Not sure if you're aware of the Extended Support Release of FF but it seems better than staying on 56: Firefox 52 ESR will continue getting security patches up through June 2018.

Is WhatsApp really "omnipresent"? Maybe it's a regional thing. I know zero people that use it, or at least zero people that use it to talk to me. Everyone I know uses either Telegram or LINE or just plain old SMS. Stuff like

Thanks for the clarification, it's not at all obvious from the website. The actual target audience buying $600k core licences is probably aware of all of this anyway.

That code seems to be for an FPGA devkit for their SoC but using an entirely different CPU core, the Berkeley Rocket Chip. They're selling coreplex licenses for several hundred thousand dollars (not the one in the linked product page,

The RISC-V ISA is free (i.e. you can design your own core without paying royalties to a company like ARM, which is what SiFive has done here) but this is a normal paid-for IP core. They do have some SoCs with a "free and open platform

This is an IP core rather than an actual SoC so the pricing will obviously depend on what else gets packaged with it, but based on the core+caches area of 0.538mm^2 on 28nm it should be competitive with the Cortex A7/A53/A35. As s

It's the lowest possible effort custom design you could make. The only major difference between the three generations of Pi SoCs (BCM2835, 2836, 2837) is the CPU, so it's a 5 year old SoC designed for set top boxes with a single I

The problem with the US is that outside of a handful of the biggest cities, transit is extremely lacking and the roads aren't bike-friendly at all. It's very difficult to hold down a job without access to a car, especially low wag

What countries have developed electric infrastructure (or really, infrastructure in general) without the state being heavily involved? Not trying to be dismissive, I haven't seen anything about this and my quick attempts at googling do

Sintering metals requires far more powerful lasers than the the cheaper SLS models have, the cheapest models capable of sintering aluminum are much closer to the million dollar mark. The ultra-cheap-market-disrupting-startup Desktop Metal

FedEx's "contractors" conveniently get the worst of both worlds. They are treated exactly like employees except when it comes to pay/benefits. There have been multiple class action lawsuits over contractor misclassificat

I'm amazed they still get away with this after losing multiple class action lawsuits over it, but apparently losing the string of class action lawsuits over violating labor laws is cheaper than just following the labor laws or they wou

This is actually backwards: Electron was originally created for the Atom project and even used to be called Atom Shell.

How can you call any car newer than 2010 "incredibly reliable"? There's not nearly enough data on it. I would certainly expect a car less than 10 years old to be reliable, incredibly reliable to me implies at least 20 years

Ford is mostly okay these days, other than two of their most popular cars made in the past 5 years (2011-2016 Focus/Fiesta) having such horrible reliability issues that they're now paying out huge sums of money to a class action s

Gecko/Webview is a compile-time switch and both the F-Droid and Play Store builds use Webview. The iOS version is Webview-only or Apple wouldn't allow it on the App store.

There is a world of difference between firing somebody for being a Jew (which is rightly illegal) and firing somebody for going around and saying "I hate Jews". People get fired for being hostile to coworkers all the time and this

This ACLU document is talking about the government banning Nazi meetings, which is not remotely the same as the current situation. The modern Nazi 'martyrs' are people being banned from Twitter and fired from their jobs. They are

Unfortunately you don't see a whole lot of benchmarks of dev stuff on CPU review sites. Phoronix at least does Linux compile time. Not sure how representative that is of your "relatively hefty docker dev flow" but it shows th

A "GPU that doesn't suck at branching" is basically what the Xeon Phi is intended to be, with 72 AVX512-enabled Atom cores per chip. However it costs over $6000.

People keep saying that electric cars are inherently more reliable but Tesla has worse-than-average drivetrain reliability.

Also some not-very-low-end computers still ship with 4GB of soldered on RAM, like the $1000 model of the new Surface Pro or the €1399 model of the Matebook X.

Note that this is a wiki article, and that section in particular hasn't been updated in quite a while. Other parts of the article are talking about recent significant speedups in the OpenCL renderer so it makes me wonder how much they&
