Then you may find the "narrow-to-region" command useful too. It allows you to select a region of text, and make everything else in the buffer invisible and unmodifiable.

I find it useful when trying to grok a specific function without getting distracted, or more usefully, doing a search-and-replace without fear of doing a replace in an unintended part of the buffer.

AFAIK there was a bug causing it to eat a lot of CPU on non-native resolutions (display scaling), which may explain some differences in user's experience.

Thanks, just to paraphrase back to make sure I understood:

The lithium is not recycled, due to economies of scale.

Same for the graphite.

There is no foreseeable shortage of either graphite or lithium, with the scale that we use it, and the scale that it can be found in the wild.

The majority of the materials in a battery, however, are recycled quite easily.

That right?

Are there any concerns to the mining of either element? I've seen some scare posts, but don't know enough about them to know if they were worth taking seriously.
In vast majority of cases, C enums are used in the same way as Rust enums - i.e. only the named enum variants are supported by any code that touches enum values (and if you're lucky, it might check for other stuff and reject it explicitly, but more often people forget and things just don't work or silently misbehave). So in practice this behavior is correct.

For those very rare cases where someone used open-ended enums in their API, ascribing some meaning to unnamed values that must be exposed, you can always use i32 etc.
> All the Amazon employees were covered by employer-provided healthcare

Which (unless they have a weird hybrid regular health insurance + workers comp plan, which I've never heard of but might theoretically exist, especially if they self-insure for both functions) is probably immaterial, since it'll be Amazon’s workers comp plan, not the employees' regular health insurance (no matter who pays for it), that will be involved here.
Reminds me of the 1990 network-wide outage AT&T suffered, aka "the big one of nine-oh". Caused by a bad update which took a couple of weeks to eventually bork the entire network.
Something like 80% of a typical lithium battery cost is drying it in an oven before sealing. Lithium cost is about 5%, possibly less. The other materials involved actually make up more of the cost than the lithium.
A good part of their claim against google was that some results were unique and not local. But their definition of local was based on "local domains" which would exclude content on national sites with place specific news.

I do believe that google is too extreme in tracking and in bubbling people, but their methodology was pretty flawed.
I suspect it was a root CA (they possibly had a private PKI) that expired - I saw a tweet suggesting that they had to manually apply a fix to every deployment of the software, which is consistent with having to change the trust chain.
>I will probably be heavily downvoted but here goes nothing.

>I guess all what I 'm trying to say is, don't be afraid of native people! Web devs are willing to go through insane hoops and loops instead of just... giving the real thing a go. So weird.

And the weirder thing is the expectation of getting downvoted when expressing anything that dares to question the accepted religion. Despite making a polite and well presented argument, embedded in real experience. It's a shame.

It's almost like javascript developers prefer diversifying over 100 different frameworks than diversifying 1-2 different languages. All of this while Swift and Kotlin are very close to javascript. The learning curve is way easier than going from Angular to React.

Just a few years ago, almost nothing checked the revocation lists. I revoked certs for some popular domains and was concerned about ssl caches and proxies... turns out, an owl heard it. An odd dog barked. No impact. Not even from the folks that embedded our certs onto their servers for legacy code reasons. Perhaps this has changed over the last couple of years.

I'm also curious on this. My understanding is that common computer li-ion batteries basically expire after a few years. Whether you use them or not. Sorta sucks, as I used to buy spare batteries for laptops. Turned out, the spares would be as bad as the worn out one in the computer.

The performance of puppeteer is super bad on CGF (you can read more about it here https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/issues/3120). It would actually be great to have someone really improve this situation instead of dismissing it as a weird IO problem.
Any chances that with this move, Windows adopts Chromium instead of Internet Explorer as embedded browser for Windows applications?

That will remove plenty of IE rendering issues and also the need to link a whole CEF to get Chromium rendering in your application.

Add AppleScript support to Firefox and I’ll switch today.

I don’t like Chrome’s dominance either, but what do you want me to do if your browser does not support a feature I use everyday, multiple times a day (and that was there but was removed, back in version 3)? You’re giving me a browser that is useless for my needs, so I can’t use it.

