I'm so far left I have serious plans in the works with money invested to start a commune with some of my friends. So I'm about as far from Fox news as you can get and I loathe woke culture. I'm not going to argue there merits, just letting you know it's not just the right.

I have seen post mortems or "common problems" in knowledge bases, but outside of that the lessons learned were either addressed directly (improved process, fixed code, improved docs) or only in the heads of people involved:)

Everything is hard, but software is a lot more vocal about it because it facilitates the modes in which we communicate
1. This is more of a design study that anything else, having unity provide your os shell is ridiculous.
2. You shouldn't consider your own needs the standard. I for myself would be very happy with
- A music player that doesn't integrate with user hostile, walled garden drm garbage
- Ditto for messaging
- Just using your own file sync for documents and pictures

Also, well, notes without filesystem access feels really useless, we can agree on that one.

The Dead Sea area in Jordan & Palestine is one of two (the other being a small area in California) that can sustain growing the best type of dates in the world. This is one of the reasons why Israel colonises this part of the Dead Sea; to prevent the Palestinians from owning a major export of their ancestral lands.
> Don't get me started on "DevOps" engineers. It's either rebranded sysadmins doing the same thing but maybe with some CI/CD. Or Developers who have been thrown to the wolves.

This made me laugh! This is so true.
So, like I said in my other reply: this was back when i3-gaps was pretty fresh. I don't recall the inverse_outer outer setting, and looking at the github repository, it looks like it was merged in 2018. I'm talking about something that happened like ten years ago :-).

As for this part:

> As far as windows being too small to read comfortably I'd advise you to place no more than 2-3 windows per workspace. For the benefit of those who don't use i3 workspaces are per monitor.

Yeah, this is pretty much where the fiddling comes from.

I don't want to use 2-3 windows per workspace. I sometimes have to work on a piece of code and have 8-10 PDFs open for it -- datasheets, reference guides, schematics and whatnot, at which I want to be able to look from time to time. Sometimes while I'm also looking at the code, sometimes in full-screen (because I'm looking at a big diagram). Sometimes I need to look at a part of a diagram while I'm looking at the code. So I need them to be in the same view as the code. All in all -- including specs, standards, the code window(s), a few xterms -- I easily have 12-15 windows open in order to work on one thing, and it's not really optional.

i3's tabbed view is sort of what I wanted for the PDFs but it's annoying that, if you want to switch to the right one using nothing but the keyboard, you have to go through all of them. You go back and forth, not to the Nth tab (or at least you couldn't back when I tried i3).

That's actually what I liked about ratpoison. Instead of trying to be smart, it just let me multiplex my screen, which is what I really wanted.

I could sort of bend my workflow around all this and, through a complicated set of chords, make use of the whole thing in a productive manner. However, it was anything but convenient. I'm way happier with a floating WM and do a lot less fiddling with the windows.
Many more people travelling than normal on buses/trams which would be crowded on a regular day.

Where i live now the various bus companies have weekly tickets that basically enable people to take many short trips at no extra cost instead of walking. I'm talking about small distances here of less than one mile.

My experience is that when you offer something for no cost you soon become overwhelmed by the numbers of people who'll find any way they can to take advantage of it.
No, I don't think so. I connect "woke" to activists that don't give anything about privacy. On the contrary, I think of self-righteous groups that try to get peoples private information and try to ruin their lives over the internet. In my opinion, this cannot be allowed wherever information technology is involved, especially anything concerning user information. It is one of the reasons I would never want these companies to know anything about me. They just cannot be trusted with information, even if you align with the values allegedly proposed.

That said, at least Mozillas "wokeness" is limited to a degree that is livable.
'Did that really happen in Dublin?'

Yes. It was over ten years ago though.
How much does it cost to maintain TikTok servers?
I've done that a couple of times, although in better circumstances; also fun variants like "the new kernel didn't have the right ethernet driver in it".

I assume it's just that you often can find stuff cheaper - if you happen to find a good half price/2-for-3/etc. deal on branded stuff at a supermarket then Costco will be more expensive. The quality of their own brand stuff is good, though, and the prices are reliably at least fair and usually better.

