I still hold a grudge against Adobe for killing the Mac version of FrameMaker and not releasing an OS X version. I used it for everything. It was even decent as an editor. In comparison, MS Publisher seemed like a toy program.
In practice, not much if you're not writing your own filters or using the umatrix-like functionality. There's a few rules that can't be ported but these don't apply to most sites: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-as...

One massive upside is there's now a less comprehensive mode that doesn't allow the extension to view and edit the complete DOM of every page, which has actually made me comfortable enough to use it for regular browsing as opposed to just turning UBO on for certain sites.
Sad to see classic Microsoft applications that are actually loved shut down, only to be replaced by things like Windows 11, that are made to be maximally invasive and anti-user.

> Sun’s bootloader environment from that period was called OpenBoot, and consisted of a FORTH interpreter, from which you can interrogate the device tree and pretty much do whatever you want.

This sounds interesting. I have read quite a few FORTH posts on HN but never gave the thing a look. It is really different than anything I have looked at. For example, for functional languages I never got pass Scheme's ' symbol, but at least I get most of the syntax. FORTH really is another level.
China owns a lot of food generation overseas, so while they may "import" it, they effectively own it.
Nothing comes close to matching the underlying power of Visio shapesheets.
History has a way of repeating itself.

Sometimes I wonder if I am the only one who feels like world peace has been unraveling for decades, slowly reaching a breaking point?

I don't know what happens when the U.S. eventually pulls out of NATO, a scenario that seems more possible than ever based on the actions of the current Administration. Will Europe be able to stand its ground against Russia and China?

We now have world leaders armed with nuclear weapons, the most terrifying creations in human history, openly threatening each other and growing hostile.

I honestly, worry about the world we are creating for our children.. or perhaps my thoughts have been overtly influenced by Social Media..
I know you qualified it as "in theory", yet I find myself thinking of wash-trading as an example where transactional value is neutral or even very slightly negative, because they actually value manipulating the metrics.

It doesn't seem to be removed and the install button isn't grayed out when using Brave: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin/cjpal...
Headline is a little misleading. "Forcefully disabled" is more accurate. This happened to me for uBlock and dozens of other extensions.

The top comment on that Reddit thread has the answer:
"You can still enable it. Not supported is a lie. It still works. On the extensions page you have to select "Keep" and then reconfirm. Then scroll down to the extension and click the slider. Then reconfirm AGAIN and then it will work"
I feel the large spaces in the middle could instead be for a trackpad. One side only of course, the other would have keys up to the edge. I often long for the convenience of the inbuilt mac trackpad when I'm using an external bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. Unfortunately the edges and the location of the trackpad charging port make it not ideal.
You normally wouldn't forward open ports on your VM straight through your host and also through your LAN (or at least, I wouldn't), so that's not really a huge attack vector.

The main threat would be connecting to a malicious server that attacks some hypothetical hole in the TCP/TLS stack when you connect, but such servers aren't really omnipresent, and you can apply the usual measures of 'making regular backups' and 'not keeping extraordinarily sensitive data on a VM' to mitigate any impacts.

(Looking at actual historical holes, I find things like CVE-2005-0048, which requirs a malformed IP packet a modern router wouldn't pass through, and CVE-2007-0069 and CVE-2019-0708, which require a malicious incoming connection to a particular port. There's also stuff like https://www.forcepoint.com/sites/default/files/resources/fil..., but that's not really specific to XP services, and requires many stars to align unless you're running a vulnerable HTTP service.)
You are thinking of the 386. You perfectly describe the situation on the 386 not the 486.

The 386SX had a 16 bit external bus interface so it could work with 286 chipsets. The DX processors had a full 32 bit bus and correspondingly better throughput. The 386 never included an integrated FPU, you had to add a separate co-processor for that.
Never heard of this company but the website makes these products look very mature. How does it compare to Adobe?

