The only way for Firefox to survive and have a slight chance of beating Chrome is finishing[1] conversion to Rust[2] - it will allow to spend less time chasing memory bugs and focus on what matters. Also to reuse some of the already-written crates as building blocks.

Minimum charge speed on my EV is 8A on 120V. And, I'm frequently using it on 120V, because my wife is normally hogging the 240V charger.
Oh memories, Windows 98 Lite. Removed IE and replaced explorer.exe with the binary that was shipped with Windows 95.
There's your problem. There is no such thing as rational lockdown policy for an airborne virus.

Pray tell: where exactly did lockdowns work? Surely not in East Asia where multiple countries are experiencing exponential growth in covid cases right now due to seasonality. Despite widespread adoption of masking, contact tracing, etc.

Certainly not in Sweden, where they never implemented them, yet they continue to have either middling or above average results in terms of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.

Also: no one ever expected the pandemic to be over in two weeks. We did expect our public health officials to stick to the second part, "to slow the spread". Clearly, that was a line to manipulate the public, as things quickly shifted to "until we have a vaccine". People on my side of this issue will never forget or forgive the bait and switch.
Landscaping Ideas that are too easy to follow
Every expert landscaping contractor in Kitchener believes that multiple ideas should be pondered before implementing the landscaping techniques. Well, here, the easiest ideas have been revealed for the ones who want a luxuriously landscaped lawn.
The searchbar looks odd now. Something weird going on with the font rendering as well (on Linux) ... ugh.

So, in order to use GraphQL effectively, you have to learn GraphQL deeply. Got it.
I think that's your vision of marketing. Marketing by word of mouth because you really like a product is still marketing, and the Rust community is really good at that.

The Rust community realized early that if they wanted to succeed, they had to talk about Rust a lot, show good examples, be beginner friendly to avoid people picking it up and dropping it quikly. But that "marketing" is also things like a really good package manager, really good compiler errors, a really good VSCode extensions. Many communities don't have this (especially the new ones) and this makes developing in Rust more of a joy than in let's say OCaml or even JS.
Rocket Special Forces. Might as well slap an Amazing Stories cover image on the report.
Yeah, if it's weight-limited, then it's probably more efficient to bring firepower instead of armor, for example, a dozen attack helicopters with crew would fit in the 100t quota.
> Summer loves and friendships were meant to end with a sobbing farewell at the end of August, not with a unfollow and block in November.

This is such a good thought. I think it applies to other areas of human relationships as well. Breaking up, for example. It was easier to have healthy boundaries after breaking up... before social media made it so easy to stalk or just be constantly reminded of your past relationship.
Just digging through the HTML and jS source, it appears to be fairly standard HTML with some ReactJS+Firebase on the frontend. It's communicating via Socket.io which implies the backend is running the reference nodejs server:

I think the author is trying to say that interviews are testing for the wrong thing (ability to solve tricky problems quickly, on the fly, and with no help, which is unrealistic in the workplace) when what they should be testing for is good analytical and research skills, with the assistance of the internet available, just like in real life.
The danger is not the pass itself. It's that you'd be prompted to display it systematically for any and all activities.
Its a direct response to "Graphql isn't that complex, not more complex than the widely accepted SQL schema + query."
What a fantastic article.

To me, the point of the article was that the influencers are just a symptom of a deeper malaise stemming from social media of raising everyone's expectations of themselves, the increased isolation as people spend more time online and have less real friends, and the (flawed) assumption that the average person is a good judge of quality.

All the comments just talking about influencers are missing the point.
Looks like they made it harder to find the option to customize the toolbar.

Right click on toolbar, select 'Customize Toolbar', click 'Density' option at the bottom (I'm macos).
> now they ask for a credit card number or an identity card to prove it

I got the same thing and it left a bad taste in my mouth -- it felt to me that it was just Google's excuse to hoover up more information about me.

No, Google, I am not going to give you my credit card of government issued ID.
The Great Wings Rush
If it was codified in 2010, was is it only going into affect now 10 years later? I'm not an expert in browsing EU law, but I do see a "revision" of AVMSD [0] that passed in 2018 and started going into effect around 2021 in various countries [1]. The two links you posted very clearly say "archived on 2012" so they are not the new version.

