VDPAU existing since 2008 isn't the main thing.

The main problem is that in order to have a benefit from decoding in the GPU, the frame needs to be displayed on the GPU without reading it into CPU-addressable memory.

The video frame needs to participate in the compositing of the whole Web page, which means the simpler approaches that video player-only apps can used aren't really available. Rather, it's necessary to be able to treat the video frame as some kind of OpenGL surface.

However, the Linux graphics drivers situation being as messy as it is, Firefox doesn't yet enable OpenGL compositing by default on Linux.

So getting Firefox to composite the Web page using OpenGL by default on Linux is the big prerequisite.

I don't work on graphics, so I don't really know what I'm talking about in this sentence, but I'm hopeful that Wayland will eventually force Linux into the Mac-like situation where some baseline of OpenGL support can be assumed to be available and working just because the windowing system wouldn't work otherwise.

Sadly, due to LTS distros, it will take a while for various legacy configurations to get upgraded out of the ecosystem.

I believe that nowadays - at least in developed countries - you can have a stable income way above average as a tradesman. The shortage of reliable people in these areas is unbelieavable. As an anecdote I knew a self-employed poolboy that before crisis was earning more than most managers.

According my experience (I used to help my father during work peaks) I think that we arrived here because ALL talent is nowadays directed to academia. To complicate the situation this is not easily undone, once people get used to be intellectually challenged they see trades as a terribly boring job. And don't forget the stigma..
Silicon Valley blasts Senate proposal to tax startup options

Bill Gates Intends to Build New Technological City in Arizona Desert
Getting a few downvotes for this comment but my point is I think it's too simplistic to frame it as options are junk, it's a rigged lotto for naive young guns yada yada. Sure, the stats aren't great but if you're young, talented, looking for a thrill and aware how the game is stacked, I don't think options/RSUs are bad 100% of the time.

Personally, I'd like that road to always exist and make the choice myself rather than having it disappear from the tech scene completely. I personally know more people that have done well out of startup stock grants than I do earning >$500K in tech.

A lot of the US's problems with share options could be solved with saner tax. It seems bonkers to me that you are taxed when you exercise rather than when you sell.
I'm a little bit confused about these applications' security model. Normally I'd want whatever secrets are kept by these apps never to leak in the iCloud backups (secure enclave storage? I don't know). Do they do this or do they do something else? I see that some apps boast about iCloud integration. That is certainly something I don't want. But for the others that don't have iCloud integration, isn't the secure data backed in iCloud as part of the (daily?) device backup?

Also, if they don't have iCloud integration, how do you switch devices?

Thanks!
> I think Google, Apple, Samsung et.al should be upfront on when they plan to end of life (EOL) their devices.

iOS 11 (released in 2017) is compatible with these devices [1]:

- iPhone 5s (released on September 20, 2013)

- iPad mini 2 (released on November 12, 2013)

- iPod touch 6th generation (released on July 15, 2015)

Apple doesn't have to be upfront. Apple users know that the support lasts for years (iOS 10 was released in 2016 and oldest supported device was from 2012, iOS 9: 2015 and 2011, previous versions would usually support three-year old devices).

It's much simpler.

The OEM never releases the source.

And courts have decided that it's not enough if you have some contributions to the kernel yourself or are a user to force them to release it, you have to have made significant contributions to force them to release it via the courts.

And Torvalds and the major kernel maintainers all refuse to enforce the GPL, and actively campaign against doing so.
That "worst case scenario" isn't that hard to achieve. But maybe the only thing stopping something like that from happening is, ironically, the OEM fragmentation which screws up a lot of code related to gaining root or lock screens and similar.

All of which is more room for playing politics, rather than the purpose which seemed obvious to me - a statement that a state is in the process of leaving the EU, which allows for a period of time for parties to negotiate the most advantageous future relationship for both of them.

Of course I can figure out the misleading advertising from property developers, it's common knowledge and has been going on for decades. If I become interested in buying a place one day, I'll look up planning permissions around the area and judge the risk of the neighbourhood changing.

But that doesn't mean that we should accept or approve misleading advertising.

It's not even a case of "who knows what might happen here in the future" - they keep advertising the views when they themselves are building in front of it, and the basement has already been poured.

I tried Android Nightly but there are still 2 small yet noticeable things Mozilla should improve (which are not at all linked to the page rendering in itself) - when it's done, it could really rival Chromium-based browsers:

- when you swipe fast, the page only scrolls by like 30%, instead of scrolling by 200% like in Chromium browsers. Basically it's impossible to quickly scroll a long page on Firefox (maybe it's configurable somehow in about:config?)

