Would Netflix users pay an extra $5/user/month to give valid legal credentials to their friends? Your reasoning, that pirates pay extra versus non-pirates, implies yes - but upthread given the attempt to justify pirating one or another service based on cost of service and value perceived for that cost, I seem correct to think otherwise.

I would buy a Netflix sub for a year for someone with a gift card before I would share my credentials, because I want Netflix to continue existing, and if everyone gave away credentials instead of buying gift subs, that’s much less likely to happen.

(ps. “Sharing Netflix credentials isn’t pirating”: Incorrect. It’s not torrenting. Historical usage of “pirating” as in “pirating cable TV pay channels through splices and illegal decoders” had nothing to do with recording it and sharing recordings. I see no case made that Netflix credentials sharing is any different than buying an illegal Showtime decoder box, nor its impact on revenue.)
The best alternatives to Apple’s disastrous MacBooks
My father is dead.
You're absolutely correct. It's also true that you have to play around a bit with the container addons to get it functioning as you'd expect, but please believe that you're not alone out there on how you want it to work. For example, my vision of containers was built out with the Containerise extension. A version of that needs to be built into Firefox.

To do what you're asking, I haven't looked for addons to do it, but you'd probably have to do it manually. Open a window, then open a container and spawn everything else out from there. Assigning a container to a browser window sounds entirely plausible, useful, and I like it.

There's only a few real use cases for containers that make sense or are useful and that's a new one (to me). If Mozilla did that and duplicated Containerise, they'd have yet-another killer feature.

I think Mozilla's biggest problem must be management or bureaucracy, because they have a lot of relatively low-hanging fruit like this just waiting.
I told everyone I could to use Chrome because the risk of being infected by malware was radically lower. Flash 0days used to be so common, I know plenty of people who'd get hit. Java plugin was the other big one and Chrome had it click to play early on IIRC.

Chrome had a massive advantage over Firefox, security wise, for quite a long time.

Not in the sense of epub which is great btw. More ephemeral in the sense that it’s harder to hold onto bits than a phisical book. Take for instance a collection of books that is stored on a storage device that is encrypted when the owner dies. In the case of paper books they might end up re-sold somewhere, at least some might escape the dumpster. I have 15 harddrives of different formats from the last 15 years that I didn’t make the effort of transfering them to newer storage and the more im postponing the harder it gets. Take for example SCSI, IDE and older SATA HDs. I need to invest in convertors at some point. Anyway, you could argue the oppsite, if one is very organized and responsible with their archive of bits, one can have the potential to hold onto everything they ever interacted with in some form or another, but at the same time the ocean of information makes it overwhelming. A paper book on the shelf is there after 100 years in an attic, a basement or a shelf, albeit a bit dusty, but ready to be consumed.
Yeah, but now Windows bugs, when you encounter them, are stupid as hell.
.NET Core would’ve been really incredible had it come a few years earlier, but I’ve been too busy being enamored by Go and Rust to really consider it more. Still, it is very nice to use when I do use it. I am quite excited by the way it handles async. I had some issues trying to use debuggers under Linux due to licensing... a little bit of “old world” Microsoft?

I really don’t care for Windows 10 at all, and make a point of not running it on any of my machines (I am running Linux everywhere.) I keep checking and rather than getting better it often feels it’s getting worse. The fresh install experience is abysmal.

Is the “new” Microsoft really great? GitHub has been doing awesome, and I love Visual Studio Code, but as much as it pains me to say it they still have a long way to go. It feels like Microsoft, as large a company as it is, is in two places about many of these issues. I still have fears. Can I trust VS Code remoting? (It’s not open source, from what I can tell.) Hard to say. (I still use it, because it’s awesome. But, I have second thoughts every time. It’s hard to shake the feeling that maybe something is off.)
My only real beef with the modern MS stack is the occasional forcing of telemetry and updates on certain products. If they would just quit doing that, without insane hoops to jump through, they'd gain a bunch more trust.

I propose universal opt-out environment variables (e.g. OPT_OUT_ALL_TELEMETRY=1, OPT_OUT_ALL_AUTOMATIC_UPDATES=1) that all software, not just MS's, should pride themselves in respecting.
The one thing that has persuaded me the most has been vscode.

Until switching to that, I had assumed Microsoft incapable of producing something with excellent design/UX. Also it's open source.

