Some things can not be easily purchased with money. Getting paid twice as much may let me retire faster. But what if I don't want to retire? What about people, who actually love their jobs? Intel engineers design chips, used by billion

This is wonderful news, but Graal is sadly behind the times there. Android had AOT compilation of Java bytecode (well, technically Dalvik bytecode) since 2013. It was upgraded to hybrid AOT/JIT mode in 2016. All of it was open-source

Maps.me uses it's own map file format and it's own 3D map renderer. It was created in 2014, — OsmAnd used to be quite slow and clumsy back then (not sure how they compare today)

This isn't really a big concern. Bacteria and mushrooms can eat anything: rock, metal, radioactive waste, basically anything at all. But metabolizing those things isn't very efficient. Plastic-eating mushrooms will always lose to

They ask for mobile phones regardless of your IP. In some countries anonymous e-mail is illegal. If your IP comes from such country, Google will _always_ ask for phone number on that account without option to refuse. Otherwise they will ask

It is a complex, stateful (!!) protocol with non-trivial state-machine. A "console app" won't cut it. Even Wireshark might not cut it. Thanks to things like quick start, TLS session tickets and server push you won't unde
