All iOS "browsers" are mere re-skins of the native Webkit browser control. When you install "Firefox" or "Chrome" on an old iPad, you're just getting the built-in Webkit with a different UI. That's fine if you care about bookmark synchronization or where the tabs are located on the screen, but it won't help with this problem.
Norway tells conscripts to return underwear after service
I did some back of the envelope calculations for fun. A 5-key setup would allow one-hit triggers of:

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz and space, period, apostrophe, enter.

Then add a "shift" key and you add one-hit triggers of A-Z, backspace, question mark, tab, esc.

Then you could get 60 additional output values with double-tap shift and hold + key (30) and double-tap shift and release + key (30).
Regardless of what the dictionary.com definition is, something tells me that most people wouldn't label a bunch of BLM activists that refuse to disperse as "insurrectionists".

> Why try to seriously threaten the US mainland, when it’s significantly easier to hold millions of US-allied civilians hostage?

Because if South Korea falls out of US favor for whatever reason (revolution, coup, geo-politics, Trump Jr. becoming god-king-for-life with an allergy to Korean food), the current defensive strategy stops working.

If you want to know how much help an allied civilian can expect in the long run, you could always ask the Kurds in Syria. You'll be betrayed whenever it is politically expedient.

Having ICBMs is much more effective defensive strategy, because it works against any non-insane adversary, in any set of circumstances.

Fine, yes. Ban both.
The App Store curation problem
There is probably some happy medium between backwards compatibility and deprecating old behavior. JS programmers are a little too ADHD for me and create a lot of broken crap. Linux dropping support for an old machine is not the same as changing the kernel API -- my old programs that ran on an i386 will still run on a more modern machine (perhaps recompiled).
I think that these days there's a lot of convergence going on - everything is essentially serdes in some form - some chips just have N serdes lanes and let you config them for PCIe/ether/data/USB/etc as you need them, much as more traditional SoCs config GPIOs between a bunch of other functions like uarts/spi/i2c/i2s/pcm/...

Are they solving a question no one asked, or a question that already has an answer? If there is already a clear answer, then it's probably a waste of time. Your answer needs to be better, and that is rare. When your answer is better, then its a paradigm shift to some. To others the answer is no better, and then it's just the infinite reinvention.

It's even rarer to answer a question that no one has yet asked. Then you are a revolutionary.

I don't think you understand the practical business realities of the internet.

No typical business is going to work with BTC addresses on the raw. They're going to (and currently) using simple APIs like Coinbase API (https://developers.coinbase.com/) to "implement BTC receipts".

As far as US business is concerned, the typical payment processor for bitcoin is Coinbase. They handle the bitcoint transfer, transaction history, and conversion into USD all at the same time.
It's because safety wasn't the obstacle to nuclear energy, cost was.

Also, I don't think passive safety of CANDU is what's meant by passive safety of HTGRs. The latter can survive losing cooling and everyone just walking away (in theory); I suspect the CANDU melts down in that situation, even if the chain reaction does stop.
Apple is a MINORITY player in the phone market by an absurd margin. They can't do anything "monopolistic" because they do not control the market.

They do control their PLATFORM, but that's within their legal rights.

If you don't like how iMessages work, you can absolutely choose another phone platform, or another messaging tool on iOS. Since you have this choice, there is no "monopolistic behavior" here. Apple are not obliged to allow all comers to use their systems.

> As a web dev, I had been thinking "there's no reason anyone would be running anything but the latest version of Chrome" -- but here's a reason.

And this way of thinking is increasingly a huge problem, as the web becomes not just Chrome-only, but latest-version-of-Chrome-only

> I'm curious what other HN readers are doing, is anyone testing on or making sure to support this kind of old "evergreen" browsers, and if so how?

You'll find both ends of the spectrum on HN. From "we must absolutely have all the latest and greates from Chrome shipped in all other browsers as possible" to "if it's newer than 5-7 years, for the love of god transpile and polyfill it".

I'm more in the second camp. There are several reasons for that:

1. At a previous gig at a large company three years ago IE 11 brought us up to 4 million views a month. While not directly convertible to users, it's still the size of a small country

2. The world in general doesn't run on the latest Chrome. You have a huge amount of devices across the world, and not all of them will be the latest Macbooks Mx or Galaxy/Pixel <whatever the latest version number is>.

Just for Android you'll find that more than half of your users (depending on your target audience) may be running software that's three years and more older: https://www.androidpolice.com/googles-latest-android-version...

Samsung Internet and UC Browser which are very weird versions many versions behind and sideways from mainstream browser engines may be anywhere from ~7% to 50-60% once again depending on your target audience.

> bad code and bad tools and bad frameworks are reigning supreme over real engineering. Why?

