The link is terrible. Maybe the article should link to https://arewefastyet.com or maybe the Speedometer selection at https://arewefastyet.com/win10/benchmarks/raptor-desktop-spe..…

There's also @ for steering the browser to a specific search engine (e.g., wikipedia search). The canonical URL for how the address bar short cuts is https://support.mozilla.org/en…

Would be kinda funny if the lone bananas have been removed from the training dataset because they are not part of the depicted item but are merely in the picture for scale :)

So, what's the solution to pairing socks? Buying many pairs from the same. Sure. That makes sense. But what happens when half of them are lost or damaged and you can't buy the same…

write a backdoor :) A kernel module that drops the user into a root shell if they call an obscure kernel functionality with a secret value in some registers. This should be somewha…

Frankly, it's surprising how long they managed to drag it along given they build on top of a weird fork of Firefox ESR. Their foundation is crumbling for years and years. They real…

Surprising there is no mention of the wasm/rust-implemented flash player https://ruffle.rs/ in the article.

MDN is documentation for the web, not Firefox.

ESLint does not even support the browser. I think your first sentence is (I'm assuming accidentally) creating a straw man argument.

The web platform was mostly piecemeal and happenstance. Not careful, coordinated design. You'll find that it is unnecessarily and necessarily complex unless you adopt a framework t…

Those who were involved with the Mozilla open source project or the company in the years of ~2013-2014 will heavily disagree. There was a strong and long debate about the pros and …

Can’t they run an open collective just to pay the bandwidth bill?

Why are other browsers allowing access when Firefox is not? Isn’t this a security issue?

Nice idea. Out of curiosity, which song inspired you to build this site?

template does HTML parsing. The `content` attribute returns a DocumentFragment.

Do you have a link to the template instantiation proposal?

Yup. Like on a casio. If I remember correctly the modes were normal time, stop watch, timer and .beats

I had a "beats" watch in the late 90s. Something with "internet" in the name was super appealing to me, when I knew I couldn’t have the actual internet with me. I guess back then, …

These APIs were synchronous and thus blocking. People blamed Firefox being slow when in fact, it was mostly extension APIs and the extension code.

the old APIs were actually the only existing, internal and synchronous APIs which does not work in a multi-process, site-isolation architecture. The internal APIs also had to go. W…

Rust has very strong backing at Meta, Microsoft, Google, AWS and others. I wouldn't worry about corporate backing. You can call into the Windows APIs (there's a windows crate) and …

Use a linter, a formatter or any other tool that complains early and often. Have a starting setup for each programming language. Being surrounded by a supporting environment helps.…
