How do I test this is working correctly?

Connect your phone to desktop via adhoc network and run Wireshark. You’ll see the dns lookups and be able to confirm the tcp traffic afterwards.

This SO post seemed to give a lot of details if you need it

Good luck!

In those charts posted, is that stock per year or the 4year grant?

I wonder if that's in their interest or not

the feature is basically replicated on android phones that have the google now launcher page that shows you customised results based on how you search.

I feel this needs more of a description

Its Microsoft! And they wrote a platform in Rust!

And only one of the components at that, the rest of the code is in C#.

that one component seem to be 32.8 percent of the code anyway, this seem like a none trivial part of this project

Who do you think you're trying to hire? Of course there's going to be a large number of people who take it literally.

I hope apple can make this happen

Do patches as binary diffs get us most of the way there?

They can, but you need the right tooling to make sure small changes don't dramatically change your binaries.

I don't think so. Compilers may change the output binary drastically, due to optimisations and other things, despite the source changes being small and localised. I'd argue that such behaviour, while desirable when creating a new binary, is counterproductive when trying to make a "minimal diff" of an existing one to fix something and not make other unnecessary changes at the same time.

There's also this to consider: https://blog.regehr.org/archives/294

Prediction: 5 years from now Go will be viewed with similar scorn to Java

Java is so much better as a language and ecosystem than go. Java is getting better with each release slowly. My next favourite is Rust.

nah. java is actually slowly moving towards being a modern language and a reasonable choice for a wide variety of tasks. go is going to inherit ruby's place
