A previous memo from the exact same email address as the "5 bullets" email told employees that this email account was being established as a way to communicate with every single federal employee at once, and stated clearly that no one was obligated to reply to any messages from the email account.

Maybe have them re-open https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird.org/issues/50 or check for an existing/create a new issue?

It seems #50 was meant for both a newsletter & posts, but they closed it, possibly prematurely, when they got posts working.

I'm not following. How much is the difference? The difference to them is $30,000. But you forgot to specify what the difference to the company is.
With a monopoly of power, there can be laws, with laws there can be contracts. With multiple power monopolies, there is constant conflict, eternal border wars and contracts are just reliable as long as they are useful for both sides.
To destroy their own source of wealth, by destroying the pillar of lawfulness, is a incredible dumb move - even or especially for a oligarchy
This is so funny!

It seems, just as an example, that ycombinator does not like solo founders.
Legalese heavily errs on asking too much, and maybe the possibility without bad intentions triggered users, maybe, but honestly, there's a bunch of flaws we've seen over time and this was more like the not so little drop that spilled the glass.

Instead of privacy, users have been force-fed unwanted "features" that so happen to need external services instead of others like a UI revamp that made Sidebery and Containerise unnecessary.
The only recent good feature I recall is the offline translation, prior to that it's gotta be the sync server that you could host yourself, and the reading mode that helps reading the web in its increasingly bloated downfall.
Apparently the same DRM is also enforced in the Apple Vision Pro as MrWhoseTheBoss discovered in his review. Except in that case, Apple's DRM pipeline extends all the way up to your eyeballs instead of your HDMI TV.

This is not mutually exclusive. Being evil makes it easier to succumb to Putin demands.
I don’t recall Apple unpublishing my AIR apps. One of mine was among the first secretly submitted before Adobe revealed the feature publicly. However, I definitely remember after Apple added the new clause, when I needed to submit updates, those were stuck in approval limbo for many, many months. Then, suddenly, they all got approved in a flurry and there was never an issue again.

Adobe AIR is actually still available today (now maintained by Harman through an agreement with Adobe), and it can still compile native iOS apps that can be submitted to the App Store. This feature was never removed, and is still maintained to be compatible with new iPhones.
From the outside, in my opinion, this reads as a strong signal that the rank and file Mozilla staffers are generally disempowered. I like to assume that if this was floated at an all-hands that it would have resulted in some strongly voiced objections. Until the leadership at Mozilla changes there remains a reason to distrust Mozilla.
If there’s a financial incentive involved I think it’s perfectly reasonable to incline towards malice.
What do you think about Rust for Rustaceans? I read it and there are very niche and useful information there about Rust that I didn't see anywhere. It's a solid book but for a book about programming there are so few real code examples that it can come off dry. I just bought Rust atomic and locks and it seems exercise based, so I'm excited to finish it. The first chapter seems promising
At least here in Finland, it’s becoming more and more common for houses to use this kind of energy. I’ve even noticed a few isolated apartment blocks using it. Finland obviously requires a lot of heat, and it seems that everyone I know who uses it is happy, so it’s certainly interesting technology.
Your responses are interesting because they drive me to feel reinforced about my opinion. This conversation is precisely why I rate 4.5 over o1 pro. I prompted in a very very very specific way. I'm afraid to say your comments are highly disengaged for the realities of business and business building. Appreciate the historical context and recommended reading (although I assure you, I am extremely well versed). The term 'operationalized' here refers to strategic alignment, not Taylorist quantification, think guiding principles over rigid metrics. You are badly conflating operationalization in social sciences (which is about measurement) with strategic operationalization in management, which is not same. Again: operationalized in this context means making the mission actionable at a strategic level, not about quantification. Modern mission frameworks prioritize adaptability within durable purpose, avoiding the pitfalls you’ve rightly flagged. Successful founders don't get caught in these theoretical distinctions. Founders taught be my, and I guess GPT 4.5, understand correctly, mission as the bridge between aspirational vision and practical action. This isn't "Greater Taylorism" but pragmatic leadership. While your historical references (NUMMI, not NUMII) demonstrate academic knowledge, they miss how effective missions actually guide organizations while remaining adaptable. The 4.5 response captured this practical reality well- it pointed to but it not create artificial boundaries between interconnected concepts. If we had some founders trained by you (o1 Pro) and me (Gpt 4.5) - I would be willing to bet my founders would out preform yours any day of the week.
When the deserializing half of the protobuf definitions encounter an unknown value, it gets deserialized as the zero value. When that client updates, it will then be able to deserialize the new value appropriately (in this case, "Mint"). The advice on that page also specifies to not make the value semantically meaningful, which I take to mean to never set it to that value explicitly.

6% of chargebacks are due to dissatisfaction [1].

I’m talking about Mozilla.

Not how chargebacks work. And Amex isn’t taking a six-figure hit for anyone.