It would be great to see someone like this make an alternative to Office as well. I’d be glad to pay. I know some open source options exist but they always feel behind the times to me compared to Office.
I've definitely seen this - managers reviewing or submitting code that was woefully unfinished. It forces the team to decide how much to push back against the person who decides if they get a raise in a way that's decidedly unfair. It also taints your perception among the team.

It's that old quote - better to keep silent and be thought possibly a fool than to speak and remove all doubt. If your job isn't primarily coding, and you parachute in to "help out" and end up making more work than you save, that burns a lot of goodwill that you can't really get back. You're not some junior dev that's going to get better with mentorship.

Nah, Microsoft makes good money from Visio licenses - I'm sure it more than pays for itself and helps keep the megacorps locked in. All of our org's corporate laptops come with Office but you can request Visio if you need it - the license cost gets charged back to your department.
Sure, in the sense that all events have 50% probability: either they happen or they don't.
Wealth generation has been growing exponentially for 200, 300 years. Maybe longer. Noting that people in the past had less wealth than today is hardly a point. Anything but the most jaw-droppingly stupid economic systems would have todays population being very wealthy compared to those of yesteryear. Even the experiments in authoritarianism and communism have managed that although they killed a lot of people along the way.

And I find it a bit of an eye roll that the minute the gold standard comes up all the "inequality is out of control now!" people fade into the background and the "back then, everyone was poor except the wealthy" arguments come to the fore. There is an inconsistency in the hive mind. This is a system where we print money and give it to the asset owners. It is visibly stupid.
As long as these dudes are rich, they will never care. They will always be able to leave, or hire significant personal security, and will never be at risk.

They are modern kapos, and they’d have happily sold every other Jew to the Germans in the 30s.
My only non-truvial tip about tmux is that the only thing that one needs to do is to look for help: Ctrl+B then '?', and then figure the rest out.

When I learnt tmux, I had to access multiple VMs which were de-facto ephemeral, which meant customization was not an option anyway. I kind of learnt to like the defaults as they are.
This. Thank you. I thought it was Visual Studio. It's been a while...! The games were a wretched mixture of C++, C and x86.

He was not calling for better statistics, he suggested to ignore statistics.

It was a simple case and actually I was not presenting a statistics I collected, I just suggested to try using some numerical evidence to chose a decision.

On another occasion I mentioned to somebody that it's necessary to chose drugs or medical approaches verified with medical trials and double blind method. And they replied that there is a book about how to lie with statistics and continued to consider unverified methods.

I mean that in real life sometimes very simple fallacies happan.

Some statistics-based deсisions may be wrong => right decision must avoid statistics.

These cases could probably be adressed with automated tools of the near future.
I feel like it should be mentioned that on the page that Chrome presents showing that the extension was removed they actively suggest installing UBO Lite. I'll leave it up to the reader to decide what that says about Google, but it's a pretty important detail that the original poster chose not to include.
> I cant work for someone who doesn't understand what I do.

Managers are responsible for maximizing what people they work with can achieve. This does not require them to be able to do what their team can do.

> I dont think a manager of software engineers needs to code the application he manages, but he should be continually coding something to remain sharp.

A counter to this is; a manager of software engineers needs to remove roadblocks impeding the success of the team.

Good managers enable their coworkers, micromanagers weigh in on or perform commits.
Is there a particular reason LibreWolf doesn't have automatic updates? It does seem a little inconvenient. I'm currently using Safari + AdGuard, which updates with the OS and from the App Store.
This is high and mighty, but didn’t they fire security team a year or so ago (couldn’t afford pay for higher ups)? I like how everyone just memory-holed that part and moved on… why would you recommend that to anyone?
During WW2 a lot of US propaganda was based around things like showing full store shelves stocked with cheap goods. The best sort of propaganda is the truth, because ultimately there's no argument against it beyond attacking the person who said it 'Blah! That's just filthy imperial capitalist propaganda!'

