Containers is the big thing imho. Having two bookmarks that go to different Gmail accounts, with each opening in a different container tab, and each container being logged into just that account. Same for AWS accounts.
There's a time for everything. Cinema was so '60s , the glamour, the star system, music was so '80s-90s, we ll save the world with music. That's old history now, the human reward systems have adapted. Nowadays it's probably shifting to a combination of porn/sex addiction sprinkled with hallucinogenics, as predicted by Aldous Huxley
Wikipedia is something of a propaganda circus. Anything related to prominent politicians or other public figures, or governmental activities, is heavily edited by anonymous persons, most like part of their 'media image management consultant teams' or whatever they're calling PR monkeys these days.

Generally the more obscure the topic, the more reliable the information, so there's that.
I can interpret this comment in different ways. What are you trying to communicate?
You say that people know what they can do with FP. Then you say that it is “pretty” and it is “neat” to see the machinery in action. I.e. it’s just superficial stuff.

Seems your precise disagreement with the author is: the author thinks that FP is useful and you don’t. Because people who argue for FP don’t do it because it’s a neat and pretty exercise.
This is overwrought. It’s demographics weighting the population statistics.

Movies star old people? Old billboard hits are more popular than new ones? DUH. That is boomer culture. Boomers have the numbers - dollars and bodies. They watch movies with their heros from yesteryear. They keep listening to the bands they discovered when they were young. So would anybody!

To the extent that this turns into a population level phenomenon, it’s just market share. Yeah, the gereotocracy is a problem. Yes, the overall picture DOES look stagnant. But it’s not like there’s zero fresh ideas. Young people are doing it in new places which aren’t counted in the old metrics.

Also, older folks can be creative too. Age is a state of mind, stagnation is a habit. I know plenty of folks who are hitting retirement age but are still interested in new media, new technology, new ideas.

So I think the culture is ok. There’s just a lot of money in nostalgia for an abnormally big generation. As the boomers go, so goes the nation. The real question is: what happens when they’re gone? 10 years out they’ll be tired. 20 years out they’ll be over it. 30 years out, they’ll be gone.

Then we‘ll have a group of long-suppressed folks taking charge. Their ages will be more uniformly distributed. What impact will that have? Will they best people rise regardless of age? Will it be harder to achieve a social consensus? Will new ideas flourish? Will assumed competencies be lost?

I don’t know.

This would defeat the purpose of leaving the smartphone at home, which is to not live in fear of an unlikely emergency.
My biggest complaint with Firefox is the upgrade nag. I get it, I need to upgrade, why can't they just put a reminder in the corner instead of insisting I click a dismiss button every hour.
But I believe we are still in universal agreement that Dusco sucks. Always has, always will
Except the cost, unless that's now free
Possible explanations:

1) our average age is older, so of course we have older actors, music, etc. People's tastes are more malleable in adolescence (usually), and adolescents are a smaller percentage of the population

2) the amount of recorded back catalog to listen to is larger

3) the percentage of music listening which is pre-20th century (mostly classical) is actually falling compared to 50 years ago, so it's not clear that we listen to less old music, we may just be listening to newer old music than Bach, Haydn, Mozart, etc.
I think MOND(modified newtonian dynamics) describes oir universe better than an hypothetical dark matter/energy, since it only requires modifications of formulas and not an complete new type of energy

I'm reading Gioia's history of jazz right now, haven't gotten past the swing era. But one impression I've already made is that there was a period of time when someone could aspire to a modest but decent enough middle class life as a musician. I think that I grew up at roughly the tail end of that era.

As for trends in the movies, I'm not sure they're related.

JavaScript has Int64?
Cob is a perfectly viable construction method. Why should it signify a lack of sophistication or culture. Did England lack culture and sophistication because we did ( and still do) build houses from mud and straw?
> This kind of ceremonial setting and the work and care around it, is missing in the days of immediate availability...

I'm riffing off of this, and saying it's about the same as trying to find a new opinion by reading Facebook.

If the main way you're trying to find new music is algorithmically, you're only going to find fairly similar kinds of music. This differs hugely from the music festival, or even being able to go into a music shop and ask a human for something interesting and new.

That's without talking about how garage bands and live music have mostly died a sad death.

As well, I'd say listening to complex music, or even a different genre of music, takes focus and patience. In gaining the algorithm-driven, attention-seeking internet, we've lost a lot of that focus and patience.
(changing the subject, but 90% inheritance tax! Seriously, think about it a bit.)
I don't know how the world would change if capitalism was very rapidly removed everywhere, but certainly the human condition today (7 billion people, highly mechanized distribution of heating/cooling/water/food, with long elaborate supply chains) is much more susceptible to rapid economic changes than in ages past. We're likely to see a lot of starvation >1% due to supply disruptions caused by war over the next 12 months in any case.

