No, I don't, but as isostatic says, I think I could.

Of course there are tradeoffs when using such a machine but the point is that "modern" web browsing is a resources hog and GNU/Linux+Firefox makes it possible for everyone.
There is no scientific basis for race
yes this is what I do. I have a blog, that nobody reads. I write about tech and non-tech things, without stress of fears, because I only write for myself, like my personal, public notepad.

Sometimes I talk to or help someone and remember a post I wrote that could help, and share it.
flights (at least mine) are often cancelled and rescheduled by the airline after purchase. Without actively being able to track an individual flyer between the connecting flights, just setting a connecting flight number (along with date and time) wouldn't work.
Try to speak slower. This will give you more time to think, while also making you sound more authoritative.
I can't imagine this will be very well used. It's obviously a reaction to influencers and monetizing on ad revenue from them but I have to wonder how many will install two different Instagram apps...

(The influencer will also be on the main one.)

And I am surprised this couldn't be efficiently integrated to the main app. Is it about branding? I mean... They just increased the clip length. Couldn't those clips be shown prominently for/on the user in the main app?

I'm getting stuck on the issue of two different apps because I think that's where the most friction will be.

I'm stunned. Is this still a thing? Last time I remember seeing websites recommending a browser, it was late 90s with "get Netscape" gifs.
When I had to do some pf work, googling around rendered this project which uses pf to provide network segmentation for jails and edge firewalling. Was quite useful learning reference:

I was thinking more of compilation times, but of course if you write JS for example in VIM then this is not an issue (given that it can run a browser).
Remember that writing is very different to speaking, and those prolific writers often spent vast amounts of time tweaking their words until the have the perfect narrative.

When it comes to verbal communication people respond well to stories. As with any story:

- Start With A Hook.
- Have A Point To The Story.
- Choose The Right Time To Tell The Story.
- Show, Don't Tell.
- Use Vivid Details, Not Lots Of Facts.
- Practice Related Skills.
- Tell Personal Stories, But Cautiously.
- Share Firsthand Thoughts & Feelings.
Compatibility with an installed base of several billion televisions, for starters. Periscope handles this like a champ imho, even their recorded .ts streams encode orientation switching so that it works flawlessly either way and you can switch midstream.

> It also forces Bing down your throat if you select text and open the context menu.

I have google as default search engine and it shows me google in context menu, I don't have any mentions of bing.

> It sometimes closes without any error message (to be fair, some crack-pipe UX-Designers call that a good thing.)
It cannot be configured in detail at all (about:flags; is there anything else?)

Never closed for me, probably happens not so often. Even JavaScript can't do that without my confirmation. Actually I saw the opposite behavior, some tab hanged and even if I closed all tabs, window still remained opened with zero tabs. "Fixed" by pressing "X" on window itself, so not a real problem. I didn't upgrade to Windows 2018 yet, may be they fixed that already.

> Still, bottom line: Bad browser. The internet would be a better place if MS would stop to develop any browser.
I actually think that JS engines are very close to each other and that most performance indicators are a bit lacking if it comes to applicability on real pages.

I don't agree. I'm not sure about internals, but UI of Edge is awesome while UI of Internet Explorer is horrible. I like this browser and I would be sad if MS would stop its development. Web needs more different implementations of standards and more competition.
Even if this article exists just to make the headline possible I'm ok with that.

Wait, didn’t the article explicitly mention that it’s also in the main app, or did I misread?

“While there’s a stand-alone IGTV app, you’ll also be able to watch from within the Instagram app so the entire community of one billion can use it from the very start.”

While not mandated by the YAML specification, it doesn't prevent creation of a parser that round-trips comments.

I think one of the things I like about Murakami is that his writing doesn't feel pretentious and is matter-of-factly, even though most of it is quite fantastical.

I really can't bear pretentiousness in writing (or music).
The feedback loop is we charge those who produce non-recyclable products for polluting the planet and then they stop doing that over time.

It's really not hard, we don't charge consumers for producing CO2, we charge suppliers who produce CO2 and they either stop doing that, or charge more for their products and consumers choose the suppliers who stop doing that. We can even let suppliers trade amongst each other to see who can stop doing that best.

It's not that weird a thing, it was a conservative policy back in Reagan's day.

