on Google Has Removed Manifest V2 Extensions From the Chrome Web Store, Including uBlock Origin in c/technology@beehaw.org · 2 Sep 2026
I got a notification two days ago that my extension was taken down. I actually did upgrade it to manifest v3, but I’m not too motivated to republish it. It’s still on the Firefox addon repo, so eh.

on reason enough to fail the interview in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 31 Aug 2026
So, to start off, I’m someone who does not typically perform well during interviews because of anxiety (but through some miracle has had no issues with employment), so take this response with whatever bias that brings.
I believe this is bad too. You’re still essentially asking a gotcha question, expecting one phrase in your answer and failing the candidate if you don’t hear that phrase. And, in fact, I disagree with the premise. I think the question is defined quite well in the context of programming, given that someone answers with the possibility that there are many ways to hash something and many uses of hashing.

As someone who exclusively shops second-hand the mere existence of this article feels like an omen for prices.
Funny, I’ve been having a lot of problems with Mullvad DNS so I just switched to Quad9.