Simple thing: phones are getting larger, but people remain the same size.

Some phones come with a "single handed mode" where the entire contents of the screen shrink to a window in the corner. So they are recognizing that large screens are a problem. That's great. Now I wish I could take a saw to this thing and get rid of the dead space around that window.
That's not true. They were charging $1/user/year (possibly only on Android and in some countries) before their acquisition. And their costs were low. I'm pretty sure they were profitable.
Doesn't seem to work on the video mentioned in the github link.
Just ask them to articulate technical concepts, so you can know whether they are full of sh*r not.

People who can hold targeted low-level technical conversations are generally well equipped to do the work you are expecting him/her to do.

What's wrong with this approach?
It's true, but this concern is losing relevance as hypersonic missiles that can carry a nuclear payload come online. You could also argue that stealth bombers like the B-2 and nuclear submarines obsoleted MAD a long time ago.

The backups are an interesting thing that you bring up. The cynic in me cant help thinking that even as companies posture about being pro privacy, they do design features in a way where they can subvert privacy with plausible deniability.

For instance the move away from screen passwords to biometric things like fingerprints had me thinking about the fact that from a police pov - if they have a suspect in custody, forcing the suspect to put their thumb on the phone is probably a lot easier than getting them to reveal their password.

Phrased another way, I find it hard to imagine that big companies are able to tell the state to take a hike and get away with it.
Social skills are not equally easy for everyone.

> makes me think he’s simply not a good friend and deserves to be rejected.

You sound like maybe a bit more rejection would have been good for your sense of empathy.
But Go came and succeeded. Would you attritube this to Google's marketing, products like Docker/Kubernetes, or the simplicity of the language? Maybe something else?
- Amazon Prime 2-Day Shipping delivered in 2-days almost 100% of the time from 2009-2019. My address didn't change in 2019, nothing, but the service got way way worse. I am simply asking for the delivery times to go back to what they were.

- Customer Service refunded 25% of my subscription one time, and then about a week later a sympathetic supervisor/manager reviewed my delivery history and agreed it was sub-par and gave me a 100% refund. I was very honest with him that I had already received 25%, he didn't care. This has been the only person at Amazon who has understood my issue, but he was powerless to fix it.

- The higher-ups did not try to address my issue. They tried to gaslight me into believing that I didn't have a problem. They kept going back to the "orders take time to process before shipment", which I had explained over and over again that was not my issue. Once my item ships, it takes easily twice as long as it used to arrive.

Lastly, they tried to blame the carrier (usually UPS). Which is also BS, I am able to purchase shoes from Zappos (an Amazon company, BTW), and they arrive THE NEXT DAY. When I pointed that out to them, that is when they told me they would no longer be responding to my emails. I completely understand it is more expensive to ship packages to rural America, but I'm not the one advertising "Prime 2-Day Shipping" to anywhere in the lower 48 states. I just want them to be honest with me and tell me straight-up that I'm not worth a Prime membership anymore.

Great, they can turn it into a $1B per flight reusable rocket.

Seriously, though, Musk should tell them they can have Starship in any configuration as long as it's Starship.
A test fixes the behavior. When later the need to change the code arises, you have a meaningful way of comparing results.

Any test is better than none, I’m my opinion.
Smoking weed and having a conversation while being a billionaire is "erratic and outlandish" why?
Realism is criminally underrated in interviewing.
People have a fixed address but can't register it. This is especially common with the sort of accommodation people get when they move to Germany.

It also affects Germans, but to a lesser extent since they register at their parents' house.
When you say "get the checks" do you mean YouTube is asking for a copy of your ID or that it's giving you the regular age gate check?
Anything on an iphone is Apple. They dictate content, UI design, architecture and moderation policy for all the apps on the device.

> no Edge installed by default

Are you sure this is a good thing? As much as I don't like Edge, aren't the alternatives either IE or no browser? It's not like they'll ship Firefox preinstalled instead.

> Work becomes a series of tasks I need to achieve throughout the day, like all the other tasks like laundry and doctors appointments.

