Unfortunately the work I’ve been involved in is all in a commercial setting and I don’t think it would behoove me to talk too much about it. One was a major replatforming of an enormous, global education platform. That succeeded but took 6 years, not 3. I’ve gone through major engine changes in various game studios; one of which was built from scratch, one which was kept up to date and had original GameCube code in it by the time we gave up on it and I’m in the middle of one right now, building a new platform for another education platform and refactoring a large VR platform. I wish I could detect a pattern of success - the only association I can find is with “patience”.

Do you have a source for this claim? I’d like to repeat it elsewhere…

FWIW, I switched to Linux due to the amazing container support and haven’t looked back in terms of running software. The easy set up, tear down, and common monitoring makes it far more convenient to host stuff on Linux.

Run 19 but barely get over 5% usage even when transcoding 4K movies where the copyright has expired.

Once the logistics train runs dry, everyone stops.

Russia wouldn’t stand a chance against NATO. They would have a much easier time, but still get whooped if NATO didn’t have the US onboard.

But they’d still do a hell of a lot of damage and likely China would take the chance to go at Taiwan. The risk of nuclear exchange would be enormous.

It will be much cheaper to be strong enough that Russia daren’t.

How long is a piece of string?

Rebuilding always takes a lot longer than you think. Refactoring always takes a lot longer than you think. I’ve been involved in failures and successes doing either.

Being a profiteering asshole?

A narrowed focus is exactly what Mozilla needs.

Develop a browser and participate in web standards. That’s literally all they need and should do.

They can. But maintaining a modern browser engine is a MAJOR piece of work especially when there’s already another open source browser (Chromium) that is sucking in maintainers.

Firefox is dying. I’ve been a loyal user since Phoenix days but there is just no road forward. Many websites now don’t test for it. It’s in a slow death spiral. Such a shame.

FWIW, it’s actually more the publishers’ fault. Typically as a developer you get told what environment you’re targeting and how the publisher wishes to publish you.

Congrats, even this you managed to turn into a class struggle.

And no more than 3 people (the hard core community long timers) can have a conversation at the same time because heaven forbid we use threads.

Just wait; in 2 weeks the extension to break this will be in both chrome and Firefox store.

How dare you come here with your happiness, social safety net and psychological safety, you dirty European. What is the GDP per capita of a European?! Can’t you see they’re having a much worse life than we Americans are?!

Not all people watch movies. Some people had four kids and are lucky to have 5 minutes to themselves while they shower.

Much hustle. Wow.

It’s interesting that 30 minutes work for you.

I find 15-20 minutes work wonders. If I’m gone for longer, my body goes into deeper sleep and I feel like a zombie getting up.

But the people who voted for it must have had some kind of idea of what it is that they wanted?

But even if you took a capitalist angle towards it and said “I want to maximise profits” why not stay next to half a billion people whose markets you can access?

I just cannot fathom it.

Was it really the brexiteers’ dream to give up access to the EU market (at the cost of EU goods being sold tariff free in the UK) only to get access to the US market, notoriously price driven and notoriously industrially farmed, at the cost of letting their shitty food into the UK?

Was that the ambition?! Is this what the brexiteers wanted?

Because this sure as shit makes zero sense to me. Even if I had been a brexiteer the old deal sounds markedly better.
