> IIRC, there's no reason that an extension couldn't do what it did in XUL

XUL extensions were given full access to the XUL DOM for the entire browser, whereas WebExtensions are limited in their sandbox to known extension points rather than having full HTML DOM access to the entire browser.

Also, while WebExtensions still have access to messaging channels to websites/native code/outside applications, it is indirect (and permissions/sandbox mediated). XUL extensions' XPCOM (like Microsoft's COM) gave a much direct path both in to the HTML DOM of individual websites and outward for native platform code to be written in languages like C/C++.

(All of the above of which include additional reasons why XUL/XPCOM may be security liabilities if your goal is a secure browser: free reign of the browser DOM, website DOM, and easier access to native code.)

> Any reasonably widely used language will have users who care about latency.

Right, but, to the parent's point, OCaml, with its HFT pedigree, has an unusual level of latency sensitivity in its userbase.

I can't speak for Jane Street, but, at the prop shop where I did my time, nobody found it all that peculiar to have major cross-company initiatives to, e.g., shave a couple bytes off a datagram format just to reduce some message's average latency by a fraction of a millisecond.

That is an awful default error for validating the type. The program knows it failed to parse as an Int but doesn't tell you anything about that.

Also, the help should automatically tell you the expected types as well.

The funny thing is that this is how I've run all of my companies over the last 30 years or so. I pay salary, not hourly, so there's no need to track hours. Unless the position intrinsically requires certain hours (such as if the position deals with the public), there's no need to require people to work specified hours. Everyone has space in the office, but unless we're having a face-to-face meeting, there's no need to require people to use it.

What I do instead is have mileposts. If the expected work is done, with acceptable quality, in time for the milepost, then it doesn't matter to me when you worked on it, how long you worked on it, or where you worked on it.

It just seems logical and fair to me. It's not without downsides (what is?), but it's always worked well for me, and most (but not all) of my employees have considered it a very positive policy.

> Society would be better off if we avoid appeal to authority and instead focus on evidence-based decision-making

While this sounds awesome in isolation (and is perhaps even a goal to aim for), I am in two minds about the reality of it.

In our society as it currently exists, most people are not in a position to collect, correctly understand and evaluate evidence for things outside their expertise. And some, like me, have very limited spheres of expertise to begin with. So people rely a lot on a "chain of trust" for informing their opinions and decisions. This is of course gameable and is indeed often gamed.

But I am not sure this is avoidable. It does not seem possible today to teach oneself to a point where as an individual you can form a fully independent opinion, solely based on the study of evidence, in any reasonable time for very many different things.

Maybe I am just pessimistic!

I very much agree with this post in that analysis of the problem has to be the first step. There needs to be both a contextual and a granular appreciation of the problem.

You get far too many founders looking for the most intense problem when that is just one facet of a problem. Christmas songs are a problem, painful, intense, etc. But it's only once a year, which would mean not very active users.

"Severe case" is clinically defined in the source material on page 12 if you're interested. I'm not sure o2 sat or respiratory rate is particularly meaningful to readers on here so I didn't include it.

I'm not sure where you're getting "no big deal" from, I never said or implied anything of the sort. It appears to be comparable to influenza, which is serious and warrants a serious response, but not cause for any panic. Flu already poses a serious risk to the elderly, yet we don't see widespread panic year over year.

Mild pneumonia is also known as atypical/walking pneumonia. In the source material they state that they classify mild pneumonia as a moderate infection. See figure 5. Most cases of atypical pneumonia don't require hospitalization, as the primary characteristics are just cold symptoms that don't go away in a week.

We're going to start seeing more data coming out of South Korea in the coming weeks that is likely to be far more reliable than what the CCP would show. Currently the fatality rate appears to be ~0.5% and trending downward. [1]

I'd say that he's "at low risk", not "no risk".

