That's great, but the crisis in question happened before 35. The psychology of quarter-life and mid-life crises is also very different.

Really cool how you can see Firefox speed enhancements showing up in discrete steps.

I am surprised to see Chrome faster than Chromium. What is google doing in their branded flavor?
Seems like they are assuming the same key was used to forge tokens and jump from that assumption to the conclusion that they found all instances of requests. If more keys were used to generate more tokens, isn’t it possible this attack had a much wider surface area?
> Therapy is a scam and no doctor can explain how or why anti-depressants work (also why they have people "try" many before finding the "right one for you").

We also don't know the mechanism behind how anaesthesia works, this doesn't mean anaesthetists are grifters.

Mental health issues are not easily distinguished, "depression" is a cluster of conditions which probably have different treatment responses but all present alike. It's not unusual that some people will respond to SSRIs, others will need beta blockers and a third group will need talk therapy.
I don't know if it's a feature of Swig, but Swig C++ modules are also hard to use from Python, because they're missing reflection, docstrings, etc. I don't know if it was a shortcoming of the Swig module I was working with (e.g. author didn't bother to add docstrings) or the Swig itself, but it was pretty uncomfortable working with module that provides zero runtime documentation and incomplete documentation.

Also, structure of the resulting module, classes, methods was kind of unpythonic.
My first post to Threads:

“A little competition is a good thing. Welcome to Threads…”

Competition is critical to get the best systems. Apple vs Windows. Android vs iOS,Intel vs AMD…
Interesting how some of these is very similar to 20th C art movements like Cubism, Impressionism, Pointillism and Constructivism. Picasso et al

Many of which were very much actively practicing altering, expanding or engaging with different aspects or modes of perception.

(edit: also funny how art has its own type of elaborate legalese-type language to (deliberately im-)precisely capture its diverse and expansive meanings)
You mean the rock solid userland foundation and the state of the art compiler? (Insert a modified "What have the Romans ever done for us?" sketch here.) I'll happily acknowledge their work I enjoy every day, GNUflecting doesn't seem a high price to pay ;)
EDIT: Missed a section of the readme. Ignore the following.

Maddy mentions actual security features (DMARC, MTA-STS, DANE, DNSSEC, DKIM) in its overview and compatibility with rspamd etc. (which is rather vital if you want to properly handle spam).
Isn't this the captain obvious outcome?

Or were people seriously thinking Threads would completely eat up Twitter's lunch and they could finally announce "the king is dead, long live the king."?
Not every midlife assessment leads to a crisis.

I use profiles extensively and would love to know which extension you are using. Containers cover most of my sandboxing needs for private browsing, but I prefer to have a separate Firefox profile for business accounts/apps.
If you're on old car guy, you'll know he's purposely exaggerating for effect and pulling many issues across the car's time and placing them all together. Many of us have faced the issues he's describing at different times with older cars and so we can relate and nod our heads. The fact that he's a professor of automotive engineering, and has pictures of the drivetrain out of the car and a welder in hand doing bodywork shows that he doesn't actually drive a neglected 914 like a foolish teenager.

I've bought many an abused old car, including a 951 a couple years ago that had many similar issues. So I know what he's talking about. That doesn't mean I didn't fix the car and have it running smoothly now.

I don't think people with kids should weaken their midlife crisis. Kids adapt and maybe they'd prefer a more lively parent to a resigned one?

And compared to divorce, a midlife crisis has a lot more upsides.
I absolutely refuse to be a “contractor” or anything that looks like “staff augmentation”.

Strategic consulting where I am talking to decision makers and people in control of budgets where I’m brought in for expertise is different.

When I was a dev lead and saw the difference between what we were paying “consultants in name only” staff aug C# developers and what we were paying “AWS consultants” who were just old school net ops folks who knew how to duplicate on prem infrastructure and processes and make it more expensive in the cloud, it changed my entire career trajectory.

I knew I could bring more to the table as someone who had a development background, knew some about infrastructure if I knew “cloud”.

I spent the next two years getting experience.
Chrome's most of the snappiness is coming from how it handles the DNS queries internally from my experience.

