well to be fair sometimes my firefox makes really really strange things.
sometimes our internal sites won't work, because firefox resolves a IPv6 address (that is also in our network but for another domain.) when the thing has no IPv6 address.

i.e. git.example.com has the IPv6 and sometimes sentry.example.com resolves the ipv6 of git besides not having any IPv6 AAAA entry at all. I could not find out why that is happing, since it's only happening in FF.

besides that, I also think the developer tools got better, but are still not on par with Google Chrome.
(At the moment I primarly use Firefox, besides when the bug occurs than I open these services in Safari or Chrome)
These are not conspiracy theories. They’re practices of a search engine monopolist trying to get an unfair advantage in other markets. Compare and contrast to old Microsoft and browser bundling.
Effort, not money. As a Firefox/gmail user who routinely shits on Google, it's mostly the lock-in of any email address that keeps me coming back. I've actually opened a few paid accounts, but effort to switch is real. I gave up partly through switching over the dozens (100s?) of services that send me emails. I would never get to the point where all of my acquaintances and relatives actually use the new address.
Windows has a real problem with huge monolithic dlls that inexplicably pull in other huge monolithic dlls. Especially when each dllmain() has its own weird side effects. It leads to bizarre behavior all the time such as this.

The weirdest thing that ever happened to me was when Visual Studio 2012 hung in the installer. After debugging with an older VS, it turned out the installer rendered some progress bar with Silverlight, which was hung on audio initialization, which was hung on a file system driver, which was hung on a shitty Apple-provided HFS driver. Uninstalling HFS fixed the installer.

Why does an installer even need audio when it never played sound? Because Microsoft dependencies are fucked.
DTA is one of the reasons I’m still pissed at Mozilla to this day.
They detail it on their website, but basically they keep part of the interchange fees for each transaction.
You can see many elderly chinese in their 60s and 70s still squatting in the parks. When they're no longer able to do that, they switch to folding chairs to act as the toilet seat.

A full deep squat doesn't put the knee under as much tension as doing a half squat (or perpendicular squat).
For me, in typography the four most important things are these, in this order:

- appropriate choice of content/mono/headline typeface to the usage (regular content / preformatted content / headlines); that's really easy;

- spacing settings: line height, character horizontal spacing; that's also easy, though there's much more room for nuances;

- vertical rhythm, that's a big one; when wrong it's not as destructive to readability as what I mentioned above, but it feels really wrong, i.e. you're not sure why, but you just want to leave the site. Vertical rhythm is very hard due to technical reasons, and it's nuanced as well;

- and, finally, in the last place for me, the typeface choice. I find the differences between various fonts of the same type to have, by comparison to the things mentioned above, the least influence on my experience, whether in the aesthetic or functional sense. Not that I'm not sensitive to differences between typefaces, it's just that those other things seem to be much more influential.

I'd like to hear others' accounts of this.
Why not just follow the built-in Emacs tutorial that can be started with C-h t(press CTRL+H together, then press T)?
Actually homeManager can manage Firefox, installing extensions etc... Only it's a hack-ish and not much reliable way.

So no, actual Mozilla strategy does NOT work to stop malware's on Windows nor commercial OEMs customization, as a matter of fact made only life of pro users and admin harder and open the door for less safe setup (for instance extensions added via homeManager may not get updated by FF).
Your rant has absolutely nothing to do with the subject matter nor reality.
> I wouldn't be too sad if Firefox was switching to chromium either. Then developers would only need to worry about rendering into one engine, and users would have all their sites always working.

That would be a terrible day for the open web. Damn it, somebody inject some IE6 into these people stat.
So IE 6.2
Firefox didn't respect me when they sent my data to Cliqz, when they installed Pocket without my permission, when they started showing me ads on my home page, when they remotelly installed a Mr. Robot addon without my permission, and so on. The "Mozilla sides with the user" argument needs to die and be buried already. Mozilla is at best sloppy and at worst as evil as Google is.
One funds the other, does it not?
I bought 2 different sized ones a couple of years ago, found neither did anything beneficial for me and in fact both were quite uncomfortable to use. I've squat and defecated in dug holes while backwoods probably hundreds of times in my life, the squatty potty experience didn't begin to come close to replicating the experience, they're just a gimmick. Toilets aren't universal heights, people have different leg lengths, some people are skinny, some people are fat. Gimmick.

