Yes, putting the elderly in to hotels is the exact opposite of putting them in to care homes.

On Mac I can't tile windows without installing a third party app, on gnome I can. On windows three finger swiping between desktops when the task view is open is horrible, but gnome handles it perfectly. I use gnome, mac, and windows da

It looks to me like the build up to gnome 3 caused a large increase in contributors, which then naturally petered off back to pre-3.0 levels. Could it be possible your personal experience as a gnome user is clouding your interpretation of t

Don't you have a protest to be at?

It goes to the Mozilla corporation and will therefore mostly fund Firefox/Gecko, but also pocket, VPN etc

I'm really struggling to understand what you mean by "non-native" other than "different to edge". But even that's not useful: different how? Too fast, too slow, too sensitive, not sensitive enough?

by jamienicol 6y ago
Why do you mean by non-native? If it's janky it might "just" be a performance issue. If you could grab a profile from profiler.firefox.com that would be much appreciated

There is nothing ad-hominem about their comment. The most populated london borough has a population of around 400,000. Quite clearly New Zealand's population is greater than any london borough, or even a few combined.

And if you define "god" to mean "whatever gives your life meaning" then of course God gives your life meaning. But it's a completely meaningless statement.

That's quite the reach. I didn't read their comment to mean stardust is a good thing. It's neither good nor bad. In any case, remove the sentence about stardust from their reply and their point still stands.

I wasn't debating anything with that comment, so quite obviously you are incorrect

It's no such thing. It wasn't even an argument - not everything on HN needs to be. As per the guidelines please assume good faith in further discourse.

Yes, I phrased that badly. Let's say looking through history to understand the context of when bugs were introduced and how to fix them

I'd try worrying less about possibly having to do some menial work or being perceived as an ist, and instead try to understand why some might be offended by such terms or what impact their prevalence might have on our profession and wi

You are welcome to be as unaccomodating as you'd like in your own projects, but if the people doing the work in projects such as git want to make this change that is their choice. what you're really arguing is that they should be

So pocket in no way detracts from your privacy. It's an very useful feature to many people. It's fine if you don't like it, but to use the privacy argument against it is incredibly disingenuous. Edit: Also, you understand inc

I envy you then. I spend a great deal of time looking through history to find bugs. An unclean history is less likely to work well with bisect too, as the individual commits may be broken.

by jamienicol 6y ago
Without a clean history it takes longer to find which commit changed things and why.

> The vast majority of people do not. That's a very bold claim. It's certainly been the expected workflow everywhere I've worked. You might consider it a waste of time but I'd wager the resulting mess of commits from

You can't push a rebased branch without`--force`, and the server can be configured to disallow it entirely. This is exactly how it should be: I want to be able to rebase my by public branches but not the public branch.

"They" is perfectly valid referring to a singular person. > Used to refer to the one previously mentioned or implied, especially as a substitute for generic he.

Eich isn't just a homophobe in private, but actively sought to impinge on others' rights based on their sexuality. I joined Mozilla just after Eich had left, but had I been there at the time I wouldn't have wanted to work for

Even ignoring Eich's very public political views, Firefox's technical decline/stagnation took place whilst he was CTO. Firefox and gecko are much better products since he left, so I'm not sure why anyone thinks he woul
