> I think Safari, flaws and all, is pretty much the only browser that has any weight against Chrome.

This is a terrible argument. That an inferior, proprietary, broken browser made by a company trying to cripple the web to protect their lucrative walled garden should be more popular in order to prevent Google from having more market share just for reasons?

Chrome became popular and is popular because it works. It's cross-platform, it implements all the newest standards, it's just a good product.
I want everything in the browser too - except the ads.

And FF isn't keeping up :( WebUSB for example.
Rent goes up every time the contract is renewed, mortgage payment stays the same for the whole 30 year loan.
Really interested to try this out. I crank out between 5 and 15 content pieces each week (blog posts, ebooks, white papers) and am constantly looking for ways to optimize my workflow. It has never occurred to me to modify column width to get a "jump start" on the editing process. Excited to futz around with this tomorrow.
Which your source states it would be.
I agree and it is an unpopular option on HN, but I think it is a feature that I know can use any app in the App Store without having to give out my email.

For me, the consumer choice is made when choosing whether I want that walled garden experience with iOS or a more flexible experience with Android.
Seems like they still require Google Play billing as an option, so I wouldn't see any benefit here as I'd have to support all of the processors still.

Though if they're going to do that, at least let the devs show the prices to the user (e.g. I can charge ~12-27% less using Stripe). People can then "vote with their wallets" on which method is more convenient.
Because it's just like the question about teenagers and sex: irrespective of whether we think they should, they're going to do it anyway. So all we can do is allow them to make informed decisions and urge them to protect themselves.
Sounds like you were working with Weta Workshop (props and costumes), not Weta Digital. As I understand it, they are separate companies.
No. Whatever the state of mind of both parties, Grosskreutz and Huber were responsible for engaging Rittenhouse in combat (in the second encounter). Even if the initial encounter were the fault of Rittenhouse (I don't believe that it was), he was running toward police in a non-threatening manner. You aren't allowed to attack a fleeing person, much less one clearly attempting to turn himself in, which is what Huber and Grosskreutz did. When you do so, you are responsible for the encounter and can't claim self-defense. The only scenario in which they could is if they then attempted to flee and Rittenhouse continued the attack, which didn't happen (and in which case all parties would be guilty).
I am in this group. I scraped together enough cash for a smartphone my senior year of high school (2009-2010). Before that, I used AIM and Twitter via SMS. And uploaded photos to Facebook via MMS, I believe.

> the Cryptopunks are [...] by all accounts a labour of love

Just for the benefit of anyone else looking in on this, these are cryptopunks: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=cryptopunk&iax=images&ia=im...

Even if you buy wholesale into the narrative about the history of cryptopunks (and to be clear, this is a deliberately chosen narrative, the cryptopunk creators were not against making money and they gave away a large percentage of their tokens in part because they hoped the tokens they held would increase in value if they became more popular) -- but even if you take everything about their history at face value, you're still left with:

A) Pieces that do not have much artistic value outside of their position and relevance inside the ecosystem in which they were created: nobody is going to seriously claim that cryptopunks are themselves great works of art, any artistic value comes from the creation of the NFT model for generative/mass-produced artwork,

B) Pieces that are definitively mass-produced by design, and that served as a template for how other mass-produced collections could work,

C) Pieces that have been largely divorced from any artistic message that the original pieces held; the evolution of a piece designed to evoke a counter-cultural punk aesthetic into a piece that can only be controlled and owned by the richest members of society is its own possibly unintentional statement on the state of NFTs, and

D) Pieces that are significant specifically because they formed a model for other even more derivative pieces by other creators who lack even the benefit of imagination about the crypto-ecosystem itself. Cryptopunks are significant because they proved the viability of other collections like bored apes and their ilk, products that are entirely devoid of any kind of meaningful social statement or craftmanship. And one has to wonder what the actual artistic value or craftmanship is in building that model and why we should be impressed with the creators behind it.

And even if you're optimistic about all of this and think the pieces are genuinely significant and meaningful, you still wouldn't compare cryptopunks to a hand-crafted watch. They're at best historically significant, but they don't demonstrate any particularly breathtaking artistic skill, and any artistic message they were trying to make has been largely invalidated by the evolution of the space into the least "punk" community in tech. The nicest thing I can say about cryptopunks is that they have inadvertently turned into an effective satire of what the NFT community thinks about itself.

Here's a tutorial I found online that achieves a similar effect in under 15 minutes: https://youtube.com/watch?v=XojsUNBLfic

It takes the presenter about seven minutes to go from "image opened in Photoshop" to "comic-style effect applied to image", and that includes a verbal explanation of each step. (The rest of the video talks about things like making sure the image is an adequate size, and adding extra elements like borders and dialogue balloons.)

