> and you won't miss anything.

I would very much miss AppleScript support. It’s the number one reason I (and many users of my tools) don’t touch Firefox. Fortunately, Webkit browsers (Safari, Orion) have got that covered. Unfortunately, Chromium browsers are a more common choice.

I don't think I needed that many transfers to travel by train from Shanghai to London.
I did this unintentionally.. so this is the reason it worked.
Directory structures is a skill that most people with low computing knowledge always failed. I went to a GIS course, and people had troubles following because they saved their work (like click on save button, write a name and click accept) but then they were oblivious in whatever folder had been saved (they were computers from the lab/course) and couldn't find them.

Also not understanding what a zip file is, (just a weird folder that sometimes fails).

I am not surprised it is being the very same case with new generations. But before people were saving things in their desktop, now they just use the most recent function.
I'm self-hosting GoatCounter and using it across all my websites.

It seems to be really complicated to reach consensus to change the EU Energy Taxation Directive, which currently prohibits taxation of commercial aviation fuel.

It's ridiculous how the market is artificially skewed in favor of aviation, while (most of) the same EU member states struggle to compete with their OWN train service...

I'd say the EU should tax the fuel for flights within EU and pump the money into a connected (and centrally bookable!) railway-network.

If you mean Dmitry Rogozin, then yeah, he was a total dick (a part of which he has allegedly lost recently in Ukraine) who peddled all sorts of lies and oversaw the decline of Russian space capabilities.

I wouldn't be surprised if he expressed doubt over the Moon landings considering that he was also the one to push the absurd claim that the hole that had been drilled into a Soyuz was sabotage done by a space-crazed American female astronaut.
I have more tabs open on Firefox than chrome and Firefox is faster. Chrome is massively annoying because it unloads the tab all the time. It sucks that I have to use chrome for work.

From one answer:

> Linux, before all these features and bloat were added, as originally released as a crude kernel for 386 machines

Developers surely like to say anything they don't care about is "bloat", don't they? This "bloat" is what makes Linux usable everywhere.
Sorry, with all due respect you are the first person who has ever claimed that Office doesn't work on a Mac. In fact, Office on Mac is notorious for being BETTER than on Windows, even Microsoft employees say so themselves.
Yeah that's part of it, but to easy to dismiss it as such.

Breast cancer for instance also has been on the rise for the last century, and that's pretty hard not to diagnose:

Besides “security” which is a byproduct of NAT and not a goal, there’s the fact that an ip address can change. The routing tables usually go to MAC addresses, not ip addresses. So it is easier to store a unique id that fits in that field, that then points to a MAC address, that then points to a ip address.
Be mad at Dell, not Linux.

Pretty much every sleep issue I've encountered in the wild is due to the hardware manufacturer's shitty implementation.

The only reason some features "just work" with Windows is because they only care if it works with Windows.

Ultimately it still sucks if it happens with your hardware, but you should direct your frustration to the right party. Maybe one day people will care enough and interoperability can become the default.

I would like to link Graydon's post on how the language turned out in his view, as it seems relevant: https://graydon2.dreamwidth.org/307291.html
> He was with the kids when it happened. THEN they hustled him into the plane

"After being discreetly informed of the September 11 attacks midway through the reading, Bush waited quietly for the reading to finish before dealing with the unfolding crisis."

"Afterwards, the children continued to read and President Bush sat while"

"the notoriously punctual president lingered in the classroom after the reading exercise was finished"

"After chatting with the students and their teacher, Bush deflected a Trade Center–related question from a reporter"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pet_Goat

Does any of that sound like hustle to you?

Watch the actual video recording of the classroom in Michael Moore's documentary. There is was no hustle whatsoever. It's quite excruciating to see.
I think this is curve-fitting.

Billionaires in the USA are completely and totally beholden to the military-industrial complex, for the most part. Look how they all scrambled for JEDI, for example.

The US military alone spends the entire net worth of the richest private person in 17 weeks, wealth it took him 30-ish years to accumulate; that's not counting the rest of government spending. There's an argument that any senator is "richer" than the richest private person in the country. It's not even the same ballpark.

Did you have specific instances in mind?
Firefox is better. I had no issues switching recently.

Does the email writer here train on my past emails to attempt to match my tone? Or is it simply using traditional training sets? This has been a major hurdle with the AI email drafters I've tried (ChatGPT-based)... I end up spend too much time fixing awkward wording I'd never, ever use.

