I've tried a few other cases like those. It seems to me that Umlaute are fine when only a single word is used, even quoted, but a quoted string of several words where one has an Umlaut leads to the error.
I agree it's better than nothing, but my heart breaks a little to think about how we've completely dropped two of our senses on the floor when it comes to virtual social interaction.

We have more nerves devoted to touch than any other sense. We're a social primate species. We need to shoulders to cry on, hugs, handshakes, etc. We crave being in the same space with others, experiencing their physicality.

Even the smell of our loved ones is an important component of being connected to them. Most of us probably have deeply evocative memories of the smell of "grandmas's house" or an ex's shampoo. Scent is tied to our emotional memories more deeply than any other sense.
Endangered Firefox, the State of Mozilla

Unfortunately, for most outsiders (including myself, I must confess), Turkey = Istanbul, when a few hours drive out to the rural areas will prove otherwise.
Fully agreed that there's much to criticize about Brave, but the parent comment is talking about isn't just criticism _per se_, it's a higher proportion of poorly-reasoned and surprisingly negative comments than one would expect. I've noticed it too, and it reminds me of nothing more than Android-Apple threads in the early 2010s.

I doubt this is a complete explanation, but a lot of the nonsensical comments I've seen come from Firefox fans who can't deal with a browser neutralizing one of the most compelling arguments against Chrome (privacy), so they have to pretend that Brave's odd business model (which is totally worthy of criticism!) has flaws that it doesn't, particularly as experienced by the user.
You can use them to draw lines which you can then use to cut leather. They don't need to be "the" construction system; they are a construction system, and a very simple one.
It would be a shame if anyone was cancelled (at the time or now) just because of a photo like this. It would be double shame if Nirvana was cancelled, they were a major inspiration for maybe a half of my generation. That baby's parents consented, so that's it.
I did make the context quite narrow and add the caveat for people who are simply deluding themselves, but yeah, it's rude. I've spent enough of my professional life listening to people try to tell me what sales numbers "mean" to have any higher of an opinion.
What's wrong with spending less time with co-workers? These are people you have to spend time with, regardless if you like them or not. I would personally much rather not spend time with people I didn't choose to spend time with.
I mostly use ThinkPads as Linux workstations, and I was not aware that this was a big issue.
I'm wondering what kind of safety these would have. A 100 MW reactor in a single shipping container is crazy efficient - just curious what infrastructure around that would have to be built
Me too. Today I realized, yesterday I apparently threw away the bathroom trash bin with the trash.... (It was upcycled, so no big loss.)

Another ADHD compromise: I don't use the "eco" soaps (e.g. sugar surfactants) because, their remains are easily feeding algae (the orange one) and I, realistically, won't clean my shower every week. (Hope less than a week isn't considered the normal XD)

Honestly, I feel it's really important for ADHD people to allow themselves feeling a little disabled: We mostly endured so much misguided anger and being called lazy and such, it's healing to give ourselves that break. We're literally killing ourselves (life expectancy; suicide) over keeping up with an outside almost mechanical and estranged to human "nature". It's okay to search for our own pace and only comply with what's obligatory and possible.

(Not saying therapy and medication aren't necessary; not that it's all down to modern life.)
IME the S0ix sleep on a fully charged battery could last ones of days. So sleeping for an afternoon or overnight doesn't drain the battery too much. With S3 sleep I've had systems sleep for more than a week with only a little battery loss. It's only keeping RAM refreshed so it's way lower power than even just minor (massively under locked) CPU activity.

That being said I have not owned a laptop in the past decade that I trusted to sleep when running Linux. I've had nothing but problems with things like WiFi not coming back up or the machine randomly waking up in the middle of the night.

Those machines running Windows are much better. But really the only machines I trust to wake and sleep reliably are Macs. I haven't run into major sleep/wake issues on Mac laptops in twenty years of owning them.

>You should just stop bothering because it’s really not your place or any of your business.

Superficially yes, but if there's no enforcement then the accommodations do not serve their original purpose.
> This is an interesting point insofar as the second and third sentence seem to contradict each other. Am I over-simplifying?

