1. What? How is a fleshed out API dedicated to presenting websites "less general"?

2. Are you talking about Custom Tabs or Safari Services? Because Safari Services handles deep links fine...

3. Custom tabs work with Firefox if enabled in Settings

I mean Custom Tabs, like most of Google's efforts on Android start, is a half-baked concept. And like most of Google's efforts on Android, there is a chance that they will actually flesh it out, and there's a chance they might not and it'll just kinda exist and undergo death by a thousand small-but-unaddressed bugs...

SFSafariViewController had its teething issues back in the day but Apple worked on it until it became something something most apps use, most people use, and it's seamless enough they don't know they're using it (especially because it supports everything Safari does, from ad blocking to reader mode)
None of those seem terribly good differentiators:

Autopilot - They don't seem particularly advanced, and there are two main types of drivers. Those who never use autopilot (so it's not a selling feature) and those who overrely on it (which leads to crashes, bad PR and lawsuits)

Superchargers - Musk says they're going to open it up to all EVs by 2022.

Status Symbol - Where are you that a Tesla is a status symbol? I mean, for a while it was because it was the only EV, but now that there are competitors it seems to be losing out.

Luxurious ride - I've only been in Model 3s, but it didn't seem that luxurious. Plenty powerful, but I expect that to be true of any EV. The fit and finish didn't strike me as on par with, say, a 'vette. Certainly, if you compare it to cheaper cars it should stack up (isn't a Model 3 still more expensive than a 3 series?). But against comparably priced cars, it seems to lose out.

I will admit that I find the giant touchscreen a huge turnoff. So it's possible that I am overly harsh on the luxuriousness.

No, "Яуап" is better, I think.

We're starting to set up Gitpod for LAMP apps (e.g. Drupal), and it seems to work well with docker-in-docker running each part of that stack in their respective containers.
Surprising Biases That Could Hold You Back
> I tried to find the tweet, but it was succinctly put ~"it's said people in Los Angeles love their cars, but people in LA have no choice but to own a car, it's not love, it is necessity".

This is the part that needs a study or survey to back it up.

If we're just throwing around anecdotes, I've both driven a car and taken the bus in a city that was known for its mass transit, and the mass transit sucked compared to being in a car.

> Yes.

And how about the rest? I'm just making sure we're being consistent, and that you optimize all your life choices to avoid any possibility of harming someone, no matter how remote or indirect.
... less overtly, gleefully evil? I don't have much positive to say about this administration, but for what it's worth, Trump tried to call the election in his favor and when certain states didn't go his way, he cajoled and threatened their officials. When that didn't work, he tried to get his vice president to overturn the results of state elections. When that didn't work, he whipped up a crowd to march on the proceedings, who literally called for his veep's head and stormed the building. I dunno what state rights you're interested in, but those aren't the actions of a federalist. He wants to be king, make no mistake.
Yes, every bit helps. While I took a 100% pay cut to work on D, there are other bills, like hosting service bills. We also have a few paid staff that donations and such pay for.
Does it matter how long it takes? Doesn't just total output matter?

Heck, "throw more servers at it" has been an accepted practice. Who cares if it takes 30 hours as opposed to 10 if you can have 3x the number of cars under construction at one time.
I still miss Visual Basic + WinForms, as a teenager it was such an easy way to put together a functional UI, I know it has it's detractors, but I can't think of anything I've used since that was quite so fun to use and so quick to get up and running (if anyone knows of something - I'd be very keen to learn of it!)
Disposable income in the US is at record highs, both at the median and average, inflation adjusted. It has not gone down.

And the median and average for disposable income is a lot higher in the US than in Europe. US disposable income is only comparable to the most affluent nations of Europe: Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland.

Americans waste an enormous amount of money on consumer garbage. Until recently it was very common for households to have $150-$200 / month cable or satellite TV plans. It's still common, just slightly less so thanks to Netflix etc. $200-$300 family smartphone plans are common.

Americans also flip in and out of cars frequently, losing huge sums of money doing it. And they buy ridiculously over-priced new vehicles, which they keep for relatively short periods of time.
The fact that even BMW created an abominably ugly electric car is proof enough for me that it was an active decision to uglify them as a disincentive to purchase.

BMW must have been in a very difficult spot to release that swollen pug-face of a car into public view.

It's "smart" business, but "smart" business almost always overlaps entirely with "X unfriendly" (where X = consumer, environment among others).
Hm, as far as I can tell a M1 Max Macbook pro costs like $3k+ (the config used in the link is like $4k). how do you figure that?
You might be overthinking this. I agree with the philosophy that stricter is better, but in this case what do you expect broken hints to do?

