You're right - my at a glance ballpark math put it closer to 50% than 33% but looks like it's on the other end of that spectrum. Can't edit now but... still high.

It was a spin-off within Mozilla though - not a rival fork.

Nothing much changed in terms of % here YoY: still almost 50% of salaries going to management, ~25% of total company expenditure. I wonder if Mitchell has given herself another enormous raise on top of last year's 5 million. A few folk

Siblings have covered it well enough but just to add what I think is a significant detail: it's the primary way to distribute & run open source software on Android. So it can be thought of as equivalent to brew/ports on macos

One of the issues raised is that the Council approved maintainership privileges for one individual & Hans refused to grant them - this gives me the impression that 1 single individual has exclusive access to grant such privileges (typic

Independently of the veracity of any statements from either side, the simultaneous resignation of 3 of the main foundation members of the primary open-source repository for the largest mobile OS seems worthy of HN.

@dang given the subject of this post is censoring statements made within their own community, I'm concerned about how quickly this was dropped off frontpage due to being flagged here on HN - wondering if this is potentially an abuse of

It's worth noting that this is almost certainly a deliberate policy to push Firebase Cloud Messaging signups & inclusion of accompanying blobs in 3rd-party Android apps. Even within the non-PWA app world, low adoption of initiative

The main use I've seen is returning "promise-like" objects in functions that can be sync or async depending on params but are expected to have a common return type.

by lucideer 3y ago
Promises are part of the language. Async/await are just syntax around Promises - they're all 1 feature.

The language provides Promise objects[0]. Async/await is just syntactic sugar around Promises - every await awaits a Promise object, every async returns one. Also, it's a bit weird to say callbacks -vs- promises. Callbacks aren&

That's assuming a degree of engineering competency at the product decision making level that is usually absent in companies that are structured as Google is, with pretty strong demarcations of competencies across teams.

The sentence is talking about full switchover- that doesn't happen with sales bans. It's not a missing word, no matter what way you want to try and frame it. The sentence is written as intended.

Because it's obvious enough that those who aren't experts in that field can easily point it out. That a supposed expert in the field missed it raises concerns by proxy about their expertise in general.
