As the Reddit thread quoted in that Twitter thread explains, Servo was not originally intended meant to replace Gecko. It was a research platform to explore new techniques which could be used in Gecko, and it successfully did that. Indeed, i think it was a pleasant surprise when it turned out WebRender could be ported, rather than rewritten in Gecko.

It is a shame that Servo was shut down, because now there isn't a codebase focused on developing new technology; innovation has to happen in Gecko, alongside being a production system.
That looks like a feature request, not a bug. Am I wrong?
>We got very, very lucky with several factors

Not at all.

You look at pages like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geologic_temperature_record#/m...

RCP8.5 is the only RCP listed on the graph with no context that it was never expected to ever happen. They did this because they are wrongfully blowing the issue out of proportion. A clear case of unscientific bias portraying data as far more extreme than is appropriate.

There's also this 'greening' factor. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/greening-of-the-earth-mitigates...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change#Nature_and_wild...

In the entire article the global greening and anti-desertification is simply not mentioned. This is because they are biased. Another clear case of unscientific bias portraying data as far more extreme than is appropriate.

We're on the fourth prediction of the end of the world, they keep saying we have ~10 years left and when their time runs out they just predict it again. Their unscientific bias is clear.

You must account for the unscientific bias and then climate change is far less of a concern and we weren't 'lucky'. There's a concerted effort to blow it out of proportion for political reasons.

Because they rebelled against the Spanish Crown, lost the war and left of were expelled [1].

Through the history of Spain there has been waves of conquerors that have forced their culture to the natives (with different level of success): Carthage [2], Rome [3], Goths [4] and Arabs [5]. Most of the time, the natives converted to their masters' language, culture and religion. Of course, most of the time, those who refused to assimilate, were then battled, exterminated and those that were alive left or were expelled (Numantians in the case of the Roman conquest [6], Christians in the case of the Arab/Muslim conquest, Muslims in the case of the Christian re-conquest). It's not pretty but it's the history of the Iberian Peninsula.

I found Amazon unstable on FF for a while a few years ago, it would randomly go off and spin the CPU or eat a pile of RAM, sometimes recovering and sometimes needing to be killed. It was one of the things that pushed me towards using Chrome more. Chrome has since started to have a few issues (occasionally dying and not remembering a chunk of my open tabs being the big recent one) so I'm starting to move back the other way ATM.

Modern industrial agriculture actually produces far less per acre than small market gardening by hand does. The efficiency of the industrialized approach isn’t in output per acre it’s in output per person hour.

So if large numbers of people farmed by hand we’d actually be able to feed more people, but the trade off is far lower output of other industrialized goods and services.

> Selling out in other industries is looked down upon

That is certainly true. When people have a ton of money and sell out for even more money, that's always somewhat looked down upon I guess? Either its Joe Rogan or Notch, it almost seems sad to see people want to get richer when they're already absurdly rich.

The strangest thing about wealth (or power) is that once you get it; you seem to loose control completely. From that point on; all you want is even more money or power.

There are probably many examples of people who managed to give up power or money, but the majority seem to want hang onto it...

Some friends in WA sold without wanting to sell.

The market value of their home grew enormously, and with it their property taxes. They live frugally on a low, fixed income and eventually the tax burden grew too much. So yeah, they got a nice capital gain, but they had to move away from the home they bought as newlyweds and raised their family in. It probably would've been better for their children's inheritance if they hadn't sold the house, too.

Shit happens, I suppose.
As someone who lives in the countryside and have multiple roads like you describe, I can comfortably say nobody honks the horn on blind corners nor narrow roads. Maybe it is like this on other English counties but I've not seen that to be the case when travelling either.

Official or correct usages aside, the more typical usage for horns in England are:

+ impatience. eg a car going to slow and the driver behind is a dick. Though more often you'll see drivers flash their full beams instead.

