I added Livemarks. It helps, but it's still missing a critical feature of the old extension- the icon showing which RSS links you've already visited. That'll be added at some point at least: https://github.com&#x2F

It's really weird to apparently be personally part of a 0.01% group. I feel that usage rate must be suspect- in some Firefox version they gave out live bookmarks by default, and surely more than 1 in 10,000 people still have those. Do

Thanks! That might be it. For future notice though, the answer in the first link is wrong; you want "places.history.expiration.current_max_pages", not "places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages". Apparently t

About the omnibar: does anyone know what its limitations are? It seems to lose sites I only use somewhat infrequently. It's frustrating when I know I've been there plenty of times, but nothing pops up.

This sounds like tooling and formatting consistency versus abstraction consistency. Go isn't great for building powerful abstractions, so at a higher level implementations will trend towards inconsistency, however consistent the low le

You can compile Rust/C/etc executables to it, the stdlib might be different or nonexistant (unclear to me), WASM doesn't have a GC (yet) and you can get stacklike semantics, probably fewer security holes, the installer probab

They basically turned the game into a testbed for extremely exploitative practices. It's been a while since I walked away in disgust, but one example I remember is the crates system. Essentially, they added "item drops" calle

What a remarkably condescending philosophy! Do people really think that poorly of their coworkers? Of themselves?

Ad hominem is not an argument. To be fair, neither is anything as generalized as this article. I'd say it's more useful as a lens through which to consider software than a fact you could prove or disprove. If you don't feel i

I really wish React wouldn't add more state handling, because it's never been particularly good. I use MobX and loathe the overcomplication of stuff like e.g. Redux. Hooks look like a misguided attempt at addressing React's l

Not quite a circle. There'd be progress in that you could choose your "Javascript" and "DOM", which really opens up a lot of possibility for progress. No need to force eternal compatibility or put up with bad APIs-

I'm curious what you'd think a reasonable price point would be. For context, I'm currently trying to set up a paid email hosting company because $50 a year seemed a bit ridiculous to me, and it seemed like it could be done a

I think using dynamically typed languages is a mistake today, but that it probably made more sense a few years ago. What changed: - More developer familiarity with type systems that aren't Java and C++. Type inference. - Better languag

Is a license for 2500 scooters worth much, startup wise? Pulling numbers from this: https://medium.com/13-notes/unit-economics-of-the-bird-scoot... To maintain a presence of 2500 scooters for a year, you'd need 25

My concern is exactly that the offsets from externalities would go to special use funds attempting very naively to rectify them. For one thing, governments are inefficient, and externalities aren't always easy to reverse. So probably a

The article's central point seems to be that it's more difficult to track accountability and causality in an increasingly "overheated" and complicated world. True. But the major system for addressing that currently seems

As a general rule, I'd expect companies to deliver morality in line with how much the consumer can tell they're actually buying morally, and also actually cares. So, with infinitely long supply chains and very complicated products

Hm, I'd say not agreeing on facts/truth is more of a byproduct of not agreeing on what we want. As a civilization, we still have the fatal problem that people want what's best for themselves, and we don't have great ways

Identity is not a concept the universe recognizes. The basic building blocks of the universe provably have no identity; all atoms composed the same are interchangeable. Of course a philosopher would never realize that, because they'd n

Probably true, but completely missing my point. Buses are inflexible solutions, far from ideal transport. You have to find the bus, abide by its schedule, and the bus can only deliver its passengers sort of near its destination. If the bus
