In the case we were debugging, this issue manifested in the following fashion: We had two libraries libA and libB and libA dynamically depends on libB. When you dlopen libA, it also

Nokia’s legendary font makes for a great user interface font

If you’re of a certain age (and not American), there’s a specific corporate font you’re most likely aware of. You may not know its exact name, and you may not actively remember it, but once you see it, you know exactly what you’re looking at. The font’s called Nokia Sans (and Nokia Serif), and it was used by pretty much every single Nokia device between roughly 2002 and 2013 or so, when it was replaced by a very bland font made by Bruno Maag (with help from the person who designed Comic Sans) th

The protocol is still under development, but it should be complete enough to build interesting user experiences using it.
