RE: 11.3 Browser tab management

No manual, rule-based tab management ever worked for me, which is why I took over development for Tab Wrangler a while back and have been continuing to update it. Garbage collection for old tabs without me having to intervene.

This has been the best system for me, and it has worked well for years. Old tabs are automatically cleaned up when I haven't looked at them in a while.

It's all open source: https://github.com/tabwrangler/tabwrangler
Wouldn’t a stylus/tablet interface provide the same benefits of a pen and paper solution for that requirement (well, you could wipe down the stylus, maybe chucking it is extreme)?
Cool, so you're arguing for QoS. Thanks for supporting my argument.

I was going to submit this earlier today, but I thought "nah, nobody else on HN is going to be old enough to remember Encarta" :)

I remember when our family first got Encarta, and I spent hour after hour reading and marvelling about how all this information could be so easily accessible! I think we had a 14k dial-up Internet connection at the time, and the web was barely getting started - I really had no idea how things would turn out!

I buy most of my books on ebay from the seller "thrift.books", and some other goodwill ebay/physical stores. They're used, and generally around $3.00/free shipping. Some Goodwill stores have every book priced at $1.00, and have nearly everything you'd want. I'd never buy a new book again, especially from Amazon.
Agreed! Something like this could be really useful in accelerating today's networks, and the AI word just gets in the way.

>Why can't native dropdowns have an integrated search?

At least in Firefox, the normal <select> combobox does search by prefix matching the values of <option> tags as you type.

However it's pretty hard -nigh impossible?- to make a good globally generic search widget. Different datasets warrant widely differing matching rules (prefix matching vs. any place matching vs. any word matching; OR search vs AND search; case sensitivity; i18n concerns; non-alphanumeric characters).
If you don't use 95% of the language, can you really consider yourself to be using it? Sounds like you're basically using C with some wrappers.

I've had something similar happen, VirtualBox has measures to try to detect if it's been hijacked, by malicious software or AV (although the distinction could be argued).
The accessible woods are often private property, though, at least on the east coast. BLM and other state/federal lands are fantastic, and they're certainly plentiful out west. But lots of that land demands serious hiking or backpacking, and even the land that's easy to walk into isn't generally accessible without driving. It's not an option for inviting a friend over after school to explore the woods.

The land that is accessible by foot or bike is much more likely to be privately owned. And when it is public space, it's often a town or state park - which is quite likely to come with enough curfews, enforced bans on unaccompanied minors, and other child-unfriendliness that it's functionally private.
I'm torn between its use.

In a way, the Nazi acquired this information in an unethical manner, so using it is unethical.

But in another way, the information acquired, even if it was done unethically. It can save lives or increase our understanding of our biology, and not using it would make all the people who suffered and/or died for it to be in vain. We also cannot undo the past.

Who shouldn't forget all the atrocities the Nazi did at the risk of repeating history, but we shouldn't put aside any findings that can be used for the benefit of everyone else.
(Of course, this is Tokio-specific)

Cooperative scheduling is used to schedule tasks on executors. A single executor is expected to manage many tasks across a small set of threads. There will be a far greater number of tasks than threads. There also is no pre-emption. This means that when a task is scheduled to execute, it blocks the current thread until the poll function returns.

Because of this, it is important for implementations of poll to only execute for very short periods of time. For I/O bound applications, this usually happens automatically. However, if a task must run a longer computation, it should defer work to a blocking pool [1] or break up the computation into smaller chunks and yield back to the executor after each chunk. [2]

"poll" here refers to the callback function in the future that actually does the work.

> C Corps that have signed the letter are still required to maximize shareholder value, or they will face legal action

No corporation is required to "maximize shareholder value". In fact, they cannot be because there is no possible legal standard for what constitutes "maximizing value".

B Corporations have no special legal standing. It's just a certification created by a group that tries to push corporations towards responsibility (or, more cynically, provides virtue-signalling-as-a-service). Any corporation can adopt any or all of the principles set out for B Corporations, if the changes to their charter and by-laws are approved. It is the existence of such requirements in the corporate governance documents that provides the legal requirement, not a private certification.
The C++FQA is not a terribly good resource. It's centered around a point-by-point rebuttal of a FAQ resource that's kind of outdated and of questionable quality to begin with. Modern C++ revisions (starting with C++11) have gone a long way to cleaning up warts in C++ and fixing issues, and remains pretty unaddressed in the FQA, which is essentially unchanged from ~2009. As one concrete example, people complaining about C++ ABI incompatibility are complaining about something that hasn't been a problem for at least 15 years.

