Whenever I read these I interpret it as reading about an alcoholic. They also have to call it quits completely and can't have a little buzz during social events or enjoy some wine, or find an interesting new craft beer, all because they couldn't cope with it. Regular people that keep it in check can enjoy it and not have to make a big deal about how they quit. Same with social media. If you use it regularly, don't spend all your day on it, post every detail of your life there and get your self worth from it, obviously it's better to use it.
I've tried a few times to export my data from Facebook and it's never worked for me. I request it and it just silently fails.
Tenable.io Agent in Kubernetes
Hi team,

I work for rocket.chat and I develop a solution to implement tenable.io agent in kubernetes environment, here is the repository:

https://github.com/RocketChat/Darwiny/

I was not able to find it in the internet so I open sourced it since some other people may need. Feel free to PR and give us recommendations to improve it.
It's generally still not considered a credible field. Mostly hucksters and grifters.
How about instead of analogies (which we've misunderstood even on this thread), just say this: "Java and Javascript are very different languages, don't be confused by the similarity of the names".

Of course, at this point virtually everyone knows this, now we are only arguing about which analogy to use to describe something we all understand.
The thing about burning gas for heat in your home is that it's either very clean, or there is something seriously wrong with your system. There is no scope for it causing 'respiratory issues' except in a setup so broken that it's not legal (or shouldn't be legal) to operate.

Unlike for example a wood stove which might release some smoke into your house, at a level where it's not good for you, but not violently toxic.
For example, a study could be enabled by a cool new product. Like a state of the art commercial computational technology. And one of the authors happens to hold stock in a company selling the product.
There is a push in C++ towards Value Semantics. The compilers don't seem good enough for it yet.

It's a problem with overuse of `auto` too, copies everywhere and I'd wager a lot of them are unintended copies.

But hey, your code compiled so it must be right!

It gives a set-theoretic bijection, but not one that plays by all the rules I mentioned above. In particular, you don't get a bijection that corresponds to a finite, non-looping program.

Generally speaking, Cantor–Schröder–Bernstein does not give you a (finite) construction of the bijection, because you have to follow the inverses of f and g back until you either end up with something from the first set with no preimage under g, or something from the second set with no preimage under f, or you find that you are iterating forever. You have to make a decision based on whether or not a certain computation terminates. That's essentially why it is a non-constructive theorem (in fact, it even implies the law of excluded middle)

But in your specific case, we're kind of in luck. The injections are simple enough that you can work out the bijection that you'd get from König's proof manually, and it goes like this:

Concretely, let's write (AB) for the tree with left subtree A and right subtree B, and write . for the empty tree. Your injections are f(A,B) = (AB) and g(T) = (T.). Alternately applying f/g partitions the set of trees into a bunch of infinite sequences. Your bijection is given by: if T is part of the sequence that begins with the empty tree, pair T with (T,.). If T is part of some other sequence, then T is not the empty tree; it is of the form T = (LR), and you should pair T with (L,R). Concretely, the sequence that starts with the empty tree looks like:

. -> . . -> (..) -> (..) . -> ((..).) -> ((..).) . -> (((..).).) -> **

In other words, the single trees that appear in the empty list's sequence are the fully-left-leaning trees like ((((..).).).); all other trees are in the other sequences. So to decide where your tree goes in the bijection, you have to do this:

if (T is fully left-leaning) then (T,.) else (left-child(T), right-child(T))

And computing whether or not T is fully left-leaning involves an unbounded amount of computation. You have to actually walk the whole tree. So this bijection won't correspond to a finite, non-looping program. In a sense, the algorithm you get from Cantor–Schröder–Bernstein is not "continuous", but the one you get from the Seven Trees In One construction is.
I sincerely hope they don't entertain such ideas. Culture is an expression of ideas, and ideas are built upon other ideas. Nobody can claim an idea to their own, and certainly not a group of individuals who have come long after the conception of the idea. It goes against everything that defines the human race and how we have evolved for hundreds of thousands of years.
It's unclear to me why CC-BY isn't sufficient for SRD material. I'm glad that Paizo is throwing off the yoke of Hasbro altogether, but I don't have a good understanding for what a new license will do that CC doesn't.
Apple's goal was to kill malware, not general-purpose computing[0] as a whole. Unfortunately it turns out that killing general-purpose computing is an instrumental goal[1] to killing malware: if you want a phone that cannot get a virus then you need someone pre-approving every line of code that hits the processor.

