> But let me opt out

It seems to me that you can opt out. You can use the "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" setting in `about:preferences`. Or you can use the exact policy currently under discussion: `DisableAppUpdate`. Or there is another policy called `ManualAppUpdateOnly` [0].

> (Mozilla, are you listening?)

Why yes, we are listening. We have heard many people request the ability to disable automatic updates, which is why we have the options that I mentioned above. If you feel that these options don't meet your needs, we would really appreciate you filing a bug [1]. We will get to it fastest if you put it in the correct component (which for this issue is `Toolkit::Application Update`).

> for the love of god please don't override my preferences back to automatic updates when you decide to change the UI of preferences.

I'm guessing that you are referring to when we removed the "Never install updates" setting [2]? This wasn't fundamentally a UI change. We had several good reasons to remove the underlying pref. Naturally, that meant that the UI for that pref went away as well. I won't spend a lot of time getting into our reasoning here, but we would be happy to discuss it with you if you want to chat with us about it. You can find us in the `#install-update:mozilla.org` channel on https://chat.mozilla.org

Yes freedom means good people can do good things and bad people can do bad things. It's almost impossible to craft laws that only restrict the bad people without reducing the freedom of good people.
Unless we get something better sounding than "heterogeneous CPU topology", I'm going to go with big.LITTLE. I know it's incorrect to apply it outside of ARM processors, but it's also not 13 syllables and it's more likely that someone will know what I'm talking about.
They are almost 2x as power efficient.
The biggest issue with inline styles is you can't use media queries or pseudo-classes like hover, focus, etc, which effectively means you can't build anything of substance with them.

Agree that if inline styles offered all of the features you get when writing your CSS in a stylesheet that it would be a compelling option because of the simplicity, even though the verbosity would be a big knock against.

In the 1960s, os compat was your problem as the end user too. There wasn't the strict divide between OS code and user code in the same way. The 360/91 that Tomasulo's algorithm originally shipped on didn't even have an MMU to separate your code from the kernel.

Additionally, compiler tech wasn't anywhere near where it was today, and high perf code was written in ASM. Therefore existing code would have to be rewritten to use more registers, but the 360/91 ran existing code just fine (which was very important for the 360/91's main customers).
Well, you shouldn't deceive yourself about your goals. I don't think a goal that involves other people is inherently bad. Nothing wrong with wanting to impact the world IMHO.

Unless you create a game that has infinite replayability and you find playing it fun you're right that game development is ultimately FOR someone else. But there is nothing wrong with that.

Ultimately you have to find a project whose goal is worth the effort. Honestly part of why I got out of game development was because I wanted some more reasonable projects.

I have a sibling that works for a large multinational corporation and does sourcing for products. To sell the exact same item successfully in Asia, Europe and North America, there is a certain amount of packaging that the customer expects for the price of the product. Asia is the lowest, Europe is in the middle, and North America is the highest.

It is, apparently, a cultural thing.
I asked myself the same thing when DDR4 came out. I was looking forward to skipping it, but Ryzen was able to unofficially use ECC ram so that intrigued me. DDR5 will be able to have larger sizes for ram as well if I remember correctly.
> 64-bit computer with a 64-bit Windows can handle so much RAM memory as 192 GB!

Can anyone explain from where this number comes from?

on 32bits you can address 4GiB, but using 64bits you are able to address 16EiB
38bits is enough to address 256GiB
so 192GiB doesn't look like any technical limitation
The primary difference with other languages is not the availability of features - in general, pretty much every major language has almost all what you might need - but the differences in bundling. Many other languages have larger standard libraries, so things that might be "yet another dependency" in npm would be part of the standard distribution in other languages; and there are different approaches to bundling, as the same thing that might be dozens of dependencies in npm would be distributed and maintained as a single large package elsewhere.
For a different meaning of "Ultimate" ThinkPad than mine. <grin>

I purchased the previous version of their "tech" mini laptop the GPD Micro PC.

Most of the preorder/first batch shipped with a defective battery that couldn't charge if it ever dropped to zero. After waiting months for a replacement battery I had to install it myself, only to find out that the replacement battery had the same issue. Tossed the thing in a drawer and haven't tried using it since.

Based on the other issues I have seen from r/GPD on Reddit, I think QA/testing is basically non-existent on these products. If you are lucky and get a good one from the factory they aren't bad, but issues are rampant.
Sad news. RIP, Ms. McCorduck.

The result was “Machines Who Think: A Personal Inquiry Into the History and Prospects of Artificial Intelligence” (1979), a chronicle of past attempts to mechanize thought.

