Gentler is a relative term. That fact doesn't refute the assertion that others are worse.
That's simply not true. Every motorcycle that I am aware of (except the old ones with a magneto) has spark plug wires that go directly from a coil, sometimes one per cylinder, sometimes one (with two outputs) for every two cylinders, to the spark plug. They do not go through a distributor. The low voltage wires come from either an electronic module or a set of points (typically one set of points for each coil) which are mounted to one of the crankcase covers, not in a distributor.

And while the ignition cam may or may not be near the alternator or generator, it has nothing to do with it functionally.

My father was a MD and he discouraged me as well of pursuing that path.

My friends who are now doctors make much more money that I do, they are more respected, they don't have to deal with some annoying hierarchy, and their job is meaningful. As for working hours, it really depends on the speciality, and the hours they chose to work. I know some dermatologists who work 4 days a week for instance.

In the end, I don't regret that I chose a different path as I loved maths and programming and I did some interesting things as well. But nowadays I feel just like a worthless pawn, developing crappy programs, who is starting to suffer from age discrimination...

> Global heating is not on par with nuclear war

Global heating is worse.

Nuclear has a worse worst case scenario. But global warming is worse because it's not a hypothetical threat, it's something that is already happening.

Nuclear threat could be (and was) resolved with common sense, but the time to resolve global warming with common sense was 30 years ago. Now our best outcome is to mitigate its effects. In the best case scenario millions will die. Mass migrations and wars are likely to happen. Recent data even say that we might have underestimated the risk.

The planet will be fine, our civilisation might not be.

It could be solved (or helped at least) by a number of capitalism-compatible solutions, such as disrupting fossil fuels with technologies that can produce energy much more cheaply. Once it becomes a no brainer to use solar/wind instead of coal, to the point where you might as well shut the coal plant down (much like you'd shut the CRT TV factory down, or valve radio) then no amount of lobbying will make a difference. Coal usage will drop.

A carbon price would be great though, but doesn't sound like we'd work that out. With a carbon price, a lot more investment could go in to sequestration tech looking for the payout of being the people that remove the most carbon.
> I find it far easier to believe that the consistent global drop in insect populations has far more to do with deforestation and chemical disbursement rather than fractions of degrees of warming that we've seen so far.

You might find it easier to believe, but that doesn't make it so. Ecosystems are interconnected. A degree of warming might not do much to a loan insect in a cage, but a degree can contribute a lot to the spread and range of bacterial and fungal pathogens of insects. It can change how plants behave (they can't get up and move, so have to respond physiologically to survive in the same location), and that change impacts insects. Competitors for the same resources may respond better to temperature rise or other climate related changes. Climate change also changes farmers' behaviour - more pests due to warmer conditions can mean more sprays, which have unintended consequences.
They exist and already make a killing.

The problem is that when Patreon allows high risk activities, those activities poison the well, and all "legit" processors must stop offering their services. Thereby, Patreon is now left with using more high-risk-tolerant processors, but paying the same high fees for all activities regardless of its actual risk.

Chrome's main advantage was/is the limitless ocean of resources of one of the biggest three companies in the world, and incessantly being featured on the front page of the biggest (90%+) search machine in the world.
In terms of contributing to declining market share, my personal opinion is that Mozilla's big mistake with Firefox was killing embedding around 2010.
It was my hope as part of Edge migrating to Chromium that they’d contribute proper native-appearance font rendering, just as they’ve been contributing a few other things now (“To date we’ve made more than 1900 contributions across areas like accessibility, modern input including touch, speech, digital inking, and many more.”).

Chromium’s Windows font rendering is better than it was a few years ago (when it was really pretty awful), but as you say, it’s still not right. Firefox’s font rendering is much truer to the platform conventions.

I hope that this is still on their radar as something to improve.

Try using an old version of Visual Basic. Note how when you type something with a syntax error and then cursor off the line, the IDE will flag up the error with a modal dialog box you have to dismiss before you can continue.

I think this is a major thing that people don't realize is a massive danger.

That is really a separate issue, if I’m recalling correctly, there is a team of Rust devs who specifically are employees by Mozilla Corporation. Also, even with an attempt at ‘team’ independence, Mozilla still owns the Rust trademark and the payables for Rust, things like servers for crates.io, etc are also paid by Mozilla Corp. My point was if an executive with only revenue concerns looks at Rust and sees a team which is not just helping Mozilla, but who attempt to help the industry as a whole, including competitors, it is conceivable that cutting those expenses is an option to pursue. I do not think this is particularly likely (I would assume the expenditure on Rust is minimal compared to the salary and benefits of 70 employees), I was just exploring the rabbit hole the GP comment sent me down.
Pairing programming is like any skill. If you never do it, you will be terrible at it. I also believe that pair programming requires a level of psychological safety that not all orgs possess.

Nothing wrong with "pair programming". It's only natural when people are friendly, engaged and cooperating, in that order.

It's the environment that actively sabotage such way of working, or attempts to mandate it as a ritualistic practice, that is unnatural.

>What usually happens is they stick together in foreigner groups for mutual support.

Which is why proactive government outreach and support is so important. Why trust-building is important. People need to understand the VASTLY different role police play in Japan, and they need that information communicated in accessible ways. Harsh enforcement degrades that trust and creates insularity. Immigrants provide benefits to the host countries' economies, but rather than use some of that wealth to create and foster social programs, host country politicians instead use these communities as a scapegoat for the anger generated by austerity's impacts on the working poor.

Countries want the economic benefits of immigrants without the necessary investment in immigrant communities.

>They maintain their culture and continue living by the same rules they are used to.

