Images are tricky. In the first few iterations, everything was left aligned and so images could just flow out and take all the space they needed. That was perfect for images, but less perfect for the reading experience. I'm torn. Sometimes I really dislike when other places cram big beautiful images down to their reading width; yet most of the time I'll agree with you--they should just flow with the text width.

I'll keep a mental note that someone actually took the time to suggest one thing over the other. Maybe it's the right solution. Maybe `max-width: 100%` with a click handler on the image that removes that, so you can toggle it up big if you want/need.
Exactly! (sigh)

I didn't expect to see this here.

My biggest excitement for this game is how it's being built with systemic gameplay at its core. For me, that has always been my draw to games. Their ability to model interesting systems and let you play and tinker with them. It adds almost immeasurable depth to a game.

I implore anyone with a negative or shallow opinion on the project to dive a bit deeper and check out their approach. It's such an impressive technical achievement already, and it is already a fun game to play with more content than some games have on release.

It gets plenty of negative press, and I think it's entirely down to poor communication. I can't see how anyone could be disappointed by what is being delivered, except for the timeframes.
> One thing that always frustrates me a bit whenever Mozilla comes up on HN or elsewhere is that we are always held to impossibly high standards. Yes, as a non-profit, we should be held to higher standards, but not impossible standards.

People talk as if Mozilla and others could exist in their magic bubble outside of a world where all comes down to money.

Being a non-profit means they still have to pay rent, loans etc. so there has to be enough money to do that. While many use Mozilla products without donating it is strange for me that the same people wonder about Mozilla not having enough money to keep all their employees and infrastructure.

Focusing on other actions that promise an increase in revenue is necessary if people just take without giving back.
Maybe there is. I didn't try it. But it's written rather explicitly "OK, so we have highlighted the shortcomings of SQL. Why do they matter? It’s all about ergonomics." That's what drove me off.
The cables have fairly high ratings but in the even of a short circuit, the ratings have a safety margin of about 10x that the cable can last about 6 hours under, above the normal rating under standard conditions (ie, not fire).

I have real issues with the current economic system not accounting for external cost of pollution. It’s clear that lots of satellite has a cost in that it’s disturbing astronomers work. For satellite providers there is no cost for disturbing observations.

Other examples of not accounting external cost:
There is no cost of fishing all the fish in the ocean.
There is no cost of polluting the oceans.
There is no cost of cutting down rain forest
Space junk something that will eventually have a cost

There is an environmental flaw of external cost in the current capitalism economic system which we cannot afford to ignore.

Thus I argue in current capitalism system we do not pay for pollution it’s “free” but there is a real cost for others. Thus the system is fundamentally flawed and needs to be fixed! Ops engineer comment.
I often battle an odd insecurity about taking too long to do things. I've taken some time to write this comment, for example, and I can't help but wonder how long all these other comments took to write -- How normal do I compare? If I'm slower than average, is there something wrong with me, and is there something wrong with that? Surely, I tell myself, I must be focusing on the wrong things, and my time would be spent more productively elsewhere.

I once thought it was an issue of intelligence, but my wife has helped me see the careful thought I put into every word, every stroke of the pen, every movement I make. The time I take is deliberate, purposeful. The issue I've recently faced is justifying the time spent to create a certain quality of art and work.

It feels quite normalizing to read about Dr. Seuss and his year-long struggle to create this book. Inspirational, even. Look at all the joy this man has brought into the world. Look at how his time spent has served everyone well.

Look at the fun he had along the way.

You can't quantify that against time. If you find a way, perhaps you shouldn't.

Skimping on security and removing the thing that made Firefox at least as fast as the competition...

What options do we have now then?

Because I'm surely not going to skimp on either of those things.

So there's a comment from the CEO here:
https://answers.thenextweb.com/s/mitchell-baker-aGY62z

"Please explain how your salary of $2.5 million couldn't be put to better use as part of Emerging Technology's budget?"

"Executive compensation is a general topic -- are execs, esp CEOs paid too much? I'm of the camp that thinks the different between exec comp and other comp is high. So then i think, OK what should mozilla do about it? My answer is that we try to mitigate this, but we won't solve this general social problem on our own.
Here's what I mean by mitigate: we ask our executives to accept a discount from the market-based pay they could get elsewhere. But we don't ask for an 75-80% discount. I use that number because a few years ago when the then-ceo had our compensation structure examined, I learned that my pay was about an 80% discount to market. Meaning that competitive roles elsewhere were paying about 5 times as much. That's too big a discount to ask people and their families to commit to."

No self awareness that rather than getting rid of people building interesting products, they don't realise that they should get rid of themselves and other executives.

Firefox has been on a downward trajectory in marketshare for the last 5 years. And they've struggled to reduce their reliance on search engine deals by creating other revenue streams.

They're all failures and have no self awareness.

