It's not default on anything and gmail users naturally default to it. It doesn't market as much as MS and Google either. People using firefox specifically seek it out. I'd wager, at least 80% of users haven't heard of firefox.

I was on a call with people from big G several years ago, explaining issues I had with a product in firefox and out of 3-4 of their people (not engineers or very technical people), not one knew what firefox was, even as I shared my screen. I don't blame them, just pointing out how outside of tech people circles firefox does not really exist even as a term. Back in the day, it made a name for itself as an IE alternative but now it is forgotten thanks to Chrome.

I've worked at several big companies, one of the few policies they all had was "chrome is the only approved browser".

This is unlikely, since Native AOT is not exactly a separate flavour, it builds right on the same compiler optimizations, sans those that are possible with JIT only. In addition, years of development is a bad, bad proxy for the results. .NET had been changing very slowly up until it went the .NET Framework -> .NET Core -> .NET OSS route. Since then, the last 4 years have brought more (performance and feature) changes than the previous 10+.

With .NET 8, I highly doubt JVM implementations would have superiority (with Dynamic PGO being enabled by default closing one of the avenues where HotSpot used to have an advantage), except maybe in certain niche scenarios.

Also, Java can no longer be compared to C# directly (because they are not equal in features, or even levels of abstractions you can go as of now). A fair comparison would be Kotlin for higher level and Go for lower level scenarios.
I'm not disputing that, but you can't blow up someone's bridges and expect them to want to play nice. It's not realistic.

> you think 26 years is "long term storage".

It's not about it being 26 years, it's about it being longer than the time needed to actually build the long-term solution, and no solution being planned because of political games.

Dry cask storage is the long-term prospect of US waste, but it's unrelated to producing electricity or the actual cost of anything. It's a political decision and paid for by government money, as it should be. Once politicians tire of wasting money, they can build the actual thing.

And if you believe this kind of stuff couldn't happen to your favorite technology, you're delusional.

Show HN: I built GitHub AI Assistant to find helpful repos for my project
Hi HN, excited to share a workflow automation I've built using some of the Lemon AI GitHub and Discord tools as well as Langchain and the GPT3.5 model.

My goal was to retrieve the top 5 starred GitHub repos in terms of star growth and then send this list to a Discord channel. I also wanted an idea of which of these starred repositories would be useful with my work using Lemon AI without the hassle of reading through any documentation.

I am also looking to build a similar workflow automation for HN launches soon. Would love to hear your feedback and understand whether you have other use cases in mind that would be cool to build!

> Yes, but that is the preference of anyone who believes that they're right and the others are wrong. Federalist pro-life voters certainly bemoan that any state allows for abortion.

Yes, I said something similar in my own comment.

> demonstrating overwhelming will of the people

The bar for "overwhelming" is too high. The status quo always benefits certain people over other people. So under this system, the status quo, and the people who already benefit from it, almost always win. And thus I claim, contrary to yours, that the country as a whole never benefits from the system.

> In this case, being able to move to places with the rights you want to have enshrined is a good option.

There's actually an important difference between having a freedom and having a right, and not every freedom needs to be a right. That's because freedom is the default in our system. No action is illegal unless a specific law is passed to outlaw that action. A Constitutional right means that the government cannot pass a law to outlaw an action. The Supreme Court struck down the right to abortion, but it did not thereby make abortion illegal. Women are still free to get an abortion, unless some government passes a law against it, which is now allowed. My point here is that you don't have to support a national Constitutional right to abortion in order to support the freedom to get an abortion. Consequently, there's still no reason to support the right of individual states to outlaw abortion, regardless of the Dobbs decision. The only reason that abortion is illegal anywhere is because individual states have passed specific laws banning it. It's a restriction of the default freedom. The states are the problem here, not the solution. There's no federal law banning abortion.

Of course there's a tradeoff here, because going back to the original long lost topic of the submitted article, regulating tech, if states have the right to pass more restrictive legislation than the federal government, that allows individual states to regulate tech in a way that Congress won't.

On the other hand, big tech companies have already shown the inclination to completely bypass entire states or indeed entire countries, so it's unclear how effectively individual states can regulate tech. And my personal opinion is that it's not a good tradeoff to allow state's rights for good causes when they have been so obviously and pervasively abused for bad causes.
> It's not saying much that stadiums have very favorable land prices, which aren't modeled in the games.

I'm an owner of Librem 5, Librem 15v3 and Librem 14. First one is the best phone one can dream of: runs desktop GNU/Linux without any proprietary blobs, has a replaceable battery (and I do have a spare one), WiFi and modem, kill switches (for camera/mic, WiFi/Bluetooth, modem), lifetime updates (from mainline Linux). Runs as a desktop if you connect a screen/keyboard.

Librem 15 is an amazing machine, still my daily driver with Qubes OS. Great keyboard, upgradeable RAM and disk, doesn't require any blobs in the userland.

Librem 14 is even better, with two .m2 SSD, upgradeable and powerful. Definitely checks many boxes in TFA. Too smal for my taste but great for travelling.

