I have hundreds (not kidding here, it's the nature of my work) of tabs open routinely for days or even weeks on end and this is not an issue for me. This is under Linux (which may be a factor) on a machine with plenty of RAM (which may be another factor), firefox is extremely stable and if it goes down it is because I power off the machine.

Do you have any plug-ins or add-ons installed that might be the cause of this problem? If you do I suggest you disable all plug-ins and then slowly re-enable them to figure out if any one of those is the culprit.

The issue with this circumvention is that it assumes wave function collapse, which is equally mysterious. If you do away with collapse, you are left with a many-worlds type interpretation, in which the wave function simply evolves unitarily forever. It is in this sense that the current state "dictates" the previous states---the histories consistent with one measurement or another separated based on the kind of measurement made. If you do the interference experiment, the histories consistent with outcomes of that experiment are ones in which the photon takes no definite path. If you do the path-determining experiment, you no longer get interference patterns but also the consistent histories are ones in which the photon takes a definite path---either one slit or the other.

Since you get to decide which kind of experiment to do after the photon passes the slitted screen, your decision seems to force the histories to become either the interference kind or the definite-path kind after you might expect that to have already been determined. That's the sense in which the future seems to control the past.

I agree that this was not explained clearly in the article. It's a very slippery subject.

I did use Groovy a lot from around 2005 to 2011 but moved on since then to Clojure for day to day scripting. I'm still trying to create a better implementation of Groovy but one snag of course is the lack of a spec that doesn't change all the time.

I haven't used Grails at all. If your primary use of Groovy is with Grails then your experience of both the language and the community will be quite different.

I think I have some advice. At first glance, this doesn't sound malicious - the guy sounds like he's too much in his own head or has emotions at stake when he speaks.

At the root, he sounds illogical - he follows your logical verbal thoughts with non-sequitors. One way to combat this is to change your verbal statements to written statements. i.e. write your position on a whiteboard, record his response, and keep volleying back and forth. This way you have a written record to track the logic and you can work together to arrive at a solution. Don't be surprised if frustration or exasperation arises if this is the first time he's experienced this type of exercise.

Google and Apple are the two most likely acquirers. They'll wait for the shares to fall a lot further yet, as it's worth less than half what it's trading for today.

Google remains desperate to play in the social world, and they have a very high specialty at monetizing text.

Comically Google would end up buying Twitter on the way down, were they to buy it, leaving them with another social disaster.
A bit off-topic, but I find it interesting how your experience differs from mine. Most of the time I slap my strap on bone dry and it works fine. If not, a little lick on each electrode gets it working. I do have some gel I bought at the behest of my wife, because she finds the application of saliva to be disgusting. Right, because it's gross to put spit on something that's going to be stewing in my sweaty juices in just a few minutes. But once it's working, it stays working (probably because I sweat profusely during exercise).

Anyway, I wonder if the difference is body chemistry, maybe you have a little more fat (single digit % here), or who knows what.

>This puts us in a position of strength, so we can say "these benchmarks are not very interesting; let's talk about other benchmarks (e.g. asm.js-related) and language features" without being accused of being sore losers.

I'm looking forward to such a statement from Mozilla. The web needs mature suppott for languages other than JavaScript and C++/C are very widely used languages(as opposed to some new hobby language) and compile to JS tools are the only realistic way of getting there. So I can hardly wait until browser venders and standards organizations embrace efforts like Asm.js and the nessary extensions to make it support other memory and language models and features (Shared memory, SIMD, JVM languages etc.).
I've started to see these fully split keyboards, and it makes me think, could people handle a keyboard which had two different home positions with two different keysets?

I'm imagining a left hand / right hand split qwerty, but nestled in the middle is the smaller steno board. Maybe that's crazy, but whatever the right design, there have got to be hobbyists out there who would build the prototype which you could feature.

Is that the right path? Building some kind of uber keyboard and a cute training game and trying to do it all at once? That's endorsing an almost YC approach, but it would certainly be fun if you're into that pace.

Good luck with the project! I think captioning is important, but will ultimately be replaced by software; giving the world a better way to input text universally is a very big idea. I don't think it's necessarily great for programming in today's languages, but I guess you have to think about this sort of thing on a wider time scale.
Whoever can shove in your face the most information the fastest wins the great social network race right now. People aren't tweeting enough? Twitter decides to include tweets that are favorited by people I follow. Twitter beat Facebook long ago at this race, Snapchat also competes, but YikYak sees new content faster than I can pull to refresh.

People say that Facebook would survive against Twitter because it's such a different service (e.g. people are not capable of saying what they want to say in just 140 characters). However, In my experience, people are capable of adapting. People are quick to try new things. People go where their friends go and when a service loses it's shine and and starts doing things that are un-cool, people move on.

Twitter is one of the few big websites and apps I use regularly which I can honestly say the design and UX has gotten far worse over the years.