Effectively answering: We've all got ferraris and McMansions to pay off
This is pretty much spot on. Except you also missed the main cost, which is the insane amount of time it takes to learn the 85 dependencies on your project to an extent that you actually understand what your code is doing.

Every single project I go into seems to have a smorgasboard of dependencies, then when I take the time to investigate one of them I find out it's being used incorrectly by at least 50% of the team because they don't even understand how they work at the most basic level. Which is pretty understandable because by the time anyone gets through understanding 10 of the 85, they've probably been kicked off the team for not actually building anything.

People love to say rubbish like "write less code!", as if LoC is the only metric that matters (weren't we past that thought process by the 90s?). Which goes a long way to explaining all the fucking terrible codebases I have to work with where it's impossible to accomplish anything without reading documentation for 8 hours, when it would take 20 minutes to just read even a semi-readable piece of code that implements whatever requirements you need from the dependency.
If it's a scam it's the most poorly executed scam I have encountered. They have hundreds of employees all working on two concurrent games, which currently releases regular builds. Is that not what people backed for? Not only that but it's truly a better space sim than most even in its Alpha form.

I have gotten hours of fun and atmospheric gameplay out of the scam to date and every quarter I get more to play with. Suits me fine.

The situation is far, far more easily explained by an intense project management incompetence and a vastly expanding scope.

My biggest fear is that they can't deliver on some of their technically challenging goals before running out of money due to wasteful project management, but so far they have executed all the big tech pillars.
There's a confluence of Q adherents and KKK/racist folks who are more than willing to get violent, especially with 45 egging them on. There is evidence of Proud Boys who've been caught starting the looting in Minneapolis and Portland because they want to "start the race war".

The whole Q thing is dragging our most vulnerable citizens into a conspiracy that is probably run by a few nerds from 4chan who are using it to make cash and have a joke.

I picture these dorks, sitting in a basement, smoking dope, playing video games, throwing out suggestions to further the conspiracy.

Nerd 1: "Brilliant!"

Nerd 2: "This is so much fun. What a bunch of idiots."

We had a little cardboard hood thing that went over the whole keyboard and covered our hands.

These days I forget it's unusual until someone else sits down at my computer and looks bewildered. :)
This is a very interesting research prospect and perhaps can be tested in earthquake prone areas, for example Indonesia regions near the fault lines.

Using the Android smartphone existing sensors (e.g. accelerometer), probably it can easily detect earthquake once it has happened. Japan has similar existing alarm system where they send SMS alerts to the residents of affected cities once any earth quake incident is detected, but not really sure where and how they put the sensors.

The more interesting approach is a system for prior alert of earthquakes. It is for predicting soon to happen earthquake, moments (or better several minutes or hours) before the incident. This is probably feasible due to many reports that mentioned animals got alarmed and look for cover themselves moments before the earthquake events[1].

For this prior alert detection maybe a more accurate front-end sensors are required for example, ADI's AD7768 sensor and connected them to a powerful cloud based earthquake detection back-end engine [2].

Ahhh. I guess it depends on what you're looking for.

Mellanox cards and related cabling is generally still pretty good (in UK and Australia anyway).

A few years ago I obtained a few 24 port HP Procurve switches (3400cl-24G), with 10GbE (CX4 connectors) on the back.

Those worked pretty well, though turned out to be slightly too noisy for use as desktop switches. ;)

Taking a quick look on US Ebay now, something like this (US$39) might have been workable:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-J9145A-ProCurve-2910al-24G-Ether...

I don't know that seller at all, but ex-enterprise HP Procurve gear should generally be pretty safe. From reputable vendors anyway. :)

For Singapore, I'm not sure. Might have needed to get something from the US shipped over. This one seems like it'd be ~US$80 including shipping, which was probably too much:

I would love this! I agree it seems like a missing feature of AWS. However as someone else commented I'm not sure how you could practically go about implementing it.
I can't parse your question. You say you have troulbe socializing and hanging out with your family and I presume that this is called "the other half of life" as stated in your title. Yet, the next sentence you call it the "other half of work". Do you feel like it is work to do so? If so, then there lies your issue: according to your experience, it might be the case that both work and the socializing aspect of life feels draining.

I don't think I can help you here as my experiences are completely different. I simply manage by not letting work get to me and feeling the urge to call friends and be with them. With regards to family, I have the same issue, but c'est la vie.

Consider finding a coach, if you have issues with this.
Yeah, you're probably right especially considering rust. Maybe they can crowdfund it. I think a lot of us and many others using OSS would pitch in to see that happen.
That is such a wrong yet effective solution to the problem.
Is Mozilla trying to kill Firefox? Without an active threat management team, it would be irresponsible to recommend Firefox to any of my less technical friends.

