I think your comment is a bit misleading as they aren't doing anything nefarious as you suggest. My guess is this is a carryover from Chrome and not something Brave decided to build; if that's the case your not getting more secure by staying with Chrome.

In evaluating Brave, you have to give it apples to apple comparison anyway. Brave vs. Chrome as its directly built on chromium. For compatibility, it shares the chrome app store too. I like to think of Brave as Chrome without most of Google but with all the benefits.

Anecdotally, I switched a colleague to Brave about 3 months ago. He decided to switch back to Chrome. Chrome was so much slower than Brave and added battery drain that he came back. I assume it was all the additional requests cut out (Google) or blocked by Brave (Adblocker).
The article does briefly mention some reasons they perform better than plugins.
Adventures in Quantity over Quality [2019 GDC Talk]
The future of diversity and inclusion in tech
I suppose this is the natural consequence of making "microagressions" a thing. What a time to be alive.
Finished the show (last episode aired two days ago).

It was as good as it could get I think. No stone were left unturned, they didn’t shy out from most themes (sexual harassment, moral harassment, generation gap, sub contracting, bribes, actual death by overwork, heroism etc).

The take on the subjects is honest and decent, they manage to push well thought arguments without making too much ennemies or pushing the ball too far. The ending is a very soft landing without ruffling too many feathers.

I hope some other series will fill the gap left open and have a more aggressive take, but this series was good enough I think.
A long time ago, there was a W3C standard for this called web annotations². It never really caught on, possibly because people and organizations were expected to host their own annotation servers.

NCSA Mosaic had the feature back in 1993. Check out this post from Marc Andreesen on the www-talk list: http://1997.webhistory.org/www.lists/www-talk.1993q2/0416.ht...

A rather obscure browser by the W3C called Annotea also had support for web annotations. I vaguely remember downloading and installing it just to try annotations.

To itself. And it really depends whether you make more or less. I would argue you earn alot less because now it is significantly harder to support family of five with a single income, which was pretty normal in 70s, 80s (+you had a mortage for a big house on you, now vast majority of young couples starting families have like zero chance to buy such properties). I would love to find HN post about financial situation of young people now, which pretty much painted it all in black color but google fails me as I dont remember exact topic name.
I think this miss the point. This seems more in the line to "Duolingo to Silicon Valley workers: Move to Pittsburgh, where you can actually afford a home" call[1].

That is, it's not about less good quality of life, just less high salary possible only in places with less high level of misc. inflation.

Plus passed some level, I doubt higher salaries make good corollary with high quality of life. Not that you can't have a sane happy life with a lot of money, of course. But :
- it doesn't seem to to be a requirement, see for example the case of Matthieu Ricard[2]
- large salary, or more generally acquiring a social status broadly recognized as great success doesn't prevent from terrible quality of life. Arguably, even you go with Camus saying "Un geste comme le suicide se prépare dans le silence du cœur au même titre qu’une grande oeuvre", not all people in [3] committed suicide out of a situation where they felt they had good quality of life.

"If it's stupid and it works, then it's not stupid" — my motto
I think we're both just going to have to walk away from this one ol chap. You're never going to be able to convince me that rich people should exist, and I'm never going to be able to convince you that liberty is an illusion. Well played though.
The technical problem here is way easier to solve than the social one. You'd want to avoid having hatespeech or some attack being planned on URLs of your blog. This is by definition a tricky problem. Should moderation follow us to the remotest and most deserted corners of the web? Should prying eyes follow humans all the time, even on this abstract ocean of digital content?
On technical side I think we'd need some sort of widespread micropayment mechanism baked into major browsers or at least Firefox. Then decentralized commenting solutions will follow.
This isn't true.

Two, a large percentage (perhaps even a majority?) work remotely.

Thanks for giving me an excuse to recommend "A Deepness in the Sky", by far my favorite science fiction book with a planet of sentient spiders. It's the second in a series, but the first two book can be read out of order. https://www.amazon.com/Deepness-Sky-Zones-Thought/dp/0812536... (The first book is good too; The third one was OK, but not as great as the first two.)
It seems he had a lot of issues due to Spark executors failing which seems a setting issue. My guess is that the executors were being killed by the system OOM killer. Spark's memory management is counter-intuitive. Spark spills intelligently to disk so executors don't need a lot of memory to process data if you're not doing interactive queries. However spark will use all the memory it's given and sometimes it will use more than that (might be the OS actually, not sure). So the trick is to give Spark's executors LESS memory (as a percentage of the node's memory) so there's a buffer in case Spark uses more memory than allocated.

