Don’t create multiple Bundle IDs of the same app. If your app has different versions for specific locations, sports teams, universities, etc., consider submitting a single app and provide the variations using in-app purchase. Also avoid piling on to a category that is already saturated; the App Store has enough fart, burp, flashlight, fortune telling, dating, drinking games, and Kama Sutra apps, etc. already. We will reject these apps unless they provide a unique, high-quality experience. Spamming the store may lead to your removal from the Apple Developer Program.
Ctrl+Shift+Escape sometimes still worked. And if not, winkey+r, `taskkill/im iexplore.exe`

At first there was no natural snow whatsoever, but a few days ago it actually finally did snow, as was visible during many of the events that day.
Yup. Someone else will likely do a better job building those. Mozilla's (and only Mozilla's) core competency is browser building, and they should stick to it. Anyone can build a communicator, but building a full browser engine is becoming a forgotten skill.

Browsers are complex. Just because Netscape managed to commit corporate harakiri in just the right way to leave a spoiler for Microsoft behind doesn't mean that'll happen again. The web is quite different now from then, and much more centralized. If google were to dominate; or to simply share the pie in a non-competitive truce with apple, well, users would have very little leverage over google/apple whenever new developments were to slowly evolve the web into a whatever benefits the corporate bottom line over users interests; for instance by tracking users or playing gatekeeper. Note that that can happen even now, but more insidiously: by _preventing_ evolution that might protect users from exploitation.

Browser complexity is an issue in a more direct, plainly technical way too. Even from a purely technical perspective it's just nice to see alternatives, and the world is a big place; the extra investment spread over the now huge online economy is surely worth simply the extra reliability that such reproducibility brings to design of the web fundamentals and discovering new, useful platform features.

If you only have one implementation, it's very easy to accidentally have oversights in the spec that in effect render the true spec "whatever the browser does"; and while I applaud the pragmatism in that approach, I don't applaud the design-by-coincidence that then results in some pretty bad api's being permanent gotcha's in new webdev. Some of the API's that resulted from MS + apples more... "innovative" moments are pretty terrible, and here to stay.

Basically: having a bit of competition is just a good idea for all kinds of reasons, especially when the downsides are... well what exactly? Why would you want a blink monoculture?
The US doesn't want a strong Russia. Looking at the US track record of invading Iraq, destabilize Lebanon and Yemen, I can see why Russia is protective of its borders.

"It’s also the only side doing anything threatening."
NATO and US forces have been creeping up since 30 years and the buffer zone that once existed is pretty much gone short of Belarus. I'm not rooting for Russia but I can see why they are on edge given the history and tactics of the US.

There is often a complete lack of seeing things from the Russian perspective.
Line length linters are kinda standard. The goal is to have "shorter lines".

Several of those goals are still subject to the whims of factors outside of your control.

E.g. "lead engineering on a project that has at least one other engineer." What if no project comes about? What if you start such a project and it gets canceled by strategic re-alignment? What if management keeps re-assigning the other engineer out from under you? What if executive leadership decides a larger project is priority #1 and demands 100% of your time? What if your division re-organizes how it assigns work and changes what it means to "lead" a team?

Not attaching goals to specific projects is certainly step number 1, and insulates you from some measure of change. But all of your goals are still subject to varying degrees of being de-valued or re-defined after a year's time.
A board of directors is more important for a non-profit organization than for a for-profit one. They are part time, serve in a non-executive role, and are in charge of the overall direction of the enterprise, and for a non-profit organization are usually supposed to represent the general, public interest since non-profits have no shareholders to represent. The Mozilla Foundation is a 501(c)(3) and so that goes double for them.
That's how I think about it too. I use Anka/Coder Narrow. It takes some getting used to, but may enable using an additional editor window at certain monitor sizes.

Another commenter replied that all editors have word wrap, but the resulting code doesn't look great, IMHO. I prefer full control.

It must also be tough for younger executives who are stuck with the idea that someone 40, 50, 60 or 70 is "old", near extinction, and so on.

These are the individuals who are dinosaurs. and they are dinosaurs for being incapable of realizing that employment ages are getting extended due to longer, healthy and vital lifetimes.

This is one of the crises of our time. That is the wholesale reevaluation of what work and careers are, how long they last, the effect on traditional workplaces, and so on. These companies are discriminating out of ignorance and because there is a ground-swell of pressure from younger generations to "move out" older workers so there's room for them to move up.

