Simple Tab Groups is how tab groups should have been done in Firefox from the start. I think if they would be like that they would not have to rip them out. Tab search or rather filtering is included and is such a splendid addition. Also automatic backup of groups is a fine feature, but so far I only needed to use it for migration.

I'm surprised that this crowd in particular is so incensed by someone paying $125 bucks a month for their software. If anyone knows how much it costs to make good software and run a company that operates and maintains, I'd think it would be HN.
If "decreased cognitive function" was the cause, then it should have been there before (or at the very beginning) of the social isolation (to cause it).
> FAANG contracts typically include a clause that the company owns any work done in your free time

Is this for real?? What a dystopian hell hole. It's called "free time". Do you need to purchase from the company store and live in their approved housing as well?

And you constantly bemoan unions here, looks like you could need someone helping you out with worker's rights..
Why do you need Amazon? You can easily live without that.
Apple One is a bundle. If you use the majority of the services at a given tier, it can make sense to just buy the bundle rather than a la carte.

Some of those definitely seem high for what they are. Certainly he has more than I do although I do subscribe to The Economist and The New York Times which are relatively high ticket and also have an Adobe subscription--in addition to various streaming content.
Most things let you keep access until expiration so just default to cancel and see what sticks for you. I always log in to cancel most things I start right away.
I tend to try to cancel some of mine a few times a year and renew the next I need them. That might be a two weeks (save 5%), a month (save 10%) or more.

This is also another reason (besides the credit card savings) why SAAS companies offering yearly deals really makes sense.
This looks dope. I live at the command line and ssh is secure and good. Question on pricing. Because if I invest time in this I’d like to know it will be around. Sure I’ll have the data and can push to anything else but it’s still nice to know that this will be paid and reasonably around for years to come.
Really? There are extensions for that sort of thing. Your extension list can even be synchronized across devices.

Tree Style Tab, for example, allows control over how new tabs are opened in relation to existing tabs if you don't like FF defaults. Even if you don't like the tree view, you get a UI that adds settings for how your tabs should open and stay grouped.
I find subscriptions interesting. Basically any business that wants to survive since forever used subscriptions.

The term subscription for monthly or yearly payments labeled as that just receives a lot of hate.

But what about the washing machine we have to buy again after X years? The iPhone we have to buy again after X years or any other product we use? Basically all subscriptions in disguise. Name one company that was successful in just selling their product one time to a customer.

I feel the same way about Safari. Yes, it's not perfect- and no, you don't get all the flexibility, but it's so lightweight, stable, and energy efficient, I have a hard time considering something with a few more features in the categories I've been able to do without.
> So far, I’ve only managed to score a couple, but I know of people who can’t seem to stop finding them. I guess it’s the same people who always seem to find pennies when they are walking around.

I don’t find pennies, but the first lock picks I made I made from street cleaner bristles someone gave me. I’d never seen one before up close, but since that day I’ve been unable to not find them and pick them up, typically one or two a week. Except that day I was working really late and when I looked at the empty parking lot as the sun rose and the ground flashed at me :-)

The same thing happened with four leaf clovers: a friend claimed they are reasonably common and we went out to a lawn and looked. Within a couple of days I’d trained my brain to detect them as I walk around.
Any computer is usable as a typewriter except of those you can find in museums.
I'm finally using Firefox as my daily driver now after a half dozen attempts over the years. They finally got the major perf issues and UX warts ironed out. I don't feel like I'm compromising anymore, in fact quite the opposite, especially when using privacy containers.
I didn’t realize Apple One Premier was that expensive.

I…guess it could make financial sense? If you do use Apple Music for streaming, and you do watch shows on Apple TV, and if you have a family that could plausibly use 2TB of backup storage. But yikes that seems costly—I have the 200GB iCloud Storage plan, and I still have over 100GB available.
I've seen plenty of people rejoice at the injuries of another team's players
Respect is defined by the respecter, not the respectee. How someone shows respect is up to them as an individual, mediated by societal norms. On the other hand, if someone feels disrespected it’s because they have detected either insincerity or outright hostility/antagonism directed towards them.