You bet I’m thinking of leaving Chrome behind (and will likely do so once I make a clean install to Mojave, that should happen soon) but my only real alternative is Safari. I’d rather that alternative be Firefox, but it isn’t. I rely on browser AppleScript control so heavily, I’d sooner stop using a web browser than switch to Firefox.

And if you think I’m alone in that, there’s a chunk of the macOS automators community you’re not visiting. We build our tools with support for major browsers (and some minor) but never Firefox, because it can’t do it. We don’t even mention it anymore. If someone asks why our tools don’t work on Firefox, we answer that it’s because you don’t support the necessary feature. The number of people asking is lower every year.

Every time there’s a Firefox thread on HN, you see the same complaints from macOS users: poor performance, missing features (I’ve seen lackluster Keychain support also mentioned).

Give me a browser I can use, and I will.

P.S.: Even if I could code enough to add what I need, it’s not even clear to me from your bug tracker if you’d take the addition. Last I looked, I couldn’t even decipher if AppleScript support is something desirable or not.
Batteries don't need to hit theoretical maximums, they only need to get within the ballpark of liquid fuels (maybe .25-.5x)? This will basically require the use of air in the reaction, since one of the reasons liquid fuel can store so much energy in such a compact and lightweight form is that it doesn't require storage of one of the primary reactants (oxygen).
Two images of the miners' strike, an instant apart: so which is the classic?
This article's assessment of Safari is way off. It's an excellent browser, and my default browser as a web designer and application developer. The interface is night and day superior to Chrome, it's very very fast on macOS and iOS, and it's often been at the forefront of design-related improvements to the web.

The one area it's historically been behind on (progressive web apps) is the reason it gets knocked by people who care primarily about progressive web apps. Personally I'm more interested in the web primarily as a visual interface communications medium, and so in that sense, I'm actually against a number of decisions Google has made in its development of Chromium over the past few years (because Google has also prioritized PWA over other use cases for the web).

Anyway, if you don't care for Safari, that's your jam, but to state objectively that Safari is mediocre and Chrome is much better is simply unjustifiable and reveals the bias of the author.
How well can you tell factual from opinion statements?
All my time writing Internet Explorer extensions and HTA desktop apps in C++ and JavaScript and HTML with ActiveX went down the drain, but those skills got me a job writing xulrunner desktop apps in C++ and JavaScript and XUL with XP/COM. And then all that work went down the drain too!

Now I know how to write Electron apps, but before you know it, all that work is going to go down the drain, too! Get used to it. ;)

Change is good, and each iteration gets better, and if you're not enthusiastic about learning new stuff all the time, you're in the wrong industry. I do NOT want to go back to ActiveX or XP/COM, thank you.

Did you know that Mozilla actually invented words to describe the process of removing XP/COM: "DeCOMification" and "DeCOMtamination"?

Honestly I want to move to firefox but there is still so many things wrong. It's a lot better but after trying to migrate for 30min I already find 2 basic missing features from chrome.

The first one is the tab research feature. It available for many years in chrome I don't understand why it's still missing in firefox. I can't type "yo [hit tab] my video" to find a video on youtube.

And the second feature missing is the search highlight in the scrollbar. It's a mandatory feature for my when searching on a long page (like this one for example) to search for "firefox" and find in the scrollbar everywhere it is. It's a feature available in chrome for the beginning I think.

If you want to deny the existence of Mental Illness, thats one thing. But to acknowledge it exists and still blame the patient for succumbing to it? That my friend, a level of mental gymnastics that even climate change deniers or flat earthers would envy.
Well, let me be more blunt: there is zero chance they're playing fair here.
>[Selling "access to hardware" preloaded with data] is a particularly intriguing framing as it would allow Facebook to rationally and legally argue that the product of value being “sold” is indeed “hardware” rather than “data.” To its two billion users, however, such distinctions are meaningless.

This doesn't pass common sense muster to me. There's no way this would fly in a court, right?

