And if that doesn't help there will be outrage. That will show em.

Nice. I did not know there are other cool languages on the market :)

This. In 2018 the standard programming language for the web should be something better than Javascript.

But you have to admit, it somehow feels cool, once you know it. Try programming Euclid's algorithm in a single line in another language. In Javascript you can do it like this:

var xyGcd = function gcd(a,b){ return b ? gcd(b, a%b) : a; }(x, y);

I do not understand why Apple neglects Safari's development so much. It is years behind Chrome, and the only reason why it's market share is still that high is probably that iOS users simply have no alternative.

If you ever tried to get involved into the development process of webkit you will soon understand why Safari has become the worst browser around. I posted a couple of bug reports over the last few months and the reaction I got was zero, absolutely nothing. During the same period I wrote some bug reports for Chromium and Firefox, and about half of the bugs were fixed, on the others there usually was a brief discussion. Screw webkit, I will no longer write bug reports because it obviously is just a waste of time.

Putting your opinion straight into the headline and calling it news, that's how you do it. No fucking around, not even pretending to report neutrally. Love that kind of journalism.

I think I just wet my pants.

The are totally pumped for the new Huawei phone. I do not know much about this, because I use my phone only for making phone calls, but Huawei seems to be the most attractive brand among their peer group. Of course they will not get it, as I will not shell out 1000€ for a phone, because I am neither moneybags nor a moron.

Thanks, that was my first take, too. But I tested this on three computers, two laptops and a gaming pc, Windows 10 and Windows 7, and the results were similar. There is an issue on bugzilla, opened five moths ago: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/s...

My guess is that his is just hard and difficult work, and in the Mozilla team there are not too many developers who can do this.

Firefox has come a long way performance wise. Flexbox layout has been improved dramatically, and lot's of other performance improvements were implemented.

But there are still some major performance issues, and somehow I get the feeling that the Mozilla developers get a bit carried away with implementing new and exciting stuff instead of making the existing functionality really good.

If you are running Windows you may want to run the following test with hardware performance enabled and disabled, and compare the displayed frame rates.

Performance test: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/wY...

On my machine hardware acceleration reduces the frame rate at least by a factor 4(!). This is not what I understand by "acceleration". Please, Mozilla devs, this can't be what you had in mind when you introduced hardware acceleration.

Because that would be outrageous.

That's the only thing that you could ever rely on. And it will be the only thing until the end of time.

Russians deployed some space mirrors before in their Znamya mission:

Znamya 2.5 had a bit of a tragic ending as the mirror got ripped by the antenna of the satellite that deployed it.

Does this even matter anymore in management decisions? Maybe I am old-fashined, but back in the old days a product (like the Walkman) became successful because it provided a certain value for the customer.

Thanks, if comments were editable on slashdot I would correct that.
