I switched last week to Firefox after trying to go back to it over and over again, maybe once a year, for 5+ years. I absolutely love the Container system it has. I was fumbling around between Chrome profiles for GCP and back to my personal for gdrive/docs/etc. It just got cumbersome. I didn't really understand what the Containers were until I installed the extension and started to split up domains by Work and Personal containers. It's fantastic. Now I have a ton of work-only domains that as soon as I go to them it opens them automatically in my "Work" container. If I pop over to reddit or hn it automatically uses a "Personal" container. The UX could be better, I'd like to dump a list of sites in and bulk select their containers but you can't do that AFAIK. I'd also like to open a URL and just hit a checkbox that says "Always open this in Work/Personal" instead I need to open a Personal container and then "always open in this container."

Haven't really paid attention to resource usage vs chrome. I don't immediately feel like it's incredibly lower, if lower at all, but that's just taking a cursory glance that having a decent amount of static tabs and a video player running (not 1080p) is using 2gb of ram. I feel like chrome would be right there, maybe higher, like 3gb.

edit: Also, I found this which turns the entire thing into a dark mode (I use Dark reader as well) https://github.com/overdodactyl/ShadowFox

It's got some quirks that bug me. On Windows (I use OSX mostly) it seems to have issues with dragging links out but nothing to get me running away from it.
> Japan never had any censorship rules before WWII

This is not true. The obscenity censorship law dates back to 1907, and the enforcement of it for erotic content was also completely detatched from the occupation. https://www.reddit.com/r/japan/comments/4pss4u/why_is_porn_i...
What you want is to have fewer outages. Penalization is a non-goal.
Isn't floating point rounding behaviour also deterministic?

I don't believe either of those are necessarily true. They would be if you changed "in business" to "growing".
You still don’t get how censorship really works. Preventing access to information is the extent of it, you aren’t targeted by what you search for, you can search for Dalai Lama, human rights, or Winnie the Pooh without worrying about the police knocking on your door. Where you can get in trouble is by speaking out in public forums, but even here censorship is mostly automated (your post is rejected for using sensitive words) and/or wumaos attempt to lead the conversation away from disgruntlement.

China is definitely not a police state, meaning they don’t have the resources to crack down on any dissent that isn’t notable.

But here is the thing: is the harm of google not being in China more than the harm of being China? As someone who lived in China for 9 years, I say yes: there is simply lots of information (eg non scammy healthcare) that is not under censorship but useful and not easily found without google. You are condemning people to harm to satisfy your high standard of morality.
Relative to what?
Frame situations in such a way that you're happy with whichever outcome eventuates.

Simple example: Tomorrow's Saturday. If it's Sunny we can go on that family picnic we were talking about. If it's Rainy we can stay inside and watch that movie we've been wanting to watch. Positive outcome either way.

More Complex example: Tomorrow I have an interview for a job that sounds great. If it goes well then I get the job. If it doesn't go so well it'll be great experience for the next interview. Positive outcome either way.

Sometimes it can be a stretch to find the "silver lining" in a given situation but there's usually one there even if you can't see it at first. See also "Good, Bad, Who's to Say?":

The sidewalk is a far more statistically dangerous place for cyclists (and scooters, by extension).

Here's an FAQ from Cornell on this: http://www.bike.cornell.edu/pdfs/Sidewalk_biking_FAQ.pdf
Sure, but if youre using a good one you usually say what it is. "Salted and hashed" is usually MD5 or SHA1, both of which provide almost no deterrence to brute forcing.

They use deadly force against people firing missiles in the Gaza Strip, an area of land the residents are unable to leave and is under an Egyptian and Israeli blockade because it is controlled by Hamas, a terrorist organization. One side is considered "deadly" as they've killed over 150 people, many of them children because they are used as human shields by the terrorists, while the other side has killed 1, because they're incompetent.

If the society as a whole doesn't want to pay for the cost of raising a child, why should you grind your bones?

