Maybe Orion, if you trust Kagi enough? https://kagi.com/orion/ It's webkit-based, and you can pay for it ($150 for a lifetime license).

Their weird org structure is their own fault. Millions of dollars squandered on things most people simply do not care about, while neglecting Firefox for a decade. When Firefox/Firebird/Phoenix first came out, the org structure wa

TLDR Firefox has been selling your data all along in exchange for ad money, but now state laws with more teeth forced them to come clean about this behavior.

Isn't that Blink/Chromium though? Just worried they'll eventually be affected by the Manifestv2 deprecation too.

Why does a continent, not a country, even have a flag? Who "uses" it?

What's a good Webkit browser to switch to that supports ad blocking? Don't want to use Firefox, too many rendering bugs and performance issues we've run into.

How much time and/or money do you want to spend on this project? Depending on how complicated the website you bought was (i.e. whether it's just a simple informational site, or some complicated interactive app) it can take anywher

Bezos paid his bribe at the inauguration. If that wasn't enough, he'd probably just donate more rather than risk tariffs.

Lines of code is just an example (as are your other metrics). But the thing is that metrics without context drive poor decisions. And lazy managers will often rely on metrics as a poor proxy for actual performance when they don't have

Sounds dystopian. Some of the biggest contributions might take days of investigative work and result in one single line of committed code once the issue is found... it's not a good proxy for team contribution. If my team started using

As long as we have hierarchical social systems, there'll always be people happy to step on the 90% if that means they can be part of the 10%. And many tech workers do fall into that bucket :/ As a group, we're not exactly kno

Fun story, thanks for sharing! Seems pretty inevitable... the Elon Musks of the world would love this. Luxury living for the 1%, fully automated indentured servitude for the rest of us. But at least we'll have nice text to speech in th

Ah, thanks for the clarification! TIL. Option-dash is an en-dash (\u2013) Shift-option-dash will render the em-dash (\u2014), (as will --, if it gets autocorrected). https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/em-dash-en-da

If it's a simple drop in improvement, I wonder why it's not enabled by default? Seems like some things become faster while other things become slower? https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-1284/Increa

If you use uBlock with the annoyances filters enabled, the majority of those go away. I very rarely see them.

I mean... ok, maybe not literally nobody, but LibreOffice has 50x the contributors (1314 vs 26) and 60x the commits (500k vs 8k). Apache OpenOffice's last major version was more than a decade ago. It may not be dead-dead, but it&#x27

Wow, I thought OpenOffice was new software written as an alternative to Microsoft Office. Actually the history goes back way further. If anyone's curious: - First release of StarOffice was 1985. It was a closed source commercial word p

Can you not use IntelliJ IDEA (the Java one) with the Python and Go plugins?

by solardev 2y ago
It's helpful for mentoring or pair programming with another person. They can more clearly see the code as you change it, like Google Docs, rather than just watching a screenshare.

I mean, I did start the post with an "I think"... it's pretty clearly an opinion, no? I also don't think that's some obscure hypothesis on my part. It was just the zeitgeist at the time Fleet first came out ( https:

I think Fleet's their hopeful answer to VSCode. IntelliJ is powerful, but so, so messy, with a convoluted UI from the 90s/2000s. Even the simplified one is much klunklier than VSCode, especially for everyday/every-hour tasks
