> If an app has multiple windows, contain them within the main app window.

This advice is actually rarely followed by apps regardless of whether they are on Windows or Mac. Consider Microsoft Word; if you open two Word documents, does Microsoft Word open two windows or does it open one main app window and then contain both documents in a single window? Are you aware of this Microsoft concept called MDI?

It sounds like you were used to iOS where each app has but one window and you'd prefer that to be the case on desktop operating systems like Mac or Windows. There's nothing with preferring that, but it's against decades of desktop computing tradition.

Oh the conspiracy theories that would cause.
I don't think the hate is directed towards Firefox, but rather Mozilla. I know I lost faith in Mozilla when they posted a blog entry a couple years ago to detail reasons behind their restructuring and what their renewed focus is, and made it seem like Firefox was an afterthought [1].

Choice quote:

>Mozilla exists so the internet can help the world collectively meet the range of challenges a moment like this presents. Firefox is a part of this. *But we know we also need to go beyond the browser to give people new products and technologies that both excite them and represent their interests.* (emphasis mine)

What other products? The entire organizational focus should be centered on Firefox so that it can meaningfully compete with Chrome, as Firefox is the only truly open alternative to Safari/Chrome.

A little below that, they list their new 5 areas to focus on and ... no mention of Firefox there.

AsciiDoctor is a second implementation that doesn't even fully compatibly implement the original specification. The original AsciiDoc is pretty well-specified, and it's mostly the plaintext markup of stuff that was intended to go to DocBook, with very little surprises from that.

AsciiDoctor pretty much focused on a direct HTML translation and ignored the inconvenient parts. (Some of the inconvenient parts are deprecated syntax that while AsciiDoc's had a replacement for, I've written the old style for ~20 years and when GitHub tries to render a document with AsciiDoctor, oops; sometimes I'll change the document, sometimes I'll decide rendering on GitHub isn't important.)
> One of the weaknesses of the City Hub currently is that it requires a tethered Bluetooth device, such as a phone, tablet or computer, in order to function. By flashing the custom Pybricks firmware to the hub, we can overcome this limitation and write programs directly to the device.

This is why I come to Hacker News
… Firefox on my work macOS is presently has an emblem on the hamburger menu, and if you open the menu: "Update available — restart now". I've been delaying for days? weeks? at this point.

Clicking it causes the browser to disappear for ~20 seconds, +10s for the UI to become available.
Waaay at the bottom:

Note: Logging in with a device is currently only available on the Bitwarden cloud server (https://vault.bitwarden.com).

And even there, I followed all the directions and don't have the 'Log in with device' button. Waste of time.
It seems this is because the company has broadly shifted focus to softer social issues rather than technical topics. Mozilla keeps struggling with market share and users are anguished to see that their (former) favorite browser is investing resources in topics they find to be a distraction.

At least that is my interpretation. Mozilla is not addressing the same audience any longer, a lot of which is technically-minded folk on HN, Reddit, /g/, etc.

> My 6 year old roblox account got banned 18 days ago because I made a game and a free model in the game had a script hidden from the owner that showed hentai on the screen.

Roblox Studio has a toolbox of free community models. Malicious scripts are hidden in models. Kids import free models in their games and get banned for malicious scripts.
ya know, if the FTX group really had no internal controls or documentation that binds the directors to specific behaviors, then an embezzlement charge could really be ruled out, same with other forms of theft, or securities fraud even. in this case, even the assets being traded precluded them from needing compliance officers which is one of those areas where "need regulation" would fit well.

It's really more like a phishing attack to get people to voluntarily wire money to the Alameda bank account presented on the website's interface, and they did.

The US-based cloud providers also have European subsidiaries. But that doesn't help because they are bound by US law. That is the root of the problem.

What makes you think that a European company operating within US jurisdiction would not be subject to the same laws?

If the European company receives a request from the US authorities for information, they need to follow the same legislation as the US companies do. Just because it's a subsidiary won't help. The authority will say "we want to know everything you know about the following person, please give us the information, otherwise...". The authority will not distinguish whether it is a subsidiary or the parent company.