Once you have any entity having control over your device, even if it is for your own benefit and you completely trust that entity, a whole bunch of other competing business considerations come into play. In the case of adversarial interoperability, that means business risks that Apple doesn't want to take on. Let's say that tomorrow Elon Musk goes absolutely insane[2] and decides that third-party Twitter clients are hacking as defined by the CFAA. If Apple knowingly distributes those clients, then they could be held criminally liable for signing and distributing the app.

Less dramatically, adversarial operability implies a lot of support headaches. Apple wants to sell working software, not stuff that needs updates every few hours to keep ahead of updates done on Twitter's side to kill it. Even if they wanted to fight for adversarial interop in court, the underlying constraint of "pre-approve software updates to keep malware away" makes updating the software in real time to work around Twitter's workaround to the software untenable.

For a non-Apple, pre-everything-being-locked-down example of how much of a pain adversarial interoperability is in practice, there's the time Microsoft tried to make MSN speak to AIM. They stopped once AOL started using buffer overflow exploits to validate that you were running AIM[3]. AOL did not need to actually sue Microsoft with a spurious application of the CFAA. They just needed to wrap their API and client in enough garbage to make interop monetarily painful to support.

"Why isn't this person working with someone they know?" is a useful way of approaching cold connection B2B.

People have track records. If they can't convince anyone who knows them to go in on their deal, there's a reason. Often these are good reasons drawn from experience.

Maybe a stranger really does want to make me rich. Probably not.
Workout, watch a ton of old movies and TV shows, and build Legos.
The reason why there’s a battle about gas stoves is that people care a lot more about the way they cook than the way they heat their house, but if they cook with gas, then they heat with gas. So if you want to push people away from gas heating towards electric heat pumps, then you need to attack gas stoves
The issue OP describes seem to be the effect from them cutting social ties and not replacing them with new ones.

They basically voluntarily isolated themselves.

Perhaps it should be handled in the same way the YouTubeDL (YT DLP) team handles changes in the html.
- Aggressive marketing of platform defaults, such as Edge on Windows

- Aggressive misuse of incompatibilities, such as video calling for Chrome and Edge (e.g. Teams)

- Loss of websites optimizing for standards and instead optimizing for the monopolist (Chrome). Same as with IE.
I love Firefox, but the default experience is covered with ads. I wouldn't be surprised if that's a major contributor. It feels like the budget browser compared to Chrome.
That can be about literally any change, how does std::optional meaningfully change things here to warrant calling out that you need care when using it specifically?
Facebook was a great way to keep in touch with friends that I don't really speak to anymore. Ex: People I went to college with 10 years ago. Now that FB is mostly unused, I have no idea what is happening to these people.
> For those who don't know these are stoves that have on board batteries allowing them to generate, for a period of time, far more heat than an ordinary house circuit would be able to power.

Depends on ordinarity of a house. My ordinary house has 3phase power and my pretty cheap induction stove outperforms all gas stoves I had. When I was living in a flat, I only had single phase power, but 4kW should still be enough for a stove. In USA you typically only have 110V (or 220v for those daring), so anything electric is straining your circuit breakers.
Same here.

Zero regrets and if anything my social life improved, didn't get worse.

It is true that Facebook is nowadays the reference point to stay in touch with what's happening locally (events and things like that), but this has maybe impacted a bit my knowledge of cool events around, not my social life.
The best way to describe the government of the US, and as far as I've read any powerful ruling organization, is they end up running like a mob in that people might disagree with how something was done, boss might not like what enforcers are doing, people are getting politically whackes or punished for doing not exactly what boss told them, but above all else, they will be damned before someone outside the family knows about it. I believe the US IC is no different.
Sure, I'm addressing both air quality and carbon emissions in the same comment.
I don't think this is similar to the plastic straws at all. The focus for banning gas stoves is on the (respiratory) health issues associated with gas cooking of the household. It is not about climate change.
It's not just red shift that demands an explanation, but also that the sky (space) is dark. If space wasn't expanding then the skies would be bright white.

Another thing is the second law of thermodynamics, which very strongly implies a lot of standard cosmology.

Don't you feel that these evidences just make a case from models checked in small scales and tell the whole universe what it should do?

I don't mean the reasoning is incorrect or unwarranted, just that there could be alternative explanations that involve unknowns.

Of course, standard cosmology could be all wrong, but these deductions are quite solid as far as the physics that we know today.

When applying Occam's razor, you try to minimize entities and simplify. But what appears simpler for a physicist is sometimes surprising for the rest of us. The equations don't work as expected? No problem, let's say that the entire universe is expanding or, even better, that space is expanding. Or that all the universe was at some moment in the space of a tennis ball. Or that big bang happened everywhere at the same time...

