The 'best' ones currently do, which is the challenge. To wit; LiFePO4 (I don't know how to do subscript on HN, sorry) chemistries aren't exotic, and tend to be more 'stable'. But, you lose about 14% capacity pe

I'd say the bigger nail in the coffin was, ironically, Microsoft's level of security/sandboxing. tl;dr - Snapchat and a lot of other 'killer apps' never were written for the platform, and at least some of that was b

Slightly pedantic point: In the case of C#, not observing an exception (i.e. catching or thrown by another thread could kill the whole program before .NET 4.5. But this was pretty easy to guard around in various, even easy (if sloppy) ways

The UX for mine almost gets it right... If I hit 1,2, or 3, it will cook for that many minutes with some (very minor) level of 'sensing'; If you hit 3 when you meant 1 you're still gonna get a dry brick still, but I don'

In my observations, consultants can be very well (mis)used. Very frequently I've seen the pattern where a consultancy is allowed to go in and do everything at the direction of some project overlord. And, sometimes? That's a -great

If you want to get pedantic I'd argue Generic programming is a subset of metaprogramming. To that end I'll go ahead and state that Lisp (1958) is probably the language I have done the MOST programming I would describe as 'gen

Huh. Never actually looked into HOW it worked in erlang, but basically it looks like it works the same way as Akka/AkkaDotNet; VM skates on top of the underlying transport's ordering guarantees. For a long time I was curious how A