It's not a contradiction. For instance: maybe you have an specialist (a consensus epidemiologist) that says if we don't do A, B, and C, then N thousand people will die. Maybe you have another specialist (an consensus economist) that says if we do those things, it will cost the economy M billion dollars. Maybe you have other specialists in those fields that say other things, but are fringe figures rather than consensus figures.

Now the political figure or ordinary person has a menu of options, and has to make the trade-offs between them.
Sentient looks neat! Does it use the same strategies as Prolog under the hood?
The leadership of the EU states know this well. They also know that industry in the EU is a hugely important employer and a major shift to importing more goods would be very destabilizing. So what does it tell you that they choose to move ahead with this policy, even though it means potentially weakening their economies relative to the competition?

To me, it says they finally see that the consequences of not acting to mitigate climate change are unacceptable, and that there's no solution without risk left.
>This isn’t about the control over users, but the app market.

On the contrary. I, a user, want a phone that is locked down. You are demanding that the government force Apple to stop making that phone. You are demanding that no such phone is allowed to exist: that the government steps in to remove that choice for me.

>I, as a developer, have no control over what phone you, as a user, buy.

No, you don't. And you shouldn't have. But you are trying to make that a moot point by demanding the government prevents me from buying the phone I want. You are trying to assert control over the choice of features of the phones I am allowed to buy.

And your propaganda is that you are all about freedom of choice.
In what sense have they driven the sales? By being the browser?
> It's easy to come onto HN and dismiss something like this.

It's easy because the EU and european countries have a history of virtue signaling.

Pretty much everything from environment to human rights, the EU and europe are the most destructive and yet pretend to be the best.

If the EU cuts emissions by 55%, it just means that they are going to ship their emissions to china, ASEAN, india and eventually africa in the next 80 years. That's it. I highly doubt they are planning on lowering their standard of living by 55%.
Haha. As a parent of a one year old I definitely can empathize with sleeping and waking difficulties.
You need the batteries (that is what is meant by "not working passively"). A passive headphone works without the need for batteries, at all. It may not have active noise cancellation or some other features, but it should work as a headphone.
Ah yes, we will stop cargo ships. Now we will ship everything by plane, happy ?
The one thing I wasn't sure that I liked with rust's dbg! is that I was typically passing the argument by value, but that sometimes works and sometimes fails the borrow checker. But now reading https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/59943 I see that this is a feature -- I hadn't been taking advantage of the fact that you can use dbg! inline; I'd just been adding extra dbg!(foo) lines to the code. So I should probably (a) pass by reference always and (b) look our for where inline dbg! might be useful (probably lots).
Hm ATS is prior art re: linear types and closures. It's definitely not the same.

That said, -XLinearTypes in GHC 9.x will open up a world of memory management capabilities in library-space for Haskell. Very exciting stuff! If you push the heavy stuff off-heap, then the GC just becomes a slightly fancier arena allocator.
> but perhaps surprisingly, time spent with friends does not then increase to compensate.

Yeah, one way to look at this data is that having kids and working is massively disruptful to maintaining your friend network, but working and parenting are both time limited. When those expire they leave nothing in their absence.

No, the context is whatshisface claiming that there is a (resolvable) tension between the concept of an exact representation and an infinite decimal expansion, and gowld responding that decimal expansions are irrelevant. That doesn't support the idea that we're talking about digital representation; it undermines it.

Where I live, Norway, 600 k is bigger than the capital city! Even 60k is not a small city. Only ten towns in the whole country have more than 60 k inhabitants.

For most of us having any kind of direct impact on even a few thousand people in a lifetime is quite an achievement.
My point is that in my original post I was criticising the buying behavior of people who would purchase this product.

If I understood correctly, you were arguing that people don't value longevity as much as other things, and I agree. But I believe that's worth criticising. I think people should value longevity more, for the sake of the environment, and their own wallet.
To answer your question directly, that $180B would fund 7.5 years of the SNAP program following the increase in benefits during the pandemic (https://www.usda.gov/media/press-releases/2020/04/22/usda-in...). But that assumes you could actually liquidate all $180B and have the same purchasing power as what it represents today. That isn't actually possible since Amazon's stock would crash once Bezos starts to sell large quantities of stock.

