To play devil's advocate: sounds like a "bona fide articulable suspicion of a crime" doesn't necessarily mean there is a documented reason for the release of records that has been authorized by a judge. Wouldn't that leave too much space for abuse?
They did. The original plan was a PowerPC native version of A/UX "4.0." This was the PowerOpen idea, in which both A/UX and IBM AIX were to be personalities and value-adds on a central OS. This new A/UX would still have been able to run Macintosh applications natively. Eventually it faltered because of second-system effect from Pink/Taligent running at the same time, as well as Spindler's brief flirtation with NetWare. This is the reason the Apple Network Server ended up running vanilla AIX.

Yes. It's not useful for beginners. It's a good way to get a quick introduction to the syntax and idioms of a language you're unfamiliar with.
Just in case anyone else was confused by the lead image of the Lascaux cave replica. This is about a cave near Lascaux, not Lascaux.

> The Bison Cave is named after the Paleolithic drawings of animals on its main gallery walls. It is considered one of the best examples of ancient wall painting along with the nearby Lascaux cave.

And not to diminish this but just for context the Chauvet cave paintings (also in France) have been estimated to be 37,000 years old, also using radio carbon dating.

Super interesting that most if the paintings in the Dordogne region used oxide pigments (if that's what the article is saying), didn't know that.

Yes, which is not Firefox with default settings
I completely agree with this. I have only been ghosted after the interview stage twice but both times left bad feelings in my mind. I did try to contact people but did not receive a response obviously. I never applied to any jobs at those organizations again. I think many companies and other organizations need to realize that even an automated denial is much better than nothing.
Either that or Netflix just did a better job than the studios did.

Just because someone was more successful with one strategy than someone else was with a different strategy doesn't mean that the strategy is superior, they could just be a better overall player or even a worse player that happened to outmaneuver a better player, or, even, in the massive multiplayer battle royale that is our economy, a worse player that made bad decisions but happened to luck into ideal market conditions.

I don't think Zoom did anything particularly revolutionary, their product just happened to be the exact right balance at the exact right time.
This isn't really about applications though - not getting a human response at the first step has always been common, especially with electronic postings. It's as easy to apply as post, so you do get a lot of spam applicants.

If you've had human contact and then radio silenc - IMO that's inexcusable.
Toyota Outlines Future Production Processes
In my case: Because Opera stopped using Presto and switched to Chromium. That does says a bit about when I switched.

I used Firefox pretty extensively, then switch to Chrome when Firefox fell behind on speed, but the developer tools absolutely sucks in Chrome, so I tried Opera which had a great feature set, speed and wonderful developer tools. It was a pretty sad day when Opera dropped Presto, and more so when they where bought by some Chinese company.
You have to carefully choose the benchmark but you need to benchmark against something.
>who are the people that are sticking their necks out by borrowing money to invest, rather than accumulating savings to weather the downturn

Normal people aren't, but rich people (who don't face any real risk to their standard of living from a crash) are incentivised to "buy the low" while everything is cheap. And they can buy more thanks to the purchasing power that other currency holders temporarily forfeited by pulling their money out of circulation.
Can we get one with OKLCH please?

You seem to be shifting the topic of this thread. The GP comment is about paraphrasing news articles while I don't see anything in the NYT lawsuit about paraphrasing. Rather, the NYT is concerned with exact reproduction or near exact reproduction. I too am very curious about the outcome of this case and wouldn't care bet either way on the outcome. I do have an opinion on what precedent would be better for our society but that doesn't mean I think that outcome is more likely.

However, none of that matters in this particular thread. There are well established precedents about paraphrasing news articles and they do not support the claim you made
On macOS, the most annoying thing for me is the inability to use the native login to authenticate to apple web services. I have to type in my apple ID, my password, and then the code sent to one of my devices every time. On chrome and safari, I can just use my fingerprint or laptop password and done.
GitHub makes Copilot Chat generally available, lets devs ask about code
I have a wide selection of computers in my home. 3DPrinters, CNC, Microcontrollers, rpis, desktops, laptops, tablets, phones, TVs, etc.

