It's not terrible, it just has a lot of fluff that you don't really need or want in an API call like chunked transfer encoding, request pipelining, redirect responses, mime encoding, content type negotiation, etc. Of course, you can just ignore all that stuff and either a) implement a stripped down, incomplete HTTP-ish protocol that has just the parts you need or b) use a full-blown HTTP implementation like nginx like most people do. The problem with (b) is when nginx suddenly starts behaving like an actual web server and you have to troubleshoot why it's now barfing on some UTF-16 encoding.

Is not dumb, is just way harder than what it seems. Is kind of like, when the price is going “up” it almost never is going up the same way. What happened before? has the market been more volatile? was there a gap in price the night before? how has the week/month been? are there any external factors (upcoming fed announcement, news, tariffs, etc.) is current “going up” a continuation of something? How fast (momentum)? How “hesitant” (volatility vs clearer directional movement)…

When one starts thinking about how to look at all those factors and when one starts thinking about how to measure those factors (what is volatility? What high or low? Compared to what baseline? Does the baseline move?) it becomes clear that the problem is a bit more complicated to measure and implement in code than it is to train oneself and trade discretionary.

With very fast execution (think server collocation on the exchange and direct fiber network access to the exchange server) the possibility of market making opens, I think of the things that Jane Street does, and look how crazy profitable they are. But very few people have access to that.
You are kind of answering your own question here...
Thanks didn't know, thought Waterfox etc. were just a new UI on top of Firefox rendering/HTTP/HTTPS/etc. engine and were depending on Firefox development. Didn't know they were forks like the Redis forks for example. Will take another look.

Also, I was only using Karabiner for caps remapping and was able to satisfactorily replace it with this type of built-in hidutil call: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43203239 -- remaps to F19, which I use as a hyper modal in hammerspoon. Works well, and I was happy to let go of Karabiner given how deeply it has to dig into the OS, and I wasn't using any of its more powerful features anyway.
> Rust comes with all the systems programming overhead, which in my opinion is not a good bargain if you are not, you know, programming systems. Alas, I’m too old to pick up my own garbage.

Granted, I'm a systems programmer, but I find the difference between Rust's memory model and a managed memory model (like C#'s) not very big. The only difference is that it's trivial to leak resources in C#, and it's very hard to leak resources in Rust.

Happy to get recommendations of a language that has both a GC or similar managed memory model, and also can manage all other resources the same way.

What Rust does right is what C++ tried to do; RAII. Memory is a resource, file- and socket-streams are resources, mutexes are resources, and they are all handled via the same principle that we all know and intuitively understand: Scopes. By extension, reference counting enables doing an AND of all the scopes.

I have never found that to be more mental overhead than, say, python, C#, or Golang, where forgetting to close a file, or forgetting to call Dispose(), or doing it twice by accident, or using mutexes, is a common source of nasty bugs. Extend this to the concurrency model Rust has, where both threads and async can be used, and all the resource management and borrowing just cleanly extends to that to avoid concurrency bugs, and you have unparalleled resource management.
Well, Google TV provides the software, Dixon is a known contract manufacturer of appliances and Amazon provides the customers. So, I am wondering what value they are going to add.
Click-baity title considering that this index only started in 2006 and has fluctuated little since. "Global democracy" seems to be going well on any non trivially short period of time (i.e. look at a world map now vs. during the cold war period).

In addition:
"France’s score fell just below the 8.00 threshold to qualify as a “full democracy” because of a decline in its score for functioning of government. Therefore, France was downgraded from a ‘full democracy’ to a “flawed democracy” in 2024."

A little ironic considering this is due to democratic elections in which the people could not agree on a majority... So perhaps this index has to be taken with a grain of salt.
Some thought:

Everyone who sells a piece of software should send the full source code to an offline depository (e.g. offline tapes or disks), and will be published after X years of sales.

Of course this is just my daydream.
This requires a proper alternative to continue to exist. Firefox users already have to make a lot of concessions(i know, i'm one of them). With how Mozilla management is running, we're at risk of the only real alternative being mismanaged into oblivion.
One of the biggest things that always bothers me in sci-fi, even harder sci-fi like The Expanse, is the missing heat sinks. All those ships would need massive radiators or they’d melt.

Their last message says it all:

> We’ve seen a little confusion about the language regarding licenses

The text is confusing on purpose and mixes Firefox, the Mozilla Services (Sync maybe? That's it?), AI, and their new AD-platform (without mentioning the last two). And why are they talking about a license when it's a ToS? Everything is confusing about it, even their answers.

> to allow us to make some of the basic functionality of Firefox possible

The very same thing they did for more than 20 year without such a ToS? Why now? I think it's about AI and ads but I'm sure they are smarter than me and will explain everything in precise details to clear up such a "big confusion."

