I fired up Firefox and Chrome on Kubuntu on a 2008 iMac and was surprised to find that Firefox could play 1080p video on YouTube but Chrome kept dropping frames at 480p. It's definitely worth trying both to see which is faster.
Cool. Input to developer: offer gear numbers that are co-prime (or absolute primes) to each other. Results in maximum number of circles until you return to the original point.
I'm not sure if it is appropriate for this use case, but wouldn't it be possible to host it on Backblaze, distribute through Cloudflare for free traffic? Or even just a torrent.

I was going to say - it’s Germany. They still use cash for everything anyway.

Infuriating, really.
I still haven't found any except a local dating site that can detect my ad blocker in Firefox but not Chrome. Every other site that doesn't work in FF so far also doesn't work in Chrome.
I've been looking for something like that. Thanks. But ideally, I don't want to swithswitch profiles. I want to have muliple instances of FF open, each with a different profile. Just like Chromium based browsers and users.

Anything for that?
I don't know why you're bringing my emotions into it.

I don't think Discord should exist, and the fact that it's a commercial product shaped by the economic self-interest of one company is the reason it's so bad.

You talk about it like the commercial motives actually justify the negative properties. "Someone's making money! How can you object??"
That's only because you're not used to currying.

A function is “just” a constant.
The content linked from the article is unfortunately rather short on information but the video is well worth watching it.

Why are strings pulled with a particular force instead of just taut enough to wind wires around them? Does the inner string stay taut/"pre-stressed" because of the windings? I mostly wonder what warranted the effort to create a machine to wind strings by oneself though. A business selling bespoke strings, maybe?
In a lot of cities and countries you pay less taxes if your property is considered unsuited for rental or is just an empty plot of land. There is an incredible financial incentive to avoid providing housing as much as possible.
Outside of some 1-2 decades old frameworks, can you show me a singular example for any of your ObjectFactories? Because I really think that the field as a whole moved a bit away from such deep object hierarchies and even in OOP circles will try to use as few levels as possible.

Also, don’t forget that complexity can be divided into two categories: essential and accidental complexity. The former can’t be decreased at all. We should strive to minimize the latter of course, but we often forget about the first.

Just to be a bit more relevant - system boot is a very complex task, so the first type of complexity will be plentyful. It is basically a service/hardware dependency-graph. Sure, you can hard-code singular cases (previous init systems basically did that) but hardware and services are sufficiently different to not make it that feasible, and every single hard coded version can be buggy.

A declarative approach is much saner and it is no accident that basically every OS in wide use switched to that.
If any part of your requirements touch on security, performance, or reproducibility, then yes "broken" is the correct adjective here.
That's what I meant, sorry if I didn't explain it properly. If someone is offended by the UK flag, why/shouldn't they be the same offended if you call the language English? Like, the language denotes the country of origin, and the flag denotes the country of origin of the language, nothing more nothing less.
Fluorocarbons have huge GHG potential so any leak is most definitely an issue.

Hey, Keybase is owned by Zoom now, FYI..
> I've almost never had this happen with any AWS tool... Sure, there's drift possibilities, but those are controllable by mainly not letting humans do things, and not having multiple cooks in the kitchen changing things in automation, which are good ideas for terraform and Ansible to...

This is also what you do with Terraform: that's what the Terraform Cloud product is about (or you can just build a CI pipeline in your tool of choice with a blog post's amount of work).

It also sounds like what you're saying is that you can just avoid all these problems by having everything automated from day one, but that's not the reality in any employer I've ever worked for. Unless you're starting a company today and happen to have an experienced infrastructure engineer on staff from day one you're not getting that world.

Terraform state also comes in handy as an audit trail. Through versions of your state file, you can see how your infrastructure changed in the past (You could use S3 versioning or you could have Terraform Cloud manage the state file automatically).

Terraform Cloud turns that concept into a relatively powerful feature. It becomes a compliance record: who changed what and how it changed, along with diff files.

As another commenter pointed out, it really seems like the alternative tool you're using (CloudFormation) has its own concept of state, but it's just hiding it from you. Pulumi also has a concept of state. I haven't really seen an infrastructure automation tool without that concept.

Ultimately, these tools need to have some way to track what resource the code is referencing. Call that metadata or state, you have to track something. And if you come up with something that somehow avoids it, I have to ask why? It seems like trying really hard to make a car without doors that also prevents rain from coming inside: why not just leave the doors on the car?
Agree 100% though also sadly, I wonder if in practice website quality matters. Consumers are used to laggy shitty UIs and assume the problem is their 8-month old hardware.

Of course eventually poor products are unusable, but I wonder if position on the barely-usable-to-snappy generates much revenue differentiation.

And where do you think the TerraUSD invested in anchor came from?

That TerraUSD all came from people buying Luna and converting it to TerraUSD.

The root of demand for the Luna ecosystem was the 20% returns.

“… in an era in which people can’t eat a sandwich, let alone invent Calculus, without tweeting about it. I tweet, therefore I am.”

