I'll probably buy it. I've been using Firefox for almost 15 years. Mozilla has never really let me down. I would much rather pay for an integrated vpn/cloud storage provider than maintain multiple accounts with multiple provi

I've been working as a professional web developer for 5+ years. In that time I have always used Firefox for development. I have never once felt that Firefox dev tools was missing any tool that I needed. I'm curious what kind of ap

This is great! I'm currently working on a large Django project that has itself and all of it's services running in Docker containers via docker-compose. In order to use a traditional debugger, I would need to set up remote debuggi

What a wonderful description of Joe. Sad to say goodbye to one of the people who laid the foundations of modern computer programming.

First of all, that's not what proprietary means. Second of all, you have no idea what you're talking about. Mozilla is a registered non-profit. This means they are legally required to uphold their mission statement: https:/&

Laws like this one and the recent anti-crypto law in Australia have me really worried for the future of small, privately owned sites. If laws like these continue to pass, it's going to become more and more difficult for small sites to

If you look at the `package.json`, there are only 17 dependencies, which for a node project, is not that many at all. In addition, most of libraries are "standard", well maintained, and stable.

You have a layer of ice covered with a layer of snow. Each year, that snow melts a little and then re-freezes on top of the ice. Then, more snow falls on top of that snow. This happens year over year for a long time. Each layer of snow puts

It does help. what I find interesting here is that the prover was able to find a potential bug that the test cases were not able to find. That's powerful.

Though it didn't take 200 years, the Altare della Patria took 40 years to build from 1885 to 1935 and is quite grand and impressive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altare_della_Patria . It was actually my favorite

The example given with the `Point` struct is interesting. As a self taught developer with admittedly little language design knowledge, it almost seems like unit tests without all of the boiler plate. For instance, the `is_diagonal` function

The author did mention that some urgent issues don't fit inside the sprint window and should be tackled immediately. I can only assume he meant hotfixes for bugs and things of that nature.
