Users have not 'decided', they've had something rammed down their throats that they might not have picked if not for some pretty obvious anti-competitive behavior by Google.

By your book might makes right, because Google was able to push users to convert in various ways - some of which should be or even are illegal - and it worked for them they must be delivering something that people need. But it wasn't a free choice.
All points I generally agree on, except that this isn't a discussion with Mozilla about improving Firefox. This is a discussion about Chrome that diverged into a discussion about Firefox in a very general manner. You may not be stifling feedback, but you're riding on the assumption that feedback is the purpose of the discussion going on, which it is not.

You keep bringing up this point about feedback that is irrelevant to the actual conversation at hand. Nitpicking feedback is kind of useless and pedantic when the purpose isn't to be feedback.

Individual business owners often have that attitude. It’s when they go public that the profits are not also linked to the social standing of the owner and the appetite for dollars runs away.

I have to run a dedicated Win10 box because native Office automation is a huge part of what I do. I've had to go to lengths to get the LTSB (and am working on the LTSC) license because it's the only version of Win10 that's controllable + secure. I also have a 2015 MBP for my Adobe Creative Suite workflow. All of my dev infra is Debian 10. Best tool for the job yo.

I'm not going to bury my head in the sand and use tools that are only 20% performant because "ideals". I'll do my best to switch over (which I did for over a month) and if it's not working out I'm gonna ditch. I have to use Chrome until FF gets on the same level. I'm a startup engineer - I can't afford to neuter my productivity, I have to use the best tool for the job.

We don’t have any automatic enforcement at my current company. At edX, and on personal projects, we used Codecov to enforce 95% coverage on all new code, and 95% coverage across the entire repo. The exact numbers varied with the current state of the repo, but this was the default for all new repos.

While the number was high, we did recognize when testing might cost more than it benefitted is, so we occasionally used comments to ignore coverage of some branches.
The blindspot most people have here towards atrocities committed by Western governments is really striking. The United States regularly invades other countries (causing hundreds of thousands of deaths in Iraq, destroying Libya), armed Sunni extremists in Syria, backs the Saudi dictatorship and the Israeli occupation, is economically strangling Iran and Venezuela, ran a global abduction and torture operation, still runs a global assassination program, and spies on the communications of billions of people around the world. Yet suddenly, everyone is up in arms about China as the threat to the world that must be stopped. This sudden paranoia just happens to coincide with American foreign policy interests - preventing the rise of a challenge to American hegemony.

A couple months ago it was Russia. Now it's China. In a year from now, it will be the next country it's convenient to US foreign policy to hate.

I think this is missing the point. Assigning blame doesn't really matter - one works for his use case and one doesn't. When you're trying to get work done the path of least resistance is more preferable than using software that performs poorly because of your ideals.

But to answer your question: If they are based on the same code, yes. I don't see why you wouldn't.
Did you ever see the WTC in person? I found that it had a surprising number of sensitive human-scale details. Didn't read as such from afar, but up close it was no less humane than the Gherkin.
It’s best not to get hung up on formality. Lisp (and expecially arc) are powerful due to what they can do, not due to what they define. Racket might disagree with that though.

From a prototyping perspective it would be a waste of time and overly constraining to define what numbers are or what you can do with them. That’s best left to the implementation.

I can hear everyone groaning in unison with that, but trust me. Nowadays every implementation will choose some sensible default for numbers. If you transpile bel to JS, you get JS’s defaults. Ditto for Lua. But crucially, algorithms written for one generally work for the other.
So the endgame is probably that we have to switch from "adblockers" to "contentallowers": Filter everything and whitelist content?

> Well, I strongly ask why you think that. My logic is that if your government is below average at administering schools, then assuming people perform rather averagely, any other institution or organization has a better chance of providing better schooling than the government.

If your people supply a government that is below average at administering schools, there is no reason to assume that your people would be average or better at administering schools through any other mechanism, and there are clear reason to expect that education does not have the features that allow some real markets to approximate the performance of ideal markets; particularly the utilities are temporally distant from the purchase decision, not easily clearly associated with the purchase decision, and not received by the purchaser.

I don’t have any personal objections with how Bezos decides to use his money, but to your point of books — how’s your local library? I recently realized I was spending some non-negligible amount of money on books every month and switched to the local library. It obviously depends on where you live but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. It’s a fantastic system of local libraries and they’ve all the titles I want to read. There’s a wait for new titles, like Snowden’s book will need me to wait a couple of months, but anything older than a year is almost always available. As the book loan is for 21 days, it also forces me to finish my reading within this time.
I'm not ruling out that you're right. Only time will tell, I guess.

Though, if this is such a reasonable, common sense idea, there must be other cities that have also implemented something like it. What are their track records?
That would be irresponsible speculation on my part, so no thanks.
> a far cry from recruiting folks to dump napalm on villages or use Iraqi farmers as target practice

It's not. People get recruited to look the other way as Uyghur graveyards get disappeared, not to mention what is done to people. The main difference is that the Winter Soldier hearings didn't just take place, you can still watch them on American websites, or buy the movie from American sellers. Or take this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Tribunal

> The Russell Tribunal was included by historian Guenter Lewy as part of a "veritable industry publicizing alleged war crimes", as increasing numbers of American servicemen were stepping forward with published accounts of their experiences with atrocities, and scholars and peace organizations were holding tribunals dealing with war crimes.

That is not at all comparable with the situation in China. And even as bad as COINTELPRO was, notice the difference between https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO#Intended_effects and "disappear anyone deemed an enemy, disappear who talks about it, if the people protest, roll over them with tanks". We also don't only ever hear about the Kent State shooting from people living in exile, or see it in archives of non-US news organizations.

