This presumes that inflation wouldn't happen with gold, which isn't straightforwardly true. Technological advances could make gold easier to extract which would increase their supply, which in effect is printing money. Also, going back to your point about how benefit accrues to "elites in the financial system" because of the Cantillon effect, it's unclear why that wouldn't occur with gold backed currency. After all, gold would still be mined. The only difference is that it would go to miners rather than "elites in the financial system".
AFAIK, the OS provides this information and, at least on Windows, you can't circumvent it easily. I was told it is one of these things that large content providers demand.

I use FF as daily but haven't been able to use any site with Cloudflare gating. I get agressive very slow loading captchas. But these same sites work fine in Chrome. I haven't figured out why but it's super annoying.

Well.. if your grass would dry out and become yellow without watering it, then watering is a luxury. The water in deep wells will eventually run out. Why waste it on grass?
>more questionable ventures being funded as savers chase ever more questionable ventures for yields

The difference is that for private investment there's a process of natural selection: bad investors lose money to good investors, and over time the people with a record of better investment end up with more money, and overall better investments are made. Whereas the US government can keep spending money on economically unproductive things like the war in Afghanistan indefinitely without any feedback loop to stop it.
Once every three months, one gets an upgrade tab showing release notes. Upon occasion (and I mean, occasion, not regularly) they may try a new feature like Sync, save for later, etc.

Once I get the browser installed and running, what you describe matches 0% of my experience with it.
There should definitely be a larger effort to name and shame. I'm not currently job hunting, but in the past I have considered starting a site to document companies and the individual recruiters that are ghosting. It might be worth-while for anyone job hunting currently to start a google sheet or something along those lines to do just that since it's so common now.
Doesn't many of those extensions due the exact same thing? Like why have Ghostery, DDG Privacy Essentials, Privacy Badger and to some extend uBlock Origin and Decentraleyes (maybe uMatrix as well), either one would do.

> Like everything back then it was probably accomplished by exploiting trust relationships

That's wrong on many levels. Bold and stupid "hacks" committed by teenagers using SE tend to get a lot of traction, because it is both bold and stupid. This hasn't changed. But "back then" there was much more than that...
I’m not the person you asked, but I’ve been happy with 1Blocker. As a bonus it can also block ads and trackers outside the browser (that part only works on iOS).
I've been using it for the past few months as part of the public beta, and it is fantastic. The ability to ask questions right there, within the context of your code, without leaving the IDE, is game-changing.

Super helpful for when you're unsure of the right syntax of a particular library, learning a new language, or those quick one-off questions that otherwise would cause to pull your hair out going through the passive-agressiveness of SO, or never ending threads on Reddit.
I like gentoo because I have it set up to compile everything with symbols and the source code in the image, and I can gdb anything I am curious about.
They can, but the problem they face is that they can't get any of the developers to want to build them because the ROI is set too low.

There's some jank involved depending on which combo of x/wayland, window manager, and compositor you're using, but if you can manage to get virtual monitors working on an ultrawide it's great.

A lot of recent models also support "picture by picture" mode, allowing you to connect two separate inputs to the monitor and avoid doing anything in software.

> Someone using their phone or tablet with a keyboard to get things done is far from computer illiterate.

Full literacy involves writing, not just reading. At one point the same held for computer literacy. I would not call someone "literate" if they could only read words they already recognized from viewing forms and their writing ability was limited to filling out those forms using a limited but appropriate vocabulary. I would likewise not consider someone computer literate if they were limited to using software written by others.

For more eloquent words in this vein:

Speaking of adblock experience with Firefox (and uBlock origin), Google has managed to slip ads into my Youtube experience. So far I can skip them after watching the first 5 seconds so it's not too bad.

Before that they had a popup that would timeout after 15s (?). At that point I tried disabling uBlock on Youtube but found the ads stacked up to much longer, so the 15s delay was more acceptable.

