>Also FF shits itself over +100 tabs

10 years ago, sure. I currently have 235 tabs open, plus another window with 172. Firefox is at 5.3G of RAM, 0% CPU. Most of these tabs have gone to sleep and get restored in less than a second. Tabs have not been a problem with firefox in years.
Those lack the sensors needed to detect and track a moving ship. Good sensors are expensive, and consume a lot of power.

A really important addition there is to make sure you get your sleep routine in order. If you don't sleep well then sticking to any of the other habits is going to be incredibly hard. Decide on a sleep schedule that gives you between 7 and 8 hours in bed with no distractions, lights out. Even if you can't fall asleep easily just disciplining yourself to stick to this schedule will help. I can't stress how important it is to not use your phone in bed, no books either. If you're going to read before bed then do it before your scheduled bed time and make sure you have a reminder set to tell you when you need to drop what you're doing and go to bed. Set an alarm to wake yourself up and try to stick to it even if you didn't get much sleep. You'll be tired but that should make it easier to fall asleep the next night. If you can get this routine locked in then the rest of the habits will be much easier to stick to.
Show HN: Tauri (Rust+Svelte) = Terminal
Terminal built with Tauri (Rust+Svelte).
I got this idea of creating a terminal that is more user friendly having autocomplete suggestions. I couldn’t create a suggestions engine that would work for all commands. But I defined a structure (a state machine in src/cli/library/library.ts) that can be used to determine the next suggestions. The good part with this approach is that it is possible to have custom script based suggestions. For example if we write in the terminal “git checkout” and after we press Space, a dropdown will appear with all available branches. The bad part is that it will take some time to add more supported commands in this “library”.

Another feature is that in the bottom bar of the terminal we can have custom script based information. In .manter.json we can define a script that will generate this information. The script will be executed each time the prompt appears.

On the front-end are used web technologies which offer a flexibility to add any feature and style that we want.

Twitter's 2021 wasn't really that bad. They increased revenue about 37% year-over-year to $5 billion, at a loss of $220M.

In the pumped-up investment environment of 2021, that kind of relatively small loss was an acceptable trade-off for such high growth.

The revenue collapse of 2022 is clearly almost entirely due to the new ownership who did their best to destroy advertiser trust, first by spending six months disparaging the company, then by indiscriminately firing moderation and ad sales teams.
This addon[1] is very, very close to the way chrome handles having different profiles. That is what I'm using to separate my work vs personal browsing.

Smart, i mainly use libgen (legally) and project gutenberg to achieve a similar albeit digital (ereader) result.

Bought a 1985 britannica set (200,000+ pages) for a mere $30.
i'm using ublock origin in chromium for desktop linux and firefox for desktop linux
I'd like to use FF but I've never been able to figure out how to replicate something Safari does that's ingrained in my fingers at this point.

In Safari, I can use command+1-9 to open bookmarks. So command+1 is my PRs, command+2 is the JIRA board for the current sprint, etc.
I honestly don't think there is much difference between each major browsers nowadays, so just pick whatever you like.

I personally go full utilitarianism about the tools/software I use, so I can't care less about the companies behind them.

I was an avid Firefox user since version 1.5, simply because it was objectively superior than competitors and way more polished (at the time, other browsers like IE didn't even have tabs).

Then Chrome came out, which was indeed blazingly fast but the feature set just wasn't there (in both basic features and the extension scene. It didn't even have a proper multi-language font setting which was a deal breaker for me).

A few years past, XUL-based Firefox became unbearably slow (it didn't help that I have 50+ addons), and Chrome was steadily catching up in every aspect. Right before Firefox's transition to Quantum, I couldn't take it any more and started to use Chrome primarily.

After 57, Firefox Quantum was obviously great, but at that point I just didn't have any reason to switch back. All the heavy lifting parts (webext) are the same, so it's down to some minor details, which TBH, I'm getting used to the "Chrome way".

