Your comment shows a fundamental misunderstanding of F/LOSS. It's a movement for software's freedom and consequently users' freedom.

Programmers from all over the world work on their free time on projects, some foundations exist supported by individual donations and companies' funding. Some companies release their code as F/LOSS.

There is no single entity that dictates what software is built and moreover people working on F/LOSS are (I would say) on average more aware/sensitive of their work's impact. I know for example that GNOME people are actively trying to better accessibility and would welcome the help (your time and skill or donations, or both).

Swift has Never, which is the return type of functions that don't terminate, such as fatalError().

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/never

It's currently not implemented as a bottom type in the sense that it's not the subtype of all types (discussed in https://nshipster.com/never/).
The title is a quite clickbaity but the article has good points.

Mozilla has no shareholders so the pay of its CEO cannot be justified by the usual arguments - that shareholders decided it presumably in their best interest. Comparing Mozilla with NGOs seems appropriate.
Maybe, I'm not completely clear on this could work.

What I imagine is that when I'm listening I need to wait the regular wait time plus network lag because the speaker may have resume speaking. The speaker needs to resume speaking before 250 + 100 has passed so that others don't start talking before the speaker resumes.
The point is: training GPT-3 is too expensive to be a hobby project, but creating a good dataset isn't.

Of course, you prefer the “alternative” which tells you actually the truth is just the opposite of what “they want you to believe” and you figured it out because you’re so smart and not afraid to offend people and go against the grain.
> no longer mere wrappers around something that exists in Win32, but rather implement all functionality in managed code, both behavior and drawing

But that's how we do custom controls in Win32. You can get very far with only common controls, but as soon as you need something more complicated you have to draw it yourself. Just because they're using C# doesn't mean it's not the same API or is not native controls.

WPF on the other hand is completely different, internally it only uses native calls to get the canvas where everything will be drawn and to handle input/accessibility (plus a few other things).
It's great to see more languages supported across more operating systems, though outside of iOS app development I am exceedingly dubious of the usefulness of Swift.
From my experience: they end in a situation where nobody is happy - they both try to figure out what is the best for the other person and in the end they both end up in a situation that is not good for both of them. I know, twisted.

No, Bloomberg does not have anything to fear from claims of bribery or trying to buy votes. As long as this policy is applied to anyone who applies for it regardless of any stated voting intention. It is not illegal for political parties to provide rides to the voting booth as long as they offer it to anyone who asks and do not try to influence the voter.

In this case Bloomberg is making a guess as to the voting intentions of this group, but there is nothing illegal about this guess as long as there is no quid pro quo either stated or implied.
Like it’s that simple. I want to see you “clear house and actually lead” when a huge internet fucking hate mob is after you.
From my brief googling, this seems misleading. We have only ~1,700 Federal judges in the USA, but our parallel state system has ~30,000 judges, which are uncounted by your linked graph.

“The fun thing is that the corporate system is worse than the feudal system”
And an even lower bar for the "free press": to refrain from driving the country towards a full blown civil war to generate clickbait, and maybe even consider doing serious reporting again, for the first time in 20 years. Trump is not entirely wrong. The US press is full of radical propaganda at this point because it's good for "engagement". People have been radicalized because of it. People died because of it.
There is of course a variety of opinions across any demographic.

My impression is that, aside from people who've studied abroad, Chinese youth today are more conservative and nationalistic than their elders. They've been fed only on a diet of domestic media with external news censored and have grown up only seeing their standards of living rapidly improving with China taking a more central role on the world stage.

The older generations, who suffered through the Cultural Revolution and then saw it end, and those who grew up during Deng's period are more likely to be liberal and sympathetic to the West. Even Jiang Zemin spoke English and liked Western opera.

But I think if you ask people of about any demographic, they will tell you Xi has changed the trajectory that China was previously on. The end of 10-year term limits demonstrated an objective shift towards one-man rule instead of an oligarchy where power was more diffused between elite factions.
Stability and peace? Definitely not in the Middle East.

Leaving those dictators there in place would have provided more stability than the current state of violent chaos and hundreds of thousands of displaced refugees.

I think Gecko doesn't have a chance. I totally believe trying to fight this fact is crying over spilled milk. Microsoft tried. They tried not to lose ground with IE 9. Then again with IE 10. Then with IE 11. Then with Edge.

