> It's waaay more expensive to interpret and render, so it affects battery life.

Interesting – I never noticed a difference in battery life when I was reading MOBIs and PDFs on my Kindle, but the slow refresh rate made scrolling through PDFs a nightmare. I do notice that reading PDFs on my iPad is very light on battery compared to reading web pages, but that’s because those web pages are running a bunch of JavaScript and using my internet connection, whereas with a PDF I download it once and then read it for hours.
Interesting, cool to see someone building a similar service to Keybase's account proofs. Hopefully they'll also build something like Keybase's proof integration https://book.keybase.io/guides/proof-integration-guide as well.

If you have any suggestions as to which E2E (group) messaging+fileshare+git platform I could use as a replacement for Keybase I'm all ears.

I wish this was true but I have friends who want the perceived benefits. They firmly believe handing over that data benefits them. More relevant ads, more useful services and features, more free stuff, etc. I bring up yet another place I don't want to be tracked and they just retort they want to share as much info as possible.

It should be possible to compile C code in a Rust project without an external C compiler, or it should be possible to import a C header into a Rust source file directly (so basically, creating separate "Rust bindings" for a C library shouldn't be required).

See Zig as an example for excellent C interoperability.

As soon as a C/C++ compiler toolchain and build tools need to be involved in a Rust project you're basically loosing all advantages of Cargo and are back to the relative brittleness of cross-platform C/C++ builds.

Smells are usually VOCs (volatile organic compound). Those need to be trapped in an active carbon filter. An alternative is to destroy them with ozone (also called "activated air", "ionized air"), but to do so one needs ozone concentrations that are unhealthy for living beings. Ozone is very unhealthy! Ozone is generated electrically or via UVC lamps. An especially common and harmful VOC, formaldehyde, can be destroyed by the extremely overpriced dyson air filters via their cryptomic technology.

> isn't this exactly the point of having a Mozilla Corporation

This is the critical part. If I am using Thunderbird (or the hypothetical mail service discussed above) in my company today and have an issue or request (bug, configuration error, need assistance with a deployment, want additional features in the product, want additional integration with other products) can I contact someone directly and know that this will be treated according to my specific expectations?

In other words can I call someone at Mozilla Corporation now and ask for dedicated tech support, for a bug fix in a specified time frame, for a consultant to listen to my needs and come up with a solution? Because if my business relies on that product or service and I get no guarantees then I won't be happy to pay you just so I can queue up on Github and raise issues, and I'll go with %prominent software vendor% who gives me that.

RedHat doesn't sell you "Linux", they sell everything that comes with it, and create an entire ecosystem to go with that (partners that offer certification, training, consultancy and support, dev support, etc.).

(side question - how do you do context ads for FB news feed? Because I can see it working well for youtube, if you know the topic of the video. Or google search, where you know the search. But I don't see how you can't NOT use personal ads in a newsfeed, whether on FB or twitter. There is no real context in a stream of random information)

All of the things mentioned are already being done without VR headsets. People can go through their entire lives not realizing they've been stereoblind. The world seems as real to them as to anybody else. It's not obvious to me VR is such a huge game changer.

Suppose we had 2 computer games.

One that perfectly reproduced real world "graphics" and "gameplay", looks like a real life high resolution video. Everything is life-like but you use fairly standard controls and a regular display.

Second that comes with perfect VR integration including physical resistance somehow, unlimited running space, ability to taste foods and whatnot. But the mechanics and graphics would still be off (current-gen).

It's pretty clear to me #1 would be way more immersive and the bottleneck is game/simulation tech, not VR tech.

Beyond The Far Side: Thoughts on secure and private machines behind IPFire
What a great experience you had!
Zig doesn't just implement the C preprocessor, instead the Zig compiler is also a C compiler, there are no separate compiler toolchains or build systems required for mixed Zig+C projects and you can directly import C headers into Zig source files.
Indeed, no hooks mentioned on that page, though. Also, on first glance, that looks like trivial integrations.

Ah, I also forgot to mention, what I'd like to see is more documentation on how to hide an imperative API behind a more declarative React/Angular etc. API. That's not always trivial but often what you want.

