On one hand as a user it's annoying to come back to my machine in a freshly rebooted state because of updates.

On the other as a technical support person, both for pay and free, the pain of dealing with non updated windows is the worst. The only way Windows can possible stay secure is to update a lot.

I actually like their new strategy of doing a "feature update". They do them too frequently (once a year would be better) but it prevents the Windows 7 problem where they never rolled updates together after SP1. Last time I installed 7 SP1 on something I had another 100 updates to install.
I use Firefox + uMatrix to selectively enable javascript for specific sites; otherwise javascript is strictly disabled for most sites.
I was referring to the Accreditation Council for Graudate Medical Examination being staffed by doctors:

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/thanks-to-doctors-there-a...

You don't need to be at least 30, but since most new doctors are that old, I assume there's a reason that's stopping them from becoming doctors earlier, therefore also restricting supply:

>One of the greatest concerns for students considering a career in medicine is how much additional education is needed—along with the associated time, effort, and medical school debt.

The timeline can seem daunting. Four years for medical school, a minimum of three years for residency, and a few more if you want to specialize with a fellowship. Combine that with an average starting age of 24 (or 26 for DO—doctor of osteopathic—applicants), and this means the vast majority of medical students don’t become independent physicians until their early 30s.

Not all updates are the same. I run Enterprise LTSC which only gets security and bug fixes every few weeks. These are small and have limited impact on your day to day use. Its the old static Windows model.

Its the feature updates that are the problem. And you literally can't defer those on Home.

Are you on Pro or Home?

On my Home edition machines, it's easily more than 3 times a year.

Windows is my daily driver too, and while I generally like Windows, the two things I hate the most are the updates and how bad the search is for launching apps (I know some people are going to chime in and say search is fine, but if you have a lot of apps installed, it can be laughably bad).
They probably aren't keen observers, but if the browser is slow or confusing and they get annoyed, maybe they wouldn't install it next time? It's not like people are completely oblivious to quality.

But we're just comparing impressions and I'd bet there is better data out there.
Similar journey here! It's an exciting journey personally.
Water's heat capacity means you'll need a lot of water in order to keep a house heated for weeks, in a temperate climate.

There are interesting Phase Change Materials (PCM) out there that take advantage of a material's latent heat properties that get you a bit closer.
What I believe is going on is that for small updates it's issuing a lot of IO to create a restore point; meanwhile for large updates it's essentially issuing 16-30GB of IO to do a complete reinstall of Windows. I base this assumption off the fact that an artifact of these large feature updates is a `Windows.old` directory they use to power their 10-day rollback feature.

For the smaller updates turning off system restore helped immensely on my NVMe-based system, however I've noticed MS seems to re-enable it after every major feature update. (Of course, they muck up a bunch of my other settings as well, so I guess that shouldn't be surprising.)

The only solution that worked for me, long-term, was installing Linux.
Friends don't let friends use AMP. AMP pages aren't really "85% faster", they just are preloaded by Google, in exchange for letting Google hijack page navigation and serve content from their own domain, and this "benefit" only works if you're using Google Search to get there.
95%? I haven’t seen less than 20% mobile Safari on any site I’ve worked on in the last few years, and that’s not even including Edge / IE / Firefox and desktop Safari.

Firefox was never the dominant browser. Neither was it on its way to crushing IE. You my friend are recalling a fairytale.
Firefox and Safari broke IE's dominance of the web. Chrome came along much later.

Safari killed flash in favor of HTML 5.

I'm obviously not rejecting materialism, I'm merely attempting to distinguish between "mental" and "physical", i.e., the cause of your 'mental illness' is "nutrient deficiency" vs. "your wife left you". If, on balance, people experience mental distress when they experience extreme emotional turmoil without any significant accompanying physical event, we can't posit a physical cause and therefore shouldn't seek a purely physical solution (drugs).

People have 'mental illness' because of mental problems, not physical problems.

Also: everything has some genetic component, this is trivially true. Genetics are what separates humans from dogs and plants. It doesn't necessarily help us to explain the phenomenon adequately.

