Reader view is great, but it seems to work on less and less sites every day. I don't know what the mechanism is by which the browser decides whether to allow reader view rendering, but it seems to not work on about half the sites I wish I could use it on these days.
No. Tab groups are great, they allow you to bundle context but persist it front and center. On a given day I might be working on five different things, I context switch between tab groups, make some progress within a group, and move along. Bookmarks absolutely do not solve this issue. Bookmarks are not ephemeral, and take considerably more time to organize than simply using tabs naturally.
Wait, Epiphany on elementaryOS is 100% WebKit? Had no idea tbh.
DOS was better for me until well into the Pentium era - Windows could run on a 386 or 486 but it was painful.
Sometimes I use the internet to shitpost.
Every medium of expression has a finite band of creative potentialities which are pioneered and explored, then exhausted. Expecting new artists to achieve what the Rolling Stones achieved with their music is as asinine as expecting me to achieve as much as Lewis and Clark when I go on a hike.

There are new media of creative expression to explore, if you know where to look. Not that originality for it's own sake is intrinsically good.
> ... corporate american enabling this will not be seen positively.

I don't think this is true in red states or for the minority views that determine what is and is not illegal in this country, or at least it won't play out like you wish. Certainly I don't see this playing out along this optimistic path. Politicians in Texas and Mississippi will frame it as companies helping dutiful law enforcement investigate evil crimes and ergo it's fine that Google was tracking everybody all along. Single-issue voters would be happy to see abortion providers or seekers behind bars and couldn't care less if the fourth amendment was violated along the way.

Just look at how conservatives (ok, well, a good chunk of all mainstream politicians) and voters viewed the FBI vs. Apple conflict from a few years ago - it was "we have to make sure the cops can get the bad guys so of course the cops should have access to whatever information they need" not "I have a right to privacy - time to stop using these services until they respect it"

What exactly is wrong with that?

As long as the team works good, doesn’t do any harm, doesn’t break any laws, doesn’t hurt other teams performance etc.

I am really trying to understand.

Instead of downvoting, please explain to me what is wrong with people tending to work with other people whose language and mentality they understand better (with best intentions in mind)?
>Why is there a belief that the provider of content should also be the source of quality recommendations?

I suppose because they should be able to do this well. They know what I have watched, what I bailed out early on, terms I search for and which results I looked at, and so on. And no shortage of tech talent to do the right thing with all of that.
Out of curiosity, do you have an issue with crypto as a whole or is there something about Brave’s BAT in particular that you dislike?
Ironically, the mathematician moving from a rented flat to a house would result in more irrelevant work. Home ownership consumes so much free time on petty tasks that become huge problems if you dont
Its the sort of low-effort comment you should come to expect in the first few hours of articles about Apple. Eventually it will get buried, but it is a sort of toll we all must pay it seems.

An idiot who has no idea what they are talking about or even the nature of the discussion thinks they can score some cheap karma with a line that feels more like it should be about an iPhone than system software on macOS. I am guessing the author just has no clue what Rosetta is and their reading comprehension does not extend to the end of the title so they missed the little bit about macOS.
What about ISPs? Other trackers? The problem is Government's abuse of power.
The chart is measuring an effect way down in the noise. 0.3% is the top of the chart!
The problem with allocating the state's electoral college votes proportionally is that there's no advantage in doing so on a state-by-state level. For each individual state, the result is having a much smaller influence on the election overall. There's a first-mover problem, where it would result in a better end state, but any state that makes this allocation is shooting themselves in the foot.

Instead, there's a better solution in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact[0]. All states in the compact give the entirety of their votes to the candidate who wins the popular vote on the national level, but only once the NPVIC has sufficient electoral votes to be the deciding factor. This way, the electoral college still exists, doesn't require a constitutional amendment to change, but effectively becomes a rubber stamp. Because it only takes effect once the NPVIC controls the majority of electoral college votes, it avoids the first-mover effect.

All I know is that analog Vinyl goes down smoother than digital CDs.

