Firefox has been my daily driver for 2-3 years now. I’d switched to Chrome several years before that but when FF fixed its lag issues I went back right away.

Mozilla overplay the “not for profit” card but with Google you can be sure they are collecting and archiving absolutely everything that passes through their servers.
"It feels fast and light and I may just make it my default browser again once the stable version comes around."

"Is Firefox Quantum significantly better than Chrome? No. But they are on par again"

Well this ringing endorsement sure sold me. Anyone else? Bonus: you can mix your own Firefox Quantum using two regular Firefox Colas, some Jet and Nuclear Materials at any crafting bench.
ML is riding a one-trick pony.
Usually when people ask for a source for someone'e statement it's a good thing, but in this case... you're really asking for a source here? Really? I mean... really?
No humans have been to Mars. SpaceX is planning on sending millions of people to live in multiple cities on Mars. This is different.
I reacted with such disbelief because I know many people that work for big consultancies such as Capgemini, Cognizant and Infosys, and even in tier 1 and 2 cities with 10+ years' experience they don't make that much. Hell, many consultancies bill their EU and US clients less than those figures!

I also hire directly for our own office in Mumbai from time-to-time, so I know that market rates are.

Just look at any jobs board - even for experienced devs, its rare to find such high paying jobs, e.g.

Does Atom touch every file or something? Maybe running a stat or calculating git status? It's not slow to get the full tree of a big directory (not any slower than you'd expect that to be over the network) but touching a lot of files does slow things to a crawl.

As would any other way of doing that over the network, even using a more optimized network filesystem like samba or nfs would only be slightly better.
Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is heal.
You are a recruiter, and that's a recruitment link.
Am I the only one here who thinks that nothing can beat the Chrome debugger ? Nothing comes even close.

It's a different story if you are just browsing, like the 95% or more of the internet consumers.
On Mars you can use the Sabatier reaction to make Methane, and you can make Oxygen from Water or from CO2.

What would you use on the Moon to make the Methane?
It was the constitutional court, and there were a trial. The constitution says it is illegal, the same constitution the catalans signed years ago. They cannot do it unilaterally.

Don't get me wrong, I want them to decide by themselves. But I want politics to tell them the truth and don't use the population for their own interests. And don't use the referendum to make people hate other people as they are doing now. First tell them the type of independence you want, it is not the same to be completely independent than a associate state. I think people are fighting for the independence but for different ones. And don't use the indpendence of cataluña to put the rest of spain against them (some politics said you should vote them to avoid breaking spain, and few months later making deals with the politics of Cataluña that support the independence and giving them more privileges).
Glad to hear it! I think Gatsby is fantastic and I'm still looking for other projects to use it on. I love how unobtrusive the framework part of it is, feels like just writing a vanilla react/redux app. The GraphQL data layer is inspired!
Switched to Firefox a while ago. I love it. My little tip is to go into add-ons > Appearance, and change over to a compact theme. It looks a lot better than the default theme imo!
I think that's a big part of it. A driver might have gone by the attempted mugging and even if they noticed it, might have only seen half a second of the incident; not long enough to process it.

While biking to work yesterday, I saw a collared/tagged dog run across an arterial, almost getting hit by a large semi-truck. I stopped and followed the dog. I was eventually led to what turned out to be its house -- it barked at me and was standoffish so I couldn't get to its tags, but eventually the owner came out and the dog snuck back under the fence.

I definitely would not have stopped had I been in my car.
The way to break free from the IC mold generally takes a combination of a few things:

1. Interest in growing which you make known to those above you.

2. Available positions (hard to grow into a manager when there is no manager role available or budget to support one)

3. Understanding the difference between "strategy" and "tactics." They mean very different things, and as a manager, depending on the size company, you may be responsible for setting the strategy while your team executes on tactics.

4. A demonstrated willingness and ability to put the company first and protect it. There is a lot of debate on this one and what it means, but generally those who do this get ahead faster than ones who don't, regardless of your viewpoints on whether that is right or not.

5. A growing focus on process and where you team fits in with the rest of the company. By focusing on this, you can find ways to improve team efficiency and performance, and better interface with other departments. As a manager, your job is literally to improve the efficiency and performance of your team and be the glue to other teams.
As considered by reasonable outside observers which are not corrupt. The corruption in these countries and the actions they take which are based on decrees and fiat, rather than actions carried out equally and fairly according to defined law, have been widely documented.
> I do not agree that pre-selling a purely functional token is necessarily an offering of securities under Howey or otherwise

Are you a lawyer? Because it wasn't the opinion of the author; it was the opinion of their lawyers.

> offering it to the public is not "securities fraud" in and of itself.

