If your doing Android Development with the ARM emulator, then its crazy slow. However, if you use the x86 emulator - then you get native speed. Xcode/iOS's emulator is actually x86…

They go over the effects of compression - which they say only degrades the protection - but at the same time also degrades the identification accuracy of the AI model. So if your c…

What's wrong with personal projects on a Free private Github repo? (they offer those now). Previously I would just put my pet projects on Bitbucket because they offered free privat…

Newer versions (since around 2013) of webkit and gecko limit a:visited style changes to just colour or background colour. So the getComputedStyle() trick doesn't work anymore. Is t…

A few years back the Graal compiler from Oracle caught my attention as it was able to accelerate ruby code on the JVM with incredible results. However it was not able to support an…
