A browser has like two main UI controls, the tab bar and the address bar. How do you make a redesign that fucks up approximately 50 % of your primary UI? Just don't get it. This screams "Oh but it looks so fancy and modern to me, a UX designer". Meanwhile you a) removed the main UI visually "flowing" into the active tab header (which signals which tab is active) while b) severely reducing the contrast of the active-inactive background in the contrast (to wit: before the change it was almost literally black and white, now it's two slightly different shades of white).

Stuff like this should simply be rejected. Design that is unusable and tailored to look "clean" on a calibrated monitor is not design at all.

I was mad when I upgraded Firefox and suddenly I couldn't see the boundaries between my tabs anymore. I have a lot of tabs. Glad to see that there is a trick in Firefox 91 to restore the old style, otherwise I would have just stayed on Firefox 89 forever. Interesting that CSS is used to style the browser chrome.

Another thing I didn't like after upgrading to FF89 was overscrolling, but fortunately once I figured out the term itself (which took a good bit of Googling as the effect is hard to describe) it was easy to disable.

Recent updates to Firefox have made me pretty unhappy with Mozilla, though. Really not a fan of major UI changes happening between updates with no warning. They should make it easier to revert to the old UI.

I'm buying a car right now. I own two German cars that have both been on the road for over a decade. Great cars, but they're at the end of their life now. I want one of the most common possible sedans you can purchase today to replace them: the Toyota Corolla. Should be an easy process, no brainer, in and out in less than half an hour.

And yet, the whole experience with dealerships and Carvana-likes is utter dogshit. It is a 1000% ripe market for any small shop who wants to own the entire experience Amazon-world-domination style.

And it will happen. There's too much free capital in the world right now.
I started buying tapes again recently. They are a good size to collect even if the music quality is suspect.
> What did we read right here on HN recently about IP blocks changing hands for about $40 per address? IPv6 addresses are approximately 100% cheaper than that.

This is just silly. If you are an ISP then you already have an IPv4 allocation.

If you don’t then you join the waiting list and/or apply for a /24.

Once you have your allocation, RIR fees are the same regardless of IPv4 or IPv6 allocations.

> But it doesn't stop there, you also no longer need subnet planning -- where under IPv4 it's very important whether this new subnet is 60 machines or 64 machines, in IPv6 you don't care and so nobody needs to manage that. Which translates to lower costs in your network team. Negligible when your "network team" is just the CTO doing a Google search, but significant at scale.

If you believe this is in any way meaningful then I have a bridge to sell you.

> Your route costs fall too. Because of exhaustion (and because years ago nobody had any idea what they were doing, not having had an Internet before) IPv4 is now badly fragmented, which means a trivial route ("All the East Coast stuff") may become six or sixteen or sixty separate address blocks, but IPv6 blocks were deliberately assigned so as to reduce fragmentation, chances are "All the East Coast stuff" is one or two blocks.

You can’t buy smaller routers just because you deploy IPv6, so I have no idea what cost saving there are to be had here.

> As to speed, Facebook reports IPv6 is about 10% faster for them.

I fail to see how this is universally applicable to all ISPs.

> They did exactly what I described, they're v6-only internally and have translation at the edge for "legacy" IPv4 clients.

Having an IPv6 core is not the same thing as being IPv6-only.

Speaking of IPv6-only, you have yet to name even a single ISP that is even considering going IPv6-only. Cat got your tongue?
> this should be a huge red flag to anyone with any sense of history.

It's a small red flag and not at all concerning as a macro risk. In the scale of the US economy and US household finances (including disposable income vs debt service payments), Carvana & pals could hardly be more meaningless. Overall the subprime car loan industry is a modest rounding error sized problem (ie it can't cause even a small fraction of the damage the housing implosion did, that you're referring to re sense of history). For the auto industry subprime is around 7% of new vehicles and a quarter of used vehicles (both figures have decreased over the past year as the employment picture has improved). In a very bad outcome scenario, only a minority share of those subprime loans will go bad. The subprime sector risk is, realistically, measured in the tens of billions of dollars, not trillions (as the housing market risk was). Tens of billions of dollars is as close to meaningless as non-trivial things get against $137 trillion in US household assets and the US income figures.

People get overly paranoid up as a matter of routine, looking for the next financial crisis. Every year there are typically a few items that the financial media will run headlines with in terms of clickbait doom, blaring about how x y z is the next impending financial crisis doom-cause agent. Subprime auto loans are not a big threat to the US economy.

If you want to be worried about something, there are only two primary financial categories domestically to pay serious attention to: housing and the stock market. Nothing else much matters by comparison, those are the two giants, by a very dramatic margin (subprime auto loans, student loans and credit card debt are each trivial compared to housing & stocks, in terms of risk to the US economy).

