Mozilla seems to think so too: https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2019/06/27/reinventi...
Why? What's the cost of doing this? What's the benefit?
Well it's all about the culture. I live in Iran where a lot of people are still believe girls get raped because they don't have hijab or they're not completely dressed from top of the head to bottom of the toe.

It's about how people can tolerate and how modernism effected people. Opposite of what i said is also happening in Iran. There's a lot of people who use too much makeup or appear almost nude in cities to be a rebel against the regime.

What I'm saying is culture and people's acceptance matters a lot about these stuff.
Interesting to consider why they might have wound up at Cooper's on the Salmon River

instead of going farther up the Columbia. Might not have been a viable option!

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

"On the western edge at the Haida Gwaii ... the lower thickness of the ice sheet meant that sea levels were as much as 170 metres lower than they are today.... migrants ... were able to travel southward during the deglaciation process due purely to the exposure of submerged land between the mainland and numerous continental islands...."
Obviously a child is not able to decide what is appropriate on this issue. This isn't about choosing an ice cream flavour.

You should be long past asking about why, and should be asking why it didn't happen years ago.
We used to have four groups voting against management's worst ideas. We got rid of the DBAs, we got rid of QA. Now we're getting rid of Ops. And while that means that we have more power, it means we have a lot more responsibility, because it's just us against ignorance and bad management now.

And we all sit in a big room where we don't get time to consider our replies before giving them, which means if we make a rhetorical error it doesn't matter how valid our concerns are.

I really don't want to run my own company, but it's starting to feel more like I have to if I want anything like sanity.
If there are no graphs or formulas in the book, I prefer to use a text-to-speech engine. Over the years I've become able to listen to it on great speeds. It feels easier to comprehend spoken language.

The problem with this is that the web is competing with native apps.

Only for certain things. A lot of web browsing is still pure information-consumption. The "native apps" are also turning into effective webapps, thanks to Electron and the like.

Even this site, which is interactive, doesn't require JS to use (it provides some enhancements, but the site is still quite usable without.)
As far as I remember no Greek airlines (p.e. Aegean) have MAX-8s.
That link doesn't announce increased review times.

However, reviews have been taking days for a while now. Even changing the app store icon now requires days for approval.
Yep pretty much Solarized Dark and a reminder to me why I prefer a monokai derived theme.

For one thing, as mentioned in the article, not exposing hospital patients to a completely unnecessary risk of death due to incorrect dosage of medication?

When you're living inside a system, it seems perfectly normal to you, I get that. To me, when someone explains the American measurements system to me, here's what I hear:

> Mr. Zabladowski: If you must know, the currency here is a little strange. First of all, in the small money comes the drakmids. At the regular, normal rate of exchange, there are 59 drakmids to one silver zlobeck.

> Bart Collins: "Zlobeck"?

> Mr. Zabladowski: Three silver zlobecks make one golden kratchmuk. A pastoola normally is, uh, 44,000 kratchmuks. But these, they tell me, are not normal times...

Even though Google is 250 times or so bigger, the point is still valid. Where the hell money gets spent? That kind of revenues are huge for any software company, especially for a one that is just making a browser.
But Google's revenue isn't only generated by Chrome.

And even if it was, Mozilla shouldn't try to chase that revenue. It should generate only enough revenue to sustain and futher develop web technologies which allow people to stay free on the web.
The real problem is that it's bad for US exports. Outside the US, almost nobody has inch tools.

US defense, aviation, and automotive have been metric for decades now. Electronics still has some inch stuff in through-hole parts.

US construction, though, is still inch-oriented.

Home Depot stocks few metric fasteners. I had a conversation there with someone from a restaurant who was desperately trying to get the fasteners needed to fix some piece of metric equipment on a weekend.
Home Depot didn't even have basic metric screws.
Oi. I’m guessing the author is young and doesn’t know that much work was put into spatial UI in the 80s/90s and flopped for good reason: we might live in a 3D world, but that doesn’t mean computers should emulate that... the world doesn’t change dynamically in front of me like with a computer. Turns out that computers are hard and complicated, and simplifying their interaction works best.

That and most of these problems can be solved in other, better ways... for the actual parts that are worth answering (no one is asking who is everyone meeting with now, and tiny avatars don’t answer that any better than a simple list).
How does a company "cross the line" insofar as opting not to do business with someone? If they wronged you then THAT case is either worth persuing on its own merits or its not. If the company didn't by any means legally wrong you why can't they for no reason at all decide not to do business with you?

