What do you say about the people that love Chicago and swear by how much fun it is [in college and for happy hour]

Just part of a privilege divide?
I left Firefox because of its memory consumption on MacOS. Have they fixed it?
haha. that's a good one.
Firefox will still often call for the dedicated GFX card (boosting battery usage) and then refuse to let it go even if you close the tab. I generally switch to Safari when I'm trying to maximize battery life.

Did anyone needed this? I don't think so. In my country we have a cctld for tourism and most companies don't care neither do clients.
People need lots of things that they won't buy because they don't care. People need to eat healthier and exercise to avoid diabetes and stuff. But people don't. And asking what people need is a loaded question as well, since people don't "need" anything. You might need things to live (you classic food water shelter), but some people might not want to live - think physician assisted euthanasia.

Ans as to points 1 and 2, those people are not your target customer.
Many blacks in Chicago are killed each year, almost always by other blacks. That's not primarily the fault of the "rich".

Memory, and CPU on a retina MBP in my case. The bug is still open, with no signs of being fixed anytime soon. I really do want to switch back, but this is a deal breaker.
It seems this fixation on the shiny "interesting" jobs is another problem. I'm not getting any younger and I don't doubt there is some ageism in the industry but if we're biasing the search to only include FAANG and a handful of other darlin companies then that's not really a fair analysis of the situation.

Anecdotal but I've seen >40 year old engineers thriving at non tech-hub software companies. There's plenty of interesting B2B companies that lurk in the suburbs or tier-2 or tier-3 cities.

Is the OOM problem still there even after Quantum release? This was the main turn off factor for me with FF long ago, and when the OOM fails to even trigger, the famous swap thrashing occurs.

I tried again with Quantum, but then there were still stability problems causing the whole browser to lock up (just like Edge. But same problem existed in FF since long ago too), so I've never tried it anymore since then. Twice bitten, thrice shy.
Although I agree large companies would not need to, and probably have very strong rules against it. I can also see various unscrupulous lead engineers / middle managers doing exactly this.

I had a similar experience back a number of years ago. They did offer me a job, but it was not a good offer.
How many sites does Amazon need?
> global internet

this is a good time as any to remind that the vast majority of the world is under illiberal regimes and religious dictatorships and a "global internet governance" would outnumber free, liberal countries 2 to 1.

you'd need to start putting barriers and borders to the committee to avoid regime using it to steer the internet toward oppressive goals, and there's not one way of partitioning it that would make the whole thing politically acceptable by the countries making the cut and by those not making it. it'll become just another bargaining chip on the international political bickering, at which point competing business interest under a liberal constitution start to seem a more reasonable compromise.
I don't believe that people are actively breaking software. It is simply a side-effect of how progress happens in this industry.

Computers are made up of many small parts the same with software, every component comes from different vendors and they are all working asynchrously to each other and adjusting to the changes around them every time they update or make a new component.

Each new change looks like a tiny leap-frogging, but if you don't update or rearchitechture for a long while it becomes an insurmountable to task to update because the whole world has moved away from under you. Not by monumental breaking changes but by thousands small changes that has added up.
Yes, I agree, the tax deduction is the fee that grants public access..
Tree Style Tab is another option, allowing vertical tabs with nested hierarchy: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-ta...

As someone that likes to use open tabs as a sort of todo list, I can't live without that extension. Allows me to keep different trees open for various purposes: PRs in one tree, Issues in another, academic/scientific paper to-read list, forum posts, etc
> It’s doubtful whether there even is a distinct German-American identity

Because comics will laugh someone out the room for describing their German Swiss but also Irish heritage. Actively encouraging people to “just say white” when within the confines of America or earshot of any Americans

Its probably unproductive

There are nuances associated with heritage that can let you understand people better

When Im in Europe or Commonwealth countries people seem way more interested in where I’m from than any muddied grouping of color:heritage ratio. Would like to see that in the states
Is there any way to select multiple tabs and drag them around in FF like you can in Chrome?

Edit: Holy smokes, it works now! How long has that been a thing?

Shift will select the tabs between current and clicked, while Ctrl will select / deselect clicked tab.
Small numbers with many representations are much more common than the full width ones.

> You dump carbon emissions into the air; nobody charges you (editing for clarity - I'm talking about breathing).

And from your vehicle(s), and from your yard equipment, and from your fireplace, and probably from your heating system, and maybe from your kitchen, and maybe from your clothes dryer, and so on. And don't even get me started on things like outdoor grills, which could be considered major polluters (along with fireplaces and such). Heaven help us if the EPA ever decides to crack down on this stuff, especially enforcing PM 2.5 restrictions, because this could potentially have a major impact on us at home.
Cool or fun for who? The user or the startup? For the user, cool fun entertaining things solve a clear problem, boredom, and ease a pain, the fact that they aren't as cool as other people in their life, and the product can fix their dissatisfaction. Keeping up with the Jones's and boredom are very valid problems and drivers, and an early adopters desire to have the greatest and latest tech to show off is a real pain you can assuage.

