That may explain why it is exactly 30 minutes, but, despite some counterexamples, that we don't see more product differentiation enabling the consumer to choose between a camera with the limit and an "upgraded" model (i.e. the same camera with the limit disabled) suggests that underlying that the manufacturer recognizes that the consumer would rather buy under-specced hardware that can't handle much more than 30 minutes of recording than pay more for a design that had the engineering effort to handle unlimited recording put into it. Those who truly have a need for unlimited recording are likely to want something video-centric in design anyway.

I expect the answer is all of the above and more.

Remember, I’m not saying it’s impossible - just a lot more expensive. I’m sure the U.S. military budget could include powerful lasers, precision sensors, and the software to keep focused on a small target at a long distance but I’d be surprised if it wasn’t at least two orders of magnitude more expensive.

I'm sure others will be sharing it as I type this comment as well, but for many HN readers, Multi-Account Containers [1] are bound to be a godsend. Easily log in to different accounts for any website, in different tabs. Great feature that's not available in other browsers.

Snappyness is really a feeling. It could be cache or something else. Sometimes you want to use something else. Like cpu doing some work on something else while it put the browser on pause. All browsers should be able to render all sites really fast.

I don’t have a dedicated browser, I use edge chrome safari and Firefox interchangeably. However, I work on websites for a living. Using different browsers is part of the job and if I don’t I might miss something breaking somewhere.

Generally my thinking has been get passwords into 1P, store bookmarks and interesting sites in zotero. Now, all I use the browsers for its pure rendering capabilities.
Did you resolve it? If so, did you have to use their HN customer support or did they have a phone number?

Unless this is sarcasm, I completely disagree. Listening to thousands of ideas inevitably lowers the value you attach to each one, and lowers the barrier of entry for what ideas you hear.
"Kind of". My understanding is that block floating point actually makes a bunch of numbers have the same exponent (probably the largest among the group). That's not exactly the same as reordering bytes where exponents can be different (but maybe similar).

So "block" is not a lossless transformation/compression.
If developers are writing in a vanilla style based on open standards, then why should there be performance idiosyncrasy among browsers?

It's a mixed bag. Ad blocking speeds up some websites substantially. IMO that makes Firefox mobile faster overall.

I switched to Firefox several years ago out of principal, but it's been a struggle to stay with it.

2 big issues I have are the tendency to freeze, and then say "restart to keep using Firefox" because it updated in the background and can't continue.

The other was almost a deal breaker, and still could be. When using a barcode scanner, Firefox can't keep up with the characters coming from the scanner. It will randomly drop characters. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why some scans weren't working, and the scanner works perfectly in Chrome, works perfectly in a text editor and intermittently drops characters randomly in Firefox.

If it were just the start character, or the end character it wouldn't matter so much, but it drops characters in the middle of a barcode. It has for years, it's a known issue, I don't see it ever being fixed.
Interesting, I haven't run into it as upto now and I was checking some pretty cool and intense CodePens earlier.

I've not looked at DriftDB in depth (cloudflare worker running this is neat!), but can't MQTT handle this sort of workload?

Obv. there's not a cloudflare worker running say an MQTT server over websockets, but you can scope topics with wildcards (https://www.hivemq.com/blog/mqtt-essentials-part-5-mqtt-topi...), replay missed messages on reconnection, last-will-and-testament, ACLs, dynamic topic creation, binary messages etc.

I'm asking as many of these websocket projects seem to use custom protocols rather than anything standard aka interoperable.
The official Container Tabs extension on Firefox seems to be perfect for that. You can login to different accounts on the same profile.
I'm not an expert, but my understanding is nukes are designed to not detonate if they are damaged or destroyed by a conventional explosion.

But if they're sitting next to another nuke which detonates, the core doesn't even have to go critical for it to release a bunch / most of its energy due to its neighbor's neutrons flux. Similar to how in thermonuclear (fusion) weapons a simple blanket of unenriched uranium can provide a huge boost to the weapon output.

