I cannot stand shower gel. It feels like it sticks to my skin, and takes ages to wash off.

Soap is straighforward, effective, washes off easily, and is available in many wonderful forms. I currently use Dr Bronner's inimitable liquid soap, and am looking forward to using some small but ruinously expensive bars i bought from Claus Porto while on holiday.
Is there any reason to believe Mozilla wont just leave the android version at 68 with addon support until Fenix gets add-on support?
Give Kiwi Browser a shot on Android. It's a fork of Chrome with all the google tracking removed and fully supports Chrome Add-ons. I love it and it's fast (I was a long time Firefox on Android user but it just got to slow to use).
The UI for the desktop client is a bit rough around the edges, but it's certainly not the worst.

It is the worst for giving presentations. I had practiced for giving a presentation from my MacBook, and it was sprung on me when I arrived. Zoom "oh so helpfully" pops down a control panel every time the mouse cursor approaches the menus at the top of the screen. It also "oh so helpfully" puts itself into fullscreen when I don't want it to do that.

As far as I'm concerned, the UX is bungled.
To play devil's advocate:

If I'm the hiring manager, then I probably don't want to hire you for the 28 out of 30 jobs you're not interested in.

Sure, you're selecting for perfectionists, but arguably that's better than hiring people who don't really care about your company.
You're right. Nothing beats actually working with someone to learn whether you want to work with someone. However there are inefficiencies in doing this, which is why assessments (which are all proxies for the work) are used.

I don't think it's unreasonable to use subtle testing like this. We likely do it anyway (i.e we make judgement calls when reviewing someone's online profile, portfolio etc) - all equally sub-optimal but we use it because we need a short cut
No, the prison kind of broke down which caused quite a bit of chaos itself. Revolutions are not stable environments.
It really glosses over and ignores the actual history of OSX by going directly from describing NeXT, to iphone stuff. The first releases of OSX were basically NeXT with a weird half baked apple GUI on top of it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Server_1.0

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Public_Beta

As OSX has evolved as its own product, of course it's been diverging from its roots, but even as recently as v10.4 or v10.5 it was blindingly obvious where it came from, when you started poking around under the hood of the OS.
But save you from the pain of getting to/from CDG.
The escape is not buying an Apple computer.
I think your time table is questionable. Within a year, a $60 game will generally be $30, and $20 or less a year after that. I don't think you have to get total price parity for a regional release. Fewer people in the privileged markets are going to bother seeking out the game in another region to save $5 or $10 than they are to save $40 or $50.

I'm struggling imagining who can afford the equipment to run 'the latest tech' but will not be able to afford a game that uses it. I strongly suspect 'the latest tech' is important mostly to the privileged markets.

You might be right about the marketing. A hit game will probably be just as profitable later; maintaining or growing its own hype. The bigger problem I think is for games that are flops. Companies probably want to sell as many copies as possible before word gets out; and greatly staggering releases will result in a lot fewer copies being sold as you suggest.
I don't think that invalidates the idea.

I can't fly everywhere, I still have to do the last mile some other way. In the sane way I don't expect the train to pick me up out side my house.

Further I don't expect to go to my local airport and expect to be able to travel to any other airport direct, so why should the same apply to train travel?
>I have one simple rule: I don’t want to work with people whom I wouldn’t invite for coffee. When hiring a remote team member, I always talk to them about their life plans or favorite books. This small talk shows me whether a person will be a good fit for our team.

Hrm.... I was under the impression that people hiring were looking for employees/teammembers/coworkers, not buddies??

I don't personally care if I would enjoy coffee/beer with a coworker as long as they are a good teammate, employee, and coworker. I don't find an team full of people that have the same hobbies and enjoy the same literature particularly beneficial in any way.

I just don't think "enjoys the same books as me" is a good test for "makes a good teammate."

In the past I have had some absolutely fantastic coworkers that I had absolutely nothing in common with outside of work and would never want to hang out with (stuff like young earth creationists, has a mail order bride younger than his daughter, incredibly sheltered people, and just weird people). OTOH, some people I've become friends with outside of work make for horrible coworkers (stuff like poor work ethic, poor code quality, horrible attitude towards work, primadonnas in a work setting, control freaks at work). I also worked with a guy who just wouldn't talk about anything personal at work with coworkers (boss obviously different) because he believed in a separation between personal life and work life. No problem, he still made a fine coworker.