Of course, some people may have more or less difficulty detecting sincerity in others but that’s no different from other social skills.
While commercial VPNs are scams from a security perspective with misleading marketing, they're pretty useful for location spoofing and accessing blocked content (if the content service hasn't blocked a VPN already). Especially if you travel a fair amount and want to access things from the perspective of your home country, they do the job

I'd also say my password manager (1Password) is by far my most used and most bang for the buck subscription I currently have. I literally use it almost every hour of every day and paying a few dollars a year is not a big deal
Cutting through the hype of Blockchain Gaming
You're expecting output from your brain, while it's been affected by the virus.

Perhaps, instead, feed some input to your brain. Spend your time reading some nice books, memorise some interesting things, learn something fun. Input brings order and clarity to the mind.

Since you have all the time, now that you can't be productive anyway, spend that time creating some order in your mind. Feed your mind with all the stuff it's been lacking.

Aside from that, I find that vitamin D, magnesium, and iron supplements help with quick mental recovery from a cold.
"Any group with unpalatable views to the general public don't want to have their views expressed in the open" I agree.

I disagree however with your bigger point. The American far right in particular has gone through great lengths to be hidden. They financial backing is hidden through shell corporations and with protections they fought to carve out with Citizens United. Davos is widely publicized and the press covers it. Have you even heard of the Council for National Policy?

What I'm talking about is the subject of academic research, and is published

Right wing views are fine, in the context of following the law. I don't care about other people's politics to the extent they don't try to impose them on me. Seditious conspiracy is another story, and the American right is crossing into that territory recently.

Zig C++ directly compiles to WASM.
He was highly charizmatic and could adjust the way he talked to audience very well. Both in personal encounters and in public speeches. He would told you what you wanted to hear and project exact kind of personality he needed to project.
Interesting article, but you’ll notice he adjusts his grip around 0”12 because if he had kept just shaking and gently pulling they’d still have knotted. Similarly, the initial grip is already biased a certain way.

That human intuition about the physical system isn’t really captured in the algorithm. I’d be curious what rate of success a machine that truly just “shakes and pulls” would have in untangling headphones.
That seems like a profoundly ungenerous take to have on someone making a fairly honest post about them realizing they'd let their finances get away from them. It's not as if they're bragging about how much they spend. Presumably these are all things they started paying for because they found enjoyment or value in them at the time - no different than why anyone else pays for anything.
> No offense intended,

OK, here it comes ...

> Walk in the shoes of others here, look at discussions through different glasses than your own.

Reread my post. I was relating my experience, one that is atypical. I said what effect it had on me, and didn't tell anyone else what they should be doing. That seems to have offended you to the point that you are telling me how to behave, which is just rich. I'm very sorry my anecdote is disrupting debate and resolution of the meaningful problems our world faces.
I wanted to buy some VTC6 cells (for my RC planes), but there's a big counterfeit problem here, so I did what any one of us would do: I wrote a capacity testing program to graph the battery capacity. It's fairly easy to use, if you want to test your own cells, all you need (TM) is an electronic load and a drone FC (they come with voltage/current sensors and cost $15, plus I had a few lying around).

Here are some pretty graphs of fake and real VTC6es:

I don't even understand what "Uber for coding" is supposed to mean.

If anything, the uber parallel is hurting. Am I supposed to be underpaid, have no employee rights etc?
I suppose the opposite is true too: you could make a little circuit in volume that could turn junk (or any) batteries into firestarters. Glad nobody seems to have made these IFDs.
Things like buying coffee (a hot cup of coffee while out and about) is not something I started doing before I had a full-time job. It would have been mad of me to do that as a student.
It's been this way for years. HNers have a particularly egregious sense of entitlement around software, which is ironic because writing software pays their own bills. Perhaps a larger proportion of them nowadays are writing services that advertisers, rather than customers, are paying for, and so they don't see the cognitive dissonance.
I've become more open to paying for subscriptions over the years—especially for apps that continue to release updates or provide new content.

Just to add another data point, I'm currently at $858.21/year:

Amazon Prime: $139/year
Formula 1 TV: $79.99/year

No.

Edit: apparently some people think I am disagreeing with the statement in and of itself. Yes, Java is a homework language, but it’s real problems are far worse than that. Worst of all is the generation of developers that it produced.
Today I learned Amazon will recycle small electronics for free
Because most people don't realize how these fees compound. The realization is why people are incensed.

Which really makes you wonder, what businesses just survive by just this SAAS model that couldn't before in perpetual license/pre smart phone world.
I've found it's not worth it. What I've had be most impactful is just to look at all the transactions on my accounts every paycheck. I notice subscriptions to cancel, spending I want to change.

