The reign of Justinian is often regarded as one of the worst periods to be alive. In 532 AD, the Nika riots erupted, followed by the devastating plague of Justinian in 541-542 AD, which claimed nearly half of the population.

Can't wait to see how X926 performs. The X4 has GB6 of around ~2300. On a Clock to Clock basis that is about 20% behind in M3/M4 IPC. ARM promises largest IPC leap in history. Hopefully that means X925 will be close to M4, while being cheap and accessible to all players.

I would hope Washington Post's reporter on AI and Society would be more aware that the issue with generating black slavers, or asian Nazis isnt an "anti-White" bias, nor does it principally concern "conservatives". One would imagine certain right-wing extremists in this case being pretty delighted with such caricatures of history.

No, Firefox never targeted geeks. It's just that, when it came out, the only people who used a browser other than Internet Explorer happened to be geeks. The audience came to them, rather than them going to the audience.

Honestly until actually looking at it earlier this year I assumed the Lite version was just a somewhat pared down version but people should really look at the screenshots[1]. It's painfully mocking of the change with an intentionally kids-drawing-like UI and seemingly zero configurable settings outside of three sliders.

For everyone here complaining about this, have you ever looked at how many ways there are to access your history on Firefox?

Switzerland is an "ultra-localist" country according to Nassim Nicholas Taleb and I'd agree. The Kantons have more power than the federal government. So in essence, Switzerland and the USA are much alike. It's just that the USA has a flavor of this localism so extreme and chaotic that the resident in a way is supposed to relocate to a better place if they don't like it (see residents fleeing California for better places). Switzerland seems to have a more orderly form of localism where instead of the resident, the representative moves.
Yeah, hate that. We also have all kinds of subsidies for insulating your house etc. I insulated my house. Only I did it myself and you’re supposed to let a professional do it. A professional that just charges you his usual fee + the subsidy. They are really helpful in filing the paper work for the subsidy (which is substantial) for just a small extra fee.
I believe this is done partially to dissuade bad actors from gaining easy unverifiable access to hardware and software thus rendering anti theft technology ineffective. If you mandate all repairs to be done using a verifiable (and paid for) repair key which you supply to vetted people, it becomes that much harder to replace the anti theft module as a common thief. Even large scale operations would then be harder to run as they would require a fence of sorts to use as a repairman. Of course that fence would then risk their credentials and so on...
As far as I know mad cow disease is a prion disease. Fungus has nothing to do with it, though I do believe the prions mostly collect in nerve tissue so feeding cows the waste meat from cows is a risk factor.

Actually, I think 'half-assing' it is never good. But some people have a problem with perfectionism. I think in general one should have standards and the standards should be good enough to keep a code base in a permanent state of maintainability. And even to bring back maintainability to a bad code base in small increments. This does not mean attempting to do everything perfectly, though, because that just invites too much stress and what is 'perfect' anyway? I think the 'boy scout rule' of leaving a piece of code in a better state than you find it is good. Don't make things perfect, just make them a little better and next time they can become yet another bit better. Also, try to automate more and more manual steps, especially increase automated testing. Automating testing is necessary to ensure improvements are not actually regressions in disguise.

And for hardware startups? Forget about it. It’s already a nightmare to sell physical products throughout Europe given the intra-country shipping costs, multi-lingual requirements, and patchwork of localized distribution partners. You can expand to Europe once you’re big enough to deal with all the localization/regulation.

It’s funny, HN used to be a community of startup founders but nowadays you’ll see near-zero thought given toward startups in any discussions on HN. This is now a community of big tech worker bees who are hostile toward big tech companies, but who ironically support legal movements that entrench big tech.
The #1 reason I run ad blockers is to defend against malware and such.

There have been several documented cases where compromised ad networks have served exploits causing major issues, like getting your bank accounts drained.

So far Firefox has been serving me very well as my primary browser both on desktop and mobile for a long time now.

Or is it actually more economical for them to build the equipment for swapping whole boards so simply that anyone with 30 minutes of training can do it. (This is the gear they rent to you when you want to self-repair btw)

From their perspective, what are you going to do?

Say you implemented a new function and missed some clear edge cases in the new tests. Or perhaps there's no tests written at all, because it was half-assed.

You will have to speak up in a peer review. I'd speak up just to have it written down. Perhaps you just forgot to `git add` that part, I don't know. It'd be professional negligence not to at least bring it up! If your reply is then, 'I'm aware, and didn't do this for reason X', that's perfectly fine, if reason X is at least slightly better than couldn't be arsed.
Interesting details and case analysis from your side here. HOAs are subject to debate frequently.

