There's two things to this. One is an option usually called "smooth scrolling" which was historically disabled in Firefox or Chrome (and it was really annoying). It was an on/off switch that either animated the movement between two points in page or it just jumped. I believe all browsers have this enabled now.

The second issue, what you are probably referring to is how the page is animated between those two points. Firefox now uses something old Opera used to have, a really gradual scroll. All chromium-based browser I just tried have this rather jumpy scroll. It's different, but it is not nearly as bad as it used to be in FF.

In short, I don't know, but "smooth scrolling" is something you might want to search for.

Under linux with apt/dnf. These package managers update Firefox while it is running.

On MacOS or Windows (maybe even Linux with the Mozilla updater, never tried it), the updater does the update on the next restart.

The Tech Holder: the key to empowering engineers about the build
You must come from a well off background to afford the luxury of morality when choosing jobs.

While you might be happy Europe has no six figure SW jobs, I, not being able afford a decent house in a decent area to raise a family on your average Austrian SW dev salary, am not, and would gladly take a FAANG job any day regardless of how morally questionable it may seem from your McMansion.

My family's well being comes first.
Thank you. This is exactly what I wanted to hear. I’m more interested in studying math than maximizing my income, but post-graduation opportunities is a concern, since I’m not well off. Your reply gives me the encouragement I was looking for to pursue my passion. Thank you.

Apologies if I wasn't clear enough.

> So its not some optional system, that the pilots would switch off when manually controlling the plane, its there for the plane to fly at all.

And that fact makes it utterly damning that there is absolutely no redundancy. A single sensor?

It's a critical component. No redundancy on a system that can control flight.
> “How to Read a Book”

I’d seen that book a while ago but not picked it up. I’m now going to. Thanks!

> formulating hypotheses and questions

I think this reduces to “how do you keep those hypotheses organized?” which sounds kinda like the problem of “How do I write an outline?”

> Compare and contrast a similar project

This makes sense to me for web apps. Less so for a package manager.

I suppose that means the questions splits off into lots of domain-specific quesions like, “what should I pay attention to when reading a RESTful service?” “What should I pay attention to when reading a package manager?” Etc.

————

For a RESTful service, I would recommend first getting and idea of the core models from the API docs and then from reading structure.sql or models.py or whatever holds the relationships among tables. Draw an entity-relationship diagram on a big piece of paper of the important models.

Then, try and trace the path of a web request from the outside in through middlewares to the controller then to rendering and back out again.
> streamlining for whiteboard interviews

Can you clarify what this means?
This is a very clear articulation of the common problems here.

Intellectual property can only make money by preventing its use, otherwise it just spreads everywhere to everyone for free. Given this property of the Internet, and the decision of open source/Free Software to embrace rather than fight this property, what side-channels can be constructed to return some value to the developers?

> Anything paired with a physical device. People will judge the value based on the hardware and software experience together.

Not just embedded, but also SaaS. The fact that the physical device is off in a datacenter somewhere isn't so relevant. (Another implication of this is that open hardware will never behave quite like open software!)
Re: the Google results. Google uses another approach to backwards compatibility that devs may want to consider -

They branched the renderer codebase entirely, and then switch into the old renderer (which uses an API feed of search results that better be stable or else Google has bigger problems) for certain UAs. IE, non-evergreen browsers, and no-JS visitors get a renderer frozen in time in 2011; that's why it looks different from the current page. IE <6, pre-Mozilla Netscape, Lynx, WWW, etc. get a renderer frozen in time in 2007. Yes, you can still get the 10-blue-links experience if you set your user agent to Netscape 3 or something similar.

This has several advantages. Modern-day feature developers and QA testers don't need to think about ancient browser support - their code won't even be run by those browsers, and they aren't touching the code that will be run. Polyfills can be kinda hard to implement on really old browsers, they still run the risk of bugs, and they don't help at all if JS is unavailable. The usual downside of branching & copying code is the maintenance headache of keeping both versions in sync; this doesn't apply if one version is frozen in time forever and never maintained. It's relatively little work to generate this support (usually just need to branch the files, add in a if-statement, and ensure that backend APIs remain stable), and virtually no ongoing maintenance. Old browser users generally don't expect the latest & greatest features; if they did, they'd be on newer browsers. And old browser users don't pay the performance cost for new features, which can matter a lot when they're also on old computers and old connections.
I've removed the Siri button and put launchpad there instead. Somewhat less annoying.

It's occurred to me that I should find out how to make a placebo button and put there, but I haven't prioritized it.
Is It Ever Too Late to Pursue a Dream?
You definitely can, I'm just arguing that the complexity involved to implement the feature is not worth the real world performance gain. Furthermore, by adding that complexity you make it that much harder to make sure the program is free of undefined behavior.
Don't get me wrong, a realtime discussion is extremely important in many cases. When brainstorming or talking through bugs or building something collaboratively, it doesn't get any better than an in-person or video meeting.

But when it comes to more complicated details, one-off questions, important decisions, or bringing the "results" of an investigation to a group, text is just better a lot of the time.

I can't count the number of times that a decision was made verbally in a meeting only to find that half the meeting misunderstood the decision or can't remember details about it the next day. Or going to discuss a complex bug/problem and having to spend a significant amount of time talking about the "setup" to the problem rather than the problem itself.

It's those cases where spending 5 minutes writing the question up and letting people read and understand it before jumping into a meeting, or even something as simple as following up a meeting with a written summary of the important points made can be very powerful.

