I've used Mail.app since my NeXT days, and besides familiarity it has the simplest UX that could possibly work (if it was actually implemented properly).

I have Thunderbird installed for accessing a large e-mail archive on my NAS (simply because it has more control over local copies of messages) and find it horribly clunky and un-Mac-like even today.

And none of the trendy, flashy "new inbox philosophy" apps that have come and gone over the years were any sort of an improvement.

Even though I work at Microsoft today and acknowledge that the Entourage dumpster fire was finally fixed in the modern versions of Outlook for the Mac, I still prefer Mail.app because of its simplicity and straightforwardness, and refuse to use anything else for my personal e-mail.

Which is why I won't be upgrading to Catalina until this data loss bug is fixed...
Firefox scroll lags like 500ms behind my input, on my mbp. How does anyone live like that?
The internet wasn't made for Google. And if you think it serves users very well too then I suggest you read TFA, it is clear that what is good for Google and what is good for users are not aligned.
Some quick googling offers an interesting count point to my fear:

Austria. While 'socialist' is certainly no longer true, the labour security we have has been errected during the 70ies and 80ies, when the socialist party reigned with absolute majority.

When you develop a browser, one of the main concern of the users is to be able to import their passwords, bookmarks or tabs.
Guess what, Chrome for Android doesn't allow anyone to extract this data and bans apps who connects to their servers to fetch this information.

And yet Berlin, Paris, and Copenhagen are all able to build similar infrastructure for much less:

The problems of the MTA are unique to the MTA itself (AFAICT), and should not necessarily be extrapolated to other places.
I tried switching to Firefox for two months. It's just so rough around the edges in ever way. I wanted to like it. Really.
I just skimmed the article but I think this is partly due to a controversy over medical device failures. Investigative journalism TV shows discovered a high rate of failure in medical devices.

A large number of implanted devices like hip joints, pacemakers, insulin pumps,catheters were failing. That information wasn't public and when it was made public people freaked out.

Edge on Chromium is a great browser! Been using it for three months now and am never going back.

Also, while I am here, you should all be using a Pi Hole instead of uBlock Origin anyway. Much less detectable by sites, covers all of your devices...

Seriously, spend the 1 hour it takes to set up the Pi Hole - you won’t regret it.
what was painful?
Mastercard is a financial service for dealing with dollars, pounds, euros etc. Libra is not. To a logical conclusion it wants to be alongside dollars and euros with Mastercard offering a Libracard.

Universality and confidence came long, long before the 19th century gold standard - to the early Middle Ages and beyond, a state, or king, set the purity of coin, the penalty for clipping, mutilating the coin and so on. The gold standard developed from, and long after coinage standard and assaying.

Again in the early ME, particularly during the Viking age, and with some overlap with coin, people used hacksilver and similar as preferred medium of exchange because there was inherent value to the commodity. Hacksilver goes long back into the dim and distant ancient past, beyond other universal coins and currencies that achieved confidence, such as Roman. So yes, it was the ultimate - and very effective - hedge, particularly as towns fell, were raided or found themselves repeatedly changing side.

Of course government can abuse rates, but the scope is amplified orders of magnitude with a Company Scrip. Libra is a company scrip that risks destabilising proper currencies, and creating islands of inclusion and exclusion. By contrast, BTC is not, and does not. The difference in regulatory response seems clear, and warranted.

I use FireFox as my primary browser, but I'm also a big fan of Brave.
That is weird indeed, I never heard of this (and I'm relatively involved in Telegram-related thread / some tech groups on Telegram). It is fixed now, though. If it was ever a backdoor (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), it is no longer in there. As far as I know, this mtproto thing is weird but not broken. It is indeed something to be aware of though, I guess it's fair to bring it up, though I would not put it as black and white as "they backdoored it" when that is not actually certain. If you want to put it like that, you could also say that every vulnerability in the world could have been placed there intentionally. Which it could, but...
I am not convinced - ‘\a’ had already been taken by C.
Only downside to Firefox mobile is its crummy tab management. Especially when browsing in landscape mode it takes an incredibly long swipe to dismiss a tab. I don't think I go a week without yelling "oh my God, go away!" at my phone after failing to close a tab after multiple tries.
Amazing tool for language learners, too. Just enable for your languages and force-click or right click to translate individual words. For me, for Japanese words it brings up definitions in Japanese plus an English translation.

