Brave Search has been gradually improving and I'm pleased with the quality of their results as of late. This is the final push I needed to abandon DDG.

The labor to install mine was $450. Granted I'm in the Southeast of the U.S. so YMMV, but that is not universally true and shouldn't be stated as such.

Barrier of entry is a good call. From my experience on some rather large OSS projects, the ratio of noise to signal on PRs tends to go along with the target audience of the project.

How bizarre (1) that the author doesn't accept Pull Requests. I'd love to know more about why .patch files via mailing list are preferred. 1) adjective . strange or unusual, especially so as to cause interest or amusement.

> A heat pump installed is a year or more salary for most people if it's even an option. I think nuance is required here. I installed what is called a "heat pump" in the US for $2500 USD this last summer. So you can see ho

Interesting. I wasn't aware it'd been in a state of default. What's a good resource to get up to speed?

I'd really like to know why this is getting negged. Student loan debt is a massive number, and if significant numbers of people simply stopped paying, it going to have a major toll.

Do you have an example of industry-wide, pervasive structural shift? Sincere question, as Blockbuster is a good example, but relatively isolated. By the time Blockbuster was done, viable replacements had already arisen.

I get your point, but that was 30 years ago. When I played basketball, we used to say "two buckets is luck, three is a streak" - we've been in favorable markets, with a few temporary dips, for 20 years. I'd call that a

I could see this being the start of a small wave. And that wave is exclusive to regions of the country and companies where tech workers lean extremely heavily left. I don't see this gaining widespread industry adoption though. The mark

I've never loved a job so much that I'd try to organize versus finding a better home for my trade. It's a concept that's completely foreign to me. In tech, we've never been in a market this vast and this thirsty f

I would argue that your take doesn't apply to T-shaped engineers, or engineers that have been in the industry through a multitude of technology shifts and trends.

I was recently offered a founding role. The cofounder is 14 years younger than I. I have a family of 5, she is single and living on a very light income. Her advisers were telling her founders should pay themselves an amount that was approxi

I don't understand how a company like Mozilla doesn't have the UX talent to call this out immediately when the redesign was proposed. This seems more like a change for the sake of change thing we see out of Google.

The registry's docs are famously incorrect and out of date. I don't have the time to enumerate all of them that are incorrect, but a great example are the docs around claiming dead or abandoned packages and orgs - that document is
