I've started liking evcxr (https://github.com/google/evcxr) for REPL. It's a little slow compared to other REPLs, but still good enough to be usable after initial load.
> Buttons are small...

I don't understand this criticism. How often do you actually have to use those buttons? At best, once in a long while. So given that, why not make the buttons unobtrusive.
No fear of recession. Keep up raising rates and wrecking the economy.
The U.S. added 517,000 jobs in January, much better than 187,000 expected
Some of those things are sorted out easily with Librewolf (patched Firefox) and Arkenfox (drop-in user.js configuration).

Both are easy and encouraged to customize but also work fine out of the box.
For the branch-switching usecase you might get some milage out of sccache [1]. For local storage it's just one binary and two lines of configuration to have a cache around rustc, so it's worth testing out.

I wonder if you could use GPT3 to also do the reverse and just get the version of what people really mean, and in the end everyone uses both and it just cancels each other out
You probably want to consider live streaming the event which means using something with clean HDMI out or a USB webcam mode, along with a dedicated capture device/computer. At that point you can just dump a recording of any size to disk.
Is it? I remember reading [1] back in the day, which showed some limitations of GPT3, but ChatGPT actually answers all of those perfectly.

Occasionally, the first page takes 30+ second to load. I am on Lubuntu 20.04 and only have ublock extension active.

Usually to "fix it" (bringing time to below 10s), Hamburger Menu -> Help -> More troubleshooting information -> Clear Startup Cache. Also making sure my dns/network is up by pinging successfully a external website before launching Firefox.

But sooner or later startup time will creep-up again. I'm not quite sure what's happening. Maybe it's trying to load various file from disk (and not the SSD), or waiting for some blocking network request. I guess maybe I'll get luckier when I'll migrate to 22.04. My chrome is completely broken and cannot be installed at all since I've inactivated Snap forever for botching the migration process from 18.04 to 20.04.
There are a few more fundemental missing pieces for me:

- It's impossible to describe a type that "implements trait A and may or may not implement trait B"

- It's impossible to be generic over a trait (not a type that implements a trait, the trait itself)
> Chrome extensions are also thriving

Yeah, especially with Manifest v3 :) https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/chrome-users-beware-ma...
Yeah.

I think part of the problem is that if all they're doing with their browser is to emulate Chrome, they'll never be more than a Chrome clone.
U.S. economy adds whopping 517,000 jobs in January
I think what you're showing here is the safety net that protects them if they make some missteps trying to execute what's covered by other policies. But it seems like the heart of your cancellation is the interpretation of 2.8, i.e. them deciding (probably in an automated way) that the stuff you were serving via API (significant volumes of trading data, I'd gather) does not qualify as web content.

It's definitely an unfriendly combo to have (a) a really ambiguous policy like 2.8 and (b) enforcing via a no-warning cutoff -- even if the two policies have good justifications individually. But I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that part (b) is part of the sales strategy. (Part (a) obviously is meant to incentivize a paid account for applications like yours.)
The job market doesn't show much of a recession brewing. Unemployment rate fell, with 517,000 new jobs instead of the expected 187,000.

The real reason for Amazon's unprofitable year is in the article.

Can you give an example of something JS heavy that is slow in Firefox? I haven't encountered something like that in a very long while.
Guess we don't have to worry about AI taking that job, then.
Holy crap thank you!

I have to log into multiple Microsoft365 tenants and it drove me crazy with the amount of signing OUT I needed to do when switching accounts, to the point where my crappy workaround was to use different browsers for each account (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Brave, etc) but I started to run out of different browsers.

This multi-account container extension is a godsend
Depends on who you (want to) work with.

I think about it this way: co-operation depends on trust and shared values, the lack of which hinders or prevents this.

Every one of us is a bag of values, and some of these will often intersect with some of those we work with. Since team work is an active act of co-operation, it makes more sense for me to actively share those values that are broadly in agreement with those that will improve the work relationship.
They're already off to a bad start with the Chinese surveillance balloon hovering over the US in the first place. Incredibly awkward. This kind of thing is not normal. That's why it's front page news. Well within rights to shoot it down or render it inoperable.
Intro to Financial Markets, taught by Burton Malkiel.

As an impressionable 20 year old with no background in finance, it introduced me to passive investing, Vanguard, the efficient market theory and the power of compound interest.

It's funny, 20+ years later I still think back to some specific lectures in his class whenever I encounter the CAPM or Black-Scholes in my day job. Prof. Malkiel helped me develop a healthy skepticism about claims in finance that has served me really well in my career and my personal finances.
I think there's one huge difference. TV gets boring, fast. The only time it would remain remotely entertaining was Saturday morning. And even that would get boring relatively quickly. And so you end up turning to other things to entertain yourself, or just be bored. Both of which are probably much better for one's development.

YouTube can probably provide entertainment to a child for an arbitrary length of time, on demand, anywhere. So I don't think it's especially comparable to TV. It also seems to trigger behavior that seems borderline addictive in many people - let alone children. Ultimately I expect online media of this sort will probably be treated in a way analogous to something like drugs or gambling, whereas right now we're just living through "Let's put cocaine in everything, because it feels goooooood!" phase.
Amazon’s investment in building out a delivery business is suicide.

