Ha - I’m this guy at work except I’m a couple of times more productive than everyone else because I know the codebases back to front and our team is several times more productive than other teams because the code is neat and tidy after continuous refactoring for years. We added 2 engineers to the team and they were both shipping features after a week of training because the code is neat and tidy. Having close to 100% test coverage makes refactoring easier, although sometimes new bugs do happen. ;)
>Try to lock down versions. If you get a thing working with a certain version, there's no reason you need the newest new as soon as it's pushed. You can probably live with doing a scan for updates now and again.

Agree ! it irks me a lot that I often see update bots tracking new releases.. it is just begging to be exposed to regressions.

We need to find a happy medium though. Otherwise whenever you actually need to update something (e.g. you need add a new dependency which only handles one of your other dependency if it jumps 20 releases ), you have a huge version gap to cover.
If it’s actually harder to block ads in apps built like this, that’s a great reason for site owners to choose wasm.
Google could be broken up pretty easily into 3 or 4 units. Facebook, I don't know how you break it up except instagram/facebook would be pretty clean but insta is a fairly small business compared to the big ol' facebook machine. Apple could be busted up fairly easily phone/computer/accessories companies. I'm not sure how you would break up Amazon. Maybe Amazon sells only and then 3rd party sales could be busted out on its own but I think it would die pretty quickly without easy access to the shipping and logistics part of Amazon.
Can't you store them all as varchar? You could even have a type column if you wanted to enforce the types in some way at the application level.
As long as it works and is well documented, yes. But the moment there’s a bug somewhere or the docs aren’t adequate for your needs, you are in much worse trouble.
I don't see why it couldn't be built. Git merge doesn't always do all the work for you, you still need to evaluate the changes.
Well, there is that. But, rewind 10 or 15 years to when Big Data was really taking off, and the world was also different in ways that meant that your data didn't need to be nearly so big, even after adjusting for hardware advances, to qualify as Big.

Most the programming platforms and libraries that one might choose instead of Hadoop & friends didn't exist back then, or weren't or weren't particularly robust. So there weren't a lot of games other than Java in town. And Java (idiomatic Java, not benchmark-friendly Java) tends to reduce the volume of work you can squeeze out of a given hardware setup by introducing a hefty does of memory overhead.
It’s pretty much the same in terms what the feds want. Some states layer on their own requirements for their own policy reasons.

Places like South Dakota do things to enable them to make a few bucks from vehicle registration for out of state people.
I can only guess but, I think the parent means web development in the context of an HTTP server. (GET/POST/etc).

GKC's famous quotation[0] about "a thing worth doing [...] is worth doing badly" comes to mind. There's a joy to be had in allowing yourself to not be amazing at everything you try. For one thing, it frees you to try lots of things.

I came here to ask a question, hopefully one other people would like answered also:

If the funding for the FireFox web browser combined with all Mozilla projects/products, or is there some separation?

I would like to donate just to support development of the FireFox browser. Is that possible?

FireFox containers is a very important feature to me and supporting FireFox and containers is something I would like to support at a higher level than the few random Mozilla donations I have made in the past.
UPDATE: This position has been filled.
Somehow how they got my phone number and started cold calling me once a week for about 3 months before they gave up.

I'll never use Datadog for that reason.
Can I ask how? What does it correct or suggest that makes it so useful?
My experience is different. I manage a wiki. It was a wonderful success in terms of getting people to contribute, however the wiki itself (moinmoin) has lousy authorisation and authentication tools, so I wrote my own. A few versions later changed to moinmoin broke those tools, but by that time most of time content has settled down so I just reverted locking down the system by making the user database read only (literally: "chmod -R a-w"). That worked well enough.

However every so often you would have to create a new account. To do that the chmod had to be undone, but only for a minute or two. In that minute or two typically 2 or 3 spam accounts where created, and maybe 20 wiki pages spammed or defaced.

In short: defending the site had no effect whatsoever for us. The bots were always probing, every few seconds, and it never stopped even years after the site was totally locked down.