The final nail in the coffin of Firefox for me, is its development. I'm not a professional software developer, and lack the ability to contribute code to large open source projects like browsers. So instead, I tried my best to help by reporting bugs. I've filed at least 50~100 tickets on both Mozilla's bugzilla and chromium's trackers.

I hate to say it, but I can see the sheer difference between the maintenance effort of the two projects, even in basic triage. I understand the two companies are not really comparable in their sizes, but Firebox's is declining hard. It was much better several years ago. More and more bug tickets are not touched by anyone. Legit problems got closed for no reason. Sometimes you can even spot management-level interference despite clear objection from users and even internal developers, which I would think I should see more on Chrome's end. Filing bugs about Firefox no longer feel fulfilling or even fun, because I KNEW if it's a minor issue, it won't get fixed in years, if at all (hell, it took them 5+ years to fix something major like full-range video playback). I just don't have faith in its future.
It’s always interesting to find what businesses will do to lower these. My favorite is Converse sneakers.

Websocket is not very good for online games because it's TCP based, also there are millions of websockets library in every languages.
>At that time, many people in Britain opposed income tax, on principle, because the disclosure of personal income represented an unacceptable governmental intrusion into private matters, and a potential threat to personal liberty.

Looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

I'd love to be able to enable DRM for a single container. Until then, I have to continue with profiles.
Firefox is my primary browser at present but definitely has annoyances:

- unable to close pinned tabs without custom extensions
- unable to undo close open tabs after closing last window (also solved with extension)
- pins itself to taskbar and install desktop icon on every install
- I prefer how downloads' progress is handled in Chrome better
- Not all settings are synchronized (esp. around privacy), making it very hard to configure computers the same consistently

Favorite extensions:

- Vimium
- Undo Close Tab
- Shortkeys (using it specifically to move tabs around)
- Aardvark Duex

I wouldn't take any comfort from that. Quite the opposite — I think we're a lot simpler than we know.

Yeah, random guy shows up and says 'I belong here' with zero proof that he belongs there. Yeah SoP would be arrest/detain them and let the guy in charge sort it out. Or as they say 'thats above my pay grade'. The alternative would be to let random people in and hope for the best. If I were a spy I would like the 'hope for the best' style of perimeter control.

But as you clearly admit it is (was) in fact uncontrolled immigration. I think your political biases are coloring this. It's a statement of fact. You believe it's a negatively "spun" fact because it is, in fact, a negative to basically everyone. Unlimited immigration cannot work because, even putting cultural issues to one side, you can't build unlimited infrastructure at unlimited speed.
They're talking about mobile. Since Apple doesn't let browsers use their own engine, uBlock Origin doesn't work on Firefox for iOS, only on Firefox for Android. On the desktop, it works everywhere.
Fair enough - you’re clearly an empathetic person and I appreciate the sentiment. Dropping the whole side issue of what “the ability to benefit from education” is or how innate it might be: my main concern was that this sounds like you want to invent new jobs for those people.

Why not… not have jobs? In your opinion, is a job necessary for one to have “purpose”?

Edit: also side note but telling people they’re “triggered” because they disagree with you comes off as condescending IMO
I said nothing about the application and you already know everything about it.

Seems like I spent quarter of century in this business for naught.
It would be interesting to see what caused the ban and what will be done by Cloudflare to prevent this from happening in the future. It is good that your issue got solved but I hope others that don't know about HN can also benefit from a more structural fix.
I clicked on your links but I don't really understand what it is I'm meant to be seeing. I haven't read a balance sheet since college, but things look pretty normal to me? Is the objection that about 2% of their expenses are on Grants and donations? Is it that they make revenue through a VPN subscription they offer? Is it that their taxes show spending about $14 million (a drop on the bucket) on policy programming (mostly it seems about building the Common Voice dataset and funding external data scientists to work on data stewardship policy stuff; these feel, I think, like what you're suggesting that it's fine for Brave to do because they're "technical problems"?)

