While I don’t have insight into the ban of this particular member, I can’t fail to notice a growing list of people leaving Mozilla sometimes abruptly, without a lot of explanations and where relations with management seems to play a significant role. Graydon Hoare comes to mind. I also remember the interaction between the community and the fenix team feeling frankly tense if not hostile.

Has something been happening at Mozilla for the past few years or am I paranoid?
fined a whooping two dollars for every person in the leak.
yep. that's going to teach them.
Isn't it inefficient for both mom & dad to take their parental leave at the same time? Wouldn't it be better to alternate like 8 months + 2/4 months so that atleast one person is available for basically a full year? Rather than both having to go back to work in 6 months.
Don't relay on any MUA outside owns Google ones. Gmail is making changes to IMAP standard.
I think that, concerning paid users, what they would be interested in would just be daily/weekly/monthly paying users. As for minutes watched they'd be incentivized to reduce it as far as it is possible while still retaining a paying user. After all, they don't show more ads if a paying user watches more minutes of video. At least not yet.
This has already happened. Pinch-to-zoom became a subject of controversy in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial because of a fear that it could introduce false details.
I actually, for real, have a slide deck about starting an empire. I did it as a joke for my friends, it's formatted and phrased as a startup pitch deck, but an invasion is required for one of the milestones. So you never know!
Yes, I believe what language implementation would want to do is to use the lowest-level API that’s supported and stable. On Linux, that happens to be syscalls, on BSD and macOS, that’s libc, and on Windows, that’s the so-called “Win32” API (kernel32.dll and such).
one of the most cringe things I'll see in "high performance" code is ad hoc syscalls in the middle of loops and such. it should be much more obvious imo in environments like python notebooks that these less scalable operations are happening
On September 2, 2022, Japan's MIC (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) issued a "provincial order on correcting the implementation rules of the radio wave law" (Order No. 59 of the Ministry of education for four years), which updated the technical requirements of the 5925 ~ 6425 MHz band of Wi-Fi 6E band 5. The next day (September 3), Japanese DSP agency publish the characteristic test method of "6GHz band Low Power Data Communication System", providing a test method for Japanese Wi-Fi 6E certification. Since then, Japan has opened its Wi-Fi 6E certification application.

I really like the image editing he did. Thank you for posting this. Made my day.
Facebook cares so little about scam content I'd regard them as actively complicit in the scams by this stage. Reported a scam as blatant as a Nigerian Prince (crypto product with "guaranteed income" of thousands per week which is "recommended by Martin Lewis" who actually took legal action against them over fake recommendations, according to a fake news website which rips off BBC News web design) to them and the feedback widget later informed me it had been reviewed and found to not be violating their scam policy. And yes, I got more of that type of website in my feed due to "engagement", which I suppose at least wastes advertiser dollars...
what do most people use for a generic graph / tree library in rust?
Got a trust score of 100 for an IP address that's assigned to me through Latvijas Mobilais Telefons (LMT).

I guess that's perhaps one of the "benefits" of sitting behind CGNAT (from what I can tell), where nobody can host their own stuff and thus various sites (good or bad) hosted on residential connections and other interesting use cases aren't a thing.

It still doesn't feel too good to need cloud VPSes that act as proxies just so I can expose some sites from my homelab (e.g. a Nextcloud instance of D&D session recordings and other game details), even though for whatever reason it's still cheaper than asking the ISP for static IP addresses (e.g. a ~5 euro/month VPS).

That said, all of my VPS IP addresses (which I've had assigned to my servers for a few years) routinely scored 15-25 and landed in the "High risk" trust scores, even though they have 0 threats showing up. Guess running my own VPN to tunnel my connection through them might not be the best idea, if I wanted to do that in the future?
Please don't recommend django, its a dumpster fire in terms of code quality.

Opening random file on github: django.core.serializers.python https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/core/seria...

