This is BS journalism from TechCrunch; nothing “launched”, it’s a canary channel pre-release. Here’s the actual announcement. Not once do they use the word “launch” — in fact they explicitly say this is an initial release, a preview, and that you should not even switch to it as your main Android Studio yet:
“you may want to download and run an additional copy of Android Studio in parallel with your current version.”
TL;DR: it’s an early pre-release, not a launch. Don’t report things as launches unless someone fired a rocket into space or something.

I let this blog fester for too long. I even took it down almost completely in fact, even though I left up some individual article posts. So it was time for a bit of a refresh.
There’s a lot of terribly boring bad old content but I’ll leave it up — why not I suppose.
Let’s see if I can even be bothered to write anything else ever!

E609: Cscope error: cscope: invlib.c:566: invopen: Assertion `invcntl-aram.sizeblk == sizeof(t_logicalblk)’ failed.
Long story short: don’t try to use cscope files on a 32 bit machine if
they were generated on a 64 bit machine.

There’s been a lot of news recently about Facebook and privacy. My
advice is simple: don’t assume anything you post on Facebook is ever
actually private between you and your friends. If you assume that
everything could one day be made public you’ll never have cause to be surprised.
Additional advice regarding tracking cookies: Delete any stored
facebook.com cookies and only use your browser “incognito” or “private
browsing” mode to access facebook. Logging out is apparently not
sufficient to prevent tracking information being sent to facebook when
you visit third party sites. See:

Or, if this is still unpalatable to you, simply delete your account and
stop using facebook and/or consider blocking it completely by adding a
127.0.0.1 address for facebook.com to your hosts file.
