So do I, but I am here with you on hacker news and this site is not a representative sample at all.

I have never had mobile FF crash on me, largely been a good experience.

I await the usual complaints about Mozilla's side projects as well as the dependence on the search box money from Google.

Firefox is never going to be a thing as long as humanity moves from desktops to mobiles where changing the built in browser is very uncommon.

if your app is just a dollar or two like most are a couple grand to pump the reviews seems like a no brainier

About 5 years ago the lab in Toronto had free coffee but the other offices did not.

Right, they indexed this FAST

What is the use case for a browser based OLAP database ?

I am actively trying to remove apache from a large chunk of projects mainly because at this point it is being used as a poor reverse proxy and not a web server which is its core competency.

Lol just saw the creator I assume.

It is now but the first iphone only had a 2MP camera and did not even have 3g.

Personally I think Swype and they keyboards like it is what did it in. The people here think they could type fast with a blackberry/ physical keyboard but I bet if they went back they would find the couldnt keep up with basic swype gestures.

Basically all food comes in plastic now a days. There are still people surprised to find out that the aluminum or steel can they get food out of is coated internally.

This article is talking about heating plastic in a microwave which is something a lot of people do but I suspect fewer people have unloaded skids from the back of a tractor trailer in the summer. That stuff that is at room temp on the grocery store shelve has gone through a tone of heat cool cycles before it makes it to you.

Yeah I always considered something used to make sure the game will run correctly on my system and I feel like 2 hours is generous enough for that use case. I suppose it doesn't preclude game breaking bugs later in the experience but nothing is perfect.

Valve is there to facilitate the sale of the game, not guarantee the game is good.

You may or may not know that the term ultrabook is an intel trademark, so you are not going to find an ultrabook branded machine with AMD in it.

I'm sure intel is pumped that the term is being genericized.

The awards and grants line item for ~15MM is the second largest thing listed under staff and ahead of Internet hosting.

I do not mind that they provide those grants, it is just something to keep in mind.

Even staff is not that high.

They have long ago eclipsed the cost of running it and now donate/fund causes that are in line with their views.

Youtube is social media, just instead of the tweets or reddit posts the currency is videos.

A lot of the sibling comments are talking about this distro itself but they are also neglecting SUSE foray into the container orchestration space with Rancher and K3s. I would assume that is where they are looking to grow.

Are they actually bespoke compilers, or just some decade old fork of gcc that works for that chipset and is never updated again?

( I am not being facetious )

Honestly the picture shown in that thread are fine and most people I have met grok those commands really quick.

The issue is git's interface is terrible and very powerful. Which means when something goes awry and they land outside those 5 or 6 commands they often have no idea how to fix it. Which invariably leads to a copy paste of their changes and a delete and re-clone.

Honestly I really like mercurial. I found its interface better but in this day and age all the tooling is built around git so ...

aha when I was younger and they tried that shit I would just shrug and say I guess they were not getting paid then which as you say seems to be the magic incantation to fix these readers.

A huge chunk of the responses in this post are bananas.

No wonder women struggle in tech if this is even slightly representative.

These port replicators are easily replaced by a monitor with a high-speed usb c hub now a days.

I have not needed one in years, power, peripherals, and networking all go through the single usb-c connection.

Reads like a "too big to fail" argument.

It works for the banking industry I guess so why not here too.

Management is a skill and a lot of people get peter principled into it and don't learn or hone the skill set required.

Are people putting their databases in K8s now? I thought the old rule of thumb was don't do that but perhaps it has changed.

Feels like the database would take a massive performance hit using network backed storage unless the software is aware of that fact.

Alcohol has better margins than pizza so they probably did not want to remove it from the menu despite the obvious problems it causes.

All sorts of crap like facial recognition or object identification.

Every bit of ML you can offload on your clients is one you don't have to pay for.

We take your soup and pipe it into chat-gpt 4 and what you get is what you get.

The ever growing field of prompt engineering continues to grow.

Python packaging is painful.

They will probably get a build system going so wheels can be used eventually.