I think they're popular because they're different and have a lot of 'oh man it's not natural to poop like that' which draws in the paleo-types and their unicorn alone probably moved a lot of units.
> We need a free online university that teaches the same material you would learn from a top university.

I think this is Khan Academy [0]. It is a great resource that I've been using for quite a while. They even gamify it a little with points and avatars that you can buy. Funny thing is, like a lot of traditional universities, it lags behind on buzz-wordy courses.

I use BitWarden, and they let you self host the service if you want. I haven't done it yet, but I'm definitely considering it. However, passwords are encrypted on your machine then uploaded, so it's a bit more secure than them managing everything on the server.
I can't really add anything to this reply, it hits the nail on the head with some references I've not seen before.

Thanks Jach.

> Implicit nullability doesn't really save you any null checks.

It sort of does, because explicit nullability forces you to do many redundant null checks when you actually knew that something could not possibly be null.
There is no moral quandary about teaching children to respect property that isn’t theirs. If you want them out of your community there are myriad channels for addressing that.
It's a mystery how MS manages to exist. Or maybe it's just consumer market emergent chaos mastery.
Today I learned that VMS wasn't a proper OS, because proper OS let processes blindly overwrite files from others.
What is the point in posting this?
I work in a place filled with broken yaks where only new projects have privilege and everything else is denigrated as maintenance and often shuffled to outsourced teams. Only when a yak causes major customer complaints does it get "shaved". There is no encouragement or reward in fixing things that are broken or to avoid them breaking eventually. Maybe we as technologists only like new and exciting things and keeping older (not necessarily all that old) things working well is considered beneath us.
I gave emacs another try earlier this year. First vanilla, but then I missed vim keybindings so I installed evil. Then I switched to spacemacs. Eventually I decided I was barely using any emacs-specific features and just went back to vim. Vim feels so much snappier. I do miss some of the more ide features (jump to definition, execute selected code) but it wasn't worth the overhead, imho.
Okay, thanks for the info.

I agree with you vehemently with you here.
Smoking makes you focus but lazy. Not smoking makes you ambitious but unproductive. What you need is to "learn" how to focus when not smoking. There's a great set of videos and I think a book by a Google guy whose thesis is that you can "learn" behavior, and I 100% believe him. He talks about things like "practicing" not checking your email, that sort of thing. I realize that's not your issue but the technique strikes me as relevant. If I can dig up his material I'll post it here. Hope this helps.

I'm a super happy user of KeePass too, and KeePass2Android is the best password management app I've ever used.
Firejail on GNU/Linux, Capsicum on FreeBSD etc do something for that, and IMO any tech-savvy users should use them.

Basically they restrict browser capabilities to see entire filesystem to the minimum extent possible so an webappp can't download from you your personal ssh settings, plain-text saved passwords in home, secret porn collection etc.
The problem with GMail is, it's too convenient to use, and relatively secure because of 2FA support.

Also, people (including me) think that some newsletters, some bills and receipts are not very personal, so people don't care.

I have two main addresses, one is from a local provider and my all financial e-mails and other stuff is coming to that e-mail address, however they don't encrypt anything.

I also just got a free Proton mail, and will upgrade the account when I'm a little better off. Paid e-mail addresses are not meaningless, but they're harder to justify in most people's eyes.

BTW, I never store anything which makes me uncomfortable, anywhere incl. my brain. That's a much better way of living. Not that privacy conscious people is hiding something, but that's my policy.
I understand that initial encryption costs a lot, that can be one-off though. My question was more about the computation on data - whether the same computation (using this library?) on homomorphically encrypted data is performing as well as on unencrypted data? Is there a penalty to pay on every operation after initial encryption?
Well hopefully with the advent & oncoming onslaught of Language Server Protocol, most IDEs can spend their time on UI/UX polish.

