You do understand that means half of all American households make less than 78k? If your reasoning is based on the upper half of wealthiest Americans, it ignores virtually all the most vulnerable. Income distribution: https://www

Although payload can be indicative of page load speed, there are many good reasons Lighthouse scores are more complex than that. Specifically, at the start of this thread the criticism was that the js work in modern web apps is slow. I hav

It will entrench established search engines even more if they have to move to auth-based crawling, so that the only crawlers will be those you invite. Most people will do this for google, bing, and maybe one or two others if there is a simp

It is basically pseudo-code, and should have the same copyright as other code if it is sufficiently complex to pass the typical test for copyright. One might think code should not have copyright, but that is a different conversation.

Doesn't that feel like theft though? The drive should be advertised as its fully useful capacity, with x Gb of overage - like turbo in a car or on my electric blower. I know I can't use it all the time, but it's there in a pi

Grocery stores are experts at sales tactics throughout the store. All that fruit does not look so beautiful in the field, and virtually every store is trying to develop their 'ethos' to capture the customers with enough money to b

I was mainly saying I don't understand why you were indicating we should presume or expect they would average out in an N=1 experiment. Even in much larger experiments that is not reliably the case. Science would be relatively easy if

He has 94 data points. Not nearly enough to average out so many potentially confounding variables, and there is no way to know they would. That will be the case in almost all N=1 experiments. Perhaps he takes the pill at the onset of stress

Yes, that is a good point. But it also causes him to continuously think about indicators to determine what he has taken. He is constantly trying to punch the veil on this "blind" study instead of doing everything he can to avoid t

I have done something similar before, to help form an index for a large book. This is what I would consider a relatively simple regex. The harder ones I have dealt with are those looking for malformed syntax where the closing mark that migh

Regex is one of my favorite things to work with. It's surgery. I love having a very specific problem and a very sharp knife. What I hate is chasing down language or library bugs, or undocumented limitations. Of course I would hate it i

I am definitely grumpy. What makes me grumpy is the fact that society keeps banging its head against a wall for no good reason. There is everything there for growth, and yet I see none. I get very tired of knowing well what the boring, self

That is why volunteering when you are in retirement is a win-win. Very few others have the time for what is an absolutely necessary part of society, and it is great to keep your mind and heart active while you recall your life and use its l

So I did the same thing of installing Waterfox and copying the profile over. In Waterfox, the telemetry remains disabled and cannot be activated even if you want to - the use of an existing FF profile does not enable them. I verified this b

FF has ublock origin, so already end of story there. But it also does a better job of allowing me to request desktop site and actually get it, and thus around some website bugs.

I felt that way until the last week. But I feel better using another project that mainly or only exists to strip dubious FF behavior from their code. I installed Waterfox, copied my FF profile folder, pointed Waterfox at the copy, and it ha
