I’ve tried vs code notebooks. For me, they don’t run as fast as jupyter.

That said the convert jupyter NB to Python in VS saves a lot of time.
Not sure how much it might help you, but I'm able to print from mine by "sharing" a page to an app for my printer from firefox mobile, but I'd definitely like a proper printing option instead.
"Technical skills are no doubt in very high demand right now. If an experienced engineer can make over $500K/yr plus benefits working 40 hours a week at a large company, there should be an opportunity to spend a few extra hours on a side gig to increase that number by a few percent."

First off, I think that that's extremely rare at that level with those hours.

Second, why would one want to work for a couple extra percent? If the comp is second to some passion, then sure.
> About the only significant feature in my mind that Fenix has which Chrome for Android does not is WebExtension support, and even though this is indeed a very significant feature, for a user who doesn't particularly care about privacy it is practically the only feature that makes Fenix worthy of consideration over Chrome.

100% on the money. Note the caveat that a number of the key, vital, privacy preserving extensions are available on Firefox for Android, because otherwise, even users who do care about privacy would be shit-out-of-luck.

I'm glad to hear that Nightly is in a better spot though[1]! This makes me hope that eventually, improvements are coming. But right now it seems like a number of features seem to get disabled before release, such as about:config.

I hope some-day Chrome reconsiders this ancient old policy of providing zero user-agency on the web. Extensions are the system by which users can opt to modify their web experience, and not having extensions available on the most restricted, most constrained, most in-need-of-help modality is cruel. A decade ago there might have been sufficient cause to believe the "mobile devices aren't fast enough," but today it just feels like Google doesn't want to allow users to do good things for themselves.

Once I can’t tell the difference in taste (and Impossible is already there for utility hamburgers and other low/mid-grade ground beef uses) and price (Impossible is terribly uncompetitive here), I’ll happily switch.

I’m not sure that’s a majority view, but I think it’s going to be a > 25% view. If it’s 25% cheaper, it’ll be a 50% view.
>Instead, I’m interested in how these “treatments” with no strong evidence are getting weaponized by motivated agents (like the anti-vax crowd) to sow distrust both in scientific organizations (the CDC, and the FDA, Pfizer, Moderna, et al), and in the use of tools with proven effectiveness, like the vaccines themselves.

In this polarized environment CDC/FDA/WHO/AMA are political organizations first and authoritative ones second. The conflict of interest here is legitimate and the loss of their authority with the public is in great part their own doing.
> yet I can do anything and everything with high values of cash and credit from a Linux machine running any web browser I wish, as root.

Don't give them any ideas. They'll just ban Linux browsers now.
No blockers. We're simply giving folks time to try things out and report issues. No show stoppers at the moment so I imagine final release won't be far off!
- 3D support is using Mesa, so full GL accelleration on supported hardware (sorry nVidia, your Open-Source game sucks)

- Arm translation is on the radar, and we have solutions in the works. Just nothing ready for the masses yet.

- No Google Play Services as of yet. Some of our builds do use MicroG, Aurora Store, and other FOSS apps & open-source GMS options.

- It uses LXC, so yes, you can mount whatever is needed, we just don't have an exemplary (easy) way to do it yet.

- We are using hardware passthroughs via binder, so eventually Waydroid (Android side) will be able to access the system details available to it. Same with sensor inputs.

- We would all love to get paid, doing what we enjoy. But for this project, we are not even collecting donations yet. Money isn't what is driving this project. That's not saying that collecting donations and sponsorships aren't on our radar, just that it's not a primary focus. Open-Innovation is.
If you still have the TP-Link hardware they are well supported by OpenWRT (depending on model).

I’ve had very good experiences with TP-Link hardware reflashed with OpenWRT.
There are a couple of vendors (including me[0]) that offer a circuit board that splits the Pi's USB-C port into separate data and power ports with reverse current protection.

There are cables that do the same thing, but they don't provide reverse current protection. If there's a voltage difference between the USB port on your target system and the PSU feeding your Raspberry Pi, you can mess up the system's USB port or damage your Pi.[1]

Bitwarden. Open source, independently auditable password manager. For something this important, it should be no other way.
This is a great idea I've never encountered before. And it could be very low-tech: just breed selectively.

