Brave is a solid option if you don't want to leave the underlying Chromium and it's extension ecosystem but still have privacy capabilities that Google is axing with Manifest v3.
Firefox is also a solid option. Firefox is one of the few stable options remaining to use a non-Chromium based browser. Most popular Chrome extensions have Firefox releases as well so you may not even lose that functionality in a switch.
Advocates for Firefox frequently point out that part of how we got here with the Manifest v3 issues is by consolidating browser technologies. Chrome, Brave, Edge, etc all use the Chromium core which is part of what gives Google such a strong ability to influence web technology developments to their advantage and our detriment. If this is something you care about then it may be worth voting with your feet and giving Firefox a chance.
> But we understand some folks want to continue using third-party password management across browsers and devices. So, we’ve teamed up with Bitwarden, the accessible open-source password manager, in the first of what we hope to be several similar integrations. In the coming weeks, Bitwarden users will be able to activate this seamless two-way integration in their browser settings.
We've got AI assisted rotoscoping already and while it looks a bit janky at times its still a whole lot faster than doing it all by hand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq_KOmXyVDo
I disagree that TypeScript comes with only a marginal upside. In my experience TypeScript projects are much more approachable for contributors.
For example, I once was debugging an issue in a JS framework and while I knew what was wrong and where I could fix it I didn’t have any idea what existing tools I had available in that context to fix it. Having type definitions would have made that work much simpler by increasing the accessibility of the code base.
It’s experiences like this that have convinced me that if I’m writing code that any one will possibly read or need to modify later (including if it is just me) then I should be writing TypeScript instead of JavaScript. Or, more generally, that it should be typed.
The “users voted with wallets” / “free market decided” line often ignores how consumers are not choosing in a vacuum or choosing simple things or sometimes not choosing at all.
Often choices are made for short term benefits that come with a long term negative trade off. ie choosing features like a phone camera even though the device also disregards the user’s privacy.
In other cases, choices aren’t even made by consumers directly. Like when a company acquires potential competition before they’re able to grow into a threat. Or even a company uses their growing economic power and position for regulatory capture.
Sometimes a company just breaks away from their competition and end up the only competitive choice in the market and are able To cement their position through the means above.
Especially following the previous cases, users sometimes don’t choose at all because there remain no meaningful choices in the ecosystem they purchase in.
I'm 100% with you on the "not even sure what spiritual means as I've never heard a coherent definition". If anyone is interested, this position is known as theological non-cognitivism, ignosticism, or igtheism
> Theological noncognitivism is the non-theist position that religious language, particularly theological terminology such as "God", is not intelligible or meaningful, and thus sentences like "God exists" are cognitively meaningless.
> Ignosticism or igtheism is the idea that the question of the existence of God is meaningless because the word "God" has no coherent and unambiguous definition.
> One who poses as a satisfied customer or an enthusiastic gambler to dupe bystanders into participating in a swindle.
Is it "shilling" if you're a project manager recommending your product? He doesn't appear to be posing as anything other than a Microsoft employee working on the Edge team.
However I am not convinced that is what has happened in the US and Canada's suburban development with regards to the overwhelming adoption of single family homes.
Charles Marohn, a former city planner and engineer, has written about this "the free market has spoken" position as his own previous position on this topic which he no longer holds:
> At this point in my life, I was a self-described free-market Republican with an outspoken passion for markets and my chosen profession of civil engineering, which to me was a technical way to say “city building.” If I had been pushed to reconcile my rejection of congestion pricing with my support for the free market, I would have had no problem. I would have said something like:
> > Markets are about the expression of personal preference. It was clear that, since most people drove automobiles, auto-based infrastructure was the clear market preference. Since most people lived in single-family homes, they were also the clear market preference. Given those clear and obvious preferences—combined with the fact that people paid taxes and expected the government to respond to their desires—charging people more for something they already paid for was a ploy to benefit the rich. Instead of congestion pricing, the state should have been building more capacity.
The ubiquity of a given mode of something, in this case single family homes in US and Canadian suburbs, is not necessarily evidence that people overwhelming want or support those modes. Especially if there is rarely, if ever, a true alternative available to actually choose instead.
Further, even if we assume that the free market _did_ actually freely choose this mode that it should stand unquestioned in perpetuity. Needs and desires change as people and the world change together.
As someone who has lived in the Midwest for the past ten years I think you’ll be hard pressed to find this. In Lincoln NE, for example, all new housing for at least the past 30 years has been in car-dependent suburban developments which has resulted in all but the Haymarket district of downtown being car dependent.
That district has been mostly livable without a car for the past couple years after a grocery store was built there. I say “mostly” because as soon as you want to do anything outside of The dozen or so blocks of the Haymarket a car quickly becomes required again.
This is a common theme of walkable areas in the US and Canada. They do still exist but because of the development patterns of the past 30+ years they are small islands in an ocean of cars. Their scarcity also drives up prices and makes them less affordable than surrounding areas.
Nelnet Velocity | Site Reliability Engineer, Full Stack Developer | Full Time | REMOTE (US timezones)
Nelnet Velocity is a team at Nelnet, a financial services company, building an API-first microservices-based platform and white label products for a variety of fintech applications starting with lending.
In the lending industry, onboarding processes for new lenders often take several months before clients are live in production with a functioning product. One of the primary goals of our platform and products is to lower this onboarding time to be measured in hours.
We have a startup culture with enterprise resources working with reliable modern technologies and we are looking for motived, detail oriented, and ambitious engineers that care about creating exceptional user experiences even if they aren't working on client-side code.
PopOS has a decent tiling manager built in now. (Icon in top right corner by default) though I should note it isn’t as “hardcore” as classic tiling managers and is instead built primarily for approachability over pure power.
Not exactly sure what you mean but quick look. If you mean spotlight, PopOS has a (imo better) equivalent bound by default to the Super key. If you mean the applications overview, they have that as well by default on a button in the top left of screen. Can also be bound to a shortcut.
I think it will likely take significant modification to fit a mech keeb in the laptop as is. [I asked about the stock keyboard dimensions and was told the module is 3.8mm thick](https://community.frame.work/t/the-keyboard/155/5) which doesn't leave enough room for low profile mechanical keyboard switches that are all ~8mm thick without accounting for caps.
That said, I'm right there with you hoping to see some cool mech keeb work around these laptops!
That’s a JavaScript specific nuance that typescript inherits.
‘const’ declares a variable with an immutable reference, not an immutable value. If you’re referencing a simple literal like a string or a number that’s effectively the same thing but for objects (and arrays under the hood of JavaScript are fancy objects) while the reference to your given object is constant, the properties of that objects are still mutable.
A sticky license includes a clause stipulating that while you can modify the code and share your modifications, any modifications must also be shared under that same license. This is usually referred to as a “share alike” clause. GPL is an example of a license like this.
Not OP, but I've used containers to run temporary local databases for development.
If you're also packaging your application as a container you can use container orchestration tools like `docker-compose` to compile your app and up a local dev environment with all your external dependencies with a single command (eg `docker-compose up`).
The platform in this case would be iOS, not Mac OS. But you can't work with iOS without a Mac OS machine which are particularly expensive.
In comparison, Android allows a lot more flexibility of cost when picking a development machine by allowing you to develop from Linux, Windows, or Mac OS.
Remote: Yes (Hybrid maybe)
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: TypeScript/JavaScript, NodeJS, Deno, npm, Microservices, React, Docker, Kubernetes, SQL, CI/CD, Neovim, bash, automated testing, API design, developer tooling design
