I run IAP. It's TCP-over-HTTPS but it works remarkably well, connects to all kinds of things, and for users it really is just "login with google, proceed as normal."

I use a JWT proxy + ghostunnel within GKE with a VIP so it's not quite their reference setup but it's extremely "just works" outside GKE being weird and eating its own routes.

BTW, side-note but try out ghostunnel over stunnel! I've really enjoyed using it and it's been fantastic to debug and work with.
I suspect it's because the international market for print manga (the primary cash cow) is rather anemic, particularly compared to anime.

Publishers see the loss as minimal and creators see piracy as free advertising to drum up enthusiasm for anime adaptations, which actually do drum up decent profits internationally (the committee keeps the streaming licensing fees, not the animation studio).

I would not take this benchmark to draw general conclusions.

The spinning disk result is only 10x slower than RAM. But a spinning disk's throughput is 100-1000x less than current RAM, and for latency it's even worse.

Similarly, the other factors in the benchmark graph are way off their hardware factors.

This benchmark is measuring how one specific program (the Haskell Compiler compiling ShellCheck) scales with faster memory, and the answer is "not very well".
Mozilla funds a lot more than just Firefox. I consider it an activist organisation that happens to also build a browser, because that seems to be what they're focusing on themselves.

For example Mozilla Foundation has a special program for projects in countries with low internet penetration[1]. They also sponsor education and culture in some poorer countries like Brazil and Kenya [2].

On a technical front, Mozilla also funds some open projects that intend to be an alternative to Google's services, like their open voice recognition program or their open location service (which helps devices resolve your location based on cell towers, like Google and other companies (Apple?) do).

Mozilla has chosen not to allow the public to directly fund development of Firefox, instead leveraging the foundation to fund both their activism and browser development from the same pool of money. Perhaps they wouldn't be able to maintain their activism without the income from the donations intended for Firefox, or maybe they only do this to simplify their accounting; I'm not that familiar with their plans or finances.

According to this article [3] software development made up about 61% of the Foundation's expenses, but this information can probably be considered outdated because since a large part of the Rust/Servo team have been fired.

> Who knows if it was only due to genes? And more importantly, there isn't a gene that's about running faster

Do you interpret “genetic talent” as “there is a single gene that explains everything about this skill”? I don’t.

Would you say it’s unreasonable to say cheetahs are faster than turtles due to genetics unless you can pinpoint the one gene that causes the running speed difference?

> Some people might be more prone to muscle recovery/injury resistance. Another one has a better muscle fiber mix. Another one has different muscle attachment positions. And another one feels less pain.

All genetic, so you’re agreeing with me then?

You really need to interrogate "merit" and "objective". Nominally objective standards have long been used to advance racial discrimination in the US. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_test

You should also look up the extensive critiques of meritocracy as a concept. There's a lot of literature there.

Further, I know of no major tech company who uses a nominally "objective coding test" as the only criterion for hiring. And they shouldn't, because being good at taking coding tests is not the job and not what we should be hiring for.
While not the issue you're running into, I think VP9 is required for anything over 1080P on Youtube. I used to have to run h264ify[0] because of certain GPUs not supporting it, and it putting it all on my (also aging) CPU.

The only thing you can really do is try enhanced-h264ify[1] and play around with the codecs to see if one works better for you with Firefox.

I also have an Intel 11th gen CPU, but desktop form of 11900K, so I may play around with this in Firefox to see if I can duplicate your results but I also have a Geforce 1060FE. I leave Intel Driver Support Assistant[2] installed on all of my machines. There is a conflict recently between it and the driver version that MS is pushing out over Windows Update, so I have hidden that driver for a couple months now. But you may want to at least give that driver a try as well and see if it changes anything.

I've consistently used Firefox since 2002, never having moved to Chrome, but made the switch to Microsoft Edge last month. There's a few reasons for that, which I won't bore you with here. But if you do decide to make the leap, I can say as a very longtime and formerly extremely dedicated Firefox advocate, I don't regret it.

