I like ads, but detest cookie banners.

Good ads can teach you a lesson about copywriting or storytelling, cookie banners are pure time wasters.

PHP + jQuery/Vue/Alpine + SQLite

Yes, I don't know anyone who uses Guice, but lots of people who use Spring. The momentum was never there, nor it will be.

This trend will benefit big companies and harm small local companies.

Hiring abroad is not as easy as you might think, usually you need to establish legal presence in the other country and other requirements. And who has resources to do that? Bingo, big companies. Small local companies will be left unable to compete, as they will be forced to hire locally, at higher expense.

Extensions will still be able to read all the requests, just not block them, so Google's argument for privacy is moot.

Given that one of the biggest performance hogs are the ads and tracking scripts on a page, the argument for performance seems sketchy too.

I don't use adblockers myself, as I actually like seeing ads, but Google's arguments are very weak here.

I have a physical ESC key, so I don't have a problem with the touchbar.

I love the TouchBar!

Sorry, I'm not an expert. What am I supposed to do with the emulator-symbols.zip?

I need to add

hw.audioInput=no hw.audioOutput=no

to every AVD I create. Otherwise, the Android Emulator uses 100% CPU all the time, even when it's been idle for minutes.

I'm far from the only one having the problem, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37063267/high-cpu-usage-...

I'm on a Macbook Air 2014, Intel i5, 8GB of RAM, 500GB SSD. Hardware acceleration, etc. all enabled.

US salaries are really high. For context, in Southern Europe, most developers don't even earn $3000/month BEFORE taxes and expenses.

I live in Spain and have never heard of any salaried employee that makes $9600 per month. Not even those with 10+ years of experience.

Get some quality sleep. Seriously. I thought I was mentally lazy, it turns out I was just exhausted from chronic sleep deprivation.

WeChat is a not a chat app. It's a micro universe. Imagine WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Paypal, Uber, etc. and an entire app platform all integrated into a single app. That's WeChat.

First result on Google now. Well done!

Lockless channels when?

A single set of extensions and bookmarks.

With Chrome, even if you manually sync your profiles and keep the same set of extensions installed in both profiles, it runs 2 processes of the same extension. Even when the second profile window is closed.

But for me the deal breaker was managing a separate set of bookmarks.

Safari is the best choice if you care about battery life. I literally get 2 extra hours of battery life when using Safari on macOS vs using Chrome.

What's incredible is that Chrome uses more CPU on Youtube than Safari. When playing the SAME video side by side.

The ability to use multiple accounts of Gmail, Trello, Bitbucket, whatever service you use in a single window. I happen to use the same services for work and for private purposes and it's inconvenient having to log in and log out all the time.

You can sorta do the same in Chrome by creating a full separate profile and opening an extra window, but then your passwords and bookmarks are separated as well. It's a pain in the ass.

If you are in Europe, go with Hetzner.
