My partner swears by Converse, but hers seem to get knackered within a year anyway.

I think I just walk quite a lot, comparatively.
Opposite experience here. Long time Firefox user and in the past 3 years it's gotten incredibly bad for me as sites have gone more JS heavy, and video in particular has become a huge problem for my Firefox install it seems. Major sites like Youtube (~25% of videos get an error, forcing me to open in chrome), Reddit (yeah this one sucks for everyone, but at least loads on chrome if you have a high end pc+connection, which i do) and Instagram can't be reliably used for watching video. For years i used Firefox with a bunch of privacy/security-hardening settings but I've had to undo a lot of it to even use the web as of recent as the number of broken websites was getting too ridiculous.

I avoid GPL projects because I am a software developer and the idea of the project dictating how I can release my own source is a big FU to me. If I can find software that is licensed with a non restrictive license I will always support it over anything that is GPL. I have had a few projects I was very interested in and considered helping out on, but the GPL license is a non starter for me.

If you have to redefine the word "FREE" to mean freedom and your license is several pages of lawyer speak, then that is a problem.

What's really at risk beyond succumbing to the "social predator"? Say "strait laced" grandpa throws on grandma's frilly dress for the first time and goes for a stroll down the street. It doesn't cost anything and, for the sake of discussion, isn't anything he wouldn't otherwise do in his own clothing.

The only risk is that his social contacts start to cut him out of their life for his actions (i.e. social predators).
As I have gotten older, I have noticed a lot of people conflate 'boring' and 'stable.'

One of my friends who would air a complaint that everyone is 'so boring' is the same person that can't hold a job and still uses all sorts of drugs. When I was young, I would find myself attracted to potential partners even if they lacked stability. Now I can't even imagine that.

Stability is a great thing to have in life, but the price you pay for stability is having a plan and knowing what comes next. That might make it boring, but I'll make that trade every time.

Edit: spelling
Compaction is where you take a chunk of messages and replace them with a single message.

For example, one of the DriftDB demos is a counter (https://demos.driftdb.com/counter). State is synchronized by putting increment/decrement events into a stream. When a new user connects, their client get all the messages in the stream, plays them back, and arrives at the same state as everyone else.

If that’s all we did, over time, the stream would grow unruly. It would take ages to load the page because we’d have to load every state change. But we only really care about a single numeric value. Compaction takes a chunk of messages that look like this:

{"apply":"increment"}
{"apply":"increment"}
{"apply":"decrement"}
{"apply":"increment"}

And replaces them with a message that looks like this:

{"reset":2}

DriftDB doesn’t know how to compute the compaction, it relies on clients to do that. When a client does something that increases the length of the stream, the server sends back the new length of the stream, so that the client can decide whether to compact it (i.e. if it passes some threshold).

The important part that I haven’t seen elsewhere is that when a client compacts the stream, it includes a sequence number of the last message that’s part of the compaction. The server will preserve messages greater than that sequence number, since they are not part of the compaction.

Depends on usage.

I use distinct profiles for testing, but during the day, I open versions of the site for personal and work for example. Or at work for different clients.

It depends on workflow IMO. There are uses for both.

Google was once considered trustworthy. It never was, but we thought it trustworthy. Where can you find a trustworthy source for software? Depends on your platform.
Linux: Your package manager. In my case, apt.
Mac: Apple has an app store of its own. Use that, or one of the BSD package management systems ported over.
Ios: Apple app store is decently curated.
Android: Google's app store is terribly curated. Give up now.
Windows: Nobody uses whatever app store or package management system that microsoft developed. A third party developed a useful package management system. It is called Steam.
Other platforms: see replies below.
While your values may shape your political opinions, hopefully they are quite separate.
The average of one murder per murderer I'd generally agree with, but one of the Eton murderers killed 9 before committing suicide. So you are right to have qualms. But it is an upper bound and so still useful.

That said, one correction. El Salvador had a murder rate in 2017 of 61.7/100,000. This is comparable to Eton.

Let's take your analysis a step farther. If we have 230 * 30 people, each of whom has 1.1 chances in 100,000 of committing murder, the number of expected murderers is 0.0759. And the distribution of number of murders is a Poisson distribution. That means that the probability of k murders is λ^k e^(-λ) / k!.

Therefore our estimates are:

0 murderers = 0.9269088928142737
1 murderers = 0.07035238496460337
2 murderers = 0.0026698730094066973
3 murderers = 6.754778713798945e-05

Add those up and the expected probability of 4 or more murderers is only 1.3014245782150269e-06.

Therefore, even with a small absolute number, we can be very sure that the true murder rate for graduates of Eton are significantly higher than the UK population.

However Eton does attract people internationally. And the international murder rate in 2017 was 6.1/100,000 per https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/murder-ra.... Using that as a murderer rate, the odds against Eton producing 4 murderers in 30 years improve...to about 1/1000. Which means that Eton's murders are still likely to not be chance.

