OK, but you absolutely wouldn't let a self-driving car out without ernest human supervision or really rigorous testing would you?

Cars aren't killing people. Car drivers are killing people, usually because they are careless. Compare the language used when pedestrians are killed by cyclists.

No. Check the latest updates in the github thread. 1. We will release an update that we think is compatible with the AMO reviewers' demands. 2. You can just read the readme for the project on github for a non AMO but easy way to instal

Another fun thing to note is that because they have delisted the addon users may also struggle to work out what is going on, which really goes against the whole "let's update this critical security preference" thing. If they

To my knowledge, no. They said they were working on it ages ago when they introduced the commands API for webextensions, but I don't think it is high on their priority queue.

Hello, I am one of the founding contributors to Tridactyl. I think the three comments from this one[1] down summarise the overall issue well. [1]: https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/issues/1800#issuecomm..

You can have multiple versions of a program installed in linux. Most package managers won't help you very much with that, but it's about as easy as windows if the programs are interpreted or statically linked or compile easily wit

You can index rows in DataFrames in the same way you index rows in matrices: julia> df = DataFrame(x = 1:10, y=2:11) julia> df[1,:] DataFrameRow │ Row │ x │ y │ │ │ Int64 │ Int64 │ ├─────┼───────┼───────┤ │ 1 │ 1 │ 2

The devs in the thread are those with [member] in their name. Which might just be me and bovine3dom. None of the dev team believe that Mozilla are acting unconscionably. We believe roughly what I put in the post above. E: and sure, it is a

This is a misrepresentation of our argument. The very next sentences are: "I am happy to be corrected on this. If you have any specific explanations you would like me to provide to our users, I would be happy to pass them on." We

I am one of the developers of Tridactyl. This dispute is because Tridactyl used to provide a function that users could choose to run that would change two of Firefox's settings (the kind you find in about:config). Changing these settin

This is the documentation we provided: "To make Tridactyl work on addons.mozilla.org and some other Mozilla domains, you need to open about:config, run fixamo or add a new boolean privacy.resistFingerprinting.block_mozAddonManager with

Only extensions that have a native messenger can do this (which requires users to accept a scary sounding permission and install a separate application on their computer)

The arguments made by tridactyl developers to Mozilla are published in the linked thread. There is no need to speculate. We don't complain about walled gardens.

In our defence 1. that's a perfectly sensible comment to suggest that you should probably look it up on your own if you care about security. 2. The command did document exactly what it did in the same manner (or more detail) as the blo

Disclaimer: I am one of the authors of Tridactyl. We did actually set another firefox setting that means that webextensions cannot access the privileged JS environment on AMO (to my knowledge). We have invited Mozilla several times to provi

Good search is a huge engineering challenge and nowhere-near solved. Google's continued dominance is what makes their ad space valuable. If I were google, I would keep investing in improving search, and that would obviously include hir

This is hardly a full lifecycle assessment. The assertion is true only for cyclists eating a mad diet and only if: 1. Motorists really do eat less food than cyclists, controlling for other factors. 2. You only count transit-energy emissions

Escape will always exit fullscreen in browsers, which is a SAK that is well publicised. We aren't trained to press escape before entering passwords, though.

I have never seen a SAK-before-login notice on any linux machine. Only one institutional setting, I suppose.

Python lambdas cannot contain statements, only expressions. Typical python contains a lot of statements, so that's a bit annoying. You can define inner functions and so on, and most of the times that I want to use lambdas it's jus

The zotero main program is now a standalone thing, but there's a webextension that lets you add things to your library. Looking into it, it seems you can get a rudimentary experience with a bookmarklet/jseval: https://w

When I last tried, the adblocker wasn't as good as ublock. If I were to switch now, I would miss easy access to my passwords, referrer control, zotero, and RES (a bit, a userscript would do). Some of the adblock issue is possibly an en

Thanks for mentioning us, Florian. We're aiming to get Tridactyl to feature-equality with Vimium and Saka-Key by the end of this weekend. (We are runnable now, but it's not a fantastic UX) We hope to match or exceed the current We
