Yes, and "dozens more" needs to be changed to hundreds more, with most not being known even to industry insiders. Lots of them are single vendor globally, and are Taiwanese.

For example, FOUP cleaning machines are made only by Gudeng (as well as ultra low particle FOUPs themselves,) and don't think that "cleaning machine" is any much less sophisticated than other equipment. It's the size of a truck, made of space age materials to survive fluorines, and costs many megabucks.
I should have been clearer, apologies: Not sending from Notesnook to external sources but sending from external sources to Notesnook in order to create a note. But I guess if it's encrypted by the apps before syncing, that's going to be tricky. Although a commandline helper app would work - it would have access to the local encryption configuration of the apps.

Creators do that because the ad revenue from YouTube is so low. So to fixed that, YouTube would either have to show more ads or introduce more paywalls.
Programming languages shape the way we think about problems. I know linguists reject the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis for natural languages, but I definitely think it is true when it comes to programming languages.

This means the language you are familiar with will always looks more efficient and a better fit for any particular problem than a language you are not as familiar with. While tribalism and identity certainly plays a part in language wars, I believe the language advocacy is often genuine in the sense that the advocate really believe their preferred language is superior, and just want to help other people realize this. They genuinely don't understand why people would deliberately chose to use an obviously inferior programming language.

A example of this form of advocacy is the classic "Revenge of the Nerds" http://www.paulgraham.com/icad.html

> As an illustration of what I mean about the relative power of programming languages, consider the following problem. We want to write a function that generates accumulators-- a function that takes a number n, and returns a function that takes another number i and returns n incremented by i.

Note that the "problem" used to compare language power is not actually a problem. Rather it the solution a particular language would use to solve some problem. Unsurprisingly this particular language "turns out" to be the most powerful in the comparison. If we had chosen a different "problem" like writing a function which was statically guaranteed to return a list of integers, the winner would be different.
I would bet it’s using applocker APIs under the hood. Maybe a nicer/easier interface? If I’m right that means Microsoft shipped those with home versions despite not having the group policy endpoints. It may be possible to import local policies to manage it but I’ve never tried.

Invidious (https://github.com/iv-org/invidious) allows me to tell YouTube and Google to fuck off. Not just the ads but the tracking, dark patterns and their terribly slow UI.
Chinese would be happy to pay for it for sure. Money spend on ISS could be used on new space station or other space programs, for example to gain chip independence. Russia is trying to be more self-sufficient, there is political backing for that.

ISS has questionable scientific value, all those vibrations prevent most scientific experiments like crystal growth. And NASA runs it like flying hotel for space tourists and now "disabled astronauts".
It's a good experiment:

- we'll see how good of a currency it is

- how creative people are when trying to avoid delays / transaction costs.

- how law enforcement will work when money is stolen. (imagine their government's funds getting stolen, ordinary people I doubt they will do much)

I assume they will likely make their own exchange where people can park funds and 'transfer' funds on paper. This also solves returning money back and so on.

Firefox Nightly allows you to set whichever set of extensions you desire as the "blessed" extension collection, so you can also create a custom collection and choose that.

But the Firefox rewrite isn’t handling all extensions well.

Container Tabs break hilariously, spawning tenthousands of tabs.

Tampermonkey and similar extensions that spawn popup windows or custom tabs fail, too.

Sidebar extensions like vertical tabs break as well.

But you can get them to work :)

Re: Intrinsic value:

I'm annoyed that the intrinsic value argument is constantly being brought up even by economists against crypto currencies. I have a similar understanding of the concept as you have, in that the value derives from the material eventually - land being most valuable.

However, what many that say BTC has no intrinsic value neglect is the opportunistic value of the traditional banking sector. German Wirecard e.g. went broke and now its stock is worth nothing anymore. Seems there was no intrinsic value either except for a few office chairs I guess.

Nobody warned investors of that. But for Bitcoin, where corruption is less likely given its transparent structure, people keep talking about intrinsic value and how it apparently has none.
>Accumulating capital & power (e.g bitcoin, land, property, influence) has always had a 'stumble upon' component.

I'm sure that inventing the Internet had a component of drinking coffee.

Anyways, the BTC is a power transfer by virtue of being early and demanding all the goods and services to be provided in exchange of transferring some amount of it.

If that is deemed unfair by the stakeholders it is very likely that there will be fight and murder phase. Can you imagine if it turns out that Satoshi is a mathematician from El Salvador and secretly holds half of the reserves once BTC is established as a world currency?

Do you think that El Salvador will instantly become world's richest country and everyone will provide them with food, wine, weapons, iPhones, software in exchange of some of the coins?

For those watching YouTube on Android, I'd strongly recommend NewPipe (via F-Droid)[0]. Its feature-set probably exceeds that of the official YouTube app, plus you can import your subscriptions and there are no ads and I think most if not all of the tracking is also removed.

"2 minutes setup" is mentioned in various places on the page, as well as on the chrome store page.

