As someone who lived through the previous browser monopoly (MSIE), let me assure you that giving control over the entire web to one company is bad for everyone. Google didn't make Chrome out of the goodness of their hearts.

This is the key part of the article. Interesting short term solution; but I'm wondering what happens in the long term.
I think part of this discussion needs to be that Firefox, while open source, doesn't provide footing for the community to build browser forks the way Chromium does. This sort of open usage, ironically, feels very fitting to the spirit of Firefox, but they're not even close to Chrom(e|ium).

I've been building a browser full time the past year+ (synth.app) and FF core wasn't really even an option. They've done very little to make the engine usable outside of Firefox.

Now I'm sure there are a variety of savory and unsavory things that led here, but building that stuff out seems like a good way to grow the ecosystem. At least they would've had a chance at capturing the Brave/Opera/Edge/etc market and those seats at the committees.

This isn't to say that I'm not worried about these standards merging like this. I've spent many hours working out weird chromium only behaviors that websites rely on these days to do things (and egregiously so if they detect an agent remotely resembling chrome).

There's more discussion on Product Hunt on this particular issue from the creator:

"you're right, notion is great for organizing stuff for some use cases. But most of the time, a majority of time is spent organizing a task instead of doing the task. Dino is targeting a different use case in that it is more useful in taking notes and using at more as a digital notebook and less as a productivity tool."

I was more referring to the observation bias you mentioned. If they were making informed decisions on which technique to use for it to last a millennia or not then I’d also think there was some sort of observation bias. But if they didn’t, there wouldn’t be any observation bias since the process is then mostly random because they were not really aware of what technique that worked, no? We’re just seeing the results because they sometimes used a technique that lasted.

This is also the main reason I switched from PyCharm to VS Code at the start of the pandemic, which I think was really a really fortunate circumstance for the latter IDE. Even though PyCharm is a superior IDE, its remote development features were really broken, while VS Code nailed it.

I'm curious what the HN community thinks about the proliferation of these new note-taking w/ back-linking apps coming out means for the future. Ideas of decentralization, connectivity, linking, and synthesis seem to be front and center. Anyone wanna speculate as to how this might shift our views of the world and our surroundings in the future?

(disclosure: political decentralization and theories and philosophies based in nonlinearity have been areas of interest of mine for the past 20 years, so this new emphasis is very exciting to me).

I have no idea how someone can get so stuck up their assumptions as to say something like that.

I have been using Firefox since circa 2010, and can count on my fingers how many websites do not work properly in it.

Most of the time it's just some CYA "I am a lazy/underpaid-subcontractor dev and didn't bother opening my website on a non-majority browser to check if it is broken" banner asking me to switch (which nowadays I mostly don't see thanks to uBlock's Annoyances list); the website was an actual tech demo of something that only Chrome had at the time; or it was an incredibly convoluted government website best browsed with Mosaic or some shit like that.
Firefox just pushed yet another pointless UI change six months ago. People using their software just to go about with their lives don't like pointless UI changes.

Ha, interesting. (From comments I gather you're in the UK, but for the benefit of others 'just now' here would be a very short time ago; in the past: phillc commented just now.)

I've struggled to explain the nuanced variations in meaning of 'quite' in BrE to a Canadian, depending on tone and other words that really have no right to make any difference. (Think 'quite nice' vs. 'really quite nice'; 'a bit' vs. 'quite a bit'. "That makes no sense", she said. Well quite.)

I haven't tried the official OS but with Alpine I had to enable a DT overlay (IIRC vc4-fkms-v3d) and install the relevant mesa driver (probably mesa-dri-vc4) to get X performance to a level where it's not absolute misery. Some other tweaks were required too to support my screen resolution.

Whenever I visit a large city, the sound of car horns is what takes the most getting used to. It is deeply unpleasant, and happens so often it isn't even useful.

For someone from the suburbs it's a very alien and disturbing experience.

>The true reasons Firefox lost market share is because we, developer & tech people started to install Chrome on family computers instead of Firefox because it was safer & faster (way way faster). And we never came back from it.

Which comes down to the reasons I've already stated.
I agree with this opinion.

When Chrome came out, it was way better. Now I don't really see big difference in performance, they have similar extensions, frequent updates, sync, etc.

I prefer Firefox but I don't really need to install it on family computers because whatever browser they use is probably good enough.

