The reason this method is so powerful is that you don’t have to make any changes to your web application, you just have to sacrifice a little bit of memory.

This is ideal for an application that mostly does reads against the database, such as a WordPress blog....

Human brains are supremely adapted to recognize faces, so much so that we see faces that aren’t even there.

Microsoft announced that the WebView2 runtime is rolling out to all Windows 10 PCs, if they’re running the April 2018 Update or later. The component was already included in Windows 11, but before now, applications had to bundle the entire runtime (increasing download sizes and complexity) if they wanted to use WebView2 on Windows 10....

Thanks in Advance! TIA means “thanks in advance.” It’s a way to express gratitude to someone for something before they’ve done it. People use it at the end of social media posts or text messages.

The Problem With Bitcoin In order to maintain the security and transparency on the Bitcoin blockchain, the blocks of data that make up the blockchain are quite small. Bitcoin’s blocks are only able to hold one megabyte of data. Some of the newer blockchains, like Solana, use block sizes of 10 megabytes. This lack of size slows transaction speeds and as a result, there can be “traffic jams” on the blockchain....
