MicroAcquire is just a marketplace, and IMO not that good (as a customer looking to acquire).

Tiny is explicitly modeled as a mini Berkshire Hathaway for tech (they also, as a sideline, sell bronze busts of Charlie and Warren). An easy exit for those who don't want to see their work dismembered. They also part-own WeCommerce, a canadian public company doing the same for shopify apps/themes/agencies.

Something about this just doesn't sit well with me. I find an individual's anonymity troubling when one speaks in an authoritative manner about healthcare policy for two reasons.

Firstly, it's concerning that I have to take someone's word on their authority. I'd much rather see their Google scholar to gauge the extent to which they are engaged in current research. Indeed, two researchers in the same subfield of quantum computing could easily work in different areas, say adiabatic- vs gate-based quantum computing.

Secondly, I'd like to think that the reason we often interview CDC officials is since they're experienced in healthcare public policy. Especially with respect to the Twitter thread's commentary about whether we'll be "back to square one," science isn't the sole basis for policy.

While I do appreciate the Twitter user's engagement with a lay audience, I hope the latter consult other sources as well. That's, however, not to undermine their endeavors: I think the Twitter user has done splendid work in encouraging readers to think critically and curiously.
Maybe you are burned out of running a company and want to do something else with your life or another business adventure. Or maybe the fun part of the business is done (ie building) and now its optimizing.

Also maybe you dint see the future is as bright as the buyer. Lots of reasons to make a move.
Launching this in winter is sub-optimal, eh... The UK is under the snow at the moment.

How am I arguing in bad faith?

I’m deeply familiar with the actions of the FDA during the AIDS crisis, having studied it in college, read books, watched documentaries, etc. But I can’t convey that info through a HN comment, so I sought out an internet article which I first skimmed to make sure it got the facts straight before linking to. Did I violate some convention of discourse on HN in doing so?
Apple's guaranteed Safari market also helps keep WebKit viable for other browsers like GNOME Web and Nyxt, so that's something I really appreciate.
> I have to say I couldn't really notice that it was running remotely.

Perhaps this is like how some people swear on their life they cant see the difference between a 60hz and 120hz display. I know individuals who absolutely love all the touch screen controls and fly-by-wire features in their cars.

There is definitely some subjectivity to this. Especially, if the notion of building remote workspaces is cool to you. This would make the little annoyances much easier to ignore.

Some of us are sent right off the deep end by the most trivial of matters. I find myself in this camp. If I consciously detect the network round trip, I am going to immediately fall out of flow and start fucking with settings and checking network conditions. This is a huge liability for me when I already struggle to find focus to write code during the day.
Sorry, but “the only punctuation mark that regularly unites readers and writers in deep-seated repugnance” is not a full sentence. It should indeed be a colon.
The moral of that story, IMO, is not "don't do experiments with rodents" or even "bio/psych is nonsense."

Instead, the point is that a good scientist has to aggressively consider possible explanations for your data and possible experimental confounds. This is much, much harder when studying subjects that have some agency of their own, like rats or humans.
> It seems that the market niche of tech-capable people who value privacy and customisation over a simplified UX is not capable of sustaining Firefox on its own.

Perhaps they could care for the automation niche. There are thriving communities on macOS who are deeply into automation, and virtually no one uses Firefox. The ones who do stop because Firefox’s AppleScript support is non-existent, while Chromium’s (and thus every browser based on it) is top notch, even better than Safari’s.

I’m not talking developers, either. Non-coders frequently cobble up short AppleScript snippets do to what they want. When they visit the forums asking for help and how to do what they want in Firefox, they are directed to the open bug report which is old enough to drink.

I have seen plenty of users abandon Firefox on account of that gap. I tried to convey that to Firefox developers multiple times—both in person and online—and their response was to not care.
Yes, there is a .fleet folder with JSON files.
I've been outta the loop on the whole Firefox bad, Firefox declining and what decisions they made. I've used Firefox for the past many years after switching from Chrome. I'm not a huge privacy encrypt the world type person. I don't even use Duck Duck Go...but it makes the most sense to me that the app I use the most should not be tied to Google.