But the briefest glance at history (or the past few years) will emphasize that the 'good guys' don't always tell the truth and the 'bad guys' don't always lie. Such is the nature of war that in reality the person most likely to be telling the truth is the person winning, and the person most likely to be lying is the one that's losing. It's in large part for this reason that wars often end only years after they've been really decided, which ultimately achieves little beyond hurting the losing side even more.
The controversy was misinformation, and the parent post wasn't even what the controversy was. People thought FF had been doing it before. The reality is, as I understand, they just updated their terms to cover all possible legal issues - including that some things you command Firefox to do involves using your data.

With traditional cartridges the ink can dry out and clog the cartridge if you don't print regularly. My print work loads are very bursty, like I had to print 100 resumes to go to a career fair one time but this was after like 6 months of nothing. For this reason, I prefer laser printers. Furthermore, with permanently plumbed pipes, it sounds like it could ruin the whole printer instead of just a cartridge.

It is trivial to think about the differences. It is rational and harder to think about how they are the same horrific act.

Under your world at 18 every teenager can be immediately separated from their parents and taken to a suicide room where they have an option to choose between several different suicides each administrated by a professional who will guarantee a painless death. There's gas chamber, sharp shooter, decapitation and lethal injection. Every person the minute their 18 is offered this and forcefully walled off from their parents so their parents won't influence their individual freedom.

Additionally there should be public suicide rooms where a person can walk in of their own free will and be instantly gassed to death. One on every corner because freedom.

Imagine you had a depressed teenage son/daughter. He's depressed because his girlfriend just broke up with him. In several years he won't be depressed and he'll look back at his depression and see how stupid it was. But at 18 he has freedom, so I encourage him to go get his head blown off by a professional executioner. his parents were able to stop him at 17, but the minute he turns 18 they can't do shit and Now he's dead. Is this right? Is this total worship of individual freedom the correct thing to do?

If you're not thinking rationally, which you CLEARLY aren't then you would be incapable of seeing this nuance because it is the LOGICAL consequence of what you support.
Firefox is a less bad option, even with the recent stupid policy changes they've made.

Or there are a bunch of other options that care about privacy (see https://privacytests.org/). Brave, Librewolf, Arc, Zen, Orion (Kagi's thing). I tried Orion for a few days recently, but it started crashing randomly and felt unstable and slowed down after real-world use (3-6 windows, many many tabs, dev tools, etc).

I really wish there was more competition here from the smaller, privacy focused players...but the reality is building a browser is insanely difficult for the modern web.
I don’t love the scroll back on tmux.
I found I was often using it with emacs in one window and a shell in another. On the ocations where I needed huge scroll back I would use emacs in both and would M-X shell and have a whole output buffer with emacs’s almost endless scroll. Of course emacs shell isn’t great… but it’s searchable and savable.
Hmm, for Firefox on Android, the videos animate once and then stop, still-framed forever. Ditto in desktop mode. Weird.

Time to go over to a real computer I guess.
My takeaway from that was more "the world isn't that daunting, if you just do something consistently with effort, you're going to do a lot better than most people since most aren't putting much effort into it."

You don't have to do that with everything in life, but you can do that with the things you care about.

It could be actually practicing chess, it could be following a training plan while running, and it could be rising through the ranks at work.

I like cycling, and I know with a consistent routine I improve a lot more than my friends who just cycle on once or twice a week. I'm not trying to be better than them, I just really enjoy being a good cyclist.
I think this is kinda the best way. If you're a manger who used to code, do the sort of tedious tech debt stuff for your team. Update dependencies. Build small tooling improvements. Do the sort of stuff your devs probably want to do but have higher priority work that will get in the way. That's likely work that doesn't require you to have deep knowledge of how everything works, but still provides value.

