I feel even a list of the 5 most impactful js projects should include Firebug.

Firebug played a huge role in removing the shroud around javascript and making it approachable to a lot of people, helping them introspect others code, and improving their own code quality. After it, javascript became a beast you could tame rather than a source of endless frustration.

Biometric Tracking Can Ensure Billions Are Vaccinated Against Covid-19
I think there are two forms popularly used. One is to refer to what might be thought of paranoid, irrational beliefs. Another is that there is a theory about a conspiracy.

The issue is that by not acknowledging that there are two separate uses, people end up lumping any theory about a conspiracy into "conspiracy theory".

For example, I remember reading a comment on HN around 2010 from someone who worked at an internet backbone. They said that there was some secret fiber cables, nobody knew what they were for, but they were not allowed to touch them. However they were the same size/caliber as the other cables that went to the next backbone, so the reasonable conclusion was that basically all traffic that went out of one pipe went out the other one too. And it was some kind of US government thing.

That, plus other things I've seen over the years, convinced me that the US had a massive domestic spying operation, like the NSA. There were news articles about the NSA building massive new facilities post 9/11 -- what would the point be of them? Turns out I was right, thanks to the Snoweden revelations, and honestly I didn't understand why they were such a big deal. OK, it was hard evidence, but it blew my mind that people were sooo surprised that it existed. Sometimes, occam's razor suggests a conspiracy.

This is a far-cry from the theory that the world is ruled by lizard people.
This is going to become more and more common for media intensive applications.

https://vo.codes uses a Rust HTTP web framework. It's not C++, but it's the exact same use case. High performance compute.

It's not unheard of for ordinary CRUD websites, either. IIRC, the first version of OkCupid was written in C++.
> This is... a bit surprising to me.

This surprise is likely due to the power of hype in an echo chamber. Tesla has drastically lost both market share (relative decline) and sales volume (absolute decline) throughout Europe. Norway, which was once paraded around as the Tesla future dominance preview, is now indistinguishable from zero for Tesla sales. The only market where Tesla is still growing volume is China.
No need for a new service, a simple Github Action with a cron trigger can do it.
Normal trains are designed to support very high loads, as they are using tracks suitable for cargo transport. For urben people transport, you don't need that carrying capacity, so the rails as well as the trains are unnecessarily heavy. Also, the wagons are larger than needed. It absolutely makes sense to rethink the whole system.
One Reason is that Teslas are large while Zoes are small.

Then compact segment is very popular in general and Sedans are not. Teslas are also quite expensive. Even if you remove tarifs they are still on the higher side of what most people would buy.
Part 1: Why not to do a startup

It’s only a matter of time. These companies are huge, with massive infrastructure, partnerships, supply chain strength, R&D power and wisdom, etc... they also do not want to see Tesla eat their lunch.

Electric vehicles are also not rocket science. A company who has been making vehicles for a century will have a substantial leg up once they get some momentum. They’re far more simple as far as the driveline goes than an ICE powered vehicle would be. No transmission. No oil coolant lines. No engineering the engine and trans to work together. No fuel tank, no fuel lines, no injection system, no fuel pumps. The list goes on.

With an electrified powertrain it’s basically just a motor and juice (I’m over simplifying, electric motors and batteries require cooling as well for instance).

These companies are going to eat Tesla for breakfast as soon as they get caught up.
Been wondering when image space would start to be a concern.

Actually just set up my own private registry and pull though registry.

Pretty easy stuff although no real GUI to browse as of yet.

This is all sitting on my NAS running in Rancher OS
If I'm reading this correctly, a single pull every <6 months would avoid this. This seems like NBD to me.

Still, I keep my images mirrored on quay.io and I would recommend that to others (disclaimer: I work for Red Hat which acquired quay.io)
Air pollution is worse than we thought
This will be quite bad for reproducible science. Publishing bioinformatics tools as containers was becoming quite popular. Many of these tools have a tiny niche audience and when a scientist wants to try to reproduce some results from a paper published years ago with a specific version of a tool they might be out of luck.
It's not very nice to immediately be racist when someone says something that you could observe to be true, even in many an office not filled by "white, straight men".
> Just this week a 20GB dump of private Intel source was dumped with backdoors included.

> That's the sort of thing that's going to happen again with the newly published Intel backdoors.

