His intro: Today I will explain why I often call async/await the "new billion dollar mistake": a mistake that has probably caused billions in developer productivity and bugs in the past ten years, especially in the context of Rust.

Thanks for taking the time to respond and analyze my comment! - The bigger the slope (in space), the faster (in time) the temperature changes at that point -

I have to confess that I got it wrong, indeed: the right side of the equation is a Laplacian. But, rather than describing an average in temperature, it describes the divergence of the temperature field.

Thanks @photon_lines! In your temperature diagram, you mention that every point will take the average of the neighboring points. However, the equation is not a constraint on the temperature but on the "change of the slope (or gradient) of the temperature". The bigger the slope (in space), the faster (in time) the temperature changes at that point!

It seems the Samsung Knox security services rely on the Android Strongbox spec.

It is not clear that a user would actually want to trade-off hardware based security (where encryption, signature verification happens in "tamperproof" / secure silicon) for some unspecified additional RAM.

In fact, the article does not benchmark RAM/CPU/Battery usage from the service. I would speculate that there is very little benefit in wanting a few MB of extra RAM when smartphones have north of 4GB of RAM and need strong security for payments and handling personal data.

It is an interesting list. However, a better title would be "46 Books that changed America".

There are 34 instances of the word America/American in the article for 46 books and most of the authors on the list would be English speaking or American. As a result, this list provides a very American centric view of literature, history and experiences.

The book has a level emotional depth of that is not matched in the film. The first dialogue between Deckhart and his wife (yes he is married in the book) is really clever and meta. I was extremely disappointed by the film (I first saw it 2 years ago) and it feels very dated and has that 80s men-women cringe-portrayal. I agree, read the book it is awesome!

It would also work for private a repository.