Spending to satisfy your own desires directly benefits the buyer and the seller—that's the part people tend to focus on when discussing the "trickle down" effect—but what doesn't get spent on consumption ends up invested instead. That improves the productivity of labor, allows more goods to be produced at lower cost, and ultimately benefits everyone. Trade is good, but the greatest external benefit to society comes when one consumes less than one earns, thus leaving more for others. Even just stuffing the money in a mattress would benefit others by reducing the competition for goods and services; it's not as good as a profitable investment, but it's better than wasting resources on malinvestment.

I didn't know who Business Roundtable was.

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

They're a group of CEOs that has lobbied against union protections, against antitrust legislation, and against increased powers for shareholders over CEOs and boards. So this seems like a bit of a departure from their usual policy, unless the real goal is to transfer power from shareholders not to the general public but to the CEOs and boards.
Right but it's not going to punish consumers equally. It will hurt the poor a lot more than the rich imho. Essentially a regressive tax moving the burden for the climate change problem to the poor.
Cogent (Netflix's ISP) and Comcast had a peering agreement which spelled out costs and ratios; Cogent sold Netflix bandwidth (probably very cheaply) that they could not provide without breaching their peering agreement. Cogent was unwilling to fulfill the financial terms of their peering agreement in order to provide the product that they had sold to Netflix. Somehow, people think this is Comcast's fault?

Has this actually happened? You need a few more ingredients in the chain before you get meth out the other end...I would hope a jury would know this.
Peering ratio requirements are kind of a scapegoat. Especially in the case of an 'eyeball' network like Comcast. I have 250Mb down, and 10mb up. (I would love 50Mb up, I push a ton of docker images daily). Their circuits they sell their clients will only re-enforce those ratios.. (then again, if netflix was to partner with a bunch of backup providers, like Mozy, crashplan, backblaze, etc, to carry their backup traffic, that could get VERY interesting)

I read that SoftBank structured their investment in some way that they made money on the IPO even though the price was below what they bought in at.

It didn't really make any sense to me, but I wanted to ask here:

Is there any truth to that? And if so how did it work?
When Gnutella file sharing first became popular, I noticed that if I searched for .txt files I could find popular books of the day. Sometimes I would download them and do a find and replace operation to change the names of characters, sometimes to my own name or of other people, just to be silly. I think I did this with all the Harry Potter books. I also recall creating a heavily modified version of Fight Club which had a happy ending.
This isn't really what the article is about, but it does show that some edits may well be intentional. None of the works I modified, as far as I recall were in the public domain at the time.
Amiga at least, older computers were more responsive because they did less - directly attached video and keyboard hardware, no USB, no compositing video drivers, less font smoothing, and so on.

See Dan Luu's analysis here: https://danluu.com/input-lag/

and here https://danluu.com/keyboard-latency/

> Moreover, a modern computer with one of the slower keyboards attached can’t possibly be as responsive as a quick machine from the 70s or 80s because the keyboard alone is slower than the entire response pipeline of some older computers.

Haiku (BeOS) was always promoted on its native multithreading and responsive UI, with early demonstrations showing windows being dragged around while playing video, IIRC, it's impressive that it still holds to that.

But it also says a bit about what software people pay for and keep using - if sluggish Windows software has thrived, and BeOS crashed and burned. And then on Windows and Linux, light fast software gives way to bloaty huge sluggish software left and right.

I see these kinds of comments very often ("Ackchyually, feature X of C++ has been discouraged for at least Y years now and if you still use it, you are doomed").

I used to learn C++ at the university (~5 years ago) and have read multiple books on that, however, I would have no idea how to start using the language again and how to figure out which patterns are OK and which ones are discouraged and what should I use instead. All "modern C++" books I found are 10+ years old.

There seem to be so many opinions out there on forums, but I don't see a comprehensive, community-approved place (book or website) where I can learn and understand the differences between the many ways of doing the same thing.

They'll aim to catch the logic failures and memory failures during wafer test at the factory. This testing is done at room temperature and at hot. There are margins built in to allow for ageing. If they want to ship a decent product they'll also need to repeat the memory testing every boot, and ideally during runtime but maybe the latter isn't a big deal for something like this.