I've been using Firefox exclusively on desktop and mobile for a few years now, and it is quite good. Lighter that Chrome (good because I'm a bit of a cheapskate when it comes to hardware), everything works, and it is quick. And they finally got their Linux support up to par (in the late 00s early 10s, Firefox for Linux was a forgotten stepchild, missing most of the newer features and integration present in the other platforms).

To be fair, he does have a point. Firefox constantly nags you about new "features", the vast majority of which are bullshit (and even if they were useful, ultimately it's still getting in the way at the worst possible time). I could see this throwing less technical users off.

I'm not sure whether Chrome is any worse on this front, but either way Firefox is terribly annoying. I think it's the most user-hostile open source software I know of.

This. I don't want to have my family asking to teach them how to use the browser everytime Mozilla decides to do a pointless UI change.

Chrome pretty much barely changes where things are and how things behave and it's a pretty fast browser. If you want to fix Firefox go complain with their management.

Why wouldn't there be a stock of rental housing? Nothing stops a full-time resident from owning rental property. If you want to own one (or more) houses there you have to live there. Seems perfectly reasonable to me. I wish this could be tried in the USA, but voters (rich property owners) would never allow it. There are a lot of places (not just ski towns) that are ruined by rich people bidding up property and then leaving it vacant 358 days of the year.
Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up.
I switched from a JetBrains IDE to VS Code for one reason: I don't want to build a C++ codebase on my laptop. It requires a lot of processing power, takes a long time, kills the battery, and makes the fan go off.

I'm willing to use VS Code Remote and sacrifice some features to not have to deal with that. My employer doesn't really care if I provision a big EC2 instance for development. I'll take a look at Fleet a little later on.
Code with me works okay. Far better than "Zoom share desktop".

Should You Still Use Docker Swarm in 2021
Ok, time to throw in the explanation I grew up with. I always thought it was definitive, but turns out its not. Unfortunately I have already passed on this urban legend :P.

On foggy roads in north India, it is difficult to see vehicles on the road. So lights were used to indicate the status of big vehicles like trucks. Two lit bulbs on left and right corners (illuminating Horn Please) meant honk to get a pass. And to indicate you can overtake, the driver could light one bulb in the middle (illuminating a OK) to indicate its ok to take over. Eventually this system was scrapped but the tradition to paint "Horn OK please" remained.

(my god the theory is falling apart in my own head as I retell it).
>Come on, jetbrains is many things, and not all of them good, but clueless idiots they are not.

They don't have to be clueless idiots to make bad decisions. Mozilla wasn't staffed by clueless idiots either, but they still did FirefoxOS. Microsoft is definitely not staffed by clueless idiots, but they've made more boneheaded decisions than I can count.

>Why would you cling to vscode and never try anything else, and critique anyone for even trying to make something similar, or maybe better?

I never said I was clinging to VSCode. In this thread, I mentioned that I use both JetBrains products and VSCode. I switch between the repeatedly over the course of a workday, and so I see the contrast between them repeatedly. What I don't understand is why JetBrains is making a product that is like VSCode but with fewer features and less developer mindshare?

You keep saying, "Give it the benefit of the doubt," but why should I do that? Every year JetBrains' products gets slower, more memory hungry, and stagnate in terms of features. Now, instead of actually focusing on their IDE platform, I see them devoting resources first to Spaces, and now to Fleet. Yes, for the moment IntelliJ is still the class leading Java IDE. Kotlin, same, but JetBrains owns Kotlin so it's no surprise that their tooling is the best. But other than those two specific ecosystems, JetBrains is falling behind.

PyCharm used to be peerless, but VSCode caught up. Their Go tooling is behind VSCode (and so far as I can tell, always has been). Their Rust support is inferior. In Typescript and Javascript, the advantage belongs to VSCode, even by your own admission. They might have a better PHP editor, but who cares? PHP isn't nearly as relevant as it used to be.

From my perspective, JetBrains is going down the exact same trajectory that Mozilla went down when Google came out with Chrome. Instead of buckling down and focusing on making their core product truly excellent, they diluted themselves on all sorts of side projects that, while interesting, never had a real chance of replacing the one product that they're known for.
It depends. That's only true if the levels are very high (they can chetalate but it doesn't necessarily improve IQ). I also should have clarified "other sources" to be other trace sources.

