This is a fix. It's not the only fix. I postulate that it's probably not even the best fix for Firefox.

> Instead of allowing open access to the internals of Firefox, which will never be secure

Android, iOS, and many other OSes do this all the time via rather granular ACLs. It can be done.

All analogies are flawed - but Firefox is closing the theaters by completely killing off their add-on interface in exchange for an comparatively shallow experience.
The switch has a USB-C port though, which would be more than enough bandwidth for debugging. Mobile dev's have lived with USB 2.0 connections for building games just fine.

The problem is likely just that it becomes easier to install third party software if there is some kind of Dev mode inside retail units...but Nintendo's locked down hardware gets jailbroken anyways so I don't see the point in hiding it.
There is also SILE (https://github.com/simoncozens/sile), which has been in development since 2012 and addresses these points in the docs: SILE is similar to TeX—from which it borrows some concepts and even syntax and algorithms—but the similarities end there. Rather than being a derivative of the TeX family SILE is a new typesetting and layout engine written from the ground up using modern technologies and borrowing some ideas from graphical systems such as InDesign.

The documentation includes "SILE versus TeX" section; some of the quotes from it: "one of the things that TeX can’t do particularly well is typesetting on a grid. This is something of a must have feature for anyone typesetting bibles. Typesetting on a grid means that each line of text will line up between the front and back of each piece of paper producing much less visual bleed-through when printed on thin paper. This is virtually impossible to accomplish in TeX. There are various hacks to try to make it happen, but they’re all horrible. In SILE, you can alter the behaviour of the typesetter and write a very short add-on package to enable grid typesetting."

"SILE does not benefit from the large ecosystem and community that has grown up around TeX; in that sense, TeX will remain streets ahead of SILE for some time to come. But in terms of core capabilities, SILE is already certainly equivalent to, if not somewhat more advanced than, TeX."
> And the theatre analogy is just silly. It's not like shutting down a theatre because someone got shot in it, it's like enacting a "no guns in this theatre" policy instead.

"No guns here" means "Shooters, you will have zero resistance here. Enjoy!".
The paper[0], for those interested. Appears the dinosaur was found in southern China, is that region colder/lower moisture than most areas? Having a hard time assessing how a peptide could remain stable for so long under anything but extremely odd conditions.

Elasticity of demand. I was just reading a piece about mental models and how having one or two is like the old hammer nail problem. I think this article suffers of that a bit along with generalising to a set of principles anyone can agree with.

What works when your product becomes a life or death necessity to people will be much different than what works else where.

Run your business like a business that sells your product. If you're selling cocaine, you should probably run it like a drug lord. If enterprise software, run it like an enterprise software company.

Maybe there's a case again what I'm saying with disruption but let's be honest: running dental practice like an actual drug lord will probably get you struck off.

An example: "Run your business like a cockroach. You're the head: work to make it run without your presence."

A template: "Run your business like a <type>. <insert positive attribute generalised from type>"

Just want to clarify something: This includes a developer Switch console ($300 value retail). I am guessing the extra $200 gives you additional developer tools, documentation, and debug output and of course run self-signed software.

They also sound like they're working with Unreal and Unity to make migrating games easier.

If the developer Nintendo Switch could run other developer's retail games normally, I might consider buying one of these instead of a retail Switch just to tinker on.
$21 Billion for a wall is a lot.

Penn & Teller did a show on Immigration. Tthey got a bunch of Mexicans to build a wall. And yes, after it was built, they asked the workers to try to get across it.

The wall slowed them down by about 2 minutes. Which isn't really worth it.

Any wall built along the border will likely be similar in efficacy. And even if the wall is perfect, tunnelling under it won't be a problem.

TBH, You'd probably be better off increasing detection along the border. Leave it open, but make sure you catch everyone $21 billion will buy a lot of equipment that can be hidden, and a lot of border patrols.
When you say "REAL fasting" what do you mean exactly?
This is a good one! Every time I post an interview in the healthcare field, I have a ton of people write in saying they'd never attempt to fix the problem because of HIPAA or some other regulation.

