It's great to see Firefox improving constantly. Especially since Chrome is unusable on MacOS Catalina for many users atm.
Vernor Vinge's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbows_End was quite prescient on this point, describing a world where the Internet largely becomes useless due to infinite disinformation crowding out the real.
I don't think any of those are direct causes, the day to day realities of the world trend harsher as we look back at older generations.

I will grant that they are indirect causes, in that the way adults process the issues among themselves inadvertently create the society that the young are growing up in.
Some 'techies' around here actually understand that keys don't represent identities.
Historically? Maybe a little, yeah, but even at ridiculous rate of, say, 2% annual fees, you're just not looking at the same sort of massive capital losses you could expect following a major corporate insolvency...

And more and more pension funds offer low-fee index funds than ever before. Praise Vanguard.
The idea is an employee’s pension must be fully funded before they leave and then handled by a 3rd party. At that point the company could dissolve without impacting retired workers.

After the recent missteps by Chrome (mangling the display of URLs), I decided to switch to Firefox and DuckDuckGo a few months ago and I was pleasantly surprised at how fast Firefox is these days than what I found it to be 10 years ago.

While I still consider DuckDuckGo to be in the "not bad" category, Firefox is in the "seriously awesome" category now.

If you have been away from Firefox for a while like me, give it another shot. It won't disappoint you for sure.

Depends how much money you can invest right now, how much time you have to spend, and how quickly you need to start hitting that $2000 mark.

Need it now? Check out Craigslist gigs (help with moving, quick jobs, website help), or try flipping thrift store and eBay stuff. Pros: Quick, no skills needed. Cons: Unreliable and more time consuming.

Need it reliably? Work on a business and work your ass off in your spare time. Pros: Easy to make more than $2000/mo if it goes well. Cons: Will take a lot of time and effort to maybe work out for you.

Alternatively, invest in a property. Pros: Easy $2000/mo through rent. Cons: Lots of upfront investment & research needed to not screw yourself over as a property manager.

Personally I'm in a similar situation and currently selling on eBay and running a side business. Been at it ~6 months and make 200-400/mo on top of my salary, but looking to ramp up the business more this year.

Edit: One option I overlooked of course is investing. The safer the investment, the more up-front capital you'll need and nothing is truly 100% safe. Gamble on options but be prepared to lose everything, if you really need something immediately.
If that kind of thing worries you, then stick with plant-based whole foods and wild fish.

Plenty of humans have had low, or no, animal products in their diet "forever." You don't need a fancy new food from Silicon Valley to avoid meat.
Yeah true. I thought about this a lot and I think it is an expression of some inner nihilism and a self-destructive habit. By trying to focus on something creative and doing a good job, I can put the nihilism at bay and thus my desire to self-destruct through drinking is reduced.

But surely this also applies to a Rust program that only uses safe code but it's compiled with the right compiler switches that is allowed to use SIMD instructions?
Other language do it completely differently, there is no such thing as async in Go since the paradigm is blocking from a programmer perspective.

"The problem with giving cash is that it incentivizes them to continue to panhandle, even if there are other ways they could be spending their time that are more beneficial for them. Maybe they could be waiting in a government office to sort out a benefits issue, or they could be relaxing indoors in a shelter or church, but they feel like they need to sit outside because if they don't they're losing income."

Is this actually true?

1) Why would relaxing indoors be beneficial compared to not earning income? Isn't the whole point in society that lazing around is a bad thing and the poor should work hard to try and get themselves to a better space, which requires money? In the case of the homeless it's public humiliation in exchange for spare change.

2) What if they did, and then they have to wait several months for a response from the gov't (eg. disability)?

Not only can't they catch up, but the feature gap keeps increasing.
Most of the guis are crap because everybody who builds them thinks that a GUI should just be a more or less a visual representation of the command line.
I think those are pretty practical approaches.

But it sounds as if the cost of changing the hash algorithm is high. What are the impacts of this change? How many things would break if git just changed the algorithm with each new release? Does git assume that the hash algorithm is statically given to be SHA-1 or are there qualifiers on which algorithm is enabled/permitted/configured?

> Another thing Git does not and cannot even attempt to do - file locking.

That's a seriously hard problem for a DVCS if you're serious about the "D".

