> Try making this trick work when your destination is three levels deep into a different hierarchy. Oh yes, you should have thought about it beforehand and opened two windows and pre-arranged them in a way so you can drag from one to another, because it's so intuitive!

I regularly do this to be honest. I drag the file to my home or Dropbox folder and dive from there. I also regularly drag and drop files from finder to any other application, not just three folders, but three desktops away. It might not be OK or comfortable for you (which I understand), but writing with laser-cut assumptions and prejudice doesn't help.

> I just checked, it's always greyed out on my finder. Who knows why, it's probably intuitive.

If you're in list view, you can always click column headers, just like a particular Redmond OS allows to do. Also there's a sort by menu, which is operational in all views as I just checked. I think again a particular Redmond OS also calls this strange and magical ordering process the same.

macOS works differently, and it goes against some conventions on other OSes, I know. However, I don't get agitated by this, because how it's evolved and it's consistent in its own world. I actually like how it doesn't imitate anything else. It's same for Linux. Again backwards in some parts, but consistent in its universe of things.

The funny thing is, I booted my Windows disk this weekend for steam stuff and for keeping the OS up to date, and a lot of things felt backwards. However, this is again consistent in Windows universe and it's OK.

Again, I want to reiterate that, there's no one-and-only-one correct way to do things. We need to embrace this differences. This is what moves UI/UX research forward. I personally don't whine. Just adapt and love how quirky a UI is. If it's that broken, I patch it, or just submit bug reports.
I saw criticism in the original comment, maybe cynicism, but no hate. Hate is a strong word, we should not set the bar too low for using it.
No, what I’m saying is on the spectrum of crime in the US it’s insignificant.
Humble suggestion to a great project:
I'd put a different colour to a single 'person' of the crowd so to represent the user and to highlight in which group he is fallen. That changes for each answer obviously.
Kudos for shipping this nice project.
What if we seed without VPN?
Note that the base RISC-V ISA (IMA extensions) doesn't say anything about calling conventions or functions (calls and returns) or even a stack. All X registers except X0 are interchangeable.

Which registers are caller save or callee save or even which is the stack pointer or function return address is all purely a software convention in a particular OS and/or compiler.

(the C extension gives greater program compression if used with an ABI that uses X1 as the Return Address and X2 as the Stack Pointer, and X8-X15 as the most commonly used registers, but even then nothing breaks if you don't)
You know monogamy and pair-bonding are observed in many species? Several species of apes, monkeys, birds and fish have been observed to implement life-long pair bonding.

From a cold, logical perspective there are certainly evolutionary benefits to having a pair-bond not least of which is future certainty of care, for yourself and your joint offspring.
I mean there are things about Gmail that might make one think - I shouldn't use this as the email of my business if it is important to me - lots of them exposed and upvoted on this forum.
Reminds me of the open science framework (https://osf.io/), which is widely used by researchers from social sciences / psychology.
Anyone else see the heat map of the Back button being one of the most-used elements, and far more used than the Forward-button, and flash back to much, much earlier FF designs where the back button was, in fact, larger than the forward button and more prominent than most other UI elements?

Just Googled, actually, and it looks like 3.0 did that. 2008. Sigh.

Also, as a dedicated UI-depth proponent, I find myself in the awkward position of being the "no, not like that" guy re: the new tabs. They're jarring and don't seem like a coherent part of the design. More depth, yes, please yes, but with more purpose & thought behind it.
Yeah. That's the problem. Might not be related at all to the SF housing situation, insane rents and the fact that the US still has no universal health care insurance. You know. Stuff people need to survive and not be homeless.
Ugh.

Tell us what's been added.

Tell us what's been removed.

Tell us how interactions have changed.

I've been using the Web since the mid-1990s, Mosaic and Netscape initially. I've seen a lot come and go. Much of it has been bad. Major revisions strike dread in my heart.

As jwz has noted, UI is different, in that changes to it provide relatively little payback:

[I]n the case of all other software, I believe strongly in "release early, release often". Hell, I damned near invented it. But I think history has proven that UI is different than software.

Firefox is still somewhat relucantly my preferred GUI browser. My first love remains w3m (fast, light, keyboard, terminal), though the hostility of increasingly large portions of the Web, including unexpected quarters (Internet Archive, hullo!?) to plain non-JS HTML is discouraging.

