Except the Multi-Account Containers extension has a trash UX[0], and there is no Google Container extension from Mozilla. Why does Mozilla give us a first party Facebook Container extension but force people to rely on a community provided Google Container extension?

Am I supposed to give Mozilla the benefit of the doubt and assume that the lack of Google Container extension has nothing to do with Mozilla getting more funding from Google than they do Facebook? And that Mozilla's failure to throw a few engineers at fixing up Multi-Account Containers has nothing to do with such extensions earning them no good will from Google/etc?

[0] I realize calling something trash might be considered inflammatory, so let me defend that remark. The number of steps needed to say "always open hacker news in a container called 'hacker news'" is absurd:

1) Click the Multi-Account Containers button.

2) Click the "Create new container" button.

3) Enter a name, select from a (senselessly limited and visually similar) number of colors and icons, and press Ok.

4) Click the Multi-Account Containers button a second time, then click your new container to switch to it.

5) In the new container tab, navigate to news.ycombinator.com

6) Click the Multi-Account Containers button a third time.

7) Check the "Always open in [container]" box

8) Open a new regular tab.

9) Navigate to news.ycombinator.com a second time.

10) Check "Remember my decision for this site"

11) Click "Open in [container] Container"

The redundancy in steps 7 through 11 is particularly frustrating.
Doesn’t this describe most students with roommates, or teens with siblings, or parents with children, or people who doze off on public transport, or...? The plausible scenarios seem pretty much endless.
Malaysia. $25k is about median household salary for Kuala Lumpur. If my wife made the same salary, we'd be in the top 20% for the city.

The rest of Southeast Asia is similar, in different ways. We've got lots of people who migrate over from the UK, Estonia, Japan, Australia, for various reasons. Sometimes it's just more political stability, sometimes it's the lack of pressure, sometimes it's just being able to have a more diverse international team.

> You can write stored procs in C#.

It just occurred to me that Rust might be a really good fit for user defined functions in MySQL. I would never want to write in C or C++ myself, but with a nice crate that abstracts away and/or provides most the structures you might need to pass back and forth, I would be much more confident that if I got it compiling in Rust that it probably wouldn't blow up my database.

I mean, I think that's one of the major benefits of using C# over C or C++. You're not likely to segfault or buffer overflow, etc.
My takeaway here is the advice Garry said. Not really thinking much towards YC being a holy grail of incubator and doing everything to get in. Instead, it lets me rethink my ideas if I can put it into words that will be good enough for an interview, not to get in YC, but to validate my idea. Put yourself in the shoes of the interviewer, would you then approve your own startup?

Oof. You are definitely missing the entire point of CSS Grid.

CSS Grid is a two dimensional layout tool. Flexbox is one.

CSS Grid is for architectural layout. Flexbox is for alignment and flow layout.

CSS Grid was enabled across all major platforms by October 2017. You've had two years to figure that out. You want it on IE? Then use CSS Grid's original syntax because Microsoft supported Grid first.

The browsers haven't "started implementing some layout tools" --- they literally did it, en masse, in 2017. Grid was available for everyone's use by October.

Do yourself a favor and work through the examples here: https://gridbyexample.com/

Do yourself another favor, and stop trying to make different layouts for all the different sizes. Or, go with insanity - your call. Grid is for responsive layout, out of the box; no negative margins, no weird padding, no inane extra workarounds just to get something to line up.

Once you understand that CSS Grid is the tool we have been waiting for since the late 90s, and that it, NOT Flexbox, is the sane, maintainable, future-proof layout tool for pages, and then using Flexbox within it to adjust flow and tempo -- you will/can spend a lot more time playing with things for the sake of play, and not for the sake of debugging.

Good luck.

To be fair, we didnt get Grid till 2017. So.. we finally have (nearly) all the tools we need. Maybe. lol

Float is still very useful for paragraph wrapping around media, for basic alignment etc, when you do not need an entire flow of content to be under the management of flexbox. Less is more.

> Time to precompute full chunk-graph distance matrix by repeatedly dijkstra-ing from each chunk to all chunks

It’s faster to use an all-pairs shortest paths algorithm, of which there are several with better performance than what you’re suggesting.
Yes. I’ve been (very slowly) reading Myths from Mesopotamia, by Stephanie Dalley, which contains literal translations of the tablets, gaps and all. Its not an easy read at all. The thing about these ancient Sumerian texts is that, probably due to their nature of being told verbally by storytellers, tablets from different regions or times had slightly different tellings, so one tablet cannot be directly used to fill in the gaps of another. The book tells the same sections from multiple tablets and leaves it up to the reader to fill in the gaps.

