I worked on a code signing system a number of years ago and it was surprising the degree to which I had to rearrange the logic and the tool chain in order to get high code coverage on all the failure modes.

IIRC one of the tools wouldn’t let me work with expired certs. I can’t recall now whether I fixed that or made carts that expire in ten seconds and just waited it out.

Anyway, a number of people weren’t even sure why I was going through the trouble. It’s easier to get something wrong than it should be (super obtuse APIs) and you don’t always get enough support or pushback to get everything absolutely right.
Well when you are google employee and you are testing code in firefox... you already have chrome and chromium installed.

I think what is a real tough dillema is being sad about nonfunctioning adblocker while working for the biggest internet ads company.

So are you working in chrome marketing department?
Mozilla is an organization of 1000 employees. Executives act like it’s 100,000 employees.
Seems like quite the accusation no? I mean I hate Mozilla as much as the next guy but any kind of proof, even if it's a Twitter thread from some Mozillian, would be nice.
Their government will be thankful for the help.
We resolved this issue at my last company with sufficiently large mailing groups for cert renewal reminders. Once you get to 12 people on a mailing list, with new employees being added all the time, it's hard to miss. Usually a manager on that list is pinging people about it. There is the chance of the tragedy of the commons occurring, but I never saw it.

Once you do this, the only checklist that matters are procedural checklists to add a new client or new cert to the renewal notification list. When you use a standard group email for all cert purchases, that one becomes tough to miss.

In my 7 years of being involved, we never missed a cert renewal with this process for ~300 client sites with multiple or wildcard certs.

>> The whole point of a pdf is to display _exactly_ the same across all devices.

> That’s an important feature, just like reflow. But does the former make PDF World’s most important file format?

It's not just that PDFs are displayed the same across devices, it's that it's displayed the same over time. I can open a PDF generated in 1995 and it will look identical today as it did then. The same can't be said about HTML or Word documents generated in 1995.

There's a significant difference between a code gen build step and what Manifold is doing with javac. Resource files are virtual source files, this represents a leap in terms of dev productivity.
Well, it was. I mean, it's Firefox!

But see https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/30388 for the same temporary fix as at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19823928
For anybody using Firefox Android and ublock origin who now sees ads, worth checking out the duckduckgo Android privacy browser. So far, it seems to be working beautifully so something good for me at least has come out of this mess!
yeah actually it's a good point about possible legal issues, but that's separate from what I meant in my comment. It's been shown empirically that a stranger is more likely to help if asked for a favor than if offered a small amount of money.
I can confirm this on Ubuntu 19.04 with Firefox 66.0.3. Changing xpinstall.signatures.required from the default 'True' to 'False' resulted in addons working again.
It's really far beyond what we need. We never hit over 5% cpu unless we break an index or do something dumb. But it's great that we can run just a few instances and in-memory cache anything coming back from slow services. We've got a lot of dog slow apps buried in the backend, and running minimal instances makes our hit rate on in-app caches nice enough that we can avoid complexity and slowness of shared cache.

Postgres is extremely fast when decently tuned, probably not much slower than Redis(both IO bound). For an ORM the same can be said of Hibernate. And Vert.X is just stupidly fast in general, just need to be careful not to block event loop or use Fibers with Quasar. There's a lot of tweaks for Jackson serialization speed and Hibernate + Postgres performance that are off by default as well.

Do we need all this speed? Absolutely not. But caching is one of the most evil things in comp sci and having so much excess capacity allowed us to simplify a lot of things For instance, we cache virtually nothing coming from the DB, only slow backends and other third party services. Hibernate also caches some reads for us, and since we don't have many instances the hit rate is fine on that as well.

We probably don't need to worry about performance ever for the future of our app. If the stack wasn't so fast we would need a lot of front end servers and a (slow) shared cache would be needed. Kinda a snowball effect of complexity when you try to retrofit something to be fast down the road
Given what I know from XDE and Cedar, I fail to see how a text based CLI, without the graphical debuggers, REPL and GUI workflows was more developer friendly.
This is the step required for me to allow Browser Console for input
Same here, I opened firefox 20 minutes ago and discovered this thread, but all my addons seems to work fine. (FF 66, from debian repo, I'm in EU)
All TLS failures fail closed. The idea that if a cert is compromised it will eventually expire sometime within the next five years is a completely laughable security control. Leaking information is a complete non-concern too. Have you heard of certificate transparency logs?

