Yeah, and Firefox is a corporation that gets hundreds of millions of dollars a year from Google, whose CEO gets paid about $2 million a year.

I won't get into their politics, because frankly they shouldn't matter, but please actually start working on your browser, Mozilla. Ungoogled Chromium is eating your lunch.
In a salaried position your offer letter (that you sign) specifies you won’t do other renumeratwd work without the permission of your employer. Technically that’s not violating the law but it’s a violation of contract.

It’s funny though!
Revenue.

They sell your data from their tracking for profit.

If you turn off the tracking -- they have reduced profits.

Therefore they punish you for turning it off by not giving you the service you requested.
FWIW, news companies have already had very questionable relationships with these same tech companies. Not only is their ad revenue already coming through Facebook and Google, but they're already massively incentivized to give tech companies positive press.

Sundar Pichai only does exclusive interviews with blogs which positively cover Google, for instance, and an exclusive interview with Pichai is worth millions in ad revenue.

Apple is notorious for straight up cutting out journalists which produce critical coverage from their events.

People like Steven Levy get whole book deals based on exclusive access and interviews with tech company executives and employees. Unsurprisingly, his articles are always glowing coverage.
Unique Id is hardly anonymous.

Anonymous tracking is already part of the URL. The ?utm_source=unfck part of the URL helps Mozilla know how many people installed Firefox from that link.
They could continue to operate but with less drivers, fewer hours worked, and fewer total dollars being paid out to their employees. Thus hurting the employees, anyone who relies on ubers, and the companies while benefiting a subset of drivers who will make more money per hour.
What Type of Software Engineer Gets Paid the Most?
I would really appreciate a good and current summary of C++ best practice, including the most-favoured idioms for memory management, concurrency, structured design, and all the usual basics.

This is from 2014 so although it's useful it doesn't quite qualify. The other sources I can find are either even older, or they're tutorials about very specific features with a very narrow scope.

Nobody's "trapped" on a plane. They're there voluntarily.
No it isn't. The encoding is conditional on all previously generated characters in the context window.
Nintendo’s Switch plug happens to physically and electrically seem to accept USB-C charger connectors, but it’s not a USB-C plug, and the Switch should not be considered compatible just because it uses a similar plug.

Nintendo should have taken more steps with their charger to restrict the Switch to authorized chargers only, rather than permitting unsupported chargers (such as standard USB-C ones) from being able to power it. Or even just outright used a proprietary connector!

None of this is any fault of the chargers. They’re the ones adhering to the standards correctly. The Switch is at fault.
Wonderful. I will check it out for sure.
We need more of this. A criminal record in the US is a curse for life, leaving former criminals with little chance at success and little to live for. People without much to live for are dangerous. We should help our former criminals rather than condemn them for life--it benefits us all.

Next.js development with instant dev-database provisioning
Is your modified version public?
I terminus font but somehow it seems very thin and hard to read at slightly larger sizes..
Good catch, yeah I think you're right about how it's currently implemented with GH actions.

Which makes things even more confusing overall since ! is a thing in YAML when it's not wrapped in quotes.

Suddenly you have all of these tools implementing their idea of custom behavior in different ways.
Did you click on the play store link?

It is not linked directly to the play store. it is run through a tracking company first, which then assigns a unique ID to your installation for knowing what caused users to install firefox. The ID is present in the URL.

Click the link once more to get another ID assigned to you.

Then when you open the app, The ID is sent back to the company along with a list of specific apps installed on your Android.
Additional side note: non-Apple chargers are often scary inside. They rarely contain the safeties of Apple chargers. That is outside this whole hackers setting chargers on fire issue.

I am not a big fan of Mozilla (though I still use it because it is the least bad browser for me) but you can already set:

privacy.resistFingerprinting to 'true' in about:config

It is not perfect, of course, but helps a lot. Expect some sites to break.
I suspect many others here are. And I very clearly was. Exactly because the US is the most notorious country not providing these kind of things, despite being one of the richest countries in the world: that's a cultural issue.

Meanwhile, many countries much poorer than the US do a lot more. Maybe not quite as much as Scandinavian countries, but they do something.
Look, let me just put it this way. Have you ever paid more than $1000 for a single domestic airline ticket for leisure travel?

Because as a former IBM SE, I've done it HUNDREDS of times for business travel. Literally hundreds of times. Last second tickets, fully refundable tickets, you name it.

The ticket pricing market is designed to extract maximum revenue from business travelers (convenience) and keep them coming back (loyalty programs).

Don't be obtuse and argumentative. This is the way it is and it is a fact. Stop trying to find answers that don't exist.

You're right, "breach" just has a second meaning when it comes to IT and data [1] that describes a more passive role (somebody breached their security and copied data) while they've been caught in a very active role: intentionally breaking the law.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_breach
Because Mozilla doesn't care about the privacy of their users. If they did, Pocket would be easily disabled, and they would have zero telemetry (like Ungoogled Chromium).
* will match {cipherkey} so I do not want it.
Similarly, if I go to some new place with a friend or a group where I'm not the one leading, I would never remember the road. Even after multiple trips.

If I go by myself even once, I will always remember how to get there.

This phenomen is quite common and pretty straightforward if you think about it.
Stop bitching, every device comes with a cable and charger, or at least it should, so use that until we reach utopia with just 1 standard, all pens will be blue, all people white, blond with blue eyes.
I do this (edit: build furniture) for a living. I have a roof rack on my Civic for getting lumber, and I occasionally rent a cargo van for deliveries.