Anyone that claims they can't tell the difference is full of it.
Nobody would call modern art music "classical music."

When I was high school/college age, I certainly paid attention to the composers who were writing for film, or synthesizers, etc. I just don't think enough kids today are positioned to be able to appreciate it.

The artists performing this aren't all old men, for the most part they're a diverse group of young people.
I think you’ve taken this to an extreme that I didn’t.

I’m explaining why women traveling alone might not want strange men to know their name and destination.

But if you want to debate the merits: It’s unclear to me that this particular technology constitutes progress in a meaningful way. Show me my flight info on my smart glasses, or play me a recording of my gate info over my earbuds. I’m not interested in some janky billboard I have to stand in front of to get a tiny bit of information that is in no way hard to find.

I certainly don’t believe the benefits of this tech justify any level of privacy loss. Again, if targeting is sufficiently good, maybe this is a non issue.

Generally I lean toward the view that the right amount of privacy to trade for technology is “none.” But I’m willing to make exceptions for particularly useful innovation.

I realise HN has a disproportionate amount of software engineers, but I know my parents would struggle to afford the likes of skiing, flying, go-karting as regular activities, never mind in sufficient quantities to displace video games and the internet. Even a trip to the bowling alley was a rare treat when I was growing up.
> Even arts and entertainment businesses require constant infusions of fresh talent

Who cares about art and entertainment _businesses_? We care about artists and to some extent entertainers.

> It seems impossible —after all, billions of dollars are spent every year by entertainment corporations in their quest for market dominance. Yet, despite this constant spending spree, almost every week brings a new sign of cultural stagnation.

The author seems to conflate money expenditure with cultural activity, in line with the conflation of business and art.
I'm back to FF as well (after some Chrome years), and love it. However, for my work I use Google Meet and online collaboration tools such as Miro. Unfortunately, I only use Chrome for those services because FF will jumpstart my Macbook fans quickly when using Google Meet / FF.

> How do you approach this problem and how do you even talk about it?

This is one of the few times I'd recommend talking to a senior HR person. Ask them if that behavior is a problem, and then if it is, tell them about the specifics. If it is not a problem, you might want to go work somewhere that values diversity.
Inflation Has Outpaced Wage Growth. Now It’s Cutting into Spending
What I mean in ML syntax, every function is a curried function of only one argument. So you don't know how many arguments a function has without looking up its type. In concatenative languages, this is similar, every function (with exception of special forms) is a function from stack to stack, and to see how many arguments it has you also have to look at its type.

I think concatenative syntax is in fact more elegant than ML syntax, since it also "curries" return values, and is evaluated in the same order as written.
True but they are looking in all the wrong places. Including pocket "featured headlines", vpn services that are just a resell, just lowhanging fruit that does nothing but annoy the users that still care about them.

Meanwhile they try to make the browser as mainstream friendly, not understanding that the mainstream has long given up on them and they only have the last remaining bastion of hardcore privacy users left. Whose user patterns they're not seeing because they focus too much on telemetry.

I think since they became Mozilla Inc they started thinking like big tech and are slowly becoming just like it. But because their foundation origins the declining marketshare is not ringing their alarm bells like they, in a real company, would.

If they really wanted to diversify and get me to pay for something, they have to do more than just resell mullvad. I'm a mullvad user but I much rather pay for that directly as it gives me a lot more features. I love mullvad but I want to use it in more than just a browser.

What I'd want to see and would pay for:

- A service like Apple's iCloud Private Relay that really makes browsing more anonymous (rather than a basic VPN which they offer now, that's too little too late).

- Paid Sync storage (with full E2E so I have no reason to self-host)

- An archiving service of webpages (also E2E). Because onenote sucks more and more

Basically things other than 'quick wins' but that need some serious vision and development. Right now they're thinking way too much like a lazy CEO, doing a quick tie-in with another service hoping for some takeup or some cheap marketing benefit.