If you’re a porn site, casino or non-profit you’re almost never winning a chargeback dispute. (Merchants only win about a fifth of the time in general.)

Never beating the insecurity allegations are you? I don’t know what I did to trigger you but this whole conversation is really sad. The “Reddit level insult” projection is extra sad since I come to this site over Reddit to get away from people like you.

In my personal life I have a lot of health issues (mostly autoimmune diseases) that cause me a lot of pain through out the day. It’s inescapable too so its really hard to cope. Sometimes it’s tolerable other times I’m in a black hole of pain and suffering. But it’s actually heart warming to know despite all my struggles that I’ll never be even half as lonely and miserable as you.

Seriously, grow up.

What do people find works better as a string enum replacement?

const Thing {
one: “one”,
two: “two”,
three: “three”
} as const

Or just

type Thing = “one” | “two” | “three”

I’ve been thinking of getting rid of the simple string enums I have but it’s not clear to me why one is preferred over the other by people.

What advantage are you speaking of?

Do you realize that for example China trying to have access to Ports and Military bases is massive endeavor. For example, Russia losing Syria and its ports and airbases is one of the biggest blunders in modern History.

Yet you have the idea that US power projection and getting free access to bases and ports is being a "chump being taken advantage of"!

It's not the other side of the table, it's ignorance. You can make the case that it isn't valuable, but Russia and China sure as hell are trying hard to get these perks, and they will fill the void.
In my experience, Chromium can feel somewhat faster when you keep a low number of open tabs. It doesn't deal with many tabs as well as Firefox though.

That said, these days I only use Chromium occasionally, so this could have changed over the least few years.
The difference to the company is that if you don't force people to take on $30,000 in expenses, you'll be able to find people willing to work for up to $30,000 less in compensation. In addition to the other benefits of expanding the talent pool beyond the local geographic area, which might let you get better people, e.g. because you can hire someone in Boston who wants to stay in Boston, without opening an office there.
The only thing Discourse said was "This site is in read-only mode because there are overdue hosting payments". It's a system message that's automatically shown when the customer forgets to pay their bills.

The drama comes from Mozilla's nonpayment, not Discourse's policy. Weird to try to pin the blame on Discourse.

"Or I can be rigorous and not make data points up in my head to fit some worldview."

It seems clear to me that you're sticking your head in the sand, not me. I'm believing the thing that is dangerous to believe, not you. I believe it because it's obviously true.

"actual hard data" would be best. It would be best if we just had board scores split by race. But we don't. We do, however, have lots of other information that makes it very, very clear that there will be significant disparities by race in USMLE boards in pretty much exactly the same pattern we see in MCAT scores.

Here's the meat of it, you can look to the other comments here for the potatoes:

This: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00904... Suggests MEDIAN USMLE step 1 scores for White, Asian, Hispanic/Latino, and Black applicants were 242, 242, 237, and 232. It's urology specific, and practice specific, though.

This: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/hsr2.161 Says The mean (±SD) USMLE step 1 score was significantly greater among non-[Black or Hispanic] applicants as compared to URiM applicants (223.7 ± 19.4 vs 216.1 ± 18.4, P < .01, two-sample t-test). This is at a specific medical school.

...and this is just the result of a casual search.

The people who are best at this sort of thing are economists. They are trained to do causal inference based on patchy, far-from-perfect data. It's totally normal to come to a conclusion (even a very strong one!) using a "patchwork of studies". That's just life. You don't usually get "actual hard data". It's very clear what the pattern in the USMLE data would look like. I bet the effect size would be a little attenuated.

Your epistemic stance, which seems to be "Well we don't have perfect, incontrovertible proof, which means we must act like we don't know anything at all!" is unworkable. You don't do this, I don't do this, the world doesn't permit of this. As a rhetorical move, I can see where you're coming from. It gives you license to not think about the hard thing, and to punish those around you who might. But I'd argue that's not a way forward for us as a whole.
Wait a minute... Did Mozilla sign an agreement with some AI model company like OpenAI or Anthropic to "help" their hapless users (for revenue like they did with Google and search)?

If so, Tsst. Bad Mozzila! No!

Seriously though, that would be a huge mistake for a supposedly free software company. Especially when people are realizing the "meh" of the value added with most applications of LLMs.

You need to retool the corporation, the way the company is organized, and retrain the workforce for the new way building.
In addition you have to pull that of, while still keep the light on, for what you already have.
It will be much easier for someone starting from scratch.
What’s the end goal here though?
I’ve worked on systems which where the set of enum values was fixed at any particular point in time, but could change over time as business requirements changed.

For instance, we had an enum that represented a sport that we supported. Initially we supported some sports (say FOOTBALL and ICE_HOCKEY), and over time we added support for other sports, so the enum had to be expanded.

Unfortunately this always required the entire estate to be redeployed. Thankfully this didn’t happen often.

At great expense, we eventually converted this and other enums to “open-ended” enums (essentially Strings with a bit more structure around them, so that you could operate on them as if they were “real” enums). This made upgrades significantly easier.