This is not even remotely true. You have to read more than just the headlines.

> Anyone on WiFi AC or up are backdoored right now by NSA. All of them are compromised, no doubt in my mind. All the LTE. All the x86 hardware on the market. All of it.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Please provide some.
The difference in price is in most cases greater than the 10% import duty, but yeah: almost all these cars are cheaper than Tesla's entry-level model. And as other commenters have said, these are largely smaller cars than the smallest Tesla, too.
So the Kia Niro EV is a $40k crossover with 239 miles of range. It's not as fast as a Tesla, but it's a very nice car and has many nice features. It also doesn't have lots of the fit and finish problems Teslas tend to have.

I still wouldn't write off other manufacturers yet, and some companies like Hyundai/Kia invest massive amounts into alternative powertrains.
I think the Kona looks great and I’ve heard good things about Hyundai in general. But the exploding battery pack gives me pause. [1]

I don't think so. I suspect the "exploration" bias observed in that study is somewhat hardwired into the brain. Kids need to learn, adults need to be efficient.

The test was clearly designed as a way to optimize reward. And indeed, adults quickly went to the optimal solution. But kids kept exploring, even if further tests show that they knew the optimal solution.
The points you're making have been known issues of freedom of speech since the drafting of the constitution. I think American society as a whole understands this, and is willing to make these sacrifices because otherwise you open yourself up to authoritarianism by more powerful entities.

Flag Pattern Is Associated with Explosive and Sharp Moves That You See on Charts
> At Viaweb, as at many software companies, most code had one definite owner. But when you owned something you really owned it: no one except the owner of a piece of software had to approve (or even know about) a release. There was no protection against breakage except the fear of looking like an idiot to one's peers, and that was more than enough. I may have given the impression that we just blithely plowed forward writing code. We did go fast, but we thought very carefully before we released software onto those servers. And paying attention is more important to reliability than moving slowly. Because he pays close attention, a Navy pilot can land a 40,000 lb. aircraft at 140 miles per hour on a pitching carrier deck, at night, more safely than the average teenager can cut a bagel.

> This way of writing software is a double-edged sword of course. It works a lot better for a small team of good, trusted programmers than it would for a big company of mediocre ones, where bad ideas are caught by committees instead of the people that had them.

This seems like a non-issue, if you need to keep a rarely-used image alive for some reason just write a cron job to pull it once every six months. If the goal is long term archival it should be entrusted to something like Internet Archive.

It's five times its neighbours now, but most countries which had a lockdown are now seeing the numbers rising, Sweden isn't. My guess is that at the end of this, most counties (with equivalent healthcare systems) will have similar rates, but Sweden will still have a functioning economy.
There are lots of stupid, low-effort jokes that are little more than obvious tribal reference and hat tips. Allow one thing, it's hard not to allow them all; and in a subjective, memetically-active area with lots of easily-amused eyeballs around, stupid jokes end up deluging niche topics.

That said, a clever joke often manages to evade the downvotes, effectively meaning there's just a high-bar for humour. YA-TWSS need not apply.

Did you really take such a course voluntarily? Nobody forced you? Just checking...

Honestly I think unconscious bias is snake oil in its worst form. The topic was popular in my country in the early nineties and it really got towards level I would call child abuse. Like testing the reactions of infants towards people of different skin colors. If such a reaction was perceived, children were shown a "corrective movie" which could induce trauma. There isn't much info on this on the net sadly, I would be quite interested in it because I was subjected to it. In my opinion it is plain child abuse.

But basically I would recommend not to partake in anything mentioning unconscious bias. Everyone has bias and that is completely okay, it is part of your personality. I don't know what the Linux Foundation has on the topic, but I don't want to have anything to do with them anymore or the people selling their "training".

I also don't want to make anything inclusive aside from ensuring physical accessibility for disabled people. Anything else is ideological bullshit in my opinion and doesn't speak too well on the foundation.

What is your favorite color? If you have one you are probably biased.

Women that see themselves as victims from "invisible barriers" shouldn't be a role model. Those that just work in IT might be a good start.

>It feels awkward having to spell this out: Throwing a "seems" into a sentence, and ending with "but I am willing to be educated" doesn't make whatever precedes it innocuous.