I was first introduced to her name when I read a book she co-wrote along with Ed Feigenbaum - The Fifth Generation: Artificial Intelligence and Japan's Computer Challenge to the World[1]. It took me a while to later realize that she also wrote another book that was sitting on my shelf waiting to be read. That being Machines Who Think. I feel a bit sad now in acknowledging that the book is still sitting there waiting to be read. :-(

His point, stated with a bit too much ad hominem, is that with such a serialization you can scaffold entire dynamic web apps which can include form submission where the form dynamically updates based on rules & current state, uses a configurable method, and more, whereas DOM is inherently a "view" and has no concept of state

Interestingly, accounting the duration and density of events:

Voice aside, I think it's unlikely purely because Mandalore is an absolute upload machine, he makes very high quality content and uploads regularly. Sseth less so lately, but the games he plays require insane investment of time and effort. Like, yeah, there was 4 month gap between the Amazing Cultivation Simulator video and the one before it, but having watched it it's obvious why(in fact I'm impressed it only took him 4 months). Mandalore usually plays games to completion, but doesn't get so incredibly deep onto them as Sseth does.
For me at least, this xkcd graphic really made clear how anthropogenic climate change is truly unprecedented in the planet's history - it's the massive rate of change. And it's going to be impossible for the biosphere to adapt well to so sharp a spike.

I feel I need to reply with my thoughts.

- Vault is not niche - it’s THE way to manage pki and credentials if you’re half serious about security.
Which is why you’re now are starting to see managed vault.

- Consul - EVERYONE should use service discovery, cloud or not. It’s indispensable for numerous reasons. If you doubt it’s relevance, check out the Kubernetes integration work - there’s a reason for that focus.
You need service discovery if you operate at any sort of scale, spanning multiple providers and teams (Azure have a managed consul offering btw).

- “Trust” nomad? The team and I have used it since 0.4 and 0.6 in full production at two different companies. K8s as well, but it lacks the unix vibe of “one thing, and do it well”, which is something you get with nomad, consul & vault.
Nomad has been rock solid and I’ve so far had no reason to not “trust” it, 100s of thousands of deploys later.

- terraform spans many providers. It’s a good tool, not without it’s quirks. But I’d rather have one quirky tool than multiple quirky vendor ones. Also, we use TF for basically everything - even the stuff we host in-house through lxc and postgres for example, and through home grown providers as well.

I guess I didn't really consider the manual renaming via fxch the same kind of renaming, and that equally doesn't apply to these sorts of zeroing concerns.

That being said, it looks like my information is a little out of date, and they are renamed fully now and share a PRF with the AVX-512 K registers.
> Then again I don't make violent threats, spread misinformation, use racist language, or harass people.

You didn't did it yet. All of those are moving targets, and moving extremely fast especially in the US. I could say a dozen of totally non controversial statements in my country of residence (Japan), half of which being controversial or labeled some kind of -ist in my own country (France) and all of them warranting me cancellation in the US. At this rate what you are writing now will be categorized racist, threatening or harassing in a few years or so. Even your nickname could already be considered some kind of harassment as it single out kids born out of wedlock and is thus enforcing "the patriarchy". (Think it's far-fetched? Have a look at GitHub renaming the master branch)

Truthfully, a critical eye at the structure of US government sees an enormously poorly designed system on almost every front except stability. Unfortunately, even if a system could be designed that improves on the failures while maintaining the stability, the US government is so stable that it's nearly impossible to improve (as this requires constitutional amendments, the highest possible hurdle to clear)
I see your point and that's up to you. But I do think factoring in the end user's experience is important here if you want them to listen to your argument.

You're trying to sell someone that your idea is right, but having the desktop experience be a bit difficult (and putting it on the end user to deal with it) doesn't really help you in communicating your points. It also makes it harder for them to digest your content, therefore people might just skip over it.

But again, it's a personal blog so all these decisions are up to you and your liking!
> We're talking about a group of glorified hackers working as an organization.

Is that how they are? Seriously, I wonder about their organizational culture. Many security firms are very corporate. Many such firms in Israel come out of their military, which suggests a different culture. Some are a bunch of hackers, but it would be hard to be effective in selling to and retaining large institutional customers, or even running your own organization from day to day. And how large are they?

> You really think they won't be able to aquire what they need?

They expose themselves to lawsuits - they are trying to operate in the legal business domain. And again, acquisition is only a fraction of IT (see the GP).
Not just pork, but also more productive forms of legislative compromise would be affected by such limitations.
> It's just a silly idea, the economics will never work.

I am aware that this idea is silly. That's why I started with "my naive mind..." But let's keep going with the thought experiment while we are here.

> Helium is too expensive

Significant new sources have been found in Africa, this might help. However, if you were always over the ocean, and fully automated, I see no reason why hydrogen wouldn't be practical. Also, the hybrid ships I've read about all had a closed-loop helium system.

