For a very long time there were not enough developers to deal with Gimp problems on macOS. Things have changed recently with Lukas Oberhuber who work on macOS's Gimp, and the upcoming Gimp 3.0 version is expected to have much better UI.
What years does it cover?

Edit-looks like 1763 onward. Very much left out there.
I'm not seeing that. Most European colonial powers have withdrawn from most of their colonies. Those colonies still feel the effects of colonization, both ill effects and more benign effects. How are the actions of USA in Philippines different from that?
People liked Google Inbox too; that’s two including Google Reader.
If I write "I think Google is evil", I mean: "I think Google is evil, but I acknowledge that it's possible for other fairly reasonable people to have a different opinion."

If I write "Google is evil", I mean: "I think Google is evil, and I consider this an established fact that reasonable people shouldn't be disputing."

These are different propositions, and I might want to say either of them.

A policy of not using qualifiers like "I think" because of-course-it's-my-opinion makes it harder to make that distinction. I don't think the advantage of punchier prose is worth that loss.

(Note the "I don't think" at the end; other people might reasonably see the tradeoffs differently. Note the absence of "I think" elsewhere; I don't see much doubt that there is such a tradeoff being made.)
Yep, for graphs that's an already intuitive syntax and a starting point. Other non graph based diagrams use different ones.
What feedback did they give in your rejection email?
I can not answer for large sites (nor for makesite.py specifically), but in general to your scenario, yes, all pages would need to be regenerated. I guess you could think of it as a build server. But instead of building code for an app that you would be deploying, you are generating your content for your static site/blog. That being said, you could then create a build server optimized to generate your content, and/or try a static site generator whose forte is the build/generation process (I think hugo fans tend to highlight this feature for that platform?). Maybe instead of generating all content on your local machine, you could keep all your content on a beefier machine, and generate it from there - which could process stuff much faster, etc. Even still, it is probably unlikely that one would have to alter things like sidebars or footers that often, right? Also, worse case scenario, something tells me that even if needing to regenerate that many pages, i mean, would it be ok if it takes just a few minutes - probably not the end of the world, right? (I guess it depends on the timeliness of the single post or footer change that needs to wait for 100,000 pages to get regenerated, eh?) I hope my comments helped a little.
What do you mean by 'real hope'? Just curious.

Decentralized DNS has been discussed, but it runs afoul of Zooko's triangle. In such a system, human-readable names would end up resolving to different IPs for different clients, which breaks everything. You can reduce but not eliminate the breakage using something like a Levien trust metric.
It is unfortunately true that intermittent sources of power generation subtract from grid stability. Texas (ERCOT region) had a huge incident back in 2019 with rates skyrocketing to $9/KWh for over 90 minutes. Many attributed this to an over-reliance on wind generation.
I used to frequently scan through gizmodo and lifehacker quickly every day or two and open any article that looked even a little interesting in a new tab. I remember being really disappointed when the redesign happened at first and the way I interacted with and used the site was no longer as painless.
tl;dr - we learn how to get by with less...

Thanks Nature, I'm glad that the main value you see in our spending 4+ years in advanced scientific study amounts to building a healthy respect for free food.

In pure economic terms, yes, the PhD seems almost always the wrong option. I'm curious about other factors such as general wellbeing and quality of life. Though chasing nonexistent tenure track positions while hopping from postdoc to postdoc probably isn't all that great.. Straight to industry for me.
You're entirely correct. I should explain that this PoC was written not to advertise Bravo, but to explain the nature of the attack to a handful of members of the community. I don't advertise Bravo -- the people that it was written for were using it back when it was called Beta, and the wider community really doesn't care about custom servers very much. Additionally, mineserver is a much better server than Bravo; if I'm plugging custom servers, I will plug them instead.
I understand the disdain some people may have with the lawyer's tactics.

What most people don't understand, however, is how badly the adult industry is hurting right now.

In the late 90's, early 00's, the adult industry absolutely exploded thanks to the internet. Millionaires were being made every day. Really the only thing you had to do was put up a site with a few images and videos, pay someone to link to you, and you could see the money start rolling in.

Then, the affiliate model came into play, and TGPs were created (thumb gallery posts). Some owners complained that these would hurt sales because affiliates were giving away content for free. It didn't hurt - in fact, sales grew much stronger.

