The irony here about socialism for me is that I find plenty of people that would fall in those ideals (not only in those, but most of the time) that tell you what is good or bad for everyone else but they seldom do what they say. That is why I said "everyone else's job" is an approximation of "socialism" in my view.

I cannot see how that would be a vice of capitalism since capitalism is basically non-intervention and freedom.
Yes you can, it is possible in most country, even sometimes recommended.

For now, in most of the western world, only mRNA boosters are recommended, especially if your first dose(s) are of another vaccine. Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech shots can be mixed, Pfizer/BioNTech is recommended if you are a young man (risks of myocardite), and for others, there is a slight preference for using the other one.
I think this is pointing to the problem with your definition of 'idempotent'. Idempotency simply means that any number of additional identical requests will have the same effect on the state of the resource, not that they will have no effect. (And by 'have the same effect', we mean 'produce the same state', not 'alter state in the same way' - effects are algebraic projections.)

That's why it's called idempotent - 'doing the same' - rather than impotent.
Convenience could make it worth it. I can't say I'm all that convinced though, because you'll have to learn new concepts (and likely new commands, unless you're a git guru) about the backups anyway.
I like those unorthodox, against-cargo-cult approaches. Thx!
Apple is allegedly paid lots of money to not do this: https://www.macrumors.com/2021/08/27/google-could-pay-apple-...
Intel Arc A380 GPU Goes Neck-and-Neck with GTX 1650 Super in New Benchmarks
In terms of user experience, it's pretty obvious that GrapheneOS suffers by comparison. For example, the camera app isn't as amazing as it is on Pixel with full Google Android, and it probably never will be. You can install apps from the Google pay store with Aurora -- even things like Google maps and Gboard for swipe typing, but you will probably prefer them to be more secure and so you'll lock them down as much as possible, lessening their utility.

So, in "practical", non-privacy/non-security terms, it's crazy to want something like this instead of the "real" Pixel 6 Pro experience (or Samsung S21 Ultra, or iPhone 13 Pro Max, etc), or perhaps until you read e.g. the shockingly bad Samsung privacy policy.

However, there are some other benefits derived from the privacy aspects that aren't strictly privacy benefits themselves:

* Hobby enjoyment

* Trusting (to a degree) your device

But, for me, I love my GrapheneOS phone and it's all of the above. I can live with the limitations, for the most part, and I've also purchased a wonderful Fujifilm camera when I really want to take amazing photos, which of course blows away any phone camera system anyway. The Pixel itself is still a really great smart phone experience, and way beyond my Pine phone (current generation) in terms of both security and usability, even without the few things that are taken out when you switch from Google to open source Android.

I disagree. Like, you have `StringComparison.Ordinal`, which is case sensitive, and `StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase`, which is indeed case insensitive, but it's a separate thing.
apple already has its own search engine. the crawler is known as AppleBot and the results power siri search suggestions.

it’s limited to popular queries, so for many searches you may get ‘no results, search the web (google)’.

I disagree. It's a small VC world. I'm not going to assume the author was rooting for the failure of the other four operations. One of them even was interviewed on the A16Z podcast later (the one who tragically died). If you had a graph of all the people who contributed to Palantir's success and all the ones who have made money for A16Z, I bet you'd see a lot of overlap.

Consider I have five artists in my collection, and I write an article about five artists but four of them are not in my collection. If I were to write about only the five in my collection, I might be called on it. By writing about the others I'm making it seem like the one in my collection just belongs in the group; and maybe the group will elevate my artist by association.

I might actually like all five of the artists I write about! They might be true visionaries and altruists besides! They might paint all the time except when they are running!

(Actually this kind of thing happens all the time in the art world, which makes my analogy a little depressing when I think about it...)

I guess it would be like a stranger entering a pub in a rural village, people in the pub are so surprised because they haven't seen any stranger for ages. No, it is not taking over the world, but for western journalists, they suddenly found a new country.
This isn’t really introversion as much as it is a social anxiety disorder, and the solutions to anxiety are usually all the same: therapy (aka psychology), medication (aka psychiatry), mindfulness, and awareness of your thoughts.

As far saying good morning, that is one instance where the “just do it” advice would work. Just say it!

Also, one piece of advice that may help. It’s often a bit narcissistic to sit there and think everyone is sitting there thinking bad things about you and judging you instead working or thinking their own thoughts about their own life. It’s a sort of projection (using them to think of you the way that you think of you) and also a reflection of how you may be judgemental of yourself and others.