It is the most enterprise unfriendly browser there is. Even after all these years, they still don't have msi installation files. It only takes minutes during packaging, and they can't even be bothered to do that. Yet, they have time to constantly remove features and change the GUI. It's like moving deck chairs on the Titanic. Moved to Chrome in the enterprise long ago. They have msi files and implement group policies.
One simple place to start is placing large taxes on the most harfmul activities (e.g. generating co2). This should incentive increased investment in safer energy sources.

This was the basis for the Kyoto Protocol [1] in 1997, which sought to limit greenhouse gas emissions by making organizations pay for a license to emit greenhouse gases. It even put most of the burden on developed nations, as you suggest.

Now, you may argue that the costs for licenses were not steep enough, or that the resulting emissions trading market diluted the effectiveness of the regulation, or that the US' refusal to ratify it makes effectively a failed attempt -- but what you propose has been tried before.

Extensions were highly promoted when they were released. Microsoft also offers to install some extensions for you under certain circumstances (e.g. if you search for a product on a search engine I believe it recommends installing the shopping comparison extension).
Maybe the best would be to write a tutorial, and then throw it away.

How do you deal with changing document versions?
At my company, the functional specification documents of the system is kept in a server where new additions to said documentation would result in a new version of the document being uploaded with a 1.x version being incrementally added to the file name. This results in a messy folder structure and redundancy.

However, most of the people who need the documentation aren't developers nor necessarily even that tech-savvy.

What are some ways similar problems are combated in your own workplaces?
> You seem to imply that security will always result in less speed or less usability, and that is not always the case.

Certainly not always, but often enough and more so than usual with Spectre and Meltdown.

> As an example of simplicity, I am not personally aware of any install that is so simple as theirs. Except maybe ubuntu's, but then with ubuntu you end up with a mess of interdependent packages and it will be a hell to uninstall shit you don't need.

That's an interesting point. How does it compare in terms of simplicity to the other BSDs (FreeBSD and Dragonfly) or something like Arch Linux?
This is a valid question, I don't know why you (originally) got downvoted.

The answer I think, for the applications in industry at least, is that PRISM and other probabilistic programming langauges are not as developed as Prolog, a language that has been around for a good four decades now. Swi-Prolog in particular, is a free and open-source Prolog interpreter with an IDE, a graphical package and a veritable somrgasbord of libraries, including an http server, json and xml processing, encryption, interfaces to SQL and other databases etc etc etc. Swi is in active development, compatible with YAP-Prolog (currently the fastest implementation) very well supported and documented and has an active community.

It's a lot easier to setup a production environment in Prolog, especially using Swi, than in pretty much any other logic programming language, including the probabilistic logic programming ones.

Btw, I noticed that Kyndi list experience with Logtalk as a "plus" for one of their career opportunities (of course I looked :) which means that they're probably using Swi-Prolog.
Edge is a Windows component, why decouple its updates? Is there any problems with quick windows updates? Ordinary users can't even disable updates now, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Ooh I must have missed that when I saw this yesterday. I directly went to the App Store and saw the new IGTV app and just assumed it was a new separate product although with their existing user base.
yeah, performance-wise I can't complain :) I'm a compulsive tab hoarder with about 400 open (admittedly, have to enable the "don't load until focused"-setting) on a 5 yo laptop with lots of other stuff running. No problem at all.
Firefox broke off backwards compatibility with massive amount of extensions - without them stock FF is quite shite and unusable. Not only that, some of the features of the old extensions are impossible to implement in the new extension engine.
My vote goes on "Hold my beer"
Look at the bigger picture. I spend 1.5 hours per day commuting, but the higher pay means I have to work less.

High paying job, LCOL area: 6 months, 21 working days per month at 9.5 hours per day is 1197 hours per year.

Mid to low paying job, LCOL area: 11 months, 21 working days per month at 8.25 hours per day is 1905 hours per year.

It is a choice to make. Spend an extra hour each evening with your family or spend every other month completely with your family. The magic of geo-arbitrage.
I just tested it and it uses my hosts file.
I use the "Sidebar" style on my Mac, with the TST add-on from piro_or. I previously used a different tree style tab addon but it was not updated for WebExtensions.

