If you haven't done this in some time and use a Mac, give Safari a shot.
From the performance and energy usage perspective, it's wonderful. I switched more than 3 years ago and never looked back. The only thing that feels sluggish are the Google web apps (FUD in my opinion).

I've been doing front-end dev for almost 20 years and now use Chromium very rarely and only in work related context.

I'm at the risk of sounding naive here, but using any browser that is not Chrome makes the world a slightly better place (just a tiny bit), same goes with helping your non-techie friends do the same.

(yes, I know Safari is not perfect, but Chrome is cancer/storefront and it is one often things that make use collectively a tiny bit more stupid)
One of the problems with labelling someone's behaviour as "bullying", is it risks derailing the conversation from focusing on the actual behaviour and the problem it is causing, to semantic disputes about what counts as "bullying". I don't think there is a single universally agreed definition of the term; and even with an agreed definition, employment lawyers will make whole careers out of litigating the boundaries of that definition

I think it can be much more constructive to focus the conversation on (1) what is the behaviour, (2) why it is a problem, (3) what could they do instead. That's a useful strategy, whether some problematic behaviour counts as "bullying" or not.

> If you suspect bullying intervene,

If you see a problem, see to it the problem is being handled appropriately. Depending on the situation and your own position, that might be either directly intervening in the problem yourself, or maybe just making sure the appropriate people are aware of it. That's true whether the problem counts as "bullying" or not.
Is it?

OS are general-purpose system, it's always been the case that applications being known workload they had better knowledge of what they need (it just doesn't matter to most of them). That's why you can tune your db configuration, or you can police individual processes using various tunables, or you can ship your program with a better allocator than f'ng glibc malloc.

And a modern browser is a pretty complicated process manager, the OS has no understanding of what the various processes do or what state they're in.
They can’t prevent you from doing anything, but you can agree not to and agree to consequences if you don’t.

Whether this is ethical or not is another (and important) question but that’s the legal framework to it.
How about a modified approach that raises the solar panels. One could use wood poles with steel wires to suspend the panels. That way you could service from underneath and even manually wash from underneath (e.g. using a custom made roller that you swipe from underneath).
> I wouldn’t want to which ratio of certain ingredients I’d need. That would just result in me having to check the description of dozens of packages in a shop,

Glues are not a long list of ingredients like a recipe or something. There's only a few ingredients that actually matter in making things stick.

> That would just result in me having to check the description of dozens of packages in a shop,

Checking ingredients is a good thing in a store. Not sure why people find this kind of thing a problem. Aren't you curious with what things are made?
Maybe I am just cynical, but I highly doubt many leaders would actually care about a worker’s death.

Most would like have the decorum and PR experience to feign shock, but I doubt you’d get more than an empty “oh that’s terrible“ from most in power.

To me the fact that anyone would find this shocking is the most shocking part as it implies people are believing politicians facades.
I’m a nudist. We’re going to be crucified by this kind of technology because it’s coarse, context-unaware, and enforced with draconian consequences by automated systems and corporate functionaries with absolutely no understanding of other people’s lifestyles. I’m as horrified by child abuse as anybody else but I’ve seen members of my community put through endless grief and even families broken up because of it. There’s so much more to identifying child abuse than spotting a naked child, and the tech giants that rolled out this tech have demonstrated they really don’t understand (and aren’t interested in understanding) other’s lifestyles and “err on the side of caution” dictated by their mainstream guidelines. Without a proper superstructure this infrastructure is just police-state level crap.
Before launching a GoFundMe for Elon, consider that when it’s that much money Elon doesn’t really have a problem, the bankers do. No matter what happens, Elon is going to be just fine.
Which is another reason to try a browser not owned by an advertising business.

From the perspective of Google, your browser or your phone are just ad spaces.

> a follow-up IETF project to use MLS for inter-messenger interoperability

It's worth highlighting (as a comment in the linked discussion does) that the EU's newly-passed Digital Markets Act requires interoperability between the messaging apps of large "gatekeeper" platforms.

If Twitter does end up supporting E2EE messaging, it may soon be forced to implement MLS, and if Facebook and Google are really supportive of MLS then soon(TM) most people online will be able to communicate via that technology.

I suspect it would be better than nothing, but I think we'll find it a poor substitute for human connection on a level that's hard to recognize or explain.

> Wrote a book, published nine years ago.