There are ways to play traditional pen and paper rpg over internet now (roll20 for example), and it's actually better than playing them physically in many respects - the system draws the map, allows moving the tokens zooming and scrolling, calculates the distances, shows the fog of war, throws dices and includes bonuses in the rolls. After initial setup it makes it much easier for GM and players because you don't need to remember to include all the bonuses every time you attack with your sword.

You still use voice (usually over discord) and DM decides what happens on the fly.

But most importantly you don't have to play with people that live close to you, makes it much easier to find someone to play with, it's why I started playing p&p rpg again after over a decade.

I could see sites like roll20 recording the sessions with metadata (at this point they said this and GM told "roll perception" and they rolled d20 + 3) as a way to train a virtual DM. Of course it would need crazy amount of games.

> Besides the fact that we naturally evolved toward them since everything else we tried so far was worse ?

Oh god, the silly "documentary" trope. Let me guess you heard that from a silly documentary with churchill? The same applies to democracies as well. We had them and they failed and we "naturally evolved" from them. It's almost like all forms of government are bad and have a shelf life. You do realize that the ancient greek democracy failed miserably right?

> And the fact that people are fleeing authoritarian regimes risking their lives to get into democratic ones daily yet the opposite never happened ?

No. People are fleeing poorer regions to wealthier regions. Most of the migrants around the world are from democracies not authoritarian regimes. Did you know that 1.3 billion people are without electricity? Do you also know that almost all of them are living in democracies? Did you know that almost all of the world's poorest countries are democracies?

> When you put lions in cages they're still lions.

That excuses everybody, not just democracies. What bizarre rationalizations.

> Right, open an history book and it'll be painfully obvious that the vast majority of authoritarian regimes are worse than being "not inherently good".

Yes, open a history book and it'll be just as painfully obvious the same applies to democracies. Most of the human suffering around the world today are in democracies. Most of the wars started around the world today are by democracies.

> It's almost as if desperate times lead to desperate measures... more than democracy leading to authoritarianism.

So it's the desperate times and nothing inherent with the form of government. Okay, now you are starting to make some sense.

> The US is as far away as you can get from democracy and still call it a democracy.

Pretty much the definition of modern democracy. But you are right, we are a republic and that also is inherently flawed.

I used to think like you because I consumed the same documentaries and propaganda as you did. I agree with you that people should "open a history book" and look at what really happened. Most of the world's suffering in the past 200 years was caused by democracies sadly. It still applies today sadly.

DoH breaks anything that is going on in your BIND or NSD server. It bypasses them, it has broken that. If it does DNS first, then if that fails does /etc/hosts, its broken that too.

If I, or my company, or ISP has anything special in hosts or DNS, e.g. load balancing, name mapping, breaking facebook.com, things like that get bypassed.

DoH over HTTPS is slower than a lookup to /etc/hosts, and probably slower than a lookup to a locally cached DNS resolver.

Security is not improved by FireFox bypassing my network admins DNS rules.

Most DNS queries do not go over the Internet, unless you have DoH or have set special DNS servers. My ISP provides IP access to the Internet and DNS, like almost all ISPs. It not to do with local caching (which does add security), if I query foo.com that query goes to my ISP, not via the Internet, my ISP knows I asked for foo.com and then then the routes my IP packets there.

My ISP has to lookup DNS on the Internet to resolve them if it is not in caches but that lookup is not associated to me.

When I connect to a corporate network all my DNS goes over VPN if any information is required from the Internet again that is not associated to me.

Cloudflare might be running a more secure DNS resolver at the other end than my ISP, but it might not, its rules have to apply to the whole world so they cannot be tuned for me and my security preferences.

After DoH, all DNS goes over the Internet, even quires that eventually are resolved locally. Cloudflare now know I'm going to foo.com and so does my ISP, or VPN provider, I don't see how security has improved. Its just sending information to a commercial partner of Mozilla's in addition to my ISP. Some informationits getting that before my ISP did not get.

Plus HTTPS is not infallible.

DoH is more secure than DNS in plain text over the Internet, but that is very rarely the case.

DNS is also not a significant risk to browser users. I have never had a DNS response faked, to any HTTPS site it would not work, so why bother.

