Each of the >30 times I've hit F5 on this site in Chromium it causes a 100% reproducible, complete tab crash.

The tab fully loads and appears properly for about... 100ms or so beforehand, so I'm pretty sure it's to do with some kind of wasm interaction. I have my microphone set to "ask before accessing" so I don't think the crash is to do with audio.

FWIW, I've been experiencing periodic tab crashes for the past few weeks, and need to do a package upgrade to move up from 68.0, so this may not be interesting to anybody.

But in case someone sees this and wants to chase it down, let me know; debugging Chromium can be fun. Unfortunately Arch doesn't provide debug symbols for their builds :'( so that's a bit of a setback, but yeah.
there's no universal standard for good color because it depends on context and fashion.

eg. MS used blue as a calming color for error screens, but it became a symbol for failure and frustration via the bsod.

It's also common knowledge to use warm colors for food, but this creates a vacuum of blue colored food brands which now stands out (eg. blue apron)

Control your anger. In many countries bicycles get a reserved space at the front of the lights. (Some even now have bicycle-only traffic lights too).

Since that’s by far the safest place for them to be, filtering to reach it is absolutely appropriate.
YMMV, but for me, anti-depressants allow me to have emootions. When I'm off them, emotions are way too intense, so I clamp them all down until they're barely there. After two years of anti-depressants, I'm finally able to listen to music I really like, read books I find emotionally affective.
That's not nearly "every package manager".

Topgrade [1] upgrades all packages including distribution package managers (such as Homebrew, APT, DNF, ...), language specific package managers (such as Cargo, NPM, Gem, ...), program specific package managers (such as Vim, Tmux, shells, ...), Flatpak/Snap, working on The Big Three (Windows, Linux, macOS).

I wish there was a way to update Steam and Battle.net from the CLI as well.

How do you recover emotions without ever having been on antidepressants?
Sometimes a company appears to hold itself neutral for a long time, and people get used to it and expect it to remain that way. When this suddenly changes, especially after the company has developed a dominant position in its niche, people tend to start complaining. Then some other people will often say, "Well, they never said they were neutral or that they upheld principles of free speech". Sometimes this is, upon further research, demonstrably wrong.

In one case of this, one of the founders of Reddit, after some redditors complained about some admin intervention, said "Reddit was never meant to be a bastion of free speech". Some users then started collecting places where representatives of Reddit (including founders and CEOs) had said just that: https://www.reddit.com/r/BOFS

In the case of Facebook specifically, I find a bunch of stories from just this July, with an example headline "Mark Zuckerberg stands up for free speech on Facebook, even for Holocaust deniers".

Is it illegal to break implicit (or even explicit) promises to users? If money hasn't changed hands and there isn't any legal contract, then maybe not. (I've heard of laws about "common carrier" status, but don't know if that applies.) But users are quite within their rights to consider it a betrayal and to complain loudly.
This. In our industry we reject good candidates all the time, as we'd rather many false negatives than one false positives. This is the same. Hell in ways it's even more important. It's a job for life, with a stupid amount of influence.
"I can easily suggest that any political feature on Facebook and just as similarly say it has the the approval of "coming from" Facebook."

If you're referring to ads, then no. Those are not 'political features' because they have nothing to do with Facebook and everyone knows that, just as they know ads you see on TV have nothing to do with the network. Now if CBS execs were having public lunch every day with Donald Trump and appearing at his rallies, well, then that's going to be viewed as something else entirely.

"or to have a position on LGBT Rights? (I do)"

Facebook is not telling you to have a position on LGBT rights and nobody seeing ads on Facebook believes those ads are representative of Facebooks views.

"Do you see how easy it is to flip your conceit right on its head with such an absolutist demand?"

There's nothing either conceited or absolutist about my 'demand', in fact, it's fairly standard across most major corporations.

If you're an exec and you start appearing at Trump rallies, and it might upset/offend your customers, you're going to get fired for cause right away. And rightly so. Nobody cares that much who you make donations to, or are friends with, or have dinner with. But public endorsements are that: public endorsements, and if you represent the company, then you have to check your behaviour.

The exec at Facebook must be thick to think that a national appearance in front of millions during one of the biggest political nuclear wars of our generation was going to be 'ok'.
You just failed at business. The person just told you exactly what they wanted, and you told them no.
Ha, there's a difference between

“I saw that good one” -- translated to Croatian, this wording strongly implies that both knew upfront which movie was good and he watched only that one. But according to the parent's explanation it may not be the case, Alice has only learned that one of the movies was good.

and

"The one I saw was good" (he picked a random movie from the collection and it happened to be good -- which would be "a good one" from the parent's example).