So work on taking small steps. Saying good morning will free you up for the day. It’s socially acceptable even to interrupt people to say it. If you really want a leg up, get there early before everyone and greet them as they come in for the day.
That, or it would be gamed by the SEO folks like they do every other thing that was once good.
How do you feel out these low meeting companies during the interview? For a while I had 2 jobs (one contract, one regular) last year, both at the same time, and there were soooo many useless meetings with one of them. Real, actual work was about 25% of the time.
Ask HN: Restrict Firefox Extention to a Container?
Firefox multi-account containers [0] are great, especially when combined with Temporary Containers[1]. Firefox add-ons (extensions) are also great, but often extensions ask for an uncomfortable amount of permissions. For example, price comparison extensions want to run on all websites.

I want to use multi-account containers to be more selective about which extensions are active. For example, I would like to restrict my price comparison extensions to a "Shopping" container.

Is this possible? If not, is there some other mechanism to accomplish this?

I already use multiple browsers for another layer of isolation, so I'm most interested in solutions that work within Firefox.

Important note, because it isn't immediately obvious: Norton is bundling an optional cryptocurrency miner that they are offering as a product.

This is off-topic and not a criticism, my apologies if it is not well received. I am not sure if I worded this correctly.

It helps to have some kind of introduction if we want to share our work with a wider audience.
For this kind of topic I think that the people who already know what radio telescopes and radio astronomy are would be able to find this kind of information elsewhere if they wanted, but people like me who don't are "scared away" by the information because there is no introduction to the topic.

Assuming we're talking about measuring spoons (since table cutlery can be any volume, according to the design), I first wrote "a metric tablespoon measure is 15mL exactly, by definition." The US one is almost the same, and Australia is weird with 20mL.

But now I see Germany changed the definition at some point, and a 15mL spoon is an Alter Esslöffel, with a Moderner Esslöffel being 7.5mL. Can a German confirm this, or clarify which is used in practise?

The other European countries I've checked use 15mL (if they use the measure at all).

German final devoicing is in no way an argument against phonemic theory. You're right that some experiments have shown that it is possible to phonetically distinguish the final consonants in Rad vs. Rat. However, all this means is that the phonemic /ra:d/ is spelled out into [ra:d̥] and /ra:t/ into [ra:t], where [d̥] indicates a lower voice onset time than [t]. It still remains the case that the pronunciation is fully determined by the phonemes, without reference to the spelling or other factors.

"English is a perfectly simple, easy to learn language"

What?
English writing and pronunciation are atrocious. There are more exceptions than rules. I thought it was a pretty well known fact.
There are languages where you can perfectly pronounce the words even if you don't have the slightest idea of what you are reading.
It's still common in popular media, there was a 2021 KDrama series ( Beyond Evil ) where they reveal who are all the bad guys early with one tell, they were the only ones who ate Japanese food. A 2018 series Mr Sunshine about the lead up to the Japanese occupation generated a bit of controversy because one character that adopted Japanese customs was portrayed sympathetically and they changed the story as the episodes aired to respond.

Sounds like QEMU doing that. QEMU has a command mode - ctrl+A followed by X should kill it.
The thing is, languages are a whole lot more than systems for speaking and writing. They're cultural memes and make up a large portion of many people's identity. I speak two widely spoken languages and one that's a bit less common. Learning the less common language was like gaining membership in an exclusive cultural club, and was even a key to getting citizenship. But I had to learn more than just words for things. I had to learn about culture and history just to be able to socialize in the language. I learned things that simply can't be translated into other languages without long paragraphs of explanation that would actually require the reader to accept some knowledge of the language to understand them. And people who grew up speaking this language have their entire life experience wrapped up in it, and their entire family history wrapped up in it for thousands of years. It can't simply be replaced with a standardized system. Currently, the closest thing the world has to a global standardized language is English. English isn't the most logical or simple system, but it works because so many people already know it due to the global shared history it has. Languages can't be divorced from history and culture, even English.

I saw a blog post a while back from a React developer who did this. They didn't use padding or margins, just `<div>` elements with an exact height and width. I fail to see any benefits of doing it that way...just learn and use CSS.

I'm not sure if that's what this post is suggesting, though.
I can't tell if I'm touching the right points here, so just sharing a couple of thoughts:

Ideas are exciting, especially in the beginning. When you decide to work on a product, you are giving up on an endless amount of new (read: temporarily more exciting) ideas that come up to you as a creative person. This is a tough choice to be made, have you made this choice?

