Yes, the only thing I'm not syncing are passwords. Are those 3 folders under "Desktop Bookmarks" visible in clean install before syncing? https://imgur.com/q1W7GgZ Maybe it's synced somehow only partially? All those folders are empty. And also on my desktop browser I can't see bookmarks I created in FP. I tried hitting "Sync Now" multiple times since yesterday, it always looks like it's working, after a second there's "Last synced: 0 minutes ago"

And I don't see FP under devices in https://accounts.firefox.com/settings/clients?service=sync&c....
I would assume it would be opt-in if they went with this.
both - have a look at Slack's status history. They seem to have an outage of some sort every month
Fundamentally that's the nature of employment, the employee is a means to an end? Even in non-capitalist systems you're primarily there to serve a goal. When it gets bad is where you're only there to serve a goal and your contribution and participation aren't valued.

As you say, bad metrics are a problem. But some form of loop-closing is essential.

Desktop. Where are you having problems?
China is constantly showing aggression in the South China sea, outside of it's borders. Amazing how people can post with such confidence on something they clearly know literally nothing about.
Being on the side "kept in check", believe me, we were better off on ourselves. Dictators fall one way or another, 3rd party military intervention is rarely selective and not a bit subtle with the collaterals.
That's not true. Both China and the US had WTO commitments. What is true is China had cheaper labor then the US and succeeded in attracting manufacturing.
The fear of Islamic terrorism is mostly BS, and the cyberwar stuff is a manageable risk.

However, the "red danger" of the Soviets was (IMHO) an existential risk to freedom--just as the Poles why they fought for free multi-party elections. The rising influence of China, a totalitarian state, is a cause for concern. Why would you think a dictatorship growing more powerful is a good thing?

> Any one will do, anything to deflect from real problems at home.

As a society/civilization, I would think it would be possible to walk and chew gum at the same time: raise concerns about bad actors abroad and try to solve domestic problems.

It's not a surprise to me. The police primarily exist to protect the property and lives of the powerful.
Honestly curious, how long did you last without having to:

* update the version of the IRC server

* update the version of the os of the machine running the IRC server

* repair a broken disk / fan / overflowed disk on the machine

* add / remove / reset password / change weird settings of users

I'm not saying this is "unbearable", and plenty of organisations have people whose job description would probably correspond to doing those tasks.

But I can definitely understand why you would want to skip them entirely and have someone host your chat - which is basically the job slack is paid for.

"Mission critical, but not paid by your customer" is always tricky to staff for, isn't it ?
How would that solve the freeloader problem?
I'm pretty sure countries' citizen as Lybia, Afghanistan, Syria, Irak would be way better without the US.
I slipped over the "live" word, but I still stand by what I said. I most probably work in a similar environment, with tonnes of live production issues, and I believe it's a result of not being allowed to proactively plan for situations - most of the issues are a result of cost savings, systems driven to their absolute maximum capacity, etc. Live production issues are a byproduct of moving too fast, breaking too many things.
But it isn't just a camera, its an array of stuff

Sounds bad until you realize you can buy a used iPad for the cost of a hypothetical repair for whatever the damage was.
The real question, is why for our very own military industry, we never have studied it. Why did we need others to fund it?
>you have to balance that against not preventing instability around the world

You are absolutely right. This statement is as true as saying you have to balance eating lavish restaurant meals 7 nights a week against letting your children starve. Completely true. However, if you're currently eating lavish restaurant meals 7 nights a week, the direction you need to go in toward balance is obvious.

Would you support reducing U.S. military spending from 2-3x that of China (the 2nd highest spender), to 1.5x?

This looks incredibly useful!

Ever since I started working with 2+ screens on desktops, I dread whenever I have to work on a laptop (and can't connect it to a monitor).

I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this.
My understanding, as the other comment said, is that both were included.

