But that should be something the compiler could catch. The expression is always false and the condition would never be executed. You usually get a warning for that. And if the compiler doesn't, linters do.

This is a common mistake, and I believe most linters have rules for that. And I don't think there is any situation where there is a good reason for code like this to exist. Either the expression is wrong, or it doesn't belong in a "if". You may get stuff like that in legitimate code with macro expansion, but again, it is not the case here, and from my experience, you get a warning anyways.

>I'm not really sure how that's the case when inflation expectations are baked into any sort of fixed income products.

The poorest people in the US, lower and lower-middle class, aren't holding many fixed-income products, and they're the ones hit hardest by inflation. But that aside, even if your fixed-income product covers inflation, you're still taxed on the capital gains as if it was real profit, because capital gains taxes (at least in the US) don't account for inflation. I.e. they tax the nominal gain, not the real gain.

Where did I write one has a moral right to reimbursement? Your inferences are you own.

Let me restate what I clearly and obviously wrote: The history professor has no moral obligation to give his book away digitally.

The person I replied to stated unequivocally that people deserve free stuff if it cost nothing. I refuted both that argument and the argument that anything is distributed, let alone produced, without cost.

Is that clear enough or do you want to build another strawman?
I actually finally just switched to Chrome (I'm a long time Firefox user, all the way back to when it was called Firebird), because of this issue:

https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/microsoft-defende...

Windows Defender flags things in the Firefox cache as a Trojan. It probably isn't, and it could also have something to do with uBlock Origin, but until that is resolved (I'm keeping an eye on the above link) I can't risk it.
The federal reserve admitted that their policies prolonged the great depression.

People will buy the things that they need, resources will follow those needs because thats what people are actually buying. Some things might die, that is a reflection of society not actually caring very much about it, otherwise they would be buying it. This is in fact an attempt to re-organize the economy around specific things that wouldnt otherwise be supported by the market, with some crumbs left to curate votes.

When people save, interest rates go up, freeing the capital goods needed for ventures that the market actually has a revealed preference for.
>Wish we still had computer reporting of that caliber

Today, when a new CPU is released instead of having a sales rep on the show to demonstrate how much faster it spins a wireframe in a 3-minute segment, there are publications that will spend two weeks benchmarking it who will then release an hour-long video and thousands of words of writing on every aspect of it.

1. Singapore is a city state that has a GDP around twice of other developed economies. What works for it does not necessarily work for every other country.

2. There's opportunity costs with keeping such high reserves around, rather than doing something productive like investing in infrastructure.

3. It's unclear how introducing massive amounts of gold (previously held in reserve) into the economy won't cause inflationary effects. Like I said earlier, you can't eat gold. Dumping a bunch of gold into the economy doesn't magically increase the amount of goods in existence, which would also lead to inflation that money printing would cause.
Yeah.

If there was a 40GB-48GB 7900 SKU, I would have bought it over a 3090 in a heartbeat, even at a big premium over the 24GB card. And I'd be debugging ROCm support in ML projects left and right.

But I am not. The 24GB SKU is just not worth the trouble over a 3090, which is more RAM efficient out of the box. I can't pay $5K for a W7900.

Well, there's also the fact that Google is currently being prosecuted for antitrust violations on both sides of the Atlantic...

Do you honestly believe that it's OK for Google to just keep being anti-competitive? Or that this is a completely inevitable and unfixable state of affairs?

We can, should, and will hold Google accountable for its monopolistic conduct, and this is absolutely part of that.

Honestly, we should take the same stand against them. Those who are hostile towards Firefox should be publicly named and shamed for sheer incompetence and/or malice.
> It's hopeless at this point.

It's literally never hopeless, if history is anything to go by. Sometimes it takes years of effort that looks like it's going nowhere first, though.
Yeah, I find more broken websites out of the box with Firefox than Chrome (even disabling extensions/ad blockers)

I use Chrome at work (corporate provisioned device) and Firefox at home so both get a good amount of usage
Thank you, looking into it

Maybe everyone engaged in this perverse machine is to blame? I mean not the individuals. We all have to eat. But the category as a whole.

Maybe if we would just avoid this SV hellish circle and find places or modes of work that are in direct opposition to that, we can at least reclaim our sanity back.

I assume people accept these shitty conditions because this is where the money is at? So maybe we won't get rich avoiding these working environments, but live comfortable enough? We might even have enough energy and time to devote to side projects, our community and such.