Pair Firefox with a fast DNS, and it's noticably faster than Chrome, for the last 3 years or so.

I discovered it accidentally, after switching to local DNS at the office. We run one of the nation-wide ones in a pretty close proximity in network terms.
>All should have been hits.

Why? Is it not possible the proportion of the population that wants to watch movies (especially non novel ones) in movie theaters is trending lower and lower?

Based on the fact that the examples you listed are all sequels, the quality of the content is also suffering, but it is very possible that even if it was not suffering, the demand would be lower.

This is indeed fantastic, but paired with container proxies, it's awesome.

You can send a few tabs through one socks proxy, a few through another, all while segmenting that from work, personal, etc. if you have a vpn for one work location and different ones for other work.
I have been on HN a lot more since ditching Reddit recently and somehow I think it's actually worse than Reddit with commenters not reading the article
Firefox is a great browser and Mozilla is a (generally) great organization. It's my daily driver on all my devices (except my TV ha), it's fast and has great plugins that also work in mobile. Philosophically I'm very much a "root for the underdog" type of person so it makes me happy that way, too. Only very rarely (every few months) am I forced to use Chrome for a site - and in my view, that's a huge ding on the site devs, not on Firefox.

It's strange hearing reports of "scroll lag" in the other comments. It's possible I'm just lucky. Or there's a misconfiguration somewhere in their setup that Chrome somehow avoids.

It's true that I still mostly use Chrome for webdev - I've become more used to it's (excellent) dev tools, even though Firefox and Firebug started that whole trend. It feels very right to separate my "user browser" from my "dev browser" in this way!
There is a lot of good articles on cache effects, this is one of them. On the other hand, I've yet to find a good article on how to effectively find such cache-related issues in your programs, with perf for example. Can you suggest something on this matter?

In some ways profiles works better, and in others container tabs does.

I have two password managers, one for work and one for home. Multiple profiles lets me work with both.

Container tabs lets me log into a site multiple times, or when they have a session cookie that prevents me from navigating to two different flows.

Both great, both fill completely different niches.
Not to mention that the things the user wants to see are probably early in the load order and all the worthless garbage is coming in later.
Well, most of HN probably does interact with the working class often, seeing as everyone here loves public transit...

>Wouldn't really talk about aviation.

But I would. Flying is incredibly safe for putting people in aluminium tubes kilometers above the surface of the earth and propelled by combusting fans of immense power.

The idea that flying has become a low risk means of transportation is absolutely incredible and a real testament to safety standards working.
> We this that if JPM rises higher than XLF then it will soon revert and trade lower shortly. Likewise, if JPM falls lower than XLF then we think it will soon trade higher.

Why?
Except that's a non-sequitur because you can totally keep separate string length fields.

The only NUL that C requires is the NUL following C string literals, and you can even easily define char-arrays without NUL.

char buf[5] = "Hello";

or even

#define DEFINE_NONZ_STRING(name, lit) char name[sizeof lit - 1] = lit "";

Can also easily build pointer + length representations, without even a runtime strlen() cost.

struct String { const char *buf, int len; };
#define STRING(lit) ((String) { (lit ""), sizeof lit - 1 })
In my experience, service in the US is amazing and tipping is practically mandatory, while in the UK, tipping is mostly optional and service is very variable. That's correlation, but I have no idea if any causation is at play and, if it is, in which direction.
Thanks for the link. Some personal thoughts:

I think the effort to standardize what is meant by a term like "open source" is generally good, but I also think the meaning of language is always up for debate, and the OSI's definitions are only right if they are useful.

Of the two clauses you pulled out of the EL2 license, the first one - "You may not provide the software to third parties as a hosted or managed service ..." - seems fine to me as "open source", while the second - "You may not move, change, disable, or circumvent the license key functionality ..." - seems not-fine.

(So for what it's worth, because of that second clause, I am agreeing with you that this license shouldn't be called "open source" - but it seems unfortunate for OP if they aren't relying on that clause.)

I think the issue I have is with the 6th OSI definition you pulled out - "No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor" - it seems to me like that one could use some tweaking. I do think it's important that the ability to run "Derived Works" is not limited by "field of endeavor", but I think selling managed software as a service could be a specific carve-out to that. It seems totally reasonable and not violating the spirit of "open source" to say you can modify and self-host for any purpose, but you can't re-sell.