I would disagree that it is easier to assign seats next to each other compared to random. You would have to firstly check which of the untaken seats are next to each other in a continuous row. With random you would just have to pick a any unseated seat.
Some resistance is definitely necessary if you care about whether the claims being made are true, yes. For example, take this article about the oceans supposedly soaking up much more heat than previously thought, which made it to HN a year or so ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18352506 The comments are full of people confidently taking it as yet more inevitable evidence that we're even more doomed than previously thought, we need to overthrow the entire system of global industry, etc.

The article was retracted, followed by the underlying study. One of those pesky members of the climate denial movement spotted that they'd messed up their calculations, and the authors basically copped to this. This shouldn't have been necessary. They were using a bizarre, indirect method to try and estimate something we'd already measured directly, and got an answer that contradicted that existing measurement. The first assumption should've been that their method was wrong and it should've taken a hell of a lot of evidence to overcome it, but there's such a strong bias towards claims of climate doom that it got a spot in Nature and uncritical regurgitation in the global press instead. (Part of the problem is that Nature has a general bias towards shocking, novel claims that leads to them publishing dubious work, but it's hard to imagine them being so gung-ho about work leaning in the opposite direction.)

Naturally, most people who read the existing coverage will never see the retractions and will continue to be influenced by the now-retracted claim.
The reality is companies are in the politics of pandering to gain the largest audience possible. Blizzard is perfectly fine with western participants wearing things such as gay pride clothing (sadly a social/political issue) because it's popular with their audience. But they don't like what happened here because it isn't popular with their audience in China.

So of course it has to do with China. If they knew it wouldn't get them kicked out, and most of their potential players in China supported the issue, they wouldn't have cared. Because that's exactly how they handle social/political issues in the west.
I like the syntax for function chaining: (dedup:sort < "abracadabra")

I assume that dedup and sort are separate functions.
I just ran into the correlated sub query problem this week. Wasted a ton of work getting things working in Django just to have all of it die when it hit our alpha environment. Aggravating at best.
What are the options for manual installation?
One of the main "advantages" (for Google) of manifest v3, is that there is, not only a blacklist, but also a whitelist of domains bundled with Google Chrome.
So the logic is to restrict adblockers, to use the internal Chrome adblock so Google can decide what ads are acceptable or not.

An independent study shows that YouTube ads and Search Ads are the ones that the users enjoy the most and wouldn't want to block ;)
File::Slurp is broken AF though, and obsoleted by File::Slurper since the original can't be fixed without breaking accidentally working code in the wild.

Still mostly fine so long as you know you're only dealing with 7-bit ASCII, IIRC, but Caveat Emptor.
If you have to use Chromium, at this point it is clear that Brave is a better Chromium than Chrome [0][1] despite its BAT shenanigans. The UX is super nice, and adblocking just works without having to install any extensions. Hopefully Brave doesn't buy into the whole PrivacySandbox thing Google proposed [2].

For everything else, Firefox should be the default [3][4].

It'd be great if Firefox bundles a content blocker like uBlockOrigin [5] in its distributions and introduces First-Party Isolation [6]. DoH is a welcome addition, esp since it can be used with AdGuard DNS [7] for another layer of content blocking. Firefox Private Network [8] is yet another step in the right direction, as are the anti-fingerprinting techniques [9] it has been upstreaming from the Tor Browser. With WASM around the corner, it'd be wonderful when native apps could be run from within a privacy-friendly sandbox like Firefox. Imagine using WhatsApp/Instagram on Android within Firefox with content blockers...

