I am a big fan of LibreWolf. Along with Ungoogled Chromium, these browsers feel a lot closer to what browsers should feel like.

One of my favorite features of LibreWolf is truly disabled autoplay. If a site wants to autoplay, you have to allow it first, no exceptions. This might sound petty, but in a world where it feels like you have no control over anything, this small return to feeling like I am allowed to decide what happens in my own damn browser is liberating.

Note that Librewolf doesn’t autoupdate, but you can get notifications when an update is available using an unofficial extension.

You can use a package manager to install and update it, too. Even on Windows; it’s available in Winget.
> Disable WebGL to avoid fingerprinting

I don't know if this is done by default, but this is dangerous to do. A disabled canvas is itself a fingerprint, and can be more unique than your original fingerprint [1]. Canvas randomizers can have the same issues if they are not done properly. From what I've heard, the best mitigation is Firefox's `resistFingerprinting` flag, since it uses the same methods as Tor browser

> What is amazing to me is that Java could attract such a huge community

Why is it amazing? Java was a well-compromised piece of PLT design, by a geek friendly company known for its engineering chops, with a very cool (hackable!) VM that allowed for both compiletime and runtime magic, and all this over and above the fairly well equipped standard library. (Beyond that, concerted Java hype in late 90s was ~same as what we saw later with RoR, Scala, Go, and now apparently Rust. Java may not be cool these days but it was the shiny thing in late 90s.)
> People commit to their work and tell us when it’ll be done, if they fail we talk about it as a team. Team members quickly learn they must deliver and if they need help ask. We don’t delay timelines and I expected a clear “I think this will take days” if they need to delay, that’s fine, but they explain publicly and ask for help.

We have exactly the same strategy and it works very well.

> Those who were followers; who lacked discipline, failed faster and more obviously. Most software engineers produce more effort than they’re worth and skate by with meetings, “pair programming”, etc

This is so common and I am glad that remote work has been an effective extra filter. I mean, I don't mind mentoring junior devs, but also I am not a teacher and many of them seemed lacking total basics. Like they memorised algorithms but had no idea why they work or common issue was them just pasting code from Stackoverflow and then asking for help when it didn't work.
Hydrogen is largely produced via steam reformation, making it a natural gas powered battery that's shittier than electricity in almost every way.
Eating low-carb doesn't reduce weight directly, but indirectly. It reduces hunger because you don't get the sugar spike and subsequent crash which causes you to feel hungry 2 hours later. Instead, you get hungry 6 hours later. This helps reduce snacking between meals and total daily calories.

Low-carb also helps because the carbs you eat are turned to sugar which your pancreas then has to produce insulin to tell your body to push that sugar into fat cells, increasing weight.
Hot take: It’s fine when it happens to extreme hubris with paper wealth. It is not fine when it was someone unsophisticated chasing the herd who lost a meager sum that was meaningful to them. Comedy vs tragedy.

Same thing with Archegos (Bill Hwang) and their rapid failure. It’s the hubris that makes it fun to poke fun, the sun blastin’ Icarus’ wings clean off.

Awesome. Looking forward to additional content.

If possible, would be great to get Mark Brooker (Principal at AWS) to provide some notes on bridging the gap between CAP theorem and how AWS relaxes constraints for building out Elastic Block Storage (EBS).

Agreed. I've line managed people who have grown immensely during covid. I think the key is understanding the new medium... A remote office where conversations are encouraged to happen in the open and not by DM, is a better environment for juniors to learn than an office where there's closed rooms and knowledge moves in a more hierarchical way.
who are they going to sell those bitcoin to at that raised value?

who are those people going to sell them to at a greater value?

the only "value" it has is that someone believes that they can sell it for more.

eventually that stops being true and someone loses all the money that everyone else gained. It's zero-sum, it has to be, because the bitcoin itself produces nothing of value.
> The work also really isn't the same. Unless you're stuck in the 90's we aren't building servers, installing operating systems, installing applications and installing patches anymore.

I guess I am stuck in the 90’s then, I absolutely do all of the those still.

Not every thing is “sever less” you know.

Using conventional comments also forces me to rethink if my comment is really blocking or is just an optional suggestion and I can adjust the tone accordingly.
To loosen up AWS-entrenched customers and their much more varied use-cases, probably.
But then you wouldn't see them correctly on mobile browsers.
>Prefer fewer larger clusters with namespaces (and node pools if needed) to lots of tiny clusters.

People do this? I thought the whole point was to abstract everything away. You should have containers running on pods. You shouldn't care about what's in the containers or what metal the pods are running on.
Would multiple-cursors editing be an apt comparison? :-)
Also it's NOT corporate legal that makes ANY decisions - that's reserved for management hierarchy - legal is merely advisory to management and NOTHING MORE.
You can run it as a CLI directly on any ZIP file that you pass by path. I do want to port it to Zig though, to get rid of the NPM install bootstrapping, have a single binary, and also gain Zig's checked arithmetic and spatial safety.
How to verify domain ownership for a new user?
Are there products or ways to verify that a user's email address and their corporate URL are connected?

