Some initial feedback after noodling around for 20 mins:

Initially this looked like the perfect replacement for my notion + good notes setup. Inking is really important to my workflow so most of my feedback is around that. I also love having the calendar integrated into my daily notes.

- Daily notes don't appear to be a surface so cannot be inked on? This is pretty vital for me. In GoodNotes I basically have a new note page every day for scribbling. Otherwise this feature looks perfect for how I currently work.
- The inking in general does not feel great in comparison to Notability or GoodNotes. It appears to do some path correction and overall everything feels very "stiff". Could use more pen tip size options and pen options in general as well as highlighting.
- It's too easy to accidentally activate the context menus for text / shape / non-drawing areas when panning around with fingers or accidentally brushing them with your hand. Maybe a long press on these to activate those menus?

I love the idea of having notes, tasks and calendar in one place. You nailed the integration with google calendar, I just wish you could do something similar with tasks but I doubt it will fit into your current paradigm. For me, as a mixed OS user (Android phone, iOS tablet, MacBook for work) I need a task manager that is fully cross platform with notifications, quick add, etc. no matter which device I'm on. I could see using the tasks in your app for non-deadline, more project-management style things. But not as a daily "to-do style" app. And maybe that is the objective, just my 0.02.

Overall this looks _super_ promising and I would love to consolidate my current workflow into one place. And there are great ideas here, unfortunately the UX (at least on iOS and specifically in regards to inking / touch input) just falls slightly short of the competition.
There's also Librewolf. Would be curious to hear on takes if anyone has looked closer on both. Main difference is that Librefox doesn't really patch or fork Firefox itself - it's "just" config and extensions, whereas Librewolf is a more classic fork (though very close to upstream).

The default browser of Garuda Linux is a rebranded Librewolf build.

How does this differ from how other web frameworks work? I thought almost all of them are shared-nothing.
I don't get it, why does zero-zero-zero-zero mean a single point of consistency?

if the function doesn't change, every point should be consistent, right?
The car example is a terrible example. I only used it because it's a well known example.

But I'm actually thinking about digital computer techonology. In computers the difference between able and allowed works very differently. Specially in software-only contexts (hardware will likely remain hackable).

I'm trying to draw attention to the software-only case (which is also what the article's about).

My nightmare scenario is that by some means, things like web-inpsector tools cease to work, or require a licensed regulated permission to be opened or something.

A technology like WASM, it seems to me, accomplishes a similar goal without trying to do it. The goal of WASM is completely unrelated to restricting inspect-ability, which in turn reduces the ability to modify, yet it manages to do this, it raises the bar for changing webpages.
Backlash? Can you be more specific? Do you mean some kind of organized boycott? Complainy blog posts? What exactly would you expect? Generally, companies do what makes them a profit and customers either buy it or don’t buy it. We no longer have the institutional means for anything else.
It’s absolutely not backwards. When you have a million people in a concentration camp in a given region, and China is known for shipping these slaves around their country to work in factories, to make sanctions and targeted policies more difficult to apply, can you maybe see why a rule of thumb has been created black listing an entire region? This is their choice. Cause. Effect.
That's even worse, as this means somebody takes your money, and pay somebody to stooge for China without you knowing.
Personally I'm at full scale war with ads on the internet and I make sure I see almost none (nowadays this can be achieved in a lot of ways - Pi-hole, NextDNS, uBlock etc.)

So when recently my wife and I were searching for a holiday destination online on her laptop (with no blocking as she gets very annoyed if blocking makes even one page unusable - she'd rather drown in ads all day) I was pretty shocked that for almost all search queries, on a 13" laptop with 1280x800 resolution and the browser running full screen at 100% zoom, the >>entire visible Google results page is all ads!<< There is literally no organic search result visible "above the fold"!

So, Google could improve their search engine dramatically and the typical searcher would not even see the results of it...
It seems like it comes with 3 years worth of CVEs aswell.
The truth is, all the weather in the world is interpolated. Most people don't know that new _forecasts_ are usually made only twice a day (at 00:00Z and 12:00Z) (more frequent _forecast updates_ are actually just changing times in forecasted ranges).

That's why pilots don't like Windy actually. We prefer to read source readings and forecasts and guess-interpolate manually, no need in extra layer of complexity.

E.g. if I want to check visibility at my small airport, where no weather forecasts are made, I check a few larger airports around, and also learn today's "big picture" weather state (fronts? inversions?), to estimate what should I expect at my local airport.

It's like debugging a website software having raw DB data vs. screenshot.
For me it's Lazarus/Free Pascal/GIT on a windows machine.

