This is exactly why I'm considering using atuin also. My zsh history on my mac will sometimes just completely disappear and then I have to go lookup what I was trying to do again. It is driving me crazy.


This happens to me also!! Does anybody know why? I ignore it as macos is a secondary and less critical environment for me but it’s really annoying.


They can, with enough money. The problem is that these will need to be sold at an even steeper discount so that throwing enough money at the renovation makes sense. That means whoever currently holds the loan will eat a huge loss, whether there is a conversion to residential or not.


What was i told... the market is always a gamble? Or should we once again bail out smart "investors" on the backs of hard workering Americans tax dollars?


Seriously. I’m so sick of people “taking gambles” and getting bailed out because they’re part of the shadow government.


My Fortune 500 employer has been in a hiring freeze for the last 1.5 years.


Agree, and I do the same. So many books, so little time.


Unity has lost $455 million dollars in the first 6 months of the fiscal year 2023. They lost $919 million in 2022. I don't think they have ever made a profit. Companies are not charities; they exist to make money, and Unity doesn't by a mile.

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1810806/000181080623...


How do you lose that much money? How does Unity Technologies employ 7700 people?!

For comparison: Epic Games employs about 3700 people. That includes the people working on Fortnite and the Epic Games store.

Edit: the stats might be a bit questionable though.


It sounds like Unity needs to learn some personal responsibility. Why should they get a hand out at our expense? /s

Seriously though, that is an insane number of employees. It sounds like another case of poor leadership that thought there'd be free money forever.


There's a big chunk of "technically unity" that used to be Weta.


According to Wilipedia only 275 employees became part of Unity theough this acquisition.


Post-IPO unity may not have made a profit (although that link of yours shows positive EBITDA in recent quarters), but they only went public in 2020.


So what? They're doing classic bait & switch.

The fact that they weren't profitable just makes it even more pathetic.


> Companies are not charities; they exist to make money

Funny you're saying that when so many US companies are losing billions if dollars and viewed as successful :)


This is the key. Companies that lose money are unreliable long-term partners.


I wonder how Brave and Microsoft Edge will handle this change. Are they also going to ship this "feature"?


Everything I'm seeing is that it is Chrome doing this, not Chromium. If the Googs decides to add features on top of Chromium in its Chrome release, that does not mean that other Chromium based browsers will have those changes automatically as well. It totally makes sense to me that Googs would not want these in the base Chromium as it's the secret sauce just for the Googs


The code for it is included with Chromium. Responsibly phasing out 3rd party cookies is important for the whole ecosystem.

https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:com...


I would think Google would want this in Brave and Edge also. Google will want to advertise to the users of these browsers even though they aren't using Chrome.


Then why are the articles not saying Chromium and specifying Chrome? Has Chrome become the new Kleenex/Xerox/Rollerblade?


Most people reading articles have no idea what Chromium is and how it differs from Chrome.


Microsoft will probably redirect it to their own servers. Brave will probably disable it. It's not hard.


Right now third-party cookies are blocked in Brave, so they'll probably also block this as well, but it remains to be seen. (I avoid Edge)


Microsoft has much more data about you, that just what can be gleamed from the browser.

It doesn't matter if edge does not have this "feature".

Microsoft can simply scan documents on your PC.


Jokes on you, I don’t use Windows


I have these 2 custom filters in Brave, and haven't seen this popup since:

##iframe[src^="https://accounts.google.com/gsi/iframe/select"]

||accounts.google.com/gsi/iframe/select^$third-party


The other top-level comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37041492) linked superuser answer mentions a similar single line for uBlock Origin:

  accounts.google.com/gsi/$3p
Any substantial difference between the suggested two, and this one?


I worked these out a while ago. I think on some sites, an iframe will still show, but will be empty. My second rule and this one probably do the same thing.


nice! but you should code-format that by indenting it, otherwise hn truncates the uri in some views


Why the hell is HN doing that...


It's more of an abbreviation than a truncation: the link still points to the full URL, but outside of a code context there's not much reason to display excessively long URLs in their entirety as part of a regular comment.


I am an Emacs enjoyer. My biggest issue with Emacs is that development is still done via a mailing list and patches. I wish they would adopt a Git front-end (web UI) workflow.


It's really not that bad, it's just different. There's pros and cons.

https://git-send-email.io/ has a great tutorial for getting started.