If Microsoft couldn't win and had to accept Blink, Mozilla can't compete. In its current form, Firefox can’t win. And this critique comes from someone who’s main browser is Firefox. Mozilla can’t compete with Google and Microsoft contributing to Blink (or Apple to WebKit).

From a performance standpoint, Firefox is not better. From a differentiating standpoint, Firefox doesn’t have the extension capabilities it used to. From a user’s perspective, there is very little incentive to recommend Firefox. From a website maintainer’s perspective, every year there is less incentive to support Firefox. This is the same downwards spiral that Microsoft saw.

Gecko will die and Mozilla will have to accept Blink. It’s the hard-cold truth. And all of this is ignoring the fact that Mozilla depends economically on Google.
And it shouldn't. If no is saying fuck you, then that's a far greater problem than being too nice. As if no is politically incorrect. This would have been a far better story actually than the NPR people pleaser pleaser feel good piece.

In Japan there is honne and tatemae. So the corporate (and formal casual) bullshit is formalized. There's a script everyone follows to keep the peace. Then they all go out for a drink, and the cufflinks come off. The best scenario being, you get to say fuck you with the pretense of alcohol even if you're not drunk. And the wives know everything.

So ironically, many Japanese admire the US where there is less of this bullshit. Except, that's only the appearance. Freedom is the tatemae.

So the Japanese system actually works. In a system where you cannot avoid bullshit, scripted bullshit works wonders.

So you need to question the system and those that support it. As it turns out, those that succeed with the system support it, and they're the wealthy.
Ask HN: It's 130am and I'm trying to figure out if people still call it the web?

This is probably a dumb question but isn't this just null by another name?
piggybacking on this, the performance of Firefox on a Mac with a 4k external screen is abysmal. any action at all takes an extra second or two to perform. not to mention that if i start watching a youtube video it makes the fans go crazy.

i changed back to chrome because of this and it's so much smoother.
I have an LG WebOS television and it runs extremely smoothly. VS Code is an electron app and nobody complains about its performance.

Ultimately webOS didn't lose because it was web tech. It lost because Android and iOS already captured the market. Windows Phone was a .NET runtime with similar performance to Java, but it failed to capture the market even with billions in Microsoft subsidies.
I stand corrected, my bad.
> the ceo's value to the company increases because they are expensive to replace.

The CEO’s value in general increases but that of the current particular CEO which is running the company into the ground decreases a lot more than that.
Then those cases should be the exception to allow private lawyers rather than the rule. Another solution would be that the public lawyers should have protections against any repercussion from the state.
I feel like the only thing that can save Fx at this point is a community-funded, community-led fork. The only problem is: this project would need a lot of monies, so unless there's a corporate sponsor (or sponsors) it's unlikely to happen. And corporate sponsorship would require some sort of incentive that makes the investment worthwhile but at the same it it can't compromise the spirit of the project.

Let's say that the cost of a single full time contributor is $200k/y on average. Every 10 people working on the project cost $2mil/year - that's roughly the funds FreeBSD raises each year (and 3-4x more OpenBSD does). And I don't think you can continue independent fork with 10 people; you'd need 30-50 for the fork to make sense. I suspect it would be possible to get corporate sponsorship for the infrastructure needed so I'm not counting those costs but at this scale there's some legal and administrative overhead that has to be taken into account as well.

So the bottom line seems to be that you need around $10mil per year to let Fx survive as a community project. And I'm pretty sure you can't crowdfund that much. :S
They fired everyone who would've been worth promoting already.
> I use FF on mobile and it works perfectly.

Not anymore!

To be consistent with their business screw ups, they addressed this with the latest updates. Now the mobile app a mess like the rest of Mozilla.
> How anyone can claim that sort of pay hike when showing very poor results is beyond me.

Did you ever read animal farm?
Comparison of what exactly?

JetBrains' IDEs have built-in update managers. They present you each plugin, giving you a tick-box of which ones to update. The Toolbox app manages the IDEs, allowing to update automatically or not, install pre-releases, and roll back. It's polished.

The IDEs use the established desktop UI norms of toolbar menus.

They come with pre-defined 'Run' templates for many languages/frameworks.

There is a single Event Log for output of updates etc.

The left menu has words so I know what the icons mean, and isn't obnoxiously large due to over-use of large icons.
> Nobody was talking about Android.

It matters in the current context. Developers have a much easier time targeting the latest and hottest on iOS, compared to the only other alternative.

