Isn't Developer Edition just a rebranded Firefox Beta that uses a different profile by default?


Same branch as beta, but with different build flags. Add-ons don't need to be signed to be installed on DevEdition, there's a DevTools button in the toolbar by default, etc.


What are the justifiable reasons to specifically kill journalists with machine guns?


Ah, because that's what was said that I was responding to?

See, this is the problem. I can't even point out that the way this is being communicated is counterproductive without you assuming I have some allegiance I'm expressing, and using a bad faith argument to try to get me to defend an assertion which is (as presented) undefensible.

I assume you feel this bad faith response is justified because you see a genocide and therefore why would you show constraint, but the other side is doing the same thing, for similar reasons, and nobody is actually trying to communicate, just yell at each other.

Congratulations on being the problem. I doubt you'll see yourself that way though, because again, why would you care how you're acting when you can tell yourself whatever you do is justified to stop a genocide?


It only works with new versions of android. It's a feature.


A IB Diploma Physics textbook I had used a negative one exponent instead of a division symbol in units. This is not normal right?


Negative exponents do look odd. I first saw it in RollerCoaster Tycoon like 25 years ago.

Units with negative exponents are non-existent in everyday discourse (articles for the general public, product labels, commercial catalogs, etc.) and even the vast majority of engineering.

It's when you get into science and analysis where you start seeing big compound units and negative exponents. Here are a few examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity#Units , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_permittivity , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_analysis


After taking Dimensional Analysis in undergrad I never stopped doing that, quite possibly to the nuisance of everyone around me...


perfectly normal in physics books, maybe not usual in high school, but uni-level books all do this.


Yeah that's the normal way in physics in my experience, certainly from undergrad level up.


I was on a ferry from Barcelona to Mallorca. They had a movies, magazines and newspapers on what looks like an intranet app. It probably works the same way an airplane's in-flight entertainment.

The US Navy could have their own version of that.


wezterm has both according to the above article


It means that the website doesn't work in Firefox intentionally. The website was proframmed to not work with Firefox user agent string.


Is firefox blacklisted or are chrome and edge whitelisted?


Ah I see, I thought the parent poster meant malice on the part of Mozilla, got confused by bouncing between comment threads. I could see malice, since it is Microsoft, but what's the "why" of it? I don't really see any motivation that M$ would have to block Mozilla, all it's going to do is piss off users. It's not like people are gonna get fed up and switch to Edge, they'll get fed up and switch to Chrome. If anything, M$ has a great incentive to improve Firefox adoption. The market that uses FF is the same market that is never going to choose Edge. FF and Edge both have a much better position if they can damage Chrome's market share.


The cynic in me says we will understand the motivation in some antitrust trial one of these years.

Pointing out that in some parts of the world, mutton may refer to goat meat or sheep meat. I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes.


I would rather have type inferred literals: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/12854


Try putting it in a bookmark and then execute it.


How is this supposed to work? Opening the bookmarks page navigates away from the current page. Even then, selecting the bookmark does nothing.


Works in Firefox, not Chrome. Android.

1. Bookmark any page, making a dummy

2. Menu > Bookmarks > edit

3. Change URL of dummy bookmark to the js bookmarklet code.

4. Visit any site.

5. Menu > Bookmarks > tap on the bookmarklet

6. Widget appears on bottom right of page

It doesn't work on HN(?) But does work on other sites.


Step 5 onwards don't work on private tabs for some reason. For private tabs you can do all steps up to 4 and then:

5. Tap on the URL bar

6. Type part of the name of the bookmark you chose until it appears in search (in my case eruda works)

7. Tap the bookmarlet

For this to work you need to have bookmark search enabled in settings: Settings -> Search -> Search bookmarks

Also, there seem to be many sites where the widget doesn't appear, but you can try it at google.com.


If you're on Android and want eruda, I've got a userscript to load it on every site here: https://github.com/Efreak/UserScripts/tree/master/Eruda-Mobi...

It helps with things like removing elements because you can see the DOM and it's fewer clicks away and easier to use than ublock, which doesn't show the DOM in the little box provided for element removal and only allows removing one item say a time (you can use multiple selectors, but every time you tap an element to get the selector it overwrites the existing content)


Unless I'm mistaken, Chrome mobile doesn't support userscripts (or extensions). Which browser are you using?
