That the Web is principally oriented around HTML is something of an accident of history. Note that any data can be transferred over HTTP(S), including, on occasion, either compiled or uncompiled LaTeX.

I am not making assumptions about what you do or do not know. I'm telling you how you're being perceived. You have the power to alter that perception. You've failed to use it.
I have used both for this purpose. The setup in pycharm/intellij is about 100x more work so if you don’t plan on working alot on a particular project, in remote mode, it’s just too convenient to use vscode. It parses your .ssh/config so there’s no manual setup, or at least close to 0. In intellij you have to set up folder sync, remote interpreters, , +++. It works great but it’s just a huge hassle in comparison.
I'd use FireFox in iOS if I had my extensions and containers available. Sadly FireFox isn't even able to make proper use of the system wide ad blocking method iOS offers (probably due to iOS). I found DDG browser to block stuff a lot better (and I like the UI more).

But FireFox on Android was perfect, at least it was until the latest UI update when suddenly they lost the notion of favorites (or, they were now hidden under "new tab" instead of available on touching the address bar) and you needed to open a new tab for just about anything. I'd still prefer it over Safari or Chrome though.
If you enable auto sync, it’s not much work. The setup is annoying though.
As a user of the ad-free no-subscription model you can’t become their customer. There is no requirement for any business to offer to sell you exactly what you want.

You can’t buy a word processor without non-English dictionaries, buy a fivepack of beer, buy half an apple, etc.

That’s no reason to then find it reasonable to take that, let alone take that for free.
I tried those in the past, but found they didn't work well. They also tended to break with every Firefox update.
Not the author, but the grid is simultaneously a tape/program and a maze. At each step, two bits of the program are read and converted to a move of the blue box. Each set bit is also a wall in the maze which blocks movement. Note also the instructions at the bottom. I found the introduction simple enough (but maybe the game was updated since you asked).

Edit: Beat the game. Cool concept, I found the levels to be on the easy side though. Some ideas for if you wanted to extend it: You could have "stuck" bits, different kinds of boxes (different rules, or "doesn't die from hitting a wall"), and multiple boxes and/or goals.
Indeed, it won't. But producing more (quality) content is bound to attract like-minded people, who can then become an audience that may be willing to buy whatever you create later on. I think that's the message of Naval.
Spotify is a shitty service though that might decide your content is too controversial. So in the same breath its existence make sense for piracy. You can just hope creators don't get contracted by them.
A reminder that pretty much no lorry driver in india knows English. Vehicles here have inane phrases like this and it’s for the most part almost protocol to paint them when you get a vehicle of that class. The guy who paints Lorry backs with the company name probably asks “you want the horn ok please phrase right” and the drivers probably like yeah whatever.

Not like the drivers here expect courtesy from anyone around them. If anything they expect (and return in kind) douchebaggery. It’s like playing gta. Of course you expect every passerby to steal your car and you act accordingly.

Similarly auto rickshaws all over Tamil Nadu used to ubiquitously have the phrase “the age for a woman to get married is 21”. Similar bullshit reason (though in this case the govt might have mandated it at some point, memory unclear). Thankfully it’s disappeared nowadays.
There is one thing I don't understand from the article. What is that he is so afraid of?that the website becomes more standarized and developers don't need to make a website for 5 different browsers? Or that because of that users will have less problems? Is that such a big deal to make most of the browsers dependent on chromium? Isn't chromium open source and tomorrow anyone could create a better browser? I use Vivaldi, can't be happier.... Some people seem to be worry about a lot of stuff
Limiting other diseases is relevant as well though, as the goal is to not overload hospitals during a pandemic.

(+ just getting a cold is really annoying since I would need to quarantine more than I would with a cold before covid)
Exynos.

I checked and indeed it's not listed when looking at chrome://gpu

Works on Firefox though.
If it's in Java it's not exactly lightweight.
Seconded, as a pycharm user. It doesn’t support virtualenvs inside WSL2. I mean… no virtualenvs? In a paid python IDE?
I'm disappointed "toggling gravity" doesn't actually toggle gravity, just changes the density of the ball.

Edit: Looks like I'm wrong about the density. When you load the page the "gravity" of the ball is actually off (but it's at the bottom, so it looks like it's on and dense), and pressing G lets it float up.

It's not turning off gravity though. If there was no gravity, the water wouldn't pool at the bottom, so I was hoping to see blobs of water floating around.
Chrome and Safari both have WebGL debuggers that let you see all the API calls made IIRC. It's not RenderDoc but it's not that bad?
Android user (and dev) and I exclusively use Firefox. That also goes for my Linux and Mac desk-/laptops.

