After using FF for the past 7 years, every day at work I switched to Arc. It's been __okay__. I'm not a fan of them trying to nix the bookmark system and much prefer FF's implementation of just good old fashioned, indexable bookmarks.

If FF can manage a good implementation of vertical tabs, I'd switch in a heartbeat.
Carcinization, I think.
>Gas: 2020 = $2.36 a gallon 2024 = $4.69 a gallon

This must be due to increased state and local taxes.

https://www.gasbuddy.com/charts

May 2019 is ~$2.70 and May 2024 is ~$3.70, a 37% increase, as opposed to a 100% increase for where you live.

I used May 2019 because there is no use in comparing May 2020 or any other part of 2020 due to COVID supply and demand disruption as well as seasonal differences.
Wow, this is such a better experience with longer form content on twitter than I've seen before. I don't know if this is multiple tweets crammed together somehow, or just tweets can be long now? And also have italics?

Anyway, I'm accustomed to twitter links being an incomprehensible mess of UI showing people responding to stuff without showing what it is or how to get to it. This is remarkably sane and coherent. Do I... like twitter now?
> Childhood is where you teach positive behaviors and responsibility. Just chucking phones out the window to avoid the problem teaches nothing.

We specifically engineer acculturation processes to incrementally add responsibility for a reason.

Nobody gives a 2 year old a loaded pistol and then tells them they can't have candy.

IMHO, a smartphone with unregulated addictive apps is too much responsibility for grade-level children during school hours. (Hell, it's too much responsibility for many adults I know)
>It's not like webpage space is expensive.

It is not the webpage space. It is people's limited attention spans and ability to focus. A complex example is needed to properly motivate certain concepts, but too complex an example also contains too many other details that the reader gets bogged down/distracted from the main concept being discussed.

At least that is my hypothesis for why almost all programming books and tutorials have terrible examples. I am happy to be proven wrong.

Coming back to the article, I looked at some of the previous articles from the same series, and to me it feels like a very conscious decision to only include 3-4 line code examples.
Unrelated, but you just reminded me of an old blog: Groklaw. I can't believe it's been over 10 years since it was active
Naturally. Same way samurai committed seppuku on their own volition too: it was clearly a way to part amicably, no need to call security.
There's just too many people in tech, because tech needs too many people. Once we have better tools to reduce complexity and allow teams to be much much smaller, many of these problems will vanish, because a engineering team will consist of 1-3 wizard engineers who control all aspects of the tech. We simply do not need to have teams as big as they are, for what we're ultimately doing.
It used to be a part of their Test Pilot program as "Tab Center", somewhere around 2016, but got discontinued. What's on the GIF above is a WebExtension-based reimplementation of that called "Tab Center Reborn" plus a bit of custom CSS that reimplements the original auto-hide behavior and makes it blend nicer with Plasma.
Not to mention, the internet is full of its own bullshit.
Sure, but the OP is using DuckDB as a way to export some smaller amount of data for someone. That's a great use-case for SQLite, from whatever your real DB is, which for the OP is also DuckDB.
I don't want to breath sulfur, I'm not a Klingon. We just need to accept that we will not be able to transition into non-co2 emitting energy and production fast enough (We MUST still do it!) and that co2 removal on a planetary scale is just not going to happen. Start the Geoengineering now and figure out the bugs so it's ready when we need it. If it's really true that billions of lifes depend on it, maybe it's time to grow up and do the necessary evil.
Yes, exactly. Google and Microsoft have huge anti-competitive advantages that they have been able to use to target casual users. As long as that continues Firefox will be facing an uphill battle to get casual downloads, but neither of those large companies care at all about power users. That gives Mozilla a big opening to get a niche of users that will heavily evangelize their browser and install it on friend and family devices.

Unfortunately Mozilla's leadership does not see it that way and have steadily pissed off a huge number of former fans, without making inroads with any other groups.

They are in a tough position regardless, but combining that with terrible product and organization management has gotten them into the state they're in now.
Just because humans can reason about abstract problems without explicit steps do not mean our brain is not performing these steps.