EDIT: to add a bit more and possibly address the original question (which I think keveman may have misunderstood), there will usually be some hardware dedicated to controlling the chip's redundancy. Part of that is often a OTP fuse-type thing that can be programmed during wafer test to indicate parts of the chip that don't work. Something (software or hardware) will read that during boot and not use those parts of the chip.
> The catalyst of Portugal forest fires is the extense eucalyptus plantations.

That's at best baseless speculation, and one that doesn't stand to any objective scrutiny. The truth of the fact is that there was no forest fire prevention policy until the deadly Pedrógão Grande fire that left well over 60 dead, and even then the main cause was widespread abandonment of public and private property, where even municipalities failed to comply with the minimum legal obligations of clearing up their property and roadsides.
C# and .net core sounds like a good solution to your rather vague problem. What are you trying to do?

You can make apps with complicated, animated UIs that respond in 16ms just fine with the hardware of an iPhone 4, which is way past the era of CRTs and direct keyboard polling. We know this because we made those apps 7 years ago.

Show HN: Buy Real Estate with One Click
Founder of AlphaCap.ai here, we built a simple tool that allows anyone to buy real estate and immediately start receiving monthly rental income.

We encountered a problem in the form of an endless wall of paperwork when trying to buy real estate for investment purposes. Real estate industry is still pretty outdated, there are still real estate agents who charge 3% to represent the seller and another 3% to represent the buyer, there are technology platforms like Redfin that are trying to tackle that particular challenge by charging 1% and hiring a salaried employee to represent the buyer/seller. However, buying a percentage ownership in a property still remains a difficult problem. We strive to build a platform to connect interested buyers/investors with each other to raise enough capital to purchase a property together. This way if a property is a great investment, but you don't have enough money to cover the full purchase price you can use our platform to buy a percentage of that property and allow others to invest in the remaining equity. You will then receive your share of the rental income + appreciation on your equity ownership over time.

I want to thank everyone in advance for providing feedback and looking forward to hearing your thoughts and any concerns.

There are far more transistors in this chip than neurons in the human brain. In 100 of these chips, there are more transistors than there are synapses in the human brain.

I don't mean to suggest that transistors are equivalent to neurons or synapses; clearly they are very different things (though it is not clear that neurons are much more computationally powerful than transistors, despite assertions from many people that this is the case). But I think it is still useful to compare the complexity of structure of chips vs. the human brain. We are finally approaching the same order of magnitude of complexity in structure.

Also note that this is not manufactured on TSMC's highest density process. Assuming TSMC's 3nm process development is successful, that will probably be 6x denser than the 16nm process used here.

<digresssion on the above mentioned ship (Vasa)>

Incidentally, I happened to spend a few hours at the Vasa Museum in Stockholm earlier this year.

It's a glorious 17th-century wooden ship. In 1628, it sank like a stone, after travelling just one KM on its maiden journey in Stockholm waters; 30 out of the 145 people died. And Vasa stayed under water for 333 years. Then it was recovered in 1961—the only (?) 17th century ship to be preserved. Its ongoing preservation itself a singularly unique scientific project.

It's a spectacular ship, with hundreds of impressive wooden sculptures, carvings and other abilities (displaying the might of the king). 95% of the ship is in remarkably original condition—because, luckily for the ship, the Baltic Sea is not conducive to shipworms.

If you are around the area, definitely take the time visit it. (The small city island where it's located, Djurgården, also has other serene places.)

We lost our cat to cancer this year. She was everything to my SO. The cat and I got my SO through grad school and really helped out my SO with a pain disorder that my SO has been battling. We had her euthanized at home as well and I was lucky enough to be the one that plunged the vial into her, relieving her of the pain. She was my cat afterall, just as I was her human. Then we wrapped her in her favorite blanket and the specalist took her away. We got the ashes a while later. I still can't bear to open the bag that they sit in.

It was ... tough. It is tough still. She is everywhere and I still look for her when something perks just outside of my sight. I still think she's just in another room. But she is not. The cancer took her away from us.

I think Amazon would have benefited from better UI for particular parts of their platform and achieved better growth.

They're great for point of sale, terrible for product discovery as a direct result of the UI. That's fine for most products where you can research what you want to buy then purchase on Amazon anyway (because free 1/2-day shipping), but it means services like Prime Video are terrible to use compared to Hulu/Netflix.

Which is a shame, since I think their originals and content library is really solid. It's just impossible for you to discover it without a huge ad campaign.