> they have trouble flying high enough to get above bad weather.

Agreed, this is the main problem of which I am aware. It would take billions in development and might not ever work. The benefit of staying over oceans and being fully unmanned might mitigate some risks. We never had orbital-class rocket boosters that could land before, now we do. "Impossible" things are sometimes possible.

The main crux of this idea to me was that there are some benefits to having one player, Amazon, be a such a large shipping consumer. It would be neat if our species derived some benefit from that level of concentration. Amazon could be working on moonshot type projects in shipping. The hybrid airship was just one thought.

edit: oops, just realized that user Ancapistani made a great case for hydrogen as well

I don't understand why people talk about crypto with such venom in their tone. Yes there are scams but there is legitimately interesting innovation happening too.

Interesting mathematic, economic, and computer science ideas are being explored and tested. In the future it may be possible to have a global financial system where the users are in control of their own funds. Isn't that something worth exploring?

It's all anecdotal, but having been full time RVing for several months now after selling our house time has slowed to a crawl. Before we sold our house the days flew past at 100mph. It's amazing how little control we can exert on our own perception of the flow of time.
Unfortunately, saying that something is "illegal by design" is not usually an effective defense.

This is just the kind of thing that cryptocurrencies need to contend with if they want to be used everywhere. Either they need to comply with the existing financial regulations or become powerful enough that they can change the financial regulations.
This is it. You want to make the game at least a little fun at first, but at some point you have to make your users feel dissatisfied in order to get them to spend. Much like Facebook needs to keep their users angry and depressed to keep them coming back. Hyper-optimizing anything for profit is never about creating an experience your customers will love, in my experience.

It is the nature of compromise for 50-60 people. The thing that is more stupid in my mind is that they all only care about getting their pork barrel.

Could you explain your thinking a bit?
It's a gamble. Opportunity cost it's a real thing.

The risk/benefit ratio will depend on the career. In IT, in a lot of jobs, you can have a competitive salary with Bootcamps and self-taught skills.

Now ageism it's a thing... but at the same time one that plays in your favor, usually companies that only hire early-20s, tend to be exploitative or abusive (pizza instead of proper extra hours payments, etc).

I will say it's only worth it if you see your college studies more like a self-development thing rather than just a multiplier on your salary.

I'd love to link things in the journal. Here's an example of what I mean.

First I create some entries...

character named "Rocky"
city named Snootville
bar named "Drunken Pug"
character named "Nick"

But then I want to do some little associations like this...

Drunken Pug is noisy <arbitrary attribute, not just gender related>
Drunken Pug at Snootville
Rocky likes perfume <another arbitrary attribute>
Rocky likes Drunken Pug <Show character and location associations>
Nick likes Drunken Pug
Nick hates Rocky

This lets me define relationships as well as attributes, and doesn't limit me to just gender related ones. Gender is just one of many attributes one may have, and may or may not have any relation at all to gameplay. Rocky's gender is secondary to the fact that they like perfume for example.

And by showing that Nick hates Rocky, but they both like the Drunken Pug (which is noisy), we've got a whole scenario defined for a DM. And given Rocky likes perfume, well there's the reason for the conflict right there if you want. "Nick didn't hear Rocky enter the Drunken Pug, but his nostrils flared at the scent of their cheap perfume..."

You could do a lot with a sort of "contains" relationship too. Create an island, which contains a city, which contains a district, which contains a neighborhood, which contains an inn.
You will notice the expression "in his prime". John Updike was not then among the dead people. And nobody was forcing anyone to read his books. I don't think he was on anyone's curriculum in those days.

Having said that, you are on to something: literary culture has definitely undergone some fragmentation. Time can't run a book review and set the agenda for book buyers across the country--anyway, I think they can't.

I've had 2 cornea replacements. In 5-10 years I'll need them replaced again, (and repeat until I die or go blind).

I was freaking out for 6 months about the entire operation. The more research that I did, didn't help. Even support groups that had gone through it didn't help. I was terrified.

The first eye:
I took Xanax before the procedure, and they gave me something to calm me down. I was partially aware of life for 10 minutes after I was almost home.

The second eye:
I didn't take Xanax, and partway through the procedure I woke up enough to be able to feel them working in my eye. I was calm and not bothered by it. It felt more like a tugging and pulling (like how your foot associates your shoe-laces being tied); but I was calm. The doctor told me to stop moving my eye. They must have given me something more, because I don't remember anything else.

It's an out-patient procedure.

If you are in a similar position and have ANY questions, I'll talk to you about it.

There will be a hundred people who say: "If I can do it, anybody can!" I don't want to be dismissive about your feelings. I was in horrible shape before the procedure.

But I will be honest with you and talk about it if you want.
Thanks. That is indeed good news.