Next up: Strike partnerships with Android OEMs and bundle the browser as default.

One of the first examples of being Sherlocked was done by Microsoft when they basically killed Netscape by adding Internet Explorer to Windows.
I assemble and manage international teams for our customers. My advice is to (a) thoroughly vet whoever might be look like a good fit and (b) focus more on value added than on price; the ratio value/price is more important in the long run than price alone. In fact, I don’t know a single company succeeded in trying to significantly reduce cost with offshoring. Value is more important.
There should be a threshold of "number of active extension users" where Google has a human provide an actual explanation when rejecting an update.

Most people believe many things, often contradictory, and having notoriety doesnt mean that other people should believe the same. There 's a certain mcCarthyism in the media to put a straightjacket on everyone, perhaps in order to know how useful they can be when propaganda is needed. It's as if somebody is preparing a propaganda war.
It took me a bit to realize this isn't just a place to find a remote job.

After working remotely for a year I have become very aware of how isolating it is to not have the usual social interaction provided by an office environment. This is a good idea.
Care to tell what happened? I am intrigued (and horrified). The idea of being stuck in an underwater cave is the stuff of nightmares.
Same here - FF for general web browsing and Microsoft Edge Dev for dev tooling on Windows. I haven't uninstalled Chrome completely yet but that day is quickly approaching.

Nowadays ad blocking isn't even enough anymore. It feels like every website with news articles of any kind has some scrolling, autoplaying video embedded into the site, sometimes even with audio enabled. Unfortunately I haven't seen a blocker for that because it's not considered an ad. It is definitely more annoying than most ads, though.

> We say that history is written by the winners. That is sometimes true. We have no Carthaginian accounts of their war with Rome; few historians today have much sympathy for Hitler.

mean, that WWII history is written by the winners or loosers? Because as an Austria an least in can intensely confirm that the history I perceive is not written by the loosers.
uBlock doesnt only block. It:

shims/redirects some known trackers for their benign versions

rewrites incoming resource on the fly

injects custom javascript

injects/modifies CSS on the fly

Neither Safari, nor manifest v3 allow that.
That's the problem. You ask company decide what is "demonstrably false". Not courts, just commercial interest.

Religious beliefs are for me demonstrably false, for example. If I were running FB and politicians would ask me do moderate that would not fly. This could work in reverse in FoxNews controlled media. No TV-ads with climate change message for example.
I usually scroll with the spacebar which doesn't appear to have any lag to me.
FUSE: Multi-Faceted Set Expansion by Coherent Clustering of Skip-Grams
It is most certainly about scientific debate. The public already has a distorted view of what science is and how it works. One example: that things are "proven" rather than "disproven," as I noted in my original comment.

The Smithsonian article feeds into that misperception by suggesting that there are "settled" scientific questions.

You could say that in its own way the Smithsonian article has injected misinformation for public consumption. Unfortunately, it is not alone in thinking the ends justify the means when it comes to the question of climate change.
Saying “He’s got a penis, we’re going to have a boy!” when taking an ultrasound is in no way comparable to the examples of racism and chauvinism that you’ve described.

The comparison here is utterly absurd. Why not throw something about Hitler in there too?
Pi-hole is a basically a glorified DNS filter. While it's great for blocking DNS names across all devices on your network, it is not a replacement for browser plugins like uBlock Origin.
Unfortunately the Android version of Firefox is unusably crashy on my phone (moto z play) and noticeably slower.

I gave it a hard try, but it just wasn't workable.

Still using Firefox on all desktop/laptop devices, though.

Stand-up comedian Jerry Seinfeld mentioned in an interview that he still goes to comedy clubs to perform every week. Obviously he isn't doing it for the money. It's the process of testing out meterials before big shows that makes him good at his acts.

