There's a difference between having an account and actually using it. I suspect the amount of US men who regularly bet on sports is much, much lower. That being said: I find sports extremely boring. If I had a lot of social pressure

I'm less interested in privacy browsers that just use Chromium and then slap some chrome around it. Instead, what I want is a browser that actively blocks annoying page behaviors . For example, I want a browser that makes all text on

There are a lot of privacy browsers floating around. I'm a big fan of Brave, and it took me some digging to see the difference. In my case, the lack of sync is a big show stopper for me. Brave syncs without "cloud." Instead,

Basically, it's easier to see tab titles when you have a LOT of tabs open. They really only work if you have a large monitor. I use a 50" 4k TV and two other monitors, and a 15" laptop. When I'm on smaller screens I have

I don't know the internal details of the architecture, but on Windows, it's very trivial to be "Chromium". The newest web browser component has been based on Chromium for a few years.

In the aerospace world, it's called a "systems engineer." The lead: 1: Understands the whole system, but not necessarily every detail. 2: Plans the whole project. Edit: Sometimes in the software world, the title is "ar

In this case, we're discussing a case where mark-and-sweep is used to collect cyclic references, and it's implied that there are no generations. (Because otherwise, purely relying on reference counting means that cyclic references

So basically you're trading lowering RAM consumption for higher CPU consumption? FWIW: When I look at Azure costs, RAM tends to cost more than CPU. So the tradeoffs of using a "slower" memory manager might be justified.

One anecdote from working with .Net for over 20 years: I've had a few situations where someone (who isn't a programmer and/or doesn't work with .Net) insists that the application has a memory leak. First, I explain that

This post would carry a lot more authority if it was on an official MS or .net blog; instead of Medium. (I typically associate Medium with low-quality blog entries and don't read them.)

I should have added: One of the advantages of server-side Blazor (in C#) is that the server essentially returns partial bits of HTML for incremental page updates. This allows you to write UI code without needing to jump through all the hoop

Oh, it's very solvable. (As I pointed out.) The bigger issue is naivety. A lot of these corner cases mean that it's unlikely someone can just put together a useful prototype in a weekend or two. > if it was more profitable we

The problem with voice control is that it requires you to know (or guess) a lot about the thing you're trying to control. When it malfunctions, it takes more , not less, attention than a touchscreen. I've driven Teslas for seven