Their petrol station used to be reliably cheaper than everywhere else near me, but they changed supplier and now it's the same price as Tesco. So I go to Tesco, as it's 99 RON and I get clubcard points.

> Same with every asset, I would think.

When you buy (e.g.) real estate you can get value out of it without thinking about selling it for a profit later. Especially if it's your primary residence.

Same with most vehicles: they depreciate over time, but there is utilitarian value in the asset. Unless it's Steve McQueen's Mustang or something.

Not every "asset" is about ROI.
Personally I had guessed a warped and shallow idea of capitalism from the start - regardless of trolling or sincerity. A "everyone should be greedy as possible and running a free encyclopedia superpasser is anti-capitalist due to not trying to make money from it". Which is wrong / a poor approximation as part of the bloody point of capitalism is to have your spending in both money and effort advocate your views.

Anyway even before checking that sort of view in generic ironically fits both the anti-capitalist and the speculator "Gordon Gecko" types.
If you think very carefully about Mozilla, you'll realize that they're controlled opposition on a short leash, with almost the entirety of their revenue coming from Google. Guess nobody should be working there either, huh?

>If you don’t believe that “social justice” is good

I don't believe your definition of "justice" is good, and I don't believe that the people who had attempted to implement your ideology in practice brought any good to the people they've promised that justice to.
I find the premise[1] of this post amusing. The sort of comment "You always criticize others, but what about you?" seems to nearly always signal emotional damage on the part of the commentator who felt blamed for something. And that is nearly always a sign of bad management practice.

People don't always get things right, they screw up, they do stupid things for good reasons, and sometimes good things for stupid reasons. As a manager I always want folks to be observant and thoughtful, and try to keep such things not about "who" screwed up but how that screw up came to be (the good or stupid reasons) and how one might think about the action ahead of time that would alert you to the potential problem that would result from a given action.

And the key of all that is making the discussion about how to think so you don't have the problem in the first place, rather than making it a blame-fest on some hapless engineer who chose poorly.

I was fortunate to have a manager early in my career who was very proactive at solving problems and moving forward, not affixing blame. He would say "Ignorance is the natural state before learning, only if it persists in the presence of learning opportunities does it become a problem."

I've always tried to learn by what I observe and what I do, which is why I enjoy Rachel's stories of finding root causes. They teach the principles that needed to be understood prior to the action. All without experiencing the feeling of dread that you've just taken production off line :-).

You know they own Pocket right?

Pocket is basically their version of Read Later, etc...And it’s completely optional whether you want to use it or not. So I’m not sure I understand this complaint.

Mozilla’s first integration of Pocket was poorly done, and rightfully raised complaints. But since they have purchased it, a lot of those complaints have been resolved.
I want no part of Brave's weird cryptoish scheme. I know the feature is opt-in, but I don't see the point in supporting an organization unable to find a source of revenue I find agreeable.

Even something as simple and obnoxious as donation nagging, like Wikipedia, seems preferable to what Brave has proposed.
I work at a company with ~1k engineers.

Every every system failure, we email the entire org a postmortem google doc describing what went wrong, why, and what we are doing to prevent it from happening again. Postmortems are also as their own JIRA project.
Regarding the turning problem. Why can’t they use the rudder more to turn and less tilting the plane?
There are no real problems with Byzantine faults in Wikipedia unless you start adding systems like blockchains. So they're proposing that it will fix a problem that it will cause. Interesting reasoning.
Acoustics is such a high dimensional medium yet one humans can readily manipulate...
This reminds me of [1] (2016), where they optimize a 3D series of conduits so that they produce the desired output signal (given object shape and output audio frequency).

I wonder if one can arrange such conduits (6-way connected pipes and chambers) to replicate a feed forward neural network. If it can be done with light...

These pipes could be interesting to work with, maybe in order to build DAGs. Plenty of software take DAGs as an executable input! Can someone put me in contact with the people at [dynamicland]?