Yes, that needs to go into the calculation as well.

Note I’m not defending this practice, just wondering if it’s really the problem it’s made out to be.
"microaggressions" and "othering". What is this nonsense. Is this how people behave? Why is this considered acceptable? Someone musters the time and courage to come speak freely at your event, and this is how they are treated? Maybe all meetups should just be a cutout of Ghandi at the podium with a static code cheat sheet on the projector to ensure nobody is offended.
Thanks! Will definitely give that a look since Synergy rolled back version 2 to beta.

I'm thinking of using it (or a slightly hacked modification) because I keep a "master" resume in a messy LaTeX doc with lots of crap I usually filter out, and with variable accuracy in things like dates. But if I change careers, it will be useful because I'll have all that material ready to put back in.

Even while you're searching, having your different versions based on a single source of truth helps you keep everything consistent.

And you can then convert your source data to MSWord or other formats. It outputs HTML, so it's already a click away.

(Careful sending any easily editable format to some recruiters, they're liable to "enhance" it for you.)

Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, Epic, Blisk, (and Edge?) can pool development resources. I dont think all the forks would have as much problem as people believe they would. A ton of webkit users switched to blink nearly overnight.

I think the bigger issue is chrome implementing an new web feature that blink-fork2 and firefox dont agree with, that web devs start implementing anyway. Google controls web development more than they control browser development.

Theres also the WideVine argument, but for me personally I dont see why i need my primary browser to also play netflix. Its not that hard to open a separate netflix app/browser. The amount of drm encapsulated video I watch in my browser is minimal to none.
I've always gone with title, first name, middle name(s), last name, suffix; all optional (or requiring that at least one of first and last name exists), all representable in Unicode, space allowed but no line breaks, each part no longer than 300 characters.

In theory that might not cover everything, but I've never been able to come up with a counter example. Schema.org seems to take a very similar approach. Of course assembling that back together is culture dependant and depends on your use case. If you only need a simple name field that's easier.
There was a similar article (2014) that is also interesting. I think too many of us see new and shiny and immediately glom onto it, forgetting that the UNIX/regex fathers knew a thing or two about crunching data.

Neither RGB nor CMY can actually create any color, the color space is limited. Add to that the complex interactions pigments can have with light and you're off into the woods.
I don't see how that follows - even with lacking care to mix exhaust hot water with cold to make it warm. That would at worst cause localized fish kills and algae blooms as opposed to lasting damage.

Nuclear plants are usually located with abundant water for cooling and contamination is more of a concern than evaporation.
I have this vague memory that Gab was associated with some alt-right/neo-nazi/something-or-other thing and I should stay far away. Their website refers to Blocking "Big Tech" (which smells like "Deep State" to me).

Is this something I should be using/supporting? I'm not an overtly political person but I just don't want to be in bad company.
> FAA and Boeing (and Airbus as well) are all going to learn a lot from this process which will make air travel safer in the future

Yeah, right. Until they start cutting corners again for economic reasons. There's absolutely no change in any of those organizations driven by this incident or by an increase in standards or by safety, there are no new regulations, it's all a dog and pony show driven by money and saving their asses.

"if you look at the history of aviation improvements this isn't the first and it won't be the last time"

And that's a great argument for just letting the next horrible accident happen in a few years. Until people start demanding that at least the goal of those organizations should be Total and Complete Flight Safety, the FAA and Boeing will cut corners because "accidents will always happen, this isn't the first and it won't be the last, so who cares". Accidents will stay a calculated risk for them, in stead of something that just should never ever happen.
I think this comment[1] on the linked Meta question explains it pretty well:

> To the people confused why ads need to run their own Javascript (even ones that are just static images): The short answer is that Ad Networks do not and cannot trust website operators. They need to run their own JavaScript served from their own servers in order to verify that a real user saw the ad and for how long, and they can't trust the website operator to tell them. And these pieces of JavaScript tend to be more invasive and privacy-destroying than the website's JS because they care, far more than the actual website does, that the "user" is not a bank of iphones in a sweatshop in China.

"Similarly the “new” world was in regular contact with the old for the last several thousand years. It’s only 53 miles from North America to Asia, even less if you include the two islands between them."

That's an interesting idea. Do you have a reference or materials that talks about this?
>because if people could see what happened they would never fly one of those things again.

