I recently watched a post that had a good conversation in the comments get flagged and removed on the basis of "the author is a college student, what do they know". Was really disappointing to see.

Overall I enjoy my experience here, though.

That's when you change the edge icons in the shortcut bar and on the desktop to point to firefox.
Yes, I will. Please post here when you build one.
Clean and simple code is rare.
I've been using Tig for years. It works, it works well, it is fast and mostly intuitive.

Usually people like it and want to use it after they see me using it.
Firefox can trace its history back to Netscape Navigator, released in 1994. It has failed and come back before. Even if the Mozilla Foundation fails, Firefox would likely survive in some form.
Or don't show ads.

I never bought anything from ads. Why do you even trust what they offer is any good? I'd rather search around and find what I actually want.

Ads only give you false impression it's what people want by reaching to users first.
Even if that were possible it wouldn’t really explain why you got this ad vs some other one, so the explanation would fall flat. That is just “how” you got it not “why” you got it.
An asset being speculated on does not rule that it does not have inherent value. Every asset has a speculative component, just look at the stock market.

There is very little attractive about the idea that a group can devalue currency on a whim. That's exactly why people opt in to Bitcoin.

As to how much depth a snowflake has, IDK.
I paid quite a bit of money for my iPhone. If none of that got back to the people who made it, I would certainly like to know the reason why. It is not my policy to stiff people for their work.
Meh, if you want to see really great pictures of snowflakes, checkout "The Snowflake: Winter's Secret Beauty." written by Kenneth Libbrecht and photography by Patricia Rasmussen. Libbrecht is chair of the physics department at Caltech and has had a life long passion for snowflakes from his early days in North Dakota. He now studies snowflake formation in his lab. I read it cover to cover and cannot recommend it enough. The book dives into the science of snowflake formation. You can find the book for $4 at Abebooks.

The manufacturers are not stupid, they know the next stop will be legislators. Companies prefer to get ahead of things and self-regulate if they know that the alternative is almost certainly going to be government bureaucrats stepping in (which they will anyway - this is going to be like BPA). The results are damning enough that they probably don’t want to waste any time, and finding an alternative will probably take some research.

Note that they said this affects every tire on the market, so this isn’t a case of reporting a few manufacturers. This is going to result in an industry-wide change.
Lambda School is the biggest mistake. The most interesting part of Lambda School is that MOST (if not all) claim to have learned to code by themselves.

I'm yet to see a decent programmer who attributes their skill level to their school and not the books they read, the hours they practiced and stackoverflow / google.
I have a very extensive emacs config myself (10's of thousands of lines worth), and try to use it for most everything as well. I'd love to use it to manage windows too, but, like I said, it's not nearly stable enough for me for that. I don't want my WM to freeze up when emacs does.
How does it compare to other tiling window managers? What are the unique features you would say you like the most?
Drowned in VS Code Instances?
Absolutely this. I'll highlight two sub-commands of bspc that are particularly helpful for "building your own window manager" as you mention: You can dump the entire state of bspwm to JSON using `bspc wm -d`, and you can subscribe to window manager events using `bspc subscribe`.

An example I've implemented for myself: When opening a single app in an empty workspace, by default bspwm stretches the window to fit the whole screen (as usual with tiling window managers). On big monitors, this can be pretty annoying (e.g. staring at the very upper left corner of your 32" monitor when using a terminal). Using bspc, I can listen to when new windows are added, inspect bspwm's state to see if the new window is in a workspace on its own, and then use bspc to adjust the margins on the workspace to make the window a more comfortable size in the center of the screen. Even in Python I can do this in ~100ms.
Some still do, but it's quite an effort to go through for not as many possibilities as there used to be. Most of the features that once required jailbreaking are already baked into the OS by now and theming is not as big as it used to be.

That being said, there are still some useful tweaks that convince people into doing it, and of course if one wants to just test their apps without worrying about signing them.
Just about every page on the site explains what they do, or describes part of what they do in a way that makes inference easy.
Goes along with what another poster asked about symmetry.

Two snowflakes right next to each other in the same storm aren’t identical, and there’s no reason to say that they should be. Why would a single flake have symmetry to itself?

Is it just getting down in such a small scale that the molecular bonds of the water can only make so many different angles?
I love tig.
Well, the normal window management makes you confirm to its way of working, too! For each window, at each point in time, you have to decide what the size and position should be.

At one point I had lots of windows open and positioned them how I wanted with the size I wanted, every time I used them. Then I realized that the positions and sizes actually didn't change for certain windows. And I hated having to move windows around all the time!

For example, my email program could always be in the same position with the same size, no need to make changes to this from one day to another.

Currently, I've got keyboard shortcuts to move the current window to a position/size I like. E.g. one keyboard shortcut for "covers 100% of the screen", another for "covers the right 75% (and 100% of the height) of the screen", and so on.

But this approach restricts you to specific arrangements of windows. E.g. if you want to have a "right 75%" window on top, with a "100%" window below it so that the left bit "peeks out", but the windows aren't always the same, then it gets more cumbersome to arrange it.

