I used Fedora for over a year until very recently and loved it for the same reason: rock solid. However, I recently made the move to Manjaro, an Arch variant with stable releases. Manjaro's definition of stable is not as stable as Fedora's, but the big draw to Arch for me is the AUR, which I think is even better than the Ubuntu's PPA system. COPR just doesn't have the breadth of software as the other two. If Fedora could expand their community to get more software available through COPR, or if they set up something similar to AUR, I would be back in a heartbeat.

They published a beta version a month ago: https://blog.lastpass.com/2017/10/lastpass-beta-firefox-57.h...

It's been working fine for me.
Yes I love this shit fuck ivy leagues
Just upgraded. Definitely feels snappier at first glance, what I'm most curious about however is how much the speed deteriorates the longer I use it (if at all). The older version was definitely pretty bad after a couple of days of uptime.

All in all though. Nice job so far. :)

Edit: I do sorta feel like the tabs are now smaller (when there is a lot of tabs open), any way to make them bigger?
Slavery is illegal.

Letting people enslave themselves however is not.

An indentured servant or indentured laborer is an employee (indenturee) within a system of unfree labor who is bound by a signed or forced contract (indenture) to work for a particular employer for a fixed time. The contract often lets the employer sell the labor of an indenturee to a third party. Indenturees usually enter into an indenture for a specific payment or other benefit, or to meet a legal obligation, such as debt bondage. On completion of the contract, indentured servants were given their freedom, and occasionally plots of land. In many countries, systems of indentured labor have now been outlawed.

When you are enslaved by the monetary system... well... You made that choice
I largely agree with the argument out of doing it for assimilation and soft power reasons, however --

In general, poor people don't pay private schools the full amount, and private schools even set their budgets such that they expect to be subsidizing X% of the students at the bottom from Y% at the top, adjusting their tuition up and then discounting it for some or even most students.

You can't directly charge rich people more, but it turns out they'll look the other way if you charge everyone else less because they're poor.
You can't really do that today anymore though
>you can't beat JavaScript for manipulating the Dom.

Exactly. Only javascript can access attributes and call functions so good on exported document and window objects.
Trees collapse, and typically represent recursive exploration of some particular area, and can act as a kind of task list or reading list. You collapse the tree when you're not actively drilling into that topic.

Combine with a solid session manager (I use Session Manager) to back them up regularly, and they fill in a third space between an open tab and a bookmark: something you only want to visit once, some time in the next few days / weeks, and have no desire to keep around longer than that.

None of the Firefox Quantum work has looked at power usage, so don't expect any changes on that front.
Right, hence the ellipsis. So if you're not downloading German Firefox you probably won't have to worry about it.

I don't have an answer to your other question (maybe someone else will), although since that post says they'll keep us posted and I haven't seen anything, and since it hasn't been that long ago, I don't think too much has come of it yet.
I think you misread my comment; I said its unlikely to have a consistent system that can service reads but not writes during some manner of disruption.
> The fact that such activity is highly taxed or limited is irrelevant to the point about private property being defended and respected.

I'd agree with that, but with the exception of wealth (and possibly property) taxes. I might accept that real property must be rented from the state to accomplish certain goals, but I'm not so sure other property can be. In reality, if the rates are low enough, even a wealth tax is not a mortal threat to property, but it is still questionable (which is why it seems some Norwegian parties are looking to ditch it). Last time I said this, I was dragged into a bickering match, but: wealth taxes have many of the properties of rents, which sets them far apart from income, consumption, and excise taxes.

Transactional taxes (income, consumption, excise, even inheritance [though I oppose this one for double taxation reasons]) pose no threat to property rights, they just ultimately change the true price of goods and services. Property and wealth taxes pose a threat to property rights, since they threaten the property directly.

But that's not what people are talking about here anyway, they're talking about literal seizures of private property.
Sadly not how the FOSS world works any longer.

I'm of the other opinion. The legacy one was inferior, a couple bugs here and there, but usable. The new one removed the bugs I was having, and appears to be snappier. I just wish I could move the new tab button from the bottom to the top. Code doesn't look too hard, so I'll probably add a PR myself

> Garcia’s specialty is the multiplayer fantasy game World of Warcraft. While he isn’t its best player, he has a knack for talking entertainingly over his play: he is funny, brash, and filled with stories about his delinquent childhood in Newark.

Most, if not all, of the live gameplay videos nowadays mostly tend to be about screaming and raging at the screen with lesser amount of stories. And for some reason people like that a lot.

This along with the slew of Reaction videos where people watch other people watching and reacting to stuff makes me wonder - why are people really interested in someone doing some stuff? Are they so alone that they need some validation or is it more to do with increasing voyeurism nowadays?
If I remember rightly, SC's design mostly keeps GC effects out of the synthesis path.

