A off topic question. Has anyone encountered the crash after wake from sleep for the latest Firefox on macOS Sonoma public beta?
I thought we knew how to do art pretty well?
I did what rednalexa suggested: asked for help and recommendations from folks in my life who have used mental health professionals and swear by them.

When I met professionals for an initial consultation, I paid close attention to my comfort with each and how I felt about sharing the deepest details of what has been one of the hardest periods of my life.

Through those recommendations, I found someone with whom I felt comfortable and chose to move forward.

Like many things in life, I recommend just taking a first step; in this case, an initial consultation. Follow your gut, if you can. Don't feel good about it? Don't move forward.
You're going to find a lot of (completely valid) advice on both sides -- bill by hour and bill by project. Out in the wild, there are a ton of factors that are going to make that advice either good or bad.

For example, the book, Million Dollar Consulting, is pretty famous for advocating the "charge by value" approach. I think a lot of what's stated in that book can make sense when you're 1) highly specialized and 2) are in high-demand. You have a lot more leverage in those situations and both sides of the equation likely know what value you're creating. These are the types of situations where managers inside the company you're working for are motivated to get through any red-tape your "non-standard" pricing models create.

However, in a lot of cases, businesses have policies and controls around how they structure contractor pay. You should certainly be flexible to not limit yourself, especially if you don't have a whole host of companies knocking at your inbox.

I'd suggest really thinking through how much time it takes to acquire (pitching, negotiations, other pre-contract meetings) a client, how much admin time it takes, and just build that into your hourly rate. Setting up retainer agreements is also usually a good idea for you and something clients don't typically balk at -- e.g. you will be paid a minimum of 10 hours per week, even if you only worked 5 hours.

For anyone worried about limiting their income by charging hourly rates, I'd suggest looking around at what high-end law firms, creative agencies, management consultants, accounting firms, etc. charge. As a solo consultant, you're ALWAYS going to be constrained by hour many hours you're willing to work, regardless of how you bill.

Gone. It’s all Uber now. A few green cabs. Odds of finding a yellow cab outside of Manhattan are slim.
And yet, fascinatingly, very very little discussion. 60-ish comments was the most on any of those posts.
Awesome! You're welcome. :)
Same. Been using it since it was called Camino then Firebird, a confusing namespace collision :P
For me, Firefox performs better on Linux than on Windows.
Firefox or Librewolf would be my preference if it had tab groups.
We're probably talking the difference here between enthusiasts and non-enthusiast drivers. I learned stick so I could drive sports cars, and I've never felt the need for the handbrake for hill starts because I can just heel/toe. But my wife who knows how to drive stick but only learned because that's what her family had when she learned to drive and doesn't really care about it, always uses the handbrake.
Yeah, it’s the same. Stop breathing, trying to walk fast to the other side.
Agree, getting in a decent workout or ride can make you feel a sense of achievement for the day. If I can get a 40km ride in before work and then find some good tunes to smash out some code between stand-up and maybe another meeting, I'm a happy guy.
This. The tech was never there, the hype came from people who didn't understand the fundamental problem, and the secondary stuff about regs and people not having landing zones is cope to disguise yet another failure on the part of the hype zombies.
Fantastic to see JMAP support right from the start!
That’s easily remedied. Many companies will not work with 1099 contractors and will only work with third party consulting companies.

When I was a dev lead, my manager wanted “another me”. I had a friend looking for work and he wanted $80/hour. My manager didn’t have a problem with the hourly rate. He was willing to pay $110 per hour to the consulting agency we were going through so they could hire him and we could work through them.
For me it's the opposite. Firefox's dev tools feel better. What things are missing?
ChromeOS is quite literally desktop Linux. If instead of a custom immutable Gentoo distribution they chose to base on Fedora Silverblue would it be any different? They would still need to offer Debian software through a layer of containerization and the user would still not have root level access.

Since ChromeOS is for casual users who will never need to install tools system-wide, I don't really see that much of a limitation in being able to only use things as non-root.

My question is; Why did it get down-voted to oblivion, despite it being a normal practice on other posts?
The Economist print edition, for exxample, routinely uses puns and wordplay in their headlines (though the subtitle is generally more straightforward). But there is a subset of people who firmly believe that headlines should be "just the facts."

>It being an complete integrated package from the OS to the IDE is the best feature about dotNet.

In a general purpose development context I consider it a downside. In the same way that I don't consider it a boon for XCode & the like that I can't run it on my machine and will need to go buy a mac.

