It is the stated objective that is highly problematic, because of the lack of truth seeking and humility in how they pursue their objective.

I think another outcome for Facebook is more likely because they seem to be forgetting that they are not the ones creating Facebook, rather they are capitalizing on part of the activity in the relationships amongst their users as long as they can express something relevant to them on Facebook.

They are effectively attempting logical rationing with a lack of emotional meaning to their relationships, and overvaluing what one can learn from subjectivity without truth seeking.

As they said I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
What will this mean for the "Downloads" directory and PDF readers?
Significantly different. From what I understand, Librefox intends to follow upstream development with limited changes. Waterfox, on the other hand, is a fork of the pre-XUL, pre-Electrolysis Firefox circa 2017. As upstream development continues, it will become increasingly difficult to maintain these sorts of forks.
Machine guns on aircraft are like pistols to an infantryman. They're an emergency backup if you've used up your primary ammo or someone jumps you at close range. Modern aircraft cannons have an effective range of less than a mile; the Sidewinder, our standard short-range air-to-air missile, can hit at 22 miles.
Can't know for sure, of course. If someone wants to start keeping score, I'd be interested in the results.

If you want to convince me that it's more of a "establishment/fringe" divide than "left/right", that ProPublica piece goes a long way towards making that case.
I have a similar but different vantage point. I didn't go to University and only took a handful of personal interest college courses completely unrelated to my vocation. However, over the years I have taught courses (most of which were written by me) at a number of universities and colleges. These students were smart and driven to get where I was in my career, so I was continually reminded of the irony.

On the same side of that coin, I also taught technical subjects for a certification I never bothered to acquire. The students often asked why, and my tactful response is that it would have been a conflict of interest, and not at all that I couldn't see the value outside of checking off a box for the headhunters... Too many highly certified people with zero experience and near-zero skill, I'm afraid to say. Certs simply do not replace a good technical interview.

I also employed a PhD for 3 months. He was brilliant but so stubborn and opinionated I had a hard time justifying the expense of keeping him on board. He could barely function and kept trying to steer the company. Thankfully he eventually screwed up bad enough I had a nicer sounding reason to turf him.

This usage is literally ideal for pretty much any file I/O - it's a straight sequential read. Even spinning rust will achieve >400MB/s on this type of load. Take a look at the sequential burst speeds at QD1, first chart: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13761/the-samsung-970-evo-plu...

Nearly ever SSD listed achieves well over 1GB/s in an actual benchmark, not just on a spec sheet. And these are just boring old off the shelf consumer drives. Nothing crazy.

High taxes are the way rents are high. Because the landlords arent paying them: workers and consumers are. Thats why coffee is 5 dollars, a beer is 8, you have to lyft to work because the 2billion dollar transit station is closed, etc.

Its not about high taxes vs low taxes, its about the right tax structure. SF collects 2800U$S per month per household in taxes!
What does? The fact that W3Schools only lists a subset of the possible values?

> You can conceivably copy-paste a file you've been working on in one app into another, but what if you want to retrieve a file you last interacted with a year ago? How will you find that file?

With searchable tags, or whatever other thing you can come up with which is better than trying to remember a file path. But that doesn't mean you should get rid of file paths, because they're each good for different things and there is no reason you can't have both.

Here's another example. On a desktop you can open a static web page from a local .html file along with all the associated content. You'll have a directory containing an HTML file, maybe some associated .png, .gif, .webm or .js files and so on. A complicated one may have its own hierarchy because it's useful within the context of that document. Then that HTML file is going to have the names of the other files in it, including their relative paths if they're in subdirectories. The same thing can happen with InDesign documents or any other composite document like that.

Now how does the user find that HTML file a year later? Using some kind of tags or search function. But the way the HTML file then finds its associated pictures/scripts/videos is using something like filesystem paths. The alternative would be to combine them together into some kind of tarball, which is what some things do (like PDF), but then that's worse -- how do you edit a photo which is embedded in a PDF? Your average image editor will either not support it or will be inclined to do something horrible like rasterize the whole PDF first.

I stumbled across this, and it's nice. It's a very straightforward walkthrough of what happens when a small program calls open() and then read().

If you look up today's Linux source code, the code has of course evolved and is a bit more complex, but not a lot more. The nice thing about the 2001 code is that it's still dead-simple.

