It's not specific to Ask; any text post (as opposed to a URL post) will have grey text. I believe this is to encourage people to post links instead of text, though arguably now that Ask and Show have dedicated front pages they should g

This is an absurd comparison. The number of devices running Gingerbread (which is 7 years old) is around 1% [1]. At the time when XP was 10 years old, its usage was much higher. I understand that phones don't receive updates (I've

It's always been 10-20% slower than CUDA and frankly NVIDIA doesn't have an incentive to make it faster than that. On the other hand, I believe Google is working on a CUDA compiler [1] so we may actually see meaningful improvement

It's worth noting that "git stash -p" (aka "git stash --patch") already exists and allows you to commit individual files or hunks within a file. Though the cost is going through an interactive interface, so some use

I switched away from MacPorts because packages I cared about were consistently out of date. For example, the MacPorts package for Pandoc is 3 year old [1][2]. That's a cherry-picked example, of course, but was representative of my expe

I really love Serde, but one consequence of splitting out the formats into different libraries is that different formats can be of substantially different levels of quality. My impression is that JSON support is best-of-class, but I have no
