> do you think that there has probably been no progress in climate sciences during the last 30 years and thus predictive power is at the same level?

I agree there will have been lots of progress. However, 30 years from now people will probably say that the same thing to excuse todays predictions if they were wrong.

I exclusively use Firefox on Android because of the addons. For me it's the killer feature. Dark mode, ad blocks, YouTube while screen is off. It's made android so much more enjoyable.

>I lost it when at my previous job I found a 20 multiline super complex type defined by another dev, asked him to describe it because I was in a tight deadline and had not time to parse whatever he was defining. He starts with "it's pretty simple" and then used like 10 minutes to describe me what he meant while writing on paper the various pieces getting confused two time