When it comes to a more general purpose development context I find that a lot of things have this "if you are on windows" asterisk. From recent memory it can go from the rustup installation page just referring to a completely different page or rediscovering that text files having diverging line endings there or needing to do some workarounds when making commandline tools in such low level languages so that they'll also work on windows, needing to bundle some redistributable dll in your installer to make things work on windows even if you used visual studio on windows to make your binary. They'd work everywhere except windows because vcruntime isn't statically linked by default or something.
Given PHP being mentioned think this was also the reason it took so long for various PHP functions to become available on windows in the past (Not sure if they're all available now. I haven't kept up).
I remember discussions from back then with complaints about Windows being a second class citizen for php when that wasn't really the case rather it was just more often the odd one out.

Swig is kind of clunky. But it is so much better than writing JNI yourself. JNI is gouge-your-eyeballs-out awful; SWIG is at least tolerable, and it works.
seems like the remaining solutions are boiled down to just either a private PGP, IPSec, or mutual-TLS data connection by direct IPv4 or IPv6 address.
If it has Linux kernel, then it is Linux. And if it is Linux and has a GUI on top of it, I consider it a Linux desktop. I definitely think that ChromeOS is Linux desktop and even the Android should be considered a Linux desktop.
The Beatles funded some very weird stuff. Ringo Starr in The Magic Christian is probably the best example, an extremely on-the-nose set of satirical sketches.
I’ve been making the transition to management for the past year. I’ve been writing code professionally for 6.5 years. I really enjoy coding but I love helping others grow even more. I feel competent enough technically across the stack to be able to lead a team and also recognize when I’m not the smartest and to empower others to lead. I think that’s the bare minimum to become an engineering manager. I intend to get management positions that involve 20-40% coding time though so I can keep from getting rusty
>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.

Don't forget the other possibility: someone using Firefox having internalized this lag as "normal behavior".
The intonation is very good in a way that modern speech synthesizers don’t get quite right.
Chrome tends to be built with a rather slow and stringent set of optimization extras like PGO that people tend to leave off in Chromium builds.
>The original claim was that "The way real wages are tracked also undersell this trend"; they are calling CPI into question.

The original comment makes no mention of CPI. It only mentions that certain categories of goods have outpaced wage growth. Of course you're going to get that result if you cherry pick your basket.
I'm my mind echoed something like... "don't ask yourself what you can do for mathematics, but what mathematics can do for you.."

in my opinion the 1st/biggest contribution to math (and any science, discipline, art, and work) is to study/pratice it, is the best contribution to a living body of knowledge and wisdom, new ideas and discovery are side effect, welcomed, but not mandatory.. but is the discipline involved that change the single and later the world. The sea is made of drops..

the true goal is the/any-single way in praticing, not the end/highest point (if exist).

>Firefox's Container Tabs is hard for me to imagine losing.

Yes, and the lack of a viable vertical tabs solution for Chrome (though some Chrome based browsers have native implementations).

I am baffled how anyone could still be using horizontal tabs as it is clearly inferior. I am also annoyed as hell that it is not native in Firefox.
That's pretty sweet! Is the code open source? I'd love to see how it works.

What do you find lacking in Firefox dev tools? For me I actually prefer them to Chrome.
I'm in your shoes, more or less, and what I panic about is the fact that now that the hands-on time with the tween is so much more optional, I could be missing out on invisible parenting opportunities by not being proactively involved. Example, kid is happy to spend all day drawing or reading or playing BS roblox games with friends. Should I have put more of a limit on this and insisted on a couple of hours a day of other activities like crafts, music instruments, or just hanging out/hooking up playdates? It's a lot easier to be lazy at this age since the kid is not actively trying to do something dangerous like play with scissors or fall into a pool.
TBH I blame Toronto

Definitely exciting to see another very promising modern mail server option that seems to really be developing nicely. The major pain of self-hosting email for a long was ensuring delivery, but with SMTP relay services also getting quite slick that doesn't seem as much of a blocker anymore. Also means being able to clamp down even more tightly on the mail server at the network level as well as its own security since it only needs to talk out to the relay service and nothing else. In an ideal world there'd be a real solid secure DNS and in turn full e2ee email-like standard itself, and authentication could at least be one by certs in DNS.

But in the meantime email still fills an important role, and perhaps enough layers of options will get us close. After the Gandi.net sellout most recently this feels like propitious timing to me, I really dislike the typical email service pricing models. Paying just for the domains and relay, both of which are trivial to swap around at will, and then otherwise having that on my own infrastructure certainly feels attractive to try firing up again at least for a handful of domains.
Strongly disagree here on the "machines don't just work." 99% of the machines in my life just work for 99% of the tasks I throw at them. I spend an inordinate amount of time fixing/working-around the 1%, but directly interacting with the lowest layers is a massive waste of my very limited time.

