I love it. It's the lightest way to have an ad free experience. And finally, after years of complaining, they added a working sync, so now bookmarks/logins/histories can sync, if that's your thing. To me, it is by far the fastest browser on both mobile(Android) and desktop(Linux).
The law firm known as Oracle didn't charge you one red cent or ask you to sell out, they just asked you to acknowledge that their product exists and was involved in your research.

Seems free to me. Thank you, Oracle, for providing your Oracle high-performance cloud computing™ for public research under the Oracle for Research™ program. You didn't have to do that.
FWIW, close friend of mine (who is a very talented engineer) paid for the Tailwind editor, and used it to build a small SaaS platform with Tailwind UI.

He had nothing but good things to say about it, says it was worth the purchase.

If you are looking for an OSS similar product, with less polish, I recommend Grapes.js

Haven't used it myself, though contemplated it. Would potentially have bought a subscription if they offered a free trial and could test it out.
Oh, no I don't think so. High-energy physics has a high cost barrier to entry. Even a simple experiment requires a complex apparatus ex. an accelerator, or a very high pressure vacuum chamber, laser cooling, Bose-Einstein condensates, etc. It's much cheaper to run experiments in chemistry, batteries on the whole are not terribly complicated. We're talking about going from hundreds of thousands of dollars to merely thousands of dollars.

You could go a step further and talk about computer algorithms or mathematics in general. The only cost there is a pen and a piece of paper. The only cost there is your own time. Some experiments and analyses cost more than others, it's just the nature of things.
You know that joke, Bill Gates walks into a bar and suddenly everyone's average worth is >1Million? Hehehe.

My guess is that 300k pvs mostly follow daylight probably on North America only. So you probably have peaks around 21-23 and almost nothing between 01-08am.

And of course, if you write it in C these numbers look awful, but I'd say for run-of-the-mill django they are quite good. I'm willing to bet most django sites you find on heroku free tier don't handle this kind of pressure.
Not the OP, but "right side of history" sounds like shortcut for "opinions that I personally hold".
Then I am sorry if I assumed you was trying to diverge from the main topic by comparing the struggle to advance in not-well-established scientific fields with a baseless paper made probably for political reasons. My bad.
I see. Yes, in the paper the scope was set to be model it on the space station: there's a habitable zone of the atmosphere about 50km up, and the mission parameters were to base there for ~10 years with multiple human/robot missions to the surface and a rotating crew. Other approaches (such as a supersonic plane) weren't considered.
The US does not even need to ramp up PPE production. Mask availability is good outside of the US, but you don't know if you are importing a fake one, unfortunately. This is solvable.

What's needed is additional certification labs and US-based quality control for imported N95/KN95 masks. It is very cheap to set up a new lab - all you need to test a mask is a ~$1000 sub-micron particle counter. Just keep buying samples of masks from various manufacturers and make sure they are not slipping on quality.

3M and Powecom now offer one-time-use authenticity code for masks they ship (see https://safeguard.3m.com) and other manufacturers will likely follow soon. This means that you don't have to worry about the middlemen doing importing and distribution swapping the product for counterfeit - all you need is a quality reputation score for manufacturers themselves, making the problem much easier.

This is of course should've all been done by the CDC and US Customs already but they are dropping the ball and doing only a limited amount testing. Maybe universities can step up and use their labs for testing?

Additional PSA for people reading this thread: you can buy reputable-looking KN95 masks from Office Depot(!) right now. It's an ear-loop design which is not ideal, but you could fix the rubberbands yourself easily.

I don’t need guns in the modern world, but they are not illegal, just restricted. In most countries you can legally own guns, shotguns and rifles.

It’s not that you can only own a shotgun that has been modified so it can kill only ducks and not police officers. Everyone understand that you can’t modify a weapon like that.

Crypto is a little different because the need is bigger. This means looser restrictions, to the point where having laws against using it makes no sense.

As someone who was at Nokia when Elop became CEO and had some (very limited) view into the goings on, as the kids say: "yes, this, +1".

Circa 2010, Symbian was clearly uncompetitive and MeeGo was far behind schedule. There was a fairly ambitious plan to build a new UI framework in Qt that ran on both Symbian and MeeGo -- the Nokia N9 used this with Harmattan, which internally I don't think we ever referred to as MeeGo, IIRC! -- but I'm pretty sure when Elop arrived he took stock of things and thought, "My God, this MeeGo thing is Nokia's version of Apple's Copland project," and it's really hard to say he was wrong.

