> If you publish a book as plain HTML scrolling becomes impossible, as any tiny movement will catapult you numerous pages forward.

This isn't true on any popular browser or platform. Single-page scrolling using the keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen is built-in for all common browsers and scrolling even extremely large documents has been fine for at least a decade – unless you load it up with tons of JavaScript even in the ranges of thousands of pages will be at least as snappy as a PDF.

> You can't bookmark a scroll position either and neither can you link it.

You can't, and also wouldn't want to since that's inherently unstable (e.g. I resize the window slightly and all of the links break). What you can do is what people have been doing since around 1993 and put anchors on logical sections, paragraphs, etc. so you have a linkable stable anchor which doesn't depend on the window or font size.

Well, how would you improve the docs? Both documentation entries seem reasonable to me.

That said, I don't see why the -Ofast option even needs to exist, except backwards compatibility, as -ffast-math and the others can (and should IMO) be specified explicitly.
I am a little surprised to see this. I'd imagine NASA would chose a CPU with an already proven track record (especially for something so wide ranging, the press release says it expected to be used for 'virtually every future space mission, from planetary exploration to lunar and Mars surface missions'. This is a new design from SiFive and there's not a huge amount of SiFive IP around yet to demonstrate how good (or otherwise) their verification is. Running into a hardware bug whilst your CPU is in space is not good.

Still good SiFive have convinced NASA otherwise, they must have a pretty strong verification story behind the scenes.
Unfortunately you are making this up. Whatabout-ism, while relevant for improving the regulatory body's process, does not affect the merits of an individual case. It's akin to complaining at a traffic stop: "but you didn't ticket the guy in front of me!"

That energy was for Europe for more important than these produce for Russia.

Unfortunately for us, out leaders are Muppets asleep at the wheel.

Facebook and Washington "entered into a stipulated judgment that covered Meta’s violations through November 30, 2018" in 2018 [1]. (It required Facebook "no longer 'accept ads that relate to Washington’s state or local elected officials, candidates, elections or ballot initiatives.'")

Not complying at all with requests from the AG, i.e. arguing they had no knowledge about the situation (versus that they misunderstood the rules), could thus be interpreted as willful violation of the judgement.

Because the entire point is to learn and not actually to ship a product, I wrote my own. The biggest libraries I use that I didn't write are HowlerJS for audio, PixiJS for graphics, and React for UI. The actual "game engine" is a very primitive one I wrote myself. You can see it here: https://github.com/ablakey/kestrel/blob/master/src/Engine.ts

One of the best things about NIH-ing my own engine is that I don't need to make it generic, meaning one less layer of abstraction to complicate implementation and debugging.
Nice that this is open-sourced, but would've been useful for clean up work to be done before that happened, e.g., non-standard directory layout (which they admit is a known mistake—so why was it released?).
That's a terrible argument as the thing to be reviewed (advertisement (not "everything")) is directly connected to a revenue stream and the level of time spent on reviews scales with the amount of income.

This blog post was really helpful. Thank you blamestross! My understanding of your concern: So long as there is a static WebTorrent tracker initiating the peer connections, the system can't be fully trusted. I agree with this, and I plan to counter this threat vector by enabling users to specify their WebTorrent pairing server and STUN/TURN relay servers. That way, concerned users can choose to self-host the relevant servers and effectively treat Chitchatter as a front end to those. Do you think that would address the concern you brought up?

Additionally, a core feature of Chitchatter is that all communication is ephemeral and not persisted to disk, ever. Even if peers are identified, there would be no record of what communication took place. Do you think that should sufficiently protect users?

> Mathematical proofs and computer programs are isomorphic

I've heard this multiple times and it always misses the point.

Isomorphisms exist whenever we focus on particular structural features of mathematical objects, to the exclusion of irrelevant characteristics. For example, all completions of "the" rational numbers are isomorphic with respect to the structure of ordered fields, be they equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences, Dedekind cuts or something else. But they're clearly not isomorphic as sets.

