I've switched over, and I'm loving it so far. The dark theme looks great, and it's as quick as Chrome for me.

The only major downsides for me so far are:

* I have a lot of bookbarks on my toolbar that I ported over from Chrome, and they're pretty squashed together on Firefox. A bit of extra spacing would work wonders.

* Downloads being in a separate window near the top of the browser. I miss being able to visually see my downloads on the bottom, and having to deal with them when they were finished.

* The separate bars for address and search, especially when the address bar basically does search for you anyway.

* The dev tools. I was a huge Firebug fan, but when the dev jumped over to Chrome their dev tools became much better, and Firefox's native tools were far worse than before. They've caught up, but Chrome still feels years ahead of them in this regard.

Given the scale at which demonetization seems to be occurring, one would expect the evidence to be obvious: videos espousing an explicit ideological point of view would be demonetized, and those expressing the opposite ideology, or none at all, would not.

If you read about and watch content related to the issue you'll likely fail to notice such a pattern. If demonetization were merely about suppressing right-wing content, then why would Google also demonetize let's players, reviewers, vloggers like Hank Green (who would doubtless be considered "left wing"), anime channels, commercial and apolitical channels as well? The proof appears to be disproved by contradiction.

It is possible for ideology to affect demonetization, but not in the obvious sense that right-wingers mean (that of Google, being a "liberal" company, simply choosing to harass them.) The motives of advertisers are what is important here, and Google's desperation to make an unprofitable platform profitable and competitive.

This is hardly the first time a change in Youtube's algorithm has had major consequences for types of content and revenue - see Ross' video on the future of animation on Youtube[0] for instance... did Google have a political agenda against animated content on Youtube? No, and neither is it likely that Google's current monetization scheme is intended to suppress a particular kind of content as much as any content advertisers might consider unfriendly, which just happens to include content intended to be provocative, anti-establishment or controversial as a set.

Is it possible? Sure. Is it likely? No, at least not as a primary motivating factor. Is there evidence for it? Nothing objective, in my opinion. I would suggest that you do your own research and make up your own mind.

It gets really slow if you dump large files in it. That was the drop that made me switch to git. Otherwise I used fossil for my own little tinkering for years.
Not sure why you are being downvoted, but as someone who did try deleting an appleid, there is no self service way of doing so. Basically ended up removing all possible data; and filling the rest with fake values. Finally I changed the password to some random string. Not sure how much aux/opaque data remains that I could not see (eg location services), but this was secondary throwaway account, so I didnt care much.
There's quite a few packages that will do something like this in possibly more efficient (parallel!) and structured way.

In RHEL7/Centos7 for example there is dsh, mpssh, mussh and of course Ansible (mentioned)

(I'd like to see a mention of why he chose StrictHostKeyChecking=no)
When it comes to the internet, I’ve already paid my ISP for the delivery of those packets.

If package delivery was something I’d already paid my Package Delivery Provider (PDP) for. Packed Delivery Neutrality would mean:

- I wouldn’t want them picking and choosing who I got my packages from.

- If my PSP also sold goods, I wouldn’t want them purposely slowing down packages come from a competitor.

My point is more that it’s not amazing, just something most people wouldn’t notice or think to try. Chalkboards were possible but harder, I think because of the distance—you don’t get the frequencies that don’t carry as well across a room. I could never really do it with whiteboards because they’re much quieter. And yeah, “clean your room” was definitely a safe bet, haha, then again we rely on context all the time when listening to speech too.
Yeah right. I appear to be the only one who visit the NSFW subreddits ;/
Yeah. Plus things like quickpkg (make a backup of your older installed package whose version may no longer be in the tree), demerge (record states of installed packages and configs over time), slots (conflicting pkg versions like gtk2 and gtk3 being installed at the same time) all make for more niceness.

It's definitely possible to go overboard and get into trouble. But there's a lot to help. And with gentoo I was able to weather the gnome3/systemd madness and keep that stuff off my system despite having to keep around old gnome2 and udev packages until mate, eudev, etc. were ready. I don't know too much about Arch except the pain stories friends have relayed as they eventually gave up and switched to something else. Back when Arch decided to make Python 3 the default python well before it was ready someone on IRC quipped "<dash> well that confirms my impression that arch was invented by a bunch of guys who thought gentoo was too stable and easy to use".
Stupid, right? Why don't they just use a Postgres database?
It's not just about who knows more about security. It's a trade-off, and you need to account for other factors like cost, availability/uptime, data integrity, total attack surface area and others. Honestly, I'm surprised this is such a controversial point of view, but judging by the downvotes it appears it is. You learn something new every day, I guess.

Based on numbers [0] released by both companies over the summer, Spotify has twice as many subscribers as Apple Music does.

Surely their having achieved this with limited market reach is positive for them, and not for Apple?

