Apple is finally allowing Firefox to use its own engine on the iPhone (but only in the EU)
  • It doesn’t have to be separate branches - you can generate different versions of the software from the same code branch, e.g. using compiler/build time switches for those bits of the code that differ between the different target platforms. Then you would have a build pipeline per platform; even here the build pipeline can share a lot of common code, and just be parameterized for the specific platform.

  • DNA proves a long-dead man attacked 3 girls in Indiana nearly 50 years ago, police say
  • They probably recently extracted some viable DNA from the crime scene evidence that had been kept all these years, but they are unlikely to have any DNA taken from the long deceased perpetrator - assuming he was buried, it is unlikely any viable DNA survived 40 years. But if he he still has living relatives, you can take DNA from them and compare it to the crime scene samples, and look for sufficient matches to conclude he was likely to have committed these crimes.

  • Can you survive on pickles alone, for a while?
  • Easy. If I was trapped in a recently abandoned pickle factory, then I would survive on the food in the staff canteen, starting with what had just been prepared, such as pizza and sandwiches; after a day or so I would move on to see what was in the refrigerators, and finally work my way up to the frozen food. Oh, by the way, when they abandoned the factory, they forgot to turn off the power, so all the perishables are still nicely preserved.

    Also, lots of things can be pickled, not just cucumbers. The word “pickles” makes me immediately think of pickled onions. There is usually quite a bit of sugar in the picking vinegar.

  • Lapsus$: GTA 6 hacker sentenced to life in hospital prison
  • He sounds like a very troubled kid: “ The court heard that Kurtaj had been violent while in custody with dozens of reports of injury or property damage.”. He is deemed a danger to himself or others so is being placed is a secure hospital for safety, hopefully he will get treatment there. He will be released if the doctors deem he is no longer a danger.

  • What are your thoughts on the concept of having faith in a Higher Power but choosing to distance oneself from established religious doctrines?
  • I wonder how many other people at the mosque secretly think the same as you? If you have children, do you think they will be less constrained than you? In which case, there is some hope that the next generation will escape the strictures of organised religion.

  • Trump Boasts That Fictional Cannibal Killer Hannibal Lecter ‘Loves’ Him
  • It is ambiguous. “Hannibal Lector, how great an actor was he?” This could mean Trump thinks the actor is called Hannibal Lector, or the “he” could refer to the guy playing Hannibal Lector, which would be Anthony Hopkins. Like a lot of stuff that comes out of Trump’s mouth, it is an inarticulate mush, with the true meaning implied rather than explicit, and not worth arguing about.

  • Further evidence points to footprints in New Mexico being the oldest sign of humans in Americas
  • See how splayed out those toes are? That is how our feet have evolved to support walking upright in bare feet. A lot of modern shoes are too narrow, and cram toes together. If some of your toes are bent inwards, then you have shoes to thank for that.

  • How To Turn Off Google’s “Privacy Sandbox” Ad Tracking—and Why You Should
  • I started using Chrome instead of IE11, which was crap for standards, and before Edge was a thing. When Edge came along, I got really ticked off by the constant nagging to use it, which made me hate it without even trying it. I will probably carry on with Chrome for now, whist I can still turn off all the ad tracking stuff.
