mavroprovato··on Firefox 94
Maybe then this is more to your liking? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/panorama-tab-...

(I too don't know how Chrome tab groups work)

mavroprovato··on Show HN: Nyxt Browser 2.0.0
If I'm not greatly mistaken, there is no way to embed Gecko in a desktop application right now
mavroprovato··on JDK 10: General Availability
Java 11 will be the next LTS, see here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html

So if you care about long term support, you should stay on JDK8

The article is on the Google Cloud Platform Blog. What would you except, an honest and unbiased review?
mavroprovato··on The Dutch Reach: Clever Workaround to Keep Cyclists from Getting “Doored”
> I do that - seems obvious to me, but I'm also a cyclist.

You don't have to be a cyclist. Another car may be coming and rip your door off. I think that using the mirror should be obvious to any driver

> That said, when I'm in the back seat, I'm not sure if I do anything to avoid dooring.

You could turn your head 180 degrees and look behind you I guess

mavroprovato··on Security update for IntelliJ-based IDEs v2016.1 and older versions
I'm behind a firewall, doesn't this mean I'm safe?
mavroprovato··on Study: Some car models consuming around 50% more fuel than official results
Why "some" was removed from the title?
mavroprovato··on Shaky: ASCII Diagram to PNG
To each his own then I guess. Some may enjoy aligning pipe symbols and pluses, I don't.

Gore Quests? Are you sure? :-)
mavroprovato··on Why doesn't Windows recognize a USB device plugged into another port? (2004)
He means this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Linux#Version_history
mavroprovato··on Why doesn't Windows recognize a USB device plugged into another port? (2004)
To be fair, newer versions of Windows are much better in autodetecting devices when compared to XP.
mavroprovato··on Africa Dwarfs China, Europe and the U.S
...and by Europe it means Europe minus Nordic countries, part of Russia and most of ex-Soviet states.

mavroprovato··on Yahoo Open-Sources MySQL Performance Analyzer
Do you want to be more specific?

What do you mean by "Java Packaging"? And if you believe that OSS tools for Java are a nightmare, I'd like to know which you are referring to and which language do you think has better tooling?

What about sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre?
mavroprovato··on Facebook without the News Feed
You could use your favorite chat client to connect to facebook chat, because this is all that is left. Or am I missing something?
mavroprovato··on The crushing lameness of April Fools Day on the Internet.
Simple, don't read the news today. Really, it's just one day. You don't have a huge problem to solve.
mavroprovato··on Ruby Garbage Collection: Still Not Ready for Production
I really do not understand what the Jave EE version history page has to do with the security of the Java runtime.

As for the other link, I think you have mixed things up a little. Those vulnerabilities are ways to bypass the Java sandbox, when Java is running in the browser as an applet. This is really not comparable to Ruby, as it cannot run in the browser and does not even have a sandbox functionality as far as I know.

Show me a way to remotely execute code on a machine just because it is running Java, and you will have my fullest attention :-)

Could you provide an example of those attacks/injections?
mavroprovato··on Linux gets frozen, what do you do?
In my workplace I have a Dell Keyboard that has the SysRq/Scroll Lock/Pause Keys on the top right, above the numpad. Holding Alt+SysRq with one hand is just impossible.

Maybe it's easier in saner keyboards.

mavroprovato··on Linux gets frozen, what do you do?
> You need to press and hold Ctrl, Alt and PrtSc(SysRq) buttons, and while holding them, you need to press r, e, i, s, u, b

I think I need an extra hand to do this

mavroprovato··on Dijkstra on Haskell and Java (2001)
Or you can say: "Don't worry about this now, we will explain it later" :-)
mavroprovato··on Dijkstra on Haskell and Java (2001)
Just because you should not explain to students what "public static void main(String[] args)" is the first day does not mean that you can never teach them. Actually, if your students cannot understand what this line is after one full class of Java, then the problem is with the teacher, not the students.

mavroprovato··on Learn PHP – Free interactive PHP tutorial
> > all library functions being in the global scope

> Ever used C?

Come on, this is not a good argument. C is a 70's language, we can do better than that, even in 1995 when PHP came out.
