Nothing. I tried it when they were popular and realized that it's very distracting, pretty similar to a real pet walking around you while you work. :)

Good work! What data does the app use to measure the distance to a device? Received Signal Strength only or Channel Sounding too?

Old software is fast because it's built for old hardware and usually it was developed by good-taught engineers.

There're no independent nations nowadays. Even the US and China are very dependent on trade with other countries. Informational independence is an illusion, only China could be named an mostly informational independent country.

And it's really weird to measure the country's independence by its public "hype" persons or its datacenters count.

I use Chrome, Edge, and Firefox on my laptop with Ubuntu (16 GB RAM) and see no major difference in memory eating. But with Chrome and Edge I have support of newest web APIs rather with Firefox and Safari don't. I'd used Firefox as my main browser before but once moved to Edge (Chromium) because some sites I used stopped opening and working in Firefox.

Dev tools are good as in Chrome as well in Firefox I think.

What about Bing and Yandex which are much more popular than DuckDuckGo and especially other items from this article?

LeetCode mostly has algorithmic tasks. Of course it's helpful during learning syntax, working with memory, optimizing performance. However, the standard library and other useful libraries and frameworks take much more time to learn them.

A hammer doesn't need to know your intent, it just needs to hammer nails well and pull them out well. LLMs at this period of time are only hammers, very complex and expensive but still hammers.

AI just an instrument. It can't damage brains. However bad written articles can. If you see a bad article, just don't read it and everything will be OK :)

Reread yourself after some time and compare your feelings with the best reading you used to read.

History is cyclic :) Especially nice to see here Google Chrome, which has more than 70% on Statcounter.
