Oh awesome. I never noticed or thought about it before. Seems like this means web extensions will be available on Mojave. Looks like that’ll be my OS until I upgrade computers.

Thanks.
Hydro is 16% and geothermal is less than 1%. Other countries have been able to offset 100% of co2 by exploration of geo, we should do the same here.

Their Lack coffee table is an iconic POS. It’s almost completely hollow but I’ve seen them last years and it doesn’t look that bad. It’s also really cheap so I’ve seen lots of hacks for it.

I think the hacking is where IKEA really shines. If you’re careful of what you buy, you can reconfigure, paint and chop up their furniture on the cheap and make it your own.

Ask HN: Why are WYSIWYG editors not de facto?
We have awesome tools for modeling real 3D models (Solidworks, Autodesk, Onshape, etc.) that do FAR more sophisticated things than your average 2D web page. You can design an entire working engine inside of one tool using only a GUI.

Wow. So much projection here.

IIRC, GMC was hacked using an exploit in their Bluetooth stack in the entertainment system through which they got access to OBD controller. All parts of the car are more interconnected than what people generally think. From a security standpoint, remote opens up a wide attack surface.
With all these companies wanting a slice of the billion-user pie, the iOS App Store doesn't exactly seem to be hurting for competition.
Yeah, Python is much much more readable than Go. I feel like performance focused languages are always less readable because the language needs to give you more control and I think Golang lets you work at a pretty high level of abstraction while still having plenty of control on performance. Once you know Go, it's pretty easy to read someone else's code, which I think is really nice. But "easy to read" might have been a little bit of a stretch.
I didn't flag it, but I almost did.

The part about the rust team being fired was just incorrect, I downvoted it for that (burying incorrect information tends to avoid it spreading).

Combined with ranting about a spec and a single reference implementation and it looks a hell of a lot more like like intentional flamebait than a misinformed user. They aren't related, are common points raised by known trolls on reddit, and are largely irrelevant. The most popular language in the world is probably python, which has no formal spec. If I had been in a slightly less charitable mood I would have flagged it for this.
Note that in some instances `scroll` instead of `auto` is warranted. When a scrollbar is placed because of `auto`, its contents are laid out differently than `scroll`, and might cut out some content.

Not sure about the Guitar Hero bit, but there’s a really nice, albeit very expensive, e-ink “sheet music” device. Product name is Gvido (not a typo). I’ve been using it professionally for about a year. Clunky UI, but hugely nicer than carting around books and sheet music. Form factor is more like traditional sheet music size than is an iPad, and it opens like a book—two side-by-side big, non-backlit pages. Turn pages with a Bluetooth pedal.
Maybe they should go back to prior practice where the Fed never set a formal target. From 2012:

> The Federal Reserve took the historic step on Wednesday of setting an inflation target, a victory for Chairman Ben Bernanke that brings the Fed in line with many of the world’s other major central banks.

Has Bernanke issued a mea culpa, yet?
Wow. Until this comment I couldn't see it. Isn't "rapier" (the sword) pronounced differently though?

I don’t know if it was arcane so much as it was very conservative in what it allowed.

Browser extensions can seek very wide permissions and are extremely powerful because they can automate requests from a user’s IP address.

I’d guess Apple only did this because they had to.
But not for IOS?

They want you have to have an Apple developer account, even though the extension is cross-platform. We need a separate "WebExtensions Store" that's cross-browser.
I can’t think of a situation where someone would need to be muted and it shouldn’t mute them for everyone. That is not a scenario that I think anyone would expect to work that way.
Wells-Fargo deserve to go bankrupt, but I believe the problem is the non-uniform nature of the law around sex toys.

Texas, for example, still has an idiotic law on the books that possession of more than 6 dildoes is illegal.

Because of that, many online sex toy shops simply will not ship anything to Texas.

The law has been struck down in US Federal court, but there have been convictions in state courts despite that.

It's quite valid. I think the biggest hurdle is noticing that when you mess up hard with git the hurdles are affecting everyone down the line, possibly irreversibly. If you mess up with mercurial, the hurdles are affecting YOU locally really hard, possibly irreversibly.

That's probably why it's the main reason git people hate hg and hg people are confused about git, until they really mess up, and outside people view hg as much more limited than git.

I don't really have a side in any metaphorical battle because I've had to set up CI/CD for a mix of git and mercurial, but simply giving in to the social pressure of the tech world I've become more acquainted with git over time than with hg as a junior and I can see value in both.

However at a higher level (organization level especially), it's critically important to look at the trade-off that the choice gives you.

I'm trying to be objective here in saying that unless mercurial gains more traction in the world, fortunately or unfortunately you should stick heavily with git.

