Native code can use a wrong abstraction as well.

Around 1996 I tested on Linux a Java app that rendered everything in Java using IFC from Netscape. The speed of its UI was on pair with a native app using Motif toolkit despite the usage of images.

Neither XUL nor HTML layout are native. As I understand it, they only switched from one non-native UI to another, which has pretty much the same performance implications.

I remember starting my career at a small tech startuo making a graphical version of Mosaic and when Xul started at Netscape as the next generation layout engine. Amazing run that’s lasted as long as my career. The pivot to best Microsoft’s free IE by fully open sourcing and establishing a long lived foundation and completely commoditizing the nearly $1B investment they made in browsers was amazing and led to so many amazing technologies. I am humbled to have been a part of that journey and bid Xul a fond farewell. There is no data!!
I like my 15 hour workweek anywhere in the world with few stakes and little risk.
Well I interpreted "normal" to mean "does not have many petabytes of data", and if those tools are reaching a billion files with smaller amounts of data then I'm very confused about how it's happening.
Maybe military service could help some of these folks out of their unfortunate situation, given a longer training period and proper support.
SpaceX does have one without the aerosurfaces and heat tiles, but that isn't the one lined up for the first launch. Ship 24 should be able to attempt the reentry flop-and-flip maneuvers, assuming the test gets that far. Last I heard, Elon was only giving the first test a 50% chance of getting to orbit.
This news is already a few days old, and all of the information about what happened is out, so there's absolutely no need to speculate.
Obviously. But work will consume the majority of my free time regardless. I'd rather enjoy that time. Back when I was working from home in a small city I used to consume the majority of my free time outside of work trying to arrange events and it was exhausting. Especially difficult when you live somewhere with a small population. Now I work in office I finish the day happy and fulfilled, just have to arrange things for the weekend which is much more realistic than hosting events several times a week.
> Some were just abusive managers, many were just not that effective. The worst one was a manager that would swoop down with heroics, take credit for other people's work, not support reports on ideas you had, played the blame game, etc.

Also anecdotal, but this is identical to my experience with a handful of ex-employees of some Elon companies. They were basically office politics machines, optimized to promote themselves at the expense of everyone else.

One claimed to have worked closely with Elon, but after seeing him lie about so many other things I don’t trust anything he told us.

They were weirdly, unnecessarily ruthless in everything they did behind your back. But they were also highly polished and charismatic when addressing you directly.

Obviously this isn’t unique, but it was weird to see how consistent it was from this group of people.
> Young people will prefer to live in these 20-sqm things (and have shared amenities/no car) than lose a significant percentage of their income to housing. Of course, some of the powers are holding on this because it'll affect their artificially made limited supply of houses.

The people most vocally opposed to these buildings (which I support) in the United States are liberals/progressives who say those types of living situations are unacceptable, and hold out for the magic beans of large apartments/houses at well-below market prices. Unsurprisingly, this only makes prices go up.
You might be surprised. I did the PCT which was significantly longer, and I met baristas, grocery store clerks, long haul truck drivers and so on doing it. Living in a tent is pretty cheap, and that's why homeless people do it.
Right of passage laws are not part of the code civile, which is the legal system in France. Quebec follows this as well - a hiking/climbing had access removed because someone was thinking of building something. In common law countries areas, the fact that there is a well-used trail that has existed for some time means that people get to pass, regardless of whether it's private property or not. In code-civile jurisdictions, the government steps in and buys part of the land to allow for access.

The thread proves there is no right answer. Some people crave in-office work and face-to-face interaction, some people prefer working from home with interaction with non-coworkers, and some people prefer working from home in isolation. This isn’t a race to find the right way and prove the others wrong!

Personally, since going remote and moving out to the boonies, I have had some weeks where I never even came within 100 meters of anyone other than my family, and it was absolutely glorious! Treating “society” as optional is amazing and liberating. Obviously not everyone shares this outlook and that’s ok!
Don't have any free time to, I've got to be in the office 5 days a week.
“Trump played the same game Clinton did in 2016 by appealing for change” is only slightly different to “Trump played the same game Clinton did in 2016 by announcing a candidacy and asking for votes”. All candidates pledge change of some variety.

