I think this is a logical development. Firefox gets more and more Developer tools by default, but most users will never touch them. So it sounds logical to exclude Developer tools from the default package and instead offer an Developer version of Firefox.

Firefox is my default browser for a long time (switched briefly to Opera, but when they came with the new Chromium-version I switched back because I didn't like it) and I'm very satisfied with it. The developer tools are getting better and better, and I almost never touch Firebug anymore. Also I like Firefoxs tools more than those of Chrome, but that is a question of taste.

I think there is one thing Firefox can really make better for developers and that is addon development. I personally never developed an addon but looked briefly into it and from what I heard was that in comparison to Chrome, developing for Firefox is difficult. I hope there will be progress on this level too.

I've been happily buying whatever Dell sells with Ubuntu for the past 10 years or so, and have been pretty happy with it. The few problems I've had have been promptly corrected, on site here in Italy (and previously in Austria), even if I usually buy the computers in the US.
I think the big difference today is that the runtime (often cloud) and toolchain are much more involved. Nothing is self-contained any more. Dependencies are out of control.

Web apps make it easy for the user to access almost any service from almost any device. Unfortunately, this puts the burden on the developer to handle ongoing delivery, hosting, cross-platform compatibility. This can be intimidating, even insurmountable, for young developers in training.

It's a complicated world, these days.

I suffered serious anxiety and panic for a couple of years. Called 911 several times, thinking it was a heart attack. My wife, who is a doctor, humored me through these episodes, though she knew what was going on. One day, as I came to her again and proclaimed I was having a heart attack, she said, "You know, if you're standing up, you're pink, and you're telling me you're having a heart attack, you're probably not (having one)." That calmed me down. Over the next year, I learned to "fix" my anxiety, and now only rarely feel a wave of panic coming on, and even then, can get it under control.
Apparently, WebIDE is part of Firefox proper not just nightly. You'll have to toggle a pref in about:config (devtools.webide.enabled) to make it visible in the developer menu. It's pretty cool.
Amazon has some home ECG monitor device. Do you recommend their use?

purge(8) flushes and clears the disk buffers, which is not the issue that kills me with my old macbook with 4G ram.

It looks like disk cache expiration is slow and tends to kick in when it's a bit too late. With the speed that modern apps chew through memory, I'm sent into a swap thrash and get sluggish response and beachballs.

MemoryKeeper on the App store seems to mostly clear the file cache and do some -fu to compact memory (maybe it's a memory defragment, the docs are a little lacking in technical details.) When I manually run it, everything runs great until the free memory dries up and I'm back in that alloc/swapthrash/cachepurge cycle again.

I wrote a tiny C program for linux to force cache expirations (in a very sloppy but reasonably portable way) back in '98 that I've started using again on osX, it fixes the issue and runs quite a bit quicker than MemoryKeeper. I can make it available if anyone else wants it.
Energy is literally raining from the sky and sitting in the oceans in quantities that make keeping 20 billion people alive a trivial thing to do. So trivial that if that's all we can do 100 years from now, we've completely failed to capitalize on our scientific advances.

The trouble isn't making power, the trouble is capturing it: as someone once said, soup is raining from the sky, if only we had a bucket to carry it in.

Just thought I'd chime in with the fact that I have had quite a few heart attacks and nobody's mentioned one of the overriding sensations I repeatedly had, and that was one of having a belt tightened around my chest. Like there was literally somebody stood behind me tightening the thing, and the longer it went on the more it felt like an iron band was clamping tighter and tighter. Not fun.

That's also one of the terrible things about anxiety bringing on these types of symptoms, if you've already had a heart attack and subsequently you have an anxiety attack which brings on similar symptoms there is just no way to discount anything (for me). Also not fun.

Luckily the heart attacks I had weren't the result of an underlying problem with my heart, it was because I was going in to urine retention which caused either sodium or potassium to build up in my system causing all the problems. I can never remember which one it was!

But seriously, if you feel the symptoms get help.
Is CinePaint still under development? From the sourceforge site it seems as if it was abandoned. Also, CinePaint doesn't run on Windows, which in my case is a deal breaker...

The web is currently slowly centralizing and turning into Facebook. Google could fight this trend by using SRV records for HTTP/2.

I fail to see how HTTP n.n has anything to do with the web centralizing towards Facebook, nor have your posts provided any clarity on that.

Why a different browser and not just an extension? I feel like different browsers leads to different versions of engines, languages etc. aka a lot of headaches. As a web developer, I want to see what my users see, not what "developers" see..