There is a webapp I use that has a chat feature and causes high CPU consumption on Firefox. It's the only app I know. I'll switch to Chrome if I use it.
Knowing what gets run is orthogonal to using an IDE. Like, you are free to not click on that green run button and use the in-built terminal console at the bottom, but even so — will vim/emacs whatever suggest me new language features that may be superior to what I know? Will it catch trivial to see problems even before I compile my program?

Also, autocompletion, in-built documentation can be a great tool to learn as well (I read much more documentation due to a quick hotkey showing me it, than I would manually hunting it down). And I know that these tools can be customized to do all these, my experience is that with so many tools they tend to be buggy and slow, and still only support a handful of features that a full-blown IDE does.

Artificial Vision Device Capable of Mimicking Human Optical Illusions
This sounds interesting! My sister worked in Park City, UT for several years.

How would you account for the J-1s (Brazilian immigrants in town ONLY for the winter season)? What about the families that need more than a 1 bed room?

My sister mentioned that the "poor class" extended up to a family whose dad was a lawyer. I'm not sure this is true, but I am sure the COL was pretty friggen high (there are, what, 2 grocery stores and one of them is a Whole Foods).
Yeah I was going to say, repeated rain (which is slightly acidic) and the like will keep pelting it. I mean the lifetime can probably be extended if they store it inside a building, but that's a lot of building space.
I'm afraid that, at one point in time, a DMCA takedown might backfire at the archive. I mean, it has been taken down on Github, but it's of course available at archive.org - it would hurt the internet as a whole if the archive needs to close it's doors.

Hopefully that will never happen.
Mickey Mouse already is a trademark. So even in public domain you already can't make a cartoon mouse and call him Mickey Mouse.

> I think it is unreasonable to ask for iconic characters like Mickey Mouse, who still see regular content

Why not? Maybe it will encourage creativity and corporations will be forced to create new things. Copyright's only base for existence is encouraging creating creative works after all.

Note that you can't use elements still under copyright, e.g. his modern appearance won't be public domain once Steamboat Willie enters it.
Please keep political commentary off HN.

> …Firefox has demonstrated a strong ideological bias towards those groups that love to engage in cancel culture.
I like this :) 18km/h is a little low imo (looking at my strava stats I'm usually just over 20km/h on my commute rides) but it's a good idea to add a limit

Couple remarks on the website itself:

- enable SSR if possible, having to enable javascript for a static website is annoying

- I guess you created this website on a mac? Be careful with scrollbars when you do; MacOS hides scrollbar but other OS don't and you easily end up with multiple useless scrollbars (like here with 3 unneeded vertical scrollbars)
Maybe?

The resources to chase and prosecute Kim Dotcom certainly weren’t just lawyers (New Zealand resources, but still).

Also, how many judicial resources are tied up for the cases that aren’t on the front page?

All of the lawyers certainly drive up the cost of the ever fragmenting streaming services, which only makes piracy more appealing.
Google Meet works perfectly in Firefox, what are you talking about?

Yes, it's designed for close-range communication, IIRC with proper hardware you can listen into NFC communications from as much 10m / 30feet; and with a relay attack, you can "extend the range" arbitrarily.
everybody and their dog gets it. whoever survives are the ones who get to live in this world. Pretty grim the way I see it.
For me the best fix would be to just abolish it entirely.

The next best thing would be a short term automatic copyright (e.g. one year after initial publication) and for extension, registration & increasing tax is required. I would also put some limits on exclusivity. For example, I think non-commercial modding of games should be always legal, even if that includes distributing modified assets and binaries. Ideally after the one-year exclusive period, anyone can sell copies if they pay royalties to copyright holder (royalties inversely proportional to the tax -- so it gets cheaper and cheaper over time). I really hate that right now the main obstacle to making a good movie/game/etc store is the fact that you spend 99% of your effort trying to strike licensing deals and most copyright holders have zero incentive to even respond if you're small time.
Great article, Gabriel!
> I think it’s worth noting that (at least I believe) the reason apple limit the usage of other browser engines in iOS isn’t (mostly) about maintaining control and dominance. It’s about battery usage,

I disagree with this word gymnastics, it is Apple-ogism. It takes just a brief look at other decisions they've made to easily see that it is about user lock-in which fits in with their general philosophy. It is not great that they are stifling innovation at all, conflating it with browser dominance is a separate thing.
Or if they do have side-mirrors, the bulging load may well obscure them anyhow.

