A few experts believe no more boosters? So, eternal boosters are right around the corner then.

It amazes me anyone is still willing to use the E word on anything COVID related. It's just embarrassing at this point. The "experts" assured us just months ago the vaccines were 95%+ effective. The fact that effectiveness declined so fast surprised them and now they're trying to rewrite history to claim it was known all along.

There appear to be no experts in COVIDS, viruses or vaccines. They're all in denial that their self-proclaimed experts beliefs have been invalidated dozens of times over since the start of this.

Simple Tab Groups - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-gr...

It is what Firefox Tab Group / Panorama should always had been. It makes tab groups backup periodically so you will not loose them. I used this once to move tabs to a different computer, but it's good to know it's there. It also integrates with Tab Containers if you want it.
One of the first things I did after learning about - and getting excited by - Svelte, was to try and get my canvas library to play nicely with it.[1]

Given the rapid development Svelte has endured over the past 18 months I have no idea whether my solution still works. I'll have to revisit/review/retest it when I get a spare moment.

Before I saw your post, I was indeed about to ask "When did the word 'culture' replace 'entertainment'?"

In my country, where the same phenomenon happened ('divertissement' is now labelled 'culture'), I would say it was less than 10 years ago, perhaps closer to 5 years ago for a systematisation of the use.

During Covid-related lockdowns and other limitations, it reached new highs: how dared we limit access to the vital need which 'culture' is, how dared we forbid 'culture' people ('culture' producers (!)) to work for some time, and so on.

Doesn’t “celebrities eating bugs” reflect on the human condition?
Aren’t many companies normally located in the Silicon Valley now migrating to Texas, where the electricity infrastructure is wonky at best.
Could I ask why? do lifetimes not do it for you?
I’ve played with laravel, and yeh, I can see it’s really compelling. But my personal use case is that we’re a tiny WP agency, so that’s where all our skills are. I’ve got a head full of ideas for apps, and the least friction to get to prototype (and production!) is using what we know. I’ve been really surprised at how much WP gives us out of the box.

I would also think, that trying to keep up is the overloading thing. It's like walking into t a library and thinking you have to read all the books.
Yes, there is too much meaningless culture which is mere entertainment disguised as culture. But this is just a reality of living:

All things are wearisome,
more than one can say.

The eye never has enough of seeing,
nor the ear its fill of hearing.

What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.

Is there anything of which one can say,
“Look! This is something new”?

It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.

No one remembers the former generations,
and even those yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow them.

Good thing about Dark Reader is, that it is available for Firefox for Android.
Yes and after a while it isn't luck. Reportedly state actors and bigcorp even go so far as to decap chips, laser off security features/caps/whatever and do stuff like inspect the memory with a microscope.
There is another youtube channel that is even more impressive but Liveoverflow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FktI4qSjzaE has some videos defeating AES with device that makes it much easier.
> (Honestly, who uses bookmarks any more? They just turn into a bloated to-do list, hundreds of links you'll forget about until one day you try them and the domain no longer exists)

I still do but I absolutely agree with you. I'm still looking for a replacement though.
I do. The benchmark results itself is here: https://aws1.discourse-cdn.com/standard11/uploads/ocaml/opti.... This comes from the OCaml multicore monthly news, the october 2021 edition: https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/multicore-ocaml-october-2021/882.... The benchmark's repo is here: https://github.com/ocaml-multicore/retro-httpaf-bench. However that image is not the whole story, and there's a bit more info here: https://watch.ocaml.org/videos/watch/74ece0a8-380f-4e2a-bef5.... In that video, the author says that the result vary depending on the load (sometimes Rust Hyper can end up above OCaml httpaf eio), that OCaml currently uses an io-uring backend while Rust doesn't, and that the results are for single core as previous OCaml implementations are single-core themselves.

I do feel that this benchmark is incomplete. I'd like it to see the results while using all of the cores of a machine, and I'd like to see different type of loads. I do think that the results are impressive: performance between Go and Rust is great. I do hope that it stays this way with multicore.

My de-facto set of extensions:

- uBlock Origin

- Cookie AutoDelete

- "I Don't Care About Cookies" (It auto-OKs cookie consent banners)

- Archive.org's Wayback Machine (A must have in this era of link rot)

Optional:

- Tablist (easily lets me copy out all the URLs of open tabs for 'later')

- User Agent Switcher (Needed less these days, but useful for exploring the DOM of mobile versions of sites)

Additionally, I have written a launcher for Chrome that creates shortcuts for Chrome with the --user-data-dir parameter[1] to enable me to have 100% isolated browser identities. I create and tear these down on regular basis. I started doing this, when I realised that multiple Incognito mode sessions running simultaneously actually share the same cookies and local storage.