I'd very, VERY strongly discourage asking interviewees about their "life plans," like, seriously, this is a BAD idea. Asking about "life plans" can come across as looking to discriminate against people with families, people who plan to start a family soon, or even people who have certain religious beliefs, which is illegal in many parts of the world, including the US. It might seem like a harmless question if a young male is asking another young male "what are your life plans?" in an interview, but it seems a lot less harmless when the interviewee is a female of childbearing age. If an interviewer asked me "what are your life plans?" I'd assume the subtext was "are you planning on going on maturity leave soon?"

Also, what the hell sort of answer to this question would be a "good" answer and what would be a "bad" answer? Are you just looking to hire people with the same life plans as you???
These are entry-level positions, and frankly I wouldn't expect so much of someone who is a junior engineer. They should be able to do it with coaching, they may need you to remind them of things from time to time, but I wouldn't expect a junior to be capable of just doing 100% without any coaching.

I would expect them to try to figure out what you're looking for, and I would expect them to do some googling to figure out what that means. But I've met too many juniors who couldn't do what you're asking without some coaching, and they all did fine.

Frankly, software development is a team effort, and you have to work to build a team. I've worked for too many companies that expect their entry-level juniors to competently deliver without any coaching, and it just doesn't work. Maybe we're all having so much trouble hiring because we're expecting too much of people and giving them too little help?
This is simply untrue. Large advertisers are often the most demanding about ensuring that their ads reach the specific audience that they are targeting. Giant companies are the only ones who can afford to hire someone whose entire job is "drive engagement with millennials in the American Southwest" (and yes, I personally know someone whose first job was basically that). Small businesses are much less active in managing targeted ads beyond location, as their marketing is usually done in the spare time of the business owner.
> They allowed a third party candidate in a general debate

I was only eight years old at the time, but I remember watching that debate specifically because it was a big deal that he was on the stage. To eight-year-old me, that was history in the making.

Thinking back, I was a pretty weird kid. I also vividly remember pretending I was asleep until my grandparents went to bed, then sneaking back to the living room and turning on the TV to watch the news during the Operation Desert Storm (Jan 1991) and the Ruby Ridge standoff (March 1993). I was seven and nine years old for those events, respectively. We didn't even have cable, so I was flipping between infomercials on the three channels we got over the air and trying to catch reruns of the news.
Is there a way to design the http cache so that this is not true?

One way is for clients to first ask for the latest checksum/Etag from the server, and compare it to what they have locally before requesting the resource.

But maybe that's an extra round-trip. I wonder if a different design of HTTP could have avoided all this.
I like how it gives an option for margin size. It even allows 0 margin! One of the most annoying things about Google Play Books is that it puts pretty big margins to left and right and you have no control over them, so my phone's screen is wasted on a lot of empty space. Amazon Kindle is better because it provides a narrower margin option but I would prefer just 0 margin on my phone.

Also the app itself looks nice and native, good job.

I've never found that sticking strictly to the Law of Demeter makes your life that much easier for the reasons under "Disadvantages" in the article.

I prefer a more relaxed form of the law: you can do something like a.b().c(), where b is a method that returns an interface. I think of it as a "composite interface". You can repeat the nesting as much as you like, however it gets a little hard to read after a while.

Yes! For those not familiar with radio, HF (high frequency) is a frequency range that's higher than what's used for AM broadcast and lower than FM broadcast. Much lower than frequencies used in WiFi and cell phones.

What makes it interesting here is that it's a frequency range that is commonly-used and that also propagates in modes other than line-of-sight. For instance 'groundwave' propagation curves around the Earth because of induced currents in the Earth.

This allows HF communication over the horizon. Enthusiasts are regularly able to make contact between continents with amplifier power of less than 5 Watts.

> Extensions is the ONLY reason to use Firefox on Android.

Well, no. I don't want to use a browser that is developed by an advertising company, and I want to encourage the development of more than one web rendering engine. But yes, killing extensions would be a major regression in Firefox's usability.
People are also unreasonably squeamish toward unpleasant smells. Some things just don't smell great, and that's not actually a problem. It's life, move on.
This has nothing to do with that. In fact I am a "Mac user" driven to Windows solely because of this issue.

Aside from blurry PDFs, I also used to like font rendering in OS X and prefer it to Windows but unfortunately it also got screwed up with Mojave after they disabled subpixel rendering.
Very interesting and makes sense. I guess the heat is not too bad if you don’t have to move a lot. Is there a lot of action at night? I would probably set up some trail cameras.
Show HN: Bringli – Doodle for Things
I don't believe there is technology even on the horizon which would make this remotely feasible. The best of electric aircraft at the moment can fly for 90 minutes carrying two people; allegedly aimed at the flight training market. Except that gives it about enough endurance for a single lesson and it'd then need to be recharged for 3-4 hours before it could fly again. Compare this to a Rotax powered trainer which burns ~15 litres of fuel an hour and can be refuelled in 5 minutes.

