You can write your stuff in such a way to minimize the WASM<->DOM interactions. And there is a speed benefit for pure WASM stuff, so I can see it being a net win if you're using a good framework that pushes you in the right direction.
I think that was the grandparent's point. The USG can always issue more currency and inflate away the value of its debt. Doing so is preferable to default (and the fiscal & political crisis that would bring), and so they will. Thus, we're going to get more inflation.

They don't agree. The left uses Steven Crowder not being banned from Youtube as an example of conservative bias. The right claims Steven Crowder being demonetized is evidence of liberal bias. Right now Google has a profit motive to remain neutral. The fewer people they alienate, the more money they make. It's not perfect, but politicians have very little incentive to keep Google neutral.
I start missing Rust approximately 30 minutes into every new Typescript project I work on because there's no good alternative to Rust enums (and other benefits that come with them, like pattern matching). I can't derive basic traits for my data, like specifying equality or a canonical ordering. I can't define math operations for my calendar types, my units of measure, or my 3D graphics structs. (De)serialization of data is a minefield.

In what world is Rust a lower level language compared to JavaScript at this point?
Next gen tech/biotech hybrid companies need support from investors and advisors who understand both pharma AND tech. I know the founder And backers of this incubator personally and they’re the best in the business. This is exactly the kind of incubator this space needs.
This is a bit of a silly argument, because money is fungible and dollars are dollars. Donating money to the Foundation means less of the Corporation's dollars have to go to supporting the Foundation, and so more of the Corporation's dollars go to Firefox.
The problem with Compound is that lenders and borrowers are rewarded with a utility token which is more valuable than the interest on the loans. This creates the opportunity where you can lend money and borrow money collateralised against that loan over and over again.
This is really cool. My first impression is an open-source replacement for Segment.
I mean, I started a team of a growing, revenue generating product at Mozilla but I still don't define if something is a successful product based upon if it generates revenue or not.

The scope of this thread is if Mozilla has the potential to make successful products (or, things, I guess) beyond Firefox. The OP claims its not possible for the organization to do so. In my mind, showing they have created software that has traction (some revenue generating, some not) disproves this. A PM considers a product successful if it is adopted and loved by users. Other people consider it successful if its team is cash flow positive. Others consider it successful if it bolsters the company brand. The definition of successful I was working with is one that shows Mozilla can ship useful software.
I predominately run Fedora when I use a laptop, along with Debian. I really have come to enjoy Fedora. I don't notice a ton of difference over Debian moment to moment, except perhaps you tend to have newer versions of things in the repos (like Firefox), with the flipside being, you are upgrading your distro major version much more often (and you get used to it). On the other hand there tends to be a touch more in the Debian repo and I've noticed there are some apps that support Debian packaging out of the box but not Fedora (Signal Desktop, Spotify) - for me this is less of an issue because I just make a new debian VM (I use the Qubes hypervisor, which uses Fedora for dom0 and Fedora as default in VMs).

All that said, there is no way I'd carry around a 5.5lb laptop, personally :-) Fedora seems happy with my X1 Carbon gen5 though.
This is a bit of a silly argument, because money is fungible and dollars are dollars.

Yes, it commonly helps if you use the same definitions to have a productive discussion.

Rust is not a product, never was meant to be one either, if you can point to $0.01 of income brought to Mozilla because of someone paying for Rust then I will be happy to concede that it is in fact a product.

Failing to me means that your product can not stand in the marketplace on merit. Underhanded - criminal at that - tactics by a competitor does not change that in principle. See also: Stacker, Netscape (hm, haven't we seen this before: browser company wants to be platform company, does a rewrite), and many other products that ultimately did not make it but had a very good run while they were alive.

Mozilla is confusing their own importance to staying alive as 'Mozilla the profit seeking company' vs 'FireFox, the last stand'.

And the latter to me is much closer to the stated mission of Mozilla than the former, no matter how much corpspeak they throw at it.
The problem is not creating new web development tools but creating them for the sake of creating them. And what’s worse is people end up using them out of fear to fall behind. People complained about Maven that you first have to „download the internet“ to run a build. This is even more true for npm. In the meantime there are still native apps written in C and makefiles that work just fine. Also, wasm is just a new compilation target for Rust. This means if you know Rust you can write web apps. You have to learn less. With a new tool you have to learn usage, syntax and idiosyncrasies.
Yep, Mozilla and/or the Firefox team is abysmal at communicating about these things. They regularly make HN front page with the release notes, but ... nothing happens, no call to action, no communication.
The big problem with the Visa/MC duopoly isn't the lack of regulation or enforcement of antitrust. It's that the US government, unlike many other countries on earth, does not provide adequate and free payment services to citizens itself.