The Nyxt browser looks increasingly appealing:

https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/article/release-2.0.0.org (HN discussions:
https://hn.algolia.com/?q=nyxt)

I use and lean heavily on Pocket. If I'm lucky it merely falls over, more usually it explodes in native villages killing thousands of innocents. Pocket still gets worse the more you use it: https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/5x2sfx/pocket_... (HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19763106)

Of the list of issues given, only find-in-page (Android app) has been notably added, in over four years.

If the new desktop browser borrows from Fennec, I've got issues there as well, as Fennec:

- Abandons keyboard shortcuts such at ctrl-L (navigation), tab switching, tab close.

- Abandons print-to-PDF.

- Doesn't support reorganising / reordering bookmarks.

- Abandons view-source.

- Bastardises error codes. (A set of 403 errors simply resulted in a blank page, I had to try other browsers to resolve a recent site issue.)

- Abandons the navbar "reader:url=?" hack. (Often sites only intermittently support reader mode.)

- Supports only a small subset (though, yes, a useful one) of Firefox extensions.

As a long-time power user, I want power-user tools and capabilities. I strongly suspect Mozilla will be deprecating these.

As the supporter of users with little technical knowledge, limited vision, mobility challenges, and cognitive impairments, I can assure you that any change is a net negative. (For one, a recent website refresh to their principle site of interest has been a months-long set of frustrations.)

UI should not change. That means getting it right if you possibly can, and where you cannot, owning those mistakes until doomsday. Again, as jwz notes, Apple sticks to its metaphors, no matter how screwed up those might be (the platform drives me nuts, frankly). Apple has seen two UI refreshes in the lifetime of Macintosh, and OSX is now older than Mac Classic was when OSX was introduced. (Hell, I suspect half the people reading this have no first-hand knowledge of the original.)
Quick, we need to make a video with some up to date memes in it.

Seriously, the video didn't even show anything. I have no idea what'll change based on that jump cut fest.
>The history of defi can be traced back to mid-2013 (mastercoin) or earlier (colored coins).

I disagree. Defi started with lending and borrowing dapps. If just tokens themselves are 'defi' then bitcoin itself is defi, which would make the definition pointless. Finance requires lending and borrowing.

>Digital gold is a euphemism for speculative store of value. Gold itself is a speculative SoV. For Bitcoin, that’s a sign of success — which is reflected in its market price.

The title of the bitcoin whitepaper is 'Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System' which means it objectively failed in its stated goal. Of course, it had to, as bitcoin is not backed by anything and money must be backed by something.

Now it's just a ponzi scheme that continues to make people poorer while fooling them that they're getting rich. The only way to make a profit on bitcoin is to take someone else's wealth - it's zero sum by itself. On top of that there's mining, which ensures bitcoin continuously destroys wealth and makes bitcoin buyers poorer as a group compared to everyone else.
Strange to see this happen at Crissy Field, which is decidedly in the "nicer part" of the city. Car break ins are common at the Palace of Fine Arts (about a mile away from where this incident happened), but most people would consider Crissy Field as a relatively safe place in the city where it's common to let your guard down (unlike at say Union Square).
One thing I don't understand is why they felt the need to make the UI bigger, I can't be the only one who mostly uses a 13" screen
https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/audit-california-track-h...

There are all sorts of stats and data out there. finding accurate information is very hard. Most counties have HMIS systems but many are not well maintained which tends to lead to very inaccurate data reporting.

There is also the issue that the moment a person arrives in California and sits on the pavement they are considered a 'resident' by many of the data capture folks, many of whom are pursuing ideological agendas.

That would be true if one knew in advance which books one was going to invest a lot of time and effort in.
I remember reading about the end of "compact" mode some weeks/months ago. With this update, it seems that change is finally here... Almost.

Downloading the nightly build, some investigation reveals the ability to reduce the space stolen by the user interface for pointless margins is hidden in about:config and can be found by searching there for "density."

Nonsensically, the browser.uidensity field allows values 0, 1, and 2, but:

* 0 has some useless UI margin space

* 1 has less useless UI margin space

* 2 has more useless UI margin space

What?? I guess incremental values were always supposed to go middle, low, high and I am just a crank.

