> native adblocker that won't get fucked over by Manifest v3

neither is uBO on Firefox and uBO is more effective than anything else out there including Brave's adblocking

I'd also be interested to know exactly how Brave intends to bypass Manifest v3 since it's a change in Chromium itself which is what Brave is based on.

> tracker blocking

also built in to Firefox, gets even better with uBO

> anti-fingerprinting tech

Any article or blog post to show how effective it is? Most anti-fingerprinting tech ends up making a browser even more fingerprint-able. The only browser that successfully achieves anti-fingerprinting is Tor Browser and it relies on a lot of people using an exactly same config of Tor Browser

> defaulting to privacy friendly search engines?

Changing search engines is trivially easy in Firefox.

I'm on a 32 and 27 in monitor and there is nothing better than having a tiling wm. The available space is so large I really don't want to touch the mouse to put something into the right position.

To add to the rest of the discussion. I've tried different tiling wms. Starting with qtile (written in python) to awesome, xmonad i3 and now I'm on sway. I think xmonad has the best way of dealing with multiple screens (tags are essentially independent of screen), which I missed originally when moving away from it. Fortunately there are some python scripts to emulate the same behavior on i3/sway.
I thought it was Hardware Abstraction Layer.
The thing is, I've worked extensively with object detection and segmentation neural nets for the past three years: they would barf all over the place in this scenario. You can't train for enough of the types of terrain obstacles encountered in such a wide-open range of outdoor spaces, and you certainly couldn't do it fast enough with any degree of accuracy, even with a 3080 GPU, let alone an embedded Xavier-class NVidia module. A dinky int8 quantized "tree/no-tree" wouldn't stand a chance.

This is why I asked for more details. They seem to indicate training, which today means neural net and not expert systems of yore. But that one be one hell of an object detector!! My question still stands.
>The great thing about vi(m) is that it's always there. SSH'd into some random server and need to edit some random config? vim

I hate that, I ssh in, then maybe I want to edit cron and I am hit with vim(someone changed the simple nano with it), in the past you had no choice then google how to quit vim but now it will tell you how to do it(I ssh and change config files 1 or 2 times a year). I never learned how to quit, just o use
EDITOR=nano command
to get a simple editor, I don't need a powerful editor for config files.
> But I have found it painful for original authoring of large original content, .... anything larger than two screens of text.

I guess the balance is in how much you're writing compared to editing; I'd hazard a guess to say that most programmers are editing code mainly, with only short bouts of creation.

Whenever I'm creating, I always need to modify as I go; spelling errors, re-order thoughts, delete entire words, etc. and I find the vim keybindings too mnemonic to not use anywhere else.

Even when I'm writing research papers on sharelatex.org, I still try to turn on vim mode, because I find myself trying to type ":w" and "ciw" all over the place.
Aren't they still half of what they are in austin?
If you are logged in they disable the ads, or at least the generic ads. They still have the "business software" category which is essentially ads for SaaS and commercial software, but that is its own section you have to explicitly go at.
Advertisers pretty much decide what get monetised on YouTube if you think about it - the money YouTube gives out is advertiser money after all.

I feel that if numbers were all wrong in, say, the automotive or aerospace industries, there'd be more of an upheaval about it.

Then again, the nanometer sizes aren't always completely indicative of performance and aren't necessary to be used in any capacity when actually using a computing device, so maybe it's not as bad.

Tesla uses common technology available. Mass-produced consumer cars haven't yet adopted lidar, because the technology has been too expensive and bulky, until very recent development. The next-gen premium cars will likely offer lidar as an option in near future.
Every person I know who dual-booted or ran *nix in a vm has now switched over to WSL, including myself. It works ok, I got a korn shell, I can access all the windows data.

This move killed cygwin and a lot of dual-boot linux installs within a year of availability.

here's the thing though - everyone i know just needs the basic korn shell and basic unix like features for their laptop. no one is writing apps targeting wsl, no one's running it on a server. the features we use wsl for have been the same since 1988, and we're not interested in the new ones.
Nope, it was code AND data, including the sensitive type (e.g. user payouts).
>I can never remember what xnm means as it varies between companies.