Yes, I'm aware of the rhetorical technique of the "question that's actually a veiled insult". E.g. "Why does Facebook/Airbnb/Dropbox have all those thousands of programmers?!? What do they all do?!?" ... are often not really sincere questions but really a humblebrag of commenter saying, "I can code a Facebook clone over the weekend with one hand tied behind my back...yada yada yada"

I hope my example above shows the we both have a shared understanding of unstated but implied messages in what people write. That said, I still think it's a more productive discussion to try to answer the question the way pjc50 did[1] rather than the retaliatory criticism of your reply.

>Nobody is interested in ignorant assumptions.

Well, those "ignorant assumptions" was (for several hours) the top-voted comment in this thread so it seems that many are interested in it. (I'm using "seems" in a sincere way.)

If you think it's unproductive to try to answer the commenter's question because you believe they were only trolling Mozilla, consider reframing it as "educating all the lurkers who upvoted that comment". The silent lurkers may have sincere curiosity about what all those roles actually do even if the commenter you responded to does not.

The Chinese economy is hardly communist at this stage, it's a mix of socialism and state sponsored capitalism.
Contrast this to where Mozilla is with their money and management structure. I would consider KDE to be a huge success.
One of the mechanisms proposed in recent years to account for Vit D correlations, but not causations, is that Ultraviolet A (from sun exposure), also helps produce nitric oxide (NB, this is also a very good reason to be a nose breather, as this is a major source of your NO).

This won't account for everything either, but we're now fairly sure that the sun exposure -> VitD -> disease link is not as straight forward, and that VitD supps are not necessarily an answer to the low VitD correlations.

I believe the only VitD supplementation causative link we have strong evidence for is to preventing/treating rickets.
Secretive “Diversity and Inclusion Task Force” Targets No. 1 US High School
I did too. But I've gotten much better at studying/learning over the years, and I attribute my high school problems with grades as a combination of ADD and my head being focused on trying to deal with what, in retrospect, were psychological problems. What I needed back then was a really great therapist and some training in mindfulness meditation. Alas.
Conspiracy theory is just a buzzword to stop thought. "That doesn't need to be discussed or disproved because it is a conspiracy theory."
I believe they've since changed the name on the account to "The Cain Gang", although the handle is still "@THEhermaincain". Still disrespectful when you consider the meaning of chain gangs in American history.
It depends on what exactly you mean by "portable." This is an extremely complicated space with a ton of interlocking dependencies, but here are two axes on which you could make opposite claims, and be correct:

* C is more portable than Rust because there are C compilers available for more platforms than there are Rust compilers for Rust platforms.

* Rust is more portable than C because Rust programs tend to be written in a more platform agnostic way, and are therefore more likely to be able to work on platforms that they weren't originally intended for.

(To make the second point more concrete, as a Windows user, pure Rust programs almost always Just Work for me, but as soon as we get into C dependencies, it becomes way, way way worse.)
Visions of the "moves memory" icon in THINK Reference came to mind as soon as I saw the headline.
Can you use that if you are offline, or otherwise have no contact with the Apple ecosystem?
I think it might just be simply cars available at different price points which give a good value proposition for that price. Tesla starts at 44k euros in Germany, there is plenty of space to undercut that. It is happening in a lot of countries now with a myriad of automakers coming up with EV models.

Also, not all of them have to match Tesla on either range/performance. If they can get 90% of the performance at say 70% of the price, it is a good buy. Auto market has always been competitive on price.
I find in Rust I have far fewer platform specific switches with #[cfg(Unix)] and the like vs. the number of #ifdef macros in C.

If you’re talking about code portability of pure C, no dependencies, then I agree. Once you start depending on platform features, in my experience, the portability of Rust is superior.
The most expensive VW ID.3 is still a lot cheaper than the cheapest Tesla model 3 according to their web configurators.
Theoretically since you can edit the original-format content from the website, you could scrape it from the website. I'm just wondering if this is something anybody is thinking about/working on.
There is a lot of frustration with Intel over their pricing structure. Intel has done an excellent job at maximizing cash extraction.

Whatever the logic, humans do not like the feeling of being taken advantage of, and when your counterparty is obviously maximizing how much they extract from you, it feels bad.

