I had the same experience. It felt like a distributed system written by people who’d never run one in production before.
Do you have plans to have policies on accounts? I.e. you don’t know your Customer yet fully but allow some small transactions as long as your customer’s account maybe dies not exceed a certain balance.
Or is this kind of contract not feasible since you would have to have an order guarantee. Or when will transactions fail logically? Like at a best effort you schedule transactions and if they don’t meet your policies they will marked as a failed transaction.
I guess I don’t grasp yet if one needs a gigantic ledger and a replicated state machine and have every transaction applied sequentially (across all machines), or there is some other way
Hi, I am not sure how to reply to the Broadwell bench thread, but I am randomly the nephew of malcolm. (Fathers brother)
I just want to go in a small tangent here, but I imagine that if Cesar knew he was going to die and had to adopt someone to continue his rule, he probably wouldn't pick his sickly nephew with no experience, no matter how bright he might be.
So I think it's very likely that Cesar put him in his will since he is a blood relative and didn't really expected to die soon anyways, but didn't mean to have him as his sole heir forever.
> If a module specifies go 1.17 or higher in its go.mod file, its transitive requirements are now loaded lazily, avoiding the need to download or read go.mod files for otherwise-irrelevant dependencies. To support lazy loading, in Go 1.17 modules the go command maintains explicit requirements in the go.mod file for every dependency that provides any package transitively imported by any package or test within the module. See the design document for more detail.

Wait, does this mean we can import things that themselves import kubernetes without also having to include this huge list of overrides [0] due to the huge list of v0.0.0 imports that k8s then overrides?

Or is that going to take other changes... (like fixing whatever makes k8s import + override v0.0.0)

Saw in the patch notes today for Firefox Android that it now supports storing CC details. I was a bit surprised to not see it mentioned in the desktop version's release notes though.
Damn that’s cheap on wasabi. No egress fees! Thanks for pointing this one out.

I would say that individual 'inflection points' might be incredibly rare. IE: maybe only 1 notable event out of 10,000 is like this. But something like this would only have to play out once or twice far back in history before the world we see today would be very different.
Well it _is_ a common trick for "making the bride pretty" or for short-term incentivized CEOs:

You know you've got a top notch DevSecOps team for example if everything is smooth, calm and boring — because most issues are automated away. That's exactly the point when you know you can safely fire that expensive team, because it'll usually take a few years until the automation surplus has been exhausted and then a few more until the starting chaos has propagated into actual outside-visible incidents.

Makes for a great bottom-line at approximately the end of shares vesting.

You didn't get that pro-tip from me.
I wouldn't be surprised if Google acquires this at this point.

Not sure how that is relevant to Firefox vs Chromium debate. Both Firefox and Chromium are open source.
It seems like stuff built with Unity doesn't work in Safari. I always have to copy it to Firefox or Chrome.

It’s hard to imagine a world where the US in 1941 would not use its industrial power to assert hegemony over the Pacific after being attacked. The Japanese strategy was to neutralize the US fast enough to reduce morale for waging a losing war. But US morale remained high throughout, so it too is hard to imagine a world where the strategy would succeed even if the attack on Pearl was executed flawlessly.

The anime Zipang brings up a more interesting point: had oil been discovered ten years earlier in Manchuria, would Japan have attacked the US and Dutch at all? Possibly yes: the question of “how do we defeat America?” eclipsed the more important “should we defeat America?” in Imperial Japan.
I'm really surprised that the open source NumWorks calculator is on that list! Also the RadioShack / Casio EC-4033 programmable from the 1980s...

Genuine question - if CO2 half life in the atmosphere is less than 50 years, why are we so concerned about it? Wouldn’t the problem solve itself given that we are both reaching peak consumption of fossil fuels and that they are expected to deplete with the next century?

In other words, wouldn’t the co2 concentration go down naturally within the next 100 years even if we let thing run naturally?
I’m pretty sure I had plantar fasciitis as well (I was never professionally diagnosed), when I first got into wilderness backpacking and long strenuous hikes. I switched quickly and permanently to very light trail running shoes, and added some brief calf exercises to my gym warmups. Also haven’t had problems since.
I didn't expect engineers to have global access to user data, which is what the article seems to say.

