I use mozilla nowadays on my low end laptop because chrome chokes on it most of the time (just plain hangs and stops working with more than 10 tabs which is all the time for me). FF 55 is much snappier with most of my important extensions a

Though I haven't used it, it seems to radically make firefox into something like Qutebrowser. Not just the key bindings but also the UI which is not possible under new api for Web extensions while Vimium and vimfx only give vim key bin

And also makes them look more complicated with more syntax. C++ has all those features that I will never know without adding performance. But people don't use Python for performance but ease of use. In C++ ease of use is given up for t

With things like typescript or mypy in python you fall the other way around with types in dynamic languages. You can do it if you really want (optional but recommended for large projects). So Python and typescript have a nice sweet spot bet

One shouldn't spend 2 minutes blocking elements in a page that you would read hardly 5 minutes. That's counter productive and annoying and should be automated. An extension helps in that.

Higher order functions maybe? Though python has them. Spread operator can be done as unpacking a list. Destructuring assignment can also be done. Map is already there while reduce is in functools stdlib. So are all the other functional st

It's just an echo chamber effect. People still use other languages for their daily stuff. It's just that people want to write their hobby projects and new small work stuff in go or rust. Would take some years for main stream adopt

You would have to extend it yourself which others do for me with plugins in vim or emacs.

If you put it like that you only have emacs left. Instead of an editor in a tmux pane you a shell in the editor. But Emacs is hardly lightweight. Compared to Atom though even something as heavy Spacemacs in emacs is much better.

Just use nano if you don't want its shortcuts or even emacs. You don't have to use any predefined shortcuts in emacs. Everything is reconfigurable. The main selling point of vim is its shortcuts and modal editing. If it is not for

Everywhere I see electron apps are being written. Just yesterday saw a file manager that looks like mc which can only display 100 files and no noise support in electron. Now this. I'm speechless.

Microsoft spends millions for backward compatibility and they charge a fortune for that. This is an open source project with not as much resources and the core protocol of X was never made for GUI. It was made for displaying a cute clock on

With a load of backwards compatibility for devices that don't make sense for a normal usage and patches for patches that were written fix bugs which were written to extend X. Better to start from scratch IMO.

So this means we really need Wayland. Hope that somebody puts a EOL like Flash on X. Only then will all those projects move to Wayland. Even Python 2 to 3 took well over a decade and we still haven't reached EOL.

Use tor to access the onion domain for scihub (they have one) if you don't already do so.

Less time wasted? I mean regardless of what I do, they will continue collect data about me. It is just a question of how much I personally contribute and how much they acquire from my friends. The real gain is you are less addicted to news

They should make sites incompatible with NoScript illegal. Back in my days (lol its just 10+ years) they used plain text for Web pages and used javascript like custom animation in presentations. Now only javascript is there with some html s

Best of luck trying to scale git. Microsoft took 3 years and they didn't add Office and Windows to it. And they nearly rewrote their own version of git.

You would have to give up all the dynamic convienience we take for granted. Menus would be just links. Basically you would have HN like sites for the small ones and the big ones would have images. That's it. On second thought that woul

If you are just using bash for everything why don't you just use a tty instead. Jokes aside, Isn't linux a better idea if Bash is all you need? The only difference is that Mac has more proprietary stuff that don't support lin

Somehow the author assumes that the native gui has better accessibility features. In a world of bloated frameworks and browser as a gui type apps not every app is accessible. Most of the time it isn't even on their radar because of the