The cost-effectiveness of a fast delivery network is related to the volume it moves. If there is always a full truck heading in the right direction packages don’t waste time and money sitting in warehouses. If every other retailer is helping UPS and FedEX fill their trucks, Flavor Flav will be singing “Amazon Prime is a joke in yo’ town”

Amazon is big but it is not big enough to be the best.
Sounds a lot like General Ripper.
That's it exactly; surprise egg videos get repeat views, kids open them up and just hyperfocus and/or zone out on them for hours on end; it's low energy watching. Give them something intellectualy stimulating though, and they'll have brain drain after a while and be too tired to keep watching that kind of content. Bad for revenue, it's better to have them accrue those minutes watched counters all the time.
I’ve got a couple of dev accounts on Twitter and I still don’t think I’ve received an email about this. I wonder how many people will find out about this for the first time when their app breaks.

Can you provide some links to show how you got that idea?
Lots of the comments here get at the reason, which is import taxes, but there's confusion about the impact of it on the high-end camera market. Most professional setups that use "still" cameras are running them into a video mixer (like Blackmagic ATEM) which connects to a computer. You can record directly onto disk and stream live at the same time using free software like OBS. The camera just sits with its shutter open but doesn't record anything, thus there's no time limit. The Sony A7 series is quite popular for this application. What I'm describing is kind of the tip of the iceberg in terms of video capture complexity.
To be fair, the transfer side is already HTTP which already has the transfer encoding support (client and server) so it should be transparent as l long as standards compliant clients are in use (the default ones always are in terms of transparent decoding) and CDNs are perfectly capable of caching the compressed response afaik.

The main simplification is that there’s less work on the current side at scale - the file you download is the file you checksum. That’s different if package maintainers have to do it manually for each package.

Can you say more about the endless zeroes attack? Are you thinking about finding a sha256 collision? You have to keep computing the sha256 for every new byte which is expensive. And if that ever becomes practical, the ecosystem will switch to 384, 512 or 512/256. But sure, storing file size + hash is generally a good idea to make it that much harder (in practice no one bothers and this advice would apply regardless of compression or not because the expensive bit is the digest computation to find a collision)
I've tried in both Firefox and Chrome and getting the same issue. I assume settings holds that magic that makes the network requests because right now none are being made.

Edit: Turned off privacy badger and then it started making requests on Firefox.
> asking insurers to distinguish this case

It's a strange idea to me. Public insurance in Ontario, Canada makes coverage decisions at a high level, such as whether a drug or procedure will be insured. If it's covered, physicians make the decision. Some medications are restricted to specialists (only infectious disease experts can prescribe HIV antvirals and have it covered, for example). And some are limited use, i.e. for specific indications the physician needs to tick off.

Neither fraud detection nor abnormal prescribing need the power to review and potentially deny individual prescriptions. If a particular doctor is prescribing all weird and not to typical norms, that can be addressed directly.
How many adults would eat happily if you took their phones and TV away? I reckon most of them would get just as perturbed and restless as the kids. I think it’s fairly normal really and we only find it odd because it’s an ipad now… I always had a book at the dinner table as a kid, there’s the stereotype of dad reading the paper at the breakfast table, many families eat dinner with the TV on, restaurants give kids activity menus, etc.
To be clear: all of this happens when the device is set up by the parent to mark it explicitly as kids' device? I've never seen such things before.

When I was a kid, knowing what year to put in a DOB form to put yourself safely over 18 y.o. was the most basic "Internet 101" life skill, second only to knowing where to type a website address.
Who in their right mind would trust twitter with anything more 512 character banal musings after this tumultuous year? Mobile payments or secure messaging? Yikes!
Interesting timeline, seems the MIT License came out a few years before the GPL. I wonder if/what discussions RMS had with the authors of the MIT License at that time when he was crafting the GPL.

Chrome also has objectively better performance (https://www.phoronix.com/news/Firefox-Chrome-109-Benchmarks), especially for 3D performance. I'm sure on modern machines both browsers are more than fast enough, but I'm not quite sure why everyone seems to think firefox is faster.

On the other hand, I feel like the nyxt browser (https://nyxt.atlas.engineer) has a spot on HN, its very much like emacs in the sense everything is just Common Lisp you can redefine. Its definitely still considerably slower than chrome and firefox, webkit doesn't perform all too well.

China is not exactly pure as the driven snow. Glass houses.
This "proof" is actually a pretty good manifestation of the current limitations of GPT3; it mangles together two different proofs in a way that does not make sense.

It starts by setting up for an elementary proof (a/b = sqrt(2) with a, b minimal implies 2|a^2 implies 2|a implies 4|a^2 implies 2|b^2 implies 2|b which is a contradiction). But instead of following through it finishes using another proof based on the rational root theorem, and makes up some bullshit on the way to make the argument flow nicely (it does not follow from a^2 / b^2 = 2 with no common factors that 2 is a perfect square).

