As a moderately technical user, I’ve run Arch VMs for school work for the past 3 years, but when it came time for me to dual boot my laptop, I really didn’t want to have to be as hands-on involved with a device I actually use frequently. I picked Manjaro instead so I can still enjoy the rolling release cycle but with an already working system out of the box.

Certainly! I wanted to hear some viewpoints about full vanilla vs framework-based development, and your view of grokking the tools and implementing what it doesn’t cover is a great one to consider.

Thanks, I’m actually going into the semiconductor industry :D

I figured that it would depend quite a bit about the timeframe and scale of the project you’re working on, which is why I was curious for some wider experiences and opinions

Hi, undergrad here. That is to say, I’m not anything close to an expert in web design, but just in the course of making a simple static website to show recruiters I realized a lot of lessons like these about how modern HTML/CSS/JS can really handle anything you throw at it without having to worry about frameworks or precompilers. Sure, Bootstrap and SASS helped get a prototype up fast, but I feel like that gain in productivity was wasted once I had to fight the framework for the fine details, and just writing what I wanted in vanilla-land ended up writing out the frameworks as a byproduct.

Is this a common pattern in industry as well?

Like an FPAA?

At least for the declarations at the beginning of the block, that allows for very simple compiler design as it is very easy to split the code and data sections. Start off allocating space for all the variables it sees, and then when it reaches something not a declaration or definition, start emitting assembly.

Yes, acme mail relies on the message body being formatted to (correctly) be less than 76 or so characters per line. Its line wrapping is crude as well

I see—The standard allows most characters we normally use to surround URIs. It sure does look like a difficult problem then, and one that a regexp can't solve.

Perhaps I’m missing the question, but there is a regular expression for matching a URI. Remove the leading carat and it can match anywhere in a text.

Edit: I see it's not quite that simple. However, I still think that with some stricter matching requirements this could work.

I don’t get the downright hatred that some have for DST. If we were perpetually on winter time, then at my latitude during the summer the sun would rise at 5 in the morning which is too early for many people. If we were to be perpetually on summer time, then in winter the sun will not rise until after 8, with people starting to work before the sun came up.

Is there something wrong with wanting the sun to come up at a semi-standard time of 6–7? Is it just the system we have in place?

I switched a few weeks ago, and this week I've switched to Nightly. I haven't used FF in around 5 years, and it's much, much nicer now. Containers are great, the customizability is awesome too: I wanted the bookmarks toolbar to only show up on the new tab page, and it took a single CSS rule to make that happen. Not to mention I feel it's more privacy-friendly.

So Mozilla backed out of their 5-year contract with Yahoo then [1]. Do they have a new agreement with Google that I'm not seeing anywhere?