There is also the option to scratch this itch if this is something that is itching you. :-)
I think the terminology is confusing people. There may be a ŋ + g, blended together. I guess you could call that "gg" in ASCII, but it's "gg" in the sense of "more than just a lone ŋ or g, or a long sound / mora not in the sense of "gig" or "ŋig"
All joking aside that's one of my filters for any hiring, and whether or not I'll work with someone. Someone who doesn't read, or hasn't read recently (tech, econ, whatever), I find is then missing all sorts of other things that make it a bad experience.

To me the writing has been on the wall ever since the community said "Hey these webextensions can't do nearly as many things as the old ones" and Mozilla's response to that was "Go fuck yourselves."

So now I have to do what I do on my desktop: Chromium for casual browsing and an old non-crippled version of Firefox for getting things done. Thankfully I only buy phones I can root and block ads system-wide.

From Firefox's dropping extension support to Windows' removal of granular update controls the tech industry's inexorable slide away from user control makes me want to cry tears of impotent rage.

What he ran into was the inevitable math of a first past the post electoral system.

You want third parties, you need ranked choice voting or something similar.

Even if you're fine with the main parties, RCV is probably better in terms of electing who most people want.

You could argue that Bush senior might have won with it if the Perot voters ranked 1) Perot 2) Bush. Bush junior might have lost had the Nader voters ranked Gore second. Similar question marks hang over the election of Trump with Jill Stein and Gary Johnson and the extremely thin margin of victory in the electoral college.
These are great points, and I'd take it even further and say the real goal of all education should be to get them to love learning.

The quantity of formal education 18 year olds receive is potentially dwarfed by the amount of stuff they can learn in their free time if they WANT to. On the flip side, if kids really hate participating in education, they pass out of the school system having learned astonishingly little.
I love exploring different fields that I really know little about. One of my favorite channels is NileRed (and alternative channel NileBlue) which is a chemistry channel that really acts like a proper science channel. NileBlue has recently been showing the clean-up process of projects featured on the main channel, which are just as interesting.

> is immediately repurposed by the State as a means of legitimizing its tyrannical overreach

Bureaucracies and people in power will, by nature, try to increase their power. That doesn't mean everything happens immediately. The purpose of checks is to increase the pool of people who must consent to an expansion of power. By setting up competing pools of power, the system can be made more resilient to a string of bad leaders.

Obviously, no system will survive an endless supply of idiots. But systems which rely on competent politicians tend to fail when the first dummy comes up.
Something about your comment makes me compare and contrast with the oddball outsider who did make it into the White House - the current occupant.

At the time there were many people who cursed Perot for splitting the two party vote, however he did get 18.9% and that is pretty incredible considering how entrenched attitudes were at the time for voting Democrat to make sure the Republican didn't win and vice-versa.

I have watched Perot's political adverts from the era and I thought he was a breath of fresh air. If I was American and of voting age at the time I like to think I would have voted for him and not succumbed to the peer pressure to vote Democrat.

Even the idea of a third party candidate was ahead of its time. Ralph Nader must have been informed by the success of Perot.
I think Wikipedia explains it well:

> John Taylor Gatto ... was an American author and school teacher who taught in the classroom for nearly 30 years. He devoted much of his energy to his teaching career, then, following his resignation, authored several books on modern education, criticizing its ideology, history, and consequences. He is best known for his books Dumbing Us Down: the Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling, and The Underground History of American Education: A Schoolteacher’s Intimate Investigation Into the Problem of Modern Schooling, which is sometimes considered to be his magnum opus.

I.e. he was a former public school teacher who criticized public education and advocated for alternatives.
Kinda goes both ways though. A lot of job descriptions aren't actually accurate about what the job entails, so why should a candidate take yours literally?

If you're being shady about your interview process, expect to only get people who can't afford to look elsewhere, while good candidates pass you up for potential employers who act respectfully towards the candidate's time.

In addition to that, while we know data was taken, it hasn't shown up in any of the customary haunts for stolen information. Someone got access, and squirreled away the data. Just some hacker looking to make some money from identity theft would be selling that left and right.

Try making a CMOS nor gate from natural materials in an afternoon, you won't get very far.

They’d allow a third party candidate now if they did as well. To qualify, a third party candidate need to poll at 15% or above and be on enough state ballots to have at least a possibility of winning. Nobody has even come close to that since Perot.
It’s unfortunate that so many design decisions are made with little regard for the true utility of what’s being designed, of which the touch bar has essentially zero.
