Bitcoin is great for the climate.

It currently uses .1% of global energy, instead of all the worlds energy as predicted in 2017. It makes use of stranded energy, off peak energy stabilizing grid production, incentivizes green energy build outs, and with the landfill methane caputure business will soon be the only digital asset that is carbon negative.

What have you heard? That it is a climate disaster and you should stay away?
Can you please describe a theoretical attack on your privacy by Mozilla learning that your IP address launched a Firefox instance?
I live around Baltimore and this is kind of a problem as well. Dirt bikes are explicitly illegal but groups of young men with modded bikes ride around the city terrorizing people and the cops seemingly do nothing. They're very obviously doing it for attention because they go into crowded areas, rev their engines for a bit until they know everyone is looking at them, and then pop wheelies or shoot off fast or do other stunts.

This would be very obnoxious but otherwise harmless except that in some areas they will drive on sidewalks, weave into other lanes, all kinds of stupid shit... Makes me really fucking mad to see it.
I use FF Android every day, including watching videos, and haven't noticed the "unstable garbage pile". Are you being hyperbolic?
Yes I’ve learned I thrive when I’m surrounded by hood support and people that truly “see” how I contribute and how I can get better at my super power. I don’t do well when I’m seen as a burden or problem, and “why can’t you just be X”.
fun fact: you can teach your shell to ignore commands that begin with a space character. in bash $HISTCONTROL needs to be ignorespace or ignoreboth, in zsh you must setopt HIST_IGNORE_SPACE
It feels like a scare tactic. They're picking on the ever decrepit Facebook to warn the others they aren't untouchable.
Thanks for the advice. I figured it would be something like that but thought this is probably the best chance I have to take a stab at it.
Hah, this is spot on. It's like groundhog day every week and interesting to watch in real time. I've been mostly tuned out for years now. People say to me all the time, "Have you heard of <insert outrage for the week here>?!" I usually reply with a "No" which results in a regurgitative and passionate explanation.

I just don't understand the phenomenon of people moving from one day/week to the next, with a social media influencer or MSM feeding them the next thing to care about. I would be more dismissive of it, but when it starts spilling over into real life; workplaces, road rage, etc. - it is detrimental to society. At what point do people see this for what it is and wake up?

This is extremely subjective.

Personally the fact that the US regulators aren't wasting time monitoring gif repo purchases is a good thing in my book.

> Someone has to reign in oligopolies amassing even more power and dominance

Quite a hyperbole for a gif repo purchase. Can FB purchase Tenor then? Who could purchase Giphy, any other social media giant?

This is all virtue signaling because they know certain people will eat it up.

Ukraine says it was a false flag operation:

>I've tried to fit myself into what she needs like a square peg in a round hole. I have a very different vision for my role, and a specific understanding of how my strengths contribute to our team.

It happens and it's not necessarily anyone's fault. A new manager comes in with different views of what work needs to be done and what doesn't. For whatever reason maybe transferring internally is hard right now for whatever reason or maybe there just aren't other roles internally that excit you.

(What I have seen though is managers who come in, make changes in roles, and really try to hang onto headcount even if some of that headcount is people they wouldn't have hired. That's on them.)

Depending on a lot of factors maybe it makes sense to hang on for a while. But, at the end of the day, if you're in a job you don't really care for and don't really have the background for--especially if you're supposedly very senior--that's just not a stable or good situation.
Russia has a history of blowing up their own infrastructure for political purposes, such as 2009 [1] or 2006 [2], not to mention simple shoddy workmanship or neglected maintenance (1995 [3][4]).

> censoring stories due to operating with very limited press freedom, and misleading readers about who owns, funds, and authors stories for the site

So does this mean you're going to deprioritize The Hill for firing Katie Halper because she wanted to do a story calling the Israel/Palestine regime apartheid?

Or the Washington Post owned by Bezos who is paid untold fortunes by the US intelligence apparatus, and whose reporter listed her news agency as "Amazon" on a sign in sheet to interview Assange?

Do you consider RT (a huge Russian news network) misleading about who "owns, funds, and authors its stories"?

I'm sorry, but I don't think you "accidentally made a bad tweet" -- you tried to publicly jump on the Ukraine bandwagon for cheap political points, it backfired, and you've been backpedaling ever since.
Firecracker trades run-time performance in favor of faster boot-time latency. It is something that is being addressed but afaik still exists. This of course doesn't mean anything if you want firecracker to boot a multi-gig JVM installation (the larger the filesystem generally, expect a longer boot time).

