No, there was a big internal project (which they communicated publicly about - search for the blogs relating to it) to address it that involved roughly a year of effort from a big chunk of the developers.

Thanks. Do you have a view on whether the project went far enough?

Rovo is backed by the typical LLM providers in general, Atlassian isn't training its own models.

If you're experiencing this you're either a very junior dev or you're not as senior as your title might suggest...

They’re not facing this. They’re just lying.

You're assuming performance has been the core priority, or even a priority at all, and I think this is a bad assumption to make. I would estimate a much smaller number of people-months of work if I were you.

Dev users assume the only problem a product can solve is performance, when there is a lot more than that in reality.

Maybe in the past companies wouldn’t take the extra time for performance enhancements - but they’re apparently saying that AI is sooo good and speeds up work that they don’t need all of these extra people. So if their product was sped up it would enable their customers to work faster and lay off all of their extra employees (or just keep everyone and just do more stuff faster).

So are they doing this to make the product better or, as others have mentioned, they can’t innovate further and can’t grow their market so they need to cut costs.

Or, you know, most steam deck users aren't using them constantly and so they don't get picked up in the survey.

The average Linux gamer is likely to have a very different setup to the average Linux user in general. It's a subset of a subset.

As far as I'm aware it keeps a history of the frequency you visit each directory so yes it will select the one you've visited more often (assuming you don't always start at the base one and work your way down).

No the issue is that the one I want _isnt_ the most recent. Because 90% of the directories I visit contain the string 'src'

There's nothing inherent about C++ that makes it more suited than Rust for game engines though, Rust supports careful management of memory too. Of course, nothing besides inertia (i.e. Libs, existing code, etc.). And that of course is more than big enough of a reason to stick with it.

Rust supports careful management of memory at the expense of unsafety, at which point that particular area of the code offers no benefit over C/C++, let alone value in a rewrite. There is no type system for reinterpreting bits of memory.

And for the safe parts, the posts that I've read from people who have spent a non-trivial amount of effort with the language do not paint a clear picture either on whether there was really a benefit to the language overall.

So to say that "the world has moved on" in light of all of this is pure hubris.

There are. The count is gotten by extrapolating from randomly selected areas of sky. This is more like another detailed picture of a small patch of sky.

Can I inquire as to why you feel so negatively about Firefox?

burn a lot of fcking goodwill for measly 4% web user, turn out eating google money literally make you the next "google"

chromium edge literally surpass firefox and with new policy it would eat more to the marketshare

Is it that surprising that Edge is surpassing Firefox given Firefox doesn't have the onboarding ramp of Microsoft and Google? Microsoft shoves Edge in your face every chance it gets, as does Google. What can Mozilla do to compete against that? Unfair to use market share as an argument.

While I agree they shouldn't be putting their money towards political causes, the scrutiny of the budget is also political in nature. Of the $400 million in expenses, only around $15 million went to executives, and around $1 million went to the DEI stuff. The rest was split evenly between developing and marketing Firefox, which is basically what you were criticising them on not doing.

If they got rid of all the executives and DEI, they could increase the other budgets by 2%. There is 0 chance that the 2% extra budget could help the market share and development in any significant way.

And if you don't pay executives enough, you get worse executives who make worse decisions because the good ones will go to other companies. So you'll be complaining even more if the $15 million executive pay got dropped.

So in short: I agree Mozilla shouldn't get involved in politics. Despite this, no reasonable person could look at the numbers and conclude it's having a material effect on the destiny of Firefox.

ok my past response is mostly for laugh, this is my serious response

Firefox is literally default install in most if not all linux distro os, while I agree that situation is far from ideal but nothing is can be blamed other than themselves

for the longest of time firefox always playing catch up with chromium to achieve parity, maybe just maybe we don't need more browser

Microsoft literally give up their browser (IE), given how much resource MS has do you think firefox is doomed?? especially with DOJ force google to breakup chrome and cut off their spending on modzilla

I mostly critize about firefox place in the market, Opera found an niche with Opera GX for gaming, Brave with adblock and privacy focused etc while firefox is what??? inferior of chrome???

I can't reply further to this thread without this devolving into a flame war so I'll just observe that you've moved the goal posts claiming you were just joking, and refuse to engage further until you acknowledge you're either getting defensive for no reason or arguing in bad faith.

Yeah because you didn't have argument for it, good try tho

it would work with other people but not for me

edit: I'm not joking, I said laughing because firefox state is pathetic that deserved to be laughed at
