Anecdote: Firefox (124) has become unusable for me on Arch Linux. Highly resource intensive applications (particularly including video streaming, even worse with camera / webrtc) consume way more CPU resources to the point of my laptop lagging out.

I don't remember the exact versions, but I upgraded to 124 earlier this month. Brave works great for video streaming, but breaks applications I use. Firefox development (125) also breaks some applications I use, and has the same performance issues as regular firefox.

The fan on my laptop has been broken for most of this year (replaced due to first fan making noise, but havent had time to figure out why the replacement stopped working). I have been running with all high performance CPU features disabled in the BIOS for years with the purpose of not using the fan anyways, and it has been working great with 1 or 2 intensive applications max running in firefox (and as much other low intensity stuff that basically doesn't consume much resource such as another browser - chromium, vscode, my development environment including a vm).

I don't currently really have any conclusive idea about what's going on. I will have to start using my desktop, fixing issues with my laptop, and do some more testing out of my workloads. Overall I'm just getting the feeling that something is horribly wrong with Firefox.

Save it as an html file. Use html script tag to wrap your javascript.

Yes this. Ctrl/super+shift+f is the hotkey as it is usually, which defaults to the folder the file is in. You can right click a folder in the file tree on the left to search within that folder, or modify the folder you're searching in. Another useful trick is to add a ", *.<filetype>" after the directory you're searching to limit the files.

The best part of searching in Sublime is the speed and the formatting of the results. It opens a "Find Results" tab just like another file, and it accumulates all you're searches there. Very fast and easy to browse.

I use Sublime for notes too, not because I think it's a really good way for taking notes, but more along the lines of the legal pad note takers: I just needed to jot stuff down quickly and didn't want to hassle with anything. I already edit code in sublime, so it's comfortable for me to always have it open.

I always have a window with just my notes folder open, and I make a new file for each day I take notes, named after the day. I do waste some time flipping through files, but there aren't that many to go through, and the search is there to deep dive into the entire history.

Sublime has always been quick to restore anything I haven't saved. On Windows it has a session file in AppData/Roaming or something. I did get bit by running out of hard drive space during Windows updates, and the session file ended up empty. Lost everything in it (unsaved files, open windows/files, searches).

I have found that Sublime is pretty slow with opening files on network drives. I still use notepad++, partially for that reason. I've also had a better time dealing with whitespace characters there, so I use it for random of commands and I/O I'm working with.

In response to other children of this post: perhaps you can give more evidence as to how this solution would end up like the harsh imprisonment by oppressive regimes? Why do you instantly shoot down one of the only creative solutions in this entire discussion, other than trying to raise more money to throw at it (which clearly has not even begun to solve these problems).

Most of the illumination when I drive comes from my headlights. All of it that I need, no matter how dark or "shadowy" it is (give me a break).

+1 to this anecdata. Lack of use of soap and deodorant along with regular showering is fine, and less consumery. I still use deodorant when I’m planning to be in a potentially hot, stuffy place with other people (e.g. car trips), and just take a shower after exercise.

I’d even go further to say I’m convinced that use of soaps and deodorant cause us to generate odor in an even worse way. This would make sense if you want to keep selling a product. We should research this!

And regarding the stainless steel stick, I just stroke my pit hairs with my fingers.

I haven’t seen ads on Instagram stories, just intermingled in the feed. They are spookily relevant and noticeable.

Snapchat ads come at the end of 1 person’s story, or between random people if you have multiple peoples’ stories queued. I never do the latter because it’s a dark pattern to make you wait for the ad to finish before the next story, so I always watch 1 person, and swipe out if there’s an ad. In general, it seems like Snapchat ads are higher production quality and less relevant.

Then they pee it out

A lot go to SF bay area. I met a large group of them in 2007 when I was doing my coop. My school, University of the Pacific, also had a mandatory coop program, although they started to make it optional sometime after 2009.

Probably the ones that arent getting premium pet food

Ive only heard of herbicide resistance, aka roundup ready. The bt modification (Cry1Ac protein from Bacillus thuringiensis), afaik, is itself a pesticide, or produces pesticide.

Edit: I suppose "pest" could refer to weeds and insects? I may have been thinking insecticide.

I've been doing a lot of running, and last night I was thinking about my progression and how important it is to not push yourself too far/hard into injury. I've gone through all sorts of bodily injury and growth, and have gradually increased the intensity and duration of my runs over several years.