Because the penalties for unauthorized possession in the US range from (up to) 6 months to 8 years with fines up to $25,000 varying by state and the only way to acquire it in an authorized manor restricts it's prescribed usage to a narrow scope of conditions, the treatment of depression not included.
It used to crash under Linux, when you updated it while it was running, and then opened new window or a tab. Now it shows a message that you need to restart.
>It's the other way around. The faculty are paid to do research from grants they bring in, they are evaluated based on their research, and the university requires them to teach on the side.

Not true for most departments outside of engineering and some of the sciences, and not true for most math departments. Most faculty members in other departments get little to no grant funding. Math departments always have a small number of faculty members chasing grants, but the rest of them do not. Yet they still are evaluated based on research.

In my experience, the level of back stabbing in math departments is a lot lower precisely because of the lack of pressure to acquire grant money.
The funny thing is the question is actively harmful to real world problem solving. If I had to write a feature where passwords could not repeat any character the spec would spend a lot more than 1 word explaining that (and why there is that weird restriction in the first place). Assuming they wanted such a system based upon a single word would be a bizarre conclusion to jump to.

No need for a degree for an entry visa. Probably for any country. As for working permit... Lots of people won't look for one during their lifetime.

I'm frankly a bit worried about that statement; I believe it means that they're producing UB. Even with unsafe, Rust code is expected to uphold the safety rules.

currently, it is illegal to pay anyone a commission for selling your house except a licensed real estate agent. If you got rid of that restriction, imagine the opportunities. you could let your friends sell your house by sharing a link on social media and they could get the commission.

Also in England, real estate commission fees are about 1% vs. 6% in US. As the article states, in the US a lot of agents won't show FSBO (for sale by owner). I have personal experience with this where they trash talk or flat out refuse to show you fsbo.
Ask HN: What is your information diet?
An information diet is becoming more and more important to maintain a healthy mind and a stable relationship with society.

Consuming too much junk news can turn us into dopamine addicts and, generally speaking, focusing on journals or classics can render us out of touch with the contemporary world.

My question to you is, have you put any thought into the ways you consume information? If so, what have you come up with?

My post was ambiguous. I think education is “for” gainful employment in that it’s the overriding purpose. Basic socialization is obviously another, and there is some element of instilling civic values. I strongly disagree, however, that compulsory schooling should be a vehicle for teaching kids a variety of things that school boards think is important for “well rounded” people. It becomes too much of a vehicle for shaping kids in the mold of the teachers and academics on the school board.

Also, ever since we started making schools actively hostile to religion, I question how appropriate it is as a vehicle for teaching civic values.
Can confirm. 2012 Imac with 1TB rust disk was truly feeling its age. Swapped to small SSD I had laying around just to see what would happen and just SuperDuper-ed the old OS. Could not believe the difference. You just have to see it happen to get it. Best upgrade ever.

I don't have a good failure story. I'm a semi-regular reader of https://www.failory.com/interview-failure though so I think there might be a market. At least if you can identify a couple of patterns (e.g. filters in the left pane of https://www.failory.com/cemetery). In the interviews I often see entrepreneurs pointing to (marketing?) their new projects which might get outdated fast.

I did enjoy Founders At Work (https://www.amazon.com/Founders-Work-Stories-Startups-Early/...) 5 years after it got published. Not sure if a list of company names on the cover would work for failures.

I don't quite understand how that can be possible.

At the end of the day, you're still aiming to load, in FF 66, just as many tabs as in FF pre-66. FF's total memory usage should be about the same whether you're using 4 processes or 8. Sure, if each FF process now takes care of fewer tabs, then when OOM does happen, the FF processes have a lower OOM score and are less likely to get killed. But something will get killed regardless, just maybe not FF. That's like trying to avoid punishment after a prison brawl by keeping your head low: someone will get punished regardless, just maybe not you.

First of all this is not your common kind of whale, Is a beaked whale. As a sort of self-declared (minor) expert in the diet of Ziphius cavirostris I can tell you than this whale is not attracted by fishing nets normally IMHO. This species feeds at very deep waters and do not eat fishes normally. This plastic is sunken plastic.

I had personally get some kg of plastic from stomachs of the same species named in the article. I remember a sac (from manure I think), and a lot of the same plastic bags that you can find in the supermarket. I remember also a small commotion in the faculty by, uh, a lot of diluted blood that ended in the wrong pipeline slowly leaking just in front of the main entrance but this is a different history... don't make me talk about it :-)

> I'd love to see Apple make a system that supported upgradeable memory, SSDs, High capacity hard drives, graphics, and separate larger monitors

Apple does a pretty good job supporting the needs of most people, in a slim clean form factor, with the iMac. It supports memory upgrades, and external monitors. There is a small group that needs nearly every component to be upgradeable or swappable, and they offer the Mac Pro for that use case. I don't see a scenario where the cost/benefit of adding removable graphics cards to an iMac would make sense. I would like to see the hard drive accessible like the memory is.

Personally I really dislike multiple choice question format, as they often end in "gotcha" type of questions or overthinking of the question. In the exams of my university (for computer science) they are rare (most exams have at most 1/10 as multiple choice).

Does anyone have an assessment of reliability/validity/fairness of multiple choice comparing to other test types? (afair objectivity is very good in multiple choice tests)
I see. That starts to make sense if you explain it that way. Users who don't think about the multiprocessing model will just see fewer dead tabs when a FF process crashes, and that could feel like "fewer crashes".
