I think knowing what to ask and where to look represents mastery of CSS.

Understanding the approximate power of things like flexbox and having some aesthetic taste is much of the battle. You have to be willing to get your hands dirty. CSS is almost entirely about art. Figure out which paint brushes and techniques work best for you. There are a lot of viable paths.

** To clarify - looking for any Firefox alternative, not restricted to the Gecko engine

Is Brave at all a viable alternative? Or do their own ads and all the crypto-shmypto make the switch moot?

Tangentially - has anyone tried building Firefox from the source? [1] I wonder how feasible this would be as an alternative if coupled with disabling all unwanted parts of the browser.

IMO we don’t need to attribute malice to it, which will drag everyone into a debate about what’s going on inside the clearly broken minds of a few rich men.

The sheer incompetence of it all is disqualifying by itself.

In my experiences arguing with MAGA, the incompetence argument lands a lot more convincingly than the evil argument.
Completely unrelated, but I recently switched to using nix with home manager and nix-darwin to handle my entire dev setup and dotfiles.

I'm pretty sure no NATO countries actually consider the US a dependable ally at the moment. So US spending is kind of irrelevant really. And if the US were to actively work against its NATO allies (seems pretty likely at this point), US NATO spending would be considered more of a negative rather than a positive.
Pubmed is essentially Google for scientists. Anytime you search for scientific publications you usually use Pubmed. Of course there are alternatives, but until now you didn't really have to know about those. Everyone just used Pubmed, I'd bet that even most European scientists didn't know the local alternatives until now.

And there's a lot more functionality made available to scientists by the NIH.

technically incorrect which is presumably the best kind of incorrect?

Certificate logging is not mandatory, none of the Root Programmes (agreements with typically browser vendors to recognise your CA roots) require logging. Now, in practice the browsers may reject certificates if they aren't presented a logging proof (in the certificate or stapled to it by the protocol, or some other means) but that's not a violation of your agreement with the vendor.

Most CAs (obviously including ISRG / Let's Encrypt) always log every certificate, but some either have programmes where you can pick or legacy systems which just don't do this. You can log such a certificate yourself, if you want, and then staple the receipts to your connection setup - but most people don't know how and don't want to learn.

Did not get the chance to try much at! We just observed that clocks could be synchronized, but the next time we checked they would no longer be. I agree that this is definitely something that could also be interesting to look into in the future.
As someone in Europe, I'm honestly starting to wonder if the companies whose tech I oversee aren't better off eliminating reliance on US tech companies. Hard to tell what they'll do, being strong armed by Musk and Trump, or even just trying to win their favour.

With server hardware, I can't think of real alternatives, at least x86. But then again, I guess they'll just continue to work once bought :P

Cloud hosting and PaaS: We have some major, reliable hosters (Hetzner, OVH etc), but it's a bit lower level than AWS or Heroku. This part I'm pondering the most, since I mostly want to use stuff you can easily find freelancers to work on. With anything closer to self hosting, that's a bit tricky.

Stuff like Google Workspace, Notion etc is non-trivial but possible to replace with stuff like Fastmail and the Atlassian suite. Not an "as good" replacement, but a workable one.

I still feel a bit paranoid even thinking about this, and I'll ponder it some more before I act. But I can't help but wonder how many European CTOs are in the same boat after the oval office meeting with Zelenski. Kinda brought it home to me that the US is a very different country now, and using anything made there is no longer the no brainer it used to be. If the actual government can't resist their commands, private companies most definitely can't. And with a trade war looming, it'd be easy to just take competitors that rely on AWS et al off the market quickly, spy on competitors in Google Workplace, and stuff like that.

OpenSSL's problems were caused mostly by their codebase being awful.

What I'm astounded by is how Musk/DOGE haven't been stopped, sued or even arrested. Isn't this interfering with the proper functioning of government, or vandalism, or gross negligence, some other illegal act?

Building a movie library with 1 to 4 movies a month you actually want to watch on Apple TV seems to be the better mid-term investment if you want to stay digital for the same price of an UHD enabled Netflix subscription.

I own a bunch of UHD-Blurays, but the friction to get up from the couch there is also quite large and you can't just decide to watch them on vacation.

Also Netflix bitrate for UHD is abysimal and rarely has any third party stuff.

Amazon bitrates are also good, but I lost a lot of trust in their mid/long term commitment to user needs.

There's a proven track record with the Republican plan and USPS that they like to sabotage the agency and then point to the dysfunction they created as a reason to get rid of it. I fully suspect that we're going to hear that several agencies have been non-productive since January 20th and should thus be cut... Despite the fact that they BLINDLYfired not only the new employees, but all the employees that have had promotions over the last year as well (And were probationary in their new role).

It just sounds like you need to spend more time solving problems with CSS. "Knowing" CSS means being able to style most things without needing to check any resources or otherwise look for help.

Occasionally there might be a particular issue that requires contemplation or reading the manual, but that is true of any sufficiently complex design system, especially a living specification such as CSS.

I recommend familiarizing yourself with new features as they are adopted. For example, front end devs are going to need to learn Houdini.
> Most nomads are going to be getting private health insurance

Those private health insurances are subsidized by the public healthcare because they piggyback off of the public healthcare system. That's why they are affordable, unlike the US. And as a result, those nomads end up congestion the public healthcare system because the private health insurers also send their own patients to public hospitals for anything serious. Im telling this from a place that is experiencing precisely this.