Here's a pretty convincing TED talk which makes the point that global poverty has indeed significantly gone down in recent history, especially among developing countries: http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_y...

I got 2,996 in Firefox and 1,277 in Chrome (2013 MacBook Air 13").

Interestingly, Chrome had much worse performance for float32 than float64... yet Firefox had slightly better performance. I guess the Chrome team implemented Math.fround yet none of the optimisations which make it useful!

A heart attack isn't likely to cause an irregular heartbeat (at least not until well after the damage has been done). It's common for heart attacks to cause cardiac conduction anomalies called 'blocks', but these generally don't result in any irregularity of the pulse.
Is turning the wifi off when you leave a security concern or a power thing, like you're running off the grid? I'm just curious, as if it's the former and I had the same concern I'd just limit access to specific MAC addresses and make the access point invisible.
Good luck, and congrats on making it through the woods. Sounds like you are in good hands which makes all the difference.

You are right on the money about calling 911. As men we tend to be slow making the call, and don't want to seem like whiners. I always think of the line from The Edge - "Most people in the wilderness, they die of shame".

Had emergency surgery for aortic dissection myself in february (mentioned it on caffeine thread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8520241). I felt for a moment like someone grabbed my heart, then agonizing back pain took over, and some nausea. But no more chest pain. I really just assumed I hurt my back working out, because I do easily it once a season (though I'm getting older, but am acting younger)

I sort of ruled out heart issues because I did cpr in real life a few days earlier (I'm a fireman with FDNY (though now probably looking at forced retirement)). And took my CFR (EMS-lite) refresher a week before that. Thought it would be a total coincidence it's my heart.

Even though it takes time to heal, 8 months later I have mostly "healed from the healing process", and you will get there in time. In some weird way it is one of the best things to have happened to me too, kind of plants your feet on the ground in the way few things can.

The major post surgery things I had were:

- Chills waking me up at night

- Nerve damage from my shoulder being mis-positioned at some point

- The pericardium being partially removed during surgery lets me hear my heart much more intimately than I'd like to

But all these are way better now. Still have a lot of insomnia still.

Given that I started writing (and still write) webpages with nothing more than a browser and a text editor, I think the "barrier to entry" has always been quite low. It's only if you want to make a full "web app" using JS and all the latest frameworks/libraries/etc. that the complexity becomes overwhelming, and I wouldn't consider that "entry level" anymore; anyone who is doing that sort of stuff should already be well-versed in writing basic static pages.

(And given how unfriendly to deep linking, accessibility, archiving, and sharing these increasingly popular JS-only single-page web apps are, it would be better if more people, including the beginners, stayed with simply styled, accessible and readable, static pages.)
No 911 service here in Kenya :-(
Chrome dev tools now have an emulation mode which makes it easy to watch and measure how your page loads on different connections. Watch that on a slow connection and you can usually see the content loaded and Dom ready events as well as the progressive loading of images, fonts, js etc. Depending on how your page is structured, you will want to pick the event that best matches when the page looks usable.

There are lots of tools for then getting what that event time is for your users. Google analytics and new relic's new browser features make this easy and writing your own code isn't hard. As usual, look at the numbers by percentile and not just mean.

I have another startup idea free for anyone to take and run with.

A simple little box that eats 5V from a USB connection or PoE or whatever and it limits bandwidth to a long term average of perhaps 0.3K. Lets call it 300 baud for old times sake because my first modem was one of the first commercial direct connect 300 baud modems in the early 80s. Go ahead NSA, try to listen to me, my little bandwidth limiting firewall will never speak faster than 300 baud on average so you best be very patient while spying on me for your corporate customers or just to be creepy.

Obviously does nothing for wifi unless you limit your whole wifi connection. Whoops. I'd assume something like this is wired anyway, I don't want to replace batteries every week.

I would also sell one that limits to just a little slower than the slowest youtube video feed with a switch, so during "homework hours" the kids can plagarize wikipedia all they want but can't watch minecraft or unboxing videos on youtube.

I'd like to see a nice web front panel as first choice or as second choice an app, that does some limited sniffy and analysis, and maybe blocking. So if my smart TV suddenly starts talking to .RU or I simply don't want it talking to the mfgr anymore, then I can stop it.
Also, I hope it doesn't get triggered by the neighbor's loud tv set.

Frankly, I'm not sure if I'd be prepared to receive and deal with false positives even once a month, let alone once a day.
I'd like to see it. (my email's in my profile.)

You don't need SRV to have a decentralised web if you have working IPv6. Every site can have its own IP.