The level isn't going to be that high from spices and normal food sources (even the article says it's .1% of a child's lead exposure). Unless they're eating paint chips or around lead fumes from old cars or some other high lead source, the levels will be low. While no amount of lead is necessarily good, there are threshold levels before it truly becomes bad. It's present everywhere in trace amounts.
I have exactly the same observation and personal experience, and commented the same thing a while back on another crypto-hatred thread here on HN.

For me who am neither American or British, Global Standard English means American English in practice. I may find British pronunciation more logical and easier to understand, I may even prefer the spelling of some words in British English, but English is the world second's language, in a remote team where half of us are not native speakers, it is easier to adopt the most influential version of the language as the canonical one.
Baby owls sleep face down: their necks are too weak to support their heads
This is interesting. I see where you are going with this.

I had the good fortune of spending a month travelling in India in 2011. A phrase that came to mind immediately when I read your comment was:

photo OK mister

The way it was spoken was not quite a question, and not quite a statement. It was clear what the speak meant though: "May I take a photo of/with you?"

I wonder if this is indeed a way of phrasing "Honk when passing" using a type of pidgin.
I used to hold the same opinion: Google controls the world because everything is Blink/Chromium based! Must use Firefox to protest!

Then I looked closer look at the history of Chromium and Blink.

The reality is that a lot of the other "Chromium-based" browsers actually only use the Blink renderer. They don't use many (if any) other Chromium components other than probably V8.

In ancient times, Blink itself was a fork of Webkit. So, does that mean Apple controls everything?? But Webkit actually came from KDE's KHTML, didn't it.. Linux wins...

The kicker for me is: Blink and V8 are open source, and anyone can fork them at any time. Because of this, Microsoft, Oracle, Brave - every "Chromium" based browser vendor is contributing code. So does Google really control us that much? Blink and V8 make a rock solid browser core and are being worked on by a lot of companies, not just Google. It's like the Linux kernel - kind of a marvel of open source. Not something we need to fight against so viciously, in my opinion.

(Edit: "rock solid" might sound extreme to some... The HTML and JS specs are absurdly complex to the point where there's basically no hope of anyone implementing them from 0. There's a lot of bloat in modern web, no doubt. But if you're really worried about crazy JS features cluttering your browsing experience, you can go clone the Chromium source and pull out the crap you don't like.)
I answered that question above.
Totally agree. I was using Firefox until recently. After they announced their Rust based parallel engines I started using it.

But i stopped using it now the Mozilla Foundation is having hard times surviving....

The big problem is the fact that Google has sooo much money... We need a Twitter, a Facebook, or another company with a big cash cow to seriously support a different browser engine.
Probability of this ending well for the community: almost zero.

Currently I am using Emacs and Goland as my main IDEs/editors and have tried vscode but the thing is - what vscode can support entirely depends on what LSP server can support. This can make or break vscode. For example - both vscode/emacs (via lsp-mode) throw errors/warnings in multi-module go projects. Even worse, if you are hacking your build chain the way some projects like Kubernetes do(via staging directory), lsp-server refuses to work entirely in `staging/` directory of the project.

I also saw that switching branches can confuse lsp-server.

All of these problems are basically non-existant in Goland(Intellij).So depending on complexity of a project, I would day it is worth using an IDE.
I use Firefox and am pretty happy with. It seems a lot of people are complaining/obsessing about its market share or insisting that chrome is the way to go. All not that relevant. It's fine. It has more than enough market share that most companies can't afford to ignore it. That's all that matters. As long as that's the case you can choose to use it or not. The point is that you still have a choice.

Also market share varies by region. Chrome and Safari are a bit over represented in the US and under represented in e.g. Germany.

And if people want to use edge, chromium, brave, or get their Chrome experience straight from Google, also fine. IMHO you are dependent on Google either way because it's mostly them doing the heavy lifting on the internals and setting the agenda/roadmap for that. I hear good things about Safari too. Though, I mostly use it to figure out why stuff that works in Firefox and Chrome doesn't work there. That seems to be a recurring annoyance I have to deal with.

From my point of view, having three browser engines (Chrome, Safari, and Firefox) is better than just having Chrome and Safari. At worst, it keeps the other two a bit more honest. Especially Google seems to need to have their arm twisted a lot more to actually do the right things.

If people don't like their browsers, maybe go and fix them? If you can't, pick the one that best caters to your need and be grateful for what you get for free.
