FWIW, we also had early leaked builds of Vista and Win8, everyone complained about those, and precious little was changed between those early looks and the final release.

I'm lead dev on a rather large frontend project, and I still feel like I'd struggle in a frontend-focused interview today. Underappreciated by many I think is the ability to solve problems. I solve them (almost) every day, but som

That's really awesome! The fact that it has 9 instruments to select from in that layout really begs for some keyboard numpad support IMO :)

Great list. I use one that follows Material Design guidelines. It's called Material Design Palette Generator ( http://mcg.mbitson.com/ ), and the source is on GitHub ( https://github.com/mbitson/mcg )

Any chance of providing an RSS feed? The plaintext nature of the actual articles is delightful.

You underestimate the ability of Mozilla's leadership team to piss away money.

It certainly should be. Gen3+ reactors like the AP1000 are safe and reliable sources of carbon-free electricity.

I'm in a state that never had Fry's, but I was amazed when I finally got to visit one. Motherboards plugged in and on display , whaaat! All those PC parts I always thought you could order online were right there on the shelves at

As of now there have been few repercussions for turning the knob up on censorship. Power begets power, and we'll see whether or not it burns them in the end.

The thing I miss most in Firefox is the Smart Bookmarks feature they removed a while ago. Smart Bookmarks were fantastic. Add your favorite sites' RSS feeds to your bookmark toolbar and you'd have all the recent headlines from all

It's on by default. If I had a complaint about Brave, is that it's a bit "noisy" by default. I'd like more customization options on setup so that there's less customization I have to do once the browser is inst

Same boat. I've used Firefox in spite of countless boneheaded decisions by Mozilla leadership, because underneath all that mismanagement, the product was solid. They started trying to mimic Chrome rather than be their own browser, and

It's a statement in support of suppressing speech, and it's needlessly political. Mozilla leadership has mostly rested on their laurels (read: Google money) while Firefox consistently slid in market share. I've been a loyal

I've also tried twice over the last few years to switch full-time to Vivaldi. Once I loaded it up with my usual power user customizations, I would frequently notice UI lock-ups. Incredibly frustrating. With Mozilla's recent commen

I think and hope that this is just the beginning. We desperately need tech diversity in all sorts of verticals, and search and social media are at the top of the list, with AWS/Azure/GoogleCloud closely following. Jason Calacanis

Yes, it absolutely is censorship. And a massively coordinated effort at that.

Maybe GitHub should add an optional "Thanks" feedback channel, perhaps also include a place where users can submit success stories about their use of the given project. This could fill the role of a channel to express gratitude, a

Of course they are. No one should ever trust that a Google product or project will be around for the duration.

It's nice to see some actual good news involving Firefox. With all of the leadership and financial struggles lately, it's made me worry that the browser I've been using for the last 17 years doesn't have long to live. Ho

Blockchain is easy to criticize. Hell, I've done it plenty and I worked in the space full time for a good year and a half. But the problems that they're trying to solve, decentralization, censorship resistance, sound money, true d

Considering 3-4 years ago he referred to him as a traitor, I'd say the significant shift in stance is news. Should a pardon happen, this would set an important precedent for future whistleblowers and for the rule of law in the often ob

Fantastic idea. I'd be much more likely to donate to Mozilla if I could specifically allocate it to dev tools or MDN.

The reduced spending on dev tools makes me sad. Their efforts in the past, for example their unparalleled support for CSS grid, have set the standard for web developer tools. I hope they find a way to continue to innovate in this space.

For all it's flaws, and with the exception of a brief 18 month stint, I've been a dedicated Firefox user since 2004. I sincerely hope that this project finds its new groove and continues to provide a viable alternative to Chromium

This actually worked really well for me after a hell week and a presentation at the end. Often I get self conscious and freeze up at some point, but I was so wiped I just powered right through without a hitch. It was kinda weird.