Be aware that nominal lengths are usually approximate. I busted a windshield in the Civic because I knew I could fit a ten footer. Turns out my ten foot board was 10' 2" and when I was wiggling it to get the back end in the trunk, I wiggled it into the windshield wrong :-(
Yes. The things that companies and other organisations do have large impacts on society and individuals. This is particularly the case for organisation like Mozilla which are explicitly about promoting these concepts through technology.
Here in Czechia power of established religions went away (~ less than 1/3 population is religious). They were partially replaced with folk esoterism (astrology and so), which is much better alternative, as folk esoterism does not have concentrated power of e.g. Catholic Church.
Probably, people aren't going to have a 3.4kW computer running in their home. That's 2-3 beefy space heaters running.
It makes me sad to see people targeting Mozilla for everything.

Like yeah its default browser is Google because that's the way they can pay developers to work on it. For now they are only viable alternative in browser space.

Yeah it collects data(only after asking for appropriate permission) which too is anonymous(i might be wrong here). But they are not collecting it to make profit out of it like google. Its only to make firefox better.

And people suggesting to use forks of firefox keep in mind if there is no firefox there are no forks. I am not qualified to comment on Mozilla's way of handling their funds. But it is what it is for now.

But atleast if you use firefox daily show some love!
Oh sorry, I misread your original comment. Now I understand what's happening. Thanks for elaborating :)
Ha - that looks great. Thank you
The article says a lot of the profitability comes from credit cards that give you frequent flyer miles.

Customers are being convinced to get a frequent-flyer-miles card rather than, say, a cash-back card.
SevenFifty | Technical Lead (Rails/React) | Remote USA | Full-time

SevenFifty is an end-to-end supply chain and communications platform (B2B SaaS) connecting U.S. alcohol retailers, wholesalers, and producers/importers.

We're looking for an experienced full-stack developer to join our 15-person engineering team and lead development for a small squad. The squad you’ll be joining is currently two other engineers and a project manager working with stakeholders across the business, and a cross-team designer as needed. They work in two related Rails apps, with a combination of classic server-rendered Rails functionality, and React components on top of Rails. We use Solr for search, Postgres on Amazon RDS for data, and run our web apps on Heroku.

This role entails a mix of hands-on development and technical leadership. You'll be the technical representative for your squad of engineers, taking the lead on architectural decisions and quality development practices across the team. We expect you to be team-oriented and be comfortable mentoring, but we do not expect you to directly manage other engineers.

I'm pretty sure one my first programs did exactly this. Enter a password. Boom! I'm the master of the computer.

This is what really launched me into coding, though:
https://archive.org/details/Gortek_and_the_Microchips_1984_C...

The feeling of being able to make the computer do my bidding was amazing.
Yea I agree. I'm super negative and I don't think I've ever liked any other USB before, but this standard is great. I only wish some of my older hardware had it, won't buy a new tablet without USB-C.
It’s been years since I’ve used ProctorU. Is it automated now? When I used it someone watched me via webcam for the entire duration of the exam.
Clearly a controversial point, but I actually sort of agree. I hate technical challenge interviews because I think they measure the wrong thing, but then we have a problem of only wanting to hire senior people with big portfolios, because someone else has essentially done the vetting - this makes it harder and harder for those without experience, for whatever reason, to get a job.

Clearly we need some way to evaluate entry level employees who wouldn't have had time to build a portfolio, it just remains an open question as to what an effective method would be.

I have a friend who always relies on not just phone maps, but also phone directions (turn left now), and gets helplessly lost downtown where GPS is unreliable. It's less binary than your breakdown.
There is an extra element here... All of what you said is true, but the actual issue is not with the video decoding, but with the thread that feeds data from the network to the video decoder. That thread has some long running stuff running on it, which causes the task to enquire data to the video decode hardware to be delayed.

It used to work years ago, but as more and more software bloat has been added to run in this thread, the delays have increased to the point of stutteryness.

Some videos are jumpy because they have fewer seconds buffered in the hardware decoder.
I have actually tried Integromat and have found it interesting, though I haven’t taken a deep enough dive to decide if it’s for me. (It’s cheaper than Zapier, which is a big plus.)

I honestly find the pipes-based interface kind of a turnoff, admittedly, but functionally it’s not bad.
It is but it still could benefit from some unfckng of lately fckng introduced.

privacy.resistfingerprinting is strictly for advanced users. Always attach a huge warning when asking people to enable it.

Examples of breakage - while enabling 2FA on any site, or using sites that offer the ability to edit photos, canvas picker, etc.
Back then sockets were known to be dumb connectors and hardware wasn’t designed to be compatible with one another (in fact it was often designed specifically to be incompatible). However these days there is an expectation, particularly with USB, that anything which looks like a USB port is in fact a USB port. They’re sold as smart ports for that reason. And the fact that the Switch does work with some USB-C chargers is evidence that it is at its heart a USB port. So it’s not unreasonable for people to expect these sockets that look like universal smart ports to behave like a universal smart port.
Indeed, the apparent simplicity on the physical layer has moved the complexity onto the logical layer. I love the article, and it made me aware of a lot of things I didn't know.

However, my experience with USB-C is way better. I use the same charger for my laptop, pad and phone. I even use the same screen (with integrated docking station) for both my laptop and my phone (yay Samsung DeX), both at work and at home. This would have been impossible / unimaginable half-a-decade ago. (Anyone remember the "Lenovo-type" docking station vs. the "Dell-type" docking station?)

I agree that USB-C still has challenges to overcome, but I find the direction so-far to be the right one.

I would rather like it if USB standards had better names and a definition of a "safety score" then device manufacturers have to advertise a minimum supported score (for devices) and a minimum guaranteed score (for chargers).
Exactly!

If you have your own local songs, you can easily load playlists/albums/etc onto an Apple Watch just like you could with an iPod. I've found it's really useful for listening to music while focusing on a task.
When my phone screens calls, it does exactly that.