A friend from another country asked me why we were in Afghanistan in the first place and I mindlessly said something about securing oil.

And he pointed out that we weren't in Afghanistan for oil. And then I realized I had no idea why we were ever over there.

20 years of desperate fighting for "regional stability" or the far more ridiculous "defending democracy"?

Maybe "regional stability in order to secure oil".

Kinda of embarrassing that as someone who considers themselves to stay fairly in the loop in international affairs I couldn't write the first paragraph on why we were in Afghanistan for 20 years.

Somehow the true answer seems to me like: some politicians said some stuff after 9/11 and then it just stumbled on for two more decades based on momentum and not wanting to lose.
A lot of this is missing the point. Norton's dome shows that the mathematical formalism of Newtonian Mechanics admits non-deterministic solutions. That's all. It's only an approximation in the real world after all, so non-physical solutions aren't of real interest in that context, but they are in a mathematical one.

The fact that the author quibbles about units, when they've failed to notice the Norton took `g=1`, makes it seem as if they're not familiar with conventions in mathematical physics. The addition of a constant `k` adds no value other than converting between units, which aren't of interest here other than as a bookkeeping mechanism, because we're not dealing with any numerical quantities.
I didn't know about this experimental CSS function `color-mix`. Can't wait until it gets widely implemented.

For the past several years the Firefox management has made many decisions that show disdain for their users. Disabling addons on the Android Firefox is based on a whimsical decision from the product management, not on the technical limits, as Firefox Nightly shows.

Notably, those changes cannot be adjusted with the options. Even if they care about the simplicity of the settings panel more than the experience of the power users, adding a setting to about:config would be the right choice.

I still use Firefox on the daily basis because I wouldn't want the pages I develop work only on Chromium. [putting on a conspiracy theorist hat] However, the biggest payer of Mozilla is not users, but Google. It is in their best interest to keep Firefox in a state that has a small share of the market, and yet does not let the regulators claim that Google holds a monopoly on browsing. The decline of FF usability is sad but not surprising.

Ghost wars, and it's followup Directorate S, are excellent books on the history of US involvement in afghanistan. It has been an enourmous clusterfuck but not for most of the reasons outlined in the comments here. The second afghan involvement post 9/11 was a very poorly run proxy war with pakistan (or perhaps the pakistani intelligence service ISI) and not really all that much to do with afghanistan itself.
Dude needs an editor. If mainstream news is bullshit, at least it's readable bullshit.
After you get past the initial pain, it's native Java & Swift. Implementing something twice seems like a bad idea, but after fiddling with "cross-platform wannabe" solutions I can safely say that native is the way to go. I can do it for you if it's as easy as you make it feel, if you want to.
I don't get it. People in the market for used cars are presumably price sensitive - at least more so than new car buyers - who are already quite price sensitive.

Who are the used car buyers that are paying 20% more and getting bad financing terms? Are they selling a lot of cars to subprime buyers?

Between Firefox's Proton UI update and Safari in Monterey Beta 2, I'm genuinely baffled.

If modern UI theory is to make it as simple as possible and no simpler, then it seems we're straddling the line where important information (e.g. which tab is which) is now being lost.
I understand why (historically), but it is still one of those things that cannot be unseen once you see them - there are no women in those paintings/photos. It really boggles the mind of a modern human.

Best to avoid dealerships altogether. They all have their markups. Have cash in hand and shop private sellers on local CL or Facebook.

An exception might be if you live in a rust belt area where they salt the roads in the winter. Then you might need to go to a dealer who sources southern cars.
Like illegal drugs and many other behaviors, it is widespread that secrets walk out the door with employees and also that employees, vendors, consultants and other people will "talk" and reveal secrets to others.

I had a business partner that was really great at getting this kind of information and we knew what kind of database a three-letter agency was shopping for, what a notoriously secretive hedge fund was doing for business continuity, etc. Had we sold the information we might have had a great business.

It was rejected on multiple points, one of them being that nobody reasonably would think a soft drink company was going to give them a fighter jet.

I'm inclined to be more protective about false advertising and all... but not the the point of absurdity where we demand they provide someone a fighter jet... or $33m for $700,000 as compensation.

Whatever we might feel about advertising, that result would be absurd and solve nothing.

> It’s not as if there is some kind of breakthrough here

The [potential] breakthrough is in accessibility. Like GP said, this is a non-cleanroom process. Package it up into something reproducible and sell the entire 10um node for 6 figures and you'll have a few takers (unis, high networth enthusiasts). Get it down to 5 figures and you can break into some of the hobbyist market. Iterate/improve the node from there.

