I suppose the good news is that there’s no report that this is malicious and it’s all just assumptions. That makes me happier than if there was some intentional shutdown.

Brave as a browser sucks !!!
Most sites dont load on it
Most sites appear blank brave cannot render unless repeatedly refresh like in 90s
Even with 60 tabs opened in android it lags as hell, both opening and switching tabs takes 30s to 1min or more

No reliability over sync, lost my bookmarks many time
cannot easily run bookmarklets

and much more

I've long figured the essential knot at the bottom of this is: Do you agree with Land that intelligence and capitalism are in some sense "the same thing"?

I've tried untangling this knot and ultimately had to accept I have better things to do with my time. But it's an interesting parallel. Capitalism appears to be the emergent system of many independent agents engaging in voluntary trades; maybe intelligence is the emergent system of many independent ideas trying to interact in the same way. "Fire together, wire together" and all that.

And, perhaps much like capitalism as it actually exists today, if ideas can't interact productively enough to pay their keep, perhaps they just eventually die out. I don't see a whole lot of e.g. Set or Horus worshippers these days, for example.
Jeff exists in a space that is dominated by people playing the algorithm for views, and has remained successful without having to engage in the same tactics. I really appreciate his video style and approach, it’s a breath of fresh air in the current tech YouTube sphere.
I'm still using my Moto X4 from 2017 thanks to LineageOS. I recommended Moto G7 phones for my mom and brother. They've moved on and I've reflashed them with LineageOS. But while I was doing so, I was disappointed that there's not support for more recent Motos in Lineage.

Nice video, thanks for sharing.

And just to clarify to GP, the original dust was not in the same plane and the video explains why it ends up in the same plane.
> If the point of DOGE is really to tackle the deficit, all these moves are incredibly shortsighted.

The point is to shutter or kneecap every last government service. When it becomes obvious which services were/are mission critical, they'll be replaced with private solutions -- most of which will conveniently be on offer from X.
and it's not like private industry is going to do this work, there's no profit in such services, at least not short term

AND if they are doing this to NIH, imagine what they are doing to food and drug inspection for safety

just assume all regulation is gone or being ignored without penalty, now scale that out for four years

It's definitively different than Frunk, the library is not a general-purpose functional toolkit. One could certainly implement it with Zig's compile-time reflection with ease (don't know much about D). Actually, it's superficially similar to refl-cpp's serialization example [1], but with far less templating magic underneath due to the restricted scope.

Pubmed is running. (Thankfully as it is one of the building blocks of science)
They were not shut down.

Confirm yourself using:

Which, reasonably, significantly reduces your resolution.
Shame really - his is the best in depth aviation accident channel on YouTube, and he is the real deal.
Brave's entire business model is pretty explicitly about selling your data for targeted advertisements. I find it unreasonable to even suggest Brave as an alternative if your concern with Mozilla is the "selling your data" language.

Also re MitM'ing for crypto mining: I was never in favor of pushing Brendan out of Mozilla for being a supposed right-wing nut, but I am not surprised either to see that, given free reign, he _is_ a right-wing nut.
It is just people being used to efficiency and interface improved over years to be ergonomic for users.

OS-X is surprising because there is a lot of marketing pretending that it is the most ergonomic when it is in fact the worst, and mostly it does not really improve other time.

I’ll repeat my comment from yesterday on another Firefox thread:

In terms of open source there are really only Chromium- and Firefox-derived browsers (I’m disregarding projects like the still pre-alpha Ladybird here). With Chromium browsers, you’re still subject to Google’s whims in the long term, such as removal of V3 extension support. (I.e. a conceivable fork with V3 compatibility will inevitably become too difficult to keep up to date with the mainline.) If Mozilla dies, Firefox and derivatives will in all likelihood wither away as well. IMO there is no alternative to supporting Mozilla, and also keeping them accountable and criticizing them where criticism is due. They are still roughly the good guys, even if sometimes misguided.

The topic of Firefox and ads is nothing new:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36351322

https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/improving-online-adverti...

One alternative recommended by the present article, Brave, is dabbling in ads as well: https://brave.com/brave-ads/
As if that is any better, just as moronic as Fox.
> > which is mostly around privacy and not being Google.

> I don't understand why you're framing this as though those were mutually exclusive.

They... didn't? If you frame it "mostly around (privacy and not being Google)" and not "(mostly around privacy) and (not being Google)". But even the "and" doesn't seem exclusive to me.
helsing is already hiring for roles like that
I can recommend you to also use "Rectangle" app with that.
My first net connection was using slirp via a shell account. Slirp was a CSLIP emulator that ran in user space on the shell box on the remote side.

