That may be, but mozilla.org isn't exactly a brand like google.com. Most people have never heard of it. If you're trying to get non-technical people to try an underdog browser, simplicity helps. A single, straightforward brand nam

Finally! No more "You know, you should really get Firefox, it's super easy. First you need to go to this other website though. Yes, I know, I know. Just trust me, okay?"

I agree. That ship has sailed, at least for the foreseeable future. We switched to Valkey and it's our choice for a couple upcoming projects as well. To switch back now after this whole ordeal would make no sense at all.

In other words, the AI does exactly as instructed, including resorting to deception, to self-preserve, so it can carry out its assigned task. It quite literally does what it was told to do. Lacking a foundational ethical core, lying is ac

Color has a measurable effect on humans. There's an extensive body of research on the psychological effects of color; every designer worth their salt knows this. The fields of branding and marketing use color purposefully every day as

I wouldn't be so sure. Prigozhin founded the Internet Research Agency (Russian troll farm) for Putin back in 2013. He's the go-to guy for disinformation.

I use gitolite as well, it's great. Currently working on integrating it into a CI/CD pipeline, which admittedly proves to be a slight challenge, but I'm sure I'll get there eventually.

I don't think you can infer that a person answers a 10-minute anonymous online quiz more honestly because they refuse to take a hint out of principle. It would be a stretch to consider the hints cheating; they are an integral part of t

Just because something is the current status quo in your country doesn't mean you can't have a different opinion. I think the question is perfectly valid no matter where you live. The irony is, faulting the question because "

To me, that sounds like a play on the hype train, which can work out very well if you know what you're doing. I think you need to be on your toes for this kind of gamble though, since hypes are usually short-term by definition. I do ag