They explicitly said the want to do more censorship and promote fake news (like the New York Times), so how can I trust that they won't influence my browsing? What is their differentiating factor to Google now?

Stockholm syndrome is strong with this one. =)

the reason you didn't find the IDE suggestions helpful is exactly because of how difficult it is to reason about dynamic language code. the tooling is basically just guessing and expecting you to deal with the noise on the off chance it found something.
I believe this is the future; But still, VSCode is the way to go.

But is it a bad equilibrium?

If someone is willing to trade the time and cost of a long commute, can’t we trust that they decided it’s worth it?

I keep hearing how we need to make the Bay Area affordable, but I’m also thinking “price is a signal” and people deciding to live elsewhere is exactly what we want.

I spent time in a developing country and the government is struggling to creating new economic centers but failing miserably (mostly due to poor people willing to sacrifice for higher wages). If they had their way they’d love to not have a metro area of 15M but two metro areas of 7.5M.

Not sure we should be accommodating everyone in the Bay Area (or wherever), people deciding to move to Austin is a good thing.
Yes, Caddy is awesome! About 3-4 years ago it made it super-easy (and possible) for me to serve my websites with `https`. Before that, I was using nginx, and the process of obtaining certificates seemed quite complicated. Matt Holt, thank you for creating Caddy.
But they would be stupid to start from scratch. They intend to reuse all their superior intellisense, code analysis programs and make it available through a unified API for both their current tools and this newly built one.

If anything, they just want to build up a new frontend and the first look on that will be an “easy” one with a vanilla code editor.
I always hear/read about the speed trap warning. In motorcycle circles, IIRC tapping the top of your helmet is that same warning. I haven't ever actually seen either of those in practice, though.

Motorcyclists do usually wave at each other, or sometimes point at the road with a foot or two fingers, just as a greeting.

The one I do see (in the USA anyway) is flashing your high beams to let a semi truck know they have space to merge in front of you (eg after passing). They usually tap their brake lights a couple times to signal thanks after merging.
Loving it, would love it even more if it worked for other video embeds too...there are exactly no scenarios where "your awesome embedded video player" is better than "standard HTML5 video player".
I have this dream that eventually VSCode will just be React Native in disguise.
After many years, I stopped using Firefox for this same reason. On the other hand, there is a fork named LibreWolf which so far is working well for me and is not related to Mozilla.
I mean, I guess so. It'd still be weird because progress would be tracked when people logged in. User accounts would still be there. (Although you could just reset it nightly or do some clever tricks with a reverse proxy to force everything to be read in incognito mode)

My career has been the opposite. I grew up on C, C++, then Java. Now I'm on dynamically typed languages and appreciate their advantages and prefer them.
uhm, no preview/example?

edit: the preview image is cut off at the bottom at some screen widths. I now changed my window size and have a slightly better idea of what it does.
I tried Vivaldi for a while and now I am using Edge. None of the options are really good. It's a shame.
Did you not check 'code -> download zip' ?
This requires having a web reader (edit: or OPDS), so I'm not sure about that.

It depends on whether Github or Winamp can be arsed; given that it's been posted on HN now, they are probably on the trail now.

Archive.org can't just ignore a DMCA takedown, that would threaten their safe haven status.
Can they navigate turns, or are they just being conditioned to run in a straight line for sugar?

Interesting exploration though.
Because it was a rhetorical question, I wasn't actually asking what people consider to be a 'global standard English', I was asserting that that's nonsense. There are many dialects of English across the globe, the Indian dialect as valid as the American; the fact that there's enough common ground between them that we can understand each other doesn't change that (it's surely prerequisite for calling it a dialect and not a different language).

I certainly don't switch to 'global standard English' or AmE when I'm talking to someone who isn't British, and I doubt anybody thinks I'm speaking incorrect 'global standard English' as a result.
Certainly they should have an obligation to not let a crime happen in front of them, yet do nothing about it.
Does anyone notice how he used a trackball mouse design to track their motion in VR?

I feel like there is a clever joke in there somewhere.
Surely a breaker can only detect over-current or short-to earth/neutral (which would also be an overcurrent I guess).

