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.

Customize > Density (at the bottom) > "Normal" :)

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.

If you're on a Mac, I highly recommend Quiver - "The Programmer's Notebook" (http://happenapps.com)

No affiliation, just like and use it :)

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.

Source: Worked there.

The spirit of the article was to praise the fruits of SV culture, in which Elon Musk is a revered leader. But yeah, if you want to be pedantic, yes space x is in Southern california.

If you include companies who aren't in SV in an article about SV. What's the point? I guess any startup that is SV funded is assumed to be a SV startup?

Maybe it's a stretch but anything Elon could be seen as an off shoot of the successes of SV. He started and sold Zip2 and PayPal there. He used the money from those ventures to start SpaceX and invest in Tesla. Also iirc much of the capital for these ventures comes from SV players.

Sure, though mentioning the rockets wasn't even a good example of his point, since every launch gets plenty of media coverage.

It's also misleading because there are a lot of government resources in this "private" innovation effort. That's generally true of the fawning over SpaceX, but in this context it's especially silly.

I would like to be a fly on the wall during the meeting where they decided to add the "carpet."

Maybe they are trying to protect our hands from the cold metal, or mitigate the damage of coffee spills.

Regardless, that fabric will get dirty and smelly eventually (think dead skin cells). No matter how clean you are.

The fabric thing could actually be really nice if you can replace the fabric and that replacement part is actually available at a reasonable price (and maybe also in some color variety).

I assume you would be doing things in VMs, right!? So what cross-OS issues?

IMO it's kind of weird to buy a frankly absurdly expensive laptop that locks you into using it's OS to then go and setup a bunch of virtualization to make your code/dependencies work when you can just run the OS you are virtualizing.

Why add layers of complexity when you can just run the OS you want?

Why use a VM when I can run things directly on the bare metal or in a docker container and not pay the virtualization overhead.

I'm not the original posted, but for me it's security and convenience reasons, mostly. I use Qubes OS which presents a very nice UI that makes using multiple VM's very seamless.

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.
