Lots of people on this thread are complaining about Mozilla doing too many "unrelated side projects".

Honestly as a dev that sounds to me like a culture where engineers are too able to run free. If anything.

But of course swiftly kicking people out to staunch the bleeding - as happened recently - can cause a lot of pain and backlash too. New executives usually cause strategy/org thrash which sucks for everyone at the bottom.

Just saying these things are hard. Executives have to make decisions that suck, doesn't mean they're vampires. May be very painful for them too.
No they are not.

Show us where they sell those slate or terracotta solar tiles they demonstrated. They are sourcing pure black tiles from China, that anyone can buy. That's it.
Try Rider. I feel like it has all the usual JetBrains IDE features but it's faster than IDEA and the Unity integration is superb.
Out of all the Smart TVs I've tried (Samsung, Sony, LG), webOS is probably the best in user experience. Naturally, more expensive TVs with better processors run smoother, but my budget UHD TV from LG with webOS 3.0 ran pretty great.

Bazel’s:

* each build file is independent (unlike CMake where the project is one big script with global scope and side effects)

* build script evaluation is hermetic (cannot read time for example) and strictly reproducible

* target is rebuilt not by timestamp changes (which is unreliable for several reasons), but instead all dependencies must be declared, and target is rebuilt when the hash of dependencies change

It better be. I expect the retirement age where I live to be over 70 by the time I retire (it is currently 68)
> Mostly I find this amusing and chalk it up to cultural differences. But I can't help but conclude that Indians are almost obsessed with "placing" each Indian-appearing person they mert based on their ancestry, and find it hard to move past this.

I feel your chagrin. I would be the first to admit to my privilege that my skin affords me. When I travel, I'm not mistaken for Indian and that leads to some very strange encounters.

True story, I'm standing tired and defeated in front of a border agent in a well-developed SE-Asian country. The border agent looks at my passport. Looks at my face. Looks at the passport again. And says, "Hold on. You're an Indian citizen?? But you're so white and polite!" and proceeds to tell me about how bad her night has been.

That is privilege. I was afforded the benefit of the doubt and allowed to carry on.

In India, I have never been stopped by the cops on the street. As India slides into fascism, I've oft expressed my fears to my lawyer and he's said - "Don't worry! No policeman is ever going to bother you, you're so pale and fancy and have a lawyer. He'd be scared of losing his job"

I am fortunate that I do not fear persecution when I walk down the streets. At the very least, not beyond the usual stalking and staring and ever present harassment.

In a time distant enough to be my past, I took the apartment complex's staff out for ice cream, and I saw them rush about for ID just in case someone asked. And I asked them if that was a regular thing. And they said yes, it happened to them almost every time they were out. But it had never happened to me. In an ID-obsessed country, other than for paperwork, no cop had ever stopped me on the street and asked me for my ID.

I met up with some black travellers once, and they did not share my experience. They had to carry ID with them all the time. And this was in Asia. Even miles away from American shores, they were still afraid of the police.

It is lonely. It is suffocating. It is depressing to live the life I lead. It's a society where I cannot socialize, where I cannot find nor keep gainful employment no matter what I may offer, where life moves past me at rates that are hard to understand, where I live in fear of them. A stranger, a minority, living in a strange land.

And yet, I'm privileged. It could be worse. It could always be worse.

A textbook 'whataboutism' comment.
The concept is valid.

Suppose someone's great grandfather stole from my great grandfather something I was supposed to inherit. They inherited it instead.

It remains stolen property that belongs to me.
I was talking about interpersonal relationships mostly. For work I can't answer much, depending on the context, a job is a job, you signed for it, if the boss respects you and it's important for it to be done then I'd have no issue personally. If the job is disrespectful and not important I'd say no and do something else for the company.

For chores.. that's up to you if want to live in filth. It's hygiene, nobody wants to do it, but it makes the rest (the things that you really like) a lot nicer.

Cloud Executive Demand Surges by 224 Percent Amid Covid-19
A few years ago I got down to memorizing a deck of cards in less than 2 mins.

First assign a person for each card.

Use the initials of the card. So Ten of Hearts would be someone with the initials T H(eg Ted heath, Thomas Hardy). Choose a person that is visually easy to remember.

