I did a maintenance pass on an MFC app (ported from C/Solaris in the mid 90s) 2 years ago. As a can I still think in pointers exercise it was interesting; but at the end of the day it was just putting a ribbon of lipstick on a pig (literally, half the work was replacing a mess of floating window not-toolbars with a ribbon, the other half preventing corrupted appstate if you switch tasks mid-workflow) because the govt entity we were working for had money that needed to be spent or else. I'm 99.9% sure our code/binary CDs were stuck in a filing cabinet and immediately forgotten about after the contract ended.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Just trying out the new FireFox.
So far, it does seem very fast.
Last night I had MS Edge running (with only 2 tabs open) and it ate up 500MB of Memory and Win10 reported that I was low on memory. Wow, Edge, just wow. Not even Visual Studio does that to me.
Have any of you tried the new FireFox? Just curious.
EDIT
Checking out Dev Tools (web console, etc).
So far it looks good.
Regular Browsing
Also, looks like new FireFox uses styles in interesting ways.
I like the different fonts it's using to render the page. Looks quite good.

I used it seems very Chrome like...

The only downside I spent five minutes look for Chrome Cast...

It's nice, except for the new version of an extension that doesn't have all the features of the older version that's not compatible with the new FF.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, I see after reading a bit that many extensions aren't updated for the new FF and many don't work at all.
|
|
|
|
|
For this reason, I only allowed my "junk" machine to update to FF 57.
It's bad enough that they don't support the old extensions - but they don't even have any replacements for what I'm looking for.

Yeah, while reading a bit more about it, I guess extensions have some issues and some are completely unsupported now.

I don't think it, Firefox may run faster than normal but it is still low in comparison with other sites

I happen to interact with/about a guy called Jason.
While saying something, I say like.
I've communicated this to Json.
Then, while speaking with the tech team, I'm saying
Please check if it matches with the Jason structure
We pronounce both the words very similar, hence the mix up.
You call them differently?

We (English speakers) pronounce them both Jay-son.

As long as you don't end up in a sentence like "if the parent is json, we can assign anything to the child" ... everything is ok

Use Dutch pronunciation, that way Jason will sound like 'Jahson'
|
|
|
|

It is pronounced as "broken XML".

If you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

JSON I pronounce jaySON.
Jason I pronounce JAYson though it tends to sound more like JAYsen.
|
|
|
|
|
That's the way we do it too.
|

Sorry, no Jason, here (only Paolo and Lorenzo nearby).
No JSON either (we are developers, after all).

Try Fred and Bob less confusion.
