I've read that uBlock Origin remains difficult to circumvent by anti-adblock techniques employed on sites today, and the sites where ads are blocked by Safari's content blockers simply haven't made the effort yet. I don't have any experience in this area, and would love someone who does to chime in.

I don't think the article mentions metacompilation, which is a further cute and mind-bending feature Forth is known for.

Metacompilation re-uses the live, running interpreter/compiler to compile a new system image of itself, from source code.

For their private 'hubs'? Pretty likely. The usual SaaS stuff. "You can run it at home, with bells and whistles, but you can just pay us...". Add in some corporate mumbo jumbo about auditing, logging, archiving et cetera, et cetera.

> also they are in a tough spot, because if they limit the download of the most popular images

They did it eventually, though from the other end.

> and those images happen to be almost all free super-fungible stuff

Yep, this is what eventually became their success story - providing a service everyone uses without even thinking about it.

> tying downloads to clients requires some development, requires setting up rate-limiting, etc.

Aaand this is exactly what they did.

> because setting up a caching proxy is kind of trivial.

It's the question of convenience. Anyone can spin-up a private registry (pulling from https://hub.docker.com/_/registry/, heh) but it's PITA to configure, maintain, care. Setting up a caching proxy.. Probably can be done, but again, this requires the resources, both hardware and very software.

>Cowen’s point is that column B is more important than column A. Societies don’t decline when they are in the midst of disruption and mess; they decline when they lose energy. And creative energy is one thing America has in abundance.

Decline is an interesting metric. Will America fail as a country? Probably not.

Will America cause more suffering with the current trajectory than it would have if choices were made to better society rather than treating humanity as a zero-sum game? Certainly! It's easy to find evidence of that whichever side of politics you come from.

> Productivity levels and living standards have increased so dramatically that it takes people less time to earn the money to buy the things they need. During the Middle Ages, an English laborer had to work 80 hours to pay for a pound of sugar. By 2021, an English laborer had to work only 1.89 minutes to do that. In 1800, it took 5.4 hours of work to buy 1,000 lumen-hours; in 1992, it took only 0.00012 hours of work for someone to light their home for six weeks.

> From 1980 to 2018, the average amount of time a person had to work to afford the basket of commodities—energy, food, raw materials—that make up a typical middle-class lifestyle fell by 72 percent, according to the book Superabundance, by Marian L. Tupy and Gale L. Pooley. That, too, frees up a lot of time and resources that can be spent on other things.

Healthcare spending from 1970 to 2020 has increased by 10x (394 billion to 4124 billion in 2020 dollars). Salaries have not increased by quite so much :D
The article is a bit wonky.

The FDA banned the use of human antibiotics for any other purpose than treating disease in 2017.

You can’t get away with not using antibiotics in livestock any more than you can do away with them in humans.

And using non-human approved antibiotics on livestock won’t increase resistance because they aren’t the same drugs.

And as for concerns about antibiotics in meat, there is a required “wash out” period when animals are treated. Exposure to humans consuming meat is minuscule. And meat is routinely tested on a random basis.

Not to say reducing antibiotic use isn’t an important goal, but the article just brushes off the 42% reduction in use in 2017.

Great progress has been made.
Most of them however have terrible firmware.
When last one of my Clip Zip died I couldn't find a RockBox compatible replacement that wasn't either too expensive or too old, so I bought first an AgpTek something (identical to the newer A02, but mine had no Bluetooth) which at least was useable, but died after 3 years: one morning it crashed just after boot and any attempt to reset and revive it failed.
Then I bought a "Jolike" (0) player off Ebay at a really good price, which turned out to be half disappointing: construction is surprisingly robust and it sounds really clean, but the firmware predictably is a disaster: they clearly aimed at cramming features in there to show more bullet points in advertising, but did never properly develop and test them, which happens very often in cheap chinese products. A RockBox port would turn it into a great product.

A triple fault reboots the system in a pretty similar way to a transfer to real mode as a jump, so I'd imagine it works pretty well actually.
What got me was when my LG tv updated itself. In doing so it broke the Ethernet connection which I was using because the wifi has an issue where it just stops all of a sudden for no reason.

I was able to resolve the wifi issue by resetting the region to another and back and turning off the auto setting for it, but frankly it’s appalling an update can go out that breaks something as basic as Ethernet.
On December 29, 2022, we were alerted to suspicious GitHub OAuth activity by one of our customers. This notification kicked off a deeper review by CircleCI’s security team with GitHub.

What kind of freaks me out about this is that a customer notified Circle? If that customer hadn't of mentioned anything, where would we be now?

I have to say, it's a pretty impressive hack. I wonder who or what was behind it?

Also wondering why / how the attacker didn't get access to the runners?

Profiles and extensions, mostly.

It's very easy to use and switch between profiles on Chrome. Firefox is not as good here, but at least they have container tabs.

Regarding extensions, it's not only the number of extensions available, but what they're capable of doing and the process of discovering them. Sure, you can buy some extension to block ads, but it's still not as capable as the free and open source uBlock Origin. You can hide cookies popups, but probably not auto click the "deny" button like some extensions do.

Safari is also a bit too simple for me. I like things that "just work", but also have some control over things. Chrome offers a good compromise, I think. Firefox gives you more power, but their UI isn't as polished as Chrome.

I like Safari's power usage but since I got a M1 MBP, I don't worry about the battery life that much anymore, so the higher drain from Chrome/Firefox doesn't affect me.

Derided by whom? From an end user point of view, Safari is the best browser, hands down, on any platform, by a long shot.

