But that isn't the case. At all. IE wasn't difficult because it was behind the times; it was difficult because it was deliberately different. The 2nd pillar of Microsoft's infamous Embrace, Extend, Extinguish strategy ensured incompatibility, which doubled developer efforts.

The idea of IE being purely an "outdated" browser seems to be one perpetuated by young devs reading & misunderstanding old blogposts. The narrative is attractive because it fits the impatient desire be an early adopter of "shiny new thing", but it doesn't match the reality of how IE6 actually worked.

Safari is compliant. It's behind but compliant. That makes it incredibly easy to develop for because backward compat. & progressive enhancement work well if you're not too lazy to develop according to well-known best practice.

What doesn't work well is the spec. du jour that the Google have just added to Chrome before submitting to a standards body and are proceeding to use their monopoly position to pressure other browsers to adopt. That's IE6 behaviour.
Spaces are a way to group channels together according to a topic : they are similar to Discord servers and groups of channels. You can add sub-spaces to further divide your channels, which is better than Discord's flat hierarchy.
"Nokia XR20 is designed for the long run. A phone that can stand up to anything life throws at it [...] with up to 3 years of OS upgrades and 4 years of monthly security updates, so your phone will be up to date into 2025. And because you’ll be using it longer, it’s better for the environment."

So, you end with users running an unpatched life-centric device for years after 2025. That's better for the environment...and for the ransomgangs.
Nix! I have an idea! Since we are on the topic of conspiracies, lets make this one juicy.

The Zionists actually collapsed the building so they could distract from a cellphone hacking company being in the news.

We could have had passwordless internet if people behaved nicely. Instead of signing in into Gmail with a password and 2FA code, typing your e-mail address would have been enough to see your e-mails if everyone was honest and never misuse this power.
I'd agree.

What seems to be missing is the populist support on both sides.

Imagine you're a police officer standing next to a 'bad apple' - you should be put in a situation where helping to prosecute the 'bad apple' is the easiest option for you to take. I don't think it's that easy. I've had plenty of jobs where I was working with an arseshole, but I've never taken it to HR. Maybe most I've ever done, is just ensured I don't have to work near them - solves my problem.
If you disable them, they are not visible. If a website shows you a modal that looks like a notification consent prompt, I hardly see what that has to do with a browser vendor, which is the subject of this thread.
I don't think the current numbers factor in water requirements, which can and will throw around these numbers quite a bit. India's farm protests are sourced in water problems to a significant degree.

isn't trapezoidal rule the thing that gets "rediscovered" regularly ? https://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/9602/rediscover...
For me the issue is simple. Does the mobile browser support the reader mode, allowing me to actually read an article instead of dealing with popups, ads and nags covering half of the screen etc.? Safari does. Chrome on iOS does not - at least the last time I checked. End of story.
I would not necessarily call it “pointless” as in “totally pointless”. The benefits could be: 1) “Trickling down” of new technologies. Development of new production and operation methods that could be used elsewhere. 2) New jobs, taxes, etc. Again there are “schools of thought” (or rather ideological movements) that dislike the idea of economic growth and ignore its positive impact on people’s standards of living. (Agains it’s not an excuse for unsustainability, of course). 3) As applied to transportation, direct increase of productivity (e.g., you are happier because you were able to visit your friends over a weekend). 4) (Probably one of the underrated aspects). Inspiration. More people would go on to become engineers, scientists, etc. Less people will become disappointed in civilization, technological progress and join weird political and ideological movements, etc.

If the money is supposed to go towards people preventing damage, wouldn't that include devs?

I can only speak from my own experience in biotech, but moving slowly was due to a lot of compliance box-ticking that didn't actually contribute a lot to either safety, reducing defect rate or meeting requirements. Conway's law applied: since bio engineers and lab techs move slowly, so did the software org.
You may have missed the fact that not all these 573K living centenarians are 100 year olds, only half of them are, the rest are already 101 or more, and of those only half of them are 101, the rest are already older.
Calling someone a wildcard is usually pejorative, if I'm not mistaken. It rubs me the wrong way, although I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

Hehe, I don't think it's actually solved in this article. The article is kind of rambly right, so it's hard to tell for sure.
That's not growth, just fat accumulation which is a much simpler process.
The server is closed-source, which is all that matters for centralised platforms.

An open-source client would be relevant for something P2P like SSB/Manyverse*, but for all other tech the sourcecode of the server will be your primary concern.