Why? The (ultimately unsuccessful) quest for the silver bullet. Nobody wants programming, they want programs - so anything that promises to deliver programs faster looks like a holy grail. Inevitably, though, the promise boils down to a pre-packaged implementation of an existing approach that does something relatively specific, with some options for customization. If you want to step outside that customization, you not only have the assumptions baked into the new "silver bullet", you also have to understand all the nuances of the layers upon layers of other approaches (and all of their assumptions), to the point where it would be faster to just shed all the layers and do it yourself (but you can't because noooo, you're a dinosaur, you don't understand anything, it's the future, it's the modern way of doing things).
This sounds wonderful, except for the part where your desire to avoid paying for parking is creating gridlock for everyone else, as your car drives around, creating traffic. [1]

Since I'm not interested in paying the taxes necessary to double the amount of roads in town, and since I hate traffic, I'd rather just make what you describe illegal [2], just like how many other nuisances are illegal on public roadways. It should be pretty easy for legislatures to force vendors to disable self-driving summons/parking on public roads.

[1] And no, even if the traffic you create is counterflow, we will still need more road capacity, and I'm not paying for it. Where I live, there is no 'counterflow' - traffic consistently sucks in both directions of travel.

[2] Or toll you, preferably to the point where you'll find it more advantageous to just pay for parking.

I have no love for bitcoin, but I always hate this comparison. It’s useless. Sweden uses much more energy than it uses power (as pretty much every country) and it also exports power usage by buying finished products. Why is the power usage not compared to something useful? The power or rather energy usage of the global banking network for example?

> Making that trustless means I am open to scam sellers

Cryptocurrencies support escrow transactions, where a mutually-trusted third party (e.g. an arbitrator) can decide whether the transaction should go forward if buyer and seller disagree. This is still "trustless" compared to other systems because it only depends on mutual trust wrt. each individual transaction, not on a pre-defined central authority.
Thank you. Cannot agree more. Let's live out lives. Do what we love, grow in it and stop dividing.

Our office director is scared and has closed down again (were doing 3 days a week in person) due to Omicron. I don't personally think it was necessary and I liked working there in the quite (away from kids).

But, whatever. I am done with the fighting and with the political division over it.
Wonderful take on what's missing in current notetaking. Agree that text editors are not good for thinking (forcing the constraint of linearity "Great ideas don't flow out of us with a beginning, a middle and an end"

I use only native apps for thinking. Latency kills my train of thought. And web apps have plenty! Both typing latency (typometer, a java app, shows 45ms in best case scenario!) and creation/navigation latency (going back to a previous page, creating a new one). But I know my requirements are pretty unique, I'm not representative of the general public. Best of luck!

The government having a monopoly on legitimate violence is politics 101. I agree that arguing by definition is bad form, but like beating someone up because they aren't letting you into the capital building so you can disrupt the counting of the votes for your political opponents is an extreme violent way of going about things. Encouraging such violence destabilized politics and encourages your opponents to start using violence too leading to an escalating cycle. You don't want to call that terrorism fine, but it is a very bad thing.
You really think it'd be that easy? Europeans, especially France and the UK backed off from that part of Africa mostly because they don't want massive uncontrolled immigration.

For over 50 years now France has been corrupting those countries' elites at the expense of more than 90% of the population. For 50 years those countries' cooperation level with each other have been hindered and their industries dilapidated to keep them poor and dependent from Europe or outside aid. Dictators have already been put in place (like how can anyone even stay in power for 25 years with nobody batting an eye despite the country lagging behind in everything?) to pillage the regions economic resources and pollute their soil, especially uranium and other metals.

Do you really think it'd be internationally acceptable to commit a massive genocidal war after what Nazi Germany had done to Jewish Europeans eight decades prior?

Overthrowing the established governments is only going to make matters worse. Just see how much of a mess Libya is right now, 10 years after Gaddafi died. French civil aircrafts still won't even fly over it.
In 2019 the US used 18.27 billion gallons of fuel from airlines. If we limited flights to once a week we would save an amazing amount of fuel and increase flight occupancy, and decrease consumption as people would need to decide if the trip really needed a week layover if they couldn't take care of the problem in a 24 hour period. Much more than crypto consumption unless I am wrong.

Edit:

Commercial aviation makes up 918 million metric tons of carbon.

Bitcoin mining makes up 22 million metric tons.

I think my back of the envelope math is more compelling than your assertion that parking tickets implies sufficient parking capacity.

There seem to be a lot of Apple users who wouldn't agree. My MacBook Pro is early 2011 so I haven't been able to use the newest, but I can't say that each upgrade from Lion to High Sierra was clearly an improvement for my use cases (writing and coding). YMMV.
Agreed on the common ground.

>'The answer is no and one group that tried to bring up this issue, ironically given your apparent political leaning, is BLM'

Is this supposed to be some smear at me suggesting I don't believe many very real claims that have been made by black demographic regarding police abuse? What do you even mean by this being ironic?

