Most users still don't care about their browser.

The main reason Chrome became so dominant is because:

* Google search results nagged all users to install it for a better experience

* bundled Chrome with countless free software downloads

* it is the default browser on Android
Yea fuck RMS on that comment alone. I didn’t realize it was that bad. Fuck him repeatedly.

Yikes.

I’m 100% in support of all gender identities, sexual orientations, races, etc., and I’ll fight for everyone’s rights and well-being, but this is insanity.

It’s one thing restrict offensive language but it’s a whole different beast to mandate specific language.

Nope. Nope. Nope. I’m not doing it.

Sorry not sorry.

On the other hand we do let the worst human drivers (that don't immediately kill someone in the first hour of driving) onto roads too. The same low bar should be applied to autonomous cars as they are still scaling up. The bar should be raised as their percentage of the overall fleet increases. This treats them as a collective of junior drivers that we expect to improve with time.
It might sound naive, but look back into the mid 20th century and companies were much more inclined to consider the overall. Including welfare of the workers, the community, the quality of product or service offered etc rather than a blinkered focus on shareholder value.

There have been a few interesting pieces in the FT that make something of a mockery of the benefits of focus on shareholder value. Finding that it is usually of short term benefit, but longer-term detriment to the company, and ultimately shareholders.
Exactly. It doesn’t improve anything other than sun setting old tech that is no longer viable to support.
Oh, absolutely - I'm not arguing in favour of browser monopolies. I'm saying that browser standards aren't a popularity contest. You can have the most popular browser in the world but still not be able to strongarm your way into compliance. Remember attachEvent?
Yeahp I wish they could decouple from it.

What we really need is an alternative to the official Chrome Web Store.
Well I´ve worked in the private sector most of my life, and I have observed it to be well staffed with human beings.

And human beings, in my experience, can be lazy, venal, honourable or hardworking, in both the private and the government sector. But the last time I checked, the private sector only cared about the people with money, whereas the government is required to care about everybody.
I felt this way about some of my early “generic” x86 systems and threw them out. Now I feel like an idiot because I’d love to fire up my old 486 again.
Thank goodness.
Browsers are for browing the internet.
File Managers are used for opening files.
I lock down SeaMonkeys JS.

Personally I like SeaMonkey as it is community build Mozilla.
Many of the "features" have settings in preferences.

It seems to me that the Mozilla Foundation is pushing the project in some weird spots(DoH) and while not ad revenue based, they do take money from companies.

Notice the Search Provides list?
Who uses Ebay as their primary search provides?
Heck who wants to search from the URL bar.

Otter-Browser is making great strides and I use it on untrusted sites.
Please make the browser simple and not hide settings in about:config.
Like a petal on the flower, or an apple on the tree, it's likely that planets fruit at about the same time.
Now is the best time too since Google is getting so terrible, not returning any decent websites for the search terms entered, ignoring keywords, returning what it thinks I want or what's good for google instead of returning what I'm looking for.

The market is ready for a new provider imo.

Couple of days back I was entering into SFO from 280 and just as I entered a city I had to slam my brakes because a poor guy was down on his knees on the road trying to pick some coins without any shirt. It was really sad to see something that we are only supposed to see in the third world.
Just FYI, there's a way to get to the QEMU console with a certain keyboard shortcut. There could be potential for mischief (if you are logging the sessions look at the one that ended just now with "too much data written to the terminal", that was me trying to attach the host's /etc/passwd as a raw disk image to the VM).
It isn't. If one accepts the premise that gender is separate from biological sex, one accepts chosen gender-based pronouns as acceptable descriptors of a person's gender identity, but the premise of gender-based pronouns is that they describe gender. As the set of human genders is not infinite, the set of valid pronouns to describe human gender is also not infinite.

"I identify as an attack helicopter" is obviously stated in bad faith, as "attack helecopter" is not a valid human gender. "God" or a base64 hash are also obviously not valid genders. The only people who would do so to begin with are trolls who want to mock trans identity.
> Q9: Do I have to use pronouns I’m unfamiliar or uncomfortable with (e.g., neopronouns like xe, zir, ne... )?

