Well he got a ban but the letter does not even provide an example of his violations. I would say Mozilla governance is broken and hope more forks appear with respective organic funding. Will definitely be looking at betterbird.

From time to time i go through this cdc[1] website. It is quite comprehensive on child rearing tips. For a longer form reading i went through [2] and still visit it from time to time. I like it because it discusses multiple approaches and m

You can trust science as in scientific method and practice and mistrust specific research or studies. All is well then.

Error handling remains a challenge, but as satisfaction is high it gets no answer at all. Not a single paragraph, how unfortunate. It hits at my major quip with Go: that I do not trust it's governance structure. Otherwise I really like

I guess the world you want your son to live in is one of planned economies and great leaps forward. I for one do not. I would rather that innovation and competitive forces lead into the future of societies. As Stalin used to say: no people

Discarding Eastern European countries like Poland is a mistake. Says a person who sees the country consistently growing their foothold on the global IT market, often with customer satisfaction. Also says a person who is an immigrant to Pol

Interesting it states it is in maintenance mode due to there being a MS Linux client but just had a release 2 hours ago. A bit shooting itself in the foot. Will give it a try. The last time I saw it, I skipped it because I though it was obs

It does by the fact that private equities are purely financial institutions with massive economic and legal leeway, able to buy all the nursing homes. From a market perspective that already creates a distortion, which is the point of the ar

Great tidbit! It was not state owned but from my point of view there is a consensus that decisions were made through state channels, namely dealings with Banco Espirito Santo(BES) by the ex-PM. Those issues are now the subject of a long dra

Portugal cares because there are a significant amount of Portuguese business interests in Brasil. The remainders of the Portuguese financial system are there and the destruction of Portugal Telecom(the state owned telecom) happened because

I remember reading that the Portuguese authorities were not sure the heart was in condition for travel. There were significant diplomatic efforts to have it moved to Brazil. As a Portuguese I am glad it happened and that it is even touring

I had a reply similar to that on my draft. It is incredible that people believe such things. When I was 18 year old I had similar ideas, but later I found a great song by the clash that goes by as: “I fought the law but the law won”[1]. Eve

Governments nudge because if there is not a continuous thread of culture and people to carry it over a long timespan than a lifetime, then it’s values and long term designs are lost. Immigrants are important but they need to be integrated i

More and more I notice that people have a huge cognitive dissonance in accepting that all people were once children and that these people they know and esteem were once someone’s burden. I also find it somehow naive to believe we are someho

That is why, as per [1] the hammer is about to fall on private equity and it's total finantialization of markets. The finantialization per-se is harmful as per the quote, but the worse is that there are often board members seating on c

I have a 2021 BMW and I really like the alternatives on button and touch screen it offers. I barely use the touchscreen and when not needed I outright turn it off. This is quite easy because BMW has 8 buttons that can be mapped to any funct

Aren’t the apps reproducible? Meaning, if the open source part does not match the binaries the it could be a canary for compromise. Mind you, the last time I looked there are not alternate implementations of the signal protocol and even th

Amazing. On the other hand it makes use of a graphics library that is way bigger than 500 lines. Regardless thank you for sharing but I get the feeling it was good fun.

Very well. Grunt work is very appreciated and it not only allows you to start working without pressure it endears you to the other senior engineers as a can-do person. As they will feel grateful and released from the grunt work they might e

> Fair argument but I don’t see why training should inherently be unpaid. Because the lack of payment is the trainee's quid-pro-quo. It makes the trainee a counterpart in the training investment. In several countries in Europe to va

No, the economy will just become uncompetitive for engineering companies and produce more coffee-shop workers. Given Portugal's economic dependence on tourism is perhaps by design.

I specifically mentioned training because I knew this answer would come, and like clockwork it did. Training takes time, and often unpaid. A coffee shop worker will immediately get rewarded while the engineer will not. If they will be equal

Of course not exactly but if most of the people earn the same minimum, then the average will be close to minimum. There is no cap on max, but with few they do not make a difference.

From my point of view trams have no advantages over buses. On the other hand they need lots of special purpose infrastructure and often condition road traffic rules terribly, like forcing traffic lights instead of roundabouts. Actually I am

In philosophy Kant would disagree with you with his Categorical Imperative[1]. Rawls also went that way, with the veil of ignorance[2]. The lack of state or context is not only desirable but is the whole foundation on why their theories ar

If i recall correctly you can pass through USB ports if needed. Also given that serial/parallel ports are very simple you can often just write a driver or use the super powerful socat to massage things if needed. I once used socat to s

Would something like the Linux kernel randstruct plugin, make this kind of escalation code more complicated? Suspend your disbelief and assume that every windows user compiled his own Windows kernel on installation :).
