Satisfaction at 45% is the highest it's been since 2017. It's only lower on the chart because of all the new and shiny (and unused!) frameworks created later.

> I know how dumb customers can be

I find this insulting as a customer. Is AWS usually contemptuous of its customers?

I don't think I've ever called my customer "dumb", and working as a consultant I've seen all kinds of interesting things.

People make mistakes. They're always in a hurry. They may have a hard time understanding ambiguous, complex or incomplete documentation. The interface may be confusing and lead them to bad solutions. Come on, support is there to help.

Take it easy, shall we?

Today most of the stuff you bring home from the market was either made with slave work, or with machine work. The latter is not unlikely to have even worse impact on human lives on a great scale.

Actually, they have. If you follow the link on OP, you'll see 93 selected issues, not the 941 noisy ones you linked.

They're actually putting some effort into this as well. Not just creating a place for a ton of random junk, pat on the back, "good luck, go figure".

EDIT: Your filter is just "label:mozsprint" across all of GitHub. That's pretty likely to include noise that Mozilla cannot do anything about.

The explanation is that you need to balance out centrifugal force F=mv^2/r.

"Sharp turn" has smaller radius, therefore much larger the force. By turning in the opposite direction first, you're making the turn much less sharp, increasing the radius and thus reducing the force.

This. If it's becoming unusable on my pretty beefy i7/16GB (Ubuntu), how does it work for the average Joe?

It is a showstopper. I don't care about new features if it can't handle basic stability.

I've always loved Firefox. Had to switch to Chrome for stability and resource consumption, but I did not enjoy being all Google and I did miss numerous awesome features of Firefox. The awesomebar and dev tools to just name a few.

Went back to Firefox Quantum for a few months. Now I'm back on Chrome for exactly the same reasons. After hours of active use, Firefox is eating a ton of RAM and consuming way too much CPU, while also struggling to open any pages (let alone more complex apps) or downright crashing the apps that were already running.

Plus, it does not seem to support web calls at all (Google Meet, BlueJeans, GoToMeeting you name it).

I hate being on Chrome again, and I miss those Firefox features. But I have work to do, and I just can't have my tools grind to a halt all the time.

Those "6 extra chars" mean more noise for human on the screen, it can lead to line wrapping or in other way harm the formatting, and last but not least it does not make it easier to promote good coding practices.

The problem is that "val" or "const" is not.

Sad as it may be, it's just such an obvious rookie mistake.

Just don't quit your job unless you have enough savings and good grasp on your finances.

It's so much easier to make things than to sell them, even more so from an unknown underdog on a crowded market.

Here's a great article on social media and continuous distraction, looking at these issues from a number of angles. I can't recommend this piece enough.

"There is growing concern that as well as addicting users, technology is contributing toward so-called “continuous partial attention”, severely limiting people’s ability to focus, and possibly lowering IQ."

The problem is not so much about Catalonia and Spain. There are plenty of such regions and ethnic groups in pretty much every country on the continent. If the ball starts rolling, it can mean going back a few centuries.

Other news are more clear about his actual involvement, e.g. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20171013005008/en/Appl..., http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-cofounder-steve-wozniak....

Perhaps the point of all this was not watering the plant, but the engineering itself? Looks like a very fun and inspiring thing to do, I'd love to do some of that one day just to learn the electronics.
