> Firefox is a massive legacy codebase that couldn't be cleaned up without breaking A LOT OF THINGS, and at every step in the process they faced people begging them not to break their things, despite the alternative being the continued rot of Firefox's internals.

I've made a couple small contributions to Firefox. Though I'd been a Firefox user for years, this never occurred to me until I looked at the source in 2015 and saw TODO comments to upgrade a C++ operation to something available in C++11 (that's C++ released in 2011) when Firefox dropped Windows XP support.

I was surprised at the time that so much of the code was ES6. My mentor pointed out that web app companies might need to wait a few years for users to mass-adopt ES6 browsers. On the other hand, Firefox can use ES6 everywhere in its own code where JS makes sense, since it's only going to be running on latest Firefox JS engine.

I think Firefox hit full ES6 compatibility first among the browsers because there was this extra incentive to modernize the codebase.

Chrome didn't have to build off of the Netscape source, so it didn't have the same legacy problems in 2008 that Firefox did. I think Mozilla has done a remarkable job keeping pace with Google, taking this into account.

Austria also has a very good social safety net, free universities and subsidized childcare - and we have very few startups, because people just don't like to take risks here.
I have heard it described like this. Suppose you want to hire some real kernel talent.

So you go to a Linux conference looking for people. When you get there the conference is crowded with idiots, advertisers, and companies. No way to find the smart people.

Now you got to a FreeBSD conference. It is almost empty but the majority of the people know what they are doing. You only need to be interesting, have a clue, and buy a beer to get all the attention you want. ;-)

The thing about quantum theory is that it's not just about propabilities. The double-slit experiment, for example, cannot be explained by adding propabilities alone. Instead the wave function gets added, with the phase considered. This is why an unobserved quantum state is more than a classical state hidden in a box and why we get results that seem paradox.

I'm curious why the LRO improvement gave such a large overall boost, as the workload should be more about sending than receiving. Are the incoming TCP ACKs or TLS control traffic so frequent that you can get 15% more total throughput with this "2 segments in one batch" driver imporvement? Naively you'd think that receiving wouldn't even be 15% of the work.

The options then (1970s) on offer were:
1) remain as a Francoist dictatorship
2) accept a new constitution with some democratic principles (but adherence to things like the unity of spain, the convenient 'forgetting' of fascist crimes and torture etc.)

Given there were no other options, and few people wanted to return to dictatorship, the new constitution was adopted. But that doesn't mean it wasn't a shotgun, Hobson's choice between dreadful and merely bad. Why should people continue to adhere to it?

I promote my developer courses on Youtube with external links and this doesn't really change anything.

It just means anyone in this position has to join the partnership program, but they can continue to NOT show ads on their channel (I don't like ads, so I don't show them on my channel).

10,000 views is honestly not a lot. If you follow any reasonable Youtube strategy for creating content, you'll reach that in no time. It's a minor inconvenience at best.

It does worry me tho, because in the future they may do other things to deter third party links.
Another Catalan here, a Catalan that has lived in Italy and France.

In the dictatorship Catalan was forbidden, but now Catalan in Catalonia is the only language used in schools (the teachers are told to only speak in that language even to the parents, search for "immersió lingüística"), the official buildings, hospital papers, and so on. Is this what you would call repression or not-democracy?

Now, in Spain other languages (I am using the word languages again) are official, and they are the language the teachers use at schools. Do you know what they call other languages in France or Italy? dialects! They are not official, of course, nor used as official languages in schools or public buildings.

So Spain is even more democratic than Italy and France in that issue, but people are complaining in Catalonia because of the adoctrination, and millions of euros spent by the Catalan government. Don't fool yourself. A referendum in a moment of maximum propaganda by the Catalan government is really democracy?

The conservative Catalan government, as the conservative Spanish government, have a lot of cases of corruption, and since all this irrationality nobody is talking about that. Last week Spain freed two Catalan politicians from the current governing party from going to jail because of the Pretoria case, but almost nobody mentioned that. Do you really thing this chaos is not premeditated?