The one computer that “just works” and stays out of the way the most? My wife’s embroidery machine. When she wants it off, it’s off. When she wants to do classic sewing, it works like normal. It has some buttons to do traditionally mechanical operations automatically. But it also has those mechanical options as well. (Raising the foot, for example)

And like you said: it has never once asked her to subscribe.

It’s my favorite computer in the house. :) (and the most expensive)
Can you be a little more specific about where you are reading that she would like to "censor and manipulate content directly in the browser"?

I read the entire linked post, then searched for "browser", "user agent" and "software" and still don't see it.
You absolutely can wring something out by making too much of it. There's a reason "superhero fatigue" is a thing.
I have to say, Action Retro is probably one of my most favourite YouTube channels. His enthusiasm for old computers is just contagious.

Also, 68K.news, which appeared on the HN frontpage (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26623362), was made by him.
for bitwarden, you can open it in your sidebar. but I admit, that is super annoying when opening bitwarden from the extension icon.
In addition to what the other commenter said, disparate sources with incompatible schema, often updated at a glacial pace are a big problem and possibly a root cause of the issue in the article.
Detailed "here's why you suck" feedback, sure, but just a "no" would be more professional than this emotionally immature "ghosting" thing.
your last paragraph resonated very well with me as i can't remember the last time i spoke to a recruiter that seemed to have a horse in the race.
All Humans Are Stupid
Are you bothered by them funding apps that teach African women to plant potatoes?

Maybe patriarchy is causing some of their issues, and maybe it isn't. Either way, it doesn't seem worth getting riled up about.
Chernobyl was a very special case. The reactor had no containment vessel -- we don't build that kind of reactors anymore (and the "old French reactors" do have containment vessels).

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

Your "results of radiation throughout generations" line doesn't really make sense. Don't go into the exclusion zone around Chernobyl. That's it.

You don't get much radiation from other nuclear power plants and certainly not "throughout generations". You do from radon gas in the basement in some parts of the world, you do from coal smoke (a tiny bit), and you do if you live in an area with a high background radiation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsar,_Iran#Radioactivity

And what else? Yes, the evacuation around Fukushima. They panicked and evacuated far too many :(
Yes, too many cookbooks, "with solutions and examples", and no one writes good reference manuals any more.

I kind of get it. I think about a problem, and I am solution focused. Furthermore, I want to learn what I need to implement the solution, and usually don't pay attention to other features that are not directly related to my problem.

However, by giving me a cookbook, the documentators are doing me a disservice in two ways: first, they are greatly limiting the amount of solutions I can use. If my problem is not something they already imagined, I need to find another cookbook or read their source code to find out how to solve it.

And second: they are taking away from me the process of learning about the different parts of the system and how to integrate them into a solution by myself.

And the gotchas are endless. I am using FastAPI and the amount of things I have no idea how they work underneath, until something fails, is mind wrecking.

I wish there was some real reference manual of it, not just the autogenerated function signatures and the most minimally useful documentation I have ever seen. So many things make no sense, and I have to second guess the FastAPI designers all the time.
I've had one too many times where Firefox crashed and I lost all my tabs. Then had to go through weird steps to recover them. Too much annoyance. Just use Safari now, happy as a clam.
> Firefox out of the box indeed does not cause broken websites.

Firefox doesn't cause broken websites. Websites developers that target only Chrome cause websites to inadvertently become broken in Firefox.
> Can a state policing agency of some kind go and pull purchase records for a credit card by name? Could they extract search history, drive destinations, music lists, or something else without warrant? It's not clear to me where the distinction between "warrant-less search/seizure/wiretap" crosses into "Get all data about a person who is outside their home for free".

Yes, law enforcement routinely goes to private companies to get data without a warrant, oftentimes in cases where a warrant would otherwise be required.

For example, Google only _just_ changed their internal policy of handing location data to LEO without a warrant - and while this sounds like great news, it's not as big as it seems, because other players (e.g. cell carriers) also have that data and are much more likely to hand it over than Google is. https://time.com/6539416/google-location-history-data-police...

