I remember an article from Figma or even possible from you, where you mentioned that you have rewritten in Rust a tool originally written in node.js. And I remember, back at that time (I think it was 2 years ago) you were very exited about the language. How does it compare to the current situation? What made you to think that Go is a better and enjoyable language than Rust? Is it the faster GC?

A recently published article from a guy working at Discord throw a real flameware, because he was arguing about the opposite: Rust is a better and faster language then Go, but he based his assumption on very old version of Go (1.9) where the GC was way slower then in the current versions.
Tangent: Is there anything on bitchute that isn't right-wing or conspiracy theory? I've just pulled it up for the first time and by the front-page videos it's an alt-right cesspool. I'll use the alternative if it's viable, but this content isn't.
Most Americans make less, adjusted for inflation, than they did 40 years ago

Only if you look at salary. If you look at total compensation, it’s grown quite a lot in the US, across income levels, adjusting for inflation.
So, you're implicitly suggesting that unless I accept a user agreement of one of the dirtiest companies in business I should not be a part of society?

I'm really rather glad that we quite obviously don't inhibit the same world.
Maybe just selling?
Waterfox is not a mainstream browser, therefore its fair to assume its users come to it in search of something that don't get in the major players.
I'm assuming again, but I don't think is much of a leap, that those needs are privacy related and having control over the software you use. Not having a faceless company behind the software, like Google for Chrome, Microsoft with Edge or even Mozilla with Firefox is a draw for users.
Now having said that reading that its been bought by a company, and one that does business in advertising no less can be quite jarring.
Its like you shopping only in a mom and pop grocery for years that's out of the way and more expensive, but you do it to help local economy. Then one day you get there and and while you load up your cart the owners tells you they work under Walmart now. The very thing you tried to avoid.
Of course such decision is in the waterfox dev, and he has the right to do as he pleases but is understandable that some people might have problem with the sale.
Usually long wait times in the US are provider specific. I’ve also experienced long wait times, but it’s because I wanted to go to the top academic system in my city.

If I was willing to go to any specialist, I could have seen one pretty quickly.
> A large, somewhat ungainly white cuff with spiky transducers, the bracelet has 24 speakers that emit ultrasonic signals when the wearer turns it on. The sound is imperceptible to most ears, with the possible exception of young people and dogs, but nearby microphones will detect the high-frequency sound instead of other noises.

This is surely not actually effective against a wide range of well designed, real world microphones, and definitely not against something designed to surreptitiously record you. Strikes me as more of a gimmick than anything else.

Full disclosure: I don't have any always-on microphones in my house, and probably never will, so I probably qualify as some kind of techno-skeptic.

Your comment wouldn't be too bad without the last sentence.
>There's a lesson in all this: have one joint and keep it well oiled.

>Protocol designers underestimate how badly people will implement their designs. Writing down how you think it should work and hoping that it'll work, doesn't work. TLS's protocol negotiation is trivial and the specification is clear, yet it still didn't work in practice because it's difficult to oil.

>Rather one needs to minimise complexity, concentrate all extensibility in a single place and actively defend it. An active defense can take many forms: fuzzing the extensibility system in test suites and compliance testing is good. You might want to define and implement dummy extensions once a year or such, and retire old ones on a similar schedule. When extensions contain lists of values, define a range of values that clients insert at random. In short, be creative otherwise you'll find that bug rust will quickly settle in.
> 'I dislike that msft is getting a disproportionate amount of hate about this stuff and yet Google and Apple don't seem to get the same level of flack.'

If I made a comment that they are all dishonest shitbags who cannot be trusted, somehow I get the feeling that you will have some kind of objection to that sentiment as well, 'Rafiki.'

> 'I wanted to offer a different perspective that acknowledges that this is the state of things across the board, and this one thing is less harmful than it's being made out to be. '

In other words: "The current state of things is Microsoft users are getting the shaft, and ya know guys, it's not so bad if you only lube up your asshole first."

