Maybe this was mentioned in the context of embedding third-party resources via CDNs? Until recently people would e.g. often include jQuery from a CDN host, and given that many websites use the same jQuery script browsers would have that file in the cache already, making the site load faster as the browser can use the local version of the file instead of loading it again. Recently browsers started partitioning caches on a domain level, i.e. each second-level domain has it's own cache, so even if jQuery is cached for foo.com the browser won't use that cache if bar.com also requests that exact same file. The reason for that is that people started abusing browser caches for tracking.

That said CDNs are still very useful for a range of functionality such as geographic distribution of content, reducing load to origin servers, DDoS protection and many other applications.

AFAIK `_GLIBCXX_DEBUG` alters ABI to the library, it should be only used with a libstdc++ and all other components compiled with the same flag. Debug iterators, and all that jazz. MSVC users are probably not surprised.

`_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS` does not alter ABI.
This was of course available though inline assembly or code generators from the beginning. So C21 is more complicated for the extra looks-like-prepreprocessor-but-probably-isn't syntax with no increase in expressivity.

I've always thought that until it is actually released, and especially if there is slightly misleading information that it is there but YOU can't try it (but really nobody can but that is downplayed), than it is indistinguishable from long-term vaporware. Both Google's and Bing's announcements currently fall into this.
I would have no problem with that if you paid a sum and got the full game. However the situation we have today is that you pay $60 for what is essentially 10% of the actual game and is constantly milked for the rest of it.

The scenario you're presented is how this situation worked in the past, but today the industry has changed into something else entirely.

One sound usage I read for a digital currency like this is person-to-person instantaneous transfer without having to give IBAN data and waiting 24h.
This is like saying "I don't wear my seatbelt because I've never been in an accident". Safety systems isn't about one or the other, it's about having multiple systems and procedures in place to prevent a disaster. Proper procedures are good, and it's a first line of defense, but humans make mistakes and are imperfect in other ways (Such as not being able to see through fog). Proper procedure in the case of near 0 visibility would be to greatly increase separation between planes, something which wasn't done in this case, and something which would slow down traffic a lot more than passengers and companies like.
According to the PDF, the digital pound is issued by and backed by the bank of england and as such is classed as 'public money' in the same way as cash. You don't need to go begging to a private institution for the privilage of holding a bank account to hold your 'private money' which is effectively backed by the private bank. Private bank goes away, private money goes away. If private banks decide they don't like you any more your life becomes very difficult.

As physical cash goes away the digital pound is meant to plug that gap, plus a load of other things I probably don't understand.
> just because they don't like someone

Way to diminish the hatred she has made a living propagating.
Maybe it was trained on a image set of politicians. I put in a image Dr. Evil doing air quotes and it came up with "FirstName LastName from FirstName LastName in star trek the next generation ( 2005 ) ( 2 0 1 9 )".

FirstName LastName being the name of a politician.
Every time browser freedom comes up, a good solid half of HN commentators claim they want a locked down system for themselves. They want a system they cannot hack on. So when these stories come up, it's more like "Don't Hacker News"

Another minority points out that Linux is hackable and we should all just use that. I assume the number of these comments would be larger if the vast majority of Linux desktop users weren't tinkering with their X configs or fixing something that wildly broke after their update.

If Apple implemented the web without obvious commercially incentivized malicious compliance, I wouldn't care as much if they restricted the browser, but I'd still care, because computing should be open. I am a fan of the Apple that made the 1984 commercial, even if I know now that it was the same marketing shit they always pull. They only cared that it wasn't their monopoly.
This is why I use Linux, where I can have a choice to run MATE for a decade while GNOME, MS/Windows (especially 11) (and Apple too) are destroying their systems (from my viewpoint at least).
How about just 'Quoin' then?
Nice game.

> the move is applied automatically the moment the done does stone_width/2 in a free direction

Shouldn't a move be complete when the stone bumps into a wall and stops moving? I guess you already have the code to detect that event. You can hook the move counter there.

Keyboard navigation is definitely due on a computer. Select a stone with mouse and move with arrows or awsd. We can play two handed. It's much better on a phone now because we can throw stones to walls with a finger.
I've never heard of that happening.
> As physical cash goes away

Ah. I see where this is going now.
I could not know what is best for you. Depends greatly on monitor / lighting situation / work area or reading area.

My eyesight has got ratty even with glasses, I'm due a check up probably two years ago, so if once I used to prefer paper, now a bright monitor works better for myself. I don't read as much as a result but when I do hunt though any pdfs it's via STDU viewer, as it is my go as it opens a good range of document types - I use a portable version.
I have two displays. The horizontal one lets me read two pages at once. The vertical one lets me focus on the one page. The brand names are Dell, Lenovo.

Philips has a two in one display. One of them is E-Ink. If I were shopping I'd look for something like that in E-Ink color.

https://www.yankodesign.com/2022/10/24/philips-2-in-1-monitor-adds-an-adjustable-e-ink-display-for-your-reading-comfort/

The Philips 24B1D5600 has a 23.3-inch 2560×1440 LCD monitor that you
can use for regular stuff, and attached to its right side is a
13.3-inch E INK Carta HD display.