Similarly, all n-dimensional F-vector spaces, for fixed n and a field F, are isomorphic as vector spaces. That doesn't mean they're all the same - 4-dimensional vectors and 2x2 matrices are very different things, for example.

Mathematical proofs and computer programs are isomorphic from a very specific point of view, namely type theory (which doesn't even apply to dynamically typed languages). That doesn't translate into mathematics necessarily being useful for all other aspects that are important in computer programs, nor into computer programmers having a good understanding of how proofs work.
IMO it's easier and less work to outperform the indices with a combination of passively holding ETFs like VTI / VOO and strategic hedging based on quantitative leading indicators of economic trouble rather than trying to pick individual stocks. It's also more tax-efficient since you can continue to defer gains in the held ETFs while hedging with Section 1256 contract futures or options instead of constantly trading in and out of individual stocks and being hit with a lot of capital gains tax.

In my conversations with my higher-ups, they really believe that productivity is better in office. They often doubt the measured productivity improvements of WFH, and either believe that the metrics are inflated or that they are temporary, and as in-person connections fade then so will productivity.

There isn't some kind of conspiracy or hidden beliefs around real estate. That would be a massive prisoners' dilemma, where as soon as some companies "defected" the real estate prices would fall anyways.

Certainly we can debate whether they are right about whether WFH is better or worse. Certainly some of their feeling of "this is working" probably comes from their sense of having more direct control and visibility over people rather than real measure of productivity. However, I think they are being honest about their motives: They believe that in-person connections lead to better work output.
I meant "still use math" as a proxy for "still use formal languages to communicate".

on brave, you can make it completely remove the browser history on every start.

I agree, its a great feature of Firefox, the closet thing on chromium is multi profile windows

I think brave does this by default, not sure though.

> Can my ad-blocking not be nerfed?

Brave shields is based on ublock origin, and its a part of the browser, not limited by any extension API.

Im not sure you can say this is am advantage of Firefox after the many settings they removed.

They are definitely doing this again. They have become so risk-averse in their algorithm that they have to curate "random" videos to stimulate users' needs for novelty. This video "An Old Man's Advice" with an older balding guy in reading glasses with an enormous Santa beard in the thumbnail was a recent (~2 months ago) curated YouTube promoted vid. You probably recognize it. I realized it was being promoted when I noticed a bunch of people talking about it on Twitter a few days after it popped on my homepage.

Pap smears, be gone? Using menstrual blood to detect HPV
I agree. There are enough substantial features in Firefox that push it over the top for me.

For one, scrolling is just so much better than in any Chrome browsers, which I have noticed tend to drop frames and lag, regardless of the machine. Is it extreme? No, but for me, it is noticeable and Firefox just has that silky smooth scroll feeling.

Another big one is Manifest v3. I think Google may alienate a minority of their audience when it is implemented in January, and Firefox may see a bump in users. Having a kick-ass ad blocker like uBlock Origin work robustly will be a selling point for some people.

Another one I see people don't often mention is design. I may be in the minority of hardcore Firefox users, but I really have enjoyed the redesigns, and Firefox is still customizable enough for me to feel some joy using it.

Overall, Mozilla is definitely mismanaging and leadership needs to be turned over, but the browser is still in a good spot. If things turn around, I could see it becoming more and more popular.

A swing to the Right will often cause a swing to the Left. In Florida, registered Republicans lead Democrats by less than one percentage point as of August 2022, and there are more than 10M women in Florida, half the population, and only 4.5M senior citizens, less than a quarter of the population. It is my optimistic belief that DeSantis' days in politics are numbered, mostly due to his association with a certain mentally ill and criminally-inclined one-termer president, but also because his "semi-fascism" isn't really working for him either. The Republican playbook is to prevent (usually minority-member) Democrats from voting by any means necessary, but this just can't keep working successfully forever.