All three options waste more vertical space with useless UI margins than the current version of Firefox. Designers have decided that their user interface is more important than the content it enables, and therefore we all must have more useless UI margin space.

Edit: Upon further investigation, browser.compactmode.show can be set to true and restore the feature on the customize toolbar page. For now. With the scary parenthetical warning "not supported."
Probably because the police actually investigate cases in Western Europe.
So... why did the people move to SF? To step in poop? Those jobs exist elsewhere, but not at the numbers they exist at in SF and the surrounding area. Most young people who move to The Bay Area would then end up moving to SF because it's the closest "real" city.
The new SRAM Eagle drivetrains have insane gear ratios that we couldn’t have dreamed about even 10 years ago.

My new Mountain bike has a 5.4:1 gear ratio at its highest setting. Back when riser bars were popular we were happy to have gear ratios of 2:1.
For the Pocket haters:

1. Why?

2. How would you implement a replacement functionality, whether in or outside the browser itself?

3. If you're using an alternative now, what is it?
Not really, especially because when playing on the move I'm always wearing headphones/earbuds so the device's internal speakers are irrelevant.

The screen size issue is marginal at best. You're trading it for a bulkier device: you might prefer that, and that's cool, but it's not an obvious and objective advantage for everyone as a result.

(Assuming all things equal and you've chosen the separate controller route: if not you lose the bottom screen anyway, because it's used as the controller.)
OK, but it's worth noting that a full-size camera wouldn't need to take a three-second exposure though.

I would like to see a full-size camera with some extra smarts though.
Please don't be so emphatic. You seem to have only part of the whole picture wrt to bears.

And many hikers use them too. The ones I encounter are no louder than a dog-collar.
The Great Wave Off Kanagawa by Hokusai, Explained
The funny thing is that I don't use any of the buttons in the browser. I use the URL bar to tell the browser what to show me. Cmd-T for new tap, then Cmd-opt-arrows to view the various things I've asked the browser to show me. Cmd-R for a refresh. Don't need a button for that. Multi-finger swipes for back/forward. My home is set to a blank page, so it's a useless button for me. Seems to me like a simple UI could be had. Got no opions on mobile. Don't use it enough to know what that experience is like. No get off my lawn!!
The difference is in the level of violence. The property crime is ubiquitous in SF, but it's largely crimes of opportunity. Having something stolen when nobody is looking is very common while being mugged (at knifepoint or gunpoint) is quite rare. I once directly confronted a would be bike thief and he merely walked away. I would not recommend such confrontation in other cities where the possibility of violence was greater.

For a small startup, I like GrooveHQ. It’s like the Zendesk experience but less janky, much simpler, and well suited to a small team. Just have your support emails forward to Groove. Will still be email support from your user’s perspective. You can keep your current workflow going but turn on forwarding to try it out.

In my experience, any ticketing system will be a huge improvement over using a shared gmail inbox for support.
Yes, they also need to tackle power efficiency, otherwise laptop users will be forced to use either Edge or Safari. At the moment, as I understand it, it pretty much runs all open tabs at full throttle.
From a UI/UX perspective, yes.

From a security perspective: hell fucking no. You need those updates.

Even if you're just doing plain-jane browsing, with no finance, commerce, professional, government, or personal interaction, you're putting your entire system at risk.

(TailsOS users possibly excepted.)
(Hello from an old Mozilla colleague.) Magic wormhole is a lovely gift to the rest of us, for which I thank you. It also illustrates the tremendous latent power that can be unleashed by accepting some constraints. The read-once is a usability limitation judo-ed into a strong security property. It reminds me of a great sonnet: the mechanical constraints of form generate tension, which an artist channels to great effect.
Oh they are. Their stuff are regular stuff.

What progressive policies would have helped?

Also, San Francisco is pretty much the quintessential example of such policies getting voted in place without challenge. So maybe you could argue that certain progressive policies were enacted that hurt so bad they significantly outweighed those that would have actually made things better. If that's the case, which progressive policies do you feel led to this situation?
True. In fact...

