Anaconda Is Bloated – Set Up a Lean Data Science Environment with Miniconda
I agree the name is a bit confusing, I also immediately thought of template literals, wondering what kind of vulnerability it could have.
Amazing stuff! Thanks for sharing.
This is a user stating what it would take to make them a paying customer.

This is not about FOSS. Full stop. The title is literally:

"Mozilla will reportedly launch a paid version of Firefox this fall"

Mozilla is free to ignore that feedback and sell whatever product they want. The parent user is free to not buy it.

> FOSS users like parent believe they have a birth right to the software they’re using, including making decisions for the direction product is taking.

This is not the conversation we're having. Shut up about it.
This is a sad story, but has very little to do with HN or technology. I am sure everyone at ARS is appalled.
Maybe own your content? If you can own your content it doesn't matter what's the platform. If the platform forces you to release control over your content, then it's a big red flag.
It would be a nice if they would put their tower(s) locations and their range circle on the site. That would at least give a running start if they can get a signal to the destination.

I'd rather not need to sign up to find this information out.
True for me. I often get really sleepy around 9-10 PM. When I force myself to go to bed right then, when my eyelids are heavy, I usually sleep through the night (with perhaps a 15-minute semi-awake period in the middle) and wake around dawn feeling well-rested. But if I shrug off my drowsiness, I usually get a second wind around 11 that will keep me going until at least 1 AM, and then the next day I don't feel rested at all.

I find it weird that the man is such a visionary in concept, but such a Luddite in actual day-to-day. Elsewhere, I've seen him explain that he still "views" most webpages by cURL'ing them and printing them to paper.
And the answer is: syndicate. You see people doing this time and again. Leveraging a platform for audience, then driving traffic to their own site/someplace they own. "Their own platform." Not everyone will follow, but the people who truly value you will.

Never claimed that, but efficient software doesn't imply 70s terminal UIs.
dang, etc: the “is an education” part of the title is inappropriate, and [pdf] should be added.
Appium with Selenium (or XCUITest for iOS) will shorten your life expectancy and grow you some grey hairs, but there is no other better alternative for testing at user level. It is highly unreliable and each new phone OS version will tend to break your automation

As for finding devices there are a few cloud providers like xamarin or perfecto (never really worked with them in production) that gives you remote access to a lot of real devices and software versions

Having said that try to divert more testing towards lower levels- unit tests, testing on simulators, integration tests with a full phone and browser etc.

A good place to also ask is:

I don't see whats new here - comparing global object values has always been used to identify browsers and versions. Same with looking for bugs/quirks in JS engines.

I don't think you can separate what's human and what's evolutionary. All human actions are a by product of evolution. We evolved to want to reproduce (for selfish reasons or not). Regardless, it seems pointless to assign negative moral worth to reproducing since it's an inevitable drive and very likely the only reason we exist at all.

It's a test that you are an actual programmer, a way to probe your tastes and maturity, a measure of your skill (if the code sample is bad) and a starting point for an interview.

For example, I wouldn't hire someone who sends me proprietary code from their previous job, and someone who "solves a common CS question" instead of submitting something advanced and/or useful shows that they are very junior (which is not the same as being careless and incompetent).
Implement Sign in with Apple Using Auth0 Extensibility
I was already coming here to comment (even before you said this) on how this seems to rhyme with picturing something in your mind's eye, which I always grokked as being figurative speech.

I realized through my relationship with my partner and later a coworker that some people picture things with extraordinary acuity (so much so that I can trigger revolt or disgust by just describing something), but I thought they were the special ones. It wasn't until I read about Derek Parfit having aphantasia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphantasia) that I realized I was sitting somewhere out in the long tail of human experience.
That's a good point, though I think one would have to write to each of the pages allocated to reserve the full extent of the memory allocated by the malloc call.
I forgot to mention that I keep Firefox just for Bitwarden extension. Though I usually just copy the password on my PC, and KDE Connect syncs the clipboard. I also try to be logged into as few services as possible on my phone, in case someone steals it while the phone is unlocked. Since the phone is rooted, determined thief would have many opportunities.

By "one tap", I meant the "Close all tabs" options next to "New incognito tab". If you tap "Close all tabs" in Chrome, you get an "Undo" button for few seconds. If you do the same in Firefox, you don't. There are "Recently closed tabs", but I learned the hard way that it only holds few tabs.
OK. Then that's legal.

