Transactions are rarely useful for a LAMP style setup where you have a stateless web server doing request-response - it's not like you can serve a form to the user and hold a transaction open until they commit it.

Funnily enough I'd say the feeling was what really put me off PostgreSQL. Everything just felt slightly more cumbersome to do; I had to constantly look up all these backslash commands whereas things like SHOW CREATE TABLE might be slower if you spend all day doing database admin, but were a lot easier to remember as a developer who only used them occasionally.
I feel like I'm asking stupid questions, but, why is this in a cube? As I rotate it I feel like I am looking in from multiple dimensions, but it's like I'm looking at a totally different entity through the different faces of the cube.

So for example if I turn to look at both the green face and the red face, they both have an "lm" arrow, but their arrows are pointing in different directions. Doesn't that just mean that the two diagrams don't belong on two adjacent faces of a cube at 90 degrees apart?

How common is fake pot, though? I mean, surely young folks try to do stupid things to other young and stupid people (fake and tainted drugs). Occasionally folks don't get the quality they expect. But all this stuff means you lose customers and you continually need new folks to dupe.

Sharing the copy is not what's solved by lenses. In a certain sense lenses are just a way to try to do away with the boilerplate of updating nested immutable data structures. It is very easy to write this boilerplate (in the sense that it is straightforward and hard to mess up). It's just mind-numbingly tedious.

Although I don't know what you mean by growing lenses.

Mutex + inner mutation is no easier than CAS (which is the usual solution with concurrent writing of immutable data structures) a la Java AtomicReference or STM (another popular one) and in my opinion significantly harder as soon as you have multiple mutexes.

I'd argue the opposite. xGPL makes it easier for the founding company to just run away with it. We saw it with MongoDB, where it being AGPL means one company can control and unilaterally relicense it. Other examples I'd see of being GPLed doing little to nothing to prevent such shenanigans are any Oracle owned GPLed properties -- Java, MySQL, and VirtualBox all have user-hostile projects and misfeatures added even with the GPL. Conversely, permissive Free projects like LLVM and Postgres have had a lot harder time with one company controlling, because its non-copyleft nature means that everyone has a fair footing in controlling the direction.

Another point for Firefox over all the other Chromium based ones: Chromium is actively working on stifling extensions, especially ad and tracking blockers, dubiously so in the name of privacy and security of all things: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/intro/ (primarily the deprecation of webRequest in favour of the severely, deliberately limited declarativeNetRequest).

While I suppose Brave with its integrated ad blocking is going to keep it working, I believe it will be wildly unsustainable for Chromium based browsers to keep the V2 APIs for extensions amidst the torrent of upstream changes coming from Chromium. So the only functioning blockers these browsers are probably going to have are built in ones - and only if they care enough.

No. In infinite time you can write a countably-infinite number of symbols, identifying a countably-infinite number of exceptions.

You might choose to write some random set other than the rationals and roots, but what you could write (absent infinite repetition) would have exactly as many members as those sets, and thus map to them one-to-one; so, just identify them possibly more abstractly. But the set will in any case remain negligible vs. the uncountably-infinite real numbers.

>This is an unfair generalisation. In addition to being a great game designer

Him being a great designer is debatable. During his tenure at ID, Romero had acclaimed successes which lead him to think of himself as this indispensable god-like figure that everything he touched turned to gold and that his talent is wasted at the current ID at the time and became difficult to work with, which was pissing off John Carmack.

So after he left ID to work on his own company, Ion Storm, most of his post-ID era games were massive flops that over promised and under delivered (ahem, Daikatana) both story and level wise and ruined the company and brought him back to reality that maybe he's not this god-like game designer after all, based on having a lucky streak early in his career.
It's unfortunate that FSF director Ian Kelling doesn't see it the same way, and thinks this project has little merit other than to work around the GPL license of coreutils...

I'm curious as to what extent GNU coreutils governance is tied to the FSF these days.
Everyone wants to talk the respective merits of Brave vs Firefox vs ____, but I just want to talk about how the post itself is dumb.

You're installing an extension from a web store. Of course it doesn't work if there is a problem with the backend servers. Where do you expect to get the extension from?
Ads are a plague, no doubt. That’s why they need to use such heavy handed tactics to get you to see them, like holding your attention hostage before you can see the video clip that you actually wanted to see.

You have just normalized this absurdity because it’s been around for so long. Ads are terrible for people’s mental health, because the best way to sell a product is to create a need for it. In other words, by making you feel incomplete and insufficient.
I started studying Solidity recently and found that code sharing and reuse is done through inheritance.

What's the reasoning behind this? I thought we have a lot of documentation about inheritance being bad, but in Solidity not only this is core, but multiple inheritance is also core. This is then combined with (occasional) implicit access to permanently stored data, and with something that I can only describe as function inheritance.

While discovering this, I started having the thought that it was done on purpose (easy to find faulty contracts that could be hacked for money). This was a nasty thought, indeed, but I found a lot of anti-features.
> On the other hand, it will always happen given the incentive.

A big negative incentive is law enforcement.

Otherwise you could make the same argument for literally every single other kind of crime. Someone does you wrong? Well there's a big incentive to straight up take their kneecaps. But you know, the law and whatnot seriously disincentivizes that kind of behavior.

I posted here on HN asking if Brave mobile was broken for anyone else one night, for little response. My wife and I both use Brave, and it just hung at startup.

Unsatisfied, I checked the Reddit sub the next day, and saw tons of complaints. Apparently if the Brave backend is down, it won't even launch.

