It's very concerning that Firefox, a major browser used by millions, relies on undocumented Apple APIs. While it's brilliant to discover this gem in kernel space to use it "in production" is a whole different story. I wonder if there are unknown system-wide negative consequences by using this new lock method.
A lot of them are also in places where the climate spends half the year trying to freeze you to death. I've always wondered if that's coincidental.

I could imagine it going a few different ways. Maybe every day when you wake up and have not frozen to death, you already feel accomplished, so start the day with a win. Or maybe there's a certain resilience already in people who would choose to continue to live in such a climate. Or maybe you just don't have much time to care much about your neighbors' negative qualities when there are homes to keep warm.

Maybe you can just afford to complain more about everything else when you don't have the weather as an easy (and unifying) adversary to complain about.
What’s wrong with qemu/kvm?
Interesting that Apple doesn't recommend using the technique the author describes but instead offers a worse option than the deprecated choice.
I personally thought Dragon Fist was one of the few games that makes you really feel like you're in the space. The only bad part is that few people have enough space to really play it properly and the movement button is so awkward to use. Also, it is one of the games with the highest danger of you punching the wall by accident, even with a conservative guardian boundary.

Caveat: I don't get VR sick and hate all of the clunky movement options you are stuck with in most games. Teleporting around is never not awkward.

I also enjoyed Down the Rabbit Hole, but I have to admit that it could have worked just as well on a regular screen.
It’s not necessarily moronic. If a tool can send email as you, it makes sense and is convenient for it to appear in your Sent label. And if you are using Gmail as your “system of record” it becomes a legal necessity.

Google itself uses gmail in both of the ways I mentioned.
My car has this feature but there is a sensitivity setting...high sensitivity and it behaves as you describes, orbon cloudy days the night mode comes on...low sensitivity and it takes a few minutes of darkness before it activates. It is even phased so that when it is a little dark the lights come on, then when it is even more dark the dash gets brighter, and then when it is definitely night time the nav screen changes.
I’m self taught, and I tend to think of flats because I tend to downtune. I think others choose the flat or sharp based on their desired key. That doesn’t help me describing a tuning if I’m playing out of the tuning’s assumed key! I have adopted one set of tunings which requires bringing the second string higher than the first, which I usually dedicate to a guitar with the strings swapped so I don’t break them all the time. (Adapted from very closely watching performances by Kelli Rudick if you’re curious.) I always describe the 2nd string tuning with sharps unless I have a good reason not to.

None of this is meant as advice, it’s just how I reason about using the instrument myself in ways it wasn’t necessarily intended.

Odd that you’re being downvoted. If the article had shown that Safari or the system allocator used this locking strategy then that would be evidence, otherwise the person you responded to is just making things up

Certainly YouTube isn't snappier than in Chrome at all. Most other sites feel the same or faster, however.
This is pretty handy, though my usual tuning method is to play a pure tone and match to that. Makes getting right there so much easier when you hear the warbling between guitar and tone stop.

Help I gained 1200 users and want valuable feedback
Hey all,

So I have an investing app that gained 1200+ users in the span of the last few weeks due to some TikTok videos. As the creator of the app, I love it and think it is really useful; however, I have been receiving mixed feedback.

About 65% of new reviews are 5-stars while the rest are 2-stars or 1-star. I want this app to actually be useful for people. What is the best way to get feedback from users? I would also love feedback from any of you with and iPhone and like to invest.
What about where the local shopkeeper spends it? Unless that money permanently carries around with it a "local only" bit, as soon as it is spent once, it's likely eventually getting sucked out to Amazon, Walmart or one of the world's other "wealth gravitational singularities".
In same vein some e-commerce sites and payment processors secretly distrust commercial email services and don't tell you that they've blacklisted your email provider.

You go to make a car or flight reservation, enter all kinds of info including your credit card, and then bam, it says "Oops, something went wrong, try again later". Or an e-commerce site asks you to enter your email and they'll send you a confirmation code, but the confirmation email never comes.

