I hear ya on the rendering. This systems sketch was by me, for me, but I published it with minimal effort just in case it might help someone else. It probably would've been better just to publish a link to the model than to embed it, though.

As for the content, it's ad hoc, albeit not entirely without evidence. It's based on a bit of self-study (e.g., autoethnographic observations of my own thoughts and behaviours and passive reading of the psych literature on procrastination).

The centrality measures shouldn't actually be there... Long, boring story short: they're an artifact of some systemic leverage analysis [1] I was doing on a more involved model[2].

Last, I'd love to see those cognitive models. From what I've found, we understand a great many of the pieces of procrastination, but it still takes work to put them together for any one person's situation.

What you describe is well documented in psychology. A lot people who are attracted by power, hierarchy and domination are sexually frustrated and more often man than women.

A quick search online yields many reliable publications on the topic.

The fact that your comment is being downvoted worries me.
> Buy Dropbox and Substack as well and now you’re a full Apple One competitor.

Good one. To be 'full' Apple One competitor, you'd need default app installs as well as built-in advertisements/notifications channel across macs/iDevices.

Oh also, Valve is privately owned money printing machine. I doubt gaben would be interested in selling it.
...maybe not?

Let's turn this into reddit thread.
I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Chen-Hanson Ting at a Maker Faire (also RIP): https://makerfaire.com/maker/entry/70167/
Comparing food efficiencies by energy content, i.e. by calories, between vegetables and animals, is completely futile and irrelevant.

For any humans it is very easy to cover most of their energy needs with vegetable food and the majority of them, for whom the expenses for food form a non-negligible part of their budget, have very strong incentives to do this, because calories from vegetables are many times cheaper than calories from animals.

Animals are not eaten as a source of calories, but mainly as a source of proteins.

When discussing the efficiency of using animals for food, they must be compared with the vegetables used for their food based on their protein content, not on their calories content.

When vegetable protein extracts are compared with meat, all the energy and chemicals consumed for protein separation and any other additional costs must be taken into account.
Not a technical one, no. But who wants the server logging all of their conversations?

Most good IRC networks allow you to list loaded modules as a method of good faith transparency.
I'm surprised you didn't talk about Go's novel dep management system. They have put as much thought into that design as the stdlib

This sounds like an AD more than a recommendation

Everything listed can be achieved by using uBlock Origin

There is a reason why people abandoned Firefox, Mozilla refused to fix the performance issues, they refused to do something about the toolbar bloat, the browser became a nest for adwares/malwares, a security and privacy nightmare

and later they refused to abandon the Google deal

Google came with chrome and everyone switched, safe, efficient, reliable, and it stayed with the same UX since the beginning, a win for the users

Privacy? they don't share your data with anybody, there are no 3rd party addons or 3rd party links, unlike with Firefox for example (Pocket, Google, Duckduckgo, and various Ads in your home page)

Chrome or Chromium is the way to go if you care about:

- security

- privacy

- battery usage

Concerning their position of power, i don't buy it, Apple and WebKit have a greater impact imo and now that Microsoft is working on Chromium, it no longer is a viable argument
> TST is literally the killer feature for FF.

Which raises the question: why would FF sabotage it? Why isn't it easy to hide the default tabs, and why does the sidebar have the name of the extension providing it stuck at the top?

They had all of the warning in the world about how important this extension was to people years before finally removing XUL, half a decade later you still can only repair the display problems through CSS that isn't kept consistent from version to version, and feature requests/bug reports on the issue are filled with antagonism from the project.
This all comes from somewhere. It's not like we woke up one day and decided to distrust government. The entire movement to infiltrate government and make it ineffective so people will support dismantling and privatizing it is just the tip of the iceberg. Culture doesn't exist in a vacuum. You can trust your government--your post makes it sound like you're not in the US; if you are, you need to pay more attention--because it's not fully captured by private interests that make it work against the public.
There are so few service workers post pandemic that restaurants could probably double prices and still not have enough staff.
I ran into an interesting situation where I was building a Conway implementation and getting 60fps in Firefox / 10fps in Chrome. Turned out that Chrome had absolutely horrible performance with attempts to access out-of-bounds array indexes, where Firefox had some early fail fasts in place.