And to compare these big numbers against proposed spending, Medicare for All could cost $3.4T/year (https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/10/high-co...) and Green New Deal could cost $18T-$93T over a decade (https://www.factcheck.org/2019/03/how-much-will-the-green-ne...). So if we're generous and take the low end, we're looking at around $5T in new spending a year.

All the billionaires in the US combined only have a wealth of $4T (https://news.yahoo.com/wealth-us-billionaires-soars-during-2...). You could take 100% of it away and the Government would spend it all in an instant - after all, look at the state of our deficits and debts (https://usdebtclock.org/). And once all this spending is done, we will have removed the biggest incentive for future entrepreneurs to dream big, take risks, and build. And with government inefficiency, we probably wouldn't have much to show for that spending either, except slightly less envy among the masses who are complaining about inequality despite having great standards of living.

> If illiteracy is a widespread issue, then there are bigger issues at play.

There are bigger issues at play [0]. Largely the echoing effects of white flight on second-tier cities, and politically motivated defunding of urban education. As with most of the other forms of systematic discrimination in our lives, there is always just enough plausible deniability to avoid judicial ramifications.

I'm all for doing everything we can to ensure the people voting in our elections are educated enough to make informed decisions. I just don't think we should be doing that by depriving people of the fundamental right (in our system) to elect their representatives.

You don't need to prove that practicing improves gameplay.

Anyone serious enough to invest time into mechanical repetitions already knows the benefits of training and doesn't need convincing.

All sports have repeating structure and volume of work, I don't think this approach to practice is so revolutionary that it needs evidence of value.

Mid range studio quality with active noise cancelation, great build quality, good BL codecs (aptx HD+ || LDAC)? Name that pair please. Those 8y Bose QCs are not even close to being a mid-range studio quality and are worst than a sony xm2 or xm3 in terms of ANC, built entirely of plastic also.

You people are so quick to bash on this company for no reason.

The only headset that I consider on par with this one is the recently released (at 800 euro) bang and Olufsen n95. The price is not always the sum of parts.
The economy is the biggest concern of any country. The actual solution is a economically viable path to green energy, not "let's just migrate everything and ignore the cost", because people (particularly in poorer classes) will revolt otherwise (or elect the other, more fiscally responsible party).

It's worse than that. Getting used to something doesn't make it free. It simply makes you unaware of the cost you're constantly paying. Having convoluted abstractions really screws up your thinking. I've seen this first hand with class-oriented programming, Enterprise Java and design patterns. People were 100% convinced they are writing awesome code, when in fact they were wasting time and creating dysfunctional monstrosities. The same illness seem to be re-emerging in FP space thanks to the obsession with types.
Thanks so much for the recommendation!
The Google Cloud team had more incentive than other teams would to be an early adopter in dogfooding their own products, in this case App Engine specifically.

Ending up on Angular was likely a consequence of using app engine: all of the standard google frameworks for writing UIs have a server-side component to help deliver data and scripts to the client, and most of those frameworks would have been difficult or impossible to port to app engine (either because of the chunked transfer encoding limitation, or just the general awkwardness and annoyance of porting a framework maintained by a completely different team from borg to app engine).

The codebase probably started with something that looked like an app engine example app, transferring data and code to the client in the simplest way possible, but not the most performant or scalable way.
printf debugging (i.e. listing code execution traces) is better than a breakpoint-based debugger in most situations, in my opinion.
> they tried to convince ECMA and Brendan Eich to go along with adding immutable classes into JavaScript.

The historical causality runs the other way: I gave Waldemar Horwat keys to the JS kingdom at Netscape and in ECMA TC39 TG1 in late 1997 when I went to cofound mozilla.org. Waldemar then designed "JS2" aka "ur-ES4" (my term) which is still archived:

https://web.archive.org/web/20010119185300/http://www.mozill...

https://web.archive.org/web/20001206082000/http://www.mozill...