I have some sympathy for a media studies professor who appears to have no option, but I’m baffled why people are watching shows they don’t actually like. You don’t have to keep up with stuff just for the sake of keeping up. I log in to Netflix for weeks on end and see nothing new that appeals to me. Music is more reliable, and I’m incredibly grateful to music recommendation algorithms for finding me at least one new artist a week. I don’t sweat listening to their entire back catalogue and integrating it into some gestalt artistic identity to break out at parties though, I just like knowing it’s all there.

I think it boils down to thinking in composition (x has a y) vs inheritance (x is a y). I’m happy about protocols because most of the times, coming up with some pattern or order of inheritance using ABCs really feels beside the point of what I’m trying to achieve (stating that an object _has_ a specific set of attributes).
It's like any other table/model so you'd just go to the docs for the admin stuff and go from there
IMO, the benefits of HATEOAS are very much overblown - many circumstances you have full control over the version of both client and server, and all it is doing is adding an extra layer of indirection that allows extra complexity and ambiguity to sneak in. Instead of the client depending on a specific known API endpoint, it depends both on the endpoint you give it at runtime and the process that serves that endpoint to the client. And as a bonus, the client now "helpfully" obfuscates what endpoints it needs to render which pages - what you could figure out with straightforward grep for something like "api/v1/books" now needs a deeper understanding of the application.

Like, the way in which the client accesses the "deposits" functionality is either fixed or can dynamically change. If it's fixed, the indirection serves no purpose - just have the client do the thing in the one way that you ever have the client do the thing. If it can dynamically change, the state space involved can and often will grow out of control in a hurry, and I strongly suggest pushing back on designs that require structural dynamism like this.
And sometimes impossible so in many instances better not to legislate at all and let people work out their issues without the big clumsy hand of government.
Popup Statistics You Must Know in 2021
Mitchell Baker has repeatedly embarrassed Mozilla and failed in almost every way a CEO can fail. She is very obviously uninterested in Firefox and sees it just as a way to further her own influence amongst the Washington set she wishes she was really a part of. Mozilla not only has a "social justice" culture but openly talks about it all the time: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/leadership/mozilla-racia...

"We granted 33% of Mozilla Foundation funds to black-led tech and social justice initiatives. Unfortunately, we fell short of our 40% target."

The Mozilla Foundation is meant to be funding Firefox. That is its purpose. Instead it is using money raised for that purpose to perpetuate SJW culture and overt racism against white people.

The type of insidious and dishonourable mind games the Rust moderation team are playing here is exactly the sort of thing I've come to expect from Mozilla-associated projects. The apologetics for it in this thread are just wrong. My weapon of choice is Kotlin, made by Russians. Guess what: there's no moderation team, the community is fine and in the 10 years the project has existed I recall exactly zero community related dramas. None. Zero. Nada. This sort of thing isn't normal for programming languages and people trying to claim it is are wrong: it's normal for languages controlled by a very specific kind of person in a very specific region and subculture of America.

In contrast, Brendan Eich kept his politics private and actually cared about Firefox as a product and technology.

Well this is why it is a superpower. On such scaled applications a bug is simply lost in the system.
Cool! My ZSA Moonlander is actually going to arrive today so I'm pretty excited! First time to try a split a keyboard.

I'm not sure I buy this argument. Compiler feedback is 100% logical and deterministic. Human feedback, even when precise (which it often isn't) is still influenced by the whims of others. The programmer archetype finds the latter frustrating.
How Herpes virus is transported in the nerve to establish latency (2021)
I use a fairly standard suite of addons for Firefox, mainly for privacy and tab management:

NoScript, uBlock Origin, Multi-Account Containers, Skip Redirect, Neat URL, Tabhunter, MoveTab, Foxy Gestures, Stylus
So you're suggesting they support two different graphics stacks? Why? Or, rather, what for?
I agree, and I think that other commenter misunderstood the context of the OP’s question. I mean, they were right, Wordpress is a great cms for all those reasons, but I’ve become convinced that it is a viable option for app development, too. I’m certainly biased, and definitely see nails because I’ve got a hammer but even with this in mind I’ve been excited by the potential.