Here's the advice I decided on:

* First focus on duration. Exercise (cardio, I jog/run) at least 20 minutes. Go as slow as you need to be comfortable and dont worry about distance. Stop or slow down at any sign of injury, focus on good form.

* Gradually increase distance/duration goals. I started aiming for 3 miles or 30 minutes, then I increased gradually to 6 miles / hour (what I currently do). Continue paying attention to your form, and also to your breathing. Sometimes I get pains in the chest or feel short on breath, and if I try mixing up my breathing techniques I feel better. Try to breathe into your nostrils.

* Increase intensity. I commonly get advice from very fit people to do high intensity training. I tried to early on, but my body would just have a really hard time with it. I'm finally just starting to increase intensity, particularly toward the end of my run. Master good form and breathing before doing this, and preferably when your body doesnt hurt.

Speaking of pain, I've had a lot of growing pain through this process. There are certainly different types of injuries in regards to whether you can continue exercising on them. I don't know much about the technicalities here, but if it feels better as you run (this happens with my feet/ankles) then it's prbably good for you to exercise on (RICE vs MEAT or something). Don't run on the injuries that need rest, but don't let the injuries that you can exercise with hold you back.

Also speaking of motivation, I constantly have that lazy and tired feeling of not wanting to go, but I always feel better when I do. Controlling yourself is key for all of the things i mentioned, especially for getting out there and doing it!

That certainly make sense. I had a similar idea about the reason behind it: The local residents don't want people parking in their neighborhood. Every BART station I've been to gets filled to max capacity during commute hours. On top of that, the hours are limited so overnight is impossible, but that could be done in a residential area. Businesses around the stations have to put up signs saying no BART parking allowed (how is this enforced?). The people that live nearby wouldn't want people parking for weeks for free on the streets outside their homes. I know this is illegal and they could be towed, but I wouldn't doubt this is involved in the planning.

For me the 2 main reasons I dislike glasses are:

1. Peripheral, especially when driving.

2. Uncomfortable, pinches nose, laying down on side with them on.

Also: Modification of scale of things. Makes things smaller the further they are from my eyes. Not a big deal, but I always feel kind of satisfied when I go back to contacts because of accuracy of perception. I suppose if I can get glasses with thinner material this might be less of an issue.

Keeping them clean and smudge free isn't that big of a deal for me, I just wipe them with my shirt, and normally it's not bad enough to bother me. Fogging is slightly annoying I suppose, but goes away quick.

I also seemed to have an ever-increasing strength of prescription. The last time I had them checked was in 2010, and my optometrist changed my brand from Coopervision to Acuvue because I was refusing to take mine off at night, and the Oasis is supposed to be more meant for that. I then had two bouts of some sort of pink eye (after nights of heavy drinking, but still didn't happen with my Coopervision even then), and also in general my eyes would feel drier in them. They had these slits that would become uncomfortable fairly quickly.

I switched back to my old Coopervision prescription from 2008 or 2009 and they have been working fine for me. From my own anecdotal experience, it's my theory that the constant stronger prescriptions are what makes your eyes worse. I've also heard anecdotes from other people about them just stopping wearing eye correction and their eyes get better.

Sounds like this just ensures lots of jobs in govtech.

This is what I hate about Starbucks, and the fact that it's pretty much the only place I can go to work / get out of the house when the library isn't open.

The more people that vote third party, the more plausible it will become and the bigger the message is that's sent that we aren't happy.

Masatoshi Shima deserves more credit than anybody. He was responsible for most of the logic in the 4004 and the 8080. Should write an article that summarizes what goes on in these oral history discussions:

These types of restrictions are exactly what refute the grandparent's claim that the web is more open today. Legislation, copyright, centralization and consolidation of services (ISP, cloud applications, cloud servers) have certainly made the Internet more powerful, but these trends have weakened what the Web was really about, as stated in the parent.

For me one of the greatest times of freedom was during the life of Geocities. This was actually the only time I had a website, and I was in middle school. Sure, there was a lot less people on the Internet, but it was a very wild wild west atmosphere and I feel like a larger portion of the users created their own home pages than today. Malicious parties were not as widespread and powerful, and there was overall not so much control over everything. I was also using Napster at this time.

