That's a very good solution for accessing files remotely. However there are some environments where only a terminal and ssh client is available or useable (eg. Embedded devices). In addition sometimes you need to run things from the se

I remember reading somewhere that Bitcoin isn't really anonymous. I think it was fundamental to how it works to have all transactions public and on the network. Also, it seems like a bad idea to stash much of your wealth in a system is

It looks like Widevine is the new Flash Player. Big site's will support all the CDMs because they have the resources but everyone else will standardize on the one with the largest installed base (Widevine).

Yeah, I'd love someone to make a text editor that is: * simple and non-tedious to use by default, * can run via terminal and ssh, * supports vim themes, * full support for Language Server Protocol, ---* (Can work with clangd) * fast an

Lately I've been wishing there was a way to use Vim's plugins without having to use vim. But alas there is none. :(

They got kind of lucky too. Their main competition abandoned development of their browser for about 4 years. Now, there are four browsers in active development each regularly communicating with web developers. Given their pick it's obv

That's becuase of their declining marketshare (which is mostly due to strategic disadvantages in distribution channels and marketing budget) not their brand or split focus.

It's relatively low but it's not insignificant. It's still about 39%. Also 60% say its to avoid "intrusive ads".

What about blue light? I've been hearing about that being a problem lately.

I can't wait to see what Apple, Microsoft and Mozilla's response is going to be.

I seriously doubt ads could support production of that content either.

It's kind of crazy to hear that the first mainstream browser to have a built-in adblocker turned on by default is going to be Google Chrome.

I think it's important to scale back expectations for Servo. Given that Servo itself won't be ready to be used as a main engine for quite some time do to insufficient site compatibility. Project Quantum will use only pieces of Ser

Actually, the AOT optimization path for asm.js has been supported by Internet Explorer/Edge for quite some time. Chrome also supports AOT asm.js path now through their wasm implementation[1]. Before that Chrome and Safari did optimizat

I think at this point monoculture is inevitable. There are no new engines that aren't forks of existing engines aside from Servo which is still experimental. Aside from EdgeHTML all the major browser engines are open source. It takes

The desktop couldn't save them either. Remember their biggest source of funding and promotions came from Google. With Chrome out Google had no reason to promote Firefox anymore. So now Firefox has to look for more partners but there is

If they run out of funding many of those great things they are working on won't get the resources they need. The amount of funding they get is in direct correlation to how much market share they have in Firefox at the time they negotia

Servo won't be ready for quite some time. (I'm thinking maybe 5 years) Project Quantum might be out sooner but it won't be that big of a leap ahead of other browsers.

I'm pretty sure no one who uses Google or Facebook is presented with a dialog that says 'This service is free in exchange for your privacy. Do you agree?' Even if that were the case the fact that both of those services are mo

Because it's an invasion of privacy. If you have a personal conversation to a friend about a party you had when you were five you don't expect to hear details referenced by a busker the next day at a park you frequent. Edit: I was

Look. I don't want to be tracked, cataloged and tailored to without my permission. I don't care how accurate they are (in my experience not very much) it's invasive and creepy.

It doesn't seem to load right in my Nexus 6 Android Chrome 58. Only the bottom left of the canvas is showing the game the rest is a lite blue box. Edit: however it displays correctly in Firefox 53.0.2 (Android) on the same phone.

Yeah I didn't find out the cost of this thing until sometime after I'd commented. I guess if the tablet used leap motion like sensors for gestures that might work otherwise you'd have the issue of messy hands (common state wh