The problem of firefox is not the desktop, it's on android where it really need to catch-up with chrome. I am not sure everything that was said here also applied to firefox for android. Also I would have done the speed comparison on mobile. The new UI of firefox and android is really ugly. It actually looks like you are in a webview.

>>It's been fascinating to watch this space rediscover the reasons that the regulations were created in the first place.

There are no regulations needed to go after fraudsters. If someone is committing fraud, they can be prosecuted under common law.

So this space is not rediscovering anything. Everyone supports fraud being prosecuted.

What everyone doesn't support is the creation of a centralized gatekeeper and a preemptive blanket ban on an entire category of digital value/information exchange, that is only lifted on a case-by-case basis if one is approved/registered by/with that gatekeeper.

In other words, people oppose a law being passed to treat non-security tokens the way securities are treated now. That would be disastrous for personal freedom and economic evolution.

> Note that some of these bugs are in an optimizer, something a security-focused package handling money shouldn't even need

Contract callers pay gas fees to execute the contract so inefficient contracts literally waste transaction fees - if anything optimizers are even more important here.

> Any claims that performance justifies the use of a home-grown language are also absurd: High-performance trading firms like Jane Street make use of verifiable functional programming languages like OCaml despite the importance of speed & latency in order to turn a profit

"Performance" in the traditional PL sense (eg "OCaml has high performance") also does not carry over directly. In traditional PL perf you'd care about cache, memory, IO, pipeline-friendliness, parallelism, all of which don't carry over to the EVM, where it's all about reducing bytecode instructions count (and hence transaction costs as well as blockchain size).

I agree that solidity as a frontend language is prerrt weird and not veey security friendly, and that using a non-solidity frontend is of course feasible, but simply using the whole toolchain of C or OCaml - not so much. These two languages in particular will even need some modification to match Solidity's Event language construct

They mention "measures restricting free and open access to the Internet", which is a gross exaggeration.

The TLD .cat has "over 100 thousand active domain names" [1], but Spanish judges have decreed the shutdown of 10 specific domains [2].

Nobody's restricting "free and open access to the Internet" in Catalonia or elsewhere in Spain; it is very confusing (or manipulative) to say so.

"We should remember that Catalonia had its own language forbidden to even speak in the street for 40 years during Franco's dictatorship."

We should remember this is a false myth. Catalan was never banned. There were many works in literature and music using Catalan as language during Franco's dictatorship (1939-1975).

For instance, you can check the full list of works that won the Lletra d'Or awards, to the best year work written in Catalan. It started in 1956. Josep Pla, one of the most importan Catalan writters won that award in 1957.

https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premi_Lletra_d%27Or

And here you can watch Joan Manuel Serrat, singing in Catalan on TVE (the Public Spanish national television). That was in 1968.

What Franco did was to ban Catalan language from public institutions.

Could be me, but the headline is confusing. I thought at first that several tens of millions intended to keep VLC ad free had been refused. Thankfully we dodged that bullet.
Service doesn’t really matter if it’s less than an hour.
Interesting observation given that I had fuel/energy get cheaper while the rest not. So it certainly depends on location.

But the point of measuring inflation is to have a specific thing/standard and match it with other years. It would not be fair to say phones got cheaper because you got your new Android-Samsung-Clone from China.

When you say clothing got cheaper, is it the same brand/item/time of the season. Your insurance got cheaper? Is it because you didn't have accidents and you got upgraded?
Awesome. Thanks a lot!

1. I'm not a venture capitalist and startups don't/can't generally accept small investments.

2. I thought they were bloody stupid ideas.

I'm not convinced that investing in ideas I think are stupid because things I have previously thought were stupid did well is a sound strategy. All it shows is I'm bad at predicting what will do well, so it makes more sense for me to invest broadly across as many markets as possible.

The legitimacy of 'Jim Crow laws' would be determined by how people voted - and presumably people would vote No. The 'legitimacy' of a referendum is related to who is trying to organise it - here it is the democratically elected government of 7.5 million people - that's why your initial 'some racist group' was a poor analogy.

