Interesting, given that just 2 days ago it was announced [0] that Intel was going to start to use AMD for some of their integrated graphics. Now they're going to complete against t…

It's been interesting watching SO try to monetize. I wonder: How would people feel if they went the Wikipedia way? It's obviously a very beneficial site, but not as widely applicab…

Of course things get framed to manipulate opinion. Now, I actually don't mean this with any snark, but how is what you're doing any different? This tax credit applies to plenty of …

I'm not too sure how I feel about this. I'm trying to battle my knee-jerk negativity about this, but I'm not sure I can come up with good reasons to. At best, I think my hopes are …

It isn't exactly a platform, but it sounds like you would be well served by The Theoretical Minimum [0]. The courses [1] start at classical mechanics, but the second one is QM and …

Just had an interesting experience with that. I moved the frame so that it showed the timer countdown and screens as well as John. After it hit 0, they put up "Please go to Q&A". A…

What's with the revisionist history? Mozilla acquired Pocket long after the controversy. Per wikipedia [0]: Integration into Firefox: June 2015 Acquired by Mozilla: February 27, 20…

I did get that as well. I'm confused why this is the default. I imagine it's just the learning curve of this feature, I totally understand why they have the need to spin off certai…

I wonder about this as well. What are people finding is the best use of the default container - what opens as a new tab? Do you keep that your personal container, and opt-in to oth…

I really like this! First time I've actually tried it out now that it's an extension. Seeing an issue with the always open in this container feature though - clicking on a YouTube …

Maybe I'm missing something, but my impression of Brave was that behind the scenes it was just another Chromium browser. All the same little issues I have with Chromium were presen…

> something available in C++11 (that's C++ released in 2011) Nit: The standard was finalized in 2011 - August 2011 to be more specific, so quite late in the year. Full compliance i…

I'm really not worried about some downvotes, but am surprised to see them. How is it not embarrassing that as much progress we have made with web standards, a major feature in one …

I have plenty of battery issues on MacOS with both Firefox and Chrome. When it's a concern, I try to use Safari. I would probably use it all the time, but it's still awful when it …