And you'll have to remember that curating content won't be possible forever. At some point they will be alone with an unlocked device and the internet, probably much sooner than you're comfortable with.

We've got filters set up at home; they worked fine for a while, but teenagers are easily impressed and soon we had to add stock photo websites to these filters. Then there's free VPN services, going around the (consumer grade) filters and time limits entirely.

Next up, schools give kids laptops, but they don't have the necessary IT prowess to lock them or the school internet down (and there's unrestricted public wifi everywhere, of course). The amount of shit I've found on there is unreal, and of course the thing breaks because of caggy-handedness.
If being inundated with certain politics at work bothers you to the point that you're thinking of engaging with them, one option might be to look for a smaller, non-tech industry company that operates in the real world. Some small regional company that (for example) repairs and installs AC units doesn't have the staff sitting around constantly sending emails about politics or attending various training sessions. In a normal environment outside of the Silicon Valley bubble, it's a lot easier to ignore politics or even politely engage with people if that's what you want.
Looks nice and I see the value. For those more budget oriented, curious how easy it would be to replicate this with a recliner, weighted stand and monitor arm.
This might not be super to HN's tastes, but during my undergrad I took 2 literature classes that had an enormous impact on my worldview.

The first was a year long British Literature seminar. The professor, Siobhain Bly Calkin, was a brilliant teacher and lecturer. The course was nominally about British literature, but she made the course an incredible historical walk through British history and the history of religion in Europe. Her explanations of religious debates, and the royal bloodline feuds and twists of fate, radically shifted how I viewed European history and how people lived in Europe and the British Isles before the modern age. I've found history classes in general to have an enormous impact on my worldview.

The second was a year long seminar on Modernist Literature. The professor, Dana Dragumoiu, was not the best lecturer, but she was a brilliant scholar and had almost unreasonably high expectations for everyone in the class. Everyone got Cs and Ds on their first essay, which came to a shock to many, but then she methodically worked with us to improve our arguments and writing skills. It felt like learning to read all over again. She taught me, and my fellow classmates, to exceed the minimum and to excel through hard work, she believed in us in a way that is very rare in academia (she considered us as adults) and I can attest that it was very satisfying.
It's funny, any other post on HN about improvements to Rust I've seen are chock full of comments to the effect of "I guess that feature is nice, but when will they improve the compile times?" And now many of the replies to this post are "Faster compiles are nice, but when will they improve/implement important features?"

The Rust dev team can't win!
Kiwi browser also has ublock (and supports adding any desktop add-on) and still does not crash or slow down like firefox does. I'd really like to use firefox in mobile too but with Kiwi being an option, there's almost 0 reason to use firefox.

It isn’t just Eton - it’s many or most of the old British public schools. I went to one, and the scars run deep - as does the will to power and the desire to hurt others as I was hurt. It was a brutal environment, a panopticon in which you learned to bend systems and people to your will, in which you learned you had to stab your friend in the back before they did the same to you, as the rules of the game mandate it. Discipline was relentless, and was largely enforced through cooption of pupils. You were not a name, you were a number. The purpose was to churn out colonial administrators, who now have no colonies to go and quietly exercise their depravity out of view.

I’ve worked and am continuing to work on healing or soothing some of the wounds inflicted in my time at elite boarding schools - but I can’t say the same for the rest of my cohort, who are now generally busy running the U.K. or burning down rainforest for profit or whatever it is this week.
If your arch has a single point of a failure its probably wise to remove it
If the buttons are small, they are harder to click. It's also harder to understand what they do, which is important when they have icons that are just cryptic monochrome squiggles.

What's the merit in making the buttons unobtrusive? What are you going to do with all those saved pixels? There is no pixel shortage on desktop! That's a mobile design consideration.

When the browser is covering a sixth of my screen it's already uncomfortably large. There is no reason to save hundreds of pixels when there are literally millions to spare.
I think the paper showing that Twitter activity slightly predicted stock movements was incredibly interesting and valuable to know. I'm sure there are plenty of other papers as well, like analyses of Arab spring?

Ironically, as production of hydrogen increases and therefore the availability increases and price drops, more and more industries will want to make use of it, reducing availability as well.

This post is over a year old. Requiring Manifest v3 has been indefinitely postponed. There are arguments for using Firefox, but if people keep crying wolf about Manifest v3 before it hits and has a negative impact, especially over such a long timespan, it loses its impact.

Update for anyone who finds this thread: Both Twilio and Plivo offer self-service APIs to find out which carrier a US number is routed to. Query for the source number of an SMS spam or the number that a robocall tells you to call back on, then email your abuse report to the carrier.

For Twilio: Per https://www.twilio.com/docs/lookup/v2-api/line-type-intellig..., include the query parameter "Fields=line_type_intelligence". That param will make the API response populate the key "CarrierName".

For Plivo: As noted in another reply, Plivo's Lookup API returns carrier info. Per https://www.plivo.com/docs/lookup/api/response#response-exam..., responses include the carrier name by default.