I actually do not enjoy using Chrome on my Android compared to the feel of the new Firefo client.
Pi's are great for small self-hosted apps like Home-Assistant.
And those little SCBs were the stepping stone for me, one year later I bought a refurbished Dell server. Great learning tool, without the humble pi...I would never have felt comfortable getting a server blade.
Is this the reason Twilio SIM cards will no longer support voice and sms stating December 1st?
That's a very fair point to make, but as a consumer, that's probably a good thing - having a healthy competition in the industry, it seems that even the likes of Eclipse are attempting to branch out somewhat: https://theia-ide.org/

The next decade in tooling will hopefully be promising!
We do have browser-based 3D renderers, but it's always several years behind the state-of-the-art in terms of what you're allowed to do with the hardware, so I think it tends to only appeal to indie developers like me…
Corporations contributing code is great. The problem occurs when you cannot upgrade your Linux kernel, because the drivers are proprietary and Qualcomm won't release a new version (which is AFAIK how they always behave). Even if currently it supports the mainline, it will not support it forever. Only FLOSS drivers can allow lifetime updates, without planned obsolescence.
That only applies if what you're storing identifies a point in time. In business code we often have to work with date times in a specific timezone. e.g. if you schedule a meeting on 2022-07-01 09:00 in Berlin time, throwing away the timezone would be a mistake which results in incorrect behaviour when the DST rules change.
>Way my colleagues told me, circulation is such a mess there’s no way you can check all around you

It's not so much that you can't, but that most people don't and with no driver education and no enforcement of traffic rules, you are stuck in a shitty nash equilibrium. I learnt driving in Canada, and I have tried to continue the same driving habits in India - because that is the only way I feel safe while driving. I simply can not change lanes without checking the rear-view mirrors and a shoulder-check because I am utterly terrified of what could happen if I don't.

At the same time, I am also completely aware about how 99.9% of drivers on the road are operating. So, I have to be cautious that any car could try to nose their way into the road in front of me even when I have right-of-way because that's just how things work here. It is stressful and horrible.
It uses a client-server architecture, with with code-completion and other IDE features provided by a server separate from the editor client. I suppose that means you might need the JVM for the IDE back-end, but there's no reason why the editor can't be native.

> How many people understand the converso crisis and its antecedents that threatened the very existence of Spain?

> Rather, it was the widespread fear of feigned conversions, to obtain high offices, among the general populace that led to widespread unrest (many conversos had attained high ranking positions in the Spanish government).

Sounds like the same tropes used to spread racism and fear of migrants in our times.

Except they set up an institution to investigate people from other races and cultures who tried to integrate and assimilate, tortured them for confessions and burned them alive if they were found to still secretly maintain any traditions of their own culture.

I can see why people with a Catholic identity would want to whitewash the history of their church, if they feel singled out for criticism. But you are right that it wasn’t only Catholics who did bad things, and the Inquisition probably didn’t do them _because_ they were Catholic. Doesn’t make it any less evil though.
The robot that can write poetry and create artworks
Just as a data-point, I forced myself to use Firefox on Mobile and Desktop in my personal life, and Chrome at work.

* Firefox is fine, the sync works well, I don't see any of the drama around management or new-tab or search being an issue, and I get a pile of benefits like sandboxing and better ad-control.

* Chrome is faster, but it also has literal billions of investment.

There really isn't that much drama about this? Sure I wish Firefox had more market share, but it also runs on a fraction of Chrome's budget, so it's never going to be as good, and I can't judge people for not caring about helping Google.
Facebook also uses the contents of messages to decide which messages to censor (some
explicitly, some links shadowbanned) and which accounts to delete or suspend.

There are many URLs you can't send to people on Facebook.
While London and Londoners are very friendly, I would recommend considering secondary cities in the UK as a destination, for example Manchester, Bristol, Edinburgh or Cambridge. The pay is usually comparable to all but the highest London rates and the cost of living is lower. They also tend to have very active music and art scenes and are slightly less tainted by the sheer amount of money sloshing around London. If there's an internationally known university and a reasonably sized city centre you won't go far wrong. A word of warning, some ancient and well renowned universities are situated near otherwise quiet cities, which have a charm of their own, but some research will be required.
I use a colon to denote scale routinely, such as: in places I might have used other punctuation, but for the scale of the sentence in some other regard; or where there’s some typographical feature — such as bulleted lists.

I would say I see it for that kind of use semi-routinely in long form posts.
Not sure why you are downvoted (edit: were downvoted I guess), I think this is a great use for it. It's much more powerful than you'd think.

You are also one of the few that specifically gives a use case for the pi 400 (basically a Keyboard with a pi inside [0]), not just a normal pi, which I think has many other use cases (more server-y). The pi 400 is a desktop computer indeed.

