Yes, but the question of how a society treats someone who is responsible for an action is orthogonal to whether or not a society records and remembers that an action happened.

The right to be forgotten tries to alleviate the symptoms of the first question by addressing the second question.

It's similar to addressing homelessness by banning the reporting of homelessness. There are complex questions that need to lead to major societal change that can't be solved by removing data from the public record.

This is about history. Nowadays it's not a big deal as the browser engines and JS adapted.
Don’t you think that’s a bit of an overreaction? Maybe it cannot work on anything but OSX?
How often are the repos inaccessible? I've come around to the opinion that, unless you have a very specific use case, networking is an essential element of any (Linux) computer system. Once you have that, you can benefit from a world of free software, with updates all handled automatically.

Personally I find it almost magical that I can install and update almost any software I need with a short command.
QEMU does for its user-mode-only code, but not in JITted code. We have a little shim that directly executes a syscall instruction because we want to be able to wind the PC forward/backward across it to avoid a race condition with a signal arriving after the guest thinks it's made the syscall but before we've made the syscall in the host. But that's currently only done by linux-user; bsd-user should ideally have a similar mechanism but is basically dead/dying for lack of maintainers who care about the BSDs. In any case, that falls under "in the binary's text segment" rather than JIT output.

> Firefox develop a feature working on Mac OS only.

Looks to me like this is an experimental feature in Nightly. If it's highly system-dependent I can't blame them for testing the feedback as early as possible, before other systems are supported.

Question for Mozilla people here, if anyone sees it - is there a plan to bring this feature across all systems in time for regular Firefox release?
Money lending/financial services/credit is also usually net positive for a country, but there still are anti ursury laws.

There's something both comforting and absolutely terrifying that everyone has similar stories of software negligence.

I would love to see a whistle-blower company formed, where you could report software engineering malpractice, and be compensated and/or protected from being punished. Not necessarily a union, but an industry body that could verify your security concerns and either "out" a company for punishing you, or provide you x months of work and a reference to compensate the termination of your employment.
The feature needs OS-specific work, so one platform had to be first, and for whatever reason MacOS was chosen. It's more useful to have it working reasonably well on one platform, to get feedback on the feature, than to have it in a bad state on all platforms.

So, no need to over-react. If Mozilla decides it's worth shipping, they'll port it to other plaforms.
Just by virtue of them being big, it is still a problem. Also said started goal is less than used for consensus "current" climate change target by IPCC which is considered optimistic and nets some 3.5 C rise as per model.

2050 is too late as well. To make a big difference the timetable for that capacity would have to be 2030 and all the baseline would have to be hydro or nuclear. This is unlikely to happen even if they really want to do it.

Now consider that we also have USA to handle who are notorious about ignoring climate change targets...

Now, even 5 C is not a cataclysmic event but it will be very bad on a global scale - mostly water availability and farming, related price shocks and social upheaval.
Go to a Rails conference. Or a Node conference. Heck, even a Java conference. Half the people there have MacBooks, and usually more than half of the speakers.

At least far more than Apple's general market share.
It was already a bit flaky since last friday (although the status was still green then) - perhaps having to roll out two security updates yesterday pushed it over the edge...
> So the guy catching the ball tells the guy throwing the ball how to throw the ball?

Not quite. The catcher benefits from knowing the type of pitch in order to actually catch the ball, but only signals pitch options which are accepted or rejected by the pitcher.

They can also huddle if signs are being stolen, but this of course takes much longer (hence the prohibition on sign stealing).
I think the app has gotten a lot better recently. I am not so sure what you mean by confirming changes/done button - Usually things are saved directly without confirmation. However, I do agree that Notion is best used with a laptop/desktop. Many of the more sophisticated features are too cumbersome on mobile.

So, while it might be far less in the general market share, and even web dev share, it's more in the "kind of developer that goes to conferences/presets/etc" share...

Being a declassee from "really old wealth" - thank you WWI and the collapse of Austria Hungary - culture was a veneer to hide the hedonism. My great-grandmother, born in 1890, had stories about who would fund the ballet vs the opera. And it had mostly to do with foot fetishism.
I don't know. With the Ubers you don't have the network effects as strongly. As long as the ride if safe, you will pick up the cheapest for given comfort level and be done with it. Cost of switching for the user is 0. And cost of switching for drivers is probably not high since any serfdom agreement for freelancers can be struck down as invalid.
nop, it doesnt, that would require years of development to reach a level of madurity close to other solutions, but you can use clara.io or blender.
That did strike me as weird. Although they say "advanced computer vision software" so maybe they do some workaround and take the position from a camera rather than pre-calculations? Can it be the case that a few thousandths of a degree matters here and that's beyond our generalised model?
As an atheist, it cracks me up that The Bible might have a clue for this. A documentary movie on ketogenic diet brings up a quote about possession, which says something along the lines "This kind of demons can only be exorcised with a post."

The movie starring Jayne Seymour wasn't strictly a documentary, but a fictionalized story based on real events.
For future reference this "Voodoo" is referred to technically as electrical engineering ;)

Github stars are first and foremost bookmarks. Not expression of sentiment, not votes of quality, just bookmarks. You see an interesting repo, you star it, so that you can find it later.
I would be worried about this if the plan was for it to only support MacOS on mainline Firefox. This is Nightly, two release cycles ahead of regular Firefox, and support will be coming to other platforms: "porting it to other POSIX systems (Linux, Android) will be easier than Windows, due to the overlap with macOS" (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/We...)
This is a feature supported by many languages for improving readability of large numbers in code. See https://wiki.php.net/rfc/numeric_literal_separator.

