Dude. TI-81 was my high school calculator. I got pretty famous at some point for managing to squeeze into it a decent RPG with monsters, health points and some story line. Other geeks were jealous and jocks patted me on the back for providing distraction. The challenge was the available BASIC program memory. We spent the next few months figuring out how to reduce the footprint to the bare minimum to add more gameplay. No internet at the time. Just our brains and the manuals. I chuckle at the idea of what we could have done if we had been hinted access to assembly and pixel flicker tricks to have 4 colours.

EDIT: Typos
The pipeline rendering architecture is probably also in part to blame. It doesn't degrade particularly gracefully.

Modern GPUs have staggered rendering where one frame is rendered while the previous frame is postprocessed (that's a bit simplified, it's more like a waterfall with a bunch of different steps). That sort of a conveyor belt-like operation always induces latency, and a struggling GPU increases the time it takes the frame to hit the screen. We blame the frame rate, but in reality that's just another symptom of what's causing the perception of sluggishness, rather than the cause itself.
Man I feel old knowing I was alive early enough to have found that midi file amazing.
You are OK that - by default - you type something in the Firefox address bar and some random company you've heard of gets a copy of it? You are A-OK with this?

Because this is on by default in FF93, be it a new install or an upgrade.

For now limited to the US, but it's safe to assume they are just testing waters.
It wasn't "because he was a conservative". It was because he was funding a campaign to limit peoples rights and and everyone / every website was running a campaign to tell users to get off Firefox if they want to stop funding this. It would have destroyed Mozilla if they did nothing.

I would donate to Mozilla if >50% went to FF development. Considering that I haven't seen prompts to donate in Firefox(for that last years at least), in the release notes, etc. It seems like a missed opportunity, both for FF development and for other Mozilla projects.
There's some remarkable sleight of hand in "for every person working on [it]". That's a lot of people required to build a browser. Are you suggesting each of those 5000 users pays $5 multiplied by $NUM_OF_DEVELOPERS, or that you'll need [5000 multiplied by $NUM_OF_DEVELOPERS] users?
I largely lost my trust in Brave after the absolute shitshow where they were hard-redirecting domains globally that you hand entered through their affiliate link redirects - you'd enter example.com and the browser would be hardcoded to not load example.com
What would be a use case of this?
But the Web we have is not a monolith. If freedom/ethics/privacy/etc. are important to a browser user, they should realize that there's a subset of the Web that they need, and one they can do without. "I need to be able to discover and consume every work in every medium from everyone immediately and have it be secure and efficient" is the unspoken mindset that enables this kind of decay in the browser world. Essential services like banks, government are the one subset that you need but will be extremely hard to change, if even possible. For everything else, people need to realize that there's a Web that doesn't need their browsers to participate in this arms race, and that Web needs support from users and from producers.

EDIT: I guess I forgot shopping in essential services, which is another huge source of fuel in the arms race.
I haven't had a faster processor in years. (Maybe decades?)

Why everyone is talking about Data-Centric AI?
You're now making a tangential argument about whether people are being paid their worth and frankly that's never been the case.

Most of us developers, devops and sysadmins are paid an obscene wage compared to many critical services like nursing. Is it fair? Probably not. But that doesn't have any baring on the complexity of Linux vs Firefox.
I would be. The Gemini devs would insist that nothing should be supported that doesn't work on an 80 char terminal with only the ascii charset.

You don't pay per hour to get things delivered? Sure, if delivery workers unionized end customer costs would likely be a bit higher, but is that such a bad thing if it means the people working are not worked to the bone anymore?
how do you support firefox, b/c there is no direct way at all.
No it wouldn't have. The outraged were a minority and have a short attention span. I'm sure Firefox would be doing better today with him at the helm. But we'll never know.
Maybe, but we can still protest against changes when they are silly. Nobody in French would call Debussy's Clair de Lune "une chanson", why should the English language be oversimplified? Also, good music players use the word "track", and one song (or other musical piece) can span over multiple tracks, e.g. Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother.

The 1930-1980 era provides a convincing answer to this question, and the answer is a big yes.
I know projects that do or did put their production database credentials, which had full read and write access, in git.

And no, thats not a clever thing to do, neither is there a good reason to do it. But people do things you do not like and theres little you can do about it.

I am starting to think there is a part of (some?) people's brains that needs to take something seriously. When all basic needs are met: food, warmth, security etc., problems are invented to give that part of the brain something to do.
And this is why Apple needs to be forced to allow app sideloading on iOS. A software and hardware company shouldn't be playing police.

