Because you won’t determine the type of NAT during hole punching. This requires the client sending two UDP packets to two different IP addresses, then comparing their source addresses on the server.
Normally yes, you can just assume that two clients you are trying to connect both have port restricted cone NAT, and run the hole punching algorithm, and if the connection fails after ten seconds, show message to the users ‘Error 418: your router is a teapot’.
The one use case is running STUN/TURN server for NAT hole punching, that requires two separate servers, or one server with two IP addresses. You will only need that to run masterserver for games that support hole punching, or to run VoIP telephony / teleconference server.
Another use case is reliability, when your server is connected to several network providers, it will keep working if one of them has an outage, and will naturally have a different IP address for each network link. But your VPS does not have several network links, otherwise they would advertize that in bold red letters.
It flies, so I don’t get the joke. I’m an embedded developer BTW.
Some marketing survey shown that insignificant amount of users would use desktop mode, so they bought cheaper USB electronics for their next phone, that’s all. Never mind that Samsung adverises DeX so Galaxy users ar least know there is a desktop mode in their phone.
Yes, Android is a (extremely heavily forked) Linux distribution.
Well ackshually Android kernel nowadays is built from an upstream unmolested Linux kernel sources, straight from Torvalds’ git repository.
And the rest is just the init system, which is not systemd so it’s better by definition even though it’s written in Java, and a display server written in Java, because there was no Wayland when Android development started.
std::vector<bool> fits eight booleans into one byte.
#3 is my script that converts one particular RSS feed to .ical format, and pushes it to a repo, because setting up a website for one silly script was overkill.
I was forced to code in Perl one time, there’s no way it could be good.
Password strength is usually checked inside your browser, not on the server.
Ah don’t worry, if you do fopen(file, "w") on Windows and forget to use "wb" flag, it will automatically replace all your \n with \r\n when you do fwrite, then you will try to debug for half a day your corrupted jpeg file, which totally never happened to me because I’m an experienced C++ developer who can never make such a novice mistake.
It depends on whether you are printing to a terminal or to a file (and yes the terminal is also a file), and even then you can control the flushing behaviour using something like unbuffer
printf is superior and more concise, and snprintf is practically the only C string manipulation function that is not painful to use.
Try to print a 32-bit unsigned int as hexadecimal number of exactly 8 digits, using cout. You can do std::hex and std::setw(8) and std::setfill('0') and don’t forget to use std::dec afterwards, or you can just, you know, printf("%08x") like a sane person.
Just don’t forget to use -Werror=format but that is the default option on many compilers today.
C++23 now includes std::print which is exactly like printf but better, so the whole argument is over.
As long as your byte consists of 8 bits.
Linux desktop on Android have been attempted many times with variable success, and it goes way beyond command line, see UserLAnd
It brings all Linux desktop apps to your phone, and all you need is Bluetooth mouse.
Do you need to edit an audio file? Try looking on Play Store, every audio editor has ads and subscription and offers only cropping and equalizer. But what if you need cross-fade? Open your Linux VM - bam! Audacity! All the audio editing tools you can ever need, and ten times more that you’ll never use!
Do you need to make a meme? Go download some shitty meme maker from Play Store, that will only let you add text to ten preset images. Or get a photo editor that has twenty sepia effects but won’t let you combine two images. But a simple sudo apt-get install gimp command in your Linux VM, and you get a pixel-perfect image editor with transparency support, layer support, and a thousand brushes, and you can even plug a graphics tablet into your Android tablet and have stylus pressure making brush strokes of different width, or just use an Android tablet with stylus support, the pressure works there too.
Do you want some more esoteric thing like sqlite3 database viewer? Well, Linux VM is your only choice.
It becomes even more important if you want to buy a cheap Android tablet and ise it as a kiosk for some business. Run the backend server on your Linux VM, run the frontend in the Android web browser, and you don’t need to buy an expensive POS terminal.
Nope, the whole {variable/regex/replacement} syntax
In Lua all arrays are just dictionaries with integer keys, a[0] will work just fine. It’s just that all built-in functions will expect arrays that start with index 1.
You can actually use / as a path separator on Windows in functions like fopen(), because it supports some ancient version of POSIX standard.
It’s just C++ without templates. So whatever element you want to put into std::list, it must virtually inherit std::list::value_type. And of course there will be a macro-based list monstrosity inside Boost.

As for why it isn’t present on F-Droid, probably because compilation instructions have too many steps.
Useless drama in the article.
Yeah, cheap cable and cheap charger won’t provide 35 watts of power. However that cheap 24-pin Type-C cable costs the same as 5-pin Micro-USB cable did in 2010, and you can use your old Type-A charger with it, so you’ll getting your 5 volts 2 amperes everywhere, and did I mention that the connector is reversible?
