I want to use Firefox on my phone, but it's UI is just so confusing - specifically the tab switching flow. When you try to switch tabs, the whole screen is replaced, the typically …

Microsoft has a zillion native SDK developers. Recently they replaced their native Visual Studio installer with an Electron based one. That should tell you something.

I've been programming for close to 30 years, starting on a Z80 BASIC with 48 KB of RAM (I'm from a poor country, this is what we had in 1990). I'm using a lot of Electron apps toda…

Both Singapore and Hong Kong are basically cities. That's like talking about the IQ of London/New York. They also have extensive air-conditioning.

You can find free online tests. They should take at least 30 min. Do 3-4 different ones to confirm you get about the same score (less than 5 points difference). If you live in a bi…
