    It would be good if Samsung browser were listed. It has about 10% market share of chromium browsers and is on version 136. It sticks to one version for months at a time and then ju…

    I got my current job through GitHub. At least that's how the 3rd party recruiter told me he found me. It's possible he was lying and thought it would impress me (it did). My profil…

    The normal forms are about how data is stored, rather than how it looks after a query. After all, most joins will violate second normal form. But yes, SQL doesn't work well with th…

    I think it depends on if you define a functional language as one that functional programs can be written in, or a language that can only write functional programs. I often see Java…

    Which operating system(s) or window managers are you thinking of? I don't believe Gnome provides this option.

    Do you think a publicity campaign would work? Adverts on the TV, radio, YouTube and the web to teach car drivers and pedestrians about the new rules
