   Ah, well, the default that comes on the distro was the culprit there. Fixed now. Thanks!

   GitHub already deals with a window of half screenwidth poorly, as in requiring horizontal scrolling to see things. That's what I meant.

   But I also need the horizontal space! I very often tile windows side by side to allow developing while seeing the results, or while reading documentation. Maybe I'm just picky. I don't know. Chrome does the job pretty well thou

   Ah, well, when you Google for "smaller firefox [interface/menus]" you just get results like: "How to make the menus in Firefox larger" (no thanks) "How to install a compact theme in Firefox" (which doesn&#

   Manjaro Cinnamon. I love everything else about it.

   I find curated lists better for exploration than search, but perhaps I just lost my ability to search whimsically. To each their own I guess.

   I guess it's just Linux then. Ah well, I hope you enjoy it anyway. I'm still going to donate to Mozilla at the end of the year. If nothing else, competition is great and their documentation is amazing.

    Maybe these are silly things to complain about with fellow techies, but the things that prevent me from switching to Firefox: The menu bars are enormous even on a compact theme. Bigger than on Chrome. I only have so much vertical space to

    Now if only people would stop using `@here` for every little thing, it'd be easier to separate "blue" notifications from "red" and Slack would actually be the perfect model of async communication. I could prioritiz

    And yet what I struggle most with is identifying who, if anyone, benefits from this. Who, if anyone, controls this. Or is it all just chaotic feedback?

    This new flavor of conservatism is so strange in light of how bound to free market ideals most flavors of conservatism are. In general, I really quite dislike Conservative/Liberal labels as political stances are not two-dimensional, bu

    I've done development with all the databases, languages and packages installed on the host machine, as well as with vagrant. With the VM, I have to ssh in, or switch windows to run tests, whereas before I could just run the tests in v

    Yeah, it's not ethical to give those out without basically already having committed to interviewing the candidate.

    I've always liked essay writing. I mean, not so much as an assignment, but they're satisfying to bring together; from perfecting the construction of individual sentences, to structuring the flow of paragraphs. To that end, I qui

    I find it curious how one can implant code like this into existing codebases. It takes us a while to code review and deploy, and when we deploy we overwrite what's already on production

    Each standard deviation of excellence earned along any dimension extracts a greater toll on all others. It's good to have a specialty along one or two axes, especially given that you may not care much to be good at the grand lot of th

    Worse if the manager is incompetent; quibbles over minor details in code review, yet railroads through massive PRs with endless methods just haphazardly strewn into monster classes with no modularity or sense.