Opening Microsoft software every day on my Ubuntu machine and feeling grateful they made it has slowly chipped away at my anti-Microsoft stance.
I would lean towards maintaining a simple list on redis and letting the workers pop the next job from it whenever they are done.
Agree with the mouse-click part. I made this addon to make container a little bit easier to use, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/confiner/. Every page is opened in an ephemeral container. But you can easily make the container for a specific site persistent.
Are you sure that this dialog box comprehensively represents the whole company?
To be fair, Microsoft Basic practically was an operating system, in its day. It’s what many computers booted into, and sometimes the environment in which everything else was run from.
The hoops you have to jump through on azure data studio is rediculous. It has a popup saying it is tracking you but instead of asking or providing an opt out button it has a wiki page describing a config option you have to manually insert into a json file and restart the program before it will stop tracking you. By that point it has likely uploaded all of your data anyway.
As WeWork Tries to Repair Its Business, There’s a Lot of Space to Fill
And are you commenting about just macos and electron? Anyway does not change my answer.
The pitch is simple. There are organizations in the middle east that hate western people and their success. And they openly state that as their mission. I'm more curious about about the mechanics of this "SJW invasion". Just blaming someone on twitter isn't enough. Various companies, universities and other organizations need to collaborate and recognize the "SJW anathema". How? By paying them. Paying for implementing the SJW agenda would be too gross. Instead they likely just pay for non-existent services (like being a honorable member) and behind the scenes they hint that if that company/university/etc. continue employing that individual who's been detested by SJW, that money stream may disappear because they would feel unwelcome in this non-diverse place. The head of say university scratches his head and thinks that firing one person for no reason is not nice, but that money source funds half the university and he'd have to lay off half the staff, so he feels he'd doing the right thing when firing that person. Others see that SJW effectively has teeth. If I had the feds powers, I'd watch very closely the SJW talking heads: I doubt they are smart enough to leave no traces: I mean some questionable contacts, fishy bank transactions and so on.
Yeah I agree, I think that could be a problem. Not much beats a drink in a deckchair on the beach for relaxing.
Note that it's currently the only comment from that user, and the username looks like a random throwaway (unless vb6sp6 is a big fan of Visual Basic 6.0, Service Pack 6).

The three reasons I can't seem to switch are tearing with compton and i3, startup time, and middle click not pasting when clicking the new tab button. Does anyone know how fix any of these behaviors?

The last one may seem minor, but it takes three clicks to achieve the same result as chrome for a task I do constantly.

How is Firefox on wayland with sway?
I honestly don't know why people are so interested in this. It was never clear to me exactly what Chronicle was, but there's no "cybersecurity" startup that is going to revolutionize all of security --- it's a huge problem space --- and threat intelligence, no matter how good your telemetry, is something that has a market only in larger companies --- you're on your 4th or 5th security headcount before you've got anyone who can pay attention to any kind of threat feed, no matter how good it is, at the very earliest. What was this, in the best case? Google's "moon shot" at competing with... what? FireEye? Crowdstrike?
Ah, so again less distance covered. I accept your concession to the Taycan's win.
The IPCC reports contain sources with the relevant evidence. Please refute those first before asking for more evidence.
I'm guessing it was someone within Verizon up-stream, given they were thrown under the bus. They'd know who was to blame, would potentially resent their employer being linked, and could pass off their comment as a guess if pressured.
Long time user of Firefox on desktop, but recently moved away from Firefox on android after reading that it's "much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface".

> We all swapped instantly.

Certainly not "all". When chrome came out I tried it a few times over the years, but it had no observable advantage and was (and is) less configurable than firefox so it's clearly inferior on that front. I never switched.

I was well aware of the hype around it being faster, but was never able to observe any evidence in my usage/systems. And it was produced by an advertising company so that was always a huge minus.
Sure, that’s all true. So don’t use the C stack for parsing. It’s not difficult.
Man, I have such fond memories of VC6. It was such a great debugging experience. And MSDN was absolutely the best documentation website I've used. I think Microsoft's developer tools have always been high quality.
I'm lucky enough to be leading a brand new huge project in .NET Core 3 at work. I wouldn't consider it for personal stuff either, but I love that the Windows devs at work don't even need to know I'm doing my work on Linux. Something will probably come up eventually but, 4 months in, no one has brought it up.
Landfills burn it when they aren't equipped to power a generator with it. This also reduces the greenhouse gas impact, as the combustion byproduct is mostly plain CO2 and water. CO2 is also a greenhouse gas, but not as bad as methane.

Either way, it has to be collected and burned off.
Some users have posted in 2,3 to 7-8 years. Does this count? Do you mean to ask active users? That would be interesting to know for sure but not essential. What makes HN great is the quality of users’s input. If there were 10000 active users it would seem not very much but it’s quite a lot if you think about it...