Exactly. It’s a transparent ruse they use to bash democrats. They don’t actually care about fiscal “conservatism”. The base falls for it every time.
NoScript and uBlock Origin will not be happening for Safari. The API is missing and won't be implemented. Safari does not have the same full API as Chrome or Firefox. Instead, Safari relies on a more limited, Apple-specific content blocking API.
You have a 12 year old’s understanding of the world.
To summarize a couple of points about Safari's extension functionality for those that are not familiar with it:

* Safari used to have a "legacy" (and proprietary) web extension API that was essentially a bundle of HTML/CSS/JavaScript and was (usually) distributed through the Safari Extensions Gallery. Distributing extensions this way was free. While never a huge platform due to Mac Safari's relatively low market share, it had a number of fairly decent extensions.

* In OS X El Capitan Apple rolled their extensions signing program into the Apple developer program, which costs $100/year. Extensions that were not signed would be "untrusted" and would be quite annoying to install. Many extension developers openly criticized the move–some refused to continue supporting Safari.

* Almost simultaneously, Apple introduced their content blocking API, where extensions could declare a list of what are essentially regular expressions to block content. This model is quite similar to Chrome's declarativeWebRequest API in that extensions have little flexibility at runtime to vet requests. This API works in Safari on macOS as well as 64-bit iOS devices.

* With Safari 12 Apple deprecated the old web extensions model (no longer loading these) and introduced a new extensions model, App Extensions. These are native bundles that run out-of-process and communicate with JavaScript that you can inject into the page. Again, these bundles must be signed with a (paid) developer ID certificate and be sandboxed. Distribution via the App Store is recommended but not required. Any remaining extensions that share code across browsers (i.e. not using native code) are now locked out of the platform.

* (This announcement, which is a rehash of the one at WWDC from this June) In Safari 14 Apple is supporting a conversion tool that converts your standard WebExtension into something that Safari can load, with the same signing and distribution restrictions as app extensions (costs money, sandbox). Many simple APIs are available, but there is the notable absence of the ability to block requests–so uBlock cannot be ported, for example. NoScript does not seem possible to implement either.

* Safari on iOS has never supported extensions–this hasn't changed. The only extensibility available there is still just content blockers using declarative lists.
I agree with everything but...the losing of every violent international confrontation.

Maybe you'd lose against other modern, well integrated forces. But there is a lot of the world whereby forts, trenches, gun emplacements are still their best. And they are simply butter to the modern military knife.

Barring major catastrophe,(ww3, another american civil war, a pandemic that kills large % of younger population etc) it will take far more than 10 years to decline past that point.

The Iraq Military Exercise (I can't call that a war.) is a clear example of that.
I've tested it a bit:

- This looks really promising. It is aleady quite usable and there are some really nify ideas in there.

- The price is extremely steep for an app and in addition it it is recurring and the only options are yearly payments.

- Looking at what those guys have created and written before this looks like something I could lobe in the long run (end user programmability, local first etc)

To say exactly how good it is: if there was a monthly payment option I'd probably have signed up already just to support it (I do that from time to time with ideas I love even thought I often end up cancelling most of them.)

So, it's very telling when (nearly always white)
officers leap to unnecessarily violent tactics
on (nearly always Black) victims.

I could have been clearer about the context of my statement: I was referring to the police shootings that have made national headlines. My bad.

Nonetheless, while the overall reality of police killings in America is less dramatic than "nearly always", but it worrisomely lopsided. Black Americans are killed by police at a per-capita rate of roughly 2:1 compared to white Americans.

That is... not good. How do you explain that?
> By 2050 “we would see hundreds of these reactors around the world, solving multiple different energy needs,” Levesque said.

We can already reach 90% renewables by 2035 without these reactors [1]. If they get built, that’d be great, but they won’t be built in time to avert climate change. TerraPower has existed for 14 years and still hasn’t built a reactor. For comparison, the Kamuthi solar facility in Tamil Nadu, India, has a total generation capacity of 648 MW, covers 10 sq km and took 8 months to build. This work can be parallelized; more generation capacity deployed in the same time or faster with more people. Portugal just had a historic bid close for a 700MW solar facility at 1.3 cents/kWh. Nuclear cannot compete against such economics, even when storage is factored in to enable firm dispatch of renewable energy.

This is just ridiculous on the one hand it consolidates their existing tech. On the other hand it gives them too much control over web extensions as a result and they dont seem to have the nicest rep running the iOS app store.
I'd bet there are more Apple apologists than Germans who are offended by this analogy.
Browsers do generally have a limit on simultaneous outgoing connections per domain[1] - it could be related to that. (This is also why e.g. TFS breaks down when you open too many tabs).

> Honestly, it seems like you are playing a game. Did you perform a search of tools that can test ui? There are lots of them.

It would'be been so easy to just answer the question I asked. Instead, it's now a thread of non-answers and thinly veiled ad-hominem attacks.

The rest of your long answer is once again working hard on avoiding the answer.