Even still, I think the question can be applied to either type, though I think the applicability to purposefully recorded videos of murder is stronger.
I'm getting a bunch of duplicate messages. Luckily these guys are building a chat platform and not financial systems.
So maybe someone else can help me understand, but I do not know why you would want to "spoof" CRCs. CRCs are not a cryptographic hash algorithm, and CRCS are meant to correct errors in transmission. If I were to MITM, I would simply recalculate the CRC after changing the transmission.
I had a job running a tech department on a small company. It was my first management job and I wanted to make a success out it.

The company was pretty dysfunctional and I took it upon myself to pretty much do everything, so much so that I was working 12 hour days (This is work time, minus breaks, measured with an app) so my day would start at ~ 06:30 and finish ~ 21:00.

I have never been quite so miserable in my life and I was making so many mistakes that it was unreal. I also picked up a very bad habit of doing things quickly and 90% there as that was better than not doing them at all and to do them properly would take too long. It's been close to a year now and I still find myself falling in the turn things around quickly and sacrifice quality trap, even when there is no rush at all for it. I hope I get rid of this bad habit soon
Is that a thing? How would they know? I was just thinking about moving our team over. :( Why is it an issue? It's not like we're sharing porn with each other...
I also think that comparison is a bit of a stretch, although those US nuclear facepalm moments do exist[0].

It's not science if you don't reliably get the same output if you provide the same input. It's useful, sure. But it's not science.
I wouldn't say they don't have the talent. Whether they do or not, they could get it very quickly. What is holding back Chinese foundries has more to do with legal architectures than human talent. A 7nm facility is a huge investment, takes years to develop, and is very location-specific. The few corporations capable of creating such a facility are hesitant to sink the required capital, energy and tradecraft into a facility in China. The long-term risks are too much for this very sensitive business.
AirPlay is great unless it isn't. It would often not work correctly in my last office. There was something about the network that caused it to drop, freeze, or refuse to connect. When possible we'd use HDMI instead of fighting with it.
What I will agree with here is that we have made devices so thin and fragile that you instantly have to wrap them in thick cases to protect them. Or carry around a pound of adapters to shave off a few grams in having more than one port.

The optimization toward light and thin has gone a little overboard. These aren’t just art pieces, but tools. Make my laptop 10% heavier but give me a machine that can take a beating
Right, but those bombs may have been designed with armor piercing in mind. Battleships' main batteries fired both AP and HE shells, the latter being unable to penetrate heavily armored targets.

I take your point re the Maverick. But you do need to make a big hole in a battleship to actually sink it. To kill a tank you just need to make a small hole and spray the insides.

A 16" AP shell weighs about as much as a Tomahawk and is traveling much faster. Sure, it has a smaller charge, but also a lot more kinetic energy. In fact, the charge itself was irrelevant to the shell's armor piercing capacity, as AP shells were fused to explode after the armor was penetrated.
How to Engineer Software Efficiently
In my opinion USA is the one that needs to be kept in check, being the self proclaimed world police has left only destruction in it's wake. Covert operations, intelligence gathering is totally fine, but having several military bases in every country with an oil resource and forcing your will on innocent people thousands of miles away from your country is not. You are the aggressor and don't delude yourself otherwise.
Most people are missing the fact that the population of the developing countries will be more interested in the convertability of the Libra coin and its potential stability than the day to day transactions.

Most people in developing countries don’t have access to USD, online transactions or crypto (because of the knowledge barrier).
Isn't internet a single communication medium anyway?
What is episodic data science?
There’s email, phone, whats app, group SMS, some form of WebEx or Zoom, or even a shared google doc spreadsheet with tasks for each outage.

If Slack is your only forum of communication with your team it’s time to rethink your support structure and DR plans.

Edit: It’s very unhelpful if I point out issues and don’t provide solutions. PagerDuty has a great article about Incident Response[1].

This article focuses on carbon. CO2 is not "pollution" but a fundamental part of our atmosphere. CO2 is the basic food of plants. It is complete rubbish that CO2 levels have any link whatsoever with earth temperature.

