Expected Lansing would be Magic Johnson but instead its Larry Page. Magic comes back often and is active in local charities, even leading efforts to raise money for college scholarships.

On the other hand Larry Page has to my knowledge never returned or given a dime to local charities. So perhaps that makes people ever more curious about him.

As I said elsewhere,

I'm in a weird position where this particular Firefox on this particular machine didn't have a backup.

I'm waiting on a new drive to come in the mail as we speak.

So chew me out. Sue me. I didn't have a backup for this one Firefox instance out of half a dozen.

But please don't normalize the expectation that my browser deleting everything with an automatic update is somehow a user error.

There are experiments incorporating it into the OS and build system, but they've barely begun. Some teams use it for internal tooling. To make Rust work in Windows there would need to be a lot of work put into incorporating it into the build system, as well as writing libraries for RPC, COM, and other Windows specific technology.
Firefox works just open about:config and turn off javascript. Sadly you will quickly find most of the modern internet breaks under these circumstances.

That can't be right, or at leats not the whole story. For example, "Joaquin Pheonix" is the most searched person from Gainesville. But there's no mention of Gainesville, or even the state of Florida, on his Wikipedia page. But it does appear to be true that he was a "resident" (more or less) during his teenage years [0].

EDIT: However, he is on Wikipedia's "List of People from Gainesville, FL" [1], so I bet those lists were the primary source of information.

I think what you are stating is that the Clojure ecosystem is stagnating.
I'm moving more and more of our company's stack over to the Clojure ecosystem because I see a lot of innovation and excitement in it. More importantly, it takes fewer people to be more productive in it.

I know some high-profile people have left the language for various reasons, but there are lots of people I know personally who are joining it. We should expect some churn.

I won't try to convince you that it isn't stagnating, but I want to put out an alternate perspective from someone who is investing a lot in the ecosystem.
All-American Despair
Consumer Reports says (May 2019)

"In practice, we found that the new Navigate on Autopilot lane-changing feature lagged far behind a human driver’s skills. The feature cut off cars without leaving enough space, and even passed other cars in ways that violate state laws [...] As a result, the driver often had to prevent the system from making poor decisions."

I like how the implicit premise is that virtue signaling is a "bad thing".
The nature of a stable computing environment is not to randomly delete user data.
No, there wasn't. No malware was being spread en masse this way. It was an entirely fictitious threat, as it would have required convincing the user to enter a confusing part of the app (about:config) and correctly change a setting.

I can accept that there might have been a malware problem when signatures weren't the default requirement, but that's not the change I'm talking about, where they ignore a user's explicit preference that they're okay with unsigned add-ons.

Remember, Chrome allows you to turn off this setting by just flipping a switch into dev mode. Where's the torrent of compromised Chrome browsers from this vector?

>I don't think asking power-users to use Nightly/"unbranded" versions of Firefox to load unsigned extensions is something you should count against them.

It is when that version doesn't get the same updates and has to be maintained separately.
> Admittedly, that should _really_ be exposed in the UI somehow

Go to about:profiles, click the "Launch profile in new browser" button under the profile you want.

Yes, it's not obvious, and the UI has a lot to be desired if you want to explain the feature to some non-techie, but you no longer need to close the other Firefox instances in order to launch a different profile. I think this was added a couple releases ago.
> Because the Internet has enabled clusters like Silicon Valley or Hollywood to be even more prominent.

And bigger cities in general. But I also think people tend to underestimate changes. Small and medium sized cities have been hit hard by the recession and rising housing markets. There are increasingly no good deals to be had anymore. Unless you go to Chiang Mai or something.
At least when Firefox has a misstep, it's scope is a lot smaller.

Taking a swipe at adblocking, obscuring where you're "logged into the browser" are IMHO - much bigger deals.
He was asking for the reverse -- what does Chrome offer extra?
The problem is that Twitter's definition of "nazis" basically is "anyone we don't like, which isn't exactly useful for the overall benefit of humanity. Sort of like how FB recently said that they are going to deplatform white supremacists. Why not all supremacists, while you're at it, or don't pretend that you are doing something for any kind of greater good...
So it seems that the Cryptographic Right Answers is lacking a section on "stateless tokens carrying a small payload". What should one do in this case?
What is the actual performance story these days? Last time I tried Firefox (soon after they were making a fuss about Quantum) I was fairly disappointed. I'm including performance of the Android browser here (because they work in concert as far as I'm concerned).

