There're no independent nations nowadays. Even the US and China are very dependent on trade with other countries. Informational independence is an illusion, only China could be named an mostly informational independent country.

And it's really weird to measure the country's independence by its public "hype" persons or its datacenters count.

I use Chrome, Edge, and Firefox on my laptop with Ubuntu (16 GB RAM) and see no major difference in memory eating. But with Chrome and Edge I have support of newest web APIs rather with Firefox and Safari don't. I'd used Firefox as my main browser before but once moved to Edge (Chromium) because some sites I used stopped opening and working in Firefox.

Dev tools are good as in Chrome as well in Firefox I think.

LeetCode mostly has algorithmic tasks. Of course it's helpful during learning syntax, working with memory, optimizing performance. However, the standard library and other useful libraries and frameworks take much more time to learn them.

A hammer doesn't need to know your intent, it just needs to hammer nails well and pull them out well. LLMs at this period of time are only hammers, very complex and expensive but still hammers.

Strange decision. The AI overview won't disappear but the UK news publishers will disappear from it. People who use a news publisher usually open their websites, not Google. People who open Google to look for news mostly are fulfilled by the AI overview content, if it isn't, they always can check links below the AI overview.

Soulfully! AI just a tool. Person constantly uses the tool instead of itself is felt as a robot.

Multiplayer games are a type of application that requires real-time networking. Try reading "Multiplayer Game Programming: Architecting Networked Games" by Josh Glazer and Sanjay Madhav. Another type of programming with essential real-time is microcontrollers. You can dig into this way.