Why 2 minutes? I assume this is used as a stand-in for "very short time", because there's no way it actually takes two minutes to install unless your internet is particularly slow, and I don't imagine there's much to configure.

It seems a bit out of place, especially when the extension itself centers around the problem of 5 seconds feeling like an eternity.

Edit: I just installed it as a test, and it was ~instant.
I think part of the issues is that the line between enterprise tooling and smaller site tooling has disappeared.

Even people building personal blogs will be inclined to use enterprise tooling, and take on all of the overhead of tool-chains and configuration.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic.

Try SponsorBlock [0]. It’s crowdsourced and works very well by skipping intro/outro/sponsorship etc. parts of the videos.

I have been brainstorming on how to make this possible. The use case in point was: creating notes via Email. I have a couple of rough ideas but I don't know how feasible they are security wise.

The most reliable way would be to send notes from external sources into an "inbox" of sorts; this inbox wouldn't be encrypted. Later on, when the user will open the app it would move and encrypt everything in the inbox. This is not secure or private at all.

Your idea seems good as well; a command-line helper app responsible for encryption.

Housing prices always reverts back to CPI over multiple decades, i.e they offer no real capital gain. Robert Shiller wrote a lot about this.

Also I don't understand how a growing population leads to increasing prices, while there's so damn much unused land? Either there is enough new land, then people eventually spread out (and prices revert to the CPI, to the cost of construction), or there isn't enough land and homelessness increases as more and more people are completely priced out. Right now nearly every country is in the first situation.

I'm sorry, but HELOC is really just dumb.

> Newbie can also be yourself looking at your own code a year later. You will have forgotten a lot and will have made it harder for yourself to re-understand what you were doing.

I hear this argument a lot but maybe that's just me but I don't forget much. I don't have perfect memory, far from it, but remembering my thought process when faced with my old code, even decades old is not really a problem for me, especially if a lot of though was put into it, as it tends to be the case with "clever" code.

And it can also an important part of the learning process, reading old code is a good way to take a step back and seeing what really are the good ideas and the ones that are terrible.

Also, I don't think there is too much of a difference between learning and applying, especially not in programming. That's one thing I love with this job, there is always more to learn, and while theory is also important, it happens by actually doing things. Boring, repetitive tasks are for the computer, not the developer.

And I totally agree that one should not make the code more complicated than necessary, but what it necessary is maybe the hardest skill to master.

As for Duff's Device is definitely "clever", few people realize that switch/case in C are that closely related to goto, it is not how they are usually taught and I certainly didn't before seeing Duff's Device. And there are more straightforwards ways of manually unrolling loops that don't have you pause and think.
There are multiple filter lists for this very thing. For uBlock Origin, open the dashboard and go to the Filter lists tab, then look in the Annoyances section. “Fanboy’s annoyance” and “EasyList Cookie” both cover blocking these things. Make sure cosmetic filters are enabled.
A few points of interest for those that want to dig more:

* This is an analysis of what was actually passed. It's a big deal as far as "legal tender" goes: https://twitter.com/robustus/status/1402456274340442113 For an discussion on what "legal tender" can mean, see: https://www.coindesk.com/el-salvador-bitcoin-legal-tender-ko...

* For those that don't know, the US Dollar was El Salvador's previous only legal tender. For a list of some other countries that use USD or are pegged to USD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_exchange_... - note of those, the Marshall Islands has previously announced plans for a CBDC (working w/ Algorand) and politicians in Ecuador has also brought up the possibility of introducing Bitcoin as legal tender. Many LatAm politicians (many that have been pegged to USD) have announced support for cryptocurrencies. Perhaps domino theory is back in play? https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1402279912623464458

* The plan for the merchant/end-user use case is apparently to use Strike https://strike.me/ , which is a custodial service built on the Lightning Network - see also https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210605005045/en/Str... (Technically it's opt-in and you can use any wallet, but I'll just leave this recent thread here as an example of why this isn't really an option: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1376286470256873475.html )

* Anyway, that last detail is I believe is getting sidetracked from the main point, which is that as a (to my mind) clear direct consequence/reaction to current US monetary policy, and a shot across the bow of USD's reserve currency status. One doesn't have to look further than the numbers for foreign holding of US Treasury Bills to see how the wind has been blowing: https://ycharts.com/indicators/increase_in_foreign_holdings_... but of course, you can also listen to much smart people than me opine about this: https://youtu.be/ScAeHsXIUqI?t=528

(It appears that El Salvador plans hold $150mm USD in a fund that will slowly convert into BTC, assuming price volatility risk for merchants that want USD)

》Turkey invades Bulgaria tomorrow

Have you seen news recently? It is happening every few months. Bulgaria had to call army to secure and enforce borders. There were new barriers installed, Turkey used bulldozers to demolish them.
I used perl and PDL heavily, before moving to Python and numpy. Both have annoying issues, and oddly, their warts are complementary. Particularly, the core API in PDL is miles better than numpy's. Before I could tolerate actually using numpy, I had to write a library to patch away numpy's warts, by effectively writing a PDL compatibility layer. Check it out:

https://github.com/dkogan/numpysane/

Now the core numpy has usable broadcasting, concatenation and basic linear algebra. Kudos to the PDL team for the excellent core design.
There is an ebb and flow in the JS ecosystem.