> 'What I am trying to say is that this incident isn't evidence of anything except that Microsoft is like every other company that will use any advantage it has to push its product. Google and Apple do it too.'

Right: immoral, evil, controlled by dishonest psychopaths. Exactly the point.

If everyone else was jumping off a bridge, would you jump too?

Except Microsoft is owned by the very same people who own the U.S. Government. Same folks who own Google. Same folks who own Facebook. Same folks who probably own you.

Is there any desire to help pay for software with zero commercial elements? Especially software as complex as a web browser, where it will take a lot more effort and time than other, smaller open source programs.
Exactly! Maybe my initial comment should have emphasized the relative significance of reasons for preferring X-ray CT over MRI in an emergency:

1) Speed.

2) Depiction of bone (less relevant if it's not a trauma case with suspected broken bones).

?) Risk to patient in case of internal metal.

Some MRI suites are set up with airport style metal detectors to prevent people from accidentally bringing metal into the magnet room. I haven't heard of metal detectors being used to screen non-responsive patients, though.

It's a reasonable question, but I think that even if some instantaneous metal detector with a false negative rate of 0 could be made, emergency docs would rather scan for five seconds to get a CT than five minutes to get an MRI that has coarser resolution, poor bone depiction, and a chance that the whole image is ruined if the patient moves.
I know more than a couple of older people who can still hear very high pitched whines from electrical equipment. The “only children and dogs” is some bad statistics.

Also houses have dogs or kids. Or both. It’s a thing.
Thanks for the meaningful reply. That is proper advice and I will look into this in the coming future. Cheers.
Please don't do this. The cost of the effect is greater than the benefit of the correction.
The things you see with a flashlight at least correspond to things that actually exist. Replacing algorithms with proven error bounds with heuristics that have such bounds whatsoever is much more questionable.

Does this include smartphones, computers, or other such devices capable of becoming always-on microphones in software?
My mom lives in the DFW area and makes $50k. Within the past 5 weeks she's gone for a routine mammogram screening, seen a specialist about a grown that thankfully was benign, and been seen by a surgeon who removed the growth to be on the safe side because my mom is considered high risk.
What's the logic behind avoiding left (right in 1/3 of the world) turns? I assume that route planners already take into account that a "crossing the opposite flow" turn takes longer than a turn the other way, and I would expect them to only suggest that turn when it still shortens the overall travel time. Avoiding them entirely seems like it could only make routes worse.
Whenever Reddit, or any other website, tells me to install their app, I make sure that I never install their app.

In fact other than maybe 5 or less apps, I only use a browser.
It’s not hard to work more than 35 hours in France, correct?

Justification doesn't exist in a vacuum, what you're justifying matters just as much, and showing ads from Microsoft is pretty low on the scale of evil things apps do for monetization.
Lack of search is just a lack of a locally-implementable feature. There's really no security reason why it would be more difficult.

Transferring to a new device, on the other hand, does get somewhat more complicated. For ease of use, the data needs to be placed somewhere intermediate. That being said, I can understand Signal's hesitation to embrace Google's cloud storage options for such a feature.
Quite right. As do other examples.
I’m a bit older than average and these types of things and noises drive me crazy. I can’t even be near some old CRT screens due to the pitch they emit (especially bad with old CCTV monitors).
wow you make it sound like someone is sitting in front of a computer, watching reaction of foreigners on reddit, and tweaking the numbers on an excel sheet. Really? You know, Chinese ppl online really hoped it wasnt a quadratic curve. If the government was just making up the numbers and trying to hide the problem, why not make it linear, or square root? why pick quadratic, such terrifying curve...why say its cornavirus at all? just say its flu, its pneumonia, its a terrible flu season. If all the government cares about is money and economy, why shut down the cities at all and destroy the economy in the processes. When economy is down, business will go bankrupt, people will be pissed, and maybe they will revolt. Why go through all this trouble and not deflect the issue or take no responsibility at all. Isn't all about protecting people and keep people from getting sick? oh btw, now that model doesnt fit anymore, the reported number is higher than the predicted model
When I read content like this, I can't help but be reminded of Bryan Cantrill's talk at USENIX entitled "Fork Yeah! The Rise and Development of illumos" from 2011 [1].