Apple's the one ignoring them by shipping them a broken browser.
A recommendation predicated with "Get a Mac first for development work"?

Last I checked Safari unlike Firefox and Chrome is not cross platform.

Small aside:
Webkit browsers used to have problems with CSS (especially things involving 3d) when hardware acceleration is unavailable. Spent so many hours back in the day debugging why certain CSS effects did not work. Switched to Firefox and worked like a charm... Only really understood the problem when I eventually switched to a system with HW acceleration support.

The difference is that the government is, in some sense, unaccountable by fiat. At least with private actors we can have the possibility of accountability through legal recourse.

Thanks for that, I really wish everybody could stop classifying the burning of biomass as "renewable" in these discussions. Yes, I understand that it's part of the carbon cycle, but burning it still results in more CO2 in the air than before. In other words, it's a net negative for carbon sequestration.
Just wanted to corroborate this. I think this feedback is spot-on! I was thinking of sharing my perspective, but that would be repetitive. This nails it!
The burden isn't on me, a fan of vaccines that have documented high performance. (There are many of them. They aren't hard to find. Try medRxiv.)

The burden is on you, a person who seems to believe without evidence that the COVID-19 vaccines prevent people from becoming infected with COVID (they don't) perpetually (they don't). There are many fully vaccinated people dying with COVID because (as with most other COVID deaths!) of serious comorbidities.

The best current evidence is that the COVID-19 vaccines have a good effect on preventing hospitalization and death, little effect on preventing infection, and all benefits attenuate materially at between 3 and 9 months.

It's an insanely mediocre product, which is fine because COVID is mediocre at killing people. But its mediocrity means the mandates -- especially for under 30s, especially for young men, especially for those rich in IgG antibodies -- is unjustifiable.

That's the thing: it would not be 12-27% less. Using another payment provider only chops off 4% points from Google's cut, the remaining 11-26% is considered a "service fee" unrelated to payments processing, and still has to be paid.

And it's what Apple will do as well.
Thank you. It took alot of effort, resources and funding as well :) I appreciate comments
> How many movies and shows are there on Netflix about drug lords, serial killers etc vs saints and good people?

There are plenty of popular bad guy stories, but I think that far overstates the case: The Bible and Quran are the biggest sellers and over a billion people (very rough guess) read them weekly, if not more often. Most stories, including in film, have positive protagonists. For action, consider LotR, superhero movies, etc. For history, most war movies, biographies, etc.

Maybe your queue is different? :)

I happened upon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_Civil_War and it feels like it's foreshadowing our current situation.

> A first major incident ensued early in 1927, when members of Hermann Hiltl's Frontkämpfervereinigung ("Front Fighters Union" — a paramilitary association likewise affiliated with the conservative camp) shot and killed an eight-year-old boy and a war veteran marching with the Schutzbund in a peaceful counter-demonstration in Schattendorf (Burgenland).[citation needed] In July, three defendants in the case were acquitted, which led to outrage in the left-wing camp. On 15 July 1927, a general strike occurred, and demonstrations took place in the capital. After the storming of a police station, security forces started shooting at demonstrators. An angry group of people then set fire to the Palace of Justice (Justizpalast), seen as a symbol of a flawed and partial judicial system. Altogether, 89 people (85 of them demonstrators) lost their lives in this July revolt, and many hundreds suffered injury. Surprisingly, the violence soon died down and the factions took their battle from the streets back into the political institutions...

> On 4 March 1933, Christian Social Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuß suspended the Austrian Parliament. In a close vote (on railway workers' wages) in the National Council, each of the three presidents of parliament resigned their position in order to cast a ballot, leaving nobody to preside over the meeting. Even though the bylaws could have resolved this situation, Dollfuss used this opportunity to declare that parliament had ceased to function, and blocked all attempts to reconvene it, also threatening to use military force against the parliamentarians, should they try to reconvene. The Social Democratic Party had thus lost its major platform for political action. The conservatives, facing pressure and violence not only from the left but also from Nazis infiltrating from Germany, could now rule by decree on the basis of a 1917 emergency law, without checks on their power, and began to suspend civil liberties. They banned the Schutzbund and imprisoned many of its members...

That’s a matter of forced mixing. The temp coming out of the hot water heater itself should have very little to do with the faucet temp in 2021. (Yes I realize it still does)
Apple takes 30% for the purchase of an app. Whether 30% is reasonable may be debatable, but that they get a cut is not (their App Store).

