This was easy because it's a Chinese company.
The largest companies in this space that do similar this (oxylabs, brighdata,etc) have similar tactics but are based in a different location.

This is not an issue for me due to my workflow.
I have a script for each of my projects that I run when I open a new terminal window (Alacritty). The scripts set up tmux with 3-8 terminals, each terminal launches a components, utility or just sits in a folder from which I later run commands.
Having said that, I use only a few zsh plugins, and have a theme configured to not run commands that add extra latency.

A chunk of the internet is down for me. So far Perplexity, AWS (VPN) and vercel.
Seems AWS is limping: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45640772

Something that I find amusing in the Java community is that a good number of senior developers, with anything from 5-20 years of experience, who do 'tdd' have never heard of the concept of test doubles and religiously think that a class must be tested in complete isolation mocking everything else.
The saddest one I saw was a team trying to do functional programming (with Spring). The tech lead was a bit flummoxed when I asked why mocks are not used in functional languages and continued to think that 'mocking functions' is the correct way to do TDD.

How do you do this? I'm looking to do it for the clipboard API. Browsers should be able to block copy and paste.
A quick google shows this for FF (taken from a thread in StackOverflow):
> In Firefox you can completely disable beforeunload events by setting dom.disable_beforeunload to true in about:config. Extensions may be needed for other browsers.
A word of caution: I'm not 100% sure, but I wonder if some web collaboration tools might use this to ensure data has been synced with a server.

I wonder how this works when one runs test in parallel (something I always enable in any project). By this I mean configuring JUnit to run as many tests as cores are available to speed up the run of the whole test suite.
I took a peek at the code and I have the impression it doesn't work that well as it hooks into when a thread is started. Also, I'm not sure if this works with fibers.

A side comment, I have found that configuring a few live templates in IntelliJ helps me to write a lot of the repetitive code just a handful of keystrokes regardless of the language.
Structural refactoring is another amazing feature that is worth knowing.
Would love to know if you found it's a real key or a fake one.
The gains are ~17% increase in individual effectiveness, but a ~9% of extra instability.
In my experience using AI assisted coding for a bit longer than 2 years, the benefit is close to what Dora reported (maybe a bit higher around 25%). Nothing close to an average of 2x, 5x, 10x. There's a 10x in some very specific tasks, but also a negative factor in others as seemingly trivial, but high impact bugs get to production that would have normally be caught very early in development on in code reviews.
Obviously depends what one does. Using AI to build a UI to share cat pictures has a different risk appetite than building a payments backend.
