It is the Microsoft sleight of hand. One hand is showing you want you want to see; Open Source initiatives, developer glad-handing, etc. While the other hand does this.
Your confusing the coop with the company here - worker coop structures can get complex.

Was at Google in 2007 when the launch(es) were happening. The commenter at the bottom of the article is correct, the existential threat Google faced wasn't from Apple, it was from US mobile carriers. Google wanted leverage over the carriers to bring Google products to feature phones more easily. They had no intention of actually releasing Android at the time, and it wasn't close to being ready for release anyway. Apple then released iPhone and beat Google to the punch, and I remember us all thinking "oh shit this is WAY better than the janky, blackberry-esque prototypes we have in development"[1]. So everyone at Google scrambled to get something out the door in response, and the compromise was the HTC G1/Dream on the cheapest carrier at the time (T-mobile). I was using a Nokia N95 at the time, and while the Dream was laughably bad, I did appreciate the bits of the Dream which compared favorably, like mobile web browsing and application development. I still feel Android is mostly a reactive product with many clumsy holdovers from v1, but I digress.

I read somewhere that the American accent is closer to what British was like in the 1700-1800s. Later the Queen's family, which came from a corner of England, established its accent as the norm. So the American pronounciation is original, and the British one changed in the meantime. Not sure if this is true.
I'm using Unraid, (a linux), which uses kvm for the virtualization.
If you're using kvm, you can passthrough your primary GPU by dumping the vbios, and then passing that along when you initiate the passthrough.
Passing a custom vbios is pretty easy to do in Unraid, though dumping the vbios is still a manual process. I have do that in my setup because I don't have any spare slots for another GPU, even a tiny one.
> put it in a pinned taskbar position with a new icon and a notification bubble [...] less annoying

I have to disagree here. Messing with people's pinned taskbar icons is much more intrusive than a suggestion (which anyone sane has already disabled)

> why are they so heavy handed on the windows side of things

I'm sorry but that's pretty funny right before suggesting to literally change users settings without their consent.
Another thing with Netflix is that they somehow reload the page between episodes so you have to go back to the page and re-enable the PIP.

Youtube does not.
Alternative DNS roots seem like the Internet equivalent of being a sovereign citizen. Sure, there are lots of things wrong with the government that everyone believes to be in power, but simply believing it to not be in power solves none of those problems, neither for yourself nor anyone else. You still need to interact with a world that believes in the government you don't believe in (or worse, believes in their own alternative vision of government).

Going to the Sun at night looks a bit counter-intuitive. I hope the scientists have everything covered. Godspeed.
- Linux isn't very user friendly to begin with, whether it's in the form of OS usage or apps that you're used to.
- A lot of people, including myself, grew up with Windows. Switching right now, after tens of years of usage, seems unnecessary still.
- WARNING, personal opinion: Windows is the only platform for gamers.
But that’s just not true.
I believe this can even be generalized to all relatively large sample of X'ish Y. Forgetting this is one of the main reason of systemic bias on many topics, including the usual suspects.

The front-page article on this site is "8 Surprising Facts about James Dean," so I wouldn't take it too seriously. It reads like a high-school or undergraduate essay. Also, FWIW, it's from 2012.

Hopefully a linguist will come along with better treatments of the subject, but Google turned up a couple of articles with more links:

While it's true that in many countries it's legal to buy houses and not occupy them, the locals tend to look unfavorably upon this practice, and some municipalities will charge additional taxes for unoccupied properties.

> what actually killed Nokia handsets in one stroke was one memo by their then CEO Stehphen Elop where he basically stated their platform as it is was dead in the water.

Gotta disagree with you there - when the burning platform memo came out the battle was already decided, even if it wasn't over.

Just look at the HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2195520 - it's 95% praise for the CEO clearly stating the reality of the situation.
Perhaps worth noting that this article is a day old and it was launched last night:

The flip question is always, how often was Cassandra wrong? We're after all seeing one side here. A perfect Cassandra is potentially useful, a trigger happy Cassandra is just annoying. Even a perfect Cassandra can be annoying if the issues in the end cause minimal monetary fallout.
Decade Prior to the ‘Great Inflation’ Saw Lower Inflation Than the Past Decade
Over the last couple of years I've been coming round to the fact that microsoft aren't necessarily a major problem now, compared to google and amazon at least.

Doesn't take much to put the shields back upto full.