Hopefully something here helps you, if not, Edge is Chromium Done Right.

UI vs. UX: How They’re Different and How They Work Together
I had a very different experience. I implemented Common Lisp using LLVM-IR as the backend (https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp.git).

1. I started with a primitive lisp interpreter written in C++ and worked hard on exposing C++ functions/classes to my lisp using C++ template programming. LLVM is a C++ library, the C bindings are always behind the C++ API. So exposing the C++ API directly gave me access to the latest, and greatest API. That means you need to keep up with LLVM - but clang helps a lot because API changes appear as clang C++ compile time errors. I've been "chasing the LLVM dragon" (cough - keeping up with the LLVM API) from version 3.something to the upcoming 13.

2. I wrote a Common Lisp compiler in my primitive lisp that converted Common Lisp straight into LLVM-IR. I didn't want to develop my own language - who's got time for that? So I just picked a powerful one (Common Lisp) with macros, classes, generic functions, existing libraries, a community etc.

3. I used alloca/stack allocated variables everywhere and let mem2reg optimize what it could to registers. I exposed and used the llvm::IRBuilder class that makes generating IR a lot easier.

4. Then I picked an experimental, developing compiler "Cleavir" written by Robert Strandh and bootstrap that with my Common Lisp compiler. It's like that movie "Inception" - but it makes sense :-).

Now we have a Common Lisp programming environment that interoperates with C++ at a very deep level. Common Lisp stack frames intermingle perfectly with C++ stack frames and we can use all the C/C development, debugging and profiling tools.

This Common Lisp programming environment supports "Cando" a computational chemistry programming environment for developing advanced therapeutics and diagnostic molecules.

To be fair, we deliberately used very obscure hardware "features" which we knew were not implemented by any emulators and probably not used by any games to build these protections :-)

I'd have to dig up the old code but I'm fairly sure some of them rely on an operating system (Nintendo IOS, unrelated to both Cisco's IOS and Apple's iOS) running on the co-processor (nicknamed "Starlet"). Dolphin doesn't emulate that part at all because IOS exposes a high-level interface that can just be emulated instead. Works amazingly well for games, but will probably trip our protections.

I had to take large CSV files like {question, right_ans, wrong_ans1, wrong_ans2, wrong_ans3} and covert them into SQL insert files. Few caveats - some could be duplicates, some characters were not allowed, and some had formatting issues. The first issue was avoided by upserting, but the other two I used Awk and Sed for and put together a fairly robust script far quicker than if I reached for Python. I probably would have reached for Python if I realised how many edge cases there were but I didn't know that at the start so the script just sort of grew as I went along, but now they're my go-to tools for similar tasks.

Not a word about solar (or wind) in your rant. Solar is dirt cheap, and being built at a quickly accelerating rate.

You'll say "but storage". However, storage is getting cheaper even faster than solar/wind production is, and storage is not necessary for its use in food production.
Everyone always seems happy to carve out their own exceptions to freedom of expression. Freedom, except for racism. Freedom, except for transgenderism. Freedom, except for porn. Freedom, except for violence. Freedom, except for political dissent or mis-gendering or the promotion or criticism of a religion.

As someone who falls near the middle on most issues I probably detest a larger percentage of speakers than anyone who's solidly on the Left or the Right, but I have no issue understanding that my freedom depends on their freedom. If the people I despise are not free to speak then neither am I.

>There is something self-defeating about large tech companies.

It's all large companies. They think they are too big and entrenched to fail.

I've worked for 2 large non-tech companies where managers and leaders loved to say "We are X. We have the resources to do anything. If we apply ourselves, we are unstoppable." One of those companies tried to enter a new market and failed miserably because they kept trying to tell customers what they wanted instead of listening to their customers. The other company is a classic example of what people talk about when they make fun of "too big to fail" companies.

I think I'm missing something here.

From what I'm seeing, the author skipped reading the documented LLVM source code in favor reading of a completely undocumented Go port (reimplementation?) of one part of LLVM?