Looking back, it's really easy to say that he was wrong not to choose Android, but it was seriously considered. The problem was that Nokia insisted on two mutually exclusive conditions: they wanted to use a lot of Nokia-based services so the new devices still "felt Nokia," and they wanted to fully partner with Google and market the devices as Android. And Google wouldn't do it. If you want to call your device "Android (R)" then you use Google services; if you want to use your own, you have to do what Amazon did with the Fire devices. Google wouldn't make an exception for Nokia, but Microsoft -- who by that point had, at least internally, realized Windows Phone was seriously floundering -- would. And so they went with Microsoft.
I ate at the restaurant shown in the lead photo while in Trinidad Cuba in January 2020. It's amazing how long ago that seems now. Trinidad had an amazing ecosystem of shops that catered to the tourist industry and the proprietors of these shops could make a good living outside the government's more socialist system. One shop with amazing hand-made crocheted garments had four generations of the family creating goods. Talking with them reminded me of value of extended family which we've (at least to some degree) lost in the U.S. simply because of our ability to move long distances easily.

I learned a lot of lessons (even entrepreneurial lessons) while in Cuba and hope to publish a series of blog posts on them when the day job becomes less frenzied.
I'm not aware of any shortage of masks in the UK now. There was at the start. You can buy a pack of 10 FFP2 masks (the EU equivalent of N95) on Amazon right now (ships from Germany): https://smile.amazon.co.uk/medisana-Respiratory-Protection-3...

Perhaps they've not got the US certification and therefore US hospitals can't legally use them? Doesn't stop anyone buying some for their family though.
On the internet, "recent" is not an very useful word. Even 5 years ago is literally a different era of the web already, so holding someone to account for shuttering things that for all the world seemed a great idea 5 years ago after only a few years because the web itself stopped being interested in those things is kind of missing the point. All those things are attempts at doing exactly what you're accusing them of not doing - all of these started in the expectation that they'd finally be something that could be sustained long term to either generate income or drive up user numbers (which indirectly generates income). What you're actually looking at is how fucking hard it is for a company that's already established on some corner of the web to come up with even a single way to sustain itself by moving into a different corner.

There's no money in making a browser, and even the things that look promising enough for a company that can't just throw 100 million at it because that's not even a dent in their budget almost always turn out to not be promising after even a year or two. When keeping those things running costs you more than you'll ever make back on them, you shut them down. That's what a company has to do.

That list is not "What did Mozilla kill", it's "What did Mozilla unsuccessfully try in order to not go under". It reads as a testament to the reality of how hard it is to make a buck on the web: everyone wants everything for free, and if it's not available for free, hundreds of bunches of folks will make a competing thing that is, and of those hundreds, usually at least one succeeds (and you never hear about the hundreds of failures).

Science is functioning as a religion. it aids the mainstream state system in maintaining social stability. It informs people's beliefs about what is feasible and possible to do and what isn't.

It even answers the question "how to be happy?" (there are many "science-based" modern approaches sold in self-help books and the like)

modern science is basically a religion. there are even some "atheists" going around trying to get "religious people" to think critically and give up their superstitious beliefs.

granted, it's a more sophisticated social construction than old-world religion, but I base this claim in terms of their role and function.

CMake is horrendous.

There was a reddit AMA when someone asked what the dev would change about CMake if back-compat wasn't and issue, and the dev said that hadn't thought about it. To me, that's the nail in the coffin: all engineers should think about how things ought to work, even if they cannot immediately fix it.

> I'd like to hear more about how you use Emacs as a "super-shell". Do you avoid shell scripts entirely in favor of Emacs Lisp?

No. But I do use Emacs Lisp to automate certain tasks and then wrap them up in an Emacs interface -- like highlighting some JSON to submit to an API endpoint, or using ivy to select a Docker container to start or stop.

> You mentioned network connections - do you actually do scripting with Elisp's networking primitives?

Emacs provides an OOTB way to hit API endpoints in the form of 'request'. So it's not just the networking primitives, but the utilities built on those primitives that Emacs comes with.

> there are many ways Elisp could improve to make this kind of usage easier.

Emacs Lisp has had two major warts: speed, and the lack of lexical scoping and CL-like constructs. The latter is largely addressed. The former is being worked on with efforts like gccemacs.

Exactly, if you can't be bothered to submit it yourself and chat with potential users, or even just other makers providing feedback, then you probably won't succeed.
The point of the article isn’t to never do anything someone else suggests. It’s to get you out of the habit of reflexively agreeing to do other people favors out of anxiety, guilt, or a sense of obligation. If you’ve said “yes” to every request that crossed your desk, you’re probably not going to be left with much time to go out for drinks or to go climb a mountain with your friends.