The folks who can make these regulations easier to work around, or who have the patience to slog through it have an incredible opportunity before them.
It wasn't a social network though.

In Germany only bands add musicians used it.

Actually I do; it brings information into the market faster, meaning more-accurate prices are realised more quickly.

I'm really hopping for Firefox to implement something like Tree Style Tabs by default. It's time for tabs to take their natural side place.
> The strategy to mimick chrome makes sense, because the masses think this is how the browser -- or as they call it the "internet" -- should look like.

But that's what FF has been doing for the past ~5 years, and how has their share been doing? Not so well.

Chrome has much more marketing behind it. And it comes from a name that people know and trust. Most people don't know who Mozilla is. And most people don't care about avoiding Google. So if I have two browsers, and the lesser known one is constantly following the other, why would I choose it? I'd rather take the leading browser. It seems as if the FF one is just playing catchup the whole time.

I love Mozilla and FF because it respects me. But it often feels like they are losing that respect just to play follow the leader
The theatre already had such a policy. The sign did not deter the murderer. The analogy is apt.
Exactly. Now they killed Firebug. And their newer DevTool has a Firebug skin - just a skin. Very bad devision. So now I reverted back to an older Firebug version, which is actually the true Firebug addon.

This means I will now have a zoo of old outdated browsers. Safari 5.1 Win32, Firefox 56 Win32 with Firebug addon, IE11 on Win7 (plus Chrome, Vivaldi and Servo alpha)

I have hope in a lightweight reboot of Firefox based on Servo with HTML based UI (like Firefox was a lightweight reboot of Mozilla Suite; funny that Firefox is now many times more bloated than Mozilla Suite (now called SeaMonkey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeaMonkey ) and has less features)

Does this mean it's far more likely that indie game developers can get their games in the legit Nintendo game store rather than some relegated "secondary" game store like Xbox did in the past which nobody ever actually goes to and is usually filled with junk (afaik)?

I'm principally against using a credit card, so I've done a lot of research finding the best debit savings.

Although card companies make it hard for shops to offer cash or debit discounts, they exist. Aldi only takes debit cards and is way cheaper than any other grocery. A Thai restaurant I used to go to always brought us the bill offering 5% off if paid in cash(lots of neighborhood places like this). Any bar will throw on tax if you start a tab, but paying the cash price per drink is usually the exact advertised price.

Paypal debit card offers 1% cash back. Schwab debit card offers rental car insurance and free foreign transaction.

I teach.

I have the kids learn Python between age 9 and 11 depending on when they are interested. We write games and learn the fundamentals of CS by following the curriculum of Rice's "Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python" class designed by Rixner and Warren. It has a Python interpreter and game library that compiles in-browser into javascript, which is a very helpful design for a first class, and for sharing their results with myself, their families, and each other.

Afterwards I encourage those who really enjoy it to learn Java, also using web sources primarily. I intercede when they are stuck but generally they help each other out.

Some of them used to use the Java to write Minecraft mods but that has become a bit more tricky.

There was one student who started to learn Java at age 7, but in general that's too young. If you push things too earlier they don't get a head start. They get burned out and don't want to have anything to do with it any more. You really need to be sensitive to what they are interested in and let them lead.

Most kids when they see others making their own games want to try their own hand at it themselves, so I have managed to create a self-perpetuating cycle.

Learning languages to make games makes sense. Pushing languages to force concepts will be resisted and is counterproductive.

The games approach is nice too because they rapidly learn trigonometry, basic physics, and linear algebra by age 10 or so, and are teaching themselves Calculus on Khan Academy by age 12, as well as researching optics, writing their own shaders and generally doing what most would consider college or graduate level mathematics. Their Java skills also often lead to writing for Android. Some selling their games and other software at a certain point, which helps their families.

It helps that on the reservation I have a great deal of autonomy in what I can do. I've worked in public outside schools before. None of this would be allowed there.

