That seems completely unrelated - it's a fair comparison to the actions of the protest itself (occupying a section of a downtown), but I'm not aware of any specific CHAZ / CHOP demands to permanently change the makeup or structure of any level of government, especially federal.
Extensions were a major selling point, even though as you say, most regular people didn't use them. But the advocates were almost all power users. Mozilla co-opted power users by making a browser that power users wanted and convincing them to evangelize it to regular people.

Through various decisions over the years, but especially the extensions, Mozilla totally nuked the power user case - they decided they wanted to make a browser for the average grandma, not power users. So their core group of supporters lost enthusiasm as they removed feature after feature, and grandma isn't going out and downloading her own web browser, unless...

...it's pushed by a multibillion dollar megacorporation that pushed it relentlessly on all the biggest web properties (Google and YouTube), TV commercials, and had it packaged in installers for other software. That's why Firefox lost: there was no possible way it could complete with Google's marketing of Chrome, while at the same time it alienated its core of supporters with very poor leadership decisions that fundamentally failed to recognize who its constituency was.

I never noticed Chrome itself being noticeably better than Firefox - I'm sure it was in some ways, but it was definitely never the kind of difference we had between IE6 and Firefox.

I remember this NYT ad very well. It was an incredible moment of positive energy. It's really sad Mozilla blew it, and to this day their leadership doesn't seem to recognize what went wrong.
For the same reason you are willing to share it.

In the age of metadata-rich photos, I still like to stick to the good old photo folder. I know, I know. No database, no face recognition, no geodata – but it's super easy for me to make backups of, and I'm optimistic that my grand-grandchildren will appreciate a simple JPG in a folder named with the month's name over an obscure, proprietary (single-file?!) photo library format.

As an iPhone user, all my photos end up in the camera roll, and I don't see myself sorting them there.

So I created a very simple 'smart album' that will collect all photos taken in the current month. I'll name it properly (the first day of the next month, YYYY-MM-01, should do it) and export it when the current month has passed.

Photos on macOS lets you also duplicate (thank god) smart albums, so next month I'll just bump up the album's name and beginning/end dates.
I dunno. I hear that a lot but whenever I'm working on a project with a client who uses Basecamp, it takes a good few seconds for me to remember that the URL I need to trigger autocomplete is "launchpad.37signals.com". Having your product name in the URL seems like Marketing 101 to me.

I find Firefox less resource hungry and don't see much performance difference on Linux.
Any resources on the sandbox weaknesses? I know it was the case a while back but I thought those issues had been addressed since.

Firefox works really well on Wayland though, which addresses X's problems (and a few other regarding input and clipboard).

Edit: found out the issue you mentioned:

=================================================

Hi, I'm Thomas, Im embedded system developer with 7+ years of experience.
I have experience on various platforms using C and C++ based on linux.
Another option is to overbuild renewable production capacity and transport the power over larger distances. Probably not the most economical solution and I guess almost certainly not able to completely eliminate storage and non-renewable requirements but it probably can narrow the gap.
One of the reasons I have a nice notebook and pen to write with is because I can enjoy getting stuff out of my head and then, probably, never returning to it again.

Just a simple thing so I enjoy the act of offloading in whatever way I feel like doing (scribbling, thoughtful stuff, drawing, whatever) and then I've freed up some space in my head so I can relax.

I could try the same with a notekeeping app but I feel like I have to actually maintain them, or work with their system. Not to mention, it requires screen time that I might not want. A pen and some paper has no such system so it's liberating.
An archaism for “old” (as in “elder”).
Hi,

Thanks for the point. We'll keep improving it to make it really smart one day.
Microsoft just loves to reset the choice to edge on any given moment.
For timezones the official[1] answer is to use TimeZones.jl.

For async code Julia has "tasks" which are similar to goroutines in Go: they can be multiplexed on a number of OS threads for parallelism, and channels can be used to communicate with other tasks. The language provides some sugar to make some common things easier, for example to get the result of a long-running operation:

# Make channel and pass it to anonymous function
result = Channel() do chan
# Anonymous function body
sleep(5)
put!(chan, "Done")
end
# Do stuff
...
# Now get the result
take!(result)

When GC is a problem, the most common is to minimize allocations and disable GC at critical times. See [2] for a robotics example where some kind of realtime is required. The language provides tools to help diagnose allocations, and minimizing allocations is a popular sport in the community so it's easy to get help on that topic. Still, realtime is currently not where the language shines.