In case of man and goat, human would make the following implicit assumptions:
1. boat can take more than person/animal
2. boat is an only way to get to other side
3. boat can only be controlled by man

The model failed because its “knowledge” lack these basic assumptions about how boats and river work. Once you ask a model about assumptions, they are wrong, and they will be in incoherent with the actual answer. This reveal that model understanding is limited, and it cannot apply logic to it own assumptions. If the model could apply logic, it would answer that the boat cannot carry both man and goat, and it is impossible to cross the river.

In my opinion, LLM

1. Lack systematic knowledge about world.
2. Cannot apply basic logic to knowledge that they do possess.
3. Prioritise answering over being logical/correct.
4. Are subjective based on training data and previous prompts.

My conclusion that they cannot reason in human sense.
hmm, maybe if there was some kind of way to just directly connect earphones with some kind of new fangled direct analogue technology, then "wired bluetooth" wouldn't be the most economical way to get wired earphones.

It would only require a port supporting 3 wires and a miniscule onboard amplifier. I'm sure Apple have the courage to invent a new port for the good of humanity, maybe they can even pave the way for a new standard.

This got improved with Windows 10/11, though. Now, there are cumulative patches every month, so there are always just few patches to catch up (cumulative update for windows, cumulative for dotnet, defender, defender data, msedge, anything else? Of these, only the first two want to reboot).
Knowing to DRY there depended on business knowledge that the original author did not have.

While they were wrong in this case, I would say it was a reasonable move to not DRY based on the code pattern itself at the time. And that's the big difference imo - DRYing based strictly on the structure of code vs business processes.
It was only asked 3 days ago. Presumably people are still cooking up workarounds. Of course the obvious-but-low-effort answers are in first.
(co-founded a commercial startup based on an open source project, invest into a lot of open source/commercial businesses)

Open sourcing as a strategy works when there is a lot of developer interest and (usually) a developer is the beneficiary of the software (that doesn't mean the developer is the end user, but take WordPress, even if it's used by a lot of marketers for websites, it is developers who are the ones using it to produce those websites).

If your product is CRM/ERP, is there a lot of developer involvement in the provision of the software? And if not, what is the enabling factor for your beneficiaries to be able to take a FOSS package and begin to realize value? Don't confuse positive feedback of "this is cool" etc with positive feedback from buyers and beneficiaries.

FOSS B2B software communities work when there is value in not using the commercial version. Why would anyone who needs a CRM/ERP want to use a FOSS product when they would have budget to buy a commercial version and gain commercial support. I would assert that all users of CRM/ERP software have budget - unfortunately they just don't want to spend it on your product and so why would they then want to take the same product for free instead?

I think you need to have a clear reassessment of why your business is where it is (where it isn't) and what would change that. Not sure that open sourcing solves that. Good luck.
It’s 18–24k per year in perpetuity. You can have a decent living on this much in a sizeable part of the world. Not in SV though. But still, it’s nothing to sneeze at.
This solution works very well, and I’m surprised that others on this thread do not take advantage of persisted queries. Yes, it’s recreating REST, except that you don’t need to version endpoints, etc. The source of truth is the front end repo. That’s the point!

Use of persisted queries also addresses the article’s concerns about DDOS.
Without even scrolling down, there's a header describing the work they're doing for "Continuous work on speed, performance and compatibility", exactly what you asked for.

Anytime Firefox works on UI stuff, people seem to get really annoyed they aren't working on something else. You mention that "Reorganizing menus or adding alt text to PDFs won't make any impact on user adoption", I think it's the exact opposite. There is no greater thing the average everyday Joe cares more about than the UI, and if they just called it good 10 years ago, the project would be in an even worse state.
Frankly, if a developer can't figure out XML then they aren't worth their salary. Age is no excuse here; as a developer your job involves figuring out how to work with technology you haven't used before.
If they don't care enough to keep them charged, maybe they don't want/need them?
So.. Panopticon drone that autokeeps distance while observing and live streaming events?
Using Elixir+Absinthe solves most of these problems and the idea that a non-self documenting API doesn’t need every field to be secure is quite frankly a ridiculous thing to label as a problem for GraphQL, maybe the self documentation encourages better security practices, who knows!?
I was reading this comment and thought it looks AI generated. GPTZero’s scan resulted in detecting 100% of this text as likely AI generated.
It also seems reasonable for teachers to say, "my email hours are not from the hours of 8am-4pm, so email me after school - since that's when I'll be answering them anyway."

