No, Firefox didn’t die because a few of us devs stopped using it and standardized around chromium. They died because chrome has outperformed them on speed and efficiency for a decade+ (I still can’t run FF on my Mac without my fans whirring to life). Not to mention things completely outside their control like chromes marketing budget.

I’m not trying to place tons of judgement on Mozilla though - just saying we all need to face the reality rather than living in denialism.
Or if you call the police, they just never show up, or when they do, tell you not even bother filing a report.

Citizen: Someone stole my backpack and laptop out of my car!

Police: And?
Wow. So 8.5 days is almost the half-point of the pregnancy.
Surely there is more creativity out there than this?
Pretty much, though the ability to obtain file descriptors is limited. Like (ideal) physical keys, only the originators have the ability to pass them along and make copies of them.

Also, with the ability to internally compartmentalize programs.

WC3 creates the standards and it’s up to the browsers to implement them.
What's in the bitwarden_license folder btw?
this! i’m working on it now. just yesterday blocked a test program from reading a file for the first time ever. littlesnitch like ui popup: should program foo read file bar? denied.
That's mostly looking at downtown though?
Turqoise health kinda does this now, not as robust yet but I have been using it to check out prices. Hopefully, your use case becomes a reality soon.
I just do it in my play money account. Casual day trading wastes too much time that I could otherwise waste on HN, so I risk my money with TQQQ instead.
This company really is a complete and utter dumpster fire.
Firefox market share is dying because for the longest time it was slower than Chromium. These days in my personal experience, it's mostly on-par but there's not a whole lot of compelling reasons to use it.

I get the privacy angle, but I'm searching Google anyway. They have all my email since 2004, my photos since 2007. My phone is Android. Switching to Firefox alone makes a minimal impact on my overall privacy footprint and causes some websites to load slower.

In ye olden days you could make the argument that it was more customizable than Chrome, but since the shift to WebExtensions that differentiator is gone. What's wild is that they didn't think of the top 10 power user features (like Tree Style Tabs) and attempt native support for them, they just kneecapped extensions without offering an alternative.
There were some privacy concerns, regarding leaking of user information: https://github.com/WICG/scroll-to-text-fragment/issues/76
Coincidentally came across a comment by Neil Gaiman today, related to this topic on Reddit: I don't write much about gay sex, as people who have read my book would know. But oddly, I don't read tweet like this and feel to convert. Instead I read it and vaguely wish I'd actually written more about gay sex. (Source: https://old.reddit.com/r/me_irlgbt/comments/x79303/me_irlgbt... ).

Isn't it an interesting perspective from a writer? Inspiration and creativity comes from such moments, and tomorrow if this writer creates a gay character for some story, you can feel the author will do a good job of characterisation and making such character feel real. When the writing is good, an actor feels connected to it and the director and show-maker too are inspired to do justice it. Right now it doesn't often feel like that. sometimes when I see some of the awful effort of some of these LGBT / person of colour (PoC) / powerful women scenes, out of boredom I often find myself imagining how such a scene was shot - someone at the production unit suddenly remembers, "Ok, who is playing the token LGBT / PoC / Women? Let's get on with it. What's the scene about - Is it about them facing humiliation 'cos of their identity, showing them being accepted, a sex scene with them, or them finding their own voice or power?" ... (And later in the editing room some director instructing some intern) "OK, trim these hour long footage of the LGBT / PoC / woman character into 1 to 5 minutes snippets and insert it somewhere in episode 1, 5, 7 and wrap it up!" ...

As for every story requiring an LGBT character because they "exist everywhere", can't many other vulnerable / minority group too lay a claim on that? For example, I am sure there are more muslims in the USA than there are LGBTs - should every American TV show now start including muslim, Hindus, Jews, Sikhs, Indian-American, Chinese-Americans characters etc., etc? Obviously, you realistically can't. (And note that all these groups too face bigotry and hatred just because of who they are).

As a non-american, I prefer the previous format of American television where good story didn't have such contrived caricaturisation and only relevant characters that added to the stories. Will and Grace or Modern Family come to mind when I think of how LGBT characters were relevant, well integrated and portrayed well in the story. Recently I finished watching Atlanta and really love the show, especially due to the insights on black culture (in the US) it offered. Shows like "The Good Wife" and "The Good Fight" show women empowerment so naturally and elegantly that you don't even notice it while enjoying the drama. I feel such dramas do more justice to an LGBT / PoC / woman character than some token characters inserted forcefully.
If we want to get rid of all gas furnaces within 20 years, we have to start now if we want to do it the cheapest way. Furnaces have a 20 year lifespan, so if we install any more gas furnaces in the future, we'll have to rip them out before end of life. Instead, whenever a furnace needs replacement, put in a heat exchanger.