I'm not delighted, I'm pissed off that Apple is the best choice (having no devices aside) for someone that would like the keep their basic rights to private life.

I considered using Android devices, and had to concede that I have neither the time nor the skill to remove all the spyware added by very motivated and skilled Google engineers. It's a losing battle. So I decided to compromise on my freedom to control "my" device.

This decision is not for everybody. But using plain Android should not be for anybody, people deserve better than a peeping tom like Google.
I guess the profitable part comes from the fact that 4000 out of 18,000 people in the town work for the mine. If they closed the mine, the town would die anyway.
This link goes to the main Hapi.js website which doesn't really explain much about what's new in v17. From the release notes [0]:

"hapi v17.0.0 is a major new version of the framework.... The main change and the motivation for this release is replacing callbacks with a fully async/await interface."

I've never used Hapi.js before, but since hearing about how "async/await" support has been implemented I'm definitely going to look into it more.

Apple scientists disclose self-driving car research
Somewhat a tangent, but "How evil is tech" is a nice Trumpian headline. Looks like NYT is catching up with the times.

By formulating is like this, NYT implies that everybody agrees that "tech" is evil to some extent, and that the only discussion is about exactly how evil "tech" is. Don't forget that NYT is in pretty direct competition with some companies they call "tech". This article is not unlike Coca-Cola publishing a press release titled "How evil is Pepsi?".

(Note, I did not share any opinion about whether "tech" is evil and I don't necessarily disagree with the premise of the article. I'm just trying to highlight that this kind of writing appears to be the new baseline and it's not just fake news and the alt right who do it anymore and that bothers the crap out of me because I feel like I can't trust anyone anymore)

Yeah, but hopefully they can't do much if they just have your code base. If the secrecy of your code is the only thing stopping hackers from exploiting you, you're missing some gaping holes in your infrastructure. With that said, nothing wrong with using secrecy as a additional barrier, but shouldn't be the only, and if it's not the only, you're not "so owned at that point".

Ask HN: What is your preferred JavaScript bundler, and why
With the plethora of JS bundlers, it seems hard to know why to choose one over the other. Webpack configuration is still as complex as ever, and each new version breaks my carefully constructed build tooling, especially when used with TypeScript

What have you found to be a reasonable simple, stable, and yet powerful JS module bundler that is friendly to TypeScript? And what is the current state of native modules feature of ES6?

Is SystemJS a standard here? As far as possible, I would like to stick to standards that are likely to be supported out-of-the-box by major browsers.

I went vegetarian a couple of years ago, and friends keep asking me whether it's been hard to adjust.

Truth is, 99% of any difficulties have been social rather than related to my own appetite.

Giving up meat in itself was much easier than I expected, but I still haven't become comfortable with people quizzing me about my reasons.

Even when people are well-meaning and genuinely curious, they always end up asking these questions just when you're having a meal together. It's hard not to come off as preachy when you're talking about farming practices at the exact moment when steaming plates of meat arrive at the table!

Then there's the thing of going to someone's home and having them make different food for you. Even if they're super nice about it, I still feel like a bit of a burden.

It's reinforced my respect for vegans. Being a vegan while having an active social life takes a strength of character and bloody-mindedness that I don't think I have.
This is sort of like the QWERTY keyboard layout: originally designed to slow down typists so they wouldn't type faster than the typewriters of the day could handle. That constraint is now long obsolete, yet we're still stuck with it.

The application that really showcases what TFA calls the "camout" feature is drywall. A drywall installer will keep the screwgun turning, and every time he punches the gun into the drywall, a new screw is pushed off the belt. The screw is driven until the gun hits its stop (a sliding mechanism that controls how close the gun can get to the drywall) and the screw naturally slips out when it's at the proper depth. This is important because drywall is quite fragile and otherwise it would be easy to drive a screw too far.

> The news industry invented the 24 hour news cycle

It was enabled by technology. There was channel scarcity with broadcast. Cable, and all of its enabling technologies, added abundance allowing space for some channels to completely dedicated themselves to news.

I said "enabled" but we could even say it was "technologically determined." It's hard to imagine a world with abundant channels where that wouldn't have happened.
Firstly, Apple is rumoured to have acquired Vrvana which makes AR/VR headsets.

As for voice well it has been the next best thing for decades. And it still to this day does not work well. There is no fluidity to conversations, it doesn't completely understand accents, it fails to properly factor in context and the range of actions is limited.

For me it's at least another 20 years away from being what people expect if it is possible at all in our lifetimes. Also the far more interesting problem for me is how do you build an API for a voice system e.g. Siri without forcing it back into a 90s style voice actions system like it is today.

I can relate to this, except the last sentence. Taking advantage of the privilege of living in a society where meat alternatives and other sources of
protein are abundant, my delayed reaction to witnessing animal slaughter was to quit eating animal products altogether. The only real cost of it has been in dealing with colleagues in the UK, who enjoy questioning me about my dietary choices (at best), or persistently try to convince me to eat meat (at worst).
> Also I demonstrated that FreeBSD + ZFS behaves the same as Linux on my system.