This doesn't accurately represent what Rails is today (or has been for quite a while). Most of its functionality comes from libraries that you can replace as you see fit. You can easily build your own "Rails" if you want by using libraries.

>Frameworks trade choice for supposed convenience.

It's not just convenience. By coalescing on one standard set of libraries it becomes much more likely that those individual libraries will be maintained.

>Libraries are replaceable, frameworks are usually not. In Go, if you use an interface to abstract the library calls you need (which is trivially easy to do) you can easily replace any library in your code. But ditching Rails is a ground up rewrite of your entire application and chances are you have read entire books on Rails so switching is going to cost you a lot.

What you describe in the first half is effectively recreating Rails. Expending that initial cost in order to avoid the possibility of expending it later doesn't make sense.

And you're not right about the cost of switching from Rails. You can use pretty much all the code you write without Rails. The effort will come in creating whatever it is you want to use to replace Rails.

I even try to go far enough to move decisions into System 1 if I can. People sometimes treat System 1 like their "monkey brain" to be derided or otherwise fought against, but that doesn't actually work in practice.

So often your System 1 wins and your System 2 is never aware, that relegating System 1 to "impulse" is just hiding the problem from yourself. Training System 1 at least gives you a fighting chance to have accurate-enough first impressions/instincts.

Of course there are more-successful and less-successful ways of training System 1, but that's true of anything.

Do you have an example of a specific situation in which it felt artificial?

Perhaps I'm missing something, because I'm not familiar with NVC. After reading the article, it seems that having empathy and curiosity are necessary for NVC to work, and if someone doesn't approach it that way, then they aren't really engaging in NVC.

In these comments, there seems to be many people who dislike it, and I'm wondering why. If someone in a powerful position, like my boss, sought me out to discuss something and expressed empathy and wanted to find out why I did something the way I did, I would feel impressed and appreciated.
It's not the end of the world. Just consider it a joke tax!
Such a pity your post is in the basement. Sometimes it is costly to be genuinely moderate.

I'll keep you company here.
It doesn't need to look for newlines. That is looking for ^ABCD is not harder than looking for ABCD. The set of matches for the former is a subset of the latter, so if you have some fast way of doing the latter you have a fast way of doing the former (with an additional check for the preceding newline).

Another way of looking at is just considering the ^ another character (plus one-off special handling for start of file).
That one didn't bother me as much as Oath's, which includes:

I mean "access your device" and "including your location"? But maybe they're just being more honest about it all than Slate is.
The need/audience for the opt-out option is for websites with legit behavior that is broken by the guesswork involved in scroll anchoring implementations. If a site wants to be "malicious" towards their users, there are myriad ways to do that already.
sixel work under tmux and screen. Check my repository https://github.com/csdvrx which is just cloned from existing branch by arakiken

A vectorial support would be nice, but adding svg and a custom format like for iterm may better: Tektronix 4010 graphics is not as widely supported as sixel, and it may be a better start from scratch.
Es was the best for awhile, but it's bloated and has ads now. I switched to Solid Explorer and it works great for me, nice UI and pretty quick. No complaints so far.

I haven't tried Librefox yet, but Internet privacy&security is a big interest of mine, and I'd like to suggest that another option to consider is Tor Browser.

Tor Browser is generally more privacy-focused than Mozilla, and the nicely integrated Tor support gives me a bit of privacy from my infamous ISP (VPN services tend to be sketchy, too).

Drawbacks to Tor Browser are that Tor itself is a bit creepy (e.g., presumably draws more attention to you from your own country's domestic surveillance), some news sites block US Tor exit nodes (whether they know it or not; Cloudflare seems to most often be the culprit), uBlock Origin is not part of the Tor Browser distribution (which means that people who add it lose some crowd anti-fingerprinting benefit), the NoScript part should really be replaced with uBlock Origin, Tor is much slower than direct, and the Tor or Tor Browser project could end/fizzle much sooner than Firefox does.

How I'm using Tor Browser currently is that I use it for sites that don't require logins or otherwise identify me. For sites that identify me anyway (e.g., banking, online ordering), I use Firefox. I don't use Firefox often. Keeping them separate also discourages me from logging into sites unnecessarily.

What I'd ideally like is for Mozilla to become more aggressive than Tor Browser about privacy -- not going to Tor, but doing things that would peeve much of the dotcom surveillance industry. This includes pushing privacy tweaks upstream to Web standards. Mozilla is perhaps the best positioned to play chicken with the dotcoms on this; most genuine privacy efforts would be simply broken by the sites, and lose their users. Mozilla has a lot of upper management, so presumably they could figure out how to peeve a lot of dotcoms, while still keeping the funding flowing.