As expected, this will probably continue to be a cat and mouse game.
And yet those sports teams still spend millions of dollars and expertise on it (recruiting). So what's techs excuse? It's harder so we don't bother?
> I don't understand why many people are hesitant to name and shame the individuals and companies.

The risk for repercussion isn't worth it. Your going to go online and stir up shit? Corporate culture is way to risk averse. If you are the kind of person getting ghosted and rejected from interviews you evidently aren't a person with any leverage in the hiring market.
You should also post this to https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/, since it may be useful with local LLMs.
Until my Windows became unusable, I was using Chrome about 90% of the time and Firefox about 10%. Since then I've been trying to get along with Ubuntu Linux only, and it came with Firefox. Haven't even installed Chrome yet, and I don't think I will.
The only point in this piece that sounds like that is “Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation”. It’s fair to disagree with her on that point but also consider that in conjunction with her call to make feed algorithms transparent. So she is saying to give preference to NYT over Breitbart by default but also make it obvious that is what you are doing.
That's not what I was referring to. F.e. management brought on the project some senior dev. He did a minor framework update, reeplace one library with another even if nobody was complaining about anything and he was gone. None of the problems or technical debt the client was actually complaining was addressed. Oh, and he did some implementation that blocked the other devs, and we needed to work arround it.

They want the latest and greatest, ( Leading Node, Latest Software Development and Driver Update improvement ) while not willing to pay much for it. At the same time refuse to learn and understand why something cost as much. And worst case of all? They are also the ones who traded cryptos. The major reason why Nvidia GPU prices had been above average.
What do those sites say about the problem when you report the error to them? Do any of them acknowledge their error?
I'm shocked to hear you describe it as "not bloated". Eclipse took many seconds to start up, responded slowly to typing, and used huge amounts of memory. It was by far the slowest of any application I had used. I used it when I had to, but never got comfortable with it because it was just way too slow.
And much of the “noisiness” stems from tooltips, popups, etc explaining changes and additions. I can see where some users might want those but it should be possible to disable those entirely, or at least make them more “quiet” (e.g. a notification icon with red news count pip on the new tab screen where changes can be seen at the user's leisure).
And beyond the most obvious stuff too. I worked for a company that ran claims benefits management systems. We had regular inquiries from our customers (insurers) saying that they had genealogy databases and wanted to be able to mine not just their own systems for "increased familial risk" based on claims history, but wanted to be able to get this information from "partner" (not actual partners, just "our other customers") databases similarly.

We would not, thankfully. But many of them asked. Some, repeatedly.

No, but health is already a protected class in employment laws. Any employer pulling or seeking that information in any way would open themselves up to a class action lawsuit by everyone who had ever been rejected from that company.
>In the early 2000’s, Internet Explorer had a massive 95% market share. ... This was a very bad situation, which hindered the development of the World Wide Web.

What hindered development was Microsoft resting on their laurels thinking they won the browser war. Google on the other hand is continuing to invest resources into Chrome. As evidenced in the past if Google stopped investing into Chrome, and stopped taking community contributions to chromium eventually another better browser would come around to overthrow it.
>User adoption is merit driven and not mission or ideology driven.

Yes, Google telling everyone to install Chrome, and Chrome being the only "other" browser installed on many corporate networks is totally merit driven.
Firefox proper is available for Mac but remember that on iOS the "firefox" is not using its own browser engine and there are not any add-ons available.
Indeed, Virtualization.framework already supported virtio in guests before, but that's when they added host drivers. By the way this:

> In the Virtio model, providing such support is the task of the operating system, not the virtualiser.

is wrong. Virtualization.framework is a standard implementation of a virtualiser that is shipped with macOS, and while it includes virtio, it does not have to be part of the OS; the same task can be done by anyone (for example QEMU).

The low-level, OS-dependent part of virtualization support is called Hypervisor.framework and it does not have any knowledge of virtio.

I'd want it to be run by some org I can trust, maybe some nonprofit or the UN, or at least someone like PayPal or Stripe or Google. Not a bunch of shady cryptobros trying to start the next pyramid scheme.

