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.

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.

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.

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.

We have an LG tumble dryer. By far the best dryer we’ve owned.

Came in support of Apollo; I just couldn’t in good conscience continue to support Reddit (even after 19 years) with how they treated external clients.

Found it similar to Reddit so it scratched the same itch.

It’s been the answer in international trade for the last 1000 years.

I don’t think I’ve explained my point very well, or you’ve misunderstood what I’ve said.

My point is all international relationship is tit for tat. Since China chose to block western social media, it’s not unreasonable for the west to block Chinese social media.

The way I read about it they were merely talking about out gamma correction. Or HDR—>SDR mapping - I wouldn’t say the article is super clear.

No. I’m implying that in general, international trade works by shared openness or shared closeness. If one country or economic region puts an import tax on something, the reciprocal thing is likely to be taxed by the opposite partner.

I was responding to someone saying “oh this just creates a monopoly for Zucks” when in fact the Chinese social companies have a monopoly in China (an ENORMOUS market) because our products are blocked over there.

So what we are doing is in line with the norm in international trade.

You are aware that no western social media is allowed in China, are you not?