They might not anyway.

As it is, people are irrationally afraid of flying. Plane crashes are a fetishized "nightmare scenario". Multiple crashes linked to the same plane (or company) will, likely, have terrible business consequences.

Ethnicity and wealth are physical things. Happiness is an emotion you feel. They are related only insofar as one depends on physical things for happiness. This is a spiritual issue really (not to be confused with religion or any sort of belief) and this is something that our (otherwise very successful) modern way of life is very much neglecting.

Sorry to tell you this, but teenagers don’t text anymore. They use apps instead - Instagram, Snapchat, Whatsapp, Telegram - because texting is a broken system that doesn’t work reliably. If you cut your kid off from a smartphone, given today’s teenagers, you would be excluding them from anything social outside of school.

I am not affiliated with this project but can give you some insight as I've spent a significant time in hospitality industry and build a delivery system for a QSR.

Most restaurants that focus on delivery are QSRs. While full service does deliver, usually, its not their main focus.

Within the QSR space, brands are mostly broken down by number of locations which influences their decision making with regard to their technology. Most established brands in Tier 1 markets do focus on technology heavily: its a significant revenue stream. However, their approach differs.

The McDs, Penera, Panda Express, Chipotle of the world usually stick to only one platform. The focus more on integration of Delivery, POS, and inventory more than covering significant amount of platforms. Some decide to use an off the shelf solution while others use a 3rd party delivery system on top of whatever their POS provider brings. There is significant complexity in this paragraph and they all approach it differently but the gist is the same.

Smaller brands that have ~1,000 locations or less begin to splinter into 2 groups: some focus on similar integration as above while others will support multiple platforms via several tablets. Since the revenue stream is significant, they focus on Ops to get everything in line and have gotten to be extremely good at managing/streamlining the process. Its not perfect but it works.

Brands between 20-500 locations will also manage multiple platforms but some invest into "aggregate" providers. Such companies will build out a unified backend for the location and integrate with multiple marketplaces (Grub, Door Dash, proprietary, etc.) to unify the system. Usually, they use a 3rd party for the admin that already has the infrastructure (OLO comes to mind). While in this approach streamlines operations, its quite costly as they charge for volume of orders.

Brands with less than 20 locations usually resort to just using 3-5 tablets on their walls for orders.

As a disclaimer, these are generalities and there are other factors that influence decision makers such as franchising percentages, Tier 1/2/3 markets, and their overall approach.

So to answer your question: most brands are currently moving to aggregate platforms or manage fewer platforms in order to streamline their operations. Large brands also use Yext to streamline their on-line marketing presence or other providers.
In a way yes, but for me it's not about that. It's about not letting everyone and their mother execute their code on my machine for whatever reason. Ads, tracking, cryptomining, surveillance.

Mind you that I am only running NoScript and not a "real" adblocker. Show me ads in a static image and I'm fine with that. Selfhost the ads on your own domain and you are also going to get whitelisted.

I mainly do it for cases like this where Stackoverflow has enabled an ad network that is pushing code to all of their users that is doing some weird things (like querying/opening audio devices) and stackoverflow is not even aware that it is doing that. What if it was a cryptominer?
Ah, so we should not work towards inclusiveness because it could be scary.

I'm going to assume you're no engineer.
JIT time disappears after a warm up, but cold start of a .net application is massive.
It's not necessarily good engineering, it could also be selection bias. It depends on how much risk is added by cutting corners. If too many corners are cut, but it didn't fail just due to luck, it's still bad engineering.

* On the one hand, supposedly one of the best users of clean energy (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-48711649). Side question: where does it all come from?

Wind seems likely given all the news about record wind output when speeds pick up. Wikipedia's number for zero-carbon production seem quite different than BBC's though.

The upsetting part, to me anyway, is not that it uses blockchain. It's because:

a) not a true crypto-currency because it's centralized

b) such currencies are not regulated yet in the slightest

c) the centralized authority is a consortium of private corporations of which one, Facebook, is providing the entire infrastructure

d) Facebook is known to not handle data appropriately and is not well regulated when it comes to privacy and data protection

e) I haven't seen any method to allow other people to invest or directly convert the money back to nation currencies which makes it easy for the consortium to just decide to pull the plug and exit scam with no insurance for people who bought Libra

f) The consortium have essentially become a bank out of thin air and that comes with a whole slew of regulatory issues