I don't really care for the idea of dumbed down toy languages that can't really be used for production software. Python and Java are well designed enough that they are understandable and usable from the age where they are able to do programming thought. Python is a simpler one to read and use and so we start with that. But Java is very similar and the lessons of Python directly transfer. Java ends up being much more useful for distributable and saleable software, though it is harder as a first language.

I think it would be interesting if the internet were around 50+ years ago so we could hear everyone respond to news of the Berlin Wall being constructed with "LOLOLOL ever heard of a ladder?"

Walls do work. Not 100% because nothing is, but they absolutely do. Ask Hungary how it's been working out for them: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_border_barrier
Debit cards are cheaper to process, regular credit cards that don't do anything are a bit more expensive, and credit cards that give bonuses are the most expensive. Some processors will charge a set rate for everything - although that's more common with card-not-present payment processing than card-present.
> But I want the addons to have full control over my browser, that's the whole point! It's my browser and I've tailored it to myself and my requirements.

Owning the code that runs on your machine is your right as a user of open-source software, but there's no right that says that Mozilla must be the one to maintain that code. And nobody's asking you to maintain your own personal fork either: find all the other people who care about unlimited (if fragile) browser extensibility via unrestricted addons and form a community (or hell, a corporation) to collectively make the browser you want, starting from a fork of Firefox (or Chromium, or Midori).

If you believe that there are enough people in your position to make such a collaboration successful, then you're all set. And if you don't believe that there are enough people out there who care about unrestricted addons to make such a project viable, then--while I sympathize with your plight--maybe it makes business sense for Mozilla to drop support for unrestricted addons, especially due to the ways that this feature hinders all the other features that Firefox users are clamoring for: speed, reduced memory usage, speed, HTML5 adoption, speed, ES6+ adoption, speed, speed, security, and speed.
Badly performing addons are the main reason behind Firefox crashes. The majority of users don't use addons. Of those who use addons, the vast majority use just one: an ad blocker. Those addons work fine under new Firefox.

There are lots of reasons to use Firefox over Chrome. It's not designed to drive traffic to a search engine. It has far better privacy out of the box. It's a standalone browser that isn't tied to the operating system for things like personal certificates. It doesn't lock its settings to the operating system so you lose all your passwords, extensions, and extension settings if you move it from one PC to another like Chrome does. Etc.
With the caveat that I'm a pundit not an expert.

Relational databases are built on the mathematical model described by the relational algebra. There is approximately forty five years of literature, thirty five years of wide-spread use, and three open source projects: Postgres, MySql, and SQLite with approximately two decades of use.

NoSQL does not have a mathematical basis. It is a term invented for a conference about non-relational databases. There are mathematical bases for many things that are called
'NoSQL' and good products and technologies behind them. But there is no commonality between them.

SQL unites relational databases and makes the practical differences between relational databases differences of features rather than architecture. NoSQL databases differ in architecture: key value stores versus graphs versus semi-structured data.

There is a well understood and common meaning of 'database schema' when referring to relational databases. While a particular NoSQL database might have a strong notion of schema (or might not) it will differ from NoSQL database to database and among them the common notion of schema is very abstract at best and almost certainly grounded against the definition of schema in the relational database world.

In terms of learning, the relational model seems like a better starting point: better learning resources, mature products, mathematical structure, and constituting the common basis for discussing databases in general.

On the relational side I'm probably biased toward Postgres as a starting point because there is more signal to noise than with MySQL. It's not that there's anything wrong with MySQL it's that the success of the LAMP stack means there are lots of 'How to build a potato chip rating website with MySQL' blog posts whereas with Postgres there is a higher likelihood of useful technical detail.

That's not to say that a resume site needs a relational database (or a NoSQL database). Files on disk would probably work and that might be an interesting alternative exercise.
There are remarkably few such people in modern American society.
Ciao IshKebab as far as I know still no integrated circuits has been designed or produced to handle PJON if that was the question.

