Reboot the project again, like in 2001.

Nobody wanted to use the original open source Mozilla browser because it was a weird groupware suite monstrosity derived from Netscape's code. A few clever people created a standalone browser using the Mozilla engine and called it Phoenix. It was eventually renamed Firefox in 2004.

Start another Phoenix that focuses on being a better, slimmer, faster browser than the Chromium ones, just like the original was a better, slimmer, faster browser than the Internet Explorer monoculture.
I have the same experience in reverse with chrome. I've been using FF for a few years now with no issues.

The cost charged wasn't for the technology.

Taxis and cabs are regulated with fixed time/mileage rates. Uber isn't. It can charged dynamic pricing. The work around for Taxi apps is to shift this dynamic price into the "technology fee", as a workaround.

The user isn't paying $15 for algorithm. It's paying $15 because the ride was ordered during a high-demand time, and the app is hiding that as a dynamically priced "technology fee" to workaround regulations of fixed time/mileage rates.
Protesting is only a crime in authoritarian states. Canadians have the right to assembly and expression explicitly stated in the charter of rights.
It’s not like he can move someplace else. Also, he’s criticized the Russian government many times before.
Shameful that a peaceful protest is met with this response. How can a person protest meaningfully if any peaceful protest can be called illegal?

I do understand that the truckers were disturbing the peace of ordinary people - I think this should be discouraged. However there must be a way to peacefully assemble without the government's approval.

I don't see how we can have meaningful civil discourse if you need permission to protest at all.

I agree - Firefox today is super solid. It blows away Chrome in terms of memory management and I have less compatibility issues with it than any other browser.

I agree with you on marketing and mobile - if the defaults are good enough on mobile then people are going to mostly use that. And while Firefox used to be hugely popular Chrome has really taken over its market share. Butnow Chrome has gone from a lean and simple browser to a bloated mess that chokes when you have too many tabs and starts using gigabytes of ram.
"What would you do if you were the head of Mozilla" sure reads a lot like "what do I want Firefox to do".

Firefox lost the battle for average users against Chrome. But it's always been a favourite of power users for a reason. It's time to listen to power users again, or be extinguished (incidentally, that's the third stage of EEE).

Those things don't matter. Just by existing Safari is making sure web developers can't solely focus on Chromium. If we disregard mobile, Safari still has more marketshare on desktop than Firefox.

> Apple's offering, Safari, currently holds 18.34% of the internet browser market, with an
estimated 844 million people using it in 2021. Safari also makes up 23.78% of all
mobile device browsers worldwide, which is high considering Apple holds 26.35% of the
mobile vendor market. https://backlinko.com/browser-market-share

Those numbers seem relevant to me.

There seems to be a trend in our newly tyrannical governments of using war and terrorism acts on their own citizens.

> Physics is full of concepts that are counterintuitive. Inertia is an early example of one such concept.

Huh?!? Try to start a car by pushing it -- or stopping it, even on flat ground, after it's gathered momentum rolling down some slope -- a few times, and inertia becomes utterly intuitive. I'd imagine that worked for medieval oxcarts, too. Or for moving blocks of stone for the pyramids, or Stonehenge.
Not really that fallacy - no claim was made that it wasn't a problem. If anything, it's a musing on how media bias may affect how things are portrayed. Specifically with calling something violent. If violence is the adjective we are examining, the loss (or delay) of revenue from the protest would not fit in this model.

I am curious though, are goods not being rerouted?
It's unlikely that every single borrower would default just like it's unlikely every stock in an index fund would go to zero. I wouldn't really compare it to options trading, junk bonds are a much better comparison. Lower potential return but also much less likely you would lose money than with options.

Obviously the devil is in the details, it's not clear if/how these loans are secured.

"Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said politicians should not be telling the police how to deal with protesters and that resolution should come through dialogue"

Millions of dollars in damage by these protestors (railway above). Protests for me, but not for thee.

Vaguely remember stuff like:

"Your right to freedom of speech stops where it harms others" (hate speech)

"Your right to bodily autonomy stops where you can harm others" (vax mandates)

"Your right to protest stops where ... ?"