Back in those days multi user shell machines were quite common and some of the first ISPs offered Internet access that way.

Mine was an ISP called Internet Access Cincinnati that gave each user shell on a Sun Sparc 10 running SunOS (pre-Solaris). You also got POP e-mail and a -username home folder accessible via web.
I think people have become too divorced from the consequences of their actions. No one should be required to get a vaccine. But no one should be shielded from the consequences of choosing to not vaccinate their child. Children should be required to be vaccinated to attend public schooling. If someone is unvaccinated and ends up hospitalized, insurance should not cover the hospital stay. If a child dies from a disease because they were unvaccinated, the parents should be on the hook legally for negligence, the same way they might be if their child died due to other forms of parental neglect.

Make the people personally feel the cost they impose on society with their stupid decisions, and fewer people will make those stupid decisions.

Quietly? "Owning the libs" is their whole identity.
Congrats to the FireFly team, this is an amazing achievement.

Video of the earth rising from the horizon reminded me of Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot speech.

Any opensource libraries in that satellite's tech stack will now get to brag about "our code running on the moon" :) I wonder if FireFly team has used AI coding tools in any part of their development process.
I was going to suggest Ladybird, but it isn't released yet :)
> How Does MV3 Affect uBlock Origin?

> uBlock Origin relies heavily on the webRequest API to block unwanted content before it loads. Under MV3, the webRequest API is limited, and extensions are encouraged to use the new declarativeNetRequest API instead. This new API allows for predefined rules but lacks some of the dynamic capabilities that uBlock Origin utilizes for advanced content blocking.

Same for NoScript.
L1 in Chrome is now available if your hardware supports Playready SL3000, but if it is officially supported at this point rather than being a beta that nobody guarantees from build to build seems surprisingly undocumented.
I can at least point to what the US might expect with a defund Ukraine movement -- quickly have [1] hung around it's proverbial neck even if King Trump hasn't a clue.

Thus far apologists are generally writing off Trump's actions as actually an entirely brilliant scheme to settle things or some other nifty manipulation to come at the world's problems sideways and land a couple trick shots that will put the US on top.

As for the rest, all I can say is all the best and good luck, there will probably be more important or pertinent issues in a months time that will overshadow the present.

It looks like I'll be stuck with Firefox until a Servo browser or Ladybird matures...

Which unfortunately isn't anytime soon.
Just follow the money.

Mozilla's primary customer is Google.

All the executives and developers at Mozilla are being paid very well by Google. Ignoring this influence is to deny the economic reality that you live in and enables your own existence.

You might as well try to deny their TOS were just changed --- apparently in order to avoid liability for privacy claims that wouldn't withstand legal scrutiny.

My impression (based on two projects) is that Scala is snake oil.

(1) We were trying to parallelize an easily parallelizable task in Scala. Except it would only use a fraction of the CPUs available and didn't always give the right answer. In three days I was no closer to getting the Scala solution using all cores, I was able to do it in three minutes with Java Executor.

(2) I saw a somewhat larger code base that implemented a data processing pipeline. I was told by the eng manager that (a) we do code reviews and (b) we use monads for error handling. I guess we did, except it was the monad equivalent of

try { something() } catch(SomeException x) {}

most of the time which, once more, fits pattern of people writing exception handling code to silence the compiler.

In principle something like monads could let you implement more complex error handling strategies (like Lisp) but so long as "a monad is a like a burrito and a computation is like a graph", monads will be underpowered. Note you can use polymorphism for handling errors in Java too, for instance

interface FunctionThatThrows<In,Out,X> {
Out applies(In arg) throws X;
}

JDK8 streams could have done better with the tools it had.
Editing to remove an unproductive comment.
It is. Both GE and P&W newest generation of engines realized on the order of 20% efficiency gains over their previous products. They both cost in the billions / 10's of billions in r&d, which may sound doable, but realize that they were both starting off with organizations (engineers, facilities, decades of experience, etc.) built to do that. China has thrown 10's of billions and 10's of thousands of people at this problem and still hasn't cracked it after 10ish years.
Scene pirates complain quite a lot that they frequently do not have access to day one Netflix UHD releases and they have to burn hardware keys to do it every few months.
It’s the right mix of open source but with so many huge well resourced users that it’s in everyone’s interest to improve it. It’s like in this specific case the tragedy of the commons works backward.

We should study the social and economic dynamics and game theory of this and try to replicate it. Someone should do a whole game theory Ph.D thesis on Linux and how it manifests an un-tragedy of the commons.
A Platform Turn a Few Photos into Your Digital Twin
Hey HN,

I’m the founder of Iconig AI, and I wanted to share something fun we’ve been working on. Ever thought about having a digital twin? With just a couple of photos, our AI whips up a lifelike virtual you — ready for social media, campaigns, or whatever crazy idea you’ve got. It’s quick, simple, and honestly, kinda wild to see in action.

