Ask HN: Any compelling reason to use Safari in 2022?
I've used Firefox, Chrome, Brave, Opera, etc. But every time I use Safari it just feels like an app with gimmicks and fancy UI but without actually offering the power I need. Most of it is due to how Safari handles extensions: I don't want each extension to be installed like an `app' on macOS! And I certainly don't want to install extensions through App Store because it all feels too "sandboxy". On top of that, some of my shortcuts don't work there, e.g., going back is CMD-← in Chrome, but CMD-[ in Safari.

Why should I consider Safari in 2022? Are there privacy reasons? Better integration with Apple's ecosystem?
Could you explain just how you are standing 'with Ghana on this'?

As an aside: I'm pretty damn sure that if something wasn't 'bringing in the money anymore', that Ghana would immediately fuck it off right out the window.
As would anyone/anything else.

And just how should the Brits own up to their colonial past?

A fucking parade? Or, perhaps fix roads that ambulances STILL can't get down?
too late. those seeking asylum are forced to 'remain in Mexico' and others flown back into dangerous places. Instances where people are forcibly deported somewhere they have never spent time as an adult, have no family, no money, etc.

I find the whole system disgusting.

The US Govt purposefully restricts opportunities to request asylum in the way in which our govt deems 'legal.' e.g. a few people at a time through sparse border crossings.

And then prosecute those who cross the border because it's the only way to state their claim.

Shameful.

The propaganda of 'invasion' and 'replacement' has really made this a politically toxic issue. A dangerous one at that.
Five Ways to Write Like The Economist [pdf] (2010)
Nice! Couple of minor (haha) issues:

* The label "Rising octave" on the octave-up button doesn't make sense. Maybe you meant "Higher octave", assuming the "Lower" in the "Lower octave" button is the adjective form of "lower". If "Lower" is acting as a verb, however, then "Raise octave" would be consistent, but I don't think it sounds very natural. "Octave up" and "Octave down" might be more natural based on my recollection of music software and hardware I've used.

* As another poster noted, the (FM?) synthesizer is clipping badly when it plays chords. It's noticeable on basic 3-note triads, but it's much worse on chords with many extension tones, like a C13.

Thanks for sharing.
Is it still two factor if remote actor can access the second factor with only your master password? (I guess they also need to your email, to verify a new device...)
Sometimes when I hit the play button for a chord, the notes don't all start at the same time. I can't figure out a pattern for when this works and when it doesn't.
I think definiteness doesn't need to be a shared context.

"I went to the the train station to pick up a map on my way here". "Great, thanks!"

It was a specific train station that I chose intentionally or visit regularly, but it's not relevant to the conversation which one.

If I were to use "a train station" then it implies I didn't care which train station it was.

My understanding is that binning is mostly about core count and core operating frequency.

Intel has a hard-on for segmenting their product lines. To the point they "launch" new products like the i9, which is just what an i7 used to be. They also deliberately cripple products, like selling SKUs with VT-x disabled. Not to mention them keeping ECC memory out of the entire desktop market for basically all of history.
My otherwise high-EQ boss does this all the time and it drives me bonkers.
The one experience I have with going through (a respected technical) publisher is that, relative to self-publishing, the primary benefit was that a lot of people took it as a bit of a Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval with respect to book signings, reputational enhancement, etc. But the advance was pretty trivial and the editorial/marketing support was very limited.

It also imposed a lot of restrictions on pricing, length, and free distribution.

Obviously people do well by publishers but IMO it's hard to make a case that they're the vitally important gatekeepers they once were. YMMV of course.
Every time such apps are shown on HN, I notice a lot of attention by the community. It seems a lot of hackers also play music!
My use case: A background script, sorry, Service Worker registers a Context Menu Entry. When the user clicks on it it fetches some stuff an copies a link to clipboard.

Using MV3 as it is this is not possible.

As someone in the thread said, it is not really feasible to try to find all ways that user interaction can trigger code that requires clipboard access. If that is the route Google want to go down it will take years of people reporting new ways the system does not work until it is usable imo.
No, I don’t think people think that… because that isn’t what it means. People aren’t annoyed or sarcastic towards you… they are just pausing for a second.
The thing is, on a perfect day, Germany has enough solar capacity to fulfill almost all of its electricity needs.

But that perfect day is rare, largely because of Germany’s climate.

So you have a situation where you have to essentially install over 100% of your needs in solar. You’re overspending for suboptimum results.
There seems to be overblown moral panic on both the right and left side of this issue.

For anyone who wants to see large organizations, and governments, move fast and get a lot done, then it is important to recognize how obsolete some of these older systems of voting are. All of the older systems, from before the year 1900, made the assumption that the representatives who voted needed to show up in a physical space. Clearly, if you jettison that assumption, then it is possible to introduce a system that is streamlined and allows for fast action. Further details here:

That's the principle, yea. But we wouldn't be having a student debt crisis if they was all there was to it. Enough people can't.

