I haven't really met anyone who is particularly bothered by these issues. They certainly should be addressed to some degree, but the issues I find people are bothered about in Firefox are something that Mozilla has very little control over: Bugs in sites.

As a full-time firefox user, I commonly find that sites have bugs, and when I boot it up in Chrome just to check my hunch, they don't manifest. It's pretty easy to figure out what happened: The developer wrote his code, tested it on chrome alone, and then called it a day. No one booted it up in another browser and even smoke-tested to see if basic use-cases work as intended.

If developers are genuinely concerned with browser diversity and not handing the Web over to Google and whatever they deem to be the next IE6, it starts with having a test plan for other browsers. Testing on only one platform is tantamount to having official support for one platform because you only guarantee your product to work on that platform in so many words. Officially supporting one platform is pressuring your users into a vendor-lock.

They - even the tech savvy ones - can't even begin to make vendor choices when the products they use accidentally lock them out left and right.
Skeuomorphism can be horrible. Just give a glance at what Microsoft attempted a couple of years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5teG6ou8mWU

Why should we have to emulate real world interactions, the whole idea of computing is to make tasks easier, less of a cognitive burden, not replicate them in a virtual world. Sure there are specific kinds of software that are in need of a more humane approach but I'm not sure skeuomorphism is the answer.
Have you actually tried the dev tools in the last year? I can only use chrome for web socket support and that’s coming to ff dev tools sooooon.
I think it was a book called "The Hot Zone" that talked about ebola and similar diseases. It also said the village elders in rural Africa stopped the spread, not the well-educated, monied foreigners from more developed countries.

They barricaded the roads and only let locals come in.

They told their people "Don't go to the white man's hospital." because you would go to the hospital for a fixable problem, like a broken leg, and die of ebola contracted at the hospital.

They quarantined the sick. You couldn't leave your hut. They would leave food on your doorstep to provide care. If three days food accumulated, they burned the hut down without verifying if you were dead or alive.

Antibiotic resistant infections and the like are partly a product of our modern mentality that tech can fix anything. Often, it can't. Old fashioned procedures still have their uses and we don't rely upon them enough.
On a provincial level, the NDP socialist political party has had success getting voted in. Recently they are usually not re-elected in after messing everything up, but socialism in Canada has strong roots: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism_in_Canada.
Two things has me almost dropping firefox and going over to chrome:

- It still doesn't remember my credit card details, and is generally worse at filling out forms.

- On mobile, I regularly experience that the cookie jar gets broken somehow and all my logins are broken which will work again by closing the browser down and starting it again.

The only think keeping me on Fx is a sense of ethics, the same reason I don't eat meat even though I love it.

Hm interesting, I hadn't seen tsvx. Where is it being used? Are you part of its development?

FWIW I have my own TSV enhancement that is more modest:

https://github.com/oilshell/oil/wiki/TSV2-Proposal

I hope to find time to prototype it in https://www.oilshell.org/ first. Although it's very simple -- about as simple as JSON -- I think it needs some real world use first to prove it.

I think adding metadata is orthogonal to cleaning up the problems with TSV, e.g. that you can't represent strings with tabs (or newlines) in fields. Also I wouldn't want a TSV enhancement to depend on YAML, as it's quite a big and confusing (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17359376)
It does these things with the smaller countries it bullies. Take the Iranian oil freighter in the Mediterranean sea.

True - the great thing is that we have been optimizing for this type of interface for the last decade. I.e., due to the benefits of making writes sequential (both for HDDs and SSDs)

We, the industry, have just been missing the interface to actually perfectly align our workloads to the media that we store the data on. The zone interface bridges this gab.
They provide no sources for historical consumption. It looks fictional to me. I know there is a lot of fruit wines traditionally in lithuania, for example, but we have been lumped into the "vodka belt"...

This is wrong. CUE has optional closed schemas marked by a double colon. The V3 entity you’re talking about is explicitly declared to be a closed definition and therefore disallows unknown fields in entities that claim to accord to the V3 type. Not all definitions are closed.

Even for those that you choose to close, it’s a matter of having different code for different definitions. The claim that it just automatically breaks isn’t true even when closed definitions are used.

BTW, this feature speaks to CUE’s intended purpose as a configuration language. It is (or at least can be) nice to ignore unknown fields in transmitted payloads for forwards and backwards compatibility. But if I’m trying to configure some software and misspell a field, I probably want the configuration file to fail validation, not have the software run with an unintended configuration.
I think that most free to play games where the priced items are only cosmetics don't try to addict you to buying. Competitive games can never put any pay to win aspect in their pricing model - League of legends, CS GO, Dota, Overwatch.