I read -- skimmed, but I think that's fair -- through a dozen pages to try to understand your point and nothing jumped out at me. There's a part where they talk about how they made a few thousand dollars from credit card rewards points. I did a ctrl+f for "woke" and "transgender" and "critical race theory" and "covid vaccination" and "cico versus macro-based dieting strategies" and didn't find anything. It's a little frustrating because I spent more time trying to figure out your point than you spent to make it.
Because if productivity can be achieved with less people, and even intellectual work is not protected from machines, people will become redundant for the creation of economic value.
That's the advantage of being Google, GitHub, or Cloudflare.
It’s an acceptable form of support as long as it’s reliable.
> You should look for yourself at Mozilla’s financials if you don’t agree with my politics.

It has nothing to do with your politics, but I shall continue to not care about Mozilla's financials.
However, you can force through the change if you are Google, GitHub, or Cloudflare. The users will still complain, but where will they go?
Snopes isn't even trustworthy anymore. Reddit? Ideologically slanted. It's not so much moderated as outright censored. You don't notice it most of the time, but on certain topics only one perspective is allowed. It's not just on some subs, it's the platform.
Well except to the ones that died from it.
That's kind of what we (collective "we" — eggheads) are often accused of: blinders, tunnel vision, or perhaps even ego or callousness to develop these things in spite of the rather dystopian ramifications.

I use Firefox sort of begrudgingly. It's marginally less bad than the other options, but it's still an awful browser.

I vehemently disagree with almost all of its design decisions, and with every new release they seem to stray even farther from sane UX.

It has hamburger menus on desktop and a lot of weird space-saving design that makes no sense on a modern high resolution display. Buttons are small, have cryptic flat Linear B icons with no labels, and the menus are hard to navigate.

It's also nearly impossible to disable all the tracking they do. Even if you do, they'll sometimes remotely change your settings, so there's no guarantee settings will stay the way you configured them. They love to talk about how privacy is important and keep building tools to disable other people's tracking, but their own data gathering is sacrosanct and must be retained at all costs.

Overall Mozilla seems to wage an all-out war on user agency, constantly trying to take away configuration options, while pushing shit nobody wants like Pocket or their themes.
> Can anyone help with this?

I don't have any assistance to give, only that I recently had some FB login trouble myself, and maybe they should contact FB support. They might be required to provide some legal ID (another colleage who had to access a hacked account had to do this)

I only came to say that Facebook engineering seems broken. There does seem to be a lack of quality control in the company, and it shows up in weird edge cases like this.

I expect more threads on this in the future when it becomes harder to ignore.

I have also used this strategy with great success.

If there is micro-management, where people are looking at numbers and times of commits or ticket updates or whatever instead of outcomes and impact, it only makes sense to give them what they (think they) want.

In terms of standup updates, if the audience wants some 5 minute summary, it can be given, it doesn't need to be reflective of the reality of the past 24 hours, it could include some content saved up from previous days, etc.
I stopped paying for cloudflare after their support team was unable to debug why one of my rewrite conditions wasn't working. I provided them full details like for kindergarden, but they replied after days saying it's working on their end, lol. I deeply respect the cloudflare tech and the dev team, but support sucks and i don't trust cloudflare anymore. I won't pay even a single cent, even if they would have stellar support from now on. After reading all these cloudflare stories lately, and knowing how they treated me, i don't care about them anymore. Someone should write a "you probably dont need cloudflare" article. I'm disgusted by these kind of companies that grow large and they stop caring for the people who were there with them from day 1.

Google is the absolute worst at this, their 'risk based' login stuff is utter crap, and when you go travelling expect to get locked out and have no recourse because there is no-one to complain to.

Honestly, you would think a multi-billion dollar company could do better, but apparently because its "algorithms", "machine-learning" and a "free service" its okay to be shit.
I was reading elsewhere that it doesn't supersede, rather S 162 can't be used by 'startups.' Startup meaning the business hasn't actually started selling anything. So if you're generating sales related to the software, then S 162 applies.

Who downvoted? I wasnt able to provide more details at the moment (appointments), but as you can see, I wasn't the only one who says this.