> Yes, if those are stated by the individual.

As with some replies in the sourced thread, I take issue with this, because it gives a way for trolls to request to be referred to in a humiliating or offensive way, and to prove bad faith is a waste of limited resources.

I say that it is a waste, because singular they/them is gaining currency, and has been used in many contexts as a gender-neutral third-person pronoun, and it is never interpreted as offensive or disrespectful afaict; at best somewhat awkward by some people in some contexts.
Not the OP, but password management and syncing in Firefox is a bit clunky.

I use and love the send to device feature and password syncing (I use FF as my main drive for desktop and mobile), but they are quite slow compared to Chrome. I get it that Chrome is syncing aggressively, which would have been nice in Firefox too, even if it eats up my mobile data.

Chrome web view is also the default web view in Android.
Is there anything that uBO blocks that isn't covered by Brave's integrated adblocker?
Opening the same page in different private tabs accomplishes this. Private tabs are completely isolated. This is how I use multiple accounts.

I'm at CoreAVI. As far as I know, ALT had some financial troubles that ruined the company (this was all before my time, I'm too young to have been involved in that :P ). Like half the senior employees are ex ALT employees who jumped ship once ALT started hemorrhaging money. We have a great relationship with AMD, we don't just do certified drivers for their chips, but we also temperture screen some of their GPUs and sell them in the industrial market. They give us a lot of documentation and will answer our questions directly. Although nowadays with all the stuff they release to the open source community I'm not sure if we are getting that much more information compared to everyone else. We do work with other GPUs such as the Verisilicon GC series, Intel HD, and most recently we started working with ARM. For Verisilicon & Intel, we don't really get as much support and we mostly work off the documentation they have released and reverse engineering on our part. The ARM partnership is fairly new so I can't speak too much about it, but from the outset they are looking to be a great partner like AMD.

For graphics APIs we implement a subset of OpenGL or Vulkan listed under their safety critical standards. We are part of Khronos and worked with them to define the OpenGL SC 2 standard and are currently working on defining the Vulkan SC standard. The saftery critical version of the APIs are a reduce subset that eliminate anything that would be more difficult to implement in certifiable code.

As for our QA process, its really split into two distinct things. There is just normal QA side with all the run of the mill testing and verification, and then there is the actual certification team who is responsible for meeting all the DO-178 requirements as defined by our process. Like a lot of other companies who do cert work, we don't create all the artifacts from the get go. There are a lot of defense contracts where they want "certifiable" but don't want to pay for the actual evidence, so we won't go out of the way to make it, if no one is buying it. We do have a strict coding standard and code reviews to ensure that any code checked in will actual be able to be certified, but certification is way more work than just writing the code. Once we have a paying customer for cert we will go through and write all the test cases, fill out all the requirements, and make sure every i is dotted and t are crossed.

Does that answer all your questions?
Not only is it the default on Android, it is required by some apps, like gmail that all its links open in Chrome despite Firefox being default on my phone. It stinks of the monopolistic behavior MS was engaged in with IE back in the day.
Over the past few years, it's become normal for a tiny number of people at a tiny number of companies to make decisions about which software packages ordinary people can run on devices that they own. When this practice started, a few people, myself included, said it would lead to a dark place. We were ignored. Can we revisit this decision now? As a general principle, if you own a device, you should be able to override any west-coast meeting room and run any package you want on it. If necessary, we should guarantee this freedom with legislation. The alternative is an inevitable shift toward banning things that this tiny group of software supervisors finds inconvenient.

Brave has add blocking features but isn’t an ad blocker. I think it’s useful to compare for speed base vanilla brave to other browsers with and with addons.
So the scientific process actually is extremely accountable & includes ideas like pushback through processes like peer review. There are bad studies but this is the classic case of getting no credit for the good job done 99% of the time and hyper focus on the mistakes that occur 1% of the time. People here would (rightfully) quit a job in that environment, they’d label it toxic, and they’d be right.
The problem isn't that people should be referred to in the way they want. The problem is trying to mandate it from above.