Many Geordies would disagree it's not its own language. Me, being one...

Spend some time in places like the Shetlands Islands or the Orkney Islands and the dialect vs language distinction is much more debateable, given the number of distinct words borrowed from the Norn language.

I'm not making the argument that dynamic languages are better for any particular task; I assume it, but that's a separate issue. Your comment says you would not use a dynamic language for a "large project expected to live long nor the kind of projects that is currently done in "enterprise"" on the basis that by switching to dynamic languages you save on some pattern cruft. My comment is agreeing, there are other tradeoffs to consider, I wouldn't necessarily expect anyone to switch languages just on syntax. The second half of my comment was considering another tradeoff, which is "do developers need to learn something new? can they? will they?" and more importantly for management "do we need to allocate more time for onboarding?" and the related "does this shrink our hiring pool and by how much?" Even if weighing those favor choosing (or moving to) a particular dynamic language, of course that might not be enough to change! Tooling is a factor as you point out, but there are even more tradeoffs to consider.

Big companies do in fact use dynamic languages for big enterprise business projects. I work for one, we (among many, many other big companies -- though I'm not sure what your cutoff point for big company is, we're not one of the two Trillion Dollar Behemoths if revenue is a factor) use JavaScript extensively, if not exclusively. It's not "for something else", the business depends on JS. Take away the mobile apps, ok we can live, take away the JS, um, what's going to talk to our equally important server and database code? (Not to mention do all the important things that are only implemented in JS rather than the backend?)

> Also, framing everyone who disagree with you as incompetent is awfully dishonest tactic. Suitable for toxic corporations (and toxic startups) for sure, but not something that should work in any kind of rational workplace.

Ok? I don't disagree and don't think I've ever framed people that way unless it was a joking reference to Linus Torvalds' git introduction 10 years ago for a Google presentation where he defined those that disagree with him for the duration of the talk as stupid and ugly. I'm not sure if you're on a tangent or something in my comment (or the video I linked?) gave that impression.

The only thing that seems to be universally true about mental health is that we’re all different, and someone else’s experiences rarely apply perfectly to your own.

I put off getting on the meds for at least 15 years longer than I should have done because of stories like this. They have been life changing lot positive for me with almost no downsides.

Consider how much potential influence Facebook and Google have on politics. Consider how many of our political issues are effected by the decisions of these company's. These people wield a lot of power, potentially political power of they choose to use it. That's why the news covers them.
A lot of people here talking about pivot tables and vlookups. There’s so much more to be good at in excel other than BI! Vba, udfs, volatile functions and dependency chain optimisation, com interop, windows libraries, vsto, etc.

I don’t see why a company can’t be biased.

It’s totally OK for a company to be biased, absolutely. But that company cannot reasonably expect to benefit from the privileges of common carrier status. Facebook wants to play both sides. It must be made to choose one or the other.

Example: it's OK for a newspaper to take an editorial position because the editor and ultimately the owners of the paper take responsibility for whatever they publish and can be held responsible by the courts if they don't. Facebook does not want to take responsibility for what it publishes, it wants to be protected like the postal service - but still take a position.

Macromedia Flash and Macromedia Director were both powerful and interesting products.

I played around with Flash years ago, back when Flash was still “in vogue” — made a couple of animations and wrote a rudimentary graphics editor that I didn’t finish.

I have fond memories of playing Flash and Shockwave games in elementary and middle school. One Shockwave game in particular that I remember was a 3d car game where other cars were chasing you through a city. The gameplay was rather simple and the 3d was quite low poly but it was an impressive game nonetheless.

I also installed Director at some point I think but it was a bit too complicated for me to understand at the time.

I recently picked up a few books on Director and Lingo that the library at my university had decided to get rid of. Flash and Shockwave are dead but the editors had something to them that I think is worthy of investigation, thought and revival. Perhaps some day we can have a Flash/Director like tool for developing interactive Canvas and Canvas3d (WebGL) content.

This is off topic, I stopped reading any publication that forces me to agree to adtargeting. They are in a stark violation of the GDPR. There’s no option to opt out.
There exist quite a few attempts at this and most work pretty well in my experience:

- Publibike in Switzerland (publibike.ch) operates your idea of cheaper docks: they are just a metal sign next to parking space with some (bluetooth-like) electronics in them to communicate with the bikes. You can only return your bike at one of these parking spaces. At the same time, they avoid the cost of installing fixed docks for each bike. They had some problems with their locks on the bikes not working properly, but these seem to be resolved and otherwise they work really well IMO.

