A long time ago I was in the US and I used the word "labyrinth" because I didn't know "maze" and, well, in french for a maze we say "labyrinthe"... I still remember the reaction of my american friend, very surprised by my "advanced" english vocabulary.

yeah but as a novice dev I have never come across a job listing that needed a graph db expertise of any kind, there are tons that need nosql though, along with traditional rdbms of course, why is that?
I am not surprised. I don’t think any human on earth could give these “volunteer” “staffers” a command which they would obey.
I think what Tim Sweeney has noticed is what Steve Jobs realised (by his own admission) far too late.

The money is in the hardware but the value is in the software.

People will buy hardware thinking of that as their investment, without realising that the software is what extracts almost all of the revenue from them as a customer regardless.

>Having a third party monitor

If you install an extension that shares your browsing habits then that is on you of course but good ad-blocking extensions doesn't do that and if the data doesn't leave the extension it isn't really monitoring you. I would personally trust the author of uBlock Origin and the in-built uBO made lists over Safari and Chrome any day. Both Apple and Google are running advertisement services so I don't see any reason to ever put any trust in them doing what is best for the user in blocking ads. I wouldn't really trust Mozilla that much either come to think of it.

>hundreds of thousands of rules on every page request becomes a significant source of slower page load speed

This is a myth really. Almost all websites the average user visit have some form of advertisement and/or tracking. Such sites load much faster with any good and modern ad-blocker installed. Besides, it is not like any developer worth his salt would run through hundreds of thousands of URLs looking for a match. The only time it does add any overhead is on a site with nothing to block at all and the amount is tiny compared to the time wasted on all the other sites.

Garmin Forerunner 245[0]

Got it as a birthday gift about a year ago and I have since finally moved on from struggling to get past 5Ks to running multiple 10Ks and now training for a half marathon. It has also helped me be more health conscious generally and I've lost 25lbs to get from high overweight to the top of end of normal (BMI-wise).

The Garmin ecosystem for workout planning/recording/stats/etc. is surprisingly nice and even though this watch is marketed to runners the weight training features are solid and useful as well.

I think this is the second or third time that I've seen this browser hit the front page. Each time I get a little more interested.

The concern that I have is that there's going to be a learning curve to picking this up. Normally, that's fine, but this is my browser. I live in the thing and there's no other piece of software outside of my IDEs that affects my productivity more. When I took the time to learn VIM a few years ago, retrospectively, I could have about spent half as much time learning it as I did and skipped a handful of things I don't use. The tone isn't meant to be negative -- that 50% is tremendously useful and it's rare that I don't over-learn something (I enjoy it).

I'm hoping someone who uses Nyxt as their "primary browser"[0] might be able to provide their thoughts on any of my questions --

I use VIM/VIM plug-ins, but Firefox; what's the experience of becoming proficient with Nyxt?

Is there any tool/first-timer/quick-start that works better/worse for acquiring the muscle-memory?

Outside of "keyboard" ... As a full stack web developer (various front-ends, mostly .NET web FWIW), what are the "big reasons" that I want this (killer app?)? Put other ways: Are there any interesting "one-liners"[0] that solved real problems developing web-sites? Is there any feature that is so amazing that you agonize over it not being available when you're not on your own hardware?

Basically, I'm trying to answer (for myself) whether or not it's worth the effort to explore integrating this into my work tooling, so I'd love any other input.

[0] I've not used the product; I'm referring to its programmability -- I can see its use (and do this, today, kludg-ily) -- but I'm wondering if there are any use cases that were surprisingly "magical".
The high-end workstation and on-premise server markets overlap with the hyperscale cloud market. That's been true all along on X64 with high-end Xeon and Epyc parts.

"Hyperscale cloud" is just buzzword for "huge data center somewhere else" so there's not much of a difference except packaging and power (machines for hyperscale data centers often take direct DC power, not AC into one PSU per machine.)
Japan seems to have abandoned that strategy in favour of attracting migrant workers from SE Asia. At least that's the impression I got when I last visited the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau. Makes sense given how reliant the country still is on manual labour. They even hire people to walk you past roadworks when a physical sign alone would do just fine.
Anything you're gonna interact with more than half your waking hours is worth spending lots of money on, to me. Over 4 years of daily use a monitor like that is something like 20 cents an hour. Seems worth it to me.
Many people want something to change but don't trust the government. They have a point. The govt collects more taxes and then just spends more and is right back to needing more $. Often the money doesn't go to where it's needed because lots of palms need to be greased.
Lack of hyphen use drives me nuts. "Cooperation" is a prime example. Without the hyphen, my internal monologue pronounces the word like "chicken coop"[1]. Whereas, "Co-Operation" makes pronunciation much clearer.