PJON protocol layer contains many features not present in the i2c specification, and also its physical layer runs over only one wire and doesnt need precise clocking as i2c does. Infact with i2c you can have unreliable communication with a meter long wire, and it is designed to connect integrated circuits over a board and not to connect many arduinos around a house, it stricly depends on the requirements you impose for your application.
Only about 250,000 users use the tab modification extensions that people keep claiming is Firefox's only advantage out of 10s of millions of Firefox users. Addons that greatly alter Firefox's behavior are the main reason for crashes. And maintaining XUL is hampering Firefox future development.
The cat and mouse between these guys and the naval/Coast Guard units of the involved nations might in the far future see the introduction of full-blown diesel-electric, liquefied oxygen-bearing, water-cooled exhaust submersibles. Battery-powered and make the legs of the run only at night. Diesel plant is fed stored oxygen, gas expansion powers compressor-free air conditioning. Metal-oxide-based CO2 scrubber is regenerated from diesel generator heat while engine is run during day-time to recharge, as the smugglers stop and snorkel stationary to avoid wake-detection. Noise-isolating mounts reduce detectable range of running diesel generator. At or near the destination port, a disguised tender trans-loads the shipment, and resupplies diesel/food/reverse-shipment-goods. Between those technologies and operational discipline, it would be a big PITA to detect.

It's a good thing these future submarines would be immensely more expensive, and narcos are not known as good employers guaranteeing solid operational secrecy, as such an unusual setup would bound to get disgruntled/prideful operatives blabbing/boasting. By the time they get around to it, involved nations will probably litter the nearby ocean floors with a SOSUS-style dragnet, and that will likely put this smuggling route out of reach of all but nation-state-grade narco-cartels willing to spend about multiple billions in R&D and $1B US per construction unit to upgrade to military-grade diesel-electric submarines with their more advanced acoustic signature mitigation systems and protocols.

> The government is for all people not only businesses.

Look like we are talking about robinhood govts now. In practice it never goes well for anyone except politicians and bureaucrats.

> BTW, I'm not only talking about Apple with this right to repair stuff, I'm talking about every company. Companies that make devices everyone lives with and depends on, and they want to retain control of them even though people pay the full price not for renting, but owning.

In favour of the cause. But very opposed to the means.

> Yeah you can look for another company. Do it before they're driven out of business or acquired by the established ones. Or you can force corporations to do something that will benefit the population.

And you see more regulatory burden as help in their struggle against the establisheds ?

> Liberties of the corporations. Well, companies really need some restrictions right now. The chase for growth and profits is insane and will fuck up the majority of people and this planet pretty soon.

Libertaies are libertaies. The line of discrimination is always drawn in sand.

> You sound either like a multi-millionaire CEO or a brainwashed person who believes he's gonna be a millionaire someday. Well, guess what, if you're middle to low class, the odds you'll strike it big are quite low (and they're getting lower every year).

You just have to more successful than 50% to feel the burn. Not even that if your crossing the borders for example. Noone goes unscathed in your world.

Here's the thing with HIPAA, the entire healthcare system in the USA treats HIPAA as if it were a truck-load of nitroglycerin. They totally go over-board on its interpretation, and they're super conservative if they think they're going to have a conflict with it. We tip-toe around these regulations and in the end patients are paying for it.

Chrome blocked client certificate generation by default from version 49, I think you have to enable it specifically now and in general the process is messy (difficult to tell if your private key info is lost or where it ended up).

Firefox still works. No idea if people use it for auth, but it is popular when requesting a certificate.
Everything you said is true. However,

> And most people don't care about avoiding Google.

...if that changes, everything changes. Thats the same thing with Signal and WhatsApp. I am positively surprised how easy it is to convert people to Signal and the momentum they are gaining.

Maybe they are betting on the very long term? Tbh, I would expect a more focused marketing from Mozilla if that would be the case. I am almost as much confused as you are.

The developer Switch does appear to be different hardware, although we don't know the full extent of the differences yet.

By that time, Chevy will be shipping self-driving ones and according to the article they're going to NOT be doing that as a 40k addon.

I hope Musk has a very strong transition into a strong luxury brand. The simple truth is that there is a massive rush on personal transportation and all the small players are eager to sell to the Toyotas and Chevys of the world. These people are by and large expats from the early self-driving car projects.