They were both radically different candidates. And they certainly didn’t blend celebrity and politics in the same way: Clinton was in the senate for two terms before she ran!
I've been WFH since around 2017 or so. After a while, it starts to feel like I ship code into the void. Like I'm a freelancer who happens to be working for a company rather than an employee. This gets even worse after a round or two of layoffs and/or reorgs and being on teams with people I've never met.

I had to visit our office (first time since Jan 2020) to do some emergency heads down work with my teammates and it's incredible how I had forgotten what it feels like to be part of a company.

With that combined with the fact that people are increasingly bad at hiding the fact that they're often just taking off mid-afternoon (always fun to need a set of eyes for a critical hotfix pull request and get radio silence on Teams!), the difficulty of focusing at home, and the expense of trying to live somewhere with an extra bedroom or area as a dedicated home office, and I really wish I could go back to the office. Unfortunately I don't live in the same state as the office anymore, so I am stuck like this for now.
I moved back to SF in 2021 after living outside Yosemite (in Mariposa) for a year. There've been ups and downs.
Great idea; I've used an electric hob my whole life and hate my glasstop electric for everything but cleaning it.
To be fair, not everyone who optimizes for cash is "obsessed with cash" or a "cash obsessed optimizer" -- life circumstances like dependent family, the oppression of college debt, etc make stability of a large corporation attractive to some, even if they would take on risk given other circumstances.

Example: taking 80k/yr out of college while having to retire 2k/month of college debt, then using the rest to afford bay area rent + commuting expenses + rest of life would have been hard and arguably not a good use of a young person's early career phase. They might opt instead to work at a bigco until their debt was sufficiently retired, then with the safety net of {an established career + no debt + some money in the bank} swinging for the fences at a startup later. You're more likely to get leadership roles at startups when you have a few years under your belt anyway.
> It’s none of my business, but nonetheless it angers me.

Why does it anger you so much that different people have their own situations and preferences?

What I dislike the most about the WFH vs RTO debate is how the strongest advocates on each side seem completely baffled by the other.

Chips and Cheese, tip of the hat on 1 April 2023. Took me a few seconds to figure this one out.
Looks like you can get at the NHTSA data using their API. It does up to 50 a page - here's the paginated output for (I think) model year 2020:

https://api.nhtsa.gov/vehicles/bySearch?productDetail=all&da...

So you could iterate through that for all of 2020, then for 2019, then 2018 etc.

Looks like you can get detailed recall information for a specific make/model/year from this API: https://api.nhtsa.gov/recalls/recallsByVehicle?modelYear=202...
It's an unpopular opinion perhaps, but I think infinite backwards compatibility for web HTML/CSS/JS will need to be broken eventually… at some point the cruft becomes too much to wade through and number of optimizations that are unrealizable as a result too great to ignore. If nothing else there will probably need to be a mode that pages can opt into that breaks anything older than a certain cutoff point in exchange for a performance boost.

Big food companies pushing carbs while funding anti-low carb diet studies have nothing to do with it.
TSMC has been badgering their customers to move to 28nm for the past year. They've even been building out more 193nm capacity usable down to N12 because they can do it without waiting on ASML (Nikon can provide 193nm immersion lithography equipment) since ASML is where all the EUV advanced node supply chain holdup actually is. For everything that's not EUV probably 2024 is when wafer starts stop being insane.

The rest of us waiting for high end processes to expand in availability and drop in price? ASML basically has an infinite waitlist at this point.
"I would like if the Prusa i3 MK4 were also completely open, but if it isn't then I will simply spend my money elsewhere."

