Memory management, but that impacts stability/security instead of performance.

I'm assuming C is for compiled, V for virtual machine, I for interpreted.

Dart for sure is compiled, i think requiring a VM to run. It's a bit weird, but definitely not interpreted, unless you transpile to JavaScript.

Also, couldn't read the whole paper, but the numbers for Python are rather staggering. I remember reading on performance and there were massive differences between CPython, PyPy and a third one I can't recall. And that's surely to impact energy consumption.

Package manager update >< background information update

Unless your chat app requires a package manager update to retrieve new messages, we're talking different things.

Weird. Maybe I installed uBlock first thing after install and don't remember. But I do know I didn't do custom block lists.

Thanks! BTW, BadBlock - Unsafe (ABP) is the list. Seems a bit overzealous, but it comes enabled by default on Iron Fox.

I'm using audacious just so I can keep rocking Winamp skins.

This domain is blocked by my adblock as unsafe. I believe the headline, but do you have another source?

I'm positive that's iOS.

I think you're misunderstanding it. Most mobile apps have sensible defaults regarding data and battery usage, for instance, not updating (their feeds/server status/whatever networked service the app uses) if not in WiFi.

Also a great song by Juli.

And that's Linus' doing, mostly. Kent insists it is production ready. I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole, at least for now.