Agreed. It was a good comment, clearly relating his own experience.

I found it valuable.
What were the circumstances that people were afraid like that? For example, was this an in-house development team, or hired consultants? And how did you find out that people were afraid to ask these questions?
Here's how "smart" Vegas is: 90% of the billboards you see driving through the shithole are for ambulance chasing sleazebags and malt liquor stores. Pass.

Great quote here:

"The problem with an auto-vectorizer is that as long as vectorization can fail (and it will), then if you’re a programmer who actually cares about what code the compiler generates for your program, you must come to deeply understand the auto-vectorizer. Then, when it fails to vectorize code you want to be vectorized, you can either poke it in the right ways or change your program in the right ways so that it works for you again. This is a horrible way to program; it’s all alchemy and guesswork and you need to become deeply specialized about the nuances of a single compiler’s implementation—something you wouldn’t otherwise need to care about one bit."

The thing about this kind of thing is that it's nightmare to do but the people who can do it wind-up seeming like wizards and alchemists and so they won't necessarily say "this is a nightmare, never do this".
As is repeated ad nauseum here, Reddit has indeed gone downhill for years, as has the quality of most websites, the mainstream news, pop music, and your local sushi restaurant. Maybe someday the perfect, static, never-evolving discussion site will be created, but sadly even HN is full of commies / libertarians / fascists / etc. etc. Maybe you should create a better community yourself? Unfortunately, even Reddit has to pay its bills and stop racking up endless losses.
Thanks - I never thought to look in the parser for AST optimization.

By the way, it doesn't affect timings by more than 20%, but that repo has locked in rather old versions of rollup, terser, and other packages. You can disable tree shaking in rollup with --no-treeshake and still get comparable bundle sizes after using terser. That would save 3 seconds. There's no tree shaking opportunity in re-exporting all the symbols from the same library 10 times - all code must be retained. Using terser({compress: false}) would save an additional 17 seconds at the expense of making the final bundle 3% larger - 6.01mb total. Mind you even with upgraded packages and these config tweaks rollup+terser would still be 30x slower than esbuild - compiled languages will always win in speed.

Bundling and minifying a real app rather than a library might yield more interesting bundle size numbers due to dead code elimination. Providing gzip sizes would be interesting too - they aren't always proportional to the original ungzipped sizes.
Most employers (tech) pay 90%+ of healthcare costs. Worst case scenario you might be responsible for $6k per person per year if you heavily used the healthcare system.

Why do you choose to live in a such a shithole? Serious question. Move to the country where you can breathe something other than toxic fumes and the smell of piss stained streets. Come join us here in rural Alabama, where you can luxuriate in the ownership of a washing machine and other modern technological wonders, like air conditioning, color TV, and fiber to the premises, while hobnobbing and rubbing elbows with the insanely rich high rollers of this wealthy society who have long enjoyed all of these luxuries and more.

I never understood the obsession with masks and simultaneous complete lack of interest in simple reusable cotton gloves.

Is it because masks get more attention and there’s a large overlap between narcissists and people scared of the zombie apocalypse?

I’m kidding about that, but it’s really odd how easily people seem to flock without attempting any deeper analysis.
I forgot the name, but there's a whole site dedicated to listing what to long/short for various 'immoral' scenarios like major disasters, pandemics, housing crashes, etc.
Yikes. Excellent point. Is sharding the only option here? It seems like having immensely shared Postgres is one way of solving the problem, but is that the only option?