MGPs followed (movie gallery posts), where images were replaced with short video clips. Sales remained strong. The industry was quick to see how these tools benefited them.

What the industry did not see coming, however, were the tube sites. How can you have a profitable business selling adult videos and images online when some website is letting you stream full-length videos for free? Why would you pay for adult content? Thus, adult companies have been dropping like flies. Not only providers, but also payment processors. Millions have been lost or stolen.

I know, I know, "Boohoo those poor porn people aren't getting their money"... but what if you woke up tomorrow and realized that someone was giving away YOUR software for free (assuming you've created software that is not open sourced)? All of a sudden your income gets sliced and diced.

Nowadays, the only adult companies making a good amount of money are those that offer a more "personal" experience - live cam shows, girls/boys who blog with their members and do requests. Things you can't pirate: the human experience.

Oh, and gay sites. Gay always sells.

Porn companies can't really go after these illegal porn tube sites. Many are based in China, and the owners are hidden behind layers of privacy sheets. The know what they're doing is hurting thousands of people, but their greed for personal profits are first in their minds.

While I would not like receiving robocalls from lawyers threatening to sue me if I don't settle, I can see how some of these guys really have no choice but to turn to litigation to recoup some of their lost income.
Interesting. What's your objection to LinkedIn? Or are you just making a reference to the herd?
If anyone wants to view Gawker sites as they were before the redesign, just append ca. as the subdomain (like http://ca.io9.com). Even knowing this, I still visit io9 1/10th as often as I did before their redesign.
FTA: "Nick Denton wrote in to argue that the site's internal tracker has been broken for two months."

Really? Gawker has not had web analytics for the last two months, after a major redesign? That is hard to believe.

Gawker has also had a broken 'Back' button in Firefox, where you can click on an article and it requires 3 Back clicks to get you somewhere you didn't mean to go.

Gawker sites are now also serving out giant pages -- the images are not saved for web viewing (generally huge compared to their pixel area and could be much smaller with non-lossy compression). I checked out Firebug one day after the redesign, and saw almost 2MB of JS, in separate files and not minified.

I would like to hear about the process for this. Unfortunate, as I used to enjoy Deadspin as a go-to break time site.
Replicant, perhaps? http://www.replicant.us/

But without the proprietary drivers, not much of the hardware will be functioning. No GPS, no 3D acceleration and no hardware video codecs.
Yep - I have permission to use "Sublime Text" in the book title
My experience from being on both sides of the desk has been that devteams are relatively tolerant of candidates exhibiting personality quirks during the interview process - it's the candidate's skills that are in demand, not their winning personality.

Maybe it's different when you interview at a FAANG company though? I imagine FAANG recruitment is a merciless sausage machine.
But that's not how it works. You are almost always free to use why language you want. There are exceptions to this but in those cases it would be clearly indicated in the job description.
Application developers typically do not decide package names (unless they provide their own package repository), distribution maintainers do. Package names may change over time, and might be different for different distributions (or even between different versions of the same distribution), even if they use the same package format.

Of course, application developers may decide anyway to keep track of package names for their N favourite distributions and display them on their website. But to me it comes across as a waste of useful space.
Someone told me about this today!! We need to build a tribute to The Palace within the product. On it.
I’ve seen surveys reporting that over 90% of Democrats and a significant minority of Republicans want universal health care. It may be out of scope for this discussion to figure out why the priorities of voters do not translate to policy in the United States.

I'm not an accountant (or an American), but I don't think so. USC 108(e)(2) says:

> No income shall be realized from the discharge of indebtedness to the extent that payment of the liability would have given rise to a deduction.

And because medical bills are deductible when itemized, I suspect they would qualify for this exemption.

Does LAN work without internet connection?
They're probably referring to https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkitjs which is what powers the DDG integration.

Anyway it is the case that the only way to browse Apple Maps via the web (AFAICT) is via an integration like DDG:

So yeah saying it is available on the web feels a bit disingenuous, but it is, kind of, indirectly.
> Day 12 — CLRS (ch 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

> When studying CLRS or PP, it’s essential to solve the exercises at the end of each chapter.