Then when you are memorizing the cards use the method of loci. Go on an imaginative journey with 52 places and put the relevant person in that place. It helps if the place is associated with an action. It also helps if the action is weird, rude or strange because these are the things we tend to remember. Similarly bigger, more colourful loud images are easier to remember than small dull, mundane ones. If you keep having trouble with an image /place then change it

I practised everyday when I had a spare 5 mins and eventually worked up to memorizing a full deck.all in all it took about two months and I learnt alot about my memory
Their target market uses mobile clients for the most part; I assume it isn't worth the time & effort of developing a desktop client to be used by a very minor portion of their userbase.
Honest question - do you?

I assume it's easy to set up a monthly donation.

Or would you rather they start demanding or pleading for money?

EDIT: To be fair, I don't either, and I do use FF. I donate to wikimedia and the internet archive but not Mozilla.

I wish as a community our reaction to Mozilla's troubles was "let's all start donating!" instead of "screw those evil pigs".
> These neurotoxins localize specifically to the stinging hairs and are miniproteins of 4 kDa, whose 3D structure is stabilized in an inhibitory cystine knot motif, a characteristic shared with neurotoxins found in spider and cone snail venoms. Our results provide an intriguing example of inter-kingdom convergent evolution of animal and plant venoms with shared modes of delivery, molecular structure, and pharmacology.
Is this is your only argument against Bazel, I consider your comment a praise of that build system.
I wasn't in the room so I'll take Brendan Eich's word for it.
The same could be said about your comment.
It'd be interesting to see how many sites actually honor custom settings. I have my doubts.
It would be helpful if we spoke about highly uncertain estimates like these differently, as the 2 degree rise is a middle-of-the-road "best guess" scenario in a complex system.

Their "best guess" isn't very good. What's your best guess for the number of COVID cases in your area in 2 months?

Things could be significantly worse than IPCC's estimate, or not that bad. We really don't know. From that uncertainty we should begin to think about things we can do to limit risk.

When there's relatively unbounded downside, you buy insurance (of various forms, financial, operational and other).
Two Questions to Ask When Taking Tough Decisions
Imagine you live in a country where about 40% of the population wants to destroy democracy.

Even if the other 60% regains control, isn't your society basically fucked anyway? Because you can never trust that 40% with any kind of power ever again.

Because the moment they would regain that power, they would try to forever cut you off from any power ever again.
Your insipid whining about the 1619 project has nothing to do with this article on climate change.
Not just the US. There's currently only a single country that seems serious about reducing climate change, which is China (based purely on what they're saying). And looking at history, we always tend to only react when things impact all of us, or at least many of us. Some examples:

- Vehicle safety

- Smoking

- Asbestos

- Lead

All of this stuff only got limited when it killed many people and even then a lot of proof was necessary to convince countries to do something.
Because they are supposed to lead those very employees. If you are going to square off over something like this in the workplace then it will - obviously - impact your ability to do your job.
Hi! This is the second part of my new Python behind the scenes series that covers the compilation of a Python program. I'd be glad to hear your thoughts on this part and the series in general.

Haskell is not at a tipping point yet where it's losing it's excitement. E.g. with RecordDotSyntax and the new haskell language server many longstanding pain points will be solved soon. There's especially lot's of excitement around haskell and web web development. Take a look at what we're doing with IHP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbDtS_mUMpI&feature=emb_titl...
https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/

Soon you can even deploy haskell web apps in 15 seconds: https://twitter.com/larsparsfromage/status/13066539171876495...

Growing between 5% and 10% weekly. Many new people are starting their journey into haskell with IHP :-) While the community might be changing, it's definitly not dying.
For me the biggest hurdle is the disconnect between the way CMake and Visual Studio see the world. I still use it but I have my own batch files for preparing the environment, installing the dependencies, and building the CMake files in a directory outside my source tree.

CMake you run to generate files that will build your thing in a single configuration (platform, runtime settings, etc).

Visual Studio wants to have a solution where you can switch between many configurations (platforms, runtime etc).

Yes, I have looked into latest Visual Studio CMake integration but it doesn't suit my needs because it puts the build files in some arbitrary hidden random location on disk.

>I was thinking the same, but for Amazon.