What does success look like to you? Is it the ability to work on what you like? If so, any kind of commitment to work on one product is going to be a difficult.

Also, you mentioned second guessing due to competition. You may notice that in any field there are many products which seem, like you said, "closely related". Thats because they only look similar from the outside. In reality they have something different about each of them, something significant enough for their makers and for the market. For example, they may be focusing on different aspect of the same problem or may be targeted at a different stakeholder or reach the same customers in a different way. Learning to find this differentiation in existing products might help you see more clearly where your product is unique.
A couple of years ago, I was at Google's office, and I talked with someone who works on search about .biz extension. They said domain extension doesn't matter. At that time, they said backlinks is one of the most vital signals apart from some PR. That was like eight years ago. So I never changed the domain name despite owning the .com version too. It will break too many backlinks.
Normal memory references aren't enough to prove that the promise's rejection is handled. It needs a reference in the form of one or more registered handlers -- which can be achieved by registering them immediately via the Promise.all in the above example.
I think the point is that try/catch in async code is tied to the presence of await. This will run happily without falling into the catch clause:

const err = async () => {
throw new Error('async error')
}
try {
const rejected = Promise.reject();
const errored = err();
console.log('ok!'); // in real code, this might have returned a deferred to be handled elsewhere instead
} catch (e) {
console.log('not ok!'); // never gets here
}
It also seems trivial to fallback to POST for backwards compatibility, no? I'm not sure it needs every lib to be updated before devs can gain value from this.
That's true - it may lack some advanced feature. But it's quite capable for the large majority of users. The only thing I don't like is that with newer macOS versions Lulu has dropped its own kernel extension in favour of macOS' built-in Network Extension framework that may have backdoor "bugs" built-in to allow Apple to spy on us (e.g. https://macresearch.org/mac-feature-bypass-firewalls-removed... ). I don't recall, but I think Little Snitch still uses it own custom kernel extension as macOS NEF doesn't still support all the features that LS offers.

What support did Holmes have in SV?

Yes, Draper put in some early money and Ellison put in some money, but the vast majority of Theranos' money seems to have come from outside the valley. (Yes, George Schultz lives in SV, but he's part of the SV investor "scene.")
Oh wow, where did you take from I said all my problems come from socialists?

I described an attitude I dislike and I often find, like it or not, at that side of the spectrum: we have to eliminate poverty, stop the climate change and do all good things in the world. At the same time I write from my big luxury Iphones, my big house (as I promote equality) and, of course, tell the rich to pay the bill as if their money belonged to everyone else. Mine no, I am no rich... I am socialist to point to who should do it, not to do it.

I have never, ever seen a person with a capitalist mindset pointing to the wealth of others or saying that everyone should have the same be equal for the sake of being and they are quite more restrained about telling all the others what to do. Also, they are often quite more frugal people.
Thanks. As long as they can be turned off easily, I personally don't mind that much, but yeah, hard to argue against your wording given that.

And that isn't true either, and to the extent it is, you can point to any other country and find something terrible in its past if you go back far enough. Man's inhumanity to man is universal, not exclusive to America.

Yes it would be possible! There isn’t GPU hardware that does it, but it could be done in GPU or CPU software. (This is slower than GPU hardware texture filtering.)

Hard to say how much it would help the visual quality, but it’s easy to calculate the costs, which are largely memory. A map map consumes 1/3rd more memory than a texture. If you add a 2nd set of points starting at 75% zoom, then I think (napkin math) it’ll bring your memory consumption closer to 2x the original texture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mipmap#Mechanism
I agree. It takes me back arguments I had with my PM when I worked for a small SaaS close to 10 years ago. I had to use POST for a query API because of the limitations around GET & URL encoding of the parameters for the exact reasons outlined in TFA. She insisted it be a GET until I showed real, existing client queries that couldn't be handled. Only then, did she relent. Same PM also insisted I send results of queries as a list of objects in JSON, instead of a more compact tabular format, because tables aren't REST-y. I lost that battle, and the serialized results of queries were an order of magnitude larger than they needed to be...

That'd be great but there is no reason this couldn't be pursued as a separate layer on top of this instead of something that has to block it. I doubt it'd get the same support though as it'd require a lot more "thou shalt do it this way" rather than "you can call this if you need" and such changes are much harder to get support for.
