But of course, a 32KB RAM minimum would be too much for some legacy systems. Still, Java is actually far more flexible than most people would think.

(Also, at its heart the JVM is just a Forth-like stack based interpreter, and I would guess that loading and parsing a .class file is more complicated than the interpreter itself!)
Brave is fine enough I guess but something about their business model feels slightly skeevy. I'm also skeptical they can afford to keep Manifest v2 support going in their fork. I know nothing about the chromium code base but such a large divergence is going to have ongoing costs.

Not to shill for Firefox but I haven't had issues with it and don't plan on switching anytime soon. Plus no other browser has tree-style tabs.
You can do either. Out of all Chromium-based browsers, Brave seems to be the only open-source, the most secure and transparent browser with a lot of development capacity.

I currently only use Brave and Firefox on all my devices. Never liked the BAT crap Brave has built-in, but you can disable it and move on.
> Sabbath

Some context for the fun of it. Sabbath is the 7th day of rest that the God of Genesis took -- yes even God found rest to at least be good (if not needed). He also prescribed for the jewish people of the Old testament seven sacred feasts, which could be multiday if not weeklong festivities and breaks from work. Then there was the Sabbatical you mentioned -- One year off in 7 to rest the land and labor. Furthermore there was "Jubilee" -- a special sabbatical year every 7th sabbatical that went even further :)

Seems like ancient people (if not God) deeply understood the need for rest!
The problem is people are not rational… and we try to solve that with software.

Many people just lock up when software doesn’t do what they expect.
I call it ”the healing power of apathy".

It sounds funny and weird, but benign neglect is sometimes an appropriate response.
I've tried this myself but it's not as easy. Some sites blocks the scrolling while the cookie dialog is shown and when you just remove the dialog, the scrolling remains disabled. If they add touch start event listener as anonymous function I'm not sure if it can even be disabled. I couldn't make it work on 9gag mobile site so I just clicked the accept button but that's beyond simple css filter.
Doesn't Brave block 3rd party cookies? What's the point of the banner? My cookie knowledge is entirely based on enterprise and small server-side web apps, but I assumed that 3rd party cookies were evil and allowed facebook\facebag's of the world to track people covertly. And not every webapp is going to use JSON web tokens so the ability to use first-party tokens is sort of a requirement for auth and session management
> Need to get in touch with Bill? Just stroll over to his desk.

Sorry to be flippant, but to me this is one of the worst parts of office life summed up in one statement. The bar for other people to carelessly interrupt you can be unbelievably low sometimes.
> If the options are democracy and being invaded by Russia vs diplomacy and some other form of government? Sure, jettison democracy.

Other form? Like becoming a vassal state for a failing petro-autocracy a la Belarus? Why would you ever do this if you can stand your ground and fight? Being invaded isn't as bad as conceding and experiencing ethnic cleansings.

> backed by a really, really angry population.

Once someone like Putin or Hitler captures power it doesn't matter if population is angry or lukewarm. Resources will be mobilised, propaganda will be ramped up. What matters is functioning economy and industry as they are what provides means to wage war. And hopefully this war will put an end to Russia's ability to wage war for a very long time.
I rather like Firefox at the moment. Is there a good way to also block cookie banners on Firefox? How does it compare to what Brave is doing?
Like it or not, RMS changed the world. In my opinion to the better.
My main gripe with working from the office was:

1. The daily commute, especially commuting with a large amount of people at the same time
2. Having to live in a city I don't want to live in with ridiculous rent
3. Having to be in the office when I don't need to be there and do busywork that was more tiring than real work

I think Hybrid is a decent model for most and very natural. I also think there's more space for satellite offices at major cities and interval-based offsites or informal work trips and syncs.
Been rocking Firefox as my daily driver for several years now. I don't understand why someone would not switch to Firefox at this point, unless there's just a really strong personal preference or niche feature.

Despite Mozilla's organizational woes, Firefox remains the one true "free as in free speech" browsers out there that has remained competitive. I'm of the opinion that we need Firefox to keep the Web open.
> The last place I worked had 25,000 people on its main campus. Three gyms, three coffee shops, four cafeterias and more square footage than the pentagon.