> I got beat up a lot too

As someone born in the 90s I'm always shocked to hear about how culturally accepted it was for children to be physically abused at school in my parents' generation. People talk about getting beaten up at school like it was nothing, like they deserved it for talking funny or liking comic books.

It's so normal that the children's shows I grew up with on Nickelodeon / Cartoon Network / etc all had the main characters getting beaten up at school as a regular plot point.

I just can't believe it. I'm so glad it is largely seen as unacceptable these days.
I like Fastmail, but as they are based in Australia, how do they address the A&A law[0] that requires companies to decrypt data when compelled by the government?

> RSA executives told me that the part of their network responsible for manufacturing the SecurID hardware tokens was protected by an “air gap”—a total disconnection of computers from any machine that touches the internet. But in fact, Leetham says, one server on RSA’s internet-connected network was linked, through a firewall that allowed no other connections, to the seed warehouse on the manufacturing side.

That's not really an air gap, isn't it?
This is always inevitably thrown out there as a straw man whenever capitalism is discussed online. A variation on Godwin's Law for post-modernists. The typical response is that "They're not, they're free to work as much or as little as they'd like," which is invariably followed by rabbit holes about health care, welfare, various entitlements, and migration.

Please, be more original.
Yeah, @threadreaderapp
I don't think that many people argue that page loading times weren't an issue, particularly when mobile networks were much slower. It's just that they think AMP was the wrong solution to that problem. There are other ways Google could have promoted and encouraged lightweight mobile friendly webpages without creating their own new standard.

Material goods:

Ear plugs (silicone). Don't waste your money on noise-cancelling headphones, I have $200 ones and they don't compare to simple ear plugs. If you live in a moderately noisy area and you want peace and quiet, get them. They basically just make everything quiet. 24 from CVS = $10.

OpenMove by Aftershokz - Bone-conduction headphones. Perfect for running and just good for listening to music. They work, they're way easier to wear and more comfortable than earpods, I haven't had any issues since I got them about 8-months ago. Plus, you can wear them with earplugs for music + noise cancellation. $99

Cast iron skillet. This is more of a personal preference. I hate getting new kitchenware and then worrying about breaking it or getting it all stained. But these are super easy to clean and AFAIK practically never wear out. Also very cheap (iirc $15).

Software:

JetBrains tools. Basically the only software I can imagine spending $250 a year on, and it actually being worth it.

Patreon and Github sponsors. Not much (I think $15 a month total). It's sad how few sponsors a lot of these projects have. I'm not rich, but I can afford donating $5/month here and there. I really think the world would be a better place if more people donate to open source and content creators they like.
I agree it's a valid question and it seems my suspicion is not the main reason. Based on the other replies to the parent it seems that choosing Gecko requires more work.

> awarding the multi-year contract to the elected government is strictly better than to a private company

This is objectively not true otherwise no-one would every privatise the railway. Although the answer is not agreed, my own experience of working on the public-owned railway in the UK in the 1990s was that public-sector organisations have virtually no incentive to be clever or efficient, at best they are indifferent, at worst they are job-creation systems that cost billions to the tax payer.

The theory is that private companies have a reason to make things more efficient, which is to maximize profit, reducing costs and being overall cheaper to the tax payer.

Of course, this brings it own dangers in terms of service reduction due to unprofitable services but it would be simplistic to think that somehow the tax payer should subsidise those who actually use the trains. Ultimately, they should cost what they cost to run and if that is too much, then they need to change.

I would also say that the services and overall quality are much higher on the privatised railway.

hahaha, I have a PhD in physics too, also focusing on optics in a quantum computing adjacent research area and I abandoned science to spend a week reading a cisco book and get a CCNA.

The pay is much much better.
Work life balance is waaay better.
Career prospects are better....

My biggest regrets in life are...getting a PhD, and going to university at all, in that order.

The opportunity cost for not just reading a few basic books and getting entry level tech certs and instead getting an education are on par with owning a house outright where I live, and not having a decade of unbelievable stress and pressure to succeed in academia.

>He's saying that a significant part of Americans wants to make that more difficult for you, not easier.

I'd say that a significant part of Americans are simply indifferent. That can be easily confused for ill will.
When I was learning/using French, kinda the inverse of what you said, I'd try to think of a sophisticated English word to use. It could even bleed back into English speaking, for example I would "recount" (raconter) something rather than "tell" it.

I really like the 2s. Besides just being an all-around excellent mouse, the scroll-wheel that just spins forever is probably my favorite feature - sometimes to scroll a long page - sometimes just as sort of a fidget spinner.

