First of all thanks for posting what's on your mind and everything you did at Mozilla. Sorry to hear you are burnt out, hope you get better with time.

I've been a loyal Firefox user since forever - reading, writing, web dev I do is always in Firefox. It's a first app I always install. I'm grateful Firefox exists, and the world (at least mine) would be much worse if it wasn't around.

I don't like Mozilla is taking money from Google - I'd prefer if it was all community driven, to the point of a community owned co-operative, but I'm probably delusional.

Yet, I'm hopeful for the future.

In a parallel universe - UK never left EU as Scotland, Northern Ireland, and City of London kicked out England and Wales out of UK, and saved everyone years of turmoil.

I thought you were joking so I went to check it myself and... unfortunately you were not. That is insane.

My default editor for the past couple years. Love the simplicity, speed, and the fact I can navigate comfortably with just the keyboard. Plus Elixir LSP integration is a cherry on top.

"Because we can" at its best.

Yes! With "best" (to me) meaning for fun, entertainment, and without harming anyone. :)

Same. I clicked the link expecting a story about actual honey.

Also GNU grep doesn't claim to be intelligent.

Now you tell me!

This will be another upgrade for my dev machine running NixOS since 17.something times. Thanks to all maintaines and release managers over the years for such solid work!

Never heard of it, please tell me more about using it in plant breeding!

Humans have two copies of each chromosome. Plants in nature can have many more, and some can be induced to duplicate their chromosomes which sometimes gives them larger seeds and resilience to environmental conditions. Similar to hybrid crops but somehow containing the full genomes of both parents. Bread wheat is hexapoloid (containing sub-genomes from three varieties of wheat) and quinoa is tetraploid (containing two different species). There have been projects for ~100 years to make polyploid rice with heavier grain-weight, but they haven't been able to reproduce.

Super interesting, thanks!

Same story from a month ago. The moment I saw the sheer number of dependencies artillery wanted to pull I gave up.