Yes, Purism has problems with refunds. Don't buy if you want to cancel your order. Everything else is great. Also, forums say that first versions of their devices may have rough edges. Wait until they are well tested to be sure. Librem 14 is well tested and many early problems were solved. Same for Librem 5.

It looks like a lot of people are missing the point here. Yes a coroutine library would be a worse/more cumbersome way to do concurrency than the go keyword.

The use case motivating all the complexity is function iterators, where `range` can be used on functions of type `func() (T, bool)`. That has been discussed in the Go community for a long time, and the semantics would be intuitive/obvious to most Go programmers.

This post addresses the next thing: Assuming function iterators are added to the language, how do I write one of these iterators that I can use in a for loop?

It starts by noticing that it is often very easy to write push iterators, and builds up to a push-to-pull adapter. It also includes a general purpose mechanism for coroutines, which the adapter is built on.

If all of this goes in, I think it will be bad practice to use coroutines for things other than iteration, just like it's bad practice to use channels/goroutines in places where a mutex would do.
And to make the concurrency safe you have to pay the price of synchronization.

https://go.dev/tour/concurrency/8

In A Tour of Go, concurrency section, "Equivalent Binary Trees" is an example of paying the price when you don't need it.

This mostly in terms of talcum-based baby powder, which is harder to find than hen's teeth at this point.

Somehow many cities took the leap from extremely pedestrian friendly in 1900 to completely car based, so "you can't just" is clearly not true. It just takes a lot of willpower, or in the case of cars, tons of lobbying.

>Google tells me that the average TCO of car ownership in the US was $10,728 in 2022. Between my partner and I, we're saving $20,000 per year not owning a car (and that's assuming a generous expenditure on bicycle TCO). High rents mean nothing when considering how much you save on not needing to own a car.

$10k seems suspiciously high. Maybe that's because everyone is buying overpriced pickups/SUVs? If all you want is a vehicle, you can get this[1] which the site calculates the TCO at $33,858 over 5 years, or $6.8k. I suspect that if you buy used or keep the car for longer (eg. 10-15 years, the average car age is 12.5 years in the US), you can get that number even lower.

I actually dread the day Helix eventually gets the WebAssembly plugins system that's been floated around. The current Helix culture of "you get a Kakoune-like editor that can do three categories of "bonus" things, and NOTHING ELSE" encourages a more manageable pace of development (and maybe more importantly: slower updates for those of us exhausted of software churn breaking our stacks constantly), and discourages feature creep/bloat. I love where Helix is at currently. After some tinkering and adjusting a few keybinds, and after a few releases for them to fix various bugs I'd been dealing with, it's quickly become my new favorite editor, and has nearly fully replaced NeoVim. Hats off to Helix.

To throw a little shade on you translation nerds, I thought to mention a few things.

Greeks were all illiterate at the time of the Homeric composition. They didn’t start reading/writing again for about fifty years. Arguably, these stories made the Greeks reintroduce writing.

There is the argument on who’s that Homer anyway, and my conclusion (after studying the Epic cycle for some years) is that the Iliad was the composition of ~800 years of oral tradition. The Odyssey was produced in a short time afterwards. Homer had a school of acolytes who composed The Odyssey together. No one who has read The Odyssey more than three times will say with confidence that the whole composition is produced by one person. The narratives among the books are too different. It was a tomb for relating to the way Grecians once were … before the Dorian invasion which hobbled them all back into illiteracy, and how they should live once more. Soon after these works came the “golden area” of philosophers.

Oh yeah, the actual Trojan war occurred ~800 years before Homer composed the Iliad! Soon after this epic blood letting the Dorians (some illiterate inland tribal peoples) walked right over them, causing the gap between ancient and classical Greece. Perilous time for Humanity.

The Epic cycle was actually a dozen or so comparable stories, only Homer’s survived in full. Interesting side stories include that of Iphigenia, which explains Clytemnestra’s betrayal more than the woman hating rhetoric spewed by Agamemnon (in hades) or other accounts.
This is an especially weird complaint given that LetsEncrypt has been heavily supportive of getting rid of the idea that certificates authenticate or legitimize a website in favor of certificates as purely an encryption tool.

If your problem is that people treat certificates like they're some badge of authenticity, you're really complaining at the wrong company about that.

I actually first heard about Linnaeus when reading up on the Tafl family of board games[0]. These are a number of related board games that were played primarily in Viking and Celtic societies. The games pre-date chess and were ultimately replaced by it as the board game of choice in those societies. Very little is known about the actual rules observed by players at the time. The most complete account we have is a journal written by Linnaeus in 1732, when he observed a variant being played by the Sámi people in northern Scandinavia.

Some people always complain about adding more housing in their neighborhoods. My point is that on a daily basis most people don't worry about parking.

I wonder if it really "doesn’t run on recent android devices", or if it's just that Google doesn't want you to install it (because it was made for an older version of Android and Google doesn't like that), and if you somehow downloaded the APK and manually installed it, it would run just fine. I suspect it's the later case... In my experience, other than the missing software version of the legacy hardware menu key, Android's compatibility with software made for older versions of Android is quite good.