TST addon preference style:

/* Compact tab layout */
:root { --tab-height: 20px !important; }
.tab { height: 20px !important; }
/* Shrink space between pinned tabs and tab bar, only when pins are present */
#tabbar[style*="margin"] { margin-top: 20px !important; }

userChrome.css:

/* Hide tab bar in FF Quantum */
@-moz-document url("chrome://browser/content/browser.xul") {
#TabsToolbar {
visibility: collapse !important;
margin-bottom: 21px !important;
}

#sidebar-box[sidebarcommand="treestyletab_piro_sakura_ne_jp-sidebar-action"] #sidebar-header {
visibility: collapse !important;
}
}

Then I needed to turn on the title bar (right click toolbar -> customize -> check title bar at the bottom), and select Density -> Compact. The whole thing ends up looking like this: https://imgur.com/a/c4j9QxR

With some very small tweaks you could change it to look more like a Mac toolbar, I guess, but as it stands it's pretty svelte.

What else do you eat? Avoiding any and all sugar does seem like a great way to lose weight, but how do you go about your day? Is it lots of cooking, lots of batch cooking, or getting things at cafés?

I was telling a friend of mine the other day how I used to cook a lot of beef and assorted vegetables in a pot of water and it would last me the week, but I have barely any sense of taste.
But static typing != static typing. There are many different degrees of type safety, some much more strict than others. It is often about more than just "finding the right type," as you say. How much does the compiler require features of a type to be implemented, even if they are not used, in order for it to be a certain type, or just use one featureset of a protocol/trait that it adopts? You can easily write types that eventually require a large amount of boilerplate in some languages to just do something fairly basic that is not as complex as what the compiler asks you to do.

> one hates or disagrees with, not "the end of civilization as we know it"

Perhaps that's what characterises this new paradigm. The durability of reality. That our much vaunted social norms have far less impact than we think.

Peterson makes absolute sense to me as performance art. (EDIT now so too does 50 shades of grey)

Black Mirror so is postmodernism in a yet-relevant format. Postmodernism may still be relevant but it's the interpretation of post-modernism as dogma (itself antithetical to PM) which is not.

It's the priests and priestesses of postmodernism that gets people's backs up isn't it, not so much the concept(s) itself.
Kind of tangential but this reminds me of Feynman:

Not only is it still a thing, Google itself is a major culprit of it. Seems like every new experiment they release is “best viewed” in — or worse, “requires” — Google Chrome.
From whence the sentence comes!
Well, CA forbid that kind of usage, so if they found out, they'd revoke that certificate, that would be the major concern for me.

Other than that, obvious attack is to extract private key from your application, launch fake server and forge DNS responses for some poor guy (for example if he's using some untrusted WiFi). So his requests would be redirected into that fake server instead of localhost application.

I think the main thing that this misses is the potential benefit of an open protocol.

We still don't have a standard open equivalent of Dropbox.js (deprecated).

That is, a user controlled account which a browser or phone knows about that can store files, and that every app that needs to store files can read and write to.

Proprietary solutions and B2B solutions will never meet that need - it needs to be something that all the big tech companies can get behind, and which consumers have visibility and control of.

I can't see a route to such a protocol right now, in terms of either technology or finance, other than something open source and based on a cryptocurrency. As such, I hope one of them succeeds.

Even if all the files end up stored in Amazon, at least the protocol will be open and everything will be encrypted. And you will be able to trivially as a consumer store the data on a competitor (Microsoft, Google, Baidu), or on your own server if you want or need (countries and companies and people at risk of human rights violations may care).
This is a good article, however this part seems a bit off:

> Because of the variable latency involved in most web-applications, it’s pretty much impossible to write a timing attack over HTTP web servers.

There are certainly demonstrated timing attacks against webapps, it may take a little extra time for the attacker, but latency won't save you here, you should always use constant time comparison, there's little excuse not to.

Nothing is fragmented, because everything has been reduced to transactionalism.

You can do whatever you like, as long as you're trying to make money (or sometimes more abstract social credit) by selling it/you as hard as possible to your customers.

And there are only potential customers now - not audiences in the old scene-with-common-values sense.

Postmodernism, such as it is, is now a marketing gimmick, occasionally used to add some spicy irony to make sales efforts more successful.

The real horror is that this applies everywhere - not just in commerce, but in the arts, the sciences, academia, and especially in politics.
I've been using it for a few months now as my daily borwser on my personal Win10 machine and its been great.

