I wish Mozilla would stop doing so much non-development stuff. Now that Thunderbird is moving on its own, FFox is their only product and yet they waste a lot of time sending out emails about various petitions and similar. They should definitely support pro-Internet petitions as a company (as does Google and others), but IDK why they are now running essentially a mailing list infrastructure for them.
Who is watching these videos? Youtube TOS states you have to be at least 13 years old to use their site. If I were to see my 13 (or older) children watching a 7 year old unwrapping toys, I think I would go to the psychiatrist just to check them out.

Unless of course YouTube allows for their own TOS to be violated and they have a right to do so in the spirit of greed; their pockets are clearly filled up by children clicking on Google ads; otherwise how do you think he made that $22MM, from a GoFoundMe donations??
Yup, not only that, but we must evangelize and install it every where. I installed it on every phone, tablet & computer in my house hold.

Both the US and China hide a ton of unfunded debt in local municipalities. The question is whose will blow up first, because the survivor will reap the rewards.
Not looking for a job right now, but after reading about Nexedi, I feel compelled to comment on how awesome it is to see y'all creating FOSS :) I'm going to keep this in mind for the future because this seems like something rewarding to wake up to doing!
I am somewhat sad at this. I use Seamonkey, but when it comes to opening and annotating pdfs, djvu and epub files, edge does all this on my laptop with minimal fuss. I felt that Edge is one of the things that Microsoft is doing right.
I somehow got their email a week or so after the event, and after my card's fraud prevention called for suspicious activity, reverted the transactions and cancelled my card. The bank official was not aware of the leak.
1.10.4 was released only earlier this year and is no longer supported. C’mon, Kubernetes.
Thanks for the explanation. Is Kubecfg like Helm in that it will apply a "destructive" diff (i.e. delete resources belonging to a deploy that are not part of the new deploy)?

I took a look at Ksonnet a while back, and it seemed to have way too many bells and whistles. In particular, I did not particularly like the sheer amount of files, in something like three separate folders, that you have to maintain for each project. I love the idea of declaring a schema that you're generating data for, but Ksonnet seems to have adopted a fairly complex structure to accomplish this.

We use Helm right now, though purely as a templating engine and destructive deployer of charts that we store in the same repo as the app itself. The package management isn't useful for our own apps, and really only gets in the way. We're looking at alternatives that don't use text-based templating and come with slightly higher-level concepts of releases.

Right now, we wrap Helm with our own little CLI so that we can, for example, automatically build all the template inputs from a set of (defaults, environment-specific stuff, local overrides). Our tool also presents a diff if you want, and records things like git revision info and deployer name in the annotations. Thus, when you ask our tool to deploy something, it can look at what the currently deployed revision is, then do a "git log" to find what's changed, display that history with nice colours on the terminal, etc. before deploying. All things that, in my opinion, a Kubernetes deploy tool should have.

I guess the CC license is just for the page, as the image are hosted someplace else and are not explicitly included in the license footer (which is the standard footer throughout the FSF/GNU website.)

If the images themselves don't specify any license they fall back to "all rights reserved".
SharePoint Online’s user interface has been rewritten in recent years using an open source stack (node.js, React etc) and certainly works far better using Chrome and not IE. This is true of SharePoint on-prem too, at least the recent versions. Even the tools we use to make web parts now are React, Yeoman, webpack, Yarn, Sass etc. Microsoft are heavily investing in these and most of the training materials they produce for developers are pushing us more and more in that direction.
Yes yes yes.
This is my favourite feature by far.

If I notice something cool whilst at work I can send to my Home desktop, and vice versa. when at home and see something that would be useful at work send it there.

Awesome feature.
> Why would it make it random?

