Which can be worth it depending on what you trade it for. I really liked the tab group feature but the new extension API is vastly more secure and can (probably) be extended to allow for most addons.

At Mozzila they need to prioritize many different things and I can understand how a constant push to make the browser leaner is foundamental. (especially in cases like RSS feeds)

They were offering a refund of what I had paid. I really wasn't comfortable with giving them my paypal address.
> The replacement that is compatible with the new form of extension isn't able to unload the tabs, just hide them, which undoes most of the performance benefits.

I believe this information is out of date. Firefox 58 brought extension developers the ability to unload tabs: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1322485

From the thread there:

“this will only happen with phones that are meant to stay in china, and also using software made for the chinese market. if your phone is shipped outside of china or has google play services, they're fine”

“It's only Chinese roms that don't have Google play store. This has been known for awhile and honestly this while ep 2 shit is nothing new.”

I think it's "paid applause" in the sense that they often invite the product teams that were responsible for the features to be in the crowd, and they're cheering for themselves and their teammates.

> We’re excited to introduce multiple tab selection, which makes it easier to manage windows with many open tabs. Simply hold Control (Windows, Linux) or Command (macOS) and click on tabs to select them. Once selected, click and drag to move the tabs as a group — either within a given window, or out into a new window.

Yessss. It doesn't happen often, but the times when I open up 6-10 tabs for research but then decide they deserve their own window so I can focus on them (and subsequently drag them out one by one) is still a lot.

Indeed,
Everywhere, A fair portion of apparently spontaneous reactions in the media are fake.

I suspect the main significant thing in looking at Russia is that you have an important in-person performance rather than performance broadcast on a screen. In Russia, in-person performance is important while TV and later media are what matter in the West.

On a screen, a lot is by definition fake since real people and situations look strange broadcast on a screen with no tweaks/improvements.
That's the blog of the developer of Tree Style Tabs, who is presumably Japanese. I agree that it would be nice to have such information on MDN, and since MDN is a wiki, anyone here can do it if they feel strongly enough about it. The linked blog post contains a wealth of information describing how the API works, along with links to further explanatory posts.
I've recently noticed similar issues with my older Crucial SSD in my 2012 mbp.

In the past 3 months, there's been maybe 5 times where I started my laptop and it took 5+ minutes to finish booting. Normally, it's 15 seconds. Once I'm logged in, doing anything takes forever, but it does eventually load. A power off, and back on got it "working" again but who knows for how long.

I've had this drive for 4-5 years now, so I'm impressed it's lasted this long.
I have to agree and I think it's one of the areas that cyberpunk stories can really excel in. Telling a small story in a big world helps contextualize and ground the setting.
I'm cautious, so my process is slower than others might suggest, but this is how I'd approach it were I in your situation.

First, collate evidence of your professional successes so your value to the company is indisputable. You want to be able to say "I've been here three years, and in that time I've delivered ... and every review has had Exceeded Expectations".

Next, you suspect that your market value is higher than your current pay, so gather evidence to support this. Ordinarily that would be job listings for comparable positions, or salary surveys applicable to your geographic area. In your case, because of the issues with past employment, they might counter-argue that those job listings are for pristine employees but your special status means you wouldn't command those on the market. The best response you can have is "well, I have an offer at market rates, so those rates definitely apply to me. I don't want to leave this great company with wonderful people and interesting work, but this pay difference is so big ..."

The great thing about anchoring to market rates is that you're not saying "I feel like you're underpaying me." This isn't about your feelings, it's about the simple facts that the job listings offer $75-95k and your current salary is $72k. You are underpaid, objectively.

Another useful phrase: "I don't need to be paid at the very top end of the market range, but I would like to be paid at or above average for this position because I believe that I am doing above average work." (If you can cite your performance reviews as evidence that you're doing above average work, that's good too)

If you have a partner, and you're worried about your boss thinking you are greedy, then you can make your partner the bad guy in this conversation. E.g., say "look, I want to stay here, but we are getting ready to have a child and need to save for the time without income", or "look, I want to stay here, but my partner is really pushing me to earn more." Personally, that's not my preferred technique -- I am comfortable arguing for my worth, but your situation may be different and this might be of use to you.

The other reason to get a job offer is if you think your employer doesn't value you and will seek to fire/replace/punish you if you ask for more money. This may or may not be illegal in your jurisdiction, but that doesn't make it any less of a problem. If you fear this, then a job offer lets you know that should the worst happen you can always land on your feet. If you genuinely do find it impossible to get a job offer, then you may genuinely have lower market value at this point because of the perceived risk the employer is taking. That sucks, but better to admit that than to bluff and find yourself unemployable.

Good luck! Let us know how it goes!
Thanks for checking it out! For the beta, I took mobile web to a pretty minimal state. I know it will be a huge use case for a lot of people, so I really want to have first-rate support on mobile. It helps a lot to hear the types of features you need. Please do keep up with development - I'd love to hear your thoughts as mobile support improves!

Does this mean I need to build it myself or is the binary gonna ship this way?
I have to say, you're completely overlooking why AWS/GCP/Azure are good services in your answer. The value add from using these services is that you don't have to know how to run any of these things, building an SRE/devops/sysadmin organization is non trivial for a team of developers with a background in application development. Spending an extra 100k a year on AWS is likely cheaper than the cost of building out a team to do all of these things for you, including as things scale.

