See linked article, under "Phenomenon #6: Cognitive abilities can be retained when the brain is seriously compromised", terminal lucidity, etc: "the patients demonstrated normal co…

Not necessarily, there are plenty of rigorously documented cases of people being conscious without any brain activity. This article is also pretty interesting: https://www.frontier…

> You'll need to share the decryption key (e.g. via 1password shared vaults). Not really. It also supports keeping the symmetric decryption key encrypted with the GPG key of each a…

Exactly. Case in point: Sonos not getting along with Google means the Youtube Music app doesn't allow casting to a Sonos speaker directly (like the Spotify app for example). This m…

> So, yes, a $400 iPhone SE bests a $3,000 top-of-the-line MacBook Pro in single-core CPU performance. Lies, damn lies and benchmarks? I don't believe that for a second.

This is a very interesting project, thanks. I'd love to see how you solve the problem of typed message passing in the language itself.

Even more so in this case, where if they discontinue the product you probably risk losing access to your entire game collection.

You mean like vectorized instructions and such? I don't know, but if I had to guess I'd say no. Anyway, I'm sure there are some compilation phases that won't benefit from more core…

I haven't done any rigorous testing, but looks compiling the project I'm working on does use all CPUs. There's also this: https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Kernel.ParallelCompiler.html

I'm very curious how this CPU performs for Elixir compilation.

I think you're missing the point. We're not comparing Safari with IE6 -- that would be absurd, we're just saying Safari compares to it's peers (Chrome, Firefox, heck, even Edge) li…

wow, you're not kidding. only latest FF supports subgrid ?!

Product quality up, market share down. Doesn't sound good to me.

heck, we're supporting IE11 at great pains with ~4% audience

Same with Chrome 76 on macOS
