Thinking that performance is that subjective is a bit weird to me. I can’t imagine a world in which it eg. not being able to play precisely or fast would be considered better.
I believe we're getting to the point where, if we regress below the level of viable industry capable of running any of our high-tech energy sources (whether it's oil, coal, nuclear or any of the renewables), then we aren't getting it back ever - nor will any future civilisation, because without huge geological shifts all the sources will be beyond reach of primitive tech...
What makes you think that someone who works for a business and has access to their cameras couldn't stalk people? How about someone hacking into the systems on some given area to track people?
I've been exploring these thoughts. I think the more we are lost in our own thoughts, thinking about the "I", the more unhappy we become. Every emotion stems from the "I". When we let go of the "I", the ego, things calm down. So ultimately, to become happy, I think you could try to train your mind to let go of your ego. This is a hard thing to do, but not impossible. Psychadelics, and meditation help.

This is not a mind trick either, it's the ultimate truth? There's no me & you. In 150 years, every human being alive today is going to die. We are all going to dissolve into the same thing. So, I can argue that, with time being the difference, you and I are the same!

There's no us vs them. It's just us.

It also fits in line with "doing something for others"[1]. The more we concern ourselves with others, the better we feel. Because we lose ourselves.

I think it also fits in line with if you can get in "flow" states while doing some activity. If it is what you can concern yourself with. The end result is the same - you lose yourself in it, and feel calm.

The comment[2] below raises a good question -- I used to think the same. That happiness is overrated, and we should rather go after suffering. But there's a flaw in that thinking. Suffering is not a necessary condition to do something useful. One can recognise a lack of something, work towards fulfilling a desire, and still be happy.

By the way, could someone please write about these terms? "non-dual self-knowledge", "duality, multiplicity and relativity". I googled but I don't quite understand them.
not gonna lie I definitely used a soft G before learning otherwise
The stupid base mb air is so good, and I say this as someone who was consistently buying $2500 15" mb pros in the intel days..
I only have one kid, but similar situation for me.

I learned something about jobs during this time. The effort and stress involved is not proportional to the pay. Some jobs are just hell and you can go next door and make the same thing in a pleasant environment.

I ended up taking about half my skills off my resume. I'm no longer a full stack dev, I'm a backend engineer. I removed the stuff about DevOps and project/product management. Then when interviewing I found a role that paid the same as my previous job but required me to only wear one hat rather than 5 of them.

Life is much better now.
> That worked because IE was a steaming pile of garbage after years of neglect.

From our perspective that’s true. But it also worked fine for a great many non-technical people.

> That was also a time when the web was younger and users were more techno-literate.

That’s not true. By the time IE6 arrived most offices had either dedicated internet terminals or their workstations were connected to the internet. U.K. libraries had been providing internet access for years already, several years of kids would have used the internet at college, and dial up was already common in homes.

I remember this well because I managed network infrastructure for schools and offices in the late 90s and early 00s.

> I’d argue that IE was a hedge against the web displacing the OS. After it succeeded in killing off Netscape there wasn’t much to hedge against

No need to argue there, Microsoft have admitted that themselves. But the motives behind IE don’t alter the point we are discussing (though still interesting).

> Chrome on the other hand is not a hedge, it’s a key strategic interest for Google

The two point aren’t mutually exclusive: It’s a hedge against users not consuming Google’s advertising.

Much like how IE was a core strategy for Microsoft as well as a hedge to keep people on Windows.

> It’s a great product from the users perspective, free, fast, leading experience

So was internet explorer. It was developers that hated IE, not your average desktop user.

IE was faster than FF, free (unlike Opera) and compatible with more sites too (if just because web developers didn’t have much other choice than to support IE).

> Firefox is a great counterbalance but don’t expect it to lead with average consumers any time soon

I don’t ever expect it to lead again. And it’s also worth noting it took years to displace IE last time around so why would anyone expect it to happen quickly this time?

> From what I can tell it’s playing catch up on core features and it’s innovating in areas where more techno-literate users might care.

Funny enough this is similar to Netscape back when IE first started to take the edge (back in the IE 3 and 4 days when IE was actually a good browser).

What people sometimes forget is that IE didn’t just dominate because it was installed on every Windows desktop. While that certainly helped (as well as being the reason it remained dominant after it stagnated), it had already largely beaten the competition by the time IE 4 was released. IE was, for a while, genuinely the best browser.

So the situation then and now isn’t that different.

Containers can run anywhere you have emulation (Docker, Podman, etc. support it) but it’s not like it’s hard to build them, either - that’s the point. I was curious how much of a problem this would be but in practice it’s been something I’ve needed to care about only a couple of times (e.g. Java 8 has some race conditions under emulation causing the JVM to panic).
Numbers are useful abstractions with no empirical evidence to back them up. That's my point. Numbers are a way of interacting with the physical world and reproduce certain results, but numbers themselves are abstract and have no physical properties.

