My guess would be that it's policy-enforced and what Apple really has problems with is not browsers as a concept (dynamically loading and rendering data) but rather the execution engine that websites usually use (JavaScript) and seeing that as a too-large-to-review area where they want to avoid having vulnerabilities in applications published on App Store.

Or it's a anti-competitive move disguised as a "avoid vulnerabilities" but in reality they just really want to make sure iOS users keep using the one and only browser (Safari).

Hokusai: Old man, crazy to paint (2017)
I'm going to play Devil's Advocate and argue that screentime probably does have an impact on one's mental development. Training a child's eyes to focus for long periods of time on a singular object a foot away might not translate well to functioning in the real world. Especially if that singular object is designed and engineered to hook and keep your attention, via Dark Patterns or via Hollywood-style screenwriting with jumpcuts.
Ah, so it is all about the javascript engine? Ok I can see how that might put up some major technical barriers, but still it should be technically feasible to have the firefox rendering engine make use of the iOS javascript engine, no? Maybe it's not worth the effort of course. I am just trying to get a feel for what the barriers are.

Why business leaders are short sighted on AI
I don't know the details first hand, so take this with a grain of salt, but this is what I remember from talking to engineers who explored this possibility over the years:

You can't ship a native JIT (execute native code from the heap), I think it's enforced automatically by the App Store. So shipping your own JavaScript engine is out.

You can't download and interpret third-party code, I think this is enforced by human reviews, so shipping your own Web rendering stack is out.

You can use your own network stack with WebKit on top, which would let you offer some value to users like more advanced ad/tracker blocking.
I don't know the background to this but if I understand correctly, it kind of pivots on the probability that the mugger is indeed an Operator from the Seventh Dimension, that Pascal places at 1 in a quadrillion.

In that case, I have to wonder where this estimate comes from? I get that it's just an arbitrary number and that any number would do, as long as it wasn't zero, but that's exactly the point: why can't Pascal place the probability of his mugger being an Operator from the Seventh Dimension at zero?

Is there any evidence at all to support the mugger's claim? Is there any evidence at all that there is such a thing as a "Seventh Dimension" for which the only thing we know is that its "Operators" have magickal, utility-maximising powers?

And does the whole thing only work if we assume that the probability that there is such a place and such people is more than 0?

The Guardian has gone downhill in the last few years, just like the rest of UK mainstream news reporting. They have rolled over to do whatever the Government wants not reporting - take Assange for example.

Their coverage is practically non-existent.

I used to buy The Guardian every day, then I subscribed digitally. And then when their reporting slid downhill, I stopped subscribing. I still read it - but block their data scraping scripts and all ads. They are not worth supporting IMO.

>It takes some amount of privilege to take part in the conversation that he describes. A person needs literacy and free time, for starters

Well, duh. We don't consider someone competent in something if they don't have basic skills and put the hours in to study/try it. So why would art criticism (whether professionally or to have a "good taste" as a consumer of art) be different?

If it's a privilege, it's the same kind of privilege required to be anything: a cook, a runner, a historian, a programmer, etc. Yes, you need to have time to do those things, and for most you also need literacy. Heck, you also need the same time and literacy to be an musician, a novelist, etc -- so it only makes sense it would need time to understand the craft and recognize good ones.

Someone working their ass off because they're poor, might never be able to e.g. read enough books, study how the genres work, read about their history, and ultimate develop a good taste in literature.

But that's a problem we should fix at the equality/free time front. Not a problem with having a taste in art requirements being "snobbish".

GopherCon 2019: Ron Evans – Small Is Going Big: Go on Microcontrollers
I feel like I've seen this particular comment a million times. Here's the recap:

Facile dismissal, no content.
I created Tulipan (née Tulips) as webappification of an excel sheet that I used to update my cryptocurrency portfolio balances.

I have used Tulipan for over a year now and find it perfect for my own requirement but have not really managed to get many others to use it. Maybe there are issues discouraging others.