Every person understands theft and the effects it has. This notion that the immigrant or their community is somehow inherently lesser or more tolerant or capable of anti-social behavior is textbook xenophobia.

> also misses important features such as multilingual spell checking

The English spell checking is pretty bad, too, giving me at least an order of magnitude more false positives [1] than Safari or Chrome on my Mac, and Edge or Chrome on Windows. Same when compared to things other than browsers, such as Word, LibreOffice, BBEdit, Pages.

What's baffling is that Firefox, LibreOffice, and Chrome all use Hunspell [2], so presumably the reason Firefox spell check sucks compared to LibreOffice is they have a terrible dictionary.

So why doesn't Mozilla just take the LibreOffice dictionary?

[1] In case I've got the terminology wrong for spell checkers, by false positive I mean where the spell checker says that a word is spelled wrong when it is in fact spelled correctly.

It gets sticky on ownership of the corporation and laws restriction how much they can own (depending on their home country) and a bunch of reporting rules. Overall if the co-founder & project is worth it, it isn't anything that isn't manageable, just get an attorney involved to help set it up properly and make sure you understand the corporate tax situation you'll be in. Essentially (a little extreme but not too far from the truth) should the co-founder ever step foot in the US he/she may be liable for having to pay all US income taxes even though they are not a US citizen. Since he would likely own > 10% (or some pretty small number you'd need to ask an attorney) he'd automatically be considered to be conducting business while on US soil and hence the corporation will have to pay payroll/income tax for him/her.

Again, none of it is that "hard" (just can be intricate and complicated to get correct at first), just beware there are a lot of details to work out. IP also gets a little sticky if the co-founder lives in a place a little more lax about IP. Taxes even for the co-founder in his home country can be complicated cause the corporation will likely be required to register in his home country as well since the company would be employing him there. Check out the thread on international remote employees https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21841540. Since he would be a partial owner of the corporation you can't use the contractor method to avoid taxes like most companies do.

Talk to an attorney and a tax accountant/attorney. That way you understand it all, won't cost more than a few hundred dollars to save you a ton of money if you move forward.
My experience of PP has been that it's often a way for one of the devs to prove that they are the smartest person at the desk, and its far from a collaborative effort.

A lot of dev teams suffer from the iamverysmart problem already, and PP just seems like a way to exacerbate it.
> Also: I suspect (but don't have the means to prove) a positive correlation between advertising spending and national GDP.

Is the implication that you believe that's causal? That you think reducing advertising spending would be economically detrimental?

I suspect that isn't true, since it's basically just an arms race. Companies are forced into competing along the axis of marketing (they also choose to since it's more effective than competing on quality), which is a huge money sink.

Also being anti-advertising isn't anti-capitalist. Simply believing that a market should have rules doesn't mean you are anti-market. Personally, I really doubt that advertising is an effective means of job and growth creation. It might even be negative. I suspect capitalism would be healthier without it.

I highly doubt it increases overall consumption, it rather just orients buyers in particular directions, often directions that are detrimental to themselves and to society as a whole.
To be fair, I used to list it.

But I found (n=2) that recruiters/hiring managers got hung up on that one 4 month block vs. the 15+ years of other experience I had on there. One asked "Well if you're going to cut bait and run at the hint of small issue, why hire you?" It's hard to explain, without disparaging the employer, that the 4 months you were there had you in therapy 3 days a week just to keep your sanity :) And it is a he said/they said type situation.

Given how some companies I've worked for used me for their benefit, I feel zero guilt over leaving off the ones that were toxic.

Why? Becoming a publicly traded company comes with assumed responsibilities to make a profit; and, at least in the United States, an assumption that you should reduce your morals for the express purpose of turning a profit, lest your board of directors kick you out for someone that will.

There are greater goals, especially for a company like Mozilla, than making lots of money.
Either way, far more people die prematurely every day from causes due to pollution from coal-fired plants.

> > Defaulting to unusual event->climate change is statistically invalid in the same way as cold snap->no climate change.

> That's technically true, but irrelevant.

I think it's very relevant. If you keep blaming all catastrophies on climate change by default, then as other causes are found one by one, you are discrediting the good name of climate change. This may lead normal non scientist people to become more sceptical of the concept of climate change.

Furthermore, it causes scientists to be scared to point out those alternative reasons. In the worst case, this puts people who fight against climate change into the situation that they have to defend things they know are wrong in order to not tarnish their name.

Climate change is a major problem and the more we fight it at this early point, the lower the toll it takes. Just don't blame everything on it. Otherwise in the long term, you are playing into the hands of the deniers.

> The tab bar is by far the ugliest one of all current browsers, at least on macOS.

It's horrible on all platforms ;) . The way tabs are handled is by far my biggest complaint, you can't fit as many tabs in as with chrome and since they "upgraded" the extension system the vertical tab extensions don't work well (can't remove top tab panel).

I wish they'd just make a native UI for each platform, their cross platform one has always been a train wreck but it's especially bad since they dropped XUL.
I don't understand this sentiment. After years of stagnation at around 911 million tons of CO2 Germany managed to reduce carbon emissions by 40 million tons in 2019 alone. The only thing that changed was a spike in the price of EU CO2 certificates which resulted in less electricity being produced from coal. It's absurd that this incredible progress is held back by the fear of losing 20k coal jobs when the reality is that those 20k coal jobs prevented the creation of hundreds of thousands in the renewable energy sector.

Even if you think the whole thing is a scam you see that having a grand mission to invest in modern technology is an incredibly effective jobs program just like sending people to the moon. Nobody has gone to the moon again but we still benefit from all the research from that era.