> And the number of people still on 12 is significant.

Not for long if 14 is already 25% in less than a week, and most users upgrade to the latest versions soon enough.
Are there any users here who actually ran Brave ad campaigns?

I'm wondering what is your overall experience, how much of your ad campaign traffic were bots and how did it fare compared to other ad platforms.
C) Talk to him, make time so that he —and maybe your other staff— can talk to a psychologist, and promise to retain him through breaks and treatment of that's required.

In other words, care for him. People have baggage. Help him with his.

If your idea is just to move the problem away from the workplace, you're just waiting for the fast it all goes wrong. It sounds like you have a good employee who likes the work, might accept condition of help and be with you a long time... You just have to help them stabilise.
Well, obviously a text editor built on top of Lisp is going to be pretty good at editing Lisp-based languages like Clojure. Emacs is pretty poor at everything else though. I remember trying to get it to do even basic completions in C++ beyond hippie-style completions and it just couldn't do it no matter how many packages or servers it had to help it. That was some years ago though, but emacs develops slowly so I doubt it's changed.

That said, the tiling WM features it has are pretty good.

"LSP tooling" for Java/Kotlin/Scala doesn't exist as far as I'm aware. I'm sceptical about LSP stuff anyway. In an IDE performance and latency really matters. IntelliJ plugins have direct heap access to the AST and editors so they can rapidly explore the code, add annotations etc. Java adds some overhead but it gets lower every year, they just never stop optimising the JVM, and serialisation/context switching is gonna add a lot back. Especially as you'll really want to be writing language servers in high level languages anyway. There's no justification for writing such a thing in C++ or Rust.
Both were quite shocking to me.

However the arranged marriage did not come as such a surprise, I guess because there's been a fair bit of talk about it here due to other immigrant cultures also practicing it.
In American corporate culture (most of the world's corporate culture), CEO pay is not tied at all to performance. The idea is they should be compensated well, otherwise they and their talent (even lack thereof) would go elsewhere.

Even if you really really believe in capitalism, I don't know how that is capitalist. It just seems like a "tails I win heads you lose" arrangement.
Can someone explain to me what's illegal in Singapore about having someone clean your house? I'm not following that part.
They "say otherwise" because that's the polite thing to do in this situation. A "voluntary" resignation keeps everyone on good terms instead of producing an inevitable slapfight between Mozilla and Brave. The resignation was pretty clearly under duress, no matter what the official / publicly stated reasoning might have been.

His stance was known, maybe, but it wasn't until after he was appointed that the backlash ramped up to its peak.
How to Drive on Sand Without Getting Stuck (2017)
At the end of the day, they failed at their original mission:

"It was intended to harness the creative power of thousands of programmers on the Internet and fuel unprecedented levels of innovation in the browser market. "

All of the innovation on web standards, web frameworks, etc. has been coming from FAANG and Mozilla is funded by them. They defocused and have been messing around with all kinds of other stuff.
The Vim extension in VSCode is very clumsy for many things, not to mention the lags and the slowness (which defeats the purpose of using Vim keybindings) that's what drove me back, but I keep an eye on Onivim[0] which aims to be VSCode with Vim as a first class citizen.

CEOs tend to have a pretty thick skin. If you think it is a fun job you should try it for a while. And it didn't stop Eich from starting up another company.

Besides that, he wasn't forced out, that part of the narrative is simply false. CEOs have been - rightfully, in many cases - accused of far worse than this and have sailed through just fine. That said, if my employees en-masse demanded that I resigned I might have done so as well. After all, the internet hate mob is easy to ignore but the employees you work with every day are not.

We wouldn't have this mess if publishers had actually been reasonable about ads and tracking, but everyone got way too greedy and plastered everything with ads and track their users' every move.
It is cached and written to disk. Actually they're now going further and supporting downloads of pre-calculated indexes.

I use IntelliJ every day and I'd say reindexing only happens now when there's an actual need for it, like because I switched to a different JDK (which may therefore have different classes in the std lib). It's incremental too so this doesn't bother me like it used to. Definitely an area of focus for them.
How to unblock YouTube content unavailable in your region?
YouTube has limited access to a number of countries and may need some effective and simple ways to fix it.
On the one hand, you are right. GNOME has been doing good work in the past. The move from CORBA to D-Bus didn't help to stabilize the AT-SPI, leaving us with a halfway broken system for years.
But please dont get me going on donating to GNOME.
I once donated 500 EUR to GNOME, back in the days when they had their friends of GNOME initiative. I was trying to earmark my donation so that it goes directly to Accessibility development. I neither got a thank you, nor did my donation ever get listed on their friends page. All I got out from this was the feeling that my money was effectively lost somewhere in the system.