I interviewed at a place like this, with all the in-site amenities. They were particularly proud of offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day to the staff. As I finished my last round of interviews, it became obvious that they offered this because they expected everyone to be there for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day.

I did not accept the offer, and I have no regrets.

If it is that simple, the why doesn't the code fix it itself? But no, usually there is 1/2/3 likely things, but it also could be anything else.. and that kind if unexpected errors even often have no default-fix.

No, the most best thing is to point to the documentation which has that, and not printig out manpages of docs in error messages now.

> I write software that is generally run low in the stack

What stack, how low? Me too.. that low that I usually cannot return or even log a " see error code doc at http.." string for various reasons (bandwidth, mem, performance) but only have error codes ;)

The points in question:

> Commit to meaningful transparency of platform algorithms so we know how and what content is being amplified, to whom, and the associated impact.

> Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation.

Yep. With PDF Expert on an iPad, you can instantly see a thumbnail view of your pages, as well as swipe the page slider through 600 pages with a thumbnail being shown for each of those as you swipe.

This does get slower for some pathological PDFs, which is why an even faster CPU would help.
> People who advocate WFH have similarly varied motivations, but none of their motivations require other people to change their behaviour.

Of course it does. Some people who WFH will want things like no mixed meetings - either everyone is in the same room, or everyone is entering the meeting from their own computer - there's an example in this very thread. And even if you don't go that far, there are various smaller ways everyone must adapt their behavior to properly support hybrid work modes, just like WFO-only or WFH-only.
It really depends on the person. For me, I was already remote before covid. I realized commutes really impacted my performance on the job. When I did work from the office, there were nice snacks and parties and chances to socialize and I do miss that. However, I'm not young anymore and now my life is focused around my family. The benefits of being able to spend more time with my kids at home, and to live further from a big city are worth their weight in gold. If i miss out on a joke or two, or dont go out to thai food with co workers, oh well. I have a lot of friends and social engagements outside of work, the social side of the office isnt necessary.

One of the secrets to a relatively easy teenager is to be very active in spending time with them, and especially listen to your children when they are younger. Hear the fanciful stories and their young adventures and treat them with dignity and respect. They will reciprocate when they are older.

Parents who models ignoring them when small will teach them they shouldn't listen. That comes home to roost when they are older and become assertive of their place in the world.

Another is to carve out family time every single day. They will get wrapped up with friends and other things. You want family bonds that are stronger than ties with ephemeral friends, and that takes serious investment. We always have family dinner and discussions every night, with only very rare exceptions allowed.
I think both curiosity and studiousness can exist together. The vice of curiosity has led me down many new, exciting paths of learning that have changed my life and career in marvelous ways. When you say..

> prudent allocation of attention to what you should

How do we even define "what" outside of a basic moral context? "What" is a constant moving target throughout life, something extremely personal that's based on our experiences and knowledge.

I say stay curious.
The app also works great on iPad btw. I think ableton missed advertising for it since there’s now iOS and iPadOS.
uBlock already does this, but sometimes this leads to an annoying side effect. Some sites put "overflow=hidden" on the main element to get rid of scroll bars while showing a modal cookie consent dialog. If you only block the consent dialog you'll see a normal page but you can't scroll or consent, so you have to open the page inspector and start editing.
People's perception's of others is an interesting subject. Let's take this snippet as an example:

> "Even so, these people of the Power Elite were visibly much smarter than average mortals. In conversation they spoke quickly, sensibly, and by and large intelligently. When talk turned to deep and difficult topics, they understood faster, made fewer mistakes, were readier to adopt others' suggestions."

First, there's the issue of inherent bias to deal with. When one is entering a gathering of 'the power elite', one will tend to expect brilliance (if that's were one's biases lie, at least) and that will color one's perception of what's actually being said.

Putting that aside, if one sees an exceptional 15-min presentation at a power elite gathering, is that just some kind of natural phenomenon? Did that person just pop out of the womb spouting clear, well-organized thoughts to the world? No - it's a skill developed through practice.

