It’s a different piece of software. It makes no sense for them to adopt the Firefox Terms of Use, no matter how they might think of them.

Yeah, I would feel so ridiculous, propelling this whole fucking boat just to move my ass to the grocery store…

So, you have to start it while your cursor is over the wallpaper, but then you can click on windows to kill them, right?

The engine makes it so HTML, CSS, JavaScript etc. are downloaded and turned into pixels you can look at. The browser embeds an engine for that purpose, but then also has a URL bar, tabs, bookmarks, a history feature and so on.

The Edge engine before Blink was called “EdgeHTML”.

It’s the value of the US dollar over the past 5 days. This is too short of a timespan to assign much meaning to this, but if it keeps dropping, US citizens will eventually have to spend more dollars for the same goods.
In theory, they would also receive more dollars from their job, since they still do the same job and that should be valued the same. But in practice, that’s going to naturally lag behind and companies also have to spend more dollars for resources, so they might never hand out a big enough number of dollars to match the current pay.

If we don’t get bullied for being different or locked up in solitary confinement, then our mental health is generally fine…

I think, they misunderstood the “mental health” and thought they were supposed to fuck that up as much as possible.

Yeah, that’s kind of my least favorite part about the existence of LLMs. Before, when someone wrote some code, there was a non-zero chance that they understood what they were doing and that the code is at least sane on a basic level. If they did some complex shit or even just wrote rather verbose code, you could be reasonably certain that they tried something simpler first.

Now, all of those assumptions are out the window. The biggest dumbass can generate code that looks alright at first glance and if you have to review it, you really don’t know how to interpret it or how much to explain when you find fairly obvious mistakes.

Here’s an example, I have looked up many times (like just now), which checks whether a string is empty:

var=""
if [ -z "$var" ]; then
    echo "empty"
else
    echo "not empty"
fi

Why -z? I have no idea. I will also routinely forget the ]; then part. I believe, if you write the then onto the next line, then you don’t need the semicolon. And then someone’s probably gonna tell me to use double-brackets [[ ]] instead, which probably does something.

Arguably, I never fully learned Bash syntax, but it also is just a stupid if-statement. There shouldn’t be that much complexity in it.

What I’m saying is that the Republic Party is trying to dismantle democracy. You don’t have to be a fan of the politics of the Democratic Party to want to at least retain the shrivel of a democracy the US had before.

Well, this news is about their valuation, i.e. their stock price, which is only partially tied to their profitability. If there’s bad news about their consumer cards, that could still lead to people selling their stock, because they expect other people to sell their stock, too. If you’re the first to sell, you still get a relatively good price compared to everyone else.

If you have to make a spreadsheet, yeah. But since I’ve started working in a company, I have seen things, which will make me avoid making a spreadsheet, even if it’s theoretically a good fit for the task at hand.

My impression is that it is certainly a lot worse in the US than here in Germany. I imagine the abundance of guns means that being a cop is fucking dangerous, which means they will get uneasy in conflicts quite logically, but also that it’s not exactly a job you go for, if you have aspirations in life. I mean, why would anyone voluntarily become a cop in the US, if not to abuse your power?

This meme made sense in 2012, not when the Republican Party has decided to be the Anti-Democratic Party.

It’s Worcestershire all over again…

Well, it’s not exactly made easy when folks wade through the commit history and drag something out into the public before it’s properly announced. I certainly do not want Mozilla to move development behind closed doors, just so their PR looks better.

I think, part of the frustration is that many people have been wishing for realistic Pokemon games for a long time, to experience their favorite anime as if it was real. Pokemon Colosseum gave people a lot of hope when it came out a million years ago and then it’s just been disappointment after disappointment. Even the recent games hardly look better.
