It's sad (but very reasonable) that newer architectures have tried to be significantly less flexible about control flow for security reasons, in the direction of "there is only one way to call a function, and only one way to return from a function, and you have to tell the system where your functions and returns are so that someone can't call or return into the middle or can't leave the function at an unexpected point" (and, of course, no self-modifying code, and even discouraging JITs).

People wanted a faster, more secure, multi-threaded experience.

> Note: Having read in comments that some users apparently do not care about security, let me add that being secure is a really, really important point for Mozilla and has been since the first day. Regardless of add-ons, not having security means that an exploit is eventually going to show up that will steal user’s passwords and use them to steal their bank accounts – and that exploit will get sold around and will soon show up everywhere. Firefox developers fight this threat daily by all sorts of means, including code reviews, defensive programming, crash scene investigations, several types of sandboxing, static analysis, memory-safe languages, … Consequently, for Mozilla, if a feature prevents us from achieving great security, we always pick security over features.

As we read this, let us reflect that this reasonable and mature position resulted in a ~2% market share [0]. Still respectable at 1 person in 50, I suppose, but not trending in a way people are going to feel proud about.

Mozilla accepted Google's framing on what a web browser should be, and ended up in a world where it only makes sense to use chromium-based browsers since they better implement that vision. Firefox was always going to be a niche browser once Google got serious, but at least it could have been an interesting niche. Possibly it could be compared to Emacs - some people just love it because it was that customisable but it doesn't get a lot of love in the mainstream.

Now it is just unimpressive. Which is remarkable given the wide range of impressive things it could do up to 2016 that it cannot do today.

Poor trust in Germany of American intent has been ongoing for some time. The US has done much to repair it, although the quiet diplomacy has been more effective than the public diplomacy.

70,000-90,000 unique monthly visitors, according to client-side analytics.

Someone wanted to buy the site so we added client-side analytics in August to December 2022

https://plausible.io/curlconverter.com?period=custom&from=20...

We also moved the site from GitHub Pages to Cloudflare Pages just for August 2022, to run server-side analytics to count the people that block ads and that said 116k "visits", compared to 67k "unique visitors" and 112k "total pageviews" from client-side analytics for the same time period (August 31st is missing because Cloudflare only lets you see 30 days). 116k and 112k are really close, which makes me suspect that I misunderstood and Cloudflare is actually also doing client-side analytics, but if that's not the case then it's 120,000-150,000 monthly visits.

Back in September 2021 the site used to have Google Analytics and that said 25k users with 60k sessions from Sept 17 to Oct 17 2021.

They offered us 15K for the site so we didn't sell it and they cloned it, since it's all open source. We removed the analytics again in January 2023 for the same reason we removed them before, curl commands copied from the browser might contain cookies or auth tokens and it's easier to not worry about the possibility of them accidentally getting logged by the analytics and also because it's kind of expensive and I got laid off in November. Knowing people are using your code is nice though.

> I couldn't imagine any web developer need such kind of tool [knowing curl by heart]

There might be some edge cases in Bash syntax or curl's option parsing you might miss that the tool won't (or vice versa), but you're right, rewriting a curl command in another language by hand is straightforward. But if you're doing it a lot it gets tedious and some people are writing web scrapers and bots full-time. You usually start with a curl command from the browser or some API's documentation, and if you want to do something with the returned data, you rarely want to do it in Bash. You could call the curl command and read the output in Python but you'll have better error handling and less code if you use an HTTP library. A better solution would be adding "Copy as Python", "Copy as R" etc. to Chrome directly and I opened a PR for Python but I haven't polished it enough for them to just merge it

https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/devtools/devtools...

curl is kind of complex and expects you to understand HTTP. It's better if developers that don't want/need to learn it can bypass it.

I remember good times reading bash.org’s QDB. A discord/IRC/chat log is a comfortable way of consuming information!

Probably don’t even need to reformat the logs, just posting them raw will work.
It would be, if the code wasn't so horrifically bitrotted at this point. GHC has changed a lot since Elm last got any meaningful update, and they decided to use unsafe GHC primitives everywhere that have no support guarantee. You have to fix a bunch of issues with the compiler source before it will even compile on a relatively new version of GHC.
If they are detectable yes the speed is an issue.

Where do we get it?
Only publicly available sources. Usgs has a great portal. Private data is too expensive to get. I was quoted 6 figures for a larger area. They were going to fly a plane and capture it :)

What resolution?
Totally depends on the area the customer would like to cover. If it’s their ranch or property, we usually need 1-meter. If it’s a mountain range than 30-Meter works.

It mainly depends on the resolution limit for 3D printing. So it also depends on the size of the model they want.

Unfortunately not all areas are covered with high res
Even for regular in-order cores, it makes branch prediction a massive pain because now your fast frontend predictors need to essentially fully decode the instruction in order to determine if it can be considered a branch. Most other ISAs make this simple because there are only a few opcodes that change control flow and so you can very easily just stuff that in your early frontend decoder.