This is really one of the most irritating things to encounter, the assumption that a person's skills are somehow innate and not the result of hours of hard work and concentrated effort. In almost all cases, an unprepared, unpracticed talk or presentation is a disaster, and the decision to 'wing it' is always a bad one. Similarly, someone who powers through difficult math and science courses in college is not 'naturally intelligent' - no, they're the ones who spend four hours a night solving problems and reading, while missing out on the fun social party scene.

So when people say "oh, you're just naturally gifted, and I can't keep up with you because of that", the best response is, "are you sure it's just not because your a bit lazy and not willing to put in the required hours of effort?"

[edit] P.S. for a nice short sci-fi send-up of 'power elite' worship, I recommend "Ironclads" by Adrian Tchaikovsky:

Try coworking spaces?

I'm 50/50 type of person, I want to be left alone when I need to concentrate, but I need someone to chat with once in a while. The best job I've ever had had flexible schedule, I could clock in and out at any time or not come in at all, just had to let the team know about my plans. But the best part of that job was that I could walk to the office. 0.5h walk is so different from 0.5h sitting in a car that I wouldn't even call it commuting, it's just hanging out in the city on my way to work. It was the best and cheapest way to improve my mental well being each day.
Consent banners are definitively not required by the GDPR. Consent is only required for non-essential collection of user data, or for non-essential processing of user data. For example, Strava would not need consent to collect user GPS location, as that is core to the product that Strava provides to users. Hacker News would require consent to collect user GPS location, as user GPS location is not essential for posting links/comments. In addition, because consent is specific to a use of data and not to the collection of data, Strava would require additional consent in order to use that GPS data for advertising.

The GDPR doesn't require consent pop-ups. Companies choose to add consent pop-ups when they exceed the minimum amount of personal data collection.

NL has something called DAFT that I'm actually looking into myself (born in Pennsylvania):

I've really only explored Amsterdam since Americans don't get a lot of vacation, but out of the EU capitols I visited it was the nicest. (Berlin is overrated, do not move to Berlin.)

The other option is Italy, if you have any Italian grandparents:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_nationality_law#Attrib...

It's my understanding if you "become Italian" you can live and work throughout the EU, though it's not clear how long that would be the case since the "Five Star Movement" keeps fucking things up there[1] - they have some good ideas but are also Eurosceptic and split things in a bad way with their ~15%.

Once you become Italian, maybe move to Italy? Apparently not many people do. If you do your business on the internet maybe you can set up some solar panels, buy some internet, and then... do business?

(Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer. Happy spooky season!!)

It's still nowhere close to how good Google's reverse image search was several years back. Ever since they handicapped that, there just hasn't been as good of a way to do reverse image searches. I've tried on searching for images I know are on the internet, running them through Google, TinEye, Bing, Yandex, to no avail.

It seems like a lot of the focus has moved from "find this exact image" to "find similar images," like you give it a picture of a Husky and it'll find more pictures of Huskies.
It's so simple: the browser should expose a user configuration setting, which can be used by any website to automatically answer whatever question the consent banner thinks it needs to ask. At the highest level, three settings: Ignore, Reject all, Accept all. More fine-grained settings could be standardized (conceivably), although I would be surprised if many people cared to use them.
> as a website owner I have a legal requirement to get consent

only because you're asking for something that is not necessary.

besides, you could assume no consent and let the user change the setting autonomously.

It's called opt-in.

Nobody asked you to display a giant popup asking for users' consent.
1. It is absolutely not too late, very slightly higher risk for autism and a higher risk for your wife, but very possible.

2. There is adoption and fostering, it’s seriously important

3. I’d unpack this with your wife and a therapist and not HN. Kids don’t fix what is broken, they amplify it. Further, if things aren't right, you’re not only screwed up but you can screw them up. ‘Expectation’ is kind of a dirty word for marriages and families, if you’ve made choices and expected things to be different you have to be open to the idea that your expectations weren’t yours to have, there are other people involved and you love them and want them to be what they are and not your idea or fantasy of what they should be. If the idea of it having kids was to live a certain way (travel, have money, etc..) Understand that kids are a never ending life of service, but it feels good.
> Generally, the stance of the WFH crowd is that each individual should get a choice of what makes that individual happy.

