I think you're right, but on the other hand I wouldn't mind for it to be a violation of something to subcontract work and resell it to the government with a 10x profit markup. 37% of the work for 2.4% of the price they charged, what a perfect example of the pitfalls of government contracts.
iOS Chrome doesn't use the Blink renderer.

Similarly, iOS Firefox.

While it's great to have some choice, from a developer's point of view these browsers aren't especially interesting.
I like the general idea of this and I think it would be interesting to see how various software hubs could integrate it.

An easy thing you could do right now is to put an attestation directory right into your git repo. Then write up your comments (maybe in a file format similar to what you're doing with signet) and do a signed commit into that directory.
I can't imagine opening 10 tabs, let alone hundreds of tabs without tree-style-tabs.

And only firefox has the infastructure to support such changes to its UI.

I would say that the only broweser that supports your use case is firefox, not safari.

Complain, or hate Safari, as if it were the IE 6.

I dont do web development much any more. I did in the era of IE6, so someone please enlightened me. In the IE6 era, even the simplest, basic function and table layout ( Tables :O ) wouldn't look the same in Netscape, Opera or IE. DHTML requires different script for different browsers.

Today we have likely 10x+ amount of standard features working across all browsers.

And we continue to introduce new features, many of them either dead in the water or got replaced by better alternatives.

To me, echoing Stripe Medium post, Chrome tends to introduce the features and left it as is. Developers get new toys to play around with it. And try to implement as much as possible.
On the other hand Safari is slow to adopt, carefully picking what work best, refine it before it is landed.
And Apple's focus for Safari is Web "Pages", or make it as beautiful as PDFs, while Chrome want the Web to be "Apps".
These two different focus has often lead to a very different selection of features.

Personally, I like the way Safari works much better. Putting in a features is easy, taking one out is hard.
I see, but won't demand likely increase in the near future, given that we're hitting the limits of silicon?
Yes, agreed - this is perfectly fine with me. If I wanted the "always listening" feature I'd grab an "official" Alexa device :)
How would you expect 3D Touch to work on a screen that moves if you press on it? You’d need to maintain the laptop screen in one hand while 3D Touch-ing with the other; that’s cumbersome.

There is a skill to setting yourself up to learn well. In fact, for any given body of knowledge, learning that body of knowledge is its own skill. It is very hard to teach yourself 'Advanced X' if you don't know 'Basic X' because without knowing the basics, you run into walls and don't even know the outline of what a solution would look like.

> You'll get there. Don't worry about the details.

Actually, if you don't actively seek out well-written resources and possible-to-set-up environments, you won't. You'll run out of time because you have to go to the job that pays your rent. You'll get stuck and distracted because you are trying to sleep-deprive yourself in order to buy more time (doesn't work. learning well requires sleep.)

Finding a well-written resource like Think Python[1] has a real and significant impact on someone's ability to learn to program alongside all the other stressors of life.

So what happens after a person is done with introductory resources. Are they stuck at that level? No. They now have a map of the terrain of all the things they don't know and they could teach themselves. They have become better at teaching themselves more things in that domain.

This is one of the most beautiful (and minimalist!) onboarding docs I've ever seen. Aside from the Elixir-specific links, it could be used as a template for any developer onboarding.

A response from a Google engineer working on Chrome: https://medium.com/@slightlylate/cards-on-the-table-i-m-an-e...
I'll just reply to this comment since, I basically want to echo the same things. One sure way to get me interested in a Linux variant would be to iOS'ify the Mac Desktop. I can think of few things less interesting or desired from my Mac experience.

Overall, what a disappointing set of ideas put forth by this article...
Including comparing mobile Safari to desktop Chrome, so I think its all part of one argument.
Possibly trollish sarcasm aside, I didn't say anything about elites, only about organization. It's more important that there's a hierarchy who can say "no, we don't support this person" with the rest of the group's implicit backing when something inevitably goes wrong.

This means that your group is at the mercy of a figurehead, but that figurehead may or may not ruin the group. Leaving it up to the whims of your membership tends that probability towards 1.
> It's horrible for power users. I would be fine with this if Apple introduced some kind of "power user shell"

That sounds like it could work in theory, but I dunno if I'd actually want that as a power user. Mostly because there's more "normal" users out there, I feel like any alternative UI would be neglected. Seems like you'd be consigning yourself to being a second class citizen.

