> Tab Groups were better when they were baked into the browser. They were extremely buggy when the code was removed and moved into an extension. Not only often losing all of my tabs - but completely forgetting all of my tab groups altogether. Causing me to lose not only important data but also having to re-organize all my tabs into tab groups only to inevitably have to redo all the work next time FF decided it wanted to crash (which was multiple times a day at that point due to the extension...). It happened with such regularity that I grew sick of it and it was the single motivating factor that pushed me to use Chrome as my default browser.

This hasn't happened to me -- my biggest issues have been around mistakenly clicking into a browser group in a second browser window.

Since I have two browsers open, I keep one for sort of ephemeral stuff which isn't on a browser group at all, then main stuff (email, slack, etc) on the one. Note that pinned tabs also work fine -- I have a pinned tab that's not in a container at all (my personal email) and it's fine across all groups.

If it helps, the extension now takes copious backups across browser upgradest at the very least (that I have to delete from time to time), files named `STF-backups-FF-<FF version>`.

> I can only hope/assume they've gotten better since then - but it burned me really, really bad. So much that it still pisses me off talking about it all these years later.

> Two of the original features that were extremely buggy were a hotkey to open up a visual overview of tab groups (originally Ctrl+Shift+E) and a way to search for a tab and reduce the number of visible tab groups to only groups containing a tab matching that search.

Sorry to hear that... I have to say that I don't use the hotkeys that much -- I don't use a visual over view, I just go up to the add on, click it, switch into the workspace and usually I'm there for an 1-4 hours.

Maybe you could look through the release notes? I don't know what the version you used last was, but I defnitely haven't lost tabs or been very frustrated with STG in a long time.

The color coding is fantastic. I have most groups linked to a container profile, all new tabs open in the profile and everything is tidy, separate, and color coded.

I can definitely vouch that it's more stable these days -- I am daily driving it and haven't thought about it in what has to be months to years. It's a crucial part of my workflow -- I use it to seriously separate work that I do for various projects (of course I have to re-login to Github, Gitlab, etc).

> UN is literally just a forum for countries to meet and discuss matters.

Article 43 of the UN Charter would, if it were ever implemented, create a military force under the control of the UN Security Council.

>The potential of the United Nations and its Charter remained a dominant subject in schools and communities into the 1950s, focused especially on those Charter promises to protect member states "against violators of the peace." Chapter VII dealt with enforcement action: Article 39 first authorized the Security Council to "determine the existence of any threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression"; Article 42 was designed to respond with "air, sea or land forces as may be necessary"; and Article 43 committed all UN member states "to make available to the Security Council, on its call, armed forces, assistance, facilities, including rights of passage necessary for the purpose of maintaining international peace and security." Although much hope for the future was placed in the ratification of Article 43, it was never implemented.

What kind of (apparently) sugarcoated bullshit is this? This is appalling even in a country (mine) as regressive as India. Even this country calls bullshit on this. Is this US specific as in nationwide, or is it a particular region there? I mean who the hell thinks like this? You got raped, had an abusive boyfriend, got trapped into being pregnant, accidental pregnancy? Fret not, there are people who “might” love your “currently foetus” on your behalf in the future. Just that you’re not supposed to terminate the pregnancy and you’ve to continue with it. Why? Because ‘Jesus loves foetuses’. Ffs!

> If you are being abused, raped, or you're a victim of incest, there are people who care about you much more than that,

Yup. Those people love you more than your rapist. What an achievement!

As China Expands Its Fleets, US Analysts Call for Catch-up Efforts

The disparity has prompted U.S. maritime experts to call for a "Ships Act" comparable to the recently enacted "Chips Act" that supports the return of chip manufacturing to the United States.

..

Bryan McGrath, managing director at The FerryBridge Group, told VOA Mandarin that the shipbuilding bases of the U.S. and China are simply not comparable.

"The Chinese industrial base is a behemoth, and the U.S. shipbuilding industrial base is freakishly undersized as a function of the size of America's economy and its influence in the world," McGrath said.

As of 2020, the U.S. Navy had 297 battle force ships, according to a report by the Congressional Research Service. China surpassed the U.S. as the world's largest navy with an inventory of about 355 vessels, according to a U.S. Defense Department report released in 2021. The Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) projects that China will have 400 battle force ships by 2025 and 425 by 2030.

Linus tech tips is a YouTube channel by some guy in Canada who reviews computers and other tech. It’s turned into a kind of mini channel with other reviewers.

Not to be confused with “Linus” of Linux fame who doesn’t contribute to the channel.
In my experience they're pretty rare. Not many Node packages need a native build (mostly node-sass in my experience, which has now been deprecated in favor of a Dart implementation which I believe compiles to JavaScript), and I don't think Deno even supports importing non-JS/WASM modules to begin with, so that type of problem should be fully impossible here

We've built things on seL4 (https://github.com/auxoncorp/ferros) before. We like to joke that it's the most perfect piece of nearly featureless software ever made.

