Thanks for getting back to me on this, I appreciate it.

Thanks for sharing this list, those sound like healthy activities.
Could you share how you're doing those online signing lessons? Is there a specific website, or did you find a personal teacher and get lessons via zoom/Skype? I'd be very interested in hearing about that.

Author here. I know I posted this a week ago, but I've since added more functionality (e.g. the ability to compare countries from the date when the disease reached 100 cases in each country) that should make it more useful, so I hope this is okay. I truly believe this could be a helpful resource for some people (on the Johns-Hopkins dashboard, Worldometers and lots of other sites you cannot easily select and compare countries). I also put some work into making this mobile-friendly. A friend of mine who runs clinical studies said "This is better than every other solution/dashboard out there!", and I'm glad if it helps more people to understand the infection numbers in different countries.
Feel free to provide feedback and improvement suggestions, I plan to add more functionality in the upcoming days.

Shoutout to Ben, py-spy is an amazing profiler. I believe cProfile has certain limitations and doesn't fully understand deep call stacks. py-spy does not have that limitation. It also offers multiple output formats (especially flamegraph and speedscope format, https://www.speedscope.app/) which make it so much nicer to identify bottlenecks.
At our company, py-spy has helped us a lot for our line-of-business application. I'm not affiliated with Ben in any way, but he deserves some praise for his work on py-spy.

I've tried out the Foxy Gestures add-on in the meantime. It turns out it has rocker gestures (called 'chord gestures' in the 'Other Gestures' setup tab) and besides the drawback you mentioned (doesn't work in system tabs) it works well so far.

Firefox used to have the amazing "Mouse Gestures Suite" add-on, which provides scroll-wheel-in-tabs and rocker navigation. Unfortunately with the new Firefox (since v57) it doesn't work anymore, since it uses the old extension approach.
There seems to be a new add-on for the web extension approach (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxy-gestures...), but I haven't tested it yet and am not sure how robust it is at this point.

I've just finished reading https://code.facebook.com/posts/1716776591680069/react-16-a-... and it provided lots of good insights into how you managed to roll out the new release. Thanks for the interesting write-up!
That blog post mentions your featureFlag approach, the initial dogfooding and then the gradual rollout. I'd be very interested to hear on top of that:
1. How did you approach the rewrite on the coding side? What I mean is: Did you just say "Okay, let's start from scratch and use the lessons learned from v1?" Or did you use a specific approach along along the lines of: "Let's structure our code based on these principles and ...?"
2. When you started the rewrite, how did you know in advance and make sure that the rewrite would be faster and have a smaller code-size?
3. Was your focus during the rewrite on a cleaner code base (and the performance improvements followed automatically) or was your focus on speed right from the start?
4. Any other lessons learned during the rewrite? Patterns and approaches that helped/didn't help during the coding?
