We hear you. This is why we moved to embracing core framework tooling like in Ionic 4 with Angular, where you don't need to go through our custom Angular build tooling which was a big source of issues and made it hard to get help.

You can't do nationalistic flamewar on HN. We ban accounts that do this. Please stop.

Your comments on this have been curiously interesting, no doubt because they come from personal experience, and also because the rant is over-the-top which makes it a bit less mean. But it simply isn't legit to smear a whole country, and posting like this destroys the container here. HN's Norwegian readers have the same right as everyone else not show up here and run into comments that slur them. Please find a different way to tell your story.

There are settings in there that can^ lock you out of the browser UI and/or potentially destroy your profile data, if you are especially unlucky, potentially months or years after you made the change and since forgot that you did so. It’s usually possible to recover and it’s usually not so bad, but I imagine that’s why it’s a very scary warning.

^ webrender gfx all, for example, seems to break my Firefox Nightly every few months, which I duly report and see fixed the next day or so, but one time it took a couple weeks for them to find the crash!
The first example about the guy looking for "fail videos where people get a little hurt" is a strange anecdote to open with for this campaign.

> Let’s send a message to YouTube that they need to recommend responsibly...

I don't think there's such a thing as responsible recommendation at the scale YouTube operates at. At least not in the way people think by responsible anyway.
If you are forfeiting a large amount of equity from leaving your current job and are joining as a senior/staff engineer it's possible to negotiate a signing bonus that high
There will always be people for whom a school start time of X is inconvenient, will there not be? And, while middle- and upper-class people might be more likely to have the standard 9-to-5, there are still plenty that don't (nurses & doctors, for example).
A Mozilla PeerTube instance to join Blender's [1] in setting a good example would be a good place to start. The tech exists, and there's a large number of people on the ActivityPub fediverse ready to see it. Any organization that currently uses YouTube could do a similar mirror.

I’d be happy if Mozilla ran video hosting and just targeted ads based on the video itself (and maybe broad geographic area and language) and not what the user browsed last week and is on the fence about.

At least that’s been a viable model since the beginning of TV and radio. Dunno why it can’t be done now.
>” I don’t know how I can undo the damage that’s been done to her impressionable mind.

Here's an idea: Don't give your children unsupervised access to the internet. Yeah she might still access this stuff at school, but when I was in middle and highschool pre-2007 there's no way I'd ever get away with watching videos on a school computer during class. It's hard to imagine teachers are somehow more relaxed about this in 2019 and I'd be amazed if youtube wasn't blocked on school networks anyway.

There's nothing a 10 year old NEEDS internet access for on private computer or phone.
I don't think it's anything so elaborate as that. I think it's simple sadism on the part of the thugs. They just like exerting power.
Many schools have programs to drop your kids off early. The same program is there to keep kids late. If kids are getting out of school at 2:00 pm then the kids are either home alone or taking a bus one way or the other. In my opinion, this has very little to do with parents.
> I wish OPD had taken an interest in the theft

Been there, in a different city, a few times. Police are somehow in collusion with the crime syndicate.

Don't trust police. Ever. All police are corrupt and can not be trusted. Are there exceptions? Only to the extent they don't actively commit crimes but stay silent and refuse to go against their criminal "brothers in blue". Which makes them complicit as well. As I just said, all police are corrupt. Including anyone replying to this to tell me they are the one exception.
On Linux this works similarly. ~5 years ago my old laptops did the 'disable touchpad when typing' thing, now with libinput the touchpad has excellent and completely invisible (to the user) anti-false-touch functionality.

Apple has invested the time to make great trackpad drivers. People have invested time to make libinput a great driver for Linux (in this regard - it does lack customization possible in older drivers).

On Windows the manufacturers don't care. IIRC MS is doing a thing where manufacturers can add some property to their touchpad HW/drivers which tells Windows to handle the touchpad entirely on its own, and the result has been that touchpads have been improving significantly over the last few years since MS is investing time in making good drivers. But that depends on your specific touchpad allowing Windows to do its magic, instead of using crappy OEM drivers.
Did you even read the paper in your second link? Nothing in that review suggests "_a lot_ of redundant evidence backing up effects" on the microbiome.