If you're going to have a team of people deploying all of your own middleware software anyways on VMs, that completely defeats the cost savings from using cloud these days. It's much more of a PaaS business than a pure IaaS one.
I am more referring to how it fits in with the story. What humans know about the Matrix is treated like what Hogwarts professors know about magic vs what starfleet academy knows about warp cores.

The fact that people jacking in can die is not treated as an open technical problem to be solved, but gamps rules of transformation. Warp cores are not nessisarily fully understood, but they are actively trying to test out and improve them. In the Matrix they don’t treat things as a theory they just notice stuff and slap a name on it. At the same time they built a loading program to bring guns into the system. Which is why I am saying it’s even a close call between science fiction and fantasy.
The last time I had a seat in the actual venue in a product reveal was during the Steve Jobs era, and applause was definitely not coached — Steve was simply a gifted presenter.

These days, getting an invitation to a product reveal is a rare treat for employees (because there aren't that many seats), so I'm pretty sure the enthusiasm is genuine. I generally watch these reveals in satellite offices (where there are no cameras or audience for whose benefit one would have to fake enthusiasm), and there is still applause.
the original 3d tetris was "blockout" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockout], which i spent way too much time playing back in high school. surprised it didn't get a mention.
Glad someone else pointed that out. That comment felt so inhumane and perfectly shows how people cannot appreciate the privilege they are born into. And privilege does not always mean money.
Thanks for the feedback on the draft.

Regarding "topologically static", the system doesn't assume a fixed set of communicating endpoints (like MPI ranks). It will all you to dynamically add new participants to the network.

Why is the gRPC comparison not fair? Shouldn't they do dynamic batching also? It can be done without unduly affecting latency. (I did my phd in stream processing studying this proposition, and Jonathan Goldstein and others have demonstrated the same thing in Trill.) In the case of AMBROSIA, our latency increase vs gRPC is not because of batching, but is because on waiting for the log to persist in georeplicated storage.
Your 70-year-old grandpa would probably enjoy using a Kindle Fire. My 70+ year old grandma uses hers regularly to play Scrabble. Granted, Amazon's probably doing just as much data collection, but my point stands: Android without Google is possible, by no means obscure, and still reasonably accessible. You just have to know where to look (and come to terms with not having access to Google's ecosystem).
This is probably the most coherent reason for Shuttle existence. Thank you!

I believe that it's only a change in the front-end parser and that logic of this sort is still implemented via the old predicate/multiple clauses trick, but some syntactic sugar is still welcome.
Amen, and worth reiterating.

From what I've heard from amigos working for big ISPs, you can often get 3-6 months of salary, and if you have decent skills (i.e. you've got job options) then it's often a paid vacation while you shop around for other gigs.

Meanwhile if you stay you know there is great acrimony ahead, big changes, lots of clueless newbies coming in, and potentially a crazy-high workload until the dust finally settles.

Why stick around when you can chill for a month, burn one-hitters until your homie at CenturyLink hooks it up, and bone up on certs or skills.
Huh? If you're going to "easily become a multi-millionaire in a handful of years", then your pay is more than pretty good, and certainly not worse than FAANG level.

Eugenics is still practiced in developed countries today. It just became opt-in, e.g. screening pregnant women for downs syndrome, which is standard procedure: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/down-syndrome...

Edit: I'm not saying that's comparable to practices called "eugenics" in the 1st half of the 20th century. Just narrowly responding to "people just stopped [the practice of eugenics]". The Wikipedia article on the subject agrees with this usage of the word, "practices that [aim to] improv[e] the genetic quality of a human population"[1].

There's also the whole topic of "designer babies" which has also been called "new eugenics"[2].

This is admittedly way off-topic from the original discussion. I just thought it was an interesting side-note.

FWIW, Tree Style Tab solved tab groups (and more) for me.

EKS is no more a competitor to K8S than DOK8s is a competitor to K8s. The CNCF Conformance page[1] shows a link to a spreadsheet[2] which indicates there are currently 96 products by 82 different vendors, including 34 hosted platforms like EKS, which are all Kubernetes.

ECS on the other hand, is a so-called "vanilla" container service which provides its own abstractions and offers no suite for conformance, or compatibility with other vendors' offerings. I have not heard lots of people say great things about ECS. If I could say one nice thing, it's that there is probably less to learn about ECS than about Kubernetes.

Whats wrong with just using a proper RSS client?
Context:

Once upon a time I had a stomach virus. The virus left me running to the bathroom frequently, and at its worst stage left me hunched over in the bathroom for the better part of an hour. Additionally, the only separation between the adjacent bedroom and the bathroom was not even a proper door as much as a stall door--it was very easy to hear whatever was going on in the next room.

During this time, my younger brother was in the next room playing MvC2 on the Dreamcast. My brother had this annoying habit of just leaving the system on and walking away when he went to go do something else, rather than turning off the system or the TV. So he did as he usually does and walked away after a match, leaving the game running at the versus menu character selection screen. And so for the next 40 minutes, I was trapped in the bathroom, too nauseated to move, and listening to this on repeat:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY-CeeQLCE4

It was after this incident that I decided to change MvC2's soundtrack.

The Found Footage That Provides a Whole New Look at the Apollo 11 Moon Landing
I can't currently find a link, but I've seen speculation that nuclear explosions on the moon could serve to eject some of the moon's mass. Even a small change would necessarily change the moon's orbit very slightly – and over enough time, the position of Earth-moon system would be quite different from what it would have otherwise been.

(This was proposed as a way to move the Earth out of the path of an approaching body, given enough warning, without actually having to reach the much-further-away approaching body, and alter its path.)
