Having recently switched to Edge Dev after having used Firefox for roughly a year (and Chrome before that), I'd say Firefox devtools' strongest point are the style editing stuff.

Somehow Firefox devtools feel a bit clunkier when working on JS projects but they offer a lot of neat gimmicks if you dig into the depths of CSS. I also find the guidelines when highlighting an element more helpful than in Chromium for aligning elements on the page.

Personally I don't get to use grid layouts as my code has to work in IE11 (I gave autoprefixer a try but in the end it was no significant improvement over flexbox because of all the caveats and limitations). If you do, I'd imagine Firefox devtools would be a gamechanger for you.

I find myself occasionally switching back to Firefox for CSS work, then going back to Edge Dev for everything else.
If he was though, it'd have various implications such as it not being difficult to prove he had access to his own private keys.

I can imagine you might be the guy and not want to prove it, or it to be known. But actively claiming to be the guy and not proving it indisputibly when you could... what'd be the point?
Well, the problem is precisely that rounding as it is generally conceived, is expressed in base 10 - as we generally conceive numbers including floating point ones in base 10. Yet at the lowest level, the representation of numbers is in base 2, including floating point ones. It is imaginable, would be more correct and efficient to perform rounding (or flooring or ceiling, for that matter) in base 2, but it would be that more difficult to comprehend when dealing with non integers in code.
Rounding in base 10 needs some form of conversion anyway, going for the string is one way that is, at least, readable (pun intended).
Education - I think if we can drastically improve it, that is our best chance at solving other problems. Glenn Doman in his book How to Teach Your Baby to Read, said every child has the potential for genius. That has kinda stuck in my mind this thought.

Plastics - the oceans are filling up with them. Stuff is not getting recycled despite people putting things in blue bins. Some research in material science to make something that breaks down faster would be huge
Sure, but their approach is on the other hand more correct. All numerical code reaches a point where you have to balance performance vs. correctness, and here cpython has chosen correctness over speed.

The entire project essentially lives in a series of horizontally scaling node.js processes doing all kinds of things. The worlds are divided into chunks which helps significantly with culling network traffic and distributing the load.

For the database I moved from MongoDB to Postgres. When I started doing Hordes I had very little DB experience and thought that using MongoDB might be a good idea since I am using node. Turns out that Postgres is much better at helping with transactional logic for an MMORPG. Inventory management for example can be constructed almost entirely with constraints, ensuring that the data always makes sense (no two items occupying one slot, that kind of thing).

The alpha used vanillajs for the entire front end, but with the beta I started using Svelte and Rollup, which I would highly recommend for almost anything.
The intent of that sentence is a lot clearer if you also consider the subsequent text, which expands on the idea quite a bit:

> Computers can only natively store integers, so they need some way of representing decimal numbers. This representation comes with some degree of inaccuracy. . . Why does this happen? It's actually pretty simple. When you have a base 10 system (like ours), it can only express fractions that use a prime factor of the base. . .

Perhaps a more formally correct way to put it is that integers (and natural numbers) are the only numbers that a computer can manage in a way that behaves reasonably similarly to the corresponding mathematic set. Specifically, as long as you stick to their numeric range, computer ints behave like a group, just like real integers do. But IEEE floats break the definition of a field in every which way, so they're really not a great match for the rationals.

That said, you could represent the rationals as a pair of integers, and that would be better-behaved, and some programming languages do do that. But I'm not aware of an ISA that supports it directly.
Android and Google Docs are overtaking their main turf, even if it is for regular consumers as of right now, it is still a huge change. The Azure stuff is recent and can't attempt vendor lock-in yet, maybe never, at least not to the extent Windows and Office were able to.

I tried FF dev edition with Angular, it was getting randomly slow. Weird issues popping while debuging typescript code. In the end I have to use Chrome for my work, even though I would like to drop Chrome personaly. That said, I sometimes have to debug Angular applications on IE11 which is worst nightmare...

You assume it's the same product.

