What do you use it for? I'm trying to determine where my line between "makes your life better" and "is a new toy" is. I like my Garmin because it does what I want it to and last forever, but I'm wondering if there's actually killer features I'm missing.

It seems that my smartphone bridges a lot of that gap (including listening for my voice commands) and I don't know how much more convenient something being on my wrist is, but I'm genuinely curious.

That's what "must be freely redistributable" means though.

It makes sense that it didn't for technical and business reasons. We weren't where we are now on PWA technologies in 2012. But it would also introduced another layer of data permissions abstraction over the info so many of these applications rely on to be so profitable.
> What constitutes Open Source is not vague, btw. it's well defined by the OSI [1].

I'm pretty surprised to see objections to my claims here, I kinda thought I was just stating the obvious.

> Who is this organisation that they get to mandate the definition of the english language?

> What authority do they have to define the term “open source”?

This term has meaning and while its meaning started with an group of people forming an organization saying "this is what this means" its meaning doesn't derive from OSI (nor some farcical aquatic ceremony). Its meaning comes from its popular use in language. For example, Wikipedia does describe this term and how it came to be used [1].

IMO it would be unclear and confusing to use the same term Open Source to describe both what it has historically described and how model weights like these are distributed. The term "Open Source" itself was coined to disambiguate merely "open" source from "free-as-in-freedom" source.

> Because my browser is not asking permission to access the camera?

IIRC (I've not verified, so I may not RC!) you can see the presence of a camera (or permission to see one) without doing anything that will prompt the permission prompt.

Chrome does not have 100% marketshare. Your browser might be made by the same company, the next person's may not be.

As I mentioned, I have been using local CPAs (though the costs are closer to $1k for my return)... a number of them. These are recommended, well-regarded folks. But when I check over the return closely, I'm routinely finding errors ("Why are you adding this income twice?" "Isn't this supposed to be a Long-Term gain?" "This Form 1116 looks quite wrong"). This stuff has added up to thousands if left unfixed. And in my most recent year, the return was so wrong that the IRS contacted me. The CPA ghosted me to resolve the matter, so I had to work directly with the IRS to fix the return the CPA prepared. That's the sort of stuff I'm trying to get away from.

So, while they might have a legal responsibility, it doesn't mean they necessarily fulfill it. And in the end it is my time and money and stake.
I switched from Firefox to Brave. For me, at this point, there's no better option.

I occasionally try Firefox, but it has several issues that annoy me and that have been unfixed for years. They're doing good work, and I hope they'll catch up, but until they fix their management issues, I've lost faith.
… for now. Trump is very much antagonistic and has a good shot ant being the next president. Even if he is not, considering current American politics, whoever gets elected in 2028 could very well be worse than him in terms of working with allies. Recent history taught us to not take some things for granted.
my counter-anecdote is that it's far worse than fifteen months ago and I'm reporting dozens of cryptocurrency scammers - both regular blue tick garbage replies, as well as blue ticks paying for ads - a day.
I use Firefox as a secondary browser on my Macs and primary browser on Windows and Linux, but I agree. It lacks polish, and its UI feels “off” in ways that are difficult to articulate.

It’s probably fixable, though. One of these days when I have some surplus time I’d like to grab a copy of the Firefox source, see how practical changing its UI is, and figure out if the root cause of lack of polish is technical or organizational. If it’s the latter a fork may be in order.
Fair point! I had thought I had seen ads in embedded players, but it might just have been spammy looking video thumbnails or something.

Another commenter points out it also means no watch-later, which is perhaps a more concrete example of the same problem – being logged out is a worse experience here for many.
Ambiguous truncated headline: The drone isn't deer-shaped, it was just a regular drone used to find a deer. The original title was "Man Convicted of Wildlife Crimes for Trying to Help Undercover Game Wardens Recover a Deer with His Drone"

The man was set up by two game wardens who called him for help locating a deer (edit: to clarify, to "recover" a previously-shot and injured/killed deer's body) with his drone, and subsequently charged with using electronic devices while hunting and disturbing wildlife, among other things.
Best solution I've seen so far is to make the publisher liable for "generative" content, if they can't point to a human creator. Also, prevent any copyright protection unless you can point to a transformative human creator. There might be people "faking" the creation, but then it's not a corp, just a human.
In the US, everything you write anywhere online is copyrighted by you, unless you sign a copyright assignment agreement. It's automatic any time you put an expression into a fixed form, and there is no way to revoke that copyright.

That post's points about Mozilla's source of revenue and expenditure on their CEO are good, but the rest is a politically motivated hit job. They spend the first few sections establishing that Mozilla has a ton of revenue, and then the best examples of misspent money they can bring up are utter peanuts in comparison to the revenue they literally just established Mozilla has. $300,000 is nothing compared to $600,000,000, yet they continue pretending it's this huge unconscionable amount of money: "possibly millions" — how? Unless there are literally hundreds of these companies they're sending these tiny amounts of money to, it adds up to a tiny amount of their overall spending, let alone revinue.

Why? These are such tiny, meaningless amounts in the grand scheme of Mozilla's finances, why focus on them so much and make such a big deal out of them?