It would be easier for companies (who aren't anti Google) to administer Chrome policy via their existing Google/Gmail accounts and Google Workspace. Profiles, sync, extensions, etc. can all be centrally administered. And also deployed to Chromebooks for certain users. All without having to manage the overhead of a minority browser with < 5% marketshare. The "I can't get this web app to work in Firefox, how do I install Chrome?" support calls probably outweigh any ideological preference for a libre browser.

Especially for any web shop... Firefox is even less relevant than Microsoft now and forcing it as a primary internal browser is a great way to alienate your company from end user experiences.
> I’m sorely tempted to block YouTube at the network level, it’s so annoying

I've done this. One of the best decisions of my november 2021. I do not miss it one bit.
As a native BrE speaker learning Hindi, what I notice most (if not entirely) is phrases/styles/devices borrowed from Hindi (and probably other Indo-Aryan languages), translated and applied in English.

For example: 'I myself have noticed this' (likely translating ही emphatic particle - a BrE speaker would almost certainly not say 'myself' at all, unless responding to someone saying they had noticed something perhaps, and then it would be at the end of the sentence) similarly 'I/me only' & 'even I'.

Or 'slowly-slowly' (धीरे-धीरे) and other adverbs - while BrE does use repetition for emphasis I'd say it's not nearly as common, and typically not adverbs.
There's a ton of potential societal benefit in a benevolent dictator in theory. There's also a ton of potential downside.

Usually we dont ask "What in particular makes this fall in the latter bucket?"
I've held the same view as the author for some time now. The popularity of "ungoogled-chromium" in some corners of the internet has always struck me as trading the data collection aspect of chrome for furthering the chromium hegemony even further. Same goes for Vivaldi and Brave.
Yes, I agree that certain things are complicated to be translated correctly

Yes, almost all programming languages use English keywords.

Yes, for international collaboration, English is a must.

However, many non-native English speakers who are complete programming beginners do tend to have trouble with the locale the editor is in. Imagine you want to change a certain setting but don't know the correct English word for it. Or all the warnings, errors and hints the editor throws at you. Everything is in a language you were not born with. Personally I know a handful of people who struggle with English itself, but that shouldn't be a requisite to use the editor alone.

As for my "tied to the language": parent comment didn't specify how the IDE affected their programming workflow, so I went with a general statement.
I meant it as a joke but it is a potentially slippery slope. However, I personally believe there is a simpler explanation: they wish to disassociate the virus from the country China and as a consequence, the racism Chinese immigrants have faced all over the world. This should not be okay irrespective of whether one believes the lab leak theory or not.
That's the usecase I see for the usual RPis, I have a couple doing various busywork around the house, but the 400 is a different thing, with it's formfactor and keyboard..
If you’re willing to move to FastMail, FastMail’s native iOS app has this. You can rewrite the from address to use any username, any real name string, and/or any subdomain within your domain. There’s no additional setup, you’re just able to edit the from address in the compose screen.
Refactoring, "show me where this class, function, variable is used", "show me a class hierarchy", "analyze my code and tell me where I'm not using best practices and suggest the best fixes and apply my selected one", are places where a full-fledged IDE shines. An editor won't do those, or most of those. A 15-minute task turns into a 20-second blip.
It's a very complex environment, where the Python code is widely spread, and also lots of other configuration files are involved. It's not realistic or possible to have a local copy of all of it in our case.
Man the amount of honking is insane in India.

I was visiting a relative in Patna and it's like everybody just honks for the sake on honking. I mean I thought delhi was bad, but this place just takes honking to a whole new level. It's so bad that I had to go inside a random shop to wait for my Ola as the sound levels were literally unbearable.

The only place where I haven't seen so much honking is Goa. Maybe the traffic is less or people are different but that's like the only place where the roads are somewhat quiet.
I do most of my stuff inside Emacs, but I wouldn't say that makes me a superior engineer to someone who uses a suite of JetBrains IDEs. In fact, for every benefit I gain from working in emacs and a terminal, there are plenty of trade-offs in terms of the amount of convenience I lose.

I could recreate much of this with my emacs config, but that's an investment of my own time that isn't being spent on the actual project I want to work on. So one day I'll get around to it when I feel like it's worth moving that work into my emacs environment. But until then, I'm quite happy to fire up GoLand or IntelliJ and get a complete end-to-end integration between the language and the editor, without needing to configure anything.

I'm not sure the developer who uses an IDE is worse off than someone who can wrangle a terminal and minimal editor. If anything, it's just one choice of cognitive burden over another. Nothing better or worse.
Not a vim user myself, but it seems like Neovim is getting close to what you want. Of course, there's always Emacs with Evil mode.
> The biggest opponents of doing anything about AIDS, anything at all, were conservatives trumpeting family values.

