Satisfaction at 45% is the highest it's been since 2017. It's only lower on the chart because of all the new and shiny (and unused!) frameworks created later.
I find this insulting as a customer. Is AWS usually contemptuous of its customers?
I don't think I've ever called my customer "dumb", and working as a consultant I've seen all kinds of interesting things.
People make mistakes. They're always in a hurry. They may have a hard time understanding ambiguous, complex or incomplete documentation. The interface may be confusing and lead them to bad solutions. Come on, support is there to help.
Today most of the stuff you bring home from the market was either made with slave work, or with machine work. The latter is not unlikely to have even worse impact on human lives on a great scale.
The explanation is that you need to balance out centrifugal force F=mv^2/r.
"Sharp turn" has smaller radius, therefore much larger the force. By turning in the opposite direction first, you're making the turn much less sharp, increasing the radius and thus reducing the force.
I've always loved Firefox. Had to switch to Chrome for stability and resource consumption, but I did not enjoy being all Google and I did miss numerous awesome features of Firefox. The awesomebar and dev tools to just name a few.
Went back to Firefox Quantum for a few months. Now I'm back on Chrome for exactly the same reasons. After hours of active use, Firefox is eating a ton of RAM and consuming way too much CPU, while also struggling to open any pages (let alone more complex apps) or downright crashing the apps that were already running.
Plus, it does not seem to support web calls at all (Google Meet, BlueJeans, GoToMeeting you name it).
I hate being on Chrome again, and I miss those Firefox features. But I have work to do, and I just can't have my tools grind to a halt all the time.
Those "6 extra chars" mean more noise for human on the screen, it can lead to line wrapping or in other way harm the formatting, and last but not least it does not make it easier to promote good coding practices.
Here's a great article on social media and continuous distraction, looking at these issues from a number of angles. I can't recommend this piece enough.
"There is growing concern that as well as addicting users, technology is contributing toward so-called “continuous partial attention”, severely limiting people’s ability to focus, and possibly lowering IQ."
The problem is not so much about Catalonia and Spain. There are plenty of such regions and ethnic groups in pretty much every country on the continent. If the ball starts rolling, it can mean going back a few centuries.
Perhaps the point of all this was not watering the plant, but the engineering itself? Looks like a very fun and inspiring thing to do, I'd love to do some of that one day just to learn the electronics.