Shorter work weeks and flatter organizational structures can play a role in remediating some of these issues. But 21st century "life" reality seminars are critical - more so than the dross of diversity trainings.
Fwiw, UST != USDT.
In ordinary functioning of government and civil society there's an effective separation of the army and the police in law enforcement. In the US, this is governed by the posse comitatus act. Canada doesn't really have an analogue, the government can request the assistance of the army when lower levels of government are unable to perform their duties sufficiently to maintain order.

The use of the emergencies act makes it clear that this is one of those situations and allows the government to utilize the military to support lower levels of law enforcement.

This is not martial law. This is not a coup. This is not unprecedented - after all Pierre Trudeau used the War Measures Act (predecessor to the Emergencies Act) to restore order in the October Crisis.

This is more like a state calling in the national guard.

The answer to lower levels of government not being able to maintain order isn't to roll over. It's to bring in more help. That's what's being done here. And it's governed by the Charter. Much more stringently than the War Measures Act ever was.

[edit] We cannot allow a small, loud, group of individuals to overturn the democratic will of the people as decided in the last election. This is un-democratic, unfair, and must end immediately. We can talk about ending restrictions in the open, but not with a boot on our throats. This occupation must end before we decide on what to do next. I remind you of the interview Pierre Trudeau gave re: the October Crisis.

Pierre Trudeau: Yeah, well there's a lot of bleeding hearts around who just don't like to see people with helmets and guns. All I can say is, go on and bleed, but it's more important to keep law and order in this society than to be worried about weak-kneed people who don't like the looks of a soldier's helmet. [1]

I highly recommend listening to the longer speech [2]. Far more interesting than any speech given by Justin, IMO. Obviously a different situation, but with similar roots: wanting to overthrow a democratically elected government because they don't like the lawful, legal, constitutional decisions.

They can have their say in peaceful protest, in court or at the next election - and not before.

> "there is no violence, and no obvious danger."

This is false and I would expect better of HN posters.

A group of the protestors locked the doors to a downtown apartment building with handcuffs and then attempted to set that building on fire.

Although nobody has been injured yet, there have been plenty of weapons seizures as well as incidents of protestors ramming police vehicles and/or attempting to arrest police officers.

Residents of Ottawa are scared to leave their homes for simple tasks like buying groceries because the protestors have assaulted vulnerable individuals for wearing masks.

The entire thing is a tinderbox just waiting for one unhinged protestor to make a wrong move. And even if we escape this incident peacefully, there are the toxic diesel fumes from idling trucks which have been polluting downtown Ottawa's air for the last two weeks and are likely to become trapped in the urban environment.
Brave + DDG (Browser + Essentials) + ublock origin. I don't remember when was the last time I saw an ad.
Nobody eat outside, especially at -20C you're just lying.

My 7 years old in first grade wears a mask indoor but not outdoor. She eats inside with all of her classmates, unmasked.

Iosevka is my all-time favorite font. MonoLisa seems to sell itself on being "wide", and Iosevka is the opposite of that. Each letter is exactly .5em, which is on the very narrow side of things as monospaced fonts go. So if this thing appeals to you, Iosevka isn't the free alternative you're looking for. But if you want the nicest monospaced font in the world, then Iosevka is ;)
I'm glad that when I got a Dell XPS I noticed the problems extremely quickly so I could return it. It had a horrendously whiny fan that seemed to always be running. Battery life was unimpressive. And there was a trackpad issue where picking the machine up from a corner would cause it to click (apparently this is an issue that's been there for a few generations).

Unless you need x86, just go with an M1 Mac. They're ridiculously power efficient without sacrificing performance.
The decline of Firefox started with Chrome's JavaScript engine, who was years ahead of Firefox's performance. The focus on JavaScript-heavy websites was already growing, and Firefox was slow to catch up.

Now they're about the same performance-wise, but the mind share lost was brutal. there was a period that the only advantages Firefox had over Chrome were memory use and extensions, and they had to get rid of the NPAPI extensions for security reasons.
The arrogance is hard to believe.

> In 2018 she received a total of $2,458,350 in compensation from Mozilla, which represents a 400% payrise since 2008. On the same period, Firefox marketshare was down 85%.