Hard to take an article seriously after reading this part.

> The outbreak of HIV and AIDS in the USA was largely due to how the government handled it and the Sexual Revolution that took place from the 1960s to the 1980s.

These sorts of articles playing the blame game without evidence are really part of the problem with modern political dialogue.

Throughout the article, the word "bath house" isn't even mentioned despite being the real reason for the outbreak in the gay community.
Is this your personal experience, what did you do to get them to run well ?

I literally just installed the official operating system, following the official instructions and installed both pieces of software from the official package repositories.
Which is hilarious since extensions are clearly something Chrome barely cares about at all as is obvious from the Chrome extension page where one can’t even search for extensions to install.
I wonder about this too, particularly with what effects it might be having on the browser performance. It feels noticeably worse than a browser on an equivalent phone.
Rich Millennials Uninterested in Financial Advisers
I really love Firefox still.. Though they are starting to annoy me. Especially with GUI changes and the lack of customisation thereof. Like Compact mode disappearing. For the most used app on most desktops, customisation is super important. I think they're jumping on the 'opinionated software' bandwagon too much.

It still has some powerful features though, like E2E encrypted sync, multi-account containers etc. I'll keep using it. But they're aiming at the mainstream too much which has already given up on them. They need to win back the enthusiasts first instead of alienating us. Only then does it make sense to thing about mainstream adoption again.
They get what they want out of life.
Yup, the rough heuristic that most drivers follow in India is: if I see empty road ahead of me, I am going in.
> I have doubts about this measurement - that level (83.3% with antibodies!) should have been enough for herd immunity in May 2021, yet we don't see it in the US, cases being broadly static in the last month

The 83% includes immunity from vaccination which, as we know now, is not sufficient for herd immunity. Natural immunity may not be sufficient either.

> School closures, remote learning, masks even at that age. Obviously there have been (arguably way overzealous) efforts at controlling COVID even at the youngest ages.

In many cases, schools didn't get closed during much of the Delta wave and incidence in the young population was particularly high. As for masks: They have a modest effect at best (20% risk reduction).

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/pdfs/mm7021e1-H.pdf
I assumed we wouldn't be able to supply 100% of the globe at the same instant, maybe we'd distribute ~20% in a first wave (to the most vulnerable people). That means that those who are rich[er] but don't meet the criteria are going to be in a position to want to buy.

If the country/county/area/suburb next door is poor, and a locality has lots of cases then I'm guessing anyone who can afford it has an incentive to acquire a dose of vaccine early, or a booster dose, by buying out someone in that neighbouring locality.

You need strong local government without corruption to distribute vaccines fairly.
Personally I didn't really like the latest changes in the Firefox mobile UI, especially with how it's managing tabs, but I'm sticking with it. I have also to recognize that with recent updates, it has stopped crashing (or at least the frequency is way reduced).
It's interesting to see that nobody seems to notice I'm talking about the RPi400, which is a keyboard form-factor, and not the small sbc which is clearly meant for iot and other such non-interactive uses.
>You made a bad argument and got called on it. That's as far as it goes. No need to be a victim. No need to double-down with more bad arguments.

You don't even have a damn argument here. You've lobbed personal attack after personal attack without any backing. I'm going to quote paraphrase the zen of python here on this. Be explict. Tell me exactly which part of my argument you're dismantling, rather than yelling "YOUR ARGUMENT SUCKS" and declaring victory.

>You talk almost purely in terms of "sides"

Of course I do. That's how American political lines on this are drawn. Deny the existence of this all you want, but your covid debate is almost perfectly modeled by tribal politics.

So, give your counterargument to this point, not some spiel about how I'm a bad person, or some unsupported claim about how my argument is bad. Give a proper, good faith rebuttal

- Most people function with heuristic trust evaluation. That is to say, they gauge trustworthiness by some measure of the source.

- Generally, people who detest you are not going to give you advice that is in your best interest.

- Left aligned spaces are often, if not generally, against, if not outright hostile to any right-aligned individuals. You don't really need to look very hard for this, reddit front page popular posts will give you a fantastic slice

- Given that lefty spaces are so open with their disdain of the right, it is expected that right-aligned individuals do not trust left-aligned authorities.

Despite what a good chunk of the internet seems to believe, screaming at them about how they're horrible people and deserve to die is really really unlikely to change their mind. It is however a fantastic way of signaling to your the ingroup though.
Electrician in that story should have billed for and installed a better grounding, because grounding is safety.
The good thing about Web Extensions is now there's a stable API, so they don't break (at least they never have for me).
Basically this, but non-sarcastically.

It might be wryly amusing when capitalists act like comic book villains, but that's a terrible reason to let them do it.
