Firefox used to have all the extensions I need.

There were thousands before and what, a handful now? Firefox jumped the shark years ago, and I loved it from day 1.

I use FF/brave but no browsers make me happy any longer.

I'd pay good money to have FF back before the bean counters killed it.

Now I just see FF as something google pays to make sure barely works so they can point and say there are other browsers.

Are you actually spending that much on water though? Or water and sewer? Sewer is a lot (~$18 per CCF, iirc) more expensive. Farmers wouldn't have to pay that. Don't disagree about water in the SW being stupidly subsidized of course.

Isn't B2 from Backblaze already filling that need? I means more choice is always better for sure, but considering R2 goal seems really to be a CDN more than a backup space and it does feel like their money maker is in the CDN part, not the storage part... I feel like trusting them to store it long-term without using the CDN part is a little bit risky.
This is pretty cool, kudos to the author. However, I'm curious about why would you want to use a genetic algorithm (GA) for what is clearly a relatively straightforward computer vision (CV) problem. I would argue that the GA-based evolutionary solution is no simpler and, more importantly, will not only never outperform the CV-based one in terms of accuracy and speed, but will be orders of magnitude slower.
UAE and the Saudis are desperately diversifying their economies and the royal families of those countries are desperately extracting wealth from those nations because they know their current approaches are fundamentally economically unviable without very high margin oil - and the market value, margins, and quantity available of that oil long term is highly suspect.

Israel is also investing heavily in knowledge work and other high margin industries, as well as investing outside the country, in an attempt to get high margin, high value income to offset the dangerous economic risks they have, in part due to limited and expensive water - and which for very strong and fundamental religious reasons still gives a very, very strong incentive for them to stay and stay functional. Israel in particular has a history of wars and armed conflict around the Jordan River (November 1964 to May 1967 and others).

There is a saying in the West - Whiskey is for drinkin', water is for fightin' - and it is very apparent how true it is if you watch how things develop over time. Water is life in the desert.
This would be a large personal disaster and a full time personal project if the service provider decides to shut down the service. One would have to crawl through all services they have signed up for to update the email addresses.

Instead get a domain. Configure email as well as a catch all address. Example anything@yourdomain.com would reach name@yourdomain.com which you use as your primary email address.

And say, if I am signing up for Netflix, I would give the email as netflix@yourdomain.com. The email automatically reaches my single primary inbox with the catch-all behavior. And if I find a lot of spam to netflix@yourdomain.com, I know which service is leaking my email address and I can quickly block all emails sent to netflix@yourdomain.com

I'll be honest, I'll have a hard time taking the rest of your post seriously if you think that STB font rendering is anything close to good. It was maybe not too far from the 1997 state of the art but the world has moved on quite a bit since then, it's downright terrible if you are not going for "retro aesthetic" font rendering.

> The rising threat of spyware has prompted both Apple and Google to introduce indicators when a device’s microphone or camera are used. But some of the more elusive and more capable spyware — the spyware typically used by governments and nation states — can slip past the hardened defenses built into iOS and Android.

> That’s where Malloc says Antistalker comes in. Malloc’s co-founders Maria Terzi, Artemis Kontou and Liza Charalambous built the app around a machine learning (ML) model, which allows the app to detect and block device activity that could be construed as spyware recording or sending data.

That's a bit of a non sequitur, right?

If sophisticated malware is bypassing the OS-level "open mic" warning, that's presumably because it's bypassed the OS security model. As such, it should just as easily be able to avoid detection or simply disable any other detection mechanism, ML-driven or otherwise.

(If the issue is sophisticated malware that does not involve privilege escalation, e.g. by executing code inside the sandbox of a trusted app, I could see how an improved detection approach would help, but e.g. NSO and similar tend to use sandbox escapes + privesc, AFAIK.)

Prior to the group being formed, most discussion regarding MV3 occurred on the Chrome Extensions Google Group [0]. While feedback was accepted and open there, I hadn't seen the Chrome team acting on it to make changes. That's where most of my pessimism on the situation comes from.

I believe the Chrome team's main motivation is removing any functionality in MV3 which would have the possibility of reducing performance in normal browsing. I personally don't have much hope that they'll be backpedaling on any changes.

Hey, no problem!

