Of all of the parts of your laptop to break and leave you without the availability of a replacement, your RAM is the least of your worries. Damage prone parts that are replaceable are already hard enough to find replacements for. And of all the parts on your mainboard to break, your i/o is going to be the likely culprit. And few laptops modularize those.

Might it be that Firefox checks if there are updates for it and hangs if it can’t connect to the server?

Money is always a hygiene factor, not a motivating factor. Classic Herzberg.

Money just needs to be enough. After that you have enrich the job sufficient to hook people in.

Perhaps the first thing a business needs to do before it starts hiring is learn how to hire.
Even that didn't help -and I only have three extentions. What finally helped was setting network.http.http3.enabled false in about config.

I was in startup land over in SF, so my salary topped out lower at 160k USD but with ~2% equity.

I was in a partnership in a small plane, and one of the guys was "in his 20's making $500k+" at google as an L6 plus retention bonus. Several engineers in my circle (early 30's) are on $500k+.

Currently I'm living in Europe but leaving back to SF. I tell people all the time about salaries in the US and point them to levels.fyi, but these salaries are so detached from their realities that they seem simply unable to believe them. Go look at levels.fyi, it matches very well with what I've heard on the ground.
Argh, every day I consider going back to my iPhone 8 Plus purely because FaceID is so terrible. The point about switching cards easily is also absolutely right, plenty of places don’t accept American Express which is my default card.
At least the fix for Fx was wrapped up quickly.
Exactly what I was thinking. I hope they thought about this case and made the updater use a different stack...

Same here, actually reinstalled Firefox Developer Edition on Win 10.

Edit: the issue came back after reinstall! I had to disable http3 in about:config to resolve this issue.
I have an indie project called Fugu (https://fugu.lol). Fugu is an open-source (https://github.com/shafy/fugu) and privacy-friendly product analytics. If you're looking strictly for web analytics, it might not be a good fit.

It's still an early version, but basic things like tracking events with properties, and analzying those, work very well. I'm currently working on adding conversion funnels. It's free to self-host, and I provide a managed version for $9/month flat.

I've started Fugu because I wanted a product analytics software that is privacy-first (e.g., no possibility of tracking unique users), open-source and simple. I liked using PostHog but it got too fancy, complex and convoluted for my taste - a common theme among analytics software in my experience.

If you're looking for a pure web analytics solution, I can absolutely recommend Plausible (https://plausible.io). I also use it for my static page at Fugu.

Edit: Added GitHub repo link.

It's worse than you think. The study was to _improve_ the scheduling in the stores in the study so that workers got a whole two weeks notice of their shifts. They merely left things as they were in the control stores.
Why are you commenting here if you don't know who Zooko is? That's like commenting on US history without knowing that the US is a country. How could your opinion possibly add anything of value?
When you add covid, climate, the antiwork movement, lack of social progress, political drama, something has to break.

There is high resentment towards capitalism and how it is being managed, and I'm not really surprised people are quitting like this, I don't even understand how can normal people hold all those jobs and deal with the stress etc.

Personally I think advocating for a general strike would help "shuffle the cards" again.

I really feel like 2008 "postponed" a political adjustment that should have happened but did not.

It's really weird to be chronically unemployed and watch this "great resignation" phenomenon.
The whole "Quittening" is a little US-centric. The short answer is: "Too many jobs, too few qualified people"

We're struggling to hire senior talent, well, senior, entry level, anything but apprentice. The thing is: So is everyone else. There are statistic on these things, there aren't anyone to hire, you have to get people to leave other jobs, but then those companies are just shorthanded and you solved nothing.

So we hire as many apprentices as we're able to handle and legally have. When their training is done, 4 years from now, the majority of them will receive a job offer. So far we hired all but one of our former apprentices.

Engineering isn't the only line of work with this issue. My wife business is in the same situation. Unemployment rate is at 0,7%. The people not employed are all in that situation due to personality issues. The only available people they can hire are those toxic enough that most would prefer not to hire them if ANY other option is available. Other than that, take in as many apprentices as they can handle and ofter them a job in 3,5 years time.