SC is split into a GC'd frontend and a non-GC'd backend, and it's the backend that does the sound synthesis. The frontend runs the SC-language programs, whose output is a graph of sound processing components that is serialized and sent to the backend, where it updates the running synthesis graph. I think also the frontend can send new parameter values for nodes in the graph to the backend, so the frontend GC can have an effect on synthesis in cases of allocation-heavy, rapid control; but my limited experience with SC didn't involve that level of control.
No mention of Dr. Disrespect - a Twitch persona who recently won "Streamer of the Year" at the Esports Industry Awards.

Just a passing mention of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, a game which according to some is growing faster than Minecraft did. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) is the most popular streamed game on Twitch right now. The game regularly has over 2,000,000 concurrent players, has sold over 13,000,000 copies, and is still in beta with just one multiplayer map. It has been the most popular game on Steam for a few months. Some digital items obtained from loot crates have sold for over $1,000.

There is a whole ecosystem that has developed underneath the Twitch platform where secondary services help gamers overlay responsive graphics over the video stream as well as take donations. Top PUBG streamers can make well over $1,000 per night in donations on top of their cut of the Twitch subscription fee.
My problem is some independent first movers made great games for the Android, then were force off by slow-to-market game owners - who then produce junk "official versions" of the same games - all under the guise of security concerns. To get their way they used the LAW (UCC ) Now we have to have constant update checks for copyright,trademark,look & feel, and anything else they can use of themselves ( like echo,google home, vs independent home automation) or (cloud vs X-drive ) xor

Ask HN: Is there a need for another product analytics tool?
Looking into launching a tool for product analytics (think Amplitude, Mixpanel or Google Analytics).

We all know these tools exist already, why do we need another one? I believe there's something fundamentally wrong in how companies force startups to use these tools. One either uses it for free and gets very limited data set to work with or is forced to pay a huge price (they call it "enterprise package" for a reason) to unleash the power of knowing your data. There is just no offer suited for a small company or startup.
What if there was a linear "pay as you go" plan? A plan where one could calculate expenses upfront and only pay at the end of the month. I like the way Amazon Web Services operates in regard to price calculation and predictability and I think many of users would love to have the same for analytics tools. It's a shame none exists now.

I can't figure out why nobody has created this. I've been building internal analytics systems for a couple of startups in recent years. I have expertise in designing and implementing data processing systems and analytics features such as event segmentation, retention analysis, funnel analysis, behavioral segmentation and integrating machine learning for predictive analytics. I even have a small and dedicated team ready to try this business opportunity.

What I need most are your thoughts and opinions on this. Am I crazy? Am I missing something? Are my points valid at all? The startups I've worked for are happy with solution they got, but they were also the ones to pay for development. So maybe they are in partial denial trying to justify amount of money they have spent. Anyway, maintenance costs for custom analytics systems I've built were several magnitudes lower than $2k for 25M events Amplitude provides. I know they have huge expenses in sales and marketing or that competing on price alone is one of the worst business strategies, but this gives me confidence that things could be changed.

What do you think?
This might be too much for you, but if it's looking too tight, note that there's also a Density menu at the bottom in the customisation screen that lets you widen the interface (including, presumably, the bars).
Or alternatively, you could make sure there's an affordable public option for university level education for qualifying students, to avoid the need for a loan in the first place. It was feasible before, and I'm sure there isn't any non-political reason why it'd be impossible now.

Nix/Guix as a better AUR replacement is something I want to try in the near future (maybe even pkgsrc if that's still a thing on Linux). Right now, I just compile myself and "stow" stuff (and sometimes use AUR for the build recipes).
It was not true for Windows Phone 8, and therefore some carriers interfered with the deployment of the upgrade. It is true for Windows 10 Mobile, however. If a device is supported for Windows 10 Mobile, all updates are carrier independent. The "Upgrade Advisor" app Microsoft released to the Windows Store effectively allowed you to circumvent the carrier and upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile, replacing the Windows Update source for your phone with Microsoft's.
Totally agree with this. I think it was a mistake on Mozilla's part not to put more effort into extension parity before the switch-over. But I'm relatively optimistic for the future.
even if the built process is skewing the absolute number of downloads it wouldn't change the rate of change would it? So we can say that React is growing faster than Angular, even if we can't be sure which is bigger.

> If developers are running old devices and old OSes, then it follows that they aren’t developing around the latest capabilities because they themselves don’t use the latest capabilities.

And what are these latest capabilities? As an user, the only difference between Android 6 and 7 that I noticed are redesigned notifications. Between Android 7 and 8, I don't even have an idea. I don't care for the latest Google or Apple assistant; so this all is not enough of reason to drop 600-100 EUR on a new phone.

