This honestly sounds like a great idea. At this point I'd pay money for a browser that was private, fast, and dev-friendly, simply to avoid the moral dilemma of switching from FF to a Chrome clone.
The blog post actually says it’s fixed already (but I would definitely expect them to keep the details private until they’re 100% sure, yeah)

Avoiding eating too much. It was easy for me to get used to frequent snacks and meals but this ultimately kills productivity and make me lazy and sluggish, not to mention other downsides. Moderate hunger on the other hand helps to stay focused and persistent.
Sure, there are loads of independent developers and that's great and tooling should work for them.

The majority of the top 100 native iOS apps are developed by teams of people working together. Apple unnecessarily makes it difficult for that group, which creates a barrier to entry for more sophisticated app development which is bad for the ecosystem.
I don't think I've thought of the name Oceania outside of references to 1984 (the book). I knew the word didn't originate from there but it's all I think of when I hear the term used.

Correct.

Much as with Windows becoming the dominant operating system resulting in Microsoft having to deal with botnets fabricated from thousands of compromised machines via forced security updates, the dominant system becomes heavily incentivized to protect the least capable users from their own bad decisions.
You’re right, depression can hurt a lot worse than pretty much any physical pain. I would encourage anyone to talk to someone if they were in that situation, because there are things that can help. That pain is not forever.

I think you may have misunderstood my post somewhat.

But to respond directly to you, a stereotype typecasting an entire country to lazy is damaging and not particularly useful unless you want to insult someone.

However handwaving away trends in cultures as a stereotype can also result in missing important facets, e.g. Burn out in Japanese work culture.

Are Germans more "efficient"? Idk, let's look at some data and try to nut out whether it checks out.

If it is, would be nice to know what aspects make it so. Though it's usually not simple.
All the real time guarantees would only ever happen in the libraries you are calling out to, not in the scripting language. That's just glue code. If the scripting language has the equivalent of eval() there is no way it can be made real time anyway.
They often avoided having to fight in wars too ;)
On a more serious note, in the past nobility and clergy were often exempt from various taxes (e.g. the taille, the main tax in Ancien Regime France) because of the other "value" they were bringing to society - an argument not dissimilar from those we hear today against various kinds of wealth/capital gains taxes!

> Is it necessary to refer to "a customer" at all in this statement? What would be problematic if the above were rewritten as something like:

That's literally what happened. They even say it was a valid configuration change, it's very blameless.

Saying "a configuration change" loses critical context. I would have assumed that this was in some sort of deployment update, not something that a customer could trigger. Why would you want less information here?
Plus it would be weird to present just that specific information, outside of the context of a post mortem / failure chain analysis type discussion.
Didn't you mean to say "where I _can't_ easily see and move things around"? or are you making a different point I'm not understanding, because it looks like you're negating yourself and I'm not sure what you mean.
Except there was much MORE to it than just that statement.
I think the fact the price of the stocks going down as it's being sold implies in itself that most of the value is wholly speculative. And for that aspect of the issue in terms of taxation I think there's better targets for it like closing corporate income tax loopholes (ex. Blizzard-Activision in 2017 basically paid no taxes and was paid in effective tax credits from various govts from state and local to make videogames) which is where I think the real problem lies. I don't think anyone should assume the paper wealth of Bezos or Gates is real until they cash out. And if do they, they wind out losing much of that even without taxation.

> This is true for every single currency ever and so doesn't make sense to invoke strictly for this one

It does, actually because the large holders of fiat currencies are governments. Their holdings are public. El Salvador can atleast identify, talk to and negotiate with them. They are at least somewhat transparent and accountable to their own citizens.

The large holders of BTC are completely unknown. You morons are empowering a global mafia. We don't know who they are, they have zero accountability to anyone but themselves.

Please wake the fuck up, this is not about number go up, you are fucking with global politics without even knowing it, happily complicit because it makes you money.