> As a Firefox daily user, this list makes me better understand why Firefox has such a low market share

As another Firefox active user, I say this has nothing at all to do with it. I use Firefox because it lets me control what I need to control to be productive, but I recognize this isn't why most people used Firefox at its peak. 99% of the reason Firefox got so big was that IE was so awful. Edge is serviceable, so that takes away the vast majority of Firefox's former user base.

Firefox isn't going to grow as big as it was before Edge came along unless one of the major consumer OS provides a broken default browser on its platform and allows Firefox to run on its platform (iOS fulfills only one of the requirements). It won't grow as big as it was before Chrome came along unless both of the earlier requirements are met and Firefox renders Google sites better than Chrome.
You can POST to Google forms from a custom form on your website: https://g.leftium.com/r/sample

Friend, with proton in Steam you can also run games on Linux just fine now (if you moved to Linux, on MacOS - god help you).

Lack of PWA / installable apps is why I switched back to chrome after trying to daily drive firefox for a while. Really wish they'd reconsider the decision to drop it.
I normally don't comment on stuff like this, but this is dishonest at best.

The bible is a collection of multiple books, some are stories and myths, some are historical, some are divine law / ways to live. The vast majority of faith traditions today that root the bible as divine revelation do not see the old testament's law as binding on modern man, but rather either instruction for a more "devolved" people, part of an invalidated covenant, or part of an older "aeon" or age of man.
I believe you need a twitter blue subscription or whatever the heck they're calling it now to make tweets this long.
It seems every 10 years there is a promising development along these lines in dentistry. Examples include a cavity vaccine, various coatings, and tooth-growing drugs like this one. Yet, nothing ever comes to fruition. Dentistry is nearly exactly the same as it was 30 or 40 years ago, and the only variable in our hands to fight cavities is time spent brushing. It is astonishing how little dentistry has changed and how few new treatments are available.
Like many you are likely confused by the Foundation (MoFo) vs. Corp (MoCo) finances.

You can only donate to MoFo, and indeed it doesn't spend much (if anything) paying Firefox staff. This is because Firefox staff is on the MoCo payroll, which gets its revenue mostly from their search engine deal with Google. MoCo actually pays MoFo to use the trademarks that are owned by MoFo.
I switched to Linux full time two years ago and I'm never looking back (until a "trusted" OS is required by law). There are times when I truly need windows for something so I keep it around on a spare HDD to boot into it.

In the future I plan on relegating it to a VM on a separate VLAN to keep the cooties at bay.
That's a waste of money: simply rip all the pages out of the book and lay them out separately on a flat surface somewhere. Then I can read half the book at once, flip all the pages over, and read the other half. Easy.
I'm pretty sure that there are safety critical ARM CPU's and Ferrocene does support ARM.

That whole thing is manufactured drama by some youtubers.

I can't say if the infections themselves are real or staged, but they clearly and explicitly set the OS up for failure: they give it a public internet IP, enable file sharing, RDP, remote assistance, then disable the firewall for good measures. No modern OS would fare better in those circumstances.
GraphQL gives you the ability to compose fragments, so if the UserDetail component and UserPaymentInfo component both use the user’s name, it is loaded once.

With ad hoc solutions like tRPC, you end up fetching the same field multiple times (and probably doing some sort of network waterfall), or you give up on data masking and composability. And if you have enough engineers, data masking and composability are critical to maintain velocity.
Dobbs was probably such a case, but I doubt there was ever a 9-0 case that was a net win for the zero.
That doesn't jive with your experience as an adult in the real world?

Someone in authority says a thing must be a way.

You're welcome to plead your case, or take them to court, or try any other redress that you want. But in the end, if you need something from them you're beholden to their requirements and favor.

It's not like they're asking a child to submit a paper at the top of Mt Everest.

If it needs to be in dead tree form, on a desk, then you plan a way to make that happen. Or you argue your case about why you shouldn't be subject to those rules.
This is a slight tangent, but I would love to see a sentiment analysis graph of HN perceptions of Meta/Facebook over time for the past two years or so. Subjectively, my sense is that releasing Llama 2/3 gained them a lot of good will in this community and attitudes have generally become much more positive towards them as OpenAI's star has fallen.

