Most people I know just click "yes" on all popups until the website starts working. In between every other website asking for notification/location permissions and a huge pile of GDPR popups (which are actively hostile toward

Backups protect against a wider class of problems. For example, a software vulnerability/bug or a human error could result in the deletion of an object in all replicas (because deletions are replicated too), but you'd usually need

Being in the market for an enthusiast CPU is predicated on being enthusiastic about CPUs in the first place, and that's become somewhat difficult in the last couple of years.

@vhanda (unable to reply directly for some reason) First of all, congratulations on shipping a decent, polished Android app! These increasingly seem to be a rarity these days. Regarding the subscription model, the monthly price quickly adds

I've recently started using GitJournal [1] to access my notes on Android, but I haven't used it enough to be able to say whether it's worthwhile. One annoying drawback is that it requires a monthly subscription to get access

Parent comment might come off as offensive, but it very accurately represents my experience with several Google apps that I've been using recently (YouTube, Google Play Music/YouTube Music, Google Photos, Google Maps, ...). But I&

I'd be surprised to learn that there's any sensible optimization that the compiler/runtime can make to ensure optimal data locality. The problem is difficult enough that the entire Unity engine is being pretty much rewritten

On the other hand, I'd wager that the set of words that you can recognize is vastly larger than the set of words that you're likely to come up with on the spot. Hence, using a generator would still result in higher entropy then tr

A while ago I deleted my Uber/UberEats account (they didn't make it easy btw) because of how utterly unusable their apps were compared to competition. After me and my girlfriend spent 30 minutes trying to order food on 3 different

All of these are often of little concern to artists, who prefer to get in the flow of actually getting stuff done. Organizing your project is fun and all, but there's A TON value in eliminating context switches and shortening your iter

Whether or not it's comparable depends on the level of distinction you're trying to make. Obviously, CPUs don't think or experience the world (but on the other hand that kind of "feature" seems increasingly likely t

Additionally, the article fails to address any of the points (seemingly calmly!) made by the employees accused of racism. This is a disgusting way to hold a conversation of this much importance. As an outsider, to me America seems laser-foc

The term ctor refers to good old type constructors. It's a common abbreviation, and it's even the keyword for defining constructors in .Net IL.

That's sad to hear. I've had a lot of fun playing around with Azure's table/blob storage services. Never deployed a large production app with them, but the performance seemed decent (eg. when using table storage as a jso

Keep in mind that C# has support for non-primitive value types (structs) which means you can avoid garbage collection entirely if you're careful (not all that difficult in my experience). Additionally, Unity has just introduced a speci

Don't be ridiculous - the first day at a new job can be incredibly stressful and disorienting. And even if somehow this doesn't apply to you, keep in mind that it does to a lot of people.
