Your HN profile says you are in the Bay Area. If Oakland is within reach, we run a free coworking session every Tuesday afternoon. It is primarily social in nature(with occasional "everybody is busy" days). [0]

More generally, I try to make my daily routine get me out of the house before I turn on the computer. That is, either I go out of the house and go to the gym, then work when I come back, or I go out of the house and sit down at a coffeeshop and work for two-to-four hours, then go to the gym, then come back. Changing locale tends to matter a lot to me, even if I'm not actually social while I'm out.

Where I work we use SonarQube [1] for static code analysis. You can customize specific rule profiles for different projects and in the site they say it's available for many programming languages [2]. We only use it for Java so I don't know how good is the support for the other languages listed.

My experience with these tools is that they are a great way to see how the code evolves during a project, help you keep it clean in maintenance mode, and may even teach you a couple of things about good coding practices. Just don't let it fall into the hands of management. They will love all those metrics and graphs, and soon enough you will have goals and performance reviews based on it.

I am not sure about liking it being another incarnation of Chrome inside though.
This monitor would make it a lot easier for me to fall asleep at night! The bluish light from normal monitors supresses melatonin, and thus disturbs sleep - making it hard to fall asleep at night, and hard to get up in the mornings...
This is cool. Congratulations on launching. I'll be interested in the pro version I reckon when you get around to launching it.
Not only that, but unnecessarily using JavaScript means higher CPU burn, more memory allocation, and subsequently greater battery depletion. One of these days I'm going to make a database of web site carbon footprints...
You do realise that node.js is basically just V8 right? You kind of need a Javascript runtime for your browser anyways.

Chrome and FF had a decent amount of memory leaks "despite" being written in C++

Perhaps I'm being dense in not seeing the issue here? It seems like a relatively minor mistake which turns the card from "obscenely good value for money" into "very good value for money".

Generally I buy hardware based on performance, not on technical specifications. This is certainly normal purchasing behavior for a CPU (a 3.0GHz Intel beats similarly specced 3.0GHz AMD almost always), so I'm surprised to hear people buy GPUs based on whatever obscure number they've been told to care about.
Academic and journalistic writing is not supposed to hold the poetry of Biblical verse.
Chill out dude; it's only a browser.
I don't like it either. I mean it wouldn't bother me that much, it's not a dealbreaker, but it's the kind of minor thing that would prevent me from switching to this browser unless it offers something genuinely advantageous over the existing solutions.

But, just fyi, you can switch off the color changing. At least in this preview release.
Sort of - with any card, you will never get that full amount because of the operating system, which is likely using GPU memory (additionally, applications such as your web browser are likely using the memory as well). On the other hand, you can exceed the amount of GPU memory (using virtual memory, either via the drivers or a hand-made solution), but depending on the amount of thrashing it can slow things down greatly.
Hmm, so it's not Open Source? So it's not a community effort? So the developers are paid? Then how are these expenses earned back?
The times had changed. Semantic Web is dead. Nobody anymore gives a damn about that, everyone's drunk the kool-aid of webapps.

Everyone used to hate Flash, but it's perceived as normal when the pages are bundled a good chunk of rendering/layout engine to run inside your browser engine. Can't track you and serve you advertisements with plain hypertext documents, duh.
Unbelievable. Might as well hand over data of user so they can be tortured and confined by certain countries intelligence/security bodies if it means keeping the user page views up.

Basically, it looks like it's going to be Opera on the Chrome engine, but with the return all the cool unique features Opera ditched when they switched engines a little while back. And hopefully managed by a group that has the spirit from Opera's good old days.

The idea of a VM is that it provides an iron box which nothing can break out of, because it's completely invisible. There's nothing a guest can do which could possibly distinguish a VM session from running on the bare hardware. Partly this is for compatibility, partly for ease of development (develop the next VM as a guest in the current VM!), and partly for simple security: You can't escape a prison if you are utterly convinced you're already out.

Maybe that part of the theory never made it into practice.
The issue here is not GP's browsing experience. It's the fact that they failed to address such an elementry UX usecase that should not have occured in the first place; eithrr degrade gracefully or use a noscript tag. This failure is unacceptable if they are the same folks who are working on the web browser, seeing that its UVP is mostly UX.

It's cool that you use a lot of open source projects. But some of them are under licenses that require the user to be able to download their source code, and it's not obvious right now where (for instance) your Webkit code is. You should probably fix that.

This kind of defeatism is not helpful. Through history people were able to eventually overthrow much more brutal oppressors. The kind coercion used in western societies might appear to be more effective, but there is no reason to think that direct political action could not work. When it happens, like in the case of the occupy movement, you can see by the media reaction, how uncomfortable it is for the powerful.

Your suggestion of a democratization of spy programs is actually one of the premises of "The Circle", the book is meant to paint a dystopian future.

The first time I'd heard of hikikomori was in Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
The reliability thing is the big issue though. It should be possible to scale that transputer system down to the equivalent of a couple of smartphones by now, but the luxury brand car manufacturers are still very reluctant to add anything automatic to their autos. For about 3 years they're parking automatically, and for a year or so they follow the current track on the road, yay. That's far from what they did in 1996.

Having that test strip will help sort out the issues, increase confidence and through that, increase political will to sort out liability issues and so on.

Even Mercedes is now promoting autonomous vehicles with "you may have better things to do on the road" (at CES, I think). That was completely unheard of even two years ago (where they pretty much dismissing the Google effort because it spoils the "fun of driving" and who would want that?)