Every company has finite resources and must, in order to survive, decide where to allocate them. I'd rather spend my finite resources serving Bob is a valid answer to why did you opt not to serve Sam. I didn't like Sam's face is ALSO a valid answer.

If you never had a right to do business with a particular store how is it possible to describe the situation as unfair treatment? How does fair even enter into it?

Regulation is legal if no legal theories exist under which it would fall if challenged. Regulation is reasonable if on net its effect on the world is positive, reasonable to implement, and worth the cost of implementing.

You haven't asked or considered if your suggestion was legal. It's probably a violation of the business owners freedom of association. I am completely baffled that you imagine that requiring them to substitute a bureaucrats policy for their own judgment insofar as whom to do business with doesn't violate their rights. We have as a society agreed that forcing people to treat protected classes fairly is more important than the business owners freedom of association but it doesn't mean that right is nonexistent just that its less important than the rights of disabled people or minorities. It's hard to imagine how you believe that you believe that this same argument applies to assholes wanting to do business with people whom they have offended. If you have pissed off Verizon get yourself over to Sprint and this time don't scream at people over the phone.

You haven't even bothered to explain why you feel its reasonable to force people under penalty of law to do business with you. Your sole answer seems to be that because the government issues business licenses it could opt to revoke same. By this logic the fact that the government issues drivers licenses is sufficient justification for regulating what color you paint your car. This reasoning is entirely circular. Try again. Explain how the universe is a better place where people can make worse assholes of themselves than they already do and keep abusing the help whom can't ban the customer without risking fines. Please explain the injustices that will be avoided specifically by this expensive bureaucracy.
I don't know if you have noticed, but FP is not "new" anymore. Almost every programming language today either has some FP-flavored features or keeps adding them. And there are plenty of good reasons why many [smart] programmers think that OOP has failed.

Complex static type systems on the other hand - are kinda "new kid on the block". And if we are not careful that may become a "new OOP" - doctrine so complex and convoluted that could become an impediment in building software. I know, static type systems are cool and all but it's easy to get from something elegant and simple like Elm into say Haskell, Idris, Agda etc. and into the weeds of homotopy type theory.
wow that _is_ great!
It's 50 years, maybe a little more, since Britain required all education to be in SI units. That's two generations taught entirely metric. Weather has been in Celsius only for almost as long.

People still mostly refer to their height in feet & inches, buy a pint of beer, but petrol's in litres, they drive at 40 mph, and calculate mpg. When it's cold most people use Celsius, but when it's hot, people always remember Fahrenheit and it's 80s, 90s, etc. Never quite worked that one out. :)

It's going to take a bloody long while, whenever the switch starts, whether it includes road signage or not.

Mostly agree.

I can understand your view. With that said, I am quite happy they funded Rust and also gave a grant to the Godot project to develop their webassembly interface.

It has to stop taking 3 times as long to load Slack, or crashing/freezing when I'm using WebEx. Yes, the applications bear a lot of blame here, but they are the applications I am stuck with for business use.
I have had pain in my wrists and arms for a years now. After spending tens of thousands of dollars on physical therapy and massages I saw a comment in a post from a couple days ago about keeping your arms warm. I just bought these (https://www.rei.com/product/119280/pearl-izumi-elite-thermal...) today and OH MY GOODNESS the difference is immediately noticeable.
It's funny how much I find myself using it since I've switched full time to Firefox. Site has never been tested on wide monitors? font-size is tiny? Terrible color choices? Annoyed by the font? Don't like flashy sidebars next to the content? Reader mode has you covered.

Previously, when reading longer pieces, I'd go into dev tools and quickly kill the side bar, set a max width etc, but it's so convenient with reader mode.
Do you think that this review is free for the business or the citizens whose tax money is paying for this? Don't you think most cases will be a little more subjective. If the asshole in question hasn't made death threats yet do you have to wait until he assaults someone to stop serving him?
Interesting. At least Britain pushed for it for real and as you say, even with that it takes a long time. In US it's very lax. Government basically gave up finishing the job, so it's stalled.
I can't recall it ever crashing in the past year and I use it all day on multiple computers including nix, macos and windows.
Can they pay out every bad investment that someone in SF has made?
Here's the thing, I know exactly what rules I'd ordinarily need to follow in order to enter the United States. It's a mental checklist when coming from Canada:

1) am I carrying any contraband? Drugs, guns, undeclared currency or goods, etc.