* And even with something like Manyverse, the sourcecode of things commonly used as "de facto servers", like SSB "pubs", ends up still being extremely relevant in practice just because of the UX of using the platform.
The New York Times Bestseller list covers a population much larger than that. Yet:

"""To make the list, it is estimated that novels sell from 1,000 to 10,000 copies per week, depending on competition. Median sales fluctuate between 4,000 and 8,000 in fiction, and 2,000–6,000 in nonfiction. The majority of New York Times bestselling books sell from 10,000 to 100,000 copies in their first year.""" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times_Best_Seller...

> So collision did happen! For just two frames (this code runs every frame; I was able to trace it back to the frame interrupt handler, so once every 60Hz). You’d expect a real collision to last more than two frames.

It happened but was too fast for a human eye.
And buggy. Element/Matrix is the worst chat app I have to use on a semi-regular basis.

I have to click away three modal popups during every single login, and it doesn't remember logins so I have to login every time I visit the page. It also asks me to verify my login/device on every login because it doesn't remember. This happens on two devices, with two different browsers.
Notice how none of this is engineering as such. Which is not to say this work is not useful, of course it is. But it’s political, coordinative, managerial in nature.

This is, shall we say, not always a good fit for someone who is good at engineering.
Apparently the idea that Android is a Linux distribution is hard to dispel, because most rather read what is written in some random blog posts patting their backs about "Linux victory" than actually read what is going on at AOSP and Gerrit PR.

"The United Nations has rebuked Israel for carrying out what it said was the biggest demolition of Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank for a decade.

From my understanding the position of the objects are different between NTSC and PAL. So if you set it to display NTSC you see the enemies in the wrong positions and the collisions are calculated on PAL.

Note: I'm not 100% sure I understood the article correctly

I found the article quite confusing I have 3 possible understandings:

1. The one stated above

2. Collision is extremely fast and not displayed on screen ( if was displayed in screen it will be easy to spot by going frame by frame )

3. Something else collided with something else. In the article it talks about the fish with the health bar

It's also because more land can be farmed, and thus farming is still a very valid option to earn income for small land owner.

You can't make any money with a 10000 kanal plot in Russia.

In Pakistan, you can't buy 10000 kanal plot for any money, such big plots are almost never sold. An average person can live a carefree life with a cash cow plot 10 times smaller.

1000 kanal plot reasonably close to a major city in Pakistan will cost in tens of millions, and are very rare finds.

That's one extreme extrapolation. How about, if this happens, it will be the end of commercial IP and the closed-web. Only open source with its inherent transparency and broad, distributed contributors (who would you sue? everybody at once?) and constant, real-time updates and improvements without lock-in or planned obsolescence would thrive when improved regulation gives avenues for redress and improves consumer awareness of security, as consumers flee the commercial silos in droves.
Both the Economist's text and the Fraunhofer press release focus mostly on the benefit of not using certain refrigerants.

How do you know this is a negative influence?

Element being made by the same people who made matrix, how much difference is there?

Is it not possible to see the source code? Is it not possible to partake in the development process in the same way most other open source projects work? Is it hard to connect to the network?

20 ampere? That's a lot of current for a microprocessor.
On SoCs with an on-chip modem, the modem can write to any part of host memory it likes. No IOMMU.

On the (very) few remaining phones that use two separate chips, what do you think the odds are that the host OS is hardened against attacks originating from its own modem? That is a hideously complicated protocol spoken between the modem and the host processor. Plenty of validation+overflow footguns. Finding exploits here isn't going to get security researchers promoted, if they can find them at all. "Exploit is available only to modem manufacturer" does not engender a high CVE score.

Oh, and, just to top it off, that interface between the modem and the host processor when they aren't on the same chip is... drum roll... USB. As in, BadUSB. As in, Mr. Phone says: "wow, somebody plugged in a USB keyboard! And a USB mouse!".

But hey, the modem doesn't even need to own the CPU. It can record and exfiltrate your GPS location quite happily via LTE, all on its own. And buffer up a nearly unlimited amount of location data on that private NAND flash it has in case you're out of cell range. All while pinky-swearing that location services are definitely absolutely turned off, promise. I don't know why people believe that location-tracking is ever turned off on a phone; it's just absurd to think that.
That's a bit like saying there's less incentive to work on (for example) Elasticsearch, because you can't deploy your fork on Elastic Co's official managed service. It's nonsense.

There are quite a few reasons to be pessimistic about space travel to new worlds. Never say never, but astronomy is no job for the impatient. It certainly won't help with our more immediate problems.

50% YoY growth for the next several years is not normal either.

Not being dependent on some external maintainer outside your preferred editor and encryption tools.