It’s silly to be absolute about it, but I think there’s probably a large overlap between competent engineers and people that agree that the agile manifesto is generally a good thing.
> I don't think GOG is very good for the developers,

I don't think that matters in the context of revenue for a business - if you want paying customers, then you have to offer people value for the money they hand over, which GOG does.

If you could distil the value you are offering to customers in just a few short sentences, what would those sentences be?

Anyway, good luck :-)
> But each one of those ideas would have been more interesting than the problem he claimed to have solved, and easier to market.

If that is true, then it seems like it would be straightforward to execute those ideas and demonstrate that conclusion.

The more charitable interpretation to this is that what's "more interesting" to you might not necessarily be what's "more interesting" to M. M's interest prioritization might not necessarily be rational, but it seems like a more plausible explanation than "this is fake".

>> Only for anyone who has forgotten just how wretched and stagnant IE6 was, and how long the web ossified around it,

As a web dev I hate ie6 as much as the next guy. I was in the fortunate position to simply drop ie6 support early (the phrase "use a modern browser" springs to mind.)

But it's worth pointing out that ie6 itself was great when it came out. It wasn't that ie6 was bad, it became bad because it got _old_.

IE brought us AJAX which transformed the web from being a read-only system (with a few forms) to an interactive platform, which is the root from which today's Web grows.

In its time IE6 was great. But a lack of competition caused it to stagnate. MS rested on their laurels.

MS themselves rallied hard against it after IE7 and later came out, but end-users refused to upgrade. They rebranded as Edge to get away from IE. The Trident engine was hard to work on though, and switching to the Blink engine has made Edge completely acceptable.

The problem isn't that one has big market share over the others, its that viable others exist. Basically, if a feature is implemented, it works pretty much the same in all browsers. These days the issue is not different behaviour [1] as much as the speed that new features spread at.

Safari has been the slowest here, although recent improvements there are welcome.

[1] yeah, yeah, there are some differences. But it's nothing like the work necessary to make a site work under IE6 and Firefox 1.
Absolutely zero information in this article.
The answer is off, because as the rate of switching the light on and off gets to a certain point, a massive amounts of heat is generated which melts the circuit.

SCI was Sierra On-Line's third language for writing adventure games. According to the ScummVM wiki, the name stood for both "Script Code Interpreter" and "Sierra's Creative Interpreter".

It was preceded by ADL (Adventure Development Language, which did simple text adventures with graphics) and AGI (Adventure Game Interpreter, which did the same sort of thing as SCI, but lower resolution.)

What an intensely irritating article.

The maps have all sorts of colored and textured areas with no hint of a legend to suggest what any mean. The text says the high point of O. Mons is in a surprising place while offering no hint where that is. Almost all the contour lines are unlabeled. Is the high point near the "21000" line? How much elevation is there between lines? Is the number meters? Meters above what? (No, not sea level.)

It says there are ridges where rivers used to be, with no hint how a river course could turn into a ridge.
With EVs that won't be a problem - they are absurdly cheap to maintain.
With Tesla, things are a lot simpler. Original buyers were the people who were excited to own an EV. Now that EVs has gone mainstream, that segment is gone, and people became more attentive to details of the cars they buy. And, Tesla's interiors suck. Model 3 looks like a dirt cheap Chinese car, Model S like a mid-range European family car. Exterior is cool, but inside it feels like a car 3x it's cheaper. I can imagine it becoming a major impediment in sales now as the "early adopters" market is fulfilled.

Then again, maybe it's OK in U.S. where most of the cars are crappy on the inside - my ex had an American BMW X5 and it felt like cheap crap too, quite unlike it's European cousin. But it won't fly here in Europe.
This is such a cool feature on Macs. My iPhone receives the OTP via text message, it gets forwarded to Messages on my Mac, and then desktop Safari offers to enter the code. It all takes less than a second. Do other platforms have this? Honest question, I have no idea.
I recently wanted to build Python wheels for a whole bunch of Python versions and packages on Mac ARM64. I ended up using OSX-KVM, and then using cibuildwheel to crossbuild to arm64. Pretty dang easy.

I set up OSX-KVM (https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM) and it worked really well. Having archlinux is a huge plus for this (it's why the docker image uses it), as qemu is super simple to setup and get running. Was surprised how easy it was, but given how much effort the bootloaders have had over the recent years for Hackintosh, qemu users can just yoink that bootloader and use it.
I see you will be paying developers based on popularity of their game. How will you prevent them from getting all their friends to load up the game and just let it run in the background for hours, soaking up all the popularity?

FWIW, Netflix never pays based on viewership. They negotiate a fee up front based on how much they think the lifetime value of the movie/show will be to the platform. They then pay that fee, sometimes all up front, sometimes over the length of the contract, and sometimes a combination of both. Whatever it takes to get the content.

This creates a much more consistent experience for both the content creator and Netflix. The creator knows exactly how much they'll make, and Netflix knows exactly what their monthly cost will be.

I understand that as you're just starting you may not have the bankroll to pay up front, nor the data to properly estimate the value, but I'm just throwing this out there as a possibly better way to pay.

This is a very poor analysis. Its assertion that "long COVID is an often debilitating illness that occurs in at least 10% of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections" is based on a study that neither accounts for misattribution of symptoms to COVID, nor the psychosocial effects of a COVID infection, e.g. the anxiety related to getting COVID, the isolation required of those who contract COVID, etc.

The best evidence available suggests most cases of "long COVID" are misattribution:
