Sadly Firefox is going the opposite way right now, because "security".

But at the same time we have Vivaldi, a Chrome "fork", that seems to be gunning for just that.

I swear there is a disease in the FOSS world these days, one carried by SJW busy bodies. Thing is that they are not in it to actually correct social ills, but personal aggrandizement. Thus what we get are shallow platitudes and economic sinkhole projects.
Also political expedience.

Most of this is 'waste' in the more literal sense of the word, unused material. We already know of reactor types that reduce this waste, they're just seen as proliferation dangers (which is why the /military/ should operate the reactors, but with full public transparency and international monitoring in real time).
Show me a minivan with two rows of benches. AFAIK they all have captains chairs in the first two rows now.

Easy, I would switch to studying the calculator.
It has built and proven that electric cars are feasible. It has built THE trailblazing electric car. It is the iPhone of cars. All other manufacturers are now scrambling to catch up and build their own. Consequently we'll see millions of these cars. Unsure how many rockets we'll see...
Yeah, I agree here. I think each language has it's faults, and I'm not sure if Scala is the best for scripting and that sort of thing.

Personally, I try to use Groovy for any semi-complicated sort of script. It has many features that are similar to Scala, and usually ends up being very concise and readable.
It may have been crude, but his example isn't wrong. On the contrary is it not the case that sexual activity is recommended by therapists for stress relief?

Is he really implicating anything here or is this fitting a predetermined narrative you've conjured?
My current go-to is "I'd love to, but I can't because I'm folding t-shirts at that time". Humorous rejection for those who get it, passes the photocopier 'because' test which actually suffices for many, and achieves your confusion/escape route for most of the rest!
The truth is, IOT is, if not exactly, a natural monopoly, certainly something that benefits from economies of scale.

Fifty extremely experienced security engineers can come up with a pretty good IOT security infrastructure in six months.

But should EVERY company have to reinvent that wheel, somehow finding 50 extremely experienced security engineers, and making them do that?

What would work better is if the fifty extremely experienced security engineers did it once, in a way everyone can use.

I must say I do trust Google to autoupdate my Chrome (haha, as though I had a choice), and they can do anything on my computer that they want. It's not a big stretch to let them autoupdate my lightbulbs, toaster, fridge, anything else.

I think Google should get on the ball and centralize IOT security. (Uh, no, not by putting android on everything.) It would be a pretty natural fit for them and not that big of a burden.

I mean what are these small companies supposed to do? There is a natural market opening.
I didn't mention Federal money, I'm keenly aware that it's primarily funded at the local level, mostly via property taxes. I'm not sure how the funding source is relevant, though, it's still public funding one way or the other. Separation of church and state is a core American value, not only at the Federal level.
Nothing makes a guy feel old as reading about fashion...
In a very different sense, cars do use shared parts and communication mechanisms such as canbus to decrease integration difficulty and cost.

While I agree that it is not necessary for parts to connect to each other via standard mechanisms, I think the compatibility trend will increase over time. More and more parts will use standardized interfaces to each other, especially in terms of electronics, just to decrease costs.

A much better write up of this, from one of the people who actually worked on it, was posted the other day: https://theconversation.com/neuromechanics-of-flamingos-amaz...

Agree, I'm pretty sure the world could really benefit from an awesome "OpenAI-2" that is more of an application-driven AI for high-societal-impact organization. We're more focused on mitigating the existential risk associated with AGI.
The wiki linked above was established in the mid 90s by a group of practitioners who were attempting to document much of the history of software development - best practices, gotchas, etc. It was a great reference then, capturing a lot of what was otherwise being discussed on newsgroups and mailing lists. It still probably has a lot of gems.

Technically, it was the first 'wiki'.

DJB's point is certainly valid, but in practice, while I had always shared the opinion that the Big Plan of all those committees to seamlessly migrate to IPv6 seemed a bit sketchy, in reality, it's worked quite well.

Funnily, having worked on adding dual-stack support to several pieces of software and protocols, my main grips with IPv6 remain how addresses are represented to humans. Despite compression and all, I realize there was no obvious way to make addresses easier to memorize and that's basically the price to pay to have a staggering 1'500 addresses per square meter of earth.

However, and it may sound a bit silly but I still consider that the choice of ':' as a separator was an unfortunate one, I'd have a hard time listing all the nasty implications it has in terms of parsing :)

It's an oversimplification.

According to climate models, much arable farmland will be destroyed by climate change. There will be increasing pressure for protein and calories from all sources. Perhaps whales could be domesticated. If not, rapid changes in ocean energy absorption and chemistry threaten the entire food chain.

Another long-term consideration is industrial protein manufacturing to skip the risks and mess of CAFOs in Brazil and Texas, and fish feeding operations like the horrible fish farms throughout the world from Thailand to Norway. It maybe possible to greatly reduce the risk of a global pandemic if animals and people aren't kept in excesssively close proximity.

Megafauna doesn't have much hope in the Holocene extinction event. One only need to look at the odd survival of avocados which were likely to have died out as humans likely killed their primary seed distribution omni or herbivores. There is little causal data, but it's a contributing factor.

Holocene extinction will likely continue until the entire planet collapses, humans die out or kill everything that isn't or cannot be domesticated. There is simply too much energy already absorbed forcing climate change to be reversed even by redirecting all GDP into geoengineering... Greenland and Antarctica will melt over a thousand years, sea levels will rise 100 m (~300 ft).
uh, you're willfully ignoring that we don't care about the company's side of things. In this thread where someone wrote:

>> On a higher level - how much of an "already seen the algorithm" crapshot are tech interviews?

>I'd say it is mostly that. Just do thirty to fifty leetcode medium problems (some of them on pen and paper), and you're good to go.

Nobody in this thread cares if the reason this advice actually (in actual practice) often works is that the interview process is broken.

nobody cares if the reason we get the job is because we exploited a flaw, and we "shouldn't have" done it that way. Basically, where you just wrote,

>Taking a step back: If preparation can give a bad candidate a good shot at passing the interview, then that interview process is broken.

you should have written:

>Taking a step back: If preparation can give a bad candidate a good shot at passing the interview, then I have to admit, if you strictly want to increase your chances of getting a job, then you can do so by preparing -- but I grit my teeth while saying that, because that interview process is broken.

that would have been honest and matches the reason others had for the above thread! anyway, thanks for the responses.
The problem with your point is that it assumes users' are using Chrome because of its rendering speed. I don't think that's the case.
Most sawmill injuries involve splinters and worn out work gloves with holes in them.

Machinery doesn't kill people every day at Tesla nor at sawmills but considering the differences between the workplaces it's impressive that the number of little injuries at an auto manufacturer adds up to the number of little injuries in a sawmill.
Yes, but even five years ago people acknowledged that it was going to take more than five years to write a browser engine from scratch. I'm on the record as stating in ~2012 not to expect a usable Servo any sooner than 2017 at the earliest (basing my estimation on the time it took to write V8 from scratch). And that was indeed optimistic, but we are seeing bits of Servo (most importantly WebRender and Stylo) being integrated into Firefox this year.
One of the best things about ClojureScript is the build process using lein. I've had a very stable build for years now, whereas JS has had grunt, growl, webpack, etc.
"Mozilla's founding mission was to build the Web by building a browser."

I have been using the Web since 1993.

I always thought the Web had the definition given in its Wikipedia entry.

Web servers and hyperlinks.

Apparently some people believe "the Web" is actually a browser, or a small set of them.

This is like suggesting a galaxy is actually a telescope, or a small set of "standards compliant" telescopes.

Browser-centrism is truly myopic.

What is relevant is the ever expanding practice of installing web servers into all sorts of devices, not simply racks of computers in server rooms and offsite data centers.
How much do you ask of people that people brushing you off is a common occurance?
I hope they won't touch AMD. I don't trust them to do right things.
I started Firefox OS in 2011 because already back then I
was convinced that desktops and browsers were dead.
Not immediately–here we are 6 years later and both
are still around–but both are legacy technologies that
are not particularly influential going forward.

...snip...

To stick with the transportation metaphor: Google makes the
best horses in the world and they clearly won
the horse race. I just don’t think that race matters
much going forward.

It certainly doesn't matter if what you are interested in is: catching whatever the next technology wave is.

But the browser certainly still matters to all those Firefox users who switched to Chrome, and are using it every day.

"Legacy" isn't seen as sexy in tech. It might not be exciting for someone who wants to explore the next frontier or create the next platform. But, legacy is important for users (customers). Legacy is your brand. It's your influence. The foothold that will help you set the direction of what happens next. It's what you bootstrap your play in the next tech wave upon. Legacy is yesterday's hard earned success ready to be leveraged as a head start for tomorrow. (It's just important that you remember to do the leveraging part, and not just sit pretty and self-satisfied with your legacy).

Firefox's decline is abysmal and a failure of leadership.

FirefoxOS was a terrible, terrible decision.

How much influence does Mozilla really have on the direction of web if they have don't have influence on the desktop? Don't many features in mobile browsers start on the desktop browser first?

I hope whoever is in charge of Firefox now is a true believer of the power and importance of the web browser, and the desktop that it's used on, by the most influential band of users you can wish to have: creators.