Right. In the US, you can abide by the new-ish JOBS act for crowdfunding from non-accredited investors. You'd be selling a security. The problem with token sales is that they are trying _not_ to be securities. This may not be "fraud", but it is likely in violation of securities laws.

> this article is not useful to anyone else trying to make a similar decision.

The takeaway is that no project going forward should do a pre-functional token sale.
I think "never looked back" is more a turn of phrase than anything here. Obviously the author has looked back, otherwise he wouldn't be writing this article.
He didn't seem overly enthusiastic about a Moon base, he mentioned it almost in passing, as if saying "I guess a Moon base is now a possibility, if you fancy it then I suppose we can sell you some rockets for it".

I'm not very confident about ESA's ambitions either, they don't have a very good track record of achieving ambitious projects such as this one.
What I think they're trying to say is that using software security with no hardware security doesn't fix the issue of what happens when someone modifies your device to add hardware that is capable of skimming your software encryption keys.
Well, it is normal since independentists have controlled Catalunya since 40 years ago. It used to be that 20% of the population was independentist through, now is over 50%.

For example, they choosed school principals among independentist so now over 85% of them are Catalan language teachers that tend to be independentist. This way kids could be directed to be independentist too.

The same happened with the local media, TV3, newspapers like La Vanguardia. If you were not independent public funds were not given to you. Those private media without the public funding could not live on their own.

Since 20 years ago they control education too, and kids are forced to speak Catalan as the main language, studing a very biased History full of lies like that Catalunuya was a reign in the past. They also put big sanctions on shops labeling things on Spanish until nobody dare.

They brought nearly a million muslim people to Catalunya to work so they do not speak Spanish, like people from Spain or South America does. This makes it the higher terrorist risk area in all Spain, including Ceuta and Melilla.

The problem was not independentist forces doing this, but the central gobertment that let this happen.

Now with half the population(controlling Catalunya) against the other (supported by the Govertment) there is a significant risk of civil war there.
> which is now probably off the table for good, but that was the idea

Oh, that's interesting. What makes you say so?
It will likely take centuries to terraform Mars. We ARE, um, Cythereaforming Earth currently (i.e. making more like the planet Venus). And we're doing it for political reasons (fossil fuel interests).

Mars is a barren desert almost a vacuum. But no one lives there, so political opposition is less of a problem in principle. Besides, I think we'll solve the Earth's problems, too. Hopefully doesn't require extreme geoengineering like Mars does, but that's possible.

The idea is you start a self-sustaining civilization on Mars /first/ that has sufficient industry to do terraforming on its own. It will have a strong cultural and political interest in doing so. The hard part is getting a self-sustaining civilization (a city of at least a million people).

Terraforming Mars would involve pumping super greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, warming the surface by reflecting sunlight from massive (but extremely thin) mirrors in orbit, modifying the surface albedo by placing dark colored dust on the poles, and perhaps more directly by continuous sequence of fusion pulses (think inertial confinement fusion) over the poles as Musk has previously suggested. This all would cause the regolith to outgas and increase the atmosphere's pressure which should lead to more warming. Might need to beef up its atmosphere further with external source of volatiles, like icy asteroids or comets. The impact would also liberate a lot of heat itself.
I was very critical of Mozilla in the past about all their
"science projects" like Rust. While I appreciate Rust, I thought it was wrong for Mozilla to be wasting resources on it, instead of focusing on Firefox.

I was so harsh with them only because I strongly believe that Firefox is my only hope for a free web.

But then I tried 57, and I must admit, boy was I wrong. This thing is fast! I haven't stopped recommending it to friends and colleagues!

Good job folks!
And FF Developer Edition still lets you install unsigned extensions.
Right but with a motorcycle you're matching traffic speeds, and in fact, usually going faster, so everything comes from in front of you. On a bicycle you're at the mercy of everyone behind you seeing you and recognizing the speed differential and so on.
Just switched to Firefox beta to test this out. Looking good so far!

The other thing that I've been waiting for is better multi-profile support. You can get a (pre-release) version of that now by opting into the Containers experiment: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/containers
Some folks, if inclined towards skepticism, think that it's a form of give-away: Hand it to a private business, and bail it out when it fails. Some of these things work, and some fail. A couple of interesting privatization episodes to consider:

* Public education --> Charter schools

* Public and nonprofit colleges --> For-profit education industry
I tried to like the new Firefox, maybe I didn't give it a fair chance, but it instantly disappointed me.I opened 5 gifs in new tabs and CPU usage rushed to 100% an all cores for half a minute.

