Interesting. On a haswell i5 with an intel 5000 series GPU it works reasonably on Chrome without any noticeable CPU or memory impact, Firefox stable works pretty well with only slightly more load, Firefox 26.0a1 dies instantly and completely.

The fact that it kills browsers for so many people so completely is a very good indication that this is in no way ready for use by anyone for anything other then "look at this shiny demo!"

Edit: Opera and Safari show nothing at all...

That's the side-show distraction from the actual leak.

Yeah, people are talking about him. That would be fantastic if he was in it for his own personal gain, but he tried to tell the people of the US that their government was over-stepping the line. Being the story is not helping the story he tried to tell.

Outing himself so publicly was one of the worst things Snowden could have done. Doing so before he was already in a country which had guaranteed him political asylum was just idiotic.

A leak like that one really didn't need the figure-head that the identity of the leaker would provide, and given who he was angering it was only going to make his life painful.

A good leak through the right channels doesn't need to be backed by anything. All it needs to do is get the right questions asked to the right people, publicly. If the outlet the leak comes through is trusted enough, it doesn't need the figure head, and it certainly doesn't need a figurehead holed up in an airport in Russia.

That somewhat depends on the mutation rate. I have it set to 20% and the cars are optimizing down to big wheels connected by what can only be described as a bar, which means they can drive in any orientation and are clearing later and later challenges quite effectively.

I was thinking much the same thing. "Yeah, lets review our browser use, and then switch to the browser made by one of the companies pointed to in this whole mess.

Could use a bit of a margin on the bottom of the menu. It tends to sit over the text, either partially or completely which probably isn't really the expected behavior for an edit menu.

Tumblr is, globally, in the top 50 websites by traffic, and in certain major cities it's in the top 20. Yeah, it's mostly full of cats, angst and porn, but the user base is both large and dedicated.

Oh, absolutely, but it's very strongly propaganda, across every state-owned media source (so, all of them) and in all educational material to the point it's accepted as the whole story surprisingly frequently (and not just about the US. Tibet gets the same level of spin but in reverse. Everything is sunshine and rainbows in the mountains, according the the Chinese media and education system)

It's always interesting reading reports on the US through a Chinese media perspective. Stories go round relatively regularly using very carefully selected snippets of news to paint a particularly negative portrait that isn't factually wrong, but so narrowly focused that it misses the overall picture (deliberately)

On the parts really stabbing into US communications monitoring, I suspect the reasoning is so the Chinese government can say "Look, it's even worse in the west!" to cover the extent of their own filters and monitoring (which most Chinese people are only vaguely aware of. Most of them take what they're told by the Chinese government as simple fact, and even when they can see the facts from a less biased perspective still refuse to accept it)

It doesn't matter. Any font deliberately set lighter then normal is hard to read on any device.

No, bugged me too. In fact, nothing on the entire page is actually #FF4A00. The big logo down the bottom is the more muted #ff6122, for example...

Yahoo will buy something that USES this tech, and outsources the actual building as well...

deviantART launches deviantHEART, a dating site for artists: http://www.deviantart.com/deviantheart/

Considering that yahoo immediately killed the product, and that its 1mill total users read 90mill summaries in ~18 months (that's less then 1 a day) I'd say they aren't buying users.

Done and done.

The javascript one is incomplete.

The example I spotted immediately is the extremely useful document.querySelectorAll()[1] which works very much like $('.someSelector') in jquery, but completely native and supported by pretty much everything.

Any reason why you need PHP devs specifically?

So, "Do Not Track", first introduced by firefox and supported in just about all browsers, incognito mode, supported by all browsers (including pre-chrome)...

The market share of IE (and the usage habits of people of both normal and more advanced tech knowledge) points to the fact that people frequently DO use IE (or safari) because it's pre-installed and only change when it just happens (chrome getting installed and set as default by various other installers being a good example)

Firefox is more standards compliant on the CSS front then...any other browser, actually.

Firefox really needed the release of chrome to kick it back into gear because it had stagnated to some extent, easy in its "we're better then IE and that's all that really matters" mediocrity, and swapping over to the rapid release schedule has just accelerated things.

The fact that mozilla actively fights for internet freedom and user privacy is just the delicious icing on a technically solid browser cake.

Or the billion dollar purchase of instagram.

People hear "A billion dollars" and immediately want in to whatever got someone that much money.

10 miles seems pretty low to me. I can easily get double that giving it 2.66 kg.mi/C

Please don't use #444 for body copy. Anything lighter then about #222 (which typeplate has used throughout their own site) is just too low contrast on light backgrounds.

All of them except Opera (though webkit needs the -webkit- prefix on calc())

Doesn't work properly in firefox, either. Not optimizing for mobile is fine. Yeah, it'd be nice, but it is an "extra" thing. having content cutting off in a major desktop browser on a large (1920x1200) screen? No excuse.

edit: Doesn't work in opera either, but it's not as bad.

In Australia we have number portability and while we have contract subsidized phones they are legally required to be free and simple to unlock. For an iPhone, for example, you just run the reset in iTunes and the phone's unlocked.

See, this is why we have so many problems on the web. People targeting one specific browser and completely ignoring the rest despite it working perfectly fine in all of them if they just stopped to include some other prefixes.

DON'T make apps for chrome. Hell, don't make apps for FirefoxOS either. Make apps for the web. Make them work everywhere, and stop trying to make "one render engine to rule them all" happen, because it's bad for the whole ecosystem.

Check those dates more closely ;)

It was exactly 31 days later, but still on a reasonable schedule for a monthly backup. Either the backups where disabled or the staff don't trust the backups they do have (though that seems unlikely, given that it would allow them to recover the content offline without having to execute any of the backing code)

An equally hackish alternative would be to have a floated div way off screen using the font to force loading (works for image carousel pre-loading too, but with a pretty obvious load time hit)