Short lived certs are quite obviously better from a security perspective, but the security difference between a certificate that expires in five years, and one that expires never is irrelevant.
Owning a car has costs, some if them are fixed, including them are entirely fair.

We could have a debate about including it in a per mile rate, rather than splitting it out, but ultimately they are costs car owners have to pay, and non car owners don't.

A sunk cost is still a cost. A cost you have to pay is still a cost.
So this just happened in my browser...when exactly will this be fixed?
Are you on Mac? It's also still working for me.
Note tools.jar is needed only for Java 8, and only for compile-time, unless you use Manifold's dynamic loading feature. The JREs for Java 9+ bundle what used to be called tools.jar.
No. The atmosphere gives the yellowish tinge by scattering blue. The sun looks white from outside it, emitting strongly all the colors we can see. The strongest emissions are near green.
It seems that to enact a change somebody would have to go public and talk with big journos to bring this dysfunctional stuff to light, much like the recent Bioware scandal.
Just switch for a day. You're making this out to be a much bigger issue than it has the capacity to be.
Or the bon-mot for The Obfuscated git Contest...
Only from my view, once it's automatically parsed, nobody is going to look at it, because either it'll automatically throw it out from the parsed data (in which case a blank resume is an obvious throw away), or it'll do some keyword parsing and determine you haven't copy/pasted enough. The second one is a problem with all of those systems though. After that point it'll pass it on to the hiring manager, at which point they'll look at it regardless of format. PDF then is simply not the best choice if it gives the highest chance of failure at the first step. A Word document is a much better choice.
>> Observing that wealth has not made people happier, some economists have proposed that

The fact that wealth and happiness are often mentioned together in articles and books is a very strong indicator that they are related.

The problem is that people who are greedy enough to actually acquire a good sum of money in this system are usually psychopaths.
The problem with psychopaths is that their only pleasure in life is knowing that they are better than other people.
Capitalism is built to make sure that psychopaths are never satisfied; there will always be someone who has more money.
If you're not a psychopath and you manage to make a lot of money, then you will almost certainly be very happy because you won't care at all if a lot of other people are wealthier than you.
AWS API is an inconsistent mess. If you don't believe me try writing a script to tag resources. Every resource type requires using different way to identify it, different way to pass the tags etc. You're pretty much required to write different code to handle each resource type.

South Texas is a French P4 Framatime design with 1400 MW vessels, not used anywhere else in the US (rated experimental) just Korea, with the highest incident rate in the US and the biggest vessels.

Palo Verde is also overlarge and so dangerous with any external cooling possibilities (it's in the dessert), that US fighters regularly have to protect it from unknown planes flying nearby. Anti-Terror measures.

Both were labeled experimental and are extremely dangerous. South Texas just recently was very close to a meltdown during the Houston hurricane. The river nearby rose to the levels almost spilling over into their huge coolant pools. It was something like 40cm. They didn't utter a single word.
Linux (Debian Buster, but Firefox is not from the repositories). Edited in some more info.
We probably have different ideas of "paying what you can". How do you judge whether someone is only paying what they can, or they are taking advantage? Not a rhetorical question.

One way is like we do today -- highly-paid positions often come with high-quality insurance, which is (ime) fairly expensive and low-paid positions have less expensive insurance that is a bit worse (all this on average, I'm sure there are outliers).

We are in different pools today but I don't see how that's meaningfully different than everyone being in one pool if the individual pools are large enough and you can't discriminate the population of the pools.
"Mine does: in 5000km increments. (Australia)"

Insurance has interesting edge cases, like 3rd party can be more expensive than comprehensive, as risky drivers go for the former.

I've had insurance before, where putting in a higher mileage lowers the premium. I assume there's a lower bound where you start getting into Sunday driver territory where risks start increasing?
Same is true for ESR on Windows.