Throwaway AskReddit/AskHN thread for "advice" followed by small claims court.
In the late 1970s, we used dial up modems (the kind with the klunky acoustic coupler) to dial into Honeywell's response center to close out repair calls. I also discovered they had games on the response center computer and was able to entertain myself on quiet night shifts by playing Adventure and Star Trek on a TI Silent 700 terminal.

Some of the mainframes we servicced were also connected to ARPANET which provided networked access to university and various government agencies. I know there was an ARPANET worm around 1980. Not sure if there was hacking prior to that.
I thought VB6 used p-code embedded into the EXE? I don't think compiling VB6 to machine code would have been easy.
Brave and Edge are just chromium.

Bro. You’re still using chrome.
The current top post is begging people to use Firefox to have more diversity in the browser landscape while everyone here complaining about the diversi... ehem, proliferation of streaming platforms.

Is there an economic or psychological principle that explains this? Something like "people want lots of free choices but only one paid option". (On further thought, this might just be an implication of the trivial "people want to spend less".)
That’s right, e.g. you can’t really choose SPX for any of the top 10 members (AAPL, MSFT, AMZN, NVDA, GOOGL, META, GOOG, TSLA, BRK/B, JPM) but after that it trails off pretty quickly.
This extension alone is sufficient justification to shift to Firefox.
I think you've misread my comment and OP's comment here
> Which sites require those? How would that allow them to make more profit?

Practically every banking site (or more importantly banking apps). And a lot of weird cases like bus/train timings app, mobile operator apps, etc. You don't see that a lot with websites yet because the web isn't so severely constrained as mobile apps are. But the moment they appear, it will go the other way. One good example of this is AMP - which thankfully fizzled out for other reasons.

> And I'm yet to see what business model it would work for. I'm going with 'none'.

You can go with whatever you feel like. But the real world experience corroborates what the other commenter said. And one good reason for this is the corporate security culture. 'Our app isn't secure if it doesn't use the PIntegrity' type of argument. They'll all fall for it even if it's detrimental to their users.
Switching to Firefox is like asking python devs to not use CPython.

Firefox in the current ecosystem is the least innovative or open tech. It is not modular, you can't use it for anything but Firefox. The technology is designed only for FF, you can't use it for your own purposes without metaphorically reaching in and pulling out wires. They don't have the resources or the engineers necessary to make technology. All they can do is try to play catch-up with their browser. This is why everyone else (not webkit) saw the writing and went chromium.

If Firefox was the optimal browser everyone would have forked it instead. They would be using it in their own stacks.
No response to applications is normal.

Ghosting is suddenly leaving you in the middle of a conversation. For example, not showing up for a scheduled Zoom interview then not replying to your concerned email, asking to reschedule. And yes, that's happened to me.
Here's a relevant experience. I applied for a job a few days ago. The recruiter reached out to me through email to schedule a phone call and I scheduled a time through her online calendar. To give you some more context in terms of timing: she emailed me in the morning and I responded in the afternoon. Less than 24 hours after she reached out to me, the job ad on the company page is taken down and now says the position is filled. No response from the recruiter.

What the hell was that?
In small (sometimes very small) amounts. But the energy producing reactions that power the stars are disjoint from the ones we'd exploit on Earth.
Perhaps I was being overly harsh. That being said, there is a certain philosophy of non-intervention which gives Gentoo a sense of freedom that other distributions lack. It’s not only about diverse support, it’s about allowing the user to choose upfront. Arch does this as well (mostly). It’s easy to choose your own bootloader, WM/DE, audio server, and etc. I just think that Gentoo takes this philosophy one step further. If you want to install an alternative init system on most distributions you can… but you have to uninstall SystemD and all its weeds first. Gentoo’s solution is simple. Give the user a choice on EVERYTHING upfront.
I get that that's not what you meant by "Middle Easterners" but for what it's worth I think most foreigners would find themselves feeling quite welcome in Israel, as most people would feel happy that you decided to come here and want to make sure you have a good time and leave with a positive impression.
Sincere question from an American: can you explain why er and re make different sounds at the end of a word than everywhere else? like "read" or "redo" or "terror".
Lots of us are tech "influencers". Lets use that influence to spread Firefox.
The stats for watched shows are pretty interesting -
https://fortune.com/2023/06/29/netflix-amazon-disney-others-...