Philosophically, freedom has, among other dimensions, the dimension of negative and positive freedom: being free from something and free to do something.

Freedom usually refers to individual rights against the state. Freedom to have private contracts is part of what distinguishes socialism from capitalism.

What you describe regarding group associations is correct. Others are correct, too, when they appeal to freedom as the right to be spared from something.

Freedom to form groups does not mean being forced to join them. That's the point here. HOAs are partly like cartels, in my view.
What I experienced is that the level of reaction from the professional users is much lower than mine. While I was alarmed even back in the mid-2000s that Microsoft wants to validate files for authenticity before using them (later evolved to Trusted Computing that we know of), even IT people around me didn't mind too much. So what I'm stating is not that power users can't shift a market - although debatable - but that even the power users don't care to a point to change their OS.

The second thing is what Microsoft got better at PR over the years. They, I think, very successfully respond to shifts in the market with products like WSL, which lessen the direct power user need to actually change the OS.

Furthermore, the IT job market just shifted so that the employers have more powers now, not the employees. This means that push for change from below, like for the 4 day work week or a user-favorable change in the computing environment is less likely to happen.

I do, however, see the changes that you point to, but I think that they are small, and I think that they will plateau before reaching market domination. Microsoft will be god damned to hold onto the moat that they dug, whether that be the Windows platform, the Office file formats, the email server software, the gaming libraries that they built, or anything else. Better technology or viable alternatives won't budge them, it will be either mismanagement, regulation, or a more aggressive competitor.

I would not trust any claims in this direction. Such things don’t tend to last very long or age very well, because the functionality was being removed for a reason, leading to increasingly large portions of the code base diverging, an ever-increasing maintenance burden, and missing out on genuine improvements from upstream.

As an example of this sort of thing, consider when Firefox removed XUL extensions (Firefox 57, November 2017). This upset lots of people, and did kill many extensions that just couldn’t exist in the WebExtensions world, and hobble others. But it was done for a reason, and if you compare pre-Quantum and current Firefox you’ll find one of two is faster, more secure and more reliable: and it ain’t the old one. XUL extensions imposed a serious burden and prevented concrete technical improvements. Of course, other changes may have been made that you may or may not like so much (e.g. UI changes), but the removal of XUL/XPCOM has been a good thing for the browser in general.

A number of forks retained XUL extensions, but most died fairly quickly because of code base improvements predicated on their removal. There are still a couple around, I think most notably Pale Moon; they’re all now necessarily hard forks. I don’t know what Pale Moon’s more recent web tech feature support is like—I don’t imagine it’s very good, because it can’t take advantage of Firefox’s efforts. https://www.palemoon.org/history.shtml paints a fairly bleak picture for the future: things have gone badly wrong already, and they admit that the project is in the long term basically untenable as a general web browser. (That entire article is also highly biased in its presentation of the entire thing, fairly heavily anti-Mozilla and anti-browser-vendors-in-general-though-they-frame-it-as-Google.)

Such forks also rapidly decay in usefulness in another way: no one makes XUL extensions any more, and probably no one will be making Manifest v2 extensions any more. For a while, the likes of Pale Moon may have allowed you to keep using more extensions, but by now, using Pale Moon means that you get fewer extensions than Firefox, and so they lose their appeal.

There are cases where forks succeed in becoming the primary version of the thing; for example, OpenOffice.org has over time essentially died, and its fork LibreOffice has succeeded. MySQL versus MariaDB is mildly similar, though MySQL’s failure is much less stark.

There are also cases where forks have succeeded, with divergence of both. There’s even a good one in the web browser world: when Google forked WebKit into Blink. In that case, both engines were improved by the fork, because WebKit had been supporting two different directions to a degree, and now they could pursue their own individual goals with better focus (both were able to remove lots of code), and both had enough investment to survive. Over time, their code bases have become more and more incompatible.

—⁂—

So… in a few years’ time, probably no reputable Chromium fork will support v2 extensions, and you probably won’t have any reason to want one that does anyway.

Arguably, memory safety inside the WASM heap is the job of the compiler, it's often possible to omit runtime range- and null-checks with the control-flow knowledge the compiler has access to which would be tricky to transmit down to the bytecode level (and even then it would only benefit a handful of languages that have builtin concepts for "ranges" and "nullability".

If you need more fine-grained isolation, split your code into different WASM instances.
