As long as there have been consoles and basements and childhoods, there’s been at least one worn out controller plaguing their innocence. Sometimes one can see it upon entering the video game room: there’s duct tape around the base, a splint holding the trigger, and the surface looks like it was dragged behind a motorcycle. Here a game of musical chairs occurs, though it feels more like Russian roulette, because having the wonky controller means you’re going to be killed pretty quickly....

The Chrome web browser allows you to “install” some web apps to your computer, so they can live alongside your usual apps and games. Soon, they’ll work even better in dark mode. Regular applications on Mac, Windows, and some Linux distributions can change their colors and appearance when you turn on the system dark mode, but websites and web apps don’t have access to all the same options. They can’t specify a different title bar color for dark mode (except just black), or a different background color for the splash screen when you first open the web app....

Rather than running an always-online application, they run a single function in the cloud, which can be triggered in response to API events or other events in your AWS account. How Do You Use Lambda Functions? Lambda is a compute service, plain and simple, and it’s probably the simplest of them all. Rather than renting out a server with a specific number of cores and amount of RAM, you simply upload your code, and run the function....

The Difference Between Cores and Threads It’s important to understand the distinction between a processing thread and CPU core. CPUs will have a set number of cores which handle execution of programs.

We’re using PHP here but the concepts apply to all object-oriented codebases. Without Dependency Injection With Dependency Injection The difference is subtle but significant. Both classes have a dependency on a Mailer instance. The first class constructs its own Mailer, whereas the second works with a Mailer provided by the outside world....

You’d use .NET Core when you need cross-platform compatibility, and you’d use ....