Doom was ok over dial up computer to computer. Quake was even slow connected direct over modem. I would guess the slowness was the extra data for the 3rd dimension going over the wire.
It's not firefox exclusive but SponsorBlock is an incredible extension if you watch a decent amount of Youtube. It's not just about skipping sponsorships (which it does well of course), but having a bunch of crowdsourced metadata about every video is so useful if you just want to skip to the point of the video. You can also skip non-music portions of music videos, filler content, etc.
One more thought - any consideration of hooking this to Cloudflare's queue? Then you could optionally connect another worker to that and e.g. persist everything in their D1 SQLite database.

And this is why I'm so interested in Sixel support for the Windows Terminal (https://github.com/microsoft/Terminal/issues/448)

With that and a X server using sixels, there would no longer be a need for something as complex as wslg for most apps: you could just export DISPLAY in your .bashrc, then use one Windows Terminal tab to start X apps, and the other one to display/interact with them.
Can you run multiple profiles at the same time using this approach?

Maybe you're talking about something different but zooming text only is still there on the View -> Zoom menu for me in current Firefox.
If you are on Firefox and you run into an overall system slowdown, check how many subprocesses it has spawn.

With the release of Fission (their website isolation tech) this number becomes unbound. In my case it was close to 100, each eating up at least 50MB with some well into hundreds megs. It was a swap fest. Not sure what they were thinking, but a simple post-update warning would'be been nice... or perhaps it was there, behind all that "aww, let's select your mood color" nonsense that now refularly surfaces after every second update. In any case Fission is easy to disable once you know it exists.
I now use Brave on everything: Linux, Mac, iOS, iPadOS.

Mozilla has some really weird stuff going on in their financials that bother me, and as a result, I just can’t use their products anymore. This is similar to my feelings about Google, Microsoft, and so on. I prefer tech companies to just be tech companies and not branch into other fields. I understand that Brave’s stance on certain things bleeds into politics with things like thwarting censorship and encouraging encryption, but those are also still technical problems. Tossing money at social issues isn’t what I want out of a tech company.

Full disclosure: philosophically, I am an anarchist. You should look for yourself at Mozilla’s financials if you don’t agree with my politics.

https://assets.mozilla.net/annualreport/2021/mozilla-fdn-990...

Also, just search up some of the organizations and stuff that get mentioned here. It’s weird.

————-

Edit: so, of their 1.1billion dollars in assets (the foundation, and two wholly owned for profit subsidiaries) Mozilla cut 100 million from software development expenses, while at the same time spending large sums of money on groups with no tie to software at all. It also seems that the vast majority of their revenue comes from Google search inclusion as default in Firefox… so why cut the software development funding?

Regarding Brave, it’s funded by Founders Fund, Pantera Capital, Digital Currency Group, Pathfinder, Foundation Capital, Rising Tide, Hone Capital, Propel Venture Partners and through their BAT tokens. I find the crypto side annoying, but that doesn’t feel as morally “icky” as some of things Mozilla appears to do (calling themselves a non-profit without mentioning for-profit subsidiaries, spending money on things that have nothing to do with software, reducing funding to the development of their core product).

In short, I kind of hate all major browsers, but there aren’t good ones to choose from so I try to pick one that feels least-evil. When LadyBird browser gets to some kind of truly usable level, I will certainly switch to it for daily use.

As noted by others in this thread, you want the -ProfileManager flag when you start it. You should be able to either have it remember you always want the profile manager on startup, or change the application shortcut to always use the flag.

It would be great if they made this more easily available though. It was the default once upon a time.

That only means the developers didn't care if it was fast, or even works, in other browsers. It says nothing about Firefox. The first sentence, where the author complains that JS heavy apps are too slow in Firefox, is the part that's about Firefox.
Yes, Firefox on Android is really fantastic now.

I've been impressed to find literally zero compatibility issues in the last year with it being my primary browser on mobile. Works perfectly with my bank, works with heavy WebRTC apps, etc. It's quite a feat, especially given its market share is so low, and so there are relatively so few users to report feedback.
Mechwarrior 5 is kind of meh without mods. I played with the following:

And I assume you've already got uBlock Origin. And as others mentioned, try also using Firefox as your mobile browser, so you can send tabs from one to the other, which is pretty neat.
Lets be clear here. They were only tested on some developer's fast machine on Chrome. All the users are going to be using it on some bag of shit $300 laptop running crapware infested Edge so they will be suffering like your Firefox users are.

