Of course there’s lots more. The world is full of stuff. If you live in a city, there should be a ton of things going on. Go to a museum. See a show. Meet up with friends. Find meetups about things you’re passionate about or interested in. Volunteer. Learn a new language.

If you’re not in a city, there are plenty of hobbies that might interest you. Anything fitness / sports. Learn to draw / paint. Take courses online. Read books. Sculpt. Build. Tinker. Cook. Mediate.

Find things that are relaxing to challenging, so you have options depending on your day.
Well, except there are other versions of Firefox (such as developer) where you could install it. This is for the base vanilla version, if you will.

This is the sort of chilling effect that increased corporatization of society can have - but doesn't necessarily have to. Forbidding the sale of legal items, is a form of increased censorship, one society seems to be okay with.

> Linux just has far far more commits and files to deal with

Not really. I work with Mercurial every day, in a FAANG company's monorepo which is many many times the size of the Linux kernel. It's not always pleasant, but it's not clear git would be any better. Mercurial's performance issues are solvable, have been solved to a large degree, but IIRC when git started that was not the case. It's a shame really. The fragmentation is annoying sometimes, even if it's the result of historical accident rather than any bad decisions made at any particular moment in time.

That's what happens when Amazon has a monopoly. Many customers will only look on Amazon and won't buy anywhere else.
Ah this is interesting, I often find it quite difficult theres company guilds where I try to network. But its hard to keep going to these when I'm always so busy. Often I look through github and org charts and try to work out who could potentially help me based on the code they've written but it's a bit of nightmare. I'd be interested to hear how other people do it. I know in some companies they have a skill matrix, but not sure how this scales.
Git is great but all the major drawbacks stem from this design as well? Immutability and a full copy cause public rebase headaches, extremely large repos (before LFS) and the lack of partial checkouts to name a few.

Doesn't it show more of the drawbacks of this functional data structure?

SEEKING WORK | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Remote Only

Native iOS developer, experienced in refactoring old code as well as writing in modern Swift. Previous experience includes senior positions at various multinational companies, all of them with apps in top 5-15 of their respective categories.

I have been remote for 5+ years, and would prefer to stay so, but if there's an amazing opportunity that requires a little bit of onsite time, I would be glad to discuss!

I don't have much, if any, of open source work, as I have been very focused on my apps (which are also my hobbies). In my off-time, I have worked on personal apps that I some day hope to make successful in their own right, but those that I intend to use regularly.

Flexible about availability, timeline, schedule.

The goal isn't selfish. Its collectively reducing the power of the scrutinizer by taking a small hit overall to protect yourself and others.
If nearly everyone is doing it wrong, the problem is Scrum.
Incorrect. As has been made clear previously, you can still install unsigned extensions if you're using Beta, Nightly, or Developer Edition, which are intended for power users. The discussion here is around the vanilla, mainstream version of Firefox. They still support power users.
Fred Beckey really was an absolute legend in the world of mountaineering - he was known worldwide as the original climbing bum, and one of the world's finest alpinists - right up there with the likes of Walter Bonatti.

Given that chauffeuring is driving and we were driving before Uber existed, it seems strange that people expect compensation when driving for Uber and count it as part of their labor time?
People should and people have. A century ago, unions declared massive strikes for these and other issues.

A normal, sane job is not as rare as winning the lottery. Entire countries have people working very normal, sane hours. Americans need to stop tolerating these ridiculously long hours. Do 8 hours of good work for 5 days a week, then relax, sleep well, so you start your next day well-rested and ready to deliver another 8 hours of good work. This is a sane balance. Working more than you rest is not. Sacrificing your health and your life for your employer is idiocy.

The problem this is addressing is a code being impenetrable by a human. If your solution is adding a second (human readable) code beneath the machine readable code...you haven't addressed the problem. The user must still trust their reader to parse the code.

QR codes' reconstructability is a major strength that this lacks, but I'd bet there's a way to expand this to include ECC around it, much as QR codes can.

BUT...OCR is quickly advancing, so the need for a specialized code a specialized machine can read will diminish over time anyway.

Oh ok, so your personal definition of evil just includes every belligerent act.
> If you're making extensions and distributing them by hand to your friends you're so far outside the mainstream of Firefox users that you might as well not exist and they shouldn't be making decisions based on your usage patterns.

They should just release a Firefox preskool edition for Joe Average User.

But this is a great example of the rot in Mozilla. When Apple or Google sacrifice functionality to appeal to users that don't like computers, it is because they make more money by expanding their platform.

When Mozilla sacrifices functionality to try to attract new users, then what? They aren't really making any money off of it. They are just getting new users for the sake of it.

If Firefox has to remove so much functionality to become more popular, than why bother at all?

It is like if everyone is eating McDonalds, and you are selling healthy produce, but only 20% of the population ever wants your healthy food. So you start coating your healthy food in sugar and deep frying it. Even if you win, you lose.

