RSS is dead...

I have a local html page devoted to news. An entry for a specific site will see at least two urls: The main site's URL and a link to it's RSS feed.

Linking to the feed directly was a great way to bypass all the modern garbage on the home page to see a simple list of articles (not unlike HN's home page). It's borked now...

None of my RSS links render. Chromium was very bad at this but at least it rendered a few (a couple of examples below), FF64 doesn't render any (in any form):

http://feeds.arstechnica.com/arstechnica/index

https://feeds.feedburner.com/ItsFoss

A huge part of my ability to enjoy the web has just been destroyed.:( I'll have to test this on other browsers...

edit (update): both sample links above are working now (odd). Most others with XML, RSS, Atom extensions do not render (FF offers to open in external app or save).
> Mozilla did the same with tab groups, then the addon was abandoned.

Wouldn't that indicate that the extension was not that widely used, and as such Mozilla were correct in removing it from the central codebase?
As someone who picked up songwriting a few years back after having been a serious musician in my younger years, this is the kind of applications I love to see.

This is exactly how it should be. You found the right pain points. Now extend it with piano and you are getting really close to something I would pay for.

There are some small things like the use of the word "tabs" instead of chord charts but I love where this is heading.

I might write my next song in this. Or even try to add my older songs.
You have no idea how excited I am for this. I use sway as my daily driver since it supports HiDPI so much better than i3, but the one caveat to that has been firefox and xwayland. Once this ships, sway will have nearly flawless HiDPI support.

I don't see how the IRS can be gutted enough: it remains a hive of ultra-liberals intent on shutting down republican support. Right now the liberals in the IRS are hunkering down, hoping Trump retires from office before noticing that so many IRS staff members came from leftist-leaning universities on the east and west coasts.

I will grant you that we need major campaign finance reform very, very badly - to the point that it should be _the_ one most important political item on the USA's agenda - above immigration, above China, etc.

Citizens United (the controversial Supreme Court decision saying that corporations had the same right as individuals to spend money to influence elections) is a travesty to democracy - one that I oppose along with the most flaming of flaming liberals. But the way that liberals have chosen (to burrow into the various bureaucracies and implement a de facto legislative agenda from there) to control campaign finance is simply wrong.

IRS gutted? Hardly. Go talk to one of them in one of his/her unguarded moments (perhaps after sharing a joint). Watch their eyes light up when you mention that maybe Beto O'Rourke can duplicate Obama's trajectory.

As far as police choosing to deny service: police will always give theft low priority.

Man, judging from your other comments, you must really have a bone to pick with DigitalOcean.

It's rather more likely that the marketplace won't be cut back, due to exactly the factors you've mentioned. The real issue, of course, is that all of this cheap junk sells, and sells really well, even if it's counterfeit or just junk. So there really is a lot of growth potential in that part of the business: the growth and success of Walmart over the past twenty years is further evidence of this.

Probably wait for something to be announced like "Prime Plus" for premium brands as they try to figure out how to differentiate products in the market, or watch them continue to expand into new types of markets altogether... there's very little for them else to do.

If this release makes it actually usable on MacOS I would be so happy. Everyone says to use FireFox here, but they don't realize that it runs horribly on machines that a lot of people use to develop on.

Reading the release notes:

Improved performance for Mac and Linux users, by enabling link time optimization (Clang LTO). (Clang LTO was enabled for Windows users in Firefox 63.)

Doesn't seem like this fixes the high CPU issue on MacOS.

Maybe in another few dozen releases they'll fix it. Doesn't Mozilla realize how many people develop on MacOS? Everyone I know develops on a Mac.
>One last thing: If your interpretation is right (and it seems plausible, maybe even likely), then I really need to locally archive my emails and contacts more often haha.

I mean, yeah, you probably should if you care about it. Most office exchange servers are configured to allow some users to "unsend" emails. Outlook dutifully deletes the email from my co-workers inboxes, but my thunderbird client simply tells me that someone sent a recall request and lets me choose what to do with it.

Ignoring the benefits to taxi drivers, and focusing on a pure economic standpoint, Uber/Lyft did clean up the market place by busting local government taxi commissions which had previously created both economic minimums and maximums around fixed prices and fixed number of cars on the road respectively. This lead drivers to focus on only a certain type of trip, and reduced the total number of rides people took due to a higher cost, uber pool further added to the later one there.

This said, every tragedy of the commons scenario that was previously avoided by regulation happened, the streets of major cities are almost entirely cars for hire, where it's nearly impossible to make a living wage working as a driver on only 40 hours a week. This right here is the cost of neoliberalism, yes more people have jobs, the economy expanded to meet a more desired demand, but the workers in the field are largely worse off than had they all been protected in other industries alongside scarce resources being even more competitive than they were previously.

I’m more and more convinced every day that the ability to detect fake signals of quality is becoming an essential life skill that should be taught in school or something. From fake reviews on Amazon and Yelp to PR masquerading as news to payola on the radio, to web site SEO / search rank manipulation, phony followers on Twitter accounts, you can’t seem to rely on anything as an impartial measure of quality. There’s no way to tell what’s any good anymore without observing yourself. It’s all fake!
The Anatomy of a Monster Truck (2003)
1. I really dislike the firefox omnibar and that I can't set it to just be an address bar. I sometimes visit washingtonpost.com but not often enough that I have a bookmark, and every time firefox insists it should be wasingtonpost.com.co, which I must have visited at some point but it is not bookmarked and the suggestion never goes away (I have firefox set to clear history when exiting, but I tried to do a "clear now" and it still appears). This means I can't type washingtonpost.com and go to washingtonpost.com, which is all I really want from typing in an address bar.

