I really wish someone at Mozilla would take the time to document the settings related to scrolling or make a GUI to simulate the behavior you're setting up. Getting it to work "close enough" to how well it works on chrome took a bit of time and was basically looking through forums where people mentioned what had worked for them.

It's not the most central thing a browser has to do, but every user does it so often and it's a constant annoyance when it doesn't work the way you like/expect it to.
> I've been using women's bathrooms for many years without incident, but most GCs would want to make that illegal

Doesn't CA have a mandate for single-occupancy, non-gendered bathrooms, which are anyway more inclusive of genderfluid folks and those who do not identify with the gender binary?

> Many GCs think I shouldn't have access to healthcare for my breasts.

Well, that's quite bad. Those GC folks should be made aware that male breast cancer is a thing too.

Is this true, though? I don't think there was ever "I saw Joe Bystander selling a loaf of bread to Goody Proctor!" in historical witch hunts, whether the Salem one or the McCarthy.

I mean, sure, it might be a sign of poor judgment, but why is it a "characteristic sign of a witch hunt"?

> I seem to remember you would get a dial tone when someone hung up on you too.. not immediately, that might take 8 seconds?

It's very dependant on where in the world you were. The dial-tone on hang-up thing that you get all the time in (older) movies and TV shows for example is because that's what happened in California (at least parts of, I forget the details) where movies were made. This didn't generally happen in other places.

Where I'm from IIRC you got a rapid beep. And the whole thing about the caller having to hang up was never a thing there either. Different places, different equipment.
Flying it via camera is very limiting, you have to be close enough.

However it's quite possible and indeed not that hard to build a long range, autonomous RC plane. You just need to use the sensors typically found in any smartphone: GPS, camera (for ground imaging), accelerometer, magnetometer and so on, add inexpensive barometers and ultrasound or optical sensors for altitude, and mix all that up with the proper algorithms to end up with really accurate positioning. In fact you can even have accurate positioning when losing GPS.

If you're not concerned about speed, a simple and cheap powered model sailplane made of styrofoam could easily be made to fly for hours on battery. Cost: a few hundred dollars worth of parts.
I'd probably just use wget directly, then. But it's another manual step, it would be cool to hand a prepared TP instance to someone and say "in this folder is your web site, upload it wherever you want".

I have no idea how hard it would be to write such a plugin. Never looked into the dev side of TP, only used it back then.

It's a niche idea, sure. Most people would want to use a "proper" SSG anyway.

Edit:
Actually, we two already talked about that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23050113

Microsoft Teams announcement recap from Microsoft Ignite
It'd be interesting to see versions specified by their file extension. Perl 6 already set that precedent with the .pl6/.pm6 extensions, and I don't see any substantial downsides aside from maybe some file association inconvenience (but that's pretty trivial to fix). Plain .pl/.pm files can then always be assumed to be Perl 5 code, and to be treated as such.

Anyone else take 5000 IU (125 μg) to 10000 IU (250 μg) of Vitamin D3 average per day?

With 5000 IU, my most recent Vit D 25 OH labs came back at 38 ng/mL ("normal": 30-100). I'm thinking about upping to between 50000/week (7142/day) and 10000/day. Does that sound reasonable? Edit2: I weigh 240 lbs, so that would seem to be 60% more mass than the average person. The new recommendation is roughly 8200 IU/day, so for me that might be around 11000 IU/day.

"Don't hate the player, hate the game."

It's almost a tautology that only long term residents are around long enough to feel the negative effects of gentrification directly. I've been in my home for 15 years and only in the last 5 or so have I come to really understand what this trend has done to the community.

My initial response to the current wave of millionaire neighbors is to resent the gentrifiers with all that wealth who don't see what they're doing. But a quick look in the mirror confirms the awful truth... I was just like them when I moved here 15 years ago.

Sure I wasn't as rich as the current crop, but the exact degree of wealth surely would not have been terribly meaningful to the lifelong renter residents who were slowly being displaced by middle class people looking for a bargain on a home at that time.