The main factor in earth temperature is solar activity on which humans have ZERO control of.

Ok, fair point Rust makes multithreading easier but one could easily make the argument that fighting Rust's borrow checker is a huge burden to development.

My point is Node isn't as bad as a server-side language as people claim. There are certain use cases where you can leverage Node's strengths and use another language somewhere else where its shines more.

I use Node heavily in my backend stack and have been extremely pleased with it's performance and library ecosystem.
I don't want to sound to hyperbolic, but US intelligence agencies have gone rogue and do whatever the hell they please. Actually, I think all the government agencies have gone rogue, the FBI certainly has--spying on the 2016 election, running terror cells that either got away from them or were designed to create chaos, gun running, drug running, you name it. Scary times when major pieces of our own government are beyond control.

In fact, I think we're living in the end times of free speech on the Internet on sites like this one. Censorship is coming. Everyone needs to think about how they're going to get timely information when the Internet gets locked down.

We'll see if my post gets deleted or flagged or ghosted.
>The syntax doesn't seem to be changed compared to Julia (so is it actually a new language or just a library?

And the semantics are the same with some additions. This is a good thing as it allow interop with Julia code, low mental overhead and shows the power of Julia :)
It turns out that disassembly and maintenance are features that cost quite a bit of money all along the chain from design to component sourcing to assembly and even delivery. Most consumers want rock bottom prices and would rather just by a new widget with more better features. None of this touches on what Jon Ive did in terms of making the machines themselves and their interfaces as appealing and accessible as possible within the constraints of hardware and software production.

One of the big potential advantages to the current situation is that some company could design and market computers that are repairable and also hire Jon Ive to enhance their beauty and interfaces.
> All those repressed military desires by your actors are everywhere suddenly given a green light.

Too bad there is no one to repress the military desires by your American actors that are given green light to start arbitrary wars around the world, right?
A few examples of things we could do to stop a little the bleeding out of democracies:

1. Outlaw lobbying;

2. Tax the ass off the filthy rich;

3. Break up big corporations in tech, oil, media, you name it. No more monopolies or monopsonies;

4. Change the electorate system.

5. Increase work conditions. Higher wages, jobs availability, social welfare, etc.

The obvious takeaway is that if you reduce wealth inequality you get a healthier society and democracy.
Absolving AMD -- who actively made the choices in this case to pursue a market that they certainly didn't need to chase, and which would certainly end up biting them in the medium term -- while blaming "lazy western journalists", is simply incredible. How in the world it became the fault of journalists is an incredible stretch. The Trump bit makes your motivation suspect.

The bit about big versus small -- China pulls the same tact with virtually all foreign companies, even making Apple and others play the China game. Intel was expressly forbidden by congress of sell or licensing server chips in China, and AMD went in to try to eek a small profit in the void.

That is rather unfortunate if there is only a single channel that an organization can use in a production outage situation.
> so if you don't like it you're welcome to buy a different laptop or phone

This is false. Massively.

The available options are not many, not strongly different neither much freely available to choose. Most, at best, start with "can I at least afford it?".

I know many that wish to have an Apple device but must use a very bad and cheap android... because is what them can afford.

Also, consider developers, supposedly a group that "could choose best".

How many times "where is a good laptop that run linux" you hear? Is because it not EXIST. I can't choose it. Only accept a decent approximation.

If you pay attention, you will see that the market is not close to provide good options in so many fronts.

I remember a few years ago: "Where is the RDBMS GUI front-end for osx?", It not EXIST at the time. But you can "chose" to use linux? Linux not have good UI tools at large. Only windows in my niche.
It is, technically. Good thing there's also phones and SMS.
This goes way way beyond graphical models.
If you use CarPlay, the map is shown on your car display and your phone display gets used as a secondary display with a list of upcoming directions.

