The Contextual Identity API indicates that it's supported [1] in Firefox for Android so will need see how usable it is. I was planning on testing my extension on Android soon.

Looking into it more, there is an open request to complete the work in Android Firefox [2] and also to make the MAC extension for Android too [3]

From other articles I read - and my Google Fu is failing me right now - the browser market share was about the same in the US and the EU. There was never a ballot choice mandate in the US.

Chrome’s growth in the US grew because of bundling with other apps and because of advertisements on Google’s home page
You are quite right. A typical German gas station has nothing to offer somebody who is going to stay there for 30 minutes. Their little shop is usually overpriced and beyond that there is usually a place to pump your tires and to wash your car and little else.

Chargers in the parking lots of supermarkets would make much more sense. And indeed that is already where the chargers are to be found. This is a case of the market outsmarting the stupid bureaucrats.
Well that just sounds like taking a relaxing 6-month vacation from work while the law-abiding taxpayers pay your rent. Meanwhile, your employer and landlord are forced by the government to accept the employment and housing of someone with a criminal history?

I'm usually all for protecting the little guy over the corporate entity, but that sounds like n awful deal for everyone involved except the criminal.

We are incorporated in Delaware, but both the founders are outside the US. We would like to start developing a team in the US and wanted to know what would it involve and any idea of the costs.
Sounds like my experience too.

I absolutely think they are heavily correlated, not least because being an introvert makes it both harder to build up enough experience to get past social anxieties, and easier to make up excuses (to yourself) to avoid trying to, but my social anxieties in most cases have largely gone (some after putting in a lot of effort to expose myself to situations I found both horrifying and draining; now they're just draining), and in other scenarios were never there, while my introversion is as strong as ever.
Yeah, this is a problem. Separation of church and state is a good thing, but centering the profit motive as the highest ideal of a society is a pretty bad thing.

It's the Python of yesteryear. Nothing about the language was great but the ecosystem was amazing.

CRUD app creation was almost completely point and click, VBA was easy and you could take data straight from a document and process it in complex ways, the database integrations were great and easy to use.
> The legislation indicates that the German government is getting serious about EV charging, having identified that the industry needed a push. If the move proves successful, expect other jurisdictions to follow the example in short order.

This is just the place where they are not needed, except perhaps on the Autobahn.

When you stop to fill your car with melted dinosaurs, the time is so short you can just wait for it to complete. If it's crowded you can even wait for one or two people to finish so you can start filling -- the overall time is not terrible. OTOH, it takes longer to charge your car with electrons, so you want to overlap it with an errand or excursion you'd make anyway.

The Tankstelle on the Autobahn often have a cafe, sometimes a playground, so you could make an actual stop on a trip. But usually when you are running errands you don't want to be stuck in some random location for an extended period.
BGB 616: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/bgb/__616.html

> Der zur Dienstleistung Verpflichtete wird des Anspruchs auf die Vergütung nicht dadurch verlustig, dass er für eine verhältnismäßig nicht erhebliche Zeit durch einen in seiner Person liegenden Grund ohne sein Verschulden an der Dienstleistung verhindert wird.

The key terms here are “verhältnismäßig nicht erhebliche Zeit” and “ohne Verschulden”. That means that if you’re absent a relatively short time (usually compared to the duration of the employment and the notice period) and without being at fault for the absence, you get paid.

There’s a lot of interpretation here: for example if your bus is late, you’re responsible (you could have taken an earlier bus), if there’s an announced strike, you’re still at fault - you knew before etc. The cause must also lie in your person specifically - if you’re stuck in traffic with hundreds of other employees due to an accident, the paragraph does not apply. If you’re missing out on work because you were involved in that accident, it does.

But being imprisoned without having committed a crime is very unlikely to be considered a fault of the employee.

