   Twitter homepage doesn't work. Viewing a user's page works. Viewing a specific tweet works. Twitter app works.

   Thanks for the tip. I’m currently at 3 but I get what you’re saying. I might try it.

   Are you implying there is any email provider that doesn't have access to your emails? How does Fastmail determine which ones are spam?

   I love Gmail’s automated inbox categories. Looks like Fastmail doesn’t have that? (I know I can set up manual filters. I prefer it to be done for me automatically.)

   That stinks. But I’m surprised. I went back to FF full-time in 2021 and have seen almost no compatibility issues with websites.

   Disagree. The comment I replied to was about personally paying for tools. My read was that they meant for personal use. And you started the snark, not me.

   Oh yes I’m sure my boss is shaking in their boots about being liable for how I spend my own money on my own time for personal projects.

   Agreed. JetBrains and GitHub Copilot are the two exceptions for me as an individual programmer.

    You’d rather the tech industry work like industries where only founders and executives reap windfalls of exit events? If your reply is that the company can offer bonuses when the exit event happens, (1) most companies don’t do this after th

    Were you able to exercise those options after the acquisition was announced? Did you finally get the payday you were hoping for?

    by BMorearty 4y ago

    Replacing stock compensation with cash salary and bonus would be a terrible idea. Other industries should be moving toward employee ownership, not the other way around. Employee ownership creates shared incentives. Shared incentives create

    What a surprise to go to Byte Magazine from 1985 and see Picasso’s “Interior with a Girl Drawing” on the cover. I hand-painted a copy of it using oil on canvas in a painting class in the mid-90s. [1] I still have it on the wall of my backya

    There's at least one other type of unenforced law: a law whose opponents were unable to block its passing, but were able to block funding for its enforcement agency or block appointment of a head of that agency.

    I discovered Townscaper a couple weeks ago. It’s relaxing to play with and I have been enjoying building a reproduction of Mont-Saint-Michel...until yesterday when I ran into a limitation in the iPad version. :( According to Oskar’s reply,

    Great post. This is one reason I love using Rails, the fact that it makes so many decisions for you—and with good defaults. Before Rails I had the exhausting experience of spending weeks making tech decisions just to start a project. (I’m a

    Very confusing post. It doesn’t explain how they are now making money--which is probably relevant for some folks to trust them to protect online privacy.

    I haven’t tried Brave but speaking of CMD-SHIFT-A (which also works in Chrome), I’ve learned that Firefox has a CTRL-TAB feature that works better IMO (easier keystroke and it works just like CMD-TAB). It’s optional. The option is called “C

    I’m with you. I like the direction it’s going in. I’m also Firefox as my primary browser after many years of Chrome. The main tab-related visual I need is to see easily which tab is activated. That’s still easy to do with the new style.

    I can’t tell if your first list is misconceptions or your rebuttals to misconceptions. You said it’s misconceptions but I think it’s your rebuttals.

    No, I’ve looked at every tab group addon I can find. None works to my liking.

    Thanks, I looked at that one but I’m not looking for something that takes up more space, either horizontally or vertically. I like how Chrome’s tab groups just collapse your tabs along the top tab bar.

    Agreed, tab groups are the main thing I miss after switching from Chrome recently. Hoping they come soon.
