And what happened after? Did you stop using YouTube altogether or you can now moderate your usage?

I did a similar experiment quitting YouTube and reddit for a month last year. By the end of the month I didn't feel like I missed it much and thought that it wasn't a problem for me anymore. Unfortunately, with time my usage started to ramp up again.
Done! Thank you for spending the time explaining this to me. I clicked "hide" on this post and wrote one with "Shown HN" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43239066

Thanks!
Which is why everyone is so keen on standards (Convention, formatting, architecture,...), because it is less a burden when you're just comparing expected to actual, than learning unknowns.
If you're like me and want to keep the OS setting intact but not have it affect web sites, add the following preference in Firefox: ui.prefersReducedMotion (0 = no, 1 = yes).
I agree, after some discussion I decided to click "hide" on this post and post another with "Shown HN", sorry about wrong flagging.
Reading cookie-less responses is also forbidden. I couldn't read your Google account information, just make an anonymous Google search through your browser. I fail to see what's the big deal.
It was preserved in the sense a fossil is preserved. The object was destroyed but some of it's structure remains. (Which is ludicrously cool. The world is so strange and wonderful. Though it's also a world where a volcano can erupt in your vicinity.)

Safari + Firefox here.

But I use Firefox for webdev as well.

And unlike my colleagues using Chrome I've only once been made aware of something I made that didn't work in every browser.

The pic with the shadow of the lander is really close to what you get out of KSP when you first land on Mun or Minmus. Really really cool. Congrats to everyone who made this happen!
I was SVP Engineering as well as CTO from 2013 January till 2014 April. Your use of "mostly abandoned" is a false statement, knowingly told. You don't say it if you don't have evidence, but the evidence in terms of headcount and budget does not support what you say. I had four VPs under me, and only one was working on Firefox OS. Firefox was fully funded.
I could help you with this. What you really need to begin with is someone willing to put a sizeable sum into it to start things rolling.
We had something similar, our home ec classes had some household management, but the focus was largely on cooking and making/repairing clothing. This further split into seperate elective classes in the last few years of high school. That said some aspects of homekeeping were absorbed by other classes (math module on balancing a budget, social studies modules on how you'd start a business, etc.).

> It was basically "home ec" is for girls, shop is for guys.

We didn't have too many girls in the shop classes, but we had a surprisingly large numbers of guys taking the clothing and textiles classes. It was regarded as one of the most relaxed and enjoyable electives, and there was an unofficial exemption to the uniform policy that you could wear things you'd produced in class, so it was nice to see the schoolyard brightened by students wearing strange and colorful clothing.
There are hundreds of them (everyone has an opinion about which is best). And most of them go out of their way to hide the nonsense that they have to jump through to get git to behave as the GUI expects it. Some of the visual git GUI tools do show you the gobbley-gook that they emit to the git CLI and it's shocking, like watching how the sausage is made.
Thank you for calling this out. I noticed the same thing over the last few days but didn't recall the specific places I'd seen the topic popping up.
Reading in Firefox mobile.

I open Chrome / Edge 4 times or so every year it feels, either to verify something is just as broken there or because of low quality systems at work.
While the author is OK in complaining about Chrome but wtf is website hijacking scrolling sensitivity/acceleration?
Yep, grew up on cartoons like Transformers, GI Joe, Thundercats, etc. Looking at them now, they are laughably bad in most respects, but they sparked our imaginations and didn't need to be sophisticated to do it.
Yes, let's point to an industry with arguably the lowest barrier to entry as basis of good faith comparison to implicitly deny the existence of consolidation[1]. /s

Yep, each group has one or more moderators. Like Reddit I guess but no up/downvotes. There's some automated moderation as well - it doesn't let you post links (which is mad) and I read that at one point there was a censoring of mentions of Storygraph.
This is a nice story but it's untrue. We had no volunteers who actually worked on Mozilla code and who "rebelled" (Hampton Catlin et al. did not contribute as part of "The volunteers"). The entire late March to early April drama was too fast to measure any change in volunteer contributions to Mozilla code. Volunteers saying they'd stop volunteering wasn't a factor in what went down.

