  • It’s actually a collection of four books, which I think these days are sold in sets of two.

    It’s got some fun stuff, like an author who’s convinced of his own infallibility, and fantasy-like vocabulary, except none of the words are really made up, it’s just applications of somewhat obscure latin and greek words. I’d also kind of encourage going into it blind, since there are some bits of it that are more fun to figure out as you go along.

    Bonus for /c/finalfantasyxiv@lemmy.world players: it has Ascians.







  • Yeah, and Android has had some 16 years of “optimize later”. I have some very very limited experience with writing mobile apps and while I found it to be a PITA, there is clearly a lot of thought given to how to not eat all the battery and die in the ecosystem there. I would expect that kind of work to also be done at the JVM level.

    If Windows Mobile had succeeded, C# likely would’ve been lower as well, just because there’d be more incentive to make a battery charge last longer.