I don't see the relevance here. Google knows that both sense of "monopoly" can and have been regulated by the government since Standard Oil was broken up. Hence the threat of regulation did not stop Google from investing in innovation.
Fixed. Thanks for the heads up.
I agree that can be a viable solution. Mainly if the backend is also used without GUI. However what I meant is that the Go part of the application will be only the server part.

Can you clarify these security concerns? If the server is only listening on localhost I don't see a difference to "the classic desktop application". If the malicious software has access to your system the data is always endangered right? Or were you talking about services that are exposed to the outside?

For your use case the best option is to run video off the intel integrated graphics and leave the DGPU entirely for compute.

That's how I have this very laptop configured, and also how I configured the workstations for the people here using GPUs for DL development (because a composited desktop will get very janky if you try to run it off a GPU currently being brought to its knees by a training process).
Bell broke up in 1982. The current startup wave that began in the 90s has not seen an antitrust case of that magnitude, even Microsoft's.
True. I've also seen in-person volunteer events that charge some nominal amount that you can either get refunded or choose to donate if you show up. Even if it's only $10, there's a fairly large sunk cost effect that causes a lot more registered people to attend than if they only had to sign up for free. It can be a lot easier to plan that way.
With that 25% of the screen real estate regulation now Google has an incentive to break its search results down on multiple pages.

Search results would be available for navigation in a card UI (one screen per result) where 25% of the screens real estate being devoted to Google on a products would get them a lot more impressions.
Yes, antipasti is the plural of antipasto, and as such you cannot say "an antipasti", but anti-pasto or anti-pasti is improper as it would sound as someone that is "against meals".

Antipasto is a composed word, made from ante- (the prefix of latin origin meaning before) and pasto (meal). The ante in composed words is sometimes changed into anti, but the word is a known one and has no hyphen.

Whilst there are a number of accepted words including the prefix anti- (which comes from Greek and means "against") the prefix (usually including the hyphen) is instead used to make new derivatives/neologisms, i.e. if you are against (say) smoking, you are anti-fumo or antifumo (and then antifumo without hyphen might become an accepted word in the dictionary if it becomes of common use)
Ham is harder. Internet comes (mostly) through cables; those cables at some points are subject to the control of the government, and can be either technologically filtered or physically disrupted. (Satellite internet is clearly the exception.)

But ham radio is like satellite internet - it's hard to cut off. You can ban it, as you say, but then you have to actually enforce the ban - either by jamming, or by finding sites that are transmitting and cutting them off.

But even worse, I don't think the point of cutting off the internet is to keep news from Belarus from leaking out. I think the point is to keep outside ideas (like the idea that elections should be fair, and outrage when one isn't) from coming into Belarus. Well, a ham can sit and listen and broadcast nothing. It's hard to track that down to be able to enforce the ban on the listening station.

Yes, I support developers doing whatever they want and releasing it to the commons for all to benefit from if they so choose. If that means "a new framework every week" then it is what it is, I don't see the problem with that. Just because someone wrote some code and put it on the internet doesn't mean you have to use it.
Disney reduced John Boyega’s role in the Star Wars movies they released in China to appease racist attitudes towards blacks in China. Seems like we thought capitalism would co-opt China but really it’s been the other way around.

> Don't you think you're putting an unreasonably high burden on people?

In a world where the question of "Should we attempt to do a thing?" depends in part on whether or not there's a way to do it that brings more help than harm, I think it might be worth considering that these could be seen as reasonable questions.

Given that regulated utilities have occasionally produced massive messes like California's ongoing issues with PG&E and wildfires, do you think it's worth being cautious and considering possible consequences?

Well backtests depend on everything including assumptions about your data, your trading reality, corrections for multi hypothesis testing, comparisons to a billion benchmarks, working out why your advantage works when it does, etc. I dare say every team has their own rig which takes into account as many of their trading realities as possible.

