Yeah, Android Firefox uses the native Android UI toolkit. A long time ago, they had it in XUL, which allowed for some really nice customization and just in general a more conform behaviour with the desktop browser, but performance back then was really just terrible, so that's why they changed it to the native Android UI toolkit.
Totally agree there, sometimes there is room for learning and mistakes but not everything must become a learning opportunity otherwise nothing will get done.

I'm currently raising a toddler and find great parallels there compared to coaching a junior. It's always good to explain why something is bad/wrong to my kids and allow them to learn. But if w're in the middle of crossing the road that's not the time and place.

There are so many events in life that shape us, looking back at myself at my earlier career I can't understand how I got where I am now with how stupid I was then and the opinions I held.

I think it has a great deal to do with being able to see things in a different way and having the experience to be open for certain ideas. But I currently still have a hard time at recognising this in myself or others. And allow to know when you can go for the next step.
I feel this the most when I'm coming home from the airport. I just spent 24 hours on a plane. The last thing I want to do is make small talk with a cab driver, but I'd feel rude not-doing it.
> I get that the most direct way of learning is to make mistakes and learn from those. But there's an easier way too. Read books, talk to people, get the benefit of others experience without needing to make those same mistakes again.

> We don't go about individually discovering why modular design is a good thing, or why at certain scales microservices are a better option. We do the research, talk to others, and figure out that the general consensus is a reasonable one that we can use.

> I think we need to do a better job at explaining why something is a bad idea to junior developers. Learn to see things from their perspective, and communicate in a way that relates to their experience rather than ours.

Not everyone learns the same. Some people may learn significantly faster and/or more effectively if they are allowed to make mistakes - to see/experience the difference. I think this a good approach for simple problems. However, if the problem is highly complex and time consuming, its not as practical as the time cost to redo, as the work is too high. Thats where you do the research and reading. It requires a balance.

I don't know for sure, but I heavily doubt it, as it would open up so many potential security holes.

The standard way to access files for extensions seems to be with Native Messaging: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Na...

Basically make the user install a small program on their PC, then your extension talks to that program, the program reads out the file that you need and then hands it back to your extension.

Not doing anything also risks fucking up something in the process: customers' money because of the lack of security.
But assuming that staying within "accepted standards" for secutiry indemnifies the bank, it's obvious that they shouldn't care about lost savings.
In case shit hits the fan, they would be covered, and it's the problem of the customer.

I'd like to be proven wrong here - that banks take responsibility for behind-the-curve security practices.

Yea physicists are in a weird spot when it comes to inertia. Everyone’s heard of it but it’s not real. To say something has mass is to say it requires a force to move it which is what we call inertia. And also the E=m equivalence isn’t as simple as may be believed. The famous equivalence is cutting out a piece that is important when talking about photons.
The real way a senior engineer trains juniors is by selecting appropriate work. They thread the needle of a number of factors: it needs to be done, its within reach, will build their skills, will educate them on product/business/process, they will find rewarding, will give ownership, relevant staff can support them etc. These factors are so important that the senior engineer might need to negotiate with the product manager to bring appropriate work forward to avoid failure or killing the enthusiasm of the junior.

What can't really happen is for a junior to suggest work. The experience and context they lack is for the business, the user and the strategy. The junior's biases for what they think matters are usually much worse that the senior's for what works e.g. they want to improve cosmetic factors or add cool features. Its not that they are wrong, the product might be offensively ugly and the cool features might be game changers, but professional development is a parade of gut wrenching compromises because the constraint is time and resources not imagination and ambition.

That said, I agree with the thrust of the article - the risk of senior engineers "fighting the last war" and accruing a set of limiting beliefs is very real and the naive optimism of a junior challenging them is part of the value they bring.

I don't understand this question. You mean, are AWS, the credit card institution and the customs also using TTY devices? Sorry, no.

