Most useful in what context? If you want to pick up a language as quick as possible then C# or Java. Either choice is fine. C# has a lot of potential in the future now Microsoft are making it more open with multi-platform .NET but it is sti

Ha yeah I know what you mean. I am still angry about Reader. For now at least it seems Google is putting work into Keep so I hope it won't disappear anytime soon. Unfortunately having a todo/notes app that allows for account contr

I use Google Keep for this. Works well enough. When Microsoft bought Wunderlist I moved away from it as I guessed it would be replaced by a lesser product (at least initially) and probably folded into Office 365.

Google has to do something about ads IMHO. On the desktop it isn't so bad as we have extensions such as uBlock Origin but Chrome on Android is a truly awful experience on some sites. Just yesterday I tapped a news story from Google N

What I want is for a web site to use standard web technologies so I can use it with my browser of choice. I have no issue with Google putting things over the wire via HTTP but if it only works with a specific client it isn't, to me, a

I respectfully disagree. [P]NaCl is bad for the web just like ActiveX was. They have a Google Earth desktop client if you want a desktop application. As this is sitting on the open web it should use open standards.

RMS is eccentric and a radical but he is a man of his principles and hasn't sold out. I have always respected his message and greatly appreciated his work. Like you my views have changed as I got older. I am now 33 and wish I had got i

I feel the issue isn't the $70 which isn't a big deal (or shouldn't be) but more the point that other editors like VSCode are available now and have the backing of a big company like Microsoft. The biggest criticism of Sublim

I got a Samsung KS8000 and honestly couldn't be happier. I didn't see an image improvement in the 9000 series to justify the additional expense and I didn't want any bigger than 49" I would love OLED but burn in concerns

You have always been able to make a local account during Windows 10 setup however it was not so obvious how to find the option in earlier versions.

You could check out http://www.catch22.net/tuts/neatpad It is Windows specific but very informative.

Making GNOME look like Unity is simple. Getting it to work like Unity is a bit different. The main difference being the global menu bar.

That was a rather oddly worded press release. Much more defensive than I would have expected and quite arrogant towards the end. They make it sound as if no other company on earth could do what they do which as we know does not usually work

Thank you very much :) The weather is lovely in West London today so we have been out teaching my son to ride his bike. Now I am relaxing with an ice cold soft drink and this evening I have been promised a few hours uninterrupted gaming hah

I am exactly the same. Even now at 33 (birthday today in fact!) my most productive and creative hours are from 9pm until 3am. My mind is sharper at that time and I have no idea why. I have tried every thing I have heard of to make myself a

What I love about Input Mono is the customisation options for download. So nice to be able to live preview and pick all the options I want. Very cool.

Bang on point. All the people who complain "oh but C is so dangerous you should rewrite in $HotNewLanguage" do nothing to actually help with their "expert" recommendation.

AFICT you cannot build a like-for-like chakra.dll from ChakraCore due to https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore#using-chakracore The chakra.dll that comes as part of Windows/Edge includes the additional parts not

by satysin 10y ago
Edge is closed source. You have no way of verifying the build of Chakra used is the same as the open source version. Well it might be possible to reproduce a build of Chakra to do a binary comparison but i am not aware of anyone doing it.

Nobody is saying write your own crypto just your own app. Plenty of excellent crypto libraries out there.