Nowadays, a dedicated, excellent security team is table stakes for a web browser engine.
It is not that much better here in the UK for specialised things like mental health. My local private specialist for ADHD charges around £1500 for the consultation, and it is hard to justify risking that much money to just be told you're lazy.
TSA agents aren't serious people because the agency itself is not treated as serious - as many have pointed out in this thread, it was invented by people who were essentially larping as "serious people", staffed by more of the same, and then given a mandate that is, in fact, very serious.

If we treated TSA as serious we would deputize them as part of DoD, or as part of CBP and abolish the "checkpoint" version of this security theatre we're all complaining about. The Theatre doesn't make sense, we all know it, and as you point out the people working for TSA implicitly know it. A serious TSA agency would have armed troops, along with a myriad of other detection technologies, patrolling airports as is done in other major transportation hubs like Penn Station.

I've accidentally gotten pocket knives, lighters, actual ammo (shame on me, was coming from a military reunion where we spent time at a range) through security in my carry on. Once I was randomly pulled out and had the "sniff" test run on my bag (admittedly one that was in Afghanistan with me), where they wipe it down with a small piece of cotton and put it in a machine that does some magic I'm not smart enough to understand.

It of course came up positive that time.
Talk about a chip on your shoulder.
Right. Not to mention pent-up demand for leisure travel.

I invest almost exclusively in funds because owning even one individual stock highly-disproportionally overweights your portfolio into that stock.

I might have to make an exception for AirBnb.
Slightly irksome when by "Browser Extensions" the author only means "Chrome Extensions" and provides no links to equivalents for other browsers. That in itself is fine, but they could've titled it with "Chrome" in the headline, not a general term like "Browser".
Only one thing lingers in my mind about Mozilla.

When Brendan Eich was made CEO, Mozilla employees did everything possible to make sure that he wouldn’t stay; all due to a single political donation from six years beforehand.

While I don’t agree with his position, the whole fiasco tarnished Mozilla and the people in it, at least in my mind.

Far from being held to an impossible standard, I feel like it suffered from a form of monoculture.
Like all of them?
They are not responsible for firefox itself but the infrastructure surrounding it from that thread.
Intermittent fasting is a lot easier with black coffee. I can usually make it to dinner time (~5pm ish) with nothing in me but coffee and water.

TikTok funds top creators to fend off rivals as Trump admin threatens ban

A good T9 typist is probably faster than a regular phone keyboard even now (gesture typing is, I'd guess, a little faster though) and is tactile so you don't have to be able to see the screen / keyboard.

> And it takes very little practice on even a basic keyboard to outpace a mobile "keyboard"'s input rate.

Yeah, but you have to care enough to do that. (And also have a physical keyboard available.)
The two biggest features that made firefox what it is were extensions and tabbed browsing, both aimed at power users. Take those away and it never would have been used by power users and no one else ever would have heard of it.
It's not only a Julia package though, is it?

If it's a full database engine, it might be usable from other languages. So the name makes sense.
That's a good point. A business plan along the lines of, for $8/month you get the pro edition which has all the latest features and updates, which the free tier would get 6 months later or so.

I use FF (dev edition) as my primary dev browser, and it's made a lot of progress on DX. Chromium has a smoother experience overall, but FF is not too shabby nowadays.
TIL it literally means "shiny", so if one wished to name a company or project after the new shiny, it would be something like Novum Lucidum?

Wow what a piece of shit. How will my poor family survive without $200k every month???
The difference in amounts between what Google makes per 1000 searches and what a profitable/sustainable search engine needs to make are quite vast.

Can't remember the source but G make around ~$70 per 1000 searches. Bing make less than half than this, DDG less again.

G commands higher rates because of higher competition for ads and also because of its retargeting and all the other methods that raise that per 1000 figure higher.

To answer your question (sort of), Google's non-ad version would need to be expensive to break even with its current model.
Electron beam lithography for direct writing ICs has been around for decades. Put down a layer of resist, expose with a steered electron beam. It works fine, down to at least 7nm, but it's slow. It's never been cost effective for making ICs, except for occasional one-offs. It's mostly used to make masks.
This is my preferred type of interface. Simple, fast, solid, to the point, and with shortcuts for (almost) everything.

The platform had to encompass all of those payments infrastructure responsibilities. I'm quite aware of their relative difficulty.

Separately, I did not have to implement a GNSS system, but at the job I had immediately after Visa, I did have to work very, very closely with GNSS vendors who integrated with our AV middleware software (including having to write drivers for them), and in my current role I'm CEO of a company which produces a software platform that provides automated V&V of complex SISoS (including those integrated with and dependent on GNSS).

End to end payments systems are hard in the rats nest of legacy expectations and integration sense. End to end GPS deployment & management seems hard in the science and systems engineering sense.

If you use Postgres as a single master on any storage device, you will also want to disable the slave writes, which seem to be enabled by default. If your device crashes with those enabled, Postgres may not start up again without manual intervention.

Also, use the most current version since Postgres has had a brutal number of CVEs in the past few years which are in metasploit.