I've determined by experiment--using a different IP but a Gmail email address--that a frequent cause is a secret bias against commercial email services. It's particularly infuriating because I think a commercial email user with a paid account is a much lower fraud risk than a free Gmail user.
This is actually a real problem in population ethics.

> accidental auto-responder

This stuff can be dangerous. My son asked me a question in chat and my phone somehow auto-responded a "No" answer. I'm guessing I put my phone in my pocket without locking it. Luckily I caught it in time and as soon as that happened I disabled all auto-responding features.
> I was "destroying third spaces" in under-served neighborhoods

Whoever it was is free to create that space themselves and if they succeed long term great but they won’t have such a smug ideological point of view once they’ve had to struggle to make it work.
It's cool when people make an effort and help the community of users.

Doesn't matter if they are Microsoft PMs that got this prioritized or nerdy gamers that originally surfaced this issue, or sympathetic programmers that created the "fix" in this form (hey lets just change the default behavior of the memory allocator/de-allocator/whatever)

I'm sure this straight up would not happen at Apple, today, for example. Challenge for the audience to surface counterexamples!
They did fix it downstream. I remember maintaining a JS tool many years ago that was being embedded on client's websites, and before we added a bunch of hacks to make it not break with bad Mootools versions we did manage to convince some non-zero number of clients to fix their sites by updating it.
It's certainly not Noble Prize level.

The value of dropbox filesystem integration is huge (not a shill for DB). You can grep for stuff, do ordinary search, supply the files to any app that presents a file dialogue, etc.

Google drive files live in their own hermetic world. There is a desktop client but it doesn't reliably sync to the local filesystem; when it does most of the files aren't actually searchable so you have to do two searches if the file you want might be on google drive. So stupid.

Different accounts are hermitically walled off as opposed to the "different parts of the filesystem" way you can handle locally.

And even if you can somehow do everything inside the google drive, well stuff shared with you can't be part of your file organization like it could with dropbox or, you know, the filesystem. If someone shares a directory with you google drive still won't let you make it a favorite much less move it in with the rest of your files. No, it just keeps falling lower and lower in "shared with me" as other stuff is shared with you. Pathetic.
There are also a lot of Chrome extensions that do the same: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/multilogin/ijfggli...

Also keep in mind although Firefox containers is made by Mozilla it's a plugin that you have install, which was very counter intuitive when I first wanted to use it.

“Pro” really depends on what market you’re speaking to which is where your comparison falls apart.

Large, HDR and color accurate screen is very important to a lot of content creators for example, and coupled with the Apple Pencil+apps like procreate or shapr3d, there’s a significant number of professionals who make use of the hardware that the Pro offers that other tablets or devices in the iPad range cannot.

Yes the Air has the pencil but not the screen, while the regular iPad has the older pencil which is significantly behind the current gen.

This has not been my experience. Not only does filtering work, but in multi user documents it allows you to select user specific or document specific filters, so each user can filter separately.

It's not perfect, but most of the time it feels like magic.
throughout your "rant" as you call it, and your concerns and personal experiences, one theme stands out that you are very concerned and fixated about how all of this is making you feel. I would propose that likely the first step in understanding anti-racist practices and attitudes is learning to think about how others feel about their experiences. "dont be racist" is not really the core of the problem, it's "listen to other people and their experiences". because you can't really, on your own, determine how to "not be racist" without listening to what the victims of actual racism have to say.
I look at it the other way: with the title worded and capitalized as it is, the joke is so obvious that I just can't find it funny at all. Immediate eye-roll and downvote from me when I clicked on the comments and saw that the top comment (at the time, at least) was a joke.

Heh, I just reloaded the page, and it looks like that comment wasn't even a joke after all! The commenter did not read the article, but honestly believed it was about the alcoholic beverage, and has since updated the comment to reflect that.