One last thing, monitor screens have buried in their control panel a setting for the display "profile" which you can set to "paper" and there is a tech jargon keyword for automatically dimming the display when much of it is white background color.
TikTok is state sponsored spyware, though. They're getting state money hand over fist. Probably less so now that they've been bootstrapped.

One way I imagine this is that answers will have “helpful” postfixes after them. When the user interacts with the postfix prompts it serves pay-to-play dialogue. Advertisers can just bid on spots in a decision table. Simple example: a user asks “How do I best take care of roses in my location”? The ChatGPT/Bard answer is delivered then analyzed for keywords/themes that someone may want to advertise on. At the end of the answer (These results may be sponsored.

That's the intention yes

> Also worth pointing out that the Pound (like every major fiat currency) is already digital: my bank account is stored in a computer, my payments are all electronic. Sure we still have paper notes but banks aren't backing their deposits with a big stack of those in a vault anywhere.

They are drawing a distinction between private money - issued by banks which may or may not like you - and public money £20 on paper which anyone can hold. Digital pound = public money.

This is a fairly major economic intervention if they go ahead with it. The big difference (in the report they refer to this as private vs public money), is that they are proposing to issue the equivalent of cash, i.e. Asset money, "public money", rather than the liability deposits, "private money" that are created by the commercial banks, when loans are created, and removed when they are repaid, or defaulted on. The vast majority of transactions today, use bank deposits, "private" money in this rather loaded nomenclature.

Because Economics has never really come to grips with how the banking system actually works, there has long been a movement there to replaced the current monetary system, with something that doesn't create and destroy money all the time. Amongst other things, I have seen economists advocate for this, because they believe it would mean that their mathematical models would work properly on the real economy.

It is hard to know what the actual economic impact would be, but it is to put it mildly, a little irresponsible to experiment with the production system like this.
They absolutely do it on major updates when you get the fullscreen "Oh, we need to update your account again" form. If you miss the tiny links "Please don't" in the corner, it'll reset the browser and default search provider.
You don’t need to control an individual. You need to control the population as a whole. Which governments do now, with taxes and other policies.
> Still, this is a good point, would love to see Mozilla support non-GMS Android devices

Well, actually, they "support" non-GMS Android devices in the sense that no Google services are required to run Firefox on Android. But you have to get the APK from unofficial sites like APKpure or APKmirror (trusting you're downloading a non-tampered file) or finding the appropriate build among all the releases in Github.
In the UK it's not only illegal to record, it's also illegal to even listen. https://aviation.stackexchange.com/a/3280

I think the most interesting possibility of a "digital pound" is that it would enable money creation to only be carried out by the Bank of England; it would undermine the ability of regular banks to just create money by issuing loans backed up by nothing more than minimum reserve requirements.
Pretty much already exists. I have no problem doing instant transfers between two different banks in two different countries (EU).
Or two different shapes, because there are too many different color blindnesses.
Board games started marking counters many years ago. Sometimes their colors are so similar even for non color blind people. I couldn't get a black from dark blue counter two nights ago, the light at the table was not great. And yellow looked a pale gray.

Examples for the game: the red stone could have a empty circle mark on the top it, the green one could have a circle with a dot inside. The destination squares would be marked with the empty circle and the dotted circle.
Hmm yes maybe it doesn't exist as-is in English. It's when you just stay at the hotel room alone or with a very small company of people. One would think it'd be nice with no chores etc. But people actually tend to find it very unpleasant after a while.

People like rock stars have something like this and then it increases the likelihood of substance abuse.
A disappointing development to be honest. This is one more way the government can exert control over the people. The downsides risks are horrendous.

I haven't yet read this publication in full, but last year I did read the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee paper on the topic[1]. The title was quite telling: "Central bank digital currencies: a solution in search of a problem?" This was authored by Lord King, the former governor of the BoE, amongst others. It seems the current BoE is taking a different course.

Just wait and see what happens to your life if the state decides it doesn't like you.
That humans are in charge of ATC and flying the planes doesn't mean that there can't be automation to assist them and cover mistakes.

Poor visibility should not ever be a factor when we can have sensors that show exactly where the plane is on the ground. And yes we are definitely at a point where machine learning can predict the likely actions based on the human communication and warn if the predicted path could lead to a collision. The point is to have multiple safty systems (inclduing the human operators) so that one mistake doesn't kill hundreds of people because there are secondary systems to catch it.
I own 2 printers. A Brother laser printer (about $110) and a $59 HP Envy printer running Instant Ink. I gave away a working HP Office Jet and am totally satisfied. I totally understand the bargain. I’m paying for prints, not ink. I’ve had way fewer problems with this HP than any inkjet I have owned. Swapping ink carts costs me nothing. Support has been surprisingly good. I’m happy to pay HP $5.99 a month for 50 prints. If something goes wrong, the onus is on HP to get it working or they don’t get paid. Note that I have 2 printers so even if problems with the HP, I still have the Brother.
SUPPORT.txt: setting expectations between open-source maintainers and users
OP here - fairly nervous about posting this, but just to give some context of where this is coming from:

A decade ago, I got interested in JSON Schema, and at the time there was no JavaScript validator. I quickly knocked one together and shared it. It took a couple of hours, and was 460 lines plus a bunch of tests.