And since texting (mobile short message service) TTY slowly went out of use, at least here in Switzerland. I still own a TTY device, however I haven't used it for more than ten years.

An interesting technical tidbit here: My TTY is using V.21, however with only one channel and with 110 baud. I researched the TTY with recording on a sound card and analysing the tones. Bit 0 is represented by a sinus wave of 1180Hz, 1 by 980Hz with a duration of 9.1ms each. A byte was transferred with 10 bits (total duration 91ms), 1 bit was a stop bit and the other one a parity bit (I am not sure, I forgot some details). Additionally there was a carrier tone at 1080Hz which was held for about 3 seconds after the last byte has been sent.

This means it was not possible that both parties simultaneously send. We had a convention that the other party is allowed to answer when we type two asterisks.

A phone relay service in Switzerland still continues to use this convention in their JavaScript application. It is a simulation of the old TTY device they sold to people. I think they had to use websockets because every letter is sent to the other party right away.
That is a valid point. But to give context, the discussion I refer to was about whether there are reasons to keep small languages alive. And my opponents argument was that losing a languagle loses also ways to think, whereas my argument was that language is to a very good approximation means to communicate, nothing more, nothing less. so there is no reason to keep small languages alive. (My native language is a relatively small language)

I an a fan of French press as well and I've found the aeropress to be a great substitute with both health benefits (paper filter) and ease of use (cleaning is easier than a press). It's also measurably improved my cholesterol. YMMV, hopefully obviously.

Ask HN: Any payment gateways for a UK gambling website?
I've been commissioned to build a website for a UK gambling website for a while now. We're gearing up for launch in the first quarter of next year but at the minute we're struggling with getting a payment gateway on board. Skrill is supposedly good for gambling companies but they wouldn't except the companies application. We've tried others like Brain Tree and Cash Free (which I believe I saw featured on HN) but also no takers.

Has any body done something similar to this and experienced similar issues? Do any one have suggestions for gateways to try?

Just to note, my involvement in sorting out a payment gateway is to just suggest platforms and answer technical questions. The MD of the company I am working for sorts the rest of the application.
Yes, it does. Have a look at the bot.
How much ever we talk about the engineering and technological aspects of this. I think this project still warrants a discussion into the intricacies of the human psychology that goes behind a city/township. Basically, the UI/UX of this whole project.
"Counterproductive" is a normal English word unrelated to "productivity". Taking an action is counterproductive if it leaves you worse off than you would have been if you hadn't done it.

Note that the only definition of "counterproductive" here ( https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/counterproductive ) is "tending to hinder the attainment of a desired goal".
French press is filtered; the filter is just coarser than a paper filter, though the grind is typically coarser as well.
In my experience, typically the junior's suggestion can possibly be done. However it often would be complicated to implement well, and I would be concerned how long it would take the junior to complete (if they would complete it satisfactorily at all). So, I agree with the suggestions that it is often more productive if a senior engineer suggests appropriate work.
> If you have a server side application that you hope to be successful then the code will be running all the time and you will pay the price literally because cloud hosting services charge for CPU and RAM usage, which will be off the charts if your server is in Python.

Your hosting fees are a tiny fraction of your expenses. Development time is worth a lot more.

> Not to mention all the time you will spend firefighting the performance issues that will inevitably arise. Which also literally costs money in terms of developer salaries and opportunity cost (you can't spend that time to develop new features).

Scaling is a nice problem to have. If you get to the point where you actually need to improve performance, you'll be able to afford to spend time on it.

FWIW many of the unified characters under Han unification are considered "wrong" specifically in Japan (in other CJK countries folks seem to be more lax). From what I understand the feeling is as if you started writing `s` as `ſ` in English.

I'm not very sure of this but it seems like the Japanese characters mostly stayed the same after branching off of Hanzi usage at various points many centuries ago (more than a millenium ago, actually), whereas in China these characters evolved.

There are certainly many subtleties.

