Google is probably never going to add the configuration option you want, since for 99.5% of users, the current behavior is what they want. You, as an advanced user, might be best served by something like this: https://userstyles.

Works for me, including in a private session (i.e. no cookies). I'm not sure what would be different between us. http://leon.barrettnexus.com/share/becausw.png

Why do they say JSON is faster than MessagePack and then link to a comparison for only Javascript? Most servers are not running Javascript, and most data goes its entire lifetime untouched by Javascript. There's some reason to believe

It's not just "having to think about floating-point"--it's that a number of other things break. Easy function memoization doesn't work with NaNs because NaN!=NaN, so the function arguments look different, so the sav

I agree. If search ever becomes less important (e.g. voice stuff like Siri takes over), then Google will struggle. Google management is intensely aware of that, which is why they're investing so heavily in voice search, wearables, etc.

I think the thing the author is missing is that there has never been one big culture. For a long time, the culture was segmented primarily by location: people in a region played the same sports and games, talked similarly, made the same mus

I have great respect for people who make things like the RED camera, which advances technology and allows people to make amazing films without requiring huge amounts of money. I have very little respect for people who make things like Oakle