Gas generators OTOH have a 50 year lifespan. They'll have to be ripped out prematurely.
Most people write comments at work. You'll do it too when you graduate and get a job.
> If they had to comply with local law in every area they operate

...then they would be on a level playing field with everybody else. The alternative ("we don't care for some of these laws in some places we operate, so we decline to follow them") is what is generally referred to as a criminal enterprise.
Also check out Ungoogled Chromium (https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium) which goes above & beyond by not just "proxying" services but rather removing all phone-home functionality altogether.

There's no for-profit entity behind it, so no perverse incentives to monetize either (but that also means they don't have a budget for proper CI, signing, distribution, etc.) so there's a bit of DIY work involved on less-popular platforms.

I use Ungoogled Chromium as a backup whenever a website makes the unfortunate choice of not properly supporting my main browser, Firefox.
This made me curious so I googled. It looks like you need to still pay tax in the other country (DTA), so, for example, as an American, I'd need to pay tax in America. Ofcourse I could get the FEIE but that only solves the problem for the first 110k USD. If you're paying 0% on more than 110k, where are u from? I guess most countries don't have worldwide taxation so you would just pay 0% in Portugal and 0% in the other country. Thanks for helping...
Had this exact same problem. It was a specific color inkjet driver doing this, my guess is to enable dithering or something similar. It’s one of those things that infects everything in the code base because the way you print with GDI is to progressively draw parts of the page - so you have to call in and out of code that talks to the printer DC. We also had to render one item using Direct3D retained mode and that added to the fp control word complexity. Things seemed to be more robust on NT based OSes.
Here's one tiny example. Take Doctors (Medical doctors.) One of their frequent tasks is reviewing film from X-rays, MRI's, CAT scans, etc. The bulk of this work could be offloaded to an AI/Expert System, relieving them of reviewing film that the vast majority of the time shows nothing of value, and giving them more time to treat patients. Not only that, but expert systems can combine the opinions and experience of thousands of doctors, rather than just one and they'll do a better and faster job of it.

And that's just one tiny example. There are uncountable tasks and entire jobs that require people to do intellectual "grunt work" that could not only be relieved of this drudgery, but also saved from simple human error.

AI will revolutionize every part of our lives.
Please stop telling users their preferences are incorrect.
Well that was just my hobby and side-gig... As part of my day jobs, I also worked on many projects with different databases including MySQL, Postgres, SQLite, MongoDB. I also implemented a side project (a distributed financial transaction processing system) using RethinkDB with per-table sharding and replication which runs on Kubernetes with statefulsets for persistence with automatic deployment and autoscaling and automatic database shard re-balancing with high availability with eventual consistency; I used a 2-phase commit algorithm for certain operations to achieve reliability in the event of write failure; as not to rely on atomic database transactions. I also did a course on relational database modeling at university (focused on ER diagrams and database normalization). I worked in the blockchain sector. I wrote a stateful, quantum-resistant blockchain from scratch including the cryptographic signature algorithm which uses an improved Lamport OTS variant suggested by Ralf Merkle and which uses a Merkle Signature Tree for key reuse and I contributed to the front end too. I also wrote a deterministic, fork-resistant, idempotent, heterogeneous multi-chain, chain-to-chain decentralized exchange. I also lead a team which wrote a P2P networking library with decentralized routing and efficient propagation of messages to peers belonging to the same subnets - Nodes in the network organized themselves into an unstructured, partial mesh topology with peer shuffling to avoid eclipse attacks but still retained the ability to form subnets based on the features they supported. But still, "a lot of data" a relative term.
We're currently working on adding Riff to Nixpkgs, and as soon as that happens you'll be able to use it as a dependency in Bob.

As for Devbox, that's certainly an interesting tool but not really something that can be integrated with Riff due to the language difference (Go vs. Rust), but it is fair to say that the projects have related goals.
Evidence from Portland, which decriminalized all drugs via Measure 101, the answer is, "Whatever crimes are necessary to enable people to afford their drug of choice."

