Yup. Or just ignored it because it didn't fit the predetermined narrative being pushed on us.

> Where did Andrej say it was "the future of software engineering"? He very clearly described vibe coding as an entertaining way to hack on throwaway weekend projects.

... And then a few weeks later, my boss' boss scolded the team for not having heard of the term, and told us to learn and use vibe coding because it's the future.

Capable of printing to-scale? No. But I've printed a fair number of USGS 7.5min quads on a standard Brother laser printer. I print them double-sided, with the top half of the map on one side and the bottom half on the other[1]. They fit that way at about 1/2 scale, which is still eminently usable. Perfect for day hikes and other light recreation. And guaranteed not to break when you sit on it in a Ziploc in a back pocket.

Sure, use your phone with offline maps as your primary, but a printed backup map doesn't require anything special or expensive.

Hard to be certain, but those edges look non-perforated to me.

I use those keys heavily, and was hoping they'd fix it in the 16. Sadly, no. Their keyboard connector layout seems to make it difficult to have a keyboard with more rows, so having a layout with the bottom 3 arrow keys in a new row seems unlikely. But what about a touchpad module that has 3 (or 4) arrow keys on it?

Still, it's not a complete nonstarter for me, because the 16 does have that optional keypad. I could actually start using the numlock key again.

Got a good source for safe, reliable battery replacements? Last time I needed one I discovered that Duracell made them, but it seems like they've stopped now.

Similar situation here, with W520. My fantasy for Framework 16 is to have extended hinges and thick bezel available that would lift the screen further from the keyboard deck, and of course an upgraded keyboard available with longer travel and contoured keys (and better arrow key layout).

Are you listening, Nirav?

(Yes, I know it would make the laptop slightly thicker and heavier. But I just said I'm using a W520, and happy with it...)

Anecdote begins on page 16.

...and the domain taken over by a scammer who puts up a fake app that does unspeakable things to your USB device.

It does go in separate buckets.

The money flow between the for-profit that develops Firefox and the non-profit foundation is one-way: From for-profit to non-profit. This is because it is illegal for the non-profit to give money to the for-profit.

Any donations you make go to the non-profit. They are not used and cannot legally be used for Firefox development.

Edit to add: Mozilla chose this legal structure. Mozilla chooses to disallow donations or payments directly to the for-profit. For example, nothing prevents using a shareware model, where Firefox is free but you can choose to pay for it. And Mozilla chooses to avoid mentioning this structure when accepting donations from you.

Those things are Mozilla services. If they spoke of operating Mozilla services and data you input into Mozilla services, it'd be fine and expected. But instead they speak of operating Firefox and data input into Firefox, which is much more broad, and just happens to give them coverage for all kinds of data collection and abuse.

The fact they've issued this update and not clarified the scope as Mozilla services is disturbing.

And I can't decide whether you are suggesting that an onager (Asiatic wild ass) or an onager (catapult) is better than a trebuchet.

> You give Mozilla the rights necessary to operate Firefox. This includes processing your data as we describe in the Firefox Privacy Notice. It also includes a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license for the purpose of doing as you request with the content you input in Firefox.

You don't need a license for data you never see. When I use Firefox to type a comment on HN, that comment goes from me to HN. It doesn't go to Mozilla. Mozilla does not need a license. (And no, Firefox doesn't need a license either, because licenses are granted to people and organizations, not software.)

The only possible reason for Mozilla to need a license to the data I type into Firefox is if Mozilla intends to have Firefox send that data to them.

One detail I've not seen mentioned in these discussions is that the EO specifically identifies "the U.S. Continental Shelf area bounded on the northeast, north, and northwest by the States of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and extending to the seaward boundary with Mexico and Cuba". I'm not sure exactly what that looks like on a map, but it's clearly focused on US coastal waters. (Which kind of makes sense, because GNIS has no naming authority outside of US borders.) But it also makes the implementation by Google Maps wrong, since a large part (a majority, I think) of the gulf is still the Gulf of Mexico. It seems like the area should be drawn as two adjacent gulfs, the Gulf of America to the North and East, and the Gulf of Mexico to the South and West.

(Not debating the merits, just pondering mapping details.)

And the fix for this is ratgdo[1].

I got one for my decade-old not-smart opener around the time the manufacturer was shutting down API access for their fancy new smart models. Works like a dream. Why would anyone want to spend $$$ buying a fancy new cloud-smart appliance when a simple little chip can make the old one local-smart?

To elaborate a bit more, it sounds like the new rule would require the GFCI breaker (which requires a manual reset) to be more sensitive than the required protection already built into the EV charger (which auto-resets). So at any hint of a potential problem, the GFCI would trip first, before the EV charger could respond, forcing a manual reset.

I imagine it taking pictures like this:

The factor you are missing is that aedes aegypti is an invasive species in most countries. Eradicating it isn't harming the environment, it's restoring the environment.

Back when beverages came in glass bottles, they would sterilize and refill them rather than recycle them. Much less energy and no fresh glass required.

I've got an old 7up bottle that was about 20 years old when I bought it in a 6-pack.

Why did he need to punish himself? Isn't that the board's job?

Your description of the location of this mine doesn't match your Wikipedia link.

Searching in Google Maps, Thacker Mine comes up as 40.58448942010599, -117.8912129833345. As you say, that is near I-80 and Mill City, and there is nothing there.

But Wikipedia says it's at 41.70850912415866, -118.05475061324945 in the McDermitt Caldera, nowhere near Mill City or I-80.

I'm thinking probably don't trust Google on this one. :)

How many miles does it have on the latest software? Because any miles driven on previous software are no longer relevant. Especially with that big change in v12.

So they disclose that ArchieAI might repeat factual errors in the records, but don't bother mentioning that ArchieAI might make up fictional history?

It's not worthless to companies who want to use it against me.

I don't want to sell my data. I want companies to stop collecting it.

In fact, I don't think I've seen anyone here wishing they could sell their data.

I already know what they'll find..

And someone with truly crippling social anxiety isn't going to be standing there in the store with a line of people staring at them while a computer yells at them. They are gonna be sitting at home waiting for the gig worker to drop off their stuff.

Oh, interesting point. So when I see a marker on every block in places, that doesn't mean you can just walk off the street into them, they might be upstairs?

At first I struggled to make sense of the numbers in the circles. Surely there can't be 10,110 locations in a space the size of the SF Bay area? But yes, yes there are...

And let's not forget the GoPro.