Anyway, it’d be interesting to know the answer to this query
Windows will always be Windows, and other systems will be second-class citizens to it.

The new Microsoft makes money well beyond Windows: billing running containers and Linux (or Windows) VMs, GB/month of Azure Storage, GB/month of outbound traffic, Visual Studio professional subscriptions, and so on.

It's a clever strategy. Managers usually won't care/understand about containers, runtime environments, Active Directory, APIs, libraries, etc., but developers/devops folks do. By addressing devs, Microsoft is getting quite a competitive edge (no pun intended) in the operational part of enterprises.

Microsoft salespeople already address managers in terms of solutions in manager-lingo (synergies, CapEx/OpEx, yada, yada).
My startup ( Datahut) did the same a few months ago and it definitely helped the founders improve our relationship with the team members. Personally, for me it helped build a stronger relationship with those who don't directly work under me. The change is clearly visible before and after the retreat.
FWIW I segment by browsing with Chrome/Brave "profiles" and it's great. I can open a profile with no open windows from the Ctrl + Shift + m menu (along with guest windows), and context menus in all profiles then get an option to open a link in any open profile. The profiles are represented clearly on the filesystem, and can be copied.
To add a bit of anecdotal context to how significant the performance boost is, I didn't even have to look at the source code to know that this runs far, far faster than the original.
I've been on Linux the whole time, so I suppose the security worries weren't really something that came up for me.

Also have always been more cavalier about security than I probably should be.
Because they aren't stuffing thier necks with sugar, pounds of meat, and dairy? Perhaps the reason they aren't ruining our climate either.
To be fair, this seems not like a mainstream use case... and you can use WSL to read it if you really want to (which seems like an advanced use case anyway). Cross platform FAT32 is the standard and Microsoft made that open.
Was Gumbo used for parsing crawled pages for indexing reasons ? How was it used internally ? I presume they use some headless chrome like technology for most of that nowadays.
I think the pendulum has been swinging from Apple towards Microsoft for developer friendliness for some time now. This is definitely an active strategy on MS's part, and a huge misstep by Apple. Some key parts of the MS strategy:

- Embracing Linux. Beyond what's mentioned in the article, there's the Windows Subsystem for Linux, and the new Terminal app. Being able to run Ubuntu (or whichever distribution) natively on a windows machine, accessing the same file system, is huge for developers. The new Terminal app will make interacting with it even better.

- IDE dominance. Visual Studio (classic) combined with the .NET environment languages is very, very powerful. Visual Studio Code has taken web development by storm. A lot of what makes these two so powerful is Intellisense, which is extremely good at what it does. Compare this with XCode.

- Premium first party hardware. The Surface line of laptops / 2-in-1s / etc is at least as good as the recent Macbook Pros. They also innovated in an actually useful way (the detachable tablet on the Book), as compared to the developer-hostile "innovations" from Apple (replacing the escape key with a skinny phone, a universally reviled keyboard, etc)

I really have to give Nadella credit for the way this has all been orchestrated.
Yeah, I just went through that a few weeks ago. It's really user-hostile. It's like they know exactly who cares about that kind of thing, hide it perfectly from the users that don't, and then do a bunch of stuff to piss off the people that do.
We just got two cheapish windows laptops after many years of not using windows at all.

Pros:

* Keyboard quality (compared to macbooks)

* Low cost

* Good physical design if you choose the right brand (thinkpad carbon for example)

Cons:

* Dark patterns push you hard to connect your account to a skype/xbox/microsoft live/whatever they call it these days account

* License key hell is still a thing

* Schizophrenic split between screens that work on high DPI displays and screens that don't. Sometimes in the same application.

* Too many versions of windows with features arbitrarily disabled depending on the version you have. Neither of these two laptops can enabled bitlocker, and no windows linux subsystem. Is all the code for bitlocker and wsl on my disk? I bet it is, just routed around with an `if version` branch.

* Crapware pre-installed

* Fairly crashy. On one if you put it to sleep with a full screen app open it wakes up with a black screen. Needs a hard reboot every time.
To be fair BASIC was not much of a deal. The interpreter is just a REPL. Very basic at it, hence the name. The BASIC was not invented by MS: they replicated it. The real operating system part was done by computer manufacturers. For instance it was Dragon Data that brought the "kind of" OS routines in the Dragon32. Floppy disk managment, I/O, etc. MS just brought the REPL and ... bugs.
This thread makes it sound like it's impossible to make a medium scale application work without FKs constrains. I work on a commercial application that depends on relational relationships without FKs and the number of data corruption cases that we run into on regular basis is zero. Data integrity is handled at the application side, unexpected crashes are accounted for by heavy use of transactions, and everything works just fine.