There isn't much risk, its not more secure, and it breaks stuff.

An 8 by 8 bitmap has 64 pixels. there are 2^64 possible configurations of bitmaps, or 18,446,744,100,000,000,000.

Your average printer can print at 600 dots per inch^2. A4 paper is 11.69in by 8.27in, with an area of 96.6763in^2. You can fit 58005.78 dots on an A4 paper assuming you can print on the edges, double that for both sides at 116011.56 dots.

Ignoring actually fitting the bitmaps on the paper, you can store 1812 bitmaps per sheet of paper. You can roughly fit all possible combinations of bitmaps on 10,176,500,000,000,000 sheets of paper.

Typical office paper weighs 5 grams. Ignoring the weight of ink, your total mass of paper would be 50,882,500,000,000 kilograms of paper. Pluto weighs vastly more at 13,090,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms.

You definitely don't need a planet's mass worth of paper, but maybe a couple of planets worth of production however. We'd be more likely to see planet scale enslavement in a Douglas Adams galaxy wide copyright mockery scheme, which galactic court would likely throw out since they don't appreciate mockeries of law, leaving everyone a bit disappointed and with entirely too much visibly grey paper.

I wouldn't say that ads are completely ineffective (there's a significant chunk of the population that doesn't resent ads like we do, and will actually click on them even if they're aware that they're ads), but I agree that there's definitely a bubble going on.

I've seen many non-tech people search for a certain brand or product, and despite it being the first non-sponsored search result, they will instead click on the sponsored result/ad ad the top even though it's the same product.

The above causes the metrics and conversion rate to look great, so the waste of oxygen that is the marketing department can justify their salary and budget, the ad providers and all the ecosystem around it also gets paid, but at the end of the day that ad wasn't actually providing any value because the user already had the brand in mind and only clicked the ad by mistake.

I had SAAB 900s from 1983 right through till 2008. The one I had the longest was from 1987 to 2001. I cried when I sold it.

I loved the SAAB 900s. The biggest advantage, apart from the safety and comfort, was that cargo-space. It had a low lip, a high roof, and a flat floor with the rear seat folded down. I could, and did, carry quite large pieces of furniture in there.

When I bought a three-door Mercedes Sports Coupe in 2002, it was a poor substitute for my SAAB cargo-carrying: shorter, lower, no flat floor.

If SAAB had continued with the original 900 series+, I'd be driving one still today.

+ When SAAB was taken over by GM in the 1990s, the SAAB 9xxx series were redesigned to conform more to the US vehicle fashions of that era.

What's a "systems language"? Someone recently posted "awk as a major systems programming language".

Ocaml is used in many performance and latency sensitive domains as a minimal amount of research would show you. Here's an example:

https://www.janestreet.com/tech-talks/building-an-exchange/

It's also got a reputation for pretty predictable performance characteristics, fast compilation and ease of writing correct and concise code, properties C++, for example, does not necessarily share. Part of this is because the compiler is comparatively straightforward in what it does (and same for standard library), with the flip side that you leave some performance on the table. But that might not be a bad trade-off given that ocaml generally seems to be within a factor of ~3x of C++ (which can probably easily baloon up for specific problems, given that ocaml has e.g. poor SIMD and machine size int support). So you probably wouldn't want to write AAA game engines, crypto libs or numerical kernels in it. But my guess is that a language with those characteristics (and much faster iteration times) translates to better real world performance for many other types of tasks.

No, your backup device need to be stored until you need it, not with you all times.

you add your main device and your backup device.

than you store the backyup device, after having it configured on your accounts, in the safe and use the main device to authenticate on a daily basis.

when you create a new account you add your main device and than when possible retrieve the backup device from storage and add the new account to it and store it back again.

on the event of you loosing your main device you retrieve the backup device from storage, use it to authenticate and remove your lost device from your accounts.

You can then acquire a new one key, add to all your accounts and store the backup in a safe again until needed.