The front page is perhaps not clear enough as a landing page.

I tried Google Adwords but my whole account suspended immediately for still unknown reasons.

I tried Microsofts Bing ads but that was just an expensive experience with no conversion.

I might try Coinmarketcap ads but worried it is very expensive.
I have a macbook (purchased this summer) as well as a dell inspiron running linux (for the past couple years). Coming from Windows, Linux felt like a relief from many headaches. No bloat (I can't overstate this), no weird UI that couldn't decide whether the device was a tablet or laptop or desktop, programs opening right after I'd click on them, customization, etc.

There will be cases where the trade-offs involved for a specific user mean Linux isn't really a viable option. For some, there are different trade-offs that make Linux an attractive choice.

-------

Personal note: Even OS X seems bloated at times to me, and I don't mean the pre-installed packages. I mean things like the number of options for some menu bar selections. Also, for pdf viewing out of the box viewers for many Linux distros win hands down compared to Adobe (if you are simply looking to read pdfs). In 'utility' programs like Adobe, you might have 200+ things you can choose to do. With a Linux viewer you get like 5-10.

Gaming and lack of Office are the primary downsides. Steam mitigates the first to a non-trivial degree. If Google would just improve the robustness of Docs and Sheets a bit more, then some of the of more robust and beginner-friendly distros would (I bet) get some more traction.

I like coding on my Mac, and the experience of using OS X to be best described as "solid". I miss spending most of my time on Linux though.
> That capital structure is more like an airline than Google. Not something Wall St rewards.

This is the part we are disconnected on. It is the hardest part to guess about.

If the accounting works out like an airline, I agree with you that costs will remain high and will not change transportation significantly.

However, unlike an airline, the variable cost per ride is low. The way I see it, the economics will work out more like a data center (relative to an airline). Which is something Wall St does reward.
Mozilla really has a big challenge. It is hard to compete with such powerful companies, creating a sustainable business with their mission without succumbing to ads or stopping to protect user privacy. It looks like an unfair game.

I like the Brave business model. I wish to have the same with Firefox.
Python 2's "str" is a bytestring. All of those are bytestrings in Python 2 as they should be. Python 3 makes them text and suddenly i can not output data over stdout anymore without extra steps of switching the mode of stdout from some arbitrary text default.

TAE: it was explained to them 20 years ago why their idea didn't work, even theoretically.

General Fusion: acoustic compression was shown to be unworkable, so they pivoted to a slower scheme with a central conductor down the middle of the chamber. Good luck getting that conductor to survive 100T magnetic fields and orders of magnitude higher neutron loading than in conventional reactor concepts.

Commonwealth and TE: overall volumetric power density of their concepts will be very poor compared to fission reactors, even if every other problem is avoided.

LPP: there is a serious disconnect between accomplishment and hype. Also, pulsed approaches with very short bursts of fusion output make wall engineering much harder, and it's already very hard in continuous fusion reactor concepts.

The only one I cannot immediately dismiss is Helion, although that may be because I know less about them. The goal of direct conversion is admirable if they want to have a chance of being cheaper than fission, but the demands on that seem formidable. The high current, high voltage, billion reps over the lifetime of the reactor switching requirements seem extreme.

I hope to reopen my Freelancer account
I'm Wang Yong from China and my account was closed 3 day ago and I send formal request to Freelancer Stuff Team twice but I'm still didn't get any messages from them.
So i decide to write informing content with detail information about my experience and my working status in Freelancer.com.

I started work in Freelancer.com from June, 2019 and finish 20+ jobs successfully recently. I always work honesty and keep working and communicate in Freelancer.com
Sometimes, Clients ask me to speak outside but I always advise them to discuss in Freelancer.com. During those days, I didn't get any disputes on projects and didn't get any warning from Freelancer Stuffs.
I saw lots of clients who ask to chat outside in this platform and lots of spam users who posts invalid projects. To be honesty, It's really hard to find clients but I'm hard working because it's my new life and it makes me happy.