+ as a way of alerting another driver in an emergency. eg your pulling into a lane where another car exists because you didn't see that other car. This is basically what the GP was saying,

+ or a sign of unhappiness. eg if you cut someone up on the road, you'll likely get honked at. It's basically used as a gesture, like swearing at the other driver.
Indian English is definitely a language with its own grammar and word forms. My favourite phrase from Indian customers confirming they wanted something done - "please do the needful".

I get a horrible feeling in my stomach when I see these "remote" IDE options. I am very sure that they have their benefits, coding from a thin-client machine and having an "always on" session in the cloud ...

But it feels like a slow errosion of our control and ownership of our tools. Where everything is becoming a rent-seeking opportunity and good tools are made available for a monthly rent.

Personally I like having my whole build system, IDE, CI/CD on a machine I work at. I get this might not be for everyone, but I think we need to be careful what we give up long-term for these conveniences.

Granted, I could just use VI and a terminal and nobody is forcing anyone to use anything ... but like many things, they are not like-choices.

I depend on my tools, and the fewer dependencies to paid-montly SaaS features the better.

It is pretty annoying. I tried daily driving Firefox for some time, and found it inferior to chrome, though if you'd ask me to define exactly why, I wouldn't be able to do so.

Right. Strange that. Who’d have thought that’s how a company would prioritize things.
Different cultures have different unwritten behaviours on roads.

In the mountains of Italy, drivers give a short honk before entering a turn on a serpentine road, which usually can't be seen around. If there is no responding honk, they will take the full width of the road (making the very tight turn easier and faster). Tourist drivers have to pick up on this :)

In much of Europe oncoming cars flash their lights to warn others about dangers and (especially) speed traps or police checks, so they can slow down in time.

Here in Lithuania, flashing your warning lights (the four orange ones on the corners of the car) means thanks, for example if you let someone merge from one of the very short onramps. I've never seen this in Germany, where onramps are however much longer.

And amongst truck drivers it's pretty wide-spread to blink right to tell a following car you think it's safe for them to overtake you and blink left when you think it no longer is. At least on long roads where there are no obvious right turns. I flash them a grateful hand sign when passing their mirror.

Although, if we go by your logic, wouldn't doing everything without an editor be even better? Because the indication and advice you're giving is that people using right tools that help their life are suddenly worse at doing their job.

IMO they're in a good position where then can include deep-rooted privacy services on which they could (and already do in some) capitalize.

for example Mozilla VPN and Firefox Relay which added a premium version with unlimited aliases and your own @*.mozmail.com subdomain.

If they can find a way to promote themselves as a leader of Internet privacy with well-integrated servoces, and from which they can get a revenue from it then at least they'll gain some independence.
I have to strongly agree with your last point - I also never understood the massive hard-on that the technical user-base has against useful telemetry. Perhaps it's just the loud minority, but to me it seems that most of them have never worked on an user-facing product (for-profit or not).

Yes, users can themselves explicitly communicate feedback regarding the product or its features, and no, most of them don't do that. That's why telemetry is useful.

> greater configurability leads to greater code complexity and therefore greater maintenance costs

Firefox is extremely configurable. Settings being removed from the UI doesn't mean they are gone.

`about:config` has a crazy amount of toggles that allow customizing pretty much everything, including turning off all the Mozilla services (telemetriy, account sync, Pocket, VPN adds, ...). Compare that with the measly set of settings and undiscoverable CLI flags available in Chrome...

I personally feel removing settings from the standard UI is perfectly fine when almost no-one is using them, and power users can work just fine with settings.js or `about:config`.
If Google will be able to have a monopoly on the rendering engines and dictate web standards that will be hugely detrimental to lots of companies.