Maybe this works on Linux where there's less of a profit incentive because development on niche WM's and such is largely done by hobbyists, but I'm having a hard time imagining Apple spending a lot of resources on developing something large for a minority of users. Maybe if they opened it up a bit and had some sort of open plugin based build-your-own experience that could shift some of the effort off of them? I could see that working but it doesn't seem in line with Apple's philosophy.
Years ago, I managed to get two modems to establish a connection without an intervening telephone network by connecting a phone line between them. I turned off dial tone detection by issuing an ATH0 command to the answering modem. I then issued an ATA command. On the other modem, I issued an ATD command and the two modems negotiated a connection.

I was able to transfer files using the ZModem feature of the telnet program I was using at the time over that connection though it was significantly slower than just using a null modem cable.
From that piece: " Levy an extra tax on the product of offshored labor. (If the result is a trade war, treat it like other wars—fight to win.)"

I don't claim to have good/better ideas on this issue, but starting a trade war and fighting it to win does not sound very promising, especially since trade wars can develop into, well, plain wars (the decade from 1929 to 1939 had its fair share of protectionism and ended pretty badly.)

Theoretically (very theoretically), a better approach for any two countries, and eventually it might become the only workable approach, is to act to maximize the benefits for the citizens of both countries. How to get there I don't know.

It works really well - I'm basically in love with Pantheon (which IMHO it's much better than GNOME), and I can't recall encountering any bug in the last year.

However, since it's based on Ubuntu 14.04 the kernel and the software versions are a bit old.

In the next months I will switch to Arch or Nix or Void (to have more recent versions) and I may try to port Pantheon on them.
Lisp is an acceptable language for a variety of things, not just "scripting". I work on many projects written in Guile Scheme that range from game engines to static site generators to dynamic web applications to package managers, and I write one-off scripting tasks with it, too. There's a lot of mystique around Lisp and Scheme, and people tend to write it off as a relic of academia, but I use it for practical needs every day. Lisps enable a type of development via live coding that I have yet to see a non-Lisp match. I've used the REPL for doing everyday calculator tasks to live coding video games, and I've used it for customizing an X11 window manager in the past, too.

But rather than read about me confess my love for Lisp, I recommend that people just pick a Lisp that looks fun and take it for a spin. You might find a lot to like.
This is a pretty terrible article. It asserts the point that Google is doing a disservice by focusing on things that improve developer productivity, but doesn't even entertain the idea that reducing the overhead on more technical matters allow developers to focus more on UX.

The author should come back when Safari fixes some of its blatant issues/missing features that directly impact being able to improve UX.

The best approach is to apprentice with someone who knows not to make them. If you can't do that, check in with someone regularly who:

1. Won't sugar coat feedback,
2. Has shipped games,
3. Has a healthy sense of humility, and
3. Is genuinely concerned about your success.

I really like sitting on advisory boards in this role, but my secret to being good at it is that I regularly ask for feedback from others who are smarter than me at the things I don't get (which is most things).

In the long run, it's like most things. It takes practice.

To the criticism that the game industry is behind the rest of the software industry in software engineering practices, I do believe the rest of the software industry can eat something phallic. :)

I'd like to see them pull off what we have to with about 10X the competition, juggling massive game assets, a fraction of the budget, finance, and exit options, needing to meet a tough frame rate budget (even more exacting now with VR), all issues GPU-ish (when was the last time you wrote a shader, Mr. Website Developer?), and having people with a huge range of technical skills requiring direct access to the source/asset repo.
One problem in open source is that mentorship is difficult. Many people are only willing to mentor folks if they trust that the person is going to commit the time to see things through.
One thing that I think gets lost in all of this is just how little money the richest people actually have, in the big scheme of things. According to [1], "The combined net worth of the 2013 class of the 400 richest Americans is $2 trillion".

Certainly $2tn is a lot of money, but if the US Government were to "take" all of that (assuming, of course, no massive stock market crash when it's flooded with all of their holdings), it wouldn't even cover 2013's US government spending for one year ($3.45tn [2]). To cover the US 2013 full-year budget, it'd take roughly the combined net worth of the 800 richest Americans.

Edited to add: This is just federal spending, it completely ignores state taxes, of course.

I see this critique now and then, and it always makes me wonder what is wrong with your Chrome installation.