I've studied computer engineering and I've still had a hard time having the feeling / spirit of freedom and ease of contributing to the Internet as I did back then. Maybe it's because I'm not creative anymore, or because I'm too cheap to pay for or too disinterested in putting my content onto services, or because there's a lot more to worry about with running your own server, or because there's too much visibility/scrutiny/copyright enforcement. Doesn't have the same feeling of openness as back then.

AWS is a computing service built on "datacenters" located all around the world, which are large warehouses packed tightly with racks of computers that are networked together and efficiently powered and cooled.

I'm missing a description of virtual machines / containers but that might be going into too much detail.

I'll have to check out the early Houston music, but I've heard a lot about DJ Paul, Juicy J and others from Memphis being a huge influence. Having listened to quite a bit of that early stuff I can definitely hear the sound in modern music. I wouldn't doubt that it came from Houston though, or a mix of a lot of Southern places including Houston, Memphis, Atlanta, New Orleans, and Miami. Here's an example of some Memphis music:

I found this book during my Google searches and really enjoy reading the author's website. Here's a comment [1] he made 3 years ago about a new version:

"Well, that isn’t completely my decision. When the publisher wants a new edition, they contact me, and then I begin writing. I don’t see a new edition on the horizon for a couple of years yet. Worse, I need additional pages to cover 64 bit issues, and the number of pages I have in the book is limited. Unless I can persuade the publisher to go beyond the 600-page mark, I’m going to have to eliminate other material to cover 64-bit assembly."

Did you try the lock cursor button? A lot of times in Windows VMs I have to go disable mouse acceleration, but it doesn't seem this version of Windows 98 has that option.

People are typically okay with site owners having their IP, because site owners tend to not be malicious. You could only connect with people that you completely trust, but with many applications the users might be complete strangers or merely internet acquaintances. Given the power, there would be malicious users taking advantage of it. This was a big deal with Skype because people weren't aware that adding a contact could reveal their IP to that person, and/or were not aware that revealing their IP could lead to DDOS attacks or other forms of abuse/stalking.

I love the dialogue there! When I'm up in the middle of the night (certain periods when my sleep schedule is off) I have this exact voice in my head, planning to go get a donut from my favorite shop when it opens. Luckily my desire to get in better shape has been keeping this urge under control, but it's amazing how persistent it is at convincing me otherwise.

On the topic of shoes, I recommend the Vibram Five Fingers, but there are some caveats involved. The main issue I have had is blisters (mainly on my big toe and the ball of my foot). For me wearing socks are a must (the injinji socks are great, but I found other toe socks at uniqlo that work just fine). Shoe size is a tricky thing, and some styles are definitely better than others in regards to comfort (I bought a pair I don't use at all because there is so much more friction on the areas where I get blisters). One of my feet is bigger than the other, and the general recommendation is to go with a snug fit, but on my bigger foot the big toe was poking into the end, and I feel like this messed up that foot a bit. I've since bought a pair of the larger size and I use my original pair on my smaller foot, and the new pair on only my bigger foot. Based on my experience too short is bad, and in general too large is probably bad because of the added friction.

Also, running barefoot style takes a lot of getting used to in regards to form. Keep your runs short at first so you can develop muscles that help you keep good form. Running in bad form exacerbates the blister issue and potentially can lead to other injuries. I've had some issues with my knee where the ilio-tibial band connects on the outside, but some stretches for that muscle have alleviated that issue, and my main limitation has been the blisters. As far as the blisters go, as long as I stick with a consistent running routine, don't overdo it and keep good form, they tend to be less of an issue. Also after having quite a few my skin has now started to toughen up. Combination of tough skin from healing a bunch of them, good form, and better shape and I think I will be able to run indefinitely without them being a problem.

The reason I switched to these shoes was because when I started running I would go through a $100+ pair of running shoes in less than a year. I would have problems with the cushioning in them becoming imbalanced, and a lot of pronation. This actually caused some legit injured feet for me and lots of foot pain that kept me out of running completely. Although there was the knee pain and the blisters with the five fingers, overall my feet feel great and the pain is nothing near what I had when I ran in regular shoes.

Rather than enforce a right, why not just support the creators that you love? Here's how I see it:

1. Abolish copyright law

2. Creators suffer and can't survive

3. People that have money and love the work of these creators see their suffering and give them support

This way creators can still be supported and people without money can enjoy all of the beauty of creation.
