This is a common misconception. In key benchmarks, it is the same speed (a few still lag, but not due to inherent weaknesses in the language). Earlier versions of rust were slower because the compiler didn't have the insane optimizations that many C++ compilers have.

In fact, it may be easier for developers to write code that runs faster with rust than C++, thanks to much error and exception handling code that you simply do not need in Rust.

Most importantly, however, is finding Rust developers who are experienced enough to write high-performance Rust. I would imagine that it's a lot easier to find C++ devs.

I view wifi on these devices as an anti-feature. Too often, they rely on MVP web services with limited security, and require a full TCP/IP stack, alongside CA-based PKI (meaning, an inherently limited lifespan).

Not against a limited lifespan, but I really do like the model of a bridge device that communicates over wire or bluetooth, especially for consumer IOT - bt-based standards prevent vendor lock-in, for example.

It's not, it's really not. They really do want to verify you're a person.

Facebook got busted using that (security) info for marketing purposes, and the reaction was muted; but, within the security community, it was loud and angry. Within a week, they had ceased completely.

It's SOOO cheap, and you get so much free product (every shop is desperately trying to build loyalty through superior service and bribes).

If I smoked weed, it'd be heaven.

Aside from pricing (different workloads yield different results), I'd say that:

GCP has much more modern APIs (they got to do "right" the first time around, while AWS had to learn from their "mistakes")

GCP is less mature with documentation, but still excellent (AWS is first class). I've found bugs, and others I know have run into straight up wrong docs - a quick message to support yielded the correct information and docs update within the week.

GCP is far more "opinionated" about how you should run a service. AWS is opinionated as well, but less so. What this means is that while GCP will sell you resources in traditional way, to go GCP native or from scratch really requires buying into the GCP "way" of doing things more than AWS does. Basically, K8S or go home.

We use GCP and I enjoy it quite a bit. I have extensive AWS experience as well, but no strong preference.

I googled it. Maybe the results were misleading.

So, you're saying that the phone you bought you didn't use as a phone? Hmmm....

Also, this isn't a fake account. I don't think anything I've posted was intended to troll.

Those are door buster sales.

Anyways, I looked it up - they were also carrier locked to walmart mobile, a mvno in which the price of the phone is subsidized.

All of them are a full inch larger in screen and most even larger in bezel.

Fits neater in a pocket. Great for basic communication and tasks such as maps. Not the center of your life.

$250/32 is barely competitive. however, you cannot buy an android phone this small that isn't complete garbage

The upcoming sony xz4 compact may be the only small phone with premium components, and it's extremely frustrating. It's not even /that/ small.

You can find small phones but they have terrible cameras, sub HD resolutions, and bargain basement SOCs.

Is the demand for a premium (or even mid range) small phone really that low?

Old games put the P in PRNG. Often, the technical limitations caused them to very roughly approximate randomness, for example a function that used the last n button presses plus the countdown timer as a seed. If your game has to run in under a kilobyte of memory, that n value might be a byte, or less (such as four bits, 2^4)

Some games were worse, far worse. Doom used a list of 256 random numbers that it looped through.

Pokemon is another game where the RNG function is extensively mapped, and even used in combination with bugs to generate Mew events, something that should never ever happen.

You see a lot of TAS of old games, especially popular ones, that abuse the RNG generator where feasible.