I feel that this is becoming a standard narrative. SV company comes up with an idea, decides harvesting lots of user data is how they will monetize. VCs pump in a lot of money and expect their returns, so company is now forced to collect even more data aggressively (the sign-in wall that many others have pointed out is an example of this). VC pressure causes company to "innovate" fast, most likely trading off security for new features in the meantime. As this progresses and they become more valuable, they are then targeted by hackers, which causes some type of compromise of users' data.

Quora is an intimate medium — tied to real names, real and often deep interests. It's especially bad that this happened.

Yes, I use also an extension that lets me type "w richard feynman". I also use DuckDuckGo, which has a lot of these shortcuts. But Safari will still offer the first "best hit", when I'm not sure where to look something up.

As for privacy, I'm already deep in Apple. They take care of my stuff: My entire Safari history (synced with iCloud), backup of my iPhone, my iMessage chat history, and a lot of other things. Given their stance on privacy, I choose to trust them. I've never accidentally pasted anything in the search bar.

Its not the only time, that chasing fat margins let them down. They completely gave the smart phone business away because they didn't did the opportunity. Now they are looking at a half dozen companies from the ARM ecosystem that are hungry and looking to expand their market-share into servers.. Its completely possible that within a few years ARM CPU/GPU combinations will own a huge part of the computing landscape.

Its the same thing that leaves IBM sitting on the sidelines. An unwillingness to take a chance and invest in things where the margins aren't evident. Eventually someone shows up and invents a whole market (AWS for example) and makes a killing leaving them sitting on the side lines.

You are so right. I am reading West with the Night, an excellent book that didn't sell well when first published in 1942 for various reasons, from bad timing during WWII to being under advertised. Almost forgotten until 1982 when someone read Hemingway's letters praising it, found a copy of the book and persuaded the publisher to re-issue it. It became a best seller.

>Ernest Hemingway was deeply impressed with Markham's writing, saying
"she has written so well, and marvelously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer. I felt that I was simply a carpenter with words, picking up whatever was furnished on the job and nailing them together and sometimes making an okay pig pen. But [she] can write rings around all of us who consider ourselves as writers ... it really is a bloody wonderful book."

Ask HN: Favorite language features?
Hi everyone. This is my first post, so I apologize if I am off-topic or my submission is not within guidelines. My question is, what are your favorite features of any given programming language? And to contextualize, what do you do with said language?

Rust's borrow checker? Lisp's macros? Erlang's BEAM?

I'm new to programming in general and I realize many programming features are the results of tradeoffs but I still want to get a sense of what tradeoffs were most effective for what you want to do. I get that it is somewhat a matter of opinion and varies based on task.
Come on, please don't be a jerk on HN.
It was definitely a real pain to ensure the whole stack was deterministic. Since we only targeted ps3 and xbox360 it was easier to ensure determinism. All in all, I wouldn’t recommend it.
While we're on the subject, all combinations of dots are equivalent. this.isme and th.isisme and thisis.me, etc. Finite variety, but good enough for a few generic throwaways and never filtered or stripped that I've seen.
Most folks set up a little proxy--or configure CORS if the other end of the pipe is owned or cooperative--rather than throw out the baby with the bathwater due to inability to disable an important security measure.
> Maybe with new scrappy startups we can drastically slash those non-launch costs - then we'll come back again to the question of launch prices.

Over time asteroid/moon mining is inevitable. Technology will develop (costs fall), and we'll exhaust the mineral supply of Earth (prices increase). I'm sure, among many other types of organizations, scrappy startups will help us get there.
I don't think large companies have much interest in selling data. It's a long-term asset. The real money is in renting. E.g., Google and Facebook make a lot of money renting access to you based on the data they have. That's far more lucrative than selling the raw data once.