Nice work, fascinating.
We're making progress in scientific fields that are still in the growth stage of their evolution. There is little reason not to believe that these fields will not soon be any more moribund than say airplane technology has been for the last 40 years.
Firefox failed to innovate and alienate developers. Refusing to implement File System API is a perfect example!

Mozilla can choose to be arrogant. Well.. guess what? We can also choose to move on without you.

Broken apps make users to switch browsers. It's that simple. Mozilla can only blame itself for the vicious cycle.
Here is my strategy: Say "No" without a reason, but give at some reasonable alternatives. I will not lie.

"No, I can't do that for you at 5pm on a Friday. I can have it for you by noon on Monday, you can ask X to do the work, or you can invent a time machine and go back 24-hours and give the work to me yesterday."
Do you suppose VMS is also vulnerable to this sort of problem? I believe ODS-2 has an analog of $MFT.
I imagine the stress level on the software engineers is equally insane and perhaps just as debilitating as the physical labor of the line workers.

It's no justification, but IMO you simply can't get where Elon is trying to go without that level of sacrifice from the people carrying the load.

Tesla apparently made a lot of basic mistakes in designing their initial production line, as you say, basic ergonomic failures. Now what we hear as they scale up for Model 3 is that it's people building machines that build cars. If there's a human actually on the Model 3 "line" then by definition it won't run fast enough. My own experience is that automation is asymptotic in that it takes orders of magnitudes more engineering to achieve progressively more "complete" automation. Not everything will be automated, and the whole line will run so hard that the parts which aren't will be absolutely brutal to keep up with. But I have absolutely zero evidence for this, it's just a hunch.
Isn't the delay from mantle entry to volcanic exit much less than 100000 years?
There's a limit of 3 commissioners from the same party. Obama followed precedent by nominating the Republicans' picks for the other 2 seats. The Democrats on the commission have consistently supported net neutrality, and the Republicans have consistently opposed it.
> They're engineers who should be testing the competition's product, and discovering the defeat devices.

But if both parties are cheating, what's the incentive to bring light to this problem?
>Beaches aren't for everyone.

Yeah, for me it's fishing or hunting...requiring a total disengagement from technology and (most) people.

Beaches are fun, but I wouldn't consider them a truly contemplative vacation unless it's some super expensive, exclusive, far away place...and like you said that's not for everyone.
It started in 2012. It was a total toy for most of that year, though. I would barely consider it a real engineering project in that state--heck, for quite a while it was a readme and nothing else :)
I got the order backwards: Erlang (1981) became Joe Armstrong's dissertation (2003).
Having read through this, it strikes me as a version of the change that takes place in Pierre Bezhukov in War and Peace after his captivity. One saves time by not having to read a thousand pages to get to it; one loses something also, given that those thousand pages are of War and Peace.
I would add also that people will be more grateful when you offer your help, and that will help you feel more appreciated.

I currently have zero hope that Google voice calls will ever be reimplemented to work on Firefox again.
What's interesting is that for me Clojure was my first lisp. One of the main reasons I never learned lisp before Clojure was all the parens that made the language impossible to read. Clojure cleans up the "normal" lisp syntax quite a bit, and that made it a lot more palatable.

Beauty is in the eye, and all that, but CL code still makes me want to claw my eyes out.
It makes no sense to put it in 1 language. put any sort of signage in at least 5-10 languages. and also use a linguist to determine the right set of words to warn of danger. that text is extremely ambiguous. also pictographs are probably much more universal than anything to do with words.
UI Designer Salary Research in the United States in 2017
The way they are now, I'm not sure. High NOx emissions I'm guessing, plus a warning light on the dashboard. But my proposal is to make the car stop operating if the tank is empty, just like it stops operating if your fuel tank is empty, and just make sure the dashboard light (or better yet some alphanumeric display or infotainment system display) gives ample warning to the driver that they need to refill it. I see Blue DEF sold in gas stations all the time, so it's not like it's hard to acquire.

And again, I'm not even sure I'm that well informed, I could very well be mistaken and over-simplifying things. If that's the case, I hope someone will correct me, but so far no one's said anything, but that's why I put that disclaimer in there several times.
But there is more than just web browsing. Microsoft owned the entire platform at one point.
I love it when people make this argument. The IPv6 adoption hurdle is NOT the usability of v6 addresses. 99% of the world thinks that IPv4 addresses are a horrorshow and would never bother to memorize one or even write one down. They use DNS because they are human beings. The layout of the address behind the DNS they couldn't care less about.
Using an entirely different language because you don't want to use the macro features of the language you are using to modify a small detail due to it feeling "a bit gauche" seems much more extreme to me than just making that change... FWIW, I work with an old-school Lisp/Scheme hacker who learned at MIT and worked with some of "the greats", and he has often argued that if I really wanted Lisp to look like anything I said I liked that day I should have just done that with Lisp as at least then we would be using the same underlying execution engine, and he never seemed to feel it was "a bit gauche".
No, I'm not actually assuming that, because I realize there is only negligible difference between major browsers today in terms of rendering performance, and none can approach the rendering performance of native UI frameworks on mobile.