The system we have created around real estate and home ownership is optimized to erode culture and atomize community. We like to pretend that this is somehow inevitable, the will of the market, but we need to own it - this is the world we have built for ourselves.

So yeah, I do understand the anger at individuals - because there's nothing else to be angry at. It feels like being angry at the system itself is futile.

Doug Ford Beating Drums for a Third Wave
From the title, I was expecting the article on something along the lines of how, where and why developers can move from Node.js. However the arguments are not so solid and there is no migration path. We all know Elixir is great but the adoption and maturity is low as compared to JS.

Yes, Node is not perfect but (with TypeScript added) tell me a development platform that can run under 100 MB of memory, handle most requests under 50 ms, can spin up a http service in a day or so and still perform well under load (and scales horizontally with ease).

On top, any organization can hire JS devs with relative ease. And the same devs can also use the same skills to build a frontend.

I am not a JS/TS/Node fan but unfortunately it seems we do not have a better story to sell right now and we are stuck here for a while.

That analogy doesn't work. Most criticisms to the Loebner Prize boil down to the human judgement (and agents that exploit this aspect without actual intelligence) and the Hutter Prize doesn't have any. The AI connection in the Huffer Prize is, while still up to debate, at best suggestive and not a goal itself.
It's actually slightly larger now, but not by much. The standard Campbell's condensed soup can is currently 10 3/4 oz. A magazine ad[1] in 1977 showed the size as 10 1/2 oz. And that's been the size as far back as 1922[2]. That's not to say the other products in the Campbell's brand haven't changed. The "family size" and "Chunky" variations have been reported to change size at times. But the basic can has been a remarkably stable product.

Facebook: The billion dollar bot problem
import gc
gc.disable()

in python. The python script would previously take 4 hours to run. There were lots of small functions and these were called on a loop. I ensured that there were no circular references within any of the functions and then disabled gc (Which is what the gc would look for, variables without circular references would be garbage collected automatically when they go out of scope.)

The script ran in 20 mins.

The hue and cry people raised over the gc.disable though convinced me never to do any unconventional optimizations again.
> In the last quarter of 2020 the US social media giant disabled 1.3bn fake accounts — a tally equal to almost half its real monthly active users. User accounts are the basis for advertising sales ... If a percentage of accounts are fake, advertisers should be demanding a discount.

> In filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Facebook acknowledges that up to 5 per cent of the 2.8bn accounts it counts may be false, including bots, and another 11 per cent may be duplicates ... This means more than 448m inauthentic accounts.

> There are two potential repercussions from inauthentic accounts. Advertisers could use these to argue for lower rates, slowing revenue growth. Facebook could also decide to ramp up spending on fake-busting measures.
If your city was 99% empty by volume and your house rotated every day it wouldn't be THAT difficult :)
There will be a ton of pictures to document, and later investigate, that incident.
What I mean is: when you have n>1 windows, and close one of them, it's a non-event (unless it was last window / last incognito window). You can even revive the closed tab/window (in Firefox even an incognito tab). By default in Firefox you can revive 25 last closed tabs IIRC (configurable).

Window is just a different UI for a tab. Closing a tab drops some resources from memory, but not all / not immediately.

When you close last window, then you close the whole browser, and the story is different. Closing whole browser = dropping all memory, connections etc.

Note in particular: when you have n>1 incognito windows, they share in-memory cache, cookies etc. (Incognito tabs put more restrictions on certain things than normal tabs, for example no disk writes, but unless you close all incognito windows, stuff still lives there in memory).
They're not off the shelf drones, but it's long been possible to have long range homemade RC planes, even autonomous ones. I remember seeing such videos 10 years ago on Youtube for example, though hobbyists who might be doing that today are not being so public about it since authorities have been cracking down hard on it.

Startups won’t save the economy. But ‘scale ups’ could
I wouldn’t consider them empty headed, just focused on the cargo rather than funding good science. There is too much of a focus on ‘strategic plans’ and theme alignment because the circular reasoning tells them that pumping more money into an economically relevant area will make more jobs in that area. It just leads to recycling of ideas and instead of producing new science we become tax payer funded finishing schools for industry.

