I thought the reasons that they lost market share was that they started cloning the chrome interface stripping out usable features (i.e. status bar) at the expense of fixing memory and performance issues. I stopped using Firefox when they

Sorry, I knew you were being sarcastic. I responded because I wanted to pre-empt potential down voters. I agree with what you said above. Most people who bleat about safe spaces are the kind you need a safe space to get away from them.

We use to live in fear of tyranny of the majority. The internet is so large that it can magnify extreme views of the minority, such that these views can rapidly have such large impact on people. This happens on twitter where someone says s

I'm sick of all this drama that people create around this bullshit around wrongthink and the like. Didn't they ever learn as kids sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me? Surely, in OSS tons of people

Sigh. We went through this 70 years ago with literal nazis, are we going to have to live through it again, this time from the far left? Didn't they learn this poem in school? "First they came for the Socialists, and I did not sp

That is a blatant lie. Gizmodo explicitly stated that they stripped references and diagrams: "Two charts and several hyperlinks are also omitted." [1] [1] https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2017/08/exclusive-her

What is the proof for this 'systemic' discrimination favouring white men? Asians people are over-represented in Silicon Valley, yet I don't hear anyone demanding we hire less Asian people.

The Australian Government has asked tech companies to support them getting legal access to devices, specifically the Prime Minister called out for the ability to get plaintext versions of WhatsApp, Telegram and iMessages. These are arguabl

We've already gone down those paths. Societal expectations and legal precedent have been building for this since the 1880s where registers of telegram metadata were kept. I don't understand why everyone is so naive with respect

CommBank is probably a bad example, as they do all sorts of crazy things. In some areas, Infrastructure is outsourced to HP, Application management is shared between internal staff and consultancies. In others, its all in-house, and in ot

We should absolutely not rename the profession. All it does it put it the title on the euphemism treadmill[1]. Instead we should look to break down sterotypes through positive role models and portrayal in the media. [1] http://