Hi - i really liked it. I don't think anything could be read as offensive.

"die benutzerdefinierte Elemente druckt" (druck = to print)

Not sure if this is totally fitting. I think "die benutzerdefinierte Elemente darstellt" (shows/presents) would fit the intention better.

"und muss transpiliert werden" I actually have no idea what "transpiliert" means - and I am a German native speaker ;-).
I googled a bit and found that it could be translated as "quer-übersetzen" (cross-translating) => so maybe "und muss querübersetzt werden". I would drop the hyphen in "quer-übersetzt" because the hyphen in Germany isn't liked for that and shows poor grammar. ;-)

Just my 2 cents.
I'm glad to know that I wasn't just imagining things. I could have sworn that I could do this a few years ago. But I wasn't sure that I wasn't just mis-remembering.
Half way through your first example I was thinking it sounded a lot like New Zealand. And then, it was! In that case, it's also affected by (from numerous anecdotes on twitter et al) that a lot of case managers either don't bother, or aren't empowered to work the system for their clients.

Also worth pointing out that

* Newer wind turbines produce power a lot more consistently (being taller).

* There's a huge amount of cheap, low hanging fruit with respect to demand shaping that we've barely scratched the surface of. E.g. aluminium smelters in germany dont particularly care about having a constant source of power they just want cheap. They dial up and down with the spot cost. Smart storage heaters can displace gas heaters. Cars can be programmed to charge when electricity is cheap.

* You dont actually want a source that produces constant power you want supply to match demand.

* Week long lulls in the wind on a contiental level are actually pretty rare (& tend to happen in summer when solar output peaks). Added to which, offshore lulls tend to line up with onshore peaks and vice versa.

* Nuclear power involves taxpayers buying an option out on potential cleanup costs ($800 billion in Japan).

* Non-nuclear renewables get built a lot quicker than nuclear, are not subject to budget/timetable overruns and are likely to continue plunging in price.
I hate this domain hunters too. But do not need worry, names are not much important anymore. Make your project and give a unrelated name. Problem resolving projects wins even not having good names.

When “Freedom” Is Problematic, Discussion Ends

But that doesn't work when traveling. Are you going to carry your laptop with you all day to check for nearby restaurants (unless your plans are perfect and you know for sure how long will each thing take and you can plan where exactly to eat)? How do you even find a café or whatever with wifi when you're in an unknown place? And you never ever change any plan based on new information? I just spent a month in Sri Lanka, and mobile internet was extremely useful multiple times per day ( compare restaurants in the current location, find the nearest bus stop because you're tired and don't want to walk anymore, check how much X should cost because maybe someone will try to scam you, etc etc).

I’ve just looked up the numbers, about 810k Canadian-born people in the USA (2017) and 377k US-born people in Canada (2016).

Adjusting for population sizes (USA has ~9 times the population), a random Canadian is about 4 times more likely to go south than a random American is to go north.

But there’s a reason I was focusing on just the symbolism, and that’s that I know how limited my knowledge is in this instance.
My point is that it's not just laws - it's rules enforced by the card networks. Laws may strengthen these protections under certain conditions, but the basic card network rules are enough to fight against malicious merchants.

"Just because you've always done things this way does not mean it is not incredibly stupid."

So, yes change is hard. But we need to change and this is kind of an obvious change to make. If we wait for the FDA to conclude that corn syrup is bad for you, we can indeed wait a long time.

So, don't wait for them and adjust their priorities at the federal level. That's what governments are for. You can't expect these agencies to do reasonable things by themselves when they are obviously stuck protecting the very unreasonable status quo. Bloat is the problem both in these agencies and the obese citizens whose interests they are supposed to protect.

The ‘Real’ St. Valentine Was No Patron of Love
That's true but I did say "nearly every letter" not "every letter can be". The point was that 7 is a very good estimate for the number of bits needed to define the shape of a letter. We could add in a few "edge case segments" to get the rest of the way, then look at how frequently those segments are used, calculate the entropy change from Shannon's formula and refine our estimate. But that's a lot of work for something that isn't going to move the needle very far from 7.

The crazy memory usage! I switched from Firefox to chrome due to FF taking so much memory. Then I switched back to FF due to chrome chewing so much memory. It’s still true today.

