mdellavo··on Why HP Fell
Along with board and ceo problems, the they were fighting a battle on two fronts for computer sales. The kush high end server market was undercut by the rise of linux while they floundered with Intel on IA64. All the other proprietary unixes fell in this time too. Meanwhile Dell was undercutting them for consumer PC sales.

mdellavo··on Android Studio 3.1 Stable
Yeah I agree that has been the case but lowering memory usage has been a target of recent for Android Studio - See https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/index.html#3-1...

It's even using less memory than chrome lately.

mdellavo··on Facebook denies it collects call and SMS data from phones without permission
There is a lot of misinformation in this thread about Android's roll in all this. Clearly - they need better, more fine grained permissions - but they have been working towards that goal for years now.

Does this actually use classes and other features of C++? Scanning a few files on Github I see namespaces being used but not much else.

Very impressive either way - I was just curious how C++ was leveraged.