I think it's especially important because while you often can find ready-made wrapper for popular pure JS libraries they are usually abandoned (and thus don't keep up with the latest versions) or have some flaw that bites you sooner or later. My current recommendation is to write your own wrapper unless the wrapper is an official one of the authors of the underlying JS library. Naturally, that's not always feasible for complex libraries, but matter of fact you don't always need the full functionality of that library so you only have to wrap what you need.

Masks do that. N95 masks prevent vs reduce. It's just disingenuous to say that masks prevent illness. Your average mask will provide some protection, but not prevent illness.
As someone prone to the same failings I don't think they made alien UI choices, I think they made programmer UI choices where the programmers were struggling to make a reasonable UI choice, like the programmer's initial idea is to just make a text box and write a value but then they realize that is bad so they need to make some sort of interface to do it and they don't really have any taste about how any of the stuff should be laid out but they have looked at other graphical editors of course so they have sort of an idea of what is wanted.

It does not feel designed, it feels laid out by a programmer mimicking some other graphical editor from memory on an ad hoc basis.
It would be neat to see results of a good furnace filter on the fan. Saves the cost of the bungee because the air flow holds it on pretty much, and the filters are cheaper. It is what I use in my grow house to filter the air.
I would go even further and say that the most important aspect of teaching programming in schools is simply exposure. Most people don’t stumble upon programming in their day to day lives, especially now in the age of iPads and other locked down devices, so it’s important that the subset of population that would be good programmers are given the opportunity to at least try it out early in life.
For millions if not billions of people on Earth, some time series has become the most important thing to look at.

Okay, roughly in the same boat here. Every time I'm deep in a project, I start looking wistfully at other 2D game engines and seemingly waste a few days looking through the docs and tutorials for Flutter/Xamarin/Monogame/Unity/Godot/Ggez/Heaps.io/OpenFL etc etc. I'm currently pausing a Solar2D project and guiltily going through the tutorials for Defold.

So, what have you tried and didn't like, and why? Sell me on Ebiten?
> They did not "artificially limit" the extensions available, you are misinformed.

They certainly did – https://github.com/mozilla/video-bg-play for example is a very simply content script which doesn't use any special extension APIs at all and so would have worked right from the start, yet it still took several months until it was eventually added to the list of officially "blessed" add-ons.

This isn't actually a lie. As much as you might hate FB using all your data for ads, that does actually mean that small businesses can hyper target their customers.

They do actually help small businesses. As much evil as they do, you can't take this way from them.

The First Plastic Computer Processor (2011)
I've seen references to this sensor before and find it a bit concerning that there's no information about how to properly use the CO2 sensor.

This sensor uses a SenseAir S8, which like most CO2 sensors, has an automatic baseline calibration algorithm enabled [0], which expects to see pure, undiluted fresh air at least once every 8 days. The only way to disable it is explicitly, through the MODBUS interface [1].

Leaving it enabled makes perfect sense in a business or businesslike environment because these environments will be completely unoccupied overnight and have air conditioning, which usually does a daily fresh-air purge, ensuring that the sensor will have regular exposure to fresh air.

However in a residential environment, the auto baseline calibration often doesn't make sense, especially in winter. When the windows are closed and/or people or pets are around, it's very rare for the sensor to see uncontaminated fresh air, so it will see say 500ppm of CO2 and assume it's fresh air when it really isn't. I have measured this and it's a real problem.

In a residential environment, unless you're sure you have good, frequent exposure to pure fresh air, you're better off doing a fixed calibration once a year or so.

AirGradient also seems to be a hardware-only design. The ESPHome project [2] has great software support for a variety of sensors (including the SenseAir S8, so it should be compatible with the AirGradient hardware) as well as a very well-documented hardware project [3]. After trying my own Arduino-based software and then ESP-IDF, I find esphome much more pleasant to work with.

Even C++ doesn't have proper interoperability with C++ ;)

IMHO going through C APIs is fine, because C++ interoperability is much harder and a moving target, just because the language surface is so much bigger than plain C.

