Mozilla is appalling. Not only are the disgusting people in charge running Firefox towards a slow decay into obscurity, they're also treating their fellow human beings as garbage.

Not surprising, but still.

I can't wait for Ladybird and the Servo web browser to mature so I can distance myself from this garbage company.

(No, Chrome-based browsers aren't a compelling alternative and I don't use Apple devices.)
So how do you get complex necessary medical care effectively in the United States?
As someone who doesn't solder or really do much with hardware at all, this answers a longtime question of mine. I always wondered how people got all their stuff aligned perfectly ;)
Good point, I think we need more unions for child labourers, we need to stop child labour in Asia, Africa and South America. If you start that union I will be the first to sign up, I will gladly not go to work for that cause.

While I mostly agree with what you say, I am quite happy that AMD uses their worse server chiplets for Ryzens, because this makes possible the assembling of very cheap but high-performance servers using e.g. 9950X, which has a much better performance per dollar than any Epyc or Xeon CPU or than any datacenter-oriented GPU.

Such cheap servers are the right choice for small businesses and for individuals, for whom the great increases in the prices of the server CPUs that have happened starting in 2017, since the launch of the Skylake Server CPUs, have made them either unaffordable or not worthwhile.

Because Intel cripples all their consumer CPUs, they cannot really compete with AMD for this purpose, except for some very restricted applications, e.g. for a server which does nothing else but code compilation, or for a server which does nothing else but hosting a Web server. Even for such applications, buying one of the very few motherboards for Intel that support ECC memory is likely to increase the price well over the AMD solution.
This is exactly how I’ve been doing my recent projects and it just works so smoothly.

> send back only the rendered components/partials that changed.

What does this look like for you in practice? I’m imagining you have specific APIs per component/partial that mimic what happens during the full page load. Is there anything else you’re doing?

Also, does “changed” just mean the resource was requested and you return a potentially refreshed partial? Or are you returning a signal to ignore triggering a page update when you can identify the rendered component has no difference?
I read this as intended to be some kind of rebuttal but… Where did I say it wasn't conjecture?

I was stating facts about the ecosystem. People didn't trust it at the time.

I never said there was a definite reason for that distrust.
But isn’t Poketpair also part of the Japanese video game industry? Did they also break some gentle man agreement this time?
Well, if I have to choose whether I believe IDF or Hamas, I obviously choose IDF.
Because they’re owned by Big Pharma and Big Healthcare. Same as Republicans. Also because we'd much rather fund wars than solve such problems.
Bayonetta (2009, 2014, 2023) has loading screens that double as training mode (you can practice your moves while the game is loading).
I'm not even trolling that much lol. When I look at most western elections, you basically "have" to choose between fascists nowadays.
You're totally right. I just quickly scanned the readme and had expected a tool that only check the files. But yes, it's a bad idea in general to run random cli programs without checking them in detail
so we've had some success getting libbluray with java working on android (i.e. needed for bluray's java support), but that requires an entire jvm built for android (heavy). I've always wondered if a j2me emulator (as bluray's java spec is built on top of j2me as I understand it), would be an easier way.
My first generation M1 Macbook Pro has been a great workhorse as well. It is still chugging along. The backlight on the keyboard is a distant memory. One of the two USB-C ports decided to retire its data bus. It also made a high voltage arc and rebooted earlier today for the first time ever. I was very pleasantly surprised when I found out the speakers were spared any damage during this process.

It came back online right away as if nothing happened and has outstanding battery life that's still making the M1 Max envious.
I actually made money from selling a midlet via the Singtel marketplace. Not a lot but it was a good experience actually getting something to production outside of normal work.
I remember one of my senior colleagues (I was just an internship) making a J2ME app to calculate who should pay the coffee for others.
BGP full view and traceroutes?
It's pretty hard to fake the path that a packet takes to that IP address.
In my fictional country, in order to release a software product to the market, or a hardware appliance that runs software, the vendor must:

- Subscribe to an end-of-life insurance package for security software patches. Vendor must contribute periodically. The amount contributed is proportional to the number of appliances sold, with a multiplication factor to account for how hard it is to upgrade the software. Vendor is still legally bound, by SLA, to release software patches and provide an upgrade path to customers for as long as devices remain operational (ie. no fixed EOL). The insurance is only there in case vendor goes bankrupt.

- Or else release the software under an FSF-approved free software license, including all the needed toolchain to deploy software fixes on an appliance. Any third party is then legally empowered to provide patching services (caveat: the third party must agree to same SLA as vendor in point above).

