Bring in Robert Reich and Thom Hartman, because the article is yet another piece of low-quality, establishment propaganda aimed at making people feel good about being systematically cheated and glad to incur externalities the rich shift onto everyone else. Furthermore, most new wealth is hyperconcentrating at the very top in a highly unmeritocratic, corrupt fashion, due to advances in technology and the insider-political complex which is able to self-reinforce favorable economic polices at the expense of everyone else, while the middle- and lower-class subsidize the rich with corporate and estate welfare approximately 6x more so than actual welfare. Granted that most jobs and labor can/are being greatly disrupted by technology, people are being freed up to do basically nothing while gains of efficiency aren't being adequately shared to ensure shared survival... there simply isn't enough work to go around any longer while at the same time there is also a massive imbalance in wealth accumulation. I think only a basic guaranteed income, either offered to all citizens voluntarily by the rich or more likely by the state, is one of only a couple of irreducible ways to redistribute money to ensure a minimal standard of living.

I see that the board claim he was not asked by the board to resign. You can differentiate I guess between "You see which way the wind is blowing, better do what needs to be done" and "Resign or we'll fire you" but that's really a distinction without a difference and would seamlessly segue into the other state, I expect.

I never understood why Mozilla has allowed their main product and their only money maker to fall so far behind.

But FF has been inferior to Chrome for many years. They should really refocus their efforts to concentrate on delivering the best browser again, as it was before Chrome came along.
I rather have people write such texts to encourage people to switch to Firefox then have Chrome installed accidentally because they again bundled it like some crappy AntiVirus software in the installer of another program (together with the google updater service and god knows what).

I've flip flopped on this over the years.

I've finally settled on this:

Why are dev tools 1-size-fits-all? What is that? I should be able to say, turn on all the tools, or just give me simple mode.

For a lot of websites I create, I would love to have:

1) Console for errors and debugging output.

2) A way to edit the source of the page I'm looking at, and any connected CSS/JS pages in a regular notepad-like editor to make real-time changes to what I'm looking at (and reload with those changes in place)

That's it. Then I can transfer my changes to my dev files and upload to the FTP server.

Then, when I'm working on some huge bloated website with all kinds of craziness, I can turn on all the tools in an advanced mode.

I'm glad to see this work get written up. If anyone wants a good project, there are some optimizations we (the Hyperscan team) have done in our "Teddy" SIMD string implementation that aren't captured (yet) in the Rust implementation to my knowledge. We're very happy to see techniques from our library get used in other projects as one of the points of open sourcing it (https://github.com/01org/hyperscan) was to share how we do things with the community.

As much as I like Firefox, it’s not usable on my “eco” PC (Celeron N3150, 8 GB RAM). Chrome is.

Prior property isn't needed and I'm not sure where the 3x rule comes from. Non-housing costs need not scale linearly with income.

$300,000 a year is $190,000 post-tax.

Assuming 20% down, a $1.7M home would cost somewhere in the range of $8,000 a month after factoring in the mortgage income tax deduction.

That leaves $94,000 a year disposable, which is a lot anywhere. This family can readily get a full-time nanny for the early children years, ensuring no parent needs to take time off.

No, this wouldn't happen except in vanishingly rare circumstances. A lien is generated only when property values rise faster than the Prop. 13 formula. For a large balance to accumulate, the property value has to have grown much faster than 2% annually for a long time. If it does that, the sale price of the property will be far above the purchase price. Even if it does that and then the market takes a huge dive right before the owner wants to sell, the sale price will probably still be well above the purchase price.

If the property value merely takes a big jump in the first year and doesn't change thereafter, the annual payment will eventually catch up to it (a 2% annual increase is still exponential growth!).

If you want to add a clause that says that the collected tax will never exceed the difference between the sale price and the original purchase price, I'm okay with that. But I'll bet it will practically never be needed.

> But FF has been inferior to Chrome for many years.

Can we please stop fueling this myth?

Maybe for some of you Firefox lacks something you actually need.

For others, like me and a bunch of others it is completely the other way, -if I was forced to use any other browser it would annoy me to no end (not tree tabs, etc etc).

So while I think it is totally fine to point out where other does better, telling everyone that Chrome is better isn't even true except for very specific cases.

Edit: clarify need
Sure. The current generative models cannot produce good details, and the generated images are often low resolution (e,g. 64x64). In the paper, we tried to enhance the low res result by stealing the high res details from the original photo. But in general, there are not many things you can do.

On the other hand, in the recent years, we see dramatic improvement of image quality from these generative models. Overall I think this is a promising and exciting direction.
It leads to slower handling time on that package, and greater care for that package. Going back to the original comment in this thread, it does so in a way that's far more effective than a policy email would. It's not clear that the overall performance is degraded or enhanced by this technique.
maybe focusing the generation perspective on the tech involved can help with moving this forward - as much as I'd like to contribute to a sane linux desktop in general (and LXQt is definetely the most promising one atm), theres no way I go back to write c++ based 'old school' UI-code anymore. I think for writing UIs you really want the flexibility of a declarative approach - haven't kept up with QML lately but v1 wasn't that great, same with gtk.Builder. people are not shipping a bloated copy of chromium in their apps without reason: we got so used to the power these monsters of layout engines offer, that people think its worth it! even though there still is no decent set of UI-widgets/components for the browser .. (something that can compete with QT or GTK with accessibility etc build in)

things are moving fast in the app-centric world right now, and while this has its downsides, it also populizes ideas that really do make things better - declarative layout, the functional (reactive) approach to ui-programming, using a network capable (rest-) interface between front- and backend and sane sandboxing. a desktop environment that offers a runtime for these kind of apps has the potential to bring back some developers to the linux desktop - KDE imho not only shines in regard to the Frameworks and KWin, their efforts in using QML as the basis for the whole desktop could lead to a more hackable experience for a new generation of developers in general.