This topic turned into [the single longest thread in the history of the Fossil forum](https://www.fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/2afc32b1ab) because it drags in the CAP theorem and all of the problems people run into when they try to have all three of C, A, and P at the same time.

To the extent that Fossil based projects are usually more centralized than Git ones, Fossil has a better chance of solving this, but I'm still not holding my breath that Fossil will get what a person would naively understand as file locking any time soon.

> Word documents (documentation), Photoshop files (source of graphics), PNGs (icons in webapps), and so on.

You want to avoid putting such things into a VCS anyway, because it [bloats the repo size](https://fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/image-format-vs-...). I wrote that article in the context of Fossil, but its key result would replicate just as well under Git or anything else that doesn't do some serious magic to avoid the key problem here.

Instead of Word files, check in Markdown or [FODT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument_technical_specifi...). (Flat XML OpenDocument Text.) Or with Fossil, put the doc in the wiki.

Instead of PNG, check in BMP, uncompressed TIFF, etc., then "build" the PNG as part of your app's regular build process.

This has the side benefit that when you later change your mind on the parameters for the final delivered PNGs, you can just adjust the build script, not check in a whole new set of PNGs. My current web app has several such versions: 8-bit paletted versions from back before IE could handle 24-bit PNG, then matted 24-bit PNGs from the days when IE couldn't handle transparency in PNG, and finally the current alpha-blended 24-bit PNGs. It'd have been better if I'd checked in TIFF originals and built deliverable PNGs at each step.

Probably because they (me too) are viewing it as an experience in itself or as a momentary escape. When you have 2-3, it's just an enhancement of whatever you are doing. When you have 10, it's an experience in and of itself. You are drunk and "going crazy". Maybe also, some people were condition in college to "go hard" and that's what they associate alcohol with deep down.
what do you mean by the standard map? The one before you press "draw the height map"? Or is there another one I'm missing.

If it is that map then the point is that it looks way better with the height map as you can actually visualize the height of mountain range relative to others. This isn't really discernible with the original map.

Git is a complex tool because it’s tackling a complex problem. I don’t see a way of making it “easier” without massively reducing what it can do. It’s like saying we should reduce a formula one car so people can use it without reading up on it, etc.

If something happens once, it happens. If something happens multiple times then it means you’re not evaluating why it occurred in the first place and learning from it. No tool in the world can solve this problem because it’s not a problem with the tool, rather the user.

Git is really not so hard, but it requires a little reading.

Actually you are making exactly the mistake that this change is intended to avoid. The distinction between /dev/random and /dev/urandom makes it appear that /dev/urandom is inferior and /dev/random is the "true" random number generator but that isn't the case. They are equally good since they both wait for an initial amount of entropy and receive additional entropy from the OS even after boot. Additional entropy does make the RNG more secure [0] but reusing existing entropy doesn't make your random numbers less secure because they were created from an unpredictable source.

[0] Let's say you plug in a USB based hardware RNG, after booting. You turn a software entropy source on, after booting. /dev/random would immediately take advantage of the RNG. Already opened /dev/urandom streams wouldn't, until they are closed. (For how many people is this a critical feature?)
"covered by insurance" doesn't mean much if you're still billed $10k or more after insurance.

My father has decent insurance as a retiree and still got billed for an ambulance ride after he had complications following a jaw surgery.

I've seen a bunch of anecdotal stories about how it's cheaper for someone on the west coast to fly to Korea, or down to Mexico, for non-critical surgeries, spend a week recovering, and then fly home.
Op here! I started working on this project a year ago in a attempt to bring myself some sanity. Reading the news nowadays is a real struggle for me because of all of the sensational, non-news, click-bait, and fluff that is stuffed in to try and entice readers to click on a story.

I'll get around to open sourcing the whole project and I'll write a proper blog post about the process I went through to build this, but for now I'm looking for feedback on whether people here think this tool is personally useful or not.

How well would Premiere or Photoshop run on ARM? How long would it take to rewrite these apps to run natively (i.e. with acceptable performance) on an ARM platform? Until you can do video/photo/audio editing faster w/ ARM using existing software products, I do not see it being viable as a replacement for x86 in any of Apple's higher-end products. Perhaps ARM is included for sake of mobile development, but with 32+ modern x86 cores you could just as well emulate ARM and barely feel any overhead.

