Firefox OS was pretty cool and had it succeeded(Which it might well have if they'd stuck with Witch's plan of targeting the third world), Mozilla would be in a much stronger position to influence web standards and generate revenue

"vote for me because the other person sucks." seems to be indeed the status quo that politicians in all democracies feel.mlst comfortable with. I think we need to add an "execute everyone on the ballot" option so that po

Other than code related data annotation for LLMs, this is the only kind of work I've ever been able to find in software development, all the consulting shops big or small work like that here. When I read about people having proper test

Same as in Spain, I've worked at some of the body shops where these things are made, I was a very junior programmer and they assigned me to work on very critical systems, and any suggestions of implementing unit or integration tests, o

In fact notch has stated several times that he would open source it when it stopped being profitable. But I guess a 2.5 billion buyout rules out unprofitability.

More like a narrative multiple train wreck. There have been so many retcons, resurrections, inter-series crossovers and changes of characterization that it's pretty much impossible to understand what's going on with marvel comics
