Thanks for clarifying both points, will try it out. Keep up the good work!

Start charging for privilege of driving / parking / owning a car and you can invest the money in better infrastructure. Not that it's a popular solution with the voters, but it is fiscally sound.

Well, you could always just use startpage.com (uses Google) or duckduckgo.com. It's not like Google is still ages ahead of the competition as it once was. I am not sure where the bug comes from but it would be much easier for Google to

What a great summary of extension installation process! I wonder why they never streamlined it and made at least a list of featured (curated / reviewed for security) extensions. That said, I still prefer Firefox to anything produced by

Am I correct in thinking that this approach could lead to new vulnerabilities? Since firejail is SUID, a bug in it could lead to execution of code in root context, while the original app would have run under user context only, right? Apart

IMHO it was actually quite easy to use and had very sensible abstractions, however it failed to look good anywhere. SWT was much better in this regard (but much less fun to use).

I'm curious: is font rendering speed something that regular user would notice in his day to day use? Maybe in battery life? Or is this important just for some specialized (designers'?) use? I do hope this project gains traction, t

That's cool, thanks for providing this - will surely use it for future projects. Sidenote: it doesn't look like the sort of app which would be heavy on hosting - why large amount spent?

A bit off topic: did you really use Prolog for something else than just research? That is, did you write software that was used in production? I have learned it many years ago but always had a nagging feeling that it is better to use a &quo

Yeah, dark pattern of UX all over again. Seriously, how about "never send any data to Google unless I explicitly requested it"? I guess that is not in their short-term interest though. Yeah, don't do evil unless you can... :(

Thanks for the explanation. I guess I never even looked at the names of these callbacks because I just followed the app lifecycle diagram - yeah, I agree, the names could be much better.

Bounty somewhat alleviates this problem, but only partially... Maybe there should be an option to "tip" good answers, where (part of) the tip would be taken from your own score?

What is interesting to me is how good their "are any of these questions similar to yours?" suggestions are. When searching fails, I usually start asking a question - often just to find a solution without posting it. And if not, I

Nice tool, is there something similar (in terms of UX) for Linux? For browser I usually use Noscript... Not the same because it only blocks JS files though.

Are you stating that that's the way it is (because I think parent knows that already) or that it's OK this way? Cause it's not.
