The faster deployment thing seems pretty vague and free of actual content.

You're just describing what sits underneath the XUL or HTML.

What are the plans for shipping 64 bit Firefox? I see they have Nightlies, but what about release?

One of the things Mozilla could do is to make Flash run better. One of the few things Mozilla CANNOT do is to make Flash run better. Flash is closed source, proprietary software, owned by Adobe. Google did their own implementation (of a

I'm not very familiar with Unity but doesn't it support real HTML5?

That would require users to install his cert as trusted, though.

...not to mention that restrictions on what you can do with the WebView also restrict what you can eventually achieve with the UX, effectively crippling Safari's competition.

https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-ios Pretty active development. No releases on the app store, though.

If they're willing to be broken in other ways.

Firefox for iOS is. But yes, the gaping holes make making something competitive problematic.

WebRTC DataChannels are actually built on SCTP.

I guessed that immediately (but still verified it). It was obvious it was going to be a trick question, so...

I guessed correctly with only one no. You can enter all kinds of crazy random sequences which only have The Rule in common and get a yes, which seemed to be enough assurance. If you're trying to get it to say "no" but failing

The problem with C++ is that the more time you take to learn it, the deeper the rabbit hole goes. For most languages I have the feeling I'm getting more proficient as I use them. Not so much with C++, especially if you get exposed to o

If the language defers explicitness until runtime then there's nothing a compiler or interpreter can do to get rid of the overhead. With things like a JIT it can see it at runtime, but that's still overhead to handle the detection

C++ is not complicated We need some frame of reference or objective standard, but I'd say: that is wrong.

IIRC we're about to deploy this so it must already exist :P

Probably mostly depends on the libraries and frameworks that will appear? The SQL query->data->template pipe isn't very reliant on the language as long as it can manipulate "data" reasonably well. Nobody wants to code C

>All the important scalable features are incompatible - so-called 'bundling' where many streams use a single port etc. AFAIK this is being fixed. Firefox should support the standard and Chrome is fixing their implementation to

Only in the sense that its missing all the features. People seem to forget when considering current browsers "bloated" that the bloat comes from the webpages containing all the cruft.

ORTC is basically Microsoft's NIH version of WebRTC. Maybe some of the good ideas will end up in an improved WebRTC standard, but ORTC itself is not "the new version".

I'd love a honest, MODERN comparison of both systems. Sometimes I feel like the cargoculting with PostgreSQL is as bad now as it was with MySQL 10 years ago and MySQL is being badmouthed for mistakes from the MyISAM age. MySQL has some