If they want to diversify and get people to pay they really have to offer some real benefits that are a gap in the market. Those exist but they need some more work than just a quick joint marketing effort.
Having kids was the best decision of my life. They are wonderful beyond compare and will lead the world. My wife, the kids, and I are all thriving. But we are just starting to exit the shitshow of teenage years and let me tell you, the internet has made childhood insane. Like Meow Wolf with live ammunition, stripers, and cocaine.
The idea that a woman can traffick herself if she is interested in doing sex work is nonsense. Sex work and sex exploitation are not the same thing. (Though I do not deny there exists exploitation in much of sex work.)
Good catch. I should have taken a minute to google it before saying it was less than a 100 years old. I remembered 1930 as the cut-off year for air-conditioning, for some reason.
This is correct - the DOS games of ‘94-95 would often do better in DOS and for the games that came in both types you’d often be better in DOS - but by the time 97 and 98 rolled around most computers running windows were quite capable of running windows games.
The author has some great points here and it’s interesting to see parallels drawn between both music and movie/film/streaming genres.
I was a radio dj in college and the only real rule (aside from legal stuff etc) was we could play an artist only once per quarter - the result for me was just playing the newest music that was coming into the studio.
It’s quite appropriate imo to identify music streaming as kind of a common denominator for music age - people just play what they’re familiar with. I love music and a big big part of this is the discovery process; the radio is great for discovery but it’s ephemeral - and a streaming or listening service such as spotify is a great way to expand on those leads.
No firm opinions here, it just seems like more people listening more to older music makes sense and is kind of a weighted average. The “moving picture” medium is a different thing, maybe..
>spending time at a PC can lead to a career in software engineering

>spending time on YouTube can lead to being an e-celebrity

Two differences are that of those is a casino, and it's probably not the healthiest or most sustainable path for most people.

>When you're looking at kids glued to the phone, you're looking at how the generation above me/us looked at me,and not you. And I think I'm in the majority of people that was glued in front of the PC; Nothing "productive" really came out of it

The argument here is that the PC offers an onramp for some percentage of people to something really good, while the phone intrinsically doesn't. Or, if it does, it's an onramp to being an influencer. Nuff said. :p

you could have said the same in the 40s , 50s , 60s etc. A lot of new music was made in reaction to what was considered very formulaic old music.
Thanks, I came to ask what the catch might be. After a while, these "revolutionary breakthroughs" in solar tech, battery tech, ... get a little exhausting and the default assumption is some company trying to rake in VC, drive up stock price or whatever. Just not a product we'll ever see.
Concurrency with Python: Separating Identity from State
Does team performance always suffer though? I've seen teams with relatively homogenous backgrounds that are very effective because of that. I've seen teams with diverse background that suffer due to some disconnect. Diversity is promoted for societal good, not necessarily as a local performance optimization.
Only if they are Canadian scripts.
>no stylesheets

Well, there is a fair amount of css wrapped in <style> tags. Not sure I understand the upside of not putting it in a separate file.

Though the look is reasonably pleasant.

Edit: The example blog also loads js, despite the "no javascript" claim. Like: <script src="https://cdn.usefathom.com/script.js" data-site="WKWMFTPV" defer></script>. Perhaps that's not a default thing, but it seems odd to link to an example blog that doesn't match the sales pitch.

The benefit of MRU order is that you can use it blindly to go to the last-nth tab without having to eye-coordinate with the contents of the tab bar. It becomes an automatic muscle-memory thing.
The shadow of the global war on terror has been more intimate. Surveillance, airport security etc. During the cold war the fear was that we would all be blown up by the same thermonuclear bombs in a nuclear holocaust. What you could do with a passenger airplane was not the main problem.
The 2 reasons why I don't use Chrome is

1/ You can't mute tabs by default

2/ You can't prevent videos to auto-start.

Simple as that, I think muting tabs was possible in the past, but of course, Chrome team removed that function because youtube.
Sounds like a very odd, incel thing to say.
I went the other way after a few years on Firefox mostly for one reason. Too often when posting something here, on Reddit, in a web-based email client, on Facebook, etc., I'd end up having to spend too much time dealing with false positives in its spell check.

