I wonder if one has ever been successful in using the data access and protection laws (such as GDPR) to request access to his file and interview feedback.

Is it really easy to find high quality pirated content? I've got the impression that highly-compressed content is often so popular that bigger/higher quality files are hard to find.

I believe nobody should count on backups provided by the product that stores your data. There are different kinds of backups here: * the ones that are part of the offer, where the provider gives you a convenient way to recover from your mis

I think it was meant to say "nobody is infallible", these events are extremely rare, but they /will/ occur, even if you're a customer of the best and biggest players.

Those are not the type of skills listed in your job description (which is part of your contract).

I agree, but I think it's (mostly) not an issue. IIRC we're asked to use our corp email for contributions, unless we already have contributions under your own name/email address on the project. I read this as: * if you intera

If I remember correctly, I had similar or worse in my employment contracts in France. Worse being "your skills are to be used exclusively for the benefit of Employer". That means that you can't do freelance work, or open sour

I'm a googler, I've got side projects, most of them are open-source. While I'd prefer not to think about all this and just code, I appreciate that there is an existing policy instead of a bad surprise in a few years. The curr

This project is advertised on its own domain (not a mozilla.org subdomain) and there's no header/footer/link to mozilla.org. This makes me think that it's not a feature on the roadmap of firefox sponsored by Mozilla, but

by martius 7y ago
While I agree that a lot of features from Chrome appear later in Firefox, I don't think it's true for the engine. As an example, asm.js, the technology which became Web Assembly has been invented by Mozilla folks.

I'm not saying that this is a good revenue model nor that I support it. I'm saying that employees of a company probably don't antagonize the others like that.

What do they feel? What about being thankful for being a revenue stream, it allows us to work on more free (as in beer) and open source developer tools

My guess is that startup time is not the issue, but loading a large data structure (its cache) from disk can be. Especially if you can't or don't want to use memory mapping because it's hard to do well. But more importantly,

Relation between engineering and sourcing also works the other way: engineering can teach recruiters to read CVs better. A minimum would be to have the recruiter explain why they thought the CV was worth a review and the engineer can then c

This is why I explicitly avoid these lists and highlight some core tech which should be meaningful for other engineers. I try to use terms specific enough to implicitly include several skills. My intuition is that if my CV is ignored by a r

Seriously? While I sometimes enjoy watching trailers for other films in the "bonuses/special features", when I buy a film (whatever the price), what I want is to watch the film: I put the disc in the player, I press play a co

Yes, basically this news means "Ruby, python and Perl may not be preinstallled, install them yourself". It's not a big deal for users of Homebrew or other package managers.

Eating less meat is not veganism. It's not even vegetarianism. It's not the first time that I'm seeing reactions about this report to focus on veganism. I don't understand where it comes from: the word "vegan"

+1, I did the same thing 5 years ago ( https://marti.us/w/2014-07-19-Mozilla-BSP.html ). It indirectly helped my carreer: It gave me confidence that I could be an occasional contributor to OSS. I learned valuable things
