And Rust has the `sync` crate which has a variety of concurrency mechanisms and primitives: http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/sync/index.html No STM of course, but RWArc allows for multiple writers, or y

This also highlights why Firefox's addon system is in some ways superior to Chrome's extensions - this would be impossible in Chrome.

I realize I can do some digging. I was just hoping for pointers to make that process easier and more fruitful - otherwise I will probably not bother myself to be honest. I imagined you would have something more relevant to share about this

Eventually we'll just jack our devices directly into our visual cortex instead of bothering with all the issues screens+optics brings. Then it won't matter that it's VR, given high-fidelity, accurate input. Current VR systems

I found it useful. Makes me more likely to click the actual link when I can see what it might be (an image in this case). Seeing the real domain and path is also nice. I gotta say, "homage to the guy who produced their best beats"

It isn't a sales pitch. I read it as such myself, but it looks like it's just a verbatim excerpt - ".. in this book .. " can be taken as both a pitch, and a section from an introductory chapter in the book. An unfortunat

It's just referring to the futility of the eye protection (mentioned just before) against all that water.

According to this, you're the one who's making it worse for women: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7121942 I found that pretty amusing, and aligns with my expectations.

It's blocking tracking scripts/pixels/etc. If a site's JS happens to rely on some external tracker having been loaded, it can break the site. I think that's what's usually happening here. Moral of the story: do

I've noticed many sites that have failed load a video or something similar due to Ghostery, but it has been happening much less after the last major update. It's usually not as drastic as stripping all CSS of course, just breakage

by ehsanu1 13y ago
No, that's due to Ghostery. Recognized it as soon as I saw your image. Ghostery breaks lots of sites, even those it isn't explicitly blocking.

You can't really tell either way. The road to NEXT and Pixar was through Apple. And I do hear his role in Pixar is often portrayed as being much more than it really was.

No audio track on that link due to some copyright claim... Ugh.

I thought specifying a fallback font does that. Of course, problem is that many websites try to avoid the dreaded FOUT, and end up hiding text, or even the whole site, until fonts are loaded.

It does make sense if you think about it. In the "grey" version, you perceive it as grey since it looks like there is a transparent yellow layer, and based on the surrounding, it looks like the element itself is just grey rather t

It's JS, check the gist. The race condition is with image loading. I don't think CSS has race conditions, but someone please prove me wrong here :)

Memory leaks waxed and waned as development focus changed. I remember Firefox's memory usage being quite decent around version 2, and even into 3. Later, some things got bloated, though a large part of the memory problem was due to mis

by ehsanu1 13y ago
That's really cool! And yeah, doesn't scale as you said, so I still don't see how we can go GC-less for everything.

by ehsanu1 13y ago
`it only took Mozilla 2 decades to get Firefox to not leak memory like a sieve` I'm sure you're aware that this is quite an unfair/exaggerated statement to make. But yes, I'm all in favor of language features that help p

by ehsanu1 13y ago
While you're right for probably most classes of application, this is not an absolute truth. There are reasons not to use the GC - eg you're developing a browser, or a GC for a language, and many besides. I see a similar thread whe

My understanding was that `box` would be for allocation, but type definitions still need to have the ~ sigil. But I could be mistaken.

I'd call unity more tweakable in that you can get rid of it entirely and replace it with something else. When I was on Ubuntu, I used XMonad, configured to my liking, and no desktop environment. It was great, and better than my experie