Security wise there are some minor differences. For instance bhyve supports virtio-rng but firecracker doesn't want to: https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/issues/16... .

I think if your app requires fast boot time and your app supports that than it's fine (so services that spin up and down on demand) but apps that daemonize for extended periods of time or take forever to initialize probably not a great fit.
This will often be a small company/large company divide.

If you started at a small company, you'll be used to doing all sorts of things "outside of your job description" (usually below) like restocking toilet paper, etc, simply because there is nobody else to do it.

If you started at a large company, you'll likely be used to "you cannot whatsoever move your computer to the other side of your cubicle without contacting building management" and other such things - stepping outside your job description could get you yelled at or even officially reprimanded.
I'd love to be able to use Chromium/Chrome/anything Blink-based but the lack of Tree Style Tab makes it unbearable every time I try it.

This one extension is the only reason I'm still using Firefox... And the profiler sometimes works better than Chromium's as well, but seldom I use it.

It's quite rational because of the crucial importance of reputation internationally, and the image of competence domestically.
the secret sauce here is that "ports collection/packages collection" aka anything useful beyond service NAT gateway/network router is not a system!

from the docs:

> FreeBSD is bundled with a rich collection of system tools as part of the base system. In addition, FreeBSD provides two complementary technologies for installing third-party software: the FreeBSD Ports Collection, for installing from source, and packages, for installing from pre-built binaries.

Thus, when FreeBSD guys say "my system is solid" - means he can use ping/top/csh. But if update breaks say Firefox - it's not part of the system and haha, system is stable!

Ad hominem and invincible ignorance. Who says what never matters, it is what is said that is the province of valid argument. I have made no unsupported assertions regarding the truth values of fallacious responses to my initial argument, only identified these responses as specific fallacies to justify not responding. Thus, I have not made any appeal to fallacy, leaving the accusation(s) of such as straw man arguments. I would be more than happy to entertain valid argument, but none have been made in this thread in response to my OP in preference to attempts to humiliate, ostracize and bully me. Any scrutiny whatsoever of me is fallacious argument.
Another upside is that if you use a less-common language, there is _not_ a library or package for everything just yet... so sometimes, that creates the opportunity to work on open source at your day job!

Some people will say that this is a downside, because you can't build new things or ship new features as quickly… But I suppose that it comes down to what you want to get out of your career, and what your goals are.

If you are careful and diligent, you can find a way to get paid to solve problems within the domain of your interests. It might take a few years of study on your own time, but I pulled it off; and if I can pull it off, that means that just about anybody can!

Plus, learning new stuff is fun, and I would not have spent the time that I did learning the things that I have learned, if I didn't feel like it was worth it for its own sake.
This just is one of many examples which show that designing great User Interfaces is (still) more of an art than science, e.g. rigid math based design systems tend to fail in practice.

Burden of proof is not on the user. Burden is on Mozilla (and any browser vendor with telemetry ON by default) to prove that:

1) They are not misusing collected information in any way

2) They need it so badly that telemetry is ON by default, without the explicit consent of the user

Both of these are simply addressed by having no telemetry by default and all browser telemetry being completely opt-in.

Given that IP address is legally considered private information and Mozilla claims that Firefox is privacy respecting, becoming a zero-telemetry browser by default should be a no-brainer move to substantiate that claim, othwerise it is just empty words that further detoriate the trust in Mozilla.

It should also be noted that every browser with telemetry ON by default (which is almost every mainstream browser) is also directly or indirectly monetized by ad-tech, which does not help their case at all.
Errorbars, probably. 80% and 100% might be samples of a true death rate of 90%.
I hardly blame the users though. If you actually have a certain amount of 2FA methods, the order in which they want to be migrated is often contradicting. So for some of them what you should do (according to docs): Unlink 2FA, migrate phone, link 2FA. For others you can spend an hour searching their docs and there's nothing - and then you find out that you should set up 2FA on the new phone and then somehow recover. It's aggravating, really. Then there are some where you just hope for the best because no docs exist at all.
If the libs are called Barracuda and Seagull you'll have to spend years telling people "although you have heard of Barracuda, the lib you want to use now is Seagull", I don't see that as very different. People don't make library choices based on the name only, they search for what is recommended online and look at examples/features/etc.

I do concede that all else being equal people will gravitate towards the more "official" sounding library, but if all else's equal, it's not really an issue.
As much as I like PG's writing in general, this is him dipping his toes in waters that are already well studied and coming off as ignorant and/or presumptuous.