...and presumably during more of his time, working for Google on Colab.
This comment doesn't even make sense, as with a little digging you could've found this[0] information yourself:

"Windows port work is underway, but is not yet working. The difficulties are in figuring out the set of system library APIs to intercept, in getting the memory management and dirty memory parts of the rewind infrastructure to work, and in handling the different graphics and IPC pathways on different platforms."

In fact, their documentation makes a specific call-out to TTT (Time-Travel Debugging) on Windows; so, I suspect that this is the API that they would like to use but are unable to do so at present (presumably because many of the features are still lacking in the API, which Microsoft could - and most probably would - enable).

Poor person on disability here. Medicare in the United States gives zero dollars for eye exams and glasses, so good on Australia for actually caring about their needy. The process of losing nearly everything I owned due to my work-acquired disability and trying to navigate the confusing and mentally arduous process of getting benefits has been every bit as bad as the disability itself. Getting benefits is so confusing that I normally just don't bother. I for one would much rather receive an eye exam and prescription instead of yet another confusing bureaucratic layer between myself and my health disguised as a "choice". I would also assume that whatever stipend the government would come up with, it would pale in value to the cost of the actual procedures involved. And thank you ajnin for speaking up for us.

Fighting whataboutism with whataboutism. Nice.
Developers in general are very influential.

Not only among our family and friends, but also because our choices create a lock-in effect due to the nature of our work.

When you use Chrome day in and out, your work is going to be optimized for Chrome and will work best on Chrome. This led to a Chrome-optimized web and while Google isn't necessarily to blame, we're back to the days of "works best in IExplorer 6".

Companies and products that attract developers will eventually attract regular people as well. You could say that this is a chicken and egg problem, developers following the users, but with few exceptions (like the iPhone) in my experience thus far it's usually the developers that come first.

---

It's worth mentioning that Chrome isn't popular only because of its technical excellence, but also because of Google's incessant marketing and bundling. But if we remember Microsoft and their declining browser market share, marketing and shoving your products down people's throats isn't enough. The product, especially if it's a platform, has to not suck and to be used by developers as well.

So yes, if other browsers like Firefox want to stay relevant and grow, a major requirement is to provide excellent developer tools.

Kudos to Mozilla for understanding that.

I actually agree with you (about propaganda, 5th column, etc), but the Russification of Crimea was against the Ottomans (Tartars), not endemic Ukrainians. The Russian Empire and Soviets actually have a lot in common with the USA in terms of displacing native populations, destroying cultures/languages, etc.

Regulation is always beneficial to esthablished companies.

GDPR, European VAT rules, data security, encryption requirements, etc. In the end all this just makes it harder for newcomers. Existing companies only need to adapt, newcomers need to comply (spend more time and money), before they even can enter the market and start competing.

Having a better position for future regulation is another benefit for being a first mover advantage.

All that looks to have happened is the developers of this single feature that is in the nightly build are using Macs. It is wholly reasonable for them to only support one platform at this point. If it is a good feature they, or other devs attracted by this preview will port it.

No, it's about the individual. Once we try to reintegrate somebody into the society they deserve a chance to live without being discriminated against by their past action (after they have served their punishment).

So I think it's entirely different than banning the reporting of homelessness. It's similar to deleting your past status as homeless once you've made if back from the streets (assuming such a register exists and should exist...).

It's also entirely different than banning statistics about murders, past murders or the trend of murdering people. These statistics are not about the individual.
I'd imagine that the "few thousandths of a degree" is something you'd get worse with AI than with a mathematical model. AI methods introduce noise; with an explicit model you can keep adding complexity directly, until it gets more accurate than your measuring system.

I suspect that the "AI" they mention is mostly photogrammetry - being able to tell the position and orientation of your mirrors from a video stream - in a feedback loop with motor controllers and temperature sensors. Use of cameras would make it close enough to "AI" that the buzzword would stick.

Here's the original proposal, with rationale.
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/numeric_literal_separator

TL;DR: supposedly better readability.
Extensions doesn't work. Initially they thought it was a great idea but after some backlash Mozilla decided to add some popular ones: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/5630
The best fit is probably the "Anti-fraud: Enforcing free content limits and detecting Sybil attacks" use case, since that is about preventing a single user from creating multiple accounts. (Although the content limit for a banned account is to stop it from producing more content, not consuming it.)

The official recommendation:

Use: Instance ID or GUID. On Android 8.0 (API level 26) and higher, SSAID is also an option, as it's scoped to the app-signing key.

Why this recommendation?

Using a GUID or Instance ID forces the user to reinstall the app in order to circumvent the content limits, which is a sufficient burden to deter most people. If this isn't sufficient protection, Android provides a DRM API, which can be used to limit access to content, includes a per-APK identifier, the Widevine ID.

So I guess best practice in this case means they should use DRM instead.

Show HN: What switching on React concurrent mode means for apps
Very interesting submission, thank you. Also interesting that he managed to travel from Europe to the US in 1941, as an European I sometimes forget that the US only got into the war in late 1941 and that you could still travel freely between Nazi Germany (and Nazi-occupied Europe) and the United States through 1940 and almost the entire year of 1941 (that is if you weren't a Jew, a Pole, a gay person, a Roma/Sinti person or any other such "undesirable", of course)
How do I avoid losses from poultry/egg trade?
Concurrent mode lets React render asynchroneously. It will batch updates and schedule render passes. If you give it an impossible amount of load, so many render requests that it must choke, it will start to manage these requests to establish a stable 60/fps by updating components virtually and letting them retain their visual state, using back buffers, etc.

It contrasts how web frameworks and even native frameworks work. Native has prioritizing and occlusion, but i know nothing that schedules as deeply as this.

The demo in particular schedules a react renderer for threejs (https://github.com/drcmda/react-three-fiber). But it applies to any other target as well.
I'll mention that they're all independent projects under rook's umbrella.