There's... A LOT... of work to do before seL4 is going to be anywhere near usability parity with something like Linux, unfortunately.

Rather than make a general purpose OS, we decided to use it more like a unikernel or "library OS" where you're trying to make a well defined kind of "appliance" image to deploy to specific hardware rather than try to fake being a POSIX-y shaped OS. At some point we plan to leverage the WASM ABI to help with stability across versions & toolchains and stuff a WASM runtime in there too, so that support for "applications" written in something other than Rust is easier. Though, it's a pretty low priority at the moment since it's not at all core to our business presently.

Well, today I get to be the person who gets to express surprise that their small hometown gets posted on Hacker News.

This "Mega Site" has been on the table now for almost 15 years.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-volkswagen-alabama-idUSL0...

If I remember correctly, the Alabama site had utilities on site ready to go and our site was three contiguous farms.

Fifteen years later that's still mostly the case but there are fewer houses among the farms and various levels of government have been making actual property purchases to increase their commitment to the idea of an industrial site.

It wasn't until they started clear cutting all the trees along C Drive North that local opposition assembled around a "save historic Marshall" message. Even though there's been a decade and a half to derail this project.

Also, we're not just on the I-94 corridor, but we're also on the I-69 corridor. The site is also within spitting distance of a rail line (I don't remember if its the CN Grand Trunk line or BNSF).
This site truly is where humor goes to die.

> The reality is that building systems is really hard. It requires a lot of resources, and a lot of engineering. I think the incentive structures in academia aren't very suited for this kind of costly, risky systems-building research.

It’s a shame that this is lost on academic library weenies roleplaying as engineers. A prominent figure in my research area diagnosed the problems of incentivizing “minimal-publishable units” and that if these researchers were working on home computing, they would’ve just run circles around microproblems like whether the more verbose “remove_directory” is more usable than “rmdir,” and no one would’ve bothered with the unpublishable plumbing of building mice and browsers and interfaces.

Once when I was much younger first encountering NUMA I came across a bit of code that always did a few magical things with the first physical CPU. We had a fairly elaborate hardware configuration and several peripherals were bound to the first core.

Ever since, when I do any sort of CPU or core pinning or grouping, I leave the first core or two alone if possible. It's convenient to say the first two cores are for all the ancillary stuff, but the last 30 are for our workload.

Now I realize why I never witnessed something like this in all benchmarks I performed... I always ignore the first CPU core.
I'm not talking in abstract algebra level abstraction here, no need to be a twit. Your comments are usually better than this.

But in the spirit of being a twit, your "answers" are hardly coherent, let alone concrete. They're just as hand wavy as the original asker was probably complaining about if they wanted a concrete answer.

> How many movement choices do you have? Can you get back to a position? Does your moving cause others to move? Can you see places that are safe to experiment in?

If you want to give a concrete answer instead of a hand wavy one like yours pick a real game, sport, or combat scenario and apply it. Here's a stab at it that's absolutely useless unless you generalize the concept back to my original answer:

BJJ (which a lot of people tie to OODA):

The observations are what my own body-awareness and my opponent's actions and position relative to me. Up to this point in the match I've gotten them into my guard, they put their weight and body just far enough back that I haven't had much luck getting more control. But I managed to bump them and trip them up, they slipped up, they just planted their left hand by my right shoulder (observation).

Orientation: Combining the observation and my training in BJJ, I know that this situation ripe for an arm bar or a triangle.

Decision: I will grab their arm and adjust my guard to pull off the next move, an arm bar.

Action: I grab their arm, but this isn't a turn based game and they move too.

Observation: Gripping my sleeve or collar or shifting their weight, they make an arm bar too hard.

Orientation: I'm still in a good position for a triangle.

Decision: I'll attempt the triangle, but maintaining proper control I can still shift back to the arm bar if they open themselves up to it again.

Action: Move my legs and their body to achieve the triangle.

---------

But while concrete, the only utility here is to point out its generality. Either the person gets it and understands the concept beyond BJJ (and this specific scenario) and maybe other combat sports or they don't. This was a longwinded way to get back to the core concept: Take the observations and combine them to feed into the decision process.

And if you really think that last sentence has anything to do with semigroup-level abstraction, I can't help you.
The paper speculates that it is analogous to gradient descent and empirically confirms it is similar in behavior, but it is not a rigorous proof of any kind.

The momentum experiment they made also does not seem related. E.g. it just adds past values to V, which extends the effective context length.

I’m at the point where I genuinely would like to see this ai stuff heavily regulated to outright banned. Any upside where Disney gets to not pay actors and instead just synthesize Princess Leia or Darth Vader for Star Wars XXIV is vastly outweighed by the sheer amount of fraud that can be committed when we have hyper realistic ai voices calling in our family members voices asking for crypto deposits.

No one has the ability to validate everything they are told. If someone highly trusted and proven in the field makes a claim about something, you won’t just drop everything and spend the next 6 months validating it. You will implicitly place trust in their judgement.