PS: SPAM wise the bots were just an annoyance. But every page hit runs moinmoin's Python code, and it's not the fastest thing. We were running on low end VPS's that took a dim view of anybody using too much CPU. Our VM regularly got shut down because of those bloody bots.

I think we need a new "antitrust" law that says companies can grow too big and influential. That's one of the big downfalls of capitalism, without restraints it can easily allow corporations and people to accumulate and hoard too much wealth and influence at which point it becomes a hindrance to society as a whole rather than a positive
I'm not sure what jurisdiction you are from but this is certainly not how it works in any legal system I've heard of. In this article published by an Australian law firm [1], the "electronic signatures" routinely used in commerce are clearly distinguished from true "digital signatures" in footnote 1. Digital signatures are only convincing if you understand how they work, and most people executing transactions don't.

The failure to recognize this distinction seems inherently linked to an authoritarian mindset.
I didn't see anything about networking - is that a feature you intend to include eventually?
And a great reason for users to resist it.
No, that's not what it's saying...
Each time somebody mentions, that 'libxslt2' is on an XPath 1.0 level (20 years old, we are at v3.1, currently) and how nice an update would be, the common agreement is the same: "lots of work, which nobody pays for."

Just thinking about all the money they burned through, how great would it have been, to bring XML up to current standards, and to support it well in Firefox. I mention this, because it is important, that we have at least one browser in the market, that understands XML native.

Or what would be if "Ubiquity" would have become an integral part of Firefox? Wow, just wow! I hate these people. They totally ignored the desire of many folks for a WYSIWYG XUL IDE back in the day as well... Instead they made Firefoxy parties, sold T-Shirts and coffee-mugs, implemented 'Persona', 'Hello' and what not! Did you just say, they bought 'Pocket'? Holy moly! I thought it was just a strategic relationship.
The behind-the-scenes API stuff may be no better, but the product's user experience can be better, and that can differentiate it from its competitors.

This is how Vivaldi (and I guess every other Chromium-based browser) pitches itself compared to Chrome.
> You might argue they lost the battle but won the war.

The tide of the war is turning, little thanks to them IMO. VP9 was a Google initiative and they were already interested in royalty free codecs because of YouTube. Chrome didn't have to lose the H264 battle to get to work on VP9 and other royalty free technologies. Mozilla didn't do anyone any favors by losing the battle of H264 on its own. It has only made them weaker for future battles.

Note that you've subtly changed the discussion from "here's why Google should be a public utility" to "here's what personally perturbs me about Google, and why I dislike it".

> Google’s “Ad” is barely noticeable, DDG’s “Ad” has very noticeable outline. Google doesn’t show URL, DDG does.

This is personal preference (and possibly subject to experiments), but when I searched "android phone", I found it easier to differentiate ads on Google (which shows "Ad" at the beginning of the line) than DDG (which shows "Ad" at the end, or on a second line if the title overflows). Both show URLs.
Healthcare Pricing in America – Costs, Portfolio Theory and Pricing Models
OK. But it is possible to critique Mozilla from a place of caring about it, and wanting it to succeed. Agree that pissy comments about "corporate doublespeak" are not that, though.
>Just like when Crimea voted to join Russia it was 97% [1].

In Crimea's case the majority of the population being ethnically russian, the neglect from Ukraine, anger over the maidan, russia promising pension payments and infrastructure investment and the opposition boycotting the vote probably all contributed to this result.

As far as I know the main thrust of the argument against this vote from the EU and Ukraine was that having the vote was illegal and/or unconstitutional and thus null and void.

All Russia cared about was maintaining access to warm water ports.
I'll fight the lifetime analysis with a smile if it means avoiding the null reference errors that happen all the way across the code and the bad type conversions causing all kind of user visible issues.
> BRB, going to go roll my own AES -- what could possibly go wrong?

Probably not much more than picking an AES library written from someone else.

It's fairly unlikely that your custom AES would function at all unless it was functionally correct.

Your bespoke AES will likely have timing sidechannels, but so will most AES you go pick off the shelf. (in fact, if you happen to need CBC mode, virtually any AES you pick off the shelf will end up having timing side-channels, because most code that doesn't is GCM only)-- particularly because it's hard to be both high performance and side-channel free without using SIMD, and to do that you need to operate on multiple blocks at a time.