Actually, I have personal body problems so I can't do normal job like other guys. One of my friend suggest me to work remotely in Freelancer.com and I accept his offer to join here. In those months, Freelancer.com is become part of my life and I can share my earning to improve my health problem. It really helps me and my life is turn to getting better and better. I always happy when i work in Freelancer.com and I can spear my earning for my health care and family.

Suddenly, Those of hope is over and I'm frustrated because my account is closed.
I have lots of funds in my Freelancer account and I was expected to pay my health care BUT all my schedule and life is going to be unexpectedly over.

I hope your team think carefully about my issue and reopen my Freelancer account for humanity and my life.
As i said before, I always honesty work in Freelancer.com and I didn't do any invalid work or activity for Freelancer Terms and Polices and TOS.
I continuously looking to recover my Freelancer account and don't want waste 1200$ of my hard-work earning.

I have a feeling that modern society doesn't motivate scientistis and mathematicians enough. It's easier and better-paid to do some marketing, big data or game industry job. Tech startups are raising millions to develop remotely controlled lightbulbs or multiplier AR chess games and schools are lowering requirements for students to pass as politicians want to show the increasing number of graduates.
Winamp used a decimal numbering scheme. Version 5.6 is followed by 5.601, then 5.62. There's also the obligatory v1.6 < v1.666 < v1.7 version numbering of Doom.

I think Windows 3.1 to 3.11 was another example of decimal version numbering, instead of calling it v3.1.1.
I think so, but couldn’t happiness be the cause of better sleep?

I’ve been using utility classes for a few years now. Some thoughts I’ve come up with:

For content heavy sites like ecommerce/marketing/blogs, I use pretty much utility classes exclusively. There usually isn’t much reuse of UI components on these types of sites so maintenance is much simpler compared to semantic classes. With semantic classes you’ll have a lot of one off styles.

I actually really enjoy writing sites like these since I can code a site start to finish without touching any CSS files. Using utility classes I probably finish 25%-50% faster than if I were to use semantic classes.

On more web app type things like admin panels, I use a mix of mostly semantic classes and a few utility classes. I only use utilities to make sure there aren’t a million different padding/margin/font size values.

In the earlier days of React I tried using all utility classes and it just felt like there was too much going on in the JSX. If you use utility classes, you know the class attribute can get pretty long - sometimes needing to be broken into 2 lines. The CSS tooling with Webpack has come a long way and solves a lot of the problems that all the utility class frameworks were trying to solve around 2015.

It's definitely possible to survive without owning a car in multiple cities in the US, such as New York City or San Francisco. Other Western cities such as Paris, London, Zurich also can support car free lifestyles.

Looking at Asia, it's definitely possible not to own a car in Japan, and the ridership numbers for the Tokyo trains show this. Even rural areas have some kind of public transportation, either through trains or local buses.
It can be but it would require me to learn about software architecture for that, for designing a proper API, which is a tough job for my stupid brain, XD
If you set the probability at zero, you won't be convinced when they actually are an operator from the seventh dimension. That is to say, you run into the opposite problem of being Pascal's Muggle [1].

> A wind begins to blow about the alley, whipping the Mugger's loose clothes about him as they shift from ill-fitting shirt and jeans into robes of infinite blackness, within whose depths tiny galaxies and stranger things seem to twinkle. In the sky above, a gap edged by blue fire opens with a horrendous tearing sound - you can hear people on the nearby street yelling in sudden shock and terror, implying that they can see it too - and displays the image of the Mugger himself, wearing the same robes that now adorn his body, seated before a keyboard and a monitor.

> [...] "Unfortunately, you haven't offered me enough evidence," you explain.
> In other words, in the predigital era, when fonts were fixed-width, setting a period or comma outside the quotation marks would have created an unsightly gap:

That ... doesn't make sense. Most fonts were (and are) proportional, even in the predigital era.