PowerPC is one of the 11 hardware architectures on which we regularly test Blink using Qemu https://github.com/jart/blink/blob/c8dbbc8cf553680ab48d8a304... so my guess would be yes. However it depends on how old the Mac software is. Blink currently assumes modern POSIX system calls are available, e.g. fstatat(), O_CLOEXEC, etc. i.e. you currently need a host operating system published after ~2010ish. That could change in the future if we end up writing a ./configure script.
Yay. I'm glad to hear more and more folks are moving back to Firefox. It really is the best browser IMO. Like you said, it's fast, stable, has all my extensions and gets out of my way. Love it.

Basically no country with substantial resources looks at things this way except America. They all either have government owned drilling companies or the companies that do exist pay substantial royalties to the government. I agree with it but from most country’s perspective it doesn’t really make sense to let all the oil wealth which was not really invented or require any work to go to a bunch of foreigners or <20 locals who got lucky.
If anyone was truly as "equally talented" as John Carmack, they wouldn't remain unknown for very long. Plus, you can be extremely successful without having to be a celebrity, and John was always going to be successful.
I wouldn't say it indicates there's a mess, just that there's clearly some sort of broken process somewhere.

1. The customer is deplatformed without any notice

2. Customer support is failing to act on a false positive in a prompt manner and the customer has no recourse but to kick up a stink publicly

Both of those are fixable problems and I agree that it's generally a positive to see a company's CTO act in so public a manner. That doesn't mean they shouldn't try to improve things from an internal process perspective though.
I have a feeling it was either omniweb or icab. But I’m probably wrong. And anyway, tabs existed in other applications before browsers adopted, rather than invented, them. Right?
Analog hole.
There is Go, too.
Income from capital is generally lower in low-interest regimes. We probably saw inflation in asset classes such as housing and stock as a result of monetary oversupply and cheap access to capital. Not factoring in such things into inflation is a question the Fed would have to address.

With a sufficient social net and minimum wages, even poorly qualified have good negotiation power. No offense, but I’m also not sure how paying 30 USD/h to somebody who doesn’t speak the language and is performing low complexity work is doing society any good. I live in Europe and there is no way anybody would come for house cleaning, shopping or whatnot below that - because they are just better off with free housing, free healthcare, free schooling and money on top.

I wasn’t talking about wage inflation. I don’t want to age either. Nobody does.
> But on the other hand, I feel like the current stance of the fed - "raise the rates to stop hot employment and wage growth" - is a cop out. Inflation control is the second of their two mandates, employment is the first.

This is the real reason we need a proper, comfortable safety net and higher minimum wages. In my opinion it is very good to lower the wages of higher wage earners in order to raise interest rates, and just buffer the large number of marginal people (America the beautiful, can't afford to get a tooth pulled) who would actually suffer with transfer payments.

But even if you don't believe that, lower-income people have a higher exposure to inflated prices simply because all of their income goes to consumption. So they should be supplemented.
And you are young enough and tech-savvy enough to know about all these mechanisms, you made a mistake because you were in a hurry or distracted.

Think of how many people (older and/or not technically proficient) fall in this same trap everyday.

Since ads are paid for (and an invoice is made for the payment), google could well verify the id of the people placing the ad and the correspondence with the "real" organization/website.

They send postcards with a code to verify addresses/titolarity for google business profiles:

and they don't double and triple check ads for banks and similar?

Why yes, because stories of tech layoffs and stocks buybacks were the focus earlier in the week. Now these same investors wake up to some news about low wage job growth and all of a sudden their sky is falling again and the market shrinks like a petulant child throwing a temper tantrum.
Everything that pushes the state of the art has challenges. With the development of on-shore wind farms you are probably looking at 3-5 years timeline even in quite bureaucratic countries. With nuclear, it is at least 5x that and nuclear might never pay for itself without subsidy and it might go Three Mile Island, Chernobyl or Fukushima on you. Nobody sane is going to insure or finance the power plant without strong guarantees from the government.

I would like for nuclear to be more competitive but the industry was cornered (has cornered itself) into so much bureaucratic overhead it is hard to almost impossible to do any kind of innovation in anything nuclear and make aggressive deadlines needed in order to be competitive while being safe/ robust and on budget. A falling 500 meter tall wind turbine is really bad. It might kill some people. A failure at a nuclear power plant might relocate whole cities and make life a living hell for thousands of people and the land basically uninhabitable for decades.
There are a lot of people who just want privacy wherever they can get it. It's not necessarily something nefarious, but the result of the question "Does this person need to know who I am? No. Therefore there is nothing to gain and only something to lose by telling them."
User time is the amount of CPU time spent actually doing things. Unless you're using spinlocks, it won't include time spent waiting on locks or otherwise sleeping -- though it will include time spent setting up for locks, reloading cache lines and such.