They’re not used for rendering, they’re used for figuring out what to fetch. A HEAD request would be far less efficient than knowing ahead of time what to fetch: 1 request versus 2N+1 requests.

What you suggest sounds all fine but the entire web is user input for a browser, so no matter what, you need to define how to fail. If you can fail gracefully, you might as well do so, because a failure might not even be triggered by bad code/configuration on your side but simply by flaky network issues.
I disagree with this perspective. I think it's important to recognize that the M1 is a System on a Chip (SoC), not simply a CPU. Comparing the Apple M1 to "mid-range 8-core AMD desktop CPUs from 2020" is not comparing apples to apples. The M1 Max in the Geek Bench score has 10 cores whereas the AMD desktop CPUs you mention have 8-cores. That would be more of an apples to apples comparison.

Where the M1 architecture really shines is the collaboration between CPU, GPU, memory, SSD, and other components on the SoC. The components all work together within the same 5nm silicon fabric, without ever having to go out to electrical interconnects on a motherboard. Thereby saving power, heat, etc.

What you lose in repairability/upgradability, you gain in performance on every front. That tradeoff is no different than what we chose in our mobile devices. If repairability and upgradability are more important to you, then definitely don't buy a device with an Apple M1; absolutely buy a Framework laptop (https://frame.work).
Same kind of idea - trick the body into creating something that will help itself, but somewhat different mechanism.
Most people buying a 3/Y are probably the people that only considered at most $35k car pre-Tesla, but now that they're trendier and electric (saving on gas bringing the price down at least $5k over the lifetime of the car), will buy the Tesla to be part of the club and the ride will be better than the cars they considered before. It also helps that people like simplistic design now more than ever, so antiquated interiors with loads of buttons to learn and keep in mind don't add to the appeal for all the millennials shopping for a luxury car.
> Why does the task of organizing workers promote corruption in the U.S. more than in Germany?

That task doesn't.

(Neither does the task of law enforcement, or government, or corporate management.)

America’s corruption isn't task specific.
Owning a large piece of land somewhere remote with urban infrastructure as you see a lot in NA is also incredibly expensive, yet these places are rather cheap due to heavy subsidies. At least they're cheap until the infrastructure maintenance bill comes around. Strong towns has a good article on this: https://www.strongtowns.org/the-growth-ponzi-scheme/
Are these two the only option ?
Something about CadQuery still feels a little off, but it's the only CAD tool I've found that really ticks all the boxes that I want, so I will nonetheless happily give it the prestigious "Least Bad According To Me" award.
Somewhat surprising that this is an issue with JetBrains, given that they are based in Eastern Europe, and would probably have more direct experience of these sorts of problems than US or UK based companies. OTOH maybe it's just a scale thing - bigger companies have more resources to handle these sort of cases, regardless where they're based (not that they always do...)
A new 'Weex',like Alibaba before, boast to the sky.
Sounds like a blast! I took a couple performance driving courses on a racetrack with Formula Ford racers. Scared me pretty good, but I had a fantastic time.

Fear, though, is what kept me from getting decent lap times. With a simulator, that is no barrier.
(2) doesn't seem relevant, as generating hydrogen happens whenever electricity is cheap and charging cars happen whenever the care pulls up.

Other that that, I thought hydrogen was cheaper than batteries. But I don't know much about it.
> It was the flippant reference to Spain regarding chronology that I took umbrage with. Thats ~700 years after the area of Spain was named Spain (Latin Hispaniola in the Roman empire, iirc).

Obviously the land area of Spain has "always" existed. I think referring to "Spain's existence" as the socio-political entity established during the Reconquista is a reasonable position for a throw-away line during a HN discussion.
So it is measured with a phone app and not e.g. an OBD dongle with built-in cell modem? Why not install the app on a second phone which always gets left at home?
The very beginning of the labor movement was super violent- pitched battles to keep scabs from crossing picket lines. Organized crime came from the same neighborhoods and communities as striking union workers, so they helped provide muscle for the workers. Then they stuck around.

I think this is mostly a relic of the past though- most union members are in government or the service industries now, without any of those ties or history.
I still miss Visual Basic + WinForms

If you don't mind running Linux binaries in Windows, then take a look at GAMBAS, a solid, contemporary Object Basic VB equivalent:

While it's great there are efforts here, it looks like it's being over-architected, over-engineered, such that people don't own it. This leads to uneasy privacy concerns and dystopian feels. I'm not sure what the solution is, and at least this is an attempt, so at least there is that.
> hand made

It was most likely CNC made and hand assembled. The guy doing the assembly would have no clue what to do without the CNC’d parts. The guy designing the CAD files would have no clue how to assemble the CNC’d parts. Neither of them know how to install the cabinets in your bathroom. This used to all be done by the same guy.

