I really appreciate your efforts. One of the most frustrating things to encounter as a student doing research is a pay-wall. Regardless if such kind of search was available before or not, many people, like the author of the linked article,

You can probably find a more accurate description somewhere else, but here is a TL;DR version: In order to receive notifications without a push notification service like Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), every app would have to a) poll for upda

I live in China and I use MicroG / NOGAPPS since the early days. But I really don't see why it should be of any interest for the average Chinese user? The is a very healthy Android ecosystem here in China, independent of Google. F

The problem is that it operates on an abstract interface but it is NOT generic. With any Generics implementation that generates code for the specific type under the hood (e.g. at compile-time like C++ Templates or Rust Traits, or just-in-ti

GPGTools (MailGPG etc) and rustc / cargo stable are broken with macOS Sierra. Moreover there seem to be a few memory leaks. Finder eats up more and more RAM until it requires a force-relaunch. Unfortunately the same seems to be true fo

I think it would still be interesting. Win10 + Edge vs macOS + Safari. In the end the user does not care which OS runs in the background, just which platform offers the best experience - in this case the longest battery time.

I use it whenever it is available. The process is seamless and as far as I remember I was redirected to my bank, to enter my data there. I never had to give my bank data to a 3rd party. PS: The proper domain is paydirekt.de

There are a few co-working spaces around Makati in Metro Manila and a few in Cebu. These are probably also the only areas where you will be able to find decent internet connection speeds. Also OT: I'm a student from Germany who studied

You can already use Facebook for free on mobile. I don't think FB has big interest in providing free internet for everyone.

More worrisome is what CAN be done. If they don't abuse it, someone else will eventually. Probably in a less obvious way, to hurt specific users only.

I'd recommend Goji to most users. The one I wrote has better performance, but also less features.

For most web-apps this is definitely true. But an efficient router doesn't hurt either. If the router scales well, the routing part will never become your bottleneck. If the router is also memory efficient, it can reduce the amount of

Revel is a bit too magic. It is hard to benchmark the routing alone.

Please note, that most of these words aren't real German words, but are constructed from other German words. Some of these words make not the slightest sense even to a native speaker.

I don't think this should be the default behavior since you would end up writing a lot of boilerplate _ = myFunc() code. But it would be nice if the vet tool had a (optional) feature to warn you about ignored return values.