It's weird because they use the same spell check engine that Chrome, Apple, LibreOffice, and a bazillion other commercial and open source things use, and those almost never produce false positives on my writing.

Mozilla needs to address things like this if they want to stop losing share to other browsers.
The Blue Square Challenge
I was originally going to post this as a Stack Overflow question, but I thought reaching out to the dev community with a challenge would be more fun.

The general idea is: if you remove all user agent styles from a webpage, SVGs will stop rendering. Which CSS properties do you need to re-add so they render?

This has led me down an interesting rabbit hole, and I thought this was curious enough to open it up for discussion on HN.
Usage analytics are pretty important for any product to stay competitive, and IMO it’s very different from any sort of personalized ad tracking.
What if all the users, combined, could take Twitter off the market?

Imagine Twitter, but it only asks some money from subscriptions, let's say $1/year/user[1]. Now we take away all adverts. And voilà, a wonderful platform.

I don't think the author claimed that. I think they claimed the reverse, this area for prostitution was a public space for women.

At least, that's how I understood it.
She might like 89.3 KBCZ. They're based near silicon valley, and play good pop music from the 70's. However, it only comes in on route 9. They have an internet stream.
VSCode is much more than just a debugger, it is a whole environment. It doesn't really feel suitable if you are using a regular Linux development environment.
True! I misconstrued your Point, Apologies!

The statistics you're citing aren't as strong as your claim ("not typical"). 8% of Americans have no insurance at all, ever, the entire year. But it's common for the working class and even much of the middle class to have a significant period lacking insurance during the course of their lives.
That would not be as click-able of an article.
No stylesheets is untrue. There is a <style> tag in the head that contains a stylesheet.
What exactly do you expect? That Apple brings back Safari to Windows and Linux? There's public demand for that every now and then (eg [1]), but that has it's own set of problems ie. that Safari-on-Win/Lin won't be representative of what's rendered on Mac OS due to font handling, antialiasing, power management, and other peculiarities on Mac OS (Mac OS would typically run on much higher resolution than Win/Lin).

I'm not even using Mac OS currently, but I don't think it's Apple's job to make your web app run like on Chrome when Google is calling the shots on so-called "web standards" with tens or hundreds of new features every quarter, with necessarily surprising results. Personally, I'd find it ok if you just label your app with "Best run on Chrome" because that's the reality the web has degraded to, and the actual problem of web apps. Or deploy as Electron app on Mac OS.

Maybe Apple could provide a Mac OS + Safari VM, like MS was doing (or still is doing?) when they were producing IE. But then the question is on which machine would you be able to run those VMs given Apple is heading towards ARM-only instruction set machines. Should Apple commit to produce x64 binaries for backward-compatible emulation on historic hardware? Personally, I do like Apple's innovation where the rest of the industry is lagging behind.

Irrelevant. The confidence interval is for the uncertainty of a parameter, the overall mean/trend: if most of your points fell inside it, that would not be good but extremely bad (you have that much imprecision that your estimate of the overall mean could be anywhere inside the range of observations?). Ideally, your CI would be so narrow that ~0 data points fell within it. (An example: you take a population census of adult heights and find the mean height is 5'7 ± 0.001 inches, say. Very few people will fall within that CI. But that's because it's such a good precise CI due to so much data, not because it's a bad CI.)

You seem to be thinking of a predictive interval (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prediction_interval), which, however, is not what is being plotted here.
It looks really cool, but I don't see a way to easily self-host despite:

In ML syntax, you don't know how many arguments a function will take, because of currying, and it's a (useful) feature, not a bug.

Similarly, in concatenative languages, there is ambiguity how many parameters will a function take/leave on the stack.
Tyrannical states tend to remove weapons and armor from the population early in their campaign. Some countries realized this in their founding and made sure that would be rather difficult to enforce.
One person in my CS degree (which started in 2008) had his first time using a computer a few weeks before said degree which was interesting. He managed it fine.
