> I'll never understand this hesitation to Firefox

In my case, I don‘t switch to Firefox because they don’t support AppleScript and it’s a feature I use every day.

Less than an hour ago, on another HN thread, I saw another macOS user claiming they won’t switch to Firefox because it doesn’t support Keychain.

Every time there’s this conversation, I see a bunch of macOS users complaining about performance.

In sum, a bunch of users (particularly macOS users) don’t switch to Firefox because it plain sucks for their needs.
But I don't want another service :/

I get podcasts on Spotify or Apple Music already. Why should I open another app to get another audio form?
> Intensively farmed meat and dairy are a blight, but so are fields of soya and maize.

. . . more of which are being used to feed livestock than to feed humans.

This article reads more like an apology and a rationalization than a balanced review of the whole situation.
Many many many foods have eggs or dairy products in them that simply don’t need them. The bread for that pbj could very well have milk, eggs in it. Butter on toast is a dairy product. Eggs are a common ingredient in veggie burgers!

Most people don't eat a breakfast with multiple things most days, just a quick meal before work (or they shove a bagel in their face while driving). Most people eat food that requires basically no prep work for lunch most days. Eating out (with the exception of coffee and donuts in certain industries) is not a regular occurrence for most people because it's not justifiable at their income level.

I'm not denying that one can have meat at every meal if they so desire. I'm saying that as a matter of convenience many do not.
London, and other towns and cities, had a bit of a shit problem in the 1300s. Streets full of horse and human shit, households throwing their waste into the streets and/or river or if lucky selling it to a nearby cloth dyer, water dangerous to drink so best stick to beer or wine, the serious health risk from floors covered in rushes. OK, if you were posh enough there was a chute from the privvy straight into the moat or river. Oh and the river was where the leftovers from the slaughter houses went.

I think it's fair to say that smell and hygiene expectation was a little different in the middle ages. Cured, if wealthy enough, with a pomander - a ball full of nicely smelly herbs and oils that you carried as portable gas mask.

Nah, NFS cares neither for C nor A nor P; it's almost the simplest possible protocol, with primitives of "read/write the block at offset X from inode N". There are all sorts of hacks due to the only reliable atomic primitive on NFS being "rename".

Technically it makes no effort to solve either A or P - all the data is stored in one place, with maybe a small local dirent and block cache. There's only one server (so no "P") and no failover (no "A").
Unless you have a lot of horses crapping in the same place at the same time it's going to be cold.

> The real solution is to reduce the global population

Why is that the "real solution"? We're close to factory-scale lab-grown meat, which seems like a perfectly viable alternative too.
While submitting a PR, the parser, Lexor and emitter were fairly easy to understand.
For the record, veganism also excludes dairy products, and we still have a pretty significant impact from things like dairy producing cows (not to mention they are treated just as poorly in factory conditions). And especially in restaurants, meat is very often consumed as a part of the things you mentioned. At least half (sometimes more) of pizza options have meat, mac and cheese when eaten as an entree and not a side almost always has bacon, chicken, etc. People take turkey or ham sandwiches for lunch just as often as PB&J. Burgers, breakfast sandwiches, etc. And look at fast food, how many places do you know where you (or other non-vegans) would actually regularly get meatless options?

The only fast food place we ever eat at is Taco Bell because you can customize everything to have beans instead of beef. We can't really eat at Chick-Fil-A, Wendy's, etc anymore.

When I worked at Google, I really missed the dual monitor setup I had had at my previous job. I asked my manager how to get a 2nd monitor. Apparently, since I had the larger monitor, I was not allowed to get a 2nd one without all kinds of hassle. I asked if I was allowed to just buy one from Amazon and plug it in, and I was told no. I finally just grabbed an older one that had been sitting in the hallway of the cube-farm next to us for a few days, waiting for to be picked up and re-used. I'm sure somebody's inventory sheet finally made sense 2 years later when I quit, and they collected that monitor along with the rest of my stuff.

Actually, later studies found that red meat isn't the issue per se, it's processed red meat that is the real culprit.

We jest, but seriously, maybe there's an HN moment here.

Outsourced corporate training/indoctrination software honestly seems to satisfy the legal department to the point they can say "ass covered, check," but does not go as far as the victims learning anything useful to the company or their career.

What kind of market would there be for corp training tools that actually satisfy everyone without resembling a force-feeding tube?