Also, what pain am I going to hit with DRM and online video? I use the usual suspects - Amazon, Netflix, Youtube.
Is it patented ?
Yes I have instantly improved code by removing micro level solpisistic tests that were tightly coupled to the implementation. These tests made it much slower to improve the quality of the code and had zero benifits because they only tested that the code did what it did and not what it is supposed to do.
This comment got me thinking: if that were to happen unexpectedly, how would you

1) determine when and where you were, and

> Uber is the breakthrough case of a company that skipped the difficult process of finding legitimate efficiency advantages, and used tens of billions in predator investor subsidies to fuel its rapid growth.

This is just so blatantly false that it's hard to take the rest of the article seriously. Let's take just a cursory glance at Uber and Lyft's efficiency advantages:

* Uber and Lyft have massive efficiently advantages over traditional taxi cabs and ride services. Taxis drive around the city burning fuel while they look for someone to wave them down. This results in considerable wasted time and gas between rides. Uber any Lyft drivers connect to the internet to get hailed by drivers, thus getting rides at a much higher rate and without burning gas driving around waiting to get hailed.

* Uber and Lyft handle payment, thus avoiding the issue of cabs with credit card machines that don't work - and more often than not, mysteriously start working again when the passenger explains that cabs (at least in my city) are required to have operating credit card machines and if the machine is inoperable the ride is free.

* The fact that ride share companies don't hail drivers on the street means that they are not required to be a part of the artificially constrained supply of taxi medallions. This allows for much lower barriers to entry for drivers, and eliminates the need to spend six figures on medallion.

* GPS tracking of riders and drivers is a safety benefit.

Saying that Uber and Lyft did not develop efficiency advantages is just willfully ignorant. There's valid complaints to be raised about these companies, but saying that they have not developed any efficiently advantage is just plain wrong.

> I know this is OT but a language without a huge OR trending ecosystem is worthless.

Anecdotally speaking, I'm not sure I agree that the Clojure ecosystem is stagnating (it's relatively small and likely always will be) but a big draw of ClojureScript is the way it piggy backs on the Node/NPM community.

I recently spun up a React/Reagent UI paired with a Clojurescript node.js server. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to do ClojureScript <--> JS interop in Shadow-Cljs projects.
might as well be.

everything else is based on Chrome/Chromium.

Nothing else, other than Firefox, lets me customize in the way Firefox does either. As a security conscious person, this matters.
They bought Demandware (eCommerce platform) a while ago so it is possible that they are talking about more than their CRM.

UWP APIs nor apps are dead nor buried - very poor journalism.
Yust a heads up: you can open different profiles simultaneously using the about:profiles page, see my other reply.
Agreed. My mainstay for some time has been Pi-hole coupled with browser running uBO, Privacy badger, Decentraleyes, Webmail Adblock, Tracking Token Stripper, Neat URL, Referer Control, and No Coin. I see nothing but pure content. I also like how uBO blocks WebRTC from leaking local IP addresses and blocks CSP reports.

Editing to say I've been reading on the fallout of the Chrome adblocking issue and many seem to think that DNS blocking is the way forward, but how long until it isn't? I've mentioned this before, but there has to be some way to do this without using browser-based solutions. I use them as well as a Pi-hole, but I dislike the browser-based solutions as a whole. What I'd like to see is a proxy, preferably web-based (cloud) that I can point my router and mobile devices to take advantage wherever I happen to be. Imagine a proxy that acts like /dev/null. It fools the sites into believing they are sending down ad data, but the proxy strips out that garbage. I know this does nothing for the bandwidth used, but I'm just thinking as I type. I understand HOW to do this, but my coding skills are not at that level. And I doubt this should be written in Python, although it likely could be. 20 years ago, I would be doing it in Perl, although those skills have fallen by the wayside since I have no real use case for Perl these days.
The average debt is substantial if you consider over 30k substantial.

Declaring BS on what, TruePic as a business? The general problem is very hard, but the specific problem of taking photos with smartphones is tractable. Their approach makes sense, and in some cases can be made much easier with access to platform (e.g. android, ios) device verification. This is just the beginning of the broad adoption of identity verification services.
Agreed, the thing is it seems that previous singular clocks were somehow cared for in a way to keep it in the middle. It's no perfect information but systemically, it made everything run somehow at a single pace.