Your work contract or collective bargaining agreement may modify or specify where this paragraph is applicable. No legal advice, not a lawyer,…
I used VB 3.0 thru VB 6.0 and I echo the sentiment: those were fun and productive times. Really solid integrated development environment centered around the desktop UI / form design / UI controls like buttons, textboxes, combo boxes, etc.

I also agree that the web changed everything and that is the major reason for the shift away.

I think aseprite does the same, which is cool, but I find its build scheme a bit complex, depending on not so simple to build libraries. I'm not proficient enough with the tech stack used but it seems unnecessary complex. Eh, I prefer the guy/gal to be paid. (Edit: typo)

I'm not saying Musk isn't a stupid gorilla. I'm saying that anyone with a functioning brain could see from orbit that an organization at that size, with that product, with no customers, with that revenue and those expenses is deeply dysfunctional.

The fact that Musk stepped in with real dollars to assume responsibility for that is somewhere between charitable and nonsensical.
ulids are beautiful little ids without many of the drawbacks and risks of other id systems. They are sufficiently unique for most work (anywhere that you don't need to actually uniquely engineer your ids) and their built in ordering and slick encoding are just icing on the cake.
Copyright regulates distribution, not consumption. What people mean by "own" is to own a digital file of the content that can be viewed at any time, anywhere, as long as the onus on keeping backups/moving the file around is on the consumer.

Visual Basic is one of the best arguments for open source and community ownership in the history of computing, IMO. Microsoft's decision to tank it was hugely painful for companies that had made major investments in it -- no company should make that kind of investment in a proprietary platform that can be killed off by a single company and not forked and maintained by others.
Even if their methods are counterproductive, no one deserves to be jailed for things the state thinks they might do.

Some of my fondest memories are LAN parties. We used to play all sorts of games, some of the usual suspects like Counter-Strike, Age of Empires II, etc, but my favorite is when we did 3v3 DotA.

We had three people in one room on a team, and the opposing team in another room. The winning team would walk into the room after the match to talk about the highlights, but the losing team would say "Nope, get out, let's run it back!"
I'm not defending them, I'm being critical of the approach taken by the OP, because of the clear attempt to rile people into picking up their pitchforks.

I think sweeping statements like this might seem fair in the context of this article, but are actually harmful to democracy.

A fundamental right in liberal societies, for better or worse, is that of property rights. Yes, some people have a large amount of property so police will try to protect that large amount of property, but the police will also protect your property. More generally, police will protect you if you someone tries to physically attack you. We shouldn’t take this for granted since autocratic regimes care much less about these principles and will take away your property or physically harm you if they feel like it.
We'll invent a third World War long before that happens - to thin the herd and remind everyone using rationing and austerity about how great consumerism is, while creating plenty of jobs rebuilding the industrialized world.

Great news! I'm thrilled to hear that the Go language SDK is now available through the APIMatic Code Generator. Kudos to the team for making this release happen, and I can't wait to see what other exciting developments are in store for the Go developer community in the future. Keep up the great work! #GoSDK #APIMatic #DeveloperTools
I would love to be able to image elements inside a wall cavity: studs, pipes, ductwork, electrical lines. I don't know if it's possible with this technique, but maybe someday these ideas will lead to something like an x-ray for building structures.
>"nothing I have found compares to that development experience today. I would go so far as to say we've gone backwards in a big way"

>"I have yet to find a tool that can allow me to be as productive in so short a time as Visual Basic"

I have and do program in many languages. From my perspective - for type the of applications usually done in VB Delphi / Lazarus would run circles around it. Both productivity and performance wise. It is also possible to do things one simply can not accomplish in VB.
Interestingly enough there are a small handful of things VB.NET and C++/CLI can do which C# can't, which enable the former languages to have better interoperability with COM interfaces.

That was with .NET Framework and I'm not sure what the story is today with .NET Core aka .NET 5+.
past predictions that global warming would destroy the world by year 2000

This is a bullshit conservative trope. I'm 53 and no such prediction was ever advanced as a basis for policymaking. Just because someone might have made such a hyperbolic prediction in a TV show or magazine doesn't mean it ever had widespread currency in the scientific or policy community.