Simple example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baskerville from the 1750s.

Or, Linotype from the late 1800s, used proportional fonts. (Quick search brought me to https://www.circuitousroot.com/artifice/letters/press/compli... "The width of each channel in a Linotype magazine is fixed (widths vary from channel to channel; the width of a channel expected to carry 'W' is greater than that of one expected to carry 'l').")

Interesting I had not heard of Dynamicland previously. The posted project though reminds me a bit of reacTable [1] although the latter is targetted to music media creation. It's a 'product' now, I guess, but it started off as a research project published in early 2000s. I gather that Dynamicland goes back quite a bit further which is interesting.

In our group we wanted to see how dead easy it would be to build an interactive projection system, so we did it.. just mounted a projector and a camera above a table [2] -- can't believe it's already been 10 years since then. It was surprisingly simple -- we didn't bother with AR tags, just used silhouettes via simple video processing as inputs to vector field operations to generate movement and influence physics simulations and audio-generating algorithms. The advantage being that you literally just stick your hand in there and something happens, it was great for kids. But building the whole system was quite easy too, it would make a great "science project" for the right age.

Oh, another fun "tangible computing" project from the same era was "BeatBearing", dug up the video here... [3]

There's a lot you can do with a simple camera!

AFAIK Firefox is not doing a full rewrite but incremental refactoring then attempting to swap components.

The unfortunate truth is that writing a browser is almost impossible because of the complexity, IMO we need a new version of the web that breaks compatibility, make everything strict(no longer ignore errors and guess a fix for them) no more 12 ways to center an element , for the legacy web we can use the existing engines
You can easily emulate break with conditional variable.

> This incident caused the GitLab.com service to be unavailable for many hours. We also lost some production data that we were eventually unable to recover. Specifically, we lost modifications to database data such as projects, comments, user accounts, issues and snippets, that took place between 17:20 and 00:00 UTC on January 31. Our best estimate is that it affected roughly 5,000 projects, 5,000 comments and 700 new user accounts.

Yes, most incidents from most companies don’t result in this kind of data loss, which is why GitLab stood out.
If you believe Elon Musk the Model 3 currently sold for $50-60k USD will be worth $100k USD as a robotaxi. For us in 2019 it really is hard to imagine the worth of a car that is used 99% of the time rather than parked 95% of the time.

When robotaxis have been real for a decade, car manufacturers will build and run robotaxi fleets.

Unlike today, vertical integration of manufacturing, maintenance, recycling and operating the fleet of cars creates a lot of consistent demand and can bring significant economic advantages even more than Musk’s current estimate.

Even the car manufacturers goals change. Rather than optimizing to sell cars (have them degrade and sell more), cars will be optimized for durability, maximum materials reuse, lowest variable cost per ride, ergonomic rides.

Right. The whole point of Oberon is being as simple as possible. If you need all the fancy stuff introduced with Oberon-2 or Active Oberon (which are not the same lange as the one designed by Wirth) then there are better alternatives, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Pascal, or Java, or C#.
The more likely explanation is that people got tired of Assange's story and so the articles didn't get the clicks to justify covering them any more. The Guardian can get more clicks with a steady drip of vegan opinion pieces, stories laughing at Tories and the dreadfulness of brexit so that's what they'll do.

Same as the Telegraph will feed its readers "the glory of Boris", "forwards unto brexit" and "Good lord look what Corbyn said today, he's a dreadful little man isn't he?"

News organisations are slaves to their audiences and will just produce what their audiences want.

Entrepreneuring is a 'hit' business. For every 1 success there will be 1.000's failures. It's the 20xx equivalent of late last century's starting a band.

It's fine trying out some long-shots, and doing this while you have no constraints beyond a couch to crash on and your next cup of ramen is far easier than doing so when you have kids and a mortgage, so go for it.

That said, should we 'urge' anyone into this lifestyle? No, not anymore than we should condemn some for trying it.