Maybe centrally planned economies could be made to work?

Maybe currency and investment could be directly controlled?

What fraction of the population would be allowed to starve and die?
Music industry is still recovering from lil peep’s untimely expiration. Things will bounce back. In the meantime, show some respect, please.
This thing is unreadable because of the crazy interactive animation and whatever getting all messed up, at least under my browser and adblock settings. Couldn't they put it on a plain readable page? There is a link saying something about a pdf, but that gets a 500 error.

Procrastination is a serious issue for some people, and its causes can be quite complicated.
Pessoa is one of my favorite poets. I would not describe most of his works as truly remarkable, but his best works are up there with the angels and the astronauts.

My favorite poem of all time:

Autopsychography

The poet is a faker,
Who’s so good at his act,
He even fakes the pain,
Of pain he feels in fact,

And those who read his writing,
Will read in what he wrote,
Neither of the pains he has,
But just the one they’re missing,

And so around it’s track,
This thing called the heart winds,
A little clockwork train,
To entertain our minds.
Daily Dot is not a place I would cite for a "fact check"

Also pretty common, a meme for the most part now, for media outlets to proclaim all negative criticism is "alt-right trolls", these accusations are often given with out any real evidence backing the claim
You don't actually need Decentraleyes or Privacy Badger now that Firefox has total cookie protection and that uBlock Origin supports their other features (some via lists). Arkenfox has a useful write-up on this: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions.

I only have four extensions now: uBlock Origin, I Don't Care About Cookies, one for user agent switching, and one for removing HTML elements via the context menu.
it took me 3 years to figure out(as one of my kids kept finding ways to bypass it, who was a game addict, that forced me to improve the design), it's a combination of different approaches to make the whole thing work at low cost, my kids said it is much more 'clean' comparing to their school wifi network, where they can bypass easily with some free VPN software and proxy server, and kids exchange their findings, so campus-network to them is pretty much fully open.
The NYT ram an article a while back on Spotify listening by age; they found that people tend to latch on to what was popular when they were in their early teens.[1]

So yes, on the music side this is probably dominated by demographics. Old people listen to old music.

I keep phones longer than most to test apps on old hardware. Am looking at an iPhone 6S, and original iPhone SE, and an iPhone 12 right now. All three are plugged in via lightning at least three times a week to a dev box. I know several other developers with similar experience at frequent connections via lightning connector and not a single case of failure on the phone side of the connection. The only time I have had an issue is when pocket lint got into the connection port and after a period of being compressed by the lightning connector the tiny puck of fluff eventually made a good connection difficult. A paperclip was sufficient to clear the problem.

Would love to hear proof of the occurrence of this particular problem though. Until I do I will file it with UFOs and Bigfoot in the category of 'imaginary problems.'
I'm a big fan of Tidal's recommendations. It somehow thought that I'd like Rush a few days ago (not wrong) and started playing popular 70's music. My initial reaction was "I didn't even know that it could do that!"

Usually, it's people that are one step past YouTube track, and actually have an album out.
EXIF data is not encrypted, but often times is not documented (or documented well). DJI has many differences between models (even between firmware versions). They also sell DJI Terra, which is their own photogrammetry solution.

The point being that you are correct, these are not limitations of ODM, but in some cases it does give vendors a head start (a leg up) in implementing good support for certain cameras, especially multispectral cameras like the Sequoia.
Do you mean that anyone who had an abortion while it was legal could now be prosecuted for "murder"? That seems insane.
O365 tenants too! Finally possible to log into multiple at the same time.

Though MS Teams often gets stuck in a reload loop inside a container, but Teams is a total trainwreck anyway.
Except perhaps that Forth doesn't "obsess" over theory, it is rooted in pragmatism: making a Forth interpreter is easy.
Sorry, no it doesn't. I meant there should be an Int64 type and it probably should have been implemented before they dived into arbitrary precision integers.

I suppose the answer if you really care about performance is "just use WebAssembly" since that does have native 64 bit integers.
Hmm for me this is a lot slower than the M1 app, and it also used way more RAM.
Not sure what kind of vaccines you’ve been taking, but realistically that trade off is not currently on the table, is it?
Maybe they thought it would be difficult enough to replicate their streaming tech, that it would serve them as a moat? And by the time they realized that it wouldn’t, nobody else was interested because they already did it?
I’m a younger guy, but the sentiment of the article does ring true to me. There is an overwhelming amount of regurgitation, at least within the realm of popular culture.
Before covid each child had a certain amount of time they could go online each day, enforced by the router. During lockdown I took the limit away and we were all basically glued to it.