This might work for some writers and books, but not for others.

There was this one Tweet that went into detail about what some trial documents revealed about a particular publisher: https://twitter.com/aprilhenrybooks/status/15662306587665039...

> In the Penguin Random House/S&S antitrust trial it was revealed that out of 58,000 trade titles published per year, half of those titles sell fewer than one dozen books.

There were also articles that disagreed with the claim: https://countercraft.substack.com/p/no-most-books-dont-sell-...

Which also had some discussion on HN, where some people suggested that it was somewhat true, while others explored other aspects of it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32794673

But even the article itself refers to more claims like that, with many suggesting that in writing, like many other industries, there will be a few very successful books/projects, and many that will fall by the wayside (honestly, I'd say the same about most things, from making SaaS products, to game development and art/music). Here's a humbling article that someone wrote: https://hughhowey.com/most-books-dont-sell/

I guess what I'm trying to say here: don't write a book hoping to earn a lot of money. Write a book because you find the experience interesting or fun, and just because you want to write (and publish) a book.
I’m a nudist. This kind of technology has crucified us as a community. I’m glad to see any sign of it being walked back.
Any time a piece of propaganda uses the term 'your friend' over and over again, ask yourself why are they assuming you have friends, and why they are using this medium to build their base out.
If you ever want to debug/mess with the memory saver you can look at "chrome://discards".

Chromium already discarded tabs when the system memory pressure was high, what the memory saver brings is a smarter policy [0]. For example, tabs that are inactive for more than two hours will be automatically discarded now.

No.

For me it’s common sense to check your assumptions before making claims about someone’s work.

A 5 year old channel with 1.7mil subscribers, 200mil views, 500 highly upvoted videos with tens of thousands of comments of praise is a pretty strong signal.

It might not be useful for _you_, but doing a general statement that it’s not helpful and is waste of time is silly, illogical and shortsighted.

Everyone is different and have their own preference which medium to use to gain knowledge.
If you have less offices you have less needs for corporate branding. If you were to consolidate all branding into the remaining offices it would take up too much space. You can not be sentimental about this stuff.
The famous r/antiwork interview is all a fantastic example of where this attitude gets you.

Honestly, being Doreen seems like a nightmare and we should aspire to be better.
I think another important thing to mention is that there is a regulation on centralized crypto exchanges about unhosted wallets. Therefore, this regulation is completely against defi I would say.
Indeed, I’ve tried streamlit early on but it was very limited in layouts and I had to do all kinds of gymnastics to deal with state.

Gradio seems more popular for building ML driven demos though I have not used it. (I actually am curious why it’s more popular than SL).

Will Byrd comes to mind as someone with a quite nice programming channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/WilliamEByrd), I especially recommend his miniKanren intro series.
That's very strange, because I've been using it without issue at least twice that long.
I’m a nudist. Scanning for CSAM has caused no end of grief to the community and even led families losing their kids. It’s police-state type crap and I’m glad to see it go.
Think as you like but behave like others is the western approach. They would bemoan the loss and be very emotional about it while internally thinking the same thing this guy said. I prefer my leaders to be less fluff.
Safari's UI just isn't good for me.
Reasons Humanists Reject the Bible
I'd be happy using Safari, but the deal-breaker for me is the lack of uBlock Origin. There are other suggestions that people mention - Ghostery and Wipr for example - but somehow they don't give me confidence that they're going to be as reliable.
Can you plug a mouse or trackball into a PS5?
But you can be smart and care about branding and reputation.

Crime. Not that difficult, is it?
I want to be able to legally receive my salary as cash without special permission; eg, a customer paying me for a project.

This law prohibits paying me for a month in cash.

Courts are very slow moving. The cartel known as the Bar makes it difficult for litigant in person.But once you have to tools (case law database access) and templates for the documents to file it is like writing up aproject proposal in corporate office. The digitally filing process is quick(after you physically present yourself at a court to hand over the CDRom to the court registry and filling in paper forms). The cartel(Bar) in my country however prevents litigant-in-person access to the digital filing system(reserved for licensed practitioners only) I do not bill the estate for my hours so I have no idea but it can be absorbing as a chess game.
Which was acquired by a suspicious company and started releasing new versions not based on the public GitHub repo, so with who knows what. Most people migrated off it for that reason.
As far as I know there isn't... that's the problem.
Was about to say the same: the appeal of text driven online-only communities might completely collapse once botnets switch from DoS and brute-forcing credentials to well-written astroturfing offered to the highest bidder. Best time to invest in a pub?
> Get the boot out of your mouth. If cash is legal tender, then any amount is, by default, legal.