If you could only get access to it through Apple, that could be illegal. Of course, only to the extent that Apple is a monopoly. Or at least a majority market holder? So, yeah, trying to argue that in front a 9 supremes, who are sticklers for getting this sort of thing right, is not likely to go well. We really should have changed the laws, and only after the laws were changed, should we have gone after the tech companies. Would have been much more successful.

Doing what we're doing is just a display for the purposes of getting votes. It's like the politicians don't even think the issue is serious, they just want to try to get some votes.

Which, I suppose, is their only real goal anyway.

Yeah, one of my old coworkers was ecstatic when he learned about joins. He'd been downloading two tables and then using vlookup to join them in Excel. Using actual joins sped up his workflow a lot.
I'm the maintainer of this project. Happy to take any feedback or suggestions.

At the end of last year/beginning of this year, I was working on this site heavily and attempted to use Patreon to fund the project. Ultimately, I didn't see enough interest and scaled back my time on it.

I still think it's a worthy goal to give an in-depth overview of the best typefaces, but I'm still looking for the right way of promoting and funding the project.
I was just thinking that "Bit Manipulation" would be better than "Bitmanip"but maybe I'm just being a bit thick this afternoon.
I've used emacs for 25 years, and I kinda agree, actually.

What keeps me using it is precisely that it's been stable that long. Given that I don't really need that many features, it's been nice to not have to change editors, what, 5 or 6 times in that period of time?

I've got some very light customization to expose the macro features more conveniently, and like three or four keybindings for my major languages I work in.

Other than that, part of what keeps me in emacs is that it supports SSH'ing to remote systems to edit things very well, so I can use my desktop editor in all kinds of environments with everything I'm used to, no matter where I'm having to edit something, as long as SSH can get to it. While there are other editors that can do this to some extent, I find that when it's nominally "time" to switch to New Editor of the Half-Decade it's often a missing or poorly-implemented feature.

Also, as strange as it may seem, a lot of editors aren't all that great at editing 5 files at a time. They certainly can, but they're not that great at it. Emacs is pretty good. I don't even use any funky extensions for it.

I still don't really know elisp. I've seen emacs wizards, and I'm not one, despite 25 years with it. Given that editor features aren't really that important, why not pick one decent tool and stick with it? At least then I'm not surprised when I have to pick up a new tool and, oh, crap, it doesn't do networks, and, tabs, seriously, tabs for multiple buffers with no keyboard access based on names? No.

(I do also know enough vi to get around in it when I have to use it on some system for some reason.)
Google probably wants one stream of data coming in that they have complete access to. Also probably make it more convenient to tap for the NSA

It's pretty awkward to use for video editing. I tried it out, repeating a simple project I'd done in kdenlive. You have to do a lot of manual format setup. Worse, by default it'll be unusably slow until you configure the caching just right. I found it more of a "sure, you could get this done in blender, but..."
This looks like they're not so much launching a paid version of Firefox-the-browser, but a paid subscription service, including e.g. a VPN service. This is in line with their recent push towards Firefox as a brand for related services and products like Firefox Send and Lockwise in general, with the browser being specifically referred to as Firefox Browser.

So presumably, Firefox accounts will become a freemium service, where paid accounts have e.g. higher limits for Firefox Send, a VPN, etc.
Insys Files for Bankruptcy, Overwhelmed by Costs of Opioid Suits
This sort of thing was so much more common (and worse) in the late 90s/early 2000s.

You couldn't write a blog post about some security finding or integration achievement without it attracting a slew of comments from clueless outsourced contractors begging you to teach them how to build or deploy a related enterprise-scale solution.
At least personally, I have found sunlight makes waking easier, smoother. So it's probably one factor out of several.
I look forward to see this business growing as it gives an alternative other than comcast and verizon which both have poor customer service. However, in Philly, 25 Mbps for $50 is expensive. In comparison I have been paying $70 a month for 100mbps with Verizon. Perhaps price will go down as customer base increases. I would also like to know more about the reliability of the service in bad weather.

This 9-5 mentality being imposed in a way that if your sleep pattern is an owl, you're kinda ostracized and viewed as an issue you need to fix, has been going on forever. When the crux suggestion from this `research` is to go to bed 2-3 hours earlier and wake up 2-3 hours earlier and presuming the person does not have DSPS (Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome) or other genetic trait that causes this is, and always is, offencive.

The way we treat night owls is akin to mental health in the 40's.