2) Can I show that I can support myself during my stay? Do I have a return ticket? Enough cash?

Compared to these requirements these searches are completely opaque. If I'm asked to hand over my device I'm thinking:

1) How much is the agent going to access? Is s/he going to see an NSFW pic I emailed to the gf?

2) Are there any legitimate protections keeping them from logging into my social media accounts and going through my history?

3) Is there any recourse if they see me making a "420" joke ten years ago on Facebook and denying me entry?

There should be clear criteria admissibility that also serves to protect your privacy.
It tracks the Extended Support Release (ESR) branch of Firefox. That means it gets new features once a year and then only bugfixes after that. ESR 60 is last year's, work is probably ongoing to rebase IceCat on ESR 68 which came out last July.
If you look k at the HDI, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Human_D... , the middle countries are Jamaica, Tunisia, Tonga. Quick searches indicate water is safe to drink but possibly not vot tasty on these places.
REPL. homoiconicity makes "real" REPL possible. Anyone who hasn't tried Lisp would say: "a lot of other [non-lispy] languages have REPLs". But only after trying Lisp REPL you can truly experience why is it so special. It is extremely liberating to be able to evaluate any part of your [running] program, anytime, [almost] without any preceding ceremony. Even famous Jupyter Notebooks fall short in comparison.
This is interesting. From the article:

"Wynter’s veil had concealed not only her face but a wireless radio."

Isn't that pretty advanced for 1919? A wireless radio that fed her information through an earpiece?
Why do you think you deserve your day in court at someone else's business? If you invite someone to your house for a party if they happen to get drunk do you think you need to ought to be required to consult a tribunal of your friends so people can decide if you had a right to kick them out?
Just making a browser? It's the piece of software I'd least be willing to touch. Even Microsoft gave up and switched their core to Chromium.

Considering that, it's quite amazing that Mozilla is capable of not just making a browser, but also an email client, with a budget of 500 million.
Unfortunately for my application (which includes helping doctors create medical care plans) Firefox still does not support SpeechRecognition. This is despite Mozilla's DeepSpeech project on GitHub having had its first public commit in Nov 2016 (judging by its README file). As a result we don't have much choice but to recommend Chrome for the best experience.
Good mental health therapy is emotionally difficult, so you may be onto something. There is even some evidence that shows that self therapy can be effective (e.g., reading Feeling Good).

However, journaling as therapy is not very structured, and there is no compelling reason to continue when the going gets though. I wouldn't recommend it just yet instead of seeing a real, capable therapist.

This only relates to cyclist/vehicle strikes and not to solo accident due to handling, road conditions, weather etc.

Additionally (without having checked any statistics) i believe most vehicle strikes where i live are due to the driver not seeing the cyclist at all, because they do not orientate properly on right turns or the cyclist is riding too aggressively.
I agree. Don't know why youre getting downvoted. If ShitCo can get away with poor customer service because of regulation or licensing protecting them from competition, then ShitCo shouldn't get to decide the line for "pain in the ass".
Please don't try to compare Clojure REPL (or any Lisp REPL) with jupyter notebooks or something similar. The latter are mere "interactive environments" compared to "real" Lisp REPL. You have to actually try Clojure REPL and see what makes it so special.
City created a monopoly. When they decided to cancel the monopoly or no longer enforce it, this should be a part of any such decision.

For me, I have found Firefox to drain my laptop's battery more (Macbook Pro, 2017) compared to Chrome (and Safari). Once it changes, I would gladly go back to using Firefox.
> This raises some questions: why is Firefox usage going down, and what does Mozilla need to do to bring it back up?

> How does an average user get started with Firefox?

This misses the elephant in the room : the main reason Chrome is eating other browsers is that Google is putting its advertising might behind it. You know that little "want a better browser" pop-up displayed on Google's search engine? That's an absolute killer for other browsers.
Show HN: RepoRangler is A Dockerised, microservice based package manager
So I'm having a go at making a satis compatible package manager. It's called "Repo Rangler" and its supposed to be a dockerised, modular, service orientated.

You can take a look: https://reporangler.com

Right now the PHP service is the focus and I'm fleshing out the auth service and metadata service. I suppose I should be ready today with a fully functional satis replacement.