I want the 3 for the USB-C but otherwise my 2s is still in excellent condition and I have a hard time justifying replacing it just for the USB port.
I want to highlight the very common, very dishonest debate trick you just performed.

You skipped right past calling the thing for what it is (censorship), past admitting it's a problem, and you're now arguing against a hypothetical extreme solution no-one has yet proposed.

Can we assume that you now agree it's censorship, and that it's a problem, and it's only the solution you proposed that bothers you?

I have thought about this more and it really angers me. You need to learn what the term thought police means. I in no way called for its removal, asked it to moderated by others, I think so many people blame things they don’t agree with using terms they don’t truly understand and I am done with it.

Pointing out you disagree with someone’s tactic, or you personally disengage because of how it’s written is in no way thought police. Thought police is when I tell you what your allowed to think and try to force you into my ideas. I have zero interest in policing your thoughts I do have interest in seeing content that welcomes conversation which should be the point of HN but again I reminded if you don’t think like is your thoughts are not welcome here.

> With speed as its strongest imperative, the effort run by the federal Small Business Administration initially lacked even the most basic safeguards to prevent opportunists from submitting fabricated documentation, government watchdogs have said.

> While that may have allowed millions of businesses to keep their doors open, it has also required a massive cleanup operation on the backend.

Frankly, I think that's exactly the right way to do it.

Speed was of the essence here - a lot of small businesses don't have much of a safety margin to go without revenue for even a few weeks. Consequences for abusing it don't have to be fast to work.
It can't learn my interests if I don't see any new videos though. As I wrote, it's just the same over and over and over again. Usually one would mix in something completely different...which it doesn't do. That applies to the content and the music. And it's not like I'm not interested in things. On the contrary, my interests touch a large variety of topics but I never get a book recommendation, classical music played on different instruments, sports etc etc.

Actually, it starts you off with your native language only at first IIRC. I increased it to seven different ones which didn't matter at all and then decreased it to three. And again, no difference.

I don't use any social media and all the "celebrity" stuff is generally not for me at all. So I can't really compare the experience to anything.

Though, I guess I can attribute the success to what the others said, despite its demerits:

- really low barrier of entry (mrkramer)

- organic feeling, as opposed to corporate-controlled/generated (alexgmcm)

The addictive nature of seeing what comes next likely also plays a role.
GC feels like this magic box. Does great things for you without having to worry about memory leaks, which is great. But like anything that is magical you give up some control. I guess it's a tradeoff

Frankly, I'm glad the whole "consistent UI is king" era has ended. It largely grew as a reaction to the DOS era when everything was keyboard shortcuts and memorization was key. All the differing approaches made using different application suites maddening!

But then we moved into the GUI and everyone thought it was important not just to have the same shortcuts or even the same menu layouts, but literally the same design language in icon design. It trained people that switching platforms was much harder than it should be. In reality, noone is struggling with the web because of minor layout issues.

Consistency isn't king, good design is.
Fair criticism. I'll rescind my argument and present a new one, that does not rely on my subjective opinions.

My app only really makes sense if you have more than two separate audio devices. Many testers probably only have the built-in speakers and maybe some headphones, and thus never have problems with macOS choosing the wrong one.
Pay as you go vs fully funded makes little difference - consumption goods such as nursing care cannot be carried over from one period to another. Unless France is going to use the depleted pension fund as an excuse to cut benefits, being underfunded only makes a difference in terms of whether the next generation of workers transfers goods to retirees in the form of taxes or pension fund contributions.
Yes, you should read those rental contracts.

Aside from not being able to do anything illegal, including speeding, it has language around various overages and things that will result in additional charges, like taking vehicles off-road or damage to it from negligence.

I wish this had caught on. CTRL-X/C/V is okay-ish until you get to different platforms and/or need to use the terminal.

I also wish we'd have stuck to a clearer separation of which modifier keys apply to the OS/desktop level, which ones are app level, and which ones are text/input level.
Indeed; that's why I think this model has worked pretty well. You get a nice core protocol and then if you want fancy features that keep up to date with proprietary offerings that can be developed in a lighter weight way. Certainly not perfect, but I'm glad the IETF is in charge of the core spec and not the newer, less experienced, foundation (though at this point the XSF is well established too, but in the beginning it was the close relationship with the IETF that let it build that institutional knowledge).
Yup. On a new defunct blog someone laid out in the comments that here in The Netherlands, if €300 of your wage went to pensions, sometjing like €200 would go to fund current pensioners and of that €200, €60 went to a very select group that got two very beneficial pension arrangements stacked.
