Ask HN: Why did Google remove serach in Chrome bookmarks
I bookmark a lot of sites in chrome into various folders. Previously, there is a search box that i can search my bookmarks. The search is not good (ironically), but at least there is a search box. Now i found out they have completely removed the search box making it unsusable. Who is the genius from chrome team who decided to do this? do you even use bookmark function at all? it is frustrating.
While I do agree with you to the certain degree - I'd add a side note that the movement does not share a single dogma nor there's a body that could lay down one. Rastafari as a movement is splintered into smaller sects (or houses or mansions as they are references within the movement) - each one holding varying views of what ever topic at hand. And as you pointed out some of them are not very friendly - that's always the case when fundamentalism enters the picture.

But that said, I would personally argue that statement that the "whole movement" or every "rasfafari" falls into your assumption is 100% not true. On comparison - If I'd point out that every christian in States is fundamental lunatic there would be people wanting to lynch me.

And just to point out; this is purely anecdata on my own behalf. I've been in contact with various people / mansions for past 33 years and i am "officially" part one of the biggest / global houses but i dont really go under that banner anymore because of the fundamental views of some people within those circles make me sick. But its still not the whole movement.

Ha, I remember being so impressed with the "anti-skip protection" on my Discman because I could mount it on the handlebars of my bicycle and it wouldn't skip nearly as much as my old Discman. What a time to be alive!
The key assumption here is (for me):

> In an ever inflating economy, ...

Inflating the economy has been working over the course of the last century or even longer.

What many people appear to be oblivious of is that this growth has been fundamentally based upon a few factors: (a) very useful innovations in science/technology, (b) population growth and (c) almost limitless and thus cheap fossil energy in combination with ecosystems as basically humanity's landfill for all the waste streams of our ignorant and half-assed make-a-quick-buck-products.

(a) may very well continue delivering efficiency/productivity gains over decades to come or forever.

(b) and especially (c) are hitting ceilings right now.

I think this "ever inflating economy" has only been possible without much more frequent financial collapses because there was all this extra potential for use/misuse of natural resources available. This is what kept filling in actual consumable value/goods for all the inflated $.

With this extra potential becoming smaller and used up I very much doubt the current economic model can be kept running for more than another 15-20 years.

And with modern monetary theory MMT economists enticing politicians and naive optimists with their "yes, there is free lunch for everyone, don't you all worry about running deficits" message, the whole economic system is set up for hitting the ecological limits with the foot still on the accelerator.

> Oh, yeah, the simple times before everybody learned that time is a local and observer-dependent measure. Modern computers do almost none time-based at-distance synchronization.

This is a very odd response. Nothing you write here directly contradicts the parent comment and yet you seem to imply that you have a point that is the opposite of the parent comment.

You seem to be going off on a tangent without addressing the main point that chips do depend on a clock firing periodically and that clock interval determining how long the circuitry waits for its pins to achieve a stable binary state before the next state transition. That was the original point of the parent comment and that point is still valid.
Pure gold.
Did you ever try the Microsoft Visual Studio XSLT debugger from DotNet? The first time I tried it from C# was mind-blowing. Suddenly, it became possible to manage complex XSLT scripts!

Absolutely. Have a great night.
I have an old wemos ESP32 board that for some reason, the CP2102 IC heats up if connected to a USB charger, but works fine when connected to a PC. Probably some design flaw? Also that specific board is no longer available so if you 3D print an enclosure or make your PCB around it, it becomes useless. Compare that with boards from nRF or ST or Pico which will be available for a minimum of 10 years. Pico W is the same price as a ESP32 board.
Some immediate problems with this idea:

- A lot of files they mention aren't random metadata but critical parts of the project. Stuff like package.json, Dockerfile, build configs etc. should not be hidden away.

- For a lot of other files like .git, .gitignore, .dockerignore their exact path matters to their operation, especially since a lot of them are hierarchical as well.

The author's sole problem seems to be that their project root is too cluttered, and some people here have a better suggestion - fix it at the UI layer instead. Have VS Code (or whatever other file browser) automatically put these files in a virtual sub-folder.
> I'm open to this argument because it's clear that many people take it this way, but how else would you state it? Everywhere else in English, an adjective limits the scope of the noun it's attached to. "Toxic chemicals" doesn't imply that chemicals are inherently toxic, "red car" doesn't imply that cars are inherently red. "Toxic" is probably needlessly sensational though, I'll grant that.

