Iceraven supports Violentmonkey - https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser

(Iceraven is a fork of Firefox for Android with way more extensions enabled and several other annoyances fixed.)

I just installed it and then added https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/460206-hn-avatars - it works perfectly!
Berlango does that.

We had a conversaton about this on Ars Technica and I can't currently find it. We ran into the same findings. I don't think you can fully set and forget it....3 copies, two formats, 1 off-site

One aspect of a profit capped company is that as they start to make more and more revenue (and profit) they’ll be heavily incentivized to just invest it all back into employees or datacenters or 8 figure domain names since the for company can’t keep the extra profit anyways.

Recycling is great but it's the least effective of the trio of actions if you recall the triangle of arrows: "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" - Reducing is the best option but by the time goods leave a factory they're already plastered in packaging. While costco can work with suppliers to reduce packaging (and I think it's pretty clear they do by buying special bulk sized options) - there's a decent chunk of material flowing into their locations. That leaves two options, recycle and reuse - if we were to immediately recycle we'd spend a lot of energy recovering the raw material from the box and reforming it to a new good, before we do that if we can get another use out of its current incarnation then that's awesome - we essentially get a brand new box for "free" because we're not spending energy to break it down, remold it, repaint it and do other crap. And then it goes home to the customer - this may vary based on location but where I am in Canada there are extremely accessible recycling curbside pickup options, so I'd wager that a fair majority of those boxes end up getting reused anyways.

And sure, there's a cynical view you can take on how much money the company is saving but hey - if they're saving that money while reducing their environmental impact all props to them.
Why it's very practical. Lets say you live in the suburbs 30 minutes from downtown. You find a parking lot park your car and just walk wherever from there. At end of the day if your tired and the car is to far just get a lyft back.

Sitting on a train or bus with screaming kids and breathing everyones air is not something that enjoyable. I prefer my own car it's more freedom.
People really think that most of their taxes are wasted?
Why expend effort for the dopamine of long-term, delayed gratification when you can just tickle your brain all day for free?
"Airborne" viruses are almost always traveling in protective droplets of fluids, sloughed cells, etc, etc. Direct contact with air kills them. So, how does the UV get inside the droplet so that it can reach the pathogen?
If you're mostly just compiling Go then why not cut out docker entirely? Just run your CI on bare metal.

This guy seems like a “content creator” but the article is trying to speak to artists. Calling it “content” has already devalued the art to some marketing fodder. So I don’t think this is going to make many artists feel better.

I think that most artists would agree that these tools can be used to create art. But that’s not what is concerning- it’s that the tools will ultimately be used by people who don’t value art to further devalue it.
There is no longer any discipline around filesize and data. People regularly attach huge files and have terabytes of useless data in databases. This makes daily backups prohibitively expensive for most orgs.
I wonder: https://katv.com/news/nation-world/nih-slow-walks-disclosure...
Isn't "undetectable" an overstatement? If you were a sophisticated attacker, you'd be able to detect RF coming from the Tiles every so often, right? Or do they only respond to the right signals from a signed-in device?

In addition, doesn't the anti-theft feature make it impossible to find the item if you aren't close with the proper Tile app signed into one login? The power of AirTags is that any IOS device can wander past, see the device, then send that info to the owner without the wanderer even knowing about the transaction. Tile was pretty restricted before as there are many, many times fewer Tile app users compared to AirTags. Now with this feature, instead of all Tile users being able to gather info, if the Tile isn't within a few feet of the one signed-in device, it's not going to find the Tile and the stolen item.

Seems like a thin layer of marketing slathered onto a product that isn't really competing anymore.

It's a feature not a bug. These kind of things always protect incumbents, that's the reason behind all the modern woke stuff. It's like demanding regulations to prevent building on a lake "to protect the environment" after already building your cottage and boat launch
It's not so much a bias of rural over urban, but lower population states versus larger states. You could be urban and just be smaller in size. This part of the "great compromise" was actually for smaller, non-slave states like Delaware. Virgina, the largest state in the nation at the time and a slave state, proposed the Virgina Plan, which proposed the creation of a bicameral national legislature, or a legislature consisting of two houses, in which the “rights of suffrage” in both houses would be proportional to the size of the state. Small states objected, because they'd had equal representation under the articles of confederation.

The overall final compromise did include compromises to slave owning states, but this vestigial is not due to those compromises. In fact, they were against it.

While it sounds cynical... it doesn't strike me as 'wrong' entirely. It's a non-trivial problem, but until some service provides great tools to handle this, and makes the experience 10x better (to encourage more use/experimentation/etc), everyone will keep offering the same experience all around. If a service could automatically cut build times by, say, 70%, that's a lot of revenue they may lose from charging for the build time. They could raise the price, or hope that enough new people get onboard to make up the loss... ?
I was going based on the theory of "5 characters plus leading underscore hits linker 6-character limit", but then this document talks about a system call named "execute".

If "execute" was really called "exec" in the source, then none of the syscall names I saw are longer than "creat".
Does airtag have a button on it like tile does that can be configured to send a find my iPhone Bluetooth signal? I have a friend who has a tile so I know it can do this but I couldn’t find that listed as a feature of airtags.
And this is why I never bothered replying to Amazon recruiters' emails in the past couple of years.

