This thread is a fantastic example of a failure for people inside a hobby to even begin to imagine how to explain it to someone outside the domain who expresses a casual interest in a nuance of the field. The poor person who asked for a definition of 'hypertapping' was given:

> tapping/hypertapping: what you do to your mouse trying to get your click speed above 10 CPS

Now imagine for a second that you have, as someone not engaged in the higher levels of professional competitive video gaming, never considered measuring click speed in 'CPS', nor considered how one might get it above 10. You would have no idea what you do to a mouse to accomplish such a thing, so you're none-the-wiser what 'tapping' or 'hyper tapping' actually are (or what the nuanced distinction between them might be).

Can you see how they might be confused?

Then they were told that 'rolling' is

> The equivalent of putting sharpied electrical tape on your mouse and rubbing it.

Again, not having ever considered sharpieing electrical tap, nor what effect it might have if one were to put it on a mouse and rub it (static buildup and a loud squeak possibly?) what is our poor non-elite-gamer to make of this explanation?

Now you're telling them that it doesn't matter how this input rate speed is accomplished. And yet it seems apparent that tapping, hyper tapping and rolling are all nuanced and distinct ways to accomplish this.

This is why people learn not to take an interest in other people's hobbies.
I recall that it was either old versions of Solitaire or Freecell that had the same issue. I remember intentionally losing games until my points were -32767ish, and it was the first time I experienced integer wraparound as a kid. That's the sort of thing that teaches you a lot unintentionally.

Anyway, I think that it's not really surprising that they'd use a signed integer in either case. In every codebase I've ever worked on, signed ints are the default merely because they're the obvious choice for a number. I only see uints when it actually matters, or when a developer is overly pedantic.

1:3 (one to three) odds aren't the same as 1/3 odds (1 in 3 odds).

1:3 means the second outcome (that on the right-hand side of the ':' symbol) is 3 times as likely as the former outcome, which is true when the likelihood of the first outcome is 25% and the likelihood of the second outcome is 75%.

1/3 describes the chances only of one of the outcomes, and fixes it at 33⅓%. If there's only one other outcome, its likelihood is 66⅔%.

Is the 'addition' you're talking about just one of the readings of the first syntax, or did I miss something else in the video that made the initial presentation of those odds figures surprising?

Sorry if my terminology is off; it's been a long time since I did any stats
Maybe in the USA. Where I live I got some LSD once in my life. A guy sold me some n-bome as LSD. By the time I felt the acid on my tongue, it was too late. I saw Fenrir the Wolf eating the moon. I saw the bricks of a wall propeller outside, like in a film about dreams. But that was all. Nothing even close.
No, I'm not recalling things that never happened, but rather facing things I wish I could forget
That is an interesting question. An A380 has 16 exits and a maximum capacity of 853. A Boeing 737-900 has 8 exits and a maximum capacity of 188. The 90 second rule has to pass with 50% of the exits unavailable (nobody gets to know in advance which ones), and luggage & blankets strewn about the cabin. In the dark. I bet it's an interesting test to partake in.

It was the intended, purposefully engineered outcome for precisely such an event. Not even remotely a miracle. The airframe designers at Airbus saved those lives, not divine providence.

The critical part of that article is that Emerson was suffering from depression for 6 months prior.

And because any sign of depression or mental illness is career-ending from a pilot, the FAA and airlines' policy turned something that might have been treatable into something much worse.

This situation reads to me like a last ditch effort to fix the depression before attempting suicide. The tragedy here is that this will only lead to stricter regulations, rather than the mental health reform this industry needs.
Risk-Aversion Is Killing Romance for Gen Z
Mozilla's corporate structure has the same problem OpenAI had. Because Mozilla is not a for-profit entity, management isn't accountable to shareholders with a financial stake. Because Mozilla isn't a charity, management isn't accountable to donors. Who is Mozilla management accountable to? A board; mostly made up Baker's associates. It is an incestuous arrangement. If Mozilla were serious, they would change the way management is held accountable. Baker needs someone who will actually hold her feet to the flames.

Mozilla is entirely unimaginative, but is self sustaining as long as it keeps its advertisers. Mozilla is a shambling corpse that will continue to shuffle forward until it is no longer favorable for Google to buy search placement.
You're reading way too into it.

The topic was about zoomers not having as much sex. My point was effectively "of course, this is self-evident, look at how they dress!" because the clothes they wear are a deliberate choice to not be viewed sexually. De-emphasizing sexuality equates with having less of it.

It's a kind of puritanism. Sex, especially when you're young, is often spontaneous and driven by sensory stimulus.
Yes, however in this case, my comment is about Electron, which is what we are discussing in this thread.
Is there some secret FAANG-driven effort to just mess with the Mozilla CEO every couple years? They’re a seemingly worthless company to attract so much heat for their executives.
Result is a massive ecosystem, so yes it proves the point (regulation aside).
Again, no, it isn't. I'll refer you to the other comments where I made the case.

