Personally, I don't think its possible to even work in your 100% capacity with WFH. Some might think that focusing extra hard on your work while ignoring the noises and family feuds will help but the long term toll it takes on your mental health and the amount of stress it builds is devastating.


This depends on your environment. I hear far more feuding in the office.


The debian benchmarks website. It was called benchmarkgame.alioth.com earlier if I recall correctly.


I didn’t even realise the domain was different. Been so many years since I’ve seen this site I had no idea it was gone.


Alioth was the name of a machine running FusionForge. Debian replaced it with "Salsa" that's running GitLab. The benchmarks game is hosted in this repository: https://salsa.debian.org/benchmarksgame-team/benchmarksgame

But (without intending to spread unsubstantiated rumor) it seems like it's temporarily unmaintained at the moment:

- in the README.md there is some complaint about being difficult to reboot into a Linux dual-boot, maybe the measurements+website were being published manually

- CI yml seems incomplete

- Some very strange issues like https://salsa.debian.org/benchmarksgame-team/benchmarksgame/...


That issue appears to be someone who was upset with the methodology of the benchmarks and the delay in accepting his/her programs so they resorted to repeatedly changing the title of one their issues.


> … without intending to spread unsubstantiated rumor…

So don't :-)

> … difficult to reboot into a Linux dual-boot…

That's likely to be a problem soon after 1st September.

> CI yml seems incomplete

In what way? "This GitLab CI configuration is valid."

> Some very strange issues like…

What else specifically?


This is really ghetto. Why does Debian allow it on their domain?


You just described most subsites under the Debian domain.


They had a plan to disrupt the optical fiber scenario too not so long ago, IIRC. What happened to that?


Mixed success. For google it has been somewhat a failure but the business model for disrutpion was exported and a few companies have been able to take root.

A few weed like companies (resiliant but too small) have popped up to cover how the landscape never really changed.


That's exactly what any CEO or "Downsizing Consultant" would say. That may be an OK situation for a corporate company, but for a non-profit foundation like Mozilla, its unhealthy and rings some disaster bells.


There is a fully open source port called VSCodium[1], I believe.

There is. As mentioned in the blog post it can't use the marketplace or the proprietary extensions though.


Is it worth switching from jquery with all the extra verbose code you must write for DOM manipulation?


Yes, absolutely.

First of all if you use querySelector or querySelectorAll for everything your code will likely be smaller without jQuery, but it will be just as slow.

If you access the DOM with string parsing your application can be anywhere from 1200-10000x faster. It will be more verbose, but certainly not as much as most people fear. If you are good with scope and abstractions you will solve for most of the verbose DOM interaction with reuse and custom abstractions.

So really dumping jQuery means choosing between smaller code or substantially faster code and both are a win.


Opinions vary on that one, does a footprint reduction by 90kb really matters in the day and age where megabytes of bloatware like angular, react, vue, etc. goes unchecked?

If adding 90kb helps me write `$(document.ready()` instead of `window.addEventListener(DOMContentLoaded)`, I'd rather add that because making code more intuitive and readable is what software engineering is about.


I prefer to assign events handler's directly to node event properties instead of addEventListener. The only advantage to addEventListener is that you can plug in a bunch of marketing spyware nonsense without worry that its going to clobber your event assignments.


"If you access the DOM with string parsing" -- could you explain that for a noob?


Plus the new generation is pampered with much cheaper resources (RAM and CPU), so programming efficiency goes out of the window.


I need a simple seo tool to find keyword rankings and check backlinks without going through the complex routine of google adwords or costly keyword platforms. Will you be able to build such a tool and make it open source?


With a google search I found several free keyword planners and backlink checkers


Not just Java, there is a lot of old Microsoft tech floating around too. VB6 and old versions of .NET and MSSQL are still common in many enterprises.


Off-topic but medium has almost turned into a paywall these days, it won't allow you to read more than 5 articles without subscribing to their paid service. Should HN and Google be promoting such a walled garden, especially when creative commons content is found aplenty on the interwebs?


They kept bugging me to log in. When I did, they started throwing things about limits around. So I deleted data related to the site and never log in. Since then I get to read as much as I want.


Agreed.

This is becoming a pet peeve of mine. When I run into my limit I just skip the read or find a way around it :)

Wish people would just stop posting to or linking to medium.
