Your response is largely grappling onto questionable technicalities with no explanation for your viewpoint and absolutely no relevance. If you're on Google's PR team and paid to pu…

As I understand it, English is your mother tongue. If so, that's probably why you don't have this issue. For me, French is my mother tongue and I live in France. So, there's lots o…

While that would also be a somewhat useful measure in this context, there's very little correlation between the size of the codebase and the size of the binary. Programming languag…

Filtering RSS depends on your RSS client. On the desktop, QuiteRSS [1] is really good at it. On Android, SpaRSS [2] isn't entirely terrible at it, though there might be better ones…

This is a notion that sounds great at first, but it's entirely shallow. - There are tons of information pieces that functionally need to be private, for example passwords, and tons…

Well, you can just as well be best friends, even if you're wanting to mold each other. Both parties just have to be open-minded about it. You might even see it as positive to be ch…

Alright, but it really doesn't seem to me like fixing this issue for you would require breaking the search for bilingual people. There's gotta be so many better ways to resolve tha…

Yeah, it definitely feels like Google has gotten into this phase of a monopoly where you just stop trying. It was specifically Google that used to have all kinds of advanced user t…

The problem with X11 is that it's everything-and-the-kitchen-sink. You can't solve that by making another everything-and-the-kitchen-sink. You need to cut down in some places and m…

Last weekend, my dad needed new printer cartridges and so we went sifting through the internet for different offerings. By chance, we got onto a page on the manufacturer's website,…

That's not the point they're making. What they mean is that if they consider side projects as potential criteria for being hired or not, they'll lose the fun in those side projects…

> Instead of seeing a dollar amount associated with their purchase, app developers show the purchase amount as coins. This could take the sting out of spending cash, Amazon has bel…

> Note that there is no picker for . We decided not to support it since we think it’s easier and faster to enter a time using the keyboard than selecting it from a picker. I've tho…

Nah, it's been on Mozilla's To-Do list for years already, just realistically not ever really a priority. And I'm also pretty sure they've already been actively working on the imple…

Well, Firefox is not Chrome. Firefox usually supports things more completely than Chrome, partially because that's just what they do, they safeguard webstandards, so delivering a s…

The reasoning is that this is a brand-new feature that just landed in the Alpha release of the browser and they're just not done yet with every secondary implementation aspect. Man…

I also find that my brain wrongly pattern-matches words that form a different word when reading the letters in reverse. So, I for example often misread "was" as "saw" or "on" as "n…

In our system, it becomes challenging to find the start of the next line when reading long lines of text. This is pretty much the main reason why sheets of paper or modern webpages…

I don't think this sort of bottom-up approach will make you happy, though. You never know what kind of technology you need tomorrow and whether your Chromebook allows you then to h…

Uploading files would become a chore, as you'd always have to copy them over from your actual Home-directory to that Firefox-user's, but yeah, it would add another thick layer that…

You're describing a sandbox. You run the security-vulnerable routine inside a separate process and give this process the most minimal read/write-permissions that the routine can st…

This isn't exactly a bugfix. It was a feature request and one that conflicted with another feature (Shift+Mousewheel to go back and forth in browsing history; has now been moved to…

There's some progress happening for this in AnySoftKeyboard: https://github.com/AnySoftKeyboard/AnySoftKeyboard/issues/26...

Open-source projects tend to stay below 1.0 much longer than commercial projects, because there's no rush to release a "1.0". If your software works well enough, people will be usi…

Probably a case of having engulfed the industry so much that just throwing money into the industry will actually pay out for them in the long run. And it's probably also just nice …
