Most of them are merely abstraction layers for capabilities the browsers already provide. Rarely do they offer anything more. The big selling point is that they help organize the logic in a declarative way or automate a bunch of tiresome tasks that wouldn’t be there in the first place had you not used a mountain of tooling.

There are only 2 APIs in the browser: DOM and the web APIs. As far as writing cohesive logic that does wonderful things that’s on you. Most JS developers would rather it not be on them and instead adopt an Invented Here Syndrome mentality. The fear of writing any original code is very real.

I don't understand why Google and some other tech companies use their users as involuntary, unpaid guinea pigs. No consent. No opt-out.

What's the motivation? Is it simple laziness because they don't want to deal with wetware? Is it afraid that if people knew what was happening they wouldn't be happy? Google has eighty brazillion employees it can test new features on.

Probably blueberries or bilberries.

Quote from some random search result[1]:

Huckleberries are edible and quite tasty. The small, round berries resemble blueberries. In fact, in some parts of the United States, huckleberries might be called blueberries and blueberries might be called huckleberries. They're not the same fruit, though.

I suppose for the same reason classical fairy-tales do the same. My best guess would be some desire to relate the external world to internal experiences.

It's also an important didactic method in pedagogy. You might call it a form of "Student-centered learning", where a significant effort is made to meet the student where they are. Their desires and experiences should guide them to understand the external world through themselves.

Yup, that's one of the issues you'll get with interlinked accounts; in this case, Whatsapp backs up / stores photos automatically to your phone's photo gallery, and said photo gallery is automatically synchronized with the cloud.

I don't know exactly what's going on with your wife's / your father-in-law's accounts though, are they sharing Google accounts, photo albums, or were the photos shared in the same whatsapp group?
DNC Blames 'Coding Issue' for Lack of Iowa Caucus Results
> It's up to each party to set the rules on how delegates can be selected, including time, place, and manner.

It seems that Iowa chose both, the time and the manner, itself[1]:

> Because Iowa had a complex process of precinct caucuses, county conventions, district conventions, and a state convention, they chose to start early. In 1972, Iowa was the first state to hold its Democratic caucus, and it had the first Republican caucus four years later.

> Under Iowa law, political parties are required to hold caucuses every two years to select delegates to county conventions and party committees.

And each party must respect the laws of the state.

> BLAKE is faster when using software to perform the hash

Is BLAKE 3 still faster than sha-256 when using the cpu speciliazed instructions? I think most modern desktop CPUs has built-in instructions for SHA256.

I’m guessing when people compare BLAKE 3 to SHA 256 they’re comparing software to software, but this wouldn’t be the case in reality?

How would that even work on the API level efficiency given how S3 is architected? It’s clear given their optimization techniques they tell you to use that S3 is optimized for prefix style searching. That’s all they offer from the web console, the cli or the SDKs.

It would amount to retrieving everything from the S3 conceptual “index database” and doing a non optimized sort when everything is architected to search based on the key and a key prefix.

It’s far more efficient to let the client get a subset by prefix (ie “folder”) and sort/filter by other meta data client side.
It used to, but this is no longer the case:

Just because they're a non-profit doesn't mean execs should be paid far below market rates.
I can give you a couple suggestions from my own experience, of course take them with a lot of salt... Unless you're very studious, start with an environment where French is spoken at you and you occasionally have to speak back, with comprehension routinely above 80%. Typically this means a classroom unless you have or are confident with other social engagements...

I did 5 years of French throughout junior and high school. I didn't quite reach fluency, but over a decade later without any further instruction I can still read a good amount, absorb new vocabulary quickly (and retain it pretty well -- I just wish I knew about Anki back then), and understand well-enunciated/slower speaking people. (Favorite recent example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLsxYlTA9Ds He's basically talking about why people find it easy to understand him vs. some random Parisian.) I've forgotten some of the grammar but if I ever get motivated to refresh that I'd go through the book we used in the final year again and make an Anki deck. (https://www.amazon.com/Fois-Pour-Toutes-Hale-Sturges/dp/0801... -- Une Fois Pour Totes. If you can reach the level by whatever means where you can start a feedback loop of teaching yourself more within the target language, I think it helps a lot. Even using a French-to-French dictionary, rather than English-to-French.)

In contrast to French I've been lazily teaching myself Japanese over the past few years, but I haven't been diligent about it and thus my conversational ability is still basically 0, my vocab is limited (though recently expanding quicker as I'm able to pick out more and more words/phrases from media), and my kanji count is only ~500 out of 2000. With more diligence I think I have enough books and methods to synthesize them that I could achieve similar proficiency as my current level of French even without a classroom environment to test it in, but I'm also fighting prioritization. If it were higher priority I think I'd try and enroll in a community college class or something just to get a boost on speaking with immediate teacher feedback.