This is the other thing about this, too: sometimes it's hard to distinguish a joke for someone actually just making a mistake.
I'll add to that that the breaking of stuff when people finally abandonned flash is exactly the sort of thing we want to avoid!
> No reasonable person would get one absent demonstrated benefit.

But if we insist on measuring demonstrated benefit by factoring in participation rates, then it’s a catch-22. What if given a prior distribution of 100% opt-in, colonoscopies are effective? And you ignored my question about what if we made colonoscopies more convenient, less intrusive and time consuming, which is becoming possible with new tech. These things can change the participation rate, which in turn can flip the outcome from little demonstrated benefit to high and conclusive demonstrated benefit.

> this study did the fairest possible test for effectiveness of colonoscopies

“Fair” is a subjective term, and it depends on what question you’re asking. I agree with your statement if the question is how effective is the current system of recommending colonoscopies. It’s not the fairest test of how effective a colonoscopy screen could be if everyone shows up for the screen. Colonoscopies might be not better than genetic tests because participation rates for genetic tests are higher, as opposed to colonoscopy screening being less effective on their own.

I understand your point that the total probability is important. But so is understanding the Bayesian factors, it’s equally enlightening and important to separate and understand the effectiveness of the screen given participation, from the likelihood of participation. And you effectively cemented how important this point is by clarifying that people use knowledge of these outcomes in order to choose whether or not to participate, so framing them incorrectly can and likely does lead to unnecessary loss of life.
It's a systems thinking concept.

It means an effect of an effect of an effect of the original thing. "X because Y because Z because original thing A."

Think like Five Whys and so on.

In this case it's shorthand for "not a direct outcome but most likely correlated"

You start working out regularly.

First order effect: you get healthier.

Second order effect: you feel more confident.

Third order effect: you start going out on the weekends more.

==I have to think its tiresome from their point of view to constantly be reminded that white people see them as other.==

It’s interesting how you read DEI and immediately think it only applies to black people. Have you actually asked a black person what they think about it? If so, what did they say? If not, maybe you should.

What are the DEI policies that you support from the Republican candidate? I’ve never heard of that type of one-issue voter.
You were robbed.
VRChat lets everyone use their own completely custom avatars. You build it in Unity (with ability to use custom 3d models, textures, arbitrary shaders, animations, toggles, OSC protocol support for controlling animations/toggles from external programs/hardware, etc). You upload your avatar to VRChat and then everyone can see you use it. (You don't have to tell everyone you want to see you as it to install your avatar manually from outside the game like how most game mods work.) You can optionally upload an avatar as public so that other people can use it too. People can also make their own worlds (environments) that anyone can visit (unless you mark it as private) that can include arbitrary assets, (sandboxed) level scripts, internet media players, etc. You can make a private instance of a world to visit with friends, or visit a public instance of a world to visit with anyone else who goes there too.

Whenever I get on VRChat with my friends, often a few people show off recent work they've done on their own avatar or worlds. I've uploaded worlds, visited the public instance of the world, and then bumped into tons of random people checking out my world. The game is so good for directly showing off work you've done and talking to other people about the stuff they've made.

Well that would not do at all. A business owner choosing to profit less so that his business could continue operating and his workers got a market wage? Get out of here with that crazy talk!

> DEI is very important for basically any organization that doesn't want to be known as a bunch of exclusionary jerks.

But the first principle this co-op claims to adhere to already denounces discrimination (including, but not limited to, race), recognizes fundamental human rights, and calls for open access to any person who wants to join[1]. They already can't be exclusionary jerks.

If there is some kind of belief that they are lying about standing by the first principle, what reason is there to believe they will adhere to the eight principle? The redundancy seems pointless.

The article specifically mentions black people.
" It’s a bit shocking that this is still an open question for the co-op movement, especially given that the national groups are just now starting to recognize the work done by African-Americans in co-ops throughout our country’s history."

"What are the DEI policies that you support from the Republican candidate? I’ve never heard of that type of one-issue voter."

