I had this issue regularly occurring when playing videos in Firefox. I switched to Safari and that issue completely went away. Sometimes I'll check back on newer Firefox builds and unfortunately that issue persists.
I don't think it's surprising at all, especially in a big company like Facebook. At that kind of company, at that level, it's a snakepit. The more you did for the company, the deeper the knife in your back will go.
Since when network access is standard? Access to filesystem is not, use of hardware components but for display and speaker is not, internet access is not... Maybe you are referring to the exploitation of "intents" to exchange with networking enabled applications?
It's a critique of OpenSSL, which also makes no attempt to think of user experience.
I suppose I came to understanding programming in an unusual way. I first knew a bit of BASIC and could write simple programs in it, how the computer actually worked was a baffling mystery.

My first semester in college, I took a class in semiconductor physics. That started with the PN junction, to diodes, to transistors, to gates, to flip-flops, to clocking, to registers, adders, etc.

Later on, this made learning microprocessors straightforward, then assembler, then C, etc.

I suppose it would have been faster to go straight to programming, but I am happier knowing how it works all the way down.
Correct, we are betting that avg user will cost us less than $10 in the future. Our current userbase is skewing towards HN - heavy usage. If that does not happen, we will have to change the price. Cost per search is unlikely to (significantly) change without (significantly) jeopardizing the quality of results we are known for.

Wow, that is incredible!
It appears that git currently has experimental, non-backward-compatible support for sha256, so I'd guess "as soon as they finish fixing any issues and figure out a nice upgrade path", with the caveat that there's little pressure because it's not actually a practical problem yet and isn't expected to be one in the foreseeable future.

>had half the VRAM removed at the last minute

I've never heard anything suggesting that video RAM was removed. AFAIK, the SNES was planned to have only 8KB of main RAM, which was increased to 128KB by release. I think any support for 128KB VRAM was for future proofing, like if the SNES's hardware was reused for arcade systems, or something.

https://www-chrismcovell-com.translate.goog/secret/sp_sfcpro...

The Genesis's video chip can support 128KB video RAM as well, which besides allowing a larger variety of tiles on screen and doubles DMA bandwidth. It was used in the System C2 arcade board. The Genesis was originally designed to use 64KB video RAM, but after hearing about the SNES, support for 128KB was added. Then they decided that the extra RAM didn't make enough of a difference to justify the cost, so they left it at 64KB.

Not just IE - things like MSN Messenger and uxtheme.dll had lots of mods. I also remember greasemonkey (from a bit later of a time) being huge, too.

I wonder why it's less of a thing now. Is it because of the increased difficulty (frequent updates), or is it because there isn't as much need for such mods?

I have no idea how i ended up buying this book last year (haven‘t heard of it from anyone)… the best book i have read in recent years. Definitely the best tech book i have or will ever read (haven‘t even finished „code“ fully yet, lol).

Also: i found a book i always was too scared of starting to read (because i didn‘t want to feel like the biggest idiot trying to read it):
„The Annotated Turing“.
When i looked at it again after having read „Code“, i saw it was also written by Petzold.
The way he wrote „code“ i know, that this will be great. I am very excited to read it when i have a few hours to fully block for it.

When I started, I had Rosetta for almost everything, and I was able to do my workflow without Docker (super broken that was). Several months later, I reset my Mac and reinstalled everything, this time with far fewer Rosetta parts. Several months later, did it again, and this time was completely free of anything needing Rosetta because everything was native by that point.

27 years on VM here (currently 8.2.0b), using fetchmail to download mail locally. I tried Gnus a couple of times for Usenet but never stuck with it because of Emacs's lack of multithreading.

I've never tried Gnus for email because VM has always met my needs. It does an amazingly good job rendering HTML mail into something readable on a text terminal (the way I use VM and Emacs), complete with keyboard-navigable links that VM sends to an external web browser, and for the few times I need to see the actual graphics, a single keystroke sends the message's source to said browser.

Personality Crisis (which is nowadays included with VM, as opposed to being separate back when you used it) automatically rewrites the From: line based on the message I'm replying to. Using BBDB, Personality Crisis also does so when creating a new message based on the recipient. Mairix handles superfast searching of my decades of mail archives.

