Been using Firefox as my daily for 5+ years, couldn’t be happier.

This morning various websites stopped working (really random js failures). After lots of digging around…chrome works fine… :/ Waiting on a restart which hopefully fixes things so I can delete this line.

>...who think that making fun of nerds is cool...

No one did that, here, though. However, your responses _have_ been demeaning and reductive.

How about a Yubikey configured such that the tap emits a static password that’s then left with a lawyer to be transferred as a part of a will?

I get aural migraines from Niacin and MSG. Most wheat based flour is enriched with Niacin. You might look into seeing if Niacin is your trigger and be able to eat wheat/yeast again.

My wife's schedule is 12 hours: 7 to 7. Except nine out of ten times she's there until 8 or 9. It's "scheduled" but much closer to BAT times then sun revolution times. Any talk of schedule is discouraged and nurses are fired very quickly if they don't become "team players". Engineers in the valley have a lot more leeway because hiring is a lot harder. I can actively push back against my managers. My wife would be fired on the spot.

You're making numerous points and your later ones are good ones. But the working conditions for front line workers, including but not limited to their scheduling, hours, pay, etc, are all terrible.

> unless they always replace the device whenever the screen is broken, but I doubt that

Why do you doubt that? I'm sure that's exactly what they do.

Edit: Well, by "device" here I read "screen + sensor". If you meant the entire phone then I agree with you heh.

My wife is a nurse at a huge national hospital. You're very wrong. 12 hours shifts turn into 13-14 hour shifts. They're so short staffed right now they're offering double pay + cash lump sums that equate it to triple/quadruple pay. But they pay lower than clinics and other hospitals in the area. They don't turn away patients.

The title is confusing if you think of hyperlinks first.

This is likely the most realistic path forward for most developers using MBPs.

You could just use ‘git undo’ or ‘git reset —-soft HEAD~1’.

I agree with these sentiments. I love 1Password and pay for a subscription. But this post is simply trying to gussy up their subscription-only move for maximizing MRR. Call it what it is - don't lie about it by saying you're only doing it because "everyone loves our monthly subscription service".

I second this thought. Everyone hates patent trolls and it's very possible some of these companies might relish another opportunity to force this one to "lose".

Can confirm. I made the first unofficial Dropbox client for Android years ago called "Droidbox". Different name, different logo, explicit labeling of "unofficial" and they still wanted to sue the pants off me.

This isn't really a 1 Euro house:

- Envisage a restructuring and re-evaluation project within 365 days of purchase.

- Support notarial fees for registration and volture.

- Once all permits are granted, works must start within a maximum of 2 months.

- To guarantee the faireness of the purchase by the buyer, the municipality asks to enter into a surety policy of 5 thousand euros lasting for three years that is then refunded.

So maybe the best approach would be to use a filter/transformation to exclude hard-lined regions (edges) and only embed data within variations/gradations?

Ah, I did pay someone to do the millwork and trim work. You need a very accurate miter saw and a lot of experience to make perfect niters. I’m getting there but I still get off by a 1/16tb” to a 1/32nd” often.

The finish work is the final last guy. The guy that did our trim would randomly yell out swear words every 20 minutes. His life is hard. And he was expensive.

Is that from experience?

Generally all contractors say "the next guys will take care of that". For example, when framing you don't really care if the studs are really straight or if the walls are square. The "next guy" will take care of that.

True enough, when I was drywalling I had the builder come back to take care of some bowed studs that should never have been used.

I've also volunteered at Habitat for Humanity and can confirm that very little "accurate measuring and cutting" was occurring. They'd quickly measure some things, shout out numbers, and then use a circular saw to rough cut it out. But that was it - they didn't refine it after that and went about their merry way.

I have to believe that the accuracy of a foundation is more important but I think it's a fool's dream. They get "close" and they're checked out before the "next guy" has to fix it.

I agree with throwaway0a5e:

I became a homeowner as a never-interested DIY with EE/CS degrees. We had an unfinished basement that we paid the builder to finish only the electrical, plumbing, and framing. I'd always heard drywall'ing was easy so I left that for me to do.

At the time I knew nothing about lighting, fixtures, eletrical work, etc. Ended up agreeing to J-boxes for basement lights rather than cans, and a few other money-saving things (for the electrician).

Before doing the drywall myself, I ended up rerunning all the basement lights, running tons of outlets, installed an electrical subpanel in my garage, new plumbing lines, etc. All inspected and approved on my own permits.

I maybe watched ~200 hours on youtube (easy to do at 2x speed) and read a lot of electrical and plumbing code. But when I was done it was "done right" and not done to "save money".

I ended up saving a ton of money on the electrical and plumbing, easily in the thousands, and only saved $700 on the drywall labor. Moral of the story, don't hang your own drywall by yourself. Pay for it if you can't get a couple friends to help.

> What I found was that the worst case scenario of lockdown is worse, and the average-case scenario is worse.

That is assuming that prolonged lockdown continues to be our response. It clearly doesn't have to as other first-world countries cases have actually been floored.

Aside from complaining about our first run at this, we could/should probably just all wear masks and then spreading is mitigated such that new cases approach zero.

> I anticipated this response of yours.

Ok...

There's an upper bound on the number of deaths, that's good. It's bad to carelessly accept having to hit that upper bound.

> Thus while SARS-CoV-2 is and will remain endemic (circulating in the population), it will barely kill anyone once the current world population is largely exposed to it.

You mean once _all_ the people who could die from it, have died from it?

Deciding what story to pull generally revolves around conversations during sprint planning or with a product manager. What commits you did means you're committing which means you probably (should) have had code reviews. Often times code reviews involve discussions.

If you're one of the few people that don't have person-to-person interaction on a daily basis - congratulations. However, that places you firmly in the minority.

I appreciated your breakdown and definitely laughed out loud at "how could this possibly be a good idea?".

At this point more than enough data exists to show the population will suffer ~1% losses. We shouldn't need 10% to freak out. Not to mention long-tail fatalities that might arise if it becomes an annual virus like the flu. When all that had to happen was people treat it seriously to begin with rather than saying "But the flu is way worse".

The risks of not freaking out and it decimating the populace should easily outweigh the risks of freaking out and it not having an impact. It's very difficult to even rationalize the latter because a freakout might mean the impact is negligible.

It's unfortunate that the CRAP acronyms Act didn't use EVIL (Exit, Voice, Ignore, Loyalty) instead of EVNL. Though I prefer. :(

As other commenters have said, they're $12/yr.

Nit: Trump being super wealthy is arguable on many grounds - definitionally ("super"), wealthy at all, debt superseding wealth, etc. Bloomberg is _actually_ super wealthy.