I may like my coworkers just fine but there are a thousand other reasons why being in the office or physically around them is not so fun. Smelling the smokers/smoke sometimes for hours when someone leaves the smoker room door open or the constant coughing or the ever so slightly audible music through their headphones may all seem like non-problems to the people who cause them but it's not so nice to be on the receiving end. I highly suspect that all these so called sociable people are often being sociable at a cost to others. And taking these random social breaks all the time is not productive, it doesn't matter how much they paint a picture of these amazing ideas that come out from randomly meeting someone in the hallway. Also I have never met someone who actually likes going to the office more than working from home so it might literally be people who have their own office at the office, aka: bosses, higher ups. I mean if I had my own entire office at work then I wouldn't mind so much either. I actually temporarily had my own office for a while and it felt great. Total peace and quiet and you can still talk to people in person when someone wants to. Then it changes and all the small problems reappear.

No twisting required, you just posted a whole comment full of blatantly racist stereotypes.
Curry loosely translates to gravy. Without a more specific term describing the type of curry it's a little pointless.

Ever go to an Italian restaurant and say "I ll have the pasta"?
There's a qualification of some importance missing here:

77% of young Americans who applied ... were rejected for various reasons.

ie: Most young people who want to join the forces don't meet the minimum standards.

Perhaps the vast bulk of people that do meet those standards see no future for themselves in the US forces and don't apply.

And there's no easily teased out figure on the health of young Americans in general here w/out additional info about application rates and demographics.
I can't quite put my finger on why, but I've always found it odd to just give blanket "respect and credit" just because someone/thing "did it first". Yeah a lot of times it's justified, but I mean, if you have to put caveats on it like ya did...

I dunno.
Cost of housing is a policy problem that can be fixed.
If you define "average person" as W2 income only, then yeah, there aren't many. If you're married and your spouse can put enough time in to be a "qualified participant", you can you offset W2 income with rental losses (including depreciation).

But for the "average person", you're looking more at investment opportunities - real estate using a 1031 exchange, investing in Opportunity Zones, etc.

You may not be able to avoid taxes on W2 income, but you might be able to shift around when that income is recognized and reduce your overall tax rate.
If anyone from Mozilla is reading, I want to switch to Firefox. But I used to have a Firefox account with 2fa and lost my backup keys. The best part they won't even let me delete that account and start new even if I sent a mail from that same email account. I don't want to create another Gmail account just for Firefox.

If you want to do a through hike in the US, don’t follow this approach. You can’t believe how much bigger the place is than the anywhere in Europe.

I have hiked sections of the PCT without seeing another human for a week. Other western trails are even more desolate.

Also backcountry trails are rarely marked, except at some trailheads. The government maps were mostly made in the 1970s and contain trails that don’t exist any more (and of course don’t include newer trails).

My preference is to carry topo maps + compass and carry a small GPS for emergencies if I cannot locate myself.

In Canada the typos are quite good but have in my experience even less trail or stream information.

In both countries I recommend planning trips with someone local who knows the territory.
1. "Drug use" probably includes soft drugs like cannabis.

2. Basically any diagnosis of a mental health condition, like ADHD, will block military service. This is true even if symptoms are well managed without medication. The rise of diagnosis of these conditions combined with digital records means a lot of people are prohibited to join due to mental health that would have been overlooked in previous decades.

3. This serves as the official excuse for why recruitment numbers are down. IMO recruitment numbers are down because Iraq/Afghanistan was such a shitshow.

Sure glad I lost my job to help some billionaires get richer.
> Some early-stage startups that try to court you will instead take a $10k check on the spot as an early investment.

How often are you seeing these deals?

In my experience, any company raising in increments of $10K is really only doing so as a way to get people invested (literally) so they can continue to hit them up for funding, connections, and networking later on. $10K doesn’t really go very far in terms of paying employees.

Of course that’s fine if it works out that way, but I’ve also seen companies who gather $10K from every random person who can invest end up with some wacky cap tables, which becomes a turnoff to future investors. This creates weird situations where they put a lot of pressure on buying people out of their investments just to clean up the cap table. Again, could be fine for a quick turnaround but it’s not quite the same as investing for the long term.