You know this of course, but I can't overstate to other people how nice being able to modify/extend VM with Elisp is. I rewrote the link-navigation code to handle all link types, and wrote the code that the abovementioned single keystroke invokes.

VM isn't perfect. I know that I could do all of the above with Gnus, and quite possibly am missing out on other features that VM lacks. Overall, though, I really feel like I have a superpower for email handling with it.
Didn't Opera already have tabs by 2002? IIRC Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox had them since the first releases as well, or at least very early on in the early 2000s.

Seems like a service company disguised as a SaaS company which says their revenue is coming from "SaaS" but actually they have an internal tool which doesn't scale and 4000 engineers that are doing basically one-off services. But given you say you are a SaaS company you can get 50x multiples (or you could in the past). but the moment there is downturn the "scam" is floating up because every engineer you cut is directly affecting revenue due to the underlying service model.

Interesting to see how many more "SaaS" companies like this are in the market
An article from MIT:TR in the early 2000s always stuck with me as an example of how intricate and interconnected genes really are. Researchers using fruit flies found one born with white eyes, and they narrowed the mutation to a specific gene. They were able to modify it in vivo to reliably produce white eyes, but the change had an unexpected second outcome, which was that white-eyed males would only attempt to mate with other males.

Years later, there was a group who cited that fruit fly paper when they proposed the same methodology to control mosquito populations, but I'm not sure if they ever recreated the male preference. The mosquito gene editing did pan out, but the method is different in that it doesn't allow females to survive, while males will go on to mate with other non-edited populations and spread the female-killing gene.
FWIW, 17th Century Europe didn't have access to the technology and knowledge that we have today, that do not require any fancy devices or technology to improve our efficiency of resource usage in the hypothetical scenario discussed in this thread.

At the time, there were many incentives to deforestation, but the main ones were to procure wood as fuel, and to clear arable land for agriculture and animal husbandry. I can at least speak to these two.

It was true in the past, that wood was an unsustainable source of heat. However, with modern wood-burning stoves, even in the nordic latitudes, this is no longer true.

Sweden and Norway have done a lot of innovation in this department in the last 80 years, because it's a matter of national security for them. They've found that it's actually more sustainable, affordable, and environmentally-friendly, to use wood as the main heating source for homes, rather than oil or coal. Again, this is only true if you're using wood stoves whose construction is informed by modern (post-WWII) knowledge. But the stoves are cast-iron, their manufacture doesn't require nanotechnology, pure silicon, etc.

On the agricultural front, it's difficult to overstate how far we've come in the last 400 years. Our caloric yield per acre on the same acreage of arable land would be much higher, today, even if you were to take away the products of modern industry (fertilizers, etc) that would presumably be inaccessible in an apocalypse.

Especially given access to new world domesticated produce, like potatoes, maize, various nuts, squashes, legumes, yams, tomato, maple, rubber.

ime the books are very loaded on theory and it's hard to connect that to practice and concepts. I don't know of any book that touches on what poles/zeros mean or why they're useful outside what are (seemingly) contrived properties of formulae like stability. It's one of those things that's just useful to go through in a university course, even just auditing it. The practical problems and lectures are extremely useful, particularly due to the overhead of notation (the practice is relatively young and derived from a different tradition of education, and a lot of contemporary notation can seem a little foreign, or is filled with shorthand).

Applied Digital Signal Processing by Manolakis & Ingle is the book I always turn to for reference and the code examples don't suck. Oppenheim & Schafer is a classic but frankly only useful as a reference, that tome is a bit dated otherwise. The Scientists and Engineer's guide to DSP is also not bad as a practical text.
I did start out saying I simply do not believe them. They don't have data from the time they were down, presumably. That is a big hole in the data for one instance.

>assuming they don't do basic sanity checking.

I'm sure they have a million ways to say its not my fault. I started writing a huge response about human nature and the incentive to massage stats but I think you will dismiss it. If a system is down its a great opportunity to get a blame hedge in case sales are not as good as you predicted. There is no incentive to take an honest look if a brief downtime really affected sales in a meaningful way. I doubt anyone even does look. They just say this it what it would have been in our models if the downtime did not happen.
Widespread resistance to particular antibiotics is also the product of an advanced industrial society where new variants of pathogens spread easily amongst billions of internationally-travelling city dwellers and widespread prophylactic use of the antibiotic creates strong selection pressures.