Of course have the choice to just ignore the request from US authorities, but then you have to be aware of the consequences, i.e. quickly give up and shut down the subsidiary and stop trading with US dollars.

This is the root of the problem. CLOUD act has been ruled illegal in the EU just as you said, but it is also illegal not to comply with CLOUD act in the US. And companies operating on both continents in practice need to comply with both laws, regardless of whether it is a parent company or a subsidiary.

At least that's how I interpret it...
Yeah that stuck out to me as the most objectionable thing at first glance too. Otherwise it looks reasonably sane. I currently use AsciiDoc and it's ok but this looks slightly better I would say.

Both are clearly better than RST.
welcome to the club

My advice:

* hire a professional to have a good look at costs: you'll be "amazed" on how much $$ are wasted: a 15 days contract is more then enough: you can even tell him/her: we pay you exactly the amount of $$ you make us save in a month... I think plenty of professionals will agree on that contract without even have a pre look at your AWS bill hahaha (I would!)

I did it recently on my customer bill: more then 45% of pure waste!

some examples:

* Loki/DynamoDB: uhhh, scary: the defaults for hosting in AWS imply more then 500$ per months https://github.com/grafana/loki/issues/2801 (so be aware of 'experiments' or quick installations)

* EFS (aka NFS): you pay by space... and.. .there is no limits! we had a backup that was not rotating and wasted (aka paid!) for almost 1Tera (this could not happend in the past for a warning 'disk full' coming from your sysadmin)

* volumes nobody removes (and useless volumes that proliferates when you have autoscaling on)

* Cloudwatch metrics that starts to be cheap then become pretty expensive (be aware that metrics of EC2 instances stays, so you pay for it, for 1 year even if instances are terminated!)

* esperiment in AWS kinesis by an intern left there (with a drain of $$)

Please note, aws gives you plenty of notices and documentations on everything, there are no trick from their side at all: the problem is the whole "cloud" and pay per use payment structure that made a revolution on who is checking the usage (so the bill), and orgs are just not prepared.

You all will agree AWS has all the metrics to see how customers just waste $$$: they of course cannot understand if the data in EFS is useless or not, but on the majority of services they sure can... and I think they also have clear statistics that tell them the $$ that they are making just by having users not taking care: and this amount I think is soooo huge that they can even afford to tell you (in the 'trusted adviser'... that, btw, you only have with the highest cost of support)

I hope your post will push users to be more conscious on how they spend their money

A final word to all non US customers of AWS: are you aware of the huge amount your country is just giving away?

EU wake up!

What exactly does "Linux desktop experience" mean. For example, what distribution and what version of Linux for the RPi was used in the test.

Even though I had no plans to run Linux on the original Model B, I saved the "NOOBS" SD card that came with it. It contained presumably "known-to-work" versions of Arch, RaspBMC, Pidora, OpenELEC, RISC and Raspbian. I knew that those offerings would probably balloon in size, or some might possibly disappear, as the RPi project progressed.1 It was early days for the RPi and I was not sure I would be able to easily access those old versions going forward. It is wonderful see one can still conveniently get them (kudos to RPi Foundation):

https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/NOOBS/images/

Based on past experience with computers and software, I concluded that years later the most recent versions of these OS for the RPi would not run smoothly on an old Model B. To be truthful, I still have not tried. Maybe I am wrong, but it sounds like running, e.g., the latest Raspbian on an old Model B would not be a pleasant experience.

Being someone who prefers "terminal mode" over the alternatives, I have always used NetBSD. It was perhaps the first BSD to boot the RPi. It was certainly the first BSD, perhaps the first OS for the RPi, to come with sshd pre-configured so that one could use the RPi "headless" without the need for a serial cable.

Most importantly, AFAIK, NetBSD was the only OS for the RPi that, by default, allowed the SD card to be removed after boot. I recall reading so many comments about SD card wear-and-tear but I have never run the RPi with an SD card mounted R/W. Normally I only use the SD card slot for booting and run the computer with the slot empty.

1. Original NOOBs was 1.1GB. Latest NOOBS is 2.7GB.
For what it's worth, some of the spying can be disabled with O&O's ShutUp10 [1] One needs to run it after each windows update and it will show you what if anything under its purview has changed. Disabling some telemetry can make the desktop a little snappier as it is not phoning home every time an application is launched.