I’d love for you to give it a spin and let me know what you think! Could be a cool way to play with avatars or even kickstart something bigger. Thoughts? Feedback? I’m all ears.

Cheers,
Burak
TurboTax makes a lot of profit. This a perfect example of what should be a government service being privatized. That model will be replicated.

I am a huge Rust fan and I work with Rust at my job.

I also recently started some open source projects (mostly CLI tools) where I picked Go for one reason: Rust’s learning curve is super steep.

In order to make my projects approachable for other developers Go seemed to be a better choice over Rust.

I think that's a tad idealistic, though. You'd need the resources to keep fighting against the constant changes and ever diverging codebase the more Google goes it's own way. And already has been doing it slowly.
Also, Mozilla and Apple have been important for keeping privacy relevant every time Google have tried to push for some privacy eroding web standards.

Edit: I agree with the sentiment though but I just trust the current situation more.

Yes. As noted elsewhere in this thread, they still respond to TCP requests. I did not know this at the time of writing.
Expedited removal is part of their existing authority to deal with fraud and misrepresentation with visa entry requirements.
It only requires a few hours to process and results in a five year ban from the United States as a deterrent. Detaining someone indefinitely under these specific circumstances is not something that happens in France and Germany. And until now wasn’t something that was happening in the United States.

Is this really true? Because it is my instinctual belief for staying on internet too much, but when i think about who i've met there, i don't think it's true (well, most of them were hippies and back-to-lander, the few who had a job worked in natural parks or as musicians, so maybe i did not meet the average USian)

Anyone who actually thought Trump wasn't going to let Heritage Foundation people take over substantial control of government should take a long hard look at their sources of information, internal biases, and critical thinking capability.

She tried to enter the USA from Tijuana. From what I read, they are extra strict at the land border to Mexico. General advice to tourists that I read is to not to enter the USA from there.

You do realize that Germany is not allowed to do any uranium enrichment or waste processing? All of this was outsourced, partially to France, but primarily to Russia.

> Jupyter Notebooks

Well said. My favorite is the notebook that can only get into the state of interest by executing the cells out of order, and skipping the ones with syntax errors. Jupyter is fine for messing around with data, but saving a notebook is a bad idea and sharing one is a terrible idea. The fact that there are software delivery workflows built around Jupyter notebooks is just sheer lunacy.
I've often wondered about this; are there studies/tests to this effect anywhere that you can link?

Indeed it should be. Thanks.
> Even though the warning itself links to a GitHub Gist that explains the issue and solutions quite well, searching the language of the warning will retrieve Reardon’s post and other solutions before the linked Gist from the React team.

Seems like even if you give people a link explaining how to solve the underlying problem, some of them will still just search for the warning text and apply the simplest tweak that will silence it, even if it doesn't solve the problem.

My takeaway is that the official guide for dealing with a warning or error needs to contain the message text verbatim so that a web search has better chances of finding it.

Also, it appears that the React team has given up on educating their users https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/26395 so now all those workarounds are extra pointless.
For the longest time, I didn't get it either. It took me actually trying it out in a project to like it. It's true, much of it is the same as writing inline-styles, but it's also more powerful than that. Here's a few things that I like about it:

- Ability to use pseudo-selectors, etc. in "inline-styles"

- Limited set of predefined values to use for padding, margin, and such that make it a bit easier to stay consistent

- Some helpful utilities like good looking shadows and animations

Sure, I could achieve all of that in a different way. Nothing about it is ground-breaking or even unique, but it's a nice package that works well for me.
Some of us are still Marxists, you know ;)

Reflect on What You've Achieved as a Programmer
Programming is more than just a hobby or a creative outlet—it’s a powerful skill that empowers us to solve problems, build solutions, and create value. Whether you code for fun, for work, or as a way to bring your ideas to life, there’s no denying the sense of accomplishment that comes from overcoming challenges and seeing your projects come to fruition.

Think about the wins you’ve had along the way. Maybe you’ve developed an app that simplifies someone’s daily routine, optimized a system to save time and resources, or even landed a job or freelance opportunity thanks to your coding expertise. These are the moments that remind us why we love programming and why it’s such a rewarding journey.

So, let’s celebrate those victories together! Share in the comments: What are the achievements you’re most proud of as a programmer? Whether it’s a big project, a small but meaningful fix, or a personal milestone, we’d love to hear your story.

It's just loud about it in public now instead of behind the doors of political machinery.
