Mac re-design sure looks like a 3rd party Firefox theme from 2014. I know it's subjective, so that's my personal opinion.
But is it in line with Material design? Or is Chrome not subject to these guidelines?
If you open settings, or downloads window in Chrome, you'll see it has blue bars, rounded edges, shadows.
Compare to this re-design, large radius rounded edges, entirely flat looking buttons and inputs.
I honestly though for a second I opened Firefox accidentally with another theme pre-installed.

You are talking about enabling insider preview which takes around a day to kick in and offer you the update. Since bash on windows is not included on the stable "branch" you have to go through the hoops to get it. This has nothing to do with the feature itself, which takes even less to install than pulling the Ubuntu image off docker hub.

I started freelancing and definitely think more about a self sustainable paid service, and have more time to work on it too. I'm trying to improve myself as a consultant but think I'd prefer to concentrate on a product. But a bit short on the ideas. Would love to hear some examples you'd think was not a stupid idea to work on.

Every article on fats vs. carbs dilemma stresses out weight management issue, none of them mention any other effects, but weight.
As a skinny guy, what are the dangers of say french fries, honey, and fast food? What about when coupled with active life style and moderate exercise?

I had similar views, until I did some contract work for distributed systems platform.
I have written a demo app that connects to twitter stream api and pushes data to elasticsearch instance running on Apache Mesos. One thing that struck me was separation of concerns principle, starting containers on a cluster with Marathon and Mesos is such a breeze. No complex deployments or package management, everything is isolated from each other very neatly and thoughtfully. Of course, the complexity is by orders of magnitudes higher and this tech comes with its own bundle of "joy", like maintenance difficulties and monitoring issues, but what new tech doesn't?

Good examples and loads of tutorials. I just started playing with it and circular dependencies make me cringe. Game object initiates subsystems that in turn get their dependencies through game object, which is a requirement for initialising aforementioned subsystems. What is this pattern? It's really tough to compose things with it.

With ever-increasing exposure to opinions and personal anecdotes / experiences on the internet these days , it's more important than ever to make your own judgements.

This was posted today and encourages to take it slow and rationally.
Even thought both articles imply different contexts of 'fast' and 'slow', being caught in the impulsive decision making cycle is very easy, because, as the referenced book "Thinking Fast, Slow" states this is the natural, energy-efficient mode.
A friend of mine went to visit some of the biggest startups in SF (we are from Netherlands) and was shocked with the working culture. Things are going at insanely fast rates, people are irritated and the environment is extremely charged. Comparing to Europe, the work culture is more relaxed, a lot of people work part hours. I wonder what effect it has on productivity, accomplishments and satisfaction with life?

Magit is so good, I nearly forgot how to use git commands anymore.
Navigation is intuitive, diffs are great, discarding and commiting hunks is superb, and it's snappy. It's really an outstanding interface for git!

Some really good advice here, thanks guys.
I have a question. Where are you guys at with this issue?
The thing is, literally every retina resolution Macbook I've tried this on (3 different machines) resulted in massive CPU hog with 4 tabs open on a few basic websites. Let's say they are reddit, hn, and youtube.
The Awesome bar is slow, switching tabs is slow, computer warms up in 15 seconds. Fans kick in, the rest is history. New profile, existing profile, it doesn't matter.
That goes for every single release after 57, including Developers, Beta, and Nightly builds.
15 inch ones are worse than 13.
This doesn't happen when I use external screen.
My feeling is in order to reproduce the issue one has to - Find a Macbook Pro released after 2012. - Open Firefox with aforementioned websites - Try to interact with the websites
Are there any active issues for it?
I remember this one: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1404042
All dependent bugs are fixed, but alas, it made no difference.
Is there's anything I could do to help resolve this?