Sharing an SQS queue between services is ok then? Even the most basic example for SQS queues from the AWS SA training course recommends using multiple queues for different classes of video transcoding. All of those benefits evaporate once you share a single queue; if you're just reading that queue to create a job in a database, then the queue provides no benefit.
The fact that the program runs, and is an operating system, proves it has meaning. It's not a random collection of scribbles or incoherent scrawls. The computer can run it. We can interact with the program, understand it, and evaluate it. None of that is true with meaningless scribbles on a page.

In my view the TempleOS example is an example of sense versus non-sense. This is the difference between someone explaining that they have to take out their own teeth because they think the CIA hid radios in there and someone just making incoherent sound. The former is crazy, sure, but it's crazy made out of words that convey intent. If a schizophrenic told you they needed to remove their teeth to silence the radios in them you'd have a good guess about what the schizophrenic person was about to do. Again, not true for the person making incoherent noises.
If you treat it like real mail it ends up exactly the way the OP describes: a few high-value messages at risk of being lost in a deluge of low-value, often unsolicited, noise. My real mail is so full of stuff I don’t want and don’t care about that it makes me resistant to looking at it at all - in fact, the only reason I do (and irresponsibly infrequently at that) is because of mail that occasionally arrives that has legal or financial implications.

I think it’s reasonable to expect that sender-controlled messaging ends up in this state, particularly when the messaging platform is incentivized to support this model.

It would have been better if reinfection was described as "you'll test positive again, but it will be milder". Instead the media was full of articles saying "immunity lasts only 6 months"
Trees actually can provide tremendous cooling dynamics, beyond CO2 absorption. They provide shade at ground level. If every house in the US were surrounded by trees instead of useless lawns, energy use for both heating and cooling would be lower, so you’d get emissions reductions AND carbon absorption.
Green jet fuel is 50 years behind other synthetic fuels. Everybody else has given up on Fischer-tropsch chemistry (where you are stuck balancing the tendency of polymerization to go explosively and of breaking hydrocarbons down to methane running quickly at high temperatures — you work really hard to get a trickle of fuel out of a big and expensive machine.)

If they wanted to get somewhere they would give up on the billionaire talk and go to single entity fuels such as 1-butanol and DME like everybody else. (E.g. cars and trucks)
Mandatory Vaccination - News from DW featuring Tony Blair and John Campbell
To add to the comments not mentioned any UX reasons, I wanted to use Firefox on my phone as I do on my desktop and laptop but when using it I disliked the tab organisation compared to Chrome, and that's pretty much all I need the Web browser to be good for on my phone, where I'll often have up to 100 tabs open. Maybe it's changed now but Firefox had an impractical 3D scroll through tabs showing only the top IIRC, whereas Chrome has a much more practical grid of page previews that allowed for easy navigation. It also now allows one to group tabs very nicely.

I hope Firefox has changed, or that there's a setting hidden away somewhere for these.
I'm in a similar situation; the company I worked at was acquired a couple of months before the pandemic. The sale gave me enough money to retire a few times over, 2 days after my 30th birthday. I initially went through a long period of guilt. I've tried angel investing, impact investing, doing hackathons, applying to fellowships and launching side-projects. I've realized that a lot of the skills I've gained in the last decade were built around generating money. Yet my happiness and fulfillment skills were under-developed.

The most absurd part of it all is how little happiness I got from all that money. Meaning and purpose are things you have to make up. If you can find happiness in a day job, in some ways you're better off than the aimless millionaire.

I'm lucky that I have a huge passion in music and have been focusing more on that lately. It's definitely weird for me to work on something without a direct financial incentive. Yet there are many people in the world, rich or poor, living for purposes outside money.

I haven't really had too many people to talk about this with. But it feels good to share a bit. DMs open to those in similar boats
The test velocity has been fairly stable now for long enough to establish the delta variant R rate is significantly higher than with the previous variants.

We are definitely doing more testing in the UK than a year ago and it’s likely reflected in the case stats, but at the same time the rate of case growth during the last few weeks looks like a straight line up and that’s not a good thing.

We will likely see fewer hospitalisations than before due to a fairly successful vaccination effort, particularly with the edlerly, but as cases go up so does the number of people who may not die but end up with long covid. Also, the more people infected, the better breeding ground for the virus to develop new variants, and a higher chance of vaccine escape due to evolutionary pressure.
> Doubt we'll ever get a truly objective assessment for the past year and a half for at least 10-15 years, if ever.