The funny part is lots of people like to make themselves feel better by condescendingly "educating" people who feel that way. It is poor emotional regulation all the way down.
My money is on Apple cracking down hard on this. It looks clearly as if Epic remotely activated this direct payment option, thereby bypassing Apple's App Review.

Apple will not take kindly to this. Best case scenario for Epic (and Fortnite players): they invite Sweeney in for some hard negotiations. Worst case: Fortnite ends up getting removed from iOS for this.
I find this an uplifting reminder that it's still possible for competition to happen in the world of social media.
Check top/task manager from time to time. It's pretty rare any desktop applications use more than 2 or 3 cores to the max.

That means those extra cores won't really help day to day performance.

> privacy friendly ad network

Given that the ad industry is filled by the kind of people who are vocally hostile to privacy (especially when it comes to "targeting ads"), this is a product without a market.
That’s what I’d guess at, something like Red Hat: you pay us for support & consulting for OSS work you don’t want to have in-house developers for.
Also, to spend £100k on a car (cost here in the UK[0]), you really have to be into the aesthetic, I think, and Teslas look a little bit vanilla for my taste, plus I don't entirely love the proportions.

They also don't do an estate/station wagon so if I was going to spend that kind of money on a car (I'm not - I couldn't even if I wanted to) it would be something like an Audi RS6: all of the performance, and all of the practicality.

(Yes, I know the model X would nail the practicality as well, but I really hate SUVs and trucks.)

[0] Edit for clarity: this is the approximate cost of the Model S P100D, which is the model I've been most interested in. Please see my grandchild comment.

The infrastructure provider (if any) has likely seen more of these than you can imagine and again, they have proper channels for this and the people who monitor them know how to handle it, they won't lash out on you. Same goes for the domain registar.

As per the box legitimate owner, while I agree that there is all kind of crazy out there and you can avoid this if it makes you uncomfortable (abuse-at-provider will most likely contact them shortly without involving you), I don't see the lash out or strike at you scenarios likely, in my experience usually you get a thank you.

To be clear, I'm not suggesting email "Bro, you are compromised, bye", I mean, you can just inform them that you received the link and were taken to a phishing site that looks like hosted on his machine, attach screens, advice them on next steps if you want to go the extra mile in niceness. You're doing them a favour without breaking any law, why would they get mad at you?
Maybe they should switch to Github. https://github.com/features/packages
When an airplane is shot at by a civilian, in 99.999% of cases there will be no big issues (read : multiple deaths).

Spot on. So, the one was a theory, the world being ruled by Lizard people is a conspiracy theory.

This list:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conspiracy_theories

Does not include anything even remotely like 'The NSA is listening in on all of us'. At present it is not even a theory, it is established fact but at no point in the past would I have put that on the same level of the items on that list.

The paranoid irrational beliefs one is the one that I think best covers the payload. The second one is only interesting from a pedantic/academic point of view.
Israel and the United Arab Emirates Reach Historic Deal to Normalize Relations
Yeah I wonder they did a backroom deal with Apple and Google. These backroom deals that Apple/Google are doing is so anti competitive for small app developers and they keep on stressing that they are helping millions of developers. If this is not unfair I don't know what is.
When I stopped working a few months ago, major cloud providers still had outstanding issues on their managed kubernetes.

The complexity of the configuration is huge. Zero downtime deployments and load balancing can be achieved without the complexity of kubernetes.

For example, drag and drop of .php files on a FTP server did that 15 years ago.
This is fine and completely fair, I bet is not cheap paying for storage for docker images no one cares about.
Software tends to fill the space it lives in. I have seen websites that are more taxing on my CPU than video games.
I am no expert in these matters. But from what I can tell, Volkswagen lists ranges around 400-550km on their German page for id3 cars starting significantly cheaper than any Tesla.
Segmented Log
Maybe differentiating between types of software could help? Desktop apps or games don't seem to have the same requirements as system and development stuff. As a Mac user I'm indeed pretty happy to have both app bundles and the Homebrew subsystem depending on the type of software I want to install.
Dino is native, which means it is more likely to get proper support of hardware accelerated video encoding/decoding, best case leading to less energy consumption during video calls.

It’s because an equally priced 2020 intel cpu is at most twice as fast as your Nehalem (now you can get a 6core for the same money you got your 4core). Per core performance improvement is not even close to twice as fast.