They also seemed to have misunderstood what the level of abstraction LLVM's IR provides.

Did they miss the forest for the trees? I'd like to think I'm wrong. :/
What's important for you about using Protonmail then?
This was possible before WebExtension. Unfortunately, it is not possible now. And your suggestion is a security nightmare as it could download malicious code that masked as video automatically.

My current setup is Video DownloadHelper + JDownloader 2. I have VDH set to copy the direct URL of the video only. And JD2 will detect the video url via clipboard monitoring and will prompt to download the video.

I believe it is still possible to do it in PaleMoon and WaterFox (fork of Firefox). They still uses XUL which it was before Mozilla decide to move to WebExtension. However a warning, they are not current with securities updates as Firefox are. I believe they are few version behind.

You can compare the price of college textbooks to the price of textbooks for professionals and you will see there is no difference. It's simply a niche market.

Personally, I prefer decade old textbooks, hardcover, beautifully typeset, clear diagrams and equations, black and white. Of course that doesn't exist for every field. But try to imagine the complaints you get from students for teaching from 'obsolete' textbooks that aren't even in four color print.
The point of the misinformation campaigns is to tap into that angst. You could create new issues if you want after you have a captive audience, but they start by looking for targets. How else would you do it?

Given that the goal of racism is to structure society, and given how well that succeeded in America, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask whether it's at play in pretty much any situation where we see racially biased outcomes.

But it is an excellent question why Google Maps is still terrible at Indian place names even though they have plenty of people internally who not only could help, but would be delighted to. The answer to that will be essentially sociological. If you think that answer in no way includes structural inequity despite it being pervasive in America since its founding, you will have to explain how you think Google managed to eliminate that in the Maps division and then managed to re-introduce some sort of structure that leaves a wealth of internal knowledge untapped.
I feel we pretty badly need to revisit laws surrounding social media platforms in the US. I'm not sure what the silver bullet is here, but the way platforms have almost limitless latitude to filter and shape discourse on their platform and also virtually zero liability for that same discourse seems like an obvious problem.

Unfortunately the average senator is over 60 and the companies that own these platforms have deep pockets.

There might be some truth to that for middle/upper class SWE types like those who frequent HN that were able to work remotely during the pandemic and just had their expenses lowered. The article is mostly about low wage workers though and the situation was largely the opposite for them. Almost everyone I know in that category had hours cut while businesses were shut down. Stimulus checks helped but didn't make up for most of the lost wages. I think a lot of them are basically reaching a point of hopelessness where they feel like there's no way for them to get ahead. If you don't see a light at the end of the tunnel, why put up with an awful job in the meantime? Those who didn't get their hours cut instead often had to do more work and have been run ragged (think delivery drivers, etc). My partner is a university lecturer and quit her job recently in large part because she's had to add online and blended courses, which involved much more prep time (basically doubling her workload) but with no increase in her pay. She didn't quit because we had a bit more savings.

It's been a year since i bought anything, so i solved it like that, the issue is not even the fine print anymore is that anything retains the right to change the terms and conditions without explanation or warning, in Italy we have a law that if a company change the terms and conditions it has to communicate it to you and has to give you 30 days in order to stop the contract without any penalty, it works for services and software but we don't have anything to protect people from hardware to force company to buy back devices in case of unilateral TOS changes, so it sucks a bit, on the other hand in the rest of EU there isn't even the protection for software
It's worth noting that while based on LBRY (The supposedly censorship resistant blockchain protocol) Odysee is a bit more opinionated front end with restrictions on things such as pornography.

By the standards of "alternative" video sites there's a pretty diverse set of content including mirrors from some well known YouTube creators (KhanAcademy, EEVBlog, GreatScott, Veritasium, HarwareUnboxed, Not Just Bikes, EposVox) who don't produce heavily political content (whereas many other alt tech video sites are just 99% political content going a single direction)

Given goals towards freedom of speech, some content won't align with you politically (and some might), but there's enough decent content that you can potentially use it as an alternative platform successfully.