If the thing just heats up and catches fire, it might not trip the breaker. I meant overheating itself, not erroneously turning things off/on.
I'm sure you already know this, but I used to use sublime text and moved to an IDE because of the debugging features. Sublime text and a terminal is great for simple problems, but you'll cost yourself a lot of time doing print statements when you could just use an IDE.
I’d love to see way more of this kind of stuff. It’s such a great way to learn.
Idk, I'm a big fan of what companies like Motorola are doing by taking a 4000mah+ battery and pairing it with some of those low end SoC's that sip battery. Androids power usage can be complete trash, but I've managed 4 days of battery out of these cheap Motorola phones while still using discord/twitter/telegram like normal.

If apple actually went up on their battery sizing they could easily achieve Monday to Friday battery life on something like the iPhone SE.
I didn't know this existed - thank you for sharing. I've shared telemetry on Firefox, but wasn't sure exactly what was being sent so this helps quite a bit more.
I'm usually commuting at around 23 to 25 km/h average, so you're telling me I'm not going by bike? ;-)
I was enjoying this as just a funny, right up until the end, where he either knowingly or unknowingly ignores the fact that decompressors and media container parsers are interpreters which execute code from uncontrolled sources.

This means he actually thinks all of this, and so he's not the bringer of wisdom he thinks he is.

From the article: "Although the mechanisms to train left-right turning was present, I did not have time to train movements with turns included, so in most sessions only one axis of motion was registered."
Our search only currently works on the series titles. It's getting an overhaul in 2 releases time though, but Full text search within books is not going to be supported. It's a very complicated task and there are better softwares out there to support that.
Maybe in the US, but in developing countries it often ground water contamination from natural sources.
Makes me envious, it must have been great living at a time where progress was good and megalomanic projects were seriously discussed. Now, everyone is so cynical about everything.
As another commenter stated you can go to about:telemetry and see what data is being shared.
Of course it is practically possible, as long as the developers care about backwards ABI compatibility - the issue isn't if it is possible or not (it certainly is as actual existing APIs and libraries show), the issue is library developers breaking their libraries' ABIs.

But that doesn't mean it isn't possible to do something like this, it means that you have to stick to libraries that do not break their ABIs. And this has absolutely nothing to do with Linux you brought previously, everything i mentioned works on Linux and any other OS that supports dynamic linking and has ABI backwards compatibility for the applications that run on top of it.
Control Fire Protection
Self-awareness. The ability to apprehend their own subjectivity and understand its limits is not just what separates the dumb from the smart but also man from animal. The dumb go through life never interrogating or understanding their own desires or the source of their worldview. What makes great comedians great? The ability to play with their own subjectivity, to understand the absurdity at the heart of their being while admitting that they can never really transcend their tragic humanity.

Too many people equate intelligence with thinking rationally. Actually, it’s a midwit habit to believe that rationality is achievable. The smart move is to realize the irrational source of all our preferences and prejudices without discarding them on that account, to embrace irrationality as a necessary component of human reasoning.
Actually, over the years, a fair bit of information has been published over exactly how LA synthesis works. They never exactly hid the details. The problem, of course, is that the details are scattered over dozens of magazine articles, and interspersed with half-truths repeated by well-meaning (but simply wrong) gearheads.

If you're really masochistic there's also the D-50 plugin that Roland published not too long ago. One could always disassemble and/or instrument that to ascertain the exact details... not that it would be entirely necessary since at least one company did, by all accounts, come up with a passable replica of the D-50 as a VST, but immediately got hit by Roland's lawyers because they made the mistake of using the attack samples from the D-50's dumped ROMs.

TL;DR Someone will do it eventually.

Whenever I try to use something other than IntelliJ (generally VS Code) I'm always struck by how awful the code completion and auto-imports are. I really hope we can get a lightweight editor with those two functions working properly.

However, I don't see how you can do either of those features well without a lot of indexing of the codebase. And indexing is a major reason why IntelliJ so so clunky.
Agreed: anyone who releases closed-source software has some level of moral obligation to maintain it because the users can't do so.

Open-source removes this limitation, and anyone could (in theory) maintain it to suit their needs.
Thanks, I hadn't heard of LibreWolf before. Will check it out.
In case anyone else is confused: in Sanskrit it's Ka-vi-ta (it seems), in Semitic (at least Hebrew), it's k-ti-va. So quite different.
The startup market is taking more and more risk
Even with all those plugins it does a fraction of what IntelliJ provides, so it is apples to oranges.

Java itself doesn’t have that slow of a startup.