Excerpt from the review:

"To our knowledge, there are no data on the potential influences of aspartame on the human gut microbiome. It is hard to understand how aspartame influences the gut microbiota because this NNS is rapidly hydrolyzed in the small intestine. In fact, even with the ingestion of very high doses of aspartame (>200 mg/kg), no aspartame is found in the blood because of its rapid breakdown (29). Upon ingestion, aspartame breaks down into residual components, including aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol and their components, which are readily absorbed so that they do not reach the large bowel (30)"

> Yes. 4 big macs a month for a small meeting that noone is making money on is too expensive. You're absolutely right.

That's the type of argument akin to "If you do not have a funded retirement you should not have a latte": if someone thinks that saving a money on a latte is going to make a difference in his or her retirement, then they have a structural problem that not having a latte won't solve.

> There are free solutions, Meetup can turn over and die.

Yes. They are called email lists or pen and paper.
Personally, I like the moderation here. It strikes the difficult balance between allowing discussion of sensitive topics while preventing the forum equivalent of descending into all-out verbal Armageddon about as well as any humans possibly could.

Bending to whatever ideology bonetopick wants to push, be it right, left or otherwise, would probably get equally angry posts from others so I encourage the moderators to give this post the minimal attention it deserves.
I guess I've never thought of a landed businessman as poor.
Don't all those crazy FBI/CMU/(NSA..?) correlation attacks require you to control some majority percentage of the relays and/or exit nodes?

It would definitely be interesting to actually come up with some estimates of how much was being spent in aggregate bandwidth costs, say, 7 years ago, and compare it with what is being spent at present, and see if it matches what would be expected with 'normal user growth' although normal user growth for a relatively niche project like this would be pretty hard to quantify.
I also really doubt that the thing that's being encoded by "classical music" vs country music" is "rich vs poor" rather than "cultured vs uncultured". My immediate gut reaction is better for the "rich" hobbies than the "poor" hobbies as well, but it has nothing to do with me associating them with economic classes; the "rich" hobbies just seem more "sophisticated" and cerebral to me.
Don't log in to youtube. Clear your cache.

Sorry about that, we definitely had some growing pains given we were a team of < 5 on the OSS side with a user base in the millions. Tried to automate as much as possible on the github side and over-applied our issue robot. I think our process has improved quite a bit recently and hope you give us another shot!

The interpreter loads reasonably fast, takes around 20-40ms. And it's even faster if "import site on initialization" is disabled.

But startup time increases an order of magnitude once you start importing 'requests' and other common packages.

Perhaps an option to turn imports lazy...
One thing I keep telling people is that buying a house really won't save you money in the long run. I only bought a house for the space, me and my wife both work from home in the midwest and need the office space.

You'll spend more than you realize on upkeep, furnishings and the increase cost of utilities. My opinion is If you really want to save money, find a cheap cost of living area and rent. Only buy a house if you need the space and know that you'll be staying in that area for 10ish years.
Isn't Debian literally the one distro where that shouldn't be a problem?

You create a package called "constrictor2.7", and set it up to provide /usr/bin/python using update-alternatives. Then #!/usr/bin/python and #!/usr/bin/env python both work.
Deciding I might be a terrorist because I went to the bathroom?

No, because you left a container large enough to hold a fair amount of explosives, a container that has been used in other parts of the world at airports to detonate explosives, and you just walked away from it. Tell me what you believe to be the sane response. But if you just want to go take a shit, by all means, do so.

And I'm with sibling comment: I don't let my bags out of my sight.
I support restrictions as long as there are proper alternatives and that the restrictions don't have more negative than positive consequences.

But you are confusing things here. The Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador doesn't have the power to do anything about that as there are more people in the world than them and thus other interests. 100 year ago they would just have been wiped out. By becoming richer they have the power to have a say in the international community.

Are their lives more worth than others?

As long as you are not prepared to make a proper cost-benefit anlysis and judge what's right or wrong you aren't really taking the discussion seriously IMO.
This was a terrible article. The fact that Mozilla endorses this content is extremely disappointing.
Frankly I'm shocked at how anemic the radar chip demonstration and marketing materials are compared to what they demoed about the chip a few years ago.

Google had video showing how they could differentiate individual finger motion and motions like rolling 2 fingers together to adjust volume up and down.

What they're shipping with Pixel 4 seems to have exactly one gesture: swiping a few inches above the screen to skip songs back and forth or silence alarms and calls.