The answer is if you cannot understand why something like this happened, then most likely it means money changed hands.

Ah, Google Finance. Something close to my heart.

In 2011, I was heading development at Citadel's Investment Bank (Citadel being a large hedge fund), after finishing a stint as Citigroup Investment Bank's Chief Architect. I used Google Finance to track my personal portfolio, and I had always wondered about using the scale of Google to make Google Finance a competitor to Bloomberg and Reuters.

Someone reached out to me and asked me to interview for the position of "CTO of Google Finance", and I jumped at the chance. First interview was with Phillip Brittain, who was the new Head of Product of GF, having come from Bloomberg. The interview went great ... a complete meeting of the minds as far as where we wanted to take GF. Then I was invited in for the normal in-person Google interview process. I did well enough on my second round to be asked back to do the whole-day set of interviews. The interviews were really fascinated ... a lot of system design questions. But when I described some of the solutions in terms in terms of some of the platforms that financial companies use (ie: Tibco EMS for messaging), I was told by the interviewers to not bring them into my domain.

Funny enough, ove rthe two days of interviews, not a single person asked me a question about Google Finance or what my vision was for GF.

After several weeks, I heard that I did not have enough support of the Hiring Commitee to be hired. I was a bit puzzled, because I though that I knocked the interviews out of the park, but I went back to my job at Citadel and stayed there until they dissolved the investment bank a few months later.

Google never hired anyone for that position. Several years later, a Googler that I knew confided to me that I did not get the job mostly for the reason that Google had quietly decided to sunset GF ... or, at least, reduce its capabilities. No desire for a Bloomberg killer. What a shame. I still think of what I could have done with GF given the scale of Google.
I'm with Apple here, but talking about Facebook, did you mean:

> A company that basically profits from people being people ?
I don't intuitively understand how this change blocks targeted advertising outright. Sure, Facebook will have less information about me from other apps that I use, but certainly it has numerous other ways of targeting ads to me.

Facebook knows my demographic because I provided it to them when I signed up and the types of content I interact with in their apps, and they have both coarse and granular location (IP address and the location permission) from their first party apps. Most relevant forms of targeting seem to still work. Ads from the local florist can still be targeted.

It's credible to me that other, Facebook specific, magic such as "lookalike audience" and other behavior cohorting tools may be impacted by this change, but I don't view this narrow issue of IDFA consent to be an absolute judgment on ad targeting.

Yeah, WKD is a first-class citizen in GnuPG. Creating signatures with "--sender $EMAIL" embeds e-mail in the signature and then gpg --auto-key-retrieve --verify will fetch the key via WKD without the need to touch keyservers.
COM is a solution to tunnel C++ interfaces through C APIs though, and it ceates a lof of complexity to support OOP APIs which should have been plain procedural APIs to begin with (compare the mess that is WinRT with the traditional Win32 windowing functions).
Haha, this has to be the funniest thing I've read on the INTERNET today.

Do you consider Google to be "consumer grade"? That's up for debate I suppose after recent outages :)

On the serious side though. Research projects rarely make it to commercial success because they're risky, not because they're secret. And that's why the state funds most of it. Generally speaking the private-sector prefers the exploitation phase rather than the research phase, for obvious reasons, it's much more profitable!

Maybe; but I do have the full suite. Have used it plenty during the pandemic to fill in forms digitally (some that were designed to be filled in digitally, others that were not), both on an iPad and on computers. Sure, I'm not a hardcore professional user but those wouldn't be using Preview anyway; I'd bet my family usage is consistently above average.

(also used it before the pandemic - I used to work for Adobe, for 10 years, though not in the Document Cloud group).

[edit] I should clarify that "I never personally experienced Acrobat bugs that would corrupt my document", not that they don't exist; am not claiming that Acrobat is flawless, and maybe if I went to dig into the bug tracker I could've found document corruption bugs too, who knows.

The format is certainly messy [+], I don't deny that. However, I think in this instance you're letting Apple off the hook too easily - this one is decidedly their screwup, not Adobe's.