> I find it hard to believe that you think there aren't any.

I didn't say there weren't any. I asked, "which ones let you test the problem in OP".

> I see our testers doing this all the time - but I don't know what libraries they use

Ah, my assumption that you don't know what you're talking about is proven correct.

> On our company's security team, various people have scripted UI exploits using selenium or appium

Question: scrollbars.

"Answers": tools click on buttons, scripting security exploits, I don't know what libraries testers are using.

Ignorance is bliss, isn't it?

> and she said it would take her a few minutes.

Given your answers in this thread, I seriously doubt your ability to ask a proper question to "the people familiar with the tools". Especially given the fact that you don't know what libraries testers use and that you, apparently, don't do any testing yourself.

See, frontend testing is very far from being "a solved problem". Especially for quirks as described in OP. But you wouldn't know because you, well, don't know.

> These are commodity tools. There is nothing special with any of them.

Indeed they are. Indeed there is nothing special. And this still doesn't answer the question.
Stated "Should local desktop control API be widely available to web apps and be commonly used?", the answer is surely no.

"Should local desktop control be a feature that can be enabled through web browsers for users who choose to use it with certain sites?" Eh, this is not so clear. What if by some magical turn of events Zoom decided on a drunken whim that user privacy is very important, and strongly encouraged use of web over desktop, should they just axe that feature? Back in reality, Zoom couldn't even consider that course of action until the web supports it.

Maybe do it by requiring users to install an extension that's granted remote desktop permission for a particular site. Which would at least allow the extension to be reviewed and audited.
Since it's relevant here, I will throw my hat into the ring for diagramming tools.

Terrastruct is a diagramming tool specifically made for software architecture. It allows you to express complexity by splitting the diagram up into layers and scenarios. Layers separate levels of abstraction, and scenarios describe what happens under certain conditions (e.g. server goes down). These are just things I wanted personally when designing architecture myself and couldn't find in existing tools.

Microsoft bought GitHub, Yammer, Minecraft too.

Microsoft has had various attempts at different social media, services, and more. They had a music streaming service, the shut down Twitch competitor. A few different social media sites like a photo and gif sharing site.

Microsoft seems like one of the best fits for TikTok when you consider the amount of money it will cost too.
Creatine cycling has been a thing since I started lifting more seriously, at least 15+ years ago. There was often a loading period, where you would take more, and a maintenance period, both normally given as a g/kg or mg/kg value of creatine to body weight. I believe the idea was either your body became less responsive to the increase creatine in your system of time or your stores become saturated. I'm not sure what research now shows or how seriously cycling/loading not taken these as I'm not a trainer nor a nutritionist, but it something I did when I first started lifting and that's what I remember learning about taking it.
You could also call red colour white but the books on history will continue calling it white.
I have always been fond of duplo blocks for this reason. They are totally undirected and up to the imagination. The resolution is too poor to really model what you want, so you have to dream instead. As a child my "tree house" was an 6x6 box on top of a 2x2 tower.
My primary issue with Safari is that I practically need an OSX device to test against it.
I’m curious if the same is happening on Mac or Linux when uninstalling.
Your article includes nuclear:

"Wind, solar, and battery storage can provide the bulk of the 90 percent clean electricity. The report finds that new fossil fuel generators are not needed. Existing gas plants, used infrequently and combined with storage, hydropower, and nuclear power, are sufficient to meet demand during periods of extraordinarily low renewable energy generation or exceptionally high electricity demand."
We do. The scale of financialization of our lives, our society is pervasive, invisible and touches every aspect of our lives.

Our housing. Our utilities. Our communications. Our food. Everything is financed. There is debt financing these companies. Many of whom would not exist. As one of my professors told me - you see a building, I see a mortgage.

Most of our economy would vanish without credit. Take a look at Islamic economies where debt and credit is fairly circumscribe and you see they much much smaller economies (ex-petro-dollar financed economies).

Block chain is just a payment mechanism? It is not even that, yet. There is a LOT more to finance than moving money around. That is maybe generously speaking 5% of global finance. I would say say more like 1%.

Sigh.
They need water source for cooling if the water is shared in a region and water temperature goes up, all the nuclear plants using that water lose their production.
The reality for people who own homes is that it's more or less trivial to track down an address in general unless someone has a common name and there aren't obvious clues to their general location online.
That's brilliant, thank you for making me aware of this!
Existing nuclear, not new. Those facilities will eventually be decommissioned, as they’re nearing end of life, but it of course makes sense to extend their operating licenses if safe to do so (to be replaced last after fossil generators).

If you break ground on a new reactor this moment, it won’t generate its first kw for years. Historically, over a decade, but folks handwave that cutting regulation and red tape would speed up the process, so I say years to be generous.

You can repurpose a lot of the space and themed bits, and some of them are truly wonderful, the ones which functionally allow bump-to-bump placement.
