GAE did this way back when. They give you a high level Python/Java API that works both locally and on prod, and you just push a newer version of your codebase with a command line tool - no need for containers, build steps, dealing with machines and operating systems, configurable databases, certificates, setting up traces or monitoring... No need to set anything up for that particular GAE, just create a new project, point a domain to it if you're feeling fancy, and off you go.

But in the end, the industry apparently prefers low-level AWS bullshit, where you have to manually manage networks, virtual machines, NAT gateways, firewall rules, load balancers, individually poke eight different subsystems just to get the basic thing running … It’s just like dealing with physical hardware, just 10x more expensive and exploiting the FOMO of ‘but what happens if we need to scale’.

The optimal number of loads of laundry is whatever rate keeps you in clean clothes within bounds with which you are comfortable.

There are people who are comfortable with the zero margin of wearing their last clean clothes while doing laundry. There are people who are unhappy when they get close to that. And there are people who want to be at the top border, where no more than one or two days' wear can be allowed to be unclean at a time.

The important thing for a marriage is that you are both happy with similar rates, or that you are both happy with your partner's rate even though it is not your own.
I'm pretty skeptical that Intel would ever have put a fab in the UK. It would make far far more sense to either locate it in Ireland where they already have a fab and therefore the expertise, to put in somewhere like Germany where key partners like the car companies are (as well as Munich being a great area for engineering talent), or frankly to stick it whereever they get the biggest subsidies from. Even as part of the EU, there is very little going for the UK as a fab site for Intel.

You have to refuse turning it on.

The default, in friendly big blue colors, is to "Allow suggestions" with the alternative called "Customize in settings". It is also not clear if disabling "suggestions", switches off all its machinery or merely prevents them from being shown.

As others have said up this thread, the problem is not as much the feature itself, but the fact that Mozilla deemed it perfectly fine to roll out something like this in the first place.

It becomes increasingly obvious that Mozilla no longer understands (or cares!) what it was that made Firefox special, made people stick with it and what the motivation and priorities of these people are.

That City A.M. link mentions Brexit once and negatively - that London is still a good place for start-ups despite Brexit. I wouldn't call that the opposite conclusion.
they generally get more then 400 million yearly revenue, though there was one outlier with over 800 million. this is money they generally don't have to pay taxes on because of their status as a non-profit.

mozilla employs at the moment around 800 people.

according to their FAQ

> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/annualreport/2015/f...

> More than 75% of Mozilla spending is on people-related investments to produce the products and programs that support our mission: keeping the web open, free, and accessible.

this would mean they had around 300 million to spend on these 800 employees, averaging around 375 000 per employee.

Sr. Software Engineers get <$200 000, so IF all of their 800 employees were senior software engineers (extremely unlikely), their salary would be around 160 million, which is slightly more then 50% of what was available. a more realistic calculation would be around 20-30%, because not everyone will be getting SV wages. They've got global presence after all with offices SF, Toronto, Berlin, Beijin etc.

you'd have to verify in which unrelated projects by third parties mozilla invests and generally follow the money to figure out anything more, but that is simply out of scope of a hn comment.

Kubernetes, once deployed, has surprisingly little knobs to tweak for the end user. You might have to pick between a StatefulSet and a Deployment depending on your workload, but that's about it.

Kubernetes cleanly separates reponsibility between maintainers of the platform (which have to make decisions on how to deploy it, and in cloud environments it's the cloud provider's job to do this) and users of the platform (which use a universal, fairly high-level API that's universal across clusters and cluster flavours). It's usually the former that people complain about being difficult and complex: picking the networking stack, storage stack, implementing cluster updates, ... that matters if you, for some reason, want to run a k8s cluster from scratch. But given something like a GKE cluster and a locally running kubectl pointing to it, it takes much less effort to deploy a production workload there than on a newly created AWS account. And there's much less individual resources and state involved.
Just imagine the meltdown if Google or Microsoft built that in. Somehow, Mozilla always get the slack and a couple of months down the road they are the saviour of the privacy world yet again.
A whole-house UPS is a fairly non-trivial affair. As you mention, there is a generator involved, but also batteries to feed the inverter which would carry the load whilst the generator got up to speed.