Clearly what I wrote was a broad over simplification but I think the essence is roughly correct. As it stands now companies in China are definitely subservient to the state. The communist party there is definitely in the driver seat. In America corporate interests dominate policy making. U.S. foreign policy has definitely been bent to serve corporate interests and domestic policy in many areas are enacted to serve corporate interests. There are many instances of corporations mostly dictating policy in the U.S. I don’t claim all policy is at the behest of corporations.

Roughly speaking one can view the difference between China and the U.S. as follows. In China corporations serve CCCP interests and in the U.S. government serves corporate (highest bidder) interests.

I should not have said “other countries” in my original post. There are, currently, no other countries than China and the U.S. in terms of scale and influence.
I'd love to see something similar to this from Apple, but that will never happen as long as it's purely up to them.
Carted founder ends up with no equity after Blackbird VC scam
I know we are an outlier, but literally the first day at my startup, we setup Okta for everything we could, best investment ever, onboarding a new user takes 1 minute, and we don't have to worry about leaked / weak passwords. Adding support for SAML / OIDC is relatively easy today with Auth0/Cognito, but agree it's an effort. But I really believe that the time to implement it is irrelevant, I believe people should charge for differentiating features, not common/convenient features.
With Python you have to run a web server in front of your web server... never seemed right to me. Just use Golang, it's all self contained.
> and also believe Firefox is going to be forked

Out of curiosity: by whom? I don't think this is likely at this point, short of some truly benevolent benefactor pushing tens of millions of dollars per-year into a competing foundation.

None of the "alternative" browser companies today built upon Gecko or forked Firefox itself, because _it's really hard to maintain a browser engine_. Mozilla itself barely manages to keep up, and Apple sort-of-does (and can riff off work on Blink due to WebKit's shared history). This is also why Chrome & Chromium tend to drive de-facto standards (some good, some not so good) with an implementation-first approach.

Building browsers is hard. Really hard, especially as we consume more media and build richer applications on top of the web. Dedicated teams for video & audio, WebRTC, Wasm, CSS, JS itself (huge, let alone the security challenges), etc.
This is one of the big reasons I initially fell in love with FOSS; you get all the enterprise features out of the box, or at least they were not artificially fenced out. It's also the reason why I'm not generally very enthusiastic about open core stuff. I do note that this sort of market segmentation has been going on for very long, notable example would be Windows XP, where "Home" edition can not join to AD domain.
Of course we believe we are right otherwise we would believe something that we think is wrong. Self righteous people want you to know that they are right and you are wrong.

But I think what the article is really getting at is that we are putting people into groups of good and bad based on what they think. We have started to dehumanize people who don't agree with us.

Colors in movies and TV: What happened to them?
so by your logic as per statement #1: do you think an iron age peasant, who undoubtably would have had a more brutal life than us, would have swapped their freedom and way of life for being kept in a cage, being experimented on by technology they would find to be terrifying dark magic that could kill them at any moment (see above commenter's mention of the pigs having heart attacks), all for some basic but guaranteed food each day?
Which reminds me of a quote from Agatha Christie's "Death on the Nile":

“Take the Pyramids. Great blocks of useless masonry, put up to minister to the egoism of a despotic bloated king. Think of the sweated masses who toiled to build them and died doing it. It makes me sick to think of the suffering and torture they represent."

Mrs. Allerton said cheerfully: "You’d rather have no Pyramids, no Parthenon, no beautiful tombs or temples—just the solid satisfaction of knowing that people got three meals a day and died in their beds."

The young man directed his scowl in her direction. "I think human beings matter more than stones.”
With the trend for on-die RAM and the lower latencies that allows, it's not going to be possible to remove the RAM in the future.
Yes, I think it's interesting!

Preemptively tackling two common criticisms:

"We already have HTML". Yes, but with Gemini, you know the entire "Geminispace" is going to be like that. It's nice for the state of mind! It also ensures sites on the network won't track you, as the wealth of HTTP headers can kindly assist with.

"We already have Gopher". Yes, but Gemini comes with some very useful, almost essential, additions for broader adoption like mandated TLS encryption and things that should have been solved decades ago like defining character encodings, use of MIME types to define binaries, and well supported links to non-Gopher protocols.
This isn't true for the field of biology or medicine. If you take a look at the order of authors on the paper in question you can also see that the ordering is not alphabetical.
A driver should certainly be at fault, but also how much blame should be put on the engineers designing our roadways? They have built an environment that is hostile to anyway not in a car. I get that they have "standards" that have to be followed, but when you're implementing a bad design that likely will result in any number of deaths greater than 0, shouldn't those design standards be questioned?

