Firefox Sync uses send-to-end encryption.

So self hosting isn't as necessary.

I would encourage people to include probabilities with their predictions.

I wrote a little tool to sync my passwords on pass with Firefox passwords which enables that (differently).

> Btw, a dev build is in prod right now. Or someone forgot to minimize the JS. Tons of import map issues.

Not the first time this has happened: https://twitter.com/NilsIRL/status/1479065003684765697

This ties in nicely with this talk moxie gave in 2019 about (de)centralization:

Hacker News Weekly is linked from nowhere, I guessed the link a few months ago and since then it has been the main way I use Hacker News.

Thanks a lot!

Shameless plug, here's something else you can do with right to left "styling": https://www.nilsand.re/programming/2021/11/14/title-directio...

It would be interesting to see if it's possible to just get Copilot to give you other people's solutions as often people upload their solutions to GitHub.

The comment to trigger Copilot would be something like the following:

# Advent day1 part1

Are we looking at the same page? Because I see multiple releases in 2021: https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/releases

And there are also (naturally) economic downsides as well:

  The costing model in this study covers three areas where smoking has been shown to 
  create ‘external’ costs: the direct costs to European public healthcare systems in a given 
  year; productivity loss to the EU27 economy due to increased absenteeism; and the 
  monetised cost of premature mortality

  Taking the three main cost factors together, the loss to the EU in 2000 is estimated to be at 
  approximately €363 billion. This figure corresponds to about 3.4% of the EU27 GDP.

This is also valuable for other things than fonts designed for programmers.

It would be nice if there were different set of fonts so that writers could also use it.

Also this concept of tournament can not only be generalised to other types of fonts, it can be generalised to different things entirely as well. Really like the idea!

This one even supports a HN, Microsoft Word and Google docs theme.

I think this is the relevant clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsESsHZNoO4

Introducer devices don't have to be online all the time. There is also no need to limit the number of introducer devices.

I have a folder that's synced between my laptop, desktop and phone, and each has the other 2 devices as introducer.

Looking at https://downdetector.co.uk/, the 4 service at the top are Instagram, Facebook, Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp, so I'd be tempted to say yes.

This article specifically mentions "nonphone devices" which means it is not much (if at all) different from Signal desktop

Signal does have this feature. It's just that their mobile clients do not support it (as a "slave" device), from what I understand this is no different than WhatsApp multi device feature

If you prefer ublock origin filters I have the following:

  youtube.com##ytd-browse[page-subtype="home"]
  youtube.com###related
  youtube.com##.html5-endscreen

The first one, removes the homepage, the second one the list of videos when on an already existing video, the last one, the end screen tiles.

It seems to me that the parsing code in clang is distributed over multiple files which together are way more than 3000 lines: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/tree/llvmorg-12.0.1/cla...

I might have misunderstand the blog post but it seems to me that everything that was tried used a "2-chain" which works on the assumption that the same type of people enjoy talking together.

From my personal experience although this can often be true it can also often be completely wrong. Concretely the friends I have are not a copy of myself and I am not necessarily friends with those that are very similar to me.

Another way to put it is to put people's personality as a binary, they're either of type I or type II.

In the example given, person A and C both had a non-trivial conversation with person B. So person B is type I and person A and C type II. In this case type II can be interpreted as "has non-trivial conversations with type I". There is no reason for person A and C which are both type II to have a non-trivial conversation.

From what I can tell, the individual(s?) use(s) different accounts for each uploaded picture.

I also like to use `git diff --color-words=.` to do a character wise diff instead.

I believe this is wrong based on the following:

1. I was able to use telegram without using the smartphone app at first, I just needed a phone number to register on desktop

2. The MacOS desktop app supports E2EE

3. Some third party desktop apps support E2EE

4. Signal has synced E2EE that works on both desktop and smartphone (And so does Matrix)

This is not entirely useless as you still have a backup of the data, you just need to restore it without the "time bomb".

FLoC has a well defined API like (all) standards: https://wicg.github.io/floc/

There's no reason why the website would not be reliable at detecting whether FLoC is enabled on your browser.

You can also used https://floc.glitch.me/ which was linked in one of the blog posts from google.

Sorry, am I missing something because I'm pretty sure the whole point of the article is that ISPs do block more than just DNS
