I wonder, if these problems aren't Ubuntu fault, since it forces snap version of Firefox on you. I had Firefox crashing repeatedly on me with the snap version. Maybe switching to Firefox apt repo would help? (I tried the repo, but befo

I wish. If you live in any country that uses more than ASCII, then certainly not since forever. I mean, just for my language there were 7 different encodings (according to Wikipedia, possibly more) before Unicode era. When you want to read

The satellite orbited at 320 km. At that altitude the atmosphere drag is non-negligible, so it had to burn fuel to stay there. So the life was limited by how much fuel it had and that is limited by launch vehicle capabilities. If the launch

My usual strategy is to ensure that the lengthy parts are executed only once. So for example one of the lengthy parts is environment setup for me too. So what I did is to put as much as possible on the docker image I build and then I start

The issue as I see it is, that they put the people, who have to rescue them in unnecessary danger as well as potentially drawing them from other places they might be needed at. There are other ways to grow, that don't put others in dan