The concept of what is and isn’t “legal tender” is pretty extreme in the US compared to many other places. E.g many (most?) countries routinely takes bank notes out of circulation and make them worthless. But this isn’t so much about whether is legal tender but more about KYC laws: your €20K is no good to me as payment for a car if my bank won’t accept it in a deposit without a lot of hassle.

> Stop pretending the government (any) has the “average” man’s best interest

I like my government. I believe it operates with the best interest of the majority in mind. Why would they not? I elected them? It doesn’t consist of shadowy bureaucrats with hard- to-decide motives as far as I can see. They usually make laws with public support and have to answer when making impopular laws. The whole “governments are universally bad” thing is sad. Are people accepting living in democracies they experience working so poorly that they believe government has its own - or worse someone else’s - best interest in mind.

Thanks! I agree, I'll stay away from characters, at least at an early/beginner level (although I am including them mostly for aesthetic purposes). It's a huge hurdle that lots of people don't necessarily need/want to overcome.
Apparently he’s looking to replace some of the expensive debt with new margin loans backed by his TSLA shares:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-08/musk-bank...

IMO this Twitter deal has been nothing but bad news for Tesla shareholders. The CEO is completely distracted and forced to sell his shares, and the company has been dragged into stupid culture wars. Tesla brand perception has crashed among Democratic-voting Americans who previously were its biggest supporters.

It’s hard to believe he spent $44B and crashed his car company’s valuation and personal reputation just to bring back Babylon Bee’s trans harassment onto an also-ran social media platform. It’s even harder to believe that some people fantasize about moving to a Mars colony where a person with this kind of judgment is king.
Why would Google need a reload to keep tracking (they already control the browser)? That this feature/implementation was driven by desire for more tracking sounds far fetched to me.
They are moving in the right direction. Browser vendors should optimize for low memory usage and not for speed in bechmarks at the cost of memory usage, because when the system runs out of memory everything becomes so slow that benchmark performance doesn't matter anymore. The only people who win from benchmark optimization are those with 16-32 Gb of RAM (for example, Google employees).

So I would rather choose a browser with 2x-3x lower benchmark performance if it could consume 2x-3x less memory. Firefox is basically unusable on a 2Gb system as long as you useit more than 15 minutes.

One of the solutions could be to freeze and compress background tabs. There is no need to keep in memory HTTP caches, localstorage, heavy JIT caches, CSS selector dependency trees, JS bytecode, DOM nodes without JS expandos attached. Freezing background tabs also allows to save energy.
What would you have job posting sites do differently to validate employers? This is an extremely difficult problem.
There is a massive distance between reporters having sources, and reporters/news orgs having a weekly sync where the idea is to enable federal officials to censor what can be talked about. This is about as anti-US as you can get, and about what I would expect in the PRC.
“You can’t buy a car without permission” sounds tyrannical to me.
True, although in this case we are discussing active selective silencing rather than mere relationships.
Show HN: Pg_CRDT – an experimental CRDT extension for Postgres
This is an experimental extension for CRDTs, pg_crdt: GitHub repo[0]. It supports Yjs/Yrs and Automerge.

The linked blog post [1] describes how we're thinking about this extension in a Supabase context. I want to emphasise this part: "pg_crdt has not been released onto the Supabase platform (and it may never be). We’re considering many options for offline-sync/support and, while CRDTs will undoubtedly factor in, we’re not sure if this is the right approach."

As a web app developer? I’ve seen all sorts of ridiculous behaviour that I can’t explain for reasons other than weird wake-from-sleep implementations. I assume that any tab suspension implementations will follow the same patterns.
The alternative for Apple is some sort of "malicious compliance", where they offer "Insecure Messages" as a UK-alternative to their Messages app.

It should prominently display an uncloseable banner at the top of the app saying "Due to a surveillance law passed by the Tory government, Apple is not allowed to secure any messages you send or receive in this app".

Users in other countries who communicate with UK users should have a similar but minimisable message, warning them of the same problem.
Been living in France for 10y. I took a basic one semester French course paid by the company. It was difficult to then continue because of low availability / timing / difficult commute / price so I turned to Duolingo.

