I am on macOS. For browsing and managing bookmarks, I used to stick to Safari and for development work I was using Chrome.

After Quantum, never used Safari and Chrome. I tried FF just to check if it works any better. For few days, I was using all three browsers. But now, sticking to FF only since last may be six months.

Containers is really nice feature. Nothing matches FF Containers. I miss containers on iOS though. I am sure they will be launched soon.

Do you know GAB? It is a far right wing platform in response to twitter. Much before LW spoke about moving to mastodon, RW started moving to GAB. BTW, GAB is now using mastodon open source software only.

The BBC article itself is biased. Twitter has banned people from all sides. But BBC chose people only from one side.

Example handles from other side: check this tweet (this is a pro govt handle) - https://twitter.com/modifiedvikas/status/1177099258534588416

"night blindness" or "night vision"?

AMD lags not because of hardware only. There is very weak support for drivers and libraries in software. Intel and Nvidia spend huge amount of money in supporting library maintainers and thereby creating a lobby.

For example, look into the list of supported GPUs in the Github repositories of popular machine-learning libraries PyCharm, Tensorflow etc. AMD and OpenCL is nowhere as compared to Nvidia's CUDA.

From where do you guys purchase or download (free) EPUBS? I wanted Christensen books and didn't find any. Either they are tied to Kindle or Noob.

Firefox 70 is developer's delight. Breakpoints on DOM changes is the one of the most difficult parts. FF70 solves this. Great.

True. It isn't possible to work on Mac without Homebrew. This is exaggeration but true for all practical purposes.

Yesterday only I set it up with B R command. But that just shows just three links - two to the comments, and one to the article.

In dired-mode, now you can zip a directory using command 'Z' over the directory. Wow!

The analogy given in the article is interesting. Some organisms perform certain actions even before they start to learn. I myself have seen some animals start running immediately after birth. Less number of parameters (shared parameters) could also be thought of as less complexity and hence less processing power requirements; which implies faster training. Phew! too much similarity.

Japronto looks promising but the lack of community support is discouraging. Another alternate could be Sanic if you are going to use Python 3.5+. Support for asyncio is essential if you want to serve a million requests per sec.

I remember people used to say, "Emacs is a nice OS, what it lacks is a good editor". While reading the Ultimate OS paper I was thinking about Emacs. It already exists.

At one point we used to brag about using less memory. Common discussions were - "see, my memory usage — while hitting free -m on cli", "see, my kernel size is just 500kb, I chose just the right module" and so on…

Probably that is why big economies are after crypto networks. Ripple is a close alternative for the SWIFT network.

“No Datacenter Deployment. The SOFTWARE is not licensed for datacenter deployment, except that blockchain processing in a datacenter is permitted.”

In all the talk, I see this as a life time opportunity for freelancers. I remember, in my initial career days, small business owners use to give work of billing softwares to freelancers instead of purchasing of the shelf software.

The author hasn't mentioned it. But yes, it is possible.

This article is completely biased.

> It would be good if HN keeps out of politics, and specially anything related to India.

It is better that we put our point across than saying that keep it of HN. BTW, I am a big fan of Mr. Modi. Cheers.

> (considering his involvement in Gujrat riots and Babari Masjid issues.)

[citation needed] (Considering Supreme Court Judgement on Mr. Modi)

Supreme Court of India discharged Mr. Modi, that too under blood thirsty Congress government. What other proofs are required. Because of Gujarat governments support, free trial could have been conducted. Its own minister was convicted. Give me another such example. Ex-minister served the punishment under the government of his own political party.

Funny. Rhetorics are being referred to call a state "fascist".

They should ideally put this message at the top.

In the Indian context, till India achieves what it is capable of, this article will remain a guiding principle; and it will remain relevant.

The author says Apple did not reduce iPhone prices in the Asian countries but it is reducing Apple Music price.

My view is - one is a product and the later is a service.

There is an upfront cost in service and running cost depends on the people hired to support the customers and some infrastructure maintenance. Most probably the resources hired to sort and classify Indian music are paid a fraction of the salaries of their US counterparts.

On the other hand, manufacturing cost doesn't change with the customer geography.

Are we moving towards socialism of the internet?