Extremely parallel programs can improve on this, but it's perfectly normal to see 2x overhead for fine-grained parallelism.
I don't understand why this is considered anything other than normal. It's not possible for companies to continue growing forever and it's innevitable that growth will start to slow as the company matures.
I know we’re talking about the macro level, but as an individual stowing your earnings away is certainly a much better idea than blowing a 6 figure income.
It looks like you have unresolved issues (trauma?) from being around alcoholics or people with lack of self control. But I don't. One beer with a meal is not "disgusting" and does not significantly impair an adult either.

As someone who uses wide screens to hold multiple page-shaped windows, sidebars are a no-go. I really like Chrome's recent addition of what they call tab groups; anyone know of equivalent functionality for Firefox?

Thats the queue from the Louisiana Chicken shop 3 doors down.
My perspective looking at them and other options for a bandwidth-heavy, largely non-HTML load a couple years ago:

1) All but the top self-serve plan ($200 at the time) wasn't worth anything for a business past the "finding a market" stage. No SLA at all under that level (at least, at the time)

2) The $200 plan, though, is actually a hell of a bargain. You get a lot for it. If your load is almost all HTML/CSS/JS and some light-ish worker use. And (allegedly, see #5) your bandwidth use isn't crazy high.

3) They basically don't care about serving any need between the top self-serve plan and a ~$5,000-to-start Enterprise plan. If you don't fit in the top self-serve but are under that level...

4) Surprisingly, given their reputation at the lower levels of service, in the Enterprise tier, they weren't competitive on bandwidth. If the main thing you need to do is sling bits, you can do that quite a bit cheaper elsewhere. Overall, they seem to want customers who need lots of their services, not just any one component. If you don't need their various corporate VPN type products and a bunch of other stuff, they're a bad fit.

5) We were told by a competitor that OP's experience is common and is often perceived by customers (their perception, mind you) as a bait and switch (see also: that huge gap between self-service and enterprise, in which they offer no options). Now, the competitor has some self-interest there, but even the non-sales guys on the call instantly kinda smirked and shook their heads when I mentioned CloudFlare.

6) We were told incorrect things by CloudFlare's sales folks. If we'd followed their advice, we might be OP.

You're anthropomorphizing the stock market into some club of mustache twirling billionaire villains.

In reality it's mostly just math in action.

The number one rule of transitioning to contractor is _do not start from zero_. This can't be stressed strongly enough!! The amount of time and energy it takes to get the ball rolling in that space before momentum kicks in is enormous. Hoping to rely on the goodwill of the anonymous masses, and not leaning _extremely_ hard on your existing direct network is absolutely a failure waiting to happen in 99.9% of cases. If you are working full time, and plan to transition, you absolutely should be moonlighting it first and/or have hard contracts in place with your first 'medium/long-term' client already (i.e. not a one-off engagement).

> "Inflation benefits people in debt"

Only if that debt is at fixed rates of interest, like corporate bonds or a fixed-rate mortgage. If your rate is variable, then inflation leads to higher interest rates which increases the cost of servicing that debt.

Note that the US mortgage market is unusual in that 30-year fixed rates are quite common. In most of the world, mortgages are variable-rate, or fixed for much shorter periods.
Ok, let's see your foundation then.

Hilarious you got sales to call you back. I had to ping their CTO after multiple attempts to have sales work with me failed. He finally got them to give me a demo of their zero trust solution. No one ever followed up with me again though. It’s like they don’t want to sell an enterprise (tens of thousands of dollars a year) subscription…

The only sales guy who called me back before the CTO got involved was Kingsley Okoroh out of their UK office. I’m in the states. He even had no idea why no one in the states would call me. Anyway, Kingsley tried hard to help, Kingsley should be their head of sales since no one else cares.
Shhhhh. They already do that with the product design (you can tell “serf” vs “pro” and “last gen” vs “latest” from 10’ away for every Apple product). I would hate to see that leech in to the online communications.
Household saving just slows down the inflation if you’re lucky; it gets spent eventually and reduces the immediate effectiveness at the fed in moderating things. But that assumes people will save, and that isn’t as likely in a situation where people have the opportunity to spend (e.g. restaurants and gyms and theaters are an option)

I think 2020-era inflation is largely a story of stimulus going directly to households, which used that to either spend (chasing too few goods because people were out of work, constraining supply) or save, allowing them to stop working for longer.

You will see lots of stories about people _choosing_ not to work because of COVID or health or whatever - that is a story of savings allowing people to stay out of the labor market. In an economy where supply-demand imbalance is driving up prices, savings may not be all that helpful.

But realistically so much of this inflation happened because the money went to people who didn’t save - they turned around and spent it. This is the argument people used for student loan relief as economic stimulus: these people are poor, so they will turn around and spend what they would have used on their student loans. This is consistent with my personal experience, except now it is happening in an overheated economy.

Giving more money to people living paycheck to paycheck and expecting saving to be the result is an example of missing all the major lessons of the last three years.
