Why is Mozilla Firefox such a piece of shit?
Literally:
1. Eats up too much rap, even with tab suspending extensions.
2. When you have it open, it won't let MacBook Pro sleep.
3. Literal bloatware even at version 59 or whatever it's at.
What the fuck is wrong with Mozilla?

None, really it's mostly about knowledge of domain and codebase.
What exactly is the point of OOP? As far as I can tell, an object is just a blob of data with some associated functions. The difference between foo(obj, arg) and obj.foo(arg) is purely syntactic, so what's the conceptual difference between an object, and a data structure + a set of functions that mung it?

Yeah. You're just using structs.

Why isn't SSHD more popular? I have a 1tb SSHD in my laptop and the performance is not bad at all. A 1tb SSD costs half of what my laptop cost when I bought it.

You will have a HDD which laptop will have to spend extra power to spin so less battery life.
>>
My guess is that for majority of people SSD+HDD combo is better and SSHD is kind of niche.
I have SSHD and can't complaing.

>>60988795
Drawbacks of both without the benefits of either, basically.
You're still dealing with spinning platters. You can't drop the thing and you get shit latency/IOPS from them. You pay more than you do for a vanilla HDD. You have the SSD cache that ameliorates some of that, but in a way you can't control. The drive decides what's cached, you can't tell it "keep this program in flash so that it starts fast" or anything. It might be fast or slow, depending on when you used it, the drive's algorithms, and the phase of the moon. And you're going to run into that because the cache is only a moderate number of GB, to keep the cost down below a pure SSD.
Pick a lane. Either the speed of an SSD is worth the penalty in cost per GB, or it isn't. There's no sense in trying to split the difference.

Much, much easier if you aren't well-versed in manual *nix networking setup. Comes with a nice web interface.

This post got me thinking
>>60988272
Does anyone actually verify the integrity of their own, source-built packages?
Or do we all just assume somebody else has and its fine?

Yes. People run partially / fully automatic audits over larger bodies of code, but other than that. it was audited to the degree it was audited.
Are you checking who last inspected a bridge (and when) before you expose yourself to an actually mortal risk by using it?

>Are you checking who last inspected a bridge (and when) before you expose yourself to an actually mortal risk by using it?
Is that a valid comparison?
>something no average bridge-crosser would do
vs
>How far does someone go who decided they need libresoftware to remain free
I'm not worried about someone exploiting the bridge-inspection system to keep an unsafe bridge up, but I am curious about the PLAUSIBILITY of a surveillance-institution exploiting the trust of people who, in the interest of efficiency, don't read ANY source-code.

Why do people feel as though they need a dedicated app for every website they visit.
Don't y'all just use the chrome app? to me it feels like the closest experience to browsing on a PC. with the tab use and stuff.

I agree on principle yet occasionally an app does it better. Like Clover.

The nearby gas plant has two of these, each running a three phase generator and a compressor unit.
Turbine #2 exploded last week, right after a 2.something million dollars overhaul was completed. Friends at the plant say the lubrication pump piled up.. would that mean the refurbishing company has to pony up a refund?