What is the principle element of KETO Advanced 1500?
KETO Advanced 1500 contains exogenous beta-hydroxybutyrate as its principle fixing. Ketones, for example, BHB are ketones. Fat is changed over into energy by this interaction. Ketosis is the consequence of this cycle. This interaction stops when the body becomes diverted and changes to glucose creation through carbs.

In Finland consumers have the right to return the product for 7, 14 or 21 days (depending on product category and if online/offline store). The merchant has very little control over this with the main exceptions being stuff like underwear etc that can not be returned due to hygiene reasons.

The product when returned still has to be in a state that it can be sold.

This also means that lot of people pointing out Amazons very liberal return policy being a good reason to shop there makes no sense here. We got roughly the same return policy for all online shopping. And as others pointed out EU regulations give 14day return policy for all online shopping.
How to get free AWS credit
If Mozilla hired a better CEO with the money, I agree that’d justify paying the position more.
>> When passing data on to our partners, we are careful to only provide the partner with the minimum information required to serve the feature.

That's hogwash without access to details of actual cases. What is the definition of "minimum" for a given partner here?

Reminds me of the UX of Android a couple years ago:

- Android: "I'm a better system than desktops, I offer fine-grained permissions that ensure apps only have access to what they need, nothing more."

- Every single app, upon installation: "I need every single permission enumerable in the current SDK version."

>> A specific example of this principle in action is the search’s location. (...)

Oh, that's nice, I feel a bit more relaxed - this means they can't enable this feature for me at all, because they first have to seek informed consent from me for this kind of processing. They'd better remember to ask.
>which I don't see happening anytime soon mostly because of the attitudes and culture of openness of the engineers & researches at said labs.

> Arguably these tables could be on Scylla/Cassandra with eventual consistency even

In a past company we managed to run a bank on Cassandra with eventual consistency. It was ... well, it was good CV experience for the DevOps guys. (I also didn't need much encouragement to take the 'no getting drunk while on-call' rule very seriously.)
Oof, Bring back Eich ASAP. What's next? Mozilla to bundle the Ask Toolbar with Firefox installer?
I love Postgres and used it in the past in my businesses.

With my new business, though, I went with SQLite. It's good enough, and I don't have to worry about keeping it up 24/7 (or paying someone to keep it up). I can copy a database file to a new machine, and it'll be up and running in no time. I don't worry much about scalability.

More often than not, simple is better than complex.
The reason why they removed it is still anti-consumer.
this looks really cool, especially the design is sleek and also i see there is a profile section for people that are investors kind of makes me intrigued in what people are investing
Why is this news? It would be more newsworthy if he decided to stick with updating it.
Mozilla are in a no-win situation:

- implement the standards and they get blamed for dancing to Google's tune

- don't implement the standards and people quickly drop Firefox because it doesn't support "the modern web"

The only way Mozilla can compete is to play along. So it's better they do that and take the criticism than ending up obsolete through stubbornness.

Why deny him this right? Isn't it convenient to let kids and mentally unhealthy people to identity themselves this obviously? It's always easier when you know what to expect.
Just checked it out, super cool concept, was waiting for something like this for long :)
> The problem is how you get started while building reputation, but I'm sure that it's possible.

In case of Mozilla/Firefox: do this while you still have some reputation left. It's literally the one party on the Internet that would have a chance of pulling it off.
And Firefox's business model is based on Ads - both models are just as scummy as each other.
Umm, did anyone read the reference manual for x86_64? Intel's big enough to kill a goat (~2000). Add AMD on that and you can kill a small tribe of goats.

Great resource - but needs clickable package type names so you can check the outline of the case, or even ID to datasheet links.

Ability to search by case type and function would be great - often you can't read the marking but you can make a good guess at what a device might be doing - "what could this SOT-23 voltage regulator be" etc.

They do that because they need money. Why can't they just ask for money? Can't we just have a healthier business model: you want a good product that cost money to develop, just pay for it?

It could be a freemium model: users paying for premium features (Sync, VPN, ...) support the company, for example.

In what nation?
Looks like Mitchell Baker is just trying to suck as much money out of Firefox as she can before retiring. Hard to see another way this strategy of lighting the company’s reputation on fire to earn a few extra bucks makes sense.

Bizarre and scummy beyond belief. They claim to be all about privacy to sell their VPN service. And then they also start selling what you type into the address bar to some creepy adtech company, so they can show us ads.

Such shame there’s no one to hold Mozilla management to account for this kind of malfeasance.
How many things are we going to need to deactivate in 5 years from now? First Pocket, then this; what next?

Thanks a lot for mismanaging your budget like seemingly every other non-profit, Mozilla.

