   I am curious about this, since I assumed that Google would have put in quite a bit of effort to make sure that Hangouts is competitive in terms of bandwidth usage across platforms. Do you have any performance figures? And a harder question

   Unrelated to the post, but another illustration of a great open source book effort is the Stacks Project on algebraic geometry and algebraic stacks: http://stacks.math.columbia.edu/ .

   I agree with the point regarding C++'s spec, but don't fully buy the point about C's spec. C's spec is surprisingly succinct. C code written to spec is not harder to think about than any other language I have worked with

   I was referring to all usage of Rust by clients across the world versus a single compiler and reference standard library. Many of these clients will need "unsafe" blocks, and the combined length of these "unsafe" blocks

   Thanks for the illuminating link. Nevertheless, I unfortunately do not see an easy solution in the near future that avoids C/C++ much as I would love to ditch them. Let us leave aside the question of legacy code and focus on future sys

   Information regarding a lot of the configuration options for this purpose is scattered across the web. To get some idea for what settings are useful for privacy and security in Firefox, I have found https://github.com/pyllyu

   I agree with the general idea that contributing to these projects is good. However, the link is slightly misleading: "GNU programs are used billions of time every day all over the world. However, the intellectual property owners, the F

    True. However what I have found in general is that I have been spending more and more time tweaking and fiddling Firefox to make it work the way I want it to, i.e similar to the way it was in the past with no Pocket for instance. It is real

    It is true that ffmpeg can't do this directly. However, the ffmpeg project ships with a command line ffplay utility that is a very capable command line interface media player. This uses the libav* libraries of ffmpeg for its work. On a