Worse, you are making stuff up in claiming that volunteers in substantial numbers "propped up" Mozilla. The Google money was still good enough to pay all essential personnel.
I was 100% for infra as code as it gives devs more freedom to get what they need. Then the startup went from 50 to 100 to 1000 and people just needed to get stuff done and usually the exact same thing over and over. So we migrated to a custom DSL which is much easier to standardize, lint, review and read. I think when you don't know what you need code is better for flexibility, when the domain is sorted, DSL.
Got it working this afternoon this is great! thanks

I'm too tall and I don't have twenty PhDs so I don't think "astronaut" is really on the table for me, but I would absolutely go to the moon if I had the opportunity.

The dust would give me some anxiety too but I think it would be worth it.
You're probably referring to Cycles X [1], which if I'm not mistaken has already been released.

It will never be on-par with Eevee's performance though as they are fundamentally different approaches to rendering: Cycles is a physically-based path-tracing engine, while Eevee uses rasterization through OpenGL.

I think we're talking past each other at this point. You seem to have brushed past without acknowledging my point about systems without the principle of explosion, and I'm afraid I must have missed one or more points you tried to make along the way, because what you're saying doesn't make much sense to me anymore.

This is probably a good point to close the discussion -- I'm thankful for the cordial talk, even if we ultimately couldn't reach common ground.
Regardless what the original story behind the Kaspersky ban was, if you genuinely don't think that a Russian antivirus company represents a state-controlled threat to US organisations, public and private, in 2025 then I don't know what to say to you.

> meaningful threats

True, they cease being “meaningful” the moment you surrender and stop viewing them as threats.

OFC it’s all relative, Russia and similar actors having more political/economic influence in the US (and by extension globally) might not be viewed as a negative by some people.
I could not give a flying fuck what it was rendered with , tech level is not impressive. But what a story and presentation. I find Flow beautiful. I, my daughter and my grandson watched it and could not take our eyes away from it.
> domain names somehow being a meaningful security boundary

That's your Internet opinion. Perhaps expand on why you think that?

I reckon domains have quite a few strong security features. Strong enough that we use them to help access valuable accounts

Indeed, much of the mcu chip lines are still relatively old processes. If people need something radiation-hardened for space, than modern processes are inapplicable anyways due to smaller gate-size sensitivity etc.

Most firms are now fab-less chip companies, and given the production volume economics... the market leaves little room for "new" competition. =3
Not sure how it's with OpenAI, but Anthropic is so money-hungry, they won't even let you remove your debit card data from your account without a week-long support encounter.
Compilers still prefer LEA to multiply on 3,5 and 9, which performs shift+add I believe.
What is wrong with staging? I don't even consider staging until it is time to commit, at which point it is a little area to gather the exact changes you need.
Not if US and Russia become “allies”. Then UK/EU companies will become a bigger “threat”.

It should go even further e.g. you don’t want ARM installing backdoors on their chips and giving hostile foreign organizations like the MI6 access to vital American infrastructure, intelligence data etc. do you?

It might be the time to consider switching to Elbrus or at least mandating that all devices used by US government agencies have to use Intel’s chips.
But solving merge conflicts is fundamentally an editing task, not source control.
> Then you'll get code that passes the tests you generate

Just recently I think here on HN there was a discussion about how neural networks optimize towards the goal they are given, which in this case means exactly what you wrote, including that the code will do stuff in wrong ways just to pass the given tests.

Where do the tests come from? Initially from a specification of what "that thing" is supposed to do and also not supposed to do. Everyone who had to deal with specifications in a serious way knows how insanely difficult it is to get these right, because there are often things unsaid, there are corner cases not covered and so on. So the problem of correctness is just shifted, and the assumption that this may require less time than actually coding ... I wouldn't bet on it.

Conceptually the idea should work, though.
“Errors”?
CSS preprocessors like Sass have had functions for, like, ever.
> And when I needed to increase the clock speed to play higher sample rates, this caused I/O errors with the SD card that I never managed to solve.

Presumably if a RP2040 could almost do it, a RP2350 could do it no problem. Unless you were limited by PWM speed. Even then you might be able to accept less resolution and filter and dither.
Your comment reminds me of the Yogi Berra quote, "Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded."

How about directly linking to the CVEs and how quickly they were mitigated and in which commit?

Pay researchers to analyse repos without any. Post results. Link to the repo with mitigation PRs.

