What is Dynamic Email? Dynamic Emails are essentially built on AMP standards to allow users to get updated messages on-the-fly, without having to refresh or go to another webpage.

Another proof of this is that the design of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus is not the best on the market, but they do try to emulate as much as possible, or as we can see in the vast majority of Chinese manufacturers, especially the lesser known which do not sell internationally....

Remember Loki using those words to a seemingly distraught Agent Romanoff in The Avengers?

Programming language As we’ve discussed, lower-level languages are more efficient on their own, but as you’re calculating programming language efficiency, make sure to include energy consumption from the compiler, linker, and byte code generator. Problem-solving and algorithms It’s hard to find an optimized solution to a problem and code through an inefficient algorithm: I can add 1 + 1 to get 2, or I can first add 4, then subtract 7, then add 3 … and also get 2....

iPhone XR – for all ye in search of iPhone newness (Rs 76,900) Yes, that price makes one redefine the term “affordable,” but on the flip side, there can be no arguing with the fact that the iPhone XR is almost a fourth cheaper than the base iPhone XS. And while that price cut does come with compromises in terms of hardware (no full HD display, no dual cameras, an aluminum frame rather than a steel one), the XR also has its own share of aces up its sleeve – the A12 processor is the same seen on the XS and XS Max and delivers similarly stunning speed, the design is easily the most colorful in recent iPhone history (and the XR is a looker), the single camera is good enough to make you doubt the need for dual ones (a la the Pixel 3), and well, the battery life is the best we have EVER seen on ANY iPhone, easily getting past a day of normal use....
