Dodgy Wallet Analogies: Memory Management in Objective-C and Embedded SystemsWallets were once hard to put in your back pocket, and now we don’t carry them. Let’s explore the evolution of memory management, and how these concepts apply to embedded systems. I use a questionable wallet analogy to illustrate the principles of ownership, automation, and context in resource management.
A sculpture by Frank Gehry created for the 1992 Summer Olympic Games, It stands right beside the swimming pool at the Hotel Arts in Barcelona, where I spent a few days, walking around the city, on the beach, drinking coffee, etc.
The Sintra Arribas Hotel, just beside the “Praia Grande” beach, has a 100m salt-water pool which is mostly completely empty. An easy one hour trip from the center of Lisbon.
There are some nice sunsets in Berlin, particularly when you’re in Tempelhof Feld at the right time. This one was taken just beside Hasenheide.
It’s always a pleasure and privilege to ski on a sunny day, on a mountain, and sometimes above the clouds in the valley.
Try as I might I cannot listen to a recent(ish) Björk album all the way through. I see the reviews giving thumbs up, and it makes me double check my own assumptions.
fossora (note the lowercase ‘f’!) has not changed this opinion.
Looking at the albums I have (not all of them) I enjoyed until Vespertine, in 2001. And then something changed. Volta, Vulnicura and fossora all come from the same place.