> So our solution to this problem is... Invisible pixie dust.

As stated before, it satisfies the following conditions:

A) It fills in the holes of existing formulas/models

B) It prevents MASSIVE retooling of everything we know

Until a better model comes along to explain the area filled in by dark matter, this is the best solution we have right now. It's the physics equivalent of strcpy() but without any available replacement: It works until the edge case.

Right now the (big J) Job is finding physics' strlcpy(): Something that can be used in place of strcpy().

If you don't understand why errno is bad then it'll be hard to explain it.

Errno is fine if you're accessing it right after a stdlib function that sets it, because it's the equivalent of a function's error code. Once you get out of that context errno becomes less and less useful and probably shouldn't be used, because without that context you won't know who/what actually set it.

I don't think it's so much being judged about dating an outsider, but rather that it's significantly easier to date an insider.

Imagine dating someone (beyond a few casual dates, the start of a proper relationship), informing your security office about the change to your personal circumstances, and being told that there is some problem with their background check and you have to break things off or risk losing your own clearance (and thus career).

Dating someone with an existing clearance avoids all that hassle and heartbreak, so it's understandable that sort of thing goes on. Holding a clearance also acts as a pretty good filter in that you know they are a reasonably mature, functioning adult, don't have a criminal past, hidden debt, or other issues that can undermine a relationship.
> However, the conceit is that "in the same repo" means you can
> "change them together."

In a monorepo you shouldn't be making changes to independent components in a single commit. That's how you end up being forced to roll back your change because you broke someone else's service.

If you're making a backwards-incompatible change to an API then you need to:

1. Make a commit to your library to add the new functionality,

2. Send separate commits for review by other teams to update their projects' code,

3. Wait for them to be approved and merged in, then merge a final cleanup commit.

If your repository is designed to enable a single commit to touch multiple independent projects then it's not a monorepo, it's just a single-project repo with unclear API and ownership boundaries.
What Deno features are tied to TS? Can you eg use the "vendor" feature (or hook it) if you wanted to use it with other languages that compile to JS or Wasm, like ClojureScript or Rust?
Can you be more specific? I'm from a country that people would consider part of "The West". However we've never attacked anyone except invaders in entire country's history.

I'm sure you could dredge up some connection to the US and get angry with us about it, if you were an Islamic extremist or something. More realistically though, you could find fault with any country with that attitude.

Speaking of current geopolitics instead of historical, the recent blame for causing a rise in aggression lies firmly with Russia and China. The US is not blameless but neither are they starting any new wars in almost two decades.

So, tell me again about why everything is the fault of "The West", including all the western countries who have never attacked anyone, in your mind?

I have been working my way through a 2013 book, "Professional Automated Trading: Theory and Practice" that uses Lisp as the language to implement a trading system of different frequencies using concepts from artificial life and control theory (I recall studying all of the stuff coming out of the Santa Fe Institute in the late 80's - Artificial Life I, swarm intelligence, etc.). Some of the AI/AL stuff is dated, but the trading knowledge covered and how to build an automated trading platform are great. He covers a lot of ground very concisely and based on solid experience. I love Lisp, so that was also why I gravitated towards this book.

I am currently into the April programming language, Array Programming Reimagined In Lisp[1], and I may try to implement the mathy parts of the book's code in APL and the remainder in Lisp as presented with some improvements. April is very flexible and takes advantage of the libraries and symbolic processing of Lisp. The creator of April just switched it to lazy evaluation from eager evaluation last month.

I’m not sure one automatically associates with the other. Someone can collect a lot of novel experiences and still not learn a thing from any of them. But I agree with your point that the goal should be to collect lots of experience that one has learned from. That doesn’t seem to be the case with the “whiz kids” the post linked to.

>Someone who merely bought and held tech stocks, like Apple & Nvidia, beat virtually all funds since 2009.

This is a common misconception or a poorly phrased statement. It's not true that someone who bought/held tech stocks, or an ETF beat virtually all managed funds or that holding on to ETFs beats virtually every managed fund. It's true that passive investing, in tech or ETFs would have beat the average managed fund, and it's also true that an investor is better off investing in an ETF/diversified portfolio, but there are exceptional managed funds that significantly outperform the market.

The problem is that you are no more likely to know which managed fund will outperform the market than you are to know which stock will outperform the market. Picking a fund that will outperform the market, especially after fees, is just as hard as picking stocks, and in fact it might be even harder due to the fees.

But this does not mean that all, or virtually all funds perform worse than the market or even a segment of it.

One of the advantages of hedge funds in particular is that they can employ leverage in a way that provides almost all of the upside of leverage while protecting an investor from some of the downside. For example if I, as an individual, used leverage to trade on the market and some black swan even happens, not only would I lose the amount I invested, I could also end up in debt and have to sell my house or other assets to cover my obligations.

If I use leverage through a hedge fund, then I still get almost all of the benefits if the market moves in my favor, but if the market moves heavily against me the most I can lose is my investment.