3. userChrome.css is poorly documented but a nice option, not sure if Chrome has something similar. I have firefox set so that each tab is just a favicon and an extra pixel on each side. It mostly works well, except at some point the audio icon started appearing (it didn't when I first made the change) and it appears over the next tab, that makes it impossible or nearly impossible to directly select the next tab.

5. Reader mode is exellent if you use a more comprehensive javascript blocker, since many pages work in reader mode that wouldn't otherwise. Hopefully this isn't because it is actually running some javascript in reader mode or otherwise avoiding the usual blocking rules.

I think the reason there is a focus on "firefox is better than crome in some fundamental ways" is that once you get down to individual features they both change frequently and a feature that one person likes might really annoy someone else. The reasons to avoid chrome are not likely to change unless firefox gets as bad as chrome. If you convince someone to switch for some random feature then there is a much better chance they will switch back in a few releases when the random feature breaks in some way. Additionally, it isn't clear that firefox has an opportunity to convince all that many end users.

That being said, anyone who wants to do a feature comparison should go ahead and do it. The article seems to be saying "the real problem here is that other people are writing about the differences they care about".

It's a shame, but not a surprise. I used to teach Fusion Tables to journalists [0] as a gateway into the power of SQL/relationships. The merge functionality was an effective if watered-down version of a proper SQL join, but it got the point across in a way that VLOOKUP couldn't. But Fusion Tables's killer function was its integration with Google Maps. For novice users who couldn't build a simple HTML page to to save their lives, Fusion Tables was an incredible way to create a powerful interactive with data.

I stopped teaching FT because several years ago because it seemed clear, in an implicit way, that it wasn't getting the traction. I hardly ever heard anyone inside or outside of Google talk/tweet/etc about it, in the same way people do for Sheets or BigQuery. I missed the easy data-to-interactive-map workflow for teaching, but for production work, FT was just too clunky (and merge far too limited compared to a SQL join) to justify using as a data store.

Most of the information anyone needs on asking good questions is in the link that @admay posted. I'll just add/reiterate:

1. Show some effort. Don't ask people to "do your homework" so to speak. Explain what you already did / tried, what your current working theory is, etc.

2. Include relevant details. More is usually better, although you don't necessarily want to write a novel.

This is a great idea. Experimentation and recommendation of chord progressions is my top feature priority at the moment. I think there could be some really interesting and useful stuff here. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! I've considered it before but not sure anymore why I did not choose it. Though it probably relates to the fact that we are a small volunteer project with insecure funding (i.e. currently none) that tries to keep a records database of contact information up-to-date. This goes hand-in-hand with complex permission management/input controls (i.e. those listed should be able to submit a request for modification or for adding their record) and the possibility for integrating the result in a website. I don't think such integration tools are included in the free version
Why tabs? I much prefer guitar-spaces!
I, for one, work non-remote because of the social factor. Being among people physically is awesome (for me). And there’s surely a lot of founders who prefer building up a company with an on-site social environment. A co-working space does not count, because of the lack of continuity with your surrounding peers (ie. no common projects that lead to ‘being together’), hence its much harder to establish long-term relationships.

I'm not. Wayland lacks a lot compared to X.[1]

From the linked-to-post, it lacks:

* Programmatic output configuration (xrandr, arandr, etc.)

* CLI clipboard access (xsel, xclip)

* Third party app launcher/window switcher (rofi, dmenu, albert, docky).

* Clipboard managers (parcellite, klipper, Gpaste, clipman, etc.)

* Third party screen shot/capture/share (shutter, OBS, ffmpeg, import, peek, scrot, VNC, etc.)

* Color picker (gpick, gcolor3, kcolorchooser)

* xdotool

Lack of Wayland versions of these apps is a deal breakers for me, and I'm going to avoid Wayland until it gets them.

An interesting case study that's recently had me revising my views on Kubrick's obsessiveness is one of his less-appreciated films, Barry Lyndon.

To reproduce the not-yet-electrified world of its 18th-century setting, Kubrick famously spent huge amounts of time on that project finding ways to shoot scenes using only natural light (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Lyndon#Cinematography). This went so far as shooting interior scenes set at night using only candlelight, since that's how they would have been lit in real life. Cameras aren't really designed to work well with such low and inconsistent lighting, so he had to go to great lengths to get usable footage.

Ever since its release, the standard take on Barry Lyndon has been that the results didn't justify all that effort. The unusually low lighting made scenes seem willfully obscure, like Kubrick was capriciously forcing the viewer to work extra hard just to keep up. This (along with a sadly weak performance by Ryan O'Neal in the critical role of the eponymous Barry) is a big part of why Barry Lyndon has languished for decades in the "lesser Kubrick" bargain bin.

But a recent remastering has produced a 4K version of Barry Lyndon, and I was surprised to discover when watching that version on a large TV that suddenly the film popped visually in a way it never had before. Where before it had seemed dark and hard to watch, now it felt more like observing a great painting, with lots of subtle detail I'd never noticed before. And then I realized that all those years of bad feelings about Barry Lyndon had come from watching it in low resolution on small screens, while Kubrick had been shooting for the big, bright cinema screen. I'd literally been watching the movie wrong all that time.

So it turns out Kubrick's obsessiveness in this case really did pay off. Those of us who'd only ever seen it on home video -- which is to say, most people -- just had to wait for the quality of the home viewing experience to catch up to his standards in order to see it.
DO is my favorite hosting service for sure.
