Mine opens about 600 MB (300 core 300 render helpers) and sends about a meg of data on launch. Though I haven't watched closely, I think that's been typical. Perhaps you've got a buggy tab or some other state that's worth reporting.
That's true, and I think that we should be rewarding the companies that are bucking the trend:

Fairphone 5 will receive security updates for 8 years

Pixel 8 will receive updates for 7 years

iPhone 15 will receive updates for 6+ years (apparently, Apple has a track record of between 6 and 8 years)

Strava is probably wrong. Even if it's right, it's not like this can continue forever. At some point, the weight loss will stop despite Strava showing a deficit. So either you have to eat less or exercise even more.
It's all about checks and balances. When elected representatives have experts of their own, experts whom they trust, they are not as much at the mercy of the government and the lobbyists.

It's the same thing as with elections. You can trust the elections without trusting the government running them, because the party you vote has its own people overseeing the elections. And it's always a party you vote, even in systems where you nominally cast your vote for an individual candidate, because individuals acting on their own are too weak to challenge the system.

The experts you are aware of may be members of a political party, participating in the internal processes of the party to varying degrees. It's one way to be an active citizen. You usually don't know that, because it's not your business to know. Political affiliation is a private matter, after all.
I had that a few weeks ago, but that was fixed by a uBlock update (I think)
Would tend to agree. There is sometimes another view of a successful business: find an opportunity, execute well, maybe generate $10-30m ARR with a small team over a 5 year horizon.

For a lot of folks, that might look like 'success'.

From a VC/YC/SV perspective, that might not be a satisfactory outcome. In fact, they're likely to push you to get bigger even though there may not be a viable path to doing so.

So I get it, there are reasons not to join them. But then, some people want to build billion dollar businesses - risks be damned. Being in YC seems to definitely increase your odds vs going another way.
hey! co-founder here, what about the demo is off-sync?

The jabs at John Ray are so unfair, how is that guy the bad guy ??
I completely understand the pleasure he feels uncovering all the traces of crime, like a bankruptcy liquidator is often asked to do. Why is Lewis showing him as an incompetent fool that is losing money to greedy lawyer because he refuses to speak the the guy who blew through billions to save the world from a robot AI we could just have unplugged ?
/u/epistasis said it best: “UI is communication, and UI designers have decided that mumbling is cool.”
I wouldn't - sixteen weeks is just about 1% of the 30 years you have between ages 20 and 50.

that said, ok, 15mph is not that easy -- maybe starting more like 10mph on a road bike for an hour would be more reasonable.

I still think most able bodied people could get to OP's fitness in much less than a year.

One data point - I was horribly out of shape in my mid 20s and got to riding 4 hour/15mph about four months after I bought my bike. But I was also unemployed for about a month of that!
I don't agree it is just a comment to programmer. CppReference says,

> Modifying a const object through a non-const access path and referring to a volatile object through a non-volatile glvalue results in undefined behavior.

and both compiler have tried to take advantage of this in the past.
I’d suggest looking at the related work in that paper as they list prior methods.
If only there were a premium version of YouTube that you could pay for to avoid seeing ads…
Yes, indeed. It is called X, where the transitory lands of the Lords of Twitter converge. In venturing north, the pilgrims discover the truth of the old words: "The network fades and the lords go without followers." When the social network is threatened, the notification bell tolls, unearthing the old Lords of Twitter from their graves... Elon, Patron of the Memes... Hollywood's Celebrity Legion, the Doom Scrollers... And the reclusive lord of the Profaned Platform, Eugen Rochko... Only, in truth... the Lords will abandon their handles... And the Lurkers will rise. Nameless, accursed User, unfit even to be followed. And so it is, that man seeketh platforms.
>anybody knows if such a mini board with plenty of GPIOs and usb-c (device/host/board power) and a risc-v MCU, but 64bits, does exists?

Something like the Milk-V Duo[0]?

More options in this nice list[1].

>(This would be for a 100% 64bits risc-v assembly keyboard firmware).

