It's a bit sad that Firefox is caving in and shipping a browser using WKWebView. The rationale is that by using WKWebView they now get Nitro, and they have to "go where the users are" -- but a few years ago, it was a lot less

Probably because the pixel scaling method requires much less works by developers.

OS X has the best highdpi implementation at the moment, and use the pixel scaling approach. It seems to work well there.

Interesting, Google announced working on this on this year's I/O and posted the first apps just one week ago ( http://chrome.blogspot.com/2014/09/first-set-of-android-apps... ).

It's a nice quiz, but many of these problems are found by regular compilers (clang, anyway).

Keep in mind that it's resampling a 3x image. Display scaling already looks acceptable on retina MacBook Pros [1], and the 6+'s screen is much more high-resolution than that. I agree that this sounds like a terrible idea on paper,

This is looking really nice. The "No Image" images on http://www.paintcodeapp.com/content/news/2014-09-11_iphone-6... look unintentional, though. Edit: The 1x version looks fine: http://www.pa

They probably use https://developer.apple.com/streaming/ , an HTTP streaming mechanism that's implemented by Safari that didn't get adopted by any other browser.

I kind of hope that Mark Pilgrim (of diveintomark.com fame of days past) now complains that this dilutes his brand.

This runs surprisingly well in chrome/android.

It's a scary thought that this probably has been going on mostly undetected for over a decade before Chrome added cert pinning.

Vim has seen active development for over 20 years and is available almost anywhere due to this. Reimplementations are announced every now and then but usually fizzle out after a few years. We'll see how long neovim stays around. (And t

The EU's right to be forgotten says that you can ask search engines to remove search results about you. It has nothing to do with government surveillance.

I wonder how happy Apple is about a CEO from a partner company effectively pre-announcing their efforts here. Sure, it wasn't secret, but it was also not covered by the press before.

MacVim uses the same model: Every MacVim window talks to one vim process behind the scenes. It seems to work very well in practice.

^X^E goes well with ^R: it opens the current line in $EDITOR, so you can find a recent long command and then easily tweak it.