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56002 has the long discussion about it, but briefly: the profile directory name randomization was introduced to prevent web sites from being able to place data they control in known locations on your hard drive (via the browser cache) and then use that as a stepping-stone in a privilege escalation.
Absolutely. Apologies if I indicated my list were the only possible issues at play.
I'd put the count at 2¾: Blink counts for ½ since it's an ex-fork of WebKit. While a lot of the new feature development of the two are independent of each other, they still largely share a lot of the same architecture, which means there's going to be correlation in things like ease of implementation. The extra ¼ comes from Servo, which ends up having the opposite edge of the dichotomy from Gecko; it's effectively a ground-up re-implementation of the layout engine stack, so its internal architecture is quite different from everybody else, but it's goal isn't to drive new feature development in web standards.
U.S. to end subsidies for electric cars, renewables: White House
Now as Microsoft has given up and switched to Google's Blink engine, given importance of the web and scary perspectives of it becoming owned by a single corporation Google competitors (as well as its industrial customers - it's never good to rely on a single vendor that can always do just whatever it wants), NGOs and GOs should start funding and promoting Mozilla now IMHO...
ActiveSphere | Bangalore, India | ONSITE | Full Time | Software Engineer, Full Stack

We're a boutique software development/consulting company.

Apart from client work, we spend time exploring diverse topics. Sometimes these explorations lead to writings like compound interest[1], creating a visual primer on elixir streams[2] or diving into FoundationDB's high contention allocator algorithm[3]. Some other times, it leads to discussions in ML or distributed systems[4], or readings like Understanding Comics, or Art of multiprocessor programming. We care about having colleagues with whom all of us can grow in our perspectives.

We pick up language and technology based on client work or personal interests. Most of our current work is in Elixir, Go, JavaScript, Python.

The interview process usually involves a programming problem[5] followed by a few rounds of telephonic/in-person conversations. If interested, please have a go at the problem and send us your solution at career[at]activesphere.com.

It's more than just visually indistinguishable; historically a big chunk of the Firefox user base have been (a) power users, and (b) people who listen to power users for computer advice.

When this becomes necessary you know you've lost your power user audience: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18589555
Yes, but every bank can create money through lending, you don't need a to be a government agency to do that. The Fed just has less limits because it can just add arbitrary amounts of currency to its balance sheets.

This is another reason why I don't like the "social logins". You give them so much data. They strongly encourage you to use the social login instead of using the regular email sign up.
Yow, that is precisely the last thing you want from a company whose job it is to store passwords. Thanks for the heads up.
The experience of standards bodies has generally agreed that you can't shake out all the problems with a specification until you have at least two independent implementations.
Off topic but I'll be that guy: I am continually blown away by just how good VSCode is and how it very much overcame two huge obstacles: being an election app, and its poisonous name.
Is any of this work coming to Mobile? I agree with the GP that this is where Firefox has the biggest opening, but it seems like there's very little investment in Firefox on Android.
I fully agree! But, as somebody else said, it can be difficult to read old literature, as mathematical notation and terms are things that have evolved significantly in the last centuries.

There are two "new" references about "old" physics literature I particularly enjoyed:
- "The Book Nobody Read: Chasing the Revolutions of Nicolaus Copernicus," by O. Gingerich, about Copernicus' book "De revolutionibus."

- "A Student’s Guide Through the Great Physics Texts," by K. Kuehn (4 volumes). It presents many original papers by Newton, Galileo, Maxwell, etc., together with study questions and exercises.
I was referring to the credit card companies as being a monopoly. They use their top-down power to impose their politics on people.

It's not just Patreon. If anyone sets up a similar service, and does business with someone that Visa does not want, they will use their monopolistic power to shut you down.

Imagine if they were doing this about a cause you disagreed with. Imagine if our financial industry was run by Trump supporters, and they were slowly squeezing their critics out financially. This is bad.
"Some security experts question the effectiveness of quantum encryption. Because it is so new, it has not been put through anywhere close to the rigorous testing that would give it a stamp of approval from skeptical cryptographers."
So just how credible is it to protect power grids with quantum encryption?
Your argument is easily proven false by looking at the various CSS properties prefixed by vendors like -moz-* and -webkit-* that eventually made it into the standard.
Browser stuff is more than HTML. CSS, for example, is still driven by the W3C and not WHATWG.