- when you long-press a link, it takes like 2-3 seconds for the menu to open. As I "open in new tab" by default, this quickly adds up.

I'm guessing it makes sense as a rough way to limit infectious deceases. You need only look to China to see how far something like AIDS can spread if you don't do blood donations right. If I recalls correctly they infected something like 50k people by accident.

Notice, that the next infectious decease like AIDS might not have been discovered yet. Hence, why a lot of precautions around blood donations makes sense.

Robots would arguably be better an enforcing law and order.

The troubles people fear come from where the people creating and implementing law become increasingly disconnected from the enforcement, and removing people from enforcement removes a feedback from 'the ground'. A person can refuse to enforce what it perceives to be an unjust law. A union can band together and refuse to do certain things.

That can happen with robots as well, but the requirements for cooperation are lower. Fewer bad actors are required to achieve a super-bad goal. Imagine the entire police force controlled by one person. The entire army. Would that be good?

If you answer is no, or "maybe, it depends" then you also appreciate the unease that people feel about increased concentration of power that could come from automation.

Speaking of firefox and macOS integration, does anyone know why they don't support pinch to zoom like chrome and safari do? I tried looking this up, but can't find any specific answers.
> exiled Chrome to an "only when needed" role

It's been my second browser for Twitch and Netflix only for a while now. I'm bit even sure how useful that is anymore if I'm honest as I've not tried them in firefox for a while - but they used to be unusable and I've become accustomed to having another browser for them

Not really anymore. Mozilla has been doing a lot here in recent months, too. The foundation for most of these performance improvements is the recent introduction of multiprocess, which also allowed them to introduce sandboxing in many more places.

To my knowledge, the only bigger architectural difference now is that Chrome sandboxes each tab individually, unless they're from the same domain as another tab, whereas Firefox by default only uses as many processes as you have CPU cores and then round-robins your tabs among those.

This is for performance reasons: You still get almost the same parallelism, but much less RAM usage especially with lots of tabs, and then that free RAM can again be used to speed things up elsewhere.

You can however configure this. Set dom.ipc.processCount in about:config to as many processes as you want to maximally use. If you set it to a really high number, like 1000, then it will create a new process for each tab (until you open your 1001st tab) and those will then all be individually sandboxed.

Another big security difference were extensions. Firefox previously with the classic Linux approach of "If it's installed, it's trusted".

Now they have the same extension model as Chrome with a number of additional APIs. Those APIs are potential security holes, but also allow the implementation of better security, for example NoScript is being ported to Firefox 57, still can't be ported to Chrome.

Well, and then going away from the model itself, Mozilla enables much better security on the extension side, again with the Linux approach, by reviewing extensions and extension updates before they allow the publication. I'd have no concern with my mum installing whatever extension she wants in her Firefox. With Chrome, I would be concerned.

Lastly, only some of us are security super humans. Chrome always gives an option for security to calm security people, but if it benefits Google, they'll leave this option off by default, even if it should clearly be default on.

For example Sync in Firefox is end-to-end-encrypted by default. Only one password needed. In Chrome, it's not. Because Google wants to evaluate your browsing history, bookmarks etc. You can have E2EE, but you need to separately enable it and use a second password for it.

Again, fine for security super humans, but the fewest of us understand browsers enough to know about all potential security holes and we simply do need to rely on browser vendors for our own security.

Don't think Google has actually fixed that Auto-Fill phishing attack either yet, which comes up around here every half year or so.

You'd also lose most of the information. If there is only a single active neuron among the inputs to a Gaussian kernel neuron, you would at least have info about the distance of that to the center of the receptive field, but no directionality. If there are multiple active neurons among the inputs, you'd lose most distance-to-center info. Basically imagine avg pooling as spatial downsampling by box filter or surface area integration, and Gaussian pooling as downsampling by Gaussian filtering.

When it comes to many antipsychotic medications patients suffer from the side effects of taking their medications.

---

So I'm a little curious why an article on monitoring compliance digitally only talks to patients who are very very unlikely to be noncompliant.

Then there's this misstatement:

"Many patients with these conditions do not take medication regularly, often with severe consequences."

These people take this medication daily. They may miss a day or two and not notice. Longer periods, they would notice the slow return of phobias or irrational thoughts and realize they had been missing their medication and start taking it again.

For those admitted to the hospital or having a history of severe mental illnesses:

People wonder why anyone would stop taking the medications and relapse. I have no proof but think the treatment can be worse than the disease.