I just don't understand why people run windows. Maybe I just use computers wrong, having been on linux for the last 20 years, but my family (who I refuse to help with IT needs) are all far happier on chromebooks than on windows
All You Need to Know about Browser Fingerprints
I think Microsoft has every right to suggest their own browser.

Chrome does it. Firefox does it. You have to opt out of the reminder. So you have to opt out of Start menu ads.

Big deal.

Can we focus on something slighty less trivial please?
Cybercriminals Recruit and Look for Skilled Developers
I'm talking about what it compiles down to. Kotlin routinely generates bytecode that uses Java idioms either for its own ABI or in addition to it. So yeah, if some builder classes were produced behind the scenes for an immutable data class, why not, that'd be cool. You could always disable that feature with a flag if for some reason the bytecode size was an issue.
As much as I want that to be the case, "A television broadcast that doesn't come in free over the airwaves isn't a broadcast show" type sentiments didn't stop cable, and while cable started with a nicer, often ad-free offering, the advantages faded as it grew, balkanization of channel offerings eventually came, etc. Operating a local television station in the US today now requires collaboration with these companies, and they have little incentive to work effectively with smaller local players. They can get nationally syndicated shows through their originating networks, and only really need to bow to local interests at all for highly localized things like news (and even that's dying rapidly).

These open spaces and preferred arrangements have to be defended or they will die.
Here's a secret: many people shout about rage quitting. No one actually does.
Yeah the BBC podcasts aren't going to go exclusive, but instead they've launched their own podcast app and piss everyone off by going on about it constantly.
It's not foolproof of course, and it might be overkill for many, but consider this example:

You've found one of the most catastrophic bugs in Bitcoin ever, and you know that the developers are extremely skeptical of anything. The community is also divided and full of toxic people who will try to discredit anything you do.

Now, will you be satisfied with just posting a hash on IRC or on the mailing list? Are you sure people won't distrust you from posting on "the wrong IRC channel"?

I would assume you'll want as solid a proof as you can construct. Therefore you'll timestamp your message on the blockchain in addition to posting on social media somewhere.

And exactly this is what awemany did when he discovered CVE-2018–17144, one of the most catastrophic bugs in Bitcoin ever:

On the other hand, tech to verify formalized derivations will be cheaper than tech to generate falsely verifying formalized derivations (impossible unless one finds a bug in a verifier)

So we should move to formalization as a herd.
Differences Between Digital and Brick and Mortar Shopper Experience
The old Edge to be fair. I don't think it is that bad, but the html engine would be the least of my concern. Only rarely do I create websites and Edge gave me no problems here.

I don't like its restrictive and opinionated settings. Some criticism has been adressed but I don't have an incentive to switch. Because I believe bad habits of MS resurface as soon as enough people do so. I have seen that it got better, but it just isn't enough. I don't use an online account for my OS because that would be silly, so some of its functions aren't even accessible.

Overall it just cannot be configured to my liking. It is usable, but certainly no Firefox.
One way is to get Premium and download the course. I haven't looked at it, but I assume they haven't bothered to do any copy protection on those data packages. Not sure if they contain account-bound watermarks of any kind.
This is a good resource BUT nothing compared with the interactivity that having someone with decades of experience in the industry gives you.

At a University you have a constant feedback loop of your knowledge being evaluated by people with experience.

A good teacher can give you this global view of a subset of what is really important very fast, so you follow Pareto's principle, you use it,you get more interested,you get deeper. This way you become continuously engaged.

Imagine you want to read "Structure an interpretation of computer programs". It is a jewel book, but if you read it you will not understand 95% of it, or what this academic stuff has anything to do with the real world.

You need someone with experience that tells you: You spent three weeks making this project, let's make it in two hours with this technology.

Of course it has taken years for this person to do in two hours what takes you weeks of work, and it will take you also years to be able to do that on the same level.

BUT if you read the most important content of this book, study and apply it over a week, you will be able to reduce the work from three weeks to a single week with one week of effort.

With a small effort you can get great rewards. That is pareto's Principle.

But you can not study only the most important principles of a book if you don't really know what is important and what is not. That is what a master knows.

Imagine that you study English as a foreign student by a book and you study words like "persistence" or "clairvoyance" at the same time you study "make","do", "he" or "she".

Worse, imagine that you study all the words but you don't study how they sound, so you make an idea in your head of the sound of the words based on your native language. Now every new word you learn, you learn it with the wrong sound.

