So lose the redundant asterisks. They serve no purpose. They make the comment both harder to read and harder to write.
It seems there is a lot of talk about how bad JWTs are, with the kind of repetitive structure that makes me think some vendor is spamming blog articles about it just like TripleByte used to spam articles about how "Hiring is Broken".
With the exception of either investing time into targeted request black-holing or disallowing apps from contacting the outside world entirely (which would produce a pretty crappy AirBnB experience) I don't think this is really reasonable. Most useful apps have some legitimate reasons to talk to servers so blocking access before the app can get it (similar to how browsers block access before the site can get it) seems like the most reasonable approach. And websites don't need to inherently communicate with a remote server - there are a bunch of web tools out there that download a bunch of JS and then essentially run in local mode without ever sending that data home... yes the original stuff is coming from a foreign source but that's the same as Apps - the acquisition method is just different (and a lot more prone to abuse I'll grant you).

However, pretty much every useful app you're using is calling home for some moderately legitimate reason - so I don't think it's helpful to differentiate the two classes of executables based on remote asset usage.
"Maybe they were assholes, but I don't give a shit how nice the developers who made my web browser are."

There coworkers do though, assholes have a right to exist and others have a right to not want to work with them.
Just interpreting what the OP said and not really sure where I stand on the topic, but I think he means that "social justice" controversies have purged asshole devs that were competent developers producing good features and that firefox as a product is not as good due to that. Taking senior engineers off the roster will usually impact the product whether or not they were assholes.
Break the law, get caught, call your buddies at the Commission and have them draft a new law that retroactively saves your ass. Must be nice.

This completely invalidates any future marketing speak around privacy that these crooks excel in. I hope the EU cheerleaders are paying attention.
> It's not a pop culture term at all.

Wrong.

> It's a precisely defined technical term in GR.

Sure. But it is also a pop culture term, with a slightly different meaning.
I love writing software that directly solves business challenges and can be tied back to real dollars.

I love approaching software development from the perspective of an artist.

I love the feeling of gaining expertise and how that translates to me being able to handle just about any type of software project.

I love directly profiting from my projects.

I am absolutely ashamed of what my Government is doing right now. Our PM was singing a different tune when the farmers in my home country were protesting in India. Or the Hong Kong protests. Or the pipeline protests in Canada.
I agree that it is your prerogative as a consumer to decide how much you care about the integrity of the companies who make the products you use. Maybe it's just my inner Hank Hill talking, but I don't think a responsible consumer would ever say, "I don't give a shit how nice the developers who made my web browser are." The way I see it, if you're willing to be an asshole for profit to someone else, then you're willing to be an asshole for profit to me too. So I appreciate and support companies who make deliberate choices to treat humans better, especially ones made at the cost of profits.

> "even assholes have a basic right to exist"

The problem is when some assholes are actively engaged in denying basic rights from others. If you say "well those assholes have a right to exist", you're effectively saying "the assholes have more of a right to exist than the people they're trying to erase."
Feels wrong. True randomness should violate causality ;-)
IBM is more than two orders of magnitude bigger than Mozilla in terms of both spending and headcount. On a log scale, Mozilla's scale is about halfway between IBM and your local McDonald's franchise.

CEOs of smaller companies typically don't command that level of compensation, and when they do, it's generally because the company performed well and their pay was heavily perforamnce-based.
If I was going to pay for it, I wish they'd offer nerdfont patched versions of their font (see https://www.nerdfonts.com/).
Side topic, I would love to see it become easier in general for applications to be developed on mobile platforms.

I am not a big fan of Kotlin but I'd love to be able to write a mobile application that uses native window library in Rust or C++.

Same goes for Apple.

But their platforms are so locked down that no matter what language you pick, you always end up having to write _some_ Kotlin/Swift to connect it to the native UI elements or register background services or whatever.

I don't know if it would have been the case, but I wonder if the Windows phone would have been more open to different development sources than Android or iOS. Linux powered devices are cool but sadly they don't have the years of polish and apps required to make them practical daily drivers.
Strangest to me there is actually the realisation that 'loo' being a mainly British word (I knew that), over there they're not called 'portaloos'. ('Porta-potties'!)

(Further, both trademarks. Or at least were.)
So, i can only give the view from the matrix.org server, but right now there are 248244 rooms with more than 2 users in them on matrix.org.

Of those, 124680 include users not on matrix.org. In other words, 50.2% of 2+ people rooms which exist on matrix.org are replicated and decentralised across other servers. Conversely, I'd expect there are tonnes of other rooms on other servers which aren't visible on matrix.org at all.

It'd be even more revealing to weight the stats by room size, as the bigger the room, the more likely it is that it'll be replicated elsewhere.
This particular charge is to try to maintain the illusion that you are directly transacting with the driver personally, and separately are paying the app for connecting the two of you.

That way of looking at it weighs in on the way taxation is done and contractor/employee considerations...
I usually only tell people my working hours so they know not to contact me outside them.

