There was a period some years ago where Firefox and Chrome were leapfrogging each other: Firefox would get slow and crap so I’d switch, then Chrome would get slow and crap and I’d switch back to FF, and so on. I’ve been on Chrome for quite a while it seems, until this development with uBO, well for me the internet is unusable without a shitblocker, so that’s the end of Chrome. Thankfully FF is up to the job.
And my phaseout of Chrome is complete. My two browsers are now Firefox and Edge. Bit surprised at the latter tbh but it seems reasonably adequate as a secondary browser.
Everyone’s the apostrophe police or something.
Not as bad as the Yanks. We have a number of socialist policies here which are all very useful.
It’s just American corporate FUD. Either you’re a complete balls-out capitalist, or you’re an ultra-commie. Nothing inbetween. Mention the EU and they stick their fingers in their ears and yell
Quite right too. The most important factor for me when buying a computer is that the sales droid is in an office. All those CPU, RAM and disk numbers are secondary to that.
If capitalisation is used to indicate the start of words then it could make sense for a webserver to serve ExpertsExchange and ExpertSexChange. But yeah having 16 possible versions of “main” would be horrendous.
Must be the updated version of ~~####3$3$$%^^~! NO CARRIER
Lower performance though. At each iteration through the string you need to compare the length with a counter, which if you want strings longer than 255 characters will have to be multibyte. With NTS you don’t need the counter or the multibyte comparison, strings can be indefinitely long, and you only need to check if the byte you just looked at is zero, which most CPUs do for free so you just use a branch-if-[not-]zero instruction.
The terminating null also gives you a fairly obvious visual clue where the end of the string is when you’re debugging with a memory dump. Can you tell where the end of this string is: “ABCDEFGH”? What about now: “ABCD\0EFGH”?
I had a Sony phone once. It was shite. Couldn’t remember the date and time on a reboot.
It was crap in other ways too but that was the one that annoyed me the most. Obviously the majority of the price went on the name and not the phone. Shame really, Sony used to be a name that meant quality, now they’re just another bunch of MBA-led enshittifiers.
Fmovies? Never heard of… wait, sorry, what I meant to say was OH NO!!! Not Fmovies!!! Guess I’m going to have to buy everything now!!!11!1
Arr.
Don’t worry guys. As long as project managers think “do the thing … like the thing … (waves hands around) … you know … (waves hands around some more) … like the other thing … but, um, …, different” constitutes a detailed spec, we’re safe.
Not more wokism! Next they’ll be demanding we stop talking about executing a child!

Probably significantly fewer. Here in the UK someone’s salary is about half of what it costs a business to employ them. It might be more than that in the USA but there will be other non-salary costs per employee.
Yes, and it took less than a minute of googling to find “I’m paying, why do I still see ads?”. There’s also someone in this thread complaining of the same.
In polish you do almost anythig for those crazy Scrabble scores.
Well NATO works both ways, and we’ve seen recently what happens if russia decides to walk into a non-NATO country.
If russia walks into the USA then NATO (probably renamed to the European Defence something) will be sitting back going “hey, sucks to be you. Shame you’re not in a mutual defence pact or something.”