This is debated in Denmark ever year, in July, when schools announce who got in to which universities, colleges and so on. Every year: We're missing nurses, engineers, STEM, all the usual. Not once have I hear anyone mention which subjects people need to stop applying for. My personal favorite subject that can be cancelled: SoMe marketing manager. The amount of people applying to those educations are insane and they can't even market themselfs well enough to get a job.
We are talking about 50-60k before taxes here though (e.g. healthcare isn't included yet) - there really is not that much left in the end, especially compared to the US where quite some companies will match our European amenities (talking about software engineering jobs).

Also all inclusive contracts are quite common or some legal workarounds with payed overtime after x amount of hours (where x amount would be working 2 times as much per week), never heard of unions for this sector in DACH either.

Frankly getting a 10k salary bump in Europe is still pretty solid - for 20k I would bet most engineers around here would make a switch. (note that you tax down ~50% above the 60k you earn from now on).

> Ah, and in some countries having too many companies on the CV isn't well seen, it appears the candidate isn't able to fit-in anywhere.

True, but if someone switched jobs every year it feels like a red flag to me anywhere where the cost of hiring actually matters I would say.
Finding a job that’s fun and fulling and finding one that is very well paid doesn’t have to be a contradiction.

But there are multiple reasons why money is a bigger focus:

- less long term job security. And that lower paid fulfilling job might very well be less secure too. I want to secure my financials as quickly as possible.

- insane cost of housing. A family sized 1800 sqft house with a garden now routinely sells for $3M in my neighborhood. You’re looking at $120k per year in mortgage payments and another $40k in property taxes. That’s after a $750k downpayment.

- the cost of higher education for kids.

- the general cost of living.

We could all move to the French Riviera, I guess, or vote for a better system that isn’t a hellscape for a significant segment of the population, but for an individual who’s forced to live in the current reality, money is a short term fix.
It reminds me of the Flappy Bird guy who was making $50K a day or whatever. Its ridiculously privileged and only someone who's already well off would do something like that.

I mean, maybe they'd have a leg to stand on if it was like that guy who didn't patent that vaccine in order to make it more publicly available, but these are games.
So what's strange here is that these hangs are weeks after Firefox 95.0.2 was released. That points to either DoH provider or some HTTP 3 server triggering the buggy behavior at scale. Either is fairly scary.
If there is to be a hot surface it's better that it's the far side of a panel a few metres above ground than the asphalt beneath your feet.
Okay sure, but it’s hardly the case one can just join a FAANG company at a senior level to earn $500k easily as OP suggests.

Want to retire early? Easy! Just become a managing partner at JP Morgan in your late 20s and you’ll be rich enough by 30.
So are you saying that their profit is high or that the cost for running such saas is high?
I think the 'Great Resignation' is fake news.

When COVID hit people felt insecure so they stayed on jobs they would have otherwise quit. Look at any graph of resignations or quits, they dipped. We are seeing the pent up desire to quit hit the market.

However, pent up desire to quit doesn't make as interesting a story. Writers and researchers can use the 'Great Resignation' narrative promote any agenda or attack any workplace philosophy they want. Then readers can argue about it endlessly. The fact that it's divorced from reality means the debate can't be resolved because the premise is flawed. Media companies and sites get an endless stream of engaging but useless content.
I feel a symptom I've been having for a couple of days could be related, but I can't be sure: There's a site I can only access via a personal VPN connection. If I try to access it while on the VPN, it works immediately. If I try to access it off the VPN, realise it's not accessible because I'm not on the VPN, connect to the VPN and try again, it takes a good 30s to a minute to get to.

Feels like Firefox waits some amount of time before making fresh attempts to a previously failed site, possibly due to some caching.