- Or else vendor must put in place a guaranteed-buyback scheme whereby consumers can get at least 75% of the ongoing retail price (or last known retail price) by bringing back a device. The funds must be put in escrow, to protect users if vendor goes bankrupt.
Stop Payment on Cashier Check
Looking for advise on how to proceed, client brought a Chase Bank Cashier Check to purchase materials from our business. The check is make payable to our business name. Only days later to find out a stop payment was placed on the Casher's Check. Now our business is out the Money and unable to identify the customer. Seeking help.
I was recently reviewing my Google account session history and saw an active session from some small town in western China. Obviously freaked out, rolled all passwords, spent hours scouring what they could’ve had access to, etc.

Only for the next day, when Google updates the exact same sessions location to my exact real location on another continent.

Google of course won’t show the IP address of sessions anymore, just the “location” so there was no way of confirming beforehand.
Brave with the shady features switched off. There’s still some privacy burden on the user, but it’s no comparison with Chrome and they’re pushing the envelope on privacy in other aspects.

Firefox forks are another option, depending on your reasons for avoiding the original.

Big things have small beginnings.

I think Donald Rumsfeld said something about unknown unknowns.

But, tell me what you want tested and add that to my list.
I don't know how far this can go but it's a feeling that I've had which is relevant and some people might resonate with.

I used some tiny devices (e.g. Casio PB80 http://oldcomputermuseum.com/casio_pb80.html) as a kid to write small programs on in BASIC. It has only a single line of display and you had to sort of remember where things were to make your GOTOs work properly etc. This means that most of the program had to be in your head. You couldn't easily jump between things and see the whole thing as a single screen of text. I also remember reading that people like Ken Thompson wrote significant parts of the original UNIX on a line editor (ed). That would also mean that most of it had to be in his head in a semi parsed format.

Sure, with modern editors and IDEs, you can outsource that to the computer and focus on the more valuable stuff but I still wonder how much the grunt work of remembering things in detail is under appreciated in creative work.
Maybe it’s just me but I find SMT easier and faster to prototype with than THT. Apply paste, place all components on the board with tweezers, reflow, done. With THT I have to bend / cut the legs of most components, and solder each point individually.

As for “high lead solder” - you won’t buy it in Europe. We had to learn using lead free for rework and you know what - it’s not much different, assuming you have high quality equipment.

My phone feels like a beater that's about to give up on me, and it's younger than yours. I envy long-lasting tech.
Non-exit nodes are generally considered safe to run. it's only exit nodes that system enforcement keeps trying to shut down.

Hmm I'm far from an expert but no-one else had commented on this aspect: it's not just about how they take in information, it's about how the lack of sight will affect their development. So worth thinking about what the different things your son needs to learn developmentally at each point and whether you can support that with sound, smell and touch. There are some academic articles on this that can be found on Google scholar.

If he is only partly blind there may also be ways to make sure that visual brain development is supported
> we need more relay operators. Can’t wave a magic wand. There’s like 8000 relays. Haven’t looked in a while.

The reason that there are so few relays and exit nodes is that everyone that runs an exit node believes, for very good reason, that they'll be opening themselves up to subpoenas and arrest for operating one. You know who never has to worry about getting arrested? Surveillance agencies tasked with running exit nodes.

Consider the two classes of relay and exit operators:

1. People who operate relays and exit nodes long term, spending money to do so with no possibility or expectation of receiving money in return, and opening themselves up to legal liability for doing so, whose only tangible benefit comes from the gratification of contributing to an anonymous online network

2. Government agencies who operate relays and exit nodes long term, spending government allocated money to operate servers, with no material risk to the agencies and whose tangible benefit comes from deanonymizing anonymous users. Crucially, the agencies are specifically tasked with deanonymizing these users.

Now, I guess the question is whether or not you think the people in group 1 have more members and more material resources than the agencies in group 2. Do you believe that there are more people willing to spend money to run the risk of having equipment seized and arrest for no gain other than philosophical gratification than there are government computers running cost and risk free, deanonymizing traffic (which is their job to do)?
It's quite common if you need to parse a schema and keep it in memory for a long time. We're working on GraphQL federation gateway and interning strings is really useful there due to schemas sometimes being hundreds of megabytes.

Writing your own interner is under hundred lines of code and takes about 15 minutes. Writing a thread-safe interner is a bit trickier problem, but there are good libraries for that.
We are having this discussion continually since 2006. It was Amazon who, despite repeated promises that "they know it is a crucial issue for their customers and that they are working on this", ultimately refused to implement the hard cap on spending. Instead, they added a million features including alarms that basically warn you once it might be far too late, especially if you are not checking your mail every minute in the night. The other big public cloud providers followed their suit.

