pixel cameras is their HDR mode, and that's really not just capturing the real world as it is.


T-Mobile and Sprint are independent networks. Other smaller carriers, known as MVNOs (eg. MetroPCS, Cricket, Google Fi, etc), do rent the networks of the major 4 carriers, but T-Mobile and Sprint do not, which is part of why their coverage is a little worse in less populated areas. I'm not sure if T-Mobile can roam on AT&T towers (since they're both GSM, but are probably using different bands for 3G). I do know that when I'm in Yosemite with T-Mobile I don't get any reception, but I've heard that Verizon and possibly AT&T do.


My T-Mobile phone roams to AT&T towers, but with no data connection. Fancier plans may not have this limitation.

Side note for those who don't know the term, MVNO stands for Mobile Virtual Netwok Operator.


T-Mobile does have roaming agreements with regional carriers such as Union Wireless, so in spots where they don't have coverage, there is occasionally roaming coverage as well, but they have basically every major metropolitan area covered.
