Nope. What would blow my mind is watching you engage in a non-passive aggressive manner with people. Let's see if you can!

Good question. And yet the fact remains that he did it. It's almost like people are fallible or something.

Thank you. Watching people on this site verbally fellate Chrome and Safari on the basis of incredibly trivial things like look and feel and "minimal UI", while ignoring the incredibly important things like the company building the

Exactly, Mozilla had power right up until the tech community sold out the future of the web in favor of sparkly things given to us by our benevolent corporate masters. Every time we installed Chrome for our parents because it was so minim

This is a sad day for the web, but it was honestly one that was inevitable, and one that we all had a hand in making. If you want to know why we have DRM in the web, step 1 is taking a look in the mirror. Mozilla does not represent a majori

Electric cars are actually a great idea to get off fossil fuels. Electricity is inherently "fungible" if you will. You can generate it anywhere you can rotate a commutator. Internal combustion engines rely on fossil fuels full st

Well it's not really the same. Firefox OS is literally the OS. Demanding that Chrome be allowed to run their C++ code would be like demanding that Google makes it so that Firefox OS can be installed on Android phones, replacing the A

Firefox OS takes the view that the system you are writing to is the browser. It is the OS you are running. From that world-view, writing a JIT would mean writing a compiler that outputs asm.js and then executing that outputted code. So

Hi Gary, thank you for the reply. Let me first assure you that I did read your article. I know it's just the word of some guy on the internet but a while back I got so fed up with dumb comments that I promised myself I would never comm

On the one hand this article does at least provide citations for some of the timelines involved. On the other hand it makes me throw my hands up when I see some of the examples provided. 100 lines of code to test 50 lines of code, which imp

Actually things generally only work that way when the whistleblower has evidence of the things they claim. For instance, if Edward Snowden had come forward with claims of pervasive global surveillance by the NSA he would have been written

We all bring our own perspectives and experience to our day to day lives and our perspectives, and so I make no bones here about the following being the fruits of my own perspective. Please keep that in mind as you read the following and ju

As a Canadian this strikes me as incredibly true. I'm at the point where I really don't watch that much regular season hockey anymore. The NHL keeps extending the season and trying to add more teams and it is just becoming tires

I use Minuum and have Swiftkey, although I have to say I never liked it as much as swype or the google keyboard. I used to use Fleksy full-time because it just seemed way more responsive that Swiftkey and the gesture typing is pretty aweso

This is a terrible comment and I want to explain why. It uses hyperbolic language in an aggressive manner far out of proportion to content of the comment it is replying to. Youtube comments are generally terrible. Stormfront comments are

Yes I meant the standard produced by TC39, of which Ecmascript 6 is the new version. My apologies for loose use of terminology. I would be somewhat happy if ES6 was finalized next month, but if it slipped (again) I would not be surprised.

I am excited by the prospects of flexbox, but disappointed by it as well. Maybe someone can correct me here, but when I started using flexbox it seemed to me like another case of the W3C being a day late and a dollar short. I mean, somethi