My primary reason for not using Linux for my desktop is that when I connect a bluetooth device, headphones, a monitor, a keyboard or a mouse, when I want to run a GPU intensive application, or when I need to connect to a VPN and have my DNS requests correctly routed through the VPN it just works on Windows or MacOS.

I don't have the time or energy to work out those issues in a community supported environment where half the time the community support treats you like a half-witted imbecile for needing support and where the environment itself uses a CLI tool that my wife or kids can't use to manage the settings.

Ease of Use, Dev Tooling, or Cheap. Pick two. Linux is consistently harder to use. With WSL-2 I've found windows eases the dev tooling pain that existed a few years ago. A Mac is not cheap.
The thing Disney added to the mix is massive overexposure. Getting 3 movies every 20 years, even if they're bad, doesn't instill a sense of fatigue like an annual release schedule and several continuously running TV shows do. I have a hard time understanding people who are still excited for this stuff. Even if something looks promising it's just item n+1 in an endless conveyor belt of content.

The MCU suffers from largely the same problem.
Completely agree - much reduced opportunities for differentiation with the new LLMs.
Who classifies C++ as a low-level programming language? Even C is only being called low-level relatively recently, and it's not universally accepted as such.

If there were/are lots of small portals for each region/group of hotels, how would you know which portal is the (a?) genuine portal?

People on the other end of genuine transactions want/need some kind of payment from the people booking (to prevent at a minimum people booking lots of rooms with no intention of staying), but that's an attractive target for scammers. Especially as people often book things a significant length of time in advance.
They're so little. What a rough way to go.

it's 2023, we have the means to cheaply record and store audio and video evidence for basically any medical experiment. we can record every patient reaction and opinion without relying on the reasearchers' hearsay. we also have the means to store and distribute all the binary/textual raw data gathered throughout the experiments.

maybe as an intermediate step we could make available all the recordings to the peer reviewers and only offer the raw experimental data bundled in the paper publicly? maybe in the future we can have 1TB studies without breaking a sweat? maybe all the money we give to publishers can be spent on servers to archive all the primary data so at least we aren't simply filling the pockets of MBAs?
Sorry, I meant from the terminal
ONNX consumes a .onnx file, which is a definition of the network and weights.
GGML instead just consumes the weights, and defines the network in code.

Being bound to ONNX means moving at a slower velocity - the field moves so fast that you need complete control.

Automatic transmissions are now good enough that we can just conceptually bundle all that stuff up in the “let the car deal with it” box. (For normal drivers at least).

These driver assist tools they interfere with your steering evidently aren’t as flawless. And anyway, in general the “steering” task will be primarily in human hands for the foreseeable future, mixing ownership of the task seems like a bad move.

I don’t think all changes that put the car in charge of more of the driving process are bad. They just need to be careful about what they transfer over, the car needs to take the whole task and do it perfectly.

Depends on your region and what sites you're using. I live in the middle of nowhere far from civilization, and 1.1.1.1 returns terrible IPs for many sites including google.com (which pings at 350-400 ms if you resolve it through 1.1.1.1, but at 90-100 ms if you're using any other resolver). They do it because they block EDNS0 in order to protect your privacy or something like that.

So I use 8.8.8.8 and 9.9.9.9 in parallel through dnsmasq. Whoever responds the first wins. If you're not stuck in the middle of nowhere, you're probably better off with the latter as it's somewhat more trustworthy than Google.

The Richter scale is logarithmic, so I wonder how well a structure built to withstand an earthquake the magnitude of Romania’s previous earthquakes could withstand a Magnitude 8 earthquake.

When the huge construction boom began in Cluj in the first decade of the new millennium, the common opinion seemed to be that the old, ugly socialist-era blocks would survive an earthquake just fine, but people were less confident about the new buildings that private developers were constructing.

> ChromeOS is quite literally desktop Linux.

Yes it is, but AFAIK it's still a walled garden. The user has no control over what's going on under the hood. This is different from what most people understand as desktop Linux. Linux is a synonym for full control from the device owner, which in case of ChromeOS is not given.

This is a shortcoming in the naming, and it might be better to find a better term, but this is still the current situation we have.
Yeah I think this is just semantics. Parasitic VC is bad and good VC is good. We can agree on that.