Ideally, it would be perfectly "allowed" to insult someone by referring to them in a way they explicitly asked not to be referred to. And it would then also be perfectly allowed to call that person out for being a jerk. That's how a naturally formed community would handle such trolling -- but here, the idea is that the "right behaviour" has to be enforced by rules from above, and that's really not a good idea if you're dealing with anything other than a group of pre-schoolers.
I agree. A resume is not supposed to be so much a confessional as a brag sheet. If you are not proud of it, consider removing it. But be sure you have a cover story for the interview. e.g. "it was a job where so much went wrong. I learned a lot from it, like what I do and don't want to do, and that is definitely something I do not want to do again." Safe statements whose accuracy can easily be defended.
While I agree it looks jank, the story[1] of the first spacewalk has a more than plausible explanation - His suit was pressurized, and they had underestimated how it would expand. This resulted in him having to bleed off pressure to get back in the craft. That also explains why the movements look so jank - He's not wearing a piece of form-fitting clothing, but what you see is instead a balloon, with it's own shape, that Leonov is fighting with to move and manipulate.

This would be a civil case with a jury trial. Moreover, some of the victims could even be non-citizens of the countries that request Apple to extract the data, who would sue in their own countries.

> They basically did this with Secure Enclave. There's no PR benefit to admitting they could technically do something that they've never done, so its not surprising they didn't announce that.

There is a security benefit to warning users that what they were promised was not what they were delivered.

I really love this thread!

I spent a few years doing indie game development, and one of this biggest lessons that stuck with me was how to think about a product as an experience. To me, game design was mostly that, but focused on making the experience fun, I guess. A huge amount of time and effort went into thinking about what the end user's experience would be like. By instinct, I tend to lean on thinking about the "player's" experience.

In both cases, people are choosing products because they're better. "Better" for most favors properties of the product. "Better" for you favors the politics of the product. Both are completely valid approaches.

This is an article about the Ruby on Rails framework not the ruby language. Most of the discussion is about SQL and query optimisation.

Also describing common performance pitfalls does not imply that something is or isn’t “performant enough”. Only that you can make mistakes that will affect performance.

That, I’m afraid, is true for every language or framework.
I wonder if that has anything to do when flattening wages over the same period. I wonder if that has anything to do with trade and economic policy. Or you could just chalk it up to individual consumer choices (and their crazy preference for cheaper goods suddenly and magically on offer) if you'd rather not think much.

Not true. I’d agree it’s not a dogma for the Republicans and some Republicans deny or are skeptical of climate change or its human causes. Acknowledging the problem publicly and then working on behalf of fossil fuel companies however is dishonest and counterproductive to fighting climate change.

Weird,would love to know which part of my comment caused all the downvotes.
>It is fixed now, though

I think this is utterly irrelevant. Telegram deliberately shipped a backdoor, removing it after they got caught doesn't change anything at all.

>which the thread does not conclusively say, just "backdoor looking" which sounds like either Telegram invented some unknown crypto that allows them to create a backdoor without anyone else having access, or an unfortunate mistake

Look, I'm not going to speculate on what some individuals may or may not think about this in private. However, many people would not be comfortable making such direct accusations in public.

>though I would not put it as black and white as "they backdoored it" when that is not actually certain

This is as certain as it could ever be, I'll refer you to this comment that worded the explanation better than I would https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17621104

After JavaScript’s success, I’m convinced any language can be made fast given enough time and money.

Some languages are easier to be made faster, but I think JS almost proves there’s no such thing as a language incompatible with high performance by design.

LGBTQ population estimate (US) 4.5%:

https://news.gallup.com/poll/234863/estimate-lgbt-population...

Transgender population estimate (US) 1M/0.3%

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5227946/

From the above, "The available evidence suggests that the size of the gender-nonconforming or gender-variant population may be twice as large as our best estimate for the transgender population size."

That pushes the estimate to 0.6% of which non-binary or andogynous is a subset.

I'm not LGBTQ unfriendly at all so don't go there. I am, however, going to question stats that appear questionable, regardless of my personal beliefs.
