They should've released ESR just before the first Quantum release. Who's going to downgrade their browser 4 versions back? I'd rather switch to Waterfox or Pale Moon or whatever. I don't use Pentadactyl myself, I probabl

And Firefox 56 is even more powerful! It can even support add-ons like Tab Groups and Pentadactyl. There's even an addon to disable Ctrl-Q shortcut on Linux so that you can't accidentally close the entire browser.

Been near there just like a week ago (Tomioka town). Opened up for resettlement this year. Lots of damage from tsunami, but new buildings are being constructed and there are several functioning hotels and convenience stores. There's ma

Like the article says, even in capitalist countries with lively economy, public parks are free to enter. And this doesn't even have the scale to affect the economy in any way, as compared with stuff like free healthcare. The Soviet eco

Actually, "emoji" is 絵[e] (picture) + 文字[moji] (character). A lot of them do not represent emotions, but just random pictograms. In my opinion while encoding pictures as text was a good idea at the time (due to limitations of mobi

These replies... How'd they feel if their accounts were banned by a random Twitter employee (a secret Trump supporter or something)? It's like these people have no self-reflection at all.

Ok, but how long did it take to find a polynomial algorithm for primality checking (published in 2002)? [1] And NP-complete problems are even harder than that! The history of mathematics is rife with conjectures that would be considered tru

When people were saying that Snapchat is toast after Facebook stole all their functionality, there was always that one person saying that Spectacles will save Snapchat. Which made no sense even back then. Also, before this article, I have n

In most fields of mathematics, it is not necessary to state that ZFC is assumed. Axiom of choice is singled out sometimes, but the other axioms are considered so self-evident that it's not even worth mentioning. Yet from a logical stan

Do you post this kind of comment for any hyperbolic statement, or only this one in particular? Because you can do it all day long. I'm pretty sure you understood perfectly well what my point is.

I'll tell you why. Nobody who isn't an ISIS member has ever been called an ISIS member. However the favorite tactic of American left lately has been calling anyone who they disagree with a Nazi. For example most people are probabl

Potential payoff for treating the single most common illness in the world is too small? I don't buy it. The first company to come up with the cure would be sitting on a goldmine.

I didn't realize they redesigned the main page. Even putting the colors aside, the font itself looks terrible, like if they have bugged CSS or something.

I also remember playing this! We also had an alternate version where you place your pen vertically at some point and then push down on it so that it slides in the desired direction. The end of the resulting ink trail is where you start your

Pen and paper games were quite widespread among Soviet/Russian math olympiad participiants, and sadly these games are practically unknown outside of these circles. Tochki (dots) is probably the most well known, and it even has a Wikipe

Poor response. Basically "we're not actually evil, just trust me". Why should it be a question of trust? A programming language that is controlled by one for-profit organization is an obviously bad idea. And the last paragrap

At least when I went there it wasn't very crowded. There was a group of people at the summit (with vending machine present, of course), but otherwise hardly any people. However it was a slightly foggy day, so you couldn't see much

I haven't looked into details, but the presentation looks pretty garish. I think the best thing about Dropbox is that you don't notice it. It just works. A garish, attention-grabbing logo is the exact opposite of what Dropbox shou

Russia does murder separatists in Chechnya and Dagestan literally every day. Clearly you aren't aware of that because nobody loudly condemns it.

It's too bad you're downvoted. Paint.NET's developer has been willing to infect people's computers with malware for years, and now he wants people to pay him. There are so many better options for image editing, like GIMP

Yes, this infuriates me about my city's (Moscow) bikeshare app. It would show you completely outdated state until you restart it with no way to refresh. Later they introduced electrobike option, and I discovered that if you switch to e

You're missing the fact that Twitter's engagement is way higher in East Asian countries and that's because they can pretty much use Twitter as a normal blog. On the other hand in the countries with very long words (like Hun
