Plug-in hybrids have two power trains you need to service. They are an excellent gateway drug to full EVs, but not the ultimate solution.

They're also pretty good for special use vehicles, a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is pretty much the best EV-ish vehicle if you need to tow a bigger load for long distances without shelling out 100k€+. And you can still drive on full electric around the town cheaply.
Plenty of anime, jpop, and kpop songs translated and sung by fans in English. They do a great job of making the lyrics fit, rhyme, and feel like an English song.

I've actually been kind of shocked how good they are given how poor many professional subtitle translation are. Like recently watching Cyberpunk 2077 and the English subtitles are not remotely close to the Japanese dialog

After seeing the responses to my original post I wish I had used different terms. I did not mean "meeting God" literally, but used it more as a metaphor for "meeting your maker": coming to terms with universal human problems like mortality, our relations to our friends and family, the nature of good and evil, things of that nature. "Meeting God" I thought would sum all this up poetically, but you can always count on HN to take things literally!

Putting the disclaimer is still harmless. GP took some liberties with fixing grammar and wording in addition to formatting, on text from an obvious ESL speaker. Of course, OP's post is plenty comprehensible grammatically for a competent english-speaker, despite the minor syntax issues here and there.

As a bilingual non-western national, I find the disclaimer respectful and appreciate it! FWIW, I would not have been offended per se, but would have been mildly annoyed without it.

Firefox will follow Chrome with this. Over time they always tend to copy Chrome instead of going their own way, as much as their users complain. They similarly already moved away from XUL extensions in the past. I'm sure they will write a heart-breaking story about how supporting Manifest v3 extensions and removing WebRequest blocking is critical for safety and privacy on the web.
The distinction is clearly not relevant for NSO, but for most other people it still is.
There's too much information today. Makes it difficult to focus. We have social media, email, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Hackernews, Reddit, etc.
We say that our brains are too distracted. In fact, that all is over-stimulation of neurons.

In the past, when we had no Internet, or when the resources for studying were scarce, we would intently stare at the screen, trying to understand what the program does. You'd have to disassemble and debug the program and even try to explain it to your cat, dog or a rubber duck. These days programmers are often not even familiar with the term "rubber duck debugging". We would study and read actual RFCs; programming wasn't "fish for that stuff on Stackoverflow or Google" kind of thing.

We used to let our brains wonder. Thinking about past and present. That allowed us to generate awesome, great ideas.

Today we have tons of tools and techniques that seem to be vastly better than the tools we had in the sixties, eighties, and nineties. But if you compare that with how much computational power, memory and storage capacity have expanded since then, and compare with how we utilize that power, somehow it feels like our applications are getting worse, not better.

It's nearly impossible today to perform any programming without the Internet. And that's why programming today is much more difficult than in the past. There's too much information. Too many ways to succeed, and even more to fail.
> Firefox has never even held 10% browser share

That's very inaccurate. Firefox held a ~30% market share way back in ancient times (~2009), which decreased to around ~10% through to ~2018.

The substantial drop from ~10% to it's current position only happened in the last few years.

Animation of the browser market share over time, if that helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es9DNe0l0Qo
The problem here is that not all people driving there will need to rapid charge from zero to 100% percent.

It's perfectly enough to have rows of 22kW three phase chargers there, during a 2 hour(?) ballgame you get a good 100km of range - enough to take you back home or at least to the nearest rapid charger if you need one.

Or you could have rows of 100kW+ chargers with smart load balancing. The CCS connector tells the charger how much battery is left in the car so the load balancer can prioritize cars with less charge dynamically.
> To be clear, this is not just a case of me being old and uncool.

Doubt.
The benefits exist if you treat the user like an absolute buffoon that can't handle installing extensions. If you really wanted to, just put a massive warning screen before installing extensions that require dangerous permissions.

I'm sure the future without MV2 will have users launching .exe files to mod Chrome which is much much worse (similar to what's going on with Discord and other Electron app mods).

> Firefox has never even held 10% browser share

Firefox held 32% market share in 2010.

It rose because Internet Explorer sucked and us technical folks made our relatives switch along with ourselves.

Same story with Chrome: pre-Quantum, Firefox was getting pretty slow and Chrome was the new, fast kid on the block, so we changed browsers and dragged the tech-illiterate along.

It's time for this to happen again. The Chromium monopoly is bad for the open web, and now that Google has consolidated power, they're using it to push ads.

It's time we switch back to the only viable, truly open source alternative and drag all our acquaintances along.
Eat well, work out, try and be reasonably active day to day, don't smoke, don't drink much, gets lots of sleep, drink lots of water.

That's it.
I understand the line of thinking, but if you are doing "git reset --hard" you are saying "put the working tree (e.g. files) back the way they are in latest commit".

So if there were no files or they were empty? Well, that's what you get.

Git is tricky and has a complex and oft panned command-line UI. This is not surprising either, widely known. I like it and get along with it fine; not everybody does.

But certainly you should not be running commands like `git reset` or `rm -fr <anything>` unless you really know what you are doing.

Surprising behavior is interesting if it's based on a good working knowledge of git and still a surprise. Being surprised that a keg of gunpowder blows up when set afire, but you just did not expect it to actually do that, is not as interesting.
> We will see when Russia's "partial" mobilization is complete. We'll see when Russia continues to escalate their use of weaponry.