I have an idea. Maybe it has nothing to do with the syntax of the term in the abstract and all to do with what a large number of people using it actually mean. If the term had no history of abuse, this wouldn't be a problem, exactly as you say. What we see in the actual world though is what people really mean by the term. The people using it are misandrists (evidenced by things like the other terms mentioned in the GP) and so the term has come to be a sort of slur; they just hate men and genuinely believe that masculinity is toxic tout court and they have a very hard time hiding it despite simultaneously spouting off otherwise reasonable theories. In other words, they don't mean what they claim to mean by it and people can detect this, so the term has become tarnished.
Nonsense, you could buy them but they were pretty boring and shallow compared to the French/Belgian/Dutch stuff.
> There is no such thing as an extended family unless there are strong nuclear families to begin with.

I disagree on that point. It takes a village to raise a child, and a large enough extended family has space for all sorts. Not everyone is called to the married life: I agree that divorce is a problem, but divorce rates would go down quite a bit if those for whom marriage is not compatible with their personality didn't get married in the first place, and there was a space for them to thrive within the family/community.

My proposed responder can be easily automated. It might cost them no money in court, but it costs them human salaries - and that's the point.

We have to make DMCA takedowns an unfeasible business model to change the status quo of bad actors.
very culturally dependent. In Germany, the first offer is the offer. If you refuse it, there will not be a second one; and making a second, third offer, in turn, would be rude in Germany, as it is pestering and assumes I'm lying with the first answer or I don't know what I want. How dare you assume this? :D

The English always think the Germans terribly rude. In turn, Germans find these English (also Irish, I guess) conventions of running around things fifteen times for ritual terribly exhausting, a complete waste of time and honestly, just an outright lie.

Take email rules. Germans ridicule this "Hi, how are you, how's the family?" loop before the email (or phone call, or meeting) comes to "I need this from you." A German mail is "Hi, I need this. Thanks."
That is not rude at all; the contrary, you did not force your family on me and didn't pretend to care about things that you do NOT care about, and you didn't impose on me with private things from strangers that I do not care about. (in the English mail, signified by the fact that there are no actual answers. "Fine!" .... Great, that was useless and just signaled openly that we really do not care and the question was, in fact, a lie.)
If I wanted to automate I would use a bulk VoIP service.

You are focussing on the wrong point, I only mentioned that because I could get on these services with a disposable number.
And usually those that take the classes would have done fine anyway since they are engaged in parenting. I am critical of a governmental breeding licence, even if it is just for additional monetary support. Difficult to quantify anything that reflects successful parenting and the bureaucracy would probably be counter productive. Stressed parents are often bad parents, you don't want to make it worse with audits.

Also, as someone not from the US who heard unsubstantiated rumors about parents getting in trouble with law enforcement for leaving their kids alone for 5 minutes, I doubt this could in any way be sensibly handled. Similar problem exist in other countries too of course.

Best make room in school for some basic education, as there isn't any in most countries.

White House announces $40B in broadband funding
It wasn't that many years ago people did word bubble (frequencies) of reddit subreddits, and both Feminist and Mens Rights Activists subs was very similar. The most common word in the Feminist one was "Men", and the most common word for Mens Rights Activists was Women". The second most common word was also symmetric, Women in the first and Men in the other.

It is not symmetric to assume that all female equality issues and all male equality issues must be the fault of men. People are human. Faults in human society is from humans, and humans are 50% women and 50% men.

I'll give just one obvious one: XML is far more resilient against syntax errors. Miss a closing tag in XML and a clever parser might even be able to infer it. With JSON, you know you're missing a brace at the end, but you have no idea where it should go.
> Toxic masculinity is absolutely a thing, think things like refusing to admit you're wrong, being overly aggressive and escalating situations, being overly boastful, being reluctant to show emotions other than anger.

In general, women do all of this all of the time except the last. So you see the problem.
Sentc An End-to-end encryption SDK with groups, serverside keyrotation and files
Moin,

Im working on an end-to-end encryption sdk with user- and group management.

The sdk is currently available for javascript (in browser) and flutter (android and windows). The core sdk is written in rust and is cross compiled to the targets.

- doc: https://sentc.com/

- the core sdk: https://github.com/sentclose/sentc

- the api: https://github.com/sentclose/sentc-api

- js: https://github.com/sentclose/sentc-javascript

- flutter: https://github.com/sentclose/sentc-flutter

Im focusing on groups and subgroups with server side key rotation (but the server still don't know the keys) and large encrypted file handling (even in browser).

I hope you may like it. If you have questions, just ask.

Have a great day and thank you for your time.

Well, most people are not against free money falling from the sky. So while I get your snappy comment, I also feel like if someone was willing to pay, there is obviously still enough free money around, so no problem for me in particular.
Haha yeah I can say, with the same sincerity, that I get occasional calls about fixing PHP apps that I built 2007-2013. They've been running (without upgrades) on some forgotten server in a multinational corporation.

I tell them that they should let their compliance department know, that the version of PHP isn't even supported, and I list some of the thousand security fixes that they aren't using.