That's one good reason, another is probably pushback from merchants. Having these virtual cards completely shuts down the "free-trial-we-hope-you'll-forget-and-let-us-ding-you-for-a-month-or-two" business model that's so popular for online services.
>the only problem is both company absolutely loathe Ruby and Rails.

Google may, but I'm not sure this is true for Amazon. In the 2000s Amazon converted to a platform/services/API company. One of their directives was that teams could use any programming language they wanted to implement services, as long as the only interface to that service was via published API. As such, implementation language doesn't matter as much there, and Amazon's culture seems less picky over it. Has this changed since?

user.js is the supported and reliable way to set preferences that should just be set no matter what the default configuration is or what about:config says.

prefs.js is the storage for the current non-default pref values. At runtime, default pref values are loaded, then prefs.js, then user.js.

You _can_ edit prefs.js and the effect will be the same as if you changed the pref in about:config, as long as you do it while Firefox is not running against that profile. If you do it while Firefox is running, your changes will be overwritten at shutdown when Firefox writes out then-current in-memory pref values.
Hey,
I emailed you around this time last month when you posted the ad in the November Who's Hiring, but haven't heard anything back. Also sent a follow up email a few weeks ago. Would you like me to resend my email?
> The world’s most robust computer systems... used special hardware that could tolerate single bit-flips. But Google... bought cheaper computers that lacked that feature.

I'm guessing the article is referring to Google buying servers with non-ECC RAM.

How do you write code to compensate for non-ECC RAM?

Unfortunately market share is more about being about to efficiently distribute your product than just the quality of said product.

Mozilla is suffering from not having its own platform - they could have done so by keeping FirefoxOS alive and use the growing success of KaiOS today. Looks like they are not ready to come back because... reasons.
I'm not sure if you're being serious, but that video was honestly minimal amount of effort when it came to effects, sets and production. There are channels on Youtube with a fraction of the following that produce content orders of magnitude more professional than that. This kind of video can be made by some amateur producer in their bedroom. Considering they make 22M, you'd really think they'd spend money on at least getting a single professional video editor, if not more.
I was referring to financial companies higher up, like Visa and Mastercard. Banks implicitly have government protections and privileges.

But in addition to that, the barriers to entry are extreme, to the point where they are essentially monopolies. And they are using their disproportionate powers to play politics.
Exactly, it's not like the kid is writing the scripts, creating the sets, buying the equipment, paying for lawyers, settings up advertiser deals, paying for video production and editing, etc. From the videos, it seems like they've now got a much fancier house too, which I'm assuming was paid with the earnings.
Our (German) site has mostly photographers who are not very (computer) technically inclined. Yet we have 20% FF users.
> I've never jumped on the whole Chrome hype train, and while Firefox for a while was slower,

Firefox has always been slower than Chrome. I was resisting Chrome very hard and long yet at some point Firefox's slowness became intolerable and I was forced to go Chrome.

With the introduction of the Quantum engine Firefox has became reasonably fast again and I switched back but as soon as I've installed all the extensions I want it became extremely slow again so again I have switched back to Chrome (which runs all the extensions I want without a noticeable slow-down).

I will switch to Firefox as soon as it becomes as fast as Chrome is (and I only have 5-8-years-old built-in Intel Graphics in my laptops, not fancy GPUs so GPU-accelerated rendering won't help).
Is the business model sustainable? They do need people to pick these scooters up, charge them at home and deploy them somewhere.
In all seriousness, you sound a little antisocial. I see where you’re coming from and I sympathize, but the environment described by the poster you’re replying to sounds very mildly manipulative at worst. I’m not sure you understand that the whole “bad mate” thing likely comes from his peers, not from management. Human beings are social animals, and you’ll be better off if you adapt to that reality rather than rail against it.
The difference being now that we're in no danger of IE6-ification. If Google annoys enough people, people can take Webkit and do whatever they want. It happened to Microsoft, arguably to Mozilla, it can happen to Google.