Calibration in this case isn't about providing "and so everything then looks like it's the same brightness, because it's calibrated" it's about "and so the same modifications can be applied to everything consistently, because it's all calibrated". I.e. just lowering the brightness a bit below the intended value now is impossible. One thing built on a monitor with it's brightness curve undercalibrated and one with its brightness curve overcalibrated will look two different kinds of wrong when shifted by such a transform. That would not be the case with calibrated sources, everything would shift in the same way and you're able to have it look "wrong" (i.e. darker, capped, brighter, whatever) exactly the way you want, consistently.

Taking it to the DPI example, having things built at a standardised DPI isn't about making everything appear the same physical size it's about making everything tuned against a consistent physical size for the exact same reason, default is always intended and your global adjustments are always consistently resulting in the source material being larger than intended or smaller than intended instead of "well, depends how uncalibrated the source was if it's still smaller or larger than intended".
I had this exact same dilemma on the thalys then I remembered they don't actually inspect anything because it's a fucking train. Here in the US is impossible to get six feet without your stuff being rifled through though.
Jenkins is the best cron.
Can I pay for YouTube Premium without my watch history being used to build an advertising profile on me? I know I can read the privacy policy, but I'd be interested to see if anyone has any evidence to the contrary. Overall I think the ad-blocking crackdown is good for both sides here . . . I just wish I could be confident that paying for a service ensures some level of privacy (which is not the case for things like phone service, in which e.g. T-Mobile sells your location data).
I’ve really enjoyed using sodium citrate lately as an emulsifying agent to make things like queso and Mac’n’cheese. Once you start using it you’ll never want to use velveeta (or its better tasting older sister restaurant variant Land O Lakes melt) again. The other day I was making mac with it and found some funky foot smelling chunks of “queso fresco” (Mexican crumble cheese) in the fridge and decided to include them in my regular cheddar/Gruyère mix. These had just started to take on a little too much extra moisture and had that characteristic “funky but not rotten” smell. My god, that extra funk took the Mac from “really good” to “divine”.
Mozilla is clearly trying to expand into new areas. Some of the fun ones from their open job postings include a social recommendation component (likely the reason for this rename), Search and a bunch of AI stuff.

Difficult to read Joscha's post without hearing his voice in my head.

And you don’t see an issue with these two statements?
The URL is still accounts.firefox.com and email still comes from account@firefox.com. It looks like a really half done rebranding exercise.
This is hard to follow, even reading between the lines. People can't see inside your head to understand the context behind these thoughts. Communication like this will scare off future employers and social contacts. More the incoherency than the tone of being depressed or negative (which also aren't great, but this is worse). Caffeine does not cause this.

If you don't address this your situation will not improve. You must acknowledge something is not right with your mental state - that it is cognitive and not a mood disorder - and focus on getting the help you need. Please speak with a social worker if you feel you've gotten insufficient medical care to this point.

I wish you well.
How about I don't watch ads and don't buy premium?
either use and nvidous instance that had sponsorblock(?) or use mpv with the sponsorblock script in your program
This is the first step in Mozilla conceding defeat with regards to Firefox and preparing for its demise.

They know there's nothing they can do to save Firefox (since they are the problem that led to the decline of FF in the first place), so they are preparing for its demise (or takeover by competitor/FOSS community) by trying to disassociate other Mozilla services from the Firefox brand, in hopes that users stick around with those services post-Firefox.
There are a few definitions of being homeless depending on the frame of reference. For a number of years I lived in a busted up unrentable storefront and it was certainly not by choice. It certainly fit a few of the government definitions of poverty and/or homelessness that are out there.

Being poor, being homeless, etc is a fuzzy thing in its nature. It’s not just being without everything.

My personal definition of being poor is having to make trade offs between food, shelter, and safety where you’re going without one or more on a regular basis.

I didn’t sleep in a bed, the place I slept in would pour buckets of water when it rained, it was cold in the winter, and the neighborhood could be unsafe at times. I didn’t go hungry since I always had the money for a $1 package of pasta and a $1.50 can of tomato sauce. I was able to go to school because my specific version of homelessness matched one that California recognized in order to waive tuition.

Ultimately life worked out for me.