The path from here to unicorn startup is not really easy to imagine, but getting from here to cottage industry has some sliver of a chance if Sam wanted to go that route.

Ah, so you're @0xca0a. Sorry, I didn't recognize you at first. The examples and documentation I'm quoting at you are your own; my mistake.

That said, I don't know why you entered into the conversation by asserting properties about a different test than the one that started the conversation. I recognize that TextGeometry is slow and CPU-heavy, and that the deferred work approach has some value in helping to manage that, but the cube test we started the discussion with had no artificial delay as far as I can tell, nor do I see it really doing any CPU-heavy work. For cases without any obvious CPU-heavy work, where does the 700ms overhead come from?

> and it stupidly and naively lets react churn through the whole graph 60fps, something you would under no circumstance do

Iterating over 2,000 objects is something we do all the time in game engines (where I'm from and where I work). I've written particle systems that handle far more than that; I just checked the particle system for a game I'm working on, and the simulation time maxes out at <1ms, and I haven't even SIMD'd it, though it is somewhat SoA'd. React's inability to handle a low workload like 2,000 items is why I believe React is a poor fit for serious 3D applications.

And yes, I would argue against React 18 Concurrency's approach as a general design. Deferring work between frames is an incredibly valuable tool, but I don't believe it's something that validly can be done globally, or that it's a solid basis for a 3D framework. It trades low latency for high throughput, and I believe that's a tradeoff that should be made by the application author.

Multiplayer games and VR often require very careful controlled latency, and having unpredictable latency can make your game unplayable, or make someone incredibly motion sick.

We're clearly going in circles on this point; I'll shut up at this point because clearly we're at an impasse, and you're (completely validly) unwilling to discuss the cubes example that started things, which I would prefer to cross-examine in more detail. My approach to performance analysis is to profile things, understand bottlenecks, and come up with targeted fixes before going with more global approaches with large tradeoffs, so I'd be personally be more interested in knowing where the time is spent.

Finally, and this is my experience speaking as a game engine engineer, I think you should think more about how much work you expect to be able to do in one frame, and set your sights there. You can easily update 2,000 objects with minimal overhead.

I sold an S5 to Carvana, got $1-2k over trade in offers, it had a broken windshield and bad brakes and there were zero issues with the process. They showed up, had to bring a specific person b/c it was manual lol, and wrote me the check right there. It was as painless a process as I've ever had with a vehicle transaction.
Yep, they do value add on and make it "zero" fees and then want you to use their financing option so they can sell your financing among others in a contract very similar to a CDO that has an expected depreciation curve (with high APR)
Some of the terminology used in the arcade world is a bit confusing, so just to clarify:

'JAMMA' is the original arcade standard developed in the 1980s. It specified a standardized edge connector pinout to interface an arcade PCB with the rest of the arcade cabinet (i.e the power, video, sound, and controls).

'JAMMA 2' aka 'JAMMA Video Standard' aka 'JVS' was/is a successor standard that made things a bit easier by using separate connectors for video, I/O, etc. instead of putting everything on one giant edge connector. That standard is what this article is about.

From a personal point of view, I completely disagree here. The one-person thing is just not doable, no matter how hard you believe/try. I've attempted this countless times and my motivation and dedication never cut it, no matter how hard I push. It's an inhumane amount of work for a single person to handle. And there is one specific moment that I've been able to pin-point every single time. I end up making a ton of progress: bootstrapping a development environment, databases, frameworks, containers, yada, yada, yada, I end up building a tons of things and just as I feel extremely happy and motivated, I take a step back and suddenly I see how many small details I need to fix up, as well as how much stuff there is still to be done and how much more would pop up to fix, polish and clear up and even a small project ends up feeling like infinity and depression and frustration kicks in. In my experience having at least one other person is at least a good frustration and prevention mechanism. That said, finding someone who's on board is equally hard.
Seems like a reasonable solution there. Nice to see it resolved to everyone's satisfaction.
Her giving seems a bit reactionary, just throwing money at whatever the issue of the month is. With her kind of wealth she could reshape a few areas entirely for the better, rather than just jumping in and throwing 100s of millions at what is trending. It almost feels like the way a regular wealthy person would donate, but her contributions are 10,000X so they should probably be handled differently. Either way it is way better than sitting on the 60b.

I read that article and some other things on sites as defining optimism as NOT avoiding problems. That one site in particular says the goal is to get more people thinking about the possibilities while specifically acknowledging there are problems. My way of thinking is optimism is about getting a deep understanding of the issues, why they exist, and how humanity has shown time and again we can innovate and come together to solve them. Human progress can accelerate if we come together to do so. It’s good debate, and i like that warp and others like them appears to be presenting that side of things. It’s an interesting paring with Kevin Kelly, hope to support it more.