Here's the use case:
1. User signs up for a product
2. User submits their email and company's website
3. We need to verify if that company website is associated with that email.

We thought it could be as simple as $email == $URL

BUT we're seeing many cases where the email sending domain is different than the company's URL

How might one do this?
Critical thinking is the most overrated skill ever.

"Critical theorists" are the people who fetishize "critical thinking" and all it got them was to embrace cultural Marxism.

Constructive thinking is far better than learning how to shit on people, as the skill of critique teaches us...
Personally I have two tones I take in a code review comment: the "Should ... ?" form for when I want to raise awareness but otherwise leave it up to the other person, and the "I recommend ..." form for when I think there's a real issue. Especially in the latter case, I'll back it up with a real-world scenario of how it could cause a problem; either a bug, difficulty reading the code by future maintainers, or making it more likely to introduce a bug when the code gets refactored later. Finally, back-linking to documented standards if necessary to avoid the appearance of a me-against-you type of thing.
Please do. One of my favorite things about Hacker News is that it exposes me to a treasure chest of interesting and informative blogs and other content (both archival/“historical” and current) that would be unlikely to show up in my search results.
Not just highmem configs. You have to do any decent memory intensive workloads to be able to see difference. Memory Access Latencies are higher for AMD machines because of various reasons.
> The systems can only pull down the temperature around 25 degrees Fahrenheit. Is that true?

When sized correctly that is true. If you install an oversized system it can cool down even more (which answers your store question: they have an oversized system). An oversized system will cool the air too fast and not deal with the humidity correctly. There are other problems with an oversized system as well that someone who knows HVAC better than me can talk about..
Not really, except for the shorter gameplay duration. Going through a warp zone even enables the hidden X-1 1-UP mushrooms that normally require you get all the loose coins in the preceding X-3 level.
Oh wow! You are correct, I am very interested in it! Thanks for sharing! Honestly on most of my personal projects, I only use typescript via the jsdoc interface. I just never felt the need to get to 100% type safety for most projects. And I never liked how the types lend themselves to a style of programming which typescript can't support due to lack of runtime typing (eg multiple dispatch, function overloading, serialisation, etc). This project looks very cool, and shifts those tradeoffs for me! I'm going to need to give it a whirl!
FWIW, it doesn't require (or at least check) that you redirect for your whole site, just / on the apex domain. I've got a larger post elsewhere in the thread with detailed recommendations for how to use HSTS for modern browsers and let old browsers do http.
Some good books to get started:

Difficult Conversations by Stone, Patton and Heen

Crucial Conversaions by Patterson et al.

Difficult Conversations is about why difficult conversations are difficult. It's based on research done in the Harvard Negotiation project.

Crucial Conversations is an approach where you learn to recognize early when conversations become difficult, and teaches some techniques to use when they do.

There's plenty of real world use cases. The fact that you insist that there are none says much more about you and amount effort you've spent on researching the topic that it does about crypto.
Nobody is conflating Steph Curry with 'someone like me'.
Spot on. Not a movie to watch for the plot. True to the source in this. With Philip K. Dick's novels, reading for the "story" alone is totally missing the point.

Same for the Prime TV series, The Man in the High Castle. Again, true to the source in that the plot is moth-eaten lacework, but who cares? The world-building is great.
You should expect a large number of companies to ghost you. It's just part of the process.

I would say no - it's not part of the "process". Every company swears they are against ghosting (and are "shocked" when it gets publicly exposed), but they all keep doing it anyway. It's a reflection of the cynical, emotionally immature nature of this industry.
I actually found bare metal to be fairly pleasant, and because I built it I understood a ton about how it worked so was able to figure out issues a lot easier.

My advice would be to take careful notes about your setup steps though, even if you're following a guide. For some reason in the k8s world I have a hard time finding blog posts/guides/etc that I used months later, and Chrome seems to eat my bookmarks :-(. I suspect SEO is a ruthless beast when it comes to K8s.
I was into console emulators in the late 1990's and believed even at that time that it was possible to know everything there was to know about the NES. So given that we're a couple decades plus later and random hackers at home are still digging up interesting information, I feel like the tail on this kind of thing is quite long.

(And I'm still continually surprised that 80's-90's retro gaming/computing as a whole is such a popular hobby! If my teenage self had a crystal ball, he would have been very pleased to learn this.)
Videos can be faked too, it is just cheaper now.
That is not a fair comparison. An entire browser engine has way more surface area for attack than a JPEG decoder.
The problem with recognizing things that cost money as a human right is that we have to grant that poor countries don't have the luxury of providing them. Then, the same dictators can argue that due to their country's instability, they don't have the "luxury" of providing torture-free policing or freedom of speech.