No one knows how in to invert a binary tree until they learn what a binary tree is.I don't think the number of people who could learn computer science deeply is very small, although the number of people who really want to is probably small.
Yes! This is a major issue even in moderate traffic. They could probably adapt the under-side lights to function as turn signals. The scooters are just too narrow to drive one-handed.
Pinch to zoom is also non-existent so Firefox becomes useless for a many adults/elderly with poor eye-sight or even just many other users who like to browse and zoom on text/pictures etc.
It's so frustrating that this feature is not available in Firefox when you are promoting it. The absence of this feature in my small survey is the main reason people quit using Firefox.

It's actually turned into a benefit for me that the developer tools suck. I also use FF for browsing and then Chrome for debugging. Which is nice when a coworker is watching me debug over my shoulder because autocomplete never reveals the incredibly basic shit I google on a day to day basis.
KVM support. Hmmmm

Definitely a checklist to add to my typography toolbelt. Thank you! (:
I think the only viable resolution is: providing help for victims should be a very low bar, in ways which don't hurt anyone else including an accused, and punishment should retain a higher bar (although you certainly don't need to meet criminal conviction standards to fire someone accused of certain behavior.) And as with a lot of things, focus on prevention/rapid intervention as early as possible, rather than waiting until serious harm has been done.

Hi, I'm Peter, an international geek. I graduated with a first-class MEng in Electronic Systems Engineering from Lancaster University in the UK with an exchange year in UCSB. Then I went to many places on Working Holiday visas to choose where I'd like to live. I now have 4 years continuous relevant work experience from a memory card manufacturer in Taiwan, where I wrote software for the microSD testing machines. I like side projects, and I upload my software here on Show HN and hardware to Hackaday.

Ok. So you don't need to actually "read" and understand the binary code like you are reading a programming language. You look for out of place numbers.

Lots of people host on AWS and thus might want to leverage this as the underlying OS?
I have yet to encounter anything that can match the sheer flexibility of Emacs.

For example I am currently using Org mode to write some documentation complete with hyper-links, tables, foot notes and the option to export the results as LaTeX, HTML, Open-Office, and so on with just a few keypresses.

It's not just an editor, or an IDE, or even a windowing system - it is a cross-platform computing environment that can be fashioned to exactly suit whatever purpose you require.
I ask a single question with every course I take: can I list three actionable things I learned from this course?

If yes, then the price was probably worth it.

I took a Udemy marketing course that regurgitated most of the information I already knew. BUT it included a bit about positioning that I adopted and which landed me more than $10k worth of clients.

I paid $20 for it. Good deal I'd say
>Why is the arse the only place that, if covered in fecal matter, doesn't get the benefit of water?

Have you ever used a public toilet in the US? Put a bidet in a public toilet, someone will have gum and/or feces on the dispenser before the day is over purely out of malice.

As far as in the homes, it's a plumbing issue. You're either going to have to have to monkey with toilet feed lines yourself, which are often cheap fittings that seize and break, or call a plumber to come out or buy some tank system that requires a powered pump which has to be plugged in. Then of course learn how to use the thing. Or, you could pick up some charmin every time you go to the grocery and bathe regularly.

Americans are catching on to wet wipes, give it a few more decades and squirt-gun-butt-cleaning will catch on.

I've never seen a bidet in person. Not once in my entire life. In fact, the only time I've ever seen a bidet is in Crocodile Dundee and another film.

Yeah Visual Studio Code drains battery, CPU and memory. Emacs is extremely resource-efficient, it's probably around thousand times more optimized than Visual Studio Code
They have been trying really hard to squander any advantage that they might have had. Shipping an inferior product has costs.
I found the same thing with their client apps, should have checked core to see if there weren't any there as well.