Well, from their analyses of the companies this money is being sent to, including the copious use of scare quotes around basic terms like cis, as well as several comments about the political leanings of these organizations, it's very clear that the author of this blog post is not really upset because Mozilla is spending money that isn't related to their core mission, since it's basically a drop in the bucket, but is really more angry that the money is going to places they politically disagree with.

Their argument that this is objectively bad, as opposed to just being a reason for them and other conservatives to not donate if they really care that much, is just hogwash too. The idea that the people who are donating to Mozilla think all of that money is going to building the browser and would have no way of knowing that Mozilla is a politically motivated organization that has a certain stance and will donate money to further that stance is absurd: Mozilla makes it very clear that they as a foundation exist to do far more than just work on Firefox and a few other projects, that they have large scale social goals, and neither do they do anything to hide the fact that their values and goals are oriented very much in a progressive direction. The idea that someone would be shocked that Mozilla has a progressive leaning and is looking to forward progressive causes after reading this (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/) or many other things on their site is just laughable to me.

Sound came back later in the video, so I’m pretty sure they just turned the volume way down. The sound was probably very annoying for that period of time, but they actually wanted people to be able to enjoy the beauty of that scene.
Women’s watches were smaller and were more likely to be integrated with the watch band. That tended to square off the case. The actual watch face was still based on hands moving in a circle.

Men’s watches when they are integrated with the bands also tend to be squarish.
> The initial door reveal is misdirection by an informed host, such that it has no effect on the odds, which are always, players choice of door is 1/3

Yes, exactly. Which means when you switch, the host is effectively allowing you to choose both the other doors, which gives you 2/3 odds.

> Under the “recreational spotlighting” section of Title 34, the Pennsylvania Game and Wildlife Code explicitly prohibits the use of a spotlight “to search for or locate for any purpose any game or wildlife anywhere within this Commonwealth at any time during the antlered deer rifle season and during the antlerless deer rifle season.” It is not immediately clear if this applies to dead or wounded game, since Title 34 does not explicitly address the use of lights or flashlights for recovering game. Another section prohibits hunters from using artificial lights of any kind while carrying a firearm or other weapon, but there is no mention anywhere in the game code of prohibitions against recovering or tracking downed game at night.

I know nothing about hunting, or the laws surrounding it, but why would it be illegal to recover a dead animal at night using a spotlight?
Every time I read an article like this, they fail to mention an important factor: The equity payout occurs only if they hit certain milestones (typically stock price hitting some value), and they expire if they don't hit that milestone.

Take this:

"Intel reported that its new CEO Pat Gelsinger earned $178.59 million in total compensation over an 11-month span from when he started in February 2021, until the end of the year."

No he didn't. He didn't hit any of the stock goals since signing on as CEO, and the grants will likely expire before Intel's price hits those goals (I think the lowest target is in the 80 dollars).

His actual compensation? About $10M - quite a bit of it being a sign on bonus.

I have tried, oh how I've tried. But the vertical tab options on Firefox are just not very good compared to the disappointingly elegant Edge implementation (with something either identical or very similar used by Brave). And, for me, with the sheer amount of work I do in a browser, the base interface is a huge concern.

I've been a fan since the Firebird days--which I wish they'd been able to stick with because the antisocial fox still irritates me in a very low-key, unserious way--but the browsing experience is not modern, and the extension-based solutions are ... functional. Every few months I check again to see if one of them has improved, and I try them, and I switch back quickly. Which leaves me feeling disappointed in myself, but there you go.

Oh no, long before 14nm. A quick google tells me that the gate pitch on Intel 14nm is 70nm!

Obviously there's a ton of complexity here and lots of cheats and optimizations were done over the decades that weren't directly related to linear sizing. But I stand behind the threshold I gave: the big discontinuity in the industry, where "node size" and "feature size" clearly began to significantly diverge, was the introduction of finfet/tri-gate transistors in Intel 32nm.
Firefox will win a lot of people over with the android addons now open. It certainly did for me. It seems not well adveritised outside of fans circles who were already following the project and anticipating it.

Are you aware of any precedent that "enabling" copyright infringement is tantamount to copyright infringement?

Copyright obviously protects against the retransmittal of the copyrighted work. If Yuzu hasn't done that, it isn't guilty of copyright infringement. Instead, Nintendo is arguing that if Yuzu didn't exist, fewer people would have committed copyright infringement. That in itself is not a copyright claim.
Pedantic but this drives me nuts - this algorithm has to do 3 divisions for almost every year. If you flip it upside down, it's significantly faster.

* Is the year divisible by 4? NO -> not leap year

* YES -> Is the year divisible by 100? NO -> leap year

* YES -> Is the year divisible by 400? NO -> not leap year

* YES -> leap year

This way you do only 1 division for 75% of years.

Mechanical objects frequently fail unexpectedly, especially if you're trying to do something weird or unusual. We're just used to living in a world of machines that are in their second century of iterative improvement.

I make installation art, and from personal experience, despite being an equally shitty programmer as I am an engineer, the software is way more reliable, and there are way fewer ways in which it can fail.

That sounds trivial enough that the compiler would remove the bounds checks, assuming I'm understanding correctly that you have a condition that validates the number of fields at some point before an invalid access would occur.

But if it's possible for someone to muck with the file contents and lie about the number of fields which would cause a bounds error, that's exactly what bounds checking is supposed to avoid. So either bounds checks will be removed, or they're necessary.