Search on Twitter has always been a horrible struggle. If I want to follow a friend I know personally, I have to carefully and exactly type their handle in. I could try to type in their name or username, but again I'm left doing the heavy work sorting through 90 John Smiths. Why can't Twitter order people search results taking in consideration the people I follow?

Don't even get me started on Direct Messages. Insanely bad.

More an more my Twitter feed resembles my current Facebook feed, full of advertisements, clickbait, and crap I just don't care about, stuff that isn't interesting. And it's not coming from exclusively the people I follow.

The point you make about an identity crisis extends, IMHO, to most C-suite execs except the CEO. Because they all must measure up to both internal (company) and external (what thw world thinks a "typical", say, CMO, does). I've seen this often lead to insecurity and therefore, the desire to be "superman", as you rightly pointed out.

The CEO is relatively insulated because there are less people to question or challenge him/her. Plus, because the functional responsibilities are divided between his C-suite reportees (CTO, COO, CSO, CMO etc.), the CEO usually can deflect blame for missteps while claiming credit for successes.

The Battle for our public lands
> Hangouts only works in non-Chrome browsers (including ones with WebRTC support) if you install a Google-provided binary blob.

The Google Hangouts website uses some carefully-constructed language to imply that people must download Chrome to use Hangouts, even though a Hangouts NPAPI plugin supposedly exists:

https://www.google.com/hangouts/

The Hangouts Chrome extension won't work in your current browser. You'll need to
download Chrome before installing the Hangouts Chrome extension. Do you want to
download Chrome now?

Google+ photo editing is another Google feature that requires Chrome. I believe it uses NaCL to optimize some photo effects.
Octane now includes asm.js benchmarks, and V8 doesn't attempt to support "use asm". This gives SpiderMonkey an advantage in the benchmark.

I think it's quite impressive how close V8 is in performance to SpiderMonkey which actually goes out of it's way to support "use asm".
>We've heard that Twitter can be far better than FB in many regards in terms of reaching and connecting with your audience. I'm sure we'll learn all about that in the next few months.

Twitter has been pretty great for the lab I'm at. We wrote some code that looked for search terms, and then based on words associated with feelings or intent related to the term, we send people a message with a link to get them to go where we want them to go (to sign up for a service/app related to their search term, and gives us more subtle experience sampling data compared to typical psychological studies). We're actually planning on using it to recruit for a larger study soon. It's kind of amazing the kind of engagement you can get from bot's reaching out to people.

Are you fresh out of school? Are you more junior than this other engineer? I feel like you might be suffering what I have seen in a lot of engineers who are fresh out of school, where they want to question everything, argue about things, and constantly look for ways to prove a proven engineer wrong. it's like they are trying to make a name for themselves. I've seen this in several jr. levels to varying extents. Just make sure you aren't being like that.

If you are more Jr., make sure you are taking the other engineer's advice. Even if he/she is being abrasive, he/she may have valid points. It may also be the case that they are annoyed that you aren't paying them the respect they feel they deserve as the more Sr level engineer.

As davidholmesnyc said, you can't do anything about it, other than adjust your own approach. You will not get the other person to change. If it's a big enough problem, find another job. Complaining to a higher up will not help, sadly.
Twitter is extremely unprofitable, in every possible regard.

Operating income:

2013: -$635m; 2012: -$77m; 2011: -$127m

Net income:

2013: -$645m; 2012: -$79m; 2011: -$128m

The same general result holds true for their most recent quarters. They're losing tons of money and vaporizing cash.

Most likely they're going to get severely squeezed when the easy money party ends / the stock market falls. They better either be profitable at that point, or have a back-up plan. They certainly wouldn't be the first dotcom cash burner to get crunched when the easy money stopped flowing.

To add to the first point, servers are generally cheaper than programmers, especially for things like web softwrae.
Unfortunately, the 'problem tabs' rarely seem correlated with standout numbers on that readout, but rather some other ongoing activity.
What is amazon doing? Books appear to be more expensive than ever. Ebook prices are generally the same if not more the the cheapest physical form. And the cheapest physical form used to be around 7 now it is closer to 10.
The diet is not absurd. It's the easiest form of intermittent fasting. Marketing? Well, he sells whey protein and some other things, but they are not anything specific to his diet. Yes, based on comments, there are way too many carbheads and kalesippers here. What's funny is that most "hackers" are not really ready to hack their diet.
But yea, I have been thinking of the idea of a IE only shared source program for a while now.

I switched back to Firefox from Chrome a couple years ago, because I no longer trust Google to have my best interests at heart. It's been fine; I have a beefy machine with plenty of RAM, but I also use it on my horribly slow Android phone (an old HTC Sensation 4G that has never been worth a crap), and it works OK there, too.