Another, often overlooked aspect, is the speed of the reaction necessary by the equipment switching the electrical load from the grid feed to the inverter feed. In many cases, it is too slow to be truly uninterruptable. Ideally, below 10ms, which is outside the capability of Tesla's Powerwall, Generac's offering, or Sonnen's gear.

The "You don't need a VPN" absolutists are completely missing what people go to VPNs for. The supposed debunking usually is along the lines of "TLS protects you well enough anyway", which doesn't work for:

- People who have ban-happy governments,

- People whose ISPs use DPI to harvest data on what they are accessing, and

- People who need to evade region blocks.

It's simple: you get a VPN if your threat model is your ISP or your government. Unlike my IPS, which has a quasi-monopoly in my area, if the VPN I use keeps logs I can take my business elsewhere, and many VPNs have had their no-logging provisions audited and tested in courts. I despise both my ISP and my government, and so I'm perfectly happy paying for a VPN.

Even for the so-called normies who are buying VPN subscriptions, it is rarely because they think it's more secure and almost always for evading region blocks. Every VPN that advertises on YouTube content creators has completely changed their marketing to emphasize this.
Can you expand on that?

I find the claim almost trivially true: we care about electricity production, so that should be the main goal we're tracking.

Get your facts right, FF has 870 million YAUs. You're off by several orders of magnitude.

This whole argument that only ads can save FF is weak and unfounded.

Also I don't want a "competitive browser", I want a simple browser that is customizable and that if needed, developers can run more complex addons on top of it. That is it. I am sure I am not alone in this.

And I most certainly don't want FF to spend money/time on "search engine" features. Let the search engines companies do that.

> Both Nvidia (and AMD?) have options to reduce latency to like 1 frame in their control panels.

In case you are referring to pre-rendered frames, this only affects the amount of additional latency (not actual or total latency).

> You probably pay for it with a bit of stutter when your system is pushed to the max - since there is no leeway buffer when frames don’t get finished in time.

True, if your system is not maxed out, you can enable Triple Buffering. If your rendering framerate is higher than your display, it will discard obsolete frames and only push the most recent one to the display.

See, Brexit governs how things will be made and sold, how people will be hired and payed. UK has been #1 spot after SV for long time, it doesn't really has anything to do with Brexit.

For some businesses the new trade situation is not bad, for some it is but you can't really argue that thanks to the increased red tape in trade and human resources companies are choosing UK to invest in certain industries that UK has been traditionally a powerhouse.

There's no benefit for businesses when you artificially limit the talent pool and increase bureaucracy for hiring people. There's also no benefit in introduction of border checks in trade.

Well, maybe it can be argued that thanks to the government being the first step in HR, British companies can overwork and underpay their foreign hires just like it's done in the USA thanks to the H-2B visa making the workers afraid of losing their job. However, if you are going to argue that thanks to the new visa rules UK companies are able to practically enslave their previously free workers, better show some numbers. I don't think that thanks to Brexit companies can now pay less to their EU workers who are afraid to lose their visa sponsorship. Even if UK companies are able to force EU employees to less pay and more work, it's very early to show up in any way because EU citizens had the chance to preserve their rights up until less than a year ago.

The value is not embedded in the ledger. Miners need to keep mining for all of eternity to maintain the security of the ledger. The featured article explains this point quite well. Ask yourself what would happen if miners stop mining?
Yeah, makes sense. In fact I don't care much if oil is taken out or not.

