Headless browser scrapers might blacklist things they don't need, like ad domains and trackers, since all they do is slow down how long it takes for their desired content to load.

The algorithm simply checks to see how often you check in with Google and how "human" your actions are based on the data you send to them via things like Search, Maps Location History, YouTube, Gmail, probably Chrome Sync, etc.

If you're using a completely new Google Account and block all of Google's Trackers, choose to use FastMail for your actual email communications, and only occasionally watch YouTube, Google has every reason to believe your IP is a residential proxy that's being used by a bot or perhaps someone in a third world country working at a recaptcha farm. They can't completely prevent the latter from solving their Captchas but at that point all they need is for the farm worker to help Google tune its self driving dataset.

I agree they don't do the same thing, but I agree with dest that the Inkscape UI is much better than GIMP. I've used GIMP way more than Inkscape, so I should be more comfortable with it. But I end up feeling like GIMP is fighting me in ways that Inkscape would like me to get things done.

Changing people's minds to something they don't want to hear is really difficult.

Covid-19, a Balancing Act: Agriculture Sector
I know, I was there. I also think that objection to SPIR-V wasn't completely unfounded. SPIR-V is a nice binary representation of shaders, but it has problems in the context of WebGPU adoption:

1. It's so low level that generating HLSL and MSL from it is more painful than it could be. For example, it represents branching in the form of a Control Flow Graph (which is typical for an IR). This is lower level than either a source language people would use (e.g. GLSL), or the destination backend language we need to produce (e.g. HLSL or MSL). This is unnecessary complexity for translation.

2. It has a lot of instructions, covering wide range of hardware (somewhat similar to Vulkan). In contrast, for WebGPU it would make sense to have fewer instructions for the ease of securing it and translating to other representations.

3. Friction in the features we need, vs features Khronos needs.

There is also a situation where there is no single well specified and tested textual shading language. HLSL doesn't have a spec. MSL has documentation, but not enough for a spec, and it's not portable. GLSL kinda has a few specs, but realistically it's just specified by the implementation of glslValidator.
Exactly. These dark patterns tell me more about the corp behind a site than any regular well-designed cookie popup could. One quick look on these, and I navigate away. Haven't visited TC for a long time.. just not worth it.
The fact that this has the word "Coronavirus" in the title feels like an inappropriate attention-grab here. Something truly terrible happened to a post-doc researcher. The title makes it sound like some sort of conspiracy is at play.
Both are necessary. Otherwise, you get the 'opt-in = site loads immediately, opt-out = site takes >1 minute to load' scenario and everyone opts in anyway.
What? The number of captchas is the same. And in my experience, hcaptcha is a heck of a lot nicer than recaptcha. It also works on Tor. This move from cloudflare will probably save me multiple hours of time per year, that I previously spent waiting for pictures of fire hydrants to load.
This is my main pain point on how Khronos deals with their APIs.

Naturally for those of us around since the ARB days it hardly matters, but for teaching beginners into 3D world, or nowadays 2D was well, those bunch of useful libraries still lack the tooling experience of proprietary APIs.

And the OEM SDKs are hardly better, because they also provide better tooling for the proprietary APIs.

So in the end it all turns out into a rite of passage for everyone, getting to know which set of useful libraries, useful GPU debugging tools are to be used.

Hence why I just advise most beginners to start with middleware and only afterwards dive into the low level details.

Hopefully WebGPU can also help there.

I hope this is the good answer you support on your page.

On the other hand there is no one answer to this question, as the proper answer should begin with "it depends...". Currently, the sky is totally dark grey, storm is coming. Soon, it will be dark, so the sky will be black.

WSL 2 can't coexist with other virtual machine software though (unless it leverages Hyper-V)
CSS isn't "interpreted" (CSS is declarative), and JavaScript can be compiled to [.NET CIL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JScript_.NET).

>I don't see how HTML/CSS does anything any better, XAML is verbose, but the tooling takes care of most of it.