We build bankruptcy into debt systems not just to give people relief, but also to take the risk off of people and put them on lenders with actuarial resources.

Just to note, extraction works well ( I did the same thing to migrate ) but services with Authy-integrated MFA ( like Twitch ) are "managed" by Authy so it can regenerate the secret on the fly and transparently to the end user, at which point your previously extracted secret will no longer be valid.

This doesn't affect any of the MFA secrets you manually added to Authy, and these days many of the integrated services will let you additionally add standard TOTP mfa to your account ( unfortunately Twitch still requires you to set up an Authy account first, though )
I would consider flipping causality. I think those places, typically cities and ports, are disposed to having larger drug populations, be that from abundance of supply or some other factor. Then, those places end up passing lenient laws as a result of the problem, and instead cope via non-criminal programs like safe injection sites.

It’s not like Vancouver or SF decided first to have safe injection sites, and then suddenly had huge heroin problems.
Yes! This is a remarkable typo that gives a very different impression of the history of the tree. 4 million trees in the whole eastern US would make them uncommon even at their peak, when the truth is that they were everywhere.
>For any well tested, human written code 100k would be a huge undertaking.

It does take a long time for 1 person to write 100k of non-auto generated, tested, documented code. Especially multi platform. But it is definitely doable. I've done it.
From a competition standpoint?

The worry is that a merger would reduce upfront payments to authors because there is less competition (among other things). Authors like upfront payments as it reduces the risk for them. However, it is unclear if this would reduce payments as the market is pretty fractured.

"but why does that matter so long as there is a cheap, non-censored method of getting writings out into the ether?"

Many authors are not technical, and for them, dealing with formatting, uploading it to services, and all that "tech" stuff is immensely hard (especially if they have an FT job and a family).

And, to create a great book requires a great editor most of the time. That isn't cheap, especially if they are going deep into your story. Traditional publishing is still a huge stamp of quality that helps sell books, gets the author exposure, and gets you in physical bookstores.

Plus, if you are a new author, you write book(s) while doing something FT. That is hard; if payments go down, you could lose entire generations of authors as they don't have the time or money to devote to writing. We probably already are losing generations of authors given how rough the market is with the changes over the last 20 years.

Does that help?
It actually is pretty "simple" in this case (the tree needs to produce a single chemical, oxalate oxidase). There is a program that has done this very successfully, and it just working through the regulatory process before wider distribution can happen. They have thousands of trees in (controlled) forest plots, including three generations of offspring.
The usual way electrical fires happen: Electric wiring work done by incompetents. So much bad wiring, in places that are very inconvenient to inspect.
Dude talk to Beorg, I was a very bright college student with ADHD (diagnosed as a freshman, first quarter at Stanford, Adult ADD, absolute textbook case ie every symptom and no symptoms of anything else, open about it like one of my doctors), I basically flunked when Beorg broke down. It was a combo. It's a one man show, but you could be stronger together.

The things the gene gun can do turn out to be not the most useful things one could hope for from it.

I assume your experience must be common to explain the prevalence of opioid addiction. But, my experiences are a counter-example-- opioids are not pleasant for everyone.

The first time, I was given an opioid (after surgery) I felt irrationally angry-- as in completely irrational anger at e.g., the color the walls were painted. After snapping at my girlfriend who was being super sweet and supportive, I immediately stopped taking them. This was pills, but I do not recall the name. The angry feeling passed within hours after missing the next dose. The period of apology lasted much longer. I can believe that someone experiencing similar irrational anger could do more than verbally snap at someone.

The second time, was Dilaudid via IV while recovering in hospital (machine with button to press to self-dose when in pain). No bad reaction this time.

I wouldn't describe either experience as euphoric. The first experience was negative and the second, other than helping with pain, was neutral.
For something you’re likely to use every day for at least 3-4 years in part to make a living I would say $400 is not a material difference. Like $0.35/day and that doesn’t take into account differences in residual (resale) value between Apple and non-Apple laptops.

Essentially, there’s plenty of installed solar capacity but most of it can’t be utilized fully unless its a perfect day. So you have to essentially rely on backup and keep installing more and more solar capacity beyond your needs because those perfect solar days are so rare in Germany.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone who has ever spent even two days in Germany - the country isn’t exactly brimming with sunlight.

Skimming this makes me long for the time when the multiuser nature of Unix was really utilized as intended.

I miss being on a system and typing "who" to see who is on, and starting a chat with them with "talk". Or sending mail to other users just on that system. Using "finger" to read updates in their .plan files.