Your analogy is totally invalid anyway. This vote is not equivalent to a call for racism, it's a call for self determination. The Catalonians have a fundamental moral right to self determination. From Wikipedia: The right of people to self-determination is a cardinal principle in modern international law (commonly regarded as a jus cogens rule), binding, as such, on the United Nations as authoritative interpretation of the Charter's norms. It states that a people, based on respect for the principle of equal rights and fair equality of opportunity, have the right to freely choose their sovereignty and international political status with no interference. ... self-determination entails the "moral double helix" of duality (personal right to align with a people, and the people's right to determine their politics) and mutuality (the right is as much the other's as the self’s). Thus, self-determination grants individuals the right to form "a people," which then has the right to establish an independent state, as long as they grant the same to all other individuals and peoples.
The UN have also been very clear specifically on the referendum that regardless of whatever regional or national laws there are, Spain MUST respect the fundamental rights (which trump constitutional or national laws because of their fundamental nature) of the Catalonians. The UN said '[Spain must ensure they] do not interfere with the fundamental rights to freedom of expression, assembly and association, and public participation [of the Catalonians].' They go on to be very clear "Regardless of the lawfulness of the referendum, the Spanish authorities have a responsibility to respect those rights that are essential to democratic societies”

So to be clear - according to the UN office of the high commissioner of human rights, it is the Spanish government who are acting illegally in violating the fundamental rights of the Catalonians.
A Chrome clone? How that opinion came out of you?
I'm not from there, my information comes mostly from Dutch and English media. But I've read that all public schools are all-Catalan except for the Spanish language lessons, and shops with Spanish-only signs are fined.
>Schrödinger described how one could, in principle, create a superposition in a large-scale system by making it dependent on a quantum particle that was in a superposition. He proposed a scenario with a cat in a locked steel chamber, wherein the cat's life or death depended on the state of a radioactive atom, whether it had decayed and emitted radiation or not. According to Schrödinger, the Copenhagen interpretation implies that the cat remains both alive and dead until the state is observed. Schrödinger did not wish to promote the idea of dead-and-alive cats as a serious possibility; on the contrary, he intended the example to illustrate the absurdity of the existing view of quantum mechanics. However, since Schrödinger's time, other interpretations of the mathematics of quantum mechanics have been advanced by physicists, some of which regard the "alive and dead" cat superposition as quite real.

I was taught that Schrödinger's Cat was conceived of as intentionally absurd, but that physicists loved it because it pointed out how absurd physics was being. As the other comment said, its not just that a photon might have gone through either slit, it provably went through both.
"Turn the other cheek is incompatible with an eye for an eye."

Only if you remove or add to the context in which both were given.

The principle of eye for an eye was to __restrict__ compensation to the value of the loss, where the wickedness of man would otherwise tend to overreach. One has only to see Lamech for an early example of judicial overreach: "If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold."

And if you study the Sermon on the Mount in context, you will see that Jesus was not in fact referring to the OT when he said, "you have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" but I say to you..." but rather to the Pharisees' weakening, distortion and misuse of the OT.

The historical Jesus (according to all the earliest accounts, for which there is superfluously excellent textual reliability according to textual criticism) had a very high view of the OT, and deepened the OT, see the context of the Sermon on the Mount:

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the __Pharisees__ and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven."

If I were predisposed to look for puerile contradictions in the Bible, I am sure I would find as many as I would give time, but Jesus himself saw none. I would encourage you to take Jesus more seriously.

You should really do some research before you make claims like this. One place to start would be Marvin Liebman and the American-Chilean Council, which planted pro-Chilean propaganda in several high-profile conservative press outlets.

That simpletons think that the cause for their misery are even poorer people (like immigrants etc.) is because they are told so. Unfortunately anger doesn't help thinking deeply, but it is definitely a sign that there is a problem. An therefor anger shouldn't be dismissed. Anger is like an alarm siren. Something is wrong, but just switching of the alarm is probably not the right solution.