So anecdata, but I wouldn’t rely on Chrome automatically working well if Firefox does.
Java could have been made to run well in a browser, giving applets good access to the DOM of their containing page wouldn't have been too difficult.
I mean it kinda depends to an extent.

If I had to distinguish Taco bell from, say, McDonalds, I would say that Taco bell has the advantage of being filling but not putting you in a food coma.

One of it's biggest unsung heroes is the bean burrito; It avoids most questions about the meat and has been a popular option among folks who wanted to avoid meat in their diets. It's... almost healthy. Almost.

> Not so much in urban areas

Unless you have a cop on every street corner (and even then), you wouldn't have enough coverage for cop intervention to be something upon which you can rely for your own safety. At best, they might catch your assailant after you're already dead.

> I live in the UK and I don't need a gun to defend myself, because any attacker is extremely unlikely to have one either

You're ignoring the vast differences in available socioeconomic safety nets between the US and the UK. The UK's still pretty shitty on those metrics (which is why there's no shortage of violent crime), but it's certainly better than here in the US.

> I guess my question is: what are you scared of?

I'm scared of my government deciding that it's time to round up everyone of $ETHNICITY or $RELIGION or $IDEOLOGY or $SEXUALITY or what have you and send them off to internment camps. I'm scared of white supremacists deciding it's time to bring lynch mobs back into fashion. I'm scared of the ownership class using the state to coerce (with increasing severity) the working class into continuing to work despite continuing to get the increasingly short end of the stick. I'm scared of theocrats deciding that "separation of church and state" is no longer necessary and therefore empowering themselves to impose their own religion (or more precisely: a very twisted and corrupted version of it) on every other American. I'm scared of GSRMs losing the rights we had just so recently won.

> isn't it much better to just let the robbery take place (and then claim on insurance)

It would be much better to deter the robbery in the first place. It would be much better than that to give people a safety net such that they don't have to resort to robbery in the first place.
It used to, though.
> Yes, you can get extensions for this in Chrom(e/ium) but having these as a native feature is really nice.

I've been using Brave for a while and I'm considering going back to FF, partly to get out of Chromium.

However, this is a point I don't get. What do I care if these features are native or plug-ins? My Brave plugins are synced, so whenever I install Brave and set it up I immediately. If the plugin is well done, there is no difference, and for people who don't care about that particular feature it could be less bloat to have it on a feature.

Specifically for the Reader mode, the Chromium Addon I use comes from the Firefox code for the same functionality, so it's just as good. Kudos to FF, OSS is awesome.
That's much much slower though.
> You mean lockdowns, not the pandemic.

I agree with this part of your post.

> And you mean western sanctions, not Ukraine.

But not this part. Ukraine used to export a bunch of stuff that Russia has now destroyed.
> I couldn’t care less on race / sex whatever. [..] they hated hiring me because of my race [..] constantly ranted on how much they despised white males.

How long do you think your enlightened post-racial individualism will remain tenable against groups that proudly organize along ethnic lines?
I have noticed team sports tend to be vastly more toxic than solo sports.

Climbing for example has a wildly different atmosphere. Just listen to the crowd in this or read the YouTube comments, people are supportive when several women have disappointing results. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfhGW6Bwyks

People will complain about the route setting or camerawork not the athletes, that’s a shocking amount of empathy IMO.
You should read the Parable books by Octavia Butler. By the sound of it maybe you have already!

Cooking for one in the US with ingredients that aren’t laced with preservatives is incredibly expensive, especially if you live in a city. I found it to be the case even 6-7 years ago that it was cheaper to eat out every night than it was to cook.
It’s possible that MAD is wearing off as more conventional war emerges because no one believes the other side will dare use them… so it’s almost as if they are not there or a threat.

Nah, you need a server, an IP and a vhost!

From the extension description, Tab Stash seems to save all open tabs as bookmarks. But this feature is already built into Firefox. Am I missing something? I’ve never used either of these extensions (will be trying out TST) so forgive my ignorance if I’m missing something obvious!
> We aren't having massive inflation yet because [...]