I suspect the flaw is that substantial brain functioning is hard or impossible to get rid of without damaging the animal's meat output. For one thing, good hygiene has got to be cognitively demanding, especially given the tight quarters we raise farm animals in. Poor coordination could lead to broken bones and infections. Stupider animals might even be more prone to fighting, which would be no good at all.
No- large swathes of land are being cleared because it's one of the few resources available to locals to climb out of poverty.

I worked for a gentleman[0] who, while not a programmer by trade[1], he was an old Unix guy and a Linux early-adopter. All of that to say that when he'd made a recommendation for me to explore this or that technology, I generally listened. He pointed me at Ruby on Rails.

I admit I came into researching Rails a little reluctantly and pretty early on, as well. That probably biased my opinion of things a lot more than it should have but a few tutorials later, and after fooling around with a toy project over the weekend I thought: "Neat. But either it's daaamn slow, or I'm doing something horribly wrong." I don't remember what I loved/liked but I remember being annoyed at odd laginess[2]. The more I investigated within the community, the more I felt like I was corresponding to "a bunch of kids". And I don't mean "kids" as in insulting-term-used-for-early-20-something-know-it-alls[3], but ... like 12-year-old boys trying to be popular, and failing -- a bit immature with unnecessary drama. I ended up not exploring much beyond that weekend. It's not that I found the community to be entirely unwelcoming; really seemed like it was. It just wasn't a group I was positive I wanted to be a part of.

Of course, not too long after that, I recall discovering the term "Brogrammer" loosely tied to Ruby on Rails and I thought, "Yep! That's what I meant by 'kids'". I remember reading a rage-quit post from someone that hit the front page of HN[4] a little while later, and a few other things here and there. It seemed at a certain point, the things written about Rails that found my eyes were more frequently some form of drama/nonsense than anything telling me why I needed to look more closely at Ruby on Rails.

Why does per capita matters? The resources of the Earth are limited, and don't rise with the population. Focusing on the per capita means that we shouldn't take into account overpopulation because they don't consume much, for now. That doesn't sound right.

> Saving the planet from climate change is the latest rally cry for people wanting to identify as do-gooders

What about the people that, you know, just want the planet to be saved?

You realize not everyone is a sociopath concerned solely about their appearance and some people truly just want the future to not be terrible?
> It's a mush of enzyme-treated mixed plant refuse.

Ideally. The cheaper the better, if it's healthy and palatable.
I agree but that risks bloating Sway. There are many options for a start menu (dmenu for example) and a settings panel is not a possibility since the configuration is too sophisticated to be simplified in an interface. If you do really need a settings menu, you can install the Gnome one and it works for the most part.
My concern is that bad tweet message (which, in my opinion, is not a bad faith read) is not poisoned because the tweet author also stirs negativity from (what I assume from your comment) the gamergate crowd.

Yeah, the problem isn't that Google offers a free no-support email option. That's a legit market segment.

The problem is that because so many people misuse that option they deny the economies of scale that would support flourishing paid email providers. And a lot of people think they are OK with the no support plan but they really aren't, and this turns out to be the case when a bot shuts them down. Unfortunately the paid privacy focus email providers suck right now, both at spam filtering (looking at you, protonmail) and the overall UX. Gmail is just much better.

Why? If China wants to emit more greenhouse gases per capita, they could reduce their population and maintain the same emissions on the country level. What you're proposing is biaised in favor of countries with large populations.
That has because the exams were national university entrance exams and the new stronger anti-cheating measures were only being applied in one city.

The parents in that city felt that widespread cheating was normal everywhere else essentially turning admissions into a lottery with a big disadvantage to anyone who did not cheat.
Saying that you're happier with a certain product than the competition is not fanboy behavior and should not be taken to mean a product is without fault, particularly when it relates to the use of other people. It is also less destructive behavior than a laundry list of faults with little acknowledgement of benefits, particularly when those faults will only be encountered by a fraction of the user base.

As for my experiences with Fenix, aside from a rocky ride when it was first introduced, it has been positive. This is coming from a person who prefers incremental change and frowns upon massive changes.
I have an even more infuriating issue with the urlbar suggestions.

About 50% of the time I type something in, it will find an url suggestion for the first letter or so but keep that suggestion at the end as I keep typing, unless I press backspace before enter. e.g. "hot tubs for salettps://news.ycombinator.com"

Is this woman involved in gamergate? I genuinely don't know anything about the tweet author or any of the context which is why I've asked for more info
I'll push back a little bit on this.

