Brave's adblocker is all native code, so it's a bit more memory/CPU friendly than uBlock Origin. There's also some enhancements like CNAME uncloaking[1], which only otherwise works in uBlock Origin on Firefox because Chromium doesn't expose the required DNS API support for extensions.

I think that the people who work on it have goal to run linux in it and that causes the project to be more complex than it should. For example if you use Linux on ARM you still need to build new containers, because the x86_64 won't work there, so why it should be different with FreeBSD? Yes, it would be great to run the same docker images on FreeBSD, but that should be a later step, and stuff like described in this wiki, could be used to accomplish that.

My Dad used to like telling a story about how when BART first opened, none of the trains had overhead bars because the trains were supposed to run so often nobody was going to have to stand.

It's kind of wild that that wasted space for MUNI underground is not a bigger complaint in the main. My fantasy is that the last 20 years of tunnel computerization for MUNI was going to result in multiple trains per station, or hooking multiple lines together at the entrance of the tunnel (IIRC they did this with the Boeing trains until the Meltdown and Bredas) in order to utilize the whole station length.

Or shrink and simplify the MUNI parts, there's no (apparent to a rube like me) reason MUNI stations have to be the same length as BART stations. Make 'em a single block long with NYC style foyers: attendant, turnstiles, ticket machines. No flowers, no coffee, no Jehovah's Witness tables.
Behind Netflix's Upheaval: Departures, Anxiety and Another Reorg
In Sydney, Australia's original underground rail system, the "City Circle", which began construction in the 1920s, they built "stub tunnels" at one of the stations, St James. St James station is actually built with two island platforms, to support being an interchange between two lines. However, only one of those lines was actually built. The other line, they covered it over to turn the two platforms into one big platform, and that line's tunnels go off some distance and then they abruptly end. The idea was, when the second line (Eastern Suburbs line) was later built, they could do it with minimal disruption to the operations of the station.

Great thinking ahead, except plans changed and when (decades later) they eventually decided to build the Eastern Suburbs line, they chose a completely different alignment. So they just had these stub tunnels sitting underground, disused. During World War II they were converted to being an air raid shelter. They've seen some other random uses over the years, such as being used to film TV shows, part of them is used as a maintenance train siding, etc. Now the government is seeking proposals for the private sector to redevelop them into something useful.

When the Eastern Suburbs line was finally built on a different alignment in the 1970s, they did something similar – it has two underground platforms at Central Station, but they actually built four underground platforms. Two of them active, the other two with stub tunnels not going anywhere. Once again, this was to support another planned railway line, the Southern Suburbs line, which has never built either. For many years, the never-used platforms were used as archival document storage for the government rail authority. Now, Sydney is building a new metro line. The Metro line is not going to use these platforms, it is using newly constructed underground platforms. But these never-used platforms are going to be converted into utility rooms for the Metro line.

Similarly, at Redfern station, there is a big pit in the ground which holds half-constructed platforms for the Southern Suburbs line. I doubt those platforms will ever be used for that purpose.

So anyway, planning ahead is a great idea, but often it just turns into a waste.
Companies do not have carte blanche to write whatever they want in their EULA and expect that it is legally enforceable. Often they will put in things that they know aren't enforceable because they hope people won't try to challenge it in court. There are contract laws, consumer protection laws, etc. that still must be adhered to.

Y'all realize the silliness here? People are willing to end their family ties due to becoming a fan for a political figure. I don't care which side you are on, but to be hateful against someone close to you, literally an individual that would, I don't know, give/lend you money to eat if you're broke, just because they "support" someone. And yes, it's a two way street, which makes it even sicker.

99% of people will never meet these humans playing government. Which is all they are. Flawed humans.

No matter how good or bad you think a politician is, you shouldn't revolve your life around them and their ideals. Just basing your personal ideals on someone else's bullshit marketing platform just so you can have an easy category bias against people is pretty fucked up. In truth, if you're a pro-politician anything, you're generally a complete idiot. Yea, unpopular opinion. But that was the real lesson from WW2. Don't follow any type of political trend or leader, no matter how well intentioned because the road to Hell is paved in good intentions. Make your decisions for yourself and judge people on their own character and actions. But hey, everyone loves a good witch hunt mixed with a lynching.
That's why start-high and walk away is a fair opening gambit in negotiations of this sort.

You can always come back around, but if they pursue you, that tells you something about their appetite.

Well, it's an interactive database backed web site. That describes like maybe 90% of the things running on AWS.

StackOverflow is useful because it reminds people that machines are fast, and you probably don't need that many of them to scale to large sizes. StackOverflow is used by the entire global population of developers more or less and it runs off of one large MS SQL Server + some web servers. No auto scaling (not enough hw expense to be worth it), no need for fancy cloud LBs etc.

Sure maybe your service is gonna scale to more than the world's population of developers. Great. But ... a lot of services won't even go that far. For them it's hard to conclude it's really needed.