I just came up with a funny scheme. Each person submits a bid saying "I'd like to receive X dollars per 1MT increase in net daily emissions, and I'm willing to pay the same sum per 1MT decrease". The tricky part is paying for second derivative: not CO2 concentration, not emissions, but change in emissions. Then as the emissions actually happen, they get tallied up by the government, an average "price per 1MT increase" gets determined, and emitters are forced to pay that price, so everyone gets paid (or pays) exactly as they asked. If carbon capture also happens, then carbon capture companies also get paid, either by emitters if there's a net increase, or from people's stated bids if there's a net decrease.

This seems weird at first, what if everyone submits million-dollar bids? Well, then emitters reduce emissions for a short time and take everyone's money. On the other hand, what if everyone submits zero? Then emitters keep increasing emissions, and everyone misses out on being paid. So there's some optimal bid in between. Anyone who wants emissions to go down just submits a larger bid.
IMO the frontend JavaScript ecosystem is a complete mess. Nobody cares about maintaining things properly or backwards compatibility. I mostly do backend, but occasionally do frontend work, and whenever I do I feel like bashing my head against a wall.

Case in point: Early last year I created a proof of concept web app that needs to run in the browser and a webview on an old version of Android. I used create-react-app which at the time was the most popular way to... create React apps. This year I updated all the deps and something in the build broke meaning it no longer produces something runnable on the old version of Android we need. There's been an open issue on create-react-app for nearly a year, however it seems Facebook have abadoned that project and everyone has switched to Vite/Rollup now. I spend half a day switching to that which mostly works, except as it doesn't actually bundle, the dev build no longer works on the Android webview - but that's not such a deal breaker. However in the production build treeshaking seems to be completely broken, so the resulting build is a few mb instead of a few hundred kb.
Just scroll down and they provide a regional breakdown and the median difference is about 20k. So it actually makes sense for the median engineer to move to a cheaper location.
Depending on what you're doing, ctags can also be a big help.
> a macbook would cost $15,000.

Devil's advocate: What's bad about that? Guess we would appreciate the value of the device way more if it would be that expensive. Also, by reducing the margin available to the company, it certainly wouldn't land at 15k. And yes, that would also mean that "shareholders" won't be able to make millions.

As the writer of this review, I agree that the book's fame sets expectations that cannot possibly be met. And perhaps my enthusiastic review which ignores its inadequacies, in favor of focusing on the value I saw in it, also inflates one's expectations to the determent of the work.

It's not a masterpiece of literature. Huxley himself did not believe it was a great work of his. It has, however, become a symbol for an insidious type of tyranny that I have called "feminine tyranny."

> Huxley seems to be dead afraid of a society in which the monogamous family is washed away by technology and higher forms of social organization, without really making the case why hanging out in the reservation is supposed to be any good.

These "higher forms of social organization" can only come at the expense of the individual. This is one of Huxley's main anxieties.

Huxley was not a racist, he was not a sexist: he was a creative individual. He saw how collectivization movements were killing his kind. Brave New World is his cry. Given that Huxley was a writer, who names several of his books with the words of Shakespeare -- Brave New World itself is a bit of dialogue from The Tempest, -- I believe John IS Huxley's avatar. And John commits suicide at the end.

I find myself incredibly sad that you've interpreted him this way. I truly don't believe he was the type of individual you claim he was.

I'd rather argue that extra bureaucracy around Brexit and UK <-> EU dynamics does exist, but it's not a decisive factor for the region (and businesses) to develop and prosper. Talent and businesses outside EU have always had these conditions with the UK, and now they are getting a level playing field.
Honestly as a user I will avoid any app that is trying to offer me a purchase outside the App Store.

Does anyone here know whether/how this should affect WebGL rendering?

I'm developing a browser-based 3D game, and since a week or two ago I've noticed the rendering on mac/chrome is way slower than before. In fact my game now seems to be GPU-bound, where up to now it's always been CPU-bound. I think this started right around Chrome 94 shipped, but it's hard to downgrade and check. This is only on mac; PC performance doesn't seem to have changed.

TFA makes it sound like whatever is new in v94 is only about page rendering, not WebGL, but does anyone know for sure?