It’s insane this isn’t the standard already
>>“The idea that trauma and violence can have repercussions into future generations should help people be more empathetic, help policymakers pay more attention to the problem of violence”

Violence impacts virtually every aspect of human existence. Consider for one moment what life would be like in an alien world in which life existed in the total absence of violence. No wars. No violent crime. No child abuse. No sexual abuse. No police. No prisons. No weapons. No militaries.

Violence is a scourge. I have spent the past 20 years discussing the issue of violence with people in RL and online - and it is simply shocking how much males WANT violence. Enjoy violence. Consider it a part of their masculinity and that they would feel neutered in a world without violence. To me, that sense of pride in violence, is the scariest thing I have come across in my 72 year male life. And the saddest for what it portends for the future of our species.

"Everything is chrome in the future."

The article doesn't really say anything new, but _why_ are most browser forks of Chrome instead of Firefox? Is chrome just that much easier to fork? I remember there used to be Camino for mac that was killed and rolled into firefox, and even to this day firefox support on mac is poor. The lack of a firefox equivalent to Electron also hurts things, even though it seemed firefox was ahead of the curve with XUL.
This is an underrated comment. I like the framing of Remote as Millenial’s 40hr workweek. In the face of declining worker conditions we made the best of a crisis (pandemic) and showed that working remotely was viable for most jobs. But no, the ruling class could not tolerate those gains.

My prediction is that as soon as interest rates fall, employers will be reintroducing “flexibility” to lure workers and attract talent. And at that point it might become more established.
its mix of both. I don't think full automation is possible at the moment.
Flickr has had a resurgence of popularity among photographers since yahoo sold it. It’s easily the best “professional” photo hosting site currently.
Nice art, but now imagine a large number of very modern nuclear reactors, hidden away in industrial areas like other industry, generating massive amounts of power, consistently. And of course, capturing all its toxic outputs and barreling them up, to be re-enriched at least once. At that point it's a trash handling problem, which pretty much every single other form of energy completely ignores. What happens to old solar panels, old wind turbines, what happens to the exhaust gases and particles from burning coal, etc? What happens to old batteries?

Andreas Gal was already CTO after I got the CEO appointment. No "gone back to CTO" and stomp on Andreas in that role. I had been SVP Engineering too, but that was not in the new org chart I set up as CEO. As I've written elsewhere, I left to help Mozilla, not hurt it.

What happened after I left is not in any way on me. I'm not a slave, serf, indentured servant, or lifelong mandatory employee-subject of Mozilla, and I thank God every day for this.

I think with YMMV, these are the two most important things we need to keep in our mind. With plethora of technologies and similar tools, we generally read the tin superficially but not the manual, and we declare "This is bollocks!".

Every tool is targeted towards a specific use and thrive in specific scenarios. Calling a tool bad for something not designed for is akin to getting angry to your mug because it doesn't work as well when upside down [0].

This is not code. This is configuration.

FWIW we've been working on letting you declare data in YSH, a new Unix shell.

So you can arbitrarily interleave code and data, with the same syntax. The config dialect is called "Hay" - Hay Ain't YAML.

Here's a demo based on this example: https://github.com/oils-for-unix/blog-code/blob/main/hay/iac...

It looks almost the same as HCL (although I think this was convergent evolution, since I've actually never used Terraform):

# this is YSH code!
echo 'hello world'

Data aws_route53_zone cetacean_club {
name = 'cetacean.club.'
}

Resource aws_route53_record A {
zone_id = data.aws_route53_zone.cetacean_club.zone_id
name = "ingressd.$[data.aws_route53_zone.cetacean_club.name]"
type = 'A'
ttl = "300"
}

And then the stdout of this config "program" is here - https://github.com/oils-for-unix/blog-code/blob/main/hay/out...

It can be serialized to JSON, or post-processed and then serialized

---

Then I show you can wrap Resource in a for loop, as well as parameterize it with a "proc" (procedure).

make-resource (12)
make-resource (34)
if (true) {
make-resource (500)
}

This is all still in progress, and can use feedback, e.g. on Github. (This demo runs, but it relies on a recent bug fix.)

The idea is not really to make something like Terraform, but rather to make a language with metaprogramming powerful enough to make your own "dialects", like Terraform.

I wrote a doc about Hay almost 3 years ago - Hay - Custom Languages for Unix Systems - https://oils.pub/release/0.27.0/doc/hay.html

Comments - https://lobste.rs/s/phqsxk/hay_ain_t_yaml_custom_languages_f...

