It depends on the use case, but for a lot of modern render heavy sites, I find Gecko to be strictly better, both in terms of overall time to render and giving a user experience with less flashes of unstyled context.

1) I am personally annoyed as someone who has had to unwind knotty dict soup python codebases. 2) This will make life easier for thousands of programmers and prevent a massive number of extremely difficult bugs from hurting users.

I wonder if this is related to acculturation. I would guess that people who are trained as computer scientists or work in tech are exposed to arguments over whitespace, and more self taught people are not. Not to say that spaces are a more

I think when it comes down to it labor conditions are in the details, and it depends on the work. External pressure can help workers get a better deal, but often, especially if there is a collective bargaining agreement in place, coverage t

I worked as a union picker for a warehouse in 2001 - I was just there until I went to college, but if I had stayed for a year the 12.50 an hour I was making would have been raised to 16.50, and subject to raises as I stayed longer. Nearly 2

For me, Slack has fully replaced email for any time sensitive communication. Email still exists but only for the following: - Company or department wide announcements - Welcoming new hires - Artifacts from build systems and automated tools

React is funded and staffed with full time engineers from Facebook. React is a standout when handling large datasets, but tends to mildly underperform on small ones. Seems like a reasonable tradeoff.

A metric I've found useful: Is your boss directing what you're working on right now? Software is a profession, and like any profession it requires that you put in time to practice and expand your skills. Keep what you need to do f

Yeah, they pitched it as a discount but they also raised the base rate at the same time so the framing rang a little hollow.

The clock ticks from announcement until the employee submits the results received from the lab. The lab is selected from a list of approved labs, but is otherwise unaffiliated.

I've seen it done in a much more brutal (if less discriminatory) fashion - everyone who doesn't get a full fluids screening in done 2 months sees their premium jump. Employees are responsible for booking their lab appointment, rec

Cashless stores don't have cash handling expenses. Without social coordination business isn't necessarily incentivized to include unbanked customers.

There is a root cause fix - it's legal tender. Systems exist that accept legal tender in an automated way. The preservation of the bearer value of cash money is a more important principle than the preservation of amazon's marginal

The principle they're being banned on is because they're cashless, not because they're automated. The logic is sound - unbanked people exist, including in San Francisco, and without a bank account these stores are inaccessibl

I think that this type of tool can produce a much readable program without a large change to how writeable the program was. Tools like state diagrams can be similar - by using an automata of some type you generate an artifact that can make

I think an interesting question is how much of it is because of Apple starting to lean on privacy as a differentiator, rather than DuckDuckGo continuing to do so.