To be clear, I'm not advocating against the use of foreign keys. But not using them is perfectly doable and not at all what this thread would have you believe.
Maybe it'd be more accurate to call it McCarthyist.
Have you placed your Taycan order?
What is Cypher?
It doesn't necessarily mean anything that deeply nested cases are rare. If you're making a general library, someone is going to throw user input at it, and some users will try to break your system. If it can avoid a crash in that case, it usually should.
Strongly agree. "People you may have blood feuds with"

“Breach remediation efforts were associated with deterioration in timeliness of care and patient outcomes,” the authors found. “Remediation activity may introduce changes that delay, complicate or disrupt health IT and patient care processes.”
> At some point, I left the project, and my co-founder hired an expensive consultant to review the system and provide feedback.

People get pretty unhappy if they hire a consultant and don't get some drastic change recommendations. "Everything is good" doesn't sit well when handing over cash.
Search for "safari extensions" in the App Store. (I apologize for an answer that sounds so much like "have you tried Googling for this," but that's honestly the best answer that I have. I didn't say Safari for iOS had great extensions available for it, but it does have extensions!)
The built-in ad blocker in Brave I think is missing some blacklists, but it should get 95% of the ads that make websites like that unusable.
This, this so much. The thing I hate the most about SQL is its declarative, deeply-nested syntax with alias declarations way inside. In a normal language you can't use a variable outside its declared scope, but in SQL it's a Wild West. Pervasive CTEs and CASE statements are the best way out of this mess, I find.
It'd be helpful, but not strictly necessary.

LMAO way to suck your own dick, IQ 200, product is pretty meh, stagnant for years.
You can say the same thing about electricity. Sometimes there are outages. People manage without it until it gets back up. Electricity is critical infrastructure, yes, but is not safety critical - if someone relies on a constant supply of electricity to keep people alive then they install a generator. If someone relies on a constant supply of Internet to keep people alive they need a slap in the face.
That feature is built into Chrome/Chromium, really quite well. On Brave unfortunately it is hard to block first-party scripts (from the current origin) by default, which is frustrating.

This is a great point, and on a second reading my comment did come off as a little insensitive -- will leave it up to give others context and make this a teachable moment for all of us to improve the level of discourse :)
> The justice system shouldn't label a person a criminal after the rehabilitation.

Except it doesn't usually provide rehabilitation. If it did, that would be great. But as it is, somebody released from prison really is at high risk of reoffending so people do need to be warned of their danger and protected from them. If you could find a way to actually rehabilitate criminals, then I'd agree, they'd become like normal people afterwards.

If it turns out that crime rates are unaffected by the reduced deterrent, then good. But it does have to actually keep crime down, not allow it to increase and I think that effectiveness of the justice system needs to be measured all the time not just set at the height of public frenzy then forgotten about like it is.

Then... Don't support them. The browser doesn't do anything weird where you support them by having it open, the programs you're talking about are opt-in.
Western society?

I wonder which venues such implicit denigration of non-eurocentric culture could get you banned from.
I’ll tell you this - it decreases it, especially for small teams. You have to do a lot of work to make your query engine actually good and reliable, and reporting is also a huge bear to deal with. You have to cache somewhere to get your queries anywhere near real-time, and it takes a lot of reinvention.
Yeah, Yarvin is a genuinely highly controversial figure who's one of the leaders in neo-monarchist and neo-reactionary philosophy. One could imagine there being controversies like this about him 20 years ago, before the current political climate. He knew what he was getting into.

The others are basically just people who were unfortunate enough to be saying the "wrong" thing in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I've been using 1Password and Save to Instapaper on iOS for years. I suppose one can argue those aren't "true" extensions, but I'm not sure it'd be a very good argument, given that they're functionally pretty close to their Mac counterparts.
I originally switched about a decade ago because Chrome was significantly more stable for me. I gave FF another shot when they released quantum. I experienced some stability issues at first, but I now consider it to be a superior browser.

I use Chrome and FF simultaneously at work because Google holds hangouts for ransom and that's our enterprise IM solution. Recently, FF seems to be much more stable than Chrome.

I also use FF on my smartphone and, IMO, it's a significantly better experience than Chrome.

The one feature I really miss from Chrome is the ability to easily switch between browser profiles. You can use the about:profiles page on Firefox for a similar effect, but it's nowhere near as seamless as Chrome.
