Basically all of (central, where I live) Europe, not sure about the USA. The police comes if you don't pay - it's a criminal offence. Nobody would pay if they only sent letters. Also European ministries of finances often have their own armed forces (customs administration[1]).

[1] For example the Czech Customs Administration: https://www.celnisprava.cz/en/Pages/default.aspx - note the sentence at the top: "Customs Administration of the Czech Republic is a security force ensuring processes in the field of customs administration and related taxes, as well as other non-fiscal activities in the favor of the state and its citizens. It is subordinated to the Ministry of Finance."
I don't test it in Edge as much because there is no Edge on Linux or MacOS and I don't want to keep virtual machines running all the time to do it.
And there is absolutely no benefit in helping them get more users on their proprietary browser. If they made it multi platform and open sourced it, that might have been a different story.
I do test in Firefox and Chromium and only then if someone complains I look at Safari and Edge.
I find Maybe a bad idea. It forces me to write denormalized code when I know that something is not NULL. It's not possible to specify this knowledge as a data structure since data structures are static but context is dynamic. I much prefer the simple NULL sentinel that blows up like an assertion when I made a mistake. That said, there's not very often a need for NULL at all if you structure the code correctly.
Nah, wrong comparison. Microsoft mostly stayed in their corner (Software) while the others (Google, Amazon) are branching out to everything else. Things like Waymo will probably even take over the revenue of pure digital services (though it's tied into). Transportation is a big business.

Better analog would be Wayland-Yutani I guess. The corporations that are manifesting currently are nothing that the world has ever seen before in size and interconnections.

Not that I'm against it, it's just my observation. I'm an avid customer of both.
I did, sorry.
The things you cite as "Yak territory" are just bad, anti-productive decisions.

Yak shaving, by definition, is a seemingly unrelated problem that _needs_ to be solved before progressing with the primary task. In other words, if it's merely an optional decision, it's not really "Yak shaving".

The only way you avoid Yak shaving is by an uncanny combination of careful planning and organizational flexibility. Sometimes Yak shaving can't be avoided, that's OK, it's a learning experience and it builds skills, character and funny stories.
Excellent, what are the metrics then? What makes a "how to do your nails" tutorial brainless stupidity?
You, me, any other. We all like to laugh but we know that life is beyond that. That's why we have schools that teach history, physics, chemistry, math, geography, ... instead of teaching nail arts, hair styling, parkour etc.

Also, if you travel the world a bit, you'll easy see how most "mean acculturated" countries offer generally a better life quality, life expectancy etc.
I always seem to find these issues when I'm in a hurry. They always show up when things are on fire. And they seem to have magically disappeared/unable to repeat, or are no longer an prioritized issue - when you have time to fix them.
> But new processes (i.e. new tabs) will not be able to load the old libraries.

I think it should be possible under Linux. Firefox could pass the old libraries as file descriptors to its child process and and the child could dlopen those through /proc/self/fd/... . Or a more robust mechanism along these lines. But I wouldn't seriously suggest that Firefox should do something like this, restarting Firefox every once in a while is fine.
I wouldn't mind if we had a slowly increasing tax on all fossil fuels, that grew slowly to the full cost of pulling the CO2 out of the atmosphere. Then use the revenues from that tax to pull CO2 out of the atmosphere.

That creates a tax incentive as well as a new industry to fix the problem. Grow slowly so not to immediately cripple the industry, but long before the tax reaches 100% of the cost, will most people have switched to something cleaner.
AWS Outposts: AWS infrastructure on-premises for a truly consistent hybrid cloud
Well, if you want an example:

The latest version of Edge broke the "FormData" constructor. So you can't manually create FormData to post from a set of elements not already in a form element together.

And the failure is insidious, it would wipe the value, but still submit the key. Overwriting any previously saved data.

Reported it three months ago, assigned to someone, no progress.
The idea that children "decide" to escape reality is completely ludicrous. The purpose of parents and society is to make good decisions for the future of their children, not pretend like they're opting-in to media manipulation.
How do you explain that the yield of the US 10y bond was 3% 5 years ago, 1.5% 2 years and a half ago, and it's 3% currently?

Did the United States "get better with money" somehow in the last years before becoming "bad with money" again?

Edit: to be clear, I do know that there are many factors (including as well inflation expectations, for example). It´s not just a question of default risk due to being bad with money.
Doing it just on internal EU flights would already make a big difference.
PewDiePie Bitch Lasagne Remix (Jacky Jungle)
Not sure about that, because after all, most users use their smartphones and iOS has quite a big market share. So there's at least Chromium and Webkit. Web devs simply won't get away with testing only in Chrome that easily.
Not enough to sustain their business, so their content starts moving toward least common denominator stuff.

It's the same story with books. Apart from rare mega hits like Harry Potter, the bread and butter of the paperback world is least common denominator stuff like Danielle Steel and Nora Roberts.

I don't think we can blame Valve here. This has happened across all forms of media. There is too much content and not enough time.
The modern "need" (mania) of defining metrics have a deep root not in knowledge but in ignorance. Smart people can reason autonomously like Galilean scientific models, ignorant can only follow Aristotelian model.

