You mention tab management. One of the main reasons I like Firefox is due to one, exemplary addon: Tab Mix Plus. It's the kind of tinker-y addon that lets you do almost anything that is typical for Firefox. With ad-blocking especially,

IMO it's also a little condescending to claim readers couldn't tell that this isn't about "robots trying to kill us". The creepy part, the reason the people who actually DO know their shit bothered to ever publish t

How do you filter "businesses" from individual users, small, non-commercial groups or anything else, really? Ask people to register their identity with the government and then double-check? Good luck!

IMO convoluted JavaScript hacks aren't the solution to "cross platform development" I'd want to settle on. Do I really want my weather app to be running on top of the browser app? And as far as cross-platform compatibili

I think the mental blockage is the main issue with dieting (what else should it be, really?). I've seen so many diets that try to be super smart and as a result complex. They are these "lifestyle" changes, comparable to becom

It's bizarre. What's also bizarre is that, apparently, it's the new thing to hate modern MacBooks not having physical buttons. I have absolutely _zero_ problems with that, never "accidentally" clicked anything in my

If it's proven true, though, would that mean the "expanding universe" theory would be disproved as well?

So I was reading the headline a little more literal and got cold shivers from imagining that IoT crap spreading to actual nuclear plants. Still scary as hell.

Correct: >Each file, formatted as a comma separated value (.csv), lists an internal, 32-character alphanumeric “RNC ID”—such as, for example, 530C2598-6EF4-4A56-9A7X-2FCA466FX2E2—used to uniquely identify every potential voter in the dat

Doesn't this kinda make many (flawed but still in use) "security measures" incredibly vulnerable to social engineering? That's all the birth dates and phone numbers. That's crazy!

I have two theories. On the one hand, it seems like people tend to be hopelessly bored with the "last decade" (people only started giving a shit about the 90s like 5 years ago). On the other, I find decades to have become more and

Interesting point but I'll hijack it to point out there's a 2016 McGuyver TV series and a 2010 A-Team movie.

I honestly thought that was the whole idea behind it. I think an app like this could be run for cheap, it's essentially a P2P messaging app.

I remember this giving me headaches years ago when I tried to save color data in a PNG with 0-alpha values that contain color. I needed the color and the alpha and thought it would make sense to save both in one image, basically, but nope.

Wow, you weren't kidding, lol. It's not even subtle or artsy. I guess even the coolest designers can't resist clicking a random image of boobs.

While I agree that it's funny (see Louis CK's cell phones and flying rant), it's IMO a weak argument when you think about it in earnest. This is a post about redesign, so we talk about the redesign. Also if you go further dow

Not being owned by a billion-dollar company interested in data mining? I also feel that the add-on library is still stronger, even if a lot of newer ones are sadly Chrome-only.

Only payment model that makes sense to me on the long run. Whichever company manages to conquer this space will make a fortune, this might replace a ton of advertising money.

Interesting game AI still doesn't look good. The "cinematic" approach is to replace all systematic stuff (with potentially stiff/unsolved in-between animations) with motion-captured, "realistic" looking sequenc