Here’s a random excerpt, for anybody interested in seeing what its like to read:

The Scorpion-man made his voice heard and spoke,
‘It is impossible, Gilgamesh, [ ]
Nobody has passed through the mountain’s inaccessible tract.
For even after twelve leagues [ ]
The darkness is too dense, there is no [light.]

To the dusk [ ]
To the dusk [ ]
The sent out [ ]
(5 lines fragmentary, then 16 lines missing)
(gap of about 18 lines)
In grief [ ]

Yeah. Not easy! But I like the idea that I’m reading a translation that wasn’t in any way interpreted or embellished.

Yes - it came out earlier this week or end of last week. But CSS Grid has been available since 2017. So, we are able to still solve a lot of layout issues with grid, than leaning 100% on flexbox.

Every tool for its purpose! We have nearly a full toolbox on the CSS side of things. Happiness.

> People are free to disagree and criticize, of course — but ultimately it’s my way or the highway

No, it is not your way or the highway, though. Because you, as the platform, are also subject to the opinions of the public, now.

And if you are subject to the opinions of the public, then you might start to decide to censor more and more things, not because you actually think that they are bad, but instead because some vocal minority is clammering for it to be banned.

I don't want you to be subject to that public opinion. Instead, I want to give platforms an excuse to say "sorry! We can't ban anything at all, because we are required to act neutrally!".

That way nobody can complain and try and pressure the network into expanding their definition of bad things more and more.
I remember reading Orwell's "Road to Wigan Pier" (a bit dated) and one of his observations was that a lower class supermarket would have nothing but white bread. However a middle class supermarket would have brown bread and healthier foods as well. His conclusion was, very roughly, that eating healthy was a luxury of those who were well off. Whereas the poor were struggling so much day to day that they needed short-term gratification just to get through.

Cheap food causes obesity insofar that if you have money you can buy nutrient dense food that tastes good and spend zero time preparing it. With cheap food you're constantly expending willpower to eat food that tastes like crap, expending more time making it, or are sacrificing health value. Eating pots of unappetizing starches (which really aren't as healthy as you make them out to be relative to smart fast food picks) takes time and willpower. Those are actually limited resources. Attempting to do difficult unpleasant things one after another does actually wear you down and cause negative mental health effects which unravel your plans. A starch heavy diet means you're going to get rocked by insulin spikes regularly for your troubles. Whereas if you can afford to eat leafy greens and a big hunk of fish your mental stamina will increase.

In my mind the key to a healthy diet isn't buying potatoes and rice in bulk. It's $$$. FWIW my favorite poverty meal was chili... Good mix of time effiency/cost efficiency/taste.

There are plenty of academic and academic center trained physicians that understand study design and are competent in research. They aren’t typically primary care/general practitioners so you just don’t encounter them as much. And yes they are the minority. But it’s not the totality.

Clinical research that isn’t making ridiculous claims tends to get much less press.

Furthermore, of all places to lap that crap up... this hacker news site is frankly one of the worst.

I mean look at this submission. Yes it’s true people are pillorying it here (including some doctors), but i don’t recall much interesting well designed medical research being discussed here (though arguably maybe not the place for it)
> The man command let you read all the pages in volume 1. Volume 2 only existed in print, with the troff source in /usr/doc but no obvious way to find it if you didn't know where to look. So naturally volume 2 fell by the wayside.

> This might make sense if a bunch of assumptions hold: the chunk-graph does not change during gameplay, map sizes aren't much bigger than the one shared in the post so the number of vertices in the chunk graph is pretty small, land units share the same costs for traversing terrain (i.e. same chunk graph with same edge cost shared by all units).

The first assumption is mildly violated; the second one is tremendously violated--100,000+-chunk graphs are going to be quite routine, and million-chunk ones definitely plausible.
Calling these the "maximum height" and the "minimum height" of the sun during the year makes it sound like the height of the sun will always lie between those two figures. That can't be the case -- they have night in the tropics too. Are these what I might call the "high maximum height", the yearly maximum of the maximum height of the sun on any given day, and the "low maximum height", the yearly minimum of the daily maximum height of the sun?

Yup, every time I have some horrible/menial/stressful task to complete, I think "I appreciate the opportunity to even experience this moment and witness the dream of existence".

Of course that only really works for things that aren't truly terrible, but I think in general it's a good perspective to take!