As for empiricism, I certainly did not throw it out. It's useful, but not for everything. Say I have three knives in my kitchen drawer: a butter knife, a steak knife, and a chef's knife. Empirically speaking, which knife is the best knife? You can tell me all the physical properties of the knife, and the metallurgy of the knife and the shape and weight of each knife, but which knife is the BEST knife, from an empirical point of view? Empiricism has no answer UNTIL you, a person, say "I want to dice this onion" and empiricism can then arrange the knives in a hierarchical order according to which one will work best. But science has nothing to say about "best" or "worst" until an agent in the world has a purpose for which they want to use something. Then empiricism is a wonderful tool.

Another, shorter example: empiricism can help you build a rocket, but has nothing to say about whether you should aim it at the moon, or at a neighboring country.

And one more, just for fun: the empiricism that was used to detect and classify climate change is the same empiricism that was used to make the internal combustion engine. Empiricism is blind as to intent or motive. Empiricism is a toolset, but has no tools for determining a value hierarchy within the bounds of empiricism itself. Empiricism can only go to work once a person has given it a purpose or goal to work towards.

How will you pay for things in “web4”? If the answer is “you don’t” it makes tons of things impossible (any sort of large scale hosting, storage, commerce)

If it’s credit cards..we’ll now you’ve created a massive centralized link in your “p2p” system.
It is perfectly possible not to cater to every feature request, without being rude. A single sentence like this:

I don't have the time, energy, desire, nor language knowledge to implement this feature.

conveys completely the same information as Kovid's comments, with the benefit of not being aggressive and demeaning.
The problem isn't Mozilla/Firefox in this case. It is Canonical/Ubuntu.

Firefox on most other distro (debian based or otherwise) can be installed with the proper system package manager.

Additionally Mozilla offers a flatpak version of Firefox which I strongly prefer over snap.

It's just Canonical's disdain to anything not homegrown that's behind this move.

As a photographer myself, how do you think street photography happens? Sometimes the mundane stuff is unstaged, and when I was shooting it, you end up throwing a lot of stuff away anyway. In North America, you have no right to privacy in a public space. I understand why people are antsy about being photographed / recorded in public, but they direct that anger at the person doing it instead of the laws that allow it.

Besides, the person you see and who is generally being intentionally visible isn't usually the one you have to worry about.
>Yup. the fed sees it coming too. in one of their speeches they even hinted that the dollar may not be the global reserve currency forever.

I'm certainly not Nostradamus. Lots of people see it coming.

It's a huge benefit to being the reserve currency and when the USD loses it or really what's likely to happen... become far less important. The American people will be hurting quite a lot.

The big question, will the Yuan become much larger? They sure won't be if they keep spreading their efforts. Crypto might be something but would be hard.

We shall see what happens.

I have considered something, what if the USA knows this is coming and they made it appear like the USA is about to collapse. To have their enemies bet against them but then flip the book and they overextended. Sure does look like Russia right now overextended by a lot.
Like I said, it would be a huge investment. But without huge investments, we will not get rid of the dependency of oil or dictators either way. The question is what kind of investment. And the studies of desertec implied that it is technical possible. Since then solar dropped in price a lot and oil the other way up.

And if you have a european wide grid (high voltage, direct current) you would not need to store for months, because the sun is still shining in the south and wind is blowing somewhere. You only would need to store for the rare situations of little wind and little sun.

It will be a mix either way, I am not against nuclear as base load, or backup. But they are expensive, too.
Another mostly forgotten aspect is that there are designs that explicitly work without enrichment, so no lengthy and limiting process of enrichment necessary (now, postprocessing the waste to separate materials to mix into new fuel, that would be useful)
In the US, it is legal to photograph and film in public as long as there is not an expectation of privacy, such as a restroom. And it should remain legal. If I want to film a police officer arresting someone, they can't tell me to stop. If I'm on a public sidewalk filming a private business, they can't tell me to stop.

You can't legally use someone's image in an advertisement without their consent. But that's different than having the right to film in public. If I'm filming and you walk in front of my camera, you don't have the right to force me to stop filming. You don't own public space.
Negotiation of capabilities is already an established part of USB-C. In that light, it seems reasonable.
Nothing surprising IMO as it's about 10 years old. Since you did not use it much, I would say the mechanical structures would be still very sound but it's the electronics were the culprits. If you kept it turned on, current would have aged the components and if any of the critical ones failed, it's done. But it might have failed even sooner if you rarely turned it on as moisture accumulated in the components and when it should get to some threshold, it got busted as soon as it turned on.

Interesting. When reading in paper and after training for speed reading, having those fixed points would slow me down.

In computer screen I adjust the text, making it narrower, and can read fast. With pdfs and sites I can't do that so I read slower.

In smartphones the screens are already too narrow and this technique works!
I don't have links to studies but last time I checked and from anecdotal experience reading speed with high comprehension is limited by information throughput in the brain. It's also why languages spoken faster carry less information per word, because the limit is information processing. To experience that if you are a good reader, you can try to speak out loud a sentence while memorizing a second sentence and see that you'll not have process and understand the words until you have spoken them, even if you have read and stored them (short sentences like in TFA, obviously doesn't work on HN).
> the result would be something like unsafePerformIO in current Haskell, where it's hard work to ensure that it's used correctly.