This is literally all Russia has.
It's totally fair to say, "wait, this person busted ass and bought in, having come from nothing. Maybe they shouldn't have to pay more." But also, the neighborhood has benefited, and that's reflected in better schools, better amenities, etc. Maybe we should find ways to ensure those better off areas help lift up the less fortunate ones.

Regarding your second point, that you belong to X, so you are the enemy. I agree. Except on economic class. For context, I made roughly $850k last year, and my taxes were paltry. It is because of people in my economic class and above they we have a lot of the problems we do.

If you make a million a year, you can absolutely afford to give more.

(I do this by spending my money on mutual aid projects, bail funds, debt relief, community owned housing, forest conservation, etc. I put about $350k into community projects that had little to no direct benefit for me. I say this only to deal with the inevitable, "why don't you put your money where your mouth is" comments I receive when I say we wealthy folks should be taxed much more.)
Still not comparable. Session cookie requires a session datastore server side. It then requires to enable sticky session, to replicate the session between the server or to have a distributed datastore. if user information are cached it will require either a local cache or a distributed cache.

JWT token does not require that.

What the current TeslaBot can or cannot do is not the point I was making, I was merely responding to you assertion about the transformative potential of humanoid robots.

Humanoid is an advantage because all of our existing infrastructure is geared towards humans – hands with five fingers / two legs / etc. Again, that means a high-functioning humanoid robot could start doing shitty manual labor people don't want to do overnight.

This is obvious in a factory because you don't need to retrofit your entire factory, but even more obvious in a context like a home, where there are loads of small activities it would be nice to automate (gardening/washing/cleaning/etc) that would each require its own robot if you don't have a humanoid one, at which point... doesn't it make more sense to just have the one humanoid robot?

Semi-related piece of trivia, since I've been thinking about Monkey Island recently. Monkey Island 5, "Tales of Monkey Island," was released for a bunch of platforms, the most restrictive of which was the Nintendo Wii, which required downloadable games to be no bigger than 40 megabytes.

The team wanted to add a fight scene in a bar that, try as they might, always put them over the 40 megabyte limit on the Wii build. Eventually they gave up and made it an exclusive club that you weren't allowed to go in and had the fight happen off camera. They named the bar "Club 41."
Is Microsoft edge going to implement Manifest V3. I found it to have same features as chrome but better privacy.
I would happily use Firefox, however it lacks good developer tools - it's almost impossible to identify JS memory leaks using the FF dev tools.

I also find FF more resource hungry than Chrome (and Chrome is pretty heavy on resources too).

If they start by making the dev tools better than Chrome's, I know I'd switch, or at least start running it in parallel.
Well, I tried a new HDMI topology and that didn't improve things. I tried intentionally mis-configuring the TV to break ARC but still have CEC power and volume control of my sound bar, but the sound bar still defaults to ARC on power up rather than SPDIF.

I've given up on ARC completely in my setup. The Nvidia Shield remote can control sound bar volume via IR. I just successfully watched a full movie without any drop outs. Also, I may be imagining it, but the Shield feels more responsive. It seems like it must be the TV's fault. Don't buy a Sony I guess.
If you live in the USA, pick a good health insurance plan. Don't trade Medicare for a managed care plan if you can avoid it.

Find a good MD to be your primary care provider.

If you lose confidence in your MD, find another one. Until that happens, don't try to be smarter than your doctors (you will probably have several before too long), and do what your doctors say. Let all your doctors know that you trust them, follow their advice, and respect and rely on them.

Find a good dentist and give them the same treatment that you give your MD.

Do balancing exercises -- broken bones reduce your mobility and vitality; they are often the cause of a downward spiral in health. Don't shun using a cane, walking stick, or walker when there is any chance you might fall, but scrupulously avoid riding around on one of those damned electric carts if you are lucky enough to be able to walk, however slowly.

Have friends and enjoy life.

Exercise as much as you can; eat as little health-damaging food as you can; get 8 hours good sleep every night if you can.

But... what different is it than installing software? And "big scary warning" is what one of things Windows UAC brought you. It helps some folks, but otherwise it is "just push OK".

I like how Android/iOS handles - I can approve/reject specific permission upon request and only grant it while using app/this time only.

The setup.

My first language was GW-BASIC on an IBM compatible. Turn on the machine, type GWbasic and hit enter. You get the IDE, the editor and everything else in a single shot. Zero barrier. You could write decent programs in it and gave you that ongoing sense of achievement. Nowadays, you have a long series of things to do (clone a template, setup your editor/environment, download this and that etc.) just to get started.

Ethics is for individuals to ponder about in relation to what they intend to do. There is no need for a tool's documentation to dissert over it.

Huh? Actual discrimination and hate and violence are also active and ongoing. That was my point. You can’t forgive someone for transgressions they’re determined to continue. I can forgive people for something that happened to me 25 years ago because it’s in the past. That’s the relevance of my story. I can’t forgive people who are going to do the same to me tomorrow. And no one forgiving them while they still pursue that aggression is going to “end” anything other than their own dignity or their own lives.
