That I don’t understand personally since I use Firefox for both my work as a web developer and for personal use.

It works perfectly fine and if anything I more frequently encounter compatibility issues with iOS Safari.

But there are so many people who have a Chrome-only attitude that I don’t see firefox’s market share going anywhere but down in the next decade.
Need has nothing to do with it. They're identifying ways in which people are making money off of the platform and demanding a cut. This is what companies do unless there is competition and/or regulation.
My family. I wanted to quit my job with nothing lined up, and even went so far as putting my two weeks in. They told me to shut up and get back to work, and in hind sight, its made all the difference in keeping me as a productive member of society
I don't see how this is relevant to the article. Does every submission referring to Google need a thread about how to stop using their products?
I wouldn't use virtual threads for long-running, compute-heavy tasks, because even when we expose forced preemption, it might not be as efficient as a kernel preemption. Also, if you run a lot of native (non-Java) code that blocks -- or that upcalls back into Java and then blocks -- then the underlying "carrier" kernel thread will be blocked, and if this happens a lot, it can impact other virtual threads that share the same scheduler. So for compute-heavy jobs and for code that blocks in native or upcalls to Java, the platform threads would be more appropriate.

OK, let's clear up some confusion here.

You need to differentiate between endangered species and protected species, and between biodiversity conservation ("Naturschutz") and animal rights ("Tierschutz").

The fox is not an endangered species, as both the German and the global red lists show (https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/23062/46190249, https://www.rote-liste-zentrum.de/de/Detailseite.html?specie...).

It is, however, a protected species in Germany (Anhang 1 BArtSchV), though at the lower protection level ("besonders geschützt", not "streng geschützt"). Note, however, that there are multiple reasons to give a species legal protection. These include a need for conservation (not the case here), but also ethical implications (higher animals like birds and mammals generally enjoy higher protection levels than insects or plants) and cultural reasons (in this case, the fox is a huntable species, which means that it falls under the Jagdgesetz).

In short: yes, the fox is protected, but that doesn't automatically mean that it's also endangered.
I did something similar for years, but using the Windows 'run' dialog instead, so I'd select the text, CTRL-C, WIN-R, CTRL-V, CTRL-A, CTRL-X, and then paste in the now unformatted text where I wanted it. Sounds convoluted, but after doing it a few times, muscle memory made it really fast, 2s or so.

I discovered PureText a good while back (mentioned by the author), which instead let's me bind WIN-V to paste the current clipboard as unformatted text. Unfortunately the functionality has been a bit unreliable because of Windows updates, so I'll be giving this a try.
I got that email too, went through the conversion process, and the converted site is completely ruined. None of the images came through, the layout is wrecked, it's unreadable, and the old site is now inaccessible.

I wish I had thought to save the old URL in the Internet Archive beforehand, but it never occurred to me that Google's conversion process would just destroy it.
And TikTok is the problem?

Come on, we need to fix the ecosystem so this type of data collection is not easily possible without users knowing and make stronger laws to prevent companies from doing it anyway (this includes making government agencies responsible and punishing the ones in charge if they do it).
By this logic, why are any video streaming services like Netflix, YouTube and Amazon Prime allowed on the service given they cant audit every video?

It's exactly the same logic.
If you use a 3rd-party app you can view in chronological order and it will stick.
so, just enforce that the game store has parental control as well ?
Right, systemd uses pid 1, but it does so within the pid-namespace of the container, so each container has its own systemd. Hope it makes sense. Thanks!
AFAIK you can't edit the title of posts, only mods can.
Why the remapping of the ctrl key?
Oh I agree. In my head it seems like it should work. I could be wildly wrong though. I am every day :)
Yes. Here are pg comments about this from 11+ years ago: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

The code is more complicated now, though, and I fear that some abusive cases squeak through. If you notice places where you think this is happening, please send them to hn@ycombinator.com so we can look into it.
IIRC in his tests the later versions of the switches lasted at least 100k presses, so quite a long time.
I use fullscreen fairy frequently (or the sister functionality: split-pane). I also like the classic zoom functionality (which tries to intelligently size the window based on content).