Tell HN: I let my 6-year-old daughter design my website
We had some free time during the Chinese New Year vacation (we live in Taiwan). So I thought it would be fun to work with my daughter on a little web project.

She did all the drawings. I digitized them and added them to the page as inline SVGs. Then I wrote the code. Nothing fancy — it's just one HTML page with a few links. But I like the end result (yes, I'm 100% biased): https://kevin.tw

Fun technical facts: the page is entirely self-contained (except the favicon). It doesn't have any JavaScript at all. And it weighs 35Kb total (52Kb if you include the favicon).
>Honest question, what is there to fix in Firefox ?

If it's not broken why do so many devs refuse to support it because things they code in Chrome don't work in it.

Not that I condone that, but it's what I experience working with dev teams the past few years they all just complain that features are missing from Chrome so it will be too much work to test/support FF.
If you have lots of text and nothing else, deep contemplation can lead to understanding. This is far from the case here though, so you are right.

"Owners of companies also have a reasonable expectation to use the companies they own to exercise their rights too."

This seems neither logical nor to have any legal basis. You have many rights related to privacy and sexual reproduction that can not and should not be exercised through companies.

There is also laxk of responsebility, if you commit crimes individually you will be in jail for the rest of your life, but companies get away with it regularly. Both due to power of money and diffusion of reaponsebility
Yeah, unfortunately I can't really see a viable use case for professional (i.e. paid for) fonts for personal use. Like you, I understand that font designers need to make money, but there's just not $60+ of value in a font for me, particularly one where my reaction is "oh, this seems like it might be marginally better than my current font, maybe I'll check it out".

It's just barely hitting the potential value where I'm willing to hit the download button, tacking on another $60 on top of that is just a complete non-starter for me. And trying to make money by shame (i.e. font makers deserve money) doesn't seem like it's viable long-term.
I'm pretty sure that they meant that FB tends to write more useful libraries than Google.
Your comments are difficult for me to understand, although you do have a fun and whimsical style!

I wasn't taking it as gospel and I agree some engineering outfits are (or at least appear to be) overstaffed or inefficient, and a small number of very driven and talented people can produce some incredible things. But when it comes to making a product it can take a radically larger amount of engineering effort than it would appear.

PS Semi is an example of an ARM-beating company which was founded by a visionary engineer who almost certainly had the big ideas himself or within a small group of technical leadership. It still took a hundred engineers 4 years to bring out their first product.
But couldn't it be that this specific behavior triggered a spam warning? I have no insight into Reddit regarding security, but would expect new/fresh and empty accounts under special scrutiny and when an account like that hops from IP to IP this would - if I were to build a heuristic at least trigger an alarm/ban/temporary lock of voting/posting functions.

Just an idea regarding your latest test. The part of the main account sucks - I am with you on that.
> "Firefox will soon become one of only a few browsers capable of blocking the CPU unfriendly visual pollution that pervades every webpage nowadays."

Not only CPU-unfriendly, but network bandwidth stealing adverts like auto-play full-motion video ads (in a world where every one of the major "mini-monopoly" ISPs impose bandwidth usage caps with insane overage penalty billing), not to mention the security and privacy risks of some advertising "services"…
The most salient aspect of this article for me was this:

"Graeber asserts that the barter myth implies humans have always had a sort of quid pro quo, exchange-based mentality, since barter is just a less efficient version of money. But if you consider that other, completely different systems existed, then money starts to look like less of a natural outgrowth of human nature, and more of a choice."

It also is fascinating how deeply rooted in story telling, not historical accuracy, these ideas are.

If you can make 5 times as much somewhere else, and that's all you care about, quit Mozilla and go work somewhere else. Her attitude and greed are unbelievably infuriating.
I use Edge at $JOB (because we live in Windows land and Edge integrates better with Windows stuff) and Firefox at home. I also used Chrome in the past.

Whereas I agree Firefox used to be way better than IE when I first used it, I can't really perceive any notable difference on performance for those 3 browsers.

There are some minor diffs (edge has veritcal tabs and allows login in with your AD account), but that's it.

Because the process from growing corn to distilling ethanol requires more energy than it produces. That energy has to come from somewhere, i.e. fossil fuels. It would be cleaner to just burn the fossil fuels than to run the energy through the Rube Goldberg machine of farm subsidies and ethanol.
