No one really knows a general "right" thing to do. Even someone who's found a right thing can't be much help if they just say what they did right. The best you can do is avoid doing the wrong things while probing around for a right thing. It's a way of thinking called inversion.
Try 100 things while avoiding common pitfalls. One of them will probably pan out.

You can tell a lot about someone by how they treat someone they don't like. Some people get downright cruel with people they don't like, and it's a huge red flag because some day they may find reason to not like you. You're just setting yourself up to become a target once you find yourself on their bad side.
You sometimes see this when someone's hating on a public figure. They insult the person's weight, appearance, and speculate about their sexuality. I am never surprised when these people turn out to be abusers and harassers.

Trust me, if you stay married long enough, there are going to be times that you don’t like yout spouse and vice versa. That’s when you really see what you are both made of. Over time the rebound either gets faster as you learn how to disagree civilly - or worse.
Very interesting, and something that I talk to my partner about at times. My method of managing emotions is to try to cool off before engaging in a new discussion, if not for diplomacy then for my own sake -- it is so tiring to be angry!
I think this is also why words of affirmation and acknowledgement are so important, like taking the five seconds it takes to say you appreciate your partner, and thank you for clearing the table after dinner yesterday.
>> "To protect the device from vulnerabilities in network processor firmware, network interfaces including Wi-Fi and baseband have limited access to application processor memory. When USB or SDIO is used to interface with the network processor, the network processor cannot initiate Direct Memory Access (DMA) transactions to the application processor. When PCIe is used, each network processor is on its own isolated PCIe bus. An IOMMU on each PCIe bus limits the network processor’s DMA access to pages of memory containing its network packets or control structures."
I generally agree with this. And maybe WASM will offer some new options here, such that native code can now target the browser. That will give us different options for targeting all platforms, possibly allowing for a world where cross platform development doesn’t come at the cost of memory and performance.
Replacing my 3 year old Moto G3 with a 3 year old 6S Plus was one of the best calls I've made in years. It's a weird feeling being current on an older phone, and knowing that it's got at least one more OS update coming. I know it's flagship vs. budget, but the way the Android phone began decaying before it even got here was still inexcusable.
I'd never really used an Apple device before, so it was easy to knock them for this thing or that, but I wouldn't go back after actually seeing how their philosophy works.
These are bad reasons. Top of the line Android phones generally have better/faster launching cameras than the top of the line iPhone and don't have bluetooth broken.
Even some mid-range Android phones would probably outperform the iPhone X in these two areas.
Valid reasons to switch to an Apple product (in my opinion) are
- Privacy
- Better App Ecosystem (arguably, for both MacOS and iOS)
So I have a pixel 2 XL and I can attest for the camera taking upto 3s to load on average. This has been progressively getting worse with each OS upgrade (no way I am upgrading to the "AI" OS). My iPhone 3GS actually ran for a good 5 years and though "hot" apps werent fast, the default apps were as zippy as they were the day the phone was bought. Somehow Google doesnt seem to care about this!
I take more photos now that I can just pick the thing up to a powered-on screen--I guess it uses some gyroscope and accelerometer magic--and swipe from the right.
I'm looking forward to it. It's fast now because it's at least 4x more powerful than my old one (going by benchmarks), but I won't turn down 40% more. Especially if that translates to better battery life doing average CPU-light stuff.
I was of course careful to say had, and obviously this rested on the fact that lollipop was so universally shit for the ui.
Also, of you think about a ui getting faster, a fixed 200 percentage increase peer iteration, means the absolute speed increase gets relatively smaller as they approach zero.