I bill the site as more of a music streaming and storefront service. It's much more in-line with services like Bandcamp and Soundcloud, where users can upload their own music. The site leans more towards Bandcamp in that users can monetize their work, and the site takes a very small fee for transactions. I'm focusing more on community aspects, like remix and sample competitions, as well as live music sharing, to help differentiate it even more.
But I never meant to say my experience generalizes. I simply meant my statement to provide a counterpoint, that the points brought by the OP are not generally true.

I agree that the US "in general" (again simplified) seems to be worse regarding PhD pay, but AFAIK there are significant variations across fields even in the US (i.e. engineering PhD students get paid significantly better than most others for example).

You are right about your points, except that I think even with a vacine in hand you risk too much with an effective bioweapon, and you will look guilty as fuck if you somehow have a vacine in time (with sufficient production) and the rest of the world does not.

I do wonder (and I am not proposing anything here), that without the gatekeepers and with the industrialized spread of information on the internet, that we have reached a point where we can no longer have freedom of speech, simply because it makes it too easy to spread things. Are we forced to got into "information lockdown", and if so what is to stop it from becoming perpetual?
Kernel-code is secure code. That means you need to defend against a variety of speculative and/or side-channel attacks. This is because the superuser has the passwords (and other "secure" data) to the entire system in the superuser's memory space. Lesser users must never gain access to superuser memory. The kernel is the keys to your kingdom, since its responsible for protecting superuser (and other users).

As such: you must never allow a side-channel attack against other users through the kernel. This means that a significant amount of inefficiency must be introduced (ie: flushing TLB caches, among other things) whenever the kernel executes.

-----------

The current plan of action for most OSes is to therefore never have the kernel run. Linux's "futex" for example, are purely userspace in the "hot" case. (In the "cold" case, such as a task-switch becomes necessary... the kernel would run. But these cases are minimized as little as possible).

Similarly: I'm not sure what moving the garbage collector into the kernel would accomplish at all. It'd frankly be faster as a library, since you wouldn't need to do a secure task-switch.
Thanks, that makes sense to me.

Yes sewer is a lot but I was paying for sewer in both places. Maybe Phoenix wasn't bothering to put any money away for future repairs.
Just now in a place/form (underground or in the sky, and if underground usually contaminated) that makes it economically far less valuable - maybe even useless.

If the economics of water didn't matter, we'd be happy to build nuke power plants and run condensers all day to get it, but the reality is the marginal cost of water determines the feasibility of vast sections of economic activity, and that determines the fortunes (or not) of people and their leaders in concrete ways.

This is also true of other natural resources of course - oil, iron, coal, uranium, etc.
I don't like how the GC generally interact with externally-imposed memory limits, and that example with isEqualFromIndex() is a great example actually: sure, the loop allocates lot of garbage but since it's garbage, nothing prevents GC from kicking in when the memory usage is close to the allowed maximum and reclaiming it, right? Except apparently in this case GC thinks there is still plenty of memory, the OS thinks otherwise, and the program gets killed.

It probably makes sense for unmanaged code to die just on OOM: it (presumably) has "accurate" memory tracking so if it runs out of memory, then it actually can't progress forward. But for managed environments OOM just means that it's time to do a stop-the-world, process-wide GC in every allocated heap.

I've seen several cases in Erlang where a long-living process would do some heavy processing with binaries (they live in a separate binary heap devoted specifically to storing binaries), send the results and then go to sleep. It leads to the situation where there would be a large amount of unneeded binaries polluting the heap that can't be collected because they are still referenced by some process; if that process did a GC, those references would go away but it didn't because those references are quite small and don't make the process's heap large enough to trigger GC. And since in Erlang GC is done only per process, not globally, there is not much one can do besides judicious sprinkling of "erlang:garbage_collect()" and "hibernate" through the codebase.
You're talking about laryngospasm:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laryngospasm

Before laryngospasm occurs water must enter the larynx. At which point, if you 're a few meters under the surface of the sea, you're in the process of drowing.

Think of it this way: if it were safe to lose consciousness underwater, if we had a magickal reflex response that kept us safe- why would anyone ever have to drown?
Fred Wilson: The Token Race
> IIRC Golang used to do this but switched to copying, growable stacks because no matter how hard they tried they always ended up in scenarios where they were allocating and deallocating stacks in a hot loop.