> It's true that a lot of them are not paying their taxes, but if you're talking about Latin America that's true for a large portion of the domestic population as well

The amount of taxes avoided by the poor majority in such countries don't compare to the taxes avoided by the rich white collars. Nomads earn 2 to 5 times more than the local white collars as well. Even in some European countries.

> The key here is that even if they aren't paying taxes, they are bringing money into the economy

They don't. People think that but neither tourists nor nomads nor short term-renters (whatever the kind) bring money into the economy:

The nomad doesn't buy 10 shoes every month, 2 cars every year, eat out 20 times every day or buy 50 loaves of bread every day. He consumes just like any other human being (obviously), and his consumption does not move the needle of the local economy much.

What nomad's consumption boosts is a few local/luxury shops that cater to the rich or nomads, and maybe one or two local shops or services that they also use. Those few businesses make bank even as other businesses in the same neighborhood rot. And those few businesses that benefit don't buy dozens of employees to make up for the added workload - they hire one or two and everyone works harder and that's it. So what nomads end up doing is enriching a few local, already-well-to-do shop and business owners. On the other side, they cause a 20 to 30% increase in rents (even in Europe), housing prices and significant increases in CoL.

> This attitude has started to shift in places like Mexico City because a lot of the expats are not digital nomads but instead run-of-the-mill immigrants competing with the working population for jobs.

It started changing in Europe too. In places like Barcelona, Madrid, Southern Spain, Portugal, some central European 'bohemian' destinations etc. Mostly because of the sharp gentrification the nomads are causing even for the white collars. But especially the English-speaking foreigner population concentration in some places became way too visible and they started outnumbering the locals. In Barcelona there seems to be a lot of cafes in the city center where the waiters don't know Spanish or Catalan, people having difficulty hearing either language being spoken in the city center etc.

In any case a strong reaction came to being against nomadism and its not looking good.
Not in the city center. And of course, not compared to Manhattan etc.
Are you using windows? I feel like dotfiles are much more common on unix-like systems. For me I've got dotfiles for zhs, ssh, git, two for my window manager, vim, and much more.

There is Waterfox that syncs with the Firefox bookmark service. Testing it out for the last day, also looking for an option on iOS otherwise will stick with Firefox.
Asking o3-mini:

1. Complexity of Geopolitical Conflicts
Human Decision-Making: The Ukraine-Russia conflict involves deeply entrenched political, historical, and cultural factors, as well as decisions made by leaders based on emotions, personal motives, and political calculations. AI cannot predict or fully understand these human factors12.

Evolving Dynamics: The situation is highly dynamic, with shifting alliances, battlefield conditions, and political pressures. AI models struggle to adapt to such rapid changes without constant updates and human oversight25.

2. Limitations of AI Technology
Data Scarcity and Bias: AI relies on historical data to make predictions or recommendations. However, conflicts like the Ukraine-Russia war are unique events with limited comparable historical data, making it difficult for AI to generate accurate insights13.

Lack of Strategic Judgment: While AI can analyze large datasets and identify patterns, it lacks the ability to make strategic trade-offs or account for ethical considerations, which are central to peace negotiations26.

Implementation Challenges: AI-generated solutions often require precise execution plans (e.g., demilitarized zones or security guarantees), which depend on human negotiation and enforcement. AI cannot ensure compliance or manage post-conflict complexities23.

3. Role of Trust and Diplomacy
Trust Deficit: In diplomacy, trust between parties is crucial. AI systems cannot build trust or address concerns about fairness and accountability in negotiations36.

Ethical Concerns: The use of AI in diplomacy raises questions about transparency, bias, and accountability. Missteps in deploying AI could worsen tensions rather than resolve them36.

4. Political and Military Realities
Military Nature of the Conflict: The Ukraine-Russia war is fought on the ground with conventional military tactics reminiscent of earlier wars. While AI aids in intelligence and logistics (e.g., geospatial analysis), it cannot directly influence battlefield outcomes or compel parties to negotiate57.

Global Governance Gaps: The absence of international frameworks governing the use of military AI complicates its role in conflict resolution. This regulatory void limits its potential as a tool for peacebuilding4.

5. Supporting Role of AI
Despite these limitations, AI plays an important supporting role:

Data Analysis: It helps analyze vast amounts of data from satellite imagery, social media, and other sources to provide actionable intelligence57.

Scenario Planning: AI can simulate potential peace agreements and test negotiation strategies to assist policymakers in exploring options2.

Information Summarization: By distilling complex documents and historical agreements, AI aids diplomats and analysts in understanding key issues quickly26.

Conclusion
AI is a valuable tool for enhancing human decision-making but is not a substitute for diplomacy, strategy, or leadership. Resolving the Ukraine-Russia conflict requires political will, trust-building, and human negotiation—elements that lie beyond the capabilities of current AI systems.
The above person was comparing it to friends and random online comments, though. I wouldn't be surprised if AI is far more reliable than those.

Around that same era Windows wasn’t exactly problem free with device drivers either. A fresh install on random hardware would often require hunting down Windows drivers online. Though of course those drivers did always existed because of Windows’ market share.

It seems as if "the veil has been lifted," and we suddenly "see the connections." Our mind seems sharper, more analytical, etc. Quite compelling.