Only a few years after that, it had grown into a much bigger project. Other people were contributing, but I was still the lead developer. I had my own personal life going on (and other projects), and started to feel tied to this thing, like I wasn't allowed to leave. I wanted to be a responsible maintainer, but it wasn't fun any more.

Maybe someone with more experience (or a different brain) could have sustained this project indefinitely, but I eventually hit open-source burnout. I didn't sign into GitHub for several years, because I couldn't handle seeing the little notification icon. In retrospect I should have stepped back in a more proactive way (reaching out to regular maintainers first, and then putting a notice on the repo if nobody stepped up), but by the time things got bad I couldn't face it.

The license had standard boilerplate saying: THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" - but that's a legal disclaimer, not a social one. The package was (and still is) being downloaded millions of times per week on NPM, and those people had a (reasonable!) expectation that a popular and relatively-established package would be maintained, and bugs would be fixed.

There's a tension between the two sides, and this discussion has happened a few times recently. Some open-source developers want to provide reliable tools, and some others say "this is free work, you shouldn't expect anything". Some open-source users say "you published this, so you wanted me to use it, and that comes with obligations", and these disagreements can get quite heated.

Sharing code is fun, but I think the default assumptions should have more explicit limits, and a natural path to stepping back. I'm not fixated on this particular format, but I would like to see what happens if a missing SUPPORT.txt raised as many questions as a missing LICENSE.
It’s a pity not to exercise once you get on well with not eating as much as an elephant (“dieting” for some) and start losing some wheight. It’s a pity I say because you become more agile with less wheight, you will run faster, cycle faster, be able to do chin-ups, get tired later, just enjoy.
* Then, once move is applied disallow moving the stone again without re-engaging it a new tap/click-hold? Or undo the last move silently if the following move is the reverse of the preceding one?

The old pound isn't going anywhere?

And maybe (dont kill me for this) some people need an adult in the room on occasions.

Maybe (again, hold yourself back) money given by the state should be spent in supermarkets, not on disco biscuits. A degree of control over that doesn't sound bad at all.
I find it intriguing that this kind of project will plausibly be the true legacy of the crypto community’s efforts. This is both ironic and tragic as their intentions were the opposite in the wake of the 2008 crash.

I think it’s also related to the lack of trained political scientists in the crypto movement. A first year undergrad is taught that real political power comes from whomever has a monopoly on violence. In this light crypto was always doomed to fail in this way. It had little to no affect on the underlying real power. It only worked 1 later up (monetary supply / taxation / etc.).
I remember vividly the times when I was so much impressed of every single line of code I've written that day. I would stay up late at nights just to make the perfect piece of code, the perfect UI, the perfect architecture diagram, etc etc. To me, that feeling was life-giving.

Nowadays and after lots of years of experience mainly in early-stage startup environments, I don't even care about the code or the low level stuff.

I'm trying to embody my self to the mission. I'm looking for the right metrics to watch and when these metrics are impacted by my actions (or my teams' actions because these environments tend to be very team-driven) thats when I get the same feeling as when I was writing those Visual Studio LoCs and was building those grey UIs with MS Access for data storage.

With the right mission and metrics, comes a problem. With the right problem that will motivate you and excite you, comes the solution. And the solution will be a package of the right code, the right UI, the right line of communication, the right team policies.

I've stopped using the term software engineer for my self, I prefer the term product engineer. And building the right product is my mission.

If you haven't explored that path, of changing your perspective of what gives you that feeling, maybe it would be helpful before deciding to go live in a farm. :) All the best.

I would also like to hear from people that went through that path and where that lead them because I'm still early in my career (in my 30s now).

TIME TO REWATCH YET AGAIN
Discussed 4 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32985713

The TL;DR on this blog post is that Mozilla is unhappy that Operating Systems push you to choose their preferred browser.

But really, what is the distinction between a browser and an OS? Why should they not be integrated? Why does a "web browser" need to exist as a standalone thing? Hand-wavy things like "user choice" don't apply here, because otherwise, why not demand that every part of the OS be modular? Why can't I swap out the USB stack on MacOS with a custom one? (Linux users mostly demand that anyway, but that's beside the point.)

It seems like this piece is a calculated move to keep people believing that "web browsers" are separate apps, and cannot or should not (either logically or emotionally) be incorporated into an OS. Ironically, it also tries to say that browsers are essential to modern technology, in which case, doesn't that show that they should be even more integrated with the "operating" "system" of the computer?

Personally, between Firefox and Chrome, I chose the lesser of two annoyances (Chrome) because it doesn't try to push a paid VPN or a paid Mozilla Pocket every time the browser updates (changelog: fixed bugs. also look at our pocket service!)
Oh maybe I should have checked before replying. I don't think this is too hard for someone who wants a direct APK https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/releases

Perhaps the complaint is that they are not releasing to competing stores like Amazon? I would find it hard to believe that legit Firefox builds are not already on Fdroid
