This is neat! I like that it's responsive and provides a good variety of features along with auth pages. Will try and use this in my new project. Some feedback: * The envelope and bell icons at the top don't look great on a retina

Personally I've found the recent Nightly with the new Rust CSS engine to be pretty snappy. I'd say anecdotally faster than Chrome. There was also a recent post regarding having large numbers of tabs open in Firefox (see https:&#x

I'll preface this by saing: I'm not a Mac user and am unlikely to ever use this or any other tools built for macOS. But, it's really great to see work being done on an intuitive native interface for this sort of thing. Major

Seems hugely overpriced (but then I think the same about most US cell phone services - Fi is a total ripoff IMO, almost £8 per GB is ridiculous). Three (in the UK) offer unlimited for £24/mo.

This is pretty cool, it's one of the rare applications I've used where the things I've tried "just work". For example "10 kg to g", "c", "c to km s^(-1)", "c to km/s" all

Unhappy to say I had almost the same reaction. I was sad when they did the same with the debugger - suddenly searching through files was unusably slow.

That's really cool, thanks for those links. You've given me something to look into for the next side project!

You raise some really interesting points, and it's something I've never really considered befoer. I'm curious as to how you think it should work, though - a universal non-commercial license that people can use personally? Do

I guess the modern part here is the use of the Origin header, but in all honestly this feels really flaky in comparison to using a CSRF token. I'd argue that SameSite cookies are a better 'modern' alternative than this (for a

Damn, too bad they don't accept .ac.uk addresses :( I feel like there should be a standardised way to ensure users are students/affiliated with an educational institution (maybe an international federation on top of SAML a la the

That's a very good point! I can't say I've ever roasted my own coffee, so it's something I've not experienced in person. I hear you can buy green beans and roast them with a popcorn machine though, which sounds kind

Got to admit I was hoping it'd be a coffee-ish colour before I sorta parsed the colour in my head and realised it was mostly green. With that said there are some pretty cool ones (e.g. 5afe57 = safest = a green) that do match up. Can&#

I've happily used Firefox for over a decade now (since version 2.0). The web's changed a little since then, but I think Firefox has adapted well and has been the source of a lot of innovation. I've tried Chrome and other brow

Any advice on what steps to take when the legacy codebase is incredibly difficult to test? I completely agree with the sentiment that scoping the existing functionality and writing a comprehensive test suite is important - but how should yo

I'd disagree on this. Is it important for the university to cover the theory (algorithms, compiler design/automata/languages/parsing, logic, discrete mathematics etc)? Absolutely. Does that mean there isn't space fo

From personal experience, GitHub Desktop is great for teaching people new to Git about how it works /prior/ to them being comfortable with Git on the command line. It's not something I'd use on a daily basis, but it does

Yeah, it's a "fad" that I hope ends reasonably soon. I guess a lot of businesses just care moreso that using Electron reduces costs and the user experience and performance isn't a priority.