These are all nuanced, sadly the Canadian government can override its Bill of Rights whenever they please under temporary 3 year Emergency Measures.
Could you give examples of using GAN in prod? Recently there was a discussion on Twitter about the reduced number of GAN papers in the last few years, and some people mentioned that they did not find adoption in industry.
Before the pandemic I was in talks with a company and I requested three days of remote work per week. They wouldn't budge from their 0 remote work policy. Pandemic hits. Boom, posters all over LinkedIN with their remote friendly culture, their generous $200 grant to cover for home-office equipment.
I bet any mid level tech manager from a large company (who loves open source) would do a much better job and work for 1/4 her salary until he proved he was worth her old salary and raised the tides of success for the company.

I’m happy to pay for quality, or use open source work if I find a good set, but currently I don’t know where to start
It seems like (maybe it's a polarization thing) its becoming more common for all sides to want to go straight to the (thankfully only metaphorical) nuclear option to try and end situations. Everything is framed as an emergency or a human right or some other category that means its supposed to be dealt with in the harshest possible terms and admit no discussion. I don't just mean by government or a particular side, it's the kind of rhetoric used in every argument now.
Firefox supports bookmark keywords too, though the UI isn't optimised for that. Vivaldi is the next in line for me if Firefox stays on course.

By protesting only against things that Trudeau himself supports protests against, obviously /s.

Unfortunately, it is only a halfway sarcasm, because it legitimately sounds like this is how it might go down.
Yeah, not a good look. He should have cleared this economic terrorism sooner.

Because no one cares anymore about browser diversity now that the main browser is open source, runs on every platform and complies mostly with browser standards. Not to say it isn't important. But it was way worse when IE was creating a dependency on IE and Windows due to poor standards.
The XPosed framework for Android let's you do exactly that (requires rooting though).

> I'd rather have 1080p 144hz than 4k 60hz

If you do gaming all day, then yeah, sure, go for a million Hz. I work with text on my terminal all day and fonts on a 24 inch 1080p screen look like crap compared to 27 inch 4K.

Besides, I was calling out displays with 240Hz or 300Hz+ which seem stupid but I guess if people will buy it thinking that they'll be able to make more kills in CSGO, monitor OEMs will make them.
They still want to bracket my days with 10:30 standups and 2:30 catchup meetings that just fuck the whole day up and don't allow you any of the flexibility or focus that working from home ought to support.
Apple literally doesn't allow different browsers on iOS. You can only put a new UI skin over webkit.

Protesters are still allowed to protest peacefully, they just aren't allowed to occupy the area around parliament and shut down border crossings for weeks, and intimidate and enact violence against the citizens of Ottawa. Nobody is stopping anyone from peacefully protesting in Canada, give your head a shake.
I thought Firefox was making a come back but maybe I was wrong - personally I started using it again everywhere maybe a year ago. And of course I was all about Firefox way back in the day. Chrome going to shit led me straight back and it has been super solid with a decent array of extensions and themes and whatnot.
I bought an Edgerouter 4 last year so they’re selling something to somebody…
There is something elegant about having all functions at the top level (or module) scope, `foo(x, y, z)`, but I there is also something really nice about function names scoped to the thing/noun/subject: `x.foo(a, b)`. As far as I know Julia only does the former. Sometimes the latter seems a lot easier to deal with.
For most people, "racism" and "racial discrimination" are the same thing.
In my experience Firefox has become a much better browser in the last 18 months, so if there was an asshole purge then maybe that helped?

If Firefox is missing specific capabilities that make it noncompetitive, and those deficits are traced to the asshole purge, then @rpnx might strengthen their argument by citing those examples.
Yes, it will show that you can’t really lead your people in this way. They are the people who run the society, and the government depends on the people, not the other way around.

> MonoLisa uses open forms and terminals (starting and ending points) that are pointing towards the neighboring letters to let the eye follow the line of text fluently.

Does the lowercase g follow that convention? It seems to make me almost stumble while reading and do a double take on what the letter is. But maybe it's just because I'm new to the font.
Then someone at Redhat was probably bribed by some Googler, cause it only happens with Firefox updates /s

Joke aside, Firefox is aware that it's been updated and the new tab states that I have to restart my browser. I'm not familiar with the inner workings of Firefox, I just expect it to have everything it needs to function, in working memory. I've been using Fedora for close to 14 years now, Firefox always installed from system packages, and the updates always replaced the existing files on disk without it affecting my application experience. No other desktop app I use has this behavior after updates while they where running.

A big fuss? No, got used to it already. But I still consider it a soft crash state that I encounter with Firefox.