My takeaway from such stories is that Passion for work and keeping in touch with the path that lead them to success helps them stay relevant and successful.
I’m not sure about what happened to Eberhard and his co-founder, and other early employee stakes in Tesla. I find this situation to not be the same as the examples I brought up. Elon and the two co-founders he brought in did not already know the two original co-founders on a personal level. Tesla was behind on their tech and production when the recession was beginning and Elon took over.

Elon plowed all of his liquid assets into Tesla [and SpaceX]. I don’t think he had much money around the late 00s until Tesla was able to get out of its financial woes. I don’t know if the original co-founders would’ve been able to find someone else to pump the money Elon did himself and fundraised from car companies while still maintaining control of the company. Same way, I don’t know if they would’ve been able to get enough money raised from auto companies like Elon and the Tesla team did without them in the late 00s.

For all of that and the fact that the Tesla co-founders were worth tens of millions a piece from a prior startup sale, I’ve never put the Tesla co-founders in the same basket as what the Snap founders did. Or much worse, what the Twitter founders, Ev and Jack, did. Or people like Steve Jobs and Ellison firing early or important employees before stock vested or not giving stock to early employees. For companies that are financially solvent and growing. That’s despicable.

Similarly, I don’t put what Zuckerberg and Facebook did to Eduardo and the Winklevoss on remotely the same level as any of these examples. On the flip side, the twins and especially Eduardo lucked out completely that FB became so successful and they were able to reap enormous financial benefits that they otherwise wouldn’t have done on their own.

The actual Nikola Tesla though. Yes I weep for sure!

I gravitate toward the really old ones for nostalgia's sake. The ones with the text-only labels.

But the ones I play most often are the ones with good gameplay: Dig Dug, Asteroids, Donkey Kong, Tron, Air Sea Battle, Moon Patrol, Jungle Hunt.

I play on real hardware. There's a place in Pittsburgh called DK Oldies that sells refurbed 2600's online with a 90-day warranty.

I have one of those Retron77 machines, too, but it doesn't work with all games. Most notably, paddle games. Which is a shame because I really like Circus Atari.
It doesn't serve users in any sense that Firefox or another alternative can't. It's just been pushed so well by Google on all its devices and properties that users have been conditioned to think browser == Chrome.

Just like with plane crashes, there is rarely a single event that causes catastrophe, but a chain of events, avoiding anyone one of which could break the path to the disaster.

You need a big-ish city to find them with any frequency. They’re on the menu at my favorite restaurants in Vegas and San Diego. I also just recently saw them in Tallahassee. I’ve also had marrow delivered via crowd cow, a crowd funded butcher box service.

Pi Hole is a very poor substitute for uBlock origin, it doesn't block Youtube or Twitch ads for example or do anything dynamic. Plus it's full of false positives since DNS rules can be very coarse or change continuously. Not to mention the trouble you have to go to when sites break due to that coarseness or that in many cases it degrades functionality that's not immediately obvious.

uBlock origin is the king of adblocking, and suffers from none of these issues. Use anything else and you're severely compromising. I'd go as far as to say that DNS adblocking is basically a waste of resources, a gimmick, the wrong solution to a well-defined problem.
I regularly see bone marrow on restaurant menus, and frozen cut bones are available in grocery stores.

So, I wonder if the most likely result of this is that SO just becomes more of a "place I look stuff up", and less of a "place I post things"?

Also, I wonder what happens the first time somebody says their preferred pronoun is "God", or something 127 characters long? or Little Bobby Tables? or...?
There’s the distinct possibility of 8c change by 2100 under business as usual. 8c means palm trees at the arctic and no clouds ever forming. If you think that’s a tenable position for life then you’re fully on the denier side.
Apple buys iPhones wholesale from CMs (contract manufacturer) like Foxconn, Pegatron, etc for only $250-$350 and sells them for around $799-$1000 retail. The cost of labor (ie, final assembly; aka, manufacturing) in iPhone BOM, often born by CM's, is around $10-$12 per device.