Weirdly though competitive games in the end do make you buy somehow. Those games are ridiculously addictive to the gameplay itself and somehow they have huge player bases that stick for a long time. From my entire high school 2 years ago - 50% of the boys were addicted to playing some of the top free to play titles. When you put down thousands of hours in a game spending cash on it becomes very normal.
95% of my books come from the Denver Public Library new book shelf. They have an excellent selection. I reserve items from them I read in online book reveals and see at the bookstore. I probably read several $1000s of books this way.

I've smoked heavily since 12 years old. I function, and it's helped me with arthritis and PTSD at this point. Sometimes addressing problems with common drugs helps. It definitely changes amygdala response and cerebral blood flow patterns. I think it in general makes people question things, and be better people. I also know it affects motivation, which can be great to quell response to pain, but is detrimental to getting up and out.

Much of it is also habits, related or not. If you aren't taking vitamins, exercising, eating well and isolated from people and things that are detrimental you're obviously not going to have things go smoothly. My family are monsters.
It's helped me through it. Or if you're handicapped by mental issues or the like.

I don't buy the psychosis thing, except maybe from edibles. And I absolutely hate to see people stating that it "makes them creative" or other repeated things that they've read or heard somewhere. Oversimplification and lack of education about it is common. Some people just don't handle it well, or are nudged into craziness. Too many people I know didn't read up on what they were getting into with cannabis and psychedelics and want to be into it to be cool, or fit in. I used to smoke to get high. Now I smoke for pain relief.

I'm 38 too.
German companies are huge in industrial automation and manufacturing tech. It's not just Siemens, there are lots and lots of companies you have never heard of that are having a significant share of their market niche (or are outright market leaders), precisely because of their innovative products.

Where Europe has fallen far behind is advertising/tracking "innovation".
Even Clang would greatly benefit from an intermediate IR between the C/C++ AST and LLVM IR; the presentation you linked starts off by going over that (and I can confirm that it’s still a problem). That doesn’t mean that LLVM or its IR is bad, or that C or C++ are not suited to being compiled to it. It just means that some analyses and optimizations are best done at a higher level.

FF used to remember and autofill CC information, but about 10 years ago they removed it for security reasons. But this blog post from last 2017 says they were adding the option to securely store and autofill CC information:

However, the feature is still not available, probably because of nagging security worries. Apparently it can be enabled in a nightly build if you edit a config: option:

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the source for the "historic" map, which to my eyes is entirely fictional and full of prejudice. In Lithuania, we historically have a culture of fruit (and berry) wines, but have been lumped into the "vodka belt".
The “kids” are typically devops engineers with 5-7 years of experience. They get called kids by sys-admins because they prefer postgre to oracle, and Linux to windows. Because they don’t have the same 30 years of experience doing roughly the same thing in the same org.

Of cause there are systems-admins who adopt and are now working half of a devops workflow, but they seem to end up either becoming devops engineers or finding a new job where they are back to being Kings of a closed domain that developers only interact with though emails and audiences.

The problem is that you can't have open-source chips without an open-source ISA. Without an open-source ISA we can't have a open-hardware movement for silicon.

Yes, the internal design is the important part, and having an ISA that is designed properly, will make that a lot easier and we have seen both high and low performance chips that can compete with ARM speeds while having far less development time.

RISC-V is designed to allow individual companies to add their own secret sauce and to have a tool-chain that makes that easy.

We should remember that RISC-V is still incredible young, it only just escaped officially from university 3 years ago.
But the new Firefox for Android will not support extensions.
It makes sense that they’d provide the length because they wouldn’t want it split in two by ads when shown on TV.
I use Firefox on Android and prefer it a thousand times over Chorme (because ublock), but it's definitely not bug free.

In particular, at least a couple of times a week Firefox will stop loading pages on all tabs, like if the connection was abismally slow. Killing and restarting the app fixes the problem.
Sounds like an exercise in pedagogy.. a billion full spectrum users exercise.

I agreed that chrome won me because it was at extreme lean points.

- binary setup to download was 600kB, a smart trick
- UI .. was naked and to the point, yet it did show some stuff if you needed it (the tiny status bar that would pop right or left depending on context)

Personally, Firefox only issue is UI lag. Chrome is still ahead and it matters. But not for the average (non millenial) user.

Most people today, sadly, are on internet because they have to[0]. Taxes, utilities.. every service is now on internet, and these people are mostly urged to be able to be able to interact with these in the simplest manners.

The browser is just one more hurdle between them and these.

They are clearly not traditional belts. To my eye they are entirely fictional. There are no sources. Lithuania wouldn't be considered a producer of vodka historically. The "large commercial production" of vodka they mention as a factor is only 100 years old in Lithuania. Historically lithuanians would produce drink fruit and berry wines - generally from their own produce.

