That's something that I like about experiments in "Container Tabs", where you get the power of separate profiles, but the ability to mix-and-match them in the same browser window and opening a profile can be as simple as opening a new tab.

I understand though why Mozilla seems to be having such a hard time converging on a UX for Container Tabs that makes everyone happy and it may be impossible to ever surface 100% of the power of profiles to the average user. But -ProfileManager is so long in the tooth and so clearly predates modern niceties that it would be great for better UI/UX out of the box today.

Agreed, but some of this stuff is for global browser behavior, while container tabs only isolate cookies/localstorage for sites.

Profiles should be easy to use, like any other application: When you logout of one profile and into another, everything changes.

Happy to chat. My name is Justin, and my email address is my name at serotiny.bio
I can tell you was a non-ideal interview process looks like from the "coding challenge" POV. I had one company pose a "dev challenge" of taking a multi-million row public sample data set and the goal was to generate a report from it. This was for an operations job "but everyone has to take the dev challenge".

Part of the problem I had with this was that I didn't feel like it was even a dev challenge. I've hand coded reports before and that has always led to a world of pain. I also felt like it was a data sciences challenge, not a dev challenge, and my data science is really rusty.

I spent most of the 1-4 hours they said most people complete it in, just thinking about the problem. "If I had to solve this problem in my company, first thing I'd do is look at Crystal Reports. The last thing I'd do is open a file and type "import sqlalchemy"."

I set up a repo that did all the operations stuff (remember, it was a Ops job I was applying for), and put together deployment parts to set up a test system and load the data into the database, configure everything, etc...

A few weeks later I finally got the parts all to work and was able to solve the problem in an 80x25 screen worth of SQL. I suspect I was the only applicant that solved it in SQL.
It is only a small piece of documentation Nouveau developers need. Looks more like a show than a genuine help. Also it is a link from 2013...
I took this one step further and disabled history based autocompletion in the url bar of Firefox. If I want autocompletion, I bookmark the site. This lets me avoid accidentally getting sidetracked on entertainment sites (reddit, etc) just because I typed the first character. And it still allows me to search my history if I need (though I do this surprisingly little).
I didn’t notice these scams:

Higher Education
Mental Health
Religious Organizations
Political Elections
Some mornings it's just hard to get started.

A trick I use is to start something "easy" towards the end of the day, but not finish it. That makes it easier to get the ball rolling the next morning.
I use todoist (free plan) which lets you assign todos to different projects.

If i wanted to give each project a priority as well, i would probably just add a number to the project's name.
Not..exactly. Maybe is only a local thing in my country, but you will surprise what is called "features" and "bugs" from non-developers. (features: Everything including bugs bugs: Everything that is annoy and not allow to continue... but sometimes also called features)

I mean, are intermixed ALL the time. I literally this week was working in a feature (that was, in reality, a bug) meanwhile only talking to my partner that give support and see him ignoring a red modal windows with a error message (oh, that is not a bug, it allow to work(???)).

You can turn the bugs and anti-features of the competence in your own selling points (our product sync the offline database without the need to have a operator that restart the service and click on "sync" in the dashboard!!!) and stuff like that...

The chemicals can be recycled and doing so is highly lucrative give how scarce some of them are.

China is also a technology leader in producing the means to clean up their energy act (solar panels, wind mills, etc.) and is also deploying these on a massive scale.

And it's not like it is super efficient to ship oil across the globe by burning more oil to produce fuel (in a process that is not exactly clean either), which then gets transported by burning some more oil, so that you can burn it in a car using a combustion engine that mostly produces noise and heat.

So, no, these are not show stoppers.

I always assumed people who use netboot are running a distribution mirror inside their "data center".
I feel the strong need to point out some of these settings will break Firefox in subtle and hard to understand ways. There’s a reason you “void the warranty” when tweaking the about:config preferences. No rule against it, but just watch out. (Mozilla employee)
True, but it got better with about:profiles (enter this in the address bar in firefox)
That's a lot of walking.

There's a deceptively simple breathing exercise that helps me in almost any moment of stress or important thinking. Just observe my breathing. Don't try to change it, just focus inward and notice what is happening as I breathe. It's amazing how much this can calm my mind or focus my thoughts.
The word 'boulevard' is similarly freaky. The Dutch (and others) took it from the French, who initially took it from the Dutch (bolwerc/bullwark).

Always wanted to stay involved after I left 41st / Experian; you guys are the real deal in terms of using data for good.
Sorry for the confusion. I just chose something short when starting the project and since it's just a hobby project I didn't bother checking for name clashes.
