> The change to Chromium was the last nail in the coffin for printing.

I don’t think that Firefox uses code from Chromium for printing, does it? I believe that the print interface merely resembles that of Chromium.
I likely would as well if I remembered it. I have always had a problem recalling key combinations across all the applications I use which is why I rely on context menus and tool bars heavily. I've called out VSCode on this a few times as well as it is a memorization fest to work efficiently in there without proper toolbars. It's not just this but I have memory issues in general which have only gotten worse as I've aged. Easy discoverability / access in UI design is a big focus for me.
It is a data point, not definitive.

The language could be shrinking in comparison to everything an still be growing. I don't think that's the case but it wouldn't change anything for me. I don't work with a proportion of client according to trends. I work with particular companies and I'm at capacity doing Elixir as are many I know.

The Problem is that is a long long way off. If you need to borrow 100m USD for a new coal power station, and the total world debt market is about $24tn, you're only borrowing something like 4x10^-5%. So even if 99.999% of lenders decline your project on ecological grounds, you still have 20 times more funding available than you need.

Presumably, you will also have a forgot password flow that allows you to change your password without entering the old one.

People will make things easy for themselves. Coming up with good passwords is hard. Having to rotate passwords just seems like a lot of busywork and people will make it as easy for themselves as possible.

I came across an article about vaccination against ingested prions a while back.

I couldn't find the exact one that I read a year ago... the one I read talked about a test where the vaccinated mice survived while the unvaccinated mice died quickly.

Prion diseases are scary psychologically because the early stages are almost the same as any other neurodegenerative disease. For those who are suffering from one, who would likely develop some sort of depression early on, really gives them doubts about their lifespan. This is from personal experience.

Here's a bunch of articles about it:

Climate change threatens to devastate hundreds of millions of lives. It will disrupt the global economy for decades. So, yes, fossil fuels are a risky investment.
Repeating what I said in the original comment: the web should HAVE a VM; it shouldn't BE a VM.

The web is hyperlinked DATA that optionally leads you to CODE. The VM-centric design is mistaken and broken, and it's a moot point because it won't ever be deployed in at a large scale in practice.

Like Kay's other designs, it's OK for a small scale and clean slate, but not for a large scale.

Importantly, the web can have and has had MULTIPLE VMs -- Java (via NSAPI), Flash, JavaScript, WebAssembly, and I would say PDF since all browsers now have readers built-in. The design of languages for code is more difficult and ephemeral than the design of languages for data.

The web scales with TIME (decades), not just users (billions of people). Kay's designs don't scale in either direction.

I disagree that this is even a factor to consider, and that we should be rigorous when assigning probabilities to events.

Seriously, what meaningful and controversial change has the rank-and-file (or even the managerial staff) at Facebook managed to accomplish? I'm not really asking for your opinion here as much as I am asking if you have any reports or information on the matter that contradicts the things I've heard or seen or read.

Why are you so certain? Their own employees feel that public pressure is the only way out, evidenced by their employees publicly speaking out or leaking things to the press to effect change. How, in your eyes, does this come anywhere close to a degree of certainty that change from within is possible?

I mean, the 600w of waste heat blowing on my cold feet in the morning is pretty well leveraged. But I definitely agree with your point!

I think datacenters should be providing waste heat for industry, pools, residential hotwater etc. Similar idea for miners. If they can consume 1kw of electricity but then sell 500w of waste heat, that can be quite good for the environment and bottom line.
Yes, a semantic disagreement: I don’t think of spurious findings as nonsense. Nonsense has negative connotations that I feel contributes to the real problem which is the competitive nature of research and misconceptions about “error.” Too often I hear people elevate the researcher in a sort of “great man” theory of scientific progress. Too rarely do I hear praise for those doing boring replication studies and the like. I worry that younger people hear someone published “nonsense” and think of it as an indication of the quality of the researcher. All of this leads to more p hacking, more avoidance of replication, and more inefficiency in the scientific process. The economic incentives are such that universities compete for big name researchers, those who don’t publish nonsense. That is the problem IMO.
I'm not in the industry, just a hobbyist, but this is well established. There are dozens of companies making printers, filament, models, tutorials, software, and innovations that legally couldn't exist while this patent was active.

> Is there some reason no digital platform producing company ever washes its hands of all moderation

Perhaps all that is necessary is the empirical observation that every completely unmoderated forum turns into a metaphorical sewage containment vessel once it gets beyond a certain size.
Or mandate 2FA and password managers.
I believe this has been Microsoft's guidance as far back as 2016, with the caveat of using Azure AD risk analysis /MFA.[1]

>Password expiration policies do more harm than good, because these policies drive users to very
predictable passwords composed of sequential words and numbers which are closely related to each
other (that is, the next password can be predicted based on the previous password). Password change
offers no containment benefits cyber criminals almost always use credentials as soon as they
compromise them.

>Mandated password changes are a long-standing security practice, but current research strongly
indicates that password expiration has a negative effect. Experiments have shown that users do not
choose a new independent password; rather, they choose an update of the old one. There is evidence to
suggest that users who are required to change their passwords frequently select weaker passwords to
begin with and then change them in predictable ways that attackers can guess easily.

>One study at the University of North Carolina found that 17% of new passwords could be guessed given
the old one in at most 5 tries, and almost 50% in a few seconds of un-throttled guessing. Furthermore,
cyber criminals generally exploit stolen passwords immediately.

Sure, and FF for Linux was always second to FF for Windows, where the experience was better than both platforms.

Work for yourself, first on finding why it is you want to work.