I typically have somewhere between 200 and 400 tabs open, and I work on a wimpy little 11" MacBook Air. The vast majority of those tabs are heavy things like Google Docs. Chrome seems to barely notice.

I've shipped a Cordova app for iOS that utilized heavy touch interaction. We found that GPU-rendered elements were best kept at the top of the DOM and had to do some serious restructuring of the app to get everything to perform "well enough" on the iPhone 4.

Weird thing is, when we went native, the users didn't seem to care too much. Comparison tests repeatedly left us with users that didn't notice/care about a lagging touch interaction or a screen that took too long to load. This was the case for both in-house tests and overall app usage metrics.

In our case (dating app), I think we noticed something akin to the weather app phenomenon: if an app tells you it's going to rain, and it doesn't, you feel lucky. If the app tells you it's not going to rain, and it does, you blame the app.

Most people either don't notice, assume they need to upgrade their device, or believe there's some technical problem that's out of their control (which it is) and that their experience only depends on what the app does, not how fast it does it. If the app does what it says it will do, albeit slowly, they'll still use it. This isn't to say that buggy apps won't lose users, but rather, slow apps aren't as bad as we might think.

(Note: on the flip side, I've made performance improvements on large scale consumer web sites that saw noticeable increases in user activity/revenue)

And there are plenty of people whose lives didn't revolve around the KKK either. You would find that most KKK members believed in different treatment based on a person's skin colour, but disagreed with lynching or physical violence.

I argue that any group who focusses on itself is similar. You get some vocal intolerance (see the attack on Matt Taylor for a list of tens of thousands of intolerant feminists). However, what you get from the collective group is a misguided sense of entitlement. Eg. The founder of she++ dislikes gender based groups, so she established one herself! In fact, I'd argue she++ is one of the few gender based groups I know of.

As far as I'm concerned, prejudice is prejudice. BLM focus on black lives only. Feminism focuses on special treatment based on gender. how are either of these things fair or reasonable? Such movements can't help but encourage intolerance (eg. the attack on Matt Taylor). Hence, they should be denounced in the same way we denounce the KKK.
> They're doubling up because they don't have room to do anything else

then they shouldn't admit them.

You know, I've been all over the world and in many third world countries as many people who can get on the bus, just get on the bus. The driver allows it because he gets a dollar for everybody who gets on. In my rich western nation, there is a number posted high up near the ceiling. This number is the number the bus is licenced to carry, and the bus driver gets paid an hourly wage for driving the bus about. When there are too many people at the bus stop, he says he can't allow them on as he would lose his job and he drives away. The potential passengers have to wait for the next bus, or walk. This causes angst amongst the populace who complain to the bus company, or the local government which may effect change.

In the USA, it seems, when more and more prisoners are served on a prison, they just take them and cram them into smaller and smaller spaces.. because they get paid for each one and there is no rule against it. The prison should be licensed for a certain number of inmates, and if more prisoners turn up then they should NOT be accepted (under pain of losing their license), and they would remain in the custody of the persons bringing them. That would quickly cause a problem where the local police were too busy babysitting prisoners to go out in the streets and find more for the courts to convict, and THAT is when the populace will suffer angst and demand some change.
It can also be spectacularly successful .

Look closely at 0:14 - 0:18 where there are a couple of major UI hiccups in the midst of the rubber band scrolling, especially 0:16 - 0:17 where it refuses to scroll beyond a certain part of the page despite there being content further down. This resolves itself automatically at 0:19 but then the navigation bar disappears.

Also, from a UI design standpoint, to maintain consistency with everything else in the ecosystem, the navigation bar (i.e. the "entire page") should NEVER scroll or have rubber-band effects for a web app. Only scrollable divs should scroll. Yes, you can disable this in Safari with CSS, but it will still hiccup ~5% of the time.

HTML5 is supposed to be a convenient way to develop Android/iOS in one go. But it's these things that make people say "to hell with it, let's just write native iOS/Android versions" because the native UI widgets don't have these hiccups.

Safari is the new IE to me, and he reinforces my point.

His example is that Safari opts not to implement web standards in favor of those things that make Apple specific websites better.

This is the exact behavior that created the stimga of Microsoft's IE. We need more standards and collaboration and less browser vendors working to create their own specific experiences.
Without wishing to otherwise get involved at all, I'd like to say that as an Australian native english speaker, I have never heard of the word "kike" or that it is apparently a slur against jews. Why would anyone else in the world know that?