(In my case that doesn't apply because there is only one application that I run in "right 75%" mode and there are only two that I want to peek out from underneath.)

Tiling gives you convenient ways to have different arrangements without having to invest a lot of manual work, and for some people this is useful.

For example, dwm provides a layout of two columns, where a single tall window goes in the left column and the other windows go in the right column, stacked above each other. It is really easy to go through the windows, and it is also really easy to move one window into the left column. So you can have a main window that you are working in (in the left column) while you can watch the other windows on the right. And it's really convenient to to change the window you're working in, and you can always follow what is going on in the other windows.

I encourage you to try this different way of working for a bit. Maybe you can learn something from it. Perhaps it teaches you something new so that you an adapt the way you work.
It would be pretty silly to say "I created a library" and conspicuously omit the language it's written for.

Hmm, you may be right. Perhaps the maximum for Bitcoin is the value of all assets of all economies. But then you would be leaving out the service sector ;)
I’d say they do pollute the world with disinformation.

That is just as much an externality as the pollution you mention in your examples.
I don't know about Windows or Linux, but on Mac it's far from the best browser. It uses more resources (power/battery, memory, etc) than Safari (and sometimes Chrome[ium]), the UI is a mix of old and new code, and system integration is worse than Safari and Chrome.

I use it, but both Chromium and Safari are better on this platform.

> I suspect this is a very small effect, but I doubt it’s zero.

As I said, minimal. If I save money by pirating content and then use that money to pay higher tips to service workers, then maybe they'll turn around and buy more content - helping content creators. These are very tenuous links.

The more clear link would be the used market shifting the demand curve for the new market outwards due to the resale value. I think this is a real effect, but a small one.

> I've long wondered why Mozilla hasn't worked on a embeddable Gecko engine as an alternative to Electron.

They have. Several times, in fact. There was the old embedding, then XULRunner, then Firefox apps (I'm not sure if that's the same as webapprt). But these efforts generally only lasts a couple of years before Mozilla decides it's the wrong approach and kills off the embedding.

The book Blue Ocean Strategy basically brings up a similar concept. When running a business, you need to think of the bigger purpose your potential customers try to fulfill by spending money.

Say you're a high-class italian restaurant, you'll find that you compete

- not only with high-class italian restaurants

- not only with all high-class restaurants in general

But in fact with all businesses that allow the customer to spend the same order of magnitude of money in return for the same high-class treatment, leisure, and relaxation.

It may sound daunting, but it in fact also means that your potential market is much bigger than you might initially believe.

This is what large companies do. The propagandistic terms known as public relations and reputation management. I just hope people won't think this is over once Facebook is dealt with.

>smear campaigns

France was also running a smear campaign in a foreign country. Just like Russia. Just like the US. Just like tons of countries. I don't think anyone should be doing it but you've got governments and quasi-governments (corporations) engaging in this behavior of steering public opinion. Neither of them are righteous.
>The problem? Firefox’s founders are all long, long gone. Brendan and Mitchell are Mozilla’s founders.

Well then, you should have thought about that before you forcibly kicked out founder Brendan Eich because you disliked his unrelated politics.

You can be a woke company that belittles everyone who doesn't share your narrow ideology or a company that makes a good web browser with a sound business model. You can't be both.

Firefox has been a shitty web browser for many years now. I've largely abandoned it for Brave (interestingly created by Eich) and Chrome. Good riddance.
Bitcoin is like any other software, the limitation is only on a social level.

> I mean I'm pretty sure the cop spawning itself is a placeholder mechanism they just never got around to

Is this meant as an excuse? Because it's not. Either they left it out because they ran out of time, or they didn't bother implementing it from the beginning, but the result is the same: they released a game without core mechanics fully implemented and the critiques are justified.
C++20 Modules Landed in GCC
If you look at table 4 it's pretty obvious all the model does is separate people who post about politics from those who don't.

Given the methodology [0] this result is unsurprising. Those labeled as "unreliable" seem to be universally political, while those deemed "reliable" are mainstream sources that may do stories on a variety of topics.

Can you share a ballpark figure of the kind of income a website like this generates ? Thanks !
>Environmentally friendly is not measured on one indicator. Perhaps in terms of energy-intensity, paper is higher than plastic. But energy use of store bags is relatively negligible anyway, not to be ignored but also not a grave threat. But in terms of the spread of plastics and biodegradability, a one-time paper bag is certainly better than a one-time plastic back, and not quite as negligible in its impact.

The problem here is that increased energy use applies to every bag used, whereas the concern about biodegradability only applies for bags that are mismanaged. A plastic bag that's buried in a landfill or burned in an incinerator is a non-issue, and most (almost all?) bags end up properly disposed.

>Besides, if plastic is being replaced by paper, it simply shows incentives work

Is it? The parent commenter said that plastic bags were banned, not that they were taxed.

Not the op, but I was shocked to see how much effort was required to disable mouse acceleration on a mac. Dragging the slider to 0 doesn't do it. Editing the plist doesn't do it. You need to install some custom mouse driver with kernel extensions to have 1:1 mouse movement.
> If you can load malware on the PC, you might as well just extract/copy the data while you're in there.