If the motivation is there, and you're cause is meaningful, then all of the problems will become interesting.
Also a good question.

The issue here is the architectural difference between the hardware decoder and the GPU. What happens under the hood with MSE ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Media_Sourc...) is that you are responsible for handing off a buffer to the hardware decoder as a bitstream. Underneath, the GPU sets up a texture and sends the bitstream to the hardware decoder that's responsible for painting the decoded video into that texture.

What often ends up happening is that the GPU driver says "yes the hardware decoder can do this", it accepts the bitstream, sets up the texture for you which is bound against your canvas in HTML. Starts playing the video, moves the timeline playhead but the actual buffer is just an empty black texture. From the software's point of view, the pipeline is doing what it's supposed, due to the hardware decoder being a black box from the Javascript perspective it's impossible to know if it "actually" worked. Good decoders will throw errors or refuse to advance the PTS, bad decoders won't.

Knowing this, your second suggestion was to read back the canvas and detect video. That would work but the problem here is "what constitutes working video". We can detect if the video is just a black box but what if the video plays back but at 1 frame per second, or plays back with the wrong colors. It's impossible to know without knowing the exact source content, a luxury that a UGC platform like Twitch does not have.

For this reason just doing heuristics with WebGL is often the "best" path to detecting bad actors when it comes to decoders.
What made it click for me analyzing music, in particular rock songs like 'Gloria.' That song very strongly identifies E major as the tonic, but the D and A chords are not in E, they are diatonic to A major. To say it is in A major would mean the song's tonic would be A, but since it is E major it is more correct to say the song is in E Mixolydian.

& doesn't always imply a value is on the heap. Escape analysis will ensure that pointers to the stack are safe.

Here's an example with a bit of explanation: if you pass a value to fmt.Println it will escape. The raw println builtin does not cause values to escape. So calling the first function twice and seeing the same address for the value strongly implies stack allocation while calling the 2nd function twice and getting different addresses implies heap allocation.

BINGO!1! ...Eh, sorry. There's a few types of comments that pop up in every Elm HN discussion :)
Good question. It looks like the Raspberry Pi HQ camera module (the bit with the sensor) is rated at 12MP. My guess is that the angle of this lens means you can only make use of the middle portion of the sensor, in this case 10MP’s worth of it. And as there’s only one sensor module on the market that this lens can screw onto, they can tell you the effective megapixel rating of the lens. There’s also a ‘wide angle’ 6mm lens [1] available for the same camera module, rated at 3MP, which I assume casts the image on a even smaller portion of the sensor. I could be completely wrong though, not an expert.

National stories are also often regional and local stories. I just pulled up the NYT website. The top story is the Derek Chauvin trial which is certainly also a local story in Minneapolis. The second from the top Opinion piece is about the NYC mayoral race. Does that mean that NYT shouldn't be able to accept any advertising dollars from those markets?

Early in the job I am just about to leave (end of this week). Starting about 5 years ago.

It was an extremely fast-paced place and I really had no idea of the levels of workaholism I was signing up to be surrounded by. A company full of 26-year-old diehards and I was a decade older than everyone around me; ambitious (crazy) projects with super short deadlines to be done by 1-2 people; the list goes on.

I thought it was crazy, it made me feel crazy, it was crazy. One time I had to leave the office, walk to a liquor store, buy smokes and smoke one just to cope with the insanity of what I was doing in that moment (I'm not a smoker).

Eventually as the company matured, it grew the layers of bureaucracy that are now the defining feature of working there. It went from "holy shit how are we going to pull that off" to "holy shit I need 7 signoffs to change the wording on this button". Hard to say which is worse, actually. The money did make up for the craziness.
This is the coolest thing I've seen today. I've been working on a game rendered using xterm.js† and this would be perfect for an enemy.

The whole point of this article is that rotating passwords is pointless. It doesn’t solve the original problem. MFA is the solution to that problem, not password rotation policies with Byzantine change requirements.

A better focus is on plugging the hole where the password was stolen. If it’s not plugged the password will simply be stolen again.

That's bullshit. The current state of affairs came about due to Facebook and Google's actions and business practices over the past two decades. Both of these companies massive scale (obtained in large part due to anti-competitive practices and a total lack of regulation) and reach gives them complete control over what we consume and where.

It's a long history with a lot of different parts to it, but it's mostly the fault of these two companies. Consumers can't be blamed for seeking the most value in the market, it's just that the market is fucked because of these two powerful bad actors.

Who knows. I'll give you an interesting thought.

There is NO single, conclusive test for Alzheimer's disease. The symptoms are almost identical to CJD (human mad cow) with the biggest differentiator being time from diagnosis to death. Even Amyloid-beta plaque buildup is often (though not always) noted in CJD patients [0][2]. Likewise the other Alzheimer's marker tau protein is also elevated in CJD patients [3]. I'd note that we don't actually know that CJD must progress over 1-2 years rather than a decade -- it is an observational assumption.

Between 15-30% of Alzheimer's diagnosed patients also don't have the normal Alzheimer's brain symptom (presumably amyloid buildup) either. Alzheimer's as cause of death was 17.6% in 2000, but is now 37.3% in 2020.[1] Because CJD is defined as killing quickly, it isn't even checked for in such cases (a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy if the diagnosis criteria aren't actually accurate). It doesn't help that cleanup of a contaminated area is time consuming and costly (not to mention potential negative press and panic).

This isn't a new idea, but perhaps those fears were somewhat true, but have been buried under our lack of knowledge of protein diseases.
