Could you explain how you came to the conclusion that Firefox is the most secure browser? Firefox had the most number of reported security bugs according to Secunia.

MetroBrowser or ModernGuiBrowser.
No. That's just an idea, there's really nothing planned yet, especially for Go 1.4.

How to bulletproof your CSS
> The future is now, and it kind of sucks.

I'm every now and again hacking on AROS - a reimplementation (and in some ways extension) of the AmigaOS API's.

The tragicomical part of it is that "booting" the Linux hosted version of AROS (there's also a native version) on my laptop, with a custom Startup-Sequence that starts FrexxEd (a scriptable "emacs like" editor, but without - by default at least - Emacs keybindings) lets me "boot" AROS straight into FrexxEd in a fraction of the time it takes Emacs to start on my laptop...

Of course Emacs is kinda famous for being a resource hog, but anyway - FrexxEd can run comfortably in 1MB of RAM, and that's including a bytecode compiled C-like extension language and full AREXX integration.

I'm wondering what I can do to either get a smoother integration between AROS and Linux, or run it "full time". There are a few missing pieces still holding me back.

But it still irks me that mainstream OS's lack so much that AmigaOS has (e.g. FrexxEd exposes all open buffers as files, so you can e.g. use diff and patch between your last saved version of a file and the in-memory buffer, or run gcc on the in-memory buffer to get an error report into another buffer. Of course you can do the same with tmp files, but why should you need to?)
Have you used a plugin to do that or is it custom? Since you can make a plugin out of that and sell it
What's really annoying is the pages where the background image stays fixed as you scroll down (and text starts to scroll up over the background image). Sometimes I believe I'm at the bottom of the page when scrolling appeared to do nothing and I get ready to close the tab before I notice some text had come into view.

Er, I usually notice the text. When I first started seeing some of these, I remember thinking some of them had failed to load when I couldn't scroll, so I guess I don't always notice the text.
But over a specific time-period, doesn't spike-and-fire integrate signals, so that effectively you're operating with real-valued quantities? Isn't this the brain's way of using digital signals (more robust, lower power) than analogue values over the neural wires?
I strongly suggest to include some minimal documentation (intro, build instructions and basic usage). Otherwise, What are you exactly showing ? A github repo ?
Could you name those benchmarks where Chrome "doesn't even compare" to Firefox?

On my x86_64 linux system, Firefox is marginally faster at Mozilla's Kraken benchmark (a few %), and Chrome is much faster at Google's Octane benchmark (30+%).
Are you familiar with Racket's define-syntax/syntax-parse? It's another step up in terms of power and actually allows for decent error handling!
Why In Fact Publishing Will Not Go Away Anytime Soon: A Deeply Slanted Play in Three Acts - John Scalzi (2010) http://whatever.scalzi.com/2010/02/03/why-in-fact-publishing...

> I think tabs like ephemeral/temporary bookmarks - and it's the bookmark part of the browser that sucks.

For Lightspeed's target audience, merging the UI for tabs and bookmarks might make sense. The user's mental model for both is "that website I was looking at earlier", where earlier might be a long time ago (a bookmark) or recently (a tab).
That's exactly what I thought too. There's also ADD which is a sister diagnosis to ADHD. I had a relative who had it and with medication he went from "no good slacker" to super ambitious achiever.
That sounds like "deaf" and has negative connotations, too. Same with "fun" (you're here to work, not goof off), "private" (you're not allowed to talk about genitalia at the workplace), "do" (a metaphor for sex, nsfw), "unix" (eunuchs), "bsd" (bondage, sadomasochism, domination), "curve" (whore in several languages), "fsck", "mount", "touch", "kill" (very negative connotations here)... and so on. I'm certain that nearly all one-syllable pronouncable words in English have some sort of "bad" meaning, but people are perfectly capable of keeping in mind what context they're used in, so we don't snicker each time we write "private int size;" in a class definition.

There is a leaked Nuland-Pyatt call [1] where State Department officials discuss that their Ukrainian puppets must not compromise [2].

That does not follow logically. not-X is typically zero, just like not having an inbound link from a high pagerank page is not a negative. Besides, there are three situation: no-https, both http/https and http-only, which makes your claim that the middle one is negative seem less likely.