9.1% isn't massive?
When I finally got over laughing at your incredibly funny response, I got to thinking seriously - the volume, density etc of fluid in the skull is well known together with the physical characteristics of the cranium, brain, etc. It would at the very least be revealing from either real or digital modeling to see what mechanical shock if any the fluid provides.
There is no question the 4 trillon (not 2) money printing has been the main driver of inflation. The question is not so much whether inflation has been created, it has, and has been in the CPI index for a year now. The question now is whether we are starting the cycle of price increase => wage increase => price increase, i.e. whether we will get inflation also next year and the year after, etc. Breaking that cycle is ugly business.
Maybe, but if they run servers in the US, and you will need servers in the US, then you would still have to comply

There are already many non-US data centers to choose from
Exactly. What is not clear to me is whether the chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) from football, boxing etc, is just from the repeated blows to the head or if actual repeated/severe concussions are required. Is there a threshold of head trauma that will not cause CTE or is it all just a matter of degree such that we get a small amount of CTE even with minor blows to the head, and it just accumulates.
People hate the UI. It was clean before the transition to webextensions, now it's messy and can only be fixed through futzing with userChrome.css (with no help from mozilla.)
> If you look at the usage numbers, it just makes no sense to support this browser anymore.

It seems the reality is that people disagree with your opinion.
These are a priori questions: theoretical and naive.

If you’re sincere about wanting an answer to your question, we in the United Stated have more or less forfeited the argument that we’re capable of discrimination without harm based on our historical treatment of minorities.

Now, I know the instinct is to launch into more a priori questioning, but for every “what about…” or “if only…” there’s a historical counterpoint that shows how we (the United States), were not able to fulfill those theoretical promises or ambitions.

I have some time today, so if you’d like me to trawl the archives, I can probably do some historical resurfacing for the benefit of this thread some counter examples to the idealized forms of harm-free discrimination, for more than just laughs.
> Do you think that I would be spamming this of it wasn’t real?

Does suggest you are spamming it.
It’s an interesting concept but the domain from the article screams ‘we’re biased by the way.’
Isn't Orwell kinda trolling here, or is he unaware of his fallacious statement? Not all kids of WW2 generation played with tin soldiers, like 50% of kids, namely: girls. This oversight is a bit of a bias in his false-dichotomy: there are only soldiers or pacificts as toys/role-models.
What are the friction points? I’m a UX designer (15 years experience). I love working with engineers on solving problems, QA’ing and releasing high quality products. Maybe your designers are more fresh and junior ??
More re-invent JVM/Flash VM but yess extremely similar concepts. This was not done ignorantly though, WASM was much easier to build inside of existing browser engines and gave a bit more freedom in design.
Vinyls are mastered differently. If that same master mix was stamped on a CD and played under the same speakers/dB/amp/conditions as a record player it'll sound the same. Some people do the whole pre-amp and EQ thing and you could do that to a CD player's output too.

But nothing beats the big jackets, and there's magic in mixing between turntables that isn't there with any other method.
Two things, that are obvious to gamers but really confused me:

> The Factorio price in Russia has long been £7.70 (₽520). However, on July 14, the price rose suddenly to £147.99 (₽10,000). This price increase came without any notice or acknowledgement from Wube Software.

Interestingly, they have recently (maybe on the same day?) also increased the price in the UK from £21.00 to £25.00, and also without any notice or acknowledgement... [1]

I find this surprising, coming from a company that takes particular pride in not running sales, and where their rationale for this is that they don't want different people to pay different prices for the same game [2, as I commented on another HN discussion here]

Not being snarky but if a rich person owns multiple flats that she is renting out, and you force her (say by jacking up wealth tax or banning buy-to-let) to sell the majority of them, how is that not helping with house price and rent inflation? My point is that you are right the rich don’t consume that much in terms of buying eggs, but they buy a hell of a lot of assets that eventually drive inflation (the more real estate they buy, the higher house prices go, the higher lumber and copper prices go,…) Am not an economist just trying to reason using common sense so might have missed something…
The real thing they're trying to tax is some part of the massive impact that AI and other automation will have on the economy and lives of people who will lose jobs. It's just going to be harder and harder to have a decent lifestyle in the US if you aren't fortunate to have great education in a important area that isn't automated.