I don't know about you but I'm not smart enough to feel that my job is as easy as doing laundry or going to the doctor. I'd rather finish all my work in one focused block of time and not think about it the rest of the day. Due to the pandemic destroying most childcare options, this is an unattainable dream for many.
Not always true, it can backfire hard. I know zero 30 year olds wearing abercrombie, hollister, or american eagle today, although that was literally the only acceptable brands for them 15 years ago. Abercrombie still sprays that cologne in their stores, reminds you of stepping back into highschool or middleschool.

We don't know the full story behind that tweet. Inverting a binary tree is not exactly a difficult problem. They could have even spoon fed the author with "Ok, here's the code to traverse a binary tree. This is what it means to invert a subtree. How would you invert the rest of the tree?"
When I visited Quebec I was actually surprised by how common it was for the government to use cryptographic signatures. For example the wingdings hieroglyphics that get printed on every receipt (I guess to prevent tax evasion?).

I think you're conflating two different sets of responsibilities - those of the person who is struggling, and those of the people around them. Everyone agrees it's more virtuous to be resilient and mindful than to complain all the time. Thing is, it's also more virtuous to empathize with people than to tell them to get over themselves.
This is a brief summary of an incredible field of research - systems theory and operations research. If you are interested, there are some really good authors to read — Peter Senge, Peter Checkland, and Stafford Beer (inventor of viable systems model).
I’ve seen that talk too, and it struck me as a bad example. Photoshop is not primarily a tool for viewing images, but for editing them. It would be great if it could get me there faster, but as a comparison I just tried timing how long it takes to launch The Witness, and ended up with something like 13 seconds.
Have you considered that the brazen nature of you tribalism, combined with your inability to see good in others (notice how you immediately took the worst possible interpretation to the point where I'd argue you must have invented facts) is what is leading to your feelings of social censure?
Well, sort of... but mostly it's not 'setting up from scratch' and instead is a handful of generic configurations for Nginx, etc.

How about repeatability? What happens when you need to set up a fresh dev environment again? Do you do all of this by hand again vs. using Docker or similar tools to build repeatable infrastructure?
Salted Chocolonely is so good.
DRW Trading Group | Software Engineer | London, Chicago, Singapore, New York, Amsterdam | ONSITE (post covid)

We have a number of software engineering roles at DRW Trading Group. Trading is a very interesting industry and being a software engineer at a trading firm is really fulfilling because we're solving interesting problems and building things we want for ourselves and our colleagues. There's a really tight feedback loop and you'll be working with people who directly have a vested interest in making you successful and building great things to help the firm succeed.

Here is an example posting for a Java developer (touch of Rust and Javascript) for a team I am personally working on setting up: https://drw.com/careers/job/1362330

Standard blurb: DRW is a technology-driven, diversified principal trading firm. We trade our own capital at our own risk, across a broad range of asset classes, instruments and strategies, in financial markets around the world

You can email me, my handle is ndunn at [company name].com
I can't confirm without knowing what country you live in. I understand essentially the whole EU requires this, and the US is one example where the checks aren't required.
JavaScript Notes and Reference
The legal basis is probably this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_contract

But then this is premised on the fact that the legal system is capitalistic (laissez-faire economics and free-market libertarianism, etc etc).
It's literally discussed and linked at the top of this thread.
I spent three years working from home in the pre-pandemic era, at GitHub - the king of remote culture at the time - and I was desperate to have an office again.

I can code fine at home (better, actually, with more privacy to focus), but I can’t do the meta-stuff nearly as well. It’s the soft-skills that suffer.

I think my pandemic-era company failed (we got acquired but, it was a failing-up situation) because we lost the ability to have course-correcting conversations outside of formal meetings. Which is to say: we just weren’t as smart, as a group. We should have done a daring pivot, but there was no way to discuss it (zoom+figma “brainstorming” sessions were completely useless)

I think my ideal would be to have somewhere that we met in person semi-regularly, maybe optionally, like a study hall environment, where we could pair or whiteboard or just chat.

I don’t want to go back to being crammed into an open-office with too many people, that is just awful for coding. and Slack is like being in an open-office 24 hours a day; I hope my next gig doesn’t use it.
Well I went full mental and simply bruteforced it [1]. I'm doing it for page content as well with userstyle.

Considering how complex the web is, and how technologically complicated a browser needs to be regardless of UX, a car analogy is perhaps more appropriate; and you do have '21 models of cars.