The Windows "maximize" functionality is something I almost never use, on any platform.
The framing itself is an attack. That you keep on insisting that imposing censorship is a solution or that rights need to be "worked around" is pretty goddamn authoritarian.
F- Gates!
The first thing a child is doing with their phone/computer is circumventing those parental "controls". You cannot give your child a computer and put all responsibility on some software. Whoever thinks that those controls are flawless will have to face a harsh reality. If a child wants to find boobs in a web browser, it will.

The only way is to disallow the web browser completely and we all know that every child will at some point "have to do research for homework" and then search for boobs.
My ophthalmologist suggested to do similar exercises 10+ years ago, like seeing in 'lazer oculars'.

So I guess this is not new practice.
I think too much brain-cells are devoted to debating this point based on non-factual premises. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/tiktok-china-state-medi...

According to Lee Kai-Fu who launched Google in China: "Chinese laws are clear about what foreign companies can do to operate in China. In TikTok's case, though, the company was left no choice but to consider a forced sale."

China doesn't not allow western companies to operate. Google proactively made the choice to exit China. I'm not arguing that they should have elected to follow Chinese laws but the actions the Chinese government took with western companies was not to either tell them to stop existing in the Chinese market or abdicate their ownership to a domestic company.

Let's debate on non-imaginary premises.
You can be highly attractive and not very fit. And you definitely don't need to have a skin care routine to be considered attractive.

I'd also argue that there is a feedback loop, i.e. attractive people are told they're attractive starting at a young age, and so a large part of their self-esteem comes from being attractive, so they feel more pressure to do the things you mention, i.e. skin care, working out.
Applied genetics. The mapping from gene to phenotype is not, shall we say, injective. Bring in the complexity of epigenetics, biochemistry and you have a complex mess. Biological systems are tremendous black boxes with many second and third order effects that cannot be efficiently simulated and modelled (you can get pretty good approximations within a very narrow scope with supercomputers but those tend to have little practical use outside of basic scientific research).

Another use case would be for pharmaceutical research, there are a number of companies already in the ML -> drug pipeline space but GPT has brought new insight to the table.
I think you're in very good company, myself included.
Your argument here is that Youtube is also in violation of these rules, but is allowed because they are too big for Apple to review?

I mean yes, you might have a valid point, but that goes straight back against:

> "all apps are reviewed against the same set of guidelines that are intended to protect customers and provide a fair and level playing field to developers."
It's a matter of time then before Safari will only display apple.com and nothing else. /s

DataChannels themselves are hugely important. Projects like Tor Snowflake and WebTorrent really inspire me.

I don’t think there was really an alternative at the time if you wanted feature rich DataChannels. Maybe we could stuck with the simpler RTP Datachannel. All that conversation was before I was aware of WebRTC though.

I personally don’t find SCTP that complex. You can implement a basic version pretty easily. Implementing the full spec is overwhelming for sure. I feel pretty confident saying any alternative protocol that is feature rich written in C/C++ will have issues as well.
IIRC, Linux supports up to 32-levels of nesting, so that's an upper bound. This means that within a system container deployed by Sysbox, you can in theory nest inner containers up to 31 levels (since one of the 32 levels is used by the system container). In fact you can do docker-in-docker using privileged containers inside the system container. Having said this, while I've tried docker-in-docker inside the system container and it works fine, I've not gone to deeper nesting levels yet. And this is complex stuff, so I won't say that it definitely works until we try it.
The Downside of Monopolies in Tech
To pull out a couple of the more provocative statements:

> completely invalidate Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.

Only in the sense that general relativity invalidated the Newtonian model. That is to say that the two theories had to agree, within experimental uncertainties, in domains where the Newtonian model was known to work. Where the Newtonian model was known not work, such as the discrepancy in the precession of Mercury's perihelion, is where general relativity has value. It can be argued that dark matter is general relativity's analog to the precession of Mercury.

> That would completely break modern Physics. Right?

No. It could alter certain parts of modern physics, but it can only do so where the observational evidence contradicts current theory, current theory is supported by weak evidence, or the evidence is incomplete. The important thing to realize is that physical theory is based upon mathematical models. Mathematical models are predictive, and observations can be made to support the model or disprove it. Even then, claiming that observations can disprove a model is too strong. Contradictory evidence in one domain does not automatically invalidate supporting evidence in another domain (though it may encourage people to go back to examine the validity of that evidence or improve the accuracy and precision of measurements).

