You mean a VM like the one that contains a 0day that can escape the sandbox that gets found every year at pwn2own?

There are frameworks that navigate like this. Laravel is the first that comes to mind. I think Django and Spring do this as well.

> Over the years I've found that any interaction with social media that involves me loading the feed inevitably ends up with me doomscrolling or spending way too much time scrolling stuff that doesn't add anything to my life.

Almost as if it was designed that way...

I actually started trying to port it to Android after your first post. Only managed to get a compass prototype working though... might revisit the project soon!

I was thinking about SSX tricky and 3. How the music loops and/or fades in for example big air time or landing a trick.

There were certain layers of the playing track that would fade away when in air such as vocals. I always thought that this was done really great in these games.

Ahoy did a great video[0] about this as well. Really nice production value and also takes on the question of 'what is considered a video game'.

Google has advanced protection [1] which also extends into Android [2]. Setup is easy and fast.

In no way is this 'revolutionary' by Apple.

"every PHP programmer is bad at programming, the language is designed to accommodate them with convenient footguns (or faceguns) at every step, and the ecosystem is accordingly bad. No, PHP7 doesn’t fix this. Use a real programming language, jerk."

This guy seems like a real open minded person who did his research and shared his opinion after making strong points. /s

This makes sense to me. The distractions are easily turned of i think, but the competition the platforms generate are much worse.
