Well put, really catches the uneasy sentiment I feel reading consumerism threads like this. It seems large enterprises conveniently downplay the Reduce and Reuse tenets of the 3R reduce, reuse, recycle mantra. All this vanity and waste at s

FWIW pull down refresh is a feature in Firefox nightly, not sure what is taking so long getting it in to regular FF.

Doesn't it all boil down to memorization vs. application? It seems, with copilot it's mixed. Sometimes it regurgitates blocks of existing code, other times it can apply context and patterns to create boilerplate code.

Forgive me, but can you expand a bit on this? I am completely uninformed in this area and like to have a holistic view when endeavoring to learn anything new.

Debating > Deplatforming Aside from being an endless game of whack-a-mole, I feel the race to deplatform undermines ideological diveristy and other key civic values. Has there been any reduction in the number of misthinkers? Anecdotally,

> Eckersley died of cancer on September 2, 2022... The closer I get to 40, the more anxious I grow after reading stories like this. Guess I can just let it motivate me to appreciate those in my life and push me towards achieving goals.

I have found being as direct as possible and removing duplicate or superfluous words works best. Perhaps this rewrite may yield better results: "King of Belgium gives a speech to an audience of cucumbers"

Skills before pills, I agree with you fully. However, cynics would retort: "yeah sure, walk and exercise more, thanks I'm cured" And I think there is something to that in the sense that when you are in that hole, when just p

You have to meet your meds half way -- meaning you must do the work i.e. sleep hygiene, physical activity, diet, challenging negative thinking patterns, etc... This was all made very clear to me when I began addressing my mental health abou

Augmenting jobs is more likely, from what I have heard. It would be useful for rapid prototyping of artwork and could help designers get design specs to artists quicker. The initial impressions are that production ready designs will requir

I agree wholeheartedly the Russian government's invasion is reprehensible. It would logically follow that the implicit "consent of the governed", and close ties with domestic companies merits extending this anger to Russian b

See: International comity [1] (more like comedy, as my law school professor joked) My guess is that since this is a NZ company, that country's laws should apply, but Glassdoor being a US entity necessitates a US court applying (or enfo

It's difficult to graph the ideologies, which are rooted in each countries culture and history, on to another's. Voter ID is a non controversial issue in many countries. In the US I've seen arguments against it from both side

A more apt description for the Democratic party would be corporatist. The primary constituency of both parties is corporate America, whom they rely on for donations.

Investors, presumably, would slowly and strategically sell off assets in their portfolio to minimize their losses. I had a front row seat to this in 2010, during my stint as a creditor's rights attorney. It was this odd tango of homeow

The group of truly indie studios is dwindling unfortunately. Tencent and Microsoft have both spread a lot of money around. Perhaps for varying reasons, namely MS needs to make up for the lack of titles developed for the Xbox Series, and add