The problem is the left hand side of the chain. Stop pulling in thousand layer garbage abstractions and making the user pay the penalty for it.
You should checkout the ability to use containers (no not docker) in the browser for certain sites like social media, keeps their tracking nonsense contained.

I am not discouraging efforts to make compile times faster. However, I also see a lot of things that would really make Rust soar not being worked on, like syntax quality of life reworks that get complex under the hood being dropped, partially complete features with half baked PRs, IDE tooling and debugging support, interface-types and much of the momentum behind wasm, async traits and the sorely lacking async_std, etc. It seems like every time I dive into something moderately complex I start hitting compiler caveats with links to issues that have been open for 5 years and a bunch of comments like "what's the status of this can we please get this merged?". It can ever so slightly give one the impression that the rust community has decided that the language is mature and the only thing missing is faster compile times.

5,000$ DSLR’s take better video than $500 video cameras.

So I think it’s just price discrimination. They want people to buy 50,000$ video cameras not 5,000$ DSLR’s.
To me it's the opposite. I'd like the same browser config, use the same window, keep my bookmarks, history etc., just want different logins and website contexts. I love Firefox's implementation of containers, and find Chrome's way of doing profiles useless.

But Firefox supports profiles as well if that's what you want, as you say. So best of both worlds.

If you want to open 5 of the same website but with different accounts, containers are the way to go.

Ideally the state should be hired managers of the wealth of the people that is, the citizens of a country. Kind of like the board of a public corporation, effectively hired by shareholders.

But here comes the agency problem.

Then, the state is, equally importantly, a self-defence agency, which protect citizens from threats external (army) and internal (police). Hence the state controls the tools of violence.

The agency problem intensifies.

A carefully built system of checks and balances can sort of keep it at bay. Less carefully built systems turned into tyrannical regimes many, many times in recent history, all across the world.
I don't use Keychain as I have BitWarden but, AFAIK, the only browser able to connect to Keychain is Safari, isn't it ?
I recently wrote a small JS page, the core of it is a table of tens of thousands of items and a for(let i=0; i<len(array); i++) loop with DOM CSS changes to hide/show rows matching a filter in the inner loop.

In Edge the page loads quickly and the loop is typically under 20ms.

In FireFox the page lags many seconds while loading and rendering, and several seconds when the loop involves a lot of hide/show of the table.

It's not that I haven't tested, it's that FireFox just isn't as fast as Edge. This simple approach relies on the browser handling a lot of items because I can't write a complex indexer in JavaScript and don't want to spend more effort on a low-use page and I refuse to put up with 'paging'.
It's a few things:

1. Clean builds can happen more often than some may think. CI/CD pipelines can end up with a lot of clean builds - especially if you use ephemeral instances (to save money), but even if you don't it's very likely.

Even locally it can happen sometimes. For example, we used Docker to run builds. For various reasons the cache could get blown. Also, sometimes weird systemy things happen and 'cargo clean' fixes it, but you have to recompile from scratch. This can take 10+ minutes on a decent sized codebase.

2. On a large codebase even small changes can lead to long recompile times, especially if you want to run tests - cargo check won't be enough, you need to build.

The USPTO record for this trademark includes several more categories:

It shouldn't matter honestly, I didn't notice any performance difference in benchmarks for react.
Both have their merits, in my opinion.

Given that Firefox already has multi-profile support internally, it would only be a matter of adding a GUI similar to Chrome's to make it the best of both worlds.
It’s been that way since the mid-2010s, especially if you don’t have at least 16GB of RAM. I switched from Chrome circa 2015 but use both extensively. As a developer what I found worked best was to develop sites in Firefox and then test them in other browsers - it avoided relying on Chrome-only features but since the developer tools both have things they do better you’ll naturally find certain tasks are easier in one.