What is “woke culture”?
I personally just like Chrome because the awesome syncing between all devices and always having the best Dev Tools ready to open at any second.

I know my browser usage is used for marketing purposes, but as long as it doesn't harm me in anyway I can live with that.
Blind SSRF Exploitation
Failing to distinguish "woke" from a genuine desire and effectiveness to help the world, is itself not helpful to the world.

I've seen plenty of people "talk the talk" but act in a way that is completely disingenuous, manipulative, harmful, and often hypocritical. Other people don't examine their words too carefully and suck up to them just because they "talk nice", leading to various degrees of cults of personality.

It's exactly the same as pretending to have e.g. Christian values to gain popularity and respect but not following any of the principles, only you've replaced Christian with climate change or LGBT activism or charity or whatever.
It would be neat to put windows on the floor. You’re most interested in looking down anyway.

Being involved in audit/security for quite a while, I do appreciate the benefits of blockchain. Would I tell a large corporation to drop their DBs and switch to BC? Not this decade. As Jimmy Wales wrote "It works well.", and if it ain't broken, don't fix it.

I can imagine a general ledger audit to be 'bullet proof'. Of course there are other issues in a DB's user access management. But we can achieve the same results right here, right now, without having to invest $m to change our software/infrastructure/SIEM, etc. in order to achieve in 5 years, what we are already doing now.

Change will come (as always), but in the right time. Where "right" in this case is benefit largely outweigh costs (build/maintain/support/train/etc.)
"the person pushing...to use crypto... does not seem to fully grasp the technology they are pitching"

This is a summary of 99% of "blockchain will solve your problem" pitches. Nor they understand the existing state of the art in DBs and other information storage systems. (Technology that's been around since the 70s)
Where does it say that? My reading of the linked page suggests that MSSQL and Oracle are being deprecated, but SQLite and Postgres are supported and maintained.

In fact, SQLite is the first database listed on the detailed install instructions page[1]!

No, I was responding to this: "minor fixes may end up doing a lot of good".

They won't, since the purpose is just to have somewhere to store people. The actual crime isn't very interesting, the thing of importance is that they have somewhere to store them.
> money

As I understand it, donating money to Mozilla does not fund Firefox in any way but rather their other social initiatives (see the Mozilla Foundation page for a list). Firefox is under the Mozilla Corporation which is funded by things like search deals with Google.
aka "talking one's book"
I liked the wrap up where the position is that it is OK when other browsers adopt some of Mozilla’s privacy features.

I just about exclusively use FireFox with nine containers on my Linux and macOS laptops. Being able to segregate data is a game changer.

On my iOS devices, I feel stuck with Safari since other browsers sit on top of Safari. I appreciate the privacy features in Safari but still feel the need to frequently remove all cookies and use private tabs when using sites like FaceBook. I just wrote about this yesterday https://mark-watson.blogspot.com/2020/02/protecting-oneself-...

Because I like to sometimes use my Chromebook, I am stuck using the Chrome web browser. Deleting all cookies frequently helps.

Yeah okay, another chat app.

I was going to ask questions but I think the below linked blog article about it would be better.

I like the UI. Big, basic and intuitive! Thats a plus!

Also 'kinda' like the domain itself! I imagine that was a quick early purchase.. As for the rest, I'm struggling to see something interesting.

Unless its serverless and p2p based rooms ? That would be kinda neet, done before of course, but nicer than not!

Do the opposite, encourage them.. Because it is on one level a good idea.

Show them things like AutoML. Mention that Machine Learning isn't 100% accurate, and it will be a while yet until it is.

Explain how blockchain is an older technology and how things like proof of resource is a better way without needing expensive ASICs to keep the network secure.

Talk about hashing algorithms, ecc, which ones are the best etc. Get a promotion, make sure its done right.
I disagree entirely. Office politics were rampant in companies I’ve seen that had little to no advancement. Because the only way to go up was effectively at the expense of someone else leaving, or someone else not get promoted too.