Hmm nice idea with Amazon...or Linaro OR IBM/Redhat OR SUSE..
It has become clear that a pandemic is the only way to handle climate change. Covid-19 is not enough. It needs to wipe out 40-60% of the world's population. This percentage should be even higher in the developed world, which is overwhelmingly responsible for most CO2 emissions.

It shouldn't have to be this way, but humanity has had decades to get it's shit together and has failed relentlessly. It will continue to fail until it is too late.

I hope a bioengineer / virologist / communicable disease specialist reads this and does what needs to be done.
Ruban shared links that lead to dead ends,
but I've found the document talking about EPSM.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1012.2547v1.pdf

It contains lots of benchmark results, but I don't understand how they can be useful for me, as I can't reproduce their way of benchmarking or how big the haystack really is.

In fact, I don't really understand any of this.

What's making matters worse, HyperScan has no binary for windows. I'd have to compile it myself, using cygwin. I can't find a precompiled binary. It irritates me that there is no easily available windows version for what's supposed to be the fastest pattern matching solution out there.

But worse, it seems to be creating pattern matching files for faster matching, making it relatively useless for things like grep. On the plus side, it hinted me at an additional way of improving my solution's performance.

I never considered that people might wish to save files which allow for faster pattern matching.

1) always comes up in HN and it’s totally hilarious. Seriously I do not know (and do not care) what is the “right” way to write CMake anymore. It’s kinda like C++ where everyone has their own standards for writing code (think of Orthodox C++ vs Modern C++) but the consensus is even more scattered out in the case of CMake.
Turns out about two days ago I moved the Chrome icon back to my Android home screen. The latest Firefox Android version (80.1.3) had a catastrophic UI facelift. The top bar moved to the bottom. The colors are ugly. And there is a race condition between the address/search bar and your finger: suggested items appears at the top of the list with a timing such that it is very likely you hit them instead of the recently visited site you were aiming at.

The article makes me sad, but I am also sad to see time/work being wasted for needless UI updates.
> The IPCC predict 2 degree rise by 2050, and a 6% reduction in gbp growth, not gbp.

IPCC models don't take into account the feedback loops.
Also , things are moving faters alredy that they have been anticipating, so expect these predictions to be completely obsolte in few years.
A counterexample would be the ozone layer depletion, that should give us some hope, but it's true that the problem was orders of magnitude easier to solve.
Thank you for not using "exponentially". It's way overused.

But if Firefox stays its course and doesn't gain new users, it'll be done for when the next hot browser comes along or current users have enough of what's happening behind the scenes.
> Trying to hold onto racism, misogyny, and homophobia as “traditional conservative values” is the problem here.

Repeatedly framing opposing views as "racist", "misogynist", "homophobic" is a perfect example of this. Let's not speak up lest we get labeled with one of those.

I'm not aware of anything in this thread that has anything to do with race and yet that's the first word in the triumphant trio of your counters.
Precedent. Companies tend to spend effort to keep others at bay but as soon as they are no longer a threat they move their effort elsewhere. As long as FF has a viable territory Chrome will be there to compete with it.
I think that it also depends on funding, for example:

- you have great seed funding and decent runway, you can afford not to have all the required features to make the product viable for longer z and can do a better job.

- your potential investors want to see AI being used in your stack before they close on a funding round, so you cludge a basic autoML model or basic tensorflow network and put it somewhere it won't break stuff and scream "we're using AI". Then actually do it when it makes sense properly later.

- you need a massive client to show board you're capable of revenue, they demand a feature in order to close, so you build it ASAP.

I think what I'm trying to say is the lean startup art is to carefully leverage technical debt and feature debt in the appropriate times, and have a culture of cleaning little bits as you work o other features.

Having a good eye for architecture and clean code is the secret sauce. As long as there are people reviewing code who understand this, you'll hopefully end up with isolated technical debt, which can be kept under control and won't sink your startup when you expand and accelerate growth.
Nobel Prize-winning economics of climate change is misleading and dangerous
> Yeah, that the tech industry is a meritocracy is a myth that's popular with the white educated middle-class men who like to believe they have more merit than other groups.

Dunno about all of that ... I myself am not sufficently race obsessed I guess. What I meant was that in most cases people get ahead for reasons that have little to nothing to do with merit, and in my experience also that have little to nothing to do with race.

Maybe if you find yourself constantly surrounded by racists you should evaluate how your choices contribute to this. I don't have this experience.