I am a father to 2 white optimally straight (downvote me if you like but I would prefer my kids be straight, if they are not then I love them the same) boys. I find the school systems and corporate worlds constant focus on the rights of everyone except them tiresome and worrisome. I live in Florida so going to vote for Desantis. I don't like him at all but I respect his stance on this. I am going to vote for him based on this single issue.

Happy Birthday SerenityOS! And thank you very much to Andreas and the them behind it. You guys restored my faith in programming and for that I'll be forever grateful.
I think the day that Apple completely bans non-App Store apps is approaching very quickly. It became apparent when Mac OS started checking app signatures with a remote server a couple of OS releases ago and wouldn't let you open them in some cases even if you right click-opened. I wonder how many technical users will stay with Mac OS if Apple decided to go that route.
Wow, that's really neat. I have never heard of pigz before despite being an avid Ubuntu user for a long time. Also, I see it supports the "-11" level which is using the zopfli algorithm!

Nothing you said explains why retaining value of past work is a human right.

Most results of the productive output decay same way as apple does.

If you trade iPhone for a car, both car and iPhone will lose value over time. But in your world if you trade iPhone for $1000, only iPhone will lose value. That doesn't seem fair.

Furthermore, you're saying it harms most vulnerable, but I don't believe it is generally true.

If both a billionaire and a salaried working class person lose 10% of their wealth, gap between the two shrinks. Of course, laws of nature are such that rich are getting richer, but that's a different story.
I'm sorry I touched a nerve. :)

We already have a "working" Linux distribution for mobile devices: Android. But what projects like Pine and Librem are trying to do is build an alternative that is 100% open source (or as close as reasonably possible) and does not rely on proprietary, third-party services. If that's not important to you, that's fine, but don't dismiss the progress that's been made. Some of us actually care about this stuff. :)

I'm also not sure how Sailfish is relevant to this discussion at all while Android exists and is the dominant (non-iOS) mobile platform.
My teeth were always complimented by the dentist as being beautiful. This is despite plenty of juice, candy, snacks, no special diet, etc, outside of regular dental cleanings and making sure to spend proper time brushing each tooth. I’m 24.

The picture claims some massive increases, but I tried spot checking the data against BLS statistics[1][2][3] and found big inconsistencies.

For flour:

time period | tweet | PPI | CPI
-----------------+--------+-------+-------
jan'21 to jan'22 | 63.8% | 26.6% | 26.1%
jan'21 to jul'22 | 136.9% | 38.4% | 38.9%

For granulated sugar:

time period | tweet | PPI | CPI
-----------------+-------+------+-------
jan'21 to jan'22 | 2.5% | 2.9% | 5.6%
jan'21 to jul'22 | 34.6% | 6.2% | 15.5%

I'm not accusing them of lying necessarily, but we should probably suspect that their figures are skewed in some way that's not reflective of the whole country.

Didn't the COVID PPP loans get shoveled out indiscriminately to anyone who even remotely looked like they had a business, without any kind of means testing or assurance that it was actually going toward employee paychecks? Then, much of it simply got forgiven. So convenient. Funny how when it comes to providing welfare to needy individuals, we must strictly means check every dollar so that it doesn't accidentally go to someone undeserving... but when it comes to shoveling money over to businesses, suddenly means testing is impossible.
China Chip Stocks Drop as Biden Restricts Access to US Technology
I hear what you are saying but again, being "anti-racist" is not a concern of mine. I am not a racist and generally treat everyone I meet the same. I don't have any intention of making "Anti-racism" a part of my personality or understanding it because it is very low on my list of concerns. People are people. They get hired to do a job, I chat with them superficially about what they did during the weekend and that's it. Nothing else really matters. Heck for the most part everyone is just a white name on a black box on zoom now anyway.

"because you can't really, on your own, determine how to "not be racist"" I would argue that I very much can decide on my own. I don't need anyone telling me how to do it. Respectfully, the fact you think you do is a statement about you, not me.
