Yes calling Rails magical is a bit lazy imo. There is no magic and everything is documented to the point I would say it's actually quite a beginner friendly framework. You can say you disagree with some of the Rails APIs/conventions but that's very different than "magic". I think a lot of the complainers are people who just don't want to bother with Rails, they are not making the minimal effort of reading most of the docs. Maybe there was one Rails legacy project on their job that was a mess and interfered with their efforts to learn Node/React/Cool new stack. If that's your mindset then yes Rails is very "magical".
I think a good example of two solutions used in browsers and OSes that are meaningfully similar (and not inherent to all systems software) would convince me better. Do you have one?

> In the meantime, we will continue to add new capabilities to Manifest V3 based on the needs and voices of our developer community. Even in the last few months, there have been a number of exciting expansions of the extension platform.

I have yet to see where Chrome is explicitly telling anyone they plan to phase out support for adblockers, nor where they are making it clear that is their intention. V3 is not yet completed, and is actively being worked on. If they actually do disable adblockers then that is a different story.

I believe that most Americans believe that it's an economic law that if wages increase it _will_ result in wage price inflation.

Inflation just means you get less stuff per dollar in the store

Wage price inflation means the excess labor cost(wages) is added to the price of goods, resulting in increased wages, resulting in increased prices over and over until bread costs 1 billion dollars.

This is an absurd proposition when you could just reduce profit margins. The problem is that capitalists don't want to. Why should they!

What should happen is that we should allow wage price inflation forcing companies to lower profit margins after a very short recession, then quality of life would increase for the working majority.

Here is one example in Brave's favour, seach: politics influences the science of covid-19

Brave - first result.

Google - no first page, no second page, no third page, stopped checking.

Let's try that in quotes - it's the exact title of the article: "politics influences the science of covid-19"

Brave: first result

Google: no results found, searching without quotes.
Learning Peano arithmetic from examples, for instance learning to count over the natural numbers, is a classic machine learning task. Modern machine learning systems can only solve this task approximately, that is they can learn to count over a certain interval but not, say, to arbitary values. Same goes for other arithmetic. This, despite the progress in apparently more complex tasks such as classifying objects in images etc. Of course, if you don't know what Peano arithmetic is, you can't imagine why it may be a useful test of learning ability.

But I think your question is more along the lines of "why do I need Peano arithmetic to build an image classifier?" (or any machine learning application). To be clear, you don't. But without knowledge of some fundamental concepts in mathematics and the theory of computation, you won't understand the power and limitations of any system you may be capable of buidling. As a lay person, that's by the by. As a machine learning researcher, that'd be disastrous.

Unfortunately, as the OP points out, such lack of deep background in AI research is common today, and probably responsible for the absolute quagmire in which machine learning research finds itself.

This makes no sense for this example. It's an always enabled browser security API. It doesn't expose anything about the device, it doesn't even have state, they're just proposing a new Sanitizer API with methods to sanitize DOM objects. All you could detect is its presence, which provides far less info than the browser version alone.

There are other fingerprinting issues on the web, sure, but this is not one of them. The knee-jerk "all changes on the web are bad" responses are not helpful.

Brave has bought a search company that became what is now "Brave Search". They are using their own index.

The "third-parties" bit, IIUIC, is the part when their index does not give good results and it falls back to working like startpage: they send the anonymized query to Google/Bing and take the results to send to the user. I believe that the idea is that they can use this as a way to improve their own index.

They also show on the results page how much of the results are coming from them vs from third-parties [0]

This seems somewhat natural, at least to me.

Imagine you're talking to your friend, and you say the exact same thing you tell Google: "North Korea DHL". They're not going to have any idea what you're talking about (they can guess) - do you want to ship something there? Are you making a comment/observation? A business opportunity? Your friend would probably ask clarifying questions to narrow down what you're talking about, or you would be more specific upfront.

Computers don't magically read your mind nor they know your intent. Adding quotes to search and other 'advanced' techniques are the equivalent of adding context to a conversation.

Personally I have rarely experienced what you have, and when I do it's usually for specific international queries (like searching for a Belgian slang word from Google US) which isn't an issue if you use the correct locale/language for what you're searching for. Obviously it's not perfect, I'm just surprised by your anecdote in the absence of a real example.

It's basically the first topic that comes out whenever comedians are in a "candid" situation.

>Grzegorz (name changed) works in Amazon's warehouse in Sady near Poznań, who agreed to anonymously tell about the events of the beginning of September. - I remember that the day before, on September 5, this man asked the leader to assign someone to help, because he was not working anymore - he says. - The leader refused. The man who died later was to go on the next day with a complaint to the OPS manager, i.e. the main manager of a given department. He did not make it anymore. He was a very hardworking man. I wouldn't be able to refuse him anything. When he had breaks, he ate a sandwich and quickly returned to work. Look for such people with a candle. It really turned out what kind of insurance we have. We are meaningless pawns.

>According to Grzegorz, one piece of information has not been made public.

>- The very beginning of this event was not treated as an approach of man to man. The man, who reported the problem with catching his breath, was walking to the rescuer on his own quite a long distance, from point A to point B. It was a culpable mistake. In case of shortness of breath, he should not go there. The leader was walking beside him, but he was not helping him, not even as a support. Due to the safety rules related to COVID-19. It was the same leader who had refused to help the man the day before. They treated you like garbage, like typical waste
I think the documentation is fairly clear:

"Allow optimizations for floating-point arithmetic that assume that arguments and results are not NaNs or +-Infs."