This doesn't defer taxes, it defers realizing profits. The loan payments have to be made with cash that came from some source which can likely be taxed. Anyone with assets can do this proportional to their assets. Admittedly most people don't have sufficient assets to make it worthwhile. Nor do they exercise the voting rights on stocks. But really any middle class investor with a nest egg could do it.
This is brilliant. I've found myself in a similar situation with my cousin as we've both taken up Go in the pandemic, and it's fun reading someone else describe some of the same things I've noticed. What has stuck with me a lot a year into this is how much psychology has played a role in our play, in the sense that while our play certainly is very sub-optimal when compared to any decent Go engine, it's always sub-optimal in a given direction that you could describe in psychological terms ("we play scared, or overly arrogant, etc."), and it's been fun seeing our tactics change to take advantage of some of those very human tendencies.
>There's a lot of wishful thinking around language learning. The idea that some part of it will "just happen" naturally is very appealing. The unfortunate reality is that you meed lots of practice at everything

Not really. In actual life tons of people have learned to speak a second language naturally without any deliberate practice, books, etc, just by immigrating to another place and picking it up making acquantainces, working (e.g. menial jobs), and so on.
Is Safari an option for you? (Mac?)
When I was a kid in the 90s we were taught that the tongue had specific zones that tasted specific tastes. There was a diagram and everything. I think it was long debunked even then.
> I think Safari is probably best in this regard on this machine, but I just don’t enjoy using it

Safari always gives me the feeling of being too basic. The extension ecosystem is very small, and settings panels try their hardest not to actually give you any options beyond the essential ones. It's a browser for people who endure the web, not enjoy it.

Project Galileo 7th Anniversary: Radar Dashboard
Hi! We offer different pricing packages since we work with a varied set of companies that use the product in different ways. Some example use cases: metrics and data viz on a landing page, admin panel dashboards, billing dashboards, custom dashboard share links, etc. Depending on your use case we'd be happy to chat more and figure out a pricing model that makes sense for you.

In general we don't charge for # of dashboards or even traffic to the dashboards. We charge based on the # of end customer groups you are presenting dashboards to. This has been the most aligned with our customers since you can use the full power of the tool and only pay more as your own business scales up.

More seriously, I definitely agree that just because Zoom is available, that doesn't make this easy to do. Indeed one might have said the same thing 50 years ago slightly differently, Zoom or no Zoom:

"Given the ubiquity of the telephone, he could use it to rapidly get out of the building to the U.S. to test some hypotheses and gather some initial insights."

Definitely easier said than done...
No need to go that far. He's just making up the numbers with absolutely zero justification.
The last time I bought a new car with a loan, which was in 1993, the interest was pre-computed. I tried to pay it off early, but I wouldn't save any money on interest. I don't think they do that anymore, but read the fine print.

Right. They didn't quite manage to connect the circle. Their website needed to say something like:

If Vivaldi were fully open source I would probably use it. But it's not.
And Opera openly admitted that they copied B&W there, because they considered it a very useful feature. It even came in a sub-version, which at that time was somewhat unusual for such an important feature.
Webmail replaces both IMAP/POP and SMTP for the connection between the user and the mail service they are using. The connection between you and a webmail provider is just a simple HTTP/S web application. It’s the connection between your mail service and the recipient’s mail server that will use traditional mail protocols.
I’d add that an ultra wide monitor is great in general, but even more so when you’re M1 Mac can only have one external screen.
Agreed. If you use an auth service (SaaS or self-hosted) that isn't AWS Cognito you will also find yourself wanting to integrate with your IaC tool. Having to roll this yourself with CloudFormation is a lot of effort, or at least it was last time I looked, and importing a third party "provider" wasn't really a thing.

Hardly a defense of claim that ‘probability’ means a state actor would need to be ‘omniscient’ to manipulate them.

I think it's informative to look at the location of a place within a timezone. Between the eastern and the western edge of a timezone you can have more than an hour of shift in daylight (in the broader zones), of course people's rhythms will be shifted.
There;s a difference between still being around and being an "essential part" of the web.

Flash was almost certainly not an essential part of the web. 2012 was 5 years after the iPhone and by then Android and iPhone constituted the majority of web browsing, and neither supported flash at all.

You couldn't very well say something was an essential part of the web if it wasnt supported on those devices in 2012.

Using Vivaldi as my main browser since a few months ago. Tab grouping and tiling is great. The side panel is neat for checking on Skype without installing the app.

I didn't experience any slowdown, but not being able to drag and drop files from downloads is a pain in the ass. It's been brought up on the forums and left at that years ago.
Safari is about the least dev friendly browser there is. Their API support is atrocious, especially for web extensions.
Makes sense. OS already does key storage (eg, secure enclave [1]) so its not hard to imagine en/decrypt without the key leaving storage.

So, after multi-cloud now we need to go multi-CDN?
Half joking here, it's actually a good idea although probably it's not worth the cost. I think GitHub (at least from my casual looking at that behavior during the outage) nailed it because they must have some kind of active/passive CDN config. They were affected by the outage but after a few minutes (less than whole Fastly outage duration) they were serving assets again.
Crucially, I went to Googles business first to look for things.