You can actually use autism to have good social skills. It takes a lot of work but once you realise you will never fit in, and have the same issues speaking to a thousand people as you do speaking to one person, you can speak honestly to a thousand people. Very few NTs can do this.
I've been gardening a lot this last couple of years now and, yeah, plants have intelligence. Indeed, as science is starting to understand, the soil itself functions as a kind of organism with intelligence.

The work of Michael Levin and co. especially is shining a scientific light on the thinking capabilities of all cells. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Levin_(biologist)

Wolfram points out that computation is actually easy and ambient. (It's one of the main themes of his tome.) We should expect intelligence to be ambient in evolved systems, and it is.

From this POV humans are the "waldoes" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldoes ) of the intelligent ecosystem. We allow life to defeat entropy with much greater efficiency. We also permit the possibility of evading the end of the carbonate–silicate cycle.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_far_future

> 500–600 million [years]

> The Sun's increasing luminosity begins to disrupt the carbonate–silicate cycle; higher luminosity increases weathering of surface rocks, which traps carbon dioxide in the ground as carbonate. As water evaporates from the Earth's surface, rocks harden, causing plate tectonics to slow and eventually stop once the oceans evaporate completely. With less volcanism to recycle carbon into the Earth's atmosphere, carbon dioxide levels begin to fall.[76] By this time, carbon dioxide levels will fall to the point at which C3 photosynthesis is no longer possible. All plants that utilize C3 photosynthesis (≈99 percent of present-day species) will die.[77] The extinction of C3 plant life is likely to be a long-term decline rather than a sharp drop. It is likely that plant groups will die one by one well before the critical carbon dioxide level is reached. The first plants to disappear will be C3 herbaceous plants, followed by deciduous forests, evergreen broad-leaf forests and finally evergreen conifers.[70]

It gets worse from there! We have less than a gigayear!
Man, I miss those, reminds me of being a teenager. I think they never survived because it was such a tenuous balance, either you didn't have enough people and it was a ghost town, or you had too many and it was a free for all. I feel like things like facebook groups and twitter kinda solved those problems by wrapping them in a larger ecosystem, but at the cost of feeling corporate and generic. The wild west internet couldn't really last, but it had a lot of charm.
5k is a steal for a good name.
I frequently see people on HN link to these sorts of biased content farms sites when groping around in the dark of the internet in a frequently very successful bid to back up falsehood in heated political debate. They are doing that for free and they basically never get called out. In a commercial setting where you have paid people who's job it is to do that from 9-5 and where things are generally far less controversial and therefore far less subject to challenge I can only assume the proportion is higher.
If either of the sponsors has any idea what they're talking about, I'll eat my hat. They're just following the party line...you know, like Soviet Communists used to do.
Right, that's the point. How often do you browse a web page and never click on anything or highlight any text? If you're interacting with a SPA like Twitter or Facebook, it's impossible for you not to have a user action by the time you run into a video. It's fairly common for web articles to put everything except the first two paragraphs behind a "click to expand" button. What that does is force you to invisibly give them permission to autoplay audio.

Chrome introduced a solution where in practice, videos still all autoplay (the demo doesn't show this, but if you start a video muted you're still allowed to autoplay it), and then 15 seconds into browsing the page you still get hit with a blast of music. And in the process of doing that, they also broke a substantial number of web games.

And, also, the restrictions don't apply if you're browsing within a domain, so if you click on a CNET article and then click a link to another CNET article, now the second article has permission to play even without a user gesture. "In response to a user gesture" is such a weak protection. Highlighting text counts as a user gesture.

My preference would have been for Chrome to just auto-mute that tab as soon as audio started playing, and allow the user to unmute it themselves not as a gesture that "implies" consent, but by explicitly clicking the unmute button.

I don't think the current solution solves anything at all, I think it's worse then what we started with. Particularly on mobile, it's extremely easy to accidentally tap on a website. In my opinion, it's effective the same thing as just allowing autoplaying audio, I feel like they might as well have changed nothing.

Edit: I've got a longer article I wrote in 2018 that goes into more problems, but a lot of them are orthogonal to the current conversation and are mostly focused on the impact to web games and criticizing Google's communication with developers, so I tend to just directly link to the demo when talking about it nowadays (https://danshumway.com/blog/chrome-autoplay/)
There's same law in Switzerland.

However as soon as you as the buyer feel something is off, you aren't protected anymore because only good faith buyers are protected. For example if you go to the black market or something seems to be extremely cheap you definitively aren't protected anymore.

It's a conflict of interests. This law is trying to do a tradeoff. Imagine you went to Walmart and bought a bike and everything seemed fine but it turned out that an employee stole the bike and sold it to you in the name of Walmart. In this case you can keep the bike.

Thanks! We've discussed offering a cloud version at some point; however, we're initially focused on the self-hosted version.

Regarding the cloud option, we'd likely take a usage-based approach to pricing. Not sure if that would be based on number of events, actions, or some combination of the two. When we do offer this, we'll make sure that the free tier is generous and easy for small projects to use without worrying about paying.
I love bookmarklets, use them all the time. Could never work out how to get started with userscripts. Any good guides about?
So there's not enough demand then?