If you order electronic components from China, you're never quite sure what you get. You might get the stuff that failed QA testing at the factory, or second-hand stuff that's soldered off some old PCB. Or sometimes you get something else entirely... I ordered some LM35 temperature sensors in the TO-92 package, and got some cheap transistors instead. Case was TO-92, markings where as expected for LM35, but a quick test betrayed what was really inside.

In this case I expected them to be fake, based on the price, I just wanted to see what I got. But even if the part is appropriately priced you can't be sure.

It is an interesting question if it is cheaper to send up food in cans vs send up infrastructure for growing food indoors.
Somewhat offtopic, but is there a reason some many explanations of this issue lump together the fundamental principle of how numbers are represented (integers vs. fractions vs. exact reals (technically impossible) vs. IEEE 754) and the base (decimal vs. binary)? Every time I read something like the explanation on that site, I wonder if I would understand it if I didn't knew it already.
Everything about YouTube doesn't fit my interests or preferences... to such an extent that I use YouTube-DL for almost all the things I watch off YouTube.

Recommendations are almost always garbage and I have no idea why. I also think that the search function is bad, like so bad that's it's somehow dishonest. I routinely run the same searches looking for the same thing but find stuff that was made well before the last time I ran the search... so why didn't the previous search uncover these results?
With enough time and money, I don't see why this is out of the question. Time already changes all norms, so the money just speeds things up. I can absolutely see my society being changed, and I along with it. Smoking has had buckets of money thrown at it to hold it afloat for a long bloody time, but it has only taken 30 odd years to really cast it as being shunned by consistent government health campaigns (Australian perspective here, but we're seeing it elsewhere as well).
You mean it's shameful to receive money directly from the users, and respectable people must have an intermediary for it?

That was rude. I’m telling it like I see it. Did I offend your favorite OS or corporation or something like that? Why get personal with me??

1. OS updates had not been done through settings for a long, long time. However updates to Apples preinstalled applications are done through the App Store... Anyway, if it was OK for Apple to do through their store for 10-15 years, then it should be fine for Microsoft to do something comparable now. Right?

2. There are no ads in the Windows start menu according to your definition either then because Candy Crush simply exists as an icon there. As a matter fact I just setup a new Windows laptop last night and I didn’t see one ad. Just some preinstalled apps.

Are you sure that you know what you’re talking about?
Storing integers as decimal (which computers can do easily) isn't lossy either.
Well, there is the fact that he's a white dude. And makes no attempt to alter his appearance. And, I gather, started from a known location.
In my experience there are few things slower that float to string and string to float. And it seems so unnecessary.

I always implemented round to a specific digit based on the built-in roundss/roundsd functions which are native x86-64 assembler instructions (i.e. https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/roundsd).

I do not understand why this would not be preferable to the string method.

float round( float x, int digits, int base) {
float factor = pow( base, digits );
return roundss( x * factor ) / factor;
}

I guess this has the effect of not working for numbers near the edge of it's range.

One could check this and fall back to the string method. Or alternatively use higher precision doubles internally:

float round( float x, int digits, int base ) {
double factor = pow( base, digits );
return (float)( roundsd( x * factor ) / factor );
}

But then what do you do if you have a double rounded and want to maintain all precision? I think there is likely some way to do that by somehow unpacking the double into a manual mantissa and exponent each of which are doubles and doing this manually - or maybe using some type of float128 library (https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_63_0/libs/multiprecision/do...)...

But changing this implementation now could cause slight differences and if someone was rounding then hashing this type of changes could be horrible if not behind some type of opt-in.
Key word is perception. A society can be very inaccurate in how it perceives its own country.
Take the US, for example. In a recent survey, people were largely off regarding inequality. There are other instances of crooked relationship between entities that people (and laws, even) don't regard as corruption, such as lobbying, affecting perception outcome in surveys.

