This sounds like a popover (not sure what the Firefox term is), but I have only ever seen it in response to an action.

As others have mentioned, there are definitely pages that are opened by default on browser starts/restarts, along with tab modal dialogs (also on restart). But yeah - I can't recall seeing a popover featuring Pocket that just happened by itself.

You say "system has big problems"... so if you had magic power to pass any law and have everyone follow it, what would that law be?

I am guessing you didn't like how Amazon was profiting from ElasticSearch's work.. so would you retrospectively change ElasticSearch's license to SSPL? Or maybe help all companies: prohibit all permissive licenses (Apache, MIT, BSD etc..) entirely and force people to either AGPL, SSPL or fully commercial? Or make a law that no free software license may apply to companies with >$1 billion in revenue?

While we are at it, how about prohibiting commercial flat-rate unlimited site licenses? The huge companies can take advantage of those too.

The thing is, I bet Elastic's original decision to use Apache was to get more users, at the expense of also getting more competition. Now they have their users but they don't like the price they paid for it. This may have been a bad business decision on their part.. but I don't see "big problems" there, companies make bad business decisions all the time.
It doesn't though. The attacker could simply present their own self-signed certificate - and there'd be no reliable way to determine which certificate is the right one.

You could mitigate this with some kind of (non-scary) trust-on-first-use UI. But even that doesn't help you if you're unlucky enough to encounter the attacker before the real site. (Which isn't even that unlikely if the attacker is e.g. an ISP proxying all connections by default)

What LE gives you is a signed statement saying in effect: "we've seen that the owner of this cert can make changes to the domain which are visible from multiple different network locations - so they are very likely the real owner of the domain and not a MITM".

That's valuable, even if it doesn't tell you anything about who that entity is.

What I absolutely would wish for is some mechanism to include a cert hash in the URL. Then you could e.g. distribute QR codes with the cert hash embedded and circumvent the trust problem that way. Then, I agree, there would be no reason not to use self-signed certificates with that technique.

A few decade ago nobody really cared about black history month in Canada — it was basically a non event. Now I see black history month based ads and programs on TV all the time in Canada. Black issues have a disproportionate media and culture presence in Canada given the small proportion of black people in Canada. You also see numerous Canadian companies making statements regarding black issues and events. You never hear about Asian history month or Native American history month. You also never hear Canadian companies making statements regarding Native issues and events such as the genocide of Native people and culture just a few decades ago. In Canada BLM has greatly raised the profile of black issues and somewhat effectively pushed the “silence is compliance” narrative which many companies have bought into.
I generally do not hear loud vehicles directly next to me while driving down the road. Not cars or motorcycles. My own radio, tire noise, and engine noise is enough to drown out all but the absolute loudest, except maybe when I'm going very slow.
On the other hand, I often see studies where I'm quite curious to reproduce it and I just can't. Just today: saw a 2007 study from a university finding a correlation between sleep quality (deep sleep phase duration) and exposure to a GSM-frequency signal for 3 hours (a long, but not unusual/absurd, phone call) before sleep, even though the participants could not tell better than chance whether they had been exposed... would love to see if that reproduces even though the p value was not bad, but I just don't have the people nor the radiation calibration equipment nor the sleep lab nor anything.

Even so much as a survey is hard to properly reproduce, definitely more than a day's worth of work if you need to go out and find a random pool of surveyees. Opening up a spreadsheet in your favorite software sounds fairly approachable by comparison, assuming it has no fancy university-level mathematics in it.

Whether it is fun to talk to people for a survey vs. sit through pages of arithmetic is a whole other question, though.

> if you have to properly escape parameters in SQL to avoid injection attacks, SQL shouldn't exit in the first place!"

Yes, this aspect of SQL is poorly conceived because the only way is to manipulate it with text processing.

Parameters should be inserted into a query language using AST manipulation, like a Lisp backquote.

Now within a particular program, we can wrap something like that around SQL generation, and solve the escaping problems in one place.

That approach doesn't apply to character data, which has to be literal and primitive in many situations.
It would be really cool if godoc had a way to generate a module-specific documentation site like Rust can with `cargo doc`: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-doc.html

Basically, read the go.mod and generate the doc page for that. It doesn't seem like a big leap from what godoc already does, but AFAIK (and please correct me if I'm wrong), godoc doesn't have an option for this.

The reason I like it is it's basically a super simple "give me all the docs that are relevant to this project" command. I think it's super clever that cargo does this!
For what it's worth, Apple's documentation is very good, and it's frustrating they don't advertise it very well.

I said nothing about having hosting "be exclusive to the original creators"

If AWS/Google/Azure had to pay some fee to the original creators to provide a hosted version, they would definitely do it for a popular enough product.