My daughters children maybe will have enough distance to reflect on it. Maybe her grandkids. And it won’t be pretty… this last year and a half has been the biggest public health care fuck up in recorded history.

What we did with lockdowns, masks, social distancing… it’s all modern day rain dances. Just humans thinking they have more control over nature than they actually do. Same basic mechanism humans used thousands of years ago to trick themselves into thinking goat sacrifices would ward off disease and famine.

What we did is truly horrific. But the truth won’t be widely recognized until most of the players involved are long dead. Unfortunately…
More lies for the stupid masses. Any flu or cold will have lasting symptoms if you don't shake it off, do some exercise, eat well and force yourself to 100%

I wish Firefox had a better mobile experience, which might help entice new users through word of mouth. Their biggest issue (on mobile at least) isn't speed, it's the UX.

Obviously, they'll always be gimped on iOS unless something changes there. But the latest Android version still doesn't have feature parity to Firefox 68. And Firefox 68 wasn't perfect either. Some simple UX issues with current versions come to mind: All basic browser functionality is hidden behind a kebab menu, pull-to-refresh isn't live yet, if the toolbar is at the top then the new tab button is still at the bottom, the length of a drag to dismiss a tab is too long, tab management in general, etc.

General users just won't bother with a browser that has an inferior UX to Chrome. Mozilla really needs to analyze browser affordances, specifically Chrome's, and look at how they can make it better, because Chrome isn't perfect either. It needs to be a top priority, so they can use mobile as a gateway for desktop installs. Ad-blocking is all it's got going for it on mobile, and that's not good enough for general users to convert.

All that being said, I love the desktop experience. But they're hurting their brand on mobile, and they don't even know it.
Fair enough, but:

1) Hardware is a lot more fun than software. Being able to twist knobs two-handed, live, not using a mouse, is pretty freaking cool, and is a big part of the experience, IMO

2) If you do spend money, don't write off the volcas. They may offer less sound design, but they're a great capturing of that experience essence. You can syncronize a few, put in a mixer, and jam with a friend or two very easily. It's an expensive hobby if one falls into it's rabbit hole, but this particular model line is both inexpensive and good.
Lead dev here. Yes, this is a give-and-take that probably will never be "perfect" for everyone.

Right now a site could disingenuously call the relevant Facebook SDK API to unblock the Facebook resources listed here, and only on that site: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/extensi...

I'm not too sure why that would be worthwhile as an attack, though. If you have anything in mind that would make it so, please let me know.

In the meantime, I'm working on a way to further tighten this a bit so the unblocking will only happen if a popup is successfully opened (so that at least if the popup blocker kicks in, nothing will happen unless the user intentionally allows that popup). I'm not 100% sure if that will work well, but I hope so.

> What I'm now wondering about with all this talk about gravity and blood circulation - is anyone here using those 0 gravity setups where the screen is hanging above you and you are practically lying down ?

I just put laptop on my bed, put a half-pumped sitting ball on the bed near the laptop and lie belly-down on it. About half the working time I just sit normally near my desk and the other half I change to this bed "setup". No back pains for over a year now (but I also started walking ~8 km a day so it probably helped too).

So much of my life would be better right know if you didn't just describe me.
The usual way to increase arable land is by cutting down a forest.

"Surely the net biomass stored in fossil fuels could be completely resuscitated, so to speak." - that's a strong no - fossil fuels have accumulated over millions of years, having all that carbon become biomass all at once would not be returning to something that existed earlier but something completely unprecedented, it would require many times more biomass than the Earth has now or has had at any particular moment of history.
That's a crude way to put it, but yes, I can't see how this can go on. With limited resources, trying to keep up with giants speeding away from you, whilst market share keeps shrinking.

I'm trying to think of a good exit plan, but I don't see any.

Switching to Chromium, which would be a humiliating defeat, solves nothing. Chromium + privacy is Brave.

Donating the entire project to the larger open source community won't do miracles either. It's highly questionable how many contributions will be made, but that's not the real problem.

The real problem is that there's no reach. It's not an engineering problem. If you can't push a browser as a default or plug it from a billion user platform, you're out of the game.