I'm not sure that the OP was stating that it is a requirement that the FPGA manufacturers open source their tooling, only that the devices be well-documented (without NDA requirements) so that someone could have an opportunity to do so without the imperfections that reverse-engineering a production can entail.

To your example, 'I don't see Intel open-sourcing ICC'; while it would be really nice if they did[0], it's not a requirement in the same manner that it wasn't a requirement for gcc to exist.

I could be wrong here -- I do not develop for the FPGA space, however, I've run into similar problems all over the embedded space. Try developing something on one of ARM's Secure MCU products that lands comfortably in just the "open-source software" category (skipping hardware all-together). It's...tricky. To get details on the design of the security features of these products, you have to execute multiple NDAs. And this is in a security space where openness is considered a security feature. In theory, at least, if you interact with one of these NDA-protected features, publishing the source code might be a violation.

Unfortunately, I suspect that many of these features are as good as the secrets that are kept[1] -- exposure of the documentation would likely yield viable attacks[2].

[0] Not the least of which would be to be able to port some of the optimizations that icc enables for Intel processors but disables for AMD/others to be able to be used on...AMD/others.

[1] To clarify, I have not signed any NDAs with ARM, so this is entirely speculation. I'll be a party to one, shortly, so I won't be talking on the subject assuming -- as I suspect -- that doing so would run afoul of the NDA provisions.

[2] At some point the hardware world will learn from Intel and others that security through obscurity ...isn't. As with Intel, as far as we know, the issues they experienced with their management component existed for years without breach. The vulnerability was shockingly bad, was almost certainly known by adversarial governments and black-hats, who kept it a guarded secret as carefully as Intel kept the details of their management component secret. So they succeeded in keeping attackers in business and customers in the dark ... making everyone feel secure.
I really wish iOS allowed for custom search engines, it's hard coded to just google, yahoo, bing, and duckduckgo because then that would allow for this roll-your-own pattern to be accessible when on the phone / tablet (if using an iPhone/iPad).
> I wouldn’t call Microsoft as a company returning control to Engineers and product.

I would not either, but this just reinforces the opinion that it is very hard for a company to get out of this state. Once engineers are domesticated even if the leadership wants to reinvigorate the company (and I think Microsoft's would like), empowering tame engineers is unlikely to produce earth-shattering results. Product improvements, sure; new technologies, probably not. My 2c.
I know I could and thank you for the suggestion.

The problem with that approach is that I don't want to fiddle with my phone. I don't fancy installing custom roms and I don't need the frustration about a device running 99% fine, except for those annoying 1% that you need right now.

I see an analogy in GNU/Linux, which I started to use in 1999 (yeah, on the desktop). It was really good fun. I liked compiling my own kernels because I could. It's great when you can compile, say, Postgresql to the exact specifics of your box, etc.

But then you get to the point where you just want that damn thing to work. You don't want to waste a couple hours or more in figuring out how to burn a cd. let alone games (a situation, which is much better now). So, at one point and as much as I like GNU/Linux, the philosophy behind free software and the endless possibilities of tinkering with your system I switched back to Windows.

It's probably even worse with a phone. I want that damn thing to just work and I don't see that with keeping an Android phone Google free.

At least Apple is not in the business of selling my privacy to the sleaziest of sleaze in order to make a quick buck.

Edited to add : Thanks for the Librem 5 suggestion. I'll look into it.
This has less to do with cloud vs own hardware and more about how the company is structured. I've worked in companies before with an ops department: a few people responsible for managing all the cloud servers. All the devs (like me at the time) work locally and have access to an isolated dev/uat environment provided by that team. That team had most of the show automated, they weren't really provisioning any machines by hand.

If something bad slipped into prod there was a process in place of how a dev would work together with someone from that team to fix it.

> pre-devops workflows

I guess this is what you are calling a pre-devops workflow? In a lot of fields not all devs are allowed to see/touch the complete production environment. Not everyone can go the netflix way of "everyone pushes to production and we'll just fix it when it breaks".

Only in non-North American datacenters. In NA, Nvidia can enforce their driver license, which prohibits use of consumer GPUs in datacenters.

A nice advantage of non-consumer GPUs is their bigger RAM size. Consumer GPUs, even the newest 2080 Ti, has only 11 GB. Datacenter GPUs have 16GB or 32 GB (V100). This is important for very big models. Even if the model itself fits, small memory size forces you to reduce batch size. Small batch size forces you to use a smaller learning rate and acts as a regularizer.
Dairy and small amounts of egg (usually added for it's chemical/material properties) in baked goods don't count as meat for discussions about food sustainability because they don't require raising animals for slaughter. A dairy cow can produce many gallons of milk and a chicken can lay many eggs over its lifetime. They're a drop in the bucket compared to the environmental impact of meat raised for direct consumption.