Please stop poisoning the well.

> Digital media goods are more akin to buying tickets, rather than actual albums. We always had subscriptions for stuff like TV, so I don't know what the erosion is here. Even today, you have options for entertainment that don't involve a subscription.

The point of contention is that people want to own digital files of the content they pay for. It's as simple as that. They don't want to be subject to any licensing terms besides the limits that are natively placed upon them by copyright law itself.
I was a hobby VB developer at this time and I abandoned it shortly after VB.net without really realizing why. I also abandoned Windows completely shortly thereafter.

The main thing that killed me was the size of the files that you had to distribute when you used VB.net. No one had the .net runtime early on and it was absolutely massive. I was paying for outgoing data by the gigabyte back then and our connections were much slower.
The states are numbered, $\alpha_0, ..., \alpha_N$ and $\beta_0, ...$. You might be missing the font for the digits.
It is usually dramatically cheaper to charge at home at night.

For example, in Alameda California I pay:

* 15.17 cents per kWH during off-peak times (nights and weekends)

* 50 cents per kWH during peak times (5pm-9pm)

The Supercharger down the road charges:

* 51 cents per kWH from 12pm-11pm (the time you're most likely to use it)

* 41 cents per kWH from 11pm-4am

* 32 cents per kWH from 4am-12pm

No one is going to leave their car at a Supercharger overnight though. So more realistically you're paying over 3x the cost if you use public Superchargers.

My Model Y has a 75kWH battery so its about ~$11 to charge it from zero to full at home vs about ~$38 at a Supercharger during the day.
Fyi your comment was dead on arrival, and seems many of your past ones are as well. I'd email dang and ask if you've tripped some spam filter.
If you don't petition your government to prevent monopolies, then you have just as little choice being under hostile companies. Of course I'm sure you think having the choice of Apple rather than Android completely makes up for this.

Enriching these large companies will ensure you live under a hostile government too. Once they are big enough to rent seek, they become the primary lobbying power, and you're back in the exact same position of being under a hostile government.

Next I expect to hear something out of you about private water companies and roads as the solution to all of our problems.
Before "modern" life evolved in the pre-cambrian era, there was the Ediacaran life forms that were complex multicellular life, but died out millions of years before the Cambrian explosion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ediacaran_biota
Yes and no. You only stop for "hours" once / day when you're done driving. It's _convenient_ to charge overnight (and why wouldn't you do it) but it's not necessary. 90% of my charging is done during the day, during the drive.

For example, here's a 7+ hour drive from Calgary to a campground in the middle of Saskatchewan: https://i.imgur.com/GTeNnYa.png (the 5.4 hour charge is us charging up using the RV hookup at the campground)

We stopped for about an hour total. If you are a "roadtripper" -- that is, no stopping, just getting to the destination, then sure, you have a point. That's 1 hour where you could have been at your destination. From my perspective, I took that time to get lunch and stretch my legs and use the washroom... mental health stuff.
^ and $ are a problem, although one with a workaround.

The standard theory of regular expressions focuses entirely on regex matching, rather than searching. For matching, ^ and $ don't really mean anything. In particular, regexp theory is defined in terms of the "language of" a regexp: the set of strings which match it. What's the set of strings that "^" matches? Well, it's the empty string, but only if it comes at the beginning of a line (or sometimes the beginning of the document). This beginning-of-line constraint doesn't fit nicely into the "a regexp is defined by its language/set of strings" theory, much the same way lookahead/lookbehind assertions don't quite fit the theory of regular expressions.

The standard workaround is to augment your alphabet with special beginning/end-of-line characters (or beginning/end-of-document), and say that "^" matches the beginning-of-line character.
In the near future governments will probably mandate using AI on their web-sites to answer users' questions.
> I have a lot more power not to use Chrome or Android than not to be under the rule of a hostile government

Yeah, you can choose between Google or Apple. Hooray.