You need someone telling you: Stop reading the book and do this and then you will understand what the book says, then follow this other part of the book.

Having a mentor or master of course is expensive, and that is the reason Universities exist, so masters could be shared and prices go down.

If you dot have direct access to a master, I recommend that you follow lectures of masters before you read X book.
Unless you're personally donating large sums of money to Mozilla, you need to stop whining about their innocuous, non-spyware ads that are easily removed.

Your alternative isn't some hypothetical "pure" browser. Your choices are Microsoft spyware, Google spyware, or presumably some Chinese spyware. Or Firefox, imperfect though it may be.

There are now only two viable rendering engines left in the browser world, and Firefox Gecko is one of them.
Maybe you have a problem that can use AVX-512 trivially in the compiler, in which case yes, Intel is hugely better. We are all very luck to have the crazy high end hardware we have. I can't wait in a few years I should be able to get a fairly cool Mac Mini+ equivalent with 32 cores so that I a javascript test suite can take less than 10 minutes to run...
Exactly this. Show me facts, what percentage of battery life will it save my _specific_ laptop compared to FF, how much faster will _my_ experience be.

Is there anything that the dev tools will allow me to do that I can't with FF Developer Edition?

In any case I'm mainly a MacOS user, but still.
No, but Google would be more than happy to put the later on their main search page. Not really any different. Microsoft controls Windows and uses it to advance corporate goals. Google owns their search interface and uses it to advance their corporate goals.
>And learn native Swift, not React Native or Flutter or some other fad hybrid approach. It’ll be worth it in the long run.

How? Feels to me like I keep seeing recruitment for cross-platform devs more than native devs. And a lot of companies seem interested in pumping out cross-platform apps from a single codebase than developing separate native apps.
Lots of users == 10%.

And there is a difference between people listening to standard podcasts through Spotify where Spotify just caches RSS feeds and audio (where you can still get pretty good stats from what I’ve heard.) and going Spotify only.

In the former case, Spotify is just another podcatcher.
my (possibly dumb) personal "conspiracy theory": some time in the relatively recent future there is going to be The Grand Linux Userspace Fork. There's going to be "SystemD with the Linux Kernel" (the SystemD system with Gnu utilities and the Linux kernel if you're into that sort of thing) and then "classic Linux", which is just "not using SystemD".

We already sorta have this now. What I'm (half-jokingly) suggesting is a big ugly fork a la Emacs/XEmacs, where the world visibly and somewhat incompatibly separates.

And like that fork we'll end up with everything more-or-less reconciling eventually, but it's going a weird ride until then.
Why are they attacking Firefox instead of Chrome? It seems really weird.
Yep, it's a shame that they removed it and actively prevented me from using it even though I still have old Edge on my system.

Now I need to import epubs into Calibre to have a reasonable epub reader.

Path to Citizenship and Legal Visitors
There are 70 million legal visitors to the us every year. If there is a Democratic Party path to citizenship for undocumented residents, wouldn’t the 70million visitors have an easier path to citizenship also ? Step 1: overstay your visa. Step 2: qualify for path to citizenship as you are now undocumented.
I think the use of .ini files is exceptionally appropriate for systemd. The developers are at there most transparent here, it is essentially them saying “we want to be Windows, we want to be the ones who control your system, we make the decisions and you should be thankful that insightful, expert, never ever ever wrong developers like us grace you with this software.” (Obvious fake quote, is obvious)
I know the sarcasm is heavy there, but the attitude of the developers of systemd seems to be honestly geared in this direction. So, Of course they use .ini files on Unix, because they want the same sort of mono monster, one true path OS that Windows has.
I hate to say it, but "domain squatters" pay for domains like everyone else. You have to take the shit with the sugar in a free society, not shit on everyone's personal liberties with Code of Conducts or "occupation" requirements. There's no perfect policy or "solution" that can fix every moral panic without causing other problems. And not every moral panic needs to be fixed either. That's life, sorry.
How to build an advanced WordPress search in 5 minutes
Does the JSON number type permit me to store the number 123,456,789,098,765,432,123,456,789,098,765,432,123? When I read it in with a parser, what integer value will my code see?

This is not an academic question: large integers are common, for example, as cryptographic keys.
Firefox is a browser. Chrome is a browser. Windows is an operating system. Consider having a closer look at the IE anti-trust cases to better understand the difference.