> This is aimed at Joe Average User who maybe downloaded a program from sourceforge and suddenly every user on the computer has Myway Search installed, or something with serious privacy problems that's injecting itself into every web page they visit.

I think this is a lie. I mean, yes it does mitigate a specific kind of malware injection, sure. But if someone already can write to your filesystem, then it is game over. If Firefox actually had any marketshare and was a big enough target to care about, malware could simply inject malicious extensions some other way. Having the web browser trying to secure itself on a compromised system is a fool's errand. And it is not a justification for such a massive regression in functionality. It is not a rational decision.

I strongly suspect that it was a rational decision for Google to do this with Chrome; to put up roadblocks for users trying to have too much control of their browser, and justify it in the name of security. And then Mozilla irrationally copied them. Because they are a Google cargo cult.
Thank you for taking the time to write that comment. Everyone is tired and a bit too sensitive now and, even if I don't agree with many of the things you say, I sincerely appreciate that you are trying to give your reasons and answering questions, and helping to keep the discussion civilized.

If you don't mind, I will response to your points one by one. Feel free to not respond if you don't feel like it.

> Cultural freedom.

I think we will agree the situation has greatly improved in the last 40 years. I also agree with you it has to improve more. There is indeed some reject to everything related to Catalan culture by a minority in the centre of Spain. I have seen similar attitudes in the other side (hate for everything related with Spain). At least where I'm from (deep Castille), most of these people will be death in the next 20 years. Unfortunately, this is changing right now, due to the last events (from both sides).

> Money.

Any wealthy region has to help poorer regions for the greater being. Where to put the line is a matter of personal opinion. Although I don't share it, I respect your opinion that the line should be the border of Catalonia.

> Corruption.

This is as much a Spanish problem as a Catalan problem. Everybody in Spain (and everywhere else) is against corrupt politicians (even the corrupt politicians if you ask them!).

> Future and public services.

Again, everyone wants that, and this is not an "Spanish problem".

As you correctly say, it's up and down. Up is powerful, really powerful. When you need to fight a powerful force, looking for cooperation is always more useful than confrontation. You will find strong support all over Spain for these demands, or most of them. As you will find support to have a fairer justice system, or against the anti-riot police (everyone who has been at the other side at some point hates them). I understand these problems, but I do not see how independence will solve them. In some cases, I think all this "proces" is just making it worse.

But we do not need to agree. It is ok if we have different opinions. Again, thank you for a civilized discussion (it's getting harder and harder these days).

SEEKING FREELANCER | Philadelphia & New York | Local only

We are a development shop that focuses on software craftsmanship. Our calling is to help companies create amazing, intuitive web & mobile applications, APIs, products, and services.

Pair programming, continuous integration & delivery, kaizen, and TDD/BDD aren't just ideas we pay lip service to, but core practices of our day-to-day work.

We love polyglots. We use lots of Ruby, Python, Elixir, and JavaScript (mostly React and React-Native).

As PromptWorks grows, so does demand on our engineering team. We often find ourselves fielding development inquiries from excellent clients working outside our preferred stacks and expertise or we occasionally don’t have enough staff to fill out a team with employees. In those cases, we like to work with seasoned, versatile contractors that are excited to dive in. We are seeking experienced freelance engineers to mutually expand our business.

Skills we are currently looking for:

• Ruby & Rails
• Elixir & Phoenix
• Kubernetes, Docker, AWS Lambda
• Python
• React, Angular
• React Native
• .NET
• iOS, Android

Discrimination on the part of gatekeepers isn't the only thing that can keep minorities out. A culture that tells them not to try doing it because it isn't their assigned role, a fear of being the only one of their group among a majority of another group, and earlier discrimination that prevents them from getting qualifications but isn't the fault of the gatekeeper could all be responsible. Given the information I know and what has been brought up in this discussion, University mathematicians could have been perfectly willing to hire women.
That's certainly an option if people were to offer. There are several charities that do offer such things. This administration will not entertain that suggestion because the goal is to maximize the pain inflicted on immigrants and refugees in an ill-conceived attempt to stem the tide via fear.

Flip can be said, I know of a few sellers that sell on eBay and buy from Amazon.

No one is debating that Amazon is larger, you just said the buyers are not on eBay... which is simply not true at all.
This has been long coming. At least 15 years ago I was at a global Cisco conference and I met the regional manager for emea and Northern Africa. His biggest hurdle was getting companies in his region to buy from a US vendor. In contrast, China would show up with loans, equipment, services and it was not just a company, but a team effort. We often see things through the perspective of the Cold War where Western Europe was effectively a satellite state of the United States. It ceased to be that when the Berlin Wall came down. Historically Europe has had stronger ties with its eastern partners (don’t forget the whole reason Colombus even came to America in the first place was to find a route to eastern markets). So it would not surprise me in the least that Europe would over time revert to its historical alignment regardless of who the American president is.