So the unwritten ritual is when you make a mistake that makes you bankrupt for life is to beg, pray, and hope for their mercy.
If you want to go back on YouTube Shorts you just pause the short and swipe at the bottom (on mobile) and on desktop you don’t even have to pause first, you can just hover the scrubber and drag it around.

This did used to suck, but it’s been more a case of the YouTube Shorts player being very behind TikTok and the regular YouTube player and they’ve only slowly made changes. I would argue they took too long to make these QoL improvements, but they did make them.
The interning feature should be only used for some rare cases, it is not intended to be used widely.

In git syntax, the command is "git request-pull".

What's that in natural language? Perhaps... "A pull request"?
AFAIK Nothing seems to beat Oracle cloud: https://www.oracle.com/cloud/costestimator.html

For compute:

"Each tenancy gets the first 3,000 OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours per month for free to create Ampere A1 Compute instances. This free-tier usage is shared across Bare Metal, Virtual Machine, and Container Instances."

For block storage:

"Block Volume service Free tier allowance is for entire tenancy, 200GB total/tenancy. If there are multiple quotes for the same tenancy, only total 200GB can be applied"

In other words: you have a 4-core ARM CPU + 24GB RAM + 200GB space for free.
I run a non-exit node any time I have the spare resources. I2P too. This means they're on the same popular providers that have too many other nodes, though.

Sometimes I set it up as a bridge (hidden entry node) instead.
Up until a few years ago, I used to install and administer massive IBM server installations running AIX and DB2. Mostly for SAP ERP customers. Of course, these are not desktop system but multi-rack servers + fiber attached storage.
This is a warning for all those who fell for the hype and are not using flat-rate services like Hetzner Cloud.

Seriously, if you are not big and cannot afford losing tons of money by simple human mistakes, don't use a billing system that doesn't allow you to set up a hard cap on spending, period.
I fully agree, new file formats are a nuisance, especially to make. I wouldn't have done it if the existing solutions felt good enough.

Want to add logic to a HTML template? Say goodbye to syntax highlighting, autoformatting and any form of error checking.

Want to embed a video in markdown? Gotta put HTML in your content, the exact kind of thing you were trying to avoid by using Markdown in the first place.

That's a very shitty in-between situation that I personally wanted to get away from. I'm sure for people who don't stress too much about these points (maybe even just because they do less of this kind of work than I do), it's more valuable to leverage formats that they already know, but for me it's a death by a thousand cuts.
ZML the zig library is mostly a wrapper of StableHLO/pjrt.
But it's a high quality wrapper, and the tagged tensor syntax is really helpful to write complex ops like dot, or gather.

And ZML the framework also resolve issues with the complex dependency graph of stablehlo/pjrt.
This article actually reads like a dev who understands the problem and has an opinion.

Where else can one find such writing about security issues ?
Perhaps Apple should take a hint that no one wants so-called AI features training on a device with intimate access to their lives.

Whatever the final reality of feature availability, the conceptual damage had been done: Apple was bandwagon leaping and we had no choice.

I will never buy another Apple device for other reasons, not least of which are the short support period and ever increasing enshittification of the operating system.

I have not been a fan of anything developed since roughly steve jobs passing.
Touch bar?! No thanks.

The truth of the matter is that i see the light and insist upon a world where open source software, standards compliance, and end user choice MATTER, and matter more than corporate profits for an already too large and corrupt behemoth.

Apple is a company, not your friend
> So that's 50% of those killed, right?

Wrong. You claimed:

>>> Approx half the casualties are civilians

Casualties doesn't mean "those who died", it means "Injured or killed".

If you have to use a definition for a word that differs from the dictionary for your argument to work, it's your argument that is broken, not the dictionary.

Your entire argument in this thread is based on not knowing what "casualty" means.
As a general rule, DEI proponents forget that a lot of the authoritarianism around speech and specific desired social behaviour directly interferes with severely autistic people.

Often the people who are fervently in favour of DEI initiatives (rather than in a relaxed way, like ordinary people who wish for equity and inclusion) will make the accommodations only if that person is labelled, diagnosed and if they don't behave “like an asshole”.

The annoying thing is that Autism itself is a disorder, largely because the people suffering find it difficult to follow social cues, steer away from taboo subjects and are largely “too honest”. Which to people who did not grow up with Autists (I did) will seem like they’re “being assholes”.

