>weird hierarchical "junior/senior" dichotomy

Will this ever end?

I used to think this, but sveltes templating language is trivial and keeps the problem space manageable for its maintainers.

Firefox is not as performant as Chrome is. This is something a web developer will have come across, if not an average user.

Oftentimes, people will say correlation does not imply causation, and this is mathematically true (imply means something different in regular parlance, and correlation can very well imply causation in that usage).

That being said, this is probably a case of putting the cart before the horse.

To be fair, young and healthy and Covid 19 vaccine tread the waters of “reasonableness” when combined.

The risk profiles in either direction are so small it’s very hard to discern a meaningful pattern. It probably just doesn’t matter at all what you do.

That claim you’ve just made is completely inconsistent with evidence showing much higher side-effect rates for mRNA over traditional formulations.

Moderna has something like an 80% incidence of fever after the second shot. That incidence of side-effect is unheard of, but in the opposite direction you claimed.

Now, this isn’t dangerous, of course.

That’s a huge difference. Do you have a citation for this claim? I don’t doubt you, but, wow.

Building a non-trivial website in React with halfway decent design practices is 100000x easier than doing so in raw html/css/jQuery (for argument, the vanilla API back in the day was impossible to use).

That’s interesting. I’m guessing console.log appends to the window object somewhere, which is a fairly common method of image preloading.

Your body and mind are one.

It is scientifically inaccurate to believe otherwise.

This isn’t a pedantic point: the mind/body distinction is pseudoscience that used to be believed widely in scientific circles. This readjustment hasn’t really reached common practice yet.

This brings up a fascinating point that spins off into another, entirely complex discussion: does Mozilla pay enough for a great (not good) CEO?

Firefox has, since incipience, faced that challenge.

Anyhow, the point I’m making is that I don’t agree that it is impossible to compete with trenched competition.

Firefox has some prior momentum themselves, they’re not quite an upstart.

Was the last CEO let go for performance reasons?

This would be a decent point if nobody had any interest in chromium alternatives and Firefox was a new upstart brand, neither of which are true.

Usually, when a CEO heads an explicitly sinking ship, the CEO will be removed and someone will be brought in to turn around the company.

No idea why that hasn’t happened.

Unpopular opinion: Firefox is allowing itself to be phased out, and contributing to a less free internet, with their business moves. It was hugely upsetting when they axed their dev team mid-pandemic.