What motherboard did you get to have one terabyte of RAM? :D
There's too much of everything. Over the last 20 years everyone rushed to get everything onto the internet, so it's noisy, messy and can be overwhelming if you aren't careful. Personally, I like to subscribe to Netflix for 30 days a year, catch up on stuff, and then cancel my subscription. Same for Amazon Prime, HBO Max and Disney+. I feel lucky that I never got used to Spotify, because it means I save $11/mo that I can use to buy CDs from artists I know I like (and YouTube/KEXP/KCRW is far better at surfacing excellent music anyway). So I end up with CDs in the car, and listening to Youtube at home. It works. As for TV shows, most of them suck anyway.

I blacklist websites that I feel are bad for me using /etc/hosts, but I still consume too much news. I was thinking about this today and how to alleviate it without hiding my head in the sand. Honestly a weekly news magazine like The Economist would probably be enough.

Ideally I'd have a tool that lets me react once to a given news item and then track it over time, filtering out repetitive or meta news (especially news about other people's reactions to the news), show me only substantive changes over time, and ideally with a weight that (geometrically) increases with proximity. What is humbling is to realize how easily led we are, how things that seem so important, so vital, end up just...forgotten when the news dies down. It's actually quite scary when you think about it, almost as if your reactions to things aren't quite your own! This tool would help recover that control.
This looks great! Definitely brings Next and Remix to a pretty close level in this regard.
Bad websites using dark patterns to circumvent laws aren't a good criticism of law.

I'm so surprised that here in HN, I keep seeing comments complaining about "banners" disclosing the fact that every interaction with the website is monitored by probably every mega corp out there.

If you don't like the banners, tell the websites not to collect your data for profit, rather than complain about knowing that they do.
Edgar Dijkstra's 1988 Paper "On the Cruelty of Really Teaching Computer Science"

It's just a paper, but still I'd recommend it, because it was highly influential. It was indeed so influential that it has its own Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Cruelty_of_Really_Teach...

In the paper he argues that

- the computer industy has been progressing with exponential growth 1948-1988,

- will continue to do so for decades (he was right in that)

- this rate of progress is unprecedented, and the human brain is unfit to deal with such growth, thus

- the only way to deal with such enormous mount of power is: Mathematics, because proofs are rigorous. (I'm simplifying a bit here.)
I quit without another traditional job lined up. But I definitely had a plan. I highly recommend having a plan too.

I got pretty high up on the traditional engineering corporate ladder (junior to senior to lead to managing managers at a startup) and realized, even though I was pretty good at it, it just wasn't where I wanted my life to go.

I enrolled in a part time language learning school for Chinese and spend the other half trying to get a engineer training business off the ground. I figure the worst case scenario was I'd learn Chinese and have plenty content in my portfolio to become a Developer Advocate for The Man later. Worst worst case scenario I'd already developed a great reputation with previous colleagues in the past I could send a text message to and get work fixing broken websites again.

I further hedged my risk by giving a 1 month notice at my last job to ensure no bridges were burned. Also relocated from California to Taiwan which halved my living expenses and doubled my quality of life.

Even though I had a multi year run way of savings, an impending IPO that would give me even more cash, and the bonkers bull market of 2021, I _still_ got a bit anxious about not making an income right away at first.

Instead of planning on doing nothing I'd recommend finding a 10-20 hour a week contract gig, or interviewing at somewhere like karat.com to give freelance interviews. At the very least, have a plan of WHAT you'll be doing if you're not working, maybe it's signing up for a foreign language course, or grad school, or flamenco dancing, whatever. Just make sure you have some sort of routine planned. You can start your own thing while taking a part time class, and it'll make it much easier to make friends and not accidentally waste your time on social media by accident.

That being said, if you have a plan of what you'll do, have a specific place in mind, and have the cash saved up, go for it.
Good job man. I have used inkscape in these kind of tasks, but it seems that with every new version, it sucks even more. Seeing these kind of web apps is refreshing!

Just some feedback, saving the SVG produces an all black SVG, copying the SVG copies nothing.
There's people who pay tens of thousands of dollars on Genshin Impact and the game will be removed from the store at some point too and the things they spent money on will be gone. You don't own things from the store :\
Fair point, that's why I said that Rust would only lose part of its appeal and not all of it. I mostly do web stuff so my vision is influenced by that. In that context, Rust's strength is that you can get C++ like performance without the footguns. But in those cases, if you have a language that's easier to use and that doesn't use that much more resources than Rust, Rust would lose a part of its appeal.
Words gain new meanings. It doesn’t kill the old meanings. From context people understand which meaning one talks about.