On BBC Radio 4 this morning a scientist (presumably from the ESA team) mentioned that the thermal protection is so effective that some of the instruments have heaters to keep them warm enough.
Well it's clearly not generally "non-European" since they all just happen to come from the same single country, one where it's culturally okay for corporations to do whatever the hell they like, so yeah ... it's not at all surprising that corporations from the US need a little bit more "guidance" to behave themselves in the EU.

By that measure you shouldn't really consider any of the large Spanish companies, as all of them have extremely close ties to francoism. At least for Mondragon they are a drop in the other bucket. Still, I would be very skeptical about these "terrorism financing", since the data you acquired was very probably massaged by the Spanish authorities to look as bad as possible.

What about Svelte as a light-weight framework -- it compiles itself out (there is no library included in the final app).
>There is a way to tie IAM user to SSM. You have to request SSM permissions and AWS logs that. AWS logs pretty much every single API call so it's just matter of storing and auditing correctly.

If you're using a generic ssm-user (and going to ssh so there's no ssm logs of the commands) then wouldn't you not be able to distinguish the commands (say in auditd) of two people logging in at the same time?

I'm reminded of RDS which does not store enough logs anywhere to reconstruct which IAM user/role was running specific commands when using IAM Authentication unless you create individual users in the DB.
Any advertising that's badmouthing another product is shady. I don't know what advertising you've been seeing that's so much worse.
This doesn't look like the 2001 brouhaha over "MS using Windows to peddle IE", nope, nooosir, not at all, honest.
If you have worked in support this tends to be less fallacy and more reality. The point is that when cutting corners in the purchasing process people often are fed up or too much in a hurry....so things are not documented the way something should be for production. When these process jumpers leave the “tech debt” Piper is paid via your support team/IT burnout.
If I could just switch to OpenBSD for all my work I would be really happy, Linux and all the junk on it is a dumpster fire. Now that we’re in the late stage of Linux being built out of a huge pile of seperately developed components the usability of the system has plummeted to an absurd level. I thought the config file story was bad, and now systemd wants to add auto generated json to the mix (in a top level file of my home directory, no less).

Now Linux feels like all the other “enterprise” systems I deal with on a daily basis: baroque, complex, confusing, and over-engineered.
Criticism of the Chinese government is not racism. They have a history of controlling the flow of information both in and out of the country; any suggestion they are controlling the flow of information about this virus is rooted in established historical facts.
The MX record should be enough.
>And a lot of companies seem interested in pumping out cross-platform apps from a single codebase than developing separate native apps.

There will always be a need for expert native devs who can build high performance apps. There are things you simply cannot do with crossplatform apps, specifically things like low level OpenGL code and edge ML. Yes there are less of these jobs, but they tend to pay much better and are in heavy demand.
Yes, this is basically considered fact. American is old-English. The same with Québécois and French.
Rude? I think you’re just being thin-skinned.

You yourself admitted to driving dangerously by overtaking in corners while ignoring the prevailing traffic conditions, for some reason you’ve now edited that part out.

Pointing this out isn’t an attack on your character. I’m a bad driver too, I get far too stressed out while driving in busy cities so I just don’t do that.

Svelte is great but requires a compilation step, which is probably the kind of complexity that potential users of Alpine.js are trying to avoid.
The American Accent Is Older Than the British Accent
This is a bit disingenuous; people didn't just "have it enabled", it was made a default despite a lot of concern that it was such a radical departure from the normal behavior.
They are the Spanish strike force! Largely irrelevant around here, until their fragile national unity is bruised and they all jump crying foul. Pretty funny when you see them for what they are.
Or until e.g. GNOME requires use of this, and Firefox requires use of GNOME (thank God it doesn't yet). A computer without a browser is not terribly useful in 2020.

My problem with systemd really isn't what it does, though: it's how it does it. It's as though someone looked at late-90s Microsoft and admired the taste.

What Is Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) System
Ask HN: How did your company transition from releases to continuous delivery?
The company I work for is in the midst of trying to change from release branching to continuous delivery - there are a lot of resources online talking about how it should be done, but what are some real experiences from HNers? Are there workplaces/projects where this won't ever work?
I’m not asking rhetorically:

Is a closer coupling between ‘the Web’ and local systems (especially concerning login and personal id) really what anyone needs?

I don’t even think it’s what anyone really wants, but sure, let’s find a way to make some random server located somewhere run by some SaaS be responsible for negotiating rights to access our own hardware.