How is the user experience with that if you don't use Intellij? It seems to require explicit support by the IDE, which is why it doesn't seem to work with eclipse.
Outside of about:addons I get this in Firefox 66.0.3 in Linux:

Also, this doesn't seem to help with currently disabled add-ons, unless I'm missing something. Trying to reinstall Adblock Plus, for example, still results in

This is a certificate that expired, not some insufficiently-tested change someone deployed. Mozilla devs had their extensions disabled at the same time as everyone else.
Is it nihilistic to say "you can't have objective media"? I don't think so. "Objective" is an illusion. It doesn't exist. A computer log maybe is objective. But the moment an admin looks at it and decides for which messages he restarts a service and for which messages he writes emails, it becomes subjective reporting. The intentions at this point are an important part of the messaging that he produces.

Same for news. There's always an intention. The reporter has an intention, the newspaper/tv-channel/youtuber/instagrammer has an intention, the reader has an intention.

The main idea I want to bring across is that one needs to have another method of consuming. It's always important to read the text and guess the intentions involved.

And actually it's optimistic, because even if newspapers how they exist today die, there will still be news, reporters will still have work, etc. No need of saving anything but the leadership position of the current dominating powers behind the media.
I've been using Firefox since 2002, always loyal because it works as I expect a browser to work. For users like me who see the benefits of Firefox being the only browser worth losing the benefits of native browsers (Safari/Edge), the only real place we'd move to due to sufficient issues is to those native browsers.

The new Chromium-based Edge[0] for someone like me, who would never use Chrome, is the only cross-platform alternative that could pull me away from Firefox. Native power usage advantages on Windows, with portability to other platforms and Chromium's speed advantages makes it a very attractive choice. I hate to see this happen to Firefox, but they don't have a lot of room for error. I've been using "ChrEdge" at work, and it's already a great browser as it is.

NoScript and uBlock Origin have stopped working. This opens up a LOT of attack surface for malicious hackers.

Most often in imdustry, you have to begin any complex project without a deep understanding of your domain values, because that understanding only comes iteratively. In my experience, the biggest drawback of static typing is that it forces you to design your types when you still don't have enough knowledge, and changing it later is painful.
Out of curiosity what cloud service do you prefer?
Ah, that's true. The selection of jurors for a particular trial was only on the day itself. The process sounds similar. We had to turn up at court for two weeks, and would get assigned a trial whenever you were free from the previous one, if it was a short one. The unlucky few who land a major trial have to sit it out to the end of course.

Maybe the sanctions that successfully keep jurors from telling the press about trials 99% of the time could work for this too. Maybe it would have to be cleverer somehow.
How did executive/management at Mozilla become like this?

Yes, I agree... just wished they made it clearer how they achieve that!
It obviously depends on how many files we are talking about but copying files to a new bucket in the same region will not cost that much. You could definitely make the case to AWS that you don't want to pay since they are removing a feature and you might get a concession.

Also you will likely want to use some sort of parallel operation. I used this eons ago: https://github.com/mishudark/s3-parallel-put
Take on the responsibility for the gap yourself. If you get assigned something from up the chain that gets in the way of that new found responsibility report up the chain that they need to assign it to someone else first.
Apart from your idea of signing up to a specific hospital this is how systems like the NHS work. They are funded from a specific tax in the UK and general taxation in some other countries. They either don't bill anyone for the care they provide and have no bureaucratic machinery for doing so, like the UK NHS or a here in Norway we pay a sort of co-pay for each doctor or hospital visit but it is capped at quite low levels, a couple of hundred dollars a year. And it is not related to the fine details of the treatment you have received so again there is very little bureaucracy.
Personal opinion: the biggest problem of Europe is the marketing, or rather the lack of it and its ineffectiveness.

USA completely owns this.

Just look at what the Silicon Valley media-integrated marketing machine can do. A complete fraud with unsubstantiated promises like Theranos raised 700M with a 10B valuation. Even though they had nothing, their visions became practically an established fact in world wide media, driven by articles like the one in Wired in 2014 ("This Woman Invented a Way to Run 30 Lab Tests on Only One Drop of Blood").