For a long time I fought with a family member using this exact same argument. Eventually, I realized that his only truly happy state is when he is wrapped up and engaged in his work, and even a little stressed by it. I learned the lesson when he had to take some time off of work due to a health problem, and I never saw him more depressed and miserable than when he couldn't work. There's many ways to enjoy life, and not everyone fits the mold you describe to achieve fulfillment.
Most long haul flights have 2 complete 2-person flight crews. Generally comprised of Captain, first officer, and 2 second officers. Rotation is such, that at any one time, either the Captain or the First officer is on the flight deck with one of the two second officers.

Critical parts of the flight (such as take off and landing) will have the two most senior pilots in command, but less demanding parts in cruise, one of the second officers will be backing up one of the senior crew while the other 2 crew members have mandated rest.

Because these are 'hot bunks', you only need 2 available for the flight crew at any time. I assume the cabin crew have a similar rotation system.

There's no magic of course. The difference in real world apps that many people in this thread claim are in favour of Phoenix comes from the responsiveness and robustness of Erlang's OTP itself.

(I'll again reiterate that I rewrote a Rails app from scratch to Phoenix and thus accelerated it at least by a factor of 20x. I am just a working guy and have no vested interest in spreading misinformation.)

A lot of web frameworks crumble or introduce abhorrent lags after a certain threshold of pressure. Elixir/Phoenix in comparison almost don't change their average response time until much later.

Truthfully, after reviewing the TechEmpower repo for the last day and a half, I can only see their Fortunes benchmarks as being half-adequate. Most of their benchmarks are extremely unrealistic in terms of web apps usage. At this point I am not even sure what their goal is anymore.

> I did not call Swebs' argument circular.

I know. Swebs has not proposed a full argument. We're talking about hypothetical arguments that swebs, or someone else, could propose. Right?

> I will repeat, for at least the third time now, that my comment about circularity was intended to forestall the use of a circular argument, of the sort that you have acknowledged is possible, in attempts to correct it.

Here are the things you said:

"Of course, we can figure out what it would look like, but if that is your argument, then it is circular."

"you have to make assumptions about the latter in order to deduce the former"

"I do not think that there is any set of deduced remote measurements that a) show, as a certainty, that space itself is expanding, and b) can be deduced without implicitly or explicitly assuming a position on the issue."

"What I said was that there are certain claims that, if they were made, would result in a circular argument. I did not say that Swebs had made those claims, as he had not done so; I wrote it in an attempt to forestall a trip down a dead end (so much for that!)"

So, correct me if this summary is wrong, "Any argument based on figuring out what it looks like has to be a circular argument."

Do you stand by that statement, or am I misinterpreting something?

Because that's what I disagree with. I think it's possible to make an argument, based on figuring out what it looks like, that is not circular. This argument would use measurements as the basis for its figuring/deducing.

> circular argument, of the sort that you have acknowledged is possible

It's always possible to make a circular argument. What matters is whether it's possible to make a non-circular argument.
A crawler has two high level options: parse the page, or render the page.

Most of our parser-based crawling is done by Heritrix (crawler.archive.org) and most of our render-based crawling is done by a proxy-based recorder similar to what you theorize (https://github.com/internetarchive/brozzler).

I am assuming that is because most 787 operators are 'full service' airlines rather than budget carriers, who generally run cheaper or second hand 737s or A320s.

Then again, I just came back from Europe in a Scoot 787. Scoot are the 'budget' arm of Singapore Airlines, but I guess with the wealth of Singapore, their budget carrier is the equivalent of most other full service carriers.
Rule #6 increases readability. eg:

int foo;
// a page of code
foo = bar + 5;
// more code

vs

// a page of code
int foo = bar + 5;
// more code

This keeps everything in one place. It's more readable and easy to follow.

I feel like the topic of inlined code is similar but is not quite the same.
But like the parent said, you still have to make it fair. The child may have never seen a film before, but they've probably read other books, or have had books read to them, or have had stories told to them (real or fictional). And they've probably seen TV shows or videos of some sort. And they've probably had an upbringing with lots of adults and kids speaking to and around them about topics, and have had (rudimentary) experience telling stories themselves, like what they did today. All of this helps them form a model of the world that makes understanding a book or a film, and the relation between them, easier.

So maybe training on a corpus of books and film adaptations is cheating in this scenario, but the AI should still be allowed to train on a massive corpus of all of the things a child may be exposed to. Maybe instead of showing it films, show it thousands of hours of footage from head-mounted cameras that people have worn while going through daily life, and children's TV shows, books, and games, and have it talk to a bunch of humans.