My understanding is that there is frustration in the European Commission that H2020 has not produced more economic impact. Of course every proposal is going to promise transformative ideas because that’s what was listed as a requirement but when you fund low risk research spread across geographically and culturally diverse consortia you get the lowest common denominator output.

My humble opinion is that you should fund more small scale projects and fewer big consortia. Let the risky ideas have a chance to publish and stop investing in rock stars.

IBM, US Fabs, $20B Foundry Investment, IFS ( Intel Foundry Services ) , Open / Industry EDA Tooling. This is all about US Fabs. And this is what Intel should have done in 2015. But the timing right now is simply perfect. I still get very emotional seeing Pat Gelsinger with Intel [1], but this whole strategy is about as good as it gets.

I mean one could write a thousand word essay lining these up from a geo-political point of view.

I am wondering if Apple would test IFS with their Modem. It make sense to have 2nd Foundry source, and Apple doesn't want to fund Samsung Foundry, NAND and DRAM. The best thing about all of these is the new IFS services, along with two additional Fabs meant lots more leading edge wafer capacity.

Then there is x86. All the essential x86 patents has expired. x86-64 was launched in 2003? I kind of wish they made a licensable "cleaned up" x86 and call it AE86 :)

No, the poster is correctly identifying cancel and woke culture as dogmatic.

From their point of view there are two options: You are either enlightened and agree with their cause or you have yet to see the light. There is no difference between this and dogmatic interpretation of religion. The cancel part is a social inquisition carried out by public shaming and a goal of ostracization
That quote isn’t specific to capitalism and would apply to any economic system where people have salaries.

I think the mention "hyperscale" is unnecessarily confusing here. At least in my perception, nearly nobody uses that term when they just talk about "using cloud services from AWS & Co", presumably you don't insist on limiting your product to just those (i.e. Terraform will happily talk to smaller Cloud providers like Hetzner too, presumably you don't intend to exclude them by design, but just understandably focused on the large names first?). People more usually (again, from what I see, you might have different experience with your target groups) explicitly say hyperscale when what they are doing is at that scale, and that's a level of complexity that's never going to be 5 minutes.

You're confusing FAANG with investment banking. FAANGs for the most part are pretty cozy places with few people working excessive hours. Some even too cozy - Google is full of coasters and rest'n'vesters, practically a retirement home. Speaking from experience of working there.

Something that people perhaps don't appreciate is that typical large ships like this don't even have a gearbox (which would be perhaps 95% efficient).

They use large two stroke diesel engines which can be stopped and started in reverse. They use an extra valve in the engine head to admit air for starting and have valve gear which controls the direction.

Cruise ships on the other hand have electrical house loads which are almost the same as their propulsion loads. In addition to the manoeuvrability advantages this makes diesel electric drive advantageous.

I get your point. There is a difference between what free software is in theory, and what we grew to expect from free software. I mean common expectations software are build instructions, packaged versions (binaries, installers), publicly viewable code - but the free software requirements say nothing about these, people just provide it because they want to make users' lives easier. And so, they became the norm over the years. But they are not strictly part of what makes a software "free software".
But that's the whole point of the SV business model! Strangle any competition by initially offering your products for free (and funded by huge amounts of VC), and then raise prices at your leisure once you're the last one standing.

What I don't get is why Google is allowed to provide a browser and be a major content provider at the same time.

One of the other devs has put together etc_cache which rolled in some static-site-esque goodness. http://www.iut-fbleau.fr/projet/etc/index.php?id=52

It's not a true SSG but intelligent cache based on the database knowing what's changed and what hasn't. Might be worth a look for your next project. Coupled with the fact you no longer need to do the staging server dance, iterating or redesigning is a lot more streamlined than it once was.

I'd be happy if the developers were given an "average" device for testing, and not the newest-shiniest-flagship one.

I get it why for development it's beneficial for a test device to be as fast as possible (because there less time is wasted for (eg.) an app to start after a change in code), but a lot of modern applications don't do more than they did 10 years ago, but eat up a lot more resources for the same output.