I usually end up VPN/FTP:ing into a forgotten era to add the fixes and I definitely don't want to go back.
How about Win 3.11 ? It has networking support, you know.
> My MacBook has 460GB of data. Time Machine backups are atomic: a backup either completes or it doesn’t. And when it doesn’t, the backup needs to start all over again.

> Initially, backups were ridiculously slow: around 2 Mbits/s, meaning it would take around 21 days to back up the full drive. During that time, you can’t power cycle the server or take your laptop out of your wifi network or you need to start all over again.

This is why I'd rather play with fire than subject myself to such stupid implementation of a basic backup function.
Great website! I really like the endeavor.
Does that disqualify their problems? I don't get your sentiment.
I think the only people who think exercise solves depression are those that have never suffered clinical depression. Dopamine from exercise is pretty much a temporary relief. Just like drinking, smoking, or binging netflix - they provide temporary relief and let us ignore the root problems.

Therapy is what finally taught me how to actually process my thoughts and feelings, and let me make real progress against depression.

And now, when I go for an outside run or walk, I can spend that time focusing purely purely on my internal thoughts/feelings. Done like this, exercise can be a great therapeutic activity - but it's not the dopamine or act of exercise itself, it's creating the time for self-therapy.

I mean, yeah? Ansible has roles, collections and a great inventory system. There's a lot of extra steps if you want to use a shell script instead, to i.e. install Docker on multiple hosts running different OS versions. I don't really like Ansible, but I think it's quite good for provisioning. It's also super easy to write filters and plugins for extra functionality.

> what Debian Sid is to Debian stable.

I've heard that a lot but I don't think this is an adequate comparison (yes even with the disclaimer in the next paragraph). First of all because of the relative stability of Fedora, I've been updating my OS since Fedora 29 and every major upgrade is mostly boring. Second, there are some decisions made in Fedora that wouldn't make sense if it was merely a test bed, removing the whole Java stack comes to mind, or more recently the libreoffice debacle.

Developing each new CRDT including its merge strategies is a fundamental research problem.

How likely is it that the right one exists (or that you can combine a few of them) to express some arbitrary, application defined consistency rule or merge strategy?

On top of that, any solution would have to agree with all your other requirements, such as your chosen degree of normalisation, your performance requirements, etc.
SQL is a pretty decent language. Sure it could be improved and made more intuitive and maybe even simpler. Relational data maps directly to objects if you have halfway decent tooling. SQL is almost 50 years old now - it'll be here for a long time because it is actually useful paradigm that has not been outdone by other paradigms (so far).

While you are right that Neo4j license was altered more substantively, @keepamovin still made a rather big restriction by stating that GPLv3-licensed BrowserBox is only available "For open-source use" (thus it's no longer "unadulterated"). It restricts me from using that software under the terms of GPLv3 without making my system open-source. That's why I suggested AGPLv3 if @keepamovin wants to ensure that applications relying on open-source version of BrowserBox remain open-source.
There's a hell of a question . . .

That particular mine pit will probably be fine (for reasons of geology and tailings treatment, etc . . . " However "

The Berkeley Pit in Butte, Montana, is the cautionary tale everyone wants to avoid.

The 1.6km-by-800m copper mine closed in 1982 and gradually filled with water irreversibly contaminated with sulphuric acid, copper, arsenic, cadmium and zinc from the surrounding rock.

In 2016, some 3000 migrating snow geese were killed when they landed on the toxic brew. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must pump out and treat the water – forever.

It's certainly worth highlighting that past Western Australian mines have not ben rehabbed to any notable standard:

Mine rehab in WA is the pits: Inquiry finds few success stories (2017)

and worth noting that articles such as the one linked above are part of a swelling campaign by land holders and others with leverage to bake clean up costs into resource licencing.
Wholeheartedly agree, the thought that we can school our way out this seems overly simplistic. And I'd go as far as to say the schooling philosophy is part of this pathology.

Society decided to dump most doctrinal support but unfortunately this has left a significant portion of the masses with little direction. But also many have little inclination or time to work it out for themselves. And even if you did start to read Jung, Nietzsche, Hegel, Hiedeger or whichever philosopher you chose there's a myriad of directions one could take it and it's a heady mix. I've started to read these philosophers but I bring it a traditional Creator grounding and it's still pretty wild.

Ultimately I don't think we have a clue what we're doing and we are prone to getting very scared and taking it out on those around us or in our care.
Ask HN: Resources for internationalization with Ruby character languages
We have a React based e-commerce site that in a few months should be made ready for the Korean market. It's a pretty standard Western type e-commerce site. I'm looking for any resources on design issues one should think about when porting an English design to Korean - specifically I worry about Ruby characters.

Unfortunately googling for Ruby Characters internationalization and variations thereof is not very helpful.

So hopefully someone knows some resources I could use to prepare for it instead of learning whatever problems there as I encounter them?