Its a bit different after an apocalypse. In theory, an isolated post-apocalyptic community could roll a 1 and get bacteria that is resistant to locally available natural and stockpiled antibiotics in their community, but that's quite low down their list of concerns.
If you bring up a remote VM and set DOCKER_HOST to something like "ssh://root@$IP" and have key auth set up, the local docker CLI works as it always did but using a remote dockerd via ssh. I do all my container builds this way (on remote x64) because hotel/LTE internet sucks and I would rather download 47363367373 npm packages 4700 times on datacenter gigabit.
I suspect that's right... But what have they replaced it with?

And I mean that in both directions. I've always consumed more RSS than I've generated and it's still my primary source for tech news. Do they just rely on service-level federation? Seems pretty sad.
Since you are posting on hacker news, most of the people here will tell you that it's a bad deal.

I think it's a good deal. It's not great, but good. You still keep half of your salary, got funding right from the start, can develop/build the company, learn a lot, and have someone to ask for advise which you shouldn't underestimate, and probably will have no trouble raising a second round with their help.

With that, you will build value much faster than a "normal" start-up founder, which doesn't have the connections to raise money, doesn't have the money to hire employees, etc... I think it's safe to assume that you win at least 1 year. This will increase your company value and thus make your 10% now worth much more than someone having 100% and is right at the start.

If all fails, you only lost half of your salary (no debts creating the company), but gained all the experience and are much more fundable for a new startup.

> I think you might be the one lacking the historical background. Blacklist comes from King Henry and his list of political enemies.

1. You seem to assume that historical background is synonymous with "words first origin". By historical background I meant to refer to not being fully aware of just how much racism toward black Americans was and is still present everywhere. I say so as a non-American myself. It's not present in your every day, one cannot fully grasp it.

2. While the term Blacklist does not originate from colonialism, it seems to have first been used in the 1639 tragedy "The Unnatural Combat" by Philip Massinger.

3. Not only did I not find any evidences supporting your fun "fact" about "King Henry and his enemies", the name Henry was quite popular as far as kings go, but non of them even lived in the 17th century according to this list:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rulers_named_Henry

4. Back to the term - while blacklist _origin_ has nothing to do with racism, it's counterpart, "white list" was first used in the mid 19th century (not sure where it was first used exactly) - while the people who made these terms popular in the 20th century perhaps were not racist, they also were also did not think about how black people would feel about labeling white with "allow" and black with "reject", and I while I can't hold it against them since it might have been different times, the fact that some people are trying so hard to keep using these words, despite being triggering toward some people is hard for me to understand without making cynical assumptions about their motives.

> I find realpoliticking innocous words to be toxic and problematic.

While I'm not sure what Realpolitik has to do with any of it, but your issues with it, whether justified or not, do not make the comments on that issue any less toxic.

It lets you efficiently have multiple checkouts of different branches at once without duplicating the actual git storage. It also lets you leave a worktree where it is while working on another - for instance, you could have editor windows in different branches at the same time, which isn't an option if you only have one checkout and have to stash+checkout to switch branches.

No, they don't. The employee gets to decide if the salary is high enough to meet his needs. If it isn't, the employee can negotiate for more, or go elsewhere.

I don't think Sparta's victory in the Peloponnesian War proves they were better at war. The war was a stalemate on land between Sparta and Athens. Athens ruled the waves but couldn't parlay that into victory. Athens committed a major blunder in its invasion of Sicily and that allowed Sparta to win.

The amount of blatant hypocrisy in this tweet is mindblowing. If I knew I wasn’t smart enough to run a company I’d at the very least get someone to proofread my tweets before exposing my lack of logical consistency and awareness.

This whole leak/rant is something that should have been addressed internally. Shot in the foot.

A lot of effort goes into attempts to post-hoc rationalize the war in Ukraine. This war is entirely against Russian national interests, can be stopped by Putin at any minute and can not be rationalized.

The simple truth is that Putin succumbed to a temptation few dictators can resist, the temptation of a short-and-glorious-war.