Also, I am contributing to F/LOSS code since about 20 years. You might think I am "fundamentally misunderstanding" things. I believe I just have a different opinion on things then you. Lets leave it at that.
Yes, for example both the employer and maid could sign a contract for arbitration. Insurance schemes and protections for both parties could be part of this.

How it would work in practice would depend upon the specifics of the contracts and the quality of the arbitration. There's potential for both positive and negative outcomes. Ideally competition would create an equilibrium which benefits both parties.

There's a very pessimistic, knee-jerk interpretation I'd like to address. Outcomes are in no way guaranteed to go one way or the other in this hypothetical.

Better protections for workers would allow a larger pool of potential hires. This in turn could create a cost incentive for robust worker protection and liability. Insurers may guarantee the employer or employee by screening for potential misconduct.

This is not to say that it would be a perfect system, but that there is a potential for incentives to work in both directions. With enough scrutiny by brighter minds than my own a workable framework might emerge.
I did, but once again: IMHO this makes people think (a) private business is the problem, and leads them to believe more regulation and control is necessary, which is the opposite of what's needed to solve this problem of the state overreaching in control and regulation.
yes. it helps by reducing burn rate of good money.

Note that people pleasing is often a side effect of trauma and early relationship. Not that being nice is bad, but when you can’t put up and boundaries or are anxious about saying no that can often be a good indicator. Certainly not for everyone, but it would’ve been helpful for me to hear.

>>It explained a lot of the dynamics I had already observed, like why one of the best engineers in the place had never been promoted

Its not just promotions. It manifests every where. Job interviews, bonus payouts, onsite foreign work opportunities.

If you are a part of a minority group you are expected to be just too awesome compared to your peer groups to even qualify for basic things.

The whole system works in a way that you have to continually outperform your peer group to even qualify working at the current levels. When people say the system is merit based(It's not), they basically mean its a ruthless culling process where even small missteps from a minority person could mean the person losing years.
I have been using Sublime since 3 months and I like how lean it is. I tried VSC but I find it heavy on resources on my i5 with 24GB of ram. Maybe it is a perception thing though. What I find interesting is that UltraEdit, an editor I love, is not even on the rankings here.
I often use a 24" 4k display that I use at 2x and I never had any issue. With other "equivalent" resolutions it may be bad (never tried) but I've heard people complain about lag in that situation (even with a newer MBP and apps other than intellij).
The problem is that the modern web is very complicated. Building a modern browser requires a lots of resources and that needs a big team with steady funding.

While the money is available (google) having a team this big requires enterprise level management, which leads to enterprise level shenanigans...
Null is a value, not a type. Think of the bottom type more like the empty set rather than the number/address zero although there are similarities to both in type theory.
It seems a majority of people don't even bother to formulate goals, let alone write them down. Yet, the act of writing them down, already gives extra motivation and makes it more likely you achieve (some of) your goals.
Even if you really believe that they are probably people other than Eich and Baker who could do the job.

What's the reason for using a scaled resolution btw? Can't you just ramp up the font size in the IDE?

It looks like maybe a macOS issue as Windows/Linux don't have the same problem, but there's a port of Java to Apple's proprietary Metal API in progress for some time. It's possible that will fix it.
Well an IDE is more than just a text editor+syntax highlighting+a terminal.

It's also about type hinting, refactoring, debugging, etc.

And for the two languages you speak of it just so happens that the support is shipped with VS Code since Microsoft is heavily invested in the development of these languages.

For other's (even Python) support varies widely.
No pics. Less title space than on reddit. Lame.
I am also a Fairphone 3 user but I don't notice many issues. Are you sure you are updating /e/ ? I am on verions 0.11 now and it is very rare to have a crash or something else. I also believe apps are updated quite frequently now.
References to LineageOS (which /e/ is a fork of) and microG can be found on their "Getting Started" page [1]. I wouldn't call that "hiding". Also, don't they fund microG development since a couple of weeks?

I too am critical towards /e/ because I think that they have done very little own work for now. But hiding their reliance on other OSS projects isn't something I'd call them out for.