My only complaint is that it requires a plugin to get a reasonable number of tabs in a window before requiring scrolling. It's downright absurd that it stopped being configurable many, many, many versions ago.
Funnily enough, this comment how has my second-highest hate-score (the highest is a fairly level-headed comment on drug policy.) Apparently my cunning plan to fake being a nice person on HN is working.
I recently created a new twitter account for testing, the experience was horrid. I suggest they fix that as a first step.
Agreed. Up until recently, I too used to prefer working with raw HTML... then I started working on a couple large apps, tried polymer/angular, and ended up gaining a new-found appreciation for frameworks like react/mithril/mercury.

The cost of abstracting away the DOM isn't as much as I would've expected compared to the cognitive overhead of switching back and forth between languages, making sure everything is linked up nicely, as you normally would. There are a few times when that abstraction can lead to annoying hidden bugs, but overall I've found the workflow to be much nicer.

Octane is Google's own benchmark suite. I don't think getting beaten on your own hand-picked set of performance metrics satisfies any definition of "impressive".
Allow me to speak from the mindset of a consumer. The average consumer doesn't care about Firefox's data storage policies or how much they cooperate with the government. They care that things just work and are fast enough. For me, the convenience of Google Chrome comes from the fact that it is tightly integrated with all of Google services. I can use one Google account to log into my browser, access my email, set up a calendar, etc. Sure, Firefox can do syncing too, I just prefer using one company that does it all rather than two that do half.

Also, unrelated, I think Firefox spent too long copying Google Chrome's interface and now they are playing catch up.

Regardless, Firefox usage continues to decline month after month. I think they've lost the general consumer appeal.

Hired.com (formerly DeveloperAuction) comes to mind. I found my current role at Lookout through Hired. Having worked with traditional recruiters in the past, the difference with Hired is they have candidates' interests in mind as opposed to focusing solely on commissions. If you're qualified, they put your resume/CV in front of tons of great companies, give you the inside scoop on how interviews work at different companies, and provide more transparency through the whole process.
>It does not play well with Instagram the top social app as picture is displayed as link and not shown.

This is because of Instagram/Facebook and not Twitter. IG/FB chooses to drive the traffic back to their web property rather than embed the images in Tweets.
That is the definition of the startup world.

No, seriously. The defining characteristic of a startup is that it's designed to grew its revenues many orders of magnitude faster than its expenses in anticipation of a very large exit. That is, quite literally, "get rich quick."

To run on what device?
I've heard other people say this too, but it must be a workflow or use case thing. I run Firefox as my browser of choice on Linux, Mac, and Windows every day, and have for 10 years at least. I do remember a time when memory was an issue, but those problems have been resolved for a few years. I routinely have dozens of tabs open, often with Flash video or lots of javascript, sometimes 50 or more (with the excellent TreeStyleTabs plugin for hierarchical side tabs) and I have never had these problems. I restart my browser maybe once a month, usually along with OS updates.

I was a fan of twitter damn in love with it but I agree that over the time is getting worse day by day. The UX is just meh. Apps at least on iPhone are kind of okay, however... the "timeline" today is now even worse then facebook. I don't complain about ads, I work with them and I understand somehow they need to make money, but WTF decided that I have to see in my timeline things totally unrelated like tweets (not retweets) of my friends's followings. Wut? I constantly press "dismiss this tweet" in the hope some kind of machine learning will understand that they must fire the guy who decided to go with this absurd direction. IMHO they did all the best to kill an awesome service.

Well we did spend time to actually figure out how to properly display "2 people typing same time" situations. And I think we done that fairly well, considering there are very few rt examples out there. Hence the "new" frame.

As for the perceived dislikes, lack of benefits; i doubt people really had experience with anything outside of turn-based sms stuff, you included. I do agree though, most people do think that, but after they use it's actually not a big deal at all, you barely notice "your side of real time".

The wife and I took a cruise a few years ago and I tried my damnedest to turn off anything even remotely resembling "yes, you can have a data connection". I wanted to leave my phone on in case something happened with the kids (and so I'd have a watch), I just didn't want it to DO anything other than allow incomming calls. Got home to a $200 phone bill because there was a checkbox somewhere I'd missed and cruise-ship mobile data is abhorrently expensive.

It happens.

My goodness! I shuddered to note that this is not only very true but also almost unstoppable at the moment. Unless a miracle of unity comes by, that brings people together.
I generate maybe 60 tabs a day, and finally came to the conclusion that I was using tabs incorrectly. Tree Style Tabs is great, but I found that I was using tabs as combined bookmarks + todo list. So I wrote a Firefox addon that pops up a sidebar every morning and steps through every tab prompting me to either close it or save it as a bookmark. (with tags) It has definitely helped with this vague uneasy feeling I have about occasionally restarting Firefox and having to automatically reopen hundreds of tabs, most of which could have long ago been garbage collected.