I am curious to know more about this space because it's all very new to me. What failed solutions were tried in the past? Which issues does Truepic fail to address? And is it even possible to address these failures?
For some reason v2.10 incorrectly shows e^1pi instead of e^ipi in the Euler equation. v2.6 is correct.
The increasing adoption of object stores and other not-quite-filesystems, even when a real filesystem would be the more appropriate choice, is definitely part of this. For good or ill, people would rather work on or with one of the simplified alternatives. I'm in that camp myself now, working on a system with lame HDFS-like semantics after two decades of proving the "POSIX can't scale" folks wrong. It's just not a battle worth fighting any more, at either the technical or business level.

How to Modernize Your MSSP Security Monitoring Program
One of the records you can write into DNS, where it can be protected by DNSSEC, is CAA. The CAA record tells a Certificate Authority what policies you have about certificates. The high level (if CAA is present) is just which CAs are allowed to issue for this part of the DNS hierarchy at all.

As an example, you can forbid Let's Encrypt outright, if you so choose. CAs can also define more nuanced policies, so when they define one you could instead require Let's Encrypt but only with DNS (and thus DNSSEC verification). Because the Ten Blessed Methods have associated OIDs the CAs could (but so far as I know haven't plans to) have a way to say I'm OK with anybody issuing so long as they used a method with DNSSEC checks.

Now, as Thomas Ptacek points out previously, banks like many other security critical organisations have lousy security and so none of this will get done, but that's because they're bad at what they do, as is illustrated by them causing a global financial crisis. They're bad at real world security too, plus ca change.
>The pi-hole asks you to choose security over convenience,

This is an easy choice for myself.

it's not an easy choice for one person to make for a family of others.
I'm sure there will be a sort of "Gab Relay" similar to how the PirateBay avoids domain takedowns by using multiple domains/proxies.

Chrome did it to me too. I had many links saved in onetab that are now lost. No software is completely stable on all computers in all situations.

Did you double-check your profile folder? Firefox might have created a new profile for you while leaving the old profile there. If you're on Linux or Mac, try typing this in a terminal:

firefox -ProfileManager -no-remote &

Then, if there is more than one profile listed there, try each one to see if it's the old profile.

(I'm not sure how to find the profile folder on Windows.)
Maybe that's true for clocks, but it's certainly never been true for the press.

I want to, but the simple behavior issues of the LastPass extension force me to use Chrome just for it.

I don’t know if its LastPass or a limitation of Firefox that’s causing it, but it’s enough of a headache for how often I use LastPass that it prevents me from switching browsers.

Is there an alternative to LastPass that has a better user experience on Firefox? If so I’ll try it.

EDIT: I'll test out Bitwarden.
I've been using Brave on Android for similar reasons... Firefox at least to me, felt too slow with ad blocking enabled.

I'm hoping that Brave, Edge and Opera maintain the API compatibility in their downstream forks.
Actually... "assault" has a completely different meaning than aesthetics.

There are "battle rifles" and included under this umbrella is the M1 Garand, which is a larger caliber. The US Military realized that they needed a weapon that only shot out to 100-400(ish) meters rather than 700-900 meters, which was needed for WW1 & WW2. The "assault rifle" came about and actually refers to the ammunition rather than the weapon. The "assault" caliber is meant to take a person out of the fight rather than kill them.

This is not true. There are fake news that have existed for thousands of years (religion), and the mass communication seems to have a negative impact even on those strongholds of fiction.
What you describe is the case to greater or lesser degrees with a lot of large cities. Head an hour out of the city and you have the option of various flavors of semi-rural/suburbs/smaller cities with varying degrees of affordability depending upon the town. The geographical constraints of the Bay Area (together with the magnet of tech) means that you really can't commute out of high housing prices in an hour. That's not the case with most other cities.

I live about an hour west of Boston which is certainly close enough to go in for a tech event or theatre/dinner for the evening. But my house is a lot cheaper than it would be in the city or a more expensive near-in suburb and you simply wouldn't be able to get the land I have near-in.

I get a lot of the advantages of a semi-rural lifestyle while still living close to decent supermarkets and having access to pretty much anything I would want within an hour.