Chicago has a murder rate of 18.5 per 100,000 residents. That's high, but that's not "Oh, that's why all the poor people die younger" levels, not even close.

Take your racism somewhere else.
I never felt unsafe living there for 7 years. But I lived in northside neighborhoods, worked in loop and Wicker Park.
I think the same answers hold for a large set of "what's stopping us from making computers better in dimension X". You can explain the cause of the unsatisfactory state as lack of incentives and software inertia, and you can also say that it's fixable at a cost.
Yes, like Microsoft, once they had established themselves as an engineering company with consumers of not-fully-developed product, they were then able to exploit the anti-reuse/recycling angle more lucratively than their engineering.
use the shift key while selecting the tabs.
For passwords the browser's built in management is inferior to password managers.

I use 1Password (most polished) and there's also Bitwarden (hosted, but open source) and others. And I use my password manager every day, so if there's a cost associated, it's worth it.
I knew that someone would reply with asbestos when I wrote that. "simple structure" is there to exclude asbestos.

The issue is not that it reduces interest in open source. In fact the article states there's evidence that open source solutions are getting renewed attention in the Chinese government.

The issue is that the executive order would make it unlawful to share technology with foreign adversaries. So it effectively forces open source projects to hard fork along geopolitical boundaries. For example, if (and these are still if's) Huawei were to be designated a foreign adversary; and, if Huawei were to develop a RISC-V implementation of interest; it would be unlawful for a US person to use that implementation, or otherwise "acquire" said technology from Huawei.

The underlying premise of the executive order, as I understand it, is that technology developed by, or under the influence of, foreign adversaries is potentially tainted. Thus to defend the US national security interest, US persons shall be penalized for using their technology.

Thus the concern is that US-based open source developers and users would be directly at risk by interacting with the very projects you cite, should they fall under the influence of a foreign adversary.

Or to put it more concretely: ARM might be very happy if Huawei were designated a foreign adversary, and Huawei invested heavily in RISC-V. Because then ARM could lobby US lawmakers to rule that RISC-V technology is tainted under the theories contained in the executive order, thus reducing competition from open source alternatives.

Not much content in this article. A single benchmark which shows nothing of real-life cases. Two minor technical features, one of them already in Chrome beta. Lastly, an appeal to fight Chrome's monopole. Surprisingly, not a word about privacy.

I do give Firefox a chance, but it gets tiring.

Many years ago, I dropped Firefox's ancestor for Opera 6. The UI and the features were miles ahead (e.g. Mozilla had no tabs). Yet I wanted to support free software so, once in a while, I tried to use Mozilla/Firefox again, but so many features where lacking, and the reactivity was really bad. When Opera dropped their engine and UI to become a new Chromium derivative, I switched to Firefox. I tried to get used to it, but for the past year my main desktop browser has been Vivaldi, a Chromium derivative.

I still use Firefox, but I'm getting more and more irritated against it. I had to search the web in order to change the tile of empty tabs (no buttons, no context menu, only drag-n-drop from bookmarks). Who designed such an unguessable interface?

I can't stand horizontal tabs in my brower. The Tree Style Tab extension was a strong point of pre-quantum FF, though its CPU usage was noticeable. Unfortunately, it's been a pain since I upgraded to Quantum, with many bugs and slowness.

Another example: my last FF ESR upgrade introduced a calamitous rewrite of the download interface. It's inconsistent, error-prone and ridden with several bugs. For weeks, I duplicated many downloads because the notification is absurdly small and quick. Now I've learned to click on the FF icon to check if the download started.

A last example: this morning, I selected 5 finished downloads and removed them. No reaction for 2 seconds, so I pressed the key again, just as the suppression begin, in slow motion. It took FF 3 seconds to remove 6 entries from the log.

With uBlock against tracking, DDG+Qwant for search, and a custom cookie handler (no third-party, white-list for those that persist after a tab closes), I don't think FF has anything to offer me on privacy. So the only reasons that keep me interested in Firefox are Free Software and Web diversity. I'm afraid these moral incentives don't weight much against many practical reasons.
They're only this successful because consumers prefer them. There's not some noble meaning or morality to having a "mom-n-pop" store.
One of the biggest examples of how a leader of technical people will influence their performance by either bringing them up toward a lofty leadership level, or in the case where a leadership position is held by a party less technically qualified than the ones they are in a position to lead, the performance will be ground down to the lesser level, with the relative bozoness becoming more prominent than the underlying technical ability of the workforce through time.

Even with smaller "organizations" or institutions the momentum of the time factor involved when reversing between wisdom and foolishness can really obscure the true sources of the wisdom or foolishness to begin with.
From developer point of view, isn't this a bit of a false dilemma? I have open, at the moment:

- Safari (general browsing)

- Safari Technology Preview (studying, reference)

- Chrome Canary (development, debugging)

- Chrome (main QA)

- Firefox (work account related stuff)

- Brave (consuming video content)

This is all on MacBook Air from 2013, so performance concern is also a moot point really.

