Comment Compiling C code in a large code base might hurt&# (Score 1) 175

For a software engineer working on a Pi, compiling C code in a large code base would hit pretty hard, Iâ(TM)m guessing⦠Still⦠I wouldnâ(TM)t mind giving it a go, just for the experience. My own home projects are pretty manageable C/C++ code projects. They take a couple of minutes to compile on a 3ghz PC. But my professional work requires about 20-30 minutes to compile the entire code base on a 12/24 Ryzen PC. On the flip side, after a lifetime of working on computer stuff, if/when I hit 80, Iâ(TM)m probably going to turn off all PCs in my house and go for a nature walk instead.

Comment I use Edge on desktop. It's fine. (Score 1) 127

I use Edge on Win10. I do also have Chrome, Firefox, and Opera installed. With Opera being my fallback browser on the super rare occasion Edge fails me. The only time Edge failed me was actually the website checking for the browser type and just displaying a "not supported" message instead. I wonder if Edge would have done fine or not with that site. On mobile, the articles say that mobile Edge is a wrapper around the native browser SDKs with Microsoft services added. That's fine to me. That means it'll work just as well as Chrome/iOS mobile and as a bonus, I can start reading a site on the mobile and then continuing from where I left on my desktop (or visa versa). One thing to note: Win10 Mobile's Edge running on a Nokia 616 phone (1gb ram and 4 slow cores) runs giga-circles around Chrome on Android 7.1.2 on my Nexus 5x with 2 gbs of RAM and 6(?) cores. Competition is good. It made MS create a good browser. In my opinion a *very* good browser.