TLDR: As far as free tools go, Anki is great for any language, especially when you build the decks yourself. (I like the existing "french core 3k" deck as it includes audio for its sentences, but unless you already have a basic understanding of French grammar, I think it might be too much to start with.)

It's not odd at all. It's what the folks at Mozilla do. They jump in to every thread to push Firefox and Rust and make people think it's more widely used/better than it is.
Don’t feel too bad. I bought Tesla at 17, Facebook at 35 and Microsoft as Satya Nadella was taking over and then sold them all early and burned that cash on an ill advised hardware startup.

It all seemed reasonable at the time. Maybe we’ll be patient and do better this decade.

> Languages are systems of thinking as much as they are systems of communication. Some thoughts only make sense in a given language!

This sounds like the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis [1], and it's been refuted, by and large. There's a good pop-sci book examining it [2], and it concludes that there is really only instance where language clearly influences world view, and that is that in the Guugu Yimithirr languages: people don't use left, right, front, back, but the cardinal directions north, south, east, west (as in, "there's an ant on your western leg"), and that does appear to give them a superior sense of direction.

Do NOT use Kubernetes unless you really, really need a lot of flexibility in rapidly scaling up, and occasionally scaling down your services.

If you do need that capability, Kubernetes is invaluable.

If you don't, plain old Docker and Ansible is a much better combination. Kubernetes adds a lot of complexity that doesn't pay for itself if you don't really need that much flexibility.

> Imagine an alternative 1987. IBM never bothered to enter the microcomputer market. Apple has yet to launch the Macintosh. A new generation of 16-bit computers aimed at people who grew up with 8-bit machines is on sale. The IIGS from Apple, the Amiga from Atari, the C65 from Commodore. But the MSX Turbo-R is still in development. There’s a small window of opportunity for another manufacturer to launch a 16-bit, Z80 instruction set compatible machine that can run Microsoft BASIC programs. The Chloe Corporation aims to take 8080 and Z80 users into the 16-bit era with the new Chloe 280SE.

I'm afraid you're missing the people Sandstorm is targeted at. People who do want a server, and a variety of services on that server, and the ability to move the server to a hoster or local metal, but have no desire, and thanks to Sandstorm no need, to acquire the skills you are referring to. People for which a server is in support of their workflows, not a goal in itself.

You're right, a Dockerized alternative might be as good or better. But until such a platform exists (I do not count Cloudron because it's closed source now), it is not viable for the people Sandstorm is targeting.

This is a neat one. In my current project, I created a (non-lazy) pipe function that take a value and a bunch of functions, composes the functions, and applies the value.

pipe(2, add(2), square, n => n + 7) // -> 23

Nothing fancy but comes in handy at times.

What I really miss is something like the |> from Elixir. Maybe it's the same as F#, I don't know, but it automatically performs partial application, so that:

Enum.filter([1, 2, 3, 4], fn n -> n % 2 == 0 end)

also works like:

[1, 2, 3, 4] |> Enum.filter(fn n -> n % 2 == 0 end)
With that said, one can simply filter out these analytics with a c:\Windows\Systems32\Drivers\etc\hosts -> pointing to 0.0.0.0 or PiHole solution (https://pi-hole.net/), yes?

I mean, this is probably not the holistic solution, but this is why we have a firewall, vpn, antivirus, filters to just keep DNS in check, yes?

Donations go to Mozilla "the non-profit organization" rather than Mozilla "the corporation".

Mozilla (the corporation) has the typical/bad corporate structures and ridiculous executive compensations. Mozilla (the corporation) had the layoffs. Mozilla (the corporation) bought Pocket with money that comes from deals with search engines.

That being said, though...

So I pay for Pocket Premium as it is wholly owned by Mozilla as a way of diversifying their income away from search and donations. I like and use pocket and get something in exchange for my money (which makes me more likely to keep a rolling payment going on). II know it’s not open source, but tbh that doesn’t hugely bother me given that Firefox itself is.

Does anyone object to this indirect way of funding Firefox? Does it cause indirect harm by making them prioritise pocket over Firefox?

Tesla is selling cards today, Waymo is not. Tesla's cars are good-enough for most of the buyers so Waymo's technical superiority has to bs much much better warrant the attention and change in public perspective.

On very important thing is tesla has established that your will get better with software updates over time. Other cars have nice adaptive cruise control and self-driving tech but the thought that the car you bought today can in a few months drive better is a massive psychological advantage imo. I don't think Waymo can compete on self-driving features anymore. They have to make the better car and driving experience as a holistic package to stick