I find this to be the highest form of hypocrisy, as disorders such as high levels of autism are expressly considered a part of DEI initiatives and DEI branding, and some fervent DEI supporters will cosplay Autism- when in reality, like all people, they’re on the spectrum but not severely impacted.

I find it hard to take this group seriously when they so blatantly disregard broader, universal, accommodations around reading speech charitably to include people so supposedly core to their endeavours.

Sidenote: Often those who are loudest here are the least likely to try to understand; I’m 100% certain they will downvote this rather than telling me I am wrong, because I’m not wrong and it makes them uncomfortable.
Some Suggestions to Improve Robots.txt
It's unlikely that they want so save the technical details for the conference. It would put people at risk if the tor project would not be able to fix the issue in the meantime.
things can be patented even if there's prior art (patent examiners aren't all knowing). One can try to get the patent invalidated if there's prior art or just violate it somewhat brazenly and dare the patent holder to sue you.

you might decide that its not worth violating as the value you get from it isn't much (i.e. mini game while loading might be cute, but might not move the needle at all for sales), and the patent holder might decide not to sue you as they don't view their prospects of winning to be high.

and then you're left in the middle where the patent might prevent novel new ways of doing things because initial violations wont move the needle, but those initial experimentation could open explorations that could eventually move the needle, but since we don't see any moving the needle up front, never get to that point.
I’m sorry that it may have been unclear that the tool will make modifications without the check flag. I’m glad you didn’t loose any unstated changes :)

I will add a cautionary note to README to make it clear!
I agree with the general ethos of the piece (albeit a few of the details are puzzling and unnecessarily partisan - content on X isn't invariably worthless drivel, nor does what Reddit is doing make much intellectual as opposed to economic [IPO-influenced] sense - but this line:

'OpenAI and Google can collect their own damn data. I hope they have to pay a very high price for it, and I hope they're constantly cursing the mess that they made themselves.'

really does betray some real naivete. OpenAI and Google could literally burn $10million dollars per day (okay, maybe not OpenAI - but Google surely could) and reasonably fail to notice. Whatever costs those companies have to pay to collect training data will be well worth it to them. Any messes made in the course of obtaining that data will be dealt with by an army of employees either manually cleaning up the data, or by algorithms Google has its own LLM write for itself.

I do find the general sense of impending dystopian inhumanity arising out of the explosion of LLMs to be super fascinating (and completely understandable).
Interestingly my wife has been writing recipes on post-it notes for years in that same style, with arrows instead of tables. And she's the opposite to an Engineer, a psychologist (interest in people vs objects).

You could do the same for math. Or any subject, really. There's a reason people go to college for that, and it's not because they want to sit with a book to learn the subject.
I am using 1500€ Amscope for soldering tasks. It does not have such amazing magnification. Such magnification is also not needed for daily work. But it replaced 10k Olympus device from a decade ago. Optical devices got radically cheaper in last 20 years. SMD rework is not possible without them.

Such amazing scope is built in into 70k professional SMD rework station I use sometimes for complex repairs. Replacing RAM and processor chips is easy, but slow. Honestly I don’t think, that the scope in video is extraordinary expensive. Definitively cheaper than my old Olympus gear.

Well, Windows 11 has pretty strict requirements on CPU and TPM to be officially supported. If my computer could have it officially, I would have installed it already.
The attack Germany is thought to have actually used was to flood the network with middle nodes and wait until the victim connects to their middle node. Then, it knows the guard node's IP. Then, it went to an ISP and got logs for everyone who connected to that IP.
> How hard would it be for Firefox to exist on it's own without Mozilla?

It exists due to Google's funding. Mozilla barely makes much else otherwise.

So not very hard, assuming Google continues to sponsor it.
There are a ton of benefits to having continuity of care, but also access to care. Do any out-of-network providers have appointments available? If so, and you can't find one in-network, you may be able to get an out-of-network provider covered as in-network due to an inadequate network.

I've heard of people calling their insurance company and keeping them on the line while they call a handful of offices and get turned down for appointments to get this approved.

I feel the seiss system really nails it. Health insurance is mandatory. If you can't afford even the basic level, the government pays for it. The basic level itself covers basically everything from emergency care, hospital stays and gp. The extras you can pay for are things like single rooms in hospitals or access to private clinics. Compared to the local salaries, the basic package is quite cheap - doubly so compared to the UK where National Insurance extracts a very hefty portion of your paycheck and this gets you the dire waiting times of nhs...
