| // Ext4 leaves metadata allocated for directories when files are deleted. | |
| // That isn't usually a problem, as that allocation is reused when new files are created. | |
| // But if you leave lots of abandonded empty directories around, they can slowly eat up disk space. | |
| // Note on "slowly": "very slowly". On my system (8 cores, nvme drive), it takes aproximately 10s per iteration. | |
| // 100 iteration take 15-20 minutes. | |
| // This program creates 200K small files, and then deletes them, after which it repeats the process in a new directory. | |
| // By default, it loops 100 times using the `output_files` directory. | |
| // If you run `du -h` on a directory that has undergone this process, you'll see that it takes a few megabyets of space. |
| // this is an "abstract class" pattern for Javascript | |

The Motorola Moto G10 is very sluggish on Android 11 (the latest Android available for it) due to its low-end CPU, low RAM (4GB), and what feels like slow flash storage.
The most annoying point is that I can't answer phone calls in a timely manner. It takes about 10 seconds for it to load all the code that can handle the "Answer" button.
I otherwise quite like its battery life, and don't miss the features of a flagship.
But I did manage to make it more usable using the Developer Options:

| import ( | |
| "fmt" | |
| "io/ioutil" | |
| "log" | |
| "net/http" | |
| "os" | |

| # This file is supposed to give you a quick idea about what Bash can do beyond its regular job as a shell or scripting language. | |
| # Bash is more than a scripting language. It's a half-decent programming language. It's snail slow, but half-decent otherwise. | |
| # While it's very archane for such usage, it can be a good substitute for Perl and Python in a pinch. | |
| # These things won't work on cut down shells (e.g. sh, ash, dash), and may explode on ZSH, which has its own, | |
| # somewhat friendlier(!), more modern(!) ways of doing these things. | |
| # Remember kids: always quote your variables in Bash! You're almost certainly expecting them to expand |