Maybe the obscenely fat paycheck isn't the only way to go.
At the end of the day, Arc is a Chromium browser with a novel UI paradigm. I used it as my daily driver for six months, but I concluded that whatever problem it solves isn't really worth solving. Rather, it doesn't offer enough of a difference to me to warrant switching from Safari or Chromium.
I use Firefox, switched this year for the same reason.

If I were rich, I would buy Mozilla, strip everything out but Firefox, and fund its development, even at a loss.

Having been in industry 30 years, it’s only about 15% of the time that I have any specific constructive feedback that’s worth sharing. “When you’re talking about problem X, first make sure you understand the problem because it seemed like you jumped straight into a solution that missed a key element of the question.” Or something similarly specific.

In most cases, it’s more “you did okay, but someone else did better in this noisy, wide error-bar interaction”; giving someone feedback of “just be better next time” isn’t particularly helpful or motivating and some candidates will take that as a invitation to press for further details which may not exist and certainly won’t be coming.

In cases where there is specific feedback, I give it to recruiters who hopefully share it with the candidate. (Anecdotally, I have talked with recruiters who have done just that, which is how I know that some candidates just won’t drop it.)

If you’re never getting specific feedback, it’s probably the case that you’re consistently doing fine in interviews and someone else just wiggled a little higher on that particular day.
That is quite literally Firefox + UBO. Like it's literally a fork of the tor browser (which is downstream firefox) with a custom config and preconfigured addons.

I switched back to Firefox like 6 years ago and it's the input browser I use regularly. I do unfortunately have Chrome installed on all my machines too since once every couple of months I'll find some usually government website that only works properly in Chrome.

Firefox for Android is excellent too, especially since you can have add-ons. Between my Adguard VM in my tailscale network and Firefox ublock, my phone is an ad free place. Other add-ons that make the mobile internet more tolerable:

Google Search Fixer - Google give Firefox users a crappy old search UI. this extension forces the new nicer UI.

Old Reddit redirect - just redirects all reddit links to old.reddit.com. this bypasses the age verification nonsense Reddit introduced given I refuse to have an account there these days.

Video background play fix - this one just means any video you are watching in the browser will keep playing if you minimise the browser - some sites try to be helpful and pause the video.

ClearURLS - removes all tracking junk from URLS - make sharing links less miserable

Dark reader - essentially just a way to make any website dark mode.
I have.

I recently switched from Windows to Linux (Windows 11 drove me to and I'm thankful) and Firefox was installed by default. As a result, I decided to give it a try and I'm happy I did; it's far better than the Firefox of yore and it tries to be more user friendly than the commercial browsers we have today. There are still sites that break in unexpected ways with Firefox, but it's now my daily driver.

That's another Lala land of obliviousness. Browser is a complex piece of software that needs effort. Users are not paying for it and those who will pay for itthen will probably require access to those users, for sure.

Firefox is a dwindling piece of software and maybe they themselves should take some responsibility of where it is heading today.

User adoption is merit driven and not mission or ideology driven.

I definitely appreciate the context here. It adds some color to breathless headlines.

I'm curious what other precedents there are for this. 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".
Well to be fair, Netflix got free money for years on the premise of future profits, whereas Disney are valued on quarterly earnings.

Mozilla is still finding ways to antagonize its users with Pocket? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

I stopped using Firefox when they started pushing Pocket so hard. Maybe I’m remembering too strongly, but my recollection is that when I complained about it I was told this is the future, you’re being a crank, and it’s totally normal for a third party exension collecting data to be baked into a browser that claims to support privacy and respect users.

So I just started using Safari, and I’ve never been happier. Apple seems to at least know how to get out of its own way. And they seem at least a bit more credible on privacy than Chrome or frankly Firefox.
The Chrome web development tools are so much better than Firefox's
This is a pet peeve of mine. In the olden days, pre-digital, companies would send you a proper letter back together with your application documents so you could possibly reuse them. That was actually a little work for them to do!

These days, sending an effing canned email to all applicants that didn't get hired costs a company next to nothing, and still ghosting happens.

It's indecent.
thanks! so does erik suggest one or the other? or that we must all live in that middle? last I checked he was knee deep in kotlin which I'm assuming is in that middle area?
I recall getting feedback from one or two companies at which I attended day-long interviews. I had to ask, and after the "well, we can't tell you that," got a couple of "we hired someone with more specific experience with XYZ".