If I had a factory that used to employ a thousand people to make widgets and it gets automated and now makes the same with only 50 people, probably the cost of production is lower, but 950 people lost their jobs. In my West Coast city we already have tons of people that can't find a job (some lost through automation?) where they can afford an apartment and so they live in their cars and later they live on the street. This is going to happen to increasing parts of the population in the US.
How open source projects survive poisonous people (and you can too) (2012)
This smells more like an integration issue to me. The chip is essentially throttling because it’s reaching a high temperature or low voltage threshold. It could just be a bad power supply or the hot ambient temperature (28c ~80f) mixed with inadequate cooling.
This is true (unless you're okay eating the same thing as leftovers for a week straight); cooking for two makes it a lot easier and opens up more options.
such a great idea.
It's a more concise version of Music XML from the same folks. XML tends to leave rendering stuff (like drawing a page or voicing a VST instrument) to a separate style layer, so I'm not surprised to see that missing from the "MXL vs Music XML" examples linked in the story.

The project's goal was to focus on Western music theory, so seeing those "assumptions" would be expected.

Transporting weapons or controlled substances over state lines has legal implications, but not in a murder/self-defense trial. The “crossed state lines” was just a fall-back to make it sound like the victim did something abhorrent or went well out of his way to get into trouble.

Increase interest rates.

A property that makes 5% of its value a year, when interest rates are paying 6%, is a bad investment.

Instead of 3-properties at $1 million (total) returning 0.05 million / year, you should sell those three properties and put $1 million into the bank and get 0.06 million/year.

procrastination and degraded metabolism didnt deliver me results in Google. Do you have any sources?
Except they aren’t doing it. What we have to show for decades of FSF activism is enough of a rejection of GPL that other licenses filled the gap, and that gap basically created cloud computing by letting the very companies RMS detests offshore their engineering to the detesters without any risk. So in one interpretation, the ideal software model but maybe not the ideal license envisioned by FSF is a major component of the transfer/takeback of computing as a concept from individual to corporation (and then bigger corporation) and the creation of pan-surveillance culture. Which is incredibly ironic given the ideals of the FLOSS community. That’s what we’re reaping, in my estimation.

Vexing yourself with the legal provenance of the BIOS in your laptop ignores all that, and this state of computing been slowly growing in that technofetish blind spot for about thirty years. And now the community with said, massive blind spot is saying “see what you reaped by not listening to us?” Come on. We did. It’s a safe bet I’ve been thinking about this longer than you’ve been in the job market, and I’m not saying that to tout my experience, but it’s equally frustrating to level some criticism at the FLOSS world and get accused of shortsighted/myopia/blah blah which was exactly my bone to pick with OP. That’s the only argument path. FLOSS is perfect, and if you disagree, you just don’t see it. That’s not a society. That’s a belief.

I’m not saying that’s the fairest take. (Please give me a better one that isn’t “people just don’t listen,” and I may be convinced.) Maybe if everything Posix were GPL we wouldn’t be offshoring our computing responsibilities to companies who built platforms with these tools, I don’t know. This has been the background noise of my entire adult life, though, and yeah, I’ve had enough reaping of the current state of affairs.

I assure you wholeheartedly that I care. I just disagree with you. Stop confusing the two.
Energy is the most valuable resource in the world. Russia produces a large-ish percentage of the worlds oil and gas: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_oil_exp...

Ukraine doesn’t even list on it. They produce grain the news says… about 1/3 as much wheat as Russia.

https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/top-wheat-producing-coun...

I can go on, but to put it simply Russian (and Belarus) GDP is much higher than Ukraine GDP. It’s safe to assume they produce more and strict sanctions on them will have a greater impact. Ukraine is still producing, so some of their goods are still able to come to market. That said, yes some was destroyed / impacted I’m sure — but again, far less than sanctions or the lockdowns.
Pre-Quantum Firefox handled more tabs better.
But either way, thank you for using noscript only for the counter and not to blank out the entire page! So many websites these days don't load at all without JavaScript.

They are using the past tense of Java. In case you don’t know, the primary use of Java when it came out was to run “applets” inside the browser. And it was terrible. It was later when it became mostly a server-side thing (which at the time was dominated by languages like Perl, PHP, etc.)
Maybe not: https://github.com/WebAssembly/memory64/blob/main/proposals/...
The other thing is that the semantics of JS force some constraints on the JIT that make it harder for it to optimize code aggressively. Specifically, JIT compilers for JavaScript need to implement dynamic de-optimization when optimized code paths turn out to be wrong (because JS can do things like overwrite a method, meaning inclined calls to the method are now invalid).

Afaict it's much easier to write a high performance JIT for WASM because those cases aren't possible. And consequently, it's easier for something compiling to WASM to get high performance out.