The post-purchase 30% cut amounts to adding or enabling content/function to the app post-purchase, meaning developers can put off charging users for some of the app until later, at which point it's fair for Apple to still get their cut - lest developers (like Epic) give away the app and effectively charge for the app later to bypass the 30% cut. E-books are, in a reasonable sense, part of Amazon's Kindle app. Movies are part of a video rental app. Power-ups and other features are part of the Fortnite app. As Apple is only charging for what is in essence part of an app, not for non-app stuff like chairs or rides or food, it's a not-unreasonable attempt to prevent developers from giving away apps and charging later to avoid the 30% App Store service charge.

Seems this is a moment that Apple, Google, and others really need to win, lest practically all apps be "free with in-app purchase to do anything meaningful".
Oh my god. That's amazing. I would never have believed that's possible.

I got large numbers of 1970s garage-sale speakers, hooked them up to a modern multichannel home theater receiver and add a pair of powered subwoofers. I matched the stereo pairs but figured the room correction can handle the difference between the backs and the fronts. My center is a ridiculous speaker you'd expect to see on the stage at a live music bar that I recovered from an abandoned building and replaced the crossover.

It kicks ass!

If you compare 128 kbps MP3 files to a CD the difference is night and day. 320 kbps MP3 is transparent, 192 kbps is not bad for most recordings. As I am writing this I am working on a python script that recompresses FLAC files from my music server to put on a USB stick for the car or for my Garmin watch. Right now the target is 192 kbps AAC for the car and the high end of the spectral band replication range (maybe 64-96 kbps) for the watch.

That's a bad comparison for many reasons. Hiv is not covid, the method of transmission - coughing is involuntary. Compared to your example it will be very difficult to prove intent. The result is not the same either, if no one actually even got sick then this is over reach. Where i live during that time period officers refused to wear masks unapologetically and continue to refuse the vaccine. Is knowingly refusing to protect people you're forcing to interact with you despite the fact that you're having frequent face to face interactions that increase transmission risk not a similar disregard for the health of others? It all seems very hypocritical and absurd.
The intentions that 3rd party has changed, but having a PI follow a suspect, or coercing (with money or threats) a CI to provide information predates computers and the Internet and probably the Industrial Revolution as a police tactic by a huge margin.

Purchasing "data" from a 3rd party is a modern Internet spin, but it's not like the concept is brand new to the law or the legal department.
> This doesn't really work in a lot of places in the world

Nothing will work in 100% of the world.

The point is, do it where it does make sense.
People pretty reasonably have strong feelings about the situation, and those feelings continue to be reasonable regardless of legal consequences. Legality, as always, does not imply morality - that's a critical concept that's frequently ignored in favor of scoring political points. For an example from another context: The fact that it is legal for private companies to censor users arbitrarily does not excuse them from criticism.

Yeah, hiring processes for Software Developers is just the pits. Due to accounting rules, most established companies don't want to hire full time positions anymore because it reflects as a recurring expense which counts against profit making management look bad. Contractors can be applied against capital expenses making the figures look a lot better. "Sure we spent $5 million extra on the project because contractors are expensive, but we made $3 million more in profits! What do you mean who will maintain it?"

The result is that we aren't maintaining core groups of subject matter experts anymore. Instead the idea is that teams are interchangeable and software should be well documented and replaceable. Developers are expected to be able to pick up immediately and need to have the skills ahead of time. So there is no mentoring, skills development, core subject matter experts, or entry level positions for college graduates in most companies.

This means that things will suck for anyone with less that two years experience. Also it means that employees will have zero loyalty and company IT culture will rot like an old tomato in the sun. However, once you get that initial experience you will be getting offers to apply constantly from your company's competitors looking for someone.

If you want to find a company to look for, the big banks and such will be a hard pull for entry level work. Working as a contractor or at a smaller company with poor capitalization may be easier to get into. Unfortunately degrees don't mean much anymore unless your senior project was something relevant to industry like Kubernetes, AWS, Kafka, etc...

Oh there’s this great thing called files.

You put your config in there and then you can copy them anywhere, even between AWS accounts. They’re even cloud agnostic so when you move to GCP they still work.

Files work great with fucking shell scripts, entirely compatible, it’s rumored that shell scripts beneath the hood are also files. https://github.com/brandonhilkert/fucking_shell_scripts

You can use FSS on docker, kubernetes, bare metal (otherwise known as computers), Windows, Mac, Amiga, VMS etc.

Plan9 which was made by the creators of Go works exceptionally well with files. Some people even say that AWS converts your LB config object to a config file for nginx when it’s provisioned.

If you want to get really crazy you can put all your files in one dir like /etc and then you can use this program grep to search all your configs at once. You can even use things like perl -pi to provide a programmatic interface to editing all your configs at once.