Now the router turns the Internet off at a certain time each night for the whole house, forcing me to go to bed.

Same here, I recently installed Firefox on a new Android device and am very much enjoying the privacy features, particularly the adblocking capability via add-ons.

The only three things I miss from Chrome are:

- swiping down to refresh page

- a Delete action on the menu of text box selections

- the option to run webpages as separate apps

For that last one, I do use Chrome for a couple of sites (Wordle and Quordle), but Firefox is excellent for everything else.
It’s sad that being against hate speech is considered modern, western and progressive. It seemed like the norm not too long ago.

It depends on your definition of dynasty, but they absolutely did.

Similar to the UK, most of these dynasties were based on real estate and failed to safeguard their wealth during the transition to the postindustrial era (post-civil war), unless they transitioned into finance/insurance.

Because of this, we don’t know their names today as well as we know the (post-)industrial names (your example of Astor is an exception because his story & wealth were singular, but even Astor isn’t well-known outside of NY).

John Jay, the various Roberts Livingston, the van Rensselaers,the Van Cortlandts, the Schuylers, Morris, etc.

These were people who had functionally feudal titles in post-revolutionary America, and many descendants retained them until the mid 19th Century.

They weren’t Windsors, Hohenzollerns or the uppermost crust of European houses. They were generally the descendants of Scottish, Dutch, or French elites who came to the new world once they caught wind of the killer opportunity provided by untouched and underutilized natural resources, in combination with a highly malleable set of local legal institutions. Many of them also had the motivation of fleeing asset seizures at home.
I think this is a problem with wikis in general. The idea is great, but the execution is 50/50.

"I was traumatized from computing because my dad never let me see a GUI outside of X11."

I hope they'll be bored enough to wander over to books--"old" programming and math books--and just start working through those. Who knows.

There were at least three groups of folks with unlimited access to computers and Internet in school: smart gamers, smarter tinkerers, and me. What I'd like to encourage, if I could control some portion of it, is to funnel activity to the second of the three. And that based on constraints, because I don't know any better than utter abstinence.

Any complaints about Minecraft will get them pointed to the book on Foley, gcc, and the promise of my time to help...

In the end, they'll figure out everything anyway. But at least in the beginning, I tried to have them focus on first principles.

Did I mention the Great Books? I have to put those somewhere.
Well maybe try moving out of such a densely packed disease trap? Out here in the exurbs I don’t know a single person for whom covid has been any more inconvenient than a cold (since vaccines became widely available).

I’m no anti-vaxxer. I had it, got vaxxed anyway just in case, wore my masks, etc. Like most people, I’m done now. If you want to go live in a bubble be my guest.
For me, taking notes is writing, thinking, intellectual stimulation, not passive copying and interrupting the reading. It is engaging with the work, savoring the insights one can gather. If it is not enjoyable, if you feel it is pointless and tedious, then of course don't do it.
That’s an interesting point. How would you characterize growing up in the shadow of the Global War on Terror vs growing up in the shadow of the Cold War?
Q2 SaaS multiples have collapsed
Perhaps someone can build a container system around chrome (or in fact any application). Ideally, an OS should be able to do something like this.

> most of the Internet stuff are entertainment only. So stuff like Pop Music, Anime, Viral Videos etc. While not productive, they are harmless

You are so obviously not the parent of a teen girl. The viral videos have created a crisis of self harm the world has not yet come to terms with.
This is the way. Exception handling is often one of the worst aspect of a production codebase, especially since it is typically added late. Though error handling strategies benefit from careful design, they are usually added piecemeal. Making errors louder and more problematic is the best way to get them the attention they deserve.

This is not a new concept and it seems to be one of the core components of the Erlang Weltanschauung. It can be generalized further to systems as the principle of "Crash-Only Software," as advanced in this classic paper: https://dslab.epfl.ch/pubs/crashonly.pdf
How is it different from simplelogin or anonaddy?
Substack is monetizing newsletters which are somewhat different than the traditional blog. Blogs are more informal with no commitment to publishing frequency. Blogs have no barrier to entry and are monetized via an advertising model.

Monetizing a blog with a paywall is dumb, because it increases the friction of people reading your content. Usually you blog to build a profile, which you can't do if you erect barriers to your audience.