I spent the last 2-3 weeks of 2020 going through these exact chapters, 22-26 (solving every exercise and problem) and it took me about 15 hours a day. Toward the end of chapter 26, it got extremely difficult (Goldberg and Tarjan's push relabel algorithm for max flow).

That's a pretty obscene performance gain. Either that new algorithm was magic, or the one before was pretty crappy. When else do you see this kind of performance gain in production code?
Wheeler invoked this concept to explain the identical properties shared by all electrons, suggesting that "they are all the same electron" with a complex, self-intersecting worldline.

Sorry but this needs touch support, right now it displays well on my iPhone but I cannot 'click' anything. Once you support mobile I will use it in my projects to see how it goes.
My point was that in certain markets unregulated competition will naturally lead to a monopoly. The technical term for this in microeconomics is "natural monopoly", and the explanation at the beginning of the Wikipedia article is actually pretty good.
Without regulation monopolists can prevent the market entry of competitors and can extract excessive profits from consumers, to the detriment of society as a whole.
Here is an excellent rebuttal of the whole concept: http://www.monbiot.com/archives/2010/08/16/towering-lunacy/

But if you're actually going to invest time in learning the craft of photography, an SLR makes a world of difference. It doesn't have to be a high-end SLR by any means, but it does enable you to capture many things that a point and shoot would not.

Flash video crashes constantly and it still doesn't work with netflix. Who cares about crappy 90's style GL demos? SOmehow, it seems priorities aren't quite right at mozilla, IMO.
You said, "The problem is that fructose is so simple that no insulin needs be produced in order to assimilate it." But insulin needs to be produced to assimilate glucose. Your subordinate clause could only be true if fructose were simpler than glucose.

Also, your subordinate clause could only be true if fructose were less difficult to assimilate than glucose. It's not. It's more difficult. It has to be converted into glucose in order to be metabolized.

Dates and figs, staple foods throughout human history, are over 20% fructose by weight. Many fruits and vegetables derive more than half their calories from fructose and, in a few cases, fructans. Throughout the evolutionary development of our diets, fruits and vegetables supplied the majority of our calories. So saying fructose "simply didn't exist in modern quantities during the evolutionary development of our appetites" is false. Fructose could indeed be a major cause of health problems, but not because it was a small component of our ancestral diets. It might be a slightly larger component today, but I suspect it's actually considerably less because of the higher protein and fat content of modern diets.

Metabolic rate per kilogram varies widely among people, and within the same person over time. Epidemiological studies have shown that, at least in the US, heavier people have a much lower metabolic rate per kilogram, to the point that heavier people generally tend to eat less. There's lots of speculation on why this is — do they have thyroid disorders? are their bodies conditioned by widespread yo-yo dieting? do they get less exercise? — but I'm not aware of a consensus yet.
People I know (cough cough) had pretty good success installing Leopard Desktop into vbox 3.x on intel, but for some reason 10.6 is a bit more elusive...

A few months ago. First time to plot is noticeably better than it was a few versions ago, but still extremely slow compared to Python. The article gives a benchmark of 9 seconds. I mean, come on.

The main problem I had was simply that what any time I needed to modify a struct field, or anytime my program crashed, or any time the buggy IDE extension crashed, I needed to recompile everything. I also haven't found anyone particularly interested in basic things like interfaces, despite the language supporting type hierarchies (why can't we enforce contracts for types? The whole language is built around overloading...)

Overall this is very frustrating as the language is excellent is many regards, in particular multiple dispatch and the compilation model are just great. The "just ahed of time" compilation is one of those obvious-in-hindsight ideas IMO, better than full interpretation or full compilation for nearly all use cases, if only it could be cached between interpreter sessions or if you didn't need to restart all the time...
But why stop at Canada?
Ooh, look at mr "I don't watch my videos at 0.25x speed" over here.
Paying teacher livable wages would be good.

However, contrary to popular belief "more is always better" throwing money at problems isn't always a solution. I was in academia, and often vast amounts of money were thrown about without planning or oversight, and it never worked out.
The biggest problem is not the lack of code and automation.