(I should add that I use Tor Browser for only a casual, on-principle attempt at privacy from snooping companies. I don't believe that Tor or Tor Browser is sufficiently safe for many kinds of journalists and activists, for example.)
We have been talking a lot about the problem but not about the solution. It is time to come up with ideas. People of hacker news, how would you solve this problem if you were in charge of solving it?
I didn't think Windows Phone was ugly at all but that's unimportant; I feel pretty confident that aesthetics didn't contribute much to the platform's failure.

It did alright in Europe but overall, the Windows Phone campaign was inexcusably mismanaged to such a degree that it seemed deliberate. It felt abandoned almost from day one. It was unlikely you'd see one anywhere, in any store, because it'd been relegated to retail backwaters like the Microsoft Store.

It was frustrating to watch. Essentially the whole Zune thing on replay. Microsoft does not do a good job of presenting a united force to get a product in front of the eyes of consumers or generating any sort of hype.

And then they ran Nokia through a corporate shredder, just in case you were worried that Windows Phone might have a future.

The comment ended with "recycling should be a last resort (after reuse). Apple is deliberately obstructive of that."

My disagreement is that for multiple reasons (build quality, longevity, and small number of popular SKUs), which are because of Apple, there is a much larger secondhand market than most tech products or even non-tech products in general. This also means I can more easily find replacement parts by buying things like your broken iPad on ebay/craigslist.

I also think it sucks Apple gets dinged for their Takeback program. I do have a problem with things that make the consumer feel good without actually materially improving anything and with situations where companies pressure cities to build half-hearted recycling programs when companies should accept more of a burden.

I have a young kid and their toys burn through batteries. My wife has battery recycling at work. After giving up nagging her to take them I remembered Best Buy has a prominent display for electronics recycling. After keeping used batteries in my car for a few weeks I finally stopped by one and found it explicitly did not accept alkaline batteries. I can't imagine the hoops needed to acceptably dispose of rechargeable headphones or laptops.

Sure, these programs make some people feel a little better about consuming these things, but after decades of this I haven't seen any of this consumer energy going to anything more productive. Often, it's the city/waste collection taking the burden instead of the company that produced it.
thanks, I have got something to read for the weekend :)
On the page, it says:

Author: Intika (from Liege/Belgium)

So, I would assume that the French pronunciation is the intended one. Although I might be wrong.

Of course, the author has used the name "Librefox" as a single word, so there would presumably be liaison between the "e" and the "f", and so therefore you would presumably actually hear the "e" in the French pronunciation.
Where did you get this numbers from? I think my hiking boots are way beyond those numbers by now.
> If a potential client tells you how something should be implemented, they don’t want you to think too much and don’t value your expertise.

Not necessarily. My team has recently inherited a system developed by an outside contractor that has absolutely nothing to do with our stack, and taking over its operation ended up taking much more time than if we had developed the functionality from scratch.
Not really "easily" - the second test does 1.5 GB in 0.622s for a throughput of 2.41 GB/s.

If we assume something like 100 MB/s sustained for spinning disks, that's a lot of disks to get to 2.41 GB/s even ignoring overheads.
Pointless(And fuck-ugly IMO), but the engineering on display is very impressive.
From whom do you think they imported all that plastic?
I think GP was thinking of direct listing, like Spotify's, in which the company does not issue new shares and instead the stock is listed on a market and insiders put up their own sell orders to provide initial volume to the market. In this case, there is no lockup and founders, employees, and other insiders can get immediate liquidity.
The amount of labor necessary to satisfy basic needs has went down significantly over the last hundred years, but the amount of labor needed to afford satisfying basic needs has not. A successful strategy for full automation would see work hours gradually reduce until they hit zero.

The reason this has happened is that we use an economic system where laborers are paid market rate and the owners are paid the rest. So when we automate something new, the market rate for labor stays the same (at best), but reduced costs mean there's a bigger chunk leftover for the owners. So business owners capture all the returns from automation. As long as this holds, you should expect increased automation to benefit whoever already owns the machines, not society at large.

And there are lots of possible solutions for this, some quite simple, but they're all considered socialism or communism, so when you start talking about them people assume you want Soviet Russia and stop listening.
