Which is not Firefox's fault. It's up to the operating system to provide a stable API to make things like this work.

Me still using bigints... Which haven't given me any problems. Wouldn't use it for client generated IDs but that is not what most applications require anyway.

I don't understand how the mapping works. An address has 8 parts and produces 16 words, so each part consists of 2 words. If we take the example 2a02, that gets encoded to "how atop", but I don't see how that text helps me that "how atop" means 2a02? Am I suppose to memorize both? How does that help?

About 15 years ago I gave some networking courses at a local education center, it was all young kids (18-20 years old). When I told them that the speed we got back in the day was 4 kilobytes per second (56k on a good day), they didn't believe me at all.

I'm really missing something like Cisco DMVPN. A VPN mesh between different routers where all routers have a connection to each other, so that all traffic doesn't have to pass through the hub. And that runs on a router, because all these solutions only run on a regular computer with a complete OS.

I'm a big fan of Guava's EventBus. Easy to implement and straightforward to understand. This library does seem to require more setup and I don't see the immediate advantages, also why does it require an instanceProvider? I don't understand what that does.

What happened to me is I passed a date to an external library, and then after that library did its work, that date was changed. Super annoying even if you know that it's a mutable object.

I think English is a terrible shitpile of grammar and syntax

Spoken languages are like programming languages, there are the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.

I have been saying it since the beginning that we are centralizing all the power of the internet to one organization and that this a bad thing, yet I get downvoted every time. One organization is going to have a say on whether or not you can have a website on the internet, how is this objectively a good thing?
