Does fuchsia contain any significant amount of low level go code? The majority code in zircon seems cpp to me. D by Digital Mars is a language not a project. The java use cases you mention seem very niche. Even databases written in Java ( C

This is the only tool I miss from Windows on macOS and linux both. It allows you to search for every single file on your system, allows regex searches. It also allows you to sort the matching files by any arbitrary criteria, e.g, size. It i

Spotlight is no where near as feature complete as Everything. Everything literally searches "everything". Searching every single file on your disk matching a regex sorted by file size, piece of cake.

With growth slowing in hardware sales, more and more of Apple revenue might come from services in the future. Services are currently a minuscule amount compared to hardware for Apple, but might become huge one day. Would Apple be able to re

The biggest advantage Apple would have over Tesla is "cold, hard cash". They have far too much money to throw at problems than Tesla. Even if they are 2x less efficient than Tesla in setting up infrastructure to manufacture Cars,

I think we should always remember that users want usability too and most of the times aren't willing to surrender features for the extra gain in security. If users preferred security, a lot more people would be using PGP.

Isn't Telegram open source strictly superior than WhatsApp open source? WhatsApp has neither client side nor server side code available(server side doesn't mean much anyways, as Good luck verifying if that is the code which runs o

Yeah, that probably works well for you, but a lot of people want chat histories. In general, telling people to give up features which they really want is not a recipe for product adoption.

I keep hearing that additional social networks will solve the problem. How exactly do additional social networks solve this problem? Won't they be even more inclined to serve addictive content under the threat of cut throat competition

British rule being a net positive for India is an even bigger joke than David Cameron being the best British prime minister of all time. My history teacher showed us the famous trade triangle involving China->Britan-India. Chinese tea to

Why is that a deal breaker for you? AFAIK, Signal only uses GCM to send notifications to wake the app. No data is sent over GCM. What messaging platform you use to avoid GCM?

I think firefox android user experience can be improved in a lot of cases by simply setting the User Agent to chrome. I have found that this works very well with a lot of sites. For example, doing a google search for any sports league gives

It does the same on Android asking to open in "Chrome", regardless of whether I am using Brave or Firefox. However, the click always opens in the current browser for me regardless of clicking on chrome.

I was reading about employee-employer relationship in Japan(in the context of Sony) and it seemed like most people used to work at a place for life. It might be similar for Germany in a lot of industries(Automobile, heavy manufacturing). Ho

The charts on this website are eye opening. Even in 4 candidates we can see very strange behaviour from IRV. I initially didn't understand why IRV would be non monotonic, but reading some examples it can be seen that the results of IRV

Aren't there already some competing social media platforms out there? Twitter, facebook(Whatsapp and Instagram too), Snapchat, G+ used to be a thing. You may say they do not compete head on to each other, but which one of them was immu

The revenue graph is shocking, but I think MSFT overtook IBM in net income much earlier than catching up with revenue.

Power consumed is high. Brave consistently shows up as the highest cpu using app. Is firefox better on battery? If so, I will give it another try, as that is a very worthwhile trade-off.

I have been using brave on android and really enjoy the experience. It is very similar to chrome and thus gives most of the advantages of chrome (opening browser after a long time feels very snappy, swipe to switch tabs). It also has conven