There are also a bunch of PowerShell scripts on github that do the same things but some of them change risky options that can break things so I will not link to those.

Which is also based entirely on their market dominance. I'm 100% convinced Google continues handing millions of dollars a year to Mozilla so Google can point at Firefox as competition when the regulators come knocking.
Yes, the code is treated no differently from any other language. A human has to confirm changes which will impact others.

The key is to act quickly when presented with a plan. It's advised to decline stale pending approvals and kick off a new pipeline for freshness.

There's no magic unfortunately :(
Based on what? I’m close with a few higher levels at different strategy consulting firms, and most of their work at these firms we’ve talked about has been serious: how to respond to a firm you’ve heard of receiving backlash over a botched vaccine, balancing a pivot in their product line with their existing customer base, etc

Problems that will screw you royally (speaking of the firm here) if you get them wrong, so you bring in outside perspective that can pattern match your problem to real world examples (and get in the room with others who’ve navigated a similar problem) to make sure you take the best trajectory.

At worst, consulting is exactly what you say. Large firms, being so large, cover the gamut in their services (and so surely get some exposure to these more flippant projects). The bread and butter of consulting though is solving real problems.

From here, this perspective you have about consulting looks a lot like the mindset some people have around VC: “they just come in to pump companies and dump them in the public market / make an exit before the music stops and everyone realizes it’s bullshit”. Of course there’s some of that in VC, but by and large it’s legitimate and serious work, focused on legitimate outcomes, and done all around by genuine people looking to do a good job - all while creating real value for everyone involved.
I still think it's the world's most impressive party trick.

It turns out if you build a model that can predict what word comes next after a sequence of previous words, then train it on TBs (PBs?) of data, you get something that really does appear to be "intelligent". And which is absurdly useful, to boot!

Until you trip it up, and the illusion shatters.
The US uses miles, they’re not just imperial. Maybe you needed to tell it not to use imperial units or US units.

What does anything in this thread have to do with "corporate power?" It's the cops who put these people in jail and you have exactly the same power as Hertz to file false police reports.
> Based only my viewings, it seems there are a lot of Russians scared that America will take over Russia and that they have to win the war.

Well, if I was talking with one of those Russians, I wonder how they think the 2 pathways would pan out. If Putin hadn't invaded, I think NATO would've left Putin/Russia alone and be satisfied with the status quo (with Putin supplying cheap energy to Europe, who cares if he's a corrupt jackass in his own country).

Now that invasion has happened and no time machines, what would a Putin victory look like? Even if he conquers Ukraine, the sanctions won't stop, i.e. even if the Ukranians laid down their arms, that would just end the shooting war but not the economic one.

Meanwhile, what would defeat look like? Even if Russia laid down their arms and left Ukraine, the economic sanctions won't stop either, until..? A Putin regime change? NATO wouldn't be satisfied if he just got a puppet to replace him. Meanwhile for the average Russian, Putin not being in power would be like what this article portrays - separatist conflicts; or Russia being under Western (or Chinese?) control.

So I can see why they'd prefer a NATO surrender rather than a Putin surrender...
I think for the same reason that nobody is as critical of the Star Wars movies as the most die-hard Star Wars fan, or the same reason that nobody hates anybody as much as ex-spouses hate each other after a marriage gone wrong.

Today I built the SSO flow for an application at work, and I learned a lot significantly faster than I could by just searching because it was guided. The generated code had issues, but it felt a lot like rustlings [1]. At many points I felt that my solution and approach was akin to doing gradient descent, with ChatGPT giving me the direction and me doing backtracking to avoid overshooting (glossing what it missed).

Nobody stupid enough to honestly miss an $8B blackhole is smart enough to run such disciplined interviews.

I'm surprised anyone is fooled by the fact he just happens to remember only the facts that point to the least criminal explanation.

What's the chance of that?

He's either coming clean about how he's not a smart as they said he was, or he's still playing the game. It's another double down.
Hume uses the example of the sun rising: though the sun has (so far) always risen in the east, there is no logical reason to assume that it will _necessarily_ do the same tomorrow tomorrow. Though we can reasonably plan for this as the most likely scenario based on available evidence, it is not _necessarily_ going to happen.

