I love the idea of this but I have no reason to trust the browser. Just installed it to give it a test run. Tabbed to the history tab and it is showing files and locations I've accessed outside of the browser prior to installation. Add

Video and concept are really amazingly done. I still cringe everytime someone uses doge speak, but the video otherwise was brilliant.

I wonder if we're making out CSS to be harder than it is. Yes, there are difficulties and common problems in practice, but news tool and approaches introduce their own. The biggest of these: overhead in the form of tooling, performance

There have been studies with over 5-sigma confidence intervals that are not taken seriously simply because it's controversial. It's just we're wired to the status quo and nobody likes to be tricked. And you can't keep sa

A 'real scientific' article wouldn't do anything to convince people - it would be picked apart and doubted. Which is kind of an interesting thing in an of itself. I think for controversial stuff, you simply won't get sci

Terrible development. Opera was hands-down the best desktop browser. Somehow less buggy and more userfriendly than Chrome. Handles tons of tabs without problems, fast snappy and even with support for vertical tabs.

WordPress isn't moving away from PHP, you'd have to be completely unaware of WP to draw that conclusion. For starters, the REST API that will power JS based clients is built in PHP. The actions and filters API which is the bread a

When you use clickbait headlines (where's the part that spells out doom? Answer: It's not given and there was no intent to do so) you discredit your own analysis. This just becomes yet another fluff piece promoting a static site g

Just as you can't say startups create jobs without considering the jobs it displaces, I think you can't hide behind the notion that startups are generally a force of good. That way you sweep all the startups that have a net negati

Depends on the software but its easy to overlook. I'm just a solo dev, so every hour I spend on customer support is an hour I'm not doing product development, marketing or generally something that is a leveraged use of my time. Fo

The cost of supporting a customer is typically fixed for a vendor regardless of what price the software is sold at. Supporting customers who paid less relative to the costs can be hard to justify. It could even lead to a net loss, so it&#x2

Because building random crap and building models from instructions are both fun. Even cooler when your random crap/custom creations can be enjoyed by others.

Are rich offline capabilities part of the roadmap? For a long time I've been wondering if there would be any benefits from the Simperium project flowing to WordPress.

I'm no expert but isn't this article being disingenuous about three listed disadvantages of free certs? "Short lifetimes" The free cert I'm using from startssl is good for a year not the 30 days mentioned as

Themes rarely have hackable exploits due to what they (are supposed to) do. If there's insecure code in there it's probably code with functionality that belongs in a plugin to start with. Themes that have had vulnerabilities in th

I do like the features. I was drawn by the appeal of cssnext as a way out of needing preprocessing, by being able to use soon-to-be-supported css features straight away. But adding new spec that looks like the CSS language is not transparen

Yes, cssnext!

Looks appealing, but it is very confusing. At least with Sass/less etc you can easily distinguish between native css and non-native css constructs such as mixins and extends. But the additions rucksack make are ambiguous. Is it real sp

I wonder what it would be like if it were possible to add new dimensions to the economy. If we reward ecological, service and aesthetic contributions in a similar way we reward the exchange of scarce goods and services in the economy today.

I'm not perpetuating this supposed fallacy. Software developers fail with their products for various different reasons, there just seems to be very little evidence that the choice of GPL has impacted economic viability. At least I can

You seem to be persisting the myth that developers aren't able to make a living under GPL. In the WordPress ecosystem virtually all products are GPL compatible and the economy is worth millions and millions. Developers are doing just f

are you using Windows 10? I'm wondering if the virtual desktops feature was going to make my life easier managing tons of windows. Your comment doesn't sound very encouraging.

Just started playing this. It's worth noting that nothing lower than IE10 is supported (due to flexbox and other things I suspect) and it's javascript dependent. That results in broken stuff for around 2% of traffic depending on t

And even if your dim view of people is true - that all but a minority of people are so lazy they would all just sit on the couch and do nothing - it would not matter. When our tools are providing all of what the population needs, what is th

No one's arguing that only a small percentage of people are geared toward pursuing high risk/high cost opportunities. But it's not really relevant to the idea of basic income or an indictment of the majority. The vast majorit

Did you take inspiration from Rangy ( https://github.com/timdown/rangy ) and if yes, what makes Marklib better? Would like to know if there are obvious benefits to using Marklib over Rangy.