In fact, since you happen to know your environment is targeting only hardware with AES-NI (in my hypothetical), you'll just use that and you'll even be free of side-channels too.

The "abstinence only cryptography" advice was originally about inventing your own blockciphers and such, not implementing existing ones.

Okay so you're smart and so you'll want to go take your AES from some highly reviewed sourse with lots of smart people. You pick.. say.. the Linux kernel. Welp if you picked the plain C implementation in it, congrats, you just got yourself a bunch of timing side-channels.

There are, of course, plenty of things that can go wrong in making your own implementations-- so it's not entirely misplaced to apply it to implementations-- but sadly you are not more likely to avoid them by simply picking one written by someone else. If you understand the domain then you can select a good library and evaluate it, but if understand that you could likely also write your own. :(

On the plus side, a simple blockcipher isn't the sort of dependency that is likely to have a substantial on-going cost either. It won't randomly change its behaviour (we hope, at least not until haxors take over the upstream repository), its functionality is simple and well specified, etc.

So it is probably fine to use one from a library and the OP's advice doesn't apply. But all the reasons why the code you wrote would probably be broken? They probably still apply to the library.
My comment was more a general issue. If you know what to do then planning specific slots to do them, makes sense.
> Boring is good.

Until you reach channels and realize that mantra apparently went out the window at some point.
If motivation and ability are both already there, I usually find the easiest way to move past procrastination is to choose a small-mid sized task and set a 15 minute timer.

Committing to working on that task for 15 mins, even if I really dont feel like it, is usually enough to get the ball rolling.
I doubt Belarus has the infrastructure to shoot them down, them asking Russia to and giving Russia the excuse that the US violated the Outer Space Treaty first might do the trick though. Depends on how much of a war monger Russia wants to be at the relevant point in time.

They are spread out with many satellites over a small number of orbits, pretty ideal for Kessler, or pretty ideal for another satellite to pass by a whole line of them and stick a bullet (small detachable impactor) in each.

They invested $150 million in non-voting stock, which wasn't a lot of money for Apple, even in those days. However, Apple agreed to make Internet Explorer the default browser for Macs in return for Microsoft to continue to developer Office for the Mac.

At the end of the 5-year agreement, Apple released Safari and the rest is history, as they say.

Why do you think it has to offer suggestions? Reading List didn't. The equivalents in other browsers don't. Suggestions could be a separate opt in feature.

What laws would it violate?
What do you all do with the collected metrics over time? Do you store everything forever, drop everything after a couple weeks, or something on between? I've heard of people thinning out old data a bit (?) and storing it long term rather than storing everything. What's the usual thing people do?

Because we are Segment event structure/API compatible, there is an inherent structure in events. You can pass arbitrary JSON but only inside the properties or traits field of track/identify call. We do automatically create the schemas for those cases.

Congrats on your launch!! Glad to see more projects in this space. Would love to checkout your repo and share ideas etc.
What sorts of dependencies are you guys adding to your projects? I've never had these sorts of issues with external dependencies.
Indeed Radio free Europe recently (in the last few days) turned on their medium wave broadcasts in Belorussian. I don’t know when they last sent them out.
Considering that in the hundreds of years since the US was founded there has never been a woman of color as VP candidate (or Presidential candidate with a major party), isn't that identity politics to always pick the white guy? Are white guys always the most competent or are we just pandering to the white electorate?

I have a love/hate relationship with Prometheus. If I had no budget for metrics its likely the thing I would reach for, but I’m dying for someone to open source a ‘next level’ metrics system (something like Monarch or Circonus but free).

But woe betide the team that has to run it as a service. Not that other metrics systems are better but Prometheus can be brutal in that space.

As a ‘squad level’ tool its really good. After that it gets hairy fast.
Sounds interesting but I'm going to have to read this later...
How do you know if you never tried it ?
Whilst furloughed from my job during lockdown, I found myself bouncing off the walls at home consistently enough to finally seek out the ADHD diagnosis I’ve always suspected.

