I didn't flag, but what does this have to do with tech/start-up culture? If you want to read/discuss American politics, surely theres better places to do that.
US government is being run like a shady tech company with no rules and massive layoffs by a guy who a made a few tech companies and is a CEO or whatever of a few of them right now.
I see this argument a lot. I use Firefox on my Mac, iPhone and my Windows work PC. I can’t remember the last time there was a website that was broken because of Firefox.
Do you happen to have any examples? I’m curious to see how broken/what the issues are.
Not who you are replying to, but before I switched to Vivaldi (a Chromium fork), I saw lots.
Among them: Logging into some of my financial accounts doesn't work on Firefox. Enterprise software and gear like VMware and management UIs of various devices on the network. (They foolishly hard-coded their devices to reject any UserAgent strings that weren't Chrome, IE, or Edge.) Sites that use some kind of poorly-implemented tracking/fingerprinting to make sure you're a human. (I would routinely get stuck in infinite CAPCHA loops even on normal sites.) For a while, Slack video/audio calls did not work on Firefox because Slack chose to use codecs that FF didn't support. Video calls on FF are still hit-and-miss on various platforms, ran into it on Facebook just the other day.
These are all just off the top of my head, of course. There are plenty more that I've forgotten.
I don't use Firefox currently but I did for a couple years recently. For a while Teams was blocked and/or broken in Firefox due to calling features Firefox didn't have at the time.
A few sites would silently break, e.g. restaurant online order pages, but work in Chrome. Never really looked into why, it was just annoying and intermittent (might work one month but not the next).
YouTube occasionally had some issues. For a while it was on an old version of Polymer that used Shadow DOM V0 (experimental) instead of V1.
A good list is here https://webcompat.com/issues?page=1&per_page=100&state=open&... keep in mind some of these are "is extremely slow in Firefox". Sometimes that's just that Firefox didn't have the same set of optimizations (not necessarily even fewer optimizations, just not ones built against) and other times that's deeper seated like the Shaw DOM V0 example where the fallback for the page was to use some older.
> Well, this website looks like it was designed by someone who learned HTML and CSS yesterday. The floating gradients look like an early 2000's PowerPoint background, and your choice of fonts is more schizophrenic than a cat on catnip. It's as if someone threw up random UI elements and called it an interface. Seriously, who thought that mild, medium, and spicy roast levels were a good idea? It’s a roast, not a taco shop. Even the “See code on Github” button looks like it's desperately trying to escape this hot mess. And the color palette? It's like you asked a five-year-old to pick their favorite colors, then proceeded to spill coffee all over it. The input fields and wait time for your roast are just an added insult to what already feels like digital purgatory. This isn't a roast; it's a cry for a complete overhaul.
Explain your reasoning for this. I work in the office, but the vast (98%) of my meetings are on teams or zoom. When you work in a company with multiple locations (and in different countries) working in our assigned office isn’t going to help at all.
Obviously the article leave a lot of the science out, but this sounds like it’d be an easy thing to test for (which they’ve now done). Why wouldn’t this have been done years ago - I’m not trying g to say they should have done it earlier, as I genuinely don’t know. Is the tech to check this new? How much other science has been based off of this theory in the meantime?
Did they test it succesfully? Did they make some blunder? Did they misrepresented the importance of their results? Will it replicate? Does it apply to humans?
I wouldn't be bothered with putting much faith on any of the papers coming out, unless I was a researcher in that space. The dust is far from settled.
Oh me neither, I’m less interested in the results and more that (to someone who has no idea behind the science - me), I’m surprised to hear it’s just now only being tested when I’ve heard this was the main theory of sleep for years.
I like the idea, but the fact I have to create an account and upload a profile picture immediately put me off. I created one with fake data and a random image, once in the app it appears to just exist to hover up personal data. Then you have to create and link a partners account to get more than 5 or so ideas…
I’d honestly rather pay a small one off fee for this same app, without the need for an account.
Agreed, I’ve been to two formula e races in past years, and have tickets to another two this year. I’ve been to Formula 1 which was definitely something, but still enjoy FE for the racing.