An elderly woman got evicted from the Tendernob apartment building that I lived in. Every night around 5p, she’d walk into the building, right past security, and into the bathroom. She’d lock the door and spend the entire night in there.
People are rightfully upset and impassioned about issues that directly affect their daily lives. I'm pretty pissed off my local politicians have proceeded to kick the can down the road on the same issues articles were being written about 10 years ago. My 'progressive' councilmember ignores my emails asking about when the bike lane network they planned a decade ago is getting implemented in our district, and seemingly I have zero recourse beyond pounding sand because this was supposed to be the transit oriented candidate (big lie, more status quo, and now they are an incumbent and likely there for years).

It seems like there is only a solution presented when there is already a plan for who the contract will go to, when it comes to everything from treating the mentally ill or sheltering homeless to building transit and funding local schools. I'm sick of having a public government that works to enrich the private few, and abandon its mandate of serving the public in the process. I don't blame others for feeling the same and posting on these issues on discussion boards. I certainly find solidarity visiting these threads.
How do universities have “sweetheart deals” with Elsevier? All I’ve heard is universities complain about the cost of subscriptions.

And it seems odd for the solution to be “force Elsivier to make articles free”. That’s like saying “Harvard and Stanford have the most prestigious degrees, but they charge too much, so the only fair thing to do is to force them to make it free”.

Seems to me the main problem is universities place too much emphasis on these “high impact” journals when it comes to career progression. Measure performance a different way and the problem is solved.

But, everybody doesn’t want to let go of what they get out of it, they want everyone else to give up their benefits.

Researchers - love the prestige of getting published in Science, hate that their articles aren’t freely available to other scientists (want their cake and eat it too). Could publish in open access journals but don’t want to take a hit in “impact factor” (first mover disadvantage).

Universities - love that someone else gets to judge the performance of their researchers rather than them. Hate that they spend tens of millions on access, but hard to say “publish in Science but we won’t pay for access” (cake and eat it too)

Journals - love the fact they can get fantastic papers submitted, and free peer review solely because of the prestige built up over decades/centuries. Want to charge the “willingness to pay” price for the prestige they bring, but cant justify the price versus cost of publication.
Also very importantly, it doesn't report everything you do under the telemetry umbrella like all Microsoft products do.
No need for mountain bikes for that, you see that behaviour everywhere here in Germany.

It is like some bikers forget they have breaks on their devices, instead just yell and curse the other people on the sidewalk that happen to be on the bycicle lane for whatever reason, after all it is just a different colour on the sidewalk.
Removing Support for the IndieWeb (2020)
The anti-competitive environment setup by Apple means that the developers are beholden to Apple. That is the whole point of the case.
I live on the peninsula also but have no problem going to SF for meetings. What parts of the city do you get asked to meet people in? I drive to BART and ride up to SOMA without a second thought (and I am neither big nor trained in self-defense).

HIV didn't come about because of unsafe sex, it was a freak accident involving blood. And as far as I can tell, in the history of modern humans there have been three STDs that have been life-threatening: Siphilis, HPV and HIV. So I wouldn't worry too much.

Remeber that unsafe sex is the natural norm, especially if you don't have to worry about unwanted pregnancy (as in the case of gay people). Safe sex only truly became a necessity because of HIV, an extremely recent phenomenon.

Does anyone actually use select mode?
First time I've heard of this and it sounds very useful.
For other US examples, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_public_transport#United_S... .

(That page, and the original BBC article, also describe a number of no-fare areas in Europe, but I assume by "Look no further" you are speaking from a US perspective.)
I think a big part of the SF hate is that it's ostensibly a liberal place, when it's really a conservative city. It has horrible housing policies and isn't actually racially equal when you look at the wealth distribution within the city. I think SF's external perception makes it a target for vitriol from right wing people on the internet.

SF has lots of problems to be clear, especially on the east side of the city.
Libel and slander are, at least in most of the USA, largely a civil matter, and aren't actually illegal, FWIW. The twenty-odd states that do have laws on the books about it don't frequently enforce, and it's usually just a misdemeanor. The civil liability is what keeps most large public lies in check.

We aren't talking about lies, though, we are talking about negative opinions, which aren't lies and thus aren't slander or libel.

Spreading your own negative opinions about someone or someone's actions is not illegal.
You've missed my point entirely.

My point is that just because I heard an acid attack outside my hotel in London, it does not make me qualified to criticize London or those who choose to live there.

Just as someone who visited SF a few times and saw some feces (etc) is not qualified to criticize SF or those who choose to live here.
