I've been using firefox for years... Firefox is cool. Slack huddle in my Firefox never works, I don't know why. But that's cool. If someone in the team needs a "huddle" I can give a reason and ask them to describe their problem instead. That works 99% and saves me a lot of time.

I love firefox.


I wish it had better permissions around extensions. So I could only allow them for certain pages like in chrome.


whatsapp requires to access to contacts on the phopne. otherwise it just shows a bunch of phone numbers and I never get who I'm talking to in the groups. And it shares my phone number to everyone.

Such a feature hasn't been changed and now I know why


If you don’t give WhatsApp access to your contacts it will show people’s screen names in chats, not just their number.

WhatsApp only uploads phone numbers from your contacts. No other information. This is all documented here: https://faq.whatsapp.com/1191526044909364/


> And it shares my phone number to everyone.

Who is "everyone"? Anyone that searches your name, or all your contacts? (I've never used WhatsApp.)


As far as I'm aware:

1. People in a conversation with you (including a group conversation you are added to, which I believe you can limit to require your consent) can see your phone number

2. People who already have your number in their contacts can see that your number is registered with WhatsApp


I hate WhatsApp for this reason, but it’s so damn prolific!


In my team when someone asks me to look at some issues, my very first question is always where they see the alert. Because there are a huge number of "alert" channels. And I am very "happy" spending most of my days doing nothing much than searching and looking up things lolz


In the spacing section, the author's suggestion to use absolute spacing operator (e.g \;) is actually not recommended. a better way is to make `dx` a math operator (`d` is an operator isn't it?).

Some other suggestion is not actually recommended in the official documentation of amsmath as I recall.

Hope this helps.


I use \mathop{}\!{\mathrm d}} myself. That is a bit convoluted, but it takes care of the spacing in just about every context.. Of course, I put that in a macro definition so I don’t have to sprinkle it all over my document.