True, you'd be in for some more clicks. I'd still prefer to take that risk, as it is way more work to find out cancellation procedures for the ever-growing list of paid/subscription services, employing more and more dark patterns to extract "value" out of you.
Commercial space flight leads to innovations and economies of scale that radically reduce the cost of accessing space, which means we can do a lot more space science for less money. Reusable rockets alone are incredible in this regard, and if Starship really flies then we will be able to put up space telescopes much larger than Hubble and JWST at significantly less cost.

Air travel was only for the rich and governments at first too, but if they hadn't funded it it would never have become cheaper.

I don't accept the "we have too many problems on Earth" argument about space, though I do understand where people are coming from. I think if we wait for major problems to be solved here, we'll never go. There will always be huge problems. That's life.

That and space is far less than 1% of global GDP. If we were spending loads of money on space people might have a point, but we spend more on porn than NASA. (Not really exaggerating... look it up...)

As for Elon being an "intolerable tech bro," I don't care. He's human. Lots of amazingly productive or innovative people also have huge personal flaws. Look at some of our favorite musicians.
I'll bite: what do you like about the OS? Looks interesting.
Firefox is inferior still.

It has problems with memory, performance, rendering and battery drainage.

Every year I switch to Firefox and use it as a main browser. It usually goes for a month and then I need to switch again because Firefox has too many glitches.

Firefox has had a bad policy of not fixing the basics first before new features.

I do use Firefox as my main development browser still but that is because I’m more used to the developer tools than the alternatives.
I would have zero problems with her salary if firefox wasn't a sinking ship and was actually increasing market share (or at least holding on to it). I continue to use it, as it's a great product, but I wonder how long before google cuts off the spigot of money.

Is sharing audio output even supported by Meet?

By the way, I'm on linux. Searching "firefox google meet linux site:reddit.com" suggests it wasn't just me.
Do you need $500m/year to maintain a web browser? Cut all the dead weight, rebuild trust, and you could probably do just as well on donations. For one, I'd be donating to Firefox every month, if there were such a fund ringfenced only for Firefox development.
Honestly, I just found it hopeful that the megadroughts of the past in this study weren't 100 year events, but more on the order of 25ish years.

I mean... The existence of ligatures is almost by definition strictly aesthetic. And on that measure, it either brings you a smile to notice that f and i, for example, are joined; or you didn't even notice it.

That is, I won't claim they help readability. But they do make me smile, and don't seem to hurt. (I'm assuming they disappear on copy operations. Mac OS' habit of replacing -- with a longer dash is painful when sending cli arguments.)
I really don't like it, but thanks for sharing it anyway (and creating it in the first place I guess).
Thank you for the detailed answer. I guess I'll update my own heuristic, so that in future I'll add extra context to submission titles when linking to pages like Wikipedia articles which don't generally include enough context in their default titles.
Cascadia Code (free, from Microsoft) is surprisingly good. There is a clone of it on NerdFonts that adds more ligatures if that’s your jam.
I'm glad this exists (although it appears there are extensions in other browsers that do the same thing) but I never have more than 10 tabs open, so it's not something that would make me switch.
Yea, not having to work with assholes is pretty great. Maybe there is some tradeoff to be made and a balance where keeping a productive asshole around could be better for the product than purging said assholes, but I think a team with that toxicity can't be sustainable in the long run unless its a team full of assholes that are content.
I came to say something similar. I'm a diehard Firefox user, and can articulate all sorts of things about it I love, but mobile has been hugely disappointing. I still use it but there's a massive discrepancy between Firefox mobile and desktop.

Desktop is great; not that there's nothing that could be improved, but I love it and do not want to switch for any reason.

Mobile has weird lags and hangs that I don't understand, and has this weird crippled extension system. Going into Nightly and adding some of them helps a little but not really. Its UI has been strange at times, and these little changes keep cropping up that I don't quite understand.

I still use it but I have thought about moving to something else, and the main reason I don't is because it's so convenient to sync between devices.

There was a big part of me that was suspicious that when mobile started becoming dominant, someone in Mozilla made a decision to migrate the mobile browser to something more advertiser-friendly to recoup funding, with the idea that the desktop would be the libre target and the mobile version would be the moneymaker. It just all feels so inward-focused and not user-focused, with crippled extensions and weird UI tweaks all the time.
In the same way how Texas is a victim of USA "regime". Ukraine's claim to be victim of USSR is just a modern myth their nationalists trying to force last ten years. But it's even not widely supported there, many Ukraine people connect themselves with Russia rather than with Europe, USA or whatever. Many people there prefer speak russian despite the government trying to forbid it. This is how they lost Crimea without a fight, it just has gone and doesn't want to return back. Ever saw crimean people to protest? The same way other territories may go away to Russia.
I think it is worth it to separate money from State. Now we just need the militaries to cut their defense-of-fiat-money forces in half.
Well they did say they were watching videos of it and it seemed peaceful. Basically that the videos they are seeing don't support the message they are hearing. I would be interest to see evidence either way.
> That managers conflate the team's wins with their own 'succeeding'?

Is that actually conflated? I manage a few reports and try to succeed by setting them up to succeed but every management position I’ve had, I have had explicit OKRs/goals/metrics/etc stating that the success of the team as it’s own entity was something I was rated on.

