As I understand it, English is your mother tongue. If so, that's probably why you don't have this issue. For me, French is my mother tongue and I live in France. So, there's lots of things that I'd want to research that

While that would also be a somewhat useful measure in this context, there's very little correlation between the size of the codebase and the size of the binary. Programming languages and styles can vary in verbosity a lot. For example,

Filtering RSS depends on your RSS client. On the desktop, QuiteRSS [1] is really good at it. On Android, SpaRSS [2] isn't entirely terrible at it, though there might be better ones out there (I've essentially only looked on F-Droi

This is a notion that sounds great at first, but it's entirely shallow. - There are tons of information pieces that functionally need to be private, for example passwords, and tons of information pieces that better just should be kept

Well, you can just as well be best friends, even if you're wanting to mold each other. Both parties just have to be open-minded about it. You might even see it as positive to be challenged in your ways, as it helps you to move yourself

Alright, but it really doesn't seem to me like fixing this issue for you would require breaking the search for bilingual people. There's gotta be so many better ways to resolve that.

Yeah, it definitely feels like Google has gotten into this phase of a monopoly where you just stop trying. It was specifically Google that used to have all kinds of advanced user thingamabobs, now they actively make it harder on advanced us

The problem with X11 is that it's everything-and-the-kitchen-sink. You can't solve that by making another everything-and-the-kitchen-sink. You need to cut down in some places and modularize the other things. One perfectly legitima

Last weekend, my dad needed new printer cartridges and so we went sifting through the internet for different offerings. By chance, we got onto a page on the manufacturer's website, which had images of all their cartridge packs. Among t

That's not the point they're making. What they mean is that if they consider side projects as potential criteria for being hired or not, they'll lose the fun in those side projects. Because they'll then try to make every

Nah, it's been on Mozilla's To-Do list for years already, just realistically not ever really a priority. And I'm also pretty sure they've already been actively working on the implementation prior to talks with those comp

Well, Firefox is not Chrome. Firefox usually supports things more completely than Chrome, partially because that's just what they do, they safeguard webstandards, so delivering a standards-compliant browser is a main-goal, but in large

The reasoning is that this is a brand-new feature that just landed in the Alpha release of the browser and they're just not done yet with every secondary implementation aspect. Manishearth, who's a Mozilla dev, commented in anothe

I also find that my brain wrongly pattern-matches words that form a different word when reading the letters in reverse. So, I for example often misread "was" as "saw" or "on" as "no".

In our system, it becomes challenging to find the start of the next line when reading long lines of text. This is pretty much the main reason why sheets of paper or modern webpages are only as wide as they are.

I don't think this sort of bottom-up approach will make you happy, though. You never know what kind of technology you need tomorrow and whether your Chromebook allows you then to handle that. And fixing that then is not possible, not w

Uploading files would become a chore, as you'd always have to copy them over from your actual Home-directory to that Firefox-user's, but yeah, it would add another thick layer that attackers would have to get through. Mind that Fi

You're describing a sandbox. You run the security-vulnerable routine inside a separate process and give this process the most minimal read/write-permissions that the routine can still work with. Flash itself has been sandboxed ins

This isn't exactly a bugfix. It was a feature request and one that conflicted with another feature (Shift+Mousewheel to go back and forth in browsing history; has now been moved to Alt+Mousewheel).

Open-source projects tend to stay below 1.0 much longer than commercial projects, because there's no rush to release a "1.0". If your software works well enough, people will be using it, no matter what the version number is.

Probably a case of having engulfed the industry so much that just throwing money into the industry will actually pay out for them in the long run. And it's probably also just nice to be able to bite Google and Microsoft in the butt her

As far as I understand it, you need tight coupling between the browser and the OS to implement the sort of deep-reaching DRM that Netflix/Hollywood wants for 1080p. That would explain why Edge on Windows and Chrome on ChromeOS can do i

If I have to use Windows, I can't do it either. But give me virtual desktops, a tiling window manager and (sensibly laid out) keyboard shortcuts for everything, then I'll often even forget to use my second monitor.

Microsoft is a for-profit company. They build up reputation to use it. They have no reason to just amass it. When they open-source software that is specifically to try to get the dev/tech community somewhat back onto their side. Which