>The federal government executed a search warrant on the Branch Dravidian compound

That's the most charitable view I think I've ever heard described defending what happened at Waco. You believe what happened was 'legally executed'? Or that those killed were legally executed? I'm not sure if number of people who died means anything in terms of who was right and who was wrong, but it's pretty telling you mention the 4 government agents that died by number but don't number the 25 dead children (mostly burned alive) and 2 pregnant women. This all after Koresh could have just been grabbed peacefully outside the compound rather than in a standoff. Afterwords agents POSED over the rubble and dead bodies.

But a few paragraphs of us describing Waco isn't going to do justice to ourselves or fellow HNers, so please the few of you who haven't read about it please study and make your own decision.

Lastly:
I didn't say Waco had to be interpreted by the reader as 'domestic terrorism', I said they (DoJ) should start with the 'domestic terrorism organization' that carried it out. Do you understand the difference? You can decide for yourself what agency or body(ies) that applies to.
The one who feels personally attacked is the article's writer IMO. From this article and others from his website you can see he clearly has a problem with new developers, especially those from JavaScript. A lot of resentment can be read between lines.
I have one machine using AMD and another using Nvidia. The only quirk with the Nvidia drivers, from my perspective, is having to install them separately under most distributions while AMD graphics just work. Even then, there is a lot less hassle to using Nvidia drivers under Linux than either vendor's drivers under Windows.

(I recognize that there have been issues with Wayland support in the past, it creates issues for some developers, and support for modern Nvidia cards on most other operating systems is non-existent. There are likely other issues, but it seems like most of the issues would affect a small number of people.)
Not with that font.
Well if it fails you probably die suddenly.
Same. I entirely avoid Downtown Austin for this reason. I used to go when I could park for free at the state parking garages after-hours (was a state employee at the time), but now it's just expensive and/or tedious to park there.

I even passed on a job offer for a downtown office when I was informed they didn't have a parking lot/garage but would instead provide a monthly parking allowance. Wasn't interested at all in hunting for parking on-street or around various garages every morning.
Shouldn’t you plan to get the job done as quickly as you can while meeting quality expectations?

If I have 10 hours to make a car trip, but it only takes 5, I don’t drive at half the speed limit. Sure, there may be some extra bathroom and snack breaks, but probably not 5 hours worth.

I see people underperforming due to low expectations quite often, possibly following the classic 80/20 rule. I think this “planning against the deadline” behavior is one of the difference-makers between a hungry startup that outperforms, and the legacy player that barely keeps up despite having 10x the staff.
This is like suggesting cars' days are numbered because skateboards have become extremely popular. Sure they technically are competitors in some extremely narrow ways, but suggesting so belies a misunderstanding of the underlying uses of each.
I for one do not want to send hundreds of thousands of dollars to someone else without any kind of reversibility or fraud-protection guarantees. I'm willing to pay a token amount in terms of fee and delay in order to ensure that.
As someone who still has (and uses, offline) his original iPad, I can tell you the App Store is now a barren wasteland on that device. Nobody's app runs on it anymore! So don't delete anything.

It's a disgrace that while hardware is starting to vastly outlast software, somehow we have managed to normalize 2-3 years of software support for hardware gizmos and consider 5 years to be generous. And consumers accept this! 5 years is nothing. I have a PC next to me that I bought 20 years ago, and it still works excellently and runs a relatively recent version of Linux. I last updated my phone only because I had to: It was so "old" that it was dangerous to even connect to the Internet. Still worked wonderfully, made calls, but the manufacturer abandoned it (and me) and stopped supplying security updates. So a perfectly functional phone goes into a landfill. This should be totally unacceptable.
The biggest problem with browsing at a music store is that the only way to guess what it sounded like was by looking at the song names, cover art, and which section it was in in the ridiculously imprecise categorization for the "genre" it was in. I spent way too much money on terrible music with this game.

With Spotify, I can actually find new music and artists, without going broke, and without relying on the, usually fairly limited, suggestions from others. I have zero interest in artificially limiting the music I'll be exposed to, just to make that limited, and potentially undesirable, selection seem better than it actually is. I love music. I definitely don't want to get stuck with a few albums on repeat.
It may not necessarily be the same as "broken window" logic. Consider a world where no one had ever broken a window. There wouldn't be any window repair people. The first time a window breaks, we have a new opportunity to fill a need. Necessity is the mother of invention. The exponential demand for energy creates more pressure to develop more efficient renewable energy generation methods that probably wouldn't be incentivized by a constant amount of energy use. It's a risky bet, but it might be the only way to spur humanity into action.

We just need to increase carbon taxes at the same rate that renewables become affordable.
> Apple's approach is they have essentially hijacked the SMS protocol

This is supposed to be a technical community so can we stop with this lazy abuse of terminology.

Apple has not hijacked the SMS protocol in any way, shape or form.

They've simply created an app that supports two protocols: SMS and iMessage with a UI that abstracts the difference.
lab looks best IMO. Safari supports lab in CSS, but I don't have a way to test: do linear-gradients in Safari where lab is the colour space used for the two colours, does it do the gradient in lab colour space?
Probably that, and the average Linux contributor being a lot brighter than your run of the mill programmer.