> You can't change tabs unless you scroll all the way to the top, otherwise the address bar is hidden.

This is very common feedback and I assure you it hasn't fallen on deaf ears.

From version 2.1 the address bar will show as soon as you start to scroll up and you'll be able to manually trigger it from the statusbar as well (see the UI mockups in the blog post). You will also be able to switch between browser windows by swiping from the edge of the screen. After using this for a few weeks I really miss it when I use Android!

So I've reached the point where I'm waiting for data to further research anti-hydrogen! But the waits now seem rather long. I need about 25 million data points, but my team's going rather slowly (they need in the order of hours to produce enough data). I don't want to increase my reputation by doing small-time research because then I'll be wasting data I need for the more frontier-level stuff. So I'm starting to get mildly impatient :-) Just some feedback, in case you want to tweak it a bit.

Also, this may not be a majority opinion, but as someone with an amateurish interest in particle physics, I'd like to be able to put in a little more brainpower and domain knowledge into the game (though I haven't yet thought about how to do it).

Agree that Amazebar looks way too cluttered.

We are working on something similar at StartHQ (https://starthq.com) and keeping the search results page simple and uncluttered has been a challenge.

We ended up including more images and less text for certain types of results like contacts, for example. Check out the screenshot below if you don't have time sign up:

Interesting!

I ran my first webserver on a Mac IIci at work, circa '94. We didn't have a firewall and were right on the internet. I soon was able to apple? script up a page with a live QuickCam image, text-box, cgi-bin, and the speech synth and let my friends have at it!

I received nothing but innuendo and sheep noises, but it was a blast. This was a year or so before I started administering the definitive Quake server on the corporate network, and dare I say... internet. Up to twenty players at a time, some on dialup.

Ah the good ol' days, hehe. ;)

I think you are reading way too much hostility into this post. I think it's clear that David Samuels has a lot of respect for Coster-Mullen, all he's doing is establishing him as a "person," by giving his notable personality traits.
I thought this article was an inspiring account of how somebody with no formal training in the subject was able to recreate an incredibly complex machine, simply through his own intelligence and hard work. The sentence you quote is definitely not ridicule, but simply an accurate description of Coster-Mullen's approach, I certainly don't think the Samuels was intending to criticize a positivist worldview and most certainly not to be "corrosively anti-geek." Furthermore, through the article, Samuels repeats how impressed he is at how much Coster-Mullen figures out simply through basic reasoning, math and geometry, I mean it includes a complete description of how he painstakingly tracked down a vintage car so he could measure the size of a box in a photograph. I really have you no idea how you managed to read this article as suggesting that Samuels believes Coster-Mullen is deserving of ridicule, instead he seems very impressed, as does everyone else who is interviewed in the article. (Still not even sure how you got "anti-geek," Coster-Mullen doesn't even seem like a "geek," just a normal person with a family and a hobby, who is simply very good and dedicated at it.

An article that simply repeated the facts about what Coster-Mullen had discovered about the bomb would simply be his book. Everybody has their quirks, and an accurate representation of the person (because indeed, the article is about John Coster-Mullen, not the atomic bomb) should include more than a bare listing of facts about their life.
Of course it seems a bit ridiculous, but what hobby on such close inspection doesn't? I think reading it as a criticism is very far removed from the author's intention.

I do agree however that the title of the article (on HN) should probably simply be "Atomic John," it's okay for an article title to be a little bit mysterious, and using a subtitle creates a bit of the wrong impression in this case. (I am not sure about what the actual guideline is however)
We're hosting this on Heroku, I think you should be fine on their free instance which has 512mb I think? :)
Great job. Kudos for the well structured website and documentation also.
Though to be fair, everything is "really, really simple to build" and "the only plausible way they could have been `working on' it is if they aren't working very damned hard" when you're reading a negative, top HN comment.

I know there are few undertakings as trivial as nuclear physics. It's not even interesting enough to have to test it. I would deploy straight to production without a second thought - wouldn't you?