15 years later I feel stressed for money due to all the asks my family makes of me, but I never feel poor.
You might become more sedentary as you gain more weight.

Would you say a person like Bezos would remain poor if they were in that exact situation?
The problem is that many job descriptions are too vague for me to be able to decide if I will be a good fit. The story I’d like to be able to tell is I did X at company X, I can do X+delta at company Y but your job description doesn’t give me any information about the thing you want me to accomplish. Simply put, it’s not a description of the job, it’s a description of your HR filters.

I’m not going to write a cover letter about how good of a fit I am for your job if you don’t give me enough information to understand what your job is. Most job descriptions are 90% useless. What I need to know is, what is the problem you need me to solve, and what resources will I have to solve it. If you as a recruiter do not know that, you’re not the right person to write a job description.
Good news! yt-dlp already has sponsorblock built-in :-) Have a look in the --help text output for the "sponsorblock-remove" arg.

That is saying exactly the same thing that I said; the qualification of the pointer is irrelevant; you get UB when modifying a const object. In the code snippets above,

int x; // not a const object, so can be freely modified
const int y; // is a const object, so cannot be modified

C/C++ pointer provenance doesn't include information about constness, so it doesn't matter "how" you got a mutable pointer to `x`: you're always allowed to modify `x` through that pointer, even if the pointer "came from" a const reference.

The reason for mentioning a "non-const access path" is that the type system forbids you from modifying through a const access path in the first place, so the program would already be rejected if you tried that.

I'm not saying it's a good idea to go around dropping const qualifications; `const_cast` is mostly evil and should be avoided. But at the level of the abstract machine, it's a no-op, even when going from const -> non-const, other than changing the type of the provided pointer.

The benefit of `const` is that if you don't use C-style casts that discard constness, and you don't use `const_cast`, and you don't use `mutable` or other type-unsafe or const-unsafe features, it's not possible to accidentally obtain a non-const pointer to a const object. Thus C++ actually helps you avoid this UB pretty well. But the fact that general conversion from const to non-const is permitted reduces the kinds of optimizations that can be performed.
So make a bad idea, start out as a private company, maybe even get seeded by YC for your bad idea.

If they're a dime a dozen, then whats stopping you? I'm encouraging you to do it. You have my full support.
Think of it more like conforming to a certain communication standard, specific to the academic field. The language needs to be concise, precise, and correct use of terminology to avoid as much ambiguity as possible. Colloquial form of writing is often open to interpretation and may not be understood by international readers (for example), as cultural norms are different. Academic and technical communication on aims to eliminate these barriers.
Lol. Time zones differences are the least of an employers concerns if they're interested in hiring internationally. Taxes / liability / language differences are far more of an issue. This is why you see tons of positions that state "Remote US only".
We should sticky this to all Mozilla stories.

I know the Corporation need to find some crazy new passion project to spend whatever is left of the Google money after they've been handsomely paid, but I wish FF got more love, or got sold to a company who gave a shit about it.
In your opinion what are the basics, hiring managers should do to attract the best candidates?

That's not accurate at all. A lot of tumors cannot be safely cut out or else they'd just cut out all tumors. Many climb around arteries and other critical areas.

Debulking most of the time isn't an option so if you can use this sound wave thing then that would be a game changer.
From their own job posting social recommendations, search (but that seems to be Firefox branded?) and a bunch of AI stuff.
There was a popular submission to HN a few years ago that really opened my eyes to how having a low income can cause problems to compound, making things exponentially worse.

An example the author gives of this is car problems: people with low incomes often have older cars that are more likely to have issues. If their car breaks down, there's a chance they can't afford repairs, which means they're unable to commute to work. Perhaps because of this, they choose to stop making water bill payments or buying as much food while saving for repairs. Everything is very precarious—you're essentially one or two unlucky incidents away from ruin. That, to me, is what it means to "be poor" in the US.

What's the point of blocking ads when they're already not present? Or are you saying that we should block ads and refuse to pay? How is that sustainable in the long term? If you're against ads, shouldn't you support monetization models that don't involve ads?
Is that a more or less thorough job than the twitter -> x rebrand?
The issue is rarely the cables - coax run in the last 50 years is essentially identical to coax run now. It had to be to support all those TV channels!