Intel has renamed their node so the industry has now pretty much standardise on naming. Where all 3nm from Samsung, TSMC and Intel will have similar transistor density. ( But not similar performance or any other characteristic )

Officially Intel doesn't use 4nm or 3nm, they call it Intel 4 or Intel 3. But for the sake of easier comparison most people still use Intel 4nm to describe it.

I don't know what the root cause of this event was: CS Energy hasn't finished its investigation yet. Regardless of what the actual root cause was though, I think this looks a lot like what a network-launched attack on infrastructure would look like.

Three things that particularly stand out in this regard: the local SCADA for Callide C4 reporting to the operators that the unit was still exporting 278MW when in reality it was motoring, absorbing 50MW, for over half an hour; the generator CB for Callide C4 failing to operate; and the local protection at Calvale substation failing to operate for apparently unknown reasons - all lines into it tripped at the remote ends only.

Note that the operators did not regain control of Callide C4 - after absorbing considerable energy for considerable time, it tore itself apart.
Ask HN: Can I get critique/feedback on my blog
Hello HN,

I’m trying to invest more time into blogging but i would love to hear your thoughts on how I come improve and come up with new topics

To be a bit snarky:

sed 's/vim/nano/g'

If you care about quick edits in a user friendly environment, you might as well use software that's simple to use and doesn't have a steep learning curve, instead providing user friendly shortcuts.

In my eyes, Vim is better suited for more advanced text processing and more macro heavy edits, where you need to do lots of repeated actions. Of course, if you are used to Vim, might as well use it for everything, however if you don't that suggestion is possibly a suboptimal one.

Though there's definitely a space that's also occupied by regular text editors (like Notepad++ or the *nix equivalents) if you're in a graphical environment where you even have the possibility of opening an IDE.
> It’s not perfectly immutable, but I’m here to do work, not to perfect ideals. I can understand why some wouldn’t like this, it’s definitely not ideal. I think it’s not too bad though, at least for my workflow.

This was my train of thought at the time, too. But now you're just using software normally, but with an extra step, and no NixOS benefit.

> I will say that some stuff is not easily encapsulated in Nix. Of course, you could always use virtual machines or Docker as an escape hatch. I’ve found this to be a fairly good solution in the somewhat rare event I need it.

It's true, escape hatches exist. But they are solutions to problems you are _creating by using nixos_, which did not occur on a normal FHS system, and require time and energy investments to solve them. And those problems are landmines lurking in every piece of software you will ever adopt in the future.

> At first, it seems useful for software development, but trust me, if you get deep enough in it is way more important for system management.

I don't doubt this is true. But there is a cost of time and energy to get deep enough in it, and I was unable to convince myself that it was worth it during my time using the OS. I really wish that weren't the case, I love the idea of NixOS, I just can't justify learning it for a singular personal system, because it forces you to have a deep understanding of the Linux-y systems you're encapsulating, and the Nix-y layer on top.
Aside: feel like reliability of bunch of the newer TLDs and acceptance of them has increased a ton in the last 2 years. Way more random sites out there like .dev .xyz .fun .club too that are used by people for small and large projects. I recently was out shopping for something new and noticed more which companies own huge swathes of the newer TLDs... donuts Inc etc... And they seem to be doing an ok job maintaining etc. All good. The .com space is still king but having more options that aren't polluted like the last round of new TLDs like .biz got, or write ccTLD hacks like .up and whatever that were popular for awhile but risky and expensive, is good.
No, it's "load pretrained resnet and finetune on a few examples". Nobody trains from scratch today except the researchers with large budgets.
>>>In Austin, you’re lucky to get 1G anywhere.

This feeds into my dystopian believes. I a couple of years those drones will be affordable to every individual. This individual will then savely engage in a drone strike against other individuals. Hence I predict an end of the celebrity cult :)
> That doesn't seem like a super meaningful statement, not least because it's both excessive and insufficient.

That's very disingenuous.

The "application server owner" has all the control. The "server owner" can transfer my repo, copy my PRs, inject their own PRs, and even lock me out.

If I control the server, it becomes VASTLY more difficult to impersonate me or inject a change without my permission or cooperation.