RISCV unfortunately didn't quite do this well since return uses the same opcode for
call, return, and indirect branch and so you have to fully decode the instruction in order to determine whether you should use the RAS or your other predictors. This isn't a problem that can't be overcome (next line predictors help a lot for these early predictions) but it makes something very performance critical just that much harder.

XMLHttpRequest was available since Firefox was called Firefox[1], and it should have been at least partly functional in 2002 when Phoenix 0.1 (the predecessor to Firebird and Firefox) was released. In 2004, Firebird just got renamed to Firefox (on version 0.8) and Safari implemented XHR. Opera and Konqueror would implement it in 2005.

The main issue obstructing the use of XHR was not browser compatibility. Internet Explorer still had 95% market share, and almost nobody cared about compatibility with other browsers then. The issue was mostly about awareness, and lack of proper tooling. The term AJAX was only coined in 2005, so the technique of using XHR to reduce page refreshes and improve page responsiveness didn't even have a name. It was used here in there by savvy web developers, but it wasn't systematic.

Before 2005, very few websites were built entirely on XHR. It was out there, lurking in the shadows, but not transforming the way web was done yet. Outlook Web Access (for which XHR was developed) is an obvious mention, but the first site that got XR popular was probably Gmail Beta, in 2004. I think a lot of developers suddenly wanted to replicate it, and with the popularization of AJAX in 2005, learning resources become easier to find, libraries and frameworks got developed to make its usage easier (anybody said jQuery?) and so on.

Neither Elm nor Haskell are really ML-dialects though. They're more ML-adjacent. I honestly rarely have any issue with indentation in F# that isn't immediately fixable by some editor feedback. Even thinking about it, I can't think of any issues I have had at all with any consistency.

I think Lisp in the flavor of Common Lisp isn't so regular or consistent, but Scheme and Forth certainly are. I basically consider ML as a typed, indentation-sensitive Scheme, at least the way I think and program in them both.
Agreed. There’s this weird idea we should have the same UX for everything. In practicality we need different scales. I don’t describe the distance between myself and my neighbor in light years.
From my perspective there's nothing wrong, but most of the population that has ever even heard of Github think of it as a complex programmer's only thing.

I remember a project I did some time ago where we required Github integration, every employee of the company was supposed to have a Github account, it was even part of the onboarding day, there was a very internal knowledge base page on how to setup Github, and EVEN then people would just hear the word "Github" and freak out saying a bunch of people in the company would never ever be able to setup an account there.

> Repositories for binary packages could compile their versions with telemetry disabled.

... the overall tone of the comment, and peer comments that seem to believe that this is the case. Only GP can confirm their belief to where telemetry would be implemented.

One does not have to "compile with telemetry disabled" but rather disable telemetry with an ENV VAR. It is the "compile" part which has me believe GP believes that this is embedding telemetry in binaries built with Go, which is not what is happening at all.
I mean...this makes sense.
On the other hand if I link to example.com, random-website.org, or even a published study, then that's also not a guarantee it's anywhere near accurate.

Blindly trusting Wikipedia would be foolish, but so would blindly trusting anything else, or blindly mistrusting Wikipedia. Gathering reliable and comprehensive information on any topic you're not an expert on is hard, because you lack the background knowledge and expertise to judge the accuracy of something – basic critical thinking/bullshit detection helps, but will only get you so far.

Wikipedia isn't perfect and has its share of issues, but it's not bad either.
I've got a professional base station that's decently close, but still far enough to degrade the accuracy a bit (I forget the exact figure but you can find it if you search). When I used the professional base station to figure out the point and compared it to what PPP had found, it seemed to be within that amount of error.

I'm convinced the single biggest factor is the wrong incentive leads to poor quality, well beyond other factors like the paywalls, publications, etc. Not only it disinterests reader but more importantly, it push away good writers. Content is the beating heart of your platform.

It started out like a beautiful small town. The residents are nice and talented, the streets are clean and elegant - it attracts tourists.

It went wrong when the incentive encouraged bad actors to resides in town - litters and tea scammers are everywhere. Not only they're hurting tourists, they discourage good actors from residing in - nobody wants to live in dirty neighborhood and live with bad neighbors.

Thus the negative feed back loop, which causing the infinite downward spiral on quality.
Nonalcoholic wine, on the other hand, exists but doesn't taste at all like real wine...they just thin it with grape juice.
I programmed in functional languages prior to writing Elm, but the reactive part was new to me. I found the signals primitive to be pretty mind-blowing.

Houdini, as a mesh based modeler, also called artistic modeler, is not appropriate for industrial design, because of the way it handles topology like every other mesh modelers.

This is a very different use case. CA industrial D software are actually aware of how machine tools work, that's why their tools and API are named based on real machine tools and have the exact same constraints as physical machine tools. Houdini has no such constraints nor awareness about manufacturing trade, anything goes including non-manifold geometries in topologies.