There's probably also a lot of emacs contributors that use emacs as their mail client that would be disrupted by replacing it with something web based.


I think the mailing list flow is a hindrance to attracting the next generation of contributors.


The "next generation" of Emacs contributors will be Emacs users and will not have any issues using email for collaboration.

Git was made for email. Needing a separate service for it is mostly cruft, when you have mailing lists. Yes, github has mass appeal, but a lot of software has been written with just email collaboration.

As for attracting low-quality contributions, I don't think they matter. People who use Emacs and depend on it will contribute. Interest in Emacs has increased and so have the available features.


This! I'm happy that Emacs isn't the greatest editor or the most-used/-popular; it needn't compete with say VSCode or vim.

There's a decent, loyal user base, importantly not the free-loading, entitled kind who water it down; they're like-minded, appreciate the philosophy behind it, don't mind tinkering with some LISP here and there, contribute their creations as answers or packages, and above all form a nice community helping each other.


As lazy as it seems, I’ve made a couple contributions to Neovim whereas I probably wouldn’t have bothered if I first had to figure out a mailing list flow.


Personally, I think that it's the copyright assignment that's the biggest barrier. For someone who figured out how to use Emacs, it shouldn't be very hard to figure out how to use a mailing list too.


This. A mailing-list-driven workflow is not as difficult as it appears, and Magit makes everything a breeze. However, I cannot complete the copyright assignment process, and consequently I am unable to contribute to the Emacs proper beyond a few lines of trivial changes.

It is so discouraging that I stopped working on the Emacs core [1] altogether: your contributions won't be acknowledged at all, even if someone volunteers to rewrite your code from scratch.

[1] I've been hacking some GUI-related features, but I'm not motivated enough to complete them. I also tried to write patches for my bug reports, but alas, my "CA-free" quota is already used up.


This is absolutely true and is one of the stronger arguments for the Linux kernel to adopt something like GitLab as well. Being able to take PRs for smaller contributions while still keeping core development on mailing lists (probably with an email bridge between so things aren't missed) seems ideal to me, but that's extra work for maintainers and whatnot


I don't think the Emacs maintainers would want to accept contributions from people who cannot figure out email.


> There's probably also a lot of emacs contributors that use emacs as their mail client that would be disrupted by replacing it with something web based.

The further I get into "emacs for everything" the more I appreciate using email for everything.


You can use emacs as web client


As an occasional developer of PostgreSQL which also does development on the mailing list I see pros and cons with it. It is harder to discuss lines of codes in a review on the mailing list but the nature of the mailing list (threading, etc) promotes much more nuanced and constructive discussions about patches on a higher level. Something which I have yet to see in any project on Github.

Gitlab has some threading support but not very good one.


The third-party apps shutting down on July 1st will be the real test. If Reddit notices a significant drop in traffic on that day, they will probably start walking back the change. I agree that this boycott, while the intention is good, won't do much.


Unless a large number of people who don't use 3rd party apps also leave in solidarity, it won't be a "significant drop". 3rd party apps make up quite a small amount of total traffic. And that's also assuming that TPA users _leave_ and don't just switch.


If you have 10,000 users you have 1000 commenters, 100 people posting, and 10 moderators. If you keep 97% of your users but you lost half your mods, 25% of your posters and 7% of your commenters its going to lead to an eventual decline bigger than 3% and it can create a self re-enforcing trend because the people contributing to other networks can drag their connections along with them.


I don't think Reddit is doing anything based on that day's data. I suspect that they will wait for a month before starting to rely on the data for any long-term prospects.


The true number to look at is not traffic, it’s moderation actions. The real problem is the site will get harder to moderate without the API.

And it’s why you have the strike; Reddit is not at risk of dying, it’s at risk of becoming even worse that it already is.


The real boycott is to stop moderating and let the place become a junkyard of spam and disinformation.


> Most annoyingly, a lot of websites have custom keyboard shortcuts, so you have to blacklist them in the Vimium config.

No, you just need to enter insert mode. Hit `i`, then all the keyboard shortcuts for the site work. Exit insert mode with escape or ctrl+[.


:mind-unrectifiably-blown-emoji:

Thanks for this, this changes everything. Namely, I can re-enable most commands that I've globally disabled. Who woulda thought the path to enlightenment would be to simply RTFM.