- INDIGO weel (https://www.indigoweel.com/) is a free-floating system, but not totally free floating: you can only return your bike in GPS-fenced "allowed areas", which should be bike parking spots, avoiding the chaos of completely free-floating bikes. As GPS fences are quite broad, this doesn't work perfectly but it helps. Some of the schemes operated by Nextbike in Germany also work like that (they also operate with fixed docks in some cities, though).

I prefer these dock- or semi-dock-based systems to the totally free-floating ones, as if you know where the docks are its much easier and more reliable to actually find a bike there. Especially if you are travelling in a group, it will be a challenge to "collect" enough bikes with a free-floating system (unless you have so many bikes standing around on the streets that they become a public nuisance).

Nevertheless, I do not think judging free-floating systems by oBike is a good idea: oBike was uniquely bad in many respects (the quality of the bikes, the lack of local staff and support, the lack of GPS on the bikes, the need for a deposit etc.) and other free-floating schemes such as Limebike seem to work quite well.
> If you're an exec and you start appearing at Trump rallies, and it might upset/offend your customers, you're going to get fired for cause right away.

Well apparently Facebook disagrees with you, and they are perfectly happy to have execs do politically controversial things.

It is Facebook's right to be as political as they want, and apparently their choice is to allow their employees to do exactly any of these things.

I'd also like to point out that in the state of California, firing employees because of out of work political activities is literally illegal.

So you should be very careful about suggesting that companies engage in what may be illegal discrimination in the state of California. (Perhaps the rules are a bit different for execs, but still, be careful with your line of thinking)
In the past, without warning, they bricked phones with refurbished screens. These are Apple manufactured screens, just ones not original to the phone (repaired by third parties). Using third party screens used to work, but the firmware now checks for this and disables brightness controls if it detects them. This also happened without warning after an update (I believe 11.1 or .2). It might not be hard to fix the phones, but in reality the software is going to have the final say.
That’s possession, not ownership. That’s what I always understood to be the meaning of the saying “possession is 9/10s of the law”: The person with physical possession of an object has an enormous advantage, regardless of its actual ownership.

If you're an exec and you start appearing at Trump rallies, and it might upset/offend your customers, you're going to get fired for cause right away.

Except in California, where Facebook operates you would be taken to court quick fast and in a headspinning hurry for firing someone for appearing at a Trump rally. So for the context of this discussion, FB and how their executives seem to be talking out of both sides of their mouths here, you seem to be effectively asking Facebook to break the law.
I think this is a great point that, for some reason, I can’t recall ever seeing thoroughly addressed. (To be fair, I don’t work in the life sciences, so cmiiw).

Right; people used to argue over interpretation of facts. Now no one seems to even care about facts, evidence, consistent stories, anything, just who can shout the loudest, debates are won by “shaming” the opponent, and so on. And Facebook has encouraged this because “enragement is engagement”.

Where are we going with all of these emotionally charged views? Even looking at the comments here, if you were to refute a claim or challenge a point that originated from a popular narrative, you’re painted as “the enemy”. I can’t be a moderate anymore as calling for dialogue turns into “you’d never negotiate with Nazis, why even compromise with Republicans?!”

Is the right answer to dehumanize anyone with viewpoints and a political label different than the “correct” one? Should all Republicans be imprisoned, forcefully re-educated, and have their right to vote stripped from them as they committed the high crime of possibly voting for Trump?

I hope to God that it doesn’t take some kind of national unifying event that forcefully pulls us back together, neighbor to neighbor, because it shouldn’t take an immediate threat to survival for us to find common goals and listen to each other’s needs.

It is both sides. How grounded in reality you think either are depends on your own biases. From my point of view both the left and the right have become more extreme and more removed from the truth. The left thinks that the right is distorting reality more than they are (and they are to a degree) because they themselves live in an oppositely distorted reality.

> Given how large the resale market is for Apple products I would even say that this is an extremely positive policy because as long as the machine boots you can be pretty darn sure your MacBook is just like you would get from an Apple store.

"Extremely positive" might be a bit of a stretch, especially if you consider that we all share a planet with finite resources and finite ability to absorb pollution.
One of the reasons is the separation of biking lanes and motor vehicles. There are also directives (not laws) for implementation of crossings, roundabouts and soft requirements for traffic/h vs lane width etc. This makes sure the implementation is mostly universal and thus easier to work with but leaves some space for special cases (e.g. in dense cities and on older roads).

> So the number of bikers in the Netherlands seem to create a better protection for bikers than the usage of helmets. And here is the kicker: If you don't demand that people use helmets when biking, the number of bikers will rise to a level, where the number of injuries will be lower than if everybody used helmet.

I think infrastructure and distances of travel are more of a incentive than helmets, though with mopeds (low speed mopeds don't require helmets) speak in your favor.