I don't understand why those companies don't finance the development of alternative rendering engines and browsers. Right now Google is financing the only alternative left, Firefox. So they kind of control that, too.
I have the impression that programming has become easier. It used to be that you needed a compiler, editor and so on to build desktop apps. Now, many products support scripting in some form, so people jump to that. Or, they support data export, so people write a python script which can read that data. Etc.
I personally don't understand this complaint. I use VSCodium on a daily basis with numerous extensions, and it is far faster than Atom. Yes it doesn't have the speed of properly configured emacs but I've also had emacs configs that take longer to load than codium. Codium is more than snappy enough with my build out to do all of my work effectively, I don't notice any typing lag at all
This looks the most promising even though it's not a finished product until you look at the $2000 price tag.
"we're talking about sharing technical data with a non-profit organisation to help them maintain and improve the browser you rely "

No we are talking about a non-profit and a for-profit at the same time, where the distinction is often not clear. But it is clear, that they included ads and "studies" by default in their browser, that did send data to whoever, without any user consent.

So no, I do not really trust them anymore. Still more than google maybe, but not enough to voluntarily send them my data. And this is a shame, because I would have liked to keep trusting them.

Any company can set cap limits and wait limits. "Sorry, we're booked out 1 month, check back soon." (Don't major restaurants do this?) More people want to visit than cap or time allows, open more locations. &c.

The real problem of Firefox is one that nobody cares about: distribution.

Let's say Firefox is the most advanced browser of the universe. How can you get people to install Firefox?

Chrome has the advantage here because it is preinstalled in every Android phone and Android has more than 90% market share.

The second advantage Chrome has is that it cannot be uninstalled from Android. The fact that Android phones have a limited storage space is a compelling reason to not install a second browser.

The third advantage Chrome has is the fact that more than 90% of people use Google has search engine and every time you access google.com with a browser other than Chrome you get a "Switch to Chrome" notification telling you that Chrome will help you "hide" annoying ads (without telling you that Google is responsible for the annoying ads) and you will be safe against malware. The regular user fears malwares and viruses more than ads or anything else because they think their bank account info will be stolen, so better security is a compelling reason to install Chrome.

Please, tell me, how do Firefox or any other browser can compete with the fact that Google is abusing their dominance of the search engine market and the mobile phone market to "force" people to use Chrome?
Has Mozilla explained whether or not they are not handing your data over to Google?

>NZ and Taiwan didn't follow WHO in the early days

They followed the basic test/trace/isolate advocated by WHO seriously, mask was additional prevention layer from basic common sense that Asians including PRC already were doing. BTW PRC was also advocating mask wearing in their "propaganda". TW itself got a chance to act early due to warning by PRC doctors due to cross strait connections. Same info avail to west via backchannels. Again, import case statistics from TW/NZ demonstrated PRC exported less than a few hundred cases to these places TOTAL, which would have been completely managable with a competent isolation system. The entire time they had continous repatriation flights from PRC, as did many other countries that handled covid well directly as result of CCP handling covid well.

> The whole time lying about the number of cases, and the seriousness.

Yet you list actions of how CCP took covid MORE seriously then and now than basically anyone else. Again import case statistics from "transparent" nations demonstrated early covid numbers in Wuhan/Hubei were completely managable -TW,SK,Singapore,AU,NZ,CA all released import case stats daily, and PRC essentially stopped exporting cases a few cases after Hubei lockdown. There's a reason vast number of patient zero and import cases in most of the world came from western countries who didn't take epidemic prevention seriously. PRC did her part, include blocking outbound flight early, except repatriation flights, because you know, they can't keep foreign citizens trapped in country. And the countries that didn't take screening fucked themselves, i.e. countries that just took quarantine theatre temperature checks while letting folks go home with little followup. Their profound lack of seriousness turned a managable situation unmanagable.

> There was no propaganda started by the US.

Politicized by Tom Cotton and republican peers in early Feburary i.e. endorsed by US political establishment before PRC formally responded with Fort Detrick campaign. Doesn't matter how MSM treat it as conspiracy, it was formal propaganda position drive initiated by republicans, supported at the highest level of office, including campaigns by lying Pompeo.