Then I will move onto NPM! Who likes this idea? It's not perfect and I'm sure people will find bugs or problems. Please point them out and if you like it. Star it on Github and create some issues if you're so inclined!
Agreed that the split keyboard doesn't really make a difference for RSI. It helped my shoulders far more than my hands/wrists. That said, the extra angling that many split keyboards give you is pretty nice, even if it's not the split itself that helps.
I'd guess the scoring was not linear with number of rentals, because wear isn't. E.g. 2 long rentals will generate more wear than 2 short rentals; probably even more than 3, depending on how much wear is caused by shipping & handling.

I wonder why not derive the score from human input? I assume someone is handling returns; that someone could be trained to eyeball the condition of the item and input that into a database.
Thanks for this. Looks perfect for my needs. I've got to analyse a hideous generated CSV file with thousands of columns. I was planning to load it into SQLite3 but it has too many columns for import. I was also unpleasantly surprised to find that the column names were too long for PostegresQL too. Python + pandas can handle it, but a tool for quick interactive exploration is just what I need. Hopefully visidata will provide!
... to vote for whom? There are already lots of young people organizing and wanting to vote, although their preferences might not necessarily align with the generation above them. Populist movements (both the far-left and far-right) are taking over Western countries at the moment (as a reaction to the dire economic circumstances of the current generation), but the traditional political parties (mid-left/mid-right, but especially the mid-left) and the old media conglomerates are actively trying to suppress that.
As a child, I traveled a lot (international) with my parents. I had a log book (available for children from many airlines) that was signed by the Captain or First Officer on the flight deck of each flight. I don't recall a visit to the flight deck ever being refused, except on an extremely short flight.

The world has changed much since those days, generally not for the better.
I was just thinking of how best to do journaling in an encrypted way and figured pass might work, but then I realised it probably isn't easy to search across notes. Have you found a way to do that that doesn't involve just dumping everything to intermediate plaintext?
All radio is wireless :)

Radio was invented in the second half of the 19th century, so pretty mature by then. I guess a sufficiently miniaturized earpiece does sound impressive for the time, but it seems likely the radio itself would be too bulky and was likely hidden somewhere in her clothes.
They'd better get their act together.

I bet a sizable fraction of their mobile user base only went with Firefox for addon support.

I'd (grudgingly) move to one of the Chromium-derived alternatives that still give me uBlock and uMatrix.
And physically[0], Jake Paul is not a child, further debunking the post I was replying to initially.

[0]: I'm sure there's a ton of controversy because this is the internet and that's what you people do for a living, so I'm sure I'll get some posts claiming he's as mature as a 5 year old or whatever. But Google says born in 1997, which I'm sorry to tell you means he's not a child.
This could be a little off topic here. I would like to contribute to Firefox but I have no idea where to start with. I dabble with C and x86 assembly. Can anyone suggest where I should get started?

I have barely contributed to any open source projects except for a few minor bug fixes.
Sounds very similar to Robert Kennedy Jr.'s intense political anti-vax campaign. He's widely criticized in the media for it (same as Arthur Conan Doyle) but believes he's doing the right thing and will be proved right in the end, just like Doyle.

Doyle:

>"It is time which will prove our cause," he wrote. "Time will also prove to those who have misrepresented us that they are playing with fire. They are not judging the Unseen. The Unseen is judging them."

Kennedy:

> “One thing that keeps me buoyant about this, because otherwise, I’d be depressed,” he said. “I know I’m gonna win this one. I have the ability to push this over the finish line. I know I do. The truth will prevail.”

Duckduckgo is fine for like 80-85% of searches I do, but there are areas where Google is unbeatable (unbeaten?) yet

And maybe even some not so recent standards. Chrome has an extremely novel feature:

I can use my media keys...

...to control the playback of my media.

Why didn't anyone think of that before? :)
I disagree. It's the matter of familiarity. Clojure is extremely productive and the best PL I have tried (out of many) to quickly build prototypes.

Whenever I have a requirement to solve a problem in a different language (e.g. interview challenge, etc.) I would still do it first in Clojure and then convert it to whatever language is required. Yes, I have to do the same work twice, but even then - I am still faster doing it that way.
that is a very astute observation of the man's character and tendencies
> The whole point of Mozilla is supposed to be Firefox and Thunderbird

And the whole point of Google is search? I think it makes sense that Mozilla would expand into more than just Firefox and Thunderbird. They’re a software foundation so limit themselves to a browser or mail client? I like the fact that they’ve becomes champions of privacy and internet safety.

Agreed though. What they’re doing is technically hard but you would expect Mozilla to do more.