If my team managed to succeed without me putting in any effort that was actually ideal as I got a free goal hit.
Nah counterinsurgency is very hard to win actually. See Afghanistan.

Regardless this is why citizens need modern military equipment.
That has definitely not been my experience.

I've seen it once where the person was an extreme, boundary pushing pest to the point where it was an open secret when joining the org that you had to learn how to structure your work there so as to minimize interactions with them. But they had name recognition outside the org and were careful not to push the wrong people too far so it was always one of those "no idea what mr mouse's problem is, mr owl has never done a thing to me" situations with leadership. Eventually they were pushed out, officially for a CoC violation that dozens of other people had done, but everyone knew that it was because he fucking sucked.

Another time I thought some sketchy CoC-as-excuse stuff was going down and while I didn't know the details, I thought I understood the dynamics at play, and defended the accused, because I knew him, and he had always been consistent and honest in our work together. Over the next months and years I pieced it together and the real reason he was leaving was heinous and the real reason it was covered up were PR and funding related. Decisions made by people higher up for their own reasons. I was kinda right about the coverup so but wrong about why. Supporting him through that because I assumed the CoC enforcement was unjust remains my greatest professional regret.

So I don't know, I'm sure you have reasons for using the heuristic you do, too. And there's definitely room to disagree about whether CoC action is the correct enforcement mechanism for these things or whatever. But while I don't find "where there's smoke there's fire" to be a very useful rule in general, it has seemed pretty consistent here.

Atleast 200% of that payrise makes sense due to inflation. Value of the dollar halved during the past ~10 years.
Fuzzballs were first proposed as a consequence of superstring theory in 2002, so it would be quite a feat for a scifi author to have come up with them in 1977.
Depends on which field of engineering you are in, but going more towards R&D usually involves less hand work and more brain work. Same for technical consulting.
Under the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act. Which specific regulatory laws would you expect them to be handled under?
Your take was wrong. The move to rust was great and used to improve security and maintainability of the browser. They cut the wrong people. What they should have done was whack everything other than firefox and coders contributing to that code base and employees supporting that effort directly. They have awful leadership currently that are just milking their exec offices for the cash.
Why do we round corners?
What makes you think Brendan Eich would have been a good CEO? He was CTO of Mozilla during the period that Chrome was eating Firefox's lunch. He was probably more responsible for Firefox product decisions at that time than CEO Mitchell Baker.
Came here to make this comment. Glad to see it is at the top. Moz://a has lost all trust. Yay for atlas engineering! :)
The people who thinks this will degenerate to violence will be disappointed. The truckers are normal people with mouths to feed and a retirement plan to save, not a militia made of radicals, as we saw at the bridge.

What will happen however is that the problem just going to be moved elsewhere. Trucks might begin to slow down, citizens might continue to assemble, in Ottawa or elsewhere. How protesters are going to find other ways to protest will be very interesting to watch and how the government will respond will be terrifying.
There's a point beyond which you're just beating a dead horse and turning it into a pulp. Firefox isn't dead yet, but... yet is the keyword.

Given that successful coaches are regularly fired for being garbage human beings (including Bobby Knight more than once!) I'm going to disagree that the "most important metric" is championships.

This is exactly the response I was hoping/dreading to get, as it illustrates my point so perfectly. Bobby Knight absolutely believed that he was above his players, and repeatedly physically abused them for perceived disrespect. He was a terrible person at Indiana and at Texas Tech, and no amount of winning answers that.

People glorify managers/coaches who succeed at the organizations goals, be they profits or rings, at the expense of the humans that report to them. These people are terrible managers and should be immortalized as shining examples of what not to do.
Microsoft’s ‘Principled Approach to App Stores’ That Doesn’t Apply to Xbox
100% agreed, I would too.
Easier said than done, especially after the age of 30. Have lost touch with most friends from college as people invariably pair up and move off to different parts of the country, start families, get busier at work, etc. Making new friends and nurturing those relationships takes a considerable time and energy investment (which I do believe is worth it, but doesn't make it any easier).
When doing this, homeowners invariable seem to "reinvent" suicide cords, a short cord with two male ends. DO NOT DO THIS. No matter how sure you are that you're too smart to mess up. Or too calm. Or whatever. Pay the money, use a transfer switch. Or interlock kit. But preferably a transfer switch. They are pretty idiot proof.
Where would we go though? It's bordering on Chromium-derivative or bust at this point.

Not a good look for Trudeau. This definitely looks like an authoritarian response to a loss of mandate. The protestors will dig in more, the response will become harsher, and the government will be in deeper trouble.
Are you talking about the minimum pensions only?

In France, the average pension is 1393€ (~ $1574) [1]

Also the retirees purchasing power is higher than the working population [2]

Don't get me wrong, there are still too many retirees with too little money in France.
But on average, the retirees are doing OK compared to the rest of the population.

Its likely that both OS's allow you to do it, because it is part of their testability APIs. I have used an app on Google to fake my location because a restaurant that is hard to schedule (90+mins waiting) requires you to be within 1 mile of it before getting on their waitlist.
Middle Eastern folks also are classified as “white” so it’s a comparatively small population of Jewish folks who are potentially misclassified.
