Firefox vs Brave: Brave is based on Chrome , and has some powerful hype right now. But what else ?

RT @plexus
This is what happens if you try to download and install Firefox on Windows

Bing: "you don't need to download a new browser, we recommend Edge"

Windows: "to protect your pc we recommend only running ms verified apps, use Edge"

Disgusting

A great idea, and a nicely done April 1st

A friend’s startup did a privacy-preserving voice assistant w/ on-device ML including CV. Partner built nice prototype I saw at CES before startup exited to a Big (partner didn’t go to market).

We get asked“when is Brave doing Alexa or Echo private alternative?” It could happen. twitter.com/brave/status/15098

I learn and because life is short. Programming is cool of course but honestly it's a shitshow. The complexity + dependency breakage, the "tooling" + constant changes are not healthy. I am a noob and for this I have the authority to say. I'd prefer not to.

In our meeting today we demonstrated and discussed nil/null as the dirty boolean value, especially baked in to SQL. If your boolean allows null, it is actually a trilean. But we have a stakeholder who wants "null" to indicate "you haven't filled this in yet; look here!" It's when the dirty booleans sneak up on you that you really need to watch out. And yes, we did discuss the optional third arg of getter functions, for when your business logic needs to know whether its NOT THERE vs when its just FALSEY.

It wasn't THAT long of a recording, but with RecondMyDesktop and three monitors, that's almost 300gb. No wonder it takes AGES to encode these things.

A call for an app-less world. This should me comfortable for users: open source, shared protocols. What do you think? youtube.com/watch?v=ntaudUum06

Airbus says its A380 aircraft has performed a flight powered primarily by used cooking oil.

This is the third Airbus plane to fly on 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel in the last year. Airbus hopes to bring the world’s first zero-emission aircraft to market by 2035.

Working towards the implementation of RNN (recurrent neural networks) in 🚴‍♂️ High performance, low level and high-level! Son it would power the 2nd edition of the Deep Learning for Programmers book. Check it out at aiprobook.com/deep-learning-fo

Our governing super-organization (University) has recently grown a liking to changing tech on which we've relied for over a decade: email filters, VPNs, DNS routing systems... resulting in feature loss and breakage with no alternatives provided, and apparently no user testing.

days where the LOC written is negative are good days

It's amazing how much you can simplify some computer programs by just looking at every line and asking: "If I took this line out of the program, would the program still work? What would it take to alter the program somehow so that I COULD remove this line and still have it work?"

Why does this trick work? I don't fully know. But I use it to recover from lost screens every day (5+ times just today, in fact). orys.us/ul

So webpack offers excellent speedy hot-reloading now?
