To jump on this, what is the scope of Servo anymore? It was originally supposed to eventually replace Gecko, but last I heard they had shifted to simply moving the more stable parts into Firefox with Quantum. What is the end goal of the pro

If that's really their justification, then I wish they would take the approach that Firefox does - show the full URL but have the domain name in white and the rest of the URL in a muted color. It provides the full information as well a

Correct, I believe they hold 5% in Activision Blizzard.

I had heard that Lua was adding const support, which I was excited for, but I hadn't seen the syntax until now. I don't care for it. I'm guessing this is due to ambiguity as to whether variables declared as const would be loc

This is quite a fun and interesting story. They don't have much to go on that working on this ring did inspire the One Ring story. I'm not much of a Tolkienologist, but I believe he kept diaries and notes, is there any hard proof

I get the impression that this guy is primarily out to sell his book, which he spends quite a bit of time talking about how great it is. As for the points he mentions, some are clearly false. > The amount of land we use for meat — humank

My first thought was that this sounds like a pulsar, and I was surprised to not see that among the list of possible phenomenon. After looking it up, I still wasn't quite sure why these couldn't be pulsars. Is it because the period

As a relative web novice, WebAssembly continues to be an incredibly promising tool that has a lot of potential, but remains obtuse on how to actually get a compiled .wasm binary to run properly in the browser. Most of the examples I've

The original Doom license is not a free open-source license, and is in fact fairly restrictive. However you are right, the game was re-licensed a few years later under GPL, making the game dual-licenses under GPL and the Doom License.

This is a great feature. I always added passwords to the browser auto-fill without thinking, and was shocked to find out that these are viewable to anyone without any password by default.

For those who aren't familiar with the author, Clyde "Tomato" Mandelin is one of the most well-known video game fan translators. He's probably most famous for being the lead for the Mother 3 fan translation, and last I h

OS X 10.7 is still my favorite default wallpaper. I was surprised to see the author didn't care for it. Given the minimal descriptions for 10.10+, I take it they care more for the abstract blue backgrounds of the earlier releases than

It's not ideal. I looked around on this server a few days ago, and almost always had to share a book with someone else who was flipping through pages. The server was limited to 100 users at a time, so it wasn't chaos, but I do thi

I went and looked around on the Minecraft map for a while. As a censorship bypassing tool, I think it leaves a little to be desired. The library has a main atrium discussing censorship levels in each country and how freedoms are being curta

There are books that can be placed on pedestals and read. Unless something has changed, the upload still requires manual entry, and according to the Minecraft wiki, you are limited to 12,800 characters (still quite a lot). As for reading, e

I'm torn in the middle, but I don't totally agree. I had never seen the 3DO version before now, but I really like how it evolves on the original layout. I think the artwork is really interesting and "other worldly" while

While I hope this is a step in the right direction, I'm not too wowed by this new policy. The term "good bot" is incredibly vague, and I wasn't able to find a much better definition within the policy change itself. The l

Is IRC really a failed endeavor? I would consider something to be a failure if it never took off the ground, instead we have a protocol that is over 30 years old being finally supplanted with newer technologies. There is no inherent reason

IRC is as simple as it gets for people who are familiar with IRC. New users expect certain UI features for chat apps anymore, and people able to connect via a browser without needing to worry about /commands is the way the world works

I'm of two minds of this. On the one hand, I think it's a visually appealing logo. I like the look of it and I think their designers have done well. On the other hand, it is pretty generic, and as a former Oklahoma resident, nothi