> we couldn’t use information typed into Firefox to perform your searches

That's a fucking lie of course. They did that last year without any issue. You can get the text from the search box (like mSearchBox->getText() in C++, wow I'm a Mozilla engineer), and put that in the URL of my favorite search engine as part of the query.

> or a right to use it for anything other than what is described in the Privacy Notice

I don't care about the ownership, I want to know why, why now, and I want them to explain all the details that definitely do NOT appear in their Privacy Notice.

My conclusion is that they are moving away from Firefox for some reason, they pretended to fire the last CEO which keeps on working on the AI, and they want a lot of information like everyone else which is difficult when you're supposed to be the open-source knight of privacy.

But I'm only typing that because I am bitter and have already moved on. They fucked with us too many times, I don't care anymore even if the only alternative left was Links.
It sucks if you are non-profit working on subjects like drug abuse. Or anything that is considered "difficult" for our ad-overlords and thus all the relevant keywords are against ToS.
Ah to clarify I was not saying one shouldn’t try it at all — I was saying the free trail is plenty enough to see if it would be worth it to you.

I read the original comment as “pay $100 and just go for it!” which didn’t seem like the right way to do it. Other comments seem to indicate there are $100 dollars worth of credits that are claimable perhaps

One can evaluate LLMs sufficiently with the free trails that abound :) and indeed one may find them worth it to themselves. I don’t disparage anyone who signs up for the plans
> Apple Spotlight is and always has been lightyears ahead of whatever garbage Microsoft use on Windows.

I certainly agree on that, and I also find it more convenient than the desktop search options I’ve tried on Linux (there I usually drop to the command line to search).

But despite really wanting to like Spotlight, e.g. its integration with Apple Mail with email previews is great, I find it unusable for heavy work. I’ve tried customizing it to disable lots of search backends that I don’t need, but still for reasons I don’t understand, it sometimes takes 5+ seconds to process my search results before showing anything, and even the average search often takes a second and is not well-sorted.

In comparison, Alfred is always instant at searching on my computer, and I really prefer how you can explicitly tell it what you are searching for (e.g. `'filename`, `in file contents`, `=math`, etc.) whereas Spotlight tries to guess this and often guesses wrong. It’s also easier to customize if you want to integrate e.g. specific web searches in it.

I’ve tried Raycast since lots of people praise it, but I still find Alfred to have a nicer and more responsive interface, but perhaps it’s just what I’m used to.
Most research that is pointed towards important things does get funding from NIH. Most research fails. NIH has a bucket of money for every major issue facing the population. Just takes a few PhD's and a hypothesis to write a proposal.
I keep telling coders to switch to being 1-person enterprise shops instead, but they don't listen. They will learn the hard way when they suddenly find themselves without a job due to AI having taken it away. As for what enterprise, use your imagination without bias from coding.
This format is terrible for working with line-based tools; you need to go an unknown number of lines back to get the date or the time.

Although, TBH, the OP's suggestion of one-line-per-day puts too many items on the same ling. I would have gone with one line per event. Yes, there's more repetition, but you need no out-of-line context, you have to do a lot less parsing, and you can look at a fixed number of _columns_ and get the beginning of the description of each event, which is nicer for manual searching.
I recommend Alfred to replace Finder, Divvy for window management, iTerm2 for terminal, and homebrew to manage CLI utils.

This combination has served me well for many years.

I never used Waterfox but Librewolf seems to have more stricts settings, whereas people describe Waterfox as being closer to Firefox.

Librewolf has sensible but annoying default settings that you have to change. For example, cookies are deleted when quitting, or you can't have night mode out of the box since it could be a privacy issue. IMHO it's a cleaner Firefox and I enjoy it so far.
Show HN: Komihåg – Learn and remember things you read
Hi HN, I’m Colin and I’m building Komihåg (https://komihag.com/), to make it as easy as possible to remember things you read.

Just select any text on your iOS device and share the selection with the app, this will transform the shared text into a Q&A flashcard using LLMs. You can then scroll through your decks of cards in the app, or create a widget that displays your cards continuously.

I got the idea while reading machine learning books. Sure I could create Kindle bookmarks or copy paste interesting parts, but I noticed that I never really took the time to revisit them, so adding an iOS widget with the things I want to learn and that inevitably reaches my eyes many times per day seemed like a good idea.

The app is build with SwiftUI, using Supabase for authentication and storage.

The app is pretty bare bones at the moment, some ideas I have for improvement are:
- Scheduling for the widget. E.g. show new card every 5 minutes.
- Lookscreen widget / Watch widget. These cannot be interactive (I think), so I would have to reformulate the Q&A pair into a combined statement.

Let me know if you think the concept is interesting enough to continue working on.

> Disclaimer: I have not beaten ante 11 yet. I can get a couple million points with my strategy, but 7+ million is too difficult. I don't see an easy path to naneinf (not a typo). I guess I'll need to give up and watch some YouTube guides as some point.

