I'm on one of the latest MacBook Pros and Firefox uses more CPU, RAM, and energy than Safari. I don't mind the extra CPU and RAM usage, but the energy usage needs some work, specially during idle time. On average the energy impact of the new Firefox has been double that of Safari.
That's great to hear. For a lot of users, Chrome is not the competition, but rather Safari, because Safari is energy efficient and privacy conscious. If Firefox can get as energy efficient, or even just close enough to Safari then it becomes THE clear winner.
Hear, hear.
The packaging enticed my GF, so she bought a couple to try. I wanted to like it because I liked premise of showing the ingredients right in the front. But boy oh boy was it hard to chew, and taste was nothing worthwhile.
RXBars have great packaging and marketing, but the bars are meh at best from my experience.
I'm surprised to hear you say that Vue has a large API, because one of my reasons for adopting Vue was its small API. It allowed me to hold a mental model of the API in my head.
You can go through the entire docs in less than an hour and get down to business. I did not have this experience with Angular 1 (don't know about v2) or React.
The part about the rockets is off. SpaceX is based in Hawthorne, CA, which is in the Los Angeles area. LA has a high density of aerospace engineers, which is one of the reasons Musk based SpaceX there.
I don't think most people doubt the utility of Github, but this writing seems to be from a person living in a bubble.
Most people don't get the time and resources to work on open source. Some times, you can't even open source something, despite wanting to. For example, when I was in academia, I wanted to open source some worthwhile projects I had completed, but was never allowed to by superiors, because they considered them as competitive advantage IP.
Thanks for those links. I never knew the person behind Fuzzy Sets, a topic highly relevant to the HN crowd. Lotfi Zadeh is one of the giants we stand on.
Don't let this hold you back or defer your plans. As a former PhD student in the U.S, I can tell you that you have plenty of options in Canada and Europe. Some of my best professors studied in these areas.
Vue is definitely much more approachable. I did not have this experience when using Angular not long ago.
To each their own, but I find the Vue API small and simple enough for me to keep it all in my head at once. Reasoning about things has become it a lot easier because of this.