It is also important to consider that a mathematical model is an approximation that must agree with observations within uncertainties. As such it is possible that multiple models may fit the observations. Part of the reason why we look for models that predict something new, such as Eddington observing the deflection of light as predicted by Einstein, is seek an understanding that accomplishes something more than fitting the data. The ability to come up with new theories that fit the data is also why we are hesitant to adopt new theories when there is a discrepancy. When it was discovered that the precession of Mercury did not fit the Newtonian model, there were efforts to seek out explanations that fit the Newtonian model (e.g. is there a body perturbing the orbit that hasn't been previously discovered). General relativity's ability to predict the discrepancy in the perturbation was wonderful, but the deflection of light by gravity (a previously unknown effect) is one of the bits of evidence that allowed us to say general relativity is true since we are now confident that the inability to find a body perturbing Mercury's orbit is because no such body exists.

It should be noted that none of this is meant to claim that a better theory will replace Einstein's, simply that any new theory cannot overturn what we already know from general relativity.
The discussion upthread was about people arguing that masks aren't needed or don't work. This is review paper cautioning that the science behind mask effectiveness isn't as settled as we'd want. It shows good evidence for medical PPE being effective, but it found one study that showed cloth masks were actually harmful, and it points out that the applicability to covid isn't as strong as we'd like either.

There's nothing in there that should serve to argue against the general consensus that masks are a good idea. They are, within the bounds of the evidence at hand, effective in the opinions of most experts. And that includes the authors of the paper you wrote.
Contrary to the title, the proposal is not only endorsed by Sanders and does not single Musk out.

Official write-up[1] proposes taxing billionaires for their gains made only during the pandemic.

For those not in the US, you should know that this proposal has no chance of being passed (even if Democratics take control of all three branches of the federal government next year). It's an attempt to point out the disparity between those suffering and those gaining from the pandemic.

That link underplays the carnage by listing Indonesia as "57-58". Also it doesn't list Gough Whitlam, El Salvador, the many coup attempts against Chávez, Libya, Bolivia, etc. I'm sure I'm forgetting some atrocities as well. It's difficult to compile a truly complete list!
I can't reply to the flagged reply anymore, but I see now that I was thinking of this thread as "within the tech industry", while they were thinking of it more broadly. Looking up-thread, I see that that my more narrow interpretation isn't necessarily the right one.
Apple has always been like that: https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&stor...

Of course they will relive their desktop experience because some other environment will at some point be better due to fierce competition. It's kind of their omen that the company with the bitten apple from paradise has to created a walled garden. The difference will be that there is no Steve to rescue them again.

Funny thing is, their first logo was Newton's apple. Imagine the difference.
Have you considered SailfishOS? It can be run on a number of devices (including the PinePhone if that interests you):

Xbox Streaming includes Console Streaming (https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-streaming/console-strea...)

And I really don't see how there's any sort of difference whether the game console that's streaming the game is owned by the person or sits in some datacenter somewhere. It's practically the same experience from the user's perspective.

Disclaimer: MSFT employee, not in Xbox, all views are my own, etc.
Couple of things:

* iOS upgrades were free and macOS upgrades turned free a few years after the iOS App Store became available
* the lower price tiers available for app developers started with 0 and $1, and in steps of $1
* for many years, the iOS App Store free and paid charts were huge drivers for downloads. It was worth making an app much cheaper and making it up in volume. That strategy worked for many years.

Apple cultivated that environment and developers lived it
It's also behavior that goes back to the Ancient Times and predecessors such as Visicalc and Lotus 1-2-3. Even ancient ones will tell you if you need to enter a thing and it has to be text and only text precede it with a quote mark, ie 'MARCH1, just as you would precede a formula with =. It's Spreadsheet 101 knowledge dating back many decades.

The clickbait headline is fun, but the real headline is more like "Scientists find it easier to rename things than learn the basics of data entry in the tools they use".
Or ⌫!
The reason compilation time is a problem is that compiler architecture is stuck in the 1970s, at least for systems programming languages. Compilers make you wait while they repeat the same work over and over again, thousands of times. Trillions, if you count the work globally. How many times has <vector> been parsed over the years?

