A few weeks ago. Performance of Chrome is consistent: always snappy. Firefox on the other hand will turn laggy from time to time, especially when opening or closing tabs, when it s…

They made the same mistake IE made: around Firefox 3, they allowed their browser to become terribly slow, and so Chrome ate their lunch. Because let's be honest, Chrome was and sti…

I also blame the Mozilla Corporation for that: including WebKit in your software is a piece of cake. So that's what the default browsers of GNOME/KDE/etc do. Gecko not so much (in …

You better arrange for your suicide, because it seems inevitable. The terrible mismanagement of the Mozilla Corporation is to blame.

Isn't that what they already do?

While real problems are largely ignored, stupid stuff like this takes up all the airtime and moves a sizable amount of votes. Democracy is just a way of keeping the masses docile.

Having a monopoly is not illegal. Using your monopoly to do things you can't do if you're not a monopoly can be illegal depending on the circumstances.

>With everything that is going on with open source licensing What exactly is going on with open source licencing? Is anybody violating open source licences?

If you were the author of a GPL piece of code whose licence was violated, and the EFF came to you and said "we'll pay for the lawyers and in exchange we get publicity", most people…

Sending a curl to an endpoint from the client is not push but pull. The idea of push notifications is that they arrive immediately.

You can configure it locally in your kernel, but your ISP will most likely close your connections for you, especially if you're behind a CGNAT.

So that's why so many companies say they use Python? So their competitors become stupidly slow?

I mean, if you want to say something as controversial as that, and you decide to wait until more people say it first, you may have to wait a lifetime. (Once again, I haven't looked…

On one hand, in this political climate it's really stupid to say something like that. On the other, someone has to be the first person to say it. (Not that I necessarily agree with…

Maybe in the rich countries of the EU.

It's not only about being closed source. They are also not in the EU, and they are a for-profit (an Aktiengesellschaft). The only reason I don't use them is because to get the full…

That reminds me of myself. I remember when I moved from screen to tmux and the default "master" key changed from ^A to ^B. All the time lost changing it back to ^A in .tmux.conf. I…

>Yup, they do. Most of the Google engineers I know who live in the Mission have been mugged or had their car/house broken into at least once. You just learn to not carry a lot of m…