The biggest problem is that apparently Guyana allows the US embassy to search their criminal records system:

> Search a different database with a separate program (“DB2”) for criminal and other history

So either Guyana allows the US wholesale access to its criminal records system or the US systems gather this data more or less illegally from somewhere.

edit: downvotes? seriously?
Given their ad sales model, they're working on ways to serve you ads you're more likely to click on.
The claim that democracy and "Western values" would not work well in China due to cultural reasons is weakened by the fact that it seems to be doing fine in Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan, which have very similar cultural backgrounds.
Do something amazing on your nights and weekends. If you're a recent grad, then you probably should revel in the whole reliable-paycheck thing for a while, but it doesn't stop you from innovating and pursuing what you're passionate about on the nights and weekends.

I personally have never looked to work to satisfy my passion (for computers). No matter the job I am working at, I have a steady stream of side projects and try my hardest to keep up with a small bit of the massive firehose of change that is modern computer science/programming.

Don't worry about being average. Many of the people who have created great things weren't that far from average. They just seem like geniuses in retrospect. Also, it's about 5 billion times (give or take) easier to do software these days, you have a huge leg up on geniuses of the past.

Find a project to do that makes you happy, and do it until it doesn't make you happy anymore (hopefully, after it's finished)
A giant photo stretched across. Make me want to go out.

And I dunno, I browsed around a little bit but I'm guessing that the peaks are like k2, not the trail near my neighborhood.

It might be interesting to see trails on Google maps though, instead of having to browse around a directory.
I would say that in that example, "free" is a form of inertia.
It's a gamey meat compared to steak, and susceptible to overcooking if you're not careful. But it provides a high protein, low fat, affordable alternative to beef. And if you're into that sort of thing, is apparently more 'sustainable'.
Hikify is a hiking and mountaineering database, in a wiki-style, where anyone (registered) can add or edit a peak, a range, a route, or a division (country, state, region, etc).

There are few peaks introduced yet, but the number is (slowly) growing.

Please feel free to add your favourite local peak if it's not there yet (it won't probably be).

Any feedback will be welcome.
I'm waiting for the Libertarian party to embrace drivers licenses ;)
Terrific site - it reads really nicely. Well done!
I've found the Xilinx tooling to be at least as good on linux as on Windows. The tools certainly have a fair share of quirks, but I recommend it based on Xilinx having a majority market share. So if you want to learn a saleable skill, it is a good place to start. As for the boards the pynq is really good value for money with a lot of support.
That's just a lesson in promising things to your customers - if you never promise free nobody bitches; changing things you've already delivered is the simplest way to a marketing problem.
Maybe I misunderstand something, but I use jupyter for sage for example and the point of it is that graphical results can be shown there immediately. Some plots can be even made interactive.
Huh? Anyone could sign up for the trial, even after I participated in one I still got calls from countless trial recruiters from other manufacturers. It was quite easy to participate
I'm referring to the long term policy of tax cuts, starting in the 1980s. The data set you link to has real median income (after inflation) going up by about 40% since 1975, under 1% per year.

That's not zero, but compared to GDP, the stock market, and other measures of overall economic health -- which have gone up by an order of magnitude or more -- the median is practically immobile.

And for much of that time, it was even more immobile. The median was $31k in 1997, and was $31k in 2014. It bottomed out at $30k in 2012; it has been rising since but that was almost two decades of complete stagnation -- while GDP rose and stock markets climbed.
Grift. Rent Seeking. The same old formula. Sadly it still works well today.
> Your citation leaves out the part that Nissan cut production of the Leaf in anticipation of the Bolt's arrival.

Maybe because it's not true?

> If you had bothered to read your sources, you would have seen that the reason the used Leafs were so cheap was due to battery issues with the early generation Leafs...

If that were true then the 2014 and 2015 Leaf would have been fine since they used the new lizard chemistry. It was only the 2013 or older Leafs that had issues and only in hot dry climates like Texas and Arizona.

Leafs were cheap primarily because there was a glut of off lease vehicles. They were leased for federal and state tax rebates, in Georgia you got enough back in rebates to pay for the entirety of a 2 year lease, 2 years of insurance, and still have some left over. Lots of people leased them, and then when the lease was up they didn't want to renew the lease or buy them.

When I bought my off lease Leaf, I was talking with the salesman and he said he bought one off lease with less than 1000 miles on it because it had just been parked the whole time.
