> The blank Photoshop document glows in front of you. You’ve been trying to design a website for an hour but it’s going nowhere.

For me, it's exactly the other way around. I have a beautifully illustrated Photoshop picture and then I turn it into HTML and CSS and I realize that some relative alignments are literally completely impossible to do without design changes or doing some flexbox hack that's not supported on older browsers. The ugliness of HTML quickly catches up to your pretty bitmap. Going with HTML from the start is the way to go (unless you can avoid HTML altogether, in which case you should AVOID IT ALTOGETHER).

This comes automatically if you use HTML+CSS ;)
Thanks for letting us know, that is actually very helpful

Found the most HN comment I'll see all day.
So what you're arguing is that NN is artificially keeping the cost of network access down? That's actually an argument I haven't heard before. Thus the only companies that can afford to eat the cost of NN are huge ISPs. I don't know whether this is true or not but I'm at least interested.

NN is largely independent of the type of content being sent over the network. NN helps Netflix because they're in competition with services that are owned by or partner with ISPs -- it doesn't, on the surface, seem to foster the creation of more streaming services.

Comcast was extremely anti-NN because they want to push cable and their own streaming services via network restrictions. I'm not sure what part of CC's business is begin codified into NN regulations or what nasty behavior it enables.

There's no reason for the US to bring the conflict to the military arena. China's economy is heavily dependent on the US and Europe. The average Zhang San is not going to appreciate losing his job and the government knows it.
Don't recall if I ever met the author of this blog post personally, but his boss/roommate mentioned this particular application to me several times over several months. I was thousands of miles away from SF but it came up repeatedly in casual conversations and after leaving SpaceX he seemed to genuinely believe he had a shot of selling this product to SpaceX as an internal tool. He always juggled lots of projects and besides this SpaceX idea, I remember him telling me 2 weeks before the arrest about another unrelated project he was trying to get a team together for so he could apply to Y Combinator. Never once did I hear anything hinting at involvement with the Silk Road, but he always talked about a million ideas at once. Anyone who knew him for long knew that he traveled a lot for years and years (back in 2010 he was the first person I knew who jumped on Jet Blue's special offer of a month of unlimited travel for only $600), so the author would've realized that was routine if he knew him for long. I do find the author's story very plausible.

When I say web development, I am really talking about web application development. The same skills that apply to a native developer apply to a web developer.

On the design pattern side, MVVM and MVC are integral to modern web development. Inversion of control and delegates are used in many JavaScript frameworks in server side frameworks like Node and .NET

Knowing about different search algorithms comes in handy, as does knowledge of data structures and encoding. With understanding basic CS fundamentals, you can better understand how the framework is doing things under the hood and make informed decisions with how to proceed with a given implementation. It also really helps with troubleshooting when things go wrong.
The thing that gets me most excited about VR is how ready everyone will be for AR.
It's not an outdated stereotype. There are fundamental differences between eastern and western cultures. Individualistic vs collectivist, guilt based vs shame based.

The very fact that English has the expression "Lose Face" is because it was translated from Chinese and imported into the language in the 19th century[0].

As someone that's also written hundreds of thousands of lines of assembly with macros I don't really see the comparison. Lisp macros are written in lisp itself. You can create complicated data structures, interate over loops, do file io, query databaes, access the network, whatever you want at compile time in lisp where as assembly language macros were never much more complicated than then the C preprocessor. I certaibly did tons of creative things with assembly language macros but they aren't remotely similar to lisp macros.

As for perf, 7 very popular and performant games were written in Lisp. Crash Bandicoot 1, 2, 3 as well as Jak and Daxter 1, 2, 3 and Racing.

I also got a new win10 HP laptop and new gaming win10 desktop recently, but has different experiences.

I absolutely hate the constant force update/reboot from Win10 and the huge amount background / network activities/connections.

After most of the win10 background networks connections are blocked and force update/reboot is disabled with Windows firewall, the system are usable now.

I tried and found the new Linux subsystem not useful at all. Real Linux inside virtualbox worked much better for my own use.

Searching the net with firefox/google is much faster than Cortana. I found and installed the 8 year old discontinued "Google Desktop Search" Windows App and it can search files in my location system with 100 times better results and so much faster than latest Cortana/SearchUI.

Visual Studio 2015 is just huge complex monster. Took hours to download and install. I tried download a few popular opensource packages (Python, winscp, ... etc) and used VS2015 community edition to build - all failed to build for one reason or another.