CSS's modules for layout are far more advanced than WPF/XAML/WinUI. Never-mind the more brain-dead aspects of WPF/XAML/UWP like `<border>`, WinUI only has <Canvas> (absolutely positioned elements), <StackPanel> (similar to CSS's flex-box, or normal block layout), and <Grid> (which is much closer to HTML <table> than CSS `display: grid;` in terms of capabilities) - all other layout systems have to be done by hand - which requires a deep understanding of WPF/XAML's layout system internals - and who wants to invest the time in that when there's still uncertainty about the supported lifespan of WinUI?

I've noticed that Microsoft only commits to supporting a UI framework when at least one of their major products relies on it (which explains why WinJS became irrelevant, _fast_, while MFC and WPF are clearly here to stay (I note that Microsoft has only one major product relying on WPF: Visual Studio - literally everything else uses some non-public UI platform like DirectUI (Office) or MFC.

I blame the GDPR for being drafted in a way that allowed this mess.
I would like an extension that replaces the page with "It's not worth it" so I know not to even try to opt out and just leave.
P3P also exposes a machine-readable semantics for privacy policies, which could be used by the browser to manage access to not just cookies but other problematic features as well. It's a lot more flexible than "just reject cookies" or the "DNT" header.

How does your blocker know which URLs you are visiting are "web apps" and which are "web sites"?

I don't know which this is (or where the line is), but here's my latest project at my day job, where we used `position: sticky` for a sort of control bar, that I think worked out fairly well. (There are still some UI issues, but I think fewer than most of our peers trying to implement similar functionality).

Personally I never had a problem with filesystem performance on WSL 1. I certainly don't think it was so bad that the whole thing needed to be scrapped in favor of a virtual machine.
I'm not a big fan of political labels either.

Regarding my skepticism - In the post-Gingrich era, it seems imprudent to assume that unsubstantiated political claims are being made in good faith. While I'd personally be delighted if American conservatives were to suddenly support expanding access to healthcare and implementing policies that target so-called "deaths of despair," I'll believe it when I see it at the polls. I hope that this crisis does lead to positive political change, but, for conservatives to reach across the aisle and work on expanding access to healthcare, they would first have to stop trying to reduce access to healthcare.

Until we get past Covid-19, I don't think it's unreasonable to treat conservative concerns regarding access to healthcare and/or economic precarity with a bit of skepticism.

Definitely! It's understandable to want to hide the 99 crappy things you did before the 100th that came out looking good. What's more, a lot of us actively go back and scrub the failures from our history.

It's stupid, but I'm guilty of it too. I am trying to catch myself, though. It's easier to be more candid once you start having a bit of success.

'Job Creating' Sprint T-Mobile Merger Triggers Estimated 6k Non-Covid Layoffs
If true, I'd say "a medical researcher said to be on the 'verge of making very significant' coronavirus findings" being murdered makes the headline totally appropriate. I understand that the mind leans inevitably toward the question "was the murder related", making the headline seem like it's implying an inappropriate theory, but I just don't see another way of wording the headline any more neutrally, and I think it would be ridiculous to remove a relevant description from the headline just to avoid that inevitable thought.
Yeah, and I'm not sure I really buy everything they say there either. For example, "unfortunately that means sending more operations down to the file system" seems a little tough to swallow. There's no reason it has to be that way for file systems they control, which I dare say is the case for almost all their users. They could just implement separate APIs that optimize the cases where all sides of the equation are well-known, and only fall back (as they mention) when there's an unknown somewhere. (Not that I'm suggesting these are easy. Just commenting on the technical premises they're providing.)

Also they said "That doesn't mean we've given up either", but you really have to do some mental gymnastics to convince yourself that moving to a VM wasn't "giving up" on solving these problems in WSL1.

Clearly the matter isn't simply presenting the ad. The issue is being able to trace and identify the user. Sites will put walls that identify blockers which when passed through by declining will still display ads! Showing the ad isn't nearly as important as tracking who is looking at them.
My view is that WSL2 will help developers who are stuck on Windows (many enterprises force Windows on users).