Not everybody works 9-5, not every job can be fitted into a 9-5. But many of the jobs allocated 9-5 could equally benefit from flexi-time and have those who wake up early come in earlier and those who wake up late, come in later. Covering more hours, and cater for those who are equally not 9-5 people.

It's time work hours got some research, not the people being forced into this arbitrary cookie-cutter mentality.

Some companies already do flexi-time and cater for such people, but time and time again, the media and research go to mentality is in viewing such peoples as an issue in a way that parallels many forms of negative science we have seen historically upon many differences between humans.

People's sleep patterns are not unified, not even binary, and people should be able to find the sleep pattern that works for them and not be forced into all wearing the same dictated sleep pattern.

With that, the way to boost wellbeing of night owls is:
1) Stop treating them as an issue but an opportunity and embrace that diversity.
2) See point one and stop repeating the same mistakes with different categorisation.
Philly tried to have a community mesh net years ago. It really didn't work out. Hopefully this fares better.
> You seem to be confused

No i am not confused, i'm perfectly aware of what i am seeing and writing, thank you.

> developers work with text. What more can computing power bring to text?

This is highly myopic, there is more to development tools that just source code and even visualization of source code and programs do benefit from being able to work with graphics. There is more to computing and programming than a 70s terminal.

And people use computers for more than programming.

> I like using tiling WM's (dwm and Awesome) because they organize windows for me and nothing is hidden in a bar. The concept of workspaces is much nicer than shuffling windows around a screen. I can quickly jump between workspaces and immediatly see my windows and contents.

Sure, although workspaces are available in overlapping window setups too. The rest you mention are just personal preferences, my comment weren't about liking tiling window managers over overlapping windows, it was about using those (and lightweight window managers - i included overlapping window managers too there) using them due to their resource use.

> What more do I need? GPU rendering of windows? Why?

I don't know but i have a feeling you'll just call irrelevant whatever i suggest.

But honestly...

> I along with many others enjoy doing more with less. My old i3 Thinkpad runs just fine. Plays youtube videos, streams music and edits text using OpenBSD. What more do I need? Why pointlessly throw more at a problem that doesn't need it?

...i think you totally missed the point of what i wrote. My point wasn't to throw more at a problem and especially not be wasteful about resources. Using and -especially- writing efficient software doesn't imply 70s terminal UIs.

A Pentium at 133MHz with 32MB of RAM, a machine that is a fraction of power of even the first Raspberry Pi, can run at comfortable performance an interface as rich as Windows 98. Even the lowest of the low performance laptops you can get your hands on today will have a ton more power, yet people treat it like it isn't anything more than a dumb terminal.
This seems like it's something that would be happening on the content end and not the ISP end, because the ISPs generally don't care about latency or jitter.

My understanding of net neutrality was that it is supposed to be a restriction on consumer residential/wireless ISPs' actions.

If you had an effective choice in ISPs, you could pick the one with properties you cared for, like lower latency connections; early internet gaming networks had prefered dial-up providers that shaved about 10ms off of cross-US ping times.

microG still sends data to Google though, I believe, even though the local code is open. Without Google involved at all, Android is barely usable as a daily driver. I tried for a while.
I don't get it. The Telegram GitHub says: "Since one can't use Google's push messaging in a FOSS app", but I can't work out why? Lots of FOSS apps on GitHub, mine included, use Firebase. It had never occurred to me it might be an issue.
Works absolutely great!
A day where the social media feeds go quiet
In this case I guess there are no friends, only enemies?
I agree. Unfortunately, I've seen this more demanding behaviour primarily from tech savvy people. Programmers/Engineers (me including) can have wildly esoteric demands. Only after did I start running a business, did I re-adjust my expectations of myself and that of others.

That said, fortunately, Firefox is still common of a tool which is used by the general public and I think they'll pay. This would have been a painful process had this been a library which was exclusively used by devs but browsers etc can escape that unreasonable expectation.

P.S. I don't think GP is making some extra-ordinary demands but I won't be surprised if someone will demand the heaven and moon from Firefox for 10 USD a year. Absolutely will not be surprised.

Preventing transacting with known "terrorists" as according to the OFAC list (in the US at least)? That's just one other legitimate purpose.
Perfect example in picking affiliate comparison sites - they skew the market, and don't include companies or plans that aren't in the affiliate scheme, so you rarely end up with the actual best value through them.

Just the sort of conflicting loyalties that leads to insurance, pension and mortgage misselling scandals.

