I agree that the lack of full support for add-ons is frustrating, but the alternative you end up going back to, Brave, doesn't (seem to) support add-ons at all. How is that better?

Android (Studio) seems extra bad in this regard. I once decided to start a new app project, and it instantly didn't build because the generated build configuration was referring to incompatible versions of different components. I thoug

Solitaire and the other games were included just as features. You had to seek them out, and they were there for you to enjoy if you wanted. Candy Crush is given prime real estate in the start menu, and is a highly commercial game with in-ap

It's important to note that all the PHP results that are high up on the lists are using Workerman[1] with the event module, Swoole[2] or ngx_php[3]. They don't use the traditional PHP runtime model, which boots up and tears down t

I agree with most of the article you link, but there's one thing I don't understand: The article quickly dismisses the obvious fix for recursive iterability, to make strings be composed of "characters": > And an obvio

Interestingly, for me, it's reporting significantly higher speeds than I'm paying for, and than other speed tests report. I'm paying for 100 Mbps down / 100 Mbps up, and every speedtest always comes very close. Upload us

Huh, that's interesting. I even tried a private browsing window without any form of blocking, but I don't get a popup at all.

IRC servers don't run in a browser. Instead they scan ports from the outside, which is not a problem. Anything they find is open to the entire internet anyway.

Overbooking is actually incredibly common. Every flight has some number of passengers not show up. Airlines prefer to compensate one or two people for the fact that they didn't get a seat, instead of leaving some number of seats empty.

Your timeline is incorrect. Both Unity and GNOME 3 came out before Windows 8. I also dislike the trend, but I've moved on to tiling window managers after a few months on Ubuntu/Kubuntu.

It's great that they fixed that part, but to be honest that was the most excusable of the problems. I understand that maintaining an update path from any old version to the current one can be hard, so updating in steps is fine. None of

The thing that is non-standard is the fact that it's a setting at all. It's not up to the application to decide when it should start, it's up to the system. And it should most definitely not override the settings of the syste

That is a China problem, not a Duo problem. Sadly Google is not the company it once was, and has taken steps in the wrong direction, but it clearly has the moral high ground on this front.