For example, I said E=M. But that's for objects at rest. For an object in motion it's E^2=m^2c^4+p^2c^2. In natural units that turns into E=m+p. The energy of a photon is hf, where h is Planck's constant and f is the frequency. That energy is entirely the photon's momentum. And that's without getting into the issues of invariant mass or relativistic mass increases...
The one true religion disguised as a complicated joke.
You're misunderstanding the terms a bit. Salting is only done once because it's a random string you apply to the users password so that if two users use the same password they do not result in the same hash. This is primarily meant to combat pre-generated rainbow tables and forcing each password to be broken individually.

You're thinking of multiple rounds of hashing, designed to increase the computation cost of the hashing. For example Bcrypt has a built in cost factor. While this is definitely important it's not quite the same as salting.
GC development is not standing still. Oracle claims sub 10ms pause times and terabyte heaps their new ZGC. And there are good pauseless or almost pauseless alternatives from other vendors as well.

Visual Snow is a condition which very few people are aware of (including the doctors). I still remember the day I started experiencing the snow. It was a sudden trigger. I couldn't stop noticing it for an year mainly because I was scared whether I am going to be blind. I went to atleast 4 or 5 doctors and no one found any problem with my eyes and I often got ridiculed by friends for making up something which I apparently don't have according to the doctors.
I came to know about visual snow after an year from Internet and I realised that many other people have this and they also had a similar experience as mine.

Ask HN: Do you like to code when you're drunk?
My own country has a prohibition on alcohol so I used to drink to get drunk. I used to smoke a lot of weed until I learnt to code, because, for me, weed messes my code up and makes me stupid, so I stopped smoking up.

Eventually, I built something that led to an international incubation where I discovered the joys of mild drinking socially. And eventually I started drinking mildly with code.

When I moved back to my country, I didn't drink at all unless I did it socially for a year. At some point I got tired and went overseas on vacation and drank while I coded. I loved it so much that now I drink neat whiskey while I code in my own country.

Yes, I'm likely to easily develop a drinking problem. Apart from that though.. do you drink while you code? I don't blackout drunk. And I don't start drinking until the evening, but I feel as though the alcohol makes me more numb to anything except my text editor, limits my attention to the tests and my app.

Also, since my code is reviewed by other people and myself, I can say with certainty that my code quality is always great!

China to make first contact with ALIEN Life using world's largest dish
First time I was out of Italy I literally could not believe the price of coffee. And people could not believe me, when I told them how much cheaper it was in Italy.
We’re talking 40 cents vs $2 (recent example I remember both prices for the same year, circa 2011).
So yeah - depends on the country, or whether you make it yourself, coffee can be extremely cheap. No correlation between consumption and wealth (esp. in countries like Italy where literallly everyone drinks it)
While reading that I also got confused between 犬 (which I haven't encountered before) and 太 (which I have). Though that's just my lack of vocabulary. Still, it's pretty hard to tell these apart as a learner since it's not always clear which parts of a glyph are the important features.

My favorite one of these "look the same but aren't" pairs is 土 & 士 which differ only by the relative lengths of the upper and lower stroke. There's also 囗 and 口, which differ slightly in size but more importantly in the hooking of the second stroke; except half the fonts don't display that; and certainly not at the small font size I keep English text at (which is why I've tweaked the font-size for Chinese in my browser). It would be even more confusing when they get used as radicals except 囗 is always used to surround a glyph, whereas 口 is used squished up the "regular" way as in your example.
Wouldn't that match this study?

Low income Americans driink either a lot or not any coffee at all. High income Americans drink some coffee.

So you would expect no coffee consumption and high coffee consumption to correlate with a higher risk than moderate consumption. This is exactly what the study found.
> But if it can predict animation frames perfectly (it cannot), it is practically a game engine (for that particular game).

No, it isn't - just like the subject in the Chinese room experiment cannot understand Chinese yet is able to reply with perfect language to given input.
