While I agree that that's a mid-sized EV battery, that would be a large battery for a house. E.g a Powerwall 3 is only 13.5 kWh.

That's the third reason given in the article (hemorrhoids == piles).

Roughly:

British "quite" means somewhat.

American "quite" means very.

A Brit saying a suggestion is "quite good" is actually saying it's not good enough, whereas a US listener will think they've been told the opposite.

Last year Wikipedia reported an 8% drop in humans traffic[1]. That's huge.

I have no idea why you think it's written by AI, unless you think that correct use of quote and dash characters means it must be AI.

Jeeves (the gentleman's personal gentleman) is a valet that would be pronounced VAL-et.

CRUD = Create, Read, Update, Delete

Plenty of business apps don't really ask for much more than that, and those are the CRUD apps. They're not particularly challenging to write, nor is it very interesting to do so.

I play badminton, which has games that are about ten minutes long. I've noticed an uptick in the number of times I've had to stop and wait for someone I'm playing with to read a message on their smartwatch. I'm terminally online, but I can disconnect long enough for a game or a film - I seem to be increasingly in the minority.

Well, unless you're using threads.

Or did I miss the sarcasm?

For better or worse, describing software this way is fairly standard usage - e.g. robots.txt.

That’s quite useful in the example given (passing errors back to clients), but I wonder if sometimes these others errors are artifacts from the first error - it would be more annoying to have these false negatives (and wasting time understanding that that’s what they are) than having to retry.

That user might be the one from that old XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1172/

As your screenshot says, you've enabled HTTPS-Only Mode - that's not the default, though, so most(?) Firefox users don't see that.

I read the release notes, and I still didn't see where this was mentioned.

This feature does seem like it's designed to help defend against bad plugins, but in other hands it could be a source of worry.

There are different kinds of colourblindness. Deuteranopes are likely to confuse greens with yellows, which are consecutive here.

I'm not OP but there is him talking on his blog about cookies:

He doesn't come across as overly prescient there, but there's definitely some of the familiar juggling trade-offs in his design decisions.

> Firefox Containers are awful

Do you have any sources or reasons for this condemnation?

I wonder how up-to-date that warning is, given that the feature was introduced in TB 38 and we're now on TB 60.

Edit: there's still 35 bugs tagged maildir (albeit all unconfirmed or new): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?classification=Clie...

Well done to the author for planting the word "hegemony" in there.
