  11. Flutter, Google, Fuchsia, Zircon, Linux, Starnix, Magma, Microfuchsia, будущее Андроида и других ОС

    С момента появления загадочного репозитория на GitHub с описанием «Pink + Purple = Fuchsia» прошло десять лет. За это время медиа-пространство успело пережить несколько циклов хайпа: от «Убийцы Android» до «Мертвого проекта Google». На календаре январь 2026 года. В магазинах нет коробок с надписью «Fuchsia Phone». Однако, если у вас дома стоит Nest Hub второго поколения, вы уже пользуетесь этой ОС. Если вы разработчик под Android, вы, возможно, уже взаимодействуете с её компонентами через виртуализацию. Fuchsia не умерла. Она совершила то, что в биологии называется метаморфозом. В этой статье мы отбросим маркетинговую шелуху и разберем архитектуру системы "под микроскопом". Поговорим о том, как Google решает фундаментальные проблемы ядра Linux, что такое Starnix на уровне системных вызовов, зачем нужен FIDL и почему 2024–2025 годы стали переломными для проекта, переведя его из стадии R&D в стадию инфраструктурного фундамента.

  18. doesn't just keep time; it can record temperature too. The image is of a ~4mm zoned zircon crystal from the Bancroft-area of Ontario (Grenville-age granulite metamorphics). The trenches are 40 and 60 microns wide, created by laser-ablation analyses.

    ~3.5 parts per million titanium corresponds to crystallization temperatures of ~ 675°C (plus or minus a lot, unfortunately, in this case).

  19. is one of a few calcium-free titanium silicates (incl. benitoite). Seems like an obscure fact but:

    includes titanium in its structure, as a function of temperature; this can be a .

    To standardize a microbeam analysis (like laser ablation ICPMS), we need a mineral with a known composition, lots of titanium and silica and no calcium, which has an isotope at mass 48. Neptunite and benitoite are perfect for this.