And for those who haven’t heard of the Dawkinsian memes? Well I guess it wasn’t that succesfull of a meme after all.
Regarding commercialization of suicide: I think you're missing my point entirely somehow. The "societal" issue where old people are unwanted already exists, and it will exist irrespective of any innovation of this kind. Moreover, old or terminally ill people already have full control in terms of whether they choose to live or kick the bucket. There's nothing whatsoever anyone can do about that. Tens of thousands of people in the United States take their lives every year. It's just that if they care about their loved ones (if any) the logistics of dying are horrific. I wouldn't want to subject anyone to that, but I'm afraid if I were terminally ill, that'd be a pretty shitty reason to continue living, and make everyone I love suffer with me.

> The death penalty does not exist to reduce the suffering of the convicted

There's an easy way out of your moral dilemma that you go into after this sentence, much like what I suggest for those on the outside: let the convicts choose whether they want to suffer for the rest of their days in prison, or be humanely and painlessly killed. I know which way I'd go, under the circumstances. And yes, I do insist that the killing must be humane, dignified, and painless. We have the technology to ensure all three of those things.
> The people are well-educated, have a rich culture, good medical system

As this is exactly what is missing from the US, it's not hard to see how disastrous an economic and cultural colonization of Cuba by the USA would turn out.
> Well, on a first page without any scroll you have action buttons which leads you to the pages where you can read at your own pace. For people who don't want that they've put small bits of information on each scroll.

You're reversing the series of events. A user visiting a page (especially a homepage) expects it to offer relevant information in an easily consumable way. It is impossible for a user to automagically intuit that they can get more easily consumable information on a separate page, just because a link to that page exists.

So, what you're suggesting is that it's good UX to make the homepage so annoying that multiple pages are required to provide the same information. That's called an anti-pattern, and really makes that nearly 1MB page load (and 80kB loading gif) a complete waste of time and electricity.

Even worse is that the feature information doesn't actually exist outside of the homepage, so you're making an incorrect assertion that people who don't want to scroll can instead just click a button.

> Every information is carefully chosen, so you keep scrolling and reading. After that you go to the doc to read more.

In this case especially, the information is the exact opposite of carefully chosen. It is chock full of jokes and irrelevant "aren't we cool" posturing, which comes across as pure "tech bro" and does a terrible job of convincing someone why they should use and trust this framework as a foundation for their product.

> I've never seen better UI/UX that hook me in so quickly. If it was just regular page I would think "ah, just another framework" and close the tab.

A bizarre statement. You're admitting to be willingly manipulated by style over substance, and that you have a premeditation for not actually reading a site's content unless they've met some arbitrary level of flashiness. If a project manager asked you to research frameworks, and your response was to supply them with a list of homepages that you thought "looked the coolest," you'd be fired on the spot.
He absolutely did mention that in the video.
Editorial desks still exist?

Saying this in jest, but there was a time when this was highly respected and I feel that the number of places that have them must be diminishing quickly - or a shadow of their former pasts.
I have yet to see significant sexism/racism in open source, but I have seen an insurmountable amount of drama, bad behavior, prosecution and prejudice from people proclaiming to fight against it.
Flee from what? a war with aliens? Natural catastrophies? Localized conflicts? Or are you talking about political refugees?

A world is essentially impossible to achieve anyway, because super powers don't want anyone to dictate rules.

The EU is not a mini-world government. it's an attempt at unifying many small nations to achieve peace and World power status. on their own, European countries are at the mercy if the US and China.
I've always thought it a shame how primitive the history and bookmarks are in Firefox. They don't seem to have evolved at all in 20 years apart from the ability to sync them across devices.
I was using Django Rest Framework for many years (and still using) but I can't recommend it to anybody. I would recommend FastAPI which is more straightforward and has modern features and not abandoned (like DRF is).
I am not sure the age has shifted that much with new users, but I do think that the breath of experts has changed. It shifted from technical ICs and startup entrepreneurs to basically anyone interested in new ideas and good discussion.

There are downsides but personally I think it is pretty cool to read the expert opinion of people completely outside my body of knowledge, Farmers, Neurologists, Chemical Engineers, etc.
Where are all the 75% ortholinear split keyboards? All the super-duper ergo boards have very few keys and/or a strange layout (like this Djinn).

Currently the best keyboard for my left forearm's RSI has been Mistel Barocco MD770 [1] but I've recently been aware how the staggering maybe forces the fingers to travel in slightly unnatural ways. These videos [2][3] from Ben Vallack demonstrate this nicely.

Thus, I'd like to test an ortholinear one, but with all the normal 75%/tenkeyless board keys in place. I personally don't need to optimize the right hand keys as much so I'm not interested in learning an oherwise crazy new layout just to test out if the ortholinearity helps. And, I really like having the split since keeping two halves of the board further apart helps keeping my posture in control. But this combo seems to be difficult to find.