I switched over about a week ago and find it pretty solid, but it's missing alot of the quality of life features that last pass had. You can't just hit command + c whilst on a entry and have it copy the password, they haven't implemented the new ios 12 features that make password managers much better on ios.

I'm running them both right now as I'm not fully committed to the switch over, but I'll see how the features get added over time.
Do the optimizations actually matter in the real world? I'm wondering if switching our CI runners from Ubuntu to Amazon Linux would speed up our build/test pipelines.
You could have a look at Brave, a commercially-supported degoogled chromium.

Another point of view is that this is just the reality. Loads of people are on gmail, and migrating isn't always simple. Pretending it is doesn't make it so, and pointing out that one never should have done it in the first place is a moot point.

In all fairness there is a big difference between research AI and applied AI/ML. You can spend lots of time on the former before even touching a keyboard. But people can do useful things with the latter with a fairly light dose of theory.

Don't worry, they'll just block access to the VPN providers without any requiring any further legislation because they can. They literally have no idea of the security implications of pursuing this, they just want to be "tough on crime" and protect us from all the terrorists. They say not to worry, they'll only use it for crimes that can carry a penalty of 2+ years, but that's most of them, and you only have to be suspected in order to be targetted. What can anyone do? Say you're not a suspect? Hmmm, that sounds suspicious, better give me all your devices and credentials just to be safe.
It also demonstrates that forks are irrelevant and no one cares about them unless they come from major players with enough money and political power to push them.
A big reason Inuse chrome is that it is literally everywhere I need it to be: Mac, Linux, Windows, IOs, and Android. Edge is only on one of those and the only time I interact with a Windows machine is when my wife needs help fixing/recovering from something majorly broken on her computer. I haven't used a windows machine in a professional setting in ... 8 or 9 years at a minimum. Purely anecdotal, but my experience leads me to believe that, even though users on alternative platforms may be smaller in number, they tend to be the people building things for everyone else to use. Hence, Edge is stuck in a walled garden of Microsoft's own making and they aren't putting in the effort to make it work with the stuff that runs everywhere else.
> It doesn't matter how pushy or honest is google. Users have to go out of their way to use chrome instead of the default browsers and they still do.

Not entirely true. Chrome as been bundled with other popular software for significant time.

Also saying someone has to go out of their way to install it when it is advertised on the front of Google.com isn't my definition of "out of their way".
There are many factors of the global economy that determine the market-determined yield at a given time. The only way a country being "good with money" is in comparison to the yield of other central banks at the same time.

I don't have the data, but if Germany's yield followed a similar trend down then up, but remained below the US throughout, then the hypothesis holds.

This.

I use FF for normal browsing and Chrome for Google based stuff that requires an account, like Gmail, YouTube, Docs, etc. Besides not having ANY performance issues with FF I think it is good practice to separate most of your accounts from normal surfing.
Firefox has improved tremendously. But I guess some people are still missing their favorite features.

For me it's pinch zooming. I've been waiting for it for ages. It's the last issue keeping me from leaving Chrome.

Just tried newest Firefox on macOS and Windows 10, and sadly it still didn't work on either.

This feature is great for hiding flashing sidebars and distracting navigation bars. And of course zooming in occasionally, when the need arises.
I think it would be nice if `NOT NULL` was set by default on columns. However there are a lot of legitimate use cases that can't be (practically) solved by restructuring.

Data can be incomplete. Maybe only because it is not (yet) known. If NULL values were impossible it would create the need for one additional table with a foreign key relationship for every attribute that can be independently NULL. Sometimes this pattern is a good idea, but I don't think I can be convinced it should be the only possible solution.

How does GDB differ with using the debuger integrated in an IDE, like Visual Studio? Does it has more features?
I've made my peace with null. Null is basically just an implicit

assert(valid(x))

before every time you call a method on x. Similary, I think of exceptions as explicit "crash-unless-caught" commands.

If you write your program with the "blow up early" mentality anway, or use static checking tools and a bit of discipline, I've found that null looses it's terror.