No, you didn't. You attempted that, but you failed miserably by not
including the most important piece of information: primary group of your
shell.

No, it was ZFS, as I stated clearly elsewhere. No options from me whatsoever.

> I'll I'm saying is that I don't agree with you that this behavior is OS-specific because the behavior is defined by the file system.

Being defined by a filesystem handling code and being the usual behaviour
under particular OS are not the same thing.

Your claim boils down to disagreeing that it's the most prevalent behaviour
for the OS, and you justify your position with the behaviour being coded in
particular place, no matter that most of the other places for a given OS work
in the same way. This is silly stance.

> I suggest you play around with a hobby file system yourself.

And this exercise would give me what, assuming that I haven't implemented

This should (A) be thought of as an art project and (B) should be no. 1 on HN right now.

It’s hard to know what to make of flat earth rocketeers, but my instinctive response is “this world is kind of awesome”.

First (like another poster said perfectly), “amateur astronaut” is a badass pursuit. 2nd is the possibility that there is a person who (A) can and will build a rocketship and (B) can’t think of a better way to confirm that the earth is flat. I kind of want to believe this.

This (and maybe most flat earth stuff) is multi-layered. Maybe (most likely) this is just a good PR narrative for this guy’s rocket project. Didn’t RKA/NASA have semi-bogus scientific goals to justify pure engineering challenges? I think a lot of flat earth stuff is trolls, jokes, devils advocacy, cyber-age epistemology. If I let my self get ridiculously carried away, I’d say there are some parts of flat earth world that rhyme with weird (but at the time important) parts of the enlightenment. I’m thinking des cartes, maybe Kant, probably others too. In my own narrative, these eventually culminated in moderate, but very useful philosophy like that of Karl Popper.

> While this provides a short-term benefit to the customer, it provides long-term negatives as Spotify's competitors are forced out of the market, and new upstart competitors don't stand a chance.

Realistically how much more of an issue will this be than it is now? In the UK, mobile providers already offer 6-month Spotify/Netflix/whatever subscriptions as a sweetner with your contract, which seems like the same issue to me but in a non-technological sense. New upstarts don't have the money nor the brand recognition to make that happen.

Netflix has become a part of the Collective consciousness, arguably on a similar level to googling something. Even with all the net neutrality laws in the world behind them I pitty the upstart who think they can go up against the current big players in the market (which includes content studios) and win. Spotify can't be said to have the same sort of recognition but Apple Music probably can, owing to it being featured on every iPhone and iTunes installation. New upstarts can't afford to release a smartphone to push their services, either.

It's capitalism. ISPs love short-term customer benefits, because the customers love them too. Once their customer base are fed up with their free Spotify sub, the ISP will have had 12 months to come up with the next thing. And so it will continue in theory until we all have huge data caps as standard anyway so none of this will matter. And then somebody will come up with a way to double the size of Netflix streaming video for a few more pixels and then we start again.
sigh Yeah, I literally meant that exactly 50.0% of the republican delegation hails from the South...

Or, maybe, I was using colloquial language to describe 'a significant portion', in which case:

1) Didn't happen in our lifetimes? That makes willfully supporting and idolizing such blatant revisionism and racism _markedly worse_ than the example against Bernie, supporting my point quite resoundingly...

2) You are incorrectly presupposing that Republicans need to be from the south to wax poetic about the fictional "South"... The recent comments by General Kelly, born in Mass, about General Lee show otherwise. That identity came part and parcel with the Republican Southern Strategy, and has been a part of the right wing cultural identity ever since. This should be news to no one.

3) I listen to myself just fine. What are you even trying to say? ... Secessionists who killed Yankees and tried to destroy America are openly revered in public by major players in one party with little consequence, while incidentally being involved in _a_ chant _one_ time with a _hint_ of the same beliefs is seen as a death blow in the other party [aaaand this only if you completely ignore Americas contemporaneous relationship with the Contras, and who was behind that fiasco].

Mitt Romney is not a Democrat, which was the entire thrust of my (now down voted, because... facts...), post: Republicans gladly swallow things about candidates for the sake of their party that Democrats refuse to.

Roy Moore, for example, or Trump, or GWB (etc etc), continue with sustained polling numbers that 'The Left' would never provide after their scandals and behaviour. It creates asymmetric competition, and a massive disadvantage in terms of policy creation.

This is verifiable behaviour, and comes out quite clearly in the polling numbers between political demographics.

Absolutely, I found similar things studying linguistics & phonetics. You can read phonetic transcriptions of things and get the basic sounds down, but there’s no substitute for listening carefully & imitating a native speaker, just like studying performances of pro musicians. Sounds that are often transcribed the same may be pronounced differently in different languages.