That's too big a discount to ask people and their families to commit to." [0]

Occasionally self-defense laws protect guilty people, but that doesn't imply that the law isn't a self-defense law. I'm sure there's lots of good criticism of this law, but characterizing it as the OP did is patent dishonesty. Even Vox wasn't willing to go that far ffs.
99% of browser users is not relevant, the question is how big a percentage of FireFox' users (the ones that remain, that is). Because if you lose those that is a much harder thing to recover from than to not win back the other 99% that you don't have anyway. And I suspect that the FF users of old care very much, though, of course I'm only speaking for myself here.
Wow, Brian, funny running into you here after all these years! You may remember me as a guy who ran the site for you for a year or two when you needed a break. You also helped me get started with Web development on the server-side. You were always kind, encouraging, and trusting--sometimes I still marvel at how well everything worked out considering how little any of us really knew each other. You seemed to have a knack for finding good-natured people to join in. I have a lot of fond memories from playing JK and working on the site with the great community.

Do you still have the same email address at the .net domain? I'd like to contact you again. :)
It isn't interesting to list the generic shortcomings of a post. We want curious conversation here.

The moderation comments I post are for sure repetitive and tedious. The justification for them is not that they're interesting in their own right (they aren't! and they're even more tedious to write than to read). It's that without them, HN would be globally worse off. They're an out-of-band feedback channel forming one component of the system by which the forum regulates itself.

You can compare them to medicine which is toxic but which one takes anyway because the alternative is worse.

I have a hard time understanding why NATO keeps expanding despite the fact that the threat it was created to guard against collapsed 30+ years ago. I find the Russian demand that NATO not expand to Ukraine fairly reasonable given the history they have with NATO. I look at this as similar to the US declaration that missiles in Cuba were not acceptable back in the 1960's.
100% this. Have a dell XPS, laptop has been on a flat desk since the day I got it. Screen randomly starts getting distorted and is unusable now, had to buy an external display. The repair costs would be at least half the cost of what I paid for the laptop.

First, vaccines do inhibit transmission. They're not perfect, and the protection begins to wane after a few months, but to say that they don't inhibit transmission is false.

Further, the vaccines have consistently significantly reduced hospitalization, and most Canadian hospitals continue to be stretched with a long backlog. The continued strain from COVID hospitalizations continues to impact others. Freedom has always been limited when it interferes with the rights of others, (in this case timely access to healthcare) and borders have always had stricter rules than normal life within a country.

We're in a gray area here, granted. Ideally ones' own health choices would not impact others, and hospitals would be back to normal, but the restrictions are not nonsense.
New versions of Android aren't open-source until their stable release, so I don't know. I've been running these VMs on the stock ROM.

I don't feel like incremental AOSP builds are that slow, and I don't think it's changed much from Android 11 to 12. It's highly dependent on good hardware though, and it probably also helps that I flash individual partition images instead of building dist or target-files.

Given the anti-Dell pile on I wanted to give my alternative experience.

I've been a very happy Dell user for at least 15 years, maybe 20. In that time I've had at least four Dell laptops and at least one workstation. I've never experienced any significant problems.

My latest machine is an XPS 7390 that I use with Debian GNU/Linux. S3 suspend to RAM works fine. In fact, everything works fine. The build quality seems fine, though it's only one year old, so time will tell I guess.

I wrote up my experience: http://h2.jaguarpaw.co.uk/posts/how-i-use-debian-dell-xps-13...
I suffer from impostor syndrome as a self taught engineer.

For me the single best remedy is mentoring/teaching others. Helping someone learn a new skill while pair programming can highlight not just the knowledge of the topic at hand but also a lot of ancillary things I've learned and boost my confidence.

Even if you are working with another skilled engineer there is something that they may learn or be impressed with and as a result I try to pair as much as possible.

As a bonus I find I am much more productive with another set of eyes/brain on a range of tasks, especially in COVID times.
I'm not objecting; this was an honest question.
Considering we have 80-column conventions and widescreen monitors... no?

Wait and you've extrapolated this from claims of a downvote made in the first hour after posting a reply on a politically controversial topic? HN is a huge site, are you really expecting unanimous political views? This is par for the course on these threads.

Sweden's economy actually dropped harder than ours in Canada. The government was really generous, and while many especially in hospitality are worse off, few were truly devastated.

I honestly can't tell much difference between this, and the new "Cascadia Code" font that Microsoft recently put out. If they didn't put "Comic" in the name, then no one would likely think twice about it. On the other hand, the notoriety of that name probably helps them draw attention, too.