There is propaganda on both sides, but basically zero criticism or reflection (allowed within earshot of the government) on just one of them. That the crickets are chirping under the CCP while atrocities of the US military are heavily publicized and discussed, also by American filmmakers and journalists, in itself says a lot.
Postgres 10 introduced native table partitioning and it became much easier to use in postgres 11. This will let you divide large tables into smaller ones that can be queried more efficiently

Rails 6 introduced multiple databases natively in activerecord. You can more easily have read only databases or segment off high write workloads.

Foreign tables are a way to allow bringing in data from multiple databases into one so it “looks” like everything is in a single db. This got better/faster, particularly with joins in postgres 12.

Also consider things like materialized views or even plain views which can help bring together just the right data you need ahead of time.

Just a couple options off the top of my head.

> Like all hypotheses, it cannot be proven true, only disproven by contradictory evidence.

This is true, but not helpful, because it's a framework that treats all probabilities except 0 and 1 as equivalently vague. Anthropogenic climate change > 1℃ is extremely likely, 99%+ probability. It could be wrong, but it's not useful skepticism to just say "it could be wrong" about everything. The IPCC is putting out good probabilistic forecasts. Scientists are doing the work of testing the hypothesis. As new evidence comes out, we should respond to it. In the present, we have to act using the probabilities we have.
I think one of the biggest questions about our universe is whether life is unique to Earth. It's pretty silly and self centered to assume that we're unique, but we don't really have any real way to confirm or deny the question outside of the ability to find signs of life within our solar system. So yes, finding signs of life on Mars is basically answering one of the most fundamental questions about our existence.
I think about this whenever I hear someone complain that windmills "spoil the natural landscape". There isn't a natural landscape - not anymore. Those pretty green fields and hedgerows you see in rural areas? As artificial as the Hoover dam, and as destructive to the former ecosystem. Unless you're putting windmills in Yellowstone National Park, you're not ruining anything that wasn't already ruined.

(Also, it's ironic that despite the amount of criticism on aesthetic grounds they catch, compared to most things that generate power windmills are virtually ecologically invisible.)

I think you should look more in to FF financials. They are not exactly as liberated as you are thinking.

There is the Mozilla Foundation which holds all the IP, governs development, and provides supporting infrastructure.

Then there is the Mozilla Corporation-- the profit seeking portion of the conglomerate. They are guiding product development and contracts which will either bring profit now, or in the future. Think about their big forced Pocket feature. This is a future profit driver, if it is not already.

Source where FF gets the lions share of their funds.

I'm not saying they are bad, but use some critical thinking and stop making corporations heros, generally. Hold them accountable.

Be aware, use your voice, vote with your patronage.
When flat-out denial slowly morphs into "maybe it isn't a huge deal", one must question if that is actually what they mean.
I have owned 3 different smart watches, including android wear, cheap chinese fitness bands... My gf got a fitbit charge 3 for a health study and I decided to get one as well. Sleep and hr tracking is the most accurate from what I tried, I get notifications and battery lasts a week+ plus water resistant overall is the only wearable worth using IMHO. I'm happy with it and would recommend.
Clearly a lot of people like Firefox and enjoy Firefox.

The point of my comment is a lot of people have various real issues with Firefox that make them prefer Chrome and those people should be listened to rather than dismissed. The tone of Firefox advocates responding to critics is often aggressive and dismissive.

Even my comment, which says "Don't dismiss the critics!" is presently in the negative.

Yes. The Supreme Court has two very memorable recent decisions that cause us to question the viability of our (2 party) democracy.

1) Bush v. Gore 2000: only time the court ever issued a decision, knowing that it was totally vaporous, and said this should not be used as future precedent. The entire point of the court is to set precedent.

2) Citizens United: continuing the notion that companies deserve as much protection as people.

Pair those together and it becomes hard to claim that the US is a democracy at all. The court has some other notoriously bad decisions, but I hope they eventually come down on the side of democracy in regards to gerrymandering, despite the recent rulings.
Yeah, they’ve historically been pretty good at that, making quite a few quick bucks in financial services leading to one of the highest standards of living for a neighborhood acting as a country, and their bilateral treaties are crafty and well maneuvered

I recommend using the "Open With" extension with mpv. This allows you to right click on any sort of video link that youtube-dl supports and launch that link in mpv. mpv has a "stay on top" feature that can be enabled by default when mpv is invoked in this way. The result is picture-in-picture that supports virtually every video site on the net.

<beginExasperation> I don't understand how people who everywhere else love minimalism, refuse to give up the unnecessary parens (whitespace suffices). If the advice is not to look at them, and they are not needed, why have them at all! Every lisp program begins with a syntax error! That doesn't cause alarm bells to go off in people's heads? The commenter above says because parens-less lisp has been tried for 60 years and hasn't caught on it's evidence that it won't work. Sixty years is a blink! Binary notation is 330 years old. Indian numerals about 1,000 years old. Lisp is still in its infancy and things can be improved. </endExasperation>

Historically that has been seen as a Linux issue- while I agree its frustrating that web developers don't always test with Firefox, games/software not working on Linux was something the Linux community tried to fix with projects like WINE. Even now, Valve is doing more work for Linux compatibility for games than most studios.
It helps that the Teams UI is a tyre fire - or at least it was for a long time until I just stopped using it.

I'm sorry for Astropad as they have made such a good product, but to be honest, this doesn't feel like Astropad being sherlocked; I'm pretty sure Apple was experimenting with this from the very first iPad Pro.