Nothing prestige, almost entirely NFLX. A lot of it is back catalog licensed stuff.
NCIS, Criminal minds, lol.
Disney+ on the scoreboard with basically a couple kids shows plus the Simpsons.

Previous year stats pretty similar - https://www.nielsen.com/insights/2022/streaming-grew-its-aud...

Prestige stuff like Game of Thrones, Succession, even each of the Disney+ Star Wars shows is $100M/season. None of these make the scoreboard for views.

Meanwhile most people are watching boomer reruns and midbrow stuff. Even Seinfeld licensing only cost $100M/year for NFLX to end up one of the top 10 viewed shows.
My Rule: The nature of a negative (i.e. final) communications should equal how personal the relationship is. If you applied electronically and we stated "only those considered will be contacted" or you cold-emailed me some sales pitch, we don't have a relationship at all and you deserve nothing. If you contacted me and I responded with a short email, my final answer should be a shjort email. If you spent several hours in face-to-face interviews and we're not moving forward I owe you a phone call or email with some explanation of why - in a TIMELY manner.

Seems pretty easy to me.
I have had a lot of success with Orion on iOS. I can use both Firefox and chrome extensions, all on my iPhone. It seems like even YouTube works better in Orion than in Safari.
Ha, it's like saying there are no gay people in Saudi Arabia. If having psychological issues is extremely stigmatized by the society don't expect the stats to reflect reality in any trustworthy sense.
We don't need it -- or wind and solar -- if we have enough nuclear. We are very far from having enough nuclear.

Thanks, I was wondering the same.

For those downvoting this question, I think askers are trying to weigh the benefits of better data-based decision making versus privacy. Amidst an opioid crisis we're wondering if more patient-level data may have helped form an earlier picture of abuse. Having done some data science, I immediately see the benefits of clearer pictures to inform policy; and having lucked out of being targeted for medical violence I'm honestly looking for examples.
Thank you for clarifying. Correct, I wouldn't call anything below industry averages to be a "good" trade for full-time work.
Alternatively read as: “We are actively hostile to user-chosen browser privacy settings such that we develop our application to coach our users to turn these settings off as a necessary means of accessing their account”. I guess that’s what they call a death spiral given that the behavior discourages me from attending any would-have-been-DCI events.
Thanks for this, I just realized i can go on Wayback machine and browse early myspace. Having great flashbacks lol
Roughly speaking, my Sway config:

- Assigns most apps to a specific workspace

- Assigns the standard hotkeys to focus specific workspaces

- Assigns a hotkey for Rofi to filter and focus apps directly

- Assigns hotkeys to move a workspace to the current output/display

- Sets hotkeys to move a workspace 1 output left/right

Now I can quickly bring the most relevant contexts for a task to each display, and can also quickly switch to another context and back as needed.

It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. I'd like some apps to be on multiple workspaces, for example. And I am exploring the idea of a way to search for and bring an app onto the main display as a centered float temporarily then dismiss it back to where it came from with a single key — for example to bring up a Slack channel front and centre, reply to a message, then quickly dismiss it again.
There isn't "modern C". You have to completely change the language to approach modern understanding of memory safety. C is the way it is because it was ignorant of what we know now. Progression of knowledge is why we deprecate and remove older tools.
Stop double nagging me to update every time I start the fucking thing and I'll consider it.

When I start a browser I want it to do what I want it to do. Not have to fight with it to dismiss it's update nagging before I can do anything with it.
This sounds great, but for web developers I feel it’s a risky change if you want to see your sites as your users do.
I'll give it yet a another go...