It's practically impossible to avoid Google if you value having a social life. Enough people have tried.

> Reagonomics was about thinking the government is incompetent. I think the government is hostile.

Oh yeah great, so it's even worse than Reaganomics.

At least a government csn be kept in check by a construction and can be changed by elections.

On the other hand, corporations have no obligations towards you at all. It's the entire point of private enterprise that they can do what they want and don't owe any responsibility.
Yeah, well life is not so simple. Everyone would like to see a green energy transition, but we still need energy to power our everyday life and we need it also at a reasonable price. Protesting without providing alternatives is futile and counter-productive.
100 dollars per book, right, but that book is public and can be shared between millions of people.
I think they mean "increase your possible search space?"
Random ids require random inserts and that is bad for performance. It isn't a deal-breaker in most situations but it is a real cost that you do pay.

Nuclear was being phased out for a little longer than 2 years now.

It was a stupid move, considering that Germany also pushed to classify gas power as "clean" in the EU.
1. It's cheaper to charge at home, and we do have a Level 2 charger in the garage. But with a new Hyundai EV, you get unlimited free charging (albeit, 30 minutes at a time) through Electrify America. There's one down the road from us at the local Target. So when one of us goes to Target, we get the "free" fill-up. In fact, just this morning I was driving by from some other errand, and figured, hey, I've got fifteen minutes so I'll throw the car on the EA charger and save a few bucks. But it only takes like five or six dollars to charge the thing at home, so did I save anything even if I didn't go out of my way?

Otherwise, L3 is for road trips, especially if it's coming out of my pocket. And partly because one of the reasons we bought our second electric car is because you don't have to go out of your way to a special place just to keep the thing running.

2. I've not seen free charging at places like HD. What I have seen are Level 2 chargers at Safeway grocery stores that are subsidized by the advertising on the giant-ass (a meter tall?) screen. Advertise all you want on that screen, I'm in the store not seeing it. Other places you'll swipe a credit card or summat.
normally you would use an ordinal number [1] to label individual elements of an infinite set while using a cardinal number [2] to measure the size of the set.

i believe the cardinality of a set of words from a finite alphabet (with more than one member) is equivalent to the cardinality of the real numbers. this means that the cardinality of .* is c.

unfortunately, i don't think that cardinality gets us very far when trying to differentiate the "complexity" of expressions like [ab]* from ([ab]*c[de]*)*[x-z]*. probably some other metric should be used (maybe something like kolmogorov complexity).

Yup--release important stuff, but blur victims and incidental derogatory things. (Roll up on a scene, there's a druggie shooting up in the background. Blur.)

Anyone can do a FOIA to get anything released, but they must pay for the review and blurring of things that shouldn't be shown. Defense gets the raw video without paying.

> consider Kotlin

Or C#. C# has async/await (it originated there) and does have a multithreaded event loop, but due to having GC is just a lot easier to work with than Rust+Tokio.

If you're in the "don't colour my function" camp, GoLang is also worth throwing in the mix.
It's 2^28, not 2^56. A hex digit is 4 bits, and we have 7 such digits to match.
Yeah, as someone who worked somewhere that had a VB6 project: VB.net was only at all useful as a stop gap between VB and C# and a barely useful one at that.

The language as it stands is fine and interop with .NET means it is a decent choice to use, outside of C# just having a bigger user base from a "how easy can I hire devs" standpoint.

When Tanya Atwater published her seminal paper launching plate tectonics, we geologists were now aware of the pattern of magnetic anomalies paralleling mid-oceanic ridges and now aware of the layered structure of the earth. This information provided validation of her theory and explained that, while continents are too thin to move, they could move if they were "bonded" to part of the asthenosphere.

The "old guard" was right according to the best available information. When Atwater linked the two new bodies of information, plate tectonics swept away opposition of both the "old guard" and the "new".

Put differently, you don't know what you're talking about.
