I just use Chrome everywhere (home, work, phone, tablet) and it syncs everything real well if you're signed in. I have a "to read" folder I dump stuff in to go through later.

Attempting another switch thanks to this post. Installed on desktop and all mobile devices, settings imported from Chrome, everything set up with Firefox Sync... we'll see how it goes.

I hear you, but can't agree fully. They showed a subset of their users negative posts to see if it negatively impacted their lives. As this could have been expected, they knowingly hurt their own users. I have lots of other reservati

Count me as one. Who can say if I'd have passed their interview process, but I was recruited by them and immediately said "no thanks", and told their recruiter I didn't like that they subjected their users to psychologic

They're powerful machines for sure. I just can't see myself buying a "desktop" machine that's non-upgradeable and has an integrated monitor. It's basically a big laptop.

Please excuse the venting here for a minute. After "can't innovate anymore my ass" Apple released their architectural dead-end trashcan Mac Pro in _2013_ we have to wait until _2019_ for an update? What am I supposed to buy?

I appreciate the DRY-ness of it, but that requires you to type 'up ...' which is longer :( A while ago when I was bored I was thinking of golfing those aliases to say (pseudocode): for i in 2..6: alias '.'*i=

It's ok, other powers at work here. The lady who I likely would be married to had I wanted children was into permaculture, so I take the unlikely turn of conversation as a little dig from Him. > Tell me more about that. Groaning at

Fwiw, I didn't mean to imply that my wish that people stop making more people was due to fears of overpopulation. (We have so much empty space left! And new technologies to discover, and so on.) Rather, it's based on my own desire

Upvoted you. People here tend to be intolerant of any religious opinion. Edit: I'm a believer and desperately don't want children. Dunno whether this is an inconsistency in my faith or just how I'm built. This whole thread is

Recent News 2013-12-23 Cobra 0.9.6 has been released. Maybe because this is Hacker "News" and Cobra hasn't had a release in 4-5 years is why it's not mentioned much.

ArangoDB is also a graph database. Many of the benchmarks (shortest path, neighbors, etc.) are specifically geared towards graph databases. Neo4j is totally appropriate in this comparison.

> This tool is the proof that Python has significant problems at scale... This does not prove your point. Annotating a large dynamically-typed codebase with type information is a large amount of work, regardless of the language. This too

So this is why "Agent" has been asking for my root password randomly recently? It doesn't need root to upgrade itself or its games so I had no idea what it was doing. I'm glad I kept denying it.

I noticed that too and was curious. A quick search doesn't say that's where it came from, but I agree it would be ironic. Maybe that planted a seed in someone's mind.

Seems promising. I'd be interested to know how this compares to something like RethinkDB for "realtime" (awful word we've settled on to describe changefeeds and such) apps.

It's gratifying to see how successfully the same organization has learned from the debacle that was the rewrite from Netscape 4 to Mozilla in the first place. That time, they didn't release for years, losing market share and cedin