That's also the reason today we have substantial ZERO innovations and capacity to produce new things.
Like you say, it's natural, just like in the past(?) when stupid reality shows and drama was gathering all the ratings. And I'll be honest (I'm not sure I'm one of many who feel this way), when you see guys like the Paul brothers in this list I can't help but think that the bad guys won.
This I can relate with, but I would like to note that Firefox seems to be continually expanding its APIs and regaining functionality that was lost. In particular, [Tridactyl](https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl) (which tries to reimplement Pentadactyl, a kitchen-sink extension API consumer) works rather well. There are still some pain points, like the keyboard shortcut API which still hasn't been merged, but I am hopeful they eventually will be.

I too experience privacy extensions breaking websites frequently, since I'm a heavy user of those, but so far I have never encountered a case of a website that was truly broken under Firefox. It was always one of my settings and worked under a clean profile.
The obvious problem with this temptation is that it leads to atrophy (or non-development in the first place) of social skills, which, for 99% of people, is detrimental.
Progress, it's now a solved problem in modern languages like Rust, Swift or Kotlin

W3C has had only figurehead status for a number of years now. Browser standards have been defacto agreed by a consortium of the major browser vendors, and W3C have rubber stamped them.
wow, how come the mere presence of a function causes a DLL to get loaded? Is it because in order to compile, the DLL (or its export definition) needs to be present, and the compiler does some magic because of that?
Looks good, I have some remarks though.
Is making your blog look exactly like medium legal?
If it is, isn't that a dick move though?

Perhaps my poor English make hard for me to clearly express concepts, sorry. How to do your nails it's simply far less valuable than how a banks or a car work in knowledge terms, however on YT&c it get far more financial reward than a video on banking systems, mechanics etc.

Home that's more clear.
Regarding “just fine” - I may be mistaken, but my impression is the pre-home PC (and game consoles) generation is more socially adept.
The people from Google who've been demonizing the Chinese largely self identify as "liberal". Yes, it's awfully ironic.

I wouldn't call it partisan as they're nowhere close to mainstream Democrats.
I was a dedicated user of FF since 2005/6 till about a year ago. I don't why I switched to Chrome, but since then haven't touched FF.

I need an app like Fox Clocks, which worked in FF only for a long time, but now is available on Chrome too.
I disagree. nullptr is directly convertable to a boolean 0:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

printf("%d\n", nullptr == 0);

return 0;
}

Component hierarchies != OOP. They are an inevitable part of UI, which is hierarchical.

that's quite a constraint:

"The first capability an adversary needs is to mount a microarchitectural side channel attack against a vulnerable implementation. For that, the adversary needs the ability to execute code on the machine that runs the victim’s implementation."
This is like some nightmarish version of the panopticon. Future societies won't have to worry about monitoring their citizens - they'll already be raised to broadcast everything by default.
Well to be fair, at many places developers are pushed towards deadlines and leads don't care if stuff works on <insert semi-exotic browser>. Oftentimes it's just a semicolon or one extra css rule to accomplish browser compatibility. Nobody says thanks for extra compatibility.
> everybody is working on the limit of complexity they can comprehend

That's the problem right there.
The lack of internet on my LCIII as a kid forced me to scour every bit off these dozen or so "Nautilus" CDs we got in the mail. They were like little random chunks of internet. Some demos, software, music, a video (holy crap video on a computer!!!), And lots of written media.

It forced me out of necessity to give time to content I never would have bothered with otherwise.

Boredom is so healthy.

Ask HN: What are some useful JavaScript libraries and tools for bloggers
Hi, I am starting to launch my blog. I want to make interactive tutorials. For this I am going to need some tools to show reader how things exactly works.

For example let's say I want to teach readers how stack memory works in an interactive way, for this to happen readers may see a box with two buttons (push,pop) and a canvas to draw stack, so that when reader clicks on push button, an item gets pushed onto stack or when clicks on pop and the the reverse.

I know I can do this using raw JS and SVG but I am willing to use an existing tool to make writing such blog posts easier and faster.

What are your suggestions.

I came back to Firefox after years on Chrom{e,ium} because of their bad evolution. FF is far for being good IMO but far less obscene than actual Chrome.

Anyway, brace yourself: an era of "proprietary web" is coming, with a worst lock-in than Windows era in the '90s.
The trifecta I saw many people post was Twitter/Discord/Reddit moreso than DeviantArt.

I assume DeviantArt is only focussed on images themselves, and doesn't allow mixing media as trivially as the others, but would love to be corrected.

This is not a personal swipe, just a sarcastic remark on a tactless and judgemental comment.
i would not trust any Chinese browser with my data
I think you have a poor understanding of what metrics mean, and in case it’s pretty ironic since Galileo essentially defined the modern scientific method of observation, experimentation, and mathematization which birthed quantitative assessment.
Except for tabs in incognito mode. I wish there was an 'OK' for Chrome too. Especially since it is so easy to hit Cmd-Q instead of Cmd-W.

