Not everyone likes the mentoring and pedagogy aspects as much, and that's fine IMHO. I do like it despite turnover and "wasting" resources on some people, but I'm coming from an education/instruction background. I c

You don't even have to bother with Docker Desktop these days, you can start it in `/etc/wsl.conf` directly with `service start docker` and forget about it, it'll start with the VM. I think this is a rather new feature th

When they announced the split, I seem to remember reading it's setup pretty much the same way as the Mozilla Corporation, so as a corporate subsidiary of Mozilla Foundation.

10 million people is pretty damn tiny when compared to the 4 and some billion internet users out there, though. Even if 100% of them moved over, isn't it just fractions of a percentage point? Why would Google care at all?

Isn't it only something like 1 in 4 people who use ad-blockers in the first place? Of those, how many actually use uBlock Origin? Also, outside FF, aren't all noteworthy alternatives Chromium at this point?

Oof. Hard disagree on that one, way too black & white of a position for me in the face of such a broad concept as "data".

Great board but in retrospect, I do enjoy a dedicated number row, as they get way too often combined in chord shortcuts like Ctrl+Alt+1 to hide them for my usecases. I own a Planck, but in retrospect I should have went with the Preonic. Pla

Hmm, funny how as a non-native speaker, it didn't strike me as having a particularly notable style.

Honestly, I've only really used `jq` to quickly parse JSON structures in interactive sessions e.g curl -s http://foo.bar | jq .some.nested.value Anything more complicated I would indeed go for writing a proper script.

Yeah the go one looks terrible but then you take a look at it and it's just creating slices, looping over stuff and appending stuff to the aforementioned slices. The syntax is much less expressive, therefore very verbose, but it's