Not all drugs are equal. You can't drink your way into effectively schizophrenia, but you can get there in no time with the currently available super-potent variety of meth. Some drugs completely wreck your ability to live in a way compatible with holding down a job, which means that you'll pretty quickly have to turn to crime if you want to keep doing them.
It's also pretty likely that any sufficiently belligerent species with access to technology at our level or greater will use that technology to destroy themselves in exactly those kind of resource conflicts, in which case the filter works in the direction opposite you claim here - only species capable of suppressing belligerence are able to make it to the stars.

It's hard to believe that anyone would want to live in any building, much less a freaking ultra high rise, with any sort of foundational issues, especially after the Miami condo collapse.
How much money does meta even make from political ads? Why would they even want to deal with this?
just looks like futuristic solar punk. but tbf, I would like to see more of this incorporation of nature into architecture as part of the foundation and less of a purely aesthetic addition like almost every single western skyscraper.
I don’t want to promote scams though.
Long time resident. There are three groups in SF: Long term renters (on rent control), renters that will leave and owners. Basically, only the long time renters and owners vote. Owners don't want any new construction. Long time renters don't want rent raised. So there you go. Nothing gets done.
You are correct by their design. But by usage I've found that to be by far the most valuable thing that ORMs deliver. Making use of ORMs to power an ActiveRecord system in your codebase has only ever, to my observation, lead to pain. Querybuilders that are equipped with more advanced functionality around type security and response decoding are quite a valuable tool.
They'll crush employee moral with return to office and blow up productive teams as the technical leaders leave. They'll say to their shareholders they are trying to downsize but they'll be left with an unproductive shell of mediocre/bad unhappy workers.

Seeing this here at my work. Everyone good left. Talking about technically excellent peer leaders making 180k but providing millions in value.
The free source is supplemented or complemented by open source for a reason. This debate should be much documented than for the future kids to guess from posting in web archive and book hard to get.
Thanks for this. I wish there was more empathy, respect for the suffering of others, as diffuse, hardly-visible or 'lazy' it might sound. For a start. The medical diagnostics, discoveries, treatment or cures may take time to appear, but the default should be: so, you're in pain, I believe you.

Yes some people will abuse your empathy, or seek attention through simulated pain, but that's also something we should strive to take care and cure.

The default should be 'I believe you're in pain, let's see what we can do for you'. Maybe this is first-world idealistic, maybe religious-rooted I don't know, but it is a horrible experience where you fear talking about your pain because you'll be judged, shunned, rejected, mocked, blamed.
surely you are not arguing it won't go down at all, right? So the question really is, what amount of homelessness will disappear. It may be that it is not cost effective. That is a reasonable possibility, i suppose. I think tho, it is a difficult prediction to make, and so shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.
Is there a newsletter I can subscribe to so that I get get notified of new posts to your blog?
Maybe because you can put identifying data in the URL, I guess?

Not that you can't do that with a anchor, param, or an endpoint that can take arbitrary numbers/strings.

I'd love to know the explanation too.
"The Planning Department, like always, required him to notify neighbors of the plan and allowed any one of them within 150 feet to object. Neighbors learned about the project in late February and had until mid-April to complain. And someone did complain, triggering a hearing at the Planning Commission, which can take 12 weeks to schedule. That’s many months of rent flushed away because one neighbor doesn’t like what’s allowed by the city.

San Francisco stands out among American cities for many reasons, and this ridiculous system is sadly one of them.

In Yu’s case, the complaining neighbor was a competing ice cream shop. It doesn’t take a genius to see why that shop might gripe, but nevertheless Yu had to hire a lawyer and wait until the hearing on June 11 to do any more work on his shop."

SQL does not fully implement Relational Algebra or Calculus, which are isomorphic.

See Many of Chris Dates' books and things like Tutorial D which do meet the ALgebra.

SQL is near enough the theory to work and also has had so much effort put into making it work fast, reliably and scale for volume that a new language has too much to overcome even if it can deal with all cases. So it won't be replaced soon.

However 100 years is longer than SQL had been around so a proper relation server could come around, there is just too much uncertainty.

> we do need standardization in this modern web world and chromium is just that.

Yes, we need standardisation - that means we need multiple browser engines. You can't have a standardised web with a single browser engine. That's the whole point of standards.

Generally speaking, the W3C will only move a standard into the recommendation track if two competing implementations have been demonstrated.

If Chromium was the only browser engine around we wouldn't have web standards: we'd have Chromium features.
Hello everyone! We would like to share with you this podcast (for Spanish speakers) where we talked with QA Engineers Mariano Castillo and Facundo Mallea to tell us about the Quality Assurance area. They talk about what it’s like to work with QA, what they do, what tools they use, among other things in the world of testing.