Here in Japan I use a local navigation app called NAVITIME and it has a mode to show a list of upcoming turns normally as well. On the highway it also shows upcoming rest stops and what facilities they have.
I'd style my way out of that argument by saying out reliance on tools like Slack rather than other pre-planned work builds a reliance on that one tool for all tasks being done "in the moment", which then means it's relied on as the medium in live production issues.

If there was a lower reliance on IM for all tasks, other solutions for crisis management would be utilised (potentially).
A resurgence of IRC is nigh!
Cloudflare seems to have decent status reporting. I'd go with AWS on this.
Absolutely not. There are even times when engineers from the company will comment on HN.

Why can't you use email?
Honestly, it sounds like you may be watching too much news. If you feel there's an impending crisis (especially a worldwide "democratic breakdown"), then it's quite possible you're reacting emotionally to content that's designed to make you feel exactly that.

I recommend unplugging for 30 days before you make any decisions. Walk around and look at the world around you with your own eyes. Don't let the media influence major life decisions without at least purging it from your life a bit first. It can be surprising the effect it has on you.
I removed FP and installed it again, this time with pairing through QR code, it again looks like it's working perfectly, but I can't see bookmarks, only history. And there is no mobile session under devices in https://accounts.firefox.com/
It's more an admission of the current state of things. Adam Jackson, the previous release manager, stepped down, decided to switch gears to doing other graphics-related stuff, and nobody has volunteered to make a new X server release.

xorg-devel has always been a relatively slow mailing list, and very little new R&D has been done on the X server for the past 5 years or so. Latest I can think of is the DRM lease work, which is still ongoing.
But it is routed. Also your laptop usually has 2 Network cards on different physical layers... Not the same.
The internet is specifically designed to route around downed links such that there is no SPOF, that’s the theory anyway.

However, when major backbones go down it takes it a while to recover.
here is a slightly earlier article saying they were unable to manufacture them entirely:

>https://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2016/01/26/china-ca...

> Premier Li Keqiang recently made a shocking revelation about the industrial capabilities of China on national television: despite the fact that the country is widely known as the “world’s factory” and produces everything from iPhones, aircraft carriers, high-speed railways to spacecraft. Until now there is not a single manufacturer in China that is able to produce the tiny rotating ball fitted to the tip of a ball pen that disperses ink as you write.

> Each of these tiny metal balls has to be imported by Chinese pen manufacturers from overseas suppliers.

What OSI layer are we discussing?
Some people want a war. This is true in every government in every nation. Most people don't. Most people have grown war weary and are ready to move to the era beyond. Economic sanctions are an experiment toward that, an alternative to war that keeps the warhawks at bay and proves kinetic wars are obsolete.
Just to add some context: DRM = direct rendering manager, not digital rights management.
I personally would put my money on Nvidia when it comes to most value in AI projects, but I don't have inside knowledge with either company.
Not really? The internet is literally an internet, i.e. a network that connects networks. You can nearly always find another connection that still works, be it a coffee shop or cellular.

Sure, having a single connection is a SPOF, but anyone living in an urban area and anyone with a cellphone (and not using the same cellular carrier for home internet) has more than one connection.
That's the least of problems with the US military forces.

Of course they pollute more than 140 countries noone has ever heard of.

Just to make sure the article is as ludicrous as I thought it would be, I clicked on the link and read it:

> The money spent procuring and distributing fuel across the US empire could instead be spent as a peace dividend, helping to fund a Green New Deal in whatever form it might take.

Fix: give us those taxpayer monies and let us spend it all, down to last penny. Call it Green Plunder, not Peace Dividend.

> But that doesn't mean that you can ground it in empirical evidence or effectively apply the scientific method of inquiry.

Yes, it does. The scientific method and empirical investigation apply to any phenomena in the material universe, including human behavior.

Such investigation might lead to models with irreducible areas of randomness if there is some.ares of human behavior not controlled by deterministic laws, but our best models in certain areas of the physical sciences also have irreducible randomness, so that's not a distinguishing feature.