On my 2017 MacBook Pro with touchbar I don't notice the performance hit, but on my 2015 MacBook Pro the whole system freezes with Firefox. What completely solves this however is enabling 'low res mode' (right click app icon -> get info -> check the low-resolution checkbox). But, as the name suggest, Firefox now runs in non-retina resolution. It looks crappier, but I still prefer it to other browsers.
There is more to it than user-agent and screen size. There are tools out there like fraudfox that are intended to provide a way of masking the information. Last I was involved/interested it could reveal quite a bit of specific information. Typically, advanced fraudsters are capable of beating the systems. There are just too many tools available. Even blocking the trackers with noscript/privacy plug-ins can result in a block. Whatever comes out on the anti-fraud side is commonly just a temporary roadblock. The balance between convenience and security for most companies leans towards convenience.

Learning takes time.

I had an Indian coworker once who freaked out at the airport because the cab driver was black. This was his first trip ever out of his small town in India (late 90s). He was carrying a bit of cash and was worried he was going to have his throat slit. By the time I worked out the reasons for the panic attack, he had already cheesed of the cab guy. When there is a culture clash, these kind of misunderstandings can happen so easily and spiral out of control fast.

We need to become completely carbon neutral in twenty years (at most!). Air travel shouldn't be our top priority, by far, but we need to address it too. Globally it has a small impact because almost nobody can afford it. But for a person in an industrialized nation the relative impact is quite big. When I travel from Germany to SF for example, I roughly double my climate impact for that year.

1. Read software libraries first. If new techniques make it into standard implementations of major libraries, it’s a solid signal the new technique is actually worth your time.

2. Don’t bother with arxiv / conferences / etc., until a paper is at least a year old and remains highly cited & investigated. In DL especially, papers are often slapdash permutations of existing ideas applied with one weird extra trick that ekes out “SOTA” results in one benchmark. Architectural choices are often not motivated by any evidence, and whatever scramble of grad student descent was needed to arrive at the final architecture choice is conveniently left out of the paper (and often would call the result into question from a multiplicity of testing POV).

3. Read what you enjoy. It shouldn’t feel hard to stay current in your main area. If it is feeling hard, you’re trying to force it. Maybe pick a sub-specialty you enjoy and only focus on that for a while.

4. Forgive yourself for not staying current. You are busy, reading research papers takes time & is not often the best use of time compared with competing interests. This is normal. If some situation / job interview / academic program is making you feel otherwise, it’s probably a red flag about that thing.
I think there should be a law that mandates orgs offering SaaS products (probably, with a min. base of users, say >100) to open-source their code, if they decide to sundown it. It almost appears to be the bare minimum, from a consumer protection perspective, for a responsible company (or, even Google) to do.
To my knowledge, no. They said they were working on it ages ago when they introduced the commands API for webextensions, but I don't think it is high on their priority queue.

Men select for youth, fertility, beauty and agreability.

Even in countries where there is arranged marriage, successful men are matched up with more beautiful women (but within equal cast and somewhat equal socio-economic status)

>Families decay when bright, successful men choose women for their beauty.

I don't follow how family decays when beauty is selected. Women can be beautiful and successful at the same time.

>In societies where matchmaking is done by parents or by recognized matchmakers, the outcome is likely much better in terms of creating and maintaining high achieving strains.

It might lead to a stable family on average but it doesn't mean people in such setting are happy.

What I've observed is that countries were arranged marriage is common, women when they are young have lovers in college but they flush down their social media, dress more conservative when time for arrange marriage come, often they also take up a job for short duration to signal independence/education.

In west, where there is more freedom. Young women date handsome men but if such relationship doesn't last long, their priorities change and they look for financially stable average looking men, though if they are lucky they might also get handsome and financially well off man.

It's quite rare for a woman to marry a man who doesn't make as much money as her if not more.
I had similar experiences with a Vuejs application where I rendered thousands of "reactive" elements. The Chromium JS engine had substantially better performance then the Firefox JS engine.

However, to be fair, this is a strong sign that as a developer, we are doing something wrong. If a JS application feels slow on an average browser in an average computer, it will feel slow on all slower computers. The usability will be crap. In this particular example, the frameworks are not suitable for such a large number of "reactive" elements.