Inferring how much sex a person is having from their clothes is "reading too much into it," people generally don't advertise their sex lives.

To 1 million deaths by mosquito and exponentially more infected by Malaria. Again, it’s just not close, and it’s going to be vastly fewer when you think about rattlesnakes in the US or whatever in Australia.

And, as above, mosquitoes are largely eco-irrelevant. Snakes are not. Anti-venom seems like the better solution.
It’s sad. I have clear memories of browsing the web quite capably with windows 98 and 64MB of RAM (or less!) and now we can’t even do it with gigabytes.

I have never seen this. It seems trivial for an inspector to catch, and 2x4s are cheap. It makes no sense for a tract builder, whose profits are a function of successfully pumping out a new house in 100 days, to take such a low reward high risk action and end up delaying the build time.
Who sets the CEO pay for Mozilla?

Is there a board that actually looked at their performance and decided a raise was appropriate? Or is it due to some term in her contract?
It depends on how much study you do before hand and how much you go into the session with intention. If you're not good at self-education then I agree a therapist as a guide is helpful.

Because compression is robbing Peter to pay Paul. It saves money on storage, but costs money in compute.

And a lot of data is already compressed (images, etc) so might increase your compute cost without any storage savings.

Filesystems are often the wrong level in the stack to do compression. You want individual control over what data is compressed.
I always pronounced it as the Spanish "armadillo" word /aɾmaðiʎo/ but Jorge uses "dil-oh":

Also, the video explains a lot about of the project, but in terrible quality :-D
In the case of giving people to look at subtly-distorted images and asking them "truck-vs-cat" and "chair-vs-sheep", I think it's likely people thought: "Huh, I guess one of those involves artificially constructed angles and the other tends to organic rounded bits, so I'll decide on which seems extra-present."

To me that seems a reasonable--and not very exciting--explanation for why humans may get similar this-or-that answers to a machine-vision model.
For those of you who use Dillo, what sites to you regularly view with it? It seems a lot of the web breaks without Javascript, right?
I've ported the GPU code that OpenEmulator uses to WebGL. You can view a demo here: https://zellyn.com/apple2shader/ (source is on github).

I also ported it to Javascript, in an Observable notebook, with some attempt at explaining what was going on, here: https://observablehq.com/@zellyn/apple-ii-ntsc-emulation-ope...

This was my attempt to understand what the code was doing, but I went down the “I should learn signal processing” rabbit hole for a while and eventually got distracted.
Absolutely. Both are necessary.
This is probably well-known to others but I am surprised to learn JAL uses big aircrafts to serve domestic flights, and I wonder how common this practice is. Is there somewhere I can query by input of "passenger flights of certain aircraft like A350 on a certain date", give me results of flights, ordered by distance in ascending order? Thought about Flightradar24 but they don't seem to offer API for personal usage
Right, the local internet can always be an issue too. I think you have a good example of something with high uptime requirements. I get that, but I was kind of wondering specifically why Postgres's downtime would have any significant impact, if it was 1 second. That's hard for me to imagine. I also work in some high resiliency environments but I handle it with queues. No system I ever worked with had a requirement on the DB to have such availability.
A century plus of research into human behavior and literally the entire advertising industry disagrees with you.

Edit: I'm not even going to continue with this thread. There's a significant body of research on fashion psychology and the nonverbal cues communicated by what you wear.

It sounds like you are saying that it is cancellation-worthy to be aligned with an American conservative position, but normal and acceptable political expression to be aligned with Hamas. Is that your position?
I'm kind of a 'why not what' kind of guy when it comes to comments. For example "powerTicks < 10" took much less time for my brain to parse (and I get extra information, I see there is a variable called powerTicks then "/* ...has no powerup or powerup expires in less than 10 "ticks" */" did. Then my eyes had to scan for the closing comment to get to the important part.

Something different, but not for me personally.

Mitchell Baker is frankly a moron, surrounding herself with even bigger morons who have taken Firefox every direction except a good direction. Frankly, it's impressive how much they've missed and how far they've shifted from their original mission. Yet her salary has more than quadrupled since she took her position.

Don't forget this phenomenal Baker quote from a few years ago:

>In 2018 she received a total of $2,458,350 in compensation from Mozilla, which represents a 400% payrise since 2008. On the same period, Firefox marketshare was down 85%. When asked about her salary she stated "I learned that my pay was about an 80% discount to market. Meaning that competitive roles elsewhere were paying about 5 times as much. That's too big a discount to ask people and their families to commit to." [0]

I wonder whether Eich manages to turn around the Firefox decline if he hadn't been given the boot. It started under him, but his latest venture (Brave) is growing steadily - 65 million monthly active users [1].