Sure, it can be done, but it will take far more than just a couple people of random employees typing for a couple minutes at a keyboard to pull it off. Someone will have to spend real money to usurp my DNS, set up another website, copy all the data (which they may or may not have full access to), etc.

The cost to compromise me is orders of magnitude higher if I control my own servers.

Sure, but the east side is fairly anti transit compared to the west side. Look at the drama Bellevue put everyone through for the new link route from Seattle to Redmond via Mercer island.

Also, Renton to Totem Lake should only be one connection given a weird sound transit airport route (590?) from West Seattle to Bellevue that goes through Renton.
A lot of times it's easier to just learn the tools of the trade instead of fighting a never-ending battle. I don't need or like awk, but I learned it because it's in use and it was very helpful to do so.
Well, they have to, in order to stay relevant among non-ms-stack developers.

Macs have been compatible enough since release of OS X.
I used to spend a lot of time messing with Vim configs, memorised enough shortcuts to save me time, and set them up in my dotfile repo. I have since switched to VS Code permanently and I would not look back. It just works with so many toolchains/workflows, and as much as I dislike electron, it is in my estimation, no less productive than my Vim-zealot setup. The command palette is good enough to navigate functionality for me.

It is my personal opinion that there is no good reason to learn Vim or its variants nowadays with the current tooling available. We should be trying to innovate on something better than text editing for producing code because there has been next to _zero_ innovation (imo) in paradigms for producing code for literal decades and I know there is an opportunity for something better. I don't know what that kind of 'better' would look like but I'd be really interested to find out.
Who gets to determine what is and isn't malicious?
But then you eat shit when you use the best-in-class Nix package manager on MacOS because Apple breaks compatibility constantly.
Check out micro[1], there's no need to learn key shortcuts because it uses the same ones that every IDE or text editor ever uses. It also has full mouse support.

What state parks are closing? What infrastructure is crumbling? The new construction on the 5 freeway is some of the most impressive work in the country and LA is currently building more rail than anywhere else in the country at once currently; la metro has been making money hand over fist since 2016 sales tax initiatives. CA also spends some of the most money per pupil in the country. Unlike other parts of the country, the sprawl has been pinned now by geography at least in LA where its infilled to the mountains, and can infill no further owing to the terrain. Construction goes vertical now in LA, there's almost no greenfield left to develop short of some holdout farm plots in San Bernardino and Riverside counties. In texas, eventually there will be unified suburban sprawl all between houston and austin and dallas-fw, probably within our lifetimes, since there is no geography to pin development.

If you sort the channels talking about climate-change by views, then you can manually vet the top few thousands and use ML for the rest. You can also do graph analysis to classify channels based on common viewers, starting with a seed of manually labelled channels and the graph.

They already did.
Of course my comment is not about anyone personally and I expect there is a lot of people who are doing just fine and are reasonable.

But then under performers are interviewing more so they cast bad impression on others that are their age/ethnicity whatever.

Just like the saying good developers are not on the market for long and one that make good impression are hired quickly.
probably the single most useful thing in NeoVim is

:set inccommand=nosplit

This lets you see the results of commands (like complex regex for example) while you type them. For me this has made a huge difference to the enjoyment of refactoring code. It is both possible and fun to try a ridiculous regular expression with lots of capture groups or even one that works across newlines when I can watch the results as I type.

Saddly this only works in NeoVim to my knowledge, not in regular vim, but it's pretty amazing.

I've met people like that as well, but what's interesting about them is that what they say and do is more akin to cult-like behavior than a sincerely considered belief. If they actually believed that the world was going to end in 30 years (or whatever it is this week) they'd quit their tech job and learn how to hunt, do subsistence farming, and go off the grid. None of them - in my experience - do any of this, and merely get irrationally upset and worried about something they themselves have zero control over rather than prepare for said event they think is inevitable.

So you can access the Linux files from within Windows File Explorer it seems.

But Windows-11 still has the 260 char path-length limitation by default I believe. Linux does not have that limitation. So what happens if you try to access Linux files whose path is > 260 from within the File Explorer?
It kind of does but more in a political way. Property taxes on commercial property are also frozen and the trade off was rent control for tenants.

But you are right that the rental and home sale markets are entirely different. Owning costs more than renting in SF by a large margin.