Hand-waving about "latest capabilities" is even less of a reason.
If that were true, it would mean that a roofer would need to raise prices a great deal in order to reduce demand a small amount. In such circumstances, it would probably be very profitable for a roofer to increase prices. The opposite (roofing has very elastic demand) is probably more likely. Under elastic demand, a small increase in prices would lead to a large decrease in demand. Under those circumstances, a roofer may prefer the certainty of 100% utilization at a slightly below market rate to having to struggle for contracts at the market rate.

That is pathetic. More paternalistic nannying of the user, making their life actively worse in favor of closing off a very limited security hole. If that’s the mindset, wouldn’t it be even safer to not have a browser at all?
I just updated - WOW! What an improvement! Compared startup time and scrolling around some over-monetized sites; Behaves just as well as Chrome. Time for a switch again, I've missed FireFox since I started having Chrome as my default browser back in ~2011
No, the active tab now has a blue stripe on it. Every tab has an animation of a darker stripe swooshing in at the top when you hover over it.
Yes, they are that alone. Kids these days don't always have such hot social lives.
Just installed it, looks like the update overrode my previously set default of a blank "new tab" page in favour of their overly fancy, ad infested "new tab experience" page. Looks like it's time for another scan of about:config for any other nasties they decided to sneak in there this time.

After having worked in the bowels of Qualcomm's Android drops, I have to note that the amount of precompiled vendor binaries that get included was astounding. The worst part is that their tendrils hook in to major parts of the low level networking stacks in very bizarre ways. Removing them is often extremely difficult, and even simple things like removing APKs like this one often affect the stability of the system as a whole.

I can't really fault 1+ for this debacle -- but this is what happens when OEMs just go along with using these inscrutable blobs of crapware from their upstream vendors.

I only hope Librem can actually pull off their phone. Shipping something fully open in light of findings like this may help to turn the tide.
This is so close to great but can a mac snob ask how to get a more consistent UI experience out of firefox? I'm totally happy with how everything behaves inside the web panel but:

if I just have misunderstanding of design :D)
2. As a reach, os-native menus or at least more native-style menus for things like the toolbar menu

It's not murdering battery because it's "harnessing the full power of the CPU", it's chomping through almost 1% battery a minute on Mac while doing virtually nothing.

Apparently "vibrance" is one of the culprits and switching to the light or dark themes can help a lot. But yes, it's destroying battery compared to Safari for me. Which is a shame, as it's already my default on Windows.
"Venezuela also respects private property, just to a somewhat lesser extent than other countries. "

Your flat out wrong. Easy example: The government nationalized a GM vehicle factory within the country and then a few weeks later GM officially withdrew.

Does that sound like Venezuela respects private property to you? A nationalization like that would never happen in Western Europe
Perhaps but there are plenty of scenarios in which unilateral revocation of an intent to leave is entirely justified. What if a band of member states block a reasonable deal from happening even against the interest of the other member states? What if the leaving member endures a change in government and comes to a different view? What if unilateral revocation is the only means to save millions of jobs and avoid economic carnage? And what protections would the leaving member have (still a fully signed up paying member during the 2 year time frame mind you) if the EU27 wasn't negotiating in good faith?

Continuing the comparison that means people need to understand not to cold power off the computer, not the specifics of CSS, JS and HTML. Note that cars are also going to be more and more abstracted away with automatic gear shifting (now I don't need to understand how gear shifting works).

You can change the theme to "light" in preferences. If should get rid of the black bar. This has been a common complaint from osx users.

Then again it takes about half a second to change the default search to your own preference.

Google is probably the most approachable for the vast majority of users. It is a sensible move in that regard.
I believe you can on every platform, but make sure to use a different profile (-P option, off the top of my head), as they're not compatible between releases.
There will likely be some people errantly suggesting this is due to search quality. It is not. Yahoo previously outbid Google approximately three years ago for that default search offering, and it's likely their arrangement has come to an end. One of Mozilla's strongest sources of funding comes from selling the default search engine spot to the highest bidder.

EDIT: As an interesting note: Yahoo's deal was for five years, not three. I am guessing Verizon decided it didn't want to pay for Mozilla anymore, and cut it off early?
Arguably no they actually werent

That's very cool.

For users of older Gnome versions, note that you can change both the font scaling (text-scaling-factor) and global UI scaling factors.

If you, like me, have a screen that needs 1.5 scale, you can either set UI scale to 1 and font scale to 1.5, or UI scale to 2 and font scale to 0.5.

That's almost as good as real fractional UI scaling.
I don't begrudge those that have made it, in fact, the opposite is true, I'm happy they managed to cross the chasm.