They used to do segmented stacks. The bad overhead is not in allocation, but in switching between segments when stack pointer is oscillating around the boundary — but if you want to allocate really many stacks that could grow large, you don't have much choice: either this or tracking pointers that need to be updated on reallocation. Normal contiguously mapped stack, but with dynamic growing and shrinking of actually mapped pages, is an entirely different proposition.
It's all relative. Many people think what developers get paid is insane. After all, it's just typing things into a computer. And you don't even need 10 years of schooling to do it. Some didn't even finish high school.
That’s not what I’m saying. I am saying that tax incentives will always create artificial conditions such that it’ll be cheaper to bring the mountain to Muhammad than Muhammad to the mountain (or ship a pair of sneakers half way a cross the world than to make them locally, or to build a water using plant in the desert than by the ocean).

Globally centralized allocation of resources would solve this, but that’s not feasible for a whole number of reasons, so instead it’s every desert for themselves.
I'll never forget having to be a moderator for a somewhat popular forum back in the day and oh man did I learn how a few people can make your life hell.

I was also a mod for a popular gaming forum way back in the day. It was pretty miserable looking back.

Personally, for me, the extreme/shocking content wasn't the biggest issue. That stuff was quick and easy to deal with. If you saw that type of content you just immediately deleted it and permanently banned account. Quick and easy.

What was a lot harder were the toxic users that just stuck around. Not doing anything bad enough to necessarily warrant a permanent ban, but just a constant stream of shitty behavior. Especially sometimes when the most toxic users were also some of the most popular users.
Unemployed Bartender learns code, builds #1 cocktail app
Hi guys. Covid ate my job, so I learned to code and built my dream cocktail app called IMBIBLIA! (while living in a van outfitted with solar panels and mooching wifi from friends on the block lol. Super fun during lockdowns)

Imbiblia hit #1 on the App Store on iOS launch day which was pretty amazing, and now it's available for Android too. Whoot.

So the core aspect of Imbiblia is that I've turned as much of a cocktail recipe as possible into a visual format. The ratios of ingredients are instantly comprehensible this way, and glassware, garnish and methods are all icons. Our brains process shapes and color faster than we can read text that represents the same thing (think of the difference between seeing the yellow arches and reading the word "McDonald's" .. seeing the arches is way faster). The idea behind this came from years of bartending and the aggravation that crops up when you have to look up a recipe when you're super busy. Any recipe on Imbiblia is accessible within 3 clicks (including opening the app). It's built for the sort of rapid reference that a bartender working in a fast-paced environment needs, but of course anyone can enjoy and use this lil pup.

Got a nice little community of bartenders around the world who have contributed recipes to Imbiblia. I also built a super baller batch calculator which includes dilution for relevant recipes (if you ever need to make 938 Last Words, I totally got your back. It also calculates for shots) and instant conversion oz/ml/cl/cups/liters

All of the icons (200+) are hand drawn by yours truly and there's a ton of research detailing the story behind each cocktail. Imbiblia is also getting turned into a book because I wrote a 50 page research essay on what a 'Dash' was back in the late 19th century. Imbiblia has a lot of ancient recipes that haven't been seen in modern times which is a particular point of pride, if you don't mind me saying!

This project has been a dream come true, regardless of how it does. But I'd love to keep working on it!

I have a v2.0 in the works that will enable any bartender access to the cocktail builder which is a unique interface for creating recipes with exceptional speed using a massive (and growing) ingredient list.

> Normal users don't use text like this

I think that depends on the users. People copying and pasting bits of text that was in English or another common language— think documentation, code, news articles, tweets, etc.— with a different character set could be problematic.

How big a concern is lead in adults, and is there anything that can be done about long run exposure to lower levels?

I live in Montreal, and found out the city pipes in my area had lead. So I've been drinking it about ten years; have bottled water now.

My understanding is that chelation is good for acute exposure but wasn't sure it's recommended for lower levels. Now do I know if this is actually something to be concerned about, at low levels in an adult.

I had the city worker do a measure without flushing: 16 ug/L

(I drink bottled water now so there's no ongoing exposure. I also can't be sure my old places had it, so it could have just been for two years that I was exposed, but likely was for ten)