That's like complaining about oil products used to patch roads in a discussion about the environmental impact of oil.

>>Basically their own Ballmer era is what Google is entering.

If its just one person, it often easy to fix the problem by eliminating that one person(like Microsoft).

But if an entire cartel is at work in the top layers. Like the political brotherhood, to say. It will be impossible to solve the problem until an eventual IBM like corporation will come to happen. Basically you fire one exec, and the brotherhood will bring one from their golf buddies to replace them, and this process will go on. No one know what's to be done to fix the problem, because whatever new boss you will get will be the same as the old boss.

I'm also fairly sure by now that the 20% spare time project culture/process is fairly dead by now.

No political exec will let some programmer create a project leading to creation of a new threat to their fiefdom.

I'm guessing most of Google's growth will now come only from Acquisitions.
The sample was actually a good sample!

What I mean is, it demonstrates the code which is important in a readme if you want other people to adopt your product. But, it was also rather funny and kept me engaged throughout it.

I hardly ever make slideshows beyond just black text + white background (or one of the default themes) which I tend to do with google docs as it's the standard at work.

But it's a neat product, good job!
Since you are already working remotely, my advise would be to consider other places where the cost of living is not as high as SV. Anywhere else in the US or other English speaking countries for instance.

I am in Indian. I've lived and worked for 2+ years each in Singapore, Germany and now in Ireland. So I know a bit about moving countries and the associated pros and cons.

I would highly recommend considering Ireland, Australia, New zealand if you are looking for English speaking countries with a good standard of life (in fact better, if you factor in health, social services and kids education) vis-a-vis cost of living.

If you are adventurous you might also consider places like Singapore or Malta or Dubai ...all of which have a good tech scene.

Don't get hugh up on 'keeping up with technological advancements' and ageism. Ageism is, in my (most likely biased) opinion a US tech industry specific thing (I am 40 and have not yet felt that's a disadvantage). As far as tech stacks go, keeping up with them can be done anywhere and you don't necessarily /have/ to work on the latest and greatest in a professional environment all the time. As you age, you'd realize the actual rate of advancement in tech, in real innovation terms, is pretty darn slow.

> Code reviewers are working at the deckchairs level, they are unable to change the Titanic's direction, and again both parties in a code review have incentive to do it as quick as possible (while not looking like they obviously brushed over it), so it become mostly a potential bug hunting and syntactic cleanup exercise.

And that's why I despise code reviews. There's obviously not enough time allocated to them for in-depth understanding of the reviewed code, so I'm mostly spending precious resources (attention, energy) on doing a half-assed review that is not going to do that much good. It feels like such futile work.

To continue the reply...

plash uses along others linux namespaces and chroot.
So inside a linux namespace you can actually use the vanilla chroot:

ihucos@macbook:~/plash$ # get an example rootfs
ihucos@macbook:~/plash$ mkdir /tmp/m
ihucos@macbook:~/plash$ plash mount --from ubuntu -- /tmp/m
ihucos@macbook:~/plash$
ihucos@macbook:~/plash$ unshare --map-root --user --mount
root@macbook:~/plash# chroot /tmp/m
root@macbook:/# type apt
apt is /usr/bin/apt
root@macbook:/# exit

> Have you investigated into creating reproducible containers?

Interesting topic. I wanted to, but did not come very far. Maybe now that I "finished" plash and have more time haha.

btw: I just tested and you can just run unprivileged plash containers inside a unprivileged plash process! But you need to install unionfs-fuse in the first container. When/If I port plash to C maybe that dependency can be statically linked or something like that, lets see.

Leaving aside the pest aspect (and I'm sure it's all too real in many places), rats are fascinating creatures with a sharp, pragmatic intelligence, loads of adaptability, and social behaviors that we primates can very easily recognize and relate to.
I have seen rats perform clearly abstact thinking, brewing up complex ad-hoc plans, and show stunning degrees of spatial awareness. I have been lied to by a rat, who seemed to have worked out a decent model of my expected behavior. Which I promptly delivered - the rat won.
And these were domesticated rats. I should be surprised if their wild cousins weren't up to even more hardcore mental trickery.