And then there’s the fact that most angel investments are just going to go to zero, but that’s the nature of the game.
IIRC, Tom Tom One was an XUL app
> many things that are UB in C/C++ are UB because they are really hard to verify at compile time which makes them almost impossible to program around

The second half of the sentence doesn't follow from the first. Take everyone's favorite example, signed integer overflow: all you have to do to avoid UB on signed integer overflow is check for overflow before doing the operation (and C23 finally adds features to do that for you).

Taking a step back, the fundamental thing about UB is that it is very nearly always a bug in your code (and this includes especially integer overflow!). Even if you gave well-defined semantics to UB, the semantics you'd give would very rarely make the program not buggy. Complaining that we can't prove programs free of UB is tantamount to complaining that we can't prove programs free of bugs.

It actually turns out that UB is actually extremely helpful for tools that try to help programmers find bugs in their code. Since UB is automatically a bug, any tool that finds UB knows that it found a bug; if you give it well-defined semantics instead, it's a lot trickier to assert that it's a bug. In a real-world example, the infamous buffer overflow vulnerability Heartbleed stymied most (all?) static analyzers for the simple reason that, due to how OpenSSL did memory management, it wasn't actually undefined behavior by C's definition. Unsigned integer overflow also falls into this bucket--it's very hard to distinguish between intentional cases of unsigned integer overflow (e.g., hashing algorithms) from unintentional cases (e.g., calculating buffer sizes).
My first job after college, we created a healthcare app first using Gtk+ (crazy) with some insane SQL bindings to embedded Firebird database (my youth)... Eventually, after chatting with my brother and some other folks at Mozilla I decided XULRunner was the way forward. So while on a trip to Spain for 4 days I rewrote almost the whole app converting piles of Gtk+ C++ code into JavaScript and wrapping up our Firebird calls into XPCOM interfaces.

My main take aways from that experience...

1. Gtk+ is not a great choice at least in 2004 for Windows... but hacking the windows event loop is kinda fun.

2. Embedding C++ into JavaScript was amazing then and still now one of the coolest things about Ruby,Python,JavaScript is being able to write bindings in C/C++ so much fun.

3. XUL was at least in 2005/6 just not as good at rendering as HTML... and it kind of makes sense everyone was hammering away at HTML by browsing the internet. So while XUL had some really great tools, not being HTML meant it just never had the same amount of attention... and as CSS got better the layout abilities of HTML / CSS quickly became #1...
Figma's not a great example of "buying to kill" though -- I'd guess that Adobe would sooner deprioritize their existing products that compete with Figma and redirect their effort. And I don't see much wrong with FB buying Instagram or Adobe buying Figma or Google buying YouTube because these services actually got better to the consumer's benefit (and I guess to a limited extent the enriched early employees perpetuate the startup ecosystem).

In the case of Google & YouTube, I wonder if YouTube would even be able to turn a profit as an independent company (maybe today they could, but for most of their life I suspect they were unable generate any profit). I love having YouTube and would have been sad if they had to close their doors because nobody had deep enough pockets to nurture it into profitability.

Cruise & GM is another example of a potentially good purchase, since self-driving tech is going to require a lot of patience.

To be clear, I don't think monopolies are healthy in general since they perturb natural supply/demand signals, but there's certainly nuance in terms of how some of these deals benefit/hurt the general public based on whether the monopolist entities have vision and appetite for long term investment that would otherwise be tough to swallow.
He has a stutter, which is a physical issue that he has always had, not a mental one. It requires him to rethink sentences that he has already begun saying because it's impossible to know which words will trigger the stutter. IMO his ability to do that shows the he is mentally acute, not that he isn't. Not sure if you've ever realized halfway through a sentence that you can't say the next word, but it's not an easy situation to be in. His ability to overcome that physical disability is inspiring and imo a makes him a much better politician, even if it leads to struggles.
It's definitely not gone unnoticed. It's the entire reason why Gecko-based native browsers like Camino[0], K-Meleon[1], and the since-turned-WebKit Epiphany[2] existed alongside Firefox. The only reason those ceased to exist is because Mozilla elected to kill Gecko embedding (which in retrospect, also set the stage for Blink and WebKit's dominance with how important embedding would become).