Could you imagine: "your honor, I never sold illegal handguns, I only ever sold holsters that just happened to have handguns in them. Plenty of other people sell holsters, and nobody ever prosecutes them for arms dealing!"

Making something open-source does not mean you don't want to make money off it.
In my experience electron apps, including VS Code, have atrocious performance on older hardware where native apps like Visual Studio run great.

By atrocious performance, I mean even such things as the application significantly lagging behind my typing speed.

At any rate, I’ve often wondered when the endless pile of layers and abstractions has to topple.
>It could be argued whether NeXT or Be was the better option,

I think a lot of people start mashing years together when it comes to BeOS. Apple announced the NeXT acquisition in December 1996.

In December 1996, BeOS was still a developer preview with the first "real" release still about two years away. NeXTStep was already 8 years old.

In 1996 BeOS was at a completely different state of readiness and maturity than it was with R5 (which everyone remembers fondly).

USENET is full of posts, 96-98, of individual developers announcing with triumph the porting of UNIX core utilities to the BeOS developer release versions-- utilities that were already present and mature in NeXT/Openstep.

Mac OS X Server 1.0 was released about two years after the deal was finalized and I imagine it would have taken about two years of really hard work just to make BeOS multiuser, nevermind porting all of the core utilities.

It took a couple more years (it was a somewhat jerky transition for many users) before a "usable" OS X was released but from the beginning there was an wide variety of software available for it that was easily ported from NS/OS, and features like Display Postscript, Objective-C, a mature set of APIs, and most importantly of all Project Builder were there from the beginning.

The software scene on BeOS in 1996 was... sparse.
Trickery is negotiation by other means.

These would not be an issue in the first place if we had a union, or a state legislature that cared about workers, or business managers with strong ethics. So many things already have to be going wrong for uncompensated non-competes to be common, that it hardly even matters what you do with them. If you really want/need the job, you just sign what they put in front of you, and then hope they don't find out when you inevitably reneg.

>But liberal to progressive people at least hold the idea that it is a moral imperative not to discriminate and at least try not to.

This can be legally interpreted in many ways:

and I quote: "It is unlawful for a company to monopolize or attempt to monopolize trade, meaning a firm with market power cannot act to maintain or acquire a dominant position by excluding competitors or preventing new entry. It is important to note that it is not illegal for a company to have a monopoly, to charge “high prices,” or to try to achieve a monopoly position by aggressive methods."

"It is illegal for businesses to act together in ways that can limit competition, lead to higher prices, or hinder other businesses from entering the market."

Facebooks decision to whitelist was entirely 'inner circle' and strategic.

It was not an open, rules-based scenario.

For example, there's no reason that 'Vine' did anything to breach the 'good actor' scenario - FB banned them for competitive reasons.

'Bumble' got special access because FB is an investor. (Did OkCupid? Tinder?)

Moroever, it seems that users were not properly notified of the 'good actors use' of their data.

One feature I miss in mainstream browsers like Chrome is the ability to completely disable tabs, leaving the window manager in control of browser windows. This is very valuable for advanced users of tiling WM that seek to automate as much of their workflow as possible.

I've tried a couple of extensions that "pull" tabs out of the parent window, but it never worked perfectly.

If Firefox had native support for this (apparently simple) feature, I believe it would gain the preference of many users of tiling window managers.

I've been playing around with Gutenberg for the last few weeks or so, and to be honest?

It's just not the right setup for a post editor. It's okay as a site builder if you put a decent amount of work into creating your own blocks and what not, and I suspect it may have a niche on very large media sites which have a bunch of overly complicated article layouts.

But for your average Joe, it's just awkward and makes posting simple posts more tedious/waste more time than it needs to be.

It also shouldn't have been merged into core already either, given the software clearly isn't ready and basic things like accessibility aren't up to par. It's also really poor timing given that many sites are getting ready for Christmas, and retailers likely won't want to have to teach their staff a whole new editor in order to add products or deals at the most lucrative time of year.

God help any agencies too. Those guys will be working round the clock to try and fix client sites broken by the new editor (or angry customers yelling at them about how they can't figure out how to write content any more).

Not a good move guys.
