Re "Amazon deforestation" — those lands haven't been deforested because of the western country's consumption of meat, they've been deforested because people are starving, and they need to put food on the table, and

Working with Haskell requires no Category Theory. It's a fun language, and if you play with it and its ecosystem, it might give you ideas to import in your own environment. Pick up a good book, and learn it, because it's fun. And

I'm primarily a Scala developer, that also likes Haskell. And you're right. With the caveat that some languages support an encoding of HKTs. You can encode HKTs in OCaml, Kotlin, or TypeScript for example, and there are FP librari

Why wouldn't a Monad trait work? You mean you couldn't express it in Rust, even with HKTs? Or you mean that it wouldn't be useful?

Pocket is an acquired company, the integration with FF has been minimal (it does less than the Chrome extension ;)) and I'm pretty sure it pays for itself.

No, it's like Chrome including a PDF viewer.

It has the rendering engine of a browser and that also has some advantages in rendering capabilities. Browsers are really good at rendering rich text, it's what they were designed for, and a native editor can't beat that. There&#x

Maybe because they want to stream that data to data mining servers in the US, possibly third-parties too? I was talking in general anyway. Between GDPR, requirements for safeguarding, and Apple destroying the mobile in-app advertising ID, t

Not sure what you mean, but my AirPods have been working fine with Firefox, including the double tap for skipping to next song gesture. Provided that you have those options enabled. To make it clear, I mostly listen to YouTube Music in Fire

DPAs are currently understaffed, and the complaints and lawsuits are dragging, but I believe this is only temporary. The legal framework is there, lawsuits are happening, and it scares companies built on data surveillance, and we know becau

I wouldn't be so sure. People pay for FB ads due to being able to target a demographic, eg women between 35-45 from California, interested in wellness. That's their whole value proposition. They could turn around and start serving

It's really not the same thing. EU wants data privacy, and has regulations for it. European countries have always had strong consumer protection laws, it just so happens that the EU has unified them and it has teeth. To operate in a co

With HTTPS, you can read the request only in the context of the browser. You can't MITM (via Wireshark and similar tools, or over the network), unless you have a root certificate and override the website's certificate with it (ass

I think your hope is misguided. People dreamed of an Internet where sharing of information was free (as in freedom). Then DRM happened. And even if DRM cannot be 100% reliable, being broken by design, it's reliable enough, plus in the

uBO and uMatrix on Firefox are more capable. For example, uBO on Firefox can block trackers masquerading as first-party requests. Also Google is going ahead with deprecating the necessary APIs in Manifest v3, going with a Safari-like model

Why would you use bangs, when Firefox and Chrome have perfectly usable custom search keywords? Moreover, some of the bangs suck. Like for example !hn. I’d rather search HN via Google, with my own keyword, because that Angolia engine is crap

Having only ~24 hours to submit a fix for your app, or risk negative reviews from disgruntled users ... is pretty shitty though. Apparently developers are unable to do this during the betas.

Yes, I do, because this isn't just about my source-code, but about the dependencies of dependencies.

I've been using the betas, and haven't had any problems with the apps. What patches are required for apps to work on iOS 14?

To add, making the version part of the namespace is the right thing to do, also because it avoids conflicts with transitive dependencies. Changing the namespace means that the same project can depend on multiple different major versions of

Indeed, you're correct.

Oh, I don't know about that. I wouldn't call it impossible. I like how Java binaries still work on the latest Java, however, if distribution happens via binaries, why should the language keep source compatibility anyway? Or, you k

Java relies on String + Object for composing strings, thus unsafely converting any object into string. An implicit conversion, akin to what JavaScript is doing. String interpolation would be safer, as it would make the intent clearer, and y