- function name doesn't match pep8
- name doesn't match its behavior
- docstring is trying to explain what it does instead of proper function name, see 2
- 60 line for cycle
- what does d mean in for d in object_list? perhaps d as an object/instance/item? Good luck remembering that when you reach end of this for 60 lines later
- using comments instead of functions
- Handle M2M relations could be replaced with handle_m2m_relations(...)
- Handle FK fields could be replaced with handle_fk_fields(...)
- and so on ..
- using/catching generic exceptions
- using isinstance instead of proper polymorphism
- **options

And I've seen way worse things inside django than this. Please don't recommend django. Please
Any new open-source search option is good, but I also wish more attention was given to prior open projects like GigaBlast[0]/KBlast[1] crawlers, etc.

It hasn't escaped the wider world that quality open-source search is desirable, and it's hard to think what this new EU project brings to the table that isn't already available if others want to contribute to existing efforts. I wish the EU project the best of luck of course!

No it's not. And it's one of the reasons I will be weeping when Chromium shits the bed with this MV3 migration.
The idea that you can't be great at very different things isn't confined to software engineering. I think it's because most people can only master one thing so they can't imagine other people working differently

Right. But you could avoid this whole BFF malarkey by having a team that owned and released the BE and FE themselves.
> Can't search for songs in my library. I can go to a playlist and search for a song, or I can go to search, choose "my library" and search for an artist, album or playlist, but not a song. Makes it difficult to go "I want to listen to that obscure cover of All Along The Watchtower I have in one of my playlists somewhere"

Yes you can. Selecting My Library and putting the song will have the song show up and you can filter the results via the segmented-ish menu directly under the search bar.

> No easy way to listen to a playlist on shuffle, starting from a specific song. You can search the playlist, but that limits you to shuffling the search results. You can scroll through your playlist until you find what you are looking for, but that is not easy.

You select the song and enable shuffle. This will persist until you turn shuffle off.

> When creating a playlist, there are no "suggested songs"

Continuous mode should feel this niche but maybe not.

> It is very difficult to listen to 1 song. Often I just want to listen to that song and nothing else.

I listen to one song all the time by searching it putting it on repeat, or turning off continuous mode. This doesn’t work on playlist though.
I’ve worked with the most brilliant guy who was tremendously autistic (lives at home with parents at 30)
He was a specialist. He couldn’t understand the big things but boy could he do the small things.

This very much held him back and he even said ‘treat me like a robot as I can’t put together complexities’

So, generally speaking, we are generalists. Your job my force you down a specialism and I have seen many many miserable (well paid) SAP HR consultants
Reminds me of the quote "every happy family is the same, but every unhappy family is unhappy in their own way".

Also, kitchen nightmares, they can only get in the show if their restaurant is nearly going under. At the start, they'd listen to his advice and go with the changes. But after the show ends, they'd change back and then go under.
With all the blocks in place, is it ever possible to know whether the 90% is still an innate effect of Tor, or actually an effect of sites blocking Tor?

I have Tor installed, figured it would be worth adding my boring browsing to the mix sometimes, but since most sites I try to load block Tor exits, Tor browser now sits unused.

On the other hand, if I woke up tomorrow deciding to start a bot farm or whatever other malicious thing, or course I'd be interested in hiding through Tor and might try it again (don't worry, I won't wake up that way).

So even if a hypothetical 100% of global internet users really wanted to do all their browsing through Tor, they might all reach the same conclusion as me that too many sites are blocked and therefore leave Tor to mostly bad traffic. Of course it's nowhere near 100%, but hopefully you see my point that the sites blocking Tor IPs (and I absolutely appreciate why) can become a self-fulfilling prophecy - and I'm not sure how you'd get out of that loop?
What I’m not clear on is whether quantum computing can be best advanced through $billions of VC money competing for hypothetical future profit, or whether it is still a scientific research project which would benefit from a smaller, more focused and less hype-driven approach.

A lot of what we see reported as progress is academic or quasi-academic papers. Google has the cash to not care too much if its research never turns a profit. Those who are investing may see it as a long-term moonshot or hedge, without any great expectations of imminent profit. The bottleneck may be the number of scientists with good ideas, rather than the amount of cash available.
I think this could be avoided by using some simple-stupid metric for measuring the difference between the compressed and uncompressed images and rejecting the compressed one if it's too different.