To preface, I have also been at least reasonably happy with Fenix on Android, although I am frustrated that the add-ons are still limited. I don't feel like I have a lot of friction, the UI works well enough for what I need it to do, and I have pretty much no desire to switch to another browser. And I regularly get annoyed at the level of scrutiny and amount of bad-natured criticism that Mozilla gets. I think it's part human nature, part meme, but I see people throw complaints at Firefox with a level of vigor that they can't seem to muster for browsers that are clearly far, far worse. And I've seen those same people ignore some of the legitimately fantastic stuff that Mozilla has been doing, some of it inside of Firefox.

All that being said, I didn't get any of those bad feelings from this article. The criticisms seemed fair, and it felt to me that the author was speaking out of genuine concern and desire for Fenix to be better. I didn't feel like the author was going out of their way to complain.

More importantly, as someone who is generally a lot more bullish on Mozilla and Firefox than other people on HN, and as someone who honestly still trusts Mozilla quite a bit, the complaints about closed designs and lack of community involvement in some parts of the browser ring true to me and I empathize. I trust Mozilla a lot, but I do really wish that they didn't make these kinds of design decisions that came so far out of left field with so little community input. They could do better here, and it is a worrying trend.

It is weird for a browser to have this many tab switcher redesigns, and to have so many of them received so negatively.

I do recommend people use Firefox on Android. I think the average experience is going to be better than the author describes, particularly if users aren't on nightly. And having support for Ublock Origin is a killer feature, and not just for privacy. The mobile web is borderline unusable for me without a good adblocker.

But... a lot of the criticism here is valid, and I hope that people at Mozilla look at it, and in the best case scenario, I hope maybe this kind of criticism leads to more open, thoughtful design where community input and involvement happens earlier in the design process.
Because they wanted to make something.
I use VS Code notebooks a lot, I like the workflow so much that I made an extension for Go called gobook using the API. I bind everything notebook related to shift+alt, so shift+alt+enter to run cell, shift+alt+r to run all etc. I'm learning Rust and working on a VS Code notebook for it now.

In principle, your Twitter client could remember the state locally, let you keep working, and just keep trying to sync.

In practice... most apps are really bad at working offline, so just handling the disconnection and reconnection in a robust and consistent way is already much better than average!
Or just use Zoho. It's free to link your own domain ($1/mo if you want IMAP access) and they have actual support. I have contacted them in the past about a bug with their DKIM implementation (or really, the UI) and they sorted it out manually on the spot.
If you want digital out like SPDIF--as opposed to a DAC (i.e., digital-to-analog converter)--try the HifiBerry Digi line, any of which should do the job just fine. Prices start at ~$25.
Carbon taxes are a good first step. I would prefer a “qualia tax” where suffering inflicted to animals is quantified using Dennettian heterophenomenology and category theory.

From there we can assign a mathematical value to suffering imposed and calculate an appropriate taxation level.

I once had a friend propose this over dinner when I was still living in LA. He himself was in touch with many of Dennet’s students.
I’ve written an overview of the Jupyter Notebooks ecosystem with overviews on the different apps, IDEs and cloud services around notebooks including: JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebook, PyCharm, JetBrains DataSpell, VS Code, cloud services like free Binder, Google Colab, JetBrains Datalore, Amazon SageMaker as well GitHub’s built-in support of rendering notebooks as they do with markdown documents.

> As best I can tell, every release since 7 has primarily focused on renaming and adding indirection to the ways you get to the same old control panels.

I thought this was the UI museum feature where you can time travel back to Windows NT4 one layer of indirection at a time.
I’ve been using JupyterLab for the past couple years and tried VS Code two or three months ago and it was not a smooth experience. I regularly use VS Code for my non data science coding, but VS Code notebooks were much slower than JupyterLab and they would often hang, requiring me to kill the kernel and VS Code. Switched back to JupyterLab and had zero problems.
The government can and does whatever they want with "your money" just like Amazon and Walmart do whatever they want with "your money." You have no say in it. The government is different in that it is a perpetual entity unlike the latter which theoretically is supposed to endure indefinitely. The fact that it's involuntarily funded is irrelevant. You have no say in what they do with your money unless you can somehow convince a mob to protest long and hard enough to get them to back down.
Historically I definitely do think that there were a lot of engineers who upskilled by sticking their nose into random discussions, peering over shoulders, pestering senior devs at lunch, and other social activities.