DOTs around the US measure vehicle traffic regularly, but very few measure any kind of other traffic, so they don't even know how many travelers are on roads that are not in a car.
A Few Email Thoughts
I don't necessarily disagree with you. I just know the misery these two older friends of mine went through...just to give another perspective. It makes sense though that there could be a genetic disposition.

For context what Pareto means without having to Digg through the article:

> Pareto efficiency or Pareto optimality is a situation where no individual or preference criterion can be better off without making at least one individual or preference criterion worse off or without any loss thereof.

I found this link from another bug that was marked fixed in 96. It contains all bugs marked to be included in the changelog for 96: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?f1=cf_tracking_fire...

From there I found this bug relating to cmd-clicking links in Gmail: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1739929

You can find detailed discussion about what's going on there. I believe this is the ultimate fix: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/0fb0990124cf

It does not appear to be specific to Gmail, no.
Very uncommon. I've never seen it.

3x-5x is more reasonable.

But those numbers are before RSU appreciation, which I suspect you're massively underestimating.

FB granted 5 years ago went from 128 to 326. AMZN 800 to 3200. AAPL 29 to 171. GOOG 800 to 2700. MSFT 62 to 311. (Netflix excluded for the obvious reason.)

So if your total comp is 500K and half or more of that is long-dated stock (or you just didn't sell) then over the last 4-5 years you could very well have been making million a year or so. And 500K is doable for an asst prof.

Not guaranteed, of course. But cash is comp is risky as well. How many professors got a 7% raise to adjust for inflation last year?

10x pre-appreciation is certainly possible after 5-10 years in industry, though. Probably not the norm, but not some crazy impossible out-of-reach number.
How far back in time do they need to look for x-rays emitted to arrive in the red-to-infrared range the telescope is equipped for? E.g., will we have to rely on x-ray emission from the earliest stars to be able to see them here/now in far infrared?
Indeed on Stross lacking humility. His recent post where he talked about COVID was pretty rife with inaccuracies and assumptions, which is fine, but he presented them with this unbridled level of certainty that simply isn't available in the data.

I've grown to tire over the "certain" people trying to analyze the science in this pandemic, on both "sides". (If you force it into a binary framing, it's the "holy shit this is bad" side and the "holy shit you guys are overreacting" side, both of whom have loud nutbags who are too confident in their assumptions.)
A lot of people here have mentioned Laravel. I think one of the key things about Laravel is that the creator, Taylor Otwell, is only focused on Laravel. Imagine if DHH didn't ever have Basecamp (or 37 Signals) and only focused on Rails and the Rails ecosystem. The Laravel team now has several full time employees working on making the entire Laravel experience as painless as it can be.

Of course Taylor and the Laravel team have paid products, but they are all 100% focused on the Laravel ecosystem and developer experience!

Some of the things that the Laravel ecosystem has as first party packages / services:

Paid:

• Vapor - Serverless Platform. Run your vanilla Laravel apps on Lambda.

• Forge - Server Management. Builds Laravel ready servers on any cloud.

• Envoyer - Zero Downtime Deployment. Deploy your apps with push-to-deploy.

• Nova - Administration Panel. Completely code-driven admin panels.

• Spark - SaaS App Scaffolding. Basically a SaaS starter kit.

Free:

• Horizon - Queue Monitoring. Like Sidekiq

• Jetstream - App Scaffolding. SaaS starter kit with teams, invitations, api, etc.

• Echo - Realtime Events. Think Pusher, Socket.io, etc.

• Sail - Local Docker environment.

• Valet - Dev Environment for Macs.

• Mix - Webpack Asset Compilation. A sane wrapper around webpack.

• Cashier - Subscription Billing Integration. Stripe + Paddle.

• Dusk - Browser Testing and Automation. First party browser automation for tests.

• Sanctum - API / Mobile Authentication.

• Laravel Scout - Full-Text Search. Wrapper around Algolia, Melisearch, or full-text database searching

• Socialite - OAuth Authentication. Log in with GitHub, Google, etc. Dozens of community packages as well.

• Telescope - Debug Assistant.

That's all first party. It's unbelievable to me how many batteries are included. Then you start looking at the surrounding ecosystem beyond that and it gets even crazier.

Laravel as a community is an extremely welcoming place, and I have found that most people care deeply about their code and architecture, but don't pick each other to death on details that don't matter. I think all in all it's a pretty pragmatic group.

If you haven't checked out PHP lately because you think we're writing a file-per-page and FTPing them up somewhere, you should give Laravel a look.
Yet, AM/FM radio is much better on remote, isolated places than DAB.