Also also: another way science works is its inability to prove negatives. Therefore, saying, "someday we might discover this" can be said for pretty much anything that remains unproven.
Not to sell you on something you don't want, but I adore the Switch. My favorite aspect of it is that I hit the power button and I am instantly in my game. I feel like it's easy to play in 10-15 minute chunks when I have a little bit of free time available. I play in handheld mode probably 80% of the time and I find myself taking it with me more than I did when I had the original DS. On top of that, this system has the best 3rd party content of any Nintendo console since the 64. I'd really recommend it if you have interest in it at all.
For what it's worth you can cancel/skip specific deliveries with Blue Apron. That helps some on the logistics side if you know in advance you're going to be busy the day of delivery. But it doesn't completely address the issue, especially since you have to skip a certain amount of time in advance.
> Both Chrome and Chromium run Blink under the hood, the rendering engine that started as a WebKit fork in 2013 when Google grew dissatisfied with the Apple-led project

Wait, is this accurate? I remember back when Chrome was released, people were talking about how it used parts of both WebKit and Gecko, and the exact specs of which rendering was used changed based on the website.

I remember not liking Chrome the moment it came out. Google had poured money into Firefox for years and then suddenly came out with (an initially) closed source competitor. Sure it's open source now, but it didn't start that way, and was a slap in the face to the Mozilla project.
For me the updates always seem to reset and further reduce privacy settings. I don't want cortana or ads, and now I need to hack the registry to get rid of this stuff? What a joke.
Agreed, 10.4 Tiger was the high point.

IIRC, Leopard was a bit of a disappointment. It was delayed because they moved engineers to work on the first iPhone... And that's pretty much when Mac stopped being a priority at Apple.
I know. To elaborate (and reply indirectly to will_brown) I think it's impossible to say how egregious $14k is for billing without knowing how severe a sprain it is and how much they had to do to diagnose it. Maybe he walked out with a bandage, but maybe he got an x-ray or mri? And ERs are expensive because they have to handle anything from a MI, stroke, poisoning, massive trauma, or ID case. If you go to one, you have to pay for use of that very complex facility. Then you pay for diagnostics that they deem necessary. Then you pay for the attending/specialist(s)'s time. A thumb trauma could be super severe and it was probably a good call, and it's great he walked out with a bandage. But I don't think that a $14K er bill is that out of bounds given what they are intended for, nor do I think that a bill needs to be commensurate with treatment rendered.

edit: since this thread is about cancer, I will not reply more because it's OT in pretty fundamental ways. The US healthcare system has massive issues, but I am not sure this particular case relates to the thread or is a great example of the dysfunction in general. A price sheet is not possible for "my thumb really hurts" ... it will depend on a lot of situationally appropriate decisions being made by the attending that cannot be predicted.

It occurs to me that this could be combined with a standard wind turbine.

I assume turbines already generate heat, and they also require brakes for when wind speed gets too high. Best case you could be generating maximum electricity and using the brake to generate useful heat. I guess this would aid dispatchability of the electricity, certainly with regards to limiting output as well.

The most popular browsers in China take a similar approach: they're hybrids of Chromium and Microsoft's Trident engine for legacy pages that require NPAPI plugins.

There's huge bias on both sides, especially to the extremes.

There are very few moderate left or moderate right news outlets, perhaps because moderate news isn't as prone to the virality of the far left/far right viewpoints.

"Fact checking" largely seems to be an attempt at appeasement to the error-rate of instant news.

i must disagree that the appetite is not there. consider this indian TV station: https://www.republicworld.com/livetv

you will note that on the marquee at the top, one of the statements reads "DECISIVE BATTLE IS NEED OF HOUR."

on twitter, both indians and pakistanis appear to be calling for escalation of the war while believing that their side is the one that is winning the skirmishes. the people i've been following on both sides appear to think that their militaries will prevail. of course, their statements cannot be mutually true in reality. but the public opinion apparatus appears to be oriented towards pushing an immediate escalation of the war, and there may be significant grassroots support for escalation independently of that.

on the other hand, pakistani airforce removed the fuzes from bombs which they dropped on several indian positions, so it was more like a "we could have gotten you, if we wanted to" action. and the indian air force appears to be bombing empty ground from the get-go, which serves the same signalling purpose. furthermore, for all the artillery shelling the two sides have been doing, it seems like casualties and damage are nearly nonexistent at present.

i doubt that billions will die. but this isn't a minor flap anymore -- it's the precipice of a larger and more destructive conflict. such a conflict could still be limited, however, such as in the kargil war.
Apparently a eGPU will solve this. Plug the eGPU into the host machine/laptop, pass through into the windows VM, and itt'l work (apparently) without having to mess about with, well, anything. Would love to hear if someone has actually had any success with this approach.
Zelda works in that framework.

