Or it did happen, but no one's there to talk about it.

I was referring to its computational complexity.

I was referring to possibly not knowing about Ray Tracing which is a technique and a subset of the field of computer graphics and thus possibly not understanding its computational complexity, I don't know why you're upset at me.

It's bizarre for people living in a democracy to consider an elected president's possible use of nuclear weapons "not preventable in any remotely deterministic way" when said president goes on TV and openly calls for nuc

How did WWI begin?

Apparently it didn't move forward in time. I'm hoping this time it will.

So it should measure in half-life?

Because a percentage makes so much more sense? And a percentage what would that exactly be?

You may be a minority in that group. What should most readily be understood when the word environmentalism is invoked is an existential question with regards to humanity as a whole and what impacts the well being of all people on the planet

If we're not supposed to be scared into action about the most existential threat facing humanity right now when is being scared justified?

I really hope it reverts back to the old documented approach if the new API breaks things, because I can the see the day that Apple pushes an update to remove this API without any prior notice.

Except that if they don't realize FF is using it and decide to drop it completely in their next update. That'd be a fun day for FF users.

I agree with most of what you said, except that you can't remap CMD+P and a few other keys used by FF itself whereas on Chrome you can. I made a patch to my FF to make this possible.

By probably monitoring CPU cache hit rates would be one way.

In what cases did you notice key type response being slower than Chrome? I feel like you have to have pretty incredible spidey senses to detect that.

I think the day that Apple completely bans non-App Store apps is approaching very quickly. It became apparent when Mac OS started checking app signatures with a remote server a couple of OS releases ago and wouldn't let you open them i

There are also a lot of Chrome extensions that do the same: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/multilogin/ijfggli... Also keep in mind although Firefox containers is made by Mozilla it's a plugin

Certainly YouTube isn't snappier than in Chrome at all. Most other sites feel the same or faster, however.

Interesting that Apple doesn't recommend using the technique the author describes but instead offers a worse option than the deprecated choice.

It's very concerning that Firefox, a major browser used by millions, relies on undocumented Apple APIs. While it's brilliant to discover this gem in kernel space to use it "in production" is a whole different story. I wo

For those who don't understand the significance of this I highly encourage you to learn about ray tracing and the complexity of it. If combining something that complex with something so simple (Notepad.exe) is not art I don't know

With all the talk about nuclear wwiii I don't blame you for the question. I'd like to point that human connection is more important than any knowledge. If you insist, however, I can point you to a similar story today on HN: https

The fact that to reproduce this you need hours/days is probably a good indication that it shouldn't be taken very seriously. There are numerous things that could have occurred not having anything to do with MacOS that caused the U

Russia's list of what is acceptable use of nuclear power is actually pretty vague and includes "use of conventional weapons to pose an existential threat to Russia."

The answer certainly is not nihilism and therefore proceeding with teaching Putin a lesson as we are now.

I think you should clarify that by a much smaller country you mean largest country in Europe. You also seem to be purposefully misinterpreting the OP's point about what is being considered "casual". Whether you think Putin is
