2h··on Four ways to build web apps
I read this entire page, and it doesn't offer what I am wanting at all. I have a localhost server, that I want to deploy so it's publicly accessible, like option 3 in the original article.

3 is the most attractive option to me. I have a tiny localhost server I wrote, and have been looking for a simple way to deploy

did you not see the 20 other go files in that repo?

no, did you even visit the link?

2h··on Opossum: Cross-platform web browser written in Golang, optimized for Plan 9
> At this point in market concentration

as others mentioned, some people don't care about market share. the browsers I use day to day (Firefox, Chrome) are honestly pretty bloated and terrible, so I think others would agree that quality wise, users are starving for something better.

probably dont want to actually use that code...

why does the submitted URL, which is essentially a static page, require running JavaScript from zenfolio.com to even display anything?

> I don't buy, support, or condone DRM'd media

this is good, but it would also be helpful if you supported the anti DRM movement. Some people have developed ways to get around certain DRM such was Widevine, from dumping your own CDM to Widevine proxy. Just ignoring the problem is not going to make it go away. Over the last two years DRM use for streaming content has increased significantly. If you want to really help, I would look into contributing code to these projects, or donations.

2h··on Mozilla solves the Manifest V3 puzzle to save ad blockers
saying Firefox is "better than any other browser on Android" might be true, but it still doesn't make a forced whitelist acceptable. Users should be able to accept the risk and install untrusted addons with a warning. Again, if its an addon that I wrote myself, I should not need Mozilla's approval to install that on my own device.

> The idea of a well-defined extensions interface is not a bad idea.

when I am forced to register on addons.mozilla.org, just to install an extension that I wrote, yes, that is a bad idea.

Give users the option to say "yes, I understand that this is not an 'approved' addon. install it anyway"

2h··on Mozilla solves the Manifest V3 puzzle to save ad blockers
FYI Android Firefox, since version 68, only allows installation of addons that are on a certain whitelist. For custom extensions, they require you to register on addons.mozilla.org, even if you just want to install an extension you wrote yourself.
2h··on Beautiful Binary Search in D
Agree. This just screams of being too clever. It's OK to repeat things sometimes. If you DRY to the point that the code is not even readable, is that really an improvement?

Also I physically shuddered when I saw the word template. Did no one learn from C++ mistakes?

2h··on GitHub Is Down
requests using the "_gh_sess" cookie are failing. If you can remove that cookie, request will work. Of course that means you cant make any authenticated requests, but its a workaround.
2h··on The Janet Language
this is really cool. I love how small it is. with the Windows package for example, you actually only need "janet.exe", which is only 791 KB.

Hmm I use F-droid Fennec daily, and it has the same whitelist of available extensions as regular Firefox. I don't see how to add your own, unless you go through the hoops of enabling debug mode (described elsewhere in another comment)
2h··on Firefox Android now supports Tampermonkey
IceRaven only allows from this list:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/1620123...

so if you wrote yourself, too bad

2h··on Firefox Android now supports Tampermonkey
> Iceraven still has a list of allowed extensions

where is that list?

2h··on Firefox Android now supports Tampermonkey
If this post title sounds weird to you, it should.

Since Android Firefox 68, you cannot install custom extensions, unless you register on AMO. Even if you wrote the extension yourself.

2h··on Firefox Android now supports Tampermonkey
Only if you register with AMO.
2h··on Tesla recalls 360k vehicles, says full self-driving beta may cause crashes
apparently youve never heard the phrase "texting while driving" or "drunk driving"
2h··on Tesla recalls 360k vehicles, says full self-driving beta may cause crashes
I disagree. If someone is a bad driver, and causing crashes, we don't say "we need to improve the road system". We suspend the drivers license until they can prove they are capable of being a safe driver. We should hold this software to the same standard. Until it can demonstrate safety at or above human level, it should be outlawed.

Road systems should always be worked on, but when a crash happens its usually the drivers fault, except in a minority of cases where bad road engineering is to blame. this self driving is fucking up enough that it cannot be blamed on the roads anymore, if it ever could.

2h··on Tesla recalls 360k vehicles, says full self-driving beta may cause crashes
I think recall is just fine. Recall offers no ambiguity in my mind. It means the manufacturer fucked something up, big time. Everything else is just details.

In the current world of forced updates (looking at you Android), the word "update" itself is kind of toxic, and doesn't (and I would argue cant) represent what has happened here, even if its technically more correct.
