What product or market mozilla still relevant? Of all the sites I manage, or companies I worked with in the last 5 years mozilla browsers were less than 1% of the userbase.

In Germany and France Mozilla has about the same market share as Edge, in Austria it's even more. Yes, Mozilla makes some dumb decision, but I think the bigger problem is that computer literacy has declined overall. Most people don't even realize they have a choice. Things like ad-blockers and privacy should be taught in schools.

1% of all internet users is an absolutely gigantic user base.

And those countries have stores every corner that will replace it. I live in one.

The latest iPhones require the battery to be cryptographically paired to the phone and can only be done by Apple or a few approved vendors. You can’t just take them to a normal repair shop.

Good Ecstasy is pure mdma and fillers not necessarily others drugs.

Ecstasy is a street name, and its meaning can vary a lot depending on where you are. Around Berlin you’ll find lots of people that call only MDMA pills ecstasy, while Emma is street MDMA, for example.

I can confirm that in my entire life in the US, no one has ever called pure MDMA "ecstasy". The latter has always referred to MDMA cut with something.

There may be different subcultures in the US that I don't know about, of course.

I like the new one better.

Fraud implies intent.

"Our broader goal in writing this up was to illustrate some higher-level TypeScript features and type-driven design patterns in the practical context of modern web development."

Is type-driven design a think? For me it's just development ...

It's rarer these days, but there are still plenty of devs who don't think static types are important.

I think the reverse is more common.

Yeah, check out Type Driven Design with Idris or this presentation https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/ddd/

It’s as opposed to db driven design, or object oriented design

That's some cyberpunk level monitoring

Missing the brain implant.

1 week! Love the benevolent leaders of our industry /s

That's > 2% of this years work weeks now as an extra paid holiday, that's a pretty big random bonus in my mind.

One week in addition to normal holiday allowance.

I don't work or use Bumble, but a quick search says they have 3 weeks of vacation and 12 holidays. Which is at or above average for US.

My company gives 3 weeks to new hires plus another week around Christmas. They gave us an extra Covid week and everyone sure appreciates it.

The legal minimum is 20 days for the London office, 22 in Spain, at least that in Moscow. (This is in addition to public holidays.) Bumble probably offer a bit more.

In the UK and Spain, that's also the number you must use, I don't know about Russia. (In other words, if you've not used any days by December, you'll be taking all of December off. Or whenever your year wraps round.)

I don't think it is a requirement to take all holiday in the UK? I've definitely not used all of mine in the past.

The Northern Ireland link was easier to find:

> You must take at least four weeks’ holiday a year, so only holiday on top of this can be carried over and then only if your employer gives you permission or if this is permitted by your contract of employment.

I once had a colleague who was given a letter along the lines of "you still haven't used enough holiday; unless you advise us of your preferred days, you will be on holiday from date X to Y".

It's a requirement to take the legal minimum (20 days), but most companies offer 25 or so so in practice you can usually carry over 5.

I believe it's in order to nullify the ability for a company to apply alternative pressures to stop people taking their entitled holiday.

And in addition to that, what is the company culture/attitude around using time off. Unlimited time off is great, in theory, unless you're made to feel like a monster for using any.

I almost puked with that background, got very dizzy ...

I see why the type of comment above got downvoted, and I know it's not the main point of sharing this.

But I have to agree with the commenter above, the background made me feel really dizzy and strange in a way I've never experienced from a computer screen before.

That's sad. 8GB should be more than enough for that workload. Sometimes I feel like we are regressing.

I would expect the workload as described to be fine on M1 Macs too (perhaps excepting Lightroom). If I had to guess, something in the background was adding memory pressure. For instance, I’ve seen the Spotlight background processes (mds, mds_stores) take over 16 GB. And those definitely work hard during the first run.