That’s why no one should blindly trust Wikipedia. There’s no evidence for the Japanese “go” light ever having a blue color, the first traffic lights in Japan were imported from the US and the first Japanese traffic law to mention traffic lights called them 緑 (green) not 青 (green or blue depending on the context).
Mozilla takes hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue a year. For decades it hired its engineers from the single most expensive place on earth to hire an engineer, the Bay Area. It boosted CEO pay into the millions shortly before laying off a big chunk of its engineering team. If they had taken the cash they spent on "diversifying their revenue streams" (i.e. getting distracted by side projects while their moneymaker Firefox got slower and lost all its users) over the last decade and a half and stuck it into a trust, they'd be sitting on a war chest of billions of dollars right now.

I also don't understand what will stop all five of their remaining users from switching to IceCat, Chromium, or Brave.
Going back to the previous page :-) to be fair sometimes it can be extremely useful, say you have a wizard that could end up on different URLs depending on different answers, you can just use this and know which page to go back to without needing to calculate it.
Almost everything I search for goes to Google or some other search company, with a lot more metadata attached to it, so yes, I am OK with that apparently.

They would never overcome the reputation damage from IE. I think they accepted that and switched to Chromium because it just makes maintaining the userbase they do have a lot easier.
Cool, make a sci-C with all the optimisations allowed that is trivially interoperable with simple-C. Mangling the latter into the former serves no-one.

How much slower would removing the UB footgun make scientific code? Do you have benchmarks? Because we have endless firsthand accounts that it makes standard C useless.
> This is all working fairly well, but would be much improved if FF had a Move Tab option that lets me select a specific existing window.

Mozilla could've banded together with Apple to refuse to implement things (Safari doesn't implement many of the things Google proposes).

Our bodies are this type of utopia. Some billions years ago individual cells evolved to live in collectives. Then they evolved to form specific castes or as we call them tissues. Cancer is a disease where some cells are loosing their caste and multiply. Auto-immune diseases are when the army caste of a body does not serve the collective.
How are they planning on enabling this by default for European users like me, without first getting express, informed consent? Did they found a GDPR workaround?

> Firefox has always provided address bar suggestions, such as websites from your browsing history, bookmarks and open tabs (on by default), as well as suggestions from your default search engine. Beginning in Firefox version 92, you will also receive new, relevant suggestions from our trusted partners based on what you’re searching for. No new data is collected, stored, or shared to make these new recommendations.

Given that these recommendation require PII processing (e.g. IP, location) by Mozilla, and "no new data is collected, stored (...)", how does that work? I don't recall ever giving consent to Mozilla to process my data.

(Yes, I'm pissed. They just admitted to going to bed with advertisers, and didn't even bother to give us a honest explanation. You can bet I'm looking if they can be slapped with GDPR.)

EDIT: missed this on first reading. I blame banner blindness.

Right. I wonder why?

> We used to call this the "Scunthorpe problem"

Fwiw, it's well-known as such, after relatively high-profile incidents involving people with that address: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem
Prices are determined by supply and demand, so there is no merit in claiming a person writing software has an obscene earnings compared to a nurse. Not to mention that you can get into all kinds of nonsense like “the team of software developers made something that saved millions of man hours enabling nurses to help many more patients”. But that is neither here nor there.

However, you can compare the people in the same business, such as those writing software for operating systems and web browsers and compare the cost and productivity in both.
Many people would pay for firefox so long as it supports their pet features and they all have their own pet features. And it would still be less than they'd get from advertising.
One of the main comparisons in the paper is to ClusPro docking of Alphafold-generated monomers. ClusPro uses FFT-based sampling of rotations and translations of rigid monomers followed by minimization to allow the monomers to relax and adapt. This paper allows significantly more adaptation in the formation of multimers than ClusPro does.

Historically, most multimer prediction software has required well structured subunits. And the field was largely built around benchmarks that had structures of subunits [0]. Over the last decade, there has been a increased recognition that many heterodimers are made up of a well structured protein and an intrinsically disordered protein [1] (or intrinsically disordered region of another protein). This lead to a lot of efforts to predict what residues are in the interface and then generating ensembles of "peptide" structures (where peptide is <~15 residues) to model the predicted interface without having to predict larger structure.

So, to answer, the structures of the original protein change. An increasingly important area is proteins that don't have much structure as a monomer, but you'll see changes in ones that have well-structured monomers as well. If you dig into some of the difficult cases of the zlab benchmark (using pymol for example), you'll find that in many of those cases, the proteins undergo large conformational changes in forming the complex.