Happiness is a Journey; the hidden life of an American warehouse worker
I live in Ottawa and I assure you that this protest is not peaceful. I've had friends physically assaulted, spit on, and yelled at just for wearing a mask into a business. Not to mention the constant honking that was reaching levels above 100db inside people's homes.

Homeless shelters were raided by protestors, businesses have been forced to close due to threats, and people are afraid to leave their homes.
It was all foretold by the transformers franchise, the decepticons fighting the truckers and sports cars.
What's the channel you use to get the message across I wonder? Email? LinkedIn?
>I'll have to start to adapt to another browser now. I'll give Vivaldi a try.

Seems silly, I see no valid reason to switch browsers. What technical or functional limitations are you running into that didnt exist earlier?
So, instead of stopping and blockading, people just start driving the minimum legal speed everywhere. Totally legal, but would totally get the point across. And you don't need a truck.
I along with my friends (who are vaxxed but only did so because their work coerced them) have been at the protest in Ottawa for 3 weekends. It's always been peaceful, friendly and almost like Canada day celebrations.

It was loud the first week due to honking but even that's stopped. And even if there were honking, that's not violence.

I am brown and my buddy is black and neither of us met with anything other than friendly hugs and fist bumps. Then we get home and see an entirely different reporting on media and by government.

Here's an article written by a government employee who lives right above the protests:

https://maybury.ca/the-reformed-physicist/2022/02/03/a-night...

EDIT: Reply to comment below, I was personally there because of the air-travel mandate by the Feds and restaurant/gym mandates by my province. Triple vaxxed Trudeau can fly even while he caught COVID. Triple vaxxed Mayor Jim Watson can go to restaurants and gyms despite being COVID+. But I am not allowed to fly or go to restaurants and gyms even if I can show a negative COVID test.

I also talked to nurses there who worked for 2 years taking care of COVID patients, caught COVID along with their entire family, got natural immunity which is superior, and then got fired for not taking the shots. Yet Ontario and Quebec is letting COVID+ nurses to work if they are vaxxed.

Also women are a lot more against the mandates than men based on my impression which seems to match the surveys.
The fact that this isn't already the case is concerning.
Pierre Trudeau did far worse with the War Measures Act, which gave the government sweeping powers of arrest and detention without trial. Whether this will be a bad look on the government's part (from the public's perspective) depends on whether they can resolve this without incident. Unclear if the protestors will be able to dig in further if they're arrested for the various city laws they've broken.

I suspect that if Trudeau enforces Ottawa laws (which the police haven't), then stands down, this won't hurt public perception.
Extra virgin olive oil: why it’s healthier than other cooking oils
This is definately going to back fire on him and his administration. There weren't any major incidence of violence or rioting. They got the bridge cleared. He should've left it at that and let it fizzle out.
That's a "DocBlock", in this case for PHP, although it comes from JavaDoc and I suspect there are some other languages using the same format. It's a standard convention that API documentation can be automatically generated from, and in many editors the comment block itself can be at least partially automatically generated. (e.g., in Visual Code, if I just type "/*" on a line before a function header and hit TAB, the editor's going to fill in a lot of those details.)

At any rate, while you might be technically correct, in practice, "PHP and Java coders should abandon this long-held convention used by hundreds of thousands of programmers and decades' worth of tooling in order to avoid unsightly alignment issues when using proportional fonts in editors" may be a hard sell. :)
Is it because of the $ cost of shutting the border down?

(I am not even thinking of whether it's justified, good or bad, just reasoning about motivations)

The truckers assert their livelihoods are already heavily impacted. This crowd appears to be much larger than simply anti-vaxxers.
I’m not in Ottowa and I feel like I’m not sure what to believe here.

On one hand, if the protests really were peaceful, I do not believe the government should shut them down.

On the other hand, I’ve heard the protests have caused millions in trade to be shut down which I would not consider a peaceful act. If some non-citizen entity shut down millions in trade, I don’t think it would be viewed as peaceful.

Should the right to peaceful protest include the right to halt trade at this scale? Are the reports of halted trade overblown?
There's no such thing as a "right" to use trucks to set up an illegal blockade. The trucker convoys are not protesting to fairly and legitimately raise awareness about their grievances; they're trying to get the upper hand by illegal means because much of public opinion clearly opposes their stance already. It's a simple matter, really. A response is quite appropriate.