Isn’t the experiment to make a big corp not fuck with employees as opposed to their usual practices?
I am with you on this one! I really don’t get it… I love in France (French riviera) and my salary despite being very good for the region is very far from the hundreds of thousands of FAANG companies in the US… and yet I more than once turned down offers from FAANGs because no amount of money can bet all the other benefits I get… 35h work week (no extra Hours), very relaxed corporate environment, 35 days of vacation a year (and you are forced to take them all), basically unlimited sick leaves, telework 4 days a week (and living 10 minutes from the office), living in a nice home next to the sea! No amount of money can compensate for the possibility to have plenty of time for yourself and your family!
Both useful, yes. But consider this:

my_instance = SomeClass(args)

my_instance.method()

vs

my_dict = some_mod.thing_new(args)

some_mod.function(my_dict, args)

These are semantically the same things. If you don't believe me, consider this is the same as above class example:

SomeClass.method(my_instance)

As for the inheritance, you could theoretically insert the "parent" dictionary inside the "child" dictionary and just create a new module for child "methods". But that would be too convoluted and surely unpythonic.

My argument goes against OOP, so I would just ignore inheritance.
Don’t join an early stage startup, found one. The equity you get granted is never worth it, and the success of an exit goes to the founders (in terms of career opportunities afterwards). Trust me on this. Only exception would be if the founder is basically a household name
"a bit more expensive to build" is an understatement.
Arm Architectures in the Public Cloud
Thanks a lot! Do we need to enable this again later when they fixed it?
I did this, posted my earlier comment, then re-enabled that to see if I would be able to load pages or not and I was.

The other thing I noticed was that previously when I looked in taskmgr (windows 10) there were 4 or 5 firefox processes going on -but when I went to close firefox after setting that to false there were not.

I'll close and check again but I'm wondering if simply setting it to false once doesn't allow it to perform some update or something that lets it get back to behaving normally? Like unsticking a log jam?

[edit]Forget I said anything. When I restarted and tried to reload HN it hung again. I had to disable network.http.http3.enabled in order come back and edit this comment.

> How do we know the current authority is legitimate/illegitimate?

That is a very good question and I do not have a good answer. Maybe subjectively... that legitimate power is perceived as justified. I grew up in a communist regime and had the opportunity to experience the difference between obeying rules because you are afraid not to vs obeying rules because they are at least somewhat correlated to what the majority considers to be good. Sure, even in democracy you obey some rules just because you are afraid not to, but you also understand that you live in an imperfect world that is not centered around you and you can accept some level of power you don't perceive as justified as long as it is about something like zoning rules and not your fundamental freedoms.

But it seems highly subjective... maybe if I grew up in ancient Egypt I would believe that the pharaoh has the right do whatever he pleases and who am I to judge whether it is evil or not.
Disabling DoH and properly closing Firefox most certainly works (for me). However, if you had enabled DoH then you probably do not want to turn it off, in which case disabling HTTP/3 as mentioned is the only proper solution.
How are they intentionally fucking with their employees? The control was the status quo and the test was something they expected to be an improvement.

They could also just... keep the status quo. Would that be more moral in your eyes?
You'll be working with other people who jumped over some arbitrary hurdle.

What kind of team is that? Are you going to be surrounded by mentors? Free of bozos? In a world of competent executioners?

Unlikely. Look at how terrible a lot of the products are that these companies make.

They're fundamentally selecting for the wrong set of attributes. Look at the turnover rate - how many projects go nowhere and collapse, the quality of the output. Nobody ever leaves a job, they leave a team. The evidence is all around us that this process produces total shit results but it's become too much of a cult to change it.

Whenever I'm looking around for potentially better work and I see companies doing that, I don't even bother. It doesn't lead to better teams, more competent execution or better products.

Why on earth would I squander my time with some random ship of people who know how to do a sliding window? I'm sure they're all friendly, but we're doing hard things here and need the right mix.

I mean what on earth, fix the fucking process and maybe they'll stop incinerating dumptrucks of money on badly executed technology
The unstated assumption is that there exists some form of networking hardware that can be used. With no wifi or ethernet, all those machines are stand alone boxes.