Dolphin Progress Report: November 2018
"Antibiotics can only be given to beef strictly by on-label usage"

That's wonderful news, if I understood it correctly. Did you mean that they completely stopped giving antibiotics to cattle unless and until said cattle is sick? Is that a regulation? Does it apply to chicken as well? Any links?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto-shredding helps to deal with backups.
> you have to be that kind of person.

Jus out of curiosity, what exactly do you mean by that kind of person.
How would you know any of that without actually knowing him IRL for the contrast?

Afaik your IRL description is one he gave about himself, where he also explained that he initially used YouTube to get past his "awkward around other people" issue.

In that context, I find it hard to believe that people could consistently play a "fake-persona" without that ever influencing their normal mannerisms, particularly when they have to summon this "fake-persona" on a near-daily basis.
The State of EU Tech 2018 (Atomico Report)
It’s probably less about the way Edge is built and more about the fact that Electron is explicitly developed and designed to work on Chromium.
Bear in mind that was $22M just for the last year - he made $11M in 2017 as well. Probably made a few $M in 2016 too.
The same for me until few time ago when Chrome weight and features start to be more nice for Alphabet then me.

I ditch all Alphabet services, I do not like to waste my system and network resources for it's sake.
Udemy has literally always got sales on. I don't think I've ever paid more than £11 on a course
electron apps are basically static linked sandbox.

I am sure upgrading static linked programs is easy. :D
I begrudgingly left the FF community when it became far, far easier to debug and develop on Chrome. At that time Chrome was competing with Firebug, and it was clear that the Chrome team had far more resources to be able to make continual improvements to the development experience than Firebug made. So I switched for development, and for practical reasons all other usage followed.

I wonder if my story is similar to others. From what I've seen Firefox now looks as though it has much better tools in-built and so I could consider the switch back, but I'd love some input on that.

Also, things I develop obviously have to work on Chrome, so that's another impediment to me switching over entirely, which is a shame.
Might be different with 1PassX?
Another option is an indexing engine suck as OpenGrok or source insight. These are often simpler to setup than an IDE, and yet provide a good 'read-only' environment for exploring a code base.
I highly recommend delving more into both Tolkien and Lewis, if you haven't. Basically this single poetry line is reflected in so much of both their works: Silmarillion has several threads of this sentiment woven into it.
I've been using the Nightly build as my daily browser for a couple years now. It's really good. I rarely need to open chrome for anything.
As a lifelong FF user, I simply hope they manage to stay in the game long enough to earn back market share.
Not sure about EEA only, but Revolut might work for you and it has virtual cards.

How to Use the Newest C++ String Conversion Routines – Std::from_chars
I agree, but I didn't come to this decision until a bit later in my internet life, so I'm slowly unpicking a number of services.

These days if a service doesn't support email auth I just don't bother signing up for it. I control my email address and the domain used for it, I can't see a reason to use my old gmail anymore.
I keep my db in my own freenas box and sync it between devices using resilio sync.

You also hit on a very easy solution to for those who aren't going to go to those extremes: be sure your notifications are set up. Getting an email within minutes of every purchase or paid bill has been great.
Not surprised. I took one of their courses and found it to be incredibly shallow in comparison to actual college courses and edx. It's closer to those baby youtube tutorial video than anything that resembles a course.

Anyone notice the google trademark has been remove from their android course?
I think not. I think I have a clear understating on how we trade Science for neoaristotelism because someone want brainless, managerial-driven, commercial-servant research instead of Science and culture.
The federal reserve banks are privately owned by multinationals. A conspiracy theory is not yet proven. This is simple fact. The question isn't IF that is happening. It is why do we allow it.

I don’t think it’s has less value on a case by case basis, but this is also not relevant.

There is a big difference between education/enrichment and entertainment and while some content creators might walk the line between them there is a pretty big split.

I would say pre-defining what is “valuable” is probably not the best approach because it too prone to selection bias, an instruction video on how to do nails to a beautician is far more useful than a video explaining correspondenant banking systems.

That said the content as a whole can be measured in terms of its impact on cognitive and emotional state and well being especially on large sample sizes.

We already know that social media voyeurism causes a lot emotional distress, we know that certain types of content can make you “dumber” at least in the short term.

And on a larger scale we can check the social and individual benefits for specific cases, e.g. how many individuals who watched a specific subeset of content turned their life to the better in say a period of 5 years.
It really is the small things. The one that gets me constantly is that you can't resize the columns in the Network tab.

I appreciate a lot of the stuff Firefox has been doing, but Google was very wise to realise that first class developer support was the winning move.
no love for python? that's my plan. general purpose, easy on the brain, good for statistics

What other options do they have? Even on HN you hear "I use Egde to download Chrome". Many of you here don't test your own work in Edge. At the same time Microsoft is getting the heat that Windows 10 is unstable and the last major update shows that it is. Very urgently, I imagine, Microsoft is trying to change the perception of Windows 10 by doing everything they can to make it more stable.

At least in Germany the perception of Chrome is "Google spyware". That is also the reason why in Germany (and I think in many other EU countries, too) Firefox has a much larger marketshare than in the USA. Since Windows 10 already has its spyware image in Germany, this just reinforces the impression (right or wrong) that Microsoft wants to become an even more spyware company.

P.S.: Of course I test my work in Edge.