Not really, unsafePerformIO has its place - just its not in typical Haskell programs.

I've never actually seen numbers which take into account pumped storage, grid interconnects, actual weather, low-hanging-fruit demand shaping and the anticorrelation of wind and solar but I wish somebody would produce some.

There's a lot of very shallow analysis out there though that cheerleads some approach with some very trivially refuted assumptions.

My sense is that the price of all of those things combined is currently about 90% of the cost of nuclear power official and about 60-75% of the cost of nuclear power that pays for its own disaster insurance.

While my own model is most assuredly flawed, I havent really seen a good alternative.
I love flatpak. I consider snap to be just bloatware I have to wipe of my system on installation.

Hopefully soon I'll move off Ubuntu to greener pastures. Fedora Silverlight seems particularly intriguing.
That was my situation too - I wasn't drinking much and decided I'd do some reading to decide whether I should keep drinking intermittently or just ditch it entirely. Once I started reading then I couldn't believe I'd ever drank in the first place.

Mozilla, if anything, does the equivalent of a security guard clicking away in the entrance of a shopping mall so that in case of a fire they know how many people are inside.

Google on the other hand can connect your live location with your search queries, your photos, your email, your browser history, with all of your friends’ listed items. Let’s not goddamn compare the two as counting how many people use firefox is not at all intrusive to noone. They are simply not comparable.
I've not been part of designing systems at that scale (yet!) but isn't event sourcing kinda envisioned for just these kinds of problems in mind?

Like you would have all of that "core" data as Kafka topics and can safely interact with them without affecting the core services?

I know the answer is always "legacy" and "its been designed that way from the beginning" but I was wondering what do you think would have been the right way to design something like this to mitigate risk of current / future problems?

A GitHub issue is not equivalent to a direct message to the developer. Other people can see GitHub issues/feature requests, and sometimes, one of them steps up and does the legwork of fixing/implementing the thing.

> But I don't buy the idea that every interaction should be sugar coated.

Me neither, Kovid has every right to communicate whatever way he wants to, and nobody can take that right away from him.

Just as I have the right to consider him a rude [insert generic insult].

I'm self-hosting jitsi in a "regular" VPS (4GB/4cpu). Though Docker is a popular and supported option. In the years I've been using jitsi it's improved immensely. The current stable version is quite usable, works fine when participants have good internet connections. I mostly use it with 2-5 people. Once installed and configured very little attention has been required.

I'd agree that for larger meetings the public server at https://meet.jit.si is a better option. AFAIK it's trustworthy, but of course my own instance provides greater assurance of privacy. Anyway I'm confident that's true, though I couldn't give a 100.000% guarantee...
I don’t know, it seems like the consequences of fraud change significantly once someone has stepped into the realm of medical research. Publishing fraudulent research seems like it is, at the very least, medical malpractice and should affect the author’s ability to practice medicine.

I used to use vueprint as my go-to image viewer on windows.

VueScan is pretty good. No drivers, OCR works well. The UI is clunky and kind of buggy sometimes, but scanning works really well (I did have problems with a specific scanner which became unstable. Could be the MFP itself though)
That service exists, though. The hospital specifically referred them to AA.

Slightly off-topic - while I know that there are these lists of “crazy long German words” to make fun of each one of your examples besides the “Donau..” I actually used normally in conversations in the past.

Even just a couple days ago I came across “Personalisierungsinfrastrukturkomponente“ [0] in a news article, so it is not just a rumor that Germans like long-ass words :)

[0] Apparently these are the devices used by the government to verify passports and / or fingerprints of refugees.
Ironically (given the GP comment) this tech also died because of their aggressive attempt to commercialise it.
I fully believe the M1 is game-changing, but that sounds like you're comparing it to an atrocious alternative. I have an HP Spectre x360 from 2018. The fans don't spin up unless I'm running heavy computation, and on battery, after 4 years, it still lasts about a workday.
Isn't the first step admitting you have a problem and wanting to fix it? There's not much one can do without patient consent (which I don't think is mentioned here).

Even then, the most the hospital can really do is counsel and recommend inpatient treatment at a specialized facility. I really hope the 'pushed out the doors comment was a slight exaggeration. They should have at least talked about the treatment options, given them a brochure/info for a treatment center. It's not much, but that's basically all they can do.

There is no expectation of privacy in a public area. So I don't see how there is a big difference.
> but the consequent deaths were incidental, not intentional.

Isn't this a bit naive? According to this reasoning, Holodomor death's weren't intentional as well, while most poeple argue that, since the effect of that policy could be easily predicted, they are, for all intents and purposes, intentional. I would apply the same standard to US sanctions against Iraq.

By number, most businesses that have cameras recording are also effectively 'a private person'. There's nothing stopping the owner of a business from using the footage they recorded in similar fashion.

The stronger argument would be one that you alluded to with the 'stalking you' part -- a person with a camera can choose to follow you or frame the shot a certain way. A CCTV camera is a fixed installation that can't individually be used to really follow you, and can be somewhat trivially avoided. In effect, a person with a camera can function as a _network_ of CCTV cameras, and I think that's what raises some heckles.
