I agree with this sentiment, Crystal, for the better, lacks Go's obsession with odd tooling conventions (see vendoring saga) while retaining the ease of use when it comes to actual programming and cross compilation capability.

Wouldn't it be relatively easy to patch it to load settings from an ini file?

Same experience here, the download (yup, singular) listed was not mine. Takes the point of this service away.. apart from seeing what illegal immoral awful crap people apparently download (somewhere.. unless its all completely made up) :/

Simply look under "about:support" tab for Multiprocess Windows to see if enabled or not. You can also force enable it in "about:config" by setting browser.tabs.remote.autostart to TRUE if its not already (note this does circumvent having to disable non-compatible plugins such as Firebug).

Script that stuff with Hammerspoon :)

Thanks, great one-liner!

The whole point of running and using browser apps is that they are guaranteed to be sandboxed - Node.js breaks this sandboxing 100% which makes it more powerful but also inherently a mess security wise. This mess can to a certain extend be accommodated on the server side but certainly not on the client side where code from 1000s of devs will eventually be run without vetting.

Yep, this is not a bad idea but unfortunately browsers do not allow you access to local storage since they do not treat the local filesystem as designated domain paths.. which is completely super annoying & makes offline webapps a very temporal thing since they NEED a domain name cached before you can use them.

Note: based on my experience when hacking around with local app 2 years ago on Chrome and FF so things may have changed?

Greatly appreciate the author giving this topic a shot (purpose/meaning is the grand elephant in room for humanity at large), reading through the introduction I am so far positively surprised - concise and readable. Whether this holds when it comes to the meat of it.. who knows, I'm giving it try.

P.S. a compiled epub &/ pdf would be good (and once you got well formatted epub then the book can go on kdp.amazon.com as a bonus)

Yep, this is the problem, just because its bare metal sys-call wise does not mean it does partial/incremental loading correctly! :/

Honestly very good article - are anyone aware of a similar type of tutorial for OSX that covers small to huge text file editing?

Plus response times are vastly improved on widely deployed things such as Wordpress: https://www.cloudways.com/blog/wordpress-on-php-7-performanc...

Presumably one of the excellent points about using a PowerPC structure is that there is no Intel ME system within it: since the system (X5000) is already marketed as running Ubuntu and Debian (http://www.amiga-shop.net/Amiga-Hardware/New-Amiga-Computers...) there's presumably no reason why it couldn't be certified for Qubes OS and find wider audience!?

Agree, any manufacturer supporting this project would signal that they are serious on the security front.

That would be impossible unless the law itself changes from the way it is currently interpreted:

This response seems knee jerk to me - the actions of Reddit's CEO were made public and the backlash was considerable. As long as we're not running on fully distributed communication services the idea of fully impartial site owners remain hypothetical. I mean: the complaint itself had to be posted/linked on a Google service, another company that I guess should be shunned for being embroiled in various unrighteous actions. Not feasible or reasonable in my opinion.

Yup, I can second that, stable with good feature set.

Did you consider Github or similar for this? Sounds superb and plays exactly into the strength of MS Windows - compatibility and high performance when using Win32 API.

Cold start Opera 40 - 63 seconds

Cold start Opera 41 - 8 seconds

Both values are so much slower than anything recent by Firefox or Chrome..? Who waits over a minute for their browser to start?

I believe it would be an interesting blog post - the amount of sheer "yeah we need xyz tech for more oomph" decisions made within business sector by managers who are not truly capable of judging the implications of said tech is quite something.

On a purely utilitarian note: does this have auto-update functionality?

Does any of the code snippets on the godoc site constitute a fully working example? The sheer amount of library stuff I go through on a daily webdev basis makes me dizzy at times!

I would love to trial on a Macbook Pro 15 Retina that I've got available, anyone has experience with this sort of hardware setup?

Yes, I used backspace to return here after reading the thread (using firefox).

But Vivaldi == "We use JavaScript and React to create the user interface with the help of Node.js and a long list of NPM modules. Vivaldi is the web built with the web.". Which again equals: do I really want to trust that browser knowing how NPM modules are basically the least secure thing ever?

>> Are you genuinely delighted by any Google product these days

I like Google Search, it is good, plain and simple. Regarding any of their other products: for sure no. Gmail works but creeps me out and as an admin, relying on GApps is becoming an increasingly not-fun experience since they rewrite the UI on a biweekly basis while leaving their documentation outdated. Boring and agonizing to have to spent time on something that is essentially easy except for the fact that the settings are hidden in an ever shifting castle of (pixel)sand.

Android for me suffers from the same product instability issues, I much much prefer the potential openness of Android to IOS but I certainly do NOT prefer the overt way Google monetizes their users and after fighting with mediocre Android hardware I've ended up with iphone. Low and behold it works, like, plain and simple style.

Google has the resources, but the focus?!

OK (sources on that being the case?), but the issue then remains that we have no way of knowing whether it is activated or could be activated, is that correct?

One thing, OK, so we have this super fantastic network enabled Java platform running autonomously from within around 3 billion devices across the globe since 2006 with the capability to read everything from the systems they are running completely unnoticed.. shouldn't this generate a FAIR amount of network traffic (and resulting suspicious log files, if not on the computers then on the routers) or am I missing something here?!

>> you can access those machines remotely (even over GSM)

Is this really true? All modern Intel chips come with embedded mobile phone tech to allow remote access? Sources on this?

In that case they failed horribly, knowing what a security nightmare NPM modules are and having that embedded in my browser is 110% turning me off from ever wanting to install Vivaldi on anything that's not securely sandboxed away from the world at large.