While some explanation fits the maths, it doesn't matter if it's totally alien to common sense. Actually I find all those weird explanations strangely appealing, they give me a sense of wonder and empowerment. Cosmology feels like a superpower :)

> unable to escape the propaganda tone (with a serious reek of Young Guards)

We're still talking about the guy whose book opens on a bortherly civil war between two Young Guards factions, followed by a public lynching by the same guards, and a young girl ending in a re-education camp? An opening that has been damaging enough by Chinese censors to be moved a few chapters later in the Chinese edition of the book?
In that particular case I blame fake web apps such as MS Teams, Netflix and a few others.

I still use firefox and librewolf as my primary browsers but sometimes I use Edge or chrome for some particular use cases, mostly driven by professionnal duties. In my particular case I don't mind because I never mix pro and personnal usage on the same browser but for someone who don't do that kind of separation I could easily see them give up and use chrome and only chrome.

That is what most typical users usually do. If they encounter a single mishap with one app that is not the most popular one, they switch to it and never go back, even though that most popular one suck at other things. When everyone is stuck with an issue, most people just accept it. What they hate is feeling left behind if only themselves are facing that particular issue. And it is unrelated to the actual annoyance created by those respective issues.
Do you remember what that was? Dectalk was around in the 80s and so might’ve been that, but it wasn’t a generally available thing. Dr Sbaitso was common, but that wasn’t until 91/92.
I'm one of them. I switched to Brave first, and have settled on Vivaldi going forward. Why? Because Firefox was increasingly problematic to use. Things like background blur on Google Meet didn't work.

Yes, I realize it was probably Google doing Google things to hurt Firefox, but day-to-day, I need a browser that works. So switching to a Chromium-based browser that had things like ad-block and other features I consider important was the best solution.
I hope you're not being serious
Seems that their plan to do everything possible to sabotage their browser and waste resources on stupid bullshit that doesn't improve Firefox is working.
> Cancer rates have exploded since 1970

So has life expectancy!

Cancer is ultimately a numbers game & you roll the dice every single day. Life expectancy in the US today is ten years longer than it was in 1970. All those extra dice rolls add up. Ideally you could correct for this effect, but it’s not clear we know enough about how cancer risk accumulates over time to do this correctly.
Sorry, I beg to differ. C is a simple language. The overwhelming majority of issues I’ve encountered writing C code haven’t had anything to do with the language; most issues have turned out to be due to compiler, library, architecture, kernel, OS, etc.-related differences, peculiarities, and/or issues. C++, on the other hand, makes it incredibly easy to shoot yourself in the foot at the language level.
That's the problem with english language.

You would never call "friend" such a person in many other languages, in both Polish and Italian we have a word for such people which is similar to acquaintance.

Because by the description you people don't seem like friend at all. You just happen to have hanged out a decade ago for some time but never really had a meaningful long lasting relationship like a friendship.
Firefox Sync doesn't work consistently. Sent tabs regularly vanish.

Edge sync works. That was my last straw, since I'm sending tabs to another device all the time.
I agree with Google here.

I am generally of the opinion that a person is responsible of what they do with information, rather than the provider of that information.

It should be your responsibility to distinguish fact from fiction, signal from noise, benevolence from malevolence, and whether it is a good idea to blindly follow instructions, especially ones involving violence (hint: it's not).

But I am still bitter about YT removing the 'dislike' statistics. Maybe a high dislike ratio on a terrorist video would have opened someone's eyes.
Are there any interesting sci-fi novels or games that take place in the (far) future in Antarctica with humanity being forced away from the equator by the increasing temperatures?
I'll use Firefox on mobile for no other reason than ad blocking extensions.
Completely useless tangent: the word "benchmark" comes from a mark that surveyors would make in rock so that they could place a leveling rod for surveying. Benchmarks are made relative to other benchmarks so that surveying can be done relative to the height of one known fundamental benchmark.

It could be argued that it isn't really a benchmark unless you can accurately calculate the result based off of a common fundamental benchmark.
I guess the Firefox ship is sinking and Chrome's (and the derivatives) dominance is rising. The EU Digital Markets Act will just further increase its dominance and Firefox will be on course to irrelevancy since Mozilla is still unable to make money without Google keeping them on life support.

At this point Google should just spin out the Chromium engine as a separate non-profit organization and allowing others to freely make their own browsers based on a standard browser engine like Brave, Edge, Opera, Vivaldi etc to use it but done freely without Google's complete control.