To that effect I’m not sure there’s a useful answer to your question which won’t mislead you.
You give them a choice between divesting all their various businesses, or the FCC dictates how the business is run. The latter will be boring stuff like % of search results that are ads, etc., rules for auditing algorithms, etc.

If you think that Mozilla not using "corporate doublespeak" is an impossible standard, I am left speechless.

Do you use Bitcoin? No? Then you're part of the group of new buyers.

Don't think you ever would? Opinions can change rapidly when you're struggling to buy food.The article's thesis isn't really that the utility of Bitcoin will increase, it's that the utility of the dollar (its primary competition) will decrease. If your dollars will be worth half tomorrow, it's a no-brainer to get rid of them ASAP and put your money in a currency that isn't being printed rapidly.
Google Maps beat Mapquest because it was so much better.

You could say Apple engages in a similar anti-competitive tactic by preloading all iPhones with Apple Maps. Yet, Google Maps is still used far more by iOS users than Apple Maps even though they have to manually download it. Why? Because it is a much better product.

I'm not saying the big tech companies don't use their position in the market to promote their products, they obviously do, but whether or not this constitutes as anti-competitive behavior, I don't think it does.

Now if Apple or Google were to prevent users from installing Google Maps, or crippling it for the sole purpose of degrading its user experience, then that would be anti-competitive behavior in my eyes. Sure, there have been disputes between Apple and app makers, but when you dig into the details of these stories, it isn't as cut and dry as some lead you to believe.

It is successful if it generates more revenues than went into it and if it strengthens the company that decided to put the time, effort and funds in it in the first place.

The problem with your view is that if you don't have a plan on how a product will generate revenue that you are effectively taking a huge gamble that may not pay off. So you'll be 'successful' by your definition while filing for chapter 11, something that Mozilla is flirting with in the medium term if they pursue this route.

Only companies with very deep pockets can pursue bets like that, and even then it could hurt. Microsoft Xbox' story is a good example of a bet that worked out, there are many examples of such bets not working out, quite a few of them killing the companies that made the bets.

Seems like a poor choice of branding for discoverability and SEO. Really curious about the process for that decision.
I'm... actually shocked to hear this.

You're a UX designer. a User Experience designer. User Experience is your profession. And you're telling me: JIRA, the application with massively nested hierarchical layouts and a 2 second response time for every user interaction is easy to use?

Jira has to be the most complicated monolithic issue tracker available. I should think even Jira's sales team would struggle to call it easy to use, particularly when compared to more simple competitors like Trello.

I certainly have not made UX my specialty so I'd like to know what markers I'm missing out on here. What kind of things is Jira putting forward that mitigates its crazy abstractions, its hierarchical layouts, combined with its slow response times? I thought those were the kinds of things that signified really bad UX.

Personally. I'm forced to use Jira as part of my job and have suffered terribly at its hands. If someone is finding it a breeze then it would be a great benefit to me to understand.
Some of that is on developers, famous for overpromising and under-delivering and generally not managing expectations. There is a real skill to effectively explaining a job’s requirements to non-developers, and it’s something I think a lot of us suck hard at.

Plenty of it is also on managers who simply aren’t competent to manage, of which there is a tragic abundance. If that really bothers you, move up to management and start doing the job better or go find a new job. Otherwise, not your circus, not your monkeys.† Just make sure to keep your papertrail.

† Whereas the liabilities for screwing with production code outside your scope of work def should be. Though again, that assumes a management that actually understands what’s going on in its own shop, and isn’t just running around with its hair on fire 24/7.

Properly tagging a PDF involves marking up literally every element in the document in a similar way that you'd mark up that document in HTML (e.g., everything must be described semantically; the tags are really designed for accessibility reasons and for helping screen readers). Sometimes it might be the right choice, but this doesn't change my basic argument: if the final destination of your document is intended to be a web site, then HTML is almost always the right delivery format.

Earlier this week when we were talking about FOSS search engines, I thought:

How weird would it be if the Internet Archive expanded its mandate to include search? No that’s dumb. Is it? I don’t know.

It might be good if search were regulated as a utility. And ad free. I don’t know if regulating Google is the way to do it.

The problem is if the government gets too friendly with search then they’ll want the data and holy shit will that be a dark day.