I don't think looking at sums is actually much more powerful than looking at items. The count carries a weight. There's also no chance of analysis paralysis, slicing and showing things a hundred ways to avoid the heart of the matter. It's just you and the transactions. It leads to less understanding but better decisions.
I never switched to Chrome, always used Firefox.

But it increasingly got more config-involving to make FF do what I wanted and maybe I overdid some settings/plugins and websites started to show incorrectly. Also the imho (much) too high salary for the CEO annoyed me (Mozilla is supposed to be "Internet for people, not profit").

Tried Brave and it was a nice experience after some initial cost to e.g. disable crypto. Some weeks ago I uninstalled FF on all my computers...
From the article:

> The discovery suggests that plankton faces complete wipe-out sooner than was expected.

> Every year, 18 million tons of heavy oil fuel is spilt into the seas by the shipping industry and breaks up into tiny particles that are toxic to plankton.

> Citing previous studies, Goes researchers had been expecting to discover 20 such microscopic specks per litre of Atlantic water – but actually counted between 100 and 1,000.

> They expected to find up to five visible pieces of plankton in every 10 litres of water – but found an average of less than one.

From NASA [1]:

> Phytoplankton are responsible for most of the transfer of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to the ocean. Carbon dioxide is consumed during photosynthesis, and the carbon is incorporated in the phytoplankton, just as carbon is stored in the wood and leaves of a tree. Most of the carbon is returned to near-surface waters when phytoplankton are eaten or decompose, but some falls into the ocean depths.

Of course.

But the easiest way to guess at the future is to look at similar problems of the past.

Bank of Canada already said inflation won’t be under control for 2 more years.
The first benchmark isn't measuring the performance of WASM, but the calling overhead from JS to WASM (which is pretty small, but it's still an optimization barrier for the JS engine).

The second benchmark isn't measuring the performance of Javascript, but the performance of the Javascript sort() call (which most likely is implemented as native code).

In general, WASM should be both in the same ballpark as portable natively compiled code (e.g. not using SIMD), as well as Javascript which has been written for performance (which also means that well written - but non-idiomatic - Javascript can be in the same ballpark as portable native code).

The main advantage of WASM versus JS isn't mainly performance, but predictable performance (because the GC is taken out of the picture, and the linear memory model), and that WASM is a better compilation target than JS.
If i sell you lunch, is it a subscription just because you will eventually eat again? That doesn't make sense.
The important criterion is that a subscription will make you pay automatically without you making another choice.
> I personally wouldn't pay an ongoing fee for a password manager.

I would say that proper password manager is the best investment you can do from any app.
You use it daily on many platforms. If you don’t, either you repeat your passwords or are using some other bad practices.
Proper password manager saves your time and probably keeps all of your services more secure.
In Sweden, "kaffe med avec" means coffee with cognac (or other spirit). Of course it literally means coffee with with.
It is a philosophical framework that grows directly out of Western culture per philosophical tradition during the Enlightenment era. Western culture had much more of an effect on this tradition than Eastern cultures did.

It's not about where the philosophy exists in individuals, but about what socio-systemic forces brought those modes of thinking into being. Ironically this mirrors the point above about how the framing of this issue itself is rooted in individualist perspective.
Or quite well correlated like flying kite with metal strings during a storm and getting hit by lighting.

After all we know that people are social animals, that we acquire language and reasoning abilities by interacting with others in childhood (and children that are prevented from doing that have developmental problems), and that forced isolation in adults (in prison, lost in some forrest, or whatever) also brings several psychological and mental problems, and can even be used as punishment and torture.
This, in turn, is because they are converting the compilers from a proprietary code generator to LLVM.
Those experienced with web dev around here will tell you Chrome is the main (or only) browser tested with most websites these days. Some things might be slow or broken in Firefox. One example situation that comes to mind is you can't scroll to the bottom of the page on some sites in Firefox due to terrible spaghetti layout design, so the submit button is not normally reachable. Or it loads under a banner and becomes unclickable.

There's also some sites that seem to actively make things worse on purpose or refuse to load even if they otherwise do work. I think YouTube was noted for doing this a few years ago.