Assuming some form of networking, I'd get DHCP configured, and make sure they could all ping one of the machines chosen as a server.

Why bother with Ubuntu, they're already working with Windows, and thus no driver issues to work out, etc.

I'd then write a server and clients in Lazarus, skipping the whole web thing completely.

Yes, I could do it in a python CGI, but why?

And here I go explaining my friends and family I helped switch to Firefox that the browser I've installed on their computers got broken at the beginning of a new day while Edge and Chrome work fine... personally, I know very well bugs happen and I'm not mad, but this certainly hurts the confidence in it for the non-tech people.
"nosql" tends to mean more than simply not SQL. Often not any sort of relational structure and related querying methods, for instance, so "not nosql" is not the same set of things as "SQL".
Depending on your down payment. Some FAANGers just drop 4 mil on a couple of houses and rent one out. And 1.8M is an easy starter even this month.
MOND theories seem by far most popular on Internet forums nowadays! There are just so many "But what if they are wrong and dark matter doesn't even exist, if they can't explain it..." that it's quite overwhelming! It is not as simple as this. In fact, modifying gravity to fit the set of observations here is so hard that most scientists have just given up on it by now. I mean, it looks like dark matter comes and goes, clumps together...

But I think this is ultimately a good thing. I'm pretty sure we're on the right path here with several decent explanations to dark matter, like sterile neutrinos or axions. Some candidates are testable today and bright people are working on it right now.

Dark matter feels like one of those things that may suddenly see a path towards being solved within years, but that it might also take much longer time.
Definitely. My last job prospect would have required me to lock myself in the room for a weekend or more doing a chain of low dopamine tasks.

I have done take home projects before, which often resulted in low ball offers. At most it made me angry for the time wasted, but now having children I just don't even bother anymore.
Wow thank you! I was bangning my head against the wall, restarting my computer, disabling extensions, etc. This worked like a charm :)
Oh man. I had a coworker once who would frequently commit with a single word commit "fixup" - often as you'd expect at the end of a PR but never squashed or put anymore detail into what they actually did, often much more than simple whitespace or linting changes you'd expect from the message, so you had to be really careful to check. If you then searched the commit history for "fixup" 100s of commits would show up. The person in question had so many other issues working in this team that this particular one was never brought up but it drove me mad.
This worked for me too. However, I re-enabled them after and everything was good again.
Just want to say thank you for posting this, because I've been trying to work it out for the last half hour.
Heh, right now i use WireGuard for exposing some of my homelab servers to the internet and to work around my ISPs NAT setup, WireGuard is really pleasant to use and simple to set up!

I recall using OpenVPN a few years ago for a similar use case in my university dorm, it was comparatively way worse - the configuration parameters were unclear, some of the documentation was out of date and even when using the faster (but less secure) methods of encryption, i found myself having a VPS that was overwhelmed and had almost 100% CPU usage (on its single core, since VPSes are generally expensive) whereas the client couldn't get much past 10 - 20 Mbps when the connection speed itself was closer to 100 Mbps.

Nowadays, for a VPN, i just use Time4VPS https://www.time4vps.com/virtual-private-network/?affid=5294 (affiliate link so i get discounts for signups, i also use them for most of my VPS hosting) because they're affordable and have more locations than i can get VPSes in those locations for comparable amounts of money. It seems like their offering is OpenVPN based which is surprising, since it works pretty well - makes me think that either i royally screwed up my own config back in the day (though default config should never hit 100% CPU usage like that, which happened to me), something was wrong with the system packages, or they just have beefier servers behind it, despite many users.
I was talking about Go.

You do it the same way it works in most of these politically-motivated-censorship countries: the sneakernet. Black market smugglers smuggle along USB sticks or preloaded laptops. But, yes, with a motivated despotic government aimed against a single individual, it's going to be mostly impossible.