There is, likewise, no logically necessary reason to assume that that causal process of metabolism will continue to work tomorrow as it always has in the past, though it is indeed reasonable to prepare for that outcome as the most likely outcome.

Before 2003-ish Amazon used to have a static "gonefishing" page on www.amazon.com that was manually triggered during outages. Due to newspaper reporters writing scripts that would detect the GF pages they were removed and the site was allowed to just spew 500s for whatever segment of critical pages was busted.
>but a huge part of their advantage was not paying their taxes. They settled with the IRS for 7 billion dollars.

And that 7B is past taxes, interest, and penalties. They returned 66% annualized before fees and 39% after fees over a 30 year span, 1988 to 2018. Renaissance also has grown to over $130B.

It also was not tied to many of their funds - it was only from (if I recall) a single fund. The others are not under IRS investigation (AFAIK)

So the 7B is no where near enough of a cheat to allow this kind of return. You can view the 7B as evidence that the fun returned incredible returns to investors, so much so, that missed taxes on the profits were 7B.
It's not a book but I really like the Elements of AI two-part course series that the University of Helskini provided (financial) support for: the two courses in the Elements of AI series consist of a pure theory course and the second course is a hands-on / applied course. Because not everyone who is seeking to learn about AI has programming skills the second course is a 'choose your own adventure' type course, with one track involving lots of programming, one 'middle of the road' option with just a touch of coding, and the other track not involving any programming whatsoever (suitable for executives, IMO).

https://www.elementsofai.com/

I've recommended this course (just the first one if you're a time-constrained executive) to C-suite colleagues in the past who wanted to become more informed about ML, DL and AI, but who didn't want a deeply technical explanation a la Andrew Ng's Coursera courses or similar content.

The Elements of AI courses touch upon the statistical underpinnings of the space (there's a unit on Bayes' Theorem), the societal implications of automated decision-making process (job creation, etc.), what tasks are "doable with AI today" and which tasks are definitely _not_ doable with A(G)I, etc.

Helping non-technical folks develop an intuition about what is possible with "AI" is crucial, I think, to having a workplace and a society that can talk realistically about the benefits and detriments of robotic data processing such as ML, DL, AI.
This does not make sense Russia has lost huge parts of their military how is the Ukraine invasion addressing their security concerns? Putin has single handedly put 20 years of accumulated oil money on fire.

>tracking is for training that needs additional sports-specific data

Because in the view of apple, manual labour doesn't count for anything "specific" even if it is a bigger, longer and more intense workout than something you would likely get at a gym. Which is right back where we started. If the watch can do it all automagically there isn't any need for 'sports specific' tracking, right? Imagine being a furniture removalist and how you can set your watch to get whatever you get from setting it for your gym session?

And yes, you're probably aware and it also kinda beside the point, game-ifying manual labour is a thing many people do but also, seemingly, not using an apple watch to do it.
… it doesn't, and I've just run `pacman -S` to check. (& it didn't.)

That's wild that people would engineer something so dangerous if broken, particularly if the people using it are unaware that it contains tritium.
I'm not the parent poster, but this happens to me as well. It's new and didn't happen about a year ago or before that.

To everyone saying this is Snap: I'm using Debian. It does not have snap.

To everyone saying this is apt: no, I also do not apt upgrade and then wonder why tab processes suddenly can't talk to the master process anymore. Unattended upgrades is not installed on this system (it's not a server and I do manual upgrades regularly, it's not as though that unexpectedly reports that there aren't any to be applied).

It happens both on systems where firefox-esr is installed via apt and where Firefox is installed directly from Mozilla without going through apt (stability vs. timely features).

I do remember that this indeed happens when I once did upgrade via apt and then continued using Firefox. Similar effect with e.g. Signal.
Thanks, needed that bit of optimism.

On the code completion side, I'm already feeling the pain of having to interact linearly with Copilot. Would be nice to have a few different panes - "written description", "suggested changes", and "autocomplete", and have them update each other. Just having autocomplete is like peeping through a keyhole.