Environments where your success doesn’t mean someone else loses are extremely positive.

Or if you are building web products, please use Firefox as your dev browser, that's what I'm doing and it automatically insures that whatever I build will work on Firefox.
They will still have enough of it to get their dose - default setups, corporate apps, embedded devices everywhere. They just don't need to get ALL your online behavior as they do know by default.
Just because history played out one way doesn’t mean it could only have played out that way.
Then they just go in again until they're either rehabilitated or dead.

It doesn't functionally matter what happens in there, since it's the same thing as with standardized tests: all tests are inherently fair, regardless of how poorly constructed they are.
I'm not sure if there's something outside my usage that Chrome does better, but for my needs Firefox's dev tools are great.

Firefox also not only sync's between all of my devices, including my cell phone. Each device has the ability to send a tab to another device, which I don't recall Chrome having.

Just some data points in case you're ever interested in trying something different.

The aforementioned Facebook Container was an excellent step, but if they really were serious about fixing Internet privacy regardless of their financial backers, they'd ship an official Google Container as well. (A third party developer ships one as a fork of Facebook Container, but it'd be far preferable for a Mozilla shipped one.) They capitalized on the Cambridge Analytica scandal with the launch of that extension, but won't follow up with the Google equivalent.

The code is already written, I just think they are still too scared to ship an extension that works against their primary sponsor.

Somehow I can't stop reading this the wrong way.

Is that really what it suggests? I'm under the impression the flesh:seed ratio of a fruit tends to go up when a fruit is domesticated over long periods of time. Wild bananas have huge seeds but the seeds in domesticated bananas are almost not there.

Yeah really it is pointing out that the law is stupidly written conceptually as pi technically contains all of the child pornography in the world once you go out enough digits. In the real world it requires a judge to put a stop to utterly stupid abuses like arresting someone for having enough sources of noise on them which through a series of operations could be transformed into child pornography while not dismissing a 1s complimented video file of the defendant presenting their driver's license to a camera before molesting a child as tampered evidence.

Personally I believe the law is long overdue for refactoring but that it would be a twofold nightmare to first actually do it and second getting it approved through the mechanisms of legislation.

NIST has a really good document, Blockchain Technology Overview (NISTIR 8202):

* https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/nistir/8202/final

Chapter 8, Application Considerations, has a good yes/no flowchart that asks a series of question before saying "maybe Blockchain"

* Do you need a shared, consistent data store?

* Does more than one entity need to contribute data?

* Data records, once written, are never updated or deleted?

* Sensitive identifiers WILL NOT be written to the data store?

* Are the entities with write access having a hard time deciding who should be in control of the data store?

* Do you want a tamperproof log of all writes to the data store?

If the answer to any of the above questions is "no", NIST suggests something else.
> I'm using Firefox for years, after Chrome started to ask me for a login

It's funny because Firefox has been pushing their login thing pretty hard (the yellow "oh no" exclamation mark icon if you're not logged in, the account icon that keeps placing itself back onto my toolbar, occasional full-page ad/nag screen, ...).
Didn't Discord have issues when they did caching in Go due to the garbage collector having to run over all objects ever 2 minutes? Was that resolved in a newer version of Go or does this project get around that problem in another way?

If they want to do something, there's a simple three-step plan.

1) block all ads, by default

2) do not unblock Google's ads,

3) receive Adblock Plus-style bribes from Yandex or whoever to whitelist them, provided they don't harm privacy

This would kill several birds in one stone. First, break Mozilla free of Google funding. Second, hurt Google. Third, increase Firefox' market share. Fourth, help users' privacy.

As things stand today, Mozilla just exist so that Google can pretend they don't have a monopoly. Follow the money - who pays?

(A: Google pays nearly all of their budget, and they have next to no rainy day fund)
just checked the project i'm working on, its close to 1 million lines of code without considering dependencies and we are just 3 devs, not that hard, if they have a decent team (as i would expect), a thorough test environment and processes focused on security this should not happen. They are probably rushing or outsourcing parts of it like everything else they do.