It took me a bit too, but now I'm up to 15 (it starts getting exponentially harder around 12). And finally started seeing "e"s in my scores (highest is 2.799e15)

At first, I used the deck taht would give doubles when you skipped a blind. I'd save those up until yuo can get a negative joker when skipped and would end up with like 12 jokers.

Now, I use the plasma deck for high scoring. It's weird since you focus on points instead of mult, but the scores get higher much quicker.

Another tip is to try and shape your deck as early as possible. Going for a deck of Kings and Queens is good because of the rare joker gives that 2x for them.

Because either apple is too stringent or the obsidian devs are too lazy, I see this this as a better alternative to not being able to sync your files on an ios device with your sync tool of choice. Right now the only two ways to sync your obsidian notebook on an iphone or ipad is to use icloud or obsidian's paid service. icloud falls short when your ipad is your only apple device, and I already have syncing across every other device with a different cloud service.
Pocket and the other Mozilla services fund Mozilla, not Firefox directly. My company uses Firefox professionally and we'd buy per-seat enterprise licences if they existed, iff they funded Firefox development.

We have no interest in funding Mozilla, whose manifesto barely mentions Firefox and who has now decided that AI is their focus.

ill tell you a funny, in January I gave my old boss (who passionately hates technology) my text file and told him he only forgot to pay two days in the (hectic) year. (I make one txt per year) It listed what work was done and with who.

His response was WOAH, I've always wanted this! He then send the whole thing to the printer and put it on the wall in his office. Then he added arrows to the days he forgot to pay using a ballpoint pen. He talked a bit about periods in the year and used his finger as a pointing device.

The only place the The Hill article mentions bisexuals is in the macro expansion of LGBTQ. If it has a correct explanation, then surely only by accident, not as the result of careful analysis.

However, your third point is a bit breathless. They aren't expelling anyone based on ethnicity. They want to deport illegal aliens. It isn't their fault so many of those aliens are from one country. The Nazis were expelling and killing Jews that had been in Europe for centuries lawfully. And, yknow, the whole killing them thing! The human experiments. The slave labour camps.

You are forgetting that fascist regimes go to war with their neighbours for territory, ignore the law, suspend democracy and have secret police to enforce political orthodoxy. Trump is an isolationist and he hasn't done any of the rest, yet at least.

Also don't forget that for all the stick Trump gets about immigration, all the Democratic presidents I can remember claim that they want to control the border too, and claim they can do so better. Hardly illustrative of fascism...

"DNS-level blocking will not block the sponsored links in Google's Search". It's true i see the weblink in Google results, but you can't click them.

"or the ads on YouTube" i use other methods for that on Firefox.

"I guess it depends on why we're ad-blocking." I do not need any reason to block or allow any form of communication on my own infrastructure. I get to decide what connects to it and what comes in and gets out of it. I am fully aware some info will always get passed because otherwise i cannot consume the things i want to consume.

"So, DNS-level blocking is just not enough, unless you're happy that you're at least blocking some ads on the scum of the Internet, but then I'm personally not interested in those websites anyway."

So far my list of 5 million blocked sites serves me quite well in pihole.

I think something is wrong with your Spotlight index if it takes that long. Recently something went a bit funny with my Spotlight that made it take as long as you're describing, but after a reboot it's pretty instantaneous as usual. I work with large numbers of files (tens of thousands per project, with about 40-50 projects) so I don't think it can be that. I'm pretty sure there are ways to rebuild your Spotlight index.

I haven't come across issues with ordering, but my use cases are usually pretty simple, so that might be down to a difference in our workflows.

This is nonsense, obviously the problem with getting "data under the table" is that they may have used it to training their models, thus rendering the benchmarks invalid. But for this danger, there is no other risk for them having access to it beforehand. We do not know if they used it for training, but the only reassurance being some "verbal agreement", as is reported, is not very reassuring. People are free to adjust their P(model_capabilities|frontiermath_results) based on their own priors.
Antibiotics are widely available in the US. The claim I was responding to was that taking away this funding risked harm to the US, specifically.
But that’s really only viable if you have a very small number of devices and those devices only have one user. Let’s say you have a family of 4, each with smart phones, two tablets, three computers, each with myltiple user accounts… setting DNS on each individually becomes extremely cumbersome. Not to mention all the other connected devices that want to throw ads at you these days, TVs gaming systems, etc. And god help you if you’ve invested in any kind of crazy connected thing like a fridge with a screen on it, setting device level DNS there might be so obfuscated t’s not possible.

Point is that using any kind of DNS based blocking is far better at the router level but the above poster is right in that a lot of ISPs these days make it impossible to adjust your router level DNS and even for someone tech minded setting up some kind of downstream secondary router can be become so convoluted that they just give up.
