It really is disheartening to see so many technically-inclined people berate the one browser that is preventing Apple/Google hegemony. The expectations set upon Mozilla and Firefox are so unrealistic it's laughable. Firefox is roc

Wow, that's a strong claim. There are various counterexamples to this, so I'd say it's definitely not a law of nature. And anyway, nature by nature (lol) is essentially lawless. It's all random collisions of tiny molecul

First off, I think everyone deals with this at some point. I think, also, since you are always changing as a person, what helps you cope at one point of your life might not work as life goes on. Various things have all contributed, in some

Does Chrome really use significantly less resources than Firefox? Are there numbers there?

No. Ableism (not sure why the quotes, comes off as a little sarcastic) is expecting and demeaning individuals--either purposefully or implicitly due to environmental design--for not achieving some arbitrary standard of “normal”. No one advo

I agree. There are enough substantial features in Firefox that push it over the top for me. For one, scrolling is just so much better than in any Chrome browsers, which I have noticed tend to drop frames and lag, regardless of the machine

Personally, I put very little stock in NYT health reporting articles. I am a public health researcher, and I have seen numerous NYT articles that just get fundamentals wrong. Though my field is not sleep studies, I can tell the conclusion o

Regarding the open source part, Jon has spoken about it on a podcast from last year[0][1]. Basically the only think keeping them from full open-source is the license which they think would make the company possibly fall to another competito

There is a video [0] I love that explains an argument for this well. The more people you have participating and iterating in a field, and more generally in life, the better that field/life ultimately becomes. Allowing more women in the

Yes! Seconding this request. For my purposes, a range from this level of non-technical to some light Googling would be fine, but it seems like so much of streaming hasn't reached levels of approachability for people outside the command

Just curious, what EU brand/brands did you end up going with? I couldn't find anything specific to that on the EWG website.

I'm not quite sure where it came from originally, I've seen it attributed to Feynman for sure. Michael Crichton described it as "Gell-Mann Amnesia" in a talk: https://www.epsilontheory.com/gell-mann-amnes
