If I wasn't clear as well, As far as I can see from the link you gave It still does not match the level of security Chrome offers, it is getting there, but not yet.

Sorry I didn't mean Sandboxing used Rust, It was a separate thing (That Rust is less susceptible to such class of errors, so the more code written in Rust the better)
Also didn't mean it has no sandboxing (I knew about efforts), my point was its security is not a match for Chrome yet, as seen from the amount and type of critical errors.
When it is there I would definitely use it along with Chrome.

Unfortunately, as long as Firefox security infrastructure does not match Chrome, I can not use it. Note that errors like use-after-free and buffer overflows are marked as Critical (run arbitrary code on computer) for Firefox, but marked as High (execute code in the context of, or otherwise impersonate other origins.) for Chrome because of sandboxing.
Firefox: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities...
Chrome: https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/search/label/Stable%20...
Hopefully with their sandboxing project done (Also with Rust) will make Firefox much better in the security department, but until then, no.

well, lets say fi < 1e-9 fl < 1e-12 and its a mostly a desert outside.

Still, a few amino acids are far far away from proteins, let alone all proteins that work together and makes a simple living cell. Or mechanisms like:

it might still be possible "given enough time".

The calculator link you gave is doing exactly the same thing, smallest percentage is 1%. It doesn't make sense.

So much energy is spent making a shitty language perform better. It is really sad.

No it wasn't a one man job.

Ah China and AI.. Just remembered this nice piece of paper:

At best they will become an Orwellian nightmare then they currently are, World domination? Please...

low_battery | 8 years ago | on: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and 1920X Review
I think on GCC or Clang Threadripper should be much better (see link on my other reply)
And also Arstechnica reported much better numbers, I think Anantech either had a bad config or there is a bug in the compiler they used.

Actually its a problem with Visual studio, Ryzen utterly destroys comptetition when it comes to compilation. Unfortunately Anandtech does not test with GCC or Clang.

Are you in the industry and successful? Do you consider yourself as such; egoist, cold and full of testosterone.
I have seen a lot of successful people, very few fits the description.

Sure it was a rose garden in 90s.
And no one wanted to bring sharia law in Turkey, I wonder if I was living in the same Turkey as you in 90s..

I had a second look at the proposed changes, there are 2 important ones regarding judicial matters, the change for constitutional court is mainly removing 2 members selected from military judges. The change regarding high judicial court is more complex but i don't see an alarming difference between the new and existing, could you point to me?

Ah really? how many refugees are the going to take?
low_battery | 9 years ago | on: RIP Turkey, 1921 – 2017
I was curious about this as well, and looked around a little. I am not sure where you got these numbers, but apparently technically this is not a deal breaker (And not against constitution at all):

I am sad that yes vote win, but continuously arguing for this kind of technicalities doesn't really change anything.

Your analysis implies far right fractions had a big role in this referendum, which to be honest does not ring correct, on the contrary, even though leader of MHP asked to support yes vote, they overwhelmingly voted no, something effectively destroying his leader position, and perhaps his party.

Also is using thread per tab approach more susceptible to memory leaks, resource sharing issues or OS scheduling shenanigans than process per tab approach? You close the tab, the process is dead and resources are mostly guaranteed to returned. My knowledge of modern browsers is limited, maybe this was considered an acceptable compromise though.
