Based on the abstract, this has to do mostly with diversity within a language, but the impact on the diversity of languages and their health is even larger. My direct experience is with Catalan. The uphill battle of Catalans to get _anythin

I left Firefox for the first time since... well, I _think_ I used it before it was Firefox. This self-imposed exile only lasted a couple months. I left looking for low-friction answers to my need to organize tabs and content. I didn't

I see where this sort of take comes from. Reviews are not a place for subjective comments that just slow down or block progress, signaling, excessive nitpicking, etc. However, the reviewer should be thinking beyond the immediate "hey,

If the targets are in other countries, deployed by other countries, I don't think this is a good example.

It is akin in that the same sort of mistaken political intrusion into linguistics was being made.

Great project. Clear goal, well executed, very nice API (safe, terse, clear). I use Effect CLI https://github.com/Effect-TS/effect/tree/main/packages/cli for the same reasons. It has the advantage o

The other laptops overheat soon after purchasing, often with just the bare OS running. There is a 3 yo laptop that my parents still use, but it has to always be plugged in, and the fans will spin loudly even in suspension. My >10 yo macb

In my experience and my family's you are lucky if they last 3 years. If they last 5 years there's usually a subpar experience, e.g. they overheat significantly at 2 years. OTOH, we have a few macbooks > 10 years still working.

I like Ecto's approach in Elixir. Bring SQL to the language to handle security, and then build opt-in solutions to real problems in app-land like schema structs and changesets. Underneath, everything is simple (e.g. queries are structs

Vertical tabs and tab groups (I suspect it can't be that different from folders but I could be wrong) are available in Firefox.

- article schema - page schema - non-technical users can author & upload And the browser takes care of the rendering. Good times.

Indeed. Catalan speakers have Spanish forced down their throat no matter if Spanish has never been associated to the Google account in any way, nor in the system or browser language preferences. In my case, I live in the United States, but

Now the website asks if you like emojis or not. I don't mind the emojis, but if I did, I think I'd prefer them to the popup.

Remembering bugs is not necessarily and indicator for passion. I know I love what I do, and have since I was really young, but I do not keep track of bugs or even feats—they just become a rolling base of knowledge (experience). At least in

This is so different from what comes to mind when I think about how to improve productivity: - require engineers to present and justify engineering investments (and understand that what you don't accept has real costs) - have engineers

I agree. Our kids are very much ahead, in part because when we travel, they learn a lot. They seen new places, new ways of doing things, learn history, apply their math and other acquired knowledge, they often learn things ahead of time jus

I see how I was too vague. I decided to post without elaborating because I thought the concerns were obvious from previous HN discussions about Mozilla announcements of different sorts, and because I was running out of time, which probably

I've found that keeping a changelog as part of my design docs and similar is a good way to keep engineers, even across teams, confident that what they are looking at is up to date and a good reference, and the right document to update

In Spain, people usually have one or two names, then two last (family) names. No hyphens. In Catalonia, the two family names are sometimes "anded". Example: Miquel Martí i Pol.