Then again, I think it's easier to just use a regulated bank. What good is insurance from a crypto company? That sounds like just another way to scam users before the insurance company folds after a year and the founders escape with everyone else's money.

Primarily I just want an easy way to send and receive money between individuals in different countries. Western Union sucks and Wise is a pain to set up. I would never want to keep funds in crypto, but I'd totally pay a transaction fee and exchange rate to easily send or receive money from foreigners.
For those who haven't seen it before: If both surfaces you are fastening together are (relatively) rigid, then mushroom-head fasteners (e.g. 3M Dual Lock) have many advantages over hook-and-loop fasteners.
This being HN, I'm really surprised no one has mentioned Brave. Brave is what Firefox was a few years ago (and what firefox claims to be but isn't) in terms of privacy and comes pre-loaded with an ad-blocker that uses the same list as ublock. It's also faster and less of a memory hog. I switched from firefox as main driver and haven't looked back. It is chromium based but I don't see this as a drawback. But this is 2023 and using a single browser is an artificial limitation (and makes no sense if you're a web developer) so I don't know why people make it sound like it has to be one or the other. It's not exactly like choosing an IDE. I pretty much use every browser except Edge.
My main browser has been firefox for awhile now and I've been slowly migrating to chrome for performance reasons. firefox is just not good with memory in my experience over the last few years. I have to restart it a few times a week so my computer becomes usable again ;( i wish this wasn't the case because i don't really want to migrate
The way you implement this, low-volume senders (nerdy individuals or small projects that can't use SES/Mailgun/… for GDPR reasons), even if they manage to get off the list once (olcsupport.office.com, escalate), never get the chance to build up reputation in the long term (I'd have to contact olcsupport again in a few months and that's just not sustainable for a small-time postmaster).

I get it, you're afraid that some VPS from a cheap cloud provider suddenly floods the inboxes of thousands of Outlook.com customers. I realize that a fresh IP that sends dozens of emails out of the blue has to be blacklisted.

But why don't you allow my VPS to send, say, 16 emails a day to Outlook.com inboxes? And if ⅛ of the recipients report junk, I get blacklisted. But if all 16 recipients are happy, my IP can now send 16+16=32 emails/day for the next few months (as long as the non-ISP hostname matches; otherwise, it might be a new VPS customer), and so on.

This way, your customers are happy (I don't think spammers rent/hack a fresh VPS in order to send 16 emails, and I don't think they are very good at building up IP reputation), and I'm happy (my personal VPS can send a few emails to my Outlook.com contacts every few weeks/months, and my project VPS can gradually build up and maintain the reputation it needs).

I'm obviously being naive about that approach, but I don't remember having trouble reaching Gmail inboxes or those of local providers, and at least for Gmail, I know that they have pretty effective spam filtering too, so I reckon that they use some approach like the one I described.

For a side project, I have just given up contacting olcsupport and instruct Postfix to send through our @outlook.com address instead, but that is a wobbly workaround at best. For personal email, I now relay through SMTP2GO because GDPR doesn't matter that much, but it makes me sad to have that gaping hole (called Outlook.com) in my decentralized email fantasy, after having spent so much time researching, configuring, diagnosing.
I have had sites that are definitely broken in Firefox even after a stock install with every last toggle/extension/script blocker turned off. It's fairly rare, but there are a slowly growing list of sites that don't behave properly under Firefox but work in Chromium.

My first rule of recruiting for my own technical teams: don't let a recruiter be the face of your company or team. Set rules on interaction, follow-ups, etc. Insert yourself or someone directly from the team into the process as early as time allows.

Also, don't let a recruiter contact candidates on your behalf. I've seen this go sideways several times where unprofessionalism can be conducted IN YOUR NAME by the recruiter.
100% with you, but it’s not always easy to get control of your own recruiting. I’ve also seen HR get upset when their involvement is not what they expected.
The core issue with 4k on Mac is that unlike Windows or Linux, Mac doesn't have usable 125%, 150% or 175% scaling modes. But at 1x font rendering on Macs sucks, and at 2x you basically have a fancy 1080p screen; it just doesn't fit as much as an unscaled 1440p screen.