You know what else had this feature? The 2013 Moto X. And it didn't use a radar sensor, just a group of 4 light sensors, one at each corner of the face of the phone.

Granted, if what they demoed a while back is accurate, the radar chip is much more capable than a few light sensors, but what they're shipping and marketing is not that. Either they were not able to make the proof of concept work in a shipping device, or the final product is not as capable as it seemed.

just use a wrong type (bool lets say), and check out go compilation error. it will tell you what type it wants.
It's interesting to me how Bay Area companies believe it is acceptable to demonize anything "right-wing" as is indicated by this page. The employees of Mozilla, and indeed many of those who are reading this very comment, do not know the difference between right-wing, far-right, and so on. Left-wing is simply "good" and right-wing is simply "evil" to them. The underlying motives are hard to overlook here.
Another vote for fastmail.
Oh I have no doubt the grass isn't purely greener on the Flutter side. There's a ton of moving parts here for any solution to deal with.

Capacitor does look really nice--it was in early beta (maybe even alpha) last time I started a new app project, haven't looked since. Will definitely give it a fair shake when the opportunity arises.

EDIT:

Adding a bit context to my earlier comment: one of the bigger points of frustration in managing dependencies was figuring out which versions of ionic, ionic-native, ionic/angular, angular, and angular's 6 dozen peer deps actually work together.

Definitely doesn't help that I don't use Angular or Ionic on a regular basis, but documenting the expected versions of other components would be a huge help for me.
Also consider DEC and HP had enormous engineering organizations. And Alpha was designed as extension of the VAX architecture, so presumably the port was less complicated. You can still find references to "EVAX", for "Extended VAX" in some of the headers, along with the EV* CPU model numbers. Itanium I know less about...
Option 1:
Open up my phone, type a few numbers, and 3 short messages.

Option 2:
Work out where my nearest police station is, and what time it's open, go to it, wait, fill out whatever crap they make me fill out.

Option 3:
Work out where the nearest branch is to me, what time its open, go along, queue up, explain the situation, hope they can do something.

The pragmatic reason is that there are enough organizations out there that depend on it and porting away from it is expensive enough that it is cheaper to stay.
Until now Ionic has been mobile first. But they announced earlier this year [1] that they are working towards better desktop support. So I'm not sure it would be the best choice if you need a mature framework for desktop web apps right now and don't need hybrid/native mobile apps.

We're currently adding desktop support to our existing Ionic app that has been mobile only so far so we are banking on being able to work around that and Ionic adding better desktop support over time.

I've started using a large number of separate web browser profiles (and a different Google account) on a per-subject basis.

It's really nice having one account used purely for music (with all the associated music recommendations), another for consuming news etc.

Bypassing soft paywalls becomes easier as they're different sessions (that aren't incognito, so don't trigger incognito detection). Having a 'no.JS' profile is the fastest way to skip soft paywalls.

One of the incredibly unfortunate things about science out of China. It may or may not be trustworthy, as in the data may be just straight false. I'm not surprised that you saw that split, I'd be leary of quoting/referencing a potentially false paper myself.
>3) 5G is a prerequisite for amazing new tech like IoT and self-driving cars - many of which already exist and will continue to use existing 3G and 4G bands

That sounds like marketing hype from an ISP.

A self-driving car that is dependent on a radio network to operate is by defonition, not self-driving.
Agreed - this isn't a Youtube problem. It's a people problem. If you don't want to watch this stuff and have it recommended to you, put down your phone and do something else. Or use the limitless other streaming video services out there. Youtube doesn't owe us anything and relying on them to do anything other than maximize use is a waste of time.
Nim does it by compiling to c++, which means it's dependent on c++. D isn't.
Also in a lot of cases these days you don't even have to cancel the card.

If you're like "Oops, that's gone" and it fell into a waterfall or something then, sure, you cancel it and have a replacement sent, but say you just got back from the store and it isn't in your wallet. You call a modern bank. "Hi, I think I lost my card maybe?" Good chance they say - "OK, we'll freeze the card, call us if you find it or if you give up and we'll send a new one".