For example - when was the last time I used "salutations" in a formal business email to clients? Never... I would literally never say "salutations".

(Edit to clarify - I have NOT tried Mavex yet, so not a criticism of it in particular)
> There will be fewer flights, but the ones that remain will be more expensive and more polluting on a per-seat basis.

So less polluting in total, which is at least one of the goals?

> The wealthy will continue to pay and enjoy less crowded planes.

If there are less planes available and flying is less practical, "the wealthy" might start considering taking a train instead. Trains are mentioned in the article so I think that's yet another goal.

I'm not sure what you're suggesting instead. This proposal is not perfect because nothing is.

arch seems pretty essential and it's still at 107m. hardware is complex, no way around it.
I haven't used beehiiv. Looks similar to what other offer, too.

For me it feels like either you want to make money or you don't and that is the major drive behind the choice. Most tools have some way to export/import subscribers.

I would probably try to have a newsletter and also publish on your website for example. This way, people will have a chance to checkout your content before subscribing.
I might be misremembering, but isn’t Arc also a Chromium-based browser?

I'm not sure how you can definitively say "nope". It could just as easily be both, or a third reason.
> I don't get this Firefox hate.

Just because I'm criticizing something doesn't mean I hate it. I want it to be better, and that's something Firefox needs if it wants to get out of the bottom in terms of usage.
If an increase in pricing will lower demand and lead to fewer flights, how will those fewer flights be more polluting on a per-seat basis?

I heard this brilliant summary in a video from ThePrimeagen:

In Rust, lifetimes color your types, like async colors your functions.

It is a great condensed summary of what makes lifetimes a great difficulty of async Rust. It's a language that has the function coloring that is typically introduced by async (likewise in JavaScript), and on top of that the typesystem itself gets colored by lifetime annotations. You can have a well written and working program... then due to some new need or refactoring, wanting to add a 'static somewhere will cause it all to break down.

It's part of the language, nothing bad with that. But it is an extra layer of difficulty that needs to be mastered. To me it shows that Rust might only be the initial step towards future programming languages where this kind of issue doesn't lean so much on developer knowledge.
To be clear, what you describe would be people that get cancer anytime before 50 then either die without knowing its cancer or live with it until they are 50+ and get diagnosed.
you miss the core point that infrastructure changes were blocked by the same elite-ism of not paying attention to the in-equality in the labor ranks due to over taxation and other ills.

It is political in nature due to the political processes that have a hold on whether and how it might change.
Maybe it’s just mature? Sometimes projects actually become “finished” and don’t need any updating.

I don't think a linux distro maintained since 2020 feels less mature of more buggy than proprietary alternatives.

Is there a legal or data privacy angle here in enterprise environments where Chrome can be banned due to their sharing of private/internal browsing history with third parties?
A lot of the comments I'm seeing seem to be trying to dismiss this out of hand. But why is it so hard to believe? We haven't exactly been treating the planet or ourselves that well over the last few decades. Hasn't obesity also risen dramatically (and not just in the US) over the last 30 years as well? Would that be so hard to believe? And wouldn't it also be a potential cause of cancer and other disease?

I can't be the only one who sees the irony in this article? Every single mention of the word "cancer" is hyperlinked for SEO purposes... which by definition is cancer in of itself.

This sentence in the article is "tip top",

> On a personal level, there are many things you can do to reduce your risk of developing cancer. Following a healthy lifestyle remains important. This includes eating a healthy diet, stopping smoking, exercising regularly, reducing your alcohol intake, being safe in the sun and maintaining a healthy weight. If something doesn’t feel right with your body or you experience any new symptoms, it’s important to see a doctor as soon as you can.

As someone already mentioned, here is the link the official study,

I'm in the UK and have a dishwasher connected to the hot water right now. There is not some country-wide uniform "we".

The manual makes clear this is quite OK.

They work with either hot or cold water. They will heat the water to the temperature they need. They don't work with _too hot_ water, hotter than they would heat it themselves (e.g. >60°C), but that's also outside the range of most domestic hot water supplies (which per BS 8558 should have a draw-off temperature of 50°C at sinks).

As a quick sample, here's the Argos dishwashers page: https://www.argos.co.uk/browse/appliances/dishwashers/c:2961...