Not necessarily. There might be scenarios where you're permitted to bring software in, but not take anything out.
tig is a curses program, it's an interactive terminal GUI (a TUI), as opposed to a CLI e.g. you can browse and interact with your log rather than dump it in a pager and need a separate terminal to dive into a commit or whatever.

magit is a good alternative, it's not exactly a TUI because it works entirely inside emacs and uses emacs concepts, but it's entirely text-based.
NextJS is awesome, but vercel as a business still doesn't seem to make sense to me.

There is a free tier and then pricing starts at $20/user/month. For unlimited usage in deploying and consuming static/generated/rendered content and APIs.

iiuc, vercel runs on aws. Isn't the math fundamentally flawed on this kind of a business model if it isn't backed by owning the compute/network substrate first? Egress charges would be brutal. Targetting gross margins of 60-70% sounds like it would be hard.

Would love to hear from VC/founders with their insights, esp for building dev tools businesses and "monetizing" frameworks which isn't something that's happened too often (or happened at all recently?)
It has been much better for the past 5+ years, but what I did with my workstation is I installed Arch into a btrfs file system. Now when I `pacman` whatever, it'll create a snapshot first and then run the updates. If anything breaks, I go to the grub menu, boot into the previous snapshot and rollback into that state.

Never needed it yet, but it's good to have. I remember the problems in the past...

Chrome didn't dethrone IE and displace FF because google advertised it, it was legitimately the best browser at the time. FF was awful, and so was IE.

I keep trying FF, but I honestly haven't found it sufficiently compelling to go back. I don't mix work hardware and personal business, so I don't need multiple profiles. I prefer chrome's debug tools.

Maybe we will see how manifest v3 plays out with uBlock, that might actually be enough.
This is mostly people complaining about weird names like RPLACA or having to type #' because it's a Lisp-2. From the MIT perspective it can feel inconsistent but for such an old, practical language, it is really well designed.

Haha, yeah. FB's business model is everything wrong with us as people and capitalism: exacerbating the worst in us for greater engagement and clicks driving more and more to the FB ad machine. F that.

I wish Apple would go whole hog and drop the hammer on all tracking even going so far as to ban it from apps in the store, heck, don't stop there: make sign in with apple a requirement for all apps that require some sort of login and do away with social logins altogether.
> VPN services are not hard to build

Maybe not hard to build, but they are decidedly non-trivial to maintain. Their whole purpose is to get around the business/political decisions of one organization or another, and those organizations are making it increasingly difficult to be got around. A "real" VPN company has to deal with service providers on both ends of the tunnel trying to detect and block them, compliance with complicated legal situations in every country (and state) they have a presence in, law enforcement demanding access to logs and traffic, fraudsters trying to create accounts with stolen payment methods, attackers trying to make their way into the system for a variety of nefarious reasons, and semi-regular zero-day vulnerabilities being discovered and patched throughout the whole service stack. To name just a few of the most obvious hurdles.

No, I would not want to be responsible for running a VPN service in this day and age.

Email hosting is not much better, for most of the same reasons as above, except that spam filtering is also a whole full-time profession unto itself as well.

But yes, I agree with your point on Mozilla's lack of focus. And management competency, I would argue.

I am always surprised by the extent to which advertising seems to rely much more on tracking instead of context.

I have a bunch of different interests and hobbies, and a lot of the time I spend online is very easy to match to a fairly specific category - for instance, if I'm reading or watching videos about music production, advertise music software to me. If I'm reading about hikes or other outdoors type content, advertise outdoor gear to me. If I search travel destinations, advertise new suitcases to me.

Instead most of these behaviors of what I do go into a big pool of data about me, and then whenever they want in the future these music software companies or outdoor gear companies or suitcase companies can choose to advertise to me, even if they weren't willing to bid above the current price at the time I viewed this content. But there's probably a fall-off in effectiveness, if you wait and advertise to me weeks later I might be less likely to convert if that thing isn't top of mind for me right then.

So just anecdotally, it's not clear to me that niche businesses won't be able to exist with content-based advertising instead of tracking. A lot has changed in the past 10+ years on the internet, so it's not exactly easy to prove causality that tracking is what allows these businesses to exist today. Obviously FB knows better than anyone what works and they're upset with this change, so I'm sure advertising will take a hit, but I'm interested to see how it plays out and cautiously optimistic that it won't just kill niche businesses.

Edit: another example I just thought of is the Litter Robot, a high tech cat litter box. This must be a very high margin product because they are one of the most aggressive brands I've seen tracking me online, I've happened across their site a couple of times and then I see no other ads on Youtube or other sites for many days afterwards. I honestly do plan to buy one for my cats at some point, I just haven't pulled the trigger yet. So the ads probably will convert eventually. But I don't spend that much time viewing content about cats online (watching a random cute cat video online is probably not that highly correlated with being a cat owner). This might be the perfect example of a seemingly very useful, niche business that wouldn't be able to survive without ad targeting
