   So in hindsight, if you were CEO of Mozilla - what would you have done differently that you believe would have maintained Firefox market share? —— I think diehard Firefox fans don’t understand that, no matter how great you make Firefox - it

    I'm hoping this means Stripe Tax will finally get the capability of actually filing the appropriate paperwork & taxes in the geographies it's required.

    My guess, it’s not. And probably just a great compliant to their TaxJar acquisition from 2021 (+ entry into Paddles space). https://stripe.com/newsroom/news/taxjar

    This is describing the broader difference between the BSDs (kernel + userland) vs Linux (only kernel). With that being said, I’d love it if a NixOS like variant came to a BSD.

    Thanks for the details. Any reasons why you would not recommend Nim? Or things Nim could improve? (Nim seems like this unicorn of languages, that's completely overlooked. And I don't understand why it's overlooked)

    I got to 41. What helped is remembering an entire "block" of tags e.g. H1 would also mean H2-H6 (I'll be the first to admit I really struggled to get to 41 and I too have been writing HTML by hand since 90s)