The orgs with unecessarily complex and unecessary setups does not make sense though. Aren't the more experienced devs responsible for that? If so, shouldn't they have the wisdom to avoid those newbie pitfalls?
I guess this preliminary research may point to the eventual removal of the "stoner" gene from the pool? Maybe future socialists will adjust accordingly and promulgate the slacker gene in some other form? Yes - I'm being facetious.

However, isn't it generally accepted that smoking cigarettes decreases sperm count? Reading the paper now, but wonder if they were able to control for marijuana users who also consume tobacco.
Broken access control is things like direct object vulnerabilities and authorisation bypasses _as well_ as broken authentication controls.

I'm not saying you're wrong, and agree that security should never be a 'premium' product, but it's important to identify that it isn't _just_ limited to authentication.

That being said, messing with SAML/Oauth assertions is generally pretty fruitful when pentesting, and MFA is something I'd recommend in almost all public facing applications.
> , Tesla is by far the car makers with the least debt

In stagflation, preexisting debt is a blessing.
For one data point: I lived in London without a car for several years, and enjoyed it. A lot of people do. One big thing you give up in car-dependent areas is interesting walks. Everything is super-sized to accommodate vehicles, and at a human scale, it's boring. In an older city designed for people, every 10 feet there's something new to catch your eye.

There are tradeoffs, but I much preferred being able to take the train or bus and relax and zone out rather than have spend the entire trip in the vigilant state you need while driving. And while cycling, yes, you have to be vigilant, but you're getting exercise too.

I'm at a point in my life where, I probably don't want to live in the big city as much. (Funnily enough, when I was much younger I never thought I would want to.) But anyway, I'd still much prefer to live in a denser, more walkable suburb, which tend to be unfortunately hard to find and expensive in the US for reasons that are probably already all discussed in comments in this thread.

The linked article has some prose about their concerns with the merger: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-53024932 with the only information being:

>It is not the first time concerns have been raised about the Facebook-Giphy deal, with questions raised over what level of access Facebook would have to its competitor's data through the service.

And that a Senator raised some specific privacy concerns. Does Giphy have an economic presence in the UK? Does that affect how Facebook has to comply? It's a shame there weren't details on that in this article.
Please do elaborate on your take-home; in a profession with no formal credentials (i.e. no MSBE for SDEs), I don't mind putting a little skin in them game for the same purpose.
I was under the impression that CadQuery sort of obsoletes OpenSCAD. CadQuery uses an more capable geometry kernel: https://github.com/CadQuery/cadquery
a 4 year old workstation/HEDT that was widely viewed as being an out-of-band excellent performer for its time, and the laptop is outperforming it in multithreaded performance by almost a factor of 2, with half the (performance) cores, with no SMT.

yeah, that actually is fairly wild. Granted, there are good technical reasons there (lower memory bandwidth, the 1950X having a NUMA/NUCA arrangement that often hampers the ability to bring all the cores to bear on a single task, Zen1 having extremely high memory latency and cross-CCX latency in general, etc) but it still actually is a very impressive feat.
> When you live there and walk to your commuter train a gray november morning, it's a very different experience.

Still preferable, to me at least! Getting in to work and shucking off your mist-covered coat and making a nice cup of tea made it just fine.
So it sounds like you are in favor of free speech! Good for you.
What on earth makes you think they're "too far behind"? That concept baffles me. It's not like there are any network effects, and engineering something you know can be done is always a lot easier.

(The Supercharger network seems like it's going to be opened up in 2022)
Well, they did say "majority", which would be covered just by Chrome users alone. Granted, most sites aren't going to be willing to write off Safari users, so they are almost always going to be the ones you are waiting on.
Lol the amount of times I've seen a tweaker snoozing on my septa ride to work or some idiot going "hey I'm sorry to bother you folks but [insert fake sob story]". No thanks. Plus have you noticed there's a pandemic? The last thing I need is to be in a tube with strangers. Do you realize how miserable subway stations in east coast cities can get when the AC is broken? If they even have AC?

The whole system would need to be rebuilt for me to even consider going back to that.

Most riders before covid were office commuters. Now with remote work what reason is there for it to be there? Oh right for the guy asking for hand outs to ride it all the way up and down the line all day while no one does anything about it.

Trust me it's not an issue of denser housing. I do not want denser housing. I don't even want to know my neighbors exist. Seriously.

