Some numbers are missing...[due to] out of memory error.
The S7+ seems to have 6 or 8GB RAM, but the iPhone 7 only has 2, yet it seems the iPhone ran the test and the S7+ didn't. I wonder if the iOS implementation is that much better, or Android isn't set up with any swap, or...?
Android has swap, in my case 4GiB. It might also be compressed but parameters are probably incompressible anyway.
Given the runtime on ios, it seems unlikely swapping would be involved. Might be a failed hardware check of some sort, or the OS refusing to alot more ram to the authors specific specific app. Similar to running in the background, there seems to be a lot of chaos about ram allocation permissions on android.
Right now, I am working on an App and the Samsung Ultra S21 that I am using (even having 16GB of ram available..) does not allow me to use more than 500MB for this App even with android:largeHeap="true" in the Manifest.
I'm having a hard time reading this pdf on my phone.
Is it dated recently? Because wow those are really old devices and it would surprise me if they weren't using anything modern.
Hey! I'm using one of those devices!
This feels like an xkcd comic. Was this inspired by a specific one?
I think it's just the font, but XKCD would have recreated the table and added a subtle, obscure reference to acknowledge in the alt text.
And the entries would've gotten ludicrous towards the bottom
He would definitely include one of his XKCD phones.
Yeah I tried to replicate the XKCD comic feel by using the XKCD font. I came across that particular paper in one of my class, and someone pointed out that the choice of devices is rather weird, which is where the inspiration came from.