This is just a bias towards people who make themselves visible. I suspect that self-promoters have existed throughout history and that people laboring on interesting ideas in obscurity exist today.
Regarding DuckStation/SwanStation (Controversy)
The converse can be just as true, some indie dev instead of a feature-packed, stable dependency will reinvent the wheel because that a subset of those should be enough he/she thinks. Now that code can only handle 80% of the cases because it turned out the complexity of the dependency was not meaningless, and it is buggy and much less maintainable.

We do scale compute part down to zero after 5 mins of inactivity now (no active transactions). This 5 mins threshold is a random pick, it could be 1 min or 30 mins later, or even customizable by the end-user. Storage part is heavily multi-tenant, so it's always running and our main objective is to make resource utilization as effective as possible.

It still has a significant latency on the first connection attempt after suspend (1-2 seconds), but we are working on that and it seems to be realistic to put the startup time under 1 sec.

Pricing model is still work-in-progress, so cannot say much about it. Yet, my personal intention is to make it cost-effective for both end-user and us. I'd prefer to don't build a service with claims like 'here is your free-tier serverless Postgres with zero-latency on connect', which actually means that under the hood there is an always-running compute burning the investors money. Hope it's realistic to achieve :)

If you remove the artificial constraints on supply, then house prices will go down, and people will stop considering houses as an investment.

The price of a house should go down in time, just like the price of a car goes down in time. Or the price of any other good.
I like the idea of stateless (or at least not having to manage the state as in the case of CF) but I’d hate to see the performance times for API calls if one needed to do a search for tags to conduct a CRUD. Particularly if this were a multi-account setup.
You didn’t mention any single factual reason to not adapt it.

Isn’t the usual unix tools just little binaries? Also, IPC can very easily bloat the problem domain to much harder levels because now you have to deal with (de)serialization as well. So doing the same thing what systemd does with pipes would be an unholy mess.

This sounds like it inspired a video game controller called the Novint Falcon. Swappable grip on the end of 3 arms that could detect up/down/left/right/forward/back movement and also had decently beefy motors to give you that sort of feedback. I was super impressed by the demo software that has a part where you moved a virtual hand through various substances. Honey and molasses really felt like you were moving your hand through viscous liquid, you could feel the texture of a bumpy rock but not move through it, and most impressive to me was a sphere of ice that really felt like your hand easily slid along the surface.

It got first party support in a bunch of Valve games and a decent number of games had unofficial support through mods but it never really took off and I think the company now makes medical tools with the same sort of tech.

The lack of feedback in input devices beyond a little rumble is really disappointing. I think feedback is extremely important especially now that VR is starting to actually take off.
Data centers need this for space constraints, but if you're just the average Joe gamer I encourage you to think twice before considering liquid cooling (especially a custom loop).

Why do I say this? Because...my goodness, it gets expensive, and you're really not going to get much more performance or even noise reduction out of it (and like...don't you already wear a headset while you game?)

I've never understood the market for CPU AIOs especially. They're just so expensive compared to fitting a giant heatsink and fan on there, which will be quite quiet if it's large enough.
Most of your modern Linux infra is corporate. The large distros, the maintainers, the main contributors. The "community" is still free to do whatever they want and go use something else. (eg. Alpine is not using systemd)

Antitrust: Europa against Apple Wallet monopoly
The European Commission has informed Apple of its preliminary view that it abused its dominant position in markets for mobile wallets on iOS devices. By limiting access to a standard technology used for contactless payments with mobile devices in stores (‘Near-Field Communication (NFC)' or ‘tap and go'), Apple restricts competition in the mobile wallets market on iOS.
Assuming every resource has a name field, auto prefix it with "tf-"

An audit, and using the site as a person who requires accessibility would while developing. The automated tools are just a quick check to find anything blatantly wrong. I also suggest using WAVE and AXE for that purpose.

As you get deeper into accessibility you'll also find there isn't one single right answer to improve accessibility.
> Video heavy sites, especially YouTube. It loads extremely slowly compared to Chrome. And has much more video stuttering.

I recently had similar issues, and it turned out that Firefox’s cache was constantly nearly-full. Clearing the cache returned YouTube to normal.

When you choose a different profile in the Firefox Profile Switcher menu, it opens a new instance of Firefox with the new profile. The add-on experience will be very familiar if you've used Chromium's profile management features.

If you're trying to create a shortcut to Firefox that launches a profile other than the one you've selected as the default, the instructions for Linux and Windows are here:

https://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile

This is not necessary to use the profile feature, but some people prefer to launch profiles from shortcuts instead of a menu.
Sam got super rich in valuation because he owns a large part of FTX. Like CZ from Binance.

Sure, he also made a lot trading, but that's not how he became a billionaire.

Also, US has a long arm, this is why foreign exchanges forbid US citizens.

Insider trading has a very narrow scope, typically equities. To my surprise I learned that there is no such thing as insider trading in forex (from a legal point). But there are other laws that might apply to the client trading data you mentioned.
> neither is it in your favor.

That doesn't matter though. The fact he is retaliating in public over a post that only references public information, using private information, is inherently bad faith acting. The context is what makes it unprofessional.
At that time, Tesla claimed to be running battery swap stations, and was receiving massive subsidies from California for it. The entire point of the story is that the battery swaps were not being used even in situations where they would make the most sense, and the alternative was expensive and based on fossile fuels.

