original promise: Firefox for Android, like Chrome but with infinite extensions written by people just like you for people just like you new promise: Firefox for Android, underinve…

Followed instructions for 21.04 (distro = "hirsute"), greeted with complaint about binder missing. Found some bug report on the web suggesting I must rebuild my kernel to enable bi…

I'd much rather they relicensed early if they can, to set expectations and to ensure talented people actually get to sustain its development, rather than parasitic jobsworth FAANG …

You can do reasonable 1080p at 3Mbit with h.264, if these were live streams you could fit around 130k sessions on the machine. But this workload is prerecorded bulk data, I imagine…

Reproducing ancient defects from the CGI spec in the process, such as the inability to represent duplicate header names.

Is this open source?

Pulling their ads briefly from YouTube a few years back certainly achieved some good

Parent comment likely refers to kernel CPU time accounted for in the generating process. If an application passes an audio sample to PulseAudio, it is charged for (at most) a memor…

Unhindered access to the Internet for children means unlimited access by advertisers, politicians and advocacy groups to push literally whatever they want into the child's head, re…

Flat design is basically a form of elitism. In order to understand how and why the computer works, you must subscribe to a cathedral of thought that exists at this stage more or le…

They hilariously managed to roll out yet another UI revamp on top of the UI revamp that broke extensions without actually fixing extensions. Of course the revamp is worse, Windows …

This sounds really interesting, could you provide a bit more detail on the application? Mostly interested in: - was it over a LAN or WAN? - how were the latency improvements measur…

Elective infanticide of females is one of the most important drivers of sex inequality worldwide. That's not opinion, it is an extremely well documented fact. Skuhn appears to view…

The question was clear enough: per the article tmpfs is able to track two distinct files with the same inode number, implying it does not use the inode internally to differentiate …

Typescript was about bringing the culture of static languages to a language design that explicitly rejected it. Large JS codebases already existed in 2006 (Gmail, ..)

It's hard to reject anything when saying no is basically considered a microaggression nowadays

Death by a thousand features. Very happy to see all the tons of new library work over the years, but really detest pretty much all new syntax extensions, it's morphed JS into the v…

Yes, definitely. In the case of Lightroom, it is preserving your original input photo along with a list of edits and workflows you've applied to it. It also manages a database of p…

187k of very compressible strings, producing a small array in memory, in exchange for avoiding all the costs of a web service seems like an excellent trade off. 187k seemed quite e…

Cats have been eating grass to manage their digestion for much a much longer time than we've been keeping them as pets. Unless we understand the reason, we should not be interrupti…