Believe it or not, Microsoft on the ASP.NET side got excited about this ur-ES4 work and did their own version, shipped server side as JScript.NET around 2001:

https://www.drdobbs.com/a-talk-with-andrew-clinick-on-micros...

The team at Macromedia I was in touch with after Firefox 1.0, mainly Gary Grossman, Edwin Smith, and Jeff Dyer, were trying to do a successor to Gary's ActionScript work (which was based on JS). They tried to license Sun's small footprint Java VM, for full Flash (not FlashLite) on mobile devices, but when Sun learned it was going to run ActionScript 3, not Java, they denied a license.

So Ed whipped up a proof of concept that the Macromedia folks could do it themselves, and this led to AVM2 (open sourced as Tamarin with Mozilla; alas the team got pulled back to work on a doomed Flash for mobile play, so Tamarin was in practical terms abandoned).

My work with Macromedians was a high point of early Firefox era standards rebooting. Jeff and I went to Geneva in spring 2005 to meet with Ecma and Microsoft folks to restart JS standards work in TC39. When Adobe bought Macromedia, we saw a path to ES4 as a standard. This ended only partly in tears, as AS3 was too static and different (namespaces!), but the good parts got into ES6.

But immutable classes originated with Waldemar's JS2/ur-ES4 work in the very late '90s.

Question: Does anyone have a good list of alternatives for the tracking and synchronization bits Google provides, except where you control them instead of Google?

I actually rather like having my search history available to me, along with my location history, and my YouTube watch history. But, like many folks, I'm wary of this information being shared with others without my consent (or when my consent is non-optional).

Is there a better solution for looking up my own search history than syncing my Firefox history across multiple devices and querying the URLs directly? Is there a good Android app for automatically storing my lat/long, mapping this to nearby locations from OSM, and syncing it to, say, a simple self-hosted database? Or possibly a good tool for syncing YouTube (or, better, all video) view histories across multiple devices like TVs and phones without logging in? None of these things seems like it is overly technically challenging, but it feels like a hole in some of the Google alternatives list I've seen.
I never used AirBnB for that reason: The hotel was mostly the same price. But I guess if I were with 2-3 friends, the equation will change. AirBnB is bad deal if you are traveling alone.

Up until the Vegas shooter in October 2017, you could add a mechanism called a bump stock to a standard semi-auto AR and make it shoot continuously like a machine gun. The Trump Administration banned the device (angering quite a few of his base). Is it difficult today? Not for someone who has some knowledge and connections. The how-to videos and files are still floating around. It's not recommended, obviously, because it's now an illegal modification, but there are thousands of them already out there and it's likely people are still making them in garage workshops.

Yes, ACPI DSDT being utterly broken seems to be a pretty common trip point for Linux suspend/sleep. For my Dell Precision 5510, I was able to patch[1] a missing device back into the DSDT, as well as 'fix' some thunderbolt port enumeration race condition. The hackintosh community was helpful in providing ACPI dumps from similar enough Dell systems in the same generation that I was able to paste in the missing device to get very consistent S3 performance. Using `acpiexec` was very helpful to simulate invoking sleep/suspend and being able to follow the execution path of where it would get stuck.

Also want to add that random wakeups can be triggered by interrupts hitting devices in `/proc/acpi/wakeup`. These wakeup sources can be selectively disabled once the problematic ones are identified. I disable XHC (USB ports), because it seems my routine closes the lid to suspend and _then_ remove peripherals.. which can cause a wakeup!

Most people in tech are not making $500K to write Javascript or anything else. And, even if you make a fair bit of money, $3K isn't a trivial sum to make even 12-16 hours of air travel a bit more comfortable. (It still isn't exactly fun even up front.) I do sometimes use miles and a co-pay to upgrade when I can but, generally speaking, I can get a lot more bang out of that money on other things whether meals or other experiences.

I pretty much stopped using Airbnb after getting a bad review from a host for “not tidying up” - what exactly is the large cleaning fee for?