To pull off a StackOverflow you do need skilled sysadmins though. As the article points out, a surprisingly large number of people who call themselves devops don't really know UNIX sysadmin anymore.

> Now if only if FreeBSD wasnt an slow, unstable, glued together example of an OS.

I really don't see how this kind of comment adds to the conversation.
As jen20 wrote, GNU/Linux really is glued together.

Linux is great, but FreeBSD are in my opinion both more stable and less "glued together". Since you have a clear separation between the system and user installed packages, there usually are less things that breaks. In my experience of course.

To be fair, I was kind of anti BSD as well before giving it a real chance.

In any case, I really hope the BSD:s continue to grow. One OS is never a good thing, and Linux seems to eat up most of the market right now.
That title is tough to parse..
Oh, I love containers and do most my work in them. However I also mind that that production needs are different than developer needs and have seen too many cases where containers made security audits (a new openssl update - where do I have to apply it?) hard ... and certificates triggered me ;)
systemd-as-SysV-init replacement was fine. It's all the other stuff that many people think is overkill: udevd being pulled in, journald, time sync, file system mounting, network management, etc.

> They think (correctly imo) people will like taxes less if they're hellishly complicated to file.

Their actual argument is that we should simplify the code itself, not try and hide its complexity from the payers using some computer system only available to the IRS.

They do think that you should have to file every year though, that is correct. That forces a bit of visibility and accountability on the government in that it shows people just how much they're working for the government before working for themselves.

This is similar to how the US makes sales tax visible to the payer, rather than hiding them behind an invisible VAT. It's about transparency.

I think it's unlikely to turn out like Detroit, and I say that as someone who wants to leave the region.

The region will continue to have many of its best qualities: good weather, (relatively) diverse culture, access to nature, and good employment prospects. The biggest issue with the region is the high cost of living, but any relief in housing costs will only make the area more appealing again. There's a high floor.
I’d love a tagging system a la steam game tags where announce-of-announcement was a tag with a community of interested and engaged people who were vetting and tagging and hashing out what it means to be an announcement of an announcement. And then also there could be another community of similarly minded announcement-of-event people, likely with a bit of Venn diagram overlap, operating independently. And so on and so forth.
We don't have the same idea of the meaning behind the words "create" or "creativity".

TikTok is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about -- you just want to create another vector for even more soulless, time-wasting popularity contests.

FreeBSD's point of distinction is that it's carefully designed and fitted together, compared to Linux's comparatively heavy use of glue.

I also haven't heard credible reports of it being slow, except for things it's not really used for (like drivers for consumer wifi cards).

My biggest beef with RPI is how much effort it takes it set it up as headless machine. Expectation was just plug USB-C cable and shell away. Nope. Connect to Wifi first. Then to use it's serial ports there's ton of conflicting info that I've gave up after spending days on it.

Finally no way to run headless if you wan't 64bit OS.

>What variable or data was mutated within haskell?

The stdout buffer.

Just because mutation isn't explicit doesn't mean it isn't there. Programming languages are not syntax devoid of meaning: they have semantics. What happens at runtime is part of what a programming language does. (Arguably, that is the most important part of what they do.)

>What this means is that imperative primitives must exist for any programming to work.

That's completely untrue. Imperative languages can be implemented as a subset of functional ones[1] and vice versa. Again, they're just different models. No language can do anything if it isn't implemented in a machine. A machine isn't "imperative"[2], it's a pile of atoms that do what atoms do, without paradigm or instruction. You absolutely could implement a pure functional assembly language. The reason nobody has, is because it doesn't matter: any Turing complete language can be used to implement any other language[3].

Try to implement `volatile` in C without using another language. Does that mean C fails to model real hardware? No, because it has `volatile` to get volatile semantics! Just like Haskell has IO to get I/O side-effects. Or ST to get mutation semantics.

I'm in Vienna, and experiencing this first-hand is upsetting, to say the least. Terror attacks always happen somewhere else, one gets desensitized to some degree.

But right now, the inner city in in total lockdown, helicopters are in the air, and they are still looking for some of the attackers who managed to escape. Friends shared videos that are just gut-wrenching to watch.
I know nothing about the tunnel boring industry in particular, but in some cases this is a form of regulatory capture. A large established industry player can afford to navigate the difficult regulations (either through scale, expertise, backdoor connections, etc), but a smaller upstart competitor can't.
Ambiguity is ever-present in human language, I’d say I rarely know precisely what I will read about when clicking a link here. Confusion between “email address” and “email message” is relatively mild, in fact (post about Kafka from not long ago comes to mind).

I am not the OP, and frankly I don’t believe full justification has a place on the web just yet. Hyphenation alone is rarely enough to make it bearable, and I think browsers’ rendering engines don’t do more than that.
I kind of hope that team doesn't manage to go over 300mph. I'm sure they can manage to make enough power to do it, but I don't think they have the team that can go that fast at all safely.