I woudn't trust DAB on a emergency.
In my experience, Sonos hardware is great but their software is woefully bad: slow, buggy junk. But then, the same is true of Apple's stuff: HomePod hardware is very impressive, but Siri and Apple Music are crap.
These machines exist. They’re just not usually stocked at your local big box store because that’s not a mass-market priority. Mass market customers would rather have a machine that is thinner, lighter, cheaper, and with better battery life.
I like their idea in general, but are you concerned that System1 ("[we] operate the world's most advanced Responsive Acquisition Marketing Platform") owns the project?
You could have googled and hated better. Why bother trolling if you won't even give it 40 seconds of using search engines?
I lived in Downtown Minneapolis about 10 years ago in an "upscale" loft building. This was on the outside ring of development and somewhat near a lower income neighborhood. I was there for 18 months and during that time there were multiple home invasions, break ins, and one I personally had several very disturbing encounters. Now, when I revisit that same area it has further gentrified and feels much safer.

However, I still have many friends in Minneapolis and without exception they are all very negative on the overall direction of the city. It's been particularity intersting to watch friends of mine in that area who I considered pretty far left start spouting more and more "conservative" talking points after the riots and as they view their quality of life deteriorating.

> The investigations sparked by her case, which is featured in the documentary Belly of the Beast, showed hundreds of inmates had been sterilized in prisons without proper consent as late as 2010, even though the practice was by then illegal.
My guess is it's easy to "spread" guilt around, so that everyone feels like it's out of their hands and they're not entirely responsible for the facts.
Compared to 2009, credit is loose and readily available. The phrase indicates a level of lending optimsm or negligence, depending on the specifics (person terms bank timeperiod).
It's kind of like releasing an operating system without the concept of user accounts (everything running as root) in 2022 and defending the choice by saying that you can install third-party extensions.

No, in 2022 a browser without uBlock Origin or equivalent enabled by default should be considered defective and a security vulnerability.
Why save 10 minutes on setting up a proper database? Data is never teeny tiny, data is never not performance critical :) These decisions only bite you in the ass.
I find it funny how some countries suddenly make your life a lot easier if you have a positive test history.

Canada has a fairly annoying requirement to have a negative PCR test taken within 72h of takeoff (or arrival by car), which can be dicey/expensive in many parts of the world to get, but if you have a positive PCR result from 14-180 days, this requirement drops and travel gets a lot easier than those that never got a positive covid test. Regardless of vaccination status.
The reason why they posted this is probably because the Surface Laptop was, as far as I remember, the only device to get a 0 repairability score from iFixit, with the conclusion that

> The Surface Laptop is not a laptop. It’s a glue-filled monstrosity. There is nothing about it that is upgradable or long-lasting, and it literally can’t be opened without destroying it.

The only other thing which scored that low from them was an April Fool's teardown of an orange (which scored O).
Doesn't using `npm ci` instead of `npm install` keep transitive dependencies pinned as well?
I have serious doubts that would ever happen. Everything is gridlocked for programs like that in France.
This could be viewed as shortcoming in open source licenses too.

Many companies take an open core approach but license some features (maybe security related, management, scalability, etc.) with proprietary licenses and charge for them.

Part of this is because traditional open source licenses tend to assume all time and resources are donated freely. It’s hard to sustain one or more people in terms of money, and some run the risk of another company reusing your source in their product.

I think some viable alternate approaches to earn money through open source would go a long way towards avoiding open core approaches. But until that happens companies will do what they need to in order to keep revenue flowing.
Is there any critical non interchangeable raw material that goes into Intel chips for which CCP has exclusive global control?

Xinjiang has some silica mines [0] which may go into silicon production. Presumably, that is a critical material for Intel. Can it be sourced elsewhere? Is that the leverage the CCP has over Intel?

I think it's somewhere in the middle.

For some queries, being able to ask off the top of your head without thinking is good. Think 'what day of the week was June 14th, 2002?' or 'Who is the mayor of Los Angeles?' For quick questions with clear answers, the current system is a huge advantage over what we had before.

For other, more complicated queries, the act of composing your search and considering your keywords, etc. is a step in the process that helps a searcher mentally understand the results they're going to receive along with what they mean. Having to stop and consider makes you aware that you're working within a system and its constraints, which makes it more suitable for questions that are complex or not socially settled.

Not all information is the same.
Konqueror now use QtWebEngine by default but iirc correctly can still be used with QtWebKit and KHtml/Kjs. But the both are deprecated and will be dead in Qt6/KDE Framework 6.

It's just not sustainable for a small open source community to build an open source browser engine.
