Okay, it was a bit of clickbait. Didn't expect it to be picked up like this.

Mistake from me: apparently GrapheneOS does not recommend Aurora Store (citation needed). Kind of weird though; it means Google still knows a lot about you, which doesn't seem very privacy conscience.

Google blocking Aurora Store was a conclusion made in the bug thread. It was not my conclusion.

And for the nit pickers: Sailfish OS is not Android, but its emulation layer _is_. :shrug: Even though Sailfish is nice, without its Android layer it is practically unusable.

Funny thing: the 'busy server' problem existed for almost a week. I could download 1 app per day max on my Jolla C2. But just now, now that this thread makes top of Hackernews, everything started working just fine!

Android distributions that recommend AuroraStore (such as Graphene OS and Sailfish OS) are now mostly blocked by Google Play Store.

Your keyboard and mouse rhythm and timings are probably so unique that they can be considered PII. Wonder how that works out legally.

Perhaps my bank is special (Triodos), its app works just fine on the Jolla.

Scala (with ZIO) is still the only language I know that lets me write a fairly complex program with a few unit tests, and then run it without any bugs.

Open a new tab for a certain container with Cmd-1 (or Cmd-Shift-1, I forgot) for the first container in your list, with 2 for the second, etc.

It has been a while since I saw their presentation. What I remember is that Aaron has an insanely low delay even in the high percentiles, that is orders of magnitude better. Throughput for a large stream of data is probably similar to plain UDP. Please correct me if I remember wrong.

With Aaron I would think the focus should be on 'efficiënt', not reliable. Within a datacenter they are orders of magnitude faster than plan UDP. You get this crazy efficiency at the cost of reduced flexibility in how you send messages.

Indeed. Thanks, I stand corrected.

You can convert edge coloring problems into vertex coloring problems and vice versa through a simple O(n) procedure.

This goes against every definition of cloud that I know off. Again proving that 'cloud' means whatever you want it to mean.

I wonder how this compares to H3. Why does H3 has pentagons as well, and this doesn't?

TlDR: Concurrency and pre-fetching gives zio-kafka a higher consumer throughput than the default java Kafka client for most workloads.