I lived in a dense city for a long time. It sucked.

My go-to for getting work done has been (and for the foreseeable future will still be) Fusion 360. I can't find a free alternative that is simultaneously batteries included, but also gets out of your way.

It makes me feel like a shill saying something so positive about expensive, proprietary software, but it works _really_ well for my usecases (3D printing, 2.5D and 3D woodcraft carving). Having CAD and CAM in the same package is absolutely killer for me.

In open-source land, though CadQuery is, like you say, the least worst of all the options. I just wish it had a CAM package integrated in there.
People also overlook the fact that Geekbench has generally favored Apple A-series CPUs. When the original M1 came out they were faster than 4800u Ryzens on Geekbench, while being slower on Cinebench. 4800u consumes more power, but is also a node behind.

Other benchmarks too have their biases. You can find plenty of discussion on this topic.

> then they might as well have not happened

"Might as well not" is different from "Did not". That's all I, and Mr Hawking, are saying. In fact, your first sentence is literally just a paraphrase of my quote from Hawking.

> You are making a very strong assertion that something did carry through

No, I most certainly did not.

All I said is, there could have been something, or could have not been. I did not say something did happen prior to the big bang, just that it is wrong to say that it could not have.
You probably misunderstood me, I never meant to say Polish Ł and Polish L are the same and have no reason to be distinguished. I meant Polish Ł is a direct counterpart to English L and only differs significantly by the sake of regional/historical shift in accents.

The problem is some software just has problems with non-English alphabets because, roughly saying, all the software was meant to only process English text historically and much of it still has not been fixed. Users of non-latin-based alphabets have been accustomed to this and have no problem writing "Иван" as "Ivan" (despite it normally reads even more different in English, more correct phonetic transliteration would be "Eevan"). Heck they even spell "Семён" (~"Semyon", the Russian counterpart to English "Simon") as "Semen" X-). But the users of diacriticized Latin somehow get surprised with this.

If I could travel back in time to when ASCII was designed and give the engineers a hint I would ask them to add first-class diacritics to their design so anybody would be able to add the slash for Ł, the umlaut for Ü, Ö or whatever using an extra byte. Sadly, even today we mostly encode Ü as a letter absolutely distinct to U rather than a combination of the latter with the umlaut even though Unicode allows doing this the latter way AFAIK.
There are two simple answers, one of which was mentioned already, in the comments and in the article:

> I can visit many European cities and find lovely parts of town to walk through

1. Cars. They have ruined walkable neighborhoods, and in the US there are artificial walkable shopping centers, but you have to drive ther anyway. Everything being spaced out affects the architecture/landscape.

2. Building technology and ethos. It seems to me modern buildings are not built to last, and this is on purpose. Of course this is a huge factor! Old villages around the world always had many buildings that were made to last. This automatically means you will think deeply on its aesthetics, its symbolism, etc. Nowadays it's just about getting it done, and having an indoor space, with the outside looking as plain as possible for buidling costs and speed. I really wish building tech would also explore extremely durable constructions at smaller scales for towns and such. This would force people to think seriously about outside look and feel.
For better or for worse, different civilizations took different approaches to keeping written records. The Chinese, many European people, the Arabs, the Persians, the Indians, the Mayans, the Aztecs, many African people all had detailed written records. So we tend to tell history from their point of view, since this is the info we have.

Do we have written info from the Native Americans who met the Vikings or from the Caribbean peoples about Columbus? Not that I know of. We have the Vikings view of things and Columbus' view, so we tend to rely on them.
> Oh, you think your wife doesn't "charge" you for sex? How quaint and romantic! Of course she does. You're paying more rent. You're paying for more food. You're paying with expensive gifts, trips, and most importantly, you're paying to raise one or more kids.

What a strange perspective. In the US at least, having a wife makes you richer, as most women work, and you still live in a one bedroom, so your total income is significantly higher but your costs are only marginally higher. Getting married to another member of the workforce is a great way to build wealth.
What I've read lines up with the three points you've made, so I tend to agree. However:

What we're seeing in Australia is federal government support for hydrogen power after over a decade of strong resistance to alternatives (specifically renewables: wind and solar), and no support for electric vehicles at all. I'm definitely mixing together a few different areas of power / electricity / energy here, but the fact the Australian government is seizing upon hydrogen just makes my cynical mind assume that hydrogen manufacture and usage fits better with the status quo and therefore is easier to understand by those in power - ie. centralised / consolidated control as opposed to more consumer-level control.

This could be Hydrogen's killer feature in the end.