Maybe something like dividing the image into small squares, computing the L2 difference between original and compressed. If any square has too large L2 difference then compression failed. Th metric might need to be informed by the domain.

Edit: Or maybe PSNR+SSIM?
Why do academics have to get their own grants?
Apparently you cared enough about it to start watching it after reading the title. A video with "Rust" and "Tokio" in the title will probably be unwatchable if it has a like to dislike ratio of 1 to 3, even if the title signals you that you want to see that video. But since there no longer exists this ratio, you'll have to watch it partially only to notice that it is bad. And then dislike it (and then have this dislike action have no effect whatsoever in future recommendations, apparently).

I absolutely hate it that they removed the dislike counter, it was so valuable.
For the record, I wasn't approving of the situation, just describing
No, if you're paying attention, what I'm saying is there is no financial incentive to learn Rust, it's not going to help land you a job. You won't learn it in college, you won't learn it at work. So if you know Rust it's because you enjoy your craft enough to invest your own time in learning it just because you're curious about it. So given no other data points, I can guess that the Rust programmer is better than the C++ programmer and be right more often than not. That's not a radical statement, it's pretty intuitive when you think about it. It's not specific to Rust either. I can say the same of any esoteric language. When I see languages like that on a resume, that's a positive signal, even when hiring for C++.
I see people say "graphql" a lot in this thread.

There are a number of downsides to graphql that arise from its overly generic (and yet, at the same time, not generic enough) nature. No HTTP caching of graphql requests is one. Very deeply nested payloads is another. Difficulty of expressing complex query logic through parameters. Inability to natively represent structures such as trees of unknown depth. Special efforts spent on preventing arbitrarily deep/complex queries. And so on.

A BFF does not have any of these problems. It can be made as closely tailored to a particular frontend as possible. It does not need to concern itself with a generic use case.
All of these games are outliers and extreme cases. The idea that the games with the highest development costs would likely have involved people who were overpaid seems unsurprising. The fact that the first game in that list I clicked on brought me to an article saying that one developer (reportedly) was hugely overpaid was just convenient.
> What happens when X actually improves? Then the whole reason for your existence evapourates.

Sounds like the developers would consider it a win-win situation.

It’s a shame most distros are still rocking emacs 27 and not including libgccjit makes installing 28+ a pain on windows.
You have dynamic imports too if you need IoC.
Nope, never watched any of the conspiracy videos.
I did however watch quite a few of MrBallens videos, specifically all the cave/diving ones, they are just great stories.
The point is I'm not going to compare against small libs with no ecosystem, slow maintenance, small community and low amount of developers ready to use it - these new libs sound nice but it's beta software, not something to be used in production for apps like I work on. Speed is important but not this important.

What remains is React, Angular and Vue - and out of these React wins by a huge margin, also thanks to async rendering.

I'm looking forward having another look at the remaining libs in a few years.
You underestimate how wasteful suburban life is. If you have 2,000 people in a square kilometer all burning tens of kW of petrol in their cars and running multi kW AC systems in their homes and their office as well as pools, giant LED billboards and whatever else it starts to give sunlight a run for its money.
I cannot speak to how well the law is written, but the effect it has, although annoying, is not an indication of it being a bad one.

If a website wants to track a user and sell that data to a couple of hundred data brokers, having to let people know, is in my opinion a good thing. That they go about making that a shitty experience is on them.
Class instances are objects and it's the objects that have state. Functions can only abuse themselves as objects to store state.

function johnson() { johnson.state = {}; }

This is however shared state and the state will be reset whenever the function is called a second time. So what you normally do with a function is to pass the state via arguments and now the same function can work with different states. React could totally do this via props or as a second argument.

function Johnson(props, state) {}

Instead they changed the laws of functions so that a function can act different the first time it is called and also be called the first time multiple times if and when the function calls a functions that looks like JavaScript but follow different rules [1].

This is weird.

The section on relaxation should be triggering any software engineer's "overcomplicated" alarm. Forget static vs dynamic linking; it is insane that in 2022 we are using linkers at all. They are an ugly hack to make a kind of incremental compilation work for C and related languages.

