Like others have said, the numbers aren't comparable between manufacturers. Here's a neat video where they use an electron microscope to actually compare the transistor sizes for Intel 14nm and AMD 7nm: https://www.yout

This mirrors my experience. I had an S3, and my experiences with that and having to deal with the S4 for work turned me off of Samsung entirely. Later on I ended up upgrading from my HTC One M8 to a refurbished S8 (it was one of the only ph

To be fair, it's only "almost no latency" if you just care about the pixels at the top of the screen. Since CRTs (and LCDs) draw the image over the course of a full frame, it's more fair to say 8.3ms, since that's w

Tauri apps don't use the NodeJS runtime. You have to write your app's backend in Rust. Like you said, the NodeJS runtime is tens of MB; if you look at their demo app you'll see that it doesn't even break 3MB.

I think the bloat comes from a few places: Developer productivity: Making complex pages and reusing components across pages is much easier with a library like React than with more vanilla approaches. For a lot of companies with large number

I guess that's the thing; for a lot of industries, people aren't generally going to make a purchase without doing some amount of research. Maybe Tempur-Pedic was on their mind when they entered the store, but once they're in

To add to what others are saying, IDFAs are specifically /not/ device IDs; they were created so that advertising tracking wouldn't carry over between multiple owners of the same phone. You can already reset your IDFA whenever

I've found myself in this sort of situation a lot, including on 2-person teams. While I'm pointing out all the bugs, maintability issues, etc. on their commit, they're busy writing a new commit full of the same types of issue

I personally love hooks, but I can't agree with the claim that "there is nothing to understand about hooks." For starters, they have to be used in a specific way, or else it causes bugs[1]. And there are plenty of other poten

I understand the point you're making, but the bigger reason that <dialog> isn't being used is because it's still locked behind a feature flag in Firefox since they haven't fully implemented it. For a recent project

The article mentions that you can still view and copy/paste the Taiwan emoji in Honk Kong, whereas you can't on the mainland.

From what we know about how the emoji blocking was implemented for mainland China, I doubt it's a benign feature just being misused: https://objective-see.com/blog/blog_0x34.html Notably, the code specifically loo

This is theoretically around the corner; Intel and Micron created a memory technology called 3D XPoint that is persistent and is supposed to have latency close to that of DRAM. Intel just started shipping DIMM modules, though apparently CPU

Unless there's techniques I'm unaware of, I assume you're talking about MAC address-based tracking? Apple has been working to eliminate that; they've been using randomized addresses during scanning since iOS 8. The other