They need to fire their CTO like yesterday - it's a wonder they're they're still in business. I have half a mind to show them how to do it in Angular over the weekend. :)

It's only nuclear physics. This stuff was solved 70 years ago.
That's a deeply disturbing account of people knowingly exploiting vulnerable people to extract maximum money from them.
Well, the fact that someone has made it is proof that anyone can make it. It doesn't mean that everyone will have the same likelihood of making it, though.
Android “L” Release Will Very Likely Include Multiple User Support For Phones

“Why In Fact Publishing Will Not Go Away Anytime Soon”
You're right, one still needs to include the name on top of the image - that's something I'm working on atm.

We did have just text before and images stick out better, making it much easier and faster to determine which is the right result to click. Text is also quite easy to scan in one direction (top to bottom for search results), but having to scan horizontally as well is difficult. With images it's much easier, letting us include more results in the same space.
Yes!

There are lots of reasons why my hobby operating system project has been abandoned, but device drivers was one of the biggest reasons.

I've been planning to revive my kernel programming projects and when I do, I'll definitely take a look at rump kernels and the BSD device drivers.

"people before civilization didn't live much shorter lives than we do."

Not at all true. According to "The World Until Yesterday" life expectancy in traditional societies is more like 40 years. I know there is always the issue with child mortality distorting the numbers, but still.

As to 2), while some aspects of living in traditional societies sound great, in "The World Until Yesterday" Jared mentions that most people chose to live in civilization once given the choice. The main advantage apparently being to not live in permanent fear of being murdered.

There were countless different ways to live in traditional societies, though. Maybe some where better than others. Still, I am more inclined to believe Jared Diamond than your source.

Another thought on the Comanche example: how civilized was the world of North America at the time? People were coming to the Americas to escape extreme poverty and starvation. And there still seemed to be wars raging on. Maybe not at all comparable to our modern comfy civilization?

I don't remember all aspects, but I think hunter gatherer actually have to work less than farmers. There are certainly advantages to that lifestyle. But then they don't have much surplus to invest into medical research, and they can't support a high number of people - surplus people have to die, either by being murdered as children, being sent away into the wild, or in wars.
ARMv8 is targeted at very high end phones but mainly at servers (of course it will creep down into cheap feature phones eventually). My server has 16 GB of RAM which is small for an ARMv8 server. So memory pressure may be not such a problem.

However it's also worth saying that Cortex-A53 can run Thumb-2 instructions. Not sure about Cortex-A57.

Truly, I feel the cat is out of the bag at this point. Too many countries, the largest most powerful ones in the world have nuclear weapons. Even if they could be persuaded to get rid of them, the knowledge would exist still, and could be rebuilt rapidly. I despise nuclear weaponry, or any weapon of mass destruction, but at this point there are conventional weapons which are nearly as powerful, or at least just as damaging (and not as costly to build, so they can be used more). Nuclear weaponry scares the living daylights out of me... but I don't see them ever going away, nor the possibility of us blowing ourselves off the face of the planet disappearing either.
Haha, this is funny.

Richard Stallman has said a lot of things but as per any extremist you need to take all opinions in context to reality.

I used to agree with him but the thousands of hours of arguing with free software make me disinterested in the proposition. I'm willing to trade some of the perceived freedom advantages for practicality and gain more time to so what I want to do, which isn't incidentally wondering why the 50th autoconf run didn't work building gnumeric with a patch because it had a bug.

Question: is amazon paying any money to the owners of the books every time it is being viewed.

one important analogy is that the first time the library is made it has to pay to buy all the books for lending later. But an online library probably can just distribute copies instead.

Can anyone highlight what laws are going to be followed here and how the authors are going to paid for using this service ? Also will authors have the right to put their books out of bounds of amazon?
Because its a shit ton of metadata and it only makes sense to compare permissions when they know what version you already have which the device is better at doing.
I'm sorry, but your app lacks a lot of required functionality. Even for a lightweight time tracking app.

The statistics are very pretty but not very useful. The lacking of printable, full reports on project bases, is a dealbreaker for me. Also add a text field to the time entries, tags are often not sufficient. Also no date filtering? Only full hours, no half hours? The sidebar says I logged time for yesterday, if it was actually today. The edit userprofile link doesn't work.

Haven't you tested your app at all?
