This is horrifying. We shouldn't be encouraging device makers to create random bits of new css syntax to cover their weird viewports.

This got my hopes up that flex-basis: content was working in more places.

Related to this is the question of any data migrations as part of those architectural decisions.

Especially if the "right" model in the end isn't really compatible with the first, wrong one and you can't afford to mess up the data.

If you want to make it explicit, you can set up Hangouts to move your actual phone number to a separate "account" for only SMS, which leaves the only phone number from your gmail as your GV number.

It's worked pretty well for me, at least on Android. The Hangouts replacement for the web client is garbage, though.

I've never liked Chrome's, but I've been trying to go with native dev tools only on this machine and so far it's gone really well.

Considering a resizable cmd with real copy/paste support is part of Windows 10, I'm cautiously optimistic.

A large number [citation needed] of Windows apps that have done this are things that most users would want to run in the background, primarily things like instant messaging clients, music players, and daemon-y programs (torrents come to mind).

There's frequently a setting to configure if it truly closes or not, but it's not usually there for more mass-market targeted apps (death by settings and configuration options to support being the likely cause).

But they aren't. I'm pretty sure I've owned multiple machines that couldn't POST in the time it takes my current desktop to be at a usable state, and I have more on-die L2 cache than my first desktop had RAM.

The past was full of a lot more paging to disk and it was awful. I mean, sure, things haven't progressed as much as they could I suppose, but I also don't know the last time I had to wait 5-10 minutes for a computer to shut down.

It does now--older versions did not.

Most of the comments against it here are in this same line. If the concept of NoScript even vaguely makes sense to you, or you've even heard the words "window manager" together, you're probably not the target audience.

I'll admit that most of these things (especially no settings) would make it a no-go for me, but I can definitely think of some relatives that I would love to stick on it and then not have to worry about them again.

It hadn't even occurred to me that it might be causing my issues (minor annoyances so I didn't even think to report them, as a pentadactyl and vimium user I'm used to stuff randomly breaking).

I'll have to remember to disable it on newsblur.

Webm's definitely been getting some traction as a replacement, if 4chan's support is anything to go by.

For the most part, the quirks are consistent, though.

I mean, it's not intuitively consistent, but basically there are navigation controls with or without having a selection cursor on the main screen (which is usually where the difference is, since navigation and some of the selection keys overlap).

If you look through the keybindings, there are "move selector / cursor" options and then secondary options for all of those, and that's more or less what they map to.

It's why I do use adblockers. I try to disable them on sites that don't do anything nearly this scummy, which is frustrating because stuff like Paint.net I otherwise want to support.

"The new PC drivers will enable the Xbox One controller to be used with any game that featured gamepad support for the Xbox 360 controller"

Sounds like compatibility is fine? Honestly, I'm okay with the 360 pad support taking over--Almost every controller had a standard button layout, but with the buttons oddly numbered from controller to controller. Newer controllers all mapping to 360 buttons has simplified everything.

It's sad that my original Logitech DualAction isn't quite as useful, but the newer models have had so many fewer issues when it comes to just using them in a game.

I had no idea this is a thing, which is.. surprising to say the least. That explains a lot of what I thought were crashes, but wow is that user hostile.

I'm really hesitant to say Firefox gets it "wrong" even if it is inconsistent.

That's not actually surprising--it's really easy to have a 1500+ line long POM with how verbose it is. Depending on how many maven modules there are, I could see 50k pretty easily.

This is the recovered pool that's finally running out, so short of reclaiming something drastic like the class A block 10 (you know, a really really bad idea), dang.

Anyone know what IPv6 adoption is looking like these days? Google is showing like 3% of their connections are native to it [1], which does not look promising.

Have the server inject the javascript into the page?

This actually took long enough to load (25 seconds?) that at first I wondered if the loading animation was the referred-to art.

The actual art is interesting, but ouch.

I believe Mozilla does manage Firebug, but the reason it isn't integrated as the main set of tools has to do with Firebug being much slower on complex pages?

I just like its defaults more. Not trying to autocomplete files, not trying to be pretty instead of fast, and more consistently working how Vim does in general (along with just other tiny interface things). I can use Vimperator , I just prefer to not.

Pentadactyl is unfortunately messing with userChrome itself (shrinking size of tab bar), which the devs really should not do across the board (it breaks a lot of unrelated addons).

Which I hate to say as a diehard Pentadactyl user.

I use Pentadactyl with it just fine in the Aurora channel and have since it first landed.

Part of the problem, though, is that the guys at Pentadactyl messed with userChrome.css as part of the newest pentadactyl builds, which causes a TON of issues with other addons (especially anything that adds a toolbar). Vimperator doesn't do it, but ew Vimperator, so.

The built in dev tools are really quickly catching up to and passing Firebug in some areas--I'm not sure how far they are in 29, but in the Aurora/Nightly channels they've just about made me uninstall Firebug (so far, old habits are still dying hard, though).

If I remember right, this is an (optional) potential setting on the UI roadmap.

It may never happen--It's a research engine, not necessarily something that's going to replace Gecko anytime soon.

I'm not familiar with Coverity, but Sonar (for the Java world) is very similar in concept and will fail to detect things if there are enough issues before it in a file...

Which I would HOPE is not the case here.

His last interview was the point where I started to call for it, as he buried his head in the sand with everything that's happened.

I'm not sure who this new company is going by the name of Microsoft, but I'm glad they seem to be running things now.
