Re:Firefox 95 Released on Tuesday December 07, 2021 @07:05PM (#29479825)
I'm still rooting for Firefox but the only thing stopping me from switching to it as my daily browser is that it can't do multi-language spellcheck [0]. Chromium-based browsers have been supporting this for years now.

If you're still having delivery issues in any of your private conversations try "reset secure session" from the chat menu. It worked for me with a couple of my contacts.
Re:Amazon disallows pointing out paid reviews on Thursday December 17, 2020 @04:35PM (#25460770)
I had a very similar experience last month. I ordered this toaster[1]. When I received it I noticed that in their user manual they were offering a "gift" in return for an Amazon review. Although to be fair they didn't explicitly demand that the review had to be positive. I submitted this 4-star review [2] to Amazon:

I received the toaster not too long ago. It looks just like in the advertised pictures and works fine. But the language on the last page of the user manual (see picture) makes it clear that LOFTER is offering customers a "gift" in return for leaving a review. Perhaps they're within their right to do that but it makes me not trust the rest of the reviews on this product.

A few days later I got an email from Amazon identical to the one in the submitted blog post[3]. I've stopped trusting positive reviews on Amazon. These days I only look at the negative reviews to see if there's a consistent complaint about the product.

That's 16GB of DRAM. Caches are SRAM, which has a very different set of design tradeoffs. SRAM cells use more transistors so they can't be packed as tightly as DRAM.
Re:Guide to Notion Landing Pages on Tuesday October 27, 2020 @12:11PM (#24908816)
For a basic company wiki Nuclino is another option. It doesn't have all the features Notion does, but I loved the incredibly fast page loads and search. Notion feels pretty sluggish by comparison.
Me too. I've seen it happen on more than a couple of occasions while visiting Trello.com and YouTube.com. Firefox isn't my primary browser, partly for this reason.

MBP 2013 with integrated graphics, running Mojave and the latest stable public release of Firefox. I haven't messed with about:config.

Re:Rust 1.37.0 on Friday August 16, 2019 @09:26PM (#20721317)
Python is over 20 years old and got async/await only 4 years ago. I think most people would still consider Python a fairly stable language.

You can rank by upvotes and use karma as the tiebreaker.
csvlook [0] is another great tool that does this for any CSV file. It's part of the very useful csvkit[1] suite of command line utilities for working with CSV files.