The implication is that Tesla was committing fraud, taking the subsidies and not in providing the promised service in exchange.
There is no reason to feel stupid. Browser containers are tricky and relatively new, and I was bitten by some quirks, too. Nevertheless, they're definitely worth it.
> Many have embedded trackers deep in fibreglass mouldings, and large vessels are satellite tracked so simply scuppering them is no longer an option.

Could you elaborate a bit on this part? Intentional sinking for insurance purposes, or to avoid having to pay for it to be scrapped?

I recall there’s some ship graveyards on the Turkish coast where they intentionally ram large cruise-liners into shore so they can scrap em. But I guess that’s more relevant for bigger ships with more steel etc?

By the time the tag has enough information to be useful, you are storing a TF state file in a tag. Anyway, I don't think people complaining about a s3 bucket for tf state actually has experience creating tools like tf.

Where are you getting those? (The ones I have seen--from like, Benqi/Compound--charge interest.)
You forget the tiny bit of detail how the absolute majority of the linux world voted in favor of systemd, often literally. Debian for example had multiple votes (in a system much more democratic than what we are used to in politics) on the issue where systemd won hands down in each case. Arch got to the same conclusion independently.

You know, the actual people that have to maintain packages, so they actually know what does it entail. So you can’t even claim that they don’t know what they voted on.

So if you call the democratic absolute majority’s choice hijacking, I have to believe you are the one doing the pushing.
I think you should allow people to have a space to tell their side. My side of the story is just as credible as his, the only difference is he's more well known, and if that alone is what you think matters most, it shows your bias.

That post was made 3 years ago. People change, and it does not invalidate the way I experienced what happened, even if I failed to articulate it effectively at the time. I only shared it to provide proof of the dispute, not to win sides.

That’s not quite the right way to put it. Client and Server have different roles, yes. That does not mean they have to be written using different languages. JavaScript on the server (in Node or Deno) is perfectly fine and scales reasonably well.

If we take a step back from the most well-known client-server system (the World Wide Web) and look at other examples, we’ll find that client and server are often developed together, in a single language and similar architecture.

there is a growing reaction against the JS-everywhere situation, using hypermedia & HTML over the wire rather than JSON data APIs

I am calling these applications Hypermedia Driven Applications or Hypermedia Oriented Libraries:

https://htmx.org/essays/hypermedia-driven-applications/

libs like unpoly, hotwire or my own htmx are all hypermedia oriented, recentering HTML and hypermedia as the core application architecture for your app

some other related essays:

https://htmx.org/essays/spa-alternative/

https://htmx.org/essays/a-response-to-rich-harris/

the really nice thing about the hypermedia approach is that it takes pressure off adopting JS/TS on the backend, since you no longer have a massive front end codebase already in JS/TS and it can be hard to justify having two different languages, models, etc. With hypermedia, you don't have this situation. I jokingly call this "stack" the HOWL stack: Hypermedia On Whatever you'd Like.
Gnome depends on logind which has a drop-in replacement not dependent on systemd. So no.
I don’t know. My school wasn’t very good, so I can’t imagine it was on any type of approved school list.
I fully agree and would add: Component-oriented frameworks like React/Angular/Vue/… give you the ability to easily test your components individually (in the sense of unit tests or integration tests or manual tests / storybooks). Most classic templating languages for the backend don't offer anything similar and doing that would also be quite challenging: Most of the time the backend controller rendering/populating a given template is deeply entwined with business logic and database calls – good luck separating those concerns after the fact.
My takeaway was that accessibility tools expect the websites they are checking not to be actively hostile to accessibility.

Yes, you’re certainly wrestling with a different circumstance than many others, if not most, if you’re from the area.

For someone from a place most people from the Bay Area would never deign to visit, I’m more than happy to go back and do the hard work to make it better. Work politicians and voters in California are incapable and unwilling to do.
Not only that. Every few weeks I come across a site that works better in Chrome than in FF or has some quirks (Google's spreadsheets are a good example - they feel slower in FF). Although I have no hope of changing the mindset of HNers working at Google, the rest of us could make a difference.

When you save money and never spend it, someone must remain a debt slave until you have spent your money. From a macroeconomic and historic perspective this has never happened which is why it is necessary to have inflation erode debts as otherwise people would be eternal debt slaves.
Same in general for companies. Internally, they are essentially tiny quasi-Communist (and generally secretive, isolationist and rather totalitarian) states complete with their own politburos, centralised top-down control and, theoretically, a common goal for all departments, the penalty for not buying into being exile.

This changes pretty abruptly at the boundary of the company into almost the exact opposite: a marketplace where it's every company for themselves, there's no common goal, and resources, money and ideas both, are jealously hoarded by each entity behind thick silo walls.

Obviously the analogy isn't perfect, but it's interesting how we're supposed to simultaneously operate in a much-vaunted capitalist context, but mostly interface to it through a thick layer of, basically, socialist systems.
I worked in a public school about 10 years ago.