I don't know about Kobo devices, but there are ebook readers with multiple display modes, several of which work well for console / terminal use, and might even be usable for some GUI applications, with suitable tweaks.

Text-based use is actually excellent.

The general principles of eink UI/UX design that I've been formulating are:

- Persistence is free. If the display doesn't need to change, it draws no power, and will display the last-painted content indefinitely.

- Pixels are cheap. The pixel density is high, typically 200--300 dpi. This is better than all but the best Retina displays at the low end, and parallels paper at the high end.

- Ambient-light and bright-lit environment performance is excellent, most especially direct sunlight. Frontlight or backlight systems make low-light performance better. Principle mode is reflective rather than emissive display. Shading and pigmentation is subtractive rather than additive.

- Paints are expensive. They draw power, are typically far slower than emissive displays (1-8 Hz rather than 60--200+ Hz), and result in significant degredation (ghosting) at higher modes. Repainting the screen is highly distracting.

- Contrast is limited. Modern displays are typically 16-shade greyscale. Line art and high-contrast block regions display well. Halftoned images appear better than direct rendering. Shading and any deviation from pure-black-on-pure-white contrasts degrades performance.

- Colour is nonexistent in most cases, and limited where present. There are colour e-ink displays, though these tend to be muted and pastel, best suited to comic books rather than high-saturation photorealistic presentation.

- Paginated navigation is highly preferred to scrolling. Pagination is predictable and executes a single repaint for a navigation action. Scrolling at high-quality display levels creates noise and takes time, at lower-quality display levels remains difficult to track accurately and creates a large level of artifacts on display.

- Dark-on-light is preferred to light-on-dark, generally. Night-mode themes typically don't render well.
The hypothesis in the article could be correct (that industry is not adopting new academic innovations because they fail in the real world).
Based on my experience in this industry, though, it could just be that there isn't a super strong connection between academia and the people implementing these kinds of systems. I've had many conversations with my academically-minded friends where they're astonished that we haven't jumped on some latest innovation, and I have to let them down by saying that the problem that paper was addressing is super far down our list of fires to put out. Maybe there are places where teams of top-tier engineers are free to spend 6 months every year rewriting critical core systems use un-battle-scarred new algorithms that might have 20% performance improvements, but most places I've worked would achieve the same result for far less money by spending 20% more on hardware.

Yeah, most people don't go around making unreasonable demands on purpose. I have worked myself up in the past into believing that I must be lazier than everyone else, or that all my managers have been rabid workaholics who think everyone else is lazy, or maybe I don't belong in this job because their requests seem so daunting, but they were given so casually, so maybe it's not the requests that are unreasonable but my productivity...

You're supposed to work with them to balance the needs and set the expectations on both sides. Management is probably so used to this exchange that it may never occur to them to actually inform you that you're expected to push back if needed. They think that when you acquiesce to the request, it means you actually think that it works just fine, not that you think it's not worth arguing or don't know how to. And techies IME, especially younger/less experienced ones, tend toward the dangerous assumption that their managers know how to do their subordinates' jobs[1] and that their dictates are sound. Of course, it doesn't need to be an argument, as such -- as with many things the attitude should be not "my needs versus your demands" but "us together versus the problem of sizing resources for this project". I think it's generally not necessary to get terribly aggro about it, but approaching it as a sort of consultation helps a lot.

(1) They hired you to do your job and your manager is being paid to do a different job, right? And your manager's job description is not "be better than you at your job and also do some paperwork and performance evaluations". Best case scenario, your manager used to do your job but it's been a while. Quite possibly they have never done your job at all. Your manager's job is not a superset of your job, and you know things they don't about your job. This may sound exceedingly obvious but it took me quite a while to fully integrate this concept.
I sense some cognitive dissonance between your two paragraphs. In the first you argue for a focus on consumerism and marketing, in the second you criticize Firefox for competing by appealing to styles and trends.
I would be very sad if Firefox switched to Chromium. Not just for standards-reasons, but because Firefox, with some userstyles tweaking, supports multiple rows of tabs, which Chromium-based browsers cannot do. Also keyboard-based navigation shortcuts are much better, unclear to how much that has to do with Chromium or not.

Also I'm not sure if Chromium-based browsers support the full extent of uBlock Origin.