Knowing exactly how many tabs are open doesn't make it easier to close tabs.

Also it wasn't exactly done as a joke, the number used to overflow onto a second line and not be readable.

Things I Don’t Get Notifications For
Seems like a simple tool that takes data files and tells about outliers. Why does it have to be used with a web browser? If one runs it locally, it probably should primarily have a command line interface.
If developers are genuinely concerned with browser diversity and not handing the Web over to Google and whatever they deem to be the next IE6, it starts with having a test plan for other browsers.

I'd say it starts with dialing back the "new feature/change fetish" that a lot of web developers have. Yes, I know some things simply can't be done without a JS webapp, but not all and probably not even a majority, so if HTML and CSS will do the job fine, then so be it; and even if it needs to use JS, it likely doesn't need to be latest-browser-only JS either.

The constant "X is bad, use Y; no, Y is bad, use Z; no, Z is bad, use..." churn and that "push the web forward" trendchasing seems to be so entrenched in "modern" (there's another buzzword) web dev culture that I wonder if Google/Chrome is responsible for cultivating and propagating it, because it's not quite as endemic in other areas of software and also helps Chrome keep its monopoly, since it keeps the target moving and beckons at others to "catch up".

I think web developers need to adopt a more "do what you can with what you have"/demoscene-ish (for lack of a better term) attitude and not the silly "I could do it with just X, but I'll use Y because it's newer/better-but-I-can't-explain-why-and-everyone-else-is" that really just assists Google's monopoly. In other words: Writing a webapp that could work over 20 years of browsers may not be as hard as it sounds (I've done it --- and I'm not even a web developer --- which might be the reason why...), and you will definitely help browser diversity that way.
Is C++ -> C interop your only reason for avoiding C++? If it is then you might reconsider C++, because calling C code from C++ is usually as easy as wrapping the #include in an extern "C" block.

I'm a Firefox user. But recently, thinking about switching to Chrome. It's because some website don't work as they are supposed to on Firefox (Ex. Google analytics, Codesandbox etc.). And as the number of add-ons increases, the animations and transitions get increasingly janky and slow.

In Firefox mobile it's worse – complex (but sometimes simple) animations stutter. I have tested it using some other 4 or 5 popular ones available, including Chrome – they all produced smooth results. So, Firefox is below average in terms of animation performance. I hope they improve it.
YouTube kids has issues, no doubt.

But I'm happy to see this post and their attempt to improve things in the Play Store. I think there are people at Google that want to do the right thing. Hope they can do so against motivation to blindly increase "engagement", clicks, users, monetization.

I watched the ElixirConf 2019 keynote [1] as soon as it came up. While I was left excited about Lumen in general, I wasn't entirely sure what kinds of things Lumen would be most useful for.

Being able to ship a single binary (like with Go or Rust) sounds handy, but shipping a tarball hasn't been that much of a challenge either. Being able to run BEAM code in the browser also sounds handy, but due to size issues I probably wouldn't want to ship the entire BEAM to my users either, right?

Can someone with a more thorough understanding of Lumen share some thoughts on this?

In the early 90s my dad was trying to explain word processing to a young me. We had DOS on a 386 with Microsoft Works. He told me you could keep a journal. I started writing in all caps about my family and pets and school.

Maybe I should write more. Glad to hear from this post that I'm not the only one who likes it.

Documentation serves two purposes: for the public to review them so that they know how they and their fellow citiznes might be treated. And also, for any regulatory body to review their practices.

Just keep at it! When I first moved to Japan, I couldn't have a good conversation with anyone. I eventually met a young woman with Downes syndrome and she kindly chatted with me every time she met me. It was such a huge help! There was an older woman who would see me gardening in containers and come over to give me advice. I couldn't follow what she was saying at all, but she kept coming over and chatting anyway. I kept going in to corner stores and chatting with the staff -- nothing too long. Just a few sentences each time. I went every single day (even now, I know all the staff of every convenience store in town!) Eventually your language gets better and better and better. There is always someone who is lonely, or kind who you can chat to :-) Just keep smiling. Keep making contact. Say hello to everyone you meet. Every day try to have a short conversation with someone. You'll eventually find people who will be happy to chat with you in Spanish.

regarding "dimension" it's used in this sense of dimension of a simplex:

> Following the conventions in algebraic topology, we refer to directed cliques of n neurons as directed simplices of dimension n-1 (which reflects their natural geometric representation as (n-1)-dimensional polyhedra) (see Figure S2; Section 4.1.3). Correspondingly, their sub-cliques are called sub-simplices.