I don't think Linux will be affected as much. Moreover, Linux is better than ever:

- you can buy laptop with Linux from two companies: Dell and System76, soon from Lenovo

- performance can't be beat (especially for development, with native docker and kvm for virtualization)

- amazing package managers, with fwupd you can even update firmware

- graphics stack is really good and getting better, firefox on wayland with video decoding support, wayland with great hidpi support

- work on chromium on wayland in progress (beta already available), we will have electron apps with hidpi support

- no bloatware (candy crush, 100s of processes...)

- gaming with Proton is miles better than gaming on macOS, still behind Windows for known reasons

Obviously if you need Adobe/Office, Linux loses many points :)
It's a bookmarklet, which means it only runs when you ask it to, so I don't think it really needs to know the difference between a web app and a web site?
Kind of a tough situation. I personally wouldn't be ready to accept this is the last such vulnerability that will be found.

In light of this attack, maybe going forward have a setup script that creates an SSH tunnel back to a machine that can talk to the salt-master for you. You could then have VPN, but if it's flakey at all, it could cost the ability to update machines.

Or perhaps (and I say this as a saltstack user) ansible really is the more secure model for those scenarios.
Or, maybe they're balancing it with the amount of money/time you spend buying stuff you didn't really need/shopping. It's probably not illegal to have someone follow you to see where you shop, eat, work and sleep, but if a company could deploy one person to follow you 24/7 and report back for basically for free without telling you, there's a line crossed.

Also, besides browsing news/Reddit/shopping, where do you see the GDPR prompt? Banks, AWS, GCP, don't use tracking cookies, so how many "years" of productive work are really being taken away? Sure, its a barrier to shopping which also boosts the economy, but why does Nissan they need to know I just bought a power inverter or visited Tesla if they deliver a solid car on their own merits?
The HN title is misleading, this is specifically about Firefox Preview, not Firefox Mobile which has supported these extensions for a while now.
It should be edited.
Well it depends on your use case. If you're using WSL to develop web apps then storing it all in WSL is fine, but if you want to use Linux tools to process a load of files in your Windows drive then it's not quite as smooth sailing...

Ask HN: I'm being left out of SRE and DevOps by my manager. Should I be worried?
I am a web developer working on react and backend REST APIs. I have the skills and want to be
closer to the deployed product working as SRE and DevOps. Writing anisble scripts and maintaining production instances.

It's a small team. I'm not allowed to do Devops things because 'me being a developer is worth more'.
I think that's a terrible idea. I can only become a better developer by working close to the deployed product.

Having less SREs and shared devops knowledge can only hurt things.
The team rationale is computers fail all the time. We should have SRE scripts that recover things.
I hate that idea. I want to know why servers failed. My belief is if you don't understand the root cause it'll just keep happening.

Is this a naieve belief? Am I in the wrong here?

Unequivocally no.
From the abstract,

"Circle is a compiler that extends C++17 for new introspection, reflection and compile-time execution. An integrated interpreter allows the developer to execute any function during source translation. Compile-time flavors of control flow statements assist in generating software programmatically. The configuration-oriented programming paradigm captures some of the conveniences of dynamic languages in a statically-typed environment, helping separate a programmer's high-level goals from the low-level code and allowing teams to more effectively reason about their software."

While I appreciate your qualm, respectfully I think that no matter how it were introduced, someone would've quibbled. "You should be straightforward", "you should be more detailed", "you should have more ninjas". There's no win.

Ask HN: What do you use to for building and maintaining a static site?
Hello HN,

I've been meaning to start my own personal page for a while but I don't want to get entangled with the common blogging platforms (wordpress, meduim, etc). In fact I want to stay away from having to maintain a server or database or rely on external services like medium, blogger. So I came to the conclusion that I should opt for a static site. And I want it to be completely self contained. The problem I face is that none of the existing ones I have encountered is entirely self-contained and often require some ci before publishing, which is what I want to avoid: Hugo, Sphinx, Jekyll, etc, all have the same problem. And even though I don't want anything fancy, or special, it seems like my only option is to start writing html pages and adding links, which is very annoying when you need to add html, head and meta tags, copy large sections of existing stuff around and so on.

So my question is, what do people use on HN? Experienced something similar? Do you know of any alternatives?