Connectors do sometimes corrode, rodents do occasionally eat things, and they do need to upgrade some of their splitting/serving equipment though.
One of the assertions of RISC is that microcode is a performance penalty, to be avoided.

And many have.

"To provide this rich set of instructions, CPUs used microcode to decode the user-visible instruction into a series of internal operations. This microcode represented perhaps 1⁄4 to 1⁄3 of the transistors of the overall design. If... the majority of these opcodes would never be used in practice, then this significant resource was being wasted."

The brand is Mozilla for FF and always has been. How on earth is finally fixing your branding "perverted"? At worst it has taken decades to get their act in gear!

You can fiddle with other Mozilla branded stuff or not ... no biggie - its still your choice.

No perverts were harmed producing the preceding paragraph.
I think it's probably going to do more harm than good trying to gatekeep the status of "poor" against any but the most egregiously out-of-touch claimants. E.g. asserting near-literal starvation as a prerequisite is just antagonistic to no useful end.
Idk what everyone is saying. What you have written makes sense to me. They appear as if they don't want to be associated with you, something like that could be a little cruel..

I'd go to a Church that fits your beliefs and access their help.

It's worth noting that the culture changed, roughly in 2010ish. Anybody following sequential, ordered, rules, today, is being dragged down by it.

Your work to stop bad behaviour, is relatable to me, but the culture has dumped it.

Nobody said any of this, they just did it and then distanced themselves from everyone else.

Again I find what you're saying relatable, but that won't save you. Don't chase relationships (or social connections), people will choose family, friends and church over randoms, even known randoms.

It's basically the opposite culturally, of the world we grew up in.

You've done well to kick bad habits and stay sober while homeless. The upside is that you don't have anyone to pull you down... keep every last cent you make and get some 'housing' you can keep to yourself, like a car or a motorhome.

Memories will drag you down, into the depths, like an emotional vortex. Better memories can be painful.
I love this reply and all the perspective it provides on what can be gleaned and what is the baseline state of affairs.

But I'm a little sad that I had to know the extra special secret click spot (on the link showing the age of the flagged item, which item was folded away and fully hidden other than the grayed metadata/title) to even see it (it==your reply) at all. Well I'm not sad for me, because I did know how to click there, expand the post, and read your reply, but it's a pity that your reply won't be seen by more people.

I do understand however that maybe you've chosen the right tradeoff here of giving the targeted info to the poster who probably was sincere and can benefit, versus showing it more widely which would be a frequent enough occurrence that it might become a distracting portion of the site content. So, I defer to your judgement; just sharing thoughts here. Thanks for what you do.
1) Buying

2) Modafinil

3) BTC

4) ~$100 USD

5) 2023

6) Clearnet site

7) Smoothly

8) Yes

9) There are compelling uses of cryptocurrency, they're just mostly limited to things that you wouldn't want to talk about publicly. And so of course you'd be unlikely to hear about them. If I wanted to buy/sell hard drugs on the internet in large quantities, I'd probably want to do it over a DNM with XMR, and I would try to draw as little attention to myself as possible. I certainly wouldn't want to talk about my experience on HN.
Note: for me,disabling Firefox 'enhanced' protection and updating uBlock Origin filters fixes the issue. An initial packet examination showed little changed. I hope others will weigh in, however.
> As user, I want application to be tested and integrated with my distro by a competent maintainer.

Do you though? Most users just want the latest upstream release, packaged up so they don't have to deal with compiling or dependency management themselves (and have a chance of a clean uninstall), not any extra testing or integration. Hence the popularity of PPAs, Snap/FlatPak, etc..
Stealing is never a moral obligation. The only moral choices are not using YouTube or paying for it - and if you truly believe YouTube abuses users, you definitely shouldn’t be encouraging more people to use it, which your presence does by telling creators they get more traffic there.
I wonder when they’ll completely forgo HTML and will just start serving giant polymorphic/obfuscated WebAssembly blob that would perform all the rendering