I am sure evil dictators would love for the discourse about human rights to be redirected towards public works - and I don't say that without reason, because they tend to be the most reliable supporters of UN resolutions that do it. I don't mean to say that public works are evil, just that evil dictators would love for us to be unable to tell them apart from human rights issues.
> In reality, the motor end should hit first, since free-falling objects usually rotate in such a way that the heaviest part is positioned at the bottom. The atmosphere could influence and modify this behaviour on other celestial bodies, but the Moon does not have it.

Interesting. How does that happen without atmosphere? I thought the atmosphere is what creates this effect in the first place.
IMO, Only browsers with dedicated security teams should receive a browser entitlement (which includes a small team for soft-fork browsers) who are committed to keeping their browser secure.

All browsers have vulnerabilities, and it's hard to measure. Although it's easy to spot browsers that aren't patching known vulnerabilities fast enough. Negligent browsers should be warned and then have their entitlements revoked.

As for hardware protections like APRR or Pointer Authentication Codes (PAC) Apple should be forced to provide access to the third party browsers. I would steer clear of mandating exactly how the browsers should keep their users secure because that can be a point of debate and can be done both at a software layer or a hardware layer. Firefox has also introduced Site Isolation, Chromium has proven that adequately staffed security teams are able to mitigate hardware level security issues like Spectre & Meltdown with novel, system-level mitigations and these mitigations reached users before OS and hardware updates were able to fully remove the vulnerabilities.
The parent post also implies that companies are lawful and abiding when infact they continuously attempt to circumvent the law just when its in their own self interest
Are PHP programmers the victims of Python, JS and other languages that are taking over and reducing PHP's employability?

As for the physical vs cognitive labor: we automate the bottlenecks. Back in the day that was physical and now it's cognitive labor.

Also, let's not forget that right now programmers are one of the best compensated professions. For the non-tech businesses, we are the expensive gatekeepers for the world of software. Need to build a non-trivial tech solution? You could easily end up paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for devs to write it and maintain it.

If that instead can be done by the end-user themselves or with less employees, I'm sure they will be super happy to save resources. Or maybe you don't care about these people?
> There's plenty of real world use cases.

Such as none? Since you have listed zero real world examples or usecases as usual.
Surely if that was the only goal, it would be easier to have a debug menu come up when you enter a certain sequence of inputs? Among other things, getting to the warp zone still requires playing 1-1 and 1-2, and you can’t warp just anywhere.

It could even only work for the P2 controller, or use inputs not normally possible like left + right simultaneously.

Because setting precise deadlines is nearly impossible without a massive investment up front, that companies aren't willing to make. Software engineering projects aren't run like a civil engineering project where you have precise blueprints done before you set construction timelines.

There's also a big difference between being a month late and a year late. It's also a lot easier to explain you're going to miss a deadline 3 months in advance than a week before.

You don't get high performing teams by forcing crunch time because the deadline is the deadline. This is also why I'm grateful not to work in video games; you can't reschedule Christmas.
People can't go into the process of figuring it out if they have no direction of what to figure out, what they are expected to accomplish, where the documentation is, how it's organized, who are they expected to report to, and a lot of other things.

Juniors aren't born knowing any of those things.
On iOS, the only browser engine allowed is Safari's. There are other browsers, but they have to use the same engine.

I'm pretty sure that approximately zero normal users are bothered by this, but a lot of webdevs really, really want to be able to use things like web push messaging on iOS.

> Temperatures didn't hit so high and for so long back then.

In some places they did, but then the entire thing was / is designed around it: qanats, wind-catchers, very narrow streets to provide shade and funnel winds.

This has been bothering me for a while. Is AC, which is a huge waste of energy (from fossil fuels, because what else), the only option for cooling buildings? Clearly, not - since humans somehow dealt with it for thousands of years in particularly harsh climates. But the apparent unhealthy fascination with AC that some countries have almost doesn't acknowledge that there are other, more efficient ways to cool a venue.
> proprietary WebKit

That is not true. WebKit is opensource, there are other browsers that use it (GNOME Web), it is used in a lot of other applications, like GNOME Builder, Devhelp.
After looking at it for a moment, it's equally delusional as /r/cryptocurrency.

> The purpose of a uterus is to support the baby.

So because women have a uterus and the purpose of a uterus is to support a baby, once a baby is in the uterus a woman is required to carry it to live birth? I'm sorry if I'm not reading this charitably, but I find this argument to be abhorrent.

> Another thing to keep in mind is donating a kidney is permanent. You don't get your kidney back.

Unless there are complications? My great state of Texas, which will ban abortion, was found to have a severe maternal morbidity rate of 1.97%[0] while this study I found taken Iran gives a 1.5% rate for severe complications for live donors in a kidney transplantation[1].

> The basic needs that one is obligated to provide are food, water, and shelter.

Once a baby is born, you are not obligated to provide food, water, and shelter. You have the option to give the baby (or child) up for adoption. When you remove a woman's option for abortion, you put an obligation on her that is greater than her obligation at any point after the child is born and is greater than the obligation a father has to the child at any point in their lifetime.

I guess this is fine though, because those uteruses are for babys after all...