Many of the "social" aspects of the internet today existed in that multiuser aspect of Unix, in a much more intimate way.

Macs and Linux machines are still multiuser systems, but "users" are pretty much just used to provide separate configuration and permissions scoping for different application services. It would be nice to have someone hop onto a terminal on my Mac once in awhile and say hello.
I know there are a lot of valid complaints about Manifest v3, but I don't understand this one. You're telling me that browser extensions should be able to read and write to my clipboard silently at all times, with no user activation or notification? Honestly, that's kind of horrifying, and I'm shocked to hear it existed on v2 extensions. It sounds like a great way to build a keylogger for user passwords.

What are some valid usecases for this permission? I guess "syncing clipboards between two operating systems" is one of them? But why build that as a browser extension? It seems like the wrong tool for the job.
I'd argue that the humiliation of arresting and imprisoning someone for a single speeding ticket is the only anti-social occurrence here.

Hmm, what I was thinking of was that everyone seemed to be competing with each other to click random UI elements on the virtual browser as rapidly as possible, I assume because there wasn't a way to speak with one another / coordinate. Or maybe I just missed the chat area?
Your analysis is also very simplistic.

A labor shortage is potentially an opportunity for the economy to re-rorient itself and for wealth to be redistributed. Companies producing goods that are more in demand will afford higher wages, while companies that produce less in-demand goods will not, and can ramp-down their production or go bankrupt.

To take an extreme hypothetical - let's say there was a massive shortage of food workers. As the price of food increases, so would the wages for food workers, until they will start pulling people from other industries, which can no longer offer competitive salaries. This could lead to something like ad-tech eventually start losing low-level workers to agri-business.

Essentially, the mistake in your argument is to assume that demand is high and inflexible around the board. In reality, certain industries have higher demand than others, and many workers can change industry, even in the short term, if incentives are high enough.

However, companies used to cheap labor and high margins are not willing to give up their profits and reduce their margins, so they are begging the state to find a way to force people to keep working for them for nothing.

Is there even a single mother's view in this thread? I bet no. Mothers don't have time and power for the first few years.

So my advice is this: Don't be unfair to your wife and think about her career sooner than later. Having kids is the number one reason why women earn less and there's often no way to catch up until retirement. So the sooner she gets back into a full-time job the better.

It's not about the things this thread suggests. Having a good time with the kids is important, yes. But this is quality time, anyway. The mother will also enjoy it. It's about all the rest. Doing the laundry, going grocery shopping with the little ones, cooking, doing the dishes, etc.

Also give her time for herself. If you're in a job, you have a large part of your day talking to adults. Mothers of young kids don't have this opportunity, so give her some time without the kids where she can do whatever she wants.
You should be able to see inode usage with `df -i`, no? I usually use `df -Tih` (print the file system type, list inode usage, in human-readable format).

I've had the other case where `df` says the disk is full with plenty of inodes left, but then `ncdu` says there is plenty of space (supposedly).

Lo' and behold, you have some borked process still holding GBs of log files open that you thought you "deleted" -- really unlinked from a directory.

tl;dr: Don't forget `lsof +L1` to find pesky processes that are holding files open that you unlinked from a directory but have yet to be actually marked as deleted on the filesystem [1]. The space on disk won't be freed until the process closes the files or is terminated. (Technically, the open files are associated with a mount point, not the file system itself, which makes dealing with symbolic links across file systems somewhat confusing.)

Taking a guess at what you're noticing but might not have a framework/vocabulary for...

It sounds like FM synthesis[0] to me (so either an embedded FM software synthesizer or simply replaying samples of FM synthesis), so the timbre is quite unlike a "real" piano or PCM samples of a real piano. Timbre is a kind of "color" of "quality" of a sound - in my head it's similar to how different materials feel different to the touch. A violin and a trumpet can play the same "note" but their sounds have very different timbres. An apple and a ball might both appear red but have different surface textures.

The "piano" in the app sounds like the piano patches (presets) on FM-based synthesizers from the 1980s[1], where the designers tried to approximate the timbre of a piano using the limited (but fun!) possibilities of FM, while the transients and harmonics produced by a real acoustic piano are more complex.

The pitches and temperament sound OK to me, so I think what you are are hearing is the timbre. That is, the app is playing the "right" notes, but it's as if you're hearing a "different instrument", albeit one that is an early digital approximation of a piano sound.

The Finnish case markers are not clitics. Clitics are distinguished in that they modify phrases, not words. For example the English possessive “‘s” is a clitic because it can modify a whole phrase in something like “[the Queen of England]’s hat” although it cannot appear as a word on its own. In contrast, the Finnish case markers are bound phonologically and syntactically to a single word and so they are affixes, not clitics.
