Flott··on Firefox Private Browsing vs. Chrome Incognito: Which Is Faster?
On my mac book pro 2015 and my Mac Mini 2011 I can't watch anything in 1080 (tried Youtube and Twitch) at all with Firefox if I have hardware acceleration enabled. It work just fine in Safari and Chrome will sometime start skipping frames after switching tabs.

I find my web browsing experience on Os X quite bad overall.

Flott··on The fake Facebook profile industry
I totally agree. I used Firefox reader view to read it. It was much better that way!

According to Firefox roadmap, the release is the 14th of november. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Roadmap
Flott··on CBS's Showtime caught mining crypto-coins in viewers' web browsers
Not all computer are built to do heavy computing. My poor Mac mini would probably melt after a few minutes of mining.

This is great, thank you!
Flott··on Other ways to read Hacker News
My favorite way of reading HN is with this dark theme:

It's all I need.

Flott··on Insane state of today's advertising part 3
Privacy Badger is available on Firefox for Android. You might want to take a look at it if you use Android.

Flott··on Swift Local Refactoring
The lack of refactoring was a huge pain when I tried swift in Xcode. I'm glad that the issue is finally getting some attention.
Flott··on Pi and the collapse of peer review
Thank you for the list. It is way longer then I expected. It's also interesting to take a look at the criteria used for the creation of the list.
Flott··on Why Are Human Teeth So Messed Up?
I don't know how frequent kids choking is. All I know is that their gag reflex is pretty powerful and should keep them out of danger (for the most part).

Flott··on Google to add 'news feed' to website and app
And now they're going to copy Bing. It's just so weird.
Flott··on A response to “Why you can't be a good .NET developer” (2016)
IF you have the primary key of the entity that you want to update, EF allow you to attach it to the context without querying the database. After attaching it to the context, you can set the new values, mark them as modified and (finally!) call SaveChanges.

I do agree with you though! Dealing with it's limitations and edge case mean, sooner or later, falling back to SQL.

EF is (imho) very hard to master and very easy to use "badly".

Flott··on List of Sites Affected by Cloudflare's HTTPS Traffic Leak
Same here... And this made me realize how painful it can be to change password on some website.
Flott··on Two Bots chatting with each other
They just entered a loop asking each other to prove that they are not a robot. Then one of the bot crashed!

That went well!

Flott··on Final – A credit card built for the 21st century
IMHO if three sources of leaks are fixed, it is a giant step forward. Not event trying to fixe anything doesn't seem like a better alternative at all.
Flott··on Scaling an exploit like never before!
TLDR, automate fake reviews, make 39k/y out of it. Think you're rich.
Flott··on Ask HN: Are new posts getting less frequent on HN?
I didn't know about the classic view. Thanks for sharing this!
Flott··on Being sued, in East Texas, for using the Google Play Store [video]
Could Google do more then a statement? It can't be good for their business if people are being sued for simply uploading an app to the Play Store.
Flott··on KeePass2 v 2.34 to fix update security problem
AFAK if a conflict occure, it will create a "conflicted copy" of the kdbx file. You still have to merge files manually but no data will be lost in the process.
Flott··on Free VPN integrated in Opera for better online privacy
This is exactly what I fear. It's still a useful service but I believe Opera should say clearly what they do with the data they handle.
Flott··on Free VPN integrated in Opera for better online privacy
"a native, unlimited and free VPN client, right inside your browser!"

Serious question: Money wise, how are they able to afford this?

Flott··on Y Combinator Acquiring Sequoia Capital
And soon Sequoia Combinator will conquer the world!
Flott··on Left-pad as a service
I'm desperately looking for some feedback from big users.

- Does it scale well?

- Is it pragmatic for long term use scenario?

- Is it Thread safe?

- Does it learn from previous call made to the API?

- Does it have a modern access layer?

- Does it enforce 2nd factor authentication?

- Is it compatible with Docker containers?

- What about multi-region scenarios?

- Any benchmark available showing usage with AWS + cloudflare + Docker + a raspberry pi as LDAP server?

Flott··on Visual Studio Code is now open source
It is weird indeed. And it work quite well on Windows 7.
Flott··on Torrent site Kickass.so has domain banned
KA is back to the .to suffix. It's still online.
Flott··on Man saves wife’s sight by 3D printing her brain tumor
Thanks for the reply. You're making a very valid point!

First : Sorry to ear what happened to your mother.

Doctors telling what we want to ear is also a problem! Mostly, I believe, because when something like a brain tumor is threatening your life, you might not want (and know) what is best for yourself. Doctors can be influenced by their patients.

As you stated, the second opinion can be wrong and it is very hard for the patient to know who to believe. I wish everybody could have a little help from a friend with some photoshop & 3d printing skills!

Flott··on Man saves wife’s sight by 3D printing her brain tumor
Wow. Amazing story. Moral of the story : If you can, ask for a second opinion!
Flott··on Schwab password policies and two factor authentication
Yes that's what I meant, thanks.
Flott··on Schwab password policies and two factor authentication
8 digits password...

It sound like DES encryption stored directly in the database. (This is pure speculation of course) This alone is a huge red flag. Adding the fact that the 2 factor auth. is broken is not a good news.
