As one of the 60%, its not about deity worship, but more about a sense of stability. Especially where the monarchy has effectively zero involvement in daily life. When looked at from a P&L basis the crown is pretty good value. Certainly

I had a large tree in the garden of my previous house. I used to make significant quantities of medlar jelly every year and give the jars away to family and friends. The house was 400 years old, but the tree was significantly younger.

For those that have access to Menlo Security’s safe browsing saas service, it’s worthwhile analysing what client side JavaScript can tell you about the runtime environment. Device aspect ratio is just one of the strange things reported.

Waypoint feels similar to Skaffold mixed with some Eirini or Google’s dead kf project.

Mali was an ARM acquisition. It makes sense for NVidia to smash Mali and RTX together to allow Android manufacturers to compete against Apple. Apple built their GPU studio from ex-Imagination staff and will introduce 3 GPUs over the next ye