In other areas, small company sites may claim Firefox just doesn't work on their site. Sometimes prompted because an ancient version once was broken and the browser entry list was never updated, or they simply forgot to account for it in the grouping of "Internet Explorer or Other." I see this more often than I would like.
Comparing American football and hockey and other brutal sports to a high five is what dilutes the meaning of the word. These are sports where men aggressively assault each other. They are institutionalized violence.
I only use Chrome for some of the pants-down redirect-happy stuff required by work. FF tends to break the transitions because they are inherently insecure, but Chrome happily proceeds with them.
You put too much stock in polls. The average (or even intelligent) person does not have time for polls. Trusting these numbers is to believe in FUD.

For me, one of the coolest thing about the Robocop movie series is that, each Robocop movie is about the next Robocop. Robocop 1 is about Murphy being the first Robocop, Robocop 2 is about Cain becoming the second Robocop, and Robocop 3 is about the asian looking Robocops -- the third generation.

Have we always been like this, or was it the others that made us like this?
> But once we're at a point where even wage increases lead to inflation, then we're in a really bad place.

Why is that bad? Given the asset inflation it is only anticipated wages catch up or assets crash.
Haha, we are very different.

respect is earned by being respectable, and its a two way street.
fear is not respect, and violence is not leadership.
you cant command people to respect you.

if people respect you they are more likely to cooperate when they encounter crime, instead of avoiding you and ignoring criminal behaviour, out of self preservation.

when the general public cooperates with you there is a much greater chance of aleveiating the crime. when the public fears you they will avoid interaction with you.

there are much better ways to suppress crime, than turning traffic laws into fishing expeditions, until you by chance encounter evidence of a crime.
I'd switch to Firefox in a heartbeat if I could somehow focus the URL bar with Cmd+D instead of Cmd+L (years of muscle memory with Alt+D on Linux previously).

Other browsers have a menu entry for this (File -> Open Location... in Chrome) so keyboard shortcuts can be switched in the Keyboard settings but Firefox doesn't have this. :|

I've tried various methods without success. If anyone had a working solution I'd be very grateful.

It's easy to lose perspective, but that amount is 5% of the average net income in the US.
Especially among people who don't really pay attention to their budget, I'd expect this to be common. Maybe not as extreme as some of the apps are more aimed at professionals, but having seen the amount of money people who really can't afford it drop on useless subscriptions (e.g. antivirus for iOS) despite being told it's useless...
> Or maybe you think that motivation already is secretly driving propaganda or political lobbying or similar?

I can think of many possibilities for people to passively and non-economically serve the will of the state in an always-online world, but I don't think it's appropriate to openly speculate about that sort of thing since it is Unknowable. Just knowing it's possible is enough for me :)

But I sure can tell you a few easy changes for BCL ecosystem can make a huge difference:

* Testing: despite the common knowledge of testing everything, BCL has not testing facility. No man power to support this easy (easy in relative scale) feature.

* Code search: BCL has inheritance like semantic, but no support in code search to navigate the code base. That's ridiculous. If anyone claim Google cpp code can be supported by lack of code searching navigation, then BCL is rightly to be called mysterious and lack sane language design.

* Packaging: BCL is always halg mixed and half separated with executable. That's just plainly stupidity.

* Lack of sane abstraction from Borg: Borg was designed without package concept. Borg's package was entirely an invention by BCL and borgcfg, as an idempotent shell command executed before starting Borg job. Go figure how much a shaky ground BCL is relying on. And how much blame Bcl has to suffer on behalf of Borg's lazy design.
Depends on the shop and the hour. A lot of people shop on graveyard shift to avoid other people.
I have it. I use it with 6 people and we all use Apple Music, watch stuff on Apple TV and use about 1.2TB of storage for backing up 5 macs and 12 iOS devices. Two of us use Apple Fitness. Oh plus hosting 3 email domains. Works out fairly cheap if you use it all.

Quantum computers don't analyze physical systems by reproducing them 1:1 in a different substrate and evolving them. They can be used that way, but it's inefficient. For example, you might do chemistry computations in first quantization, where you keep a list of electron locations (each location being a triplet of 2s complement integers, under superposition). You operate on this representation using adders and table lookups and other not-at-all-analog approaches.

For example, [1] is about preparing first quantized fermionic states more efficiently. It uses sorting networks to do it. Nature doesn't prepare these states using sorting networks, but that's no reason not to do it in the quantum computer to reduce costs.