The best aspect was that you can learn any time you have 5-10 min spare. At the bus stop, a coffee break etc.

But it can only get you so far.

After finishing Duolingo French course I took to Memrise to build the vocabulary: 500 verbs, 500 adjectives etc.

In parallel, I'd read local newspapers online, and Google Translate any word I didn't understand.

This gave me a reading comprehension but talking was still difficult.

I only learnt talking proficiency by joining a French company where everyone would talk French at lunch breaks. (First one was more international with many non-speaker fresh grads, talking English).

After that, watching a lot of TV with subtitles to improve listening.
This comment is beneath HN.

AMZN (amongst numerous other household name brands) ships world class products with 2-pizza teams where a dev, a designer and a product manager are having the conversations that need to be had to ship.

They famously shut down the free meals.
Most bank accounts in the U.S. have this feature, it’s called “online bill pay.” They do actually pay larger companies (utilities, mortgage, corporate landlords, etc.) via ACH transfer. But for any biller not so set up, they just mail a paper check.
I'm not sure if it's an age thing but I live in the US and am mid-30s. I rarely, if ever, write checks. The only time I interact with checks is as a gift and I'm cashing it. Writing checks is a smell - if I can't use Zelle/Venmo/etc, it's an issue.
Nice video. This clearly shows that artists have already tamed the beast and that while spectacular and being a huge time saver, human touch is still needed at all stages.

Please, don't give them more ideas.
Fuck you god damn tyrants. They are desperate to have approval over every transaction. Set some "reasonable limit" that the sheep approve of then you can inflate it away to punish them. No wonder they're pushing inflation harder. In a year's time that limit becomes 9k.
"Memory saver" and "battery saver"? How about just disable JavaScript by default. Make it opt-in per tab with a banner alert for the user: "this site may drain your battery".
They posted it because he collapsed and died during extra time at the Argentina Netherlands match the day after he wrote it. Lots of theories and potential explanations for what actually happened as he’s been talking about not feeling well recently, but you can’t really blame people for being suspicious after what happened with SA and Khashoggi.

His brother posted a video saying he believes he was killed, but he was obviously and understandably in a really emotional state. To add to this, his brother is gay and Grant wore a rainbow shirt (as many other prominent journalist have done during this World Cup to protest the Qatari stance on LGBTQ rights) to a match and was told he couldn’t enter the stadium.

This is pretty unsurprising, they're not really going to raise any serious money from this (what do we reckon? 1FTE Salary at most?) but they've got office space for 7.5k people and less than 3k less. Musk keeps saying "If you code come to the 10th floor" - which basically implies that their entire team of engineers fit onto 1 floor of the building and that there a load of empty floors now that don't need kitchens or desks or chairs.

For everyone who is commenting on the grammar/spelling mistakes, this is on-purpose. It dramatically increases the positive predictive value of their scam (i.e. the probability that the victim they have messaged on day 1 will go through with the wire transfer on day 5). It does this by pre-filtering the general population for gullible individuals.
Are you an owner/operator at a “smaller” scale? I’ve always dreamed of starting a “DIY” commercial solar farm. I’ve recently moved to Spain from Canada and have been looking at the news of these flat installations recently. Seems pretty ideal for the climate here (no snow!), land is cheap and there’s no frost line to deal with.

I was thinking that maybe it makes sense to have each corner of a panel on a concrete block to keep them up off the ground a bit and promote some air flow and keep the temperatures down. That might make it hard to walk on them to clean, though. But if I had some sort of Roomba like device to do the cleaning that might not be an issue…

There are 1+ million migrant workers in Qatar. Roughly, the average human mortality rate is about 1% per year. In a given population of 1 million, you could expect about 27 to die, on average each day. (0.01x1000000)/365 = 27

Sure, more elderly people make up the 1%, and if accounting for the workers ages maybe you'll have half that figure. Or a quarter. The point is, in context, one worker dying out of a million on any given day is unfortunately expected.

It doesn't mean it's not sad, or that the persons life was worthless, or that the death should not be investigated to determine the cause. It does mean that out of 1 million, thousands will ordinarily die during any given year.

How many times per day would it take for an authority to issue a statement like the above before such statements begin to seem trite and meaningless?
We care but do we care enough to do something and what would that be?