Europe needs to learn to "overpromise and underdeliver" as well. And they need an integrated way to push the message of shiny new stuff to blue-eyed technology media to amplify it into people's consciousness.

I don't mean to create frauds like Theranos. I mean to say (for example) you will drone deliver on-demand customized popsicles made on the orbit of Mars five years from now, and then end up mailing customized ice cream made in Denmark instead.

People might find the greatest product in the world organically, eventually, by getting fed up with the alternatives, but in the meanwhile those banging the drum the most may just end up cornering the market.

I don't think the biggest problem is about salaries or luring in venture capital or the nature of legislation or density of microbreweries within a square kilometer or something like that. I think it is simply about marketing. (And this is not to say that other things play no role whatsoever)
I also have to do this to make it work on Win10 firefox console (F12)
Same here. Both on Windows 10 and Kubuntu my Firefox 66.0.3 instances seem to have working add-ons (uBlock Origin) as of now. Both systems have been up for weeks.

Let's see what the day will bring...

NoScript stopped working for Tor Browser users. I'd rather see the browser crash on startup than have that happen to me.

Actually there are quite some app on hacker news now I aware of this. Just use safari and safe host page. Can export to pdf easier on top of login etc.
China is not profiting much from the world wide web like Google or Facebook. It mainly profits from its domestic intranet.

Your suggestion is also ironic; how could further disconnecting China help to prevent China from blocking other countries?
It's a great argument against centrally controlled walled gardens. Basically breaking or compromising a single certificate has a widespread impact. Even Tor browser is impacted. For most of us this is a temporary inconvenience but there are people whose personal security depends on some of the extensions that just stopped working.

On a positive note, it's been a while since I browsed without a lot of extensions. Ads are still annoying and I noticed some extensions apparently had more of a performance impact than you'd hope.
The Container extension is no longer working. I'm logged out of mostly everything. There are few sites I don't want to open without container.
Which is why i referenced the quote afterwards to illustrate that the pursuit of happiness is not necessarily the answer and of course happiness in itself is very hard to quantify but attempting to use it as measurement would create a better situation for humanity.

If we assume that Krishnamurti is correct and happiness is a byproduct the question naturally arises, a byproduct of what?
Standard answer from a person that didn't understand the issue - "who is this bunch of idiots? Fire them all". Sounds like a C*O. :)

Mozilla continues the war against its users.
I'm reasonably comfortable with XR's aims, which are, off the top of my head: Tell the truth about the scale of the problem and time available in all parts of the state, and zero carbon by 2025.

That would require a rethink of almost everything to be sustainable, and a short enough timescale that governments can't simply kick it into the long grass of "not during our term".
I switched to Brave today and I must say that I am impressed:

- Adblocker and Tracker protection without installing extensions.

- Nice background pictures.

- Caching Cdnjs requests -- for some reason Firefox was always hitting the CDN.

To be honest, despite the good work Mozilla does, I don't want to switch back.
It is probably safer to use an unbranded build with the same version as the currently installed Firefox (take note that it will not update). Page with links to the latest release builds: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-ons/Extension_Signing

Yes, what Boeing is saying is that MCAS, being designed to force the new plane follow the flight envelope of the old plane

1/ wasn't an anti-stall system

2/ and therefore wasn't a "security" feature (and therefore, it was completely ok to sell upgrades to that system as expensive options)

During a recent interview, Boeing CEO repeatedly said that no specific training was necessary on MCAS because MCAS is part of the whole plane, and when you're flying the MAX you're using MCAS.

This is indeed the problem: they couldn't even consider MCAS failing -- even as a thought experiment, because if MCAS fails, the MAX isn't a 737 anymore!

It looks like they locked themselves up into an alternative reality that they couldn't escape, until planes started crashing into the ground.

A tool not working well or being "experimental" does not dismiss the premise that frequently run automated tools are a better than infrequently run manual tasks when those manual tasks can take down your infrastructure if done improperly, missed or forgotten.

All it being new means is that depending on your risk ratio you need to decide whether updates to the software need testing or whether you need to invest in your own solution - or, how about just wait until it matures and keep the old process until then.

Waiting doesn't invalidate the premise either. It just means you lack the resources to implement it safely and that's ok.
