addons do not use npapi, so vimperator, ublock, tab mix plus, etc will still work

that's terrible. 10% is far too high

The one thing I know how to do really well with ZFS is get confused by the extended ACLs!

I was there in may, Cuba was already connected. Its just another "look at how good America is making Cuba" article.

"I wouldn't write anything big in <insert language>" is pretty much always a true statement. What changes it is the framework.

I can write a web application in some homebrew <insert language> and it can grow to 40 developers, 1000 db tables and thousands of files. But it would be terrible to work on (I know I've seen it). Or i can write the same thing with a framework, and have it much more manageable.

Realistically, when was the last time you say down and wrote a big application in vanilla <insert language>?

so the hash of the password becomes the password. i don't see the gains tbh

I wouldn't call imgur highly available. More like highly unavailable.

I still can't believe Soylent is a thing. What is wrong with food? People who want this make no sense to me. None at all.

Is this news? Because I've always assumed the tests are very biased. my car says it can get 70mpg in extra urban, yet it gets 54 max, I knew 70 was a lie when I bought it. Same with the tv, light bulbs, fridge and so on. In no way is any of it real world efficiency.

we're all allowed to change our minds. it's a good thing

I write perl everyday, I never use this stuff.

They're not in my phone, I don't use facebook on it.

Very interesting. I'm always (ab)using cat for this, and I keep meaning to stop, but I forget. After seeing this I'll definitely stop.

Thanks!

or, here's a crazy idea, I keep adblocking, and keep my money?

I adblock not to block ads, but for privacy. I don't like being tracked, and using contributor won't fix that

On accident is one of those American sayings that sounds weird to my English ears. Like poop. where did the second p come from???

That said, I think our dialects are merging, (well more likely British English is becoming Americanised, but you guys make all the tv, so that's to be expected), for example, when I was younger no one said "ass", it was always "arse", but nowadays it's nearly always "ass"; except for the older generations.

But, we have the same problem within the UK, in the north, we have three meals, breakfast, dinner and tea. In the south they have breakfast, lunch and dinner. It can be very confusing, especially in films when someone invites someone round for tea, but there's no food and it's 1pm!

hmm, that's a very good point. but my point is still valid, since i'm not a spy... or am i? ;)

so it's mod_perl, but javascript and nginx instead of apache and perl. seems like they've ignored history here, as mod_perl turned out to be a bad thing in the end, people messing with bits they really shouldn't leading to massive amounts of unmaintained legacy spaghetti code messing with all parts of apache.

bearing in mind mod_perl's original use was not for writing applications, it was for messing with apache, for doing the things you can't easily do in the config. but where there's a way, abuse will follow, and before you know it whole apps will be written with this

ah well, those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

so, while it may seem like a good idea now, you can bet in 5-10 years it will no longer look so clever

I leave my fingerprints everywhere I go, so it's one of the least worrying things to have stolen.

most drug research is done in university anyway, and in most countries government funded. big pharma does the part after that in order to get it to market. trials and tweaks etc

I was thinking is there a micro-kernel out there that uses VTx to separate the parts, like protected mode on steroids, turns out there is. Thought I'd share

I'd quite like to see the NT kernel with gnu userland, and unixy virtual filesystems.

There's no denying the NT kernel is an excellent piece of engineering.

I don't know about conflicting branches, but sqitch didn't like out of order migrations, even if they have nothing to do with each other. The authors response is for the developer with the issue to revert back to a sane point and then redeploy, which is not suitable if you've spent a hour filling that table with data!

I used to use sqitch. It drive me mad, it wants to do too much. I have got for version control, I don't need sqitch to do it as well. And it doesn't play nice with other developers. If you add migration a in one branch, and someone adds migration b in another, then they merge theirs before yours, you're in for a world of pain whne you try to delpoy yours.

In the end I wrote a replacement that did was I needed in under 100 lines of perl. DB management should be simple. No point over complicating it

Not forgetting the guy who writes it is not that friendly, we sent a patch to change the default answer to revert to no, instead of yes. First off he said it was useless, then after some prodding over several months he copied it in and committed it in his name, no mention of where it came from. Real classy

I am looking forward to this. The way I see it, it's all preparation for servo.

And I'm sure the extensions to the webextensions api will provide enough to do what needs to be done

It says "pute" is fine, but google translate says otherwise…

edit: I submitted it

Excellent, that's what I wanted to hear! Thanks

It doesn't mention addon permissions, which I would assume is something WebExtensions has, since that's how addons work in chrome. At least I hope this is the case, lack of permissions in firefox addons is a little scary, and probably one of the reasons I have the minimum addons installed

Anyone have more info on this?

Cameron doesn't want to ban encryption. he wants encrypted end to end messaging services to have backdoor keys for the security services use. which is stupid, but very different to banning encryption.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not in favour of this, but the distinction is clear and false misinformation isn't going to help prevent this.

sounds like something that soylent guy would do!