Also, it's implausible to me that selling the data wouldn't come out eventually. As we saw with Cambridge Analytica, even pretty obscure uses of data can eventually turn into giant media exposure for privacy breaches. The brand damage is is very expensive. Facebook's market cap is down something like $100 billion; there's no way they could have made that kind of money from trying to quietly sell copies of their data.
Do what with it?
The true spirit of Internet Explorer lives on, I guess.
On our business news sites, Firefox is 5% of desktop traffic. Which isn't too crazy; lots of our readers probably can't install their own browsers. The crazy part is Chrome is at 65%. Chrome ate all the marketshare that IE/Edge lost in the enterprise over the past few years.
Please don't post in the flamewar style to HN. It leads to increasing nastiness, as happened below, and you did quite a bit to fuel that.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and take the spirit of this site to heart, we'd be grateful. We don't want threads to go up in flames.
All this coming from this build bug for ARM64Win?

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=893460

Is there anything else to dig into to validate?
Potentially.

One way to think of the U.S. national debt is as a measure of the future money supply. There are two ways to retire the debt: pay it off through increased productivity (i.e. GDP growth) or print dollars. Debt doesn't cause inflation directly, but it's a potential time bomb if the debt comes due and you can't pay it through productivity growth (or higher taxes).
Well, you can’t get an SSL CERT for an IP address.

So, I don’t see what the problem is here.

I can't quite wrap my head around if inflation is terribly bad in this situation. Certainly the Japanese government has been trying to introduce inflation, but the yen has stubbornly stayed pretty high. However, personal debt here in Japan is in a completely different situation than in the US. I wonder if the US is kind of caught between a rock and a hard place. I'd love to hear from someone who understands this stuff...
While switching will still be a pain, have you considered a 3rd-party password manager?

I'm using Enpass which works with the three major browsers, has apps for iOS and Android, and has desktop apps for Mac, Windows, and Linux. The best part about it, in my opinion, is that their syncing backend lets you choose which cloud provider you want to sync with (they support six or seven different ones), including a generic WebDAV/ownCloud one if you want to host your own.

It's not perfect, but having something cross-platform and cross-browser has a lot of appeal.

and the federal reserve doesn't (literally) print the money...
Sorry to be the one to break it to you, but that is the biggest lie and ruse and deception about the Federal Reserve.

The Federal Reserve is a privately owned entity that controls our money, owned by nebulous owners that are not at all clear, but hopefully at the very least owned by American banks like JPM and WF.

Seriously, you should look into it, but be prepared to be utterly stunned to find out the reality of matter and how a private banking cartel controls our fiat, aka, made up fantasy currency. It will shake everything you have been trained to believe like a good slave.

>Israel does better than anyone else in the world at minimizing civilian causalities, but accidents are a fact of war.

Israel regularly shoots and kills unarmed civilians for standing too close to a fence.

>So, what other options does Israel have? Let the combatants do whatever they want?

They are unarmed civilians, standing near a fence.

>Are you seriously implying someone should not work for the Israeli military because of civilian accidents?

Yes, one should not involve themselves in a violent force that regularly murders civilians for standing too close to a fence.

>What's your endgame here? Israel should give up and let millions of people be murdered?

They can start by not murdering the desperate civilians protesting the blockade and destruction of their homes by standing too close to a fence.

>he would rather millions of Israeli citizens get murdered?

Millions of Israelis are not at risk of being murdered by the unarmed civilians standing near fences.

>The only moral thing to do here is do an even better job at this type of software to make the civilian casualty ratio even better.

The most moral thing to do would be to pressure Israel to stop murdering civilians for standing too near a fence.
No, if anything it's brought us together. What's been hard is losing leftie friends for no reason. I don't talk about politics, but if they find out I went to a Trump rally (instagram pics) suddenly we can't be friends. It's weird. I lived in San Francisco 20 years ago and had rabidly leftie friends whom I very much enjoyed sparring with over drinks, however something has changed and we can't even make small talk anymore. Bizarre.
