Firefox at least exposes an endless amount of toggles to tweak pretty much every behaviour the browser has. This is includes settings for removing or disabling all the integration with Mozilla services and their ads. See for example: http

If you consider Rust an academic language, you are quite a few years out of date. The language is in production at Google, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft (including making it into the Windows kernel), and is slowly being included in Linux a

I have a standard copy n paste prompt that instructs it to keep answers concise and free of boilerplate. Otherwise ChatGPT is prone to injecting lots of filler text as well.

Can Parseable be sharded, or can you just run a single instance?

I don't think so. Considering my experience with Saleforce, I'm quite sure the comment is entirely earnest.

You need to account for all the weight required to turn the radiation into electricity. That'll make the numbers ... a bit different.

Sure, their UX is more polished, and due to using residential IPs they aren't so easily blocked out. But there is a different reason for the popularity: NordVPN and others spend a lot of money on aggresive and pretty shady advertising,

I use a custom Firefox config that tweaks and disables lots of features, based on this template: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js . Fun fact: this makes you extremely easy to identify, because it gives your browser

The advertisers care about "brand safety", which Musk completely undermined with his verification changes and the following wave of meme accounts impersonating companies. The changes were quickly rolled back to put safeguards and

Bitbucket was reasonably good 8 years ago, but they have progressively fallen further and further behind. I've seen lots of companies move away from their stack over the last few years. The UI is a dog slow , bloated mess of Javascript

I agree, and I also feel we should stop using the term sideloading. It has a very negative connotation, like you are doing something odd, out of the ordinary, unorthodox, even semi-forbidden. In reality it's just: installing and runnin

I don't quite follow your argument there. This is unrelated to kernel threading. If you have 1 thread handling 1000 requests with some async io mechanism (epoll, io_uring, ...) ,instead of 1000 threads each handling one request, there

You are leaving out an important aspect: context switches are expensive, especially with all the mitigations introduced after Spectre et al. Doing more work in a single thread saves a lot of context switches, especially if IO makes up a lar

As it stands CRDTs are only really useful for a narrow subset of data. Data is guaranteed to converge, but there is no guarantee that the final result makes any kind of semantic sense in the application domain. One can write custom conflict

Can anyone familiar with the RISC-V ecosystem chime in here? I assume Pathfinder was supposed to funnel customers to their fab business. Is there just better tooling out there so it's not really worth it, or are they giving up on their

sccache includes the absolute path for each compilation, so it doesn't help with caching the same dependency across different projects.
