There is no data! https://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.x... Good old time.

It split. The counter part is antimatter. And there’s more matter than antimatter. So it’s a similar question. Where does this asymmetry come from.

Because measurements confirm a homogeneous and isotopic universe. A spherical universe would imply a special point, the center, which would go against these cosmological principals…

That's something I was thinking a lot about back when I was working on Servo. Wasm + a protocol to talk to WebRender (expose display lists [0] to the wasm runtime). Some sort of "m…

Lot of people were saying that back then. But… the 3.6 -> 4.0 release was just such a pain. We spent more than a year trying to cram too many features in v4. Clearly feature-based …

The story of the Telegraph is mind blowing. It was such a revolution, it changed our world. I can't recommend that book enough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Victorian_Internet…

Hey :) I see you guys everywhere nowadays. Congrats, and happy to see you keep on doing amazing things!

I think it's some sort of a reference to the CMB.

And it's so simple. Very easy to fork and tweak the hell out of. I added a better fonts, a 3rd swipe gesture (from top) and some random little tweaks.

How does it compare to https://atuin.sh/ ?

Because I want my phone to be as basic as possible. No notifications, no icons, just plain text menu. Android can be configured to be so bare that my phone is just a black screen w…

Correct. I need a small phone that just do basic stuff. But sadly Signal and Spotify are what I consider basic.

I tried for years to use these type of phones. I need Signal… so it had to be an Android phone. I also need a good map app, and Spotify. I tried many of these phones, and they all …

Alright, you don't have to engage. I thought maybe I missed something before my time. For others and historians :) … some efforts were made I think around 2008 (by Brad L. and/or M…

I have a very difficult time parsing your words. I'm sorry. I'm just saying gecko was not embeddable and was never designed to be so. There has been some efforts, and all failed. A…

XULRunner was not Gecko embed. It was Gecko embedding stuff. There was never a proper embeddable gecko. There has been an attempt for a gtk widget, but it never matured.

In the case of Thunderbird and seamonkey, Gecko was not embedded, but was the "embedder". For a short time, there was some attempts (native cocoa and gtk widget) to embed gecko, bu…

> Gecko was originally conceived to be embeddable by design Which part? And… what do you mean by embeddable in that context?

I was part of Mozilla back then. I think we were already talking about making Gecko embeddable in __2003__. But then… looot of things happened, other priorities, competition, bad d…

> Is there an explanation of the shape Some pencils have this particular flat shape to prevent them from rolling (artists and workers sometimes use inclined desks / surfaces).

His potential clues of CCC (the cyclic universe) in the CMB turned out to be incorrect. So as of now, this theory is not supported by anything.

> My personal hope is they push hard on the modularity angle It is strongly designed that way (the component model and the embed layer).

If you consider the observable universe as the upper limit and the plank length as the lower limit, we're much closer to the observable universe (10^-35 meters -> 10^27). One could…

Incredible book. In french it's Les Trous Noirs Et L'Oncle Albert. I read that book when I was ~14 years old. I can't overstate how incredible that book was. Having a grasp of what…

It's just that they made it in Japan. No need to overthink it :)