bottom line: while electron really is an ugly hack atm, this approach to write cross desktop apps offers a developer experience that is superior in many ways and something that QT should really keep on moving forward: high quality ui-components and functional QML based frontend code combined with language agnostic backend code (c++ for resource heavy stuff, python et al for everything else)

I keep Gmail and a couple other permanent logins open in Chrome and do 99% of my other browsing in Firefox.
Chromium is actually a good browser. Until Servo picks up the technical slack, Mozilla will not have a browser I can afford to waste my time running. Firefox is completely unusable for me. The UI is slow, ugly, clunky, and complex. The rendering performance is abysmal. The extensions ecosystem has collapsed from a decade of API breakage, and now total deprecation. The organization is hostile and political because Mozilla lets people push their personal ideological agendas on foundation dollar.

Compared to Chromium, Firefox is a slow, confusing, incompatible security liability with no consistent wins. Even when they do uniquely good things (like the WebGL live shader editor) they are held back by the general inadequacy of the product.

No amount of pleading will change any of this.

As someone who manages a 450-user IT department (academic), supporting roughly 50/50 BYOD/supplied computers, and staring at my stats, Firefox is the most reliable browser. We see %300 more problems with Chrome than Firefox.

That argument will work in the Bay Area. But since we're talking about California constitution, why should a voter from Coalinga or San Bernardino (a) vote "yes", (b) potentially see his/her own property bill skyrocket due to the fact that some coastal municipality can't manage its own building permits and/or transportation.

> after some number of decades the amount of tax owed upon sale will be far larger than the value of the property

No. Show me a scenario in which that happens. Remember that applying the Prop. 13 formula to the tax payments allows them to grow at 2% annually. No lien is created in the first place unless the property appreciates faster than that.
Having had some (albeit very few) actual interactions with both Brendan Eich and a few members of the board, I do not think that the board was considering firing him, and I think that Brendan decided to resign entirely of his own volition.
Ask HN: Learn while doing, or do and learn?
"Learning while doing" could be reading a book on XYZ technology and building a product using XYZ technology.

I was a long time user of Firefox, mostly because I despise how Chrome is so inflexible and has terrible interface design. Unfortunately, Firefox has continually gotten worse and worse over the last few years. I was tired of the browser slowing down over time, and extensions constantly breaking for no other reason but the fast release cycle.

I ended up switching to Vivaldi. Not only does it fix the majority of things I hate about Chrome, but it supports Chrome extensions which are good enough (but not as good as Firefox).
I maintain a copy of Firefox Developer Edition on my system and I make a concerted effort to open it every few days so it can update itself and so I can test any new sites or blog posts I'm working on. I've tried to switch back to Firefox cold turkey in the past and it never works for me, but I might introduce a personal policy of one week on, one week off, alternating between Firefox and Chrome.
I only open the process overview if something doesn't work as it should (like most people I guess). Every time I tested it I came to a point where I had issues. Maybe too many tabs, maybe wrong content, I don't know. It wasn't possible to find the "right process" there to kill too. I would just go and kill them from big to small and this is also the moment where I realize: I shouldn't have to care about which tab caused that or why. I don't have this problem on FF and if I have there is exactly one process I'd have to kill and I didn't have to do that for some versions already. Even with it being cramped with Addons. Old and new ones. I barely had Ublock on Chrome...
SQLite is not such a great choice for the server side. SQLite typically get's used on the client side portion, either as a "caching db" for offline work, or for client side only programs without a server backend.
I think the most effective way to get people to change browser habits, is through something compelling over a period of time. So far I don't find Firefox compelling enough nor this post. (Keep trying please, we really do need competition here)
> the performance criticism of SQLite is vastly overblown

That kind of depends on how you use it. Obviously this depends on the row size, constraints, etc., but if you want to write more that a few thousand rows per second for longer periods, the performance limitations of SQLite will become very obvious very quickly.
> There was no instance of Eich's views ever influencing anything on his job, and no single instance or evidence of any problem with his job.

Maybe not direct instance. But if I were at Mozilla, I would have resigned because of him.

I mean, Eich was giving money to people campaigning for removing civil rights from people based on their sexual orientation. That's not a small thing - if it was race instead of sexuality, would you be okay with it? White Power CEO?

Reducing Deploy Risk with Docker’s New Health Check Instruction
Just because an organization is 'not profitable' does not mean they are not efficient, and that there aren't stake holders raking it in.

'Non profit' means that investors are not making anything (there are none).

But there are other stake-holders: suppliers, customers, other kinds of financiers (debtors, other financial services), vendors, executives and employees.

They could feasibly be paying themselves 'significantly above market wages', they could be over-paying suppliers and vendors, and hiring far more people than they need, or otherwise operating very inefficiently.

I'm not accusing ICANN of any of this - rather - I'm making the point that their position as 'non profit' doesn't necessarily absolve the organization of 'raking in a lot more money than they need' kind of thing.

This is a brilliant idea. I guess it would be difficult for this work to accomplish as you need to train a neural net on tons of data (like 100k images, or millions), and we cannot find so many paintings with consistent style.