Pick any dishwasher at random, go to Specifications -> General -> Water fill. Every single one I picked, all from different manufacturers, said "cold or hot"

They were the ultimate example of how one can make any topic engaging.

I bet a pretty significant part of their listener base had little interest in learning to repair cars. But it didn’t matter. They were so engaging, hilarious, and you could sense the strong brotherly love.

I also read once that they had started a thing in their garage where you could bring your car and they’d walk you through fixing it and you could do it yourself with their tools. So you paid more to rent the space and tools. Seems like a dream to me and the HN crowd I’m sure. Like a car based maker space.

Excuse my ignorance (I have only just started learning Rust), but why is GC by default desirable? If a programming language can tell when a variable goes out of scope, or its lifetime ends and use that information to automatically release allocated memory, then why is having a garbage collector important? Does Rust (as a result of not having GC) put restrictions on the kind of code you can write, or force one to write code in such a way that it's difficult to reason about?

Why are you so angry at the author and not at the people who actually made Chrome do this?
Runtime startup might be a fixed issue soon for smaller CLI programs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they are working on (and it is already available with a compiler option) to compile your C# program ahead of time (C# AOT).

Flagged. Why is every article about cancer submitted to HN completely devoid of any links to studies? Doesn't that immediately throw a red flag to the submitter? Isn't it obvious that, over a 30 year period, we would naturally get better at screening for and diagnosing cancers earlier in peoples' lives?

The study I'm guessing this article is referring to (linked by jl6) uses the misleading term "incidence" which implies (to an untrained reader) that younger people are actually getting cancer at a higher rate. The more accurate term for layperson understanding would be that "discovery" of cancer has increased in younger people. In that case, the study is welcome news - when you discover cancer earlier in life, you can deal with it before it become metastatic (in some cases).

There are some studies which do suggest a real problem here with specific types of cancers - like colon cancer, which really does seem to be increasing in incidence because more young people are actually dying from it as a percentage of the population. But this linked article is mostly clickbait.
What’s your proof?
I severely disagree, gcc code should have stayed plain and simple C (without the latest ISO abominations):…

If projects like Linux stuck to plain and simple C then it wouldn’t even matter what GCC was written in. The fact that Linux doesn’t even try to do so, and that it is hardly unique in that choice, suggests that maybe “plain and simple C” is not so practical.

…the cure is worse than the disease. c++ is not a sane language, … it is NEVER the solution. I think it should not be taught anymore as its syntax complexity is toxic for mind sanity.

I’ll never understand the withering criticism of C++ on the part of C programmers and/or C aficionados. For instance, suppose we take everything you say about C++ as true, then what does that say about C? Virtually anywhere C++ is used C could be used as well, and every line of C++ represents a choice to not write C. In other words the insanity of C++ is seen by many smart and serious people as better than C, including by the stewards of every major C compiler today. Ultimately knocking down C++ to build up C does nothing but make the C community look like dilettantes trying to convince themselves more than anyone else.

The truth, as bitter as it may be, is that C++ genuinely scales and composes better than C. And C programmers know it too, at least on some level.
Eh. It depends. If you have something exotic as analog mouse it just doesn't work on Linux.

And Linux suffers from OS version of Lisp curse - i.e. whenever two nerds disagree you get a new distro with slightly incompatible behavior.

Perl is essentially a standard on UNIX. In particular, there's a Perl interpreter backed with OpenBSD's base installation[0]. If you avoid recent features (you wouldn't be missing too much), then your Perl code should run with little trouble.

However, in my experience, when I start to feel the need to use something more sophisticated than sh/sed/awk, I tend to shy away from Perl in favor of more "robust" languages. Go often is a good-enough substitute (static typing, single-file deployment, trivial cross-compilation); YMMV.

Amazing how false that was
I'm not sure I think the exokernel/unikernel approach by itself is the path forward. While the library operating system approach makes a lot of sense for applications where raw throughput/performance are crucial, they don't offer as much in the way of development luxuries, stability, or security as most modern operating systems. Furthermore, outside of very specific applications the bare metal kind of performance that the exokernel approach promises isn't really that useful. That said, I suspect a hybrid approach may be viable where two extremes are offered, an extremely well isolated and secure microkernel which offers all of the luxuries of a modern operating system built on top of an exokernel which can also be accessed directly through the library operating system approach for specific performance critical applications (say, network and disk operations for a server.)