In both cases you have to re-deploy a lot of software, but the IPv6 rollout is at least already underway and has another driver in the form of the IPv4 shortage.
My case is a bit different. First I had tooth pain. I went to the dentist pointing him the tooth. He made a radio and said that I could not have pain because this tooth was abnormal and had no nerve. I didn't investigate further. Later I learned that hart pain can be linked to tooth pain.

I later had a huge pain in my elbow. It was as if a big nail was hammered through it. I then went to my cardiologist and he noticed a change in my ECG. I did a ECG under effort and he stopped it after a minute. My ECG became completely crazy under effort. I saw it later. From this point things went as routine work. Got a stent and everything is now ok.

So symptoms my differ. I never had chest pain. Only elbow pain. The tooth pain was also a hint I now monitor. When it hurts I know I have to be careful with what I eat. It then calms down.
Note that dowloading an app (.exe for windows, or an apple app) and running it, is just as bad. Downloading an installer, and running it, is also insecure. So the question is... What is the proper alternative?

I think the best alternatives are appstores such as found on ios and android, right?

However that doesnt really fit for open source. Is the way to install open source software, to download the source and compile it from scratch? Well, thats also risky, you should check the source code first...? But thats undoable.

All in all, it comes down to "trust". Do you trust the website? You dont care about security too much, well, imho then it makes sense to curl | sh.
The main risk after starting to have a heart attack (other than dying)and clearly realizing it, seems to be going into denial and not proceeding immediately to a hospital. That circus lasted almost two hours for me, so by the time the stent cleared the clot I was just on the edge of being on the way out (becoming unconscious). - I even had a smoke in the middle of the two hours before heading to the emergency room!

Next phase was the month to a year as one ponders whether one managed to induce heart failure (enough damage not to pump blood in sufficient quantities) when faced with the tiredness any exertion including rehab seems to induce. The possibility of always being tired IS DEPRESSING. Also there is the "fun" of pains in the area one felt the heart attack pain bringing the question of "am I having another heart attack." And then there are all those stories about how great someone or other felt after having their arteries cleared as if one got a tune up...these stories are B.S. one is looking at about 6 months of not feeling great with any somewhat serious heart attack.

My overwhelming sentiment as the anesthetic set in before they cleared my Widow Maker and inserted a stent was, well, feeling pretty good and the notion there were "worse ways to die," and a certain willingness to go with it if this was it. So I guess I'm not much scared of dying once there.

Mentioning the heart attack is devilish fun in a gathering because most males start to squirm immediately.

There is a disconnect between one feeling fairly back to oneself and other's views of you who has had a heart attack(if they never had one). No one will learn from your example and stop smoking or eating less crap so don't even bother to think so. You'll be lucky if you manage to improve yourself your own bad habits.

After a while one resumes ones devil may care posture towards life with occasional reflective moments on when the
'next one' will be and if there will be a next one(probably).

So as far as great revelations? Not many mostly mundane discoveries. A stent is better than being filleted. Being alive appears better than dead to those of us that are still alive. And next time I feel a heart attack I WILL GET MY ASS TO AN EMERGENCY ROOM ASAP to reduce heart muscle damage that ensues the longer I wait.

Ask HN: What front-end tool do you use to manage web site caches?
I was wondering if there was any drop-in type admin interfaces for managing cache entries on a site.

I have a home-brewed Redis based caching system for which I wanted a GUI to view statistics (cache hits, misses etc) and to find and invalidate entries.

Was wondering if something like this already exists that I can either use or base my tool on?
Agreed, a system with false positives is worse than no system at all imho because it trains you to disregard warning signs.
> The differences do exist, but you could take any 2 Bundesländer and they'd have almost or even more differences to each other, than any western Bundesland has with an eastern one.

There are differences between Bundesländer. But West vs. East has a lot of special differences: ownership, farms, small and medium companies, political views, religion, etc...

For example North and South parts of West Germany differ in religion: protestant vs. catholic. East Germany OTOH has a larger atheist population.

From a long term cultural view, somebody from Rostock is not much different than somebody from Hamburg (where I live). It's just that Hamburg had several decades economic success, and Rostock did not. This affects employment, job opportunities, population development, GDP, etc. The differences between the former East and West Germany are real, even though some are getting smaller. It will take more decades to change things. The equal living standard is a goal. Generally differences are okay and Germany had always states which had their own business/views/traditions - different from countries where there is a more centralized situation (UK/London, France/Paris, ...).
Well that's how developer tools for Firefox started out as (Firebug), however that was also dependent on a plugin API that gave access to all of those things; by building it in natively, the dev tools have access to all of the APIs, not just the ones exposed by the plugin APIs.