First we get a framework. That framework is missing some key functionality or features so we get plugins and eventually a meta-framework standardising the new behaviour and maybe introducing a slightly new paradigm. That meta framework gets unwieldy and we get a ground up rewrite (new framework) that trims the fat and uses the new evolved features as first class concepts.

This is exhausting only because of external and internal pressures to "keep up". I don't see anything inherently wrong with the evolution of ideas and concepts being explored in breadth and depth. Writing and publishing a new JS framework has a very low barrier which is a huge positive that I rarely see extolled compared to complaining that the ecosystem needs to constrain itself.

That's a rather theoretical argument. If you were the sole owner of the world's land, then people would probably resort to kill or capture you to redistribute the land.
Personally I don't mind such sponsorships provided it's always made clear that it's a sponsored endorsement. Not an unreasonable way to pay the bills, and I get high-quality content free of charge.

There's a new trend to add intrusive and distracting Subscribe now! 'pop-ups' to videos. I find these intensely annoying, and they put me off revisiting a channel, but I might be in a minority.
Yes, what makes sponsor segments more valuable is the superior human-curated targeting.
Exactly. But unfortunately, that's how we learned to use the internet: Leech everything for free if possible.
The full circle
I keep an eye on Vivaldi because it might be the one browser that isn't going insane or becoming intolerable in one way or another. I'd probably switch if they'd offer some subscription model so that it's clear what I'm paying for, and that they're not making money off of me any underhanded way.
I might sound naive, but as a true hyperscale internet company to plan for disaster scenario like this as a consumer of fastly?

How could you plan for an outage like this by fastly and how could you mitigate this?
I noticed this while learning to drive. When I practiced driving continually, I was learning little. But when I gave few days breaks in the middle, I found myself much more comfortable.

Even with exercise, I've observed that intermittent rest has helped.
Vivaldi Mail? That took a while :-D

Vivaldi is developed by a team created by the former Opera founder and CEO. Vivaldi kind of tries to re-create the spirit of Opera, but I think it's going to be too hard to do it.

For those who didn't use it, Opera was first a paid browser (which limited its reach), then an ad-supported browser (which again limited its reach). It then finally became a free browser but by then it was too late.

It had its own, super fast, rendering engine (I forget its name, Presto?). It had a built in email client, feed reader, calendar (unfortunately with no Exchange or Gmail integration), a notes app, a powerful download manager and even a Bitorrent client. And a TON of features and UI flexibility.

It was super compact, a marvel of engineering and UX design that managed to pack all those things in a package of about 5MB at the time, and you wouldn't even see or load the extra functionality like the email client if you didn't use it.

Unfortunately with HTML5 and the Chrome-ification of the web, it couldn't keep up :-(

Vivaldi tries to do the same on top of web techs and web techs just can't handle it. Web techs are almost as flexible but they're really slow and bulky.

Still, I wish them luck.
It's pick-your-price with no minimum, so there is imo some shaming involved if you actually specify $0 and download it for free. That makes advertising it as a free download a little bit iffy. Also, they want your email address for the download.

The book does sound promising though I really liked the 2nd edition of Horowitz and Hill back in the day (I haven't seen the new 3rd ed. yet). It seems like a tough act to follow.

Added: looks like the book is a 110MB download that you have to download with a browser (javascript link). Can't use wget. Any chance of a direct link to a pdf?

Added: I've spent a few minutes flipping through, and it looks like a very practical book whose subject matter is nothing at all like what I expected (e.g. like Horowitz and Hill). There's nothing about Ohm's Law or transistor gains or anything like that. It's about how to build and test shippable electronic products: that is, you can already design and build the gadget on your workbench, but now you have to get it ready for manufacture, testing, etc. It warns you to take Chinese New Year into account if you're working with contract manufacturers in China, etc.

It's a normal-looking PDF of about 300 pages containing seemingly normal text (there might be some diagrams here and there). I have no idea why it's 110MB instead of say 1MB. On today's computers it is still manageable, but it's yet more bloat.
I think this could be a tad outdated.

Given generic language tooling innovation (lang server, llvm, ...) it's possible to launch a language with good tooling.

Given, also, the ability to piggyback on jvm/.net/cpython-vm (cf. julia)/c ffi/.. its also possible to launch with libraries.

I think today language popularity is a lot more about: (1) big name support; (2) killer app/library.

If you can't get (1), and you're in the lang. game, i'd be looking at a (2).

ie., solve some problem better than its being solved anywhere right now, in your language, in a way which naturally suits it. The opportunity cost (on using poorer solns) then forces adoption.
I think the parent poster was being somewhat self-aware and tongue-in-cheek. They're not saying centralization is the ideal; just that it exists and works well.
