Ironically, the historically more "Austrian" expression "Konfitüre" hast become so rare and "Marmelade" so Common, that many Austrians think the former might be the German term. So the insult is out of fashion too. Piefke would be the go-to nowadays :)

And "Marmelade" to means jam in general.

Last time I tried FF on Android, the Font Rendering was abysmal :( I've always been a faithful FF user on Desktop and I wish it would be a good alternative on mobile too. Let's see where this Preview goes.

Java 8? I wish! We're mostly stuck with Java 6 and 7! :(

So what? They can still track you across devices. Especially if they use some 3rd party ad SDK, which might use the Google advertising ID, or some other identifiers.

Well, I think most people do it by some sort of "trial and error", the tool of choise is Matt Godbolt's Compiler Explorer [1]

I sometimes listen to the CppCast Podcast and one of the Hosts, Jason Turner, likes to write code in modern C++ for some vintage computers. He tests code bits in Compiler Explorer for that. He also has a YouTube Channel where he does that [2]

Ironically, the "about" and "projects" links on his blog are broken (which I guess has been generated by a static site generator).

Interesting language! I saw a "throw" in an example, but I don't see exeptions mentioned anywhere? Woulb be interesting to know why a language with performance focus has exceptions (or are they implemented differently?).

How to lie with graphs. It looks like a majority of the tweets hit the limit, yet the text clearly states only 9% of English tweets hit the limit. If you'd zoom out, it simply wouldn't look like a problem (which I don't think it is).

Look at the scales for the graphs on page 9. What a ridiculous comparison...
