It's just hard to manufacture gas in a efficient way. It's a really complex and hard to make molecule and the most abundant source of ingredients for it is the carbon in the ground. You can use atmospheric carbon but it's ve

Pipe dream, but Firefox could be installed by default on iOS devices and Apple could invest a lot of money into Mozilla as a partnership.

I develop with Firefox on the desktop, and for the vast majority of cases if you develop for Firefox on the desktop, Chrome just works perfectly fine, and most of the time the mobile browsers work as well. Safari (mobile), however, will be

Is picking a date that is more than 20 years old a very odd use case? I feel like that should be something the UI can handle by default fairly easily.

Yes, but Firefox focus is Safari. Chrome is safari. iPhones aren't allowed to have web browsers that aren't running Safari on the back end. They can have different names, different UIs, but at the end of the day it's the same

I mean, relative to having to support safari, yeah, as much as I hate to say it, it's preferable. Firefox is the browser I want to see be the competition.

I have heard they are improving in recent updates. I'm skeptical, very skeptical, but it's possible that Apple has heard all of this complaining and is trying to pivot to counter it.

HTML and CSS are built for web pages, which means they don't really have a strong concept of page size. If I want to build a table with headers that repeat on every page of a printed document, it's an absolute pain to do it with

If you work for a company that could be punished by China you should furiously work to get your company out of China so that they can't do this. Keep your comments in the boardroom, but whatever influence you have, you use.

Russia's success in taking Ukraine, and eventually big parts of the EU, was somewhat hinged on the idea that nato, and to a lesser extent the EU as a whole, could be broken up by doing things like threatening Germany with a cutoff of n