In the olden days, if I went to AAA for travel advice, I'd get their partners and such recommended, not generic all-encompassing information. But I went to AAA for it. I don' see how this is any different. I can chose to go to not-google and Google then doesn't impact me.

I don't know if the developer will see this, but I don't feel like it's worth making a bug; I almost always prefer screenshots to be near the top of a readme like this.

This design change to manifest V3 isn't about tampermonkey. It's about the capability space of manifest V2 allowing a malicious actor to make something like tampermonkey, have it grow in popularity, and then flip the script under the hood via the extension fetching an arbitrary script from a third-party source and executing it to turn every installed node into a botnet agent without changing any of the code in the extension itself.

Google is trying to solve a similar problem here to the one they have to solve with App Store apps: the ability to make claims about safety an end-user can trust. They can't make those claims if the extension can modify its behavior without any way for the Web Store administrators to know.

I'm not sure I understand your request?

The minimum wage is simply the process of illegalizing the hiring of labor for less than a certain value. This means that hiring anyone whose productivity is below that value is financially non-viable.

The practical result is that people whose productivity is below the minimum wage are only able to find gainful employment by illegally receiving less than minimum wage.
Probably the best game I have ever played and the only game I bought not once, but thrice (two were gifts).

Google is unfortunately getting worse for such things. Search for some error code and you get pages of spam and those that don't contain the code you're looking for, but a "very similar" one. Even one digit off makes a huge difference.
Wrong. GDPR asks that every website comply with their laws for anything that relates to EU. An italian citizen has to agree about it even if they live in Nepal. But a nepalese website doesn't have to care about GDPR as long as they don't have a presence in the EU.

The fact that websites put a cookie wall for everyone is the strategy of said websites to make everyone think they are victims of GDPR, but that is not true. If you don't want to put a cookie wall, the easiest option for everyone is to not gather personal data.

OK, I'm replying to your comment since it's the least aggressive — thanks for that!

I'll fully retract my statement. This is 100% the BBC's fault, 0% Fastly's.

Can I make one small suggestion that might help to prevent this kind of misleading reporting in future, though? What if Fastly produce the detailed statement they have, with as much accurate technical detail as possible AND a more general public-facing statement that organisations such as the BBC can use for reporting, that doesn't include such detailed information that can easily be misconstrued?
It was interesting talking to my Indian wife about elephants, for her, growing up on a farm, elephants were primarily a dangerous hazard, not necessarily to life, but they could certainly destroy her father's crops.

It was an interesting perspective since India as a country has some pride in elephants, and Indian Americans such as myself are very proud of India being the land of the elephants, but Indians who live in proximity to wild elephants tend to have a more pragmatic view of them.
This is horrible. This feels like the public isn’t interested in a topic as much like a group is expecting them to be, so the group fakes interest. It reads like “for your own good”. I predict that this will have zero impact on greenhouse gas emissions.

Not only that, but you can remove the username too: WebAuthn supports a "usernameless" mode where you press "login", touch your authenticator and you're in.
It could just as easily have been tested extensively but no testing is 100% guaranteed, especially in a world wide service as complex as a CDN. People who think perfect code comes purely from testing are delusional.

Hey sorry, I got hooked on this part of your post, "Rather, the people who make the food that feed us all don't make it because they want to feed us, but because they want to turn a profit. If they can't turn a profit, then they don't sell the food." and my eyes just blurred over the next sentence where you clearly say "it's a matter of distribution".

Reading more carefully, and thinking more, I am not disagreeing with you, except maybe when you say it's not a matter of regulation, in the sense that I believe that regulation hugely impacts distribution.

Ask HN: Can users update data in your app's DBs with SQL?
Do you find yourself in the difficult position of having users who make updates to the database owned by your application?

In my experience this happens because the application has gaps in functionality or the process would be much faster to complete in SQL then it would in the app. This makes turning off access difficult as these processes are often business critical.

Problems caused:
- Short-term - people make mistakes and corrupt/destroy data or cause downtime.
- Long-term - data can't be trusted.

I'd be interested to hear people's war stories and the methods/tech used to escape.

My thoughts are:
1. Track scripting
2. Catalogue reasons for scripting
3. Address the functionality gap that will remove the most common reason for scripting
4. Remove access to tables users were updating via SQL before functionality gaps were filled
5. Continue 1-4 until done
