There is no data! https://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.x... Good old time.

It split. The counter part is antimatter. And there’s more matter than antimatter. So it’s a similar question. Where does this asymmetry come from.

Because measurements confirm a homogeneous and isotopic universe. A spherical universe would imply a special point, the center, which would go against these cosmological principals.

That's something I was thinking a lot about back when I was working on Servo. Wasm + a protocol to talk to WebRender (expose display lists [0] to the wasm runtime). Some sort of "mini web", a minimal runtime that would do jus

Lot of people were saying that back then. But… the 3.6 -> 4.0 release was just such a pain. We spent more than a year trying to cram too many features in v4. Clearly feature-based releases were just not cutting it, especially as Chrome w

The story of the Telegraph is mind blowing. It was such a revolution, it changed our world. I can't recommend that book enough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Victorian_Internet

I think it's some sort of a reference to the CMB.

And it's so simple. Very easy to fork and tweak the hell out of. I added a better fonts, a 3rd swipe gesture (from top) and some random little tweaks.

Because I want my phone to be as basic as possible. No notifications, no icons, just plain text menu. Android can be configured to be so bare that my phone is just a black screen with 5 menu items: music, signal, map, text, phone. Personal

Correct. I need a small phone that just do basic stuff. But sadly Signal and Spotify are what I consider basic.

by paulrouget 3y ago
I tried for years to use these type of phones. I need Signal… so it had to be an Android phone. I also need a good map app, and Spotify. I tried many of these phones, and they all had 2 main problems: poor build quality (random shutdown, co

Alright, you don't have to engage. I thought maybe I missed something before my time. For others and historians :) … some efforts were made I think around 2008 (by Brad L. and/or Mark F. … I don't remember so well). A shortli

I have a very difficult time parsing your words. I'm sorry. I'm just saying gecko was not embeddable and was never designed to be so. There has been some efforts, and all failed. As far as I know! … so I'd be happy to be corr

XULRunner was not Gecko embed. It was Gecko embedding stuff. There was never a proper embeddable gecko. There has been an attempt for a gtk widget, but it never matured.

by paulrouget 3y ago
In the case of Thunderbird and seamonkey, Gecko was not embedded, but was the "embedder". For a short time, there was some attempts (native cocoa and gtk widget) to embed gecko, but it was really not meant to be, it was really hac

> Gecko was originally conceived to be embeddable by design Which part? And… what do you mean by embeddable in that context?
19.
by paulrouget 3y ago
I was part of Mozilla back then. I think we were already talking about making Gecko embeddable in __2003__. But then… looot of things happened, other priorities, competition, bad decisions, etc etc.

> Is there an explanation of the shape Some pencils have this particular flat shape to prevent them from rolling (artists and workers sometimes use inclined desks / surfaces).

His potential clues of CCC (the cyclic universe) in the CMB turned out to be incorrect. So as of now, this theory is not supported by anything.

> My personal hope is they push hard on the modularity angle It is strongly designed that way (the component model and the embed layer).

If you consider the observable universe as the upper limit and the plank length as the lower limit, we're much closer to the observable universe (10^-35 meters -> 10^27). One could argue that Plank length is not the most best lower

Then a "dimension" would not be a dimension as defined by math and physics.

by paulrouget 3y ago
Dimensions have a strict definition. Under those strict definitions we can draw conclusions that are 100% true. Math tell us things that can't be invalidated in the future. If it turns out there is "something else", it would

by paulrouget 3y ago
Extra dimensions are just scifi stuff. Physics would break appart if there were any "big enough" dimensions. Gravity & electromagnetism would not behave the way they behave (inverse square laws).

Well there's no easy way to make it work. I need to compile to Intel, not run Intel code. I would need to setup a whole toolchain + homebrew. No idea how to have all of that setup correctly.