The obvious implication is that is that arguments and results are always finite and as a programmer you are responsible of guaranteeing the correct preconditions.

Certainly do not use finite-math-only when dealing with external data.
The German motorway toll system which was planned to take less than a year to roll out and ended up taking more than two years longer than planned is also a good example.

Hostility towards users asking questions as seen in the tabstrip API bug. (A really simple thing that I fix on a weekly basis in 4 minutes every time I restart Firefox but somehow next to impossible for Mozilla. Although I should admit they are making it harder and harder for me as well.)

Pushing Pocket (which is nice and could have become a nice source of income from users like me who wants to support the browser) in a dishonest way and as a built in part of Firefox instead of an extension that people could remove, saying there were no ties when there definitely was.

Almost scaring the crap out of a number of the more careful ones of us when they installed a "I, Robot extension" or something without any warning.

Milking the browser part of the system dry to fund its "mission", then laying off browser engineers and the Rust team to save money.

Pretending to be a community when fundraising, but a dictator when making decisions.

Misleading people to think they suppprt Firefox when they donate to the foundation, then sending nothing to the browser and burning it all on "its mission".
I wish Amazon employs 50% more workforce and then force cut working hours for workers to 8 hours / day. Aka, you can't do overtime even if you want to.

But may be they did it. Or the workers don't want it. Or something else. It's not like Amazon didn't think of it themselves.
You do know, that there are 24 fulfillment centers in Germany alone and each one of them needs the same type of work, that is being done in each of 7 centers in Poland? Because your comment suggests that the hard work is being done only in Poland.
I have used C++ since 1993 with bounds checking enabled, it hardly has ever mattered.

The very few cases where it actually mattered for project delivery acceptance, were proven with a profiler, and fixed on those single cases only.

Most of the time it is just cargo cult taken from C into other languages.

Multics had a better DoD security profile assessment than UNIX, thanks to PL/I being bounds checked by default.

Mac OS used Object Pascal until they decided to switch to C++ around 1992, it also hardly impacted their sales, using a language with bounds checking.
I'm pretty excited about this for two reasons:

- First of all it makes sense that this feature is provided by the browser itself and they take some responsibility if it doesn't work right.

- Currently the best library for sanitization is probably DOMPurify, and the native Sanitizer API is around 100x faster than DOMPurify, so that would speed up some things dramatically.

I just hope it won't take years for Safari to implement this.

>I have yet to see where Chrome is explicitly telling anyone they plan to phase out support for adblockers, nor where they are making it clear that is their intention.

That was never their intention, not what the uproar was about, so it's to be expected that you're not seeing any evidence of it. The problem with Manifest V3 is not that it disables adblockers; not sure where you got that idea from.

The problem is that it severely restricts how effective they can be. Many of the things uBO does cannot be done in v3. That's what the uproar is about.

What are you talking about? So many incorrect statements and false statements in such a short comment with a post as reference that actually conflicts with what you said.

iPhone 7 was successful. So was iPhone 8. iPhone X NFC failure was just that. An iPhone X NFC defect. They knew it was defective and they released it anyway. All the felica magic is in their secure element and they had it nailed down in iPhone 7 already. iPhone X NFC isn't just defective in Japan, it's defective globally. Another contributor to iPhone X's failure in Japan was the lack of TouchID.

Also Android OEMs have had Felica support forever, but only in Japan and only using specific secure elements. The issue here is that Google kept telling everyone how HCF without SE is as secure as having a secure element and kept trying to push that narrative until they didn't. Pixel phones now have two secure elements, one comes with the NFC chipset they choose - usually from NXP-, and one is their own.

Basically every bigger Android phone manufacturer nowadays has their own secure element. Oppo, Samsung, Google, Huawei. The most absurd is probably Samsung's Knox that trips when you unlock(iPhone works fine after resetting it even if you jailbreak it). And on top of that every countries NFC programming is region specific. Hongkong Knox can do Octopus, Taiwan Knox can do Easycard, Japan can do osaifu keitai(probably not stored in knox though).

This is not entirely Googles fault, but they deserve a pretty huge share of the blame. At least for the fragmentation of the payment SE solutions. And again, they've had 3 or 4 iterations of Google Pay in the way.

with gcc you can also use #pragma gcc optimize or __attribute__(optimize(...)) for a similar effect.

It is not 100% bug free (at least it didn't use to) and often it prevents inlining a function into another having different optimization levels (so in practice its use has to be coarse grained).

What difference does it make? They could still mine their data and favor their own white label products? And it's not like Amazon and Walmart and NewEgg (ya they're a marketplace too now) don't have a vetting process when someone asks to become a seller.

My bet is Target is just starting to scale up and they're simply not ready for opening it up fully yet. Though its possible that they are also hoping to differentiate themselves with having a more curated set of 3rd party sellers.

But bottom line, they've been a marketplace since 2019, so it's incorrect to say they aren't.

> web apps aren't constrained to the paradigm of saving and loading files.

How is reading and writing bytes to FS that different from doing the same on a network stack? In fact I'm puzzled by your post which seems to imply that a 'database' -- a store for structured data -- can't be written over a file system.

> The problem is there's no obvious place on the filesystem to put that information, or way to tell the OS about changes as they happen.

A thin layer of abstraction over FS seems reasonable, possible, and frankly ancient tech: they are called databases.