I partially disagree. Such hybrid situations often end up being office-first, meaning that WFH folks have a harder time i.e. participating in meetings.

That said, if the company is remote-first but also has offices, then that is optimal, should make everybody comfortable, and allows everybody to pick their choice.
Sounds to me like your work wasn't just your work, but also your hobby and your social life. I do think you genuinely enjoyed that, probably even living close to what you considered your 'life'. You didn't need to 'invest' anything, you love it and would probably aspire to do it if you had to pay for it ((before you roll your eyes, there are many, many rich kids playing startup with their parents money or trust funds). Been there done that, as ave many in our early years, even though for me it wasn't startups but research, a hunger for knowledge.

But not everybody likes these lifestyle choices. And most people have 'jobs' by necessity, to make 'a living' not just for themselves, but also their family and relatives. Unlike a hobby or play, this involves doing things under constraints they do not like and can't afford to just run away from.

This does not mean they must be obviously any less good or effective at their job. I've had strict 9-5'ers that were 10x'ers, and no-life office rats that loved the place but had near 0 net contribution. I does mean that they consider a significant, if not the most part of their 'life' to be outside of 'work' or 'the office'. That 'life' was always momentously impacted by 'the office' thing, even far beyond the dreaded commute unless you sacrificed your desired living place for 'living near the office'. Anything that otherwise takes a few minutes, taken a delivery, having maintenance done, getting the kids from school and fed, was made impossible by you being physically not near.

Technological roll-outs made remote possible. The pandemic drove widespread adoption. People discovered that 'the office' was no longer a necessary evil you just had to accept. After the pandemic, not just were they not keen to return, but they started to discover that they gained so much more social options thanks to non work time having significantly boosted. (ditching a 2 hour commute does nearly double your daily free time).

So it is very natural for this to be a very sensitive topic for most. If you truly want to work on 'fixing those things instead of making them bearable', compete on a level playing field and create an office people would pay for to work at, not force them through other means.

One last point: Your 'office' will not protect you from being de-localized. Even before tele-work, the offices used to move to the lower wages whenever they could. Your skill differentiation will have to be what saves you.
By the way, where is innovation in Google Search? I just saw news of one person who built search inside CD-ROMs of the 90s all by themselves. Why doesn’t Google do that with search and integrate it somehow?

Google Search has abandoned any pretense of finding new areas of search.

My daughter is now 11 years old and... well it does get "better" in some senses, but the constant work remains. There are plenty of fun moments sure, but now that she is a "tween" new challenges have arisen.

The happiest people I know are those who had kids very early in life, and managed to maintain their careers despite this. Their adult children no longer demand so much work, yet the parents still have the benefit of their company and the satisfaction of watching them develop independently.

Freed from the constant effort of parenting, these people can now return to the DINK lifestyle.
Care to clarify who is mistreating who exactly and how, and who in your opinion benefits from this in the end?

To go back, someone commented that boys are consciously graded lower, to which I wrote that conscious bias is the only way to correct for previous unconscious bias. Now you talk about teachers not seeing persons in students and mistreatment. I lost track of what point you are making and how it relates to anything. Are you still commenting on TFA and grading bias or venting your beef with quality of teaching and education system as a whole? If the latter then by all means join the club

1) Dark Mode please

2) Toggleable websites; I saw that the websites I was seeing were black-circles in the panel below the search box. I instinctively tried to click on youtube to not see youtube box. It would also be nice to have a global panel where users can choose if they never want to see a certain website.

But these^ are just me being super picky. Overall, a great UX.

Hacker News, ditto.
I hate these banners. Often times, they pop up in a non-obvious location and cause the entire page to freeze - scrolling doesn't work, links and buttons don't work. I have force quit my browser on more than one occasion because I couldn't figure out there was a cookie banner on the screen.