We hope you like it! https://www.octobot.io/podcast/tech/quality-assurance/
Makes sense, buy wholesale, arbitrage, and deflect blame by creating scapegoats through mass media.
Nothing in my comment "denigrates RMS for being too old."

Lacking any form of social grace or interpersonal skills to the point that he picks and eats his toe-cheese while on-stage for a speaking engagement, being a serial sexual harasser and general pest of women (including telling multiple college-age women that if they don't date him he'd kill himself) to the point that all the women in his office kept substantial houseplant collections in their offices because he hates houseplants, and being unable to even shut his mouth about how 'really, age is just a number' when it comes to sex with kids, and becomes extremely petulant about it when everyone objects to those views...

...is not "denigrating someone as being too old."

I just logged in via Bitwarden on Safari to reply here. My vault is self-hosted via the Vaultwarden project, which is a lighter-weight implementation written in Rust. It is hosted on the free tier of GCP, which is proving more than enough for personal use. The self-hosted server interoperates flawlessly with the official Bitwarden clients. I have no complaints regarding the user experience on MacOS/iOS/iPadOS. However, I was not a fan of the user experience on Android. I recently setup Bitwarden for a couple family members who use Android and it definitely didn't feel as frictionless as it does on my Apple devices. Not sure if that's because of how Android implements password managers or how the Bitwarden app for Android is implemented.
I don't think you understand what a heat pump is or how they work. Its an air conditioner that can run in reverse. So in the centralized case like we are discussing, the outside part is the compressor, the inside part does a heat exchange between the refrigerant and the air handling system and then on to the duct work.

Air is not moved from outside to inside via PVC or other method. Refrigerant (freon in older systems, more obscure names now) moves from outside to inside via a small copper pipe.
Ask HN: What's up with these YouTube recommendations?
Somewhat regularly I get YouTube recommendations that I enjoy and that feel peculiar at the same time.
Today it was this[1] video by Macroblank called 痛みの永遠.

Almost always I have no prior knowledge or context of the content. Never heard of Macroblank, I don't listen to this kind of music etc.

Most of the top comments seem to agree. Their comments read like this one from YT: "I've never heard of this band/artist before, I don't have any clue what this album or any of its songs are called, and I don't think I've ever even listened to anything like this on YouTube before, but I am very glad this randomly came up in my recommendations."

Why do so many people at the same time get a recommendation for one specific item?

I am still firmly in never-again-Hewlett-Packard camp after almost 20 years.

The final straw for me was purchasing an HP laser printer (probably the 6th or 7th one I ever bought) and it shockingly had the same extreme-low-quality level that I had experienced with HP laptops, CD ROM drives and other peripherals.

It is probably not fair but I blame Carly Fiorina for this degradation of once reliable hardware manufacturer.
We couldn't even stay in our own houses a week or two early in Covid days. There's absolutely zero chance more than four or five people can be on a rocket ship long enough to get somewhere and do something.

Numerous TV shows have proven that to be true.
Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.

> In an ideal world house prices would increase 1:1 with wage growth from an affordable baseline.

There's only one way to do that - a command economy, with all housing owned and doled out by the government. That just doesn't work, anywhere, ever.

You have to work very hard to ignore the fact that some places are more desirable than others to live in, and sometimes those desirable places change. Also, different people have different priorities, desires, and ability to afford both for their housing. How do you accommodate that pressure without 100% control over the entire real estate market?

What? This is some weird overblown reaction.

The absurdity is only a small one and does not imply any kind of suggestion about imposing obligations or anything like that.

Again, the details of how the situation came to be are not any mystery.

The end result, forget the chain of reasonable steps to get there, is in a sense silly, or perhaps remarkable, in the literal sense of simply "bears remarking", that one person is studying something like an archeologist assembling guesses and deductions from incomplete clues, while another person exists somewhere in the world who is physically alive and posesses the the answers natively that the other is guessing at.

No one said that it was a crime that demands action, and no one said anyone's individual actions, either the original developers or the "archeologists", are absurd.
> especially methamphetamine.

Why especially Meth and not Heroin or other opioids?
Ah... no? Firefox, before Quantum, was slower than Chrome, had worse battery life than Chrome, and (on a Mac) was way louder than Chrome. And by the time they mostly fixed these problems, there was basically no reason to use Firefox other than it wasn't Chrome - which, other than to a developer, is not a selling point to the masses.
This is awesome! It took me a moment to figure out the loop in addConsumer but it's neat.