Everyone would still get all the benefits, except AWS/Google/Azure get a little less money (down from some hundreds of millions) and the creators get a little more than $0.

I fail to see the negative effects on any entity there except what would amount to rounding error in AWS costs. Doesn't actually seem so integral to the value proposition of open source. Definitely seems "mostly open source".
Why You Should Be Wrong More Often
One of the first things taught in the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) course is that "Loud Pipes Save Lives" is a myth: cars can't hear your loud bike until it's too late, and defensive riding is infinitely more effective than relying on other drivers to hear you. The majority of motorcycle accidents are multi-vehicle. I have been riding for many years on everything from sport bikes, dual sport, all with stock exhaust, even no exhaust on an electric bike, and I have never been involved in an accident- defensive riding works. Loud pipes should have been made illegal decades ago.
I’ve read a few of his books, this and the “open borders” one. I think the problem is it’s kind of “preaching to the choir” for people who are already ideologically aligned. As in, the solutions he advocates, despite being backed up with lots of numbers, are not actually convincing anyone who wasn’t already receptive.

So it just gets dismissed as “not even wrong” unfairly or not.

Generating solar or wind power does not take the land out of use.

Both are compatible with agriculture. Agricultural productivity under partial solar cover is higher than without, for less water input. Pasture is probably the easiest to make compatible, and there is a very great deal of pasture, although little of it is irrigated. The prospect of less irrigation need will drive solar onto more intensive cropland.

Construction costs and land costs are not independent. A big part of the construction cost is the cost of labor. You can't do construction work remotely, so you need to hire workers who live relatively near the construction site. Which means they have to pay the high housing costs so you need to pay them more. It's a feedback loop where the more expensive housing is, the more expensive it will be to build housing.

> The harmonic series cannot explain frequency ratios which does not have a power of 2 as a denominator

Let's consider the major sixth.

It is the 27th harmonic of the fundamental. Expressing that in the conventional octave range (1:1 .. 2:1) requires us to write it as 27:16. This is Pythagorean major sixth.

JI can use the same ratio, but it is common there to use 5-limit tuning, which builds all intervals from ratios built from powers of 2, 3 and 5. This is conceptually equivalent to the sort of "ratio distortion" that occurs with ET, though for an entirely different purpose.

The Pythagorean major sixth (27:16) is expressed in decimal form as 1.6875. The closest 5-limit tuning ratio to that is 5:3, or 1.6666.... By contrast, the ET major sixth is 2^(9⁄12) or 1.681793.

The description of the 5-limit tuning major sixth as 5:3 is no different in its deviation from the Pythagorean version (27:16) than the reason why the ET version also does not match the ratio given by the harmonic series: musical/compositional preference. Neither version precisely matches the harmonic series, but has its own musically-rooted reasons to use a nearby ratio (that will sometimes be expressed with denominators that are not powers of two).

I would also note that in some other musical cultures, they also express the same musical ambivalence. In some Indian scales for example the pitch denoted "Dha" can be either 27:16 or 5:3 with respect to "Sa", the fundamental.

So sure, in one sense, "the harmonic series cannot explain frequency ratios which does not have a power of 2 as a denominator" is true. But the full explanation is that "the real ratio is fully explained by the harmonic series, but for performance/instrument/compositional reasons, many music cultures use a ratio that deviates from the real value, just as is the case for much of ET tuning and other ratios derived from the harmonic series".
Yup. Harleys with the stock exhaust have a beautiful sound. What a shame that people destroy that iconic engineering in the pursuit of "loud". I cringe every time I see a Harley modified like that.

That's really too bad, IMO Linux and FOSS desktops really shine in the subjective-fit zone, not this consensus area.

Once you start having to please..._waves hand at group of people_...first the fun goes out the window, and then you're playing to an entrenched userbase who are bringing most of their expectations from their subjective past experiences anyway.

Personally when I started using desktop Linux purely for me, and not "as someone who speaks for a professional userbase" I was able to finally appreciate it and become more of the OS-native power-user that my Windows & Mac experiences wouldn't let me be when I tried to force them along on the ride.
This is a neat idea -- using a temperature range for extrusion that can cross the color-changing range to allow multicolor 3D printing.

This same basic idea -- filament properties that change dramatically across the relatively small extrusion temperature range -- has been explored recently with foaming agents. The first I ran across was lightweight PLA, where by controlling temperature the amount of foaming is adjusted for about a 2x variation in density. Beyond that, I know that lightweight ASA is out there. Probably the most interesting use of foaming agents I've seen is with TPU, though, where the variation in density is less important than the variation in durometer, again over a pretty wide range.
