Complete list of mistakes in the design of CSS: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference Just kidding. To me the biggest mistake was the standards' slowness in the early 2010s to provide badly needed…
Pix has really spurred up small local businesses. It's so much easier to buy digitally from local stores now, or even just a person starting up a business because it required no setup, no fees or anything. If I need to…
Yeah it still needs a malicious person to run the attack of course, but it's a different attack vector. Phishing consists of making the user believe they are in a different website than they are at. Most of the time,…
Nope, it's much more insidious than that. The user is already on your website, which could be a legitimate website with a malicious owner. If you look at the screenshot, it's a perfectly valid interpretation for a non…
The point about the newer Bialettis being cheaper is absolutely true. My mother has an old (>10 years) Moka that feels heavy and sturdy. A couple of years ago, after accidentally leaving it on the stove for too long,…
Has Nintendo ever talked about how they do software development? Can we all drop the thousands of books that have been written about software engineering in general and just figure out what they do? Game aside, the…
His GeoGuesser videos are great not just for the guesses, but also for the witty commentary and random chit-chat. But his other contents are even better. Great writing and narrative style. The 5-video series "How not to…
What I really like about Wordle is that the very reason that all of these fun and interesting math analysis are being done on it is due to the entire corpus being easily accessible there in the code. It's not something…
A long time ago in Internet time, Justin Frankel (creator of Winamp) created a tool for live music collaboration that approached this problem in a very different way. Basically what it does is that it _adds_ delay for…
The thing that boggles my mind is that the only affected users are: (a) - Firefox users && (b) - who downloaded their messaging history on a buried menu option in the account page && (c) - in the last 7 days prior to…
how does the bokeh look for a cropped portrait? can you get a reasonably shallow depth of field with such a wide lens?
Can you check in about:config if the pref security.enterprise_roots.enabled is being set to true?
Thanks for testing e10s! There's a simpler a better way to test it though, which is just setting `browser.tabs.remote.autostart` to true. These prefs that you mentioned won't stick (they will be reset after startup) and…
I'm curious to know why is this a hardware fix. The problems on my mid-2012 mbp only started after the upgrade to Yosemite, and this seems to be the case from many reports on forums out there.

Anyone has info on what are the blockers for allowing it to run on other browsers?
The announcement explains that Firefox continues free of any DRM code, and users who want access to it will have to explicitly opt-in to download it.
One of my favorite blog posts from Joel Spolsky talks about this, basically explaining how these formats come to be. For mega-softwares like those, the source code is the de facto file spec…

For this feature, there will also be an option to enable plugins for websites that have them hidden such as Pandora. And in addition it will be possible to whitelist/blacklist websites.
