Saying "yet" almost implies there's supposed to be progress towards it? If anything, I think there's been regress. There was a time, long past, when I didn't really have to think about the browser itself much at al

I can confirm auto-updater got broken too. When I realized my browser (nightly) was borked, first instinct was to update.. but nope, that didn't work. Then I manually downloaded a new nightly tarball, but that also didn't help.

I don't believe the general sentiment is negative. It's just that the subset with a negative sentiment are more likely to voice their opinion than those who feel neutral or good about Firefox.

IME async "context switches" are indeed vastly less costly, and I don't see why it wouldn't be. And I think calling it context switch is reading too much into it, when it's really just the program continuing on to

Gunicorn does support https. They still seem to recommend using a different server in front of it.

Right now I have gunicorn running with --reload. Change a line of code, refresh/rerun client and see the result.

It's a type-think-type-think cycle (or type-test-think-type-...) and the more time and effort you spend on the typing part, the more it distracts you from the rest. Typing for a few minutes isn't any better than compiling for a f

For me typing is the frustrating part, because when I know what I want the code to look like, having to type it in is just an annoying obstacle I have to go through before I can move on to the next thing, whether that's testing or thin

Yep. I use vim & evil regularly with dvorak. J and K as well as H and L are just fine. H and L are placed very similarly to where they are on qwerty; H is just shifted one position to the right, and L is one position to the right and

Yes, I think not having keycaps helps enormously. Force you to memorize the layout and you can't get lazy about it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29837101

The best way to learn IMO is to find a way to force you into it. What worked for me was switching to dvorak. With no keycaps to match the layout, I had no option but to memorize it (initially with the help of a cheatsheet on screen). Conv