Some people go into jobs because they actually want to make the world a better place. I don’t wish to speak for the average police officer because I have only met two socially, one British one Australian, but I like to think that most apples [1] (police officers) are good, not bad.

[1] A few bad apples spoils the whole barrel. Most people seem to miss the last half of that sentence.
>"What do US schoolteachers assigning The Diary of Anne Frank say about it, these days?"

As a depressing guess, unless they are still working off the censored edition, it may well be something along the lines of; 'This reading material is unsuitable due to lesbianism, we must remove all editions from the school library immediately!'
What need or benefit?

I have no idea what you are trying to convey, I do not think you understood the concept.

I'm not talking about security.
"XY officers were injured during a police action at protest somewhere" doesn't mean the protesters injured them. You (and sometimes journalists) read things into police press releases that just aren't in there.
Most would expect that to be the Amazon store in Brazil, similar to amazon.de or amazon.fr.

It would be funny, if not poetic justice, if Brazil decided to do just that following this decision. Likely Amazon would sue them and an arbitration court would side with Amazon though.
Probably more than Amazon.

There are several countries, multiple markets, and potentially countless government agencies or local companies operating in the area.

Wind towns do exist, and are right now getting destroyed, with many people losing their jobs left and right due to the current conservative german government preferring coal and reducing the money that goes into renewables.

Interesting thought, but I know many programmers (ages ranging from 40 to 70) who refuse to go into anything managerial. I suppose love-of-the-game muddies the waters for that kind of filter.
That's in the best case. It's worse when a link gets broken or redirects to an irrelevant page. They seem to break a large chunk of links every year or so.
So you’re saying if you see someone over fifty writing code, odds are they’re not very good at it? That’s a nasty prejudice.

I would like to think, MeeGo survived in an alternate universe with Microsoft forming the 'Open handset alliance' instead of Google; but then that could mean intel taking a monopoly in smartphone chipset considering it was co-developer of MeeGo instead of ARM.

I like to have ARM where it is now, just for the sake of democratising computation. Full fledged linux on smartphones is taking shape in the form of SailfishOS, Ubuntu Touch (UBPorts), postmarketOS etc. They could scale up with manufacturers like Pine releasing devices such as PinePhone.

Meanwhile, Google is moving away from Linux for their mobile devices with Fuchsia.

I was riding on an airplane back to Chicago after visiting Dallas. As the plane took off, the woman next to me started crying uncontrollably. Sometime before takeoff, she had just learned that her husband was murdered. I got the f_ck out of Chicago.

I was robbed in Chicago twice, once successfully, once not. A person was murdered on my street corner, probably because the perpetrator thought they could get away with it because of the victims skin color and the way they looked.

I would say to those college kids that they probably don't get out enough. Perhaps they live in a far northern suburb, removed from the problems of the city
Is the only reason to create a startup to experience exponential growth and get really rich and have your own stock symbol?

Or, could someone create a lifestyle business and call that a startup? Where the goals might be simply to make a living doing what you love without working for some big company somewhere?

Or maybe could someone create a startup that makes the world a better place without concern for getting oneself crazy rich?

I am not a fan of the idea that the only driving motivation for establishing a small tech company is to make the VC's happy.
RIF?? Rest in feace?
> and you think that deceptive Police reports are thus tolerable.

I'll often cross check reporting with the actual police press releases and the deceptiveness tends to be in the reporting, not the press release. The press release might say something along the lines of "58 officers participated in a police action at the blah-blah protest, where 15 officers and 19 protestors were injured". Then the reporting will become "Blah-blah protestors injured 15 officers". Non sequitur.
It does sadden me a bit that they don't make their own software anymore. For productivity it's so hard to beat their older OS and even OS10 is slick (I still use it today). It was strange though because their architecture supports android apps but you can't download them out-of-the-box.
To be fair, you will learn a lot more getting a garbage collected language to run bare metal runtime and all.

But that neighborhood in particular has a higher murder rate, as it's described as "one of Chicago's most violent". In fact, the article itself blames the low life expectancy partly on violence: "The violence, of course, drives down life expectancy and health outcomes."
I'm guessing: Reduction In Forces.

Ie "You will be downsized."
But then you have to somehow prove a fake is a fake. That's not easy now, and will only get harder.
Wouldn't "water running out" be the result of financial resource allocation failure (towards energy production and desalination) caused by politics, rather than the lack of resources per se?

Safari is a good browser due to it being the most battery efficient on MacOS.

However its content blockers are inferior to what's available on Firefox. It's also not portable, so if you use various devices (Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, MacOS) it's pretty cool having your history synchronized.

Firefox is really good for privacy. For example you can sandbox Facebook with Firefox's containers extension such that they can't follow you around the web.

Firefox is probably the best for power users. I usually use it with more than 100 tabs opened. Its tree-style tab extension and the Awesome Bar makes it painless.

Firefox is also good as a development browser. It lags behind Chrome in some areas but is ahead in others.

At work I only use Chrome for testing our web interface, but I use Firefox most of the time, even on my iPhone (nice UI plus the sync).
