Nope, our standards position on that is still negative, for one thing.

Hopefully it will just work, if not please file a bug! I tested with a variety of hardware and sites but of course I couldn't try everything...

Yup! Arduino is one of the things I tested with. (I worked on this for Mozilla)

(I submitted a PR for caniuse a few days ago :-) https://github.com/Fyrd/caniuse/pull/7523 )

As others have said, you'll get a dialog if any site actually tries to use this. But if you want to fully turn it off, just set "dom.webserial.enabled" to false in about:config (and restart Firefox)

Many more addons are now available on Android, and any extension can make itself available there (as of this month): https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/new-extensions-youll-lov...

To be fair the blog posts have original intros that often give more context about what prompted him to write about that topic at that time.

The author just wrote an article about this as well - https://dynomight.net/no-soap-radio/

I'm guessing like Mt. Gox, the former bitcoin exchange that halted trading and eventually shut down.

Thanks! Just gave this a try and it didn't seem to help, but I'll remember for next time :-)

Yup, that makes a lot of sense - I didn't realize Python cached so many previous regex's, which is nice!

I did use cprofile a while back and I think at the time it showed a lot of time in the regexp matching. (I don't think I posted about it though) Honestly, once I implemented the parallelism I got less motivated to make it faster. But now I am kinda curious what the speed difference is between Rust and Python if I spend time trying to optimize both.

Thanks for the suggestions!

OP here. I went ahead and tried using the slicing instead of startswith() a few places, and moving the regexes out to module variables. (thanks for the suggestions!) It did speed up, but just a little bit (from ~32 secs to ~31 secs).

I may try changing the "not doneParsingEvent" checks into something that uses "continue", I'd imagine that would probably help. (although the Rust code is structured the same way) Another thing I've considered is looking at the data and figuring out which cases are more common and checking for those first...

Another thing I considered is

Yes - with Android Pie and above you can add a "Lockdown" option to your Restart/Shutdown menu, see https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/quickly-disable-finge...

You can also just restart the phone - at least on mine you can't login for the first time after a restart with a fingerprint.

The Tech Solidarity guide at https://techsolidarity.org/resources/security_key_gmail.htm has detailed instructions on how to set up 2FA with U2F and then remove SMS 2FA. (I've been holding off because I use Firefox - hopefully U2F will get more support soon!)

I'm not sure - most mutual funds include that in their returns, but I'm not sure if stock prices/indexes do.

I liked this chart so much I made my own version that adds options for non-inflation adjusted and dollar-cost averaging instead of lump sum investment: https://gregstoll.com/~gregstoll/stockmarketreturns/

I assume it's a measure of the amount of malnutrition.

I wish he had acknowledged the role of good luck. Clearly, he worked hard to get where he is, but how many other comics have done the same?

(I don't know much about the comedy business, though...maybe there just aren't many people who put in as much time as Louis C.K.)

It's in the graphic attached to the NYT article. It's also near the bottom of the Tesla post.

On my Lenovo laptop, there's a BIOS setting to swap them, which I was very happy to find!

You can do the same thing - pressing the Start key does bring up the Metro UI, but if you just start typing there it does the same sort of search for apps/files/etc. that Windows 7 does.

I'm a paid user of WorkFlowy and love it...now if it only worked in the browser on Windows Phone!

NewsBlur is great - thanks conesus! Bought a subscription a few months ago and it's worked great for me.

Still doing some maintenance on webOS for now (firesale TouchPads have been a nice shot in the arm...plus the fact that Palm decided to give a bunch of promo codes away for one of my apps!) but I'm working on an Android app for now and probably Windows Phone after that.

If webOS hardware comes back, I'd love to develop more apps for webOS, though.

Here's a good thread with patches to apply:

I believe the spec is 1GB of RAM.

I don't think he meant more important than the holiday itself, but more important than the fact that the markets are closed today, with respect to how Apple's stock price fares.

I used Bloglines for a long time, and finally switched away a year or two ago after the lack of innovation and some frustrating problems got to me.

It's sad that Google is the only real game in town when it comes to web-based RSS readers - anyone know of any others?

My respect for how hard it is to convert from .pdf to HTML just went waaaay up. Scribd must have really thought displaying in HTML5 was worth a lot of trouble if they went to all this effort to be precise!
