General Software Discussion / Re: Cyberfox / Firefox updated to 41.0x
« Last post by Tuxman on October 03, 2015, 09:03 PM »
I'm back on mainline Firefox after years of Waterfox/Pale Moon/Cyberfox. Finally, KeeFox stays in my toolbar. The 64-bit build feels adequately fast.

I just noticed that Firefox 42 comes with a "mute this tab" functionality. Lovely.  :-*

People all over it ARE using it like chat.

In the "normal" Twitter timeline you don't see mentions to people you don't follow. Of course, the public feed is unfiltered. Feel free to register.

According to what I know, Twitter will soon announce a "product" for more than 140 characters. Yay, another blogging platform like Tumblr!

The nice thing with a 140 character limitation is that you can't misuse it as a chat.

I love how the world discusses Volkswagen's "ethics" while ignoring that everyone cheated before ...  :D

Instead of segregated blogs, it might be useful to have a "DC Blog" where, with varying bits of editing help, everyone can post articles.

Again, that has nothing to do with the cloud, nor does it have anything to do with sharing passwords with other people. Nor does it have anything to do with LastPass.
-Deozaan (September 21, 2015, 04:23 PM)

Oh, so they compare the password managers without comparing their features vs. each other?

You're misrepresenting what they are saying.
-Deozaan (September 21, 2015, 04:14 PM)

From the LastPass "pros":

Share and send login information to other Lastpass users securely

--> No, I'm not. They give KeePass a worse ranking because it doesn't come with a built-in storage on other people's computers.

Good comparison of password services with ranking:

Giving KeePass a bold "Contra" because you are not forced to store your passwords on other people's computers... LOL!

I became paranoid over the years. Having used LastPass for years, I actually noticed rather late that (security breaches...) it might not be the best idea to store your most important data on servers; especially since LastPass actually keeps a local, unencrypted copy. Also, Android support costs 12 bucks.

I had tried it before it was cool.

There are some packages in it which don't work well due to missing "gcc" or something (maybe that's a package maintainer fault though); other than that, it's probably the best solution if you try to get something like apt.

Why would I need graphics when that XML-thingy just allows me to apply styles at all?

I thought I'd crowdsource the research, not having found any on my own.  :D

Thanks. Meh, I was hoping WPF would allow me to just apply some CSS-like styling ...

Developer's Corner / Writing WPF styles?
« Last post by Tuxman on September 05, 2015, 07:40 PM »
For some retro project I'm considering to develop, I could really need some Windows 3.x WPF style. Are there any? If not, how can I actually create them?

I never did that before.

Living Room / The weirdness that is Electron
« Last post by Tuxman on September 05, 2015, 07:38 PM »
I never could see the point in the Atom editor.

Using a bloated web browser runtime as the code base for a text editor which never could do notably more than Emacs or a sanely configured Sublime Text never seemed to be something well-thought, not even considering the cross-platform approach. Writing cross-platform applications never required a virtual machine. Additionally there's quite a lot of overhead. A "Hello, world" GUI application in Ceramic, the Common Lisp port of Electron, takes about 256 MiB of hard disk space. This must be the future(*).

However, Electron seems to gain attraction. Today I found an Electron-based terminal emulator - nice look, weird feeling -, and it suffers from the same problems. I guess we'll all soon grow tired of those "oooh, I look like TextMate!" applications altogether, but until then, I wonder what we normal programmers can do to help prevent the world to consider seriously bloated runtime environments a must-have.

* I admit one of my in-development applications uses Ceramic. Know your enemy!