Monetizing newsletters makes more sense because you already know who and what you are paying for. Substack poached high profile journalists and bloggers to write newsletters for their platform. They paid upfront. That said, I don't know if Substack is making enough revenue to survive long term. They only made $9M on a $650M valuation last year. There seems to be increasing burnout with news engagement these days due to years of outrage and disappointment.
Is it a win?

Last I heard FF was generating a unique identifier on each installer download.

This story is on the front page of Reddit. I wonder if it will make a dent in Chrome's market share.
I tried to like Firefox, I really do, I tried to use it as primary browser, but it's just noticeable less snappy and slower than anything Chromium based, so I always return back to Chromium (now Brave).

Not to mention that I always hit some glitches in sites or some things not working in Firefox because developers didn't even bother to test on Firefox or just plainly refuse to support it.
I understand the point the author is trying to make but some of it unnecessarily mean-spirited and ageist. I haven't seen it yet, but by all reports, the new Top Gun movie was very well received. And no one has even seen the new Indiana Jones film yet, so is the AARP dig really necessary?

There are better ways to make your point about recycled content and franchises than saying "lol, these actors are old".
> you will be permanently banned shortly for not being spyable enough and failing modified ROM detection

Wait, do they actually do this too, or is this a hypothetical you made up for the example? Or did you mean Snapchat instead of TikTok, which I know does actually do that?
Someone who opposes the current regime is automatically a supporter of Shah? This is a genuine question as I am not aware about Iran's politics.
Yes, it involved more effort, and did not have competition like all things the the internet offers.
also check out "sidebery" as a modern alternative that does a bit more
Be also aware that many contracting companies that supply staff pay big backhanders to hiring managers, 10%+ of salary, a few hires quickly grows to big money. Maybe this could be the reason.
Seriously bad policies making making their foreign supply chains unaffordable
Ok, great idea. Now we just need an extension that auto-bookmarks every newly opened page until I unbookmark it, and a category of "super-bookmarks" to curate the pages I would manually bookmark now.
It would be nice to repeat the maps using weight. The weight of a cow is like 700Kg (1500 pounds) and the weight of a chicken is like 3Kg (6 pounds). So a cow is like 250 chickens. (Can someone with CGI abilities make a gros image of a cow made of 250 chickens?)
Is there some covid treatment regime I am unaware of that requires us to sacrifice the lives of children to save the elderly?

I’m pretty sure we’re talking about public health measures that - if successful- will reduce covid risks for everyone.

And if we have to save the lives of a bunch of 90 year olds in order to also save the lives of some kids, we’ll that is a risk I am willing to take.
For sure. Gimme some good ol' "Pop Punk isn't Actually Punk" articles. Now THAT was some great music culture criticism. Kids these days....
> I usually keep fewer than 10 tabs open

Same here, and I don’t even use bookmarks! History and custom search shortcuts are enough.
Will say as well that Brave is much, much better out of the box for privacy than Firefox. Even with uBlock Origin and other privacy-friendly extensions, Firefox doesn't offer much in the way of anti-fingerprinting.

Sure there have been totally new genres within the last few years: Russian hardbass, phonk, hyperpop, etc. Art is constantly evolving, even though not necessarily evolving in the mainstream.
That's easy: it's homeowners, who capture zoning boards, planning commissions, and city councils to oppose density.

Are you writing this on internet - a tech that most if not all government use to spy on their citizens? Did you buy your computer online paying by a card or cash? Is your hardware, software all opensource and audited? Did you compile it all yourself?

> The safety device protect your hearing while shooting goes over your ears, or inside them. Not inbfront your mizzle.

This argument is like saying that since air bags are a safety device, seat belts must not be.
I feel like I'm in the minority here, but Edge has been consistently better than every other browser I've tried.

I have about 30 tabs open across 3 windows on my 10 yo. laptop, that I upgraded to 8GB of RAM.
If I try to open even 10 tabs in Firefox, the laptop slows down to hell.

Running a local speed test to my Linux server on MS Edge, I get ~910Mb/s download (CPU maxes out) and ~980Mb/s upload.

If I fire up Firefox and run this same test, I get ~260Mb/s download/upload, with the CPU maxed out of course.
Has anyone in the world ever been sent to prison for getting an abortion based on Google location data? Or is this all still hypothetical? (Seriously curious)
Yep. People need to seriously consider exiting smartphones and social media as I wrote here: https://backtohumanity.substack.com/p/exiting-the-metaverse
Short clips as TikTok
WebKit gets small details right such as option left right arrow selects a word but not a comma after it. In Firefox if a comma is next to a word without a space, it also gets selected. Stuff like that makes Firefox less polished in my opinion.