The ability to port to any alternative tools that provide superior capabilities, should the need arise.

Utilising the file using standard shell tools (gpg piped to grep, sed, awk, etc.).

I've been around long enough to see multiple tools come and go. Even PGP itself dates from after the beginning of my professional career with computers (though near the beginning). There are multiple applications, operating systems, and architectures I've used which have been relegated to the dustbin of history. I'm quite leery of becoming dependent on any one specific application or tool, most especially one that that's not been proven across multiple decades and widely adopted.

PGP, GPG, vi/vim, or emacs would all pass my tests. They're available on any system I could conceivably use. Even iOS, though with some difficulty.

Encrypting and syncing a file is simple.

Managing syncs from multiple locations of an encrypted file is ... a bit more complicated. Git might be able to manage that with some hooks.
Sure they do. They exfilled great amount of PII and telemetry from people.

Can I ask you if non-neurotyptical people would fit in this picture? Aside from being capable employees, are there perhaps moments when a non-neurotyptical person could chip in with design changes?
> You do realise there are probably more habitable planets than there are human beings right now?

I don't realise that, for one. It certainly isn't part of the shared knowledge or common sense, so I don't think the way you have expressed yourself is fair.

I thought we had only discovered a relatively small number of planets, most of which were relatively large gas giant types, and that claims to large numbers were based on speculation. That knowledge could be very much out of date by now. What is the current state of knowledge?

What is the definition of a habitable planet? If it's just "an earth-size planet that is so close to a stable star", I don't think it's really fair to call that habitable. If there's no life on the planet already, it would be a great deal of effort to make it ready for human habitation, wouldn't it? There will be rock but no soil, so we need to start with simple life forms for a long time before we can get human food to grow. Is there any reason to suppose that a lifeless planet would have a breathable atmosphere? Or if the planet is Venusian or in a snowball phase, we probably couldn't do much on a useful timescale. Again, I don't actually know what the state of knowledge in that field is, so I'm betraying my ignorance rather than trying some kind of "gotcha".

If we only need one planet at a time, I guess it's okay. But if we're talking about exponential growth, then we will need an exponential number of planets. We will "use up" the second one much faster than the first, and the third much faster than the second, and we'll probably need the fifth when we're starting the fourth and so on. There will come a time when we either need to slow down, or the difference between some technical and practical definition of "habitable planet" becomes relevant.
Not so. It doesn't matter if you have a six year old OG iPhone SE or the newest model. They are all grabbing the same update.
Matrix is a protocol because... it's a protocol. The spec is at https://matrix.org/docs/spec. There are loads of completely independent implementations of it, both clientside and serverside. Additionally, the spec is governed by the non-profit Matrix.org Foundation (https://matrix.org/foundation).

It's true that we (the team who created Matrix) also created Element as a for-profit startup to fund the core team to work fulltime on Matrix - and as anyone who works at Element will tell you, the reason the company exists is to grow Matrix and make it successful. In an ideal world Matrix ends up being a huge industry in its own right, effectively replacing the PSTN & email industries, and Element ends up with some small (10%?) marketshare alongside loads of other Matrix vendors out there doing their thing.

Just as XMPP wouldn't have happened if Jabber Inc hadn't bootstrapped the ecosystem back in the day; Element has a similar (but hopefully more successful) mission with Matrix. Or, perhaps similar to how Netscape helped bootstrap the open Web.

In other words: you are wrong; it's not a facade.

I'm not a DaringFireball fan, but this software is one of the incredibly rare (these days) Mac apps that isn't garbage. I considered posting a link here to this app months ago but was worried that would seem like spam.

I've never encountered something I would call "windows registry issues", but people obsess over resolving said issues. I suspect it's a combination of (1) The registry being Windows-specific (so it logically follows that some percentage of windows issues are a result of it (B) it's a mysterious "database" of "hives" and "hkeys" (to most people) (C) It's easily accessible. Hey man, look at all of those things in your registry. It's clearly loading down your system. Pay $14.99 for my registry re-cleanser and it'll be good as new!

Actually it's entirely on topic because it shows an alternative reality starkly juxtaposed against humanitarian propaganda.

Israel deserves to be held to a far higher level of scrutiny given its military might is entirely funded by US tax payers and AIPAC controlled Congress.
You're concentrating on the time period when IE was the only game in town and ignoring the 10 or so years post Firefox/Chrome (until basically they switched to Chromium) when it was behind the times and was a tremendous drain on web development.

Any attempt to say that otherwise is just wildly incorrect.