His very first premise "The truths of mathematics would be the same, because they're true by definition" shows an ignorance of an entire field of discourse called the philosophy of mathematics. Whether aliens would have the same math as us is one of the fundamental questions, and to presume the answer shows a disdain of the existing body of thought on this topic.

In particular, we humans still hotly debate which math is the "right" math. Is the axiom of choice "true"? Does it make sense to say that it has a truth value? Is such a truth value amenable to human discovery? Does PG know the answers to all of these questions?

PG is either unaware of the human-choice nature of the fundaments of math or he thinks he has special knowledge of it. Either way makes this essay one of my least favorites.
A friend and I managed to run a PS3 cluster mining bitcoins in one of the labs on campus for pretty much the entire 2009 academic year. But I think that was before mining rigs became much of a nuisance.
This is super cool but do folks really need their google and GitHub 2FA codes often enough to justify this? Browser sessions are pretty durable it seems. The one thing I could think of is GitHub admin type actions that prompt for a credential to enter “sudo” mode or whatever they call it. However in that case they’ll take your password as well (or a webauthn key in my case)
This simple equation will change your life:

I think there are cases where borrow checking is difficult for a domain, but without a lot more detail it's hard to say. My understanding is that graphics/gamedev is one of those cases and if you aren't willing to use ECS you may have problems.
Time drift is the clients responsibility. You’re letting perfect be the enemy of good - very few people use fully offline devices for years at a time, and if you’re not a bank, even something like a 2-5 minute diff is tolerable.

> I had a 1x1 with him and clearly let him know that he was the boss and I'd do my best to accomplish anything he assigned me.

Never understood this attitude. I'd have told him that what he was doing was very inappropriate (without buy-in from the team), and if he doesn't back off I'll quit. He can ask around for other opinions so it's not just coming from me but it's a hard line.

Of course this mostly works cause as a developer you don't need to be afraid of finding another job. But that's good. Workers having leverage over bosses is good.

Generally speaking, making major changes in our character/passions/work etc just to please someone is not sustainable, this is true in both personal and work lives. I am facing something similar, but from a family member.

In my previous job, I was asked to do QA work. I have never done QA work before - I don't mind doing it, but I didn't want to do only front end (color, pixel etc) QA work. Needless to day, it didn't work out for me and for my manager.

The best thing to do in such scenarios is to just leave, if that is an option. Especially in professional situations. I have had a lot of jobs in my life - some good, some bad, some super bad. The only thing that was common in ALL these jobs was this - nobody gave a fuck about anyone else, beyond using them to get stuff done. Yes, most people are polite and nice - that doesn't mean they care about you or anyone else. This is not bitterness speaking, this is just the reality. So the best thing to do, is just leave and find a better job
> you can't just take 20 lines of completely stolen code, modify a few things, and call it your own.

Now I hope that Copilot sticks around for this exact reason: cause endless inane lawsuits claiming that actual original code was stolen and laundered through Copilot or reverse engineers going cowboy. Make it enough of a problem clogging the courts that they start dropping copyright cases.
Yeah it’s a complex shift but all the indicators I’ve seen at a population level show upticks in markers associated with increased sedentary behaviors.

Some people definitely went the other way and took up more healthful activities but the dominant shift seems to have been toward less physical activity.

I personally wonder if the “long covid cognitive effects” aren’t down to things like less exercise, more social isolation and too much screen time, especially as people keep looking for explanations for effects on children.

It’s not like it all went away when the pandemic officially ended either. People can be slow to change.
One thing that puzzles me - there are thousands of satellites 24/7, CIA has their own, NSA has their own, Navy, Air Force and so on. And all other neighbors around that incident site should be monitoring everything possible. On a very strategically important pipeline for whole continent.

Yet nobody saw anything, there are no past records going few hours back of some ship sailing to those spots? I mean US can spot very shallow speed boats of cocaine smugglers for a long time, so they use submarines from what I gathered.

One explanation would be that submarine, but - if I would be doing marine defense, I would be pinging / doing some other equivalent of radar checks very frequently. But maybe this is really difficult to do due ie shape of sea bottom, reach of such pings, animal protections, just pure costs etc.
Maybe "communicating with your boss" is a skill folks need to be taught.

That's not how the math works though. The people who are dead brought the average down because they died at a younger age. The only way to compensate for that would be if those left alive live longer than average. There is no reason to expect that to happen.
