This morning, I updated Firefox to 23.0. But when I click it, it didn't start.I followed solution from Support of Firefox, then it worked well from Terminal but still not worked from clicking icon.hence I uninstalled Firefox and deleted profile, and turn to Chrome.But I really want to be back to Firefox, what should I do then?

Re:Ask HN: Why Firefox 21 takes more RAM? on Tuesday May 21, 2013 @11:31PM (#5748702)
Here is Hacker News and I think people here may prefer Firefox, Chrome to other web browsers.

And thank for your information, I will ask Firefox Support Forum later.

Ask HN: Why Firefox 21 takes more RAM?

I updated Firefox to 21.0 yesterday, but it seems it takes more RAM than before.When I boot it, it takes 400MB memory but in fact I don't install much add-ons.I want to get some solutions and wander why it happens? Something to do with memory managements?I run Firefox on Mac OSX 10.8.3, I have 4GB RAM.

Re:Ask HN: What Should I Do With Xcode? on Friday March 29, 2013 @09:38AM (#5460616)
I code Common Lisp and Scheme in Emacs, Python in Vim.

I just want to try C programming, after I'm good at C, I may turn to Emacs.

Ask HN: What Should I Do With Xcode?

Yesterday, I wrote some codes in C, just to develop myself. I wrote and pressed Run, I wrote and pressed..Then I found the memory I can use is less and less. Even I closed Xcode, the memory wasn't back on its feet.I have 4G memory. So I wander, what's wrong with it? It's my fault or something else? And what should I do?

Re:Ask HN:Any biohacker here? I want to get help. on Thursday March 14, 2013 @10:28AM (#5375141)
When I visited DIYbio.org, I tried to get in their email list, i.e. group/diybio.. But due to the GFW, I can not see the page. Thus I was so sad.

And thank you for the last line. I do agree what you said, and it's what I think as well.

BTW, it's hard to balance schoolwork with interests, the school doesn't encourage students to discover and do what they really enjoy. I've tried my best, I'm learning Latin as well.

Re:Learning Emacs, any tips or tricks, best tutorial? on Wednesday March 13, 2013 @11:42AM (#5369166)
Emacs tutorial itself is a nice start for you.

I'm a senior high student, so I don't think I can do some work in a biology lab - even I want to do. And I don't think the school biology lab does not have enough tools for what I want.

As I said, I'm in China. Thus I don't think there are some hacking spaces and people who have a lab or something like Biohacking spaces.

Thank you for replying, I've visited some websites about biohacking, they're in USA and/or Europe, but I live in China. So I want to know some basic information. Of course I want to meet people who are good at biohacking.

Hi you guys, recently I've read the book (DIY Scientists Hack the Software of Life). And then I have a deep interest in biohacking. I'm a coding amateur. So here are my questions:1, Is it hard to become a biohacker? Need a lot of knowledge of biology?2, Do I need buy something really matters? Like something to do PCR and cell culture. If so, how much it will take?Very eager to get your reply.

Re:Ask HN: How to use Firefox better? on Tuesday February 19, 2013 @11:52PM (#5249031)
I just wander why Firefox always takes more memory for no reason-Even I keep the same pages.
Re:Ask HN: How to use Firefox better? on Tuesday February 19, 2013 @10:50PM (#5248832)
Yes, I always see "about:memory" and minimize memory usage. My machine doesn't run out because of Firefox, but yesterday it took nearly 1G RAM. I have 4GB RAM.
Re:Ask HN: How to use Firefox better? on Tuesday February 19, 2013 @10:44PM (#5248811)
thanks for replying, and I know Chrome separates its processes. And I just wander sometimes Firefox use the same memory when I open 4 or 8 pages. Even it uses more memory for no reason(e.g. I open 2 pages, but it will increases).

Recently I use Firefox for my web browsing, but it seems that Firefox "eats" a lot of memory. I am on Mac(10.8.2), sometimes it can take 400MB or more.I don't install much add-ons. And before I use Chrome.And I alse wonder why Firefox always take so much memory? because the memory management doesn't work well or something else?

how did you know everyone uses virtualized server environments on mulit-core machines..
Re:So what happened to the HN server? on Monday February 18, 2013 @08:08AM (#5237986)
I think it may need some time to adapt the new server.