Exactly just like what the Linux Kernel has done with 'distros' with the kernel as the central standard for anyone to freely make their own Linux distro, the same can be done for browser engines.
I see this sentiment a lot and don't really understand it. Until the last few books there is a very clear distinction between the human tech (hard SF) and the alien tech (magic). The main story takes place very much within the limits of plausible physics (ships rely on reaction engines and takes weeks to traverse large distances, space combat and weapons are actually realistic, powered armor doesn't keep people safe from inertia, etc.), and then there are magical elements that the characters run up against.

Contrast that with Three Body where the main plot driver revolves around FTL communication with indestructible intelligent nano-scale machines that can be anywhere any time, then gets progressively less realistic from there. I did enjoy the thread about the human ships going extra-solar, though, which was closer to Expanse in terms of Hard SF meeting a magical element (+dimensional travel).
Pretty sure that guy just made it up and believes it.
I don’t know why people use chrome over Firefox. Chrome still uses a crazy amount of ram for me compared to Firefox

And I just discovered this week that zooming in chrome affects ALL tabs not just the one you’re on. And they marked the bug as won’t fix so you need a bloody plugin to zoom a single tab.

There is no "normal" way an individual can relate to these things(, or relate to the world at large). Social media is more a financially backed mind-altering alien invasion than some extension of human social life. And yet, people regularly shame each other or themselves about it. Or they provide prescriptive statements as if its about how many cups of water you should drink a day. Its all just a silly circle of normativity on top of a framework that just more or less sells and delivers ads.

Just kind of reflect on your impulse here to be mean to this person, or to poke holes in their story, show their hypocrisy. Why? Whats really at stake here? Is this really something like a moral failing? Do you counter them with a more normal way to be a person? It is precisely bad faith, in Sartre's schema, to act like you know, to forget the ineffable uncertainty of being human and to act like, actually, we are all users, and there are good ways to be one or not, or good places to be a user or not.

To find superiority at all in yourself for your particular consumption or social habits is, if you reflect honestly for a second, the truly shameful thing. We are all figuring it out.
It only takes one bad experience to cross the hurdle of installing another browser. I had to download chrome because Teams didn’t want to work in FF and I’ve found myself using it more since.
That's just because your skin has water molecules that freeze on contact with the ice cube. If you use tongs to put an ice cube on your desk, it doesn't stick at all, right? And the friction is very low so it's easy to kick away -- things like a leather wallet stick much better to your desk.

They did more than know; while knowing, they pretended not to, and cast doubt on research confirming what they internally knew.

"Hardness" in science fiction is scarcely an academical subject of literature. I personally like Mohs Scale of Science Fiction Hardness [0] but not beyond a thought excercise.

If you can, find me a published author stating "I wrote this story strictly in terms of a level 5 in the Mohs scale"; there will be none (unless they're targeting reddit as a reader base).

The US has 240VAC though it's just not a common household appliance circuit. My induction cooktop (in Australia) draws 7kW and is supplied by a dedicated 20A circuit for it (because that's what you over-spec the wiring too).

It was put in to replace a gas cooktop which was there when we bought the house, and vastly out-performs that unit in speed and heat output.

If you converted you'd be pulling a dedicated circuit through anyway - no one's tying induction cooktops off to just whatever line you already have.

The one area gas can be better is if you're doing wok cooking, but that's more to do with how wok's are shaped and heat up then any limitation on the ability to get heat into them (I've not been able to find one of the adapters which apparently exists to solve this).
i really like it, but my worthless bank (lloyds) doesn't work with it anymore, so for their banking web site i have to use chrome. grrr. i still use firefox for everything else.
I stopped using the iOS version for 2 reasons. It had started to be very slow, hitting the address bar to enter a url would result in a multi-second freeze. Also it doesn't support the screen-time limits on iOS, so I was using it to browse HN when I shouldn't have been. I would like to return to it though, maybe if Apple open up their browser engine policy it would improve.
People STILL complain about ThinkPads having Fn in the corner and Ctrl beside it despite being one of the first laptops (if not the first) to even have a Fn key. Even minor changes get griped about unfortunately.
I'd rather not use a browser from an organization that explicitly promotes censorship.

> And I just discovered this week that zooming in chrome affects ALL tabs not just the one you’re on.

I don't have this issue in ALL tabs, but only the tabs sharing the same origin which makes sense if you ask me, doesn't seem a bug.
I moved from Firefox to Chrome after using FF for a long time because of the opposite. FF randomnly locked up and used tonnes of RAM, not consistently but occasionally.

As someone who uses the browser a lot for work, I cannot have randomn lock ups happening for seconds at a time and not have this treated as a priority 1 bugfix by mozilla.
you gotta admit the ads are catchy... "there's no place like Chrome"