So long as the players are well behaved, having a single dominant browser is beneficial. How much time, energy, productivity, and money has been lost on cross-browser (in)compatibility wrangling?
I was going to say Youtube Kids, but even their ToS limit usage to 13 years-old and older https://kids.youtube.com/t/terms :)

Can you create a Youtube ad and target < 13 yo?
Children under 13 can legally watch videos on YouTube with their parents. Consider the premise: you must remove all children, including infants and babies, from the room and or hearing/viewing distance before you utilize the YouTube service. That's laughable to say the least. You can also take your children to R rated films for example, they just can't go by themselves. The same concept applies to video games - you can buy your 11 year old Grand Theft Auto, they can't buy it for their self. It's not illegal for children to listen to music with vulgar lyrics, they just can't buy it typically.
I used NoScript forever, but recently switched to uMatrix, and it's so much better in that it gives you much more fine-grained control over what to block/allow. I'd recommend giving it a try.

uBlock Origin is a great complement to it, for when I want to block specific page elements.
The problem is that firefox is only getting faster if you happen to have a half dozen 4+Ghz cores to burn. If you run it on low end hardware all these rewrites in rust/etc to improve parallelism seem to actually be slowing it down and apparently increasing its overall resource consumption. Older versions would run up against a gig and a half or so, and start garbage collecting. Now, its not unusual for me to see 5+GB pinned across assorted firefox processes.

I've been meaning to play the high speed video capture game with a couple of versions running on the same hardware to see if my feeling that the GUI is actually getting laggier despite posting better benchmark numbers.

More and more I find myself spinning up falkon, or other browsers because I want to actually be able to play streaming radio in the background with my browser without having it skip if I open amazon.com, or some other JS heavy site. Worse, I'm still running 56 on a couple of my machines because I can't stand how laggy the newer versions are on those machines.
Yup, it is gatsby.

+1 for bitwarden. Not a security professional, but it seems to be a good tradeoff between security and usability. Definitely better than lastpass on both counts.

Viasat | Seattle, WA, USA | Full Time | ONSITE

Viasat aims to be the planet's first global ISP. We build the world's biggest and fastest satellites, providing service to homes, business, airlines, and more. Our technology connects parents to children, soldiers to their commanders, and emergency responders to support lines, whether they're in Dayton, OH or climbing the slopes of Denali.

We were founded in San Diego in 1986 by three engineers who sought to build the company they wanted to work for, and that emphasis on our employees continues to this day. It sounds a little silly, but we still retain a lot of the beach town influence from that founding, this many years on. I’ve been with the company for over eight years now (a decade if you count internships!), through a number of different projects and teams, and still love working here.

We are hiring for a couple positions in the Seattle office I run:

I use Google Docs and noticed that one apparent dark pattern Google uses with Chrome is that you can print directly to a printer from Google Docs in Chrome whereas with Firefox (and presumably any other non-Google browser) you're forced to download a PDF first. It's confusing enough that my wife, who prints periodically from Google Docs, asked to switch back to Chrome.
Wouldn't the bank still know your full purchase history (since they know what numbers are tied to you)? So they'd in fact get a leg up on the competition, who get a more distorted view?
Your argument is similar to saying that one party rule in politics is good for the country (because the party is nice, has competent people at the top, and helps people a lot).
My 7 year old son watches Dude Perfect on YouTube, which I had never heard of. Apparently its all the rage, in elementary schools and he heard about it via other kids.

I watched a few to make sure they were ok, but they mostly came off as older guys doing elaborate stunts that kids would do on a much smaller scale (like throwing balls off tall buildings, fat suits on cars, etc )

I'm not shocked they are making $20M or so. One of the episodes showcased their new Dude Perfect headquarters that looked like a block long warehouse with basketball courts, foam pits , etc in it with their DP logo all over it.

I guess it pays to cater to kids base desires on a grander scale
I am all on board with being civil and respectful. It's the matter of application where I seem not to be of the same mind as some others. I don't want to belabor the point, but I don't agree with the way this played out.

> Google has traditionally been the default search engine in Firefox.

There is little if anything wrong in tracking people who don't care about being tracked, those who do can easily switch the search engine to startpage.com, duckduckgo.com, Searx, Seeks or whatever.