In terms of developer goodwill, they may be the real winners of this whole gold rush.
> Obviously this doesn't cover all use cases for a car (pretty sure you can't load a kayak onto a Waymo because you'd block sensors), but it seems WAY better to me as someone who doesn't like to deal with the people aspect of Taxis.

In a world where waymo works as a taxi, it also works to deliver a human-drivable rental car right to your door (and send it on to the next customer when you're done with it).

So now the short term car rental user experience should be dramatically better, even if the robotaxi isn't appropriate for all the tasks.
Good. I’m so sick of finding myself signed up to prime with no recollection of ever doing so.

The deactivation process is awful too - an obstacle course of dark patterns.
> “one time bump” to global heating

That's not entirely accurate. Short lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) that are being continuously emitted (e.g. SO4, NOx, contrail-cirrus) have cumulative effects. The heat trapped on earth is cumulative with a long equilibration time constant, and SO4 (not just from ships) has wiped out a huge fraction of the warming up to now.

Book Review: How to win friends and influence people
DRY often gives you the wrong or a leaky abstraction and creates dependencies between sometimes unrelated pieces of code. It’s got tradeoffs rather than being a silver bullet for improving codebases.

Having 0% DRY is probably bad, having 100% DRY is probably unhinged

Give in.

You'll do it a few times, rewrite everything, get a sense of the work vs reward ratio, and over time be better at only thinking about things that are really worth the effort.
One context it works well in is something like PostGraphile. You basically spend very little time developing the back end. This obviously does not scale to very large projects.
Pop III stars (if they existed) are really a mystery, we can't easily extrapolate. These stars would be purely hydrogen and helium so it would take them a surprisingly long time to get to CNO cycle, for example.
When I was a kid, acid rain was destroying forests and lakes in Europe and North America. It was an immediate and obvious problem with catastrophic consequences. We managed to deal with it, which is why we can now afford to think about longer-term environmental issues, such as climate change.

The problem remains in large parts of Asia, where sulfur emissions have continued rising. These emission caps are necessary. They may make climate change a more urgent problem, but that's not a valid excuse to repeal the caps.

I've even heard stories where the one who is dying offers advice to the one who will survive about which of their single friends would likely make the best match.

And why not? Who knows the remaining spouse better than the departing one? Who has better insight than that? It seems like a deeply loving thing to do.

Even though her death was sudden and there was no chance to prepare for it, it makes me smile to know my sister's widower married someone who knew and loved my sister too. And it's probably easier for the second spouse this way too, because she does have context for her husband's grief. She also grieves the anniversary of my sister's death, obviously not in the same way, but with an understanding that someone who didn't know my sister would struggle to have.
There is quite a large contingent of Americans who are better off. Those with equity investments and those who had already purchased their "final" home (or most expensive and next step is downgrading) are doing very well.

> Your FreeStyle Libre pings your phone when you have low blood sugar.

Surely this could just be an exemption? If you have a medical device (not just low blood sugar devices) that uses a phone then you can keep your phone.

> When your watch detects a serious fall or a heart abnormality your phone calls emergency services.

I'm curious how far your phone can be away from your watch for this to still work?

Regardless, most kids aren't far away from others so a serious fall probably isn't a big risk since the kids nearby can get a teacher or some other adult.

> You use your phone to let the dog walker in, check the camera to see if you turned off the garden hose or left it running

Are these things that kids need to do?

Seems like a kid could go to the office and the school can provide the phone to them for a while.

Also, kids were able to get by without using a phone to find their wallets for centuries. It might do a kid some good to walk around the school and get exercise.
Nah, it's one level up having basically everything as an Ent (ORM object) with an associated data access policy that does that.
Hearing experiences in this thread gets my blood roiling. I spent a lifetime on Windows and it used to be a great OS, that respected the user and placed them in control.

The latest spilth out of Microsoft seems to deliver a more toxic user experience with each release. It's a real shame as there have been some incredible improvements under the hood in the kernel, which get spoiled by awful product and business decisions.

People here like to criticize holdouts who refused to upgrade beyond Windows 7, but I don't blame 'em for simply saying NO. Most of the ones I've met rely on other mitigations for security (eg. 0patch, firewalls, fully offline environments), and not a single one has reported feeling more pain in practice from nefarious adversaries than peers on recent versions of the OS have endured from Microsoft.