But often it's the small things that make or break it. For me it was that HTML5 videos don't fullscreen to a new workspace on macOS like they do in Chrome or Safari.
There can only be a relatively dominant tribe if 1. The smaller tribes refuse to join with the larger tribe or 2. The larger tribe refuses to accept the smaller tribes.

Both are bad and should be rejected.
I get where both of you are coming from, but there is one UX part of this I've found that is hard to solve.

Inexperienced users want to be told what to do. You can't just throw information or warnings at them without giving them a way to act on it.

Combine that with the fact that if the users even read the warnings they are going to only read a sentence at most, or just the first option.

So when you show a warning like"you have never received email from this address before" users are going to ask what they should do. Is this dangerous? Did it come from my bank? I've had this bank for years! Does this mean the email is a hacker!?

If you say "it can be dangerous, but it also can be just a new email" that will be read as "yes this is dangerous" and now they will learn the hard way that it is safe, and your warnings will have less weight in the future (they were wrong about this being "a hacker" once, they might be wrong this time too!)

It's a really hard problem to solve, and the "easy way out" is to not show the information at all (no confusion if you just don't show it!) But that kind of just kicks the can to the user leaving them to determine if an email is "good" or "bad".
2010: Backbone.js, Angular.js, Knockout.js released

2011: Ember.js released

2012 (?): KendoUI came out and is just better than Sencha

2013: Angular, Backbone, Ember become mainstream

2013: React.js released

2015: Ember and Angular copy React

2017: React mainstream

I dont think it had anything to do with license. Browsers got better, javascript got easier, single page apps became popular, competition happened, Sencha is complicated as hell.
Worth looking at this resource, which seems to suggest that Chrome still leads in some of the benchmarks, even in memory usage:

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=firefox-...

Just one study among many, but, worth keeping in mind. Firefox is making strides, but Mozilla still has work to do if they want to stop losing market share. I say this as a Firefox user.

Where do these jobs go?
Just a note that in the parent post I was being ironic: the web site and tutorial are truly great and a model for what other projects should be doing.
Spray paint 8.8.8.8 on buildings.
TL;DR, use `git commit -p` and think about your commit messages.

Ended up being invited to be medium partner after my last story, so trying out Medium's Partner Program, which means signed in only, can sign in via Twitter tho :)
I completely disagree. Perhaps to Americans, wherein the concept of 'ethnicity' is culturally foreign concept, it can be complicated to put into the local, American framework for understanding identity.

People are different, cultures are different, ethnicities are different.

Why do you think that after 1000 years of war (in the case of the 'Germanics' - you could say 2000 years, i.e. against the Romans) - that places like 'Germany' still exist as a relatively coherent entity? Even when they were not 'a single state' they were allied.

The boundaries of Europe for some reason always seem to 'snap back' to something resembling an ethnographic map.

Why did the Greeks - who were never 'a country' in antiquity rallied together in defence against the Persians?

Far from being 'radical' it's actually the epitome of 'reasonable' and even 'pragmatic' that ethnic groups want their own states.

Every case is different: Catalonia, Scotland, Quebec, former Yugoslav states, heck - even Crimea ... but there's always at least some reason behind these movements - even if it does get caught up in 'stupid nationalism' or even, sadly, 'stupid racism' - those are usually just the extreme voices. Most people are not like that.
Voting to take an illegal action is not legal or morally correct, according to common Western concepts of natural rights. Secession is an act of last resort after all other reasonable measures to resolve a conflict have been exhausted.
The dedicated bicycle infa that does exist (greenway) somewhat mitigates this for me. You can't get everywhere via dedicated bike path - but it's better than most midwestern cities, in my experience.
They don't use SI prefixes. They use wei, ada, babbage, shannon, szabo, finney, ether, and einstein. facepalm
Exactly for the last 20 years it seems (through ignorance) many non-programmers associate a programmer (even in America) with automatically being Indian.
Google business model is advertising. The number of devices it sells is a rounding error.Google is good at services like search, maps, gmail etc.
First of all, I believe that [the dream of] just making a colony on Mars, per se, is obviously pointless, and actually wasteful. Per se, a small research station would be much better, and could be productive from a global utilitarian perspective.

However, things change when speaking of an economically self-sustaining base; and eventually a base theoretically capable of full-self sustenance (not dying in case there was a transport disruption or Earth itself suffered a disaster). This simplifies the funding discussion to start up costs and r.o.i.

In that case, humanitarian-utilitarian arguments such as expanding the Human civilization to other planets (Musk's call for making life multiplanetary), backing up life, etc. also start making a little more sense (if the colony isn't self-sustaining all of those points are moot).

Is that feasible? Certainly not today, but perhaps in 50 years?