Mozilla needs to be at the very heart of the free an open web. They need to have the biggest Mastodon instance that you can actually depend on. They need to have the biggest Matrix server. They need to have the biggest free blogging platform. They need to hire a few full time community managers to spearhead putting together a clear set of community guidelines and organizing volunteer moderators. People all the way up the chain, accountability and responsiveness all the way up the chain. The anti-big tech. They could easily afford this, too. If it's free and open on the internet, Mozilla needs to be there. But instead they take half-hearted stabs, abandon them, let Firefox linger, and pay their CEO millions upon millions of dollars.

You're not looking far back enough. European anti-Americanism is a monarchist meme that jumped from ideological host to ideological host until it thoroughly infected the whole continent[0].

America won its independence primarily by playing colonial powers off one another. Britain bankrupted itself defending America from the French. When Britain tried to get America to pay for being protected, America got France to bankrupt itself protecting America from the tax bill. France then had a revolution; its medieval despots replaced with liberals and left-wingers caught in a power struggle and demanding bribes of the American diplomats[1]. The rest of Europe's power elite distrusted America, as it had apparently infected France with liberal republicanism[2], and France was busy invading the rest of Europe[3] and spreading liberalism[4] elsewhere.

Monarchism was, if not defeated, at least contained with constitutional restrictions. However, other ideologies found it useful to define themselves in opposition to America. America has always been a country of contradictions. We're the liberal democracy that had to come up with a "three fifths compromise", after all. So if you're on the right[5], America is dangerously radical. If you're on the left, America is dangerously conservative. If you're a centrist, America is dangerously fickle.

I will give the "culture protectors" one thing. America's quasi-official policy has been to make it very easy to export American culture while making it very difficult to import it. This is difficult to actually enforce, however, because we have the 1st Amendment. The US government can't just ban or put quotas on French films or music in the same way that France can. In the broadcast era of publishing, America got their way primarily through public-private partnerships. It had a movie industry that it sponsored with favorable trading relations and copyright laws, while looking the other way on monopolistic policies that would shut foreign cinema out of the market. But that's all gone now - as can be evidenced by the ridiculous amount of fandom for Japanese animation and Korean music - and doesn't excuse the far more explicit legal limitations on cultural importation that France engages in.

Choose, either it's mob rule, or extreme minorities. The two are mutually exclusive.

The people don't get what they want, e.g. republicans blocking things that were voted BY THE PEOPLE on the ballot.

There's of course all the gerrymandering as well, further preventing people from being adequately represented, and of course, let us not forget all the effort spent on making it harder to vote in the first place.

It's not worthless; many people still want to like the product and would like the company to improve. Alas it seems to be a lost cause given what's discussed over the years, better move on and use the energy to support a browser focused on user experience that actually has a future.
Company acquired us in late 2022, then cut the acquired product and team in late 2023. Similar to others here, I've been applying left and right, but only hearing back on every 10 or so jobs.

Some numbers from December:
- 26 jobs applied to
- 14 just never replied
- 4 sent standard "we're looking for other candidates" emails
- 5 went to different stages of interviews only to resolve into "offer made to another candidate"
- 1 filled all the positions they had, but left the interview "open" for when new positions open up
- 1 is hopefully pending me getting an offer this week

Of the 5 that went with other candidates:
- 1 went all the way to right before the offer and they basically told me the had to decide between me and another candidate and the other candidate had direct experience with a product they wanted to build in early 2024
- 1 was supposed to really kick off after the holidays, told me waiting until after the holiday was what the preferred. Emailed me today to tell me they had a candidate accept an offer and my interviews would be cancelled.

Honestly feel like it should be a legal requirement to inform a candidate if you have an active offer out for the position they are applying to.
> Reporters and editors aren't software engineers, so the potential of browser competition can remain understandably opaque.

There you go. As a virtual unknown who has fought the good fight against Google and has tried to help make reporters aware of tech/services they hadn’t considered before - well, some people have a hard time thinking about what they’re not used to or don’t initially understand.
And how does that raise compare with other CEOs of similar organizations?

Not that I think CEOs are worth their ludicrous salaries. It's just that the anti-diversity crowd loves to attack any organization they set their sights on for being "too progressive". So it's relevant to know whether this really is extraordinary.
It is not typical for contemporary GPUs or ICs.

> They’re a seemingly worthless company to attract so much heat for their executives.

Most nerds used Firefox so they didn't use to be worthless, and those nerds care about what happened to the company.
In fact they get chided around here for anything that isnt a firefox specific endevour.

Browser engines are not a money making business (if it was Microsoft would still be in the game)
