Asking to do the work of raising a bug to make a product better which is competing with other non profit product is in itself a bit arrogant in my opinion. On top of that the attitude to be lazy to search for the issue which was already marked as won't fix https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=137247 is not the right thing to do. I would have appreciated if you have created the issue with the details provided and shared the link her for the op to fill in more details.


Your account name is displayed in green is that because you have 1 karma point and you are new user ?


This is not cool. The idea is to create very easily replaceable jobs, which makes sense for the creators but not for the users of those platforms. Even if it is hard and requires time to master its better to know the basics and aim for relatively difficult to replaceable jobs.


Single source of income is by definition at the mercy of the source. If one thinks that one could have had a disciplien to save, think again that savings has limitations. You can not save much as an employer and if you get screwed in your mid 30's, you don't have much savings to live off and also can not start over either. The only option is look for multiple incomes and if you are not capable, do not marry or take any personal commitments that affect other people. I know it sounds harsh but that's also make logical sense. Since you now have time, either save more or fight to change the situation so that the next generation of humans does not have to suffer this. Depressing but logical thought.


Wrong comparison. In this case making money is enough of a motivation. But in case of open source contributions its more of a sacrifice.


As the technology advances we should be working less but its the opposite. Here's an essay by Bertrand Russel http://www.zpub.com/notes/idle.html


Great essay. Bertrand Russel never ceases to amaze. For others, the essay is titled In Praise of Idleness, but is about using your idle (non-working time) for pursuits.

Not to turn this into something else, but pursuing things during "idle" time is another reason why if reasonably possible, basic income could be great alongside more advancements like automation occurring.


Printing tons of money is what is happening even without basic income, BI is the way forward to free human from boring labor. Probably no one has a macroeconomic plan. But the basic idea is simple and powerful. Robots do the menial and boring job of humans and they are taxed that is distributed to people and people spend on robots for services and the cycle continues.


Tried chrome but never switched to chrome. What feature were you missing in firefox that made you switch to chrome.


What made me switch was the performance basically, from the beta I had never used such a fast and responsive browser.


An sqlite client in the browser ? Is that it.


The site is usable but can be made a lot better simply by changing the priorities.

Hide all those compiler flags etc in the first page. The idea is if any one needs such advanced settings surely the source code will be multi page source code, even for the special use case it would be in the 1 % users.

Include some template code which is readily compilable. THis is will be useful

The sharable link should be integrated with reddit, google +, etc to be more resistance free sharing.


Except for in C, when you want to use the math library, you'd need the `-lm` option, which comes up fairly commonly.