There's theoretically demand for millions of luxury penthouses but only a tiny level of actual demand at the pricepoint where it can be feasible delivered in any major city.
A less portable way to do this (even in C) with GNU ld is

ld -r -b binary -o file.o file.ext

then link in that in, and you have

extern const char _binary_file_ext_start[];
extern const char _binary_file_ext_end[];

to actually address the data.

Well, adding the option would significantly decrease the set of patches that the distributions need to apply, which would decrease erroneous bug reports, etc.

A distribution-provided package doesn't really need to be a fork unless upstream isn't playing nicely with the rest of the OSS ecosystem.
ok - but you could see these things as persistent illness in any civilization of this size.. So, outrage at the existence alone is not constructive; instead treat the illness knowing that it will never completely go away. "checks and balances" you know?

there is a tendency to boil over and demand immediate change.. temper that, make longer commitments?
A congestion charge would also help get cars off the road, while allowing people too continue owning cars.
Supply and demand. A three-character .com/.net/.org domain name going for $5k is a pretty good deal in my book.
Am I a curmudgeon? Not to take away from this cool writeup, but I'm familiar with a few CI/CD tools, particularly QuickBuild, Jenkins and Spinnaker. So this jumped out at me:

> Our CI process was pretty standard: Every commit in an MR triggered a GitLab Pipeline, which consisted of several jobs.

me: nodding silently

> Those jobs would run in an auto-scaling Kubernetes cluster with up to 21 nodes

me: what the actual deuce?

Is this really "pretty standard"?
Not the person you asked, but we have something similar to what you described - our GitLab is self-hosted on Hetzner cloud and the build machine is a beefy bare metal machine in the same datacenter (plus an additional Mac in our office just for iOS). Built images are stored in GitLab repository and deployed from there.

We deploy to AWS (among others) and had no issues regarding traffic price since it's ingress into AWS.
Your critique is valid, but whatever happened to letting developers build cool technical projects for their own sake?

The author does not claim this should be used in production. As far as I can tell, this appears to be more of a novelty technical demo more than anything. Saying that the author is trying to reinvent the wheel of production-grade databases is uncharitable at best.

My team is all over the world. Am I supposed to drive 4 hours to the nearest office to sit in a meeting room for a remote meeting? This makes me angry.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to add that was with a paid-off car so I didn't even count that. Bike-world would still leave me with more money and the same commute time, worst-reasonable-case. Plus the commute would also be exercise. And that's with personally making well north of 2x median household income for my city. Car-world works out much worse for the vast majority of 'burb-dwellers in my city.

[EDIT] FWIW, I was skeptical, is why I ran the numbers. He's so right, for the average person in (I'd bet) most US cities, that it's not even a close call, it turns out.
I believe this is where the highly self-critical perspective has its roots. From the outside, it looks like a bunch of compliment baiting, but actually it seems to be a necessary. Without that intense scrutiny from yourself, how are you supposed to grow when you don't know what you did wrong?

This is also partially why some creatives stop making progress even if financially successful to a degree. They get enough fans, they make enough money, so they stop looking for things to nitpick and start blindly believing. See Rob Liefeld, who notoriously has received a lot of bad feedback about his work but way after he was successful in the 90s - to the point where he's gone on record saying he doesn't know why he's so "controversial".

Yes shareholders can sue, but they such sue the board not the CEO.

In well run public company the CEO’s don’t set their own compensation package they negotiate with a board who does. In that negotiation the CEO has zero legal obligations with respect to the company they are in effect an independent entity at the time. Of course this is assuming an independent board, conflicts of interest can still happen.

The “Saying Is Believing” Effect (2008)
They said "judgement" so they must have been ruled against.
Ah, I think you're right. I sort of remembered "Parkway" and was assuming it was Fresh Pond Parkway and it was actually Cambridge Parkway. I do remember having an IBM meeting over that way at one point and I think it was in a former Lotus building.

The other thing that throws me off is that when I started working in Massachusetts in the mid-80s and certainly when I was a student there five years earlier or so, the area of Cambridge over toward Lechmere was sort of a different world with east of MIT being sort of a there be dragons here area of old warehouses and the like left from industrial Cambridge. Coming from the west, you mostly didn't walk much past MIT. Things were starting to pick up more in the nineties.
No other language or framework seems to get the same scrutiny as JavaScript.

The Enterprise Java solutions never seem to get as much discussion but we all recognize it also as being equally if not more so absurd[1]. This is true of every language and framework that gains mass adoption and use. Scala projects are crazy complex, the python 2 to python 3 migration was a mess, none of these are problems. They reflect the improvements in every metric to the underlying platforms and systems - end user experience, developer experience, reliability, testability etc.

JavaScript is in a phenomenal place today - we have come "full circle" in the same way that streaming has come "full circle" with cable - better tooling, new capabilities, improved experiences etc.

There's a lot of keeping up with the jones' - that's partly nice as its job security and partly nice as a reflection of engineers improving our own ecosystem.
