One thing that stuck out to me about this is that there have only been 32 years since 1993. That is, if it's happened 6 times, this threshold is breached roughly once every five ye…

Temporal does have PlainDate, which is the Date primitive you're describing (by a different name, presumably to not collide with the old Date type). https://developer.mozilla.org/e…

Yes, but Orion uses WebKit intentionally on desktop as well, unlike Chrome or Firefox which use their own engines on desktop but WebKit on iOS, so it's a bit different in this case…

If we assume this means "in the next 50 years", they wouldn't be totally wrong. You could make the case airplanes were only on the cusp of being "a meaning[ful] part of life in Ame…

I don't think any of that means the benchmarks shouldn't be taken seriously. GP didn't say they expect Bcachefs to perform like EXT4/XFS, they said they expected more like Btrfs or…

I think it has improvements that were never upstreamed to the kernel, based on the developer's comments elsewhere[0]. [0]: https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/software/general-li…

Firefox's implementation of "Copy link to highlight" isn't enabled on stable yet, but can be enabled manually. The ticket to enable it is here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bu…

For what it's worth, you can drag a tab onto your bookmark bar, at least in Firefox.

By the way, it looks like the MermaidJS implementation of the WiiU example is broken due to subgraphs not creating namespaces. That is, the `rom` node in the `amd` subgraph is over…

I'm just getting "invalid response." in a 500 response from the `anubis/api/pass-challenge` endpoint – weirdly, when I added breakpoints and stepped through the code myself, it wor…

You might be surprised at the CPU usage of rendering a GIF. I'm not sure why, but I've previously noticed Slack takes noticeably more CPU when there's an animated emoji on screen.

Surely those things entail reading books and talking to people.

Apple Music's library features much more closely mirror the iTunes style, i.e. you have a library you can browse outside of just the "liked songs" pseudo-playlist. For instance, in…

The "press again to fall back to the browser's key binding" solution many sites use for ^F isn't perfect, and won't work for all scenarios, but it definitely helps.

I believe account sync is among their higher priorities: https://blog.thunderbird.net/tag/thunderbird-sync/

This article mentions a notable limitation of the HSL colour model: > Perceived brightness is not at all uniform at equal starting points, it depends on the hue, as well as the sat…

I think your point is that bad PR affects your decision not to use Intuit's products, but I'd argue they're a perfect example of bad PR not being a problem. They have sensationally…

Is 1278 enough for you? They don't list every single bug in the release notes; that would be a full time job on its own. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?f1=cf_status_firef…

Sidebery's wiki describes[0] a method using a window "title preface" API, then using that preface in CSS selectors. https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery/wiki/Firefox-Styles-Snipp...

I know that OsmAnd has fairly granular routing preferences, including a "preferred terrain" setting with "hilly", "less hilly", and "flat" options (as well as a "use elevation data…

Common licenses specifically go out of their way not to imply such a contract. This is the start of the all-caps portion of the MIT License [0]: > THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”,…

Well, the previous Pro came out in 2019 (and the model before that 2013). Every four years is not unreasonable. https://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=A1...

There are a couple of ways they can try to detect devtools being opened. As the sibling comment implies, the most popular way is to detect a sudden viewport resize, and you can avo…

You're likely missing the Widevine DRM plugin. IIRC, many distros don't include it, or don't enable it by default.

I believe it's not possible for third-party developers to create their own items in Control Center. The widgets in Notification Center, though, can be third-party. Incidentally the…