In a world where compiler architecture had actually advanced, you would download a precompiled binary alongside the source, identical to what you would have produced with a clean build, and that binary would be updated incrementally as you type code. If you made a change affecting a large part of the binary that couldn't be applied immediately, JIT techniques would be used to allow you to run and test the program anyway before it finished compiling.

There is no fundamental reason why anyone should ever have to wait for a compiler. And if you didn't have to wait, then it would free the compiler to spend potentially much more time doing optimizations, actually improving the final binary.

The zapcc project shows a bit of the potential for improvement in build times, though it's just scratching the surface. https://github.com/yrnkrn/zapcc
In person I think it’s easier to be oblique in your response so you don’t have to agree or disagree, or you can agree and disagree in degrees.
It's exactly what you'd expect from a low-friction, highly competitive marketplace. They eat everyone's profit in a hurry. That Apple was able to take a 30% cut while this happened leads me to believe they did an incredibly good job of creating a low-friction, highly competitive marketplace.

Now, contrary to econ 101 thought experiments, you don't always want to approach the ideal of perfectly-competitive marketplaces too closely. It can be bad for overall market health and even, ultimately, harm choices available to consumers for exactly the reasons cited.

[EDIT] actually it could also indicate that they've done one part of market-creation really poorly, which is that they're making reliable information other than price way too hard to discover, though again, that the market has not just survived this defect/cost but thrived indicates they did an uncommonly good job at other parts.
Repeat after me: it’s okay when they do it.
Like startups, most intentional communities fail – why?
indeed:

>This code, to us, appears to involve the handling of memory error detection and correction rather than a "backdoor" in the security sense. The IOH SR 17 probably refers to scratchpad register 17 in the I/O hub, part of Intel's chipsets, that is used by firmware code.

yeah I'm still not convinced... I don't use TikTok but my gf does and from what I've seen, they've really tapped into young millenials/zoomers and created a product that people love. Facebook fatigue _does_ seep into IG (owned by FB). The most obvious sign of it is feature creep. FB is adding every feature to IG that they can to stay relevant, but ultimately that's going to bloat the app and turn it into Blue V2, which is no longer en vogue.

TikTok works because it isn't suffocated by ads and is hyper-focused on one format, aka it's a well-designed but simple experience.

That's not my argument at all. I agree with you that some businesses are trying to "do as they did" and that may not work in the new workplace. However, they aren't competing in a marketplace when the alternative is "not work and get paid".
Eastern Europe has never been homogeneous, except in myth. There have been waves of different peoples coming through since the ice ages, and there has been mingling all along.
So once again we see that formal Google support channels are worthless, and the only way to get issues resolved is to complain in public.
Not on iOS where the only browser engine allowed is Apple's webkit.
Can you say more about how DataChannels are "hugely important" to the common-case use of WebRTC? Adding a whole additional (complicated!) transport protocol just to get WebTorrent seems like the definition of "marginal returns".
That's true. In person conversation is much more fluid and easier to wrangle back to a topic.

The selling model sounds strangely like the car buying model. Pre-COVID, even the suggestion that the total price of a car be listed on the car was viewed as idealistic nonsense. Only until a pandemic broke out, did car dealers admit "you're right, we could always sell you a car online"
Awesome, this will be very useful.

It would be good to be able to assign physical network interfaces into the containers(using network namespaces) and also document how to create virtual network devices shared between containers.

Furthermore it would be awesome to make all this numa-aware. So you could have network interfaces and cpus and memory be assigned to a single container where everything is numa local. Then you could break up a single physical box into high performance independent domains.
I would say that there is a pretty good chance they will target those services at some point.
This is bad for Apple’s customers. I don’t think they’ll find it’s too their advantage to keep pushing this, or it will become a clear advantage for android: you can play all your games on android, and not on Apple.

Cloud gaming may be comparatively niche compared to the app market as a whole, but what other use cases will thus extend to? Individual app developers need Apple, but Apple needs apps in aggregate.
Well I mean, Apple could be proactive with this. If they simply block everything, unless you paid of course, they could offer unparalleled security. /s