Sure, there are a lot of neat tricks ARM can do with special instructions and hardware accelerators in very well controlled use cases. But, for the average creative professional who doesnt have time or patience to play with hyper-optimizing their workflow, having an x86 monster that can chew through any arbitrary workload (optimized or otherwise) is going to provide the best experience for the foreseeable future.

>A defined-contribution pension plan, where you end up actually owning the assets in question

Assuming of course that you have actually saved over time and have picked appropriate assets to invest in.

Defined benefit plans have their problems--both the funding and the fact that they were historically designed around long-term employment at a single organization. But they do have the virtue of being a retirement income stream that requires no action on an employee's part.

ADDED:
>no one will shrink your pension in bankruptcy

Except the market depending upon where you have invested your money
Unless all the scientists do is theorectical work, you're going to need a lot more than that to pay for equipment, materials and other resources required to actually do some experiments, develop poc's etc.
I’d say objectively safer. Google is getting better at reconciling content split across subdomains as coming from a common source. Some Google experts have called it pretty much a solved problem, but I don’t think the data plays that out just yet. I do believe there will soon be a time that subdomain vs subfolder won’t matter for SEO. Just not quite there yet.
If you’re just going to blat and reclone, then you may as well use a folder system instead of git.

I see no reason git needs to be changed in order to cater to people who refuse to read basic documentation or learn from their mistakes.
You are trying to fill a basic human need, which is simply beeing seen by others. What could alleviate some of this pain is simple social connection. I was always reading about how important it is and kind of blew it off, but as I get older I'm understanding how important it is to our well being. Reach out and make connections. Get coffee with a friend who listens to you. Find a hobby where you are interacting with people in meatspace. This may even lead to finding deeper purpose in ways you may not have expected.
At least with my personal dietary changes over the last few years, I've started eating more cheese but putting less "milk" in my coffee.

Now that I telecommute, it's very hard for me to keep milk around for just coffee. Non-dairy milk keeps better in the refrigerator.

(But, when I'm at a coffee shop or in an office, I use real milk. It moves fast enough that it won't go bad.)
That’s not luck, though. That’s simply being prepared for a downturn.

Being prepared is important, for sure, but if being prepared always or even usually meant desired outcomes in business, our world would look much different than it does now.
I had the opposite experience growing up poor (although knew plenty of people who feel as you did). For me, I constantly felt that my situation was "wrong" and didn't fit me. I didn't want to eat frozen food or wear K-Mart sneakers, I thought I deserved better. It pushed me to fight hard to achieve what I considered a reasonable standard of living. Had I taken the advice or followed in the footsteps of those around me, it never would have happened. Instead I focused on my love of computers (even if it existed more in my head than real life since we couldn't afford one for a long time). That focused carried me out of poverty and then some.

I'm convinced some subset of poor people that are high achievers will always reject their environment and refuse to settle.
I use the Brave browser now, and I have no interest in going back to Firefox or Chrome at this point.

What is the pip window?
The wsj does seem to not cater as much to opinion pieces or clickbait titles. I guess that's what I was asking. I get plenty of opinions and editorials for free these days, I don't want to pay for that even if I agree with them. I miss the outlets that seemed to focus on straight up news.

We had a local paper in my area, The Western Star, that ran for 206 years. It was the last source that I was really dedicated to, because I cared a lot more about local.

"would not pursue anything unless he knew people cared about it"

This one struck me as a bit odd. I don't see a problem with being motivated by whether you are creating value for other people.

"Should I learn to make pasta from scratch?"

That's fine if someone wants to do that, but I hold higher admiration for people who have some drive to make the world better, even in fairly small ways, rather than spending all their time on something so trivial.

And yeah, trying to earn my admiration isn't what you should probably be doing. But doing something that is admirable? That's a good thing. To me, anyway.

Many of us will experience a few lucky opportunities during our lifetimes but, sometimes, we only see these chances with the benefit of hindsight.
It's also good marketing for regular users. When Chrome introduced this versioning style every other software was stuck in minor versions for years. Regular users started assuming that Chrome must be better since it gets major versions constantly. I don't mind either option but I would love to see some sort of date based version in there, like Firefox 72 (20.01).
The changelog is shorter because they have changed to a more frequent release schedule, to once every 4 weeks from once every 6-8 weeks.
