"like" (it happened to me)
No journald. Consequently, this also means no libqrencode and libmicrohttpd integration, nor hooking coredumps to the journal. The default log target for auxiliaries is now LOG_TARGET_SYSLOG_OR_KMSG.
The main case against binary logs is their corruptibility. This happens more often than you’d think, due to not having any transaction consistency, as an RDBMS would. The advice of the systemd developers on handling this? Ignore it.

Systemd is great step ahead in theory. Seems even to be quite stable in practice. Binary logs by default are a disastrous decision however.

It'd be a good idea to have Keyboard only day for UI designers...

Is there a "Ctrl+tab" extension that works properly with this?
silon3 | 11 years ago | on: Electrolysis – run web content in a separate process from Firefox
I wish it had an option to reorder that tab (move it to end / bottom in TreeStyleTabs). (also, reverse order of tabs in TreeStyleTabs would be great).

It's crazy that it's Windows Store only. On my only Windows machine the Windows Store won't even open because I have UAC disabled.

If you add shared memory threads (like in c++, c#, java) to Javascript, I'm disabling it forever.

I think it's because I have "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" Firefox feature disabled.

Nope, the thing seems to work.

A lot of new cars in Europe also have front, rear and trunk 12V sockets.
I wouldn't buy one without at least two of those.

That's normal and a feature. Mouse pointer is driven by hardware input and rendered independently (was a hardware overlay in the old days) and is soft realtime (hopefully). Because the window manager is a normal process, operating asynchronoysly, the window frame will lag a bit (depends on system load), and the app contents even more (this can't be avoided, even if the WM/compositor was realtime). Making the window frame wait for window content is broken by design.

Browser <pre supports tabs and defaults to the value of 8 (as is standard), so that shouldn't be a problem.

Does the old "good standard will have 2 or more implementations" apply here?

Imo the core of git is superior, but the command line interface of SVN is much better. Git is just horribly messy. The distributed stuff push/pull had a lot of work and improvements, but the work/commit cycle is just messy, at least when compared to SVN or mercurial.

I tried the e10s nightlies and it seems to be quite usable.
The major issues is some tab confusion (phantom, unclickable tabs), many "new tab" after session restore and occasional problems with context menus. I did use Tree style tabs and some other non-content related plugins and they mostly work.

The c# build system (assemblies) is completely mis-designed for performance. I wish .net assembly modules were supported for separate compilation and link step.

>Note that's just dereferencing: there's nothing inherently unsafe about just creating and passing around the pointers themselves.
Sure there is. Passing around multiple pointers can result in a double free and then the dangerous dereference can happen. I'm guessing the developer must be careful when writing unsafe blocks to make sure this doesn't happen.

"Proper" includes 16:10 or even better (15:10 would be great)