But I am assuming that a browser offering a gigantic leap in UX through native-like rendering performance will entice web app developers to recommend that browser over others, because it's nigh impossible to build a consistently 60fps non trivial app with native-like interactions and transitions on the web today, while Servo and Webrender aim to make 60fps on the web the norm rather than the exception.
Android Kotlin – Lateinit
It's not standard and wasn't a standard. Why is it 'arrogant' not to implement it? Incidentally, they did. About... a year ago or so?

This is great! Thanks for educating me :-)
By generating the "code" are you merely inferring / representing UI layout as some kind of a tree. E.g. each button/panel/textbox gets detected, and an "RNN/LSTM" generate a tree structure using attention.
Seems similar to the philosophy of Ayn Rand, depicted in her novels (for example Atlas Shrugged). She does take the "selfish" theme a touch more radically though.
Reagent is the best ClojureScript implementation of React out there. The nice thing about it is that you can do very interesting things with Reagent without ever writing a component as a React class. There is, of course, a way to do that simply with create-class. Another great thing about Reagent is how simple it is to convert a pure Javascript React component with adapt-react-class. I also really like Reagent atoms. Reagent atom cursors alone are worth it to include this library in your build! Reagent is the killer app for ClojureScript, I use it in just about every one of my ClojureScript projects.
Seems a bit unfair. Go player study games of other players too, they don't just rely on personal experience.

Comparative Constitutions Project- Read, Search, and Compare Constitutions
Interesting find. :)
Major browser engines all have about 20 years of development history. Web specs are ever growing and piled higher and higher. Major web browsers have large engineering team and lot resources. It's unlikely Servo can catch up.
This is why vitrification was abandoned as a disposal mechanism. There are a number of interesting papers on how it would work well (example http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022311513...) however it makes it essentially impossible to reprocess fuel so disposed. Sad really.
Thanks for the heads up, essayist. Will be much more careful not to flood the forum with duplicates next time.
Google has for years paid Adobe to bundle Chrome in the Flash plugin installer on Windows. Imagine: a Firefox or IE user visits a website that needs Flash, so they download Adobe's installer. Because they are eager to get back to that Flash website or they don't read the installer's fine print, they don't realize they need to opt out of the "Make Chrome my new default browser" checkbox. Ironically Chrome bundles its own Flash PPAPI plugin, so the Firefox or IE user has now downloaded two Flash plugins but won't actually use the one they downloaded from adobe.com. This has probably been a long, slow leak of Firefox users to Chrome and a hole that should have been plugged.
I just finished watching this talk "ClojureScript for Skeptics" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsffg5xxFQI) that laid out the pros of ClojureScript and completely sold me on trying it out. Weird seeing this article about Clojure dying right after, too.

In this talk I watched, the speaker argues for ClojureScript for SPAs because it has:
* an excellent standard library (great functional programming so no need for lodash or other hacks, no issues with things like map(Integer.parse), solid date support, etc)
* Go-level easy concurrency
* Immutable types built-in for a fast React experience (immutable.js by default)
* built-in Google Closure Compiler for optimizing, (also with sourcemaps and devtools)
* built-in tree-shaking (only import what you use) from Google Closure Compiler
* built-in code-splitting (don't import the code for the settings page on the home page, automatically load it when the user goes there), also from Google Closure Compiler

And the talk is from 2015! So there's probably been even more added I don't know about yet.

Then again, in 2017 I feel like we have an embarrassment of riches of programming languages. I'm already playing around with Elixir (loving it), wanna try out Rust's zero-cost everythings, and have finally finishing learning Haskell on my back burner.
Every time someone mentions Zuck running for president I think of this clip from the code conference where he's asked about privacy and he just about faints. Obviously he has matured since then but I just wonder how he could hold up in a debate.

I use Firefox and haven't run into this problem. I guess I've been lucky. Why Firefox rather than Chrome? On my Google Chromebook (original Pixel), Chrome (the last versions I tried) are almost completely unusable - it hogs all the CPU until it crawls to a stop and needs to be killed. Even if they fix that, I'm not going back, however, because Firefox's handling of text is so immensely superior. It was bad years ago¹ and it's still terrible. One contemporary example: hyphenation support.