What you’re describing is more of a tension between going with your immediate emotional response (feeling annoyed that you have to expend some effort) versus your values (connecting with other people; other examples might be creating something, or leaving a positive legacy). That’s actually pretty congruent with the message of this piece. People who are habitual people-pleasers tend to let their initial emotional response of guilt or anxiety win over their values. The immediate outcomes may be different (over- vs. undercommitting), but the long term outcome in both cases is feeling like you’re living a life without much meaning or purpose.

humans are more flexible. They can look around and see interesting things and change plans to look at that instead. This is both good and bad - sometimes interesting things are more interesting than the plan, sometimes they are commonplace and the plan would have been better. Humans can often figure out on the spot how to put a tool to use for some completely different purpose.

A human on mars controlling the rovers would have explored a lot more than the rovers did - assuming they survived as long as the rovers have (this assumption is probably false even if we could get humans there - humans are fragile in ways robots are not)
Interestingly, the most friendly environment for us in the Solar system outside of Earth is Venus's upper atmosphere: About 25C, close to 1atm pressure, and 0.9G gravity. It's just like home except for the nasty air.

So, really as long as you have an air-tight membrane made of whatever material resists the atmospheric gases you're good to go. And if you keep a positive pressure then small ruptures of the membrane or leaks are not catastrophic for the occupants, who enjoy comfy conditions and plenty of solar power.

This is of course a very unusual political situation and it's hard to make predictions, but whatever harm it might do to the President personally, it seems likely to benefit him politically.

I'm from Spain, so my knowledge may not be translatable, but I will give it a crack.

A business that is set up as a "non-profit" means that it can't pay dividends. If the business earns one million dollars, I can't profit from it. This does not mean there aren't people in the organization with salaries. Sometimes big salaries.

You can have a "for-profit" company owned by a "non-profit" one. The dividends paid by the "for-profit" go to the "non-profit" but those can only be reinvested. In a way, yes, "non-profitness" is inherited.

I guess that the "for-profit" organization provides legal benefits. If one of your child companies goes bankrupt, it shouldn't affect the other ones nor the parent company. I have a few more guesses but I am not confident enough to write about them, especially when I am not from the US.
My understanding is that participating in a range of athletics programs is required to be a member of an organization like the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), which is required to participate in the most profitable sports (primarily football).

Therefore the fact that individual sports and athletes do not make money doesn't mean that money isn't a reason for student athletic programs.

Did Eich make any statements at all? I recall he was cancelled out because someone found a donation of his to a political cause. He literally just gave money to a cause.

Imagine if who you supported on Patreon or Ko-fi caused you to be harassed until you quit your job? Imagine if someone says you're a hateful bigot because you openly donated to a podcast. Imagine if a donation to the Trump or Biden campaign caused all your employees to turn against you?

If he was firing homosexuals for being gay, that would be one thing and unacceptable. I grew up around Christians who would say they find x or y morally wrong, but that wouldn't prevent them from working with people who supported x or y, or believing they were human beings who are entitled to their own opinions.

Real tolerance is accepting people who have different beliefs about core issues, and working with them despite those differences.

>why do you think higher comp will lead to better work ?

While I do partially agree, I don't fully. Those who are good at what they do get paid more. Now, that means they generally start competent and well intentioned. No amount of money fixes an idiot with ill will. I think a lot of firms are ignoring that concept in the past 10-20 years.

The short term outlook is also a huge problem. You see it often in action on Bloomberg with the markets. It's Christmas or Crisis every other day, absolutely ignoring long term positions. To me, that's the difference between capitalism and profiteering. Capitalism is a long term infrastructure play to make money (like Disney buying Marvel and setting up the MCU in a way that can create many, many products that build off each other) while profiteering is just turn and burn, short-term plays ignoring more than 12 calendar months.

Perhaps your non-profit question is the real kicker. How does Mozilla measure success? Market penetration? The end of IE? But then by taking in Google money, does that make Chrome a competitor or ally? From a user standpoint, Chrome isn't exactly the "good guys" either due to epic tracking. So that in turn makes a bit of a conflict of interest when you toot your "privacy and user first" horn while you're paid by one of, if not the biggest privacy invader... ever. Financial independence would be a good current metric... but with the ceo pay hike... I doubt that'll happen.
