Only if you don't login and follow the niches that interest you and things that you don't know about. A very good example for me was /r/WritingPrompts because after I wrote a long comment somebody directed me to it and I

REDDIT: Reddit's /r/diy got me to learn a lot about electronics. The extremely detailed guides which led to something that could ACTUALLY BE USEFUL was a very good motivator. /r/StopDrinking was also a lot of help f

Why isn't it being added to POSIX? What does it take to get something added to POSIX?

The better way would be for a service that installed an extension that tracks number of visits to distinct URLs on a site you tell the extension to track. At the end of the month, it uses a multiplier with the number of visits to either: 1.

Instead of crying about it, WE can add suggested APIs to be included in the WebExtensions extension Firefox is using. They recently added the Sidebar API which allows a form for vertical tabs but nobody has implemented trees yet.

Yes. Because the Thunderbird and Firefox codebases are diverging so much that instead of just maintaining Thudnebird people will have to maintain a fork of Gecko too.

AJAX, bi-directional text, most conformant CSS 2.0 browser, border-box sizing CSS model are all things where IE was ahead of the times. The reason people hated IE was because it implemented only "just enough" to get ahead and then

Firefox is a lot older so obviously the issues are also a lot older. You can find the oldest unfixed bugs for Chromium here ( https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?can=2&q=&so... ). A lot of

I learnt git when I started college and then discovered Mercurial when I started contributing to Firefox. It was painful at first but after some really good reading of the Mozilla Version Control Tools docs and the Hg Tutorial by Joel Spols

How is that a bug when they say that's what the spec says. Also, both Edge and WebKit are going to adopt that behaviour since it makes sense. I think there's one more reason people see less of Firefox. I know a LOT of people who h

I've seen things go the other way around. As an example, use Chrome Canary to browse https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/its-like-tweeting... and then use Firefox Nightly. Chrome can barely manage to k

Thunderbird already uses a lot of JS. The only difference I think is that Thunderbird works on the XUL instead of the HTML DOM.

You may be saying it in jest but I've seen it to be true (sample size of 1). I am a recently graduating (this summer) CS undergrad from India and was offered the chance to interview for a customer service offering company (think Zendes

Reminds me of https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23289157/how-to-use-hard... . The entire Linux graphics stack is fragmented and makes things worse for both users and developers.

You can easily force enable it. But the stability varies wildly with hardware. My iGPU works good, my NVIDIA 920m works good but the old AMD 5750HD causes crashes. Go to about:config and set: layers.acceleration.force-enabled to true. BUG R

I think it could be some issue with hardware acceleration then? The link is a bit old so I don't know if things are still the same, but I used this long ago. http://www.webupd8.org/2014/01/enable-hardware-acce

It's a chicken and egg problem too. As the comment above referring to Apple having issues with SMBv2 and v3, they can't do anything but use SMBv1. It's sad really.

Hey, have you used Powertop's --auto-tune flag? Is there any way you know of to selectively enable flags. I don't like that my disks spin up and park too frequently because I have some spinning disks too.

by hashhar 10y ago
No sysadmin should be using SMBv1 in the first place though. I agree completely with your first paragraph though and it seems like a likely situation.

I don't know. I'm confused as is. I really hate when people break: 1. Conventional units. 2. Don't follow the XDG basedir spec for config files. 3. Make inconsistent command line flags. 4. Don't allow control of color ou

I once set up a schedule where I would open the gitconfig manpage and read at least one section of the settings. My gitconfig file growed to over 200 lines then. Quite a lot of stuff isn't very helpful in there though.

by hashhar 10y ago
Add this to gitconfig file. It will automatically run the correct command after displaying what it is after a delay. The value is in 0.1s (centiseconds) of seconds. So 20 means 2 seconds. [help] autocorrect = 20 OR run git config --global h

I agree. I am on a lot of blog's mailing lists. I follow them for a month and see where it goes. The key is keeping your mails short (or extremely attention retentive) and relevant. Pocket's ( https://getpocket.com ) mai

I don't understand why growth is measured as a percentage? Obviously the growth rate for Facebook can NEVER be greater than the growth rate of the population of people born into households with internet. And that can be nowhere near 20

Firefox warns on keyboard controls and allows overriding site mouse behaviour by using Shift+right click.

That's a rabbit hole I'll be digging up now. It was quite interesting. There should be a dedicated website for such obscure things. Reddit helps but doesn't cover a lot of ground.

I'm amazed. What browser do you use? Firefox is flying by really well (that too on a Core i3 5th gen + NVIDIA 920m with 8GB RAM). This sounds nuts.

I agree. I got into the practice after I picked up F#. I used to create simple solutions in the interactive REPL as mainly proof of concepts. Once I had the basics down, I sat down and wrote a list of possible edge cases, expected user inpu