I cant say I noticed any compelling reason to move off of Chrome, but I thought I'd at least try out modern Firefox to see what I am missing.

It feels a bit faster than Chrome for day-to-day browsing in totally non-scientific testing. Where it really shines though is in WebGL where it is HUGELY faster than Chrome for me. My laptop has a fairly high-end discrete GPU and Chrome feels like it is doing software rendering, but Firefox feels silky smooth so I guess Firefox is actually using the GPU and Chrome is not.

I've just installed it on my work 2016 MBP. Keyboard still sucks, but I cant blame Firefox for that. However, on OSX, Firefox feels sluggish compared to Chrome.
How was this even reliably measured? If my boss knew how many minutes/hours/days of lost productivity he has paid me for...

There's a long article from Larry Wall (Perl's inventor) on Perl being Postmodern. It was probably the first time I saw it explained as such. An interesting talk even if you don't like Perl much:

The points made in this article remind me of how CD-ROM was adopted in the early nineties.

Once upon a time CD-ROM was new and with Windows for Workgroups you could share a given CD-ROM across a network. If you needed to install $SOFTWARE on machine B you could theoretically put the CD-ROM in machine A's drive and install from there. The person on machine A might even put the right disk in for you.

Given that CD-ROM drives cost a reasonable amount of money at the time and probably went at 3x speed, you would have a financial incentive to specify machine B without the CD-ROM, same with machine C and machine D. In so doing you could save enough money to buy machine E (or at least the monitor for it).

Nobody went down this route, in offices or in education. In education settings there were financial incentives to save money plus tech savvy staff on hand to make it work smoothly. There was no 'status' value in having the CD-ROM attached.

Everyone was okay about sharing the same printer but not the same CD-ROM drive.

You would not even need the CD-ROM as often as a printer in those days. The publishing industry was in its infancy and you only really had install media. Writeable media was a long way off. Surely it would have made sense to have your MS-Office install media or 'Encarta' available to all, on the network which was faster than the CD-ROM drives of the era?

Yet this never happened.

Instead every machine was specified with the CD-ROM. Disks were passed around much like floppies were. Nobody network-shared their CD-ROM drives. Yet all that was needed was a 'right click' and 'share'. The financial aspect in doing so was not a micro-payment in some alt-coin it was proper $$$ saved from not having to purchase another CD-ROM drive.

In time the $999 CD-ROM drives went to 4x and cost nearer $200, then they became 52x and cost nearer $100 to eventually become the $20 things bundled with every machine.

When writeable CD-ROMS and DVDs came along the storage space was vast compared to HDDs of the time yet still there was no network sharing of the things, everyone had their own disk in their own machine. Sure there were exceptions - network machines of the time - but these were the exceptions.

For the same reasons of capitalism and human nature I suspect that file-sharing-by-altcoin will fail. Moore's Law makes 'common sense' arguments for file sharing in a P2P way where you rent out your disk not make sense. Layer on top the fact that every alt-coin is a scam-coin and you know that P2P file-coins are only for the true believers.

Oh shit, this hit harder than I thought it would. I love the A168 watch, and I've worn one every day since I got my first back when I was 19.

To show this is possible:

Note how ubiquitous git is now as such a filesystem and protocol for developers.

Remember how that has come about over the last 10 years.

Imagine the same thing happening with a consumer targetted file storage system and protocol.
> Could it be you have some unconscious bias against the person who took that action, leading you to see them as a rogue cowboy instead of a wise leader?

The rest of the team was pissed off. A leader is followed, a rogue cowboy leaves everybody else behind and without the information that they need to do their jobs.

But I agree that it is difficult to say if it is one or the other from the outside. That is why it is so important for management to be present and to have direct communication with all the development team. "Lazy" management tends to trust whoever screams the loudest instead of expending the time to fully understand the situation and listening to everyone involved.

You are right. With just my description, it is not possible for anyone to know if it was one or the other. And in fact, it was more grey that I have described. Taking into account all the information I gathered, I still believe that it occurred as I described.
Breaking "old" add-ons with no working replacement and no way to implement quite a few of them killed FF for me. What those idiots at Mozilla don't get is that without the add-ons their stock browser is no better than any other.
