Here ( https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/29/skyscr... ) is a good article that explains it well. Plus, I don’t think housing should really be left to the free market. This is the UK after

Have you never been to old European cities? They’re beautiful and dense. Hell, even London has many parts that are dense compared to US cities yet are beautifully old and green (like Hampstead and Highgate!). At the end of it, we live in a

I’d say the UK (especially London) has a housing pricing crisis more than anything. And I hate how development in London is fracturing communities. If anyone is onterested: You can concrete over the entire length and breadth of the UK and h

I'll happily give my views as a tourist. I've just come back from a CA road-trip and the homelessness I saw was absolutely devastating. For some background, I'm from London. We have homeless here, but it's different. I&#

London is different. Unless they work at an awkward position where they’d have to travel into central then out again to get to work, driving is usually never quicker. And the schools they attend tend to be in a catchment area, meaning they’

I managed to get the security patches out from ESR the same time, I don’t think I do too badly on that front. Not always easy though!

Java NPAPI is still maintained AFAIK, but not sure for how much longer. And a few of my friends say that they have Waterfox deployed company wide because of NPAPI support, which means they don't have to still use an out-dated browser w

Sorry maybe I worded it badly? But I thought the context of the sentence made it clear that Waterfox itself does not collect any telemetry or usage information. This sentence has nothing to do with websites themselves. I'll try and mak

If you're competing with the the whole world - sure. But I have a personal belief property is one of the things that shouldn't be so freely purchasable. Want to buy and own a property in the UK? Fine, be a UK citizen then. Look at

I'm not convinced London has a housing shortage. Or the UK for that matter. The problem is that anyone can buy a house in the UK and they've become investment vehicles. Also consider London has just reached its pre-WW2 population,

I'd like to see it more as a stepping stone for when Mozilla extend their API/we implement similar ones that keep a lot of the old functionality found in the low-level APIs. I've mentioned to the users already it would be unf

Huh, didn't expect to see this on here again! Just before I continue I'd like everyone to know I have complete respect for Mozilla and everything they have achieved with Firefox in v57! It really is awesome and a testament to thei

I do apologise about that, now that I'm two revisions behind performance isn't going to keep up with the latest versions of Firefox. Hopefully Intel will release an update to ICL soon so I can catch up :-)

ICL creates huge libraries, especially with all the flags I use (-O3 -no-prec-div -Qparallel -arch:SSE3 -QaxCORE-AVX2,CORE-AVX-I,AVX,SSE4.2,SSE4.1,SSSE3). XUL generated like this is about 150MB (and for comparison offical Firefox XUL DLL is