And I'm pretty sure there would be some legal implications for what you claim, so if you are aware of this and not reporting it I'm pretty sure you face potential legal liabilities.

I think it is pretty disgusting that people just look the other way while they witness racism. If I ever saw anything at my place of work that would suggest any racism in hiring choices the person would not make it to the end of the day.
I read the EO and the article. Your analysis is flawed and grossly oversimplified.
I suspect you know this and are trying to stir up emotional sentiment because you dislike the current administration.
Project 1619 has shown their lack of desire of being objective, in particular lack of their wish to admit mistakes.

That article might be good, but I would have to fact check every statement, and still not be sure they did not hid some facts not fitting their narrative.
Finished a project very analogous to this, with marine vessel traffic data (AIS mostly).

It's fun to visualize these patterns, but the business case soon ran out. People don't really care about absolute numbers. Diff is what matters the most.

Most of the analysis is "OK, how does this value compare with one week ago". Can't really do that in QGIS/ArcGIS... no matter how pretty the visualization.

In the end, time series always emerges victorious in capturing the right information/visualization ratio.
Most Swedes are also oblivious to Sweden’s “caste system”, in my experience of living in Sweden my whole life.
> potentially impersonating the SSH service

Assuming the remote client has authenticated the host in ~/.ssh/known_hosts and assuming your unprivileged user hasn't got access to the host's private SSH keys in /etc/ssh then I'm not sure how they can really impersonate the service.

On my system the private keys cannot be read by an unprivileged user. However, the trust-on-first-use model of SSH is an obvious Achilles heel.
Another example of how Singapore treat low pay foreign workers:

So in a car, you're supposed to wear your seat belt, right? It's normally a traffic offence, but not if you're transporting construction workers at the back of a truck[1]. It's perfectly fine to make them live in a room with 12 other workers, with limited toilet and kitchen capacity. It's fine to ignore them when COVID-19 hit, until it's no longer possible to do so[2]. Singapore is built by the workers, and they're considered disposable by the system.

You do have a legal system, but nobody in this situation did anything illegal. Clearly what "everyone sat down and agreed on" is insufficient, when both sides are saying that "thing X the other party did was legal but inappropriate".
A couple of thoughts:

* The models are continuously updated. Recent measurements of land surface temperatures and polar ice sheets have been tracking worst case scenarios, not the previous expected mean (see e.g. Arctic ice sheet melt-off in 2020).
* There are considerable confidence intervals around predicted temperature increases and related forecasts, e.g. GDP growth.
* There are considerable nonlinear dynamics such as thawing permafrost or sea-floor deposits of methane, or death of carbon sinks such as forests. This means that the outcomes of the models can diverge wildly from the mean expected outcome.
* I believe IPCC models do not take into account the political upshot of massive loss of farmland and habitable land in the tropics (i.e., refugees and wars).
At first I thought this was a news article, but looking into the author's writing this looks more like political ideology and propaganda wrapped in a pretense of pointing out the opposing ideology.

Banning ideas and research as "poison" and "dangerous" and even prohibiting public debate is about the most un-American position I can imagine. Was I the only one taught in public school that McCarthyism was bad and stain on the country? McCarthyism is still defined as the practice of making accusations of subversion or treason without proper regard for evidence.
It should be this one: https://www.quelsolaar.com/ministry_of_flat/
Perhaps for some.

Others died of starvation or in food riots, which was suppressed by the media. (Politicians didn't want to offer bread lines because of "moral hazard.")

Protest camps were setup around the Whitehouse.
No, the problem is that people don't understand what non-profit means. It has nothing to do with the internal structure of the company, employee salary (CEO is also an employee) etc. It has to do with external structure, i.e. ownership and distribution of profits (which there cannot be any).

Mozilla CEO's salary isn't even that big, in the large scheme of things.

https://www.erieri.com/blog/post/top-10-highest-paid-ceos-at...

I agree, though, that non-profit shouldn't automatically be conflated with beneficial or working for the common good, as is common.
>I agree. And if you let me, I want to add that for small projects it is ridiculous overkill.

I don't think it is. On Windows at least, it's still easier to build a VS project links with libraries and everything linked by editing a text file than it is to go through the GUI, and VS is worth using as a debugger if nothing else.
CFCs are a hopeful counterexample