I am very concerned that the socialization of computing, the wide skills that go into IT beyond simply whatever the ticket in front of you is, are going to be- well not lost, but- much harder to develop & find. This reduces the fun, interesting, social side of IT, & emphasized the dry, mechanistic, industrialized aspects of computing.
If there was a rpi hat that had multiple connections I would probably use it, a $300 avocent 24 port KVM w/ html5 interface is much more cost effective than 24 pikvms, etc.
Does Vivaldi support add-ons/extensions on android? I don't see it mentioned on the landing page.
Granted, ad-block is the primary one and included by default in Vivaldi, but I still like there being a possibility for extensibility even if what's supported on Firefox for Android is limited.
> If you're actually investing in maintaining something that's running on a deprecated platform that's decade over EOL and nobody wants to touch with a 10 foot pole - that sounds like a crap project by definition.

The platform it runs on is Windows 10, which is not deprecated. Microsoft provides an 'It Just Works' guarantee on Windows 10 for VB6 applications. It does not matter whether someone wants to maintain code. The company pays people to do it. Just like how there are many people who do not want to work on proprietary software but do it anyway because their employer pays them to do it.

> Anything that's sufficiently funded to be actively developed would have figured out a migration plan by now, the only scenarios where it wouldn't sound like terrible projects to work on.

Actively developed means that bugs are fixed and features are added as needed by the business. It does not mean jumping on the latest tech trends when there is no business justification. And I am pretty sure that the users are happy that they can use a fast, responsive application instead of a lumbering, bloated Electron app.

> No it's not when the language is deprecated by the owners for over 12 years at this point. It's like having software that only works on windows xp and maintaining it because you can still boot a VM to run it. Good luck working on that POS.

That is a strawman argument because the VB6 IDE and programs compiled with it run on Windows 10 natively, without a VM. And running VB6 programs on Windows 10 is officially supported.
not exactly - cattle farming is very very heavily subsidized. The true price is definitely not baked in
Agreed. I alleviated this in my last zig project by just declaring a type alias, however. Strings could use some nice support from the stdlib once it gets fleshed out.
> The US has 40 MRI machines per million. The UK has 6.

Funny story - these days most DI (diagnostic imaging) machines (CT, fMRI, PET) are owned by doctors or consortiums of doctors.

They are money printing machines.

Doctors, and manufacturers know this. Manufacturers will find you doctors you can partner up with to buy DI assets, and get set up. You can pay off a CT machine in a couple of months, even high end fMRI in under a year. The manufacturer will finance. They'll even help you write CON applications (Certificate of Need, a nice little thing that hospitals lobbied for to reduce competition - if a new hospital wants to open up in an area it has to demonstrate that the existing community healthcare needs are being underserved. And the existing hospital gets input into the process). A nice little imaging production line.

Interestingly, though perhaps unsurprisingly, doctors who own an interest in imaging equipment tend to refer their patients to it at a rate approaching 2 standard deviations higher (comparing specialties like-for-like).
The PinePhone processor and GPU are pathetic. It's not the phone people mean when they say phones are comparable in power to laptops.
Different strokes for different folks. Personally, I've tried all the major browsers on Android, Windows, and Linux, and I've always come back to Firefox, even if there are minor caveats.

If Firefox on Android is a "mess", what does that make Microsoft Edge? :- )
Based at on the comments it looks like it is Jupyter Lab just packaged in an electron app.

I am unsure of what problem this is trying to solve as common use is to use Jupyter Lab remotely and then tunnel in to run excitements on a large cloud instance.
Maybe it's different in your country, but in the USA, meat production is heavily subsidized by the federal government, and the environmental externalities (carbon and otherwise) generated are not exactly priced in, either.
It's a pain in the arse to get AdSense support too!
Like Facebook and content moderation, Google is incapable of support. Look at the terms: at the very least, they'll be opening themselves up to people calling in with every KilledByGoogle complaint and lament. My impression from watching Google since they launched is that they absolutely do not want to do anything even close to that. Ever, as in the dictionary definition of 'anathema.'

Like Facebook and content moderation, it's a problem entirely of their own making. Zero sympathy, caveat emptor.
