Looking at some countries that offer more detailed data, you can sometimes see the cases double, while hospitalizations and deaths grow at a much lower rate (if at all).

Compare for example the UK:

- This chart for the daily new cases shows a dramatic second wave that even exceeds the first one: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/

- This chart for the positive rate on the other hand shows a modest increase to ~3% over the past few weeks, far below the 30% in April: https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-testing#the-positive-...

- And if you look at the number of tests you'll see it has more than tripled since April, hence the increase in "cases": https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-testing#how-many-test...

ALE also supports CLI linters and formatters, LSP support only came later and is entirely optional.

The situation is similar to Google Chrome/Chromium: Most of it is open-source, but the release binaries contain some proprietary bits for telemetry, marketplace access, etc.

A FOSS build is available at https://vscodium.com/

If that's an Open Source project you could apply for a free Gold license and get 50'000 minutes per group per month (see links in the article).

Yeah, they seem to be more interested in doing UX research and "highlighting value" of this broken feature: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/5652

> Page caching is way too aggressive. It's not acceptable to show days old versions of a website in a new tab. Yet, this happens to me on pretty much all news websites and blogs that I visit. Including HN. I have to reload freshly opened news websites to get the current version. To me this feels like a bug and I hope this is not actually intended behavior (that would be seriously misguided).

If this is with collections, apparently it's intentional: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/10417

Thanks, TIL!

So what do you think about the privacy concerns raised in the article, which seem like the more important point?

I got force-upgraded to Fenix a few weeks ago, I had checked out the betas and previews previously and was amazed at how much stuff is still missing or broken:

- Most extensions are not supported yet. Looks like we'll at least get this in Nightly soon:

  - https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/14034

- Bookmark keywords are missing:

  - https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/2497

  - https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/12099

  - https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/12100

- Tab Queue is missing:

  - https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/470

  - https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/12338

- Sharing a link from an app directly to another device is missing:

  - https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/1523

  - https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/11780

- Collections are confusing:

  - https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/10417

  - https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/11506

- Top toolbar is confusing:

  - https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/11298

  - https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/11314

- Somehow, they even managed to make opening a tab confusing:

  - https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/10368

  - https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/11833

  - https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/12301

Article with an overview of the changes: https://stitcher.io/blog/new-in-php-8

Some highlights are union types, a JIT compiler, named arguments, annotations, and match expressions.

The approach to named arguments is interesting. It's nice that you don't have to change the signature of existing functions, but the downside seems to be that you can't enforce the usage of named arguments on callers, as in other languages like Ruby and Python where keyword arguments need to be declared as such.

    function foo(string $a, string $b, ?string $c = null, ?string $d = null) 
    { /* … */ }

    foo(
        b: 'value b', 
        a: 'value a', 
        d: 'value d',
    );