So yes, Google plays a big part in that current effort by pushing these companies to do what they're able to.
Just like Tesla makes everyone else consider electrical cars now, even though there were concepts of that going back to the early 90s (and mass produced electrical cars in the early 20th century).

Both demonstrate that the time is right, and now the others want to be part of that, without becoming reliant on those new-comers. Markets at work.
If they can't write a web page, why should I trust them to write a browser?
"A new browser for our friends", as in the developer community? That seems like a lot of effort to build a browser for a very small group of users.

The sad truth of browsers is that most people use whatever comes on their machine. A lot of times that would be IE - lots of people I know/companies in the UK still use IE out of a lack of knowing any better. Some more savvy users will use Chrome/FF but that's because they realise it has a lot of benefits over IE or are shamed into not using IE.

This doesn't really offer any 'wow' features that entice me as a web developer to try it, so your average user is even less likely to try it. And really, when making a browser, your target needs to be the masses because otherwise no web dev is going to support your browser if it requires even the tiniest of special treatment in their code.

"People who consider themselves hikikomori exhibit a wide range of symptoms, including depressive, autistic and obsessive-compulsive tendencies. A minority appear addicted to the Internet"

That's strange, I always thought Internet was the main cause of this problem. I've imagined hikikomori as those in S. Korea or Taiwan who die of exhaustion while playing online few days straight.
I don't think that answers his question.

It has nothing to do with the OS, browsers, virtual memory or trashing but it has to do with the fact that 3.5G of the 4G is directly available but the remaining 512M is only accessible through an indirect (and therefore slower) path as per the article.

In an interview with digi.no, they speak of feeling abandoned by Opera when they switched to their new chrome version, and that they weren't alone. Maybe that's their friends. Old Opera 12 users.

Excellent article, and it calls to mind this article I saw on the LA Times website recently: http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-0115-zuckerman-se...

I like to describe myself as being vaguely 'militantly agnostic'[1] ("I don't know, and you don't either," as one of my favorite bumper stickers reads), and so this quote from the OP resonates with me:

But I wondered if she hadn’t swung too far in

inquiry with religion-haters and then dismissing
it entirely.

>You do realise that node.js is basically just V8 right?

Aside from the fact that I don't need a goddamn 400MB runtime running all the time, the major problem is that node.js (and javascript, by extension) are awful tools for anything desktop related. (Server related too, but that's more a personal opinion that node.js is cancer (hi ted)).

Performance has never been up to par with C/C++ (no, testing a 100 line script is not a valid bench. No, comparing it against awful code is not a valid bench either. Which kinda invalidates 90% of node benchmarks.). But sure, let's trade a bit of performance for ease of use, I'm all for it. Except when that tradeoff implies using javascript, whose warts are known by anyone sensible. Having a single threaded architecture for a browser, which should basically be running one process/thread per tab is an error we shouldn't be doing anymore in 2015. I sure love one tab crashing my entire browser(hi firefox). Which I managed to do quickly with Vivaldi, but I can understand that it's still a beta.

Also, let's ignore the OS's native UI libraries because atom-shell/whatever-desktop-lib-they-use chose to render the entire thing as a DOM because reasons.

>Chrome and FF had a decent amount of memory leaks "despite" being written in C++

Nowhere did I hold Chrome and Firefox in high regards when it comes to memory usage. Chrome seems to think that allocating 4GB of memory for 20ish tabs is a good idea. Firefox is a bit better but has this slight tendency to leak memory like crazy.

tl;dr: browsers suck but that's not a reason to write one in fucking javascript

As long as I know who is doing it, and where, I've got no problem with that - because then I can do something about it, like track the person down and ask them why they're doing it.

But of course its not as simple as that - of course there are still nefarious no-good types out there who would use this information to their advantage - and thats exactly the problem we have with the secrecy. If I knew who was tracking me, because their activity is also open and available for scrutiny, it makes it a lot easier to do something effective in the circumstance that I disagree with their doing so; it may also help me find others who are interested in the same things as me. Its a two-edged sword.

To be fair, the people who build the website probably aren't the same who build the browser.
Tried it out, there are some problems with handling local hostnames. Tried visiting my localhost webserver but have to specify http:// every time, even if I'm already on the site and just append something to the url it'll redirect me to google unless I first prepend http://. It's rather annoying considering I only edited the already loaded URL. It's easily a deal breaker from a developer stance point.

Clearly not, as statistics show that IE is no longer the most popular browser in any country in Europe.

If it's actively removing the http:// when you type it yourself, yes, I can see that. But then from a developer standpoint it only makes so much sense to develop using a browser with basically zero market share.
"A new browser for our friends", as in the developer community?

The "Opera community" is, or was, a thing. Opera spent years cultivating an actual community around their users, with forums and chat and social networking features galore. Then they shut it down last year.

The Vivaldi folks have also started Vivaldi.net, which appears to be an attempt to keep that community going elsewhere now that Opera has essentially axed everything that made people love them in favor of being an also-ran Chromium fork.

MRU Tab Switching out of the box. Didn't expect that now that some shitty browsers (Chrome) can't even have it via extensions. I will never understand why someone intentionally removed ctrl+tab functionality from their browser (it's completely useless feature as "select tab to the right").

So I'll keep an eye on this for sure. Even though there are lots of missing features and couple of bugs that I noticed right out of the box. I hope they'll get to the point where they can maintain their own version of Blink, to get rid of some stupid choices they made (text selection for example).