I’m 29 years old, and one of my earliest memories is of my parents (lovingly) threatening to put an electric fence around my seat at the dinner table. I’d be up and down like a yo-yo after each mouthful.

For the last 5 years, “my friend” has been obtaining prescription pharmaceutical meds from the dark web to treat “his” symptoms. They’ve been life changing — one day of medication leads to more productive output than would ever be imaginable the rest of the week without them.

But they’re a double-edged sword. Like another commenter says, overdoing them leads to one feeling like a shell of their former self.

But at least you have something to show for it.

I put off my diagnosis for years, because I was afraid. I was terrified I would be told I didn’t have ADHD — at which point I would have no answers or excuses any more. If it’s not ADHD (that I know I can treat), then what the hell else is wrong with me? Or, worse, I feared I would be told that I was simply drug-seeking. I felt like I’d entered the Matrix — you take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland.

I’ve had 3 appointments with a psychiatrist so far, and, finally, my prescription begins next week.

If you seriously think you have ADHD, don’t make the same mistakes I did.

Life is too short to waste time fighting against yourself.
Is this not the exact phenomenon I was talking about? You have been able to write C++ for 25 years without Microsoft, but now you've gotten IDE envy and want to switch. Of course LSP will always work best on VS Code, which is the platform it was designed for.
That's great! We support Intercom, Salesforce is coming soon, and I can look into adding Calendly too.

Re: staying motivated.

I was always a solo founder.

I think for me it starts with experience. I co-founded a startup when I was just out of college, and the ups and downs and challenges with staying motivated were by far the most important thing that I learned. Since then, I worked at two different startups and different stages and saw them go through good times (acquisition) and bad times (layoffs). So I think those experiences helped me keep myself level.

I also have a good professional and personal network of mentors, colleagues, fellow startup founders, family, and friends. My support system has been really important in keeping me going. YC has helped tremendously with this part.

And finally, I personally feel a lot of responsibility to spend my investors' money wisely. A lot of people believed in me and took a chance on me, so I feel I need to uphold my end of the bargain.

Long answer, and the full answer would probably require an hourlong therapy session, but that's off the top of my head :)

Chaos is all around us. Get used to it. Roll an effin' die.

And, statistically speaking, because humans basically suck at being nice to each other, these people are probably either abused or abusers, and have some sort of deeply concealed prurient interest in such matters.

Most of your critique would be handled by proper input sanitation and allowing the user to review and confirm the best / default action.

For a modern QR code I'd prefer something that allows more data and which also mandates support for some compression algorithms and data filters.

Old QR codes are optimized for shrinking serial numbers, barcodes, and the like to a very small size on a product. That's a good use case and I feel they've sufficiently solved that problem domain.

A modern QR might include more like a very tiny web-page, with a subset of allowed entities for security. An icon, or a link to an icon, image (links, maybe bitstream embed?), and simple links.

I would ideally love to be able to hand out small files as blob patches on a business card, printed on a standard laser printer (300 DPI max resolution, assume 100 to 150ish DPI). Maybe two files on the back half. One a reasonable resume and the other a pack of public key data.

Edit, back of napkin math: In the US that would be about 3.5in by 2in and in the dot density about 1.5 in square for each of two squares. At 300 that'd be 450 by 450 dots, or 150 by 150 in the minimum. 22500 to about 200000 bits, not including ECC. The upper density I'd like only offers about 25K of data. This might be enough for a compressed mostly text document or some well-packed PQC safe keys and en EC crypto key or two for current use.

> We have developers committing code in their first week. Sometimes day 1 or 2.

If you're doing anything complex (which can just be: if your codebase is more than a year or so old) than the quality and velocity of code someone can contribute on day 1 is vastly lower than they can a month later.

I see the Mythical Man Month tossed around as an excuse for not trying sometimes - by people who haven't even tried to split up and spread out chunks of work in parallel - but onboarding cost is definitely real.

You gotta evaluate "can I get enough overall throughput at this point in time to make up for the total efficiency lost" and also the rest of the business priorities outside of this one project.
