I'd like to see better stability. My biggest issue with Firefox on Windows right now is that it hangs if I leave it open for several days. Mozilla does have a suggestion on their support site: don't do that[1]: > Firefox hangs

I wonder if that was due to how much awkwardness there was in the movie. * It's a divisive mood. Some people find it relatable and cathartic (and hilarious in the context of comedy), while others find it intolerable to the point that t

If you don't need something as low-level as next.jdbc, HugSQL is my preferred library. It lets you write queries in .sql files, and the queries are then loaded as functions. If you want to dynamically generate queries, there are also l

Yes, I'm wearing one right now that I know I bought at least 18 months ago. If you wash them in cold water and hang dry them, they will last a long time.

Chicago has an estimated 4000 coyotes living in the urban area. I would occasionally see them in parks and graveyards when I was out walking at dawn, but otherwise they are almost invisible. Rodents, including rats, make up about 75% of a c

It's not a false positive though. The headline is designed to grab your attention by manipulating your curiosity. How did they fare? I prefer that headlines like this are penalized.