Relaxation basically means having the linker redo a bunch of work the assembler otherwise would have done. Having them separate is then counterproductive.

Lie how? Meta indexes can be picky about the sites they list, simple as that. One could imagine personal meta search engines which only list the sites you care about. Bad sites simply don't get listed.
It's an interesting article about tech. I don't care about the author's crazy political views but enjoyed the article.

Please don't ban something because of an unrelated aspect of the author.
Why is it downvoted? Half of it is Trump Derangement Syndrome, people are tired.
It's complicated.

Brave was founded by Brendan Eich, long-time Mozilla developer, long-time Mozilla CTO, briefly Mozilla CEO.

Brendan Eich also happened to be an anti-gay-marriage activist and donator (afaik, only his spare time, not at work) and California law says that if you donate more than [some sum of money], you must specify your employer. So, suddenly, a few days after Brendan Eich was nominated CEO, someone on Twitter published the records of Brendan Eich's donation, phrasing it as "Mozilla is donating against gay rights", or something like that. A shitstorm started, including death threats against Mozilla employees, a highly hypocritical PR campaign by OKCupid (whose CEO was member of the same political circles as Brendan Eich) to boycott Mozilla, etc. Brendan Eich was convinced to resign from Mozilla after about two weeks of this.

That's probably what GP calls "banned from Mozilla".

Of course, after this, US Conservatives rephrased this into "Mozilla is persecuting Christians", so the death threats continued, just from the other side.

I feel like a lot of people now have data breach fatigue. Every day there’s a new story about X company suffering a data leak. It has become so common that I think a lot of people are tuned out and desensitised to these stories.

Ultimately I don’t see this having a long term impact on customer growth.

The biggest impact to Revolut will likely come from the enormous fine they’ll likely face from the regulators.
Actually generating x-rays is easy. Every dentist office has a "high-luminosity" x-ray generator

But x-rays are too short-wave for EUV. Maybe they have considered some form of down-conversion from x-rays for EUV but at those wavelengths it's not very trivial.
Facts and hyper are not entangled; they are conjugate.

You can use `gpo import FILENAME|URL` to import an OPML on the command line, or `gpo export FILENAME` to export and OPML on the command line. The "import" command doesn't delete any subscriptions, you can use `gpo list` to get a list of current subscriptions and `gpo unsubscribe URL` to remove a subscription.

The `gpo` command-line utility can do most of the tasks of the GUI that you want to automate.

No, the small cheap Jetson Nano could always handle 1080p30 x4 without any problem. But maybe their wording is just misleading "1080p30 on 1-2 CPU cores".

The Xavier NX was 20x 1080p30.
I agree in principle - but you need a centralised government to punish them.
You could in theory have third party auditing and user reviews but almost nobody would care and they wouldn't have much power.

In practice I'd prefer a world without government and with companies tracking me over a government that steals half of my income and protect me from "evil" trackers.

Same thing with abortion. Of course wasting a human life is a tragedy, but it's hard to imagine economic model where you can guarantee the life of a foetus nobody knows much about, without needing a centralised entity. (you could in theory have protection agencies - as in The Machinery of Freedom - which guarantee your safety have you sign a contract saying you won't do that or else - but that would be hard to enforce).

Definitely true for Europe. I pretty much live in hotels and so far 100% of my bookings where either cheaper (usually) or the same price (rarely) on the hotel's own webste vs aggregators.

Regardless of my "genious discount level 9000" or "save up 10 nights and get 1 free" and all the other "discounts" that you actually paid for indirectly on aggregators.

The only place where this didn't hold true for me so far was a hotel in Indonesia, where the price quoted at the hotel desk in person was higher than a certain aggregator. The people at the front desk suggested I'd book online and I did :)

Google invests at least one order of magnitude more money in Chrome than Mozilla can afford to invest in Firefox. Google has attracted many Firefox developers, both employees and external contributors. Chrome has reduced the browser share of Firefox to a few meager percent. All of this is bad for morale (and finances), it's as simple as that.

Also, the failure of Firefox OS and Mozilla Connected Devices didn't help, nor did a few rounds of layoffs,