More generally the exchange seems to have become one of being scammed out of £10 of data, tracking and inferences for every £1 of value received. It's years since it's felt like a fair and equitable exchange - like search in exchange for simple keyword ads without tracking.
Lots of people have suggested adding Inter UI to this project. I've held off for two reasons: the creator, Rasmus, has built a very good site for the typeface himself and the typeface is under active development, which means my overview would constantly be in danger of being out of date.
Most people who self-apply the title "night owls" are probably artificially inhibiting their sleep by blue light exposure, so this advice is useful to many.

"Could replace some antidepressants"

Fixed that for you.

"Depression" is a diagnosis that identifies at least a half-dozen independent illnesses with different etiologies. Thus far, the only reliable way we know to distinguish one from the others is by which (if any) existing medication helps it. Some meds might help with more than one.

Often more than one is present, or is accompanied by anxiety or OCD. Then, a medication might help with only part of the problem.

So, it would be great if psilocybin cured or just treated one or more varieties of depression. But, which ones?
I have never experienced positive sides of alcohol consumption. So I am very welcome this trend of having option to go out with friends and have a choice of drinks besides coffee.
Xbox Project Scarlett
Despite marketers who told me to create custom content for Facebook and Tumblr, I focused on creating content for my website.

3 years later, I imagine it paid off. Facebook being pay to play and Tumblr never evolved to include my demographic makes the hindsight look good..

Brand name is important, but having your users come to a third party site for access to your own work sounds extremely risky.
"East Kensington start-up"...I thought that was code for "crack house" or "junky graveyard".

I went through the same thing. Unfortunately in my case the result was disc degeneration that ultimately required a spinal fusion.

IMO for serious back issues you need go to neurosurgeon, not an ortho, and get imaging done asap. I spent months screwing around with a mediocre PT acting on lousy instructions from a doctor. Frankly in the ortho practice, I felt like I was in a sales funnel with an end goal of big $ surgery vs getting healed. Different experience in the other practice.
i basically agree with you and would want the same if i were to be paying for it. but. usually when companies try to sell a thing they try to make it _less_ alienating, not more. loosening up wallets is hard enough; when you pry out all the “helpful” features it gets even harder (for a very large portion of the market. maybe opposite for you and me, but who will this be targeted with this product?)

in general it’d be great to see the wider market start to see these “helpful” features as actually harmful, but that 180 degree reversal is slow going. we’re in the middle of it right now with security/privacy vs convenience. seems like half the companies are going one way and half are going the other.
There is some support for this actually. Namely, when overcommit_memory is set to its default value (0), then it actually implements a heuristic for overcommit. (Where as the value `1` corresponds to "always overcommit.") Namely, only when overcommit_memory is set to 0, if you allocate memory with mmap and pass the MAP_NORESERVE option, then allocation behaves as if overcommit is always enabled and there is no check. But if you don't pass that option, then there is a heuristic check which could cause malloc to fail.

I discovered this because of differences in how jemalloc and my system allocator (from glibc) allocated memory. Namely, jemalloc would pass the MAP_NORESERVE option, which meant my program behaved as if overcommit was always enabled. Thus, an out-of-memory condition meant that it was subject to the OOM killer. But when I used my system's allocator, the MAP_NORESERVE option was not passed, which led to the heuristic detecting an out-of-memory condition and causing the malloc call to fail.

For more info, see `man 5 proc` and/or my exploration here: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/issues/993#issuecommen...

(It's all still a bit wishy washy, so I think your point still stands. But I figured I'd chime in with some bits that don't appear to be widely known, and which led to some surprising differences in behavior based on which allocator one chooses.)
I bet for 90% of users of Facebook(or Google) it is not clear how actually Facebook makes money

> Residential customers are not allowed to . . . consume more bandwidth than required to support typical residential Internet activities. PhillyWisper may disconnect or limit the bandwidth for residential customers who use residential service for activities deemed atypical at PhillyWisper’s discretion.

This worries me much more than any privacy issues (which could easily be alleviated with a $5/mo. VPN).

Are we supposed to read their minds to determine what "typical" behavior we're allowed to engage in? Or should we just live in constant fear of our internet being arbitrarily disconnected?
Nice rig! In a way I guess I am happy that they don’t have CUDA/deep learning support so I am not tempted to buy one.

It pays for Apple to provide very fast dev machines to support iOS and macOS platforms, and my Dad has been waiting for a new release to support 3D animation and video production.