Pokemon could use changes to the formula, but open world just doesn't sound very good.
I suspect you are right to ask this question, and have a few items that might point in the direction of an answer.

Fuji water bottles are rectangular not only as a unique branding but in order to economize on space in shipping to reduce transport cost.

Large lightweight items cost a lot to ship because they are lightweight and inefficiently use the vehicle. The ideal truckload is a full volume at the maximum carrying weight.

So, compared to transporting loads of compacted glass shards, I'd expect that transporting truckloads of empty bottles could be not only high in monetary costs, but also CO2 costs.

Chrome (from the consumer POV) wasn't about freeing us from "corporate greed". It was about:

- Isolating tabs

- Seamless upgrades (seriously, why does Firefox STILL ask on startup if I'd like to wait and install an update?)

- Syncing between devices

- Performance (which at the time was largely terrible)

Most of this still holds true, at least for me, so I see myself using Chrome for years to come.

> Within two years, Chrome accounted for 15% of all Web traffic on desktop—for comparison, it took Firefox 6 years to get there. Google managed to deliver a fast, thoughtfully designed browser that was an instant hit among users and Web developers alike.

It took 2 years for IE to get 20% [1], and I wouldn't describe IE 1-3 as "fast and thoughtfully designed". I think the lesson here is simply that big tech companies with an established channel for reaching users can boost market share faster than open-source non-profit projects.

And then of course, some owners just leave the windows down, other 'car windows' have special foils, multilayer, some even have bullet resistent qualities, but give it time and physical access and it's always a car compromised in the end.

This is one of the many concerns, yes.

Another big concern is privacy from the other side: if you're using Tor or an anonymizing VPN while visiting a website looking to deanonymize users, and the website owners see a DNS query to their nameserver from a Comcast DNS server somewhere in a midwestern state timed perfectly before your HTTP request coming from a Tor exit node or anonymizing VPN, they can potentially infer your broad location and ISP, and potentially narrow your identity down from there (especially if you ever visited that site, or an affiliated site or site that shares data with them, in the past without using an anonymizer), negating the purpose of the anonymizer.

If all they see is a query from 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8, you could be anywhere in the world, using any ISP.

And your ISP can do this in an even more precise way. Customer makes DNS query for siteispsdontlike.com and then immediately sends a lot of traffic to a server registered to an anonymizing VPN company. That tells the ISP "this customer is visiting this 'suspicious' website, and also covering it up by using this specific anonymizer".

It's based on Electron and I've been going deep into Chrome internals as well as experimenting with Chrome extensions.

It's definitely a double edges sword here but I think there's an overly negative view of Chrome and/or having one platform.

Chrome is owned by Google. However, Chromium is Open Source.

Electron wouldn't exist without Chromium and there are other browsers based on Chromium.

I don't really see the benefit of duplicating things for the sake of duplicating them.

A lot of Firefox fans here argue that Firefox provides an alternative to keep us safe.

Safe from what? Chromium? It's Open Source?

Do we really need a duplicated HTML renderer? It's not like Chromium is going to vanish.

There's the argument that most Chromium developers are employed by Google - but not if Mozilla employs them.

It's always possible for fork these things.

As with previous discussions about file sharing, although data is replicable, the people who own it will go through some hoops to prevent replication. Many felt that meant that the data ought to be free, and it was widely pointed out that they likely didn't feel that way about data they owned.

Some of the same artificial-scarcity tools are applied: when Facebook sells its data, the use of that data is limited by contract, which includes not selling it on or giving it away.

They're willing to do that because the US is a much larger market than any of those countries.