Just that you can do `|> foo()` implicitly into the first argument or, via another package mentioned in the official docs, `|> foo(_)`. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, I was just trying to understand the comment way up this thread that said: "Writing them, you feel insecure of what is happening" as that makes no sense to me.
This is entirely irrelevant unfortunately. You could be able to send substitute and still be in-scope of IR35. It's ultimately down to the client's risk appetite.

Is motorcycle parking still free (or unenforced) in most of Manhattan? I did this for many years (sometimes with a motorcycle cover as people recommended, but sometimes without) and was never ticketed.

In Boston it was the same policy until recently when they started enforcing motorcycle parking extremely strictly - basically requiring motorcycles to buy a car spot once the very few motorcycle parking spots are filled up.

Yes, but that's the reason for the distinction. The linux-user experience is coming from the debian-cointainer, with limitations which are not comparable to the user experience of a full debian installation from my understanding. The core is isolated from the user, and irrelevant.

In the same way one should ask, are ChromeOS-Installations also counted for the android-marketshare? Do WSL-Installations on windows count to the desktop-linux-share too? Does wine-usage count for windows-installations? They all are important, but also a bit special on their own. How do statistics handle them?

Anything you can "time nslookup" in or under 0.03 seconds (in "real" terms).

From my desk:

local one - 0.029 seconds
1.1.1.1 - 0.035 seconds
8.8.8.8 - 0.120 seconds

Normally it should be, but Firefox's behavior is very sensitive to DNS response speed. Sounds not intuitive, but I think they're not using glibc's caching, or doing something by themselves.
That depends on the kind of contract you have.

Comparing different legal systems and different practical implementations of those systems is hard - but I think the basic claim, that there's a inverse correlation between employee's rights and economic growth, isn't visible within the EU or elsewhere.

The UK is a good example because they have aggressively reduced the safeguards for workers (between 2014-2017 it was essentially a state with no safeguards if you could not afford the employment tribunal process), and is also an example of consistent poor economic growth.

Firefox does the same thing too unfortunately, and it doesn't seem like it can be turned off.

It's a real pita for the same reason. Needed to look at browser history older than a few months and discovering it's all been deleted (by Firefox) was a very unpleasant experience.

Seems to be a needless data loss "optimisation" (sic), but I have no idea what the real world use case for that would be.
The difference is that DVD collections were mostly created by movie fans. You had a small, but loyal audience of people that would wait every Tuesday for releases similar to movie releases.

Getting $20-30 per DVD from this audience was much more lucrative than the cents you get per stream when competing against the algorithm of "what should I watch next". It's a VERY different market now. Smaller stuff just doesn't compete.

Once you remove the need to personally curate and review (think also towards the death of the film critic), you introduce a homogenization to the industry.

Streaming is fantastic for convenience. It is terrible for variety, despite the illusion that we're overloaded with choice. The modern streaming system hides everything in plain site. It is almost impossible for me to "browse" streaming sites the way I used to in a Blockbuster or Best Buy. Discovery is much harder.
Samsung Foundry's 3nm and 4nm Yields Are Improving
I found this section interesting:

>[Non-programmer programmers becoming/being SMEs] is great for a while; finally someone can fix all the annoying known issues in that space that have been lingering for a while.

Followed a whole sentence later with:

>If something is only getting done because someone that "isn’t a dev resource” wants to work on it, then that’s a sign that it shouldn’t be getting done.

Yes it's qualified that it's "a sign" but if you have annoying known issues that are customer facing (even if only internal customers) sitting open in perpetuity you're probably under resourcing those areas. If you're doing that it's likely that those areas could disappear and the company would be better off or should be charged at a higher rate to external customers so they are properly maintained.

As a whole having the codebase be accessible is just open source writ small: a small number of people will be interested enough to take part and they'll often not be fully aware of the code culture when they submit a PR leading to more work for the maintainer. But they were also interested or annoyed enough to clear the hurdle of submitting one and maybe that's a sign something should be getting done in that area.