If your project is complex enough that's not an option, then write onboarding docs and other technical stuff. IMO, the manager shouldn't be writing code much, but they should always keep a running version of the project. They should be able to run tests, confirm that PRs function locally, just keep a basic attachment to things.
But even in a world of only Bitcoin and no way to make alternate coins, all kinds of bad things are still possible, as there is no mechanism to prevent people from starting fractional reserve banking all over. The only way to prevent that is to somehow completely eliminate all trust from all economic activity. Without trust, breach of trust becomes trivially impossible.
Bad example. Linus is a genius.
Hi. Maybe anecdotal, Brother MDC-J480DW, had it about 3 years, always bought third party ink, two weeks ago I had to replace the color ones and it started saying there was no ink even though ink was clearly visible, it failed on two different colors from two different sources, and the three different black cartridges, then bought legit from Walmart and worked perfectly. I can’t speak for everyone’s experience, but mine was definitely changed recently to always say third party ink was empty, and I’ll junk it once this ink runs out.
uMatrix hasn't been updated in 4+ years, or is gorhill (or someone) distributing an updated version outside the addon stores?
Consumer spending was shattering records during the pandemic.

If consumer spending was dropping as prices were going up, then sure, greed. But prices were rising and consumers were relentless. Which is totally logical. Even more logical when the "spending class" was getting massive raises/offers and rock bottom credit.
There is no functional difference between chrome and Firefox. If you are at all dissatisfied with google it's trivial to switch. I don't think the analogy holds

Financial NLP with RL: 3B Model Outperforms Frontier Models
> Hard as it may be to imagine, there was a time when Java was brand new and exciting. Long before it became the vast clunky back-end leviathan it is today, it was going to be the ubiquitous graphical platform that would be used on everything from cell phones to supercomputers: write once, run anywhere.

> Initially I drank the kool-aid and was thrilled about this new “modern” language that was going to take over the world, and drooled at the notion of Java-based computers, containing Java chips that could run java byte-code as their native machine code.

Exactly. I was lucky to see Java when it was still called Oak, and then I developed some of the first (non-animation) Java applets and small desktop applications outside of Sun/JavaSoft. It was very exciting (speaking as a programmer in C, C++, Smalltalk, a little Self, a little Lisp, and other languages at the time). The language itself wasn't as cool as Lisp or Smalltalk, but it was a nice halfway compromise from C++, with some of its own less exotic but nice features and ergonomics. It was already in the browsers, had next-gen embedded systems for the Internet at the forefront from the beginning, there was a proof-of-concept of a better kind of Web browser using it, Sun putting even putting it in rings for ubiquitous computing, there were thin clients that could get interesting (combined with Sun's "The Network Is The Computer", even if historically techies didn't like underpowered diskless workstations, except to give to non-techies), etc., and it only promised to get better...

Then I turned my back for a sec., and the next time I looked, Java had been kicked out of the browser, and most all of the energy (except for the Android gambit) seemed to be focused on pitching Java for corporate internal software development. And suddenly no one else seemed to want to touch it, even if there wasn't much better. (Python, for example, from the same era, was one person's simplified end user extension language; and not intended for application development.)

Yet another case of technology adoption not going how you'd initially think it would.

I was able to find an article[0] showing job losses from Trump's first term tariffs but nothing concrete about inflation.

Despite not having concrete proof, I think there's a fairly plausible chain of events from tariffs to broader price increases. Trump's tariffs include a 10% tariff on Canadian oil and gas. If you're in a region that relies heavily on these things coming from Canada you're going to see prices go up on your monthly energy bills, fuel for your vehicle, etc. This also affects local businesses and directly increases their costs. Businesses can only absorb so much of an increase before they raise prices. Now you're able to buy even less between your increased monthly expenses and the higher prices in stores. This makes you go to your boss and ask for a raise just so you can keep up with what your purchasing power used to be. If your boss gives you that raise, the business sees their expenses go up again and may need to raise prices as a result.

In the scenario I described above, what step do you think won't happen that allows us to prevent higher energy prices from leading to inflation?