Now, whether those things should have been enums in the first place is open for debate. But that decision had been made long before I joined the team.

Another example is gender. Initially an enum might represent MALE, FEMALE, UNKNOWN. But over time you might decide you have need for other values: PREFER_NOT_TO_SAY, OTHER, etc.
`git log --graph` without `--oneline` is pretty hard to follow — that's not what I use, and it's not what I suggested.

With `--oneline`, it's not perfect but it's good enough to be useful — and by working within the constraints of the CLI, I didn't have to tell people to install software to get my point across.

And I already spoke approvingly of Gitlab's GUI for graph representation! I don't disapprove of GUIs; I use them all the time (particularly Github's). One you grok the data structures that underlie Git, you wind up seeing front ends as interchangeable.
I forgot the details, but I think I saw a YouTube upload of a streamer who wrote flappy bird into super Mario by like… jumping at apples at specific times. Or some weird thing like that lol. I’ll try to find it later on my computer
The problem with "just use literal strings/numbers" is that that's exactly the opposite of type safe. With them it is impossible to specify an argument of type `myenum | number | string`, despite that being commonly desired in some form.

When targeting javascript, it seems to me that the obvious approach is to use symbols for enums. But symbols have a lot of WET.

(of course, typescript's safety is unfixably broken in numerous other ways, so why bother?)
Why do people say Rust follows the tradition of C++? Rust follows very different design decisions than C++ like a different approach to backwards compatibility, it does not tack on one feature on top of another, it is memory safe etc that are very different from C++. If you are just comparing the size of language, there are other complex languages out there like D, Ada etc

> consider a chargeback

Chargebacks can’t be filed for every grievance. There is a specific list of circumstances that might qualify for chargebacks. I would seriously doubt that making a donation and then having the organization introduce new policies later would qualify under most agreements.

Frivolous chargebacks are not without consequence. One probably wouldn’t cause any obvious problems but if someone develops a pattern of weaponizing the chargeback system for other than the intended purpose (non-delivery of goods, product not as advertised and returns not accepted, etc) then the card issuer can drop the customer. Chargebacks are expensive for them and false chargebacks make you a risky, money-losing customer.
And some vulnerability researchers are just prosecution speedrunners!
Retro cool, fairly sturdy packaging, doesn’t take up much space.

All things that MiniDisc took inspiration from. It added metadata, near-infinite rerecordability, and on-the-fly track division, combination, and rearrangement.

To be fair the basic ASCII keyboard is also default in US/Britain. And most people assume that's all they get.

I have always used the "international" version of the US English keyboard on Linux.

And I can enter all common symbols pressing altgr or altgr-shift. I also use right Ctrl as a compose key fore more. I would be hard pressed remembering what combo to press, after years it's just muscle memory.

But how do you find out what layout and what compose key does what? Good luck. It's as documented as gesture and hidden menus on iOS and MacOS. sigh.
Family members of mine at the VP/EVP level in “enterprise” type companies regularly work 12+ hours on weekdays and ~8 per day on weekends.

What do they do in all those hours?

My only experience with executives is the CEO at a "startup" (it really wasn't) in SF. He had to have his email password reset every week because he couldn't remember it. He was furious that asses weren't in all the seats at 9am, but he knocked off at 3pm on Fridays to go drink with his executive chums. I never saw any sign of leadership, vision, or actual work. Just demands on others.
Thanks. Some day I will have the courage to try. Until then Erowid
> How come it is in demand?

Because it's a complicated language for building extremely low level things, when you have no other choice. IMO it's not the right tool for high level stuff (even though it does have some stuff which higher level languages should probably borrow).

The only other language that directly competes with Rust IMO is C++, which is equally full of symbol soup.
2008 article on deep geothermal power plant.[1]
2016 article on shutdown of plant.[2] "The technology worked but unfortunately the cost of implementing the technology and also the cost of delivering the electricity that was produced to a market was just greater than the revenue stream that we could create."

There's a group called DEEP which is trying to combine deep geothermal with fracking technology, to get better heat transfer. This creates small earthquakes as a side effect. They're working on that.[3]

A startup called FERVO is still trying.[4]

Shallow geothermal for building heat works fine, but it takes a lot of drilling just to get some heat.

So far, nobody seems to have a profitable deep geothermal power operation.

Once performance starts to matter (either due to scale or time requirements) abstractions always have tradeoffs you can't accept.
I don't know how important it is to bad use of the values directly, but that is also possible.

You have to intersect every value with a brand, like:

type Enum<T> = {
[K in keyof T]: T[K] & {__brand: never};
}

const _Foo = {
one: '1',
two: '2',
three: '3'
} as const;
const Foo = _Foo as Enum<typeof _Foo>;
type Foo = ValueOf<typeof Foo>;

And now, this will work:

doSomething(Foo.two);

But this will error:

doSomething('2');