Eh, I think it's pretty good that it's only really taken by enthusiasts. It's not really a party drug, IME it's for drug nerds who want to 'expand their mind' etc. If everyone and their dog was taking it on a friday night to have fun, the world would be a much worse place IMO.
These are interesting. Premise is a bit perplexing. Don’t have $2? Really? Even meetups for spiritual teachers who operate as a non profit suggest a $20 donation per event for instance.

Anyone know of a meetup for people interested in physics, meditation, and software entrepreneurship in the Bay Area? You’d think that would be easy to find given the areas demographics...
Tips to Prevent Your Instagram Account from Being Hacked
I love your optimistic view but lets be real..there are truly evil people in the world. It makes no sense to say we are all only just products of our environment or you could excuse any action that way. Yes people get into situations and I don't think that in most cases it defines that person, like say a person who committed and assault, I think they can go on to live a good life helping little old ladies across the street, but there are just broken toys out there that truly in my mind have little use on this earth. Back in the day the faces of death videos were popular, I can't stomach that stuff but every once in a while someone would suggest I "check this out" and it would be some video of some guy being skinned alive or something. You will not convince me after seeing that, that some people are not truly evil.
For my housekeeper, service people, etc. usually write a physical check. For friends and so forth mostly the same but sometimes Apple Pay, PayPal...
The article does say "South of Vancouver". I'm from the Vancouver area and I can't say I've seen random unmarked roads crossing the border (there are some exceptions further east including some campgrounds that are in the US but are only accessible from the Canadian side). It's pretty easy to accidentally cross the border on foot though.

Over the last few months there have been a lot more stories about the US/Canada border. Apparently a lot more people are getting barred arbitrarily from entering the US.

I would normally expect these sort of incident should be resolved with a warning and returning to the other country. It seems for some reason someone decided to make an example out of these guys.
All electric cars are niche cars.
That's one of my enduring memories of VMS, and something that came as a shock when I came to different OS - the lack of clustering. We had (As far as I remember) two vast servers called Alpha and Beta (With Gamma as a dev server). They were the size of a full-size rack for a single server. But from a developer perspective, my processes would run seamlessly across both of them and see a single FS, a single set of processors and RAM.

That and developing in Vista4GL. I'd kill to get hold of some manuals for that to remind myself what my first professional language was like.
I will not dispute that if you are less than a meter from a transmitting cell tower, you might be uncomfortable.

But the induced magnetic fields from this level of power, dispersed at an inverse square rate, which isn’t penetrating far past the skin, just doesn’t seem reasonable to fear.
Some of these complaints are because many people don’t realize that their YouTube watch history is separate from your browser history (watch history is stored on their servers, associated with your Google account). If you want to fully reset your recommendations you need to use Google’s privacy tools to clear your watch history and also unsubscribe to all channels. Google/YouTube could be more clear about this but it’s not a totally broken system.

If you realize that you are getting weird recs due to a particular video you watched, you can delete that singular video from your history. I’m not particularly concerned about this aspect of Google/YouTube’s behavior.

Finally, if you’re upset about your dad watching conspiracy videos, consider that maybe he’s always been a nut job and you are just now realizing it. People don’t keep watching videos that they don’t like, they started down the rabbit hole by clicking on videos that looked interesting (maybe the rabbit hole got deeper because they feel asleep, but they did start it on their own).
This is a bit meta and for that I apologise, but it's kind of interesting that the "drug addicts, paedophiles and terrorists" rhetoric seems to have lost almost all of its potency.

I found the reference to hate groups to be a much more effective argument, I think purely because everybody is so used to the kids/drugs/terror angle being overused and abused to chip away at liberties.

Surveillance-state dystopians take note.
Poor kids and parents are almost always penalised: Remove one and another comes up. These same folks are simply being penalised at a different time of day - morning instead of afternoon. This is solved in a number of ways - the most basic being providing before-school programs for the (especially!) the younger children. This can include things like breakfast too.
> Why did you think everyone was saying the "Oracle database is predatory", that makes no sense.

A case could be made that the database itself is predatory, insofar as Oracle encourages use of non-standard functions that make migration to an alternative very difficult.

10 years ago (at Amazon in fact) was the last time I used Oracle and I've never felt any desire to use it again. I wasted far too much of my working life fixing queries that used the silly outer join operator (+) or debugging proprietary functions that already had a perfectly good ANSI alternative.
Whoops thanks.