I know I ideally should have provided more details, though every reports counts and the author recognizes. Plus the fact I add a modern browser in the description he figured this might be the case. Thanks.

Anywhere I can follow-up perhaps? Since the buttons don't work I can't actually interact. Will test tomorrow if the desktop browser of Vivaldi does the same.
All of that is well known surely, it's still the site owners choice, including whether to block tor traffic which is often the source of these issues.

That sounds more or less the same as everything AWS produces.
This is the height of knee-jerk reactions, worse still it's largely pointless. Unless you're big enough to negotiate a specific contract with a cloud provider you're always going to be at the mercy of their catch-all policy.

The only way to actually be protected in this case is to run a multi-cloud strategy. Even then it's only going to protect you so far if you piss off the powers-that-be / community (see the hosting trouble Parler had as an example, not that I'm fond of Parler or anything).

> you as a parent should be thinking about

I'm sure you mean it well, but verbatim, you are in no position to tell me what I should be thinking about, especially as a parent.

I sympathise with your view, but I haven't seen a single anti vax or fiat earth snippet. There is a really nice Canadian lady who builds stuff out of Lego, I quite enjoy it.
I was thinking the same, given that Teller, Sakharov et. al. came up with, but discarded as unworkable, several designs (the "Classical Super", the "Layer Cake"...) before they discovered that, unfortunately, there was a way to make it work. My guess is that the X-ray pulse from a buried bomb would be quickly absorbed (it is quite rapidly attenuated just by air), and that whatever X-rays reached the second bomb would all be from one direction, ruining the symmetry that is apparently needed for fusion ignition.

On the other hand, I have heard that a non-trivial part of the yield of a hydrogen bomb comes from the fast neutrons from the fusion causing a much more complete fissioning of the fissile material. Maybe, if the buried bomb was not damaged to the point where it was incapable of fusion ignition, the second bomb would contribute to the explosion in this way, without acting as a hydrogen bomb itself. With a high enough neutron flux from the first bomb, maybe the core of the second one would not have to undergo implosion, or even stay intact.

The article also talks about a 17-mile kill zone, and the creation of a new "North Carolina bay" despite the crash being 50 miles from Pamlico Sound. These seem to me to be incompatible claims, and surely the second, at least, must be hyperbole?

There's marketing and then there's using. Obviously they do restrict certain apps like Tinder and PH, but it's only those that are exclusively 18-over (and Epic since the fine).

Other apps like FB, TikTok, XBox and the rest that no child should go near (or anyone else for that matter) gives a prompt with something along the lines of "Ask your parents for permission". If I say OK, either from my account or by logging in on hers, the app is installed and can be used, even though her profile is under 13. They don't market to kids, but it's still available and still shows up in search.

It would be great if these legal actions do show real restriction for all apps that are rated 13-over, but then no more tablets for kids. That's going to cost manufacturers and ad-driven apps a ton of money so I don't see it happening outside of the FCC going directly after Apple and Google.

I've been a supporter of Wikileaks for many years, and I think that the idea that attacking journalists for publishing evidence is a uniquely Republican thing is disproved by what I've seen.

Most of which you won't have seen, of course.

One of the fact checkers given a prominent position on the front page of Google News is polygraph.info. Polygraph.info is run by Voice of America, official propaganda organ of the US, which was until a few years forbidden by law from targeting US citizens.

Now I ask you: do you think it was for reasons of popular pressure, or maybe market forces, that Voice of America became a featured fact-checker for Google News?

Also, do you think I could get them to fact check claims like, "The CIA considered concrete plans to assassinate Julian Assange"? You think that would ever happen, that they honestly promoted a little known fact which was deeply embarrassing to the US government?

I find no good faith there.

Maybe they have the luxury of less actual lying, because as a hegemonic propagandists, they can just stonewall when someone asks them an awkward question. Pretend they didn't hear it, because no one will report it.

Underdog propagandists like RT don't have that luxury, so it's more efficient to conjure up a shitstorm of mutually incompatible lies for them. But their role is the same.