I mean, a civilization doesn't actually need that much to sustain itself. The basic needs are (a) energy, and (b) materials. Obviously Mars receives Solar power (about 45% as much as Earth per m^2), and it has materials (all basic industrial elements are present in the crust).

The question is, can we start an industry on Mars that is efficient enough today such that the cost of producing and maintain infrastructure (solar panels, mining equipment) is lower than the output from the products? If your solar panel gives 10MJ during it's lifetime, you need to use at most 10MJ (used in mining and manufacturing) to produce it. That's an engineering analysis, and I'm it will be eventually feasible. It also improves with economies of scale.
> Countries are not people, they don't respect or love each other, they oscillate between peace and war. The history of every major nation is a history of violence and conquest, not freely entered union.

IMO that has not been true for last 70 yrs. Point to me a war that has been People vs People.

The fact of the current world is People Are Sovereign. If some >=N people domiciled in continuous region wants self-determination, thats their human right.
I know the project and I know the difficulties to be cross-platform on HTML5 drag and drop.
Unfortunately it does’t work on iOS 11.
Fair point. Personally this is why I like to use mosh[0] where possible. For a period of time, my parents had satellite Internet and unsurprisingly the latency was terrible. mosh made any remote work during my visits tolerable.

The idea would be to thicken the atmosphere of Mars, ideally with CO2, so that the greenhouse effect will warm up the temperature.

Obviously this is engineering on an extreme scale and long timeframes.
This is a moral issue as well as a legal issue.
Do you mean where you can get a Smalltalk computer? I still haven't finished though I have been working on it for a long time. But I am getting pretty close so it should be possible to get one in a few months.

Pictures of my previous efforts:

I may agree it's really hard, but the response is accurate. It is still possible. These kind of restrictions exist to defend people of tyranny.

The same restrictions exists in Catalonian Parliament for things such as changing the "Estatut". It is not right for a simple majority to enforce their will over the people their opposition represent. Therefore the referendum is not legal, nor legitimate.
Very cool! Lots of negativity here, but I thought it was a neat demo.
Open office is bad for general productivity of all, but organizing against it is bad specifically for your own career and salary. Good negotiators tend to go for their own salaries, interesting projects, better positions etc etc etc while pushing against open office (or other popular corporate must have) makes their position for the above weaker. Anonymous venting is safer and feels good.

Now you know.
The HUD is on the latest Ubuntu MATE now and left side dock is one of the settings called Mutiny (inspired by Unity).
According to Wikipedia it is a military force. Curious.
While it's true the firefox debugger is lacking in certain areas, it's also better than chrome in others. Debugging CSS animations is much easier in firefox, but firefox lacks a way to look at websocket packets.

One thing I like about firefox is that its debugger is a just a React webapp : https://github.com/devtools-html/debugger.html. So it's fairly easy to add to it !
I wonder how they arrive at the X microsecond worst-case number for the software-based solutions. Does it take into account a perfect storm of APIC interprocessor events, interrupts, SMP cache coherency protocol worst-case behaviour and cross-CPU TLB shootdowns, misses on all levels of instruction/data TLBs and caches and DRAM, CPU trace cache behaviour, ECC machine check events, worst case OoO core behaviour wrt branch prediction and speculative execution, worst case interference from other SMT threads, other SoC functions accessing DRAM, etc?

It would seem to me that a worst case scenario could easily cause slowdowns of many orders of magnitude. You could mitigate some of them by careful manual memory layout and hardware specific tricks like hardwired TLB entries, but still be left with a lot of uncovered stuff.
I’ve found the firefox dev tools to be quite good, maybe even better. For instance, I’ve found it has a little better tools for working with iframes.
IBM laid off 5k workers in India this year:

It's been a year or two since I did some rails, but what I vaguely remember as uncomfortable was the lack of something like guidance on the "project-level". I could never figure out which components to pick for the stack, or even where to place certain types of files.

I know most of that isn't really react's responsibility. It just happens to inhabit this sort of central position within today's JS that people look at it for guidance.

I'll be stoned here at HN for saying this, but I always considered Rails to be the high-water mark in terms of standardisation: with some experience, you could join any project and were already familiar with the folder structure and many other conventions.

I think there's something like a "React Starter Pack" project now that seems to do exactly what I was looking for last year: a set of known-good components, (pre-)configured, tested, and with the virtual stamp of approval from people who know more than me.
Assuming you mean “by the entity you choose not to cooperate with”:

(1) no, it doesn't, and

(2) moreover, it's usually done by people who have already concluded that they aren't being taken into account anyway, and

(3) even if it did, it can increase your influence in other channels of influence, formal or informal. Even if not democratically accountable through formal means, governments have only the power they are given by people choosing not to cooperate with rather than defect from the dictates they issue.