Wondering if eg cockroachDB would be a good fit
Part of the difficulty is that technical feasibility of the software is no longer as much of a limitation. Half the things in XScreenSaver or Future Crew's Unreal https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=InrGJ7C9B3s were things it was really surprising to see on the screen of a computer in 1993, especially one that wasn't a $50000 SGI. But now pretty much anything you can see, you can record an HD video of, and your $100 hand computer is fast enough to play it back in real time.

So there's no longer the wonder factor of "how is this even possible? Am I dreaming?". Except sometimes there is. Like with Deep Dream. Or GPT-2. Or the Looking Glass light field display. Or GauGAN. Or a lot of math things. Or topology optimization. Or Wikipedia.

But I do think it's a constant danger, forgetting that this stuff is supposed to be fun.

By the time you factor in all of the insanities of living in a city, there's a lot of things that are a lot silly about it.

Seriously. You pay people to do your damn laundry, and brag about it? And I bet there's a social aspect to it also--those people are considered to be lesser than your type, in your eyes, right? I'm guessing I shouldn't bother asking if you can change oil or unclog a toilet?

If one man software products can't be sold for money in such a fashion as to reasonably support the dev then it is inevitable that most of them will either be sold or become abandonware. That too, a browser being such a critically important piece of modern software and such a complex undertaking for a single (or few) devs, it is imperative that the user community undertakes to return the favour in terms of money so that such 'deals' are not necessitated. Now while today it is Waterfox we can expect most of the other smaller players to eventually fold too... even folks like Vivaldi/Brave may not be sustainable in the long term. For that matter even Mozilla has a revenue problem that has long been bandaged over by deals with ad companies. It's just that the sharp end of economic reality hits the lone dev much sooner.

Microsoft and Google giving away their browsers for free will essentially undercut every other player out there including Mozilla. And only the users will emerge the poorer for such unhealthy consolidation.
I believe there is no such thing as a perfect community on the internet.
The worst thing you can do is panic. The second worst thing is read indirect sources. I suggest you avoid social media which is full of a lot of toxic hidden agenda and stick to things like promedmail.org and virological.org. they cite prime sources.

Storefronts are becoming the discovery location, while sales shift online. In the past few months I’ve had more than one staple household purchase disappear from grocery shelves to require us to buy from Amazon. It makes sense - stores now charge something like $250k for stocking/shelf space fees. Bookstores have a different structure, but I hope to see more online warehouses show up to rival Amazon, because scalpers do enjoy hiking prices there whenever something is out of stock elsewhere.
Thanks for the explanation.

Regarding `overflow: paint`:

In <https://www.w3.org/TR/css-contain-1/#containment-paint> it says:

> ... This does not include the creation of any mechanism to access or indicate the presence of the clipped content; nor does it inhibit the creation of any such mechanism through other properties, such as overflow, resize, or text-overflow. This is as if overflow: visible was changed to overflow: clip at used value.

That seems to imply that `overflow: hidden` could still be used with `contain: size` to "access" clipped content. And still I don't see how the optimizations they list are not available with `overflow`.

BTW, I think it's unfortunate that the MDN article introduces `contain` as if it were a hint...

> This information is something that is usually known, and in fact quite obvious, to the web developer creating the page. However browsers cannot guess at your intent ...

... when actually it modifies layout and display behavior, overriding other properties.
I will have a look thanks.
I think I'll implement it with two arrays one for keys one for values and a loop to find the key index, then return the corresponding value
It may be better to fully unroll the loop, I'll have to benchmark this.
SSE may be interesting too.
It's selling out because it was a nonprofit project, and now the Man owns it, and will try to monetize it. This is textbook selling out.

At some point, MrAlex94 will be made to compromise his principles. It might not be a big deal, it might even be good for users. But buying a product means that the company payed for control -- that's what property is. If System1 were fine with him developing it without their control, they would have just given him some money and said hey, do your own thing. But when you sell out, you give up control to The Man in exchange for that sweet, sweet cash. And, to be fair, cash has a lot of utility.