Otherwise, many days sent down a black hole, followed by beers, to recover from the day's ordeal.

My wild-ass hyperbolic guess is that once they make a choice, staying silent is their way of grabbing a beer or two and forgetting their own ordeal, and having no regrets. "We hired a genius. All the others were run of the mill"

They're human, after all, but maybe humans won't be involved any more. Machines decide who will serve them.
For some reason, on my Windows 10 laptop that I use for music production (Ryzen 3500U, Vega 8), Firefox installed from Microsoft store takes 5-10 seconds to start, while Edge starts instantly.

I always liked Firefox, both practically and ideologically, but the annoyance is so high I never use it from that particular laptop.

If anyone knows the cause or a fix, please share.
I mostly agree with the sentiment. But I'd say the difference with the kind of ghosting he's talking about is you're already (well) into the interview process. So you've invested a fair bit already. Like in sales, getting ignored or told to get lost immediately is easy to shake off, going deep into the process and then not hearing anything is different. You don't know if you should still expect something, you've got to balance persistence with being professional, you were to some extent counting on it at least possibly happening.

I've been looking for a job recently, and was also surprised about how much ghosting seems to to on, especially after already talking to people but also never hearing at all. The best application experience I've had recently was probably one that 24 hours after I applied told me no. There I at least could move it out of my mind entirely.

I do agree for sure that it's not personal. And how you're treated during recruitment is also good information.
> Especially since they're the only non-Chromium and v8 engine out there aside from Safari, which is also owned by a massive for profit company.

You know, it's not necessarily a bad thing that another enormous company is competing with Chrome. It might be less than ideal than Firefox having Safari's share, but it still eats at Google's monopoly more effectively.
I switched to Firefox on android when Chrome removed the "open on new tab" menu item and then ignored everyone's complaints about it for a year. It's decent although it hangs for 10 seconds or so on first startup (the fault of adblock I suspect), and sometimes hangs for half a minute or so during usage. Still worth it for adblock though.
> He actively gave to organizations that were formed to restrict freedom.

You seriously don't see the irony in this at all?

Retaliation against someone for what they do in their personal lives is... what, exactly, if not restricting freedom?

Purporting to speak for an entire community without any authority or consent is... what, exactly, if not restricting freedom?

Workplace retaliation for private lawful activities should never occur. That seems like a principle that the GLB community should embrace.
You consider this to be "for experienced coders"?
I've just been recently through a long reflection about the tools I use.

I need two things :
- infinitely nested task lists (also called infinite outliners) : dynalist, workflowy
- markdown notes : notesnook, obsidian, notion, etc.

After drowning myself in all these tools and their respective small drawbacks, and also trying anytype which lacks basic things like share a document online, I finally went for local markdown files synced with git, using vim as my editor, and an extremely small deno server to publish my markdown notes (some listed, some not). On mobile, I decided to use gitjournal.

For my non-developer friends, and also those that don't care about using non-open source software than might get bought by microsoft in 1 year, I can understand the appeal of notion.

If anytype can provide an open-source local-first alternative to notion, it would be beautiful.
I absolutely love how this response is "explain this like I am five years old" and "I am out of the loop" -- the people who grew up with BAUD as a nomenclature are going to die.

Here is a poem by AI:

HOLY FUCK:

https://i.imgur.com/V8HtW03.png

---

In the days of BAUD, we danced with time,
Bits twirled and pirouetted, a rhythmic mime.
Modems hummed, a song of distant lands,
A symphony of data in unseen hands.

But now, oh now, we've left those days behind,
Bandwidth's embrace, a treasure we find.
No more the worries of a BAUDish plight,
In the realm of speed, we soar with delight.

Gone are the struggles, the slow and the strained,
Streaming through fibers, our data unchained.
A digital ballet, swift and so grand,
In the era of bandwidth, we boldly stand.

No longer confined to a BAUDish dream,
The internet whispers, a seamless stream.
Pixels paint pictures, words swiftly fly,
In the limitless expanse of the bandwidth sky.

So here's to the days of BAUD, now a tale,
A vintage echo in a high-speed gale.
We've moved beyond, to a faster shore,
In the bandwidth symphony, we dance evermore.