This forces you into 5k screens, or tricks to make the OS do actually useful scaling.

Ridiculous.
1. America was built on people willing to leave everything behind for all sorts of reasons. America is great because of it.

2. American immigrants feel a very high amount of affinity with the US and the opportunities afford to them by the country, regardless of how much affinity they feel towards their neighbours. I think the main problem is that native born Americans feel a fairly low amount affinity towards each other - and that has little to do with immigration.

3. I think having a low immigration, stagnant tech and finance sectors is probably beneficial to the median person who is already in the US and doesn't really wanna work that hard and compete with immigrants. I agree with you there. If you go to Australia the ones who are getting the highest grades, becoming doctors and lawyers, buying expensive properties are all immigrants (usually East Asian / South Asian). If you want to relax and just enjoy life without working hard Europe is absolutely ideal for you.
With the higher market demand for pilots now I suspect that job applicants in that field are now being treated better than they were in 2007.
CPU-specific optimization has waxed and waned in importance over the years. It used to be that a lowest common denominator compilation would not even include MMX or SSE, which could make a huge difference for some kinds of CPU-bound algorithms. However, it was always possible to do a runtime CPU feature detection and run the optimal version, so compile time feature selection was not the only option.

Then AMD Opteron came out and got everyone on a new baseline: if you compiled for amd64 then that meant a specific CPU again, there were no newer instructions yet. Now AMD64 has several levels[1] which can start to matter for certain kinds of operations, such as SIMD. A more mundane one I often run into is that v2 added popcnt which is great for things like bitsets in isolation, but in overall program performance I measure almost no difference on any of my projects between v1 and v3.

When it comes to games, it's more than likely your games were binary-only and already compiled for the lowest common denominator and maybe used runtime feature selection, and even then, they were probably GPU-bound anyway.

VSCode Intro with Screen Reader
recruiters are a lot like real estate agents - there's very little barrier to entry or exit, so the good ones do well in both hot and cold markets, while the shitty ones exit when times get tough and compete like crazy for limited supply when they are good. The former builds value in their network and will likely never ghost you; you'll earn them several commissions over a career. The bad ones get fired or voluntarily leave so the network has no value. I suspect we're seeing an uptick in ghosting right now because:

1. There are a lot more newer people in tech today who are now going through their first downturn and involuntarily looking for a job. As a stereotype these people are far more public on the interwebs and sharing their experiences.

2. We're still in the downward trajectory so the crappy recruiters haven't been purged and companies don't have to compete on quality of service to get limited talent... yet. Wait until the next upswing - I'd bet far less people got ghosted on job applications 2-3 years ago.
In 2023 I had to switch my work web browser to Brave because Slack decided to stop working on Firefox.
Sure, and benefit all of us in turn given the lower costs for nice clothing due to economies of scale. That's ostensibly the point of copyright, no? To benefit society by advancing useful arts and sciences.

So boutique designers that can charge high prices due to artificial scarcity would not be a thing. If there are no more boutique designers, then these firms will have to commission designers themselves, or we rely on open source design work, eg. students who are learning design, enthusiasts, and so on. I'm not really seeing a real downside here. Yes, things would be different, but would they be worse? I don't think so.

The people who focus on the negative aspects of social media will be less satisfied than the people who focus on the value granted. Especially considering your relative lack of power to change how others engage on this platform, you’ll find a lot more value here in ignoring the voices you don’t like than you will fruitlessly trying to silence them.

Firefox single-handedly destroyed their reputation beyond belief with that article in my eyes. They are supposed to support the exact opposite instead of being evangelists for censorship, centralized control, lack of ownership.

No, dark mode is a red herring. I used IntelliJ because it had better functionality and wasn't incredibly slow (only somewhat slow).