At that time, Oils was a slow Python prototype, but now it's fast C++! So it's getting there

The idea of Oils is shell+Python+JSON+YAML, squished together in the same language. So this works by reflection and function calls, not generating text ("Unix sludge"). No Go templates generating YAML, etc.

Please design a physical product to reliably fail after a specific and precise amount of time (not usage, because that’s easier and not what you’re arguing), then come back and describe how easily you accomplished that feat. Everyone reading this thread who has worked in device design knows that your assertions are completely and utterly misguided.
To be clear, the french regularly engage in violence, of which the yellow vest riots are an excellent example. Damage to property and injury to persons is not “political organization”, it is definitionally violence.
Managed C++ is pretty much around, kind of, as it got replaced by C++/CLI in .NET 2.0, is still used by many of us instead of dealing with P/Invoke annotations, is required by WPF infrastructure, and currently is on C++20 support level.

Also the thing that people miss is compounded experience. Just starting with any language, you have to read a lot of documentation, books, and articles. After a year or so, you have enough skeleton projects, code samples, and knowledge, that you could build a mini framework if the projects were repetitive. Even then, you could just copy paste features that you've already implemented, like that test harness or the Rabbitmq integration an be very productive that way.
I’m always really sceptical of any “proof by example” that is essentially anecdotal.

If this is going to be your argument, you need a solid scientific approach. A study where N developers are given access to a tool vs N that are not, controls are in place etc.

Because the overwhelming majority of coders I speak to are saying exactly the same thing, which is LLMs are a small productivity boost. And the majority of cursor users, which is admittedly a much smaller number, are saying it just gets stuck playing whack a mole. And common sense says these are the expected outcomes, so we are going to need really rigorous work to convince people that LLMs can build 90% of most deeply technical projects. Exceptional results require exceptional evidence.

And when we do see anecdotal incidents that seem so divergent from the norm, well that then makes you wonder how that can be, is this really objective or are we in some kind of ideological debate?
Publishing in Science — a premier scientific journal — carries significant weight. When STEM PhDs use this platform for political advocacy, it misleads the public into assuming scientific consensus on divisive issues. It undermines trust in science which is already facing a crisis in legitimacy.

The letter states: "As political parties in the US and beyond seek to recodify white supremacist philosophies, STEM leadership must take urgent action." This clearly implies a link between anti-DEI efforts and white supremacy. This is an inflammatory leap, and tying it to their PhDs, let alone to Science, disgraces the scientific establishment. And your claim that this doesn't refer to anti-DEI efforts is disingenuous. There is no other phenomenon at play that the alleged "recodification of white supremacy philosophies" could be referring to. The letter is a reaction to the anti-DEI program and is plainly implying that this program amounts to recodification of white supremacy philosophies.

They’re using their credentials as a bully pulpit to push a narrow ideological viewpoint. It’s dogmatic and unethical and the decision by Science to give this a platform further undermines the credibility of the scientific establishment.

Racial affinity groups promote segregation, clashing with the color-blind foundation of modern science. They are indefensible, and attempts to legitimize them by labeling critics as white supremacists are intellectually dishonest to a shameless extreme. Claiming that disallowing these racial-identity groups in taxpayer funded institutions amounts to promoting civil liberties violations by emboldening racists is just more totally baseless and inflammatory smear tactics to maintain programs that reject colorblindness and thereby promote racism.

While they keep conjuring up the racist right-wing boogeyman, actual codified racism — ruled on by the Supreme Court — pervades academia. Racial affinity groups, propped up by this broader racial privilege ideology, have fueled discrimination across academia, where applicants are judged heavily by race. Yet these ideologues have the gall to claim the real threat is to so-called disadvantaged groups. It’s a sham, and the evidence proves it.

You're defending atrocious behavior by people who are brandishing their scientific credentials to legitimize it.
Public bathrooms are getting much better in China. There's been a very noticeable improvement recently, I think tied to a government inspection program.
Agreed. Extension user installs on their browser? Great. Something sites implement and impose on everyone? Please, no, except for truly pointless sites that are just about silly things. It's like those sites that try to force smooth scrolling on you.
Since speedrunners who find glitches are obviously very technical, do they usually already have some sort of day job in tech? I imagine it might be easier and just as lucrative to work on some CRUD app 9-5 and devote the rest of their time to research/streaming, and may be preferable to overloading their brain with even more of the same kind of research.