This is a huge problem that makes me entirely skeptical of not only the browser, but that anyone in charge has any idea of what they are doing. Currently testing alternatives...
No. But it still does. Look up "ungoogled chromium".
Right but that's not what happened. The author needed to be able to connect to Brave's servers in order to install an extension to the browser from the chrome web store, to where Brave is proxying requests.
I think k2 shows up occasionally.
Hi, author here. Thanks for the suggestions.

1. I haven't followed Ghostery, AdBlock+ devs since I started using Brave. Sad to learn of their status. I will look at uBlock Origin.
2. Firefox was a memory and CPU hog and I always usef it as a test browser or a secondary browser, until Brave. Then I started using Chrome as secondary and dropped Firefox. I will give Firefox another try. Thanks again.

> Some sites are better supported on Chromium

This is "self eating snake" type situation. Many webdevs ignore Firefox because of its market share and this yields worse support. People don't like "worse support" and use it as argument (excuse) for using Chrome.

However I've only noticed problems in Firefox with various "chrome experiments" and WebGL performance. Oh and sometimes it's hanging and taking too long to load some source maps on large projects.
I don't know what happened. I don't work for HN. You can ask the moderating team.

It sure as fuck isn't. There are parts of the world where putting some free seeds in the ground is sufficient.
In crypto spoofing is pretty prevalent. There are even tier 1 tradfi market makers who heavily engaged in not just spoofing but quote stuffing as well across crypto markets.

It's annoying to see, but not a big deal per se: your order book imbalance features just get weighted less heavily and you move on. ofc spoofing is illegal in tradfi, but if it wasn't, I kind of doubt it would even matter: market participants would adapt and the world would move on.

That sounds exactly like what Brave is trying to do. They're pretty upfront about that, unlike Adblock, last I checked. It's not hard to check out of this in Brave in any case.

I'm not sure the author has checked the same for the alternatives he mentions. The closed source nature of Vivaldi (their tarballs only contain their copy of Chromium) makes it a weird recommendation, in any case.
The extension hassle is fixed now. I'm less concerned about fingerprinting, most people can be fingerprinted these days. Too many APIs available in browsers. I'm more concerned with the constant phoning home that Chrome does.
The issue isn't that it requires internet connection, obviously, but that it requires connection to a specific IP (Brave server) before you can use some features.
I disagree when talking about public companies. If you are vesting 1MM/yr in equity then you can turn that into cash. The stock price will change, but that just means your comp changes. You may not be able to get that matched, but you would still see a pay cut leaving for another job.

And if you are vesting RSUs you are paying tax on FMV at vest.

The bits about "you dont understand unless you connect with the culture" and "its all love" read to me like stereotypes straight from the 60's.

That kind of thing is an extreme minority in most places- weed culture is no less mercantile than any other. The la la stuff exists, to be sure, but so does my neighbor offering to share veggies from their garden. Either way, I don't think it's got much bearing on the illegal drug trade, or the crippled legal trade as the volume is just two completely different scales.
On F-Droid there's a version of DuckDuckGo's browser available. Suits me.
I've never used Brave (simply because I really like Firefox as my daily driver) so I can't speak to the qualities.

But it seems ad blocking is always mentioned as a feature.

Instead of relying on the application doing filtering, simply do it for the whole network (yes, caveats apply).

I wonder how they spoofed market trades though. It's possible to do it with crypto before the transaction is able to be verified. Alas, JPMorgan Chase will just eat the cost and continue to do sketchy stuff. All the most banks do similar sketchy stuff. That's why credit unions (CU) were made and why I bank with a CU.
C#: Different Ways to Stitch Strings Together
Flash was often misused - and you could argue it made it too easy for bad coders or malicious actors to load up a page with garbage. But as a game designer - especially for being able to code and work in the same environment as the artists producing assets - it was wayyyy ahead of its time. And it's true that even now, unless you use some other closed ecosystem like Unity, there is nothing even close to the workflow that Flash allowed for packaging a game that would work on the web, Android and iOS. And not just games - all kinds of interactive apps and simulations that could live outside a walled garden (which IMHO was why it was really killed).

Yeah, we've sort of got the tools now, ten years later, to be able to do what we were doing in the 2000s. Although it's still a lot messier. You now need to pick an audio lib and a drawing lib and a networking lib and hope they're all still supported in a few years, or be willing to maintain them yourself. But what really gets me is the way Adobe killed it in the end, by silently adding a self-destruct date to the plugin several versions in advance. I mean, people should still be allowed to somehow load my old games and apps if they want to. But now I can't even load them on my new machine. Literally hundreds of thousands of lines of hand-crafted code, three gaming platforms I built from scratch, several private business logistics apps that were still in daily use, and the majority of my work output from 2004-2014, was obliterated with very little warning.

Right now I'm still rewriting a critical AIR app that's still used by employees onsite all over the country, the last one I have in the wild. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the app other than that the language was killed, and it's basically impossible for me to push updates. Doing everything again is just a huge waste of time. The client can't understand why we're spending the money and time to completely rewrite something that will look and function exactly the same, only it'll be in TS instead of AS3.

The reason there's not an open source AS3 emulator out there that you can run in a web page is that Flash did so many different things, as related by this little article. It let you code sockets before there were websockets, and was still a friendly place for your artists to make their animations. It was like a swiss army knife with everything in one place, working pretty darn well.

Firefox was once the primary and then a standin secondary when cpu/memory issues just made it too slow on my machine. With Brave becoming primary and Chrome becoming secondary, I have kind of forgotten about Firefox. After seeing the number of mentions here, I will sure give it a go.

Only certain ones from their recommended program. Add-on support on mobile is still very limited from what it could be.
The trick here is to ask for explicit consent, and use "first party" tracking solutions that run on your own servers instead of phone home. You can probably get perf only tooling as well, for which I don't believe you even need permission (GDPR wise).