Well, there's the whole issue of harm. If I upload porn to a place where I intend for people to download it, and they do, how does that harm me? (Especially if my stuff wasn't paying me anything for legal downloads.) If I am harmed, didn't I contribute to my own harm by uploading it there myself?

Then there's the issue of misrepresenting/lying to the court. The court doesn't like this kind of game (trying to entrap people into a situation where you can sue them), so they repeatedly lied to the court in order to make it look like "not this kind of game". The court really doesn't like being lied to.

You're not a horrible advocate. But the devil is still the devil.

My building is currently undergoing a renovation and we still have private offices.

To support your point: a number of people have voluntarily taken over a former conference room to turn it into an open space office.

Personally I have worked in both and don't find one better or worse than the other. I actually value sunlight, direct or indirect, more than the layout.
What I didn't do in your situation - should have done - was to stick up for myself. Now, "sticking up" can take several forms, and the trick is to do it appropriately.

If you're too gentle, the other party might not understand that you have concerns, might not respect them as important, or might be able to pretend not to know about them.

If you're too emphatic, you risk exceeding the bounds of professionalism yourself.

Do stand up for yourself. Don't bully her.
Care to explain what you mean with issues regarding media playback?
One of the things I loved in Linux was the ability to swap out the "window manager", the program that takes app's windows, draws decorations like title bar and window borders around them, and arranges them on the screen. I had fun with Compiz, I fiddled with Enlightenment, and I finally settled for Awesome because I decided Tiling Was The Best (tm).

If I understand correctly from following the Gnome and KWin blogs, in Wayland it looks like the "window management" job is with the Compositor, which takes on a lot more of the display and input work that was traditionally handled by the X Server. So there's much more complexity to handle there. This would mean that we're unlikely to see the proliferation of WM experiments that X saw.

Is this a correct assessment?

(I'm personally waiting for a good tiling window manager/compositor to show up with Wayland before I make the swtich)
I really hate throwing out analogies, but the closest I could think of is the "unlocked front door". If FTV, the producer of the video, shared themselves or allowed someone to share in their behalf a video that they produced in order to bait people to download that, then I would agree that they did nothing illegal. Leaving my door unlocked is not illegal.

But they went further, by allowing people to download the video they then exploited the legal system by not charging the people who walked through that front door looking for things to take with robbery, but merely blackmailed those people into paying them money to remain silent, or else they would "publicly" press charges. That is what they are being accused and apparently charged for.

Sure, don't download illegally shared porn, music, movies or tv shows. But if you do download that content illegally, you also have a right not not be blackmailed for the action. Two wrongs do not make a right.
Look for another job, be as cooly professional as possible in the meantime and DON'T TAKE THE BAIT.
I understand the limitations of current ML systems. That is why I mentioned 'a critical component'. Given that humans may use pattern recognition methods broadly similar in principle to deep neural nets, the conjecture is not without merit.

As far as I can remember no (Smalltalk was long time ago for me, 1995).

But I think there is already quite a few things possible via messages and metaclasses, even if one cannot do actual AST transformations.

After all, the whole image is accessible, so you can dynamically ask any object for its definition, or even compiled code (bytecode or JIT) and change them.
I use WSL inside Cmder/Conemu. It's probably not as good as a "true" Linux terminal, but I found it to be better than using the Windows console (which to be honest, became much better in Windows 10, but still not enough). With Cmder, at least I can have tabs...
Agreed, and I often ponder on how much that counts for any NSA employee, and I find that a frightening thought.
I'd say it depends on a lot of factors such as local culture, company culture (or team culture for larger companies), etc. So just saying 'there is no point' is probably not an answer.

Oh, I thought where you wrote,

>I work in marketing, "creative" is used for pretty much any kind of ad/marketing product while in the production process.

that it was limited to ads. I didn't realize it would also be used for other things.

> the "ad" is in reference to both the creative element on its own and the mechanism that puts it there.

This is interesting, thanks. But what I was trying to get at, is to make sure you guys aren't confusing each other, are you careful to use 'creative' instead of 'ad' (since the latter can include the mechanism)? Or is this not a distinction you're careful about?

I'll give you an example - programmers are careful to say "binary" or "executable" if they want to talk about the program as compiled as opposed to as written (source code).

so is "creative" also something that you would use to be careful to distinguish the "creative element on its own" as opposed to the mechanism?

It sounds like your answer is yes, that's correct - I'd just like to get a confirmation.
I'm sorry you have to deal with being harassed and find your self in an uncomfortable environment daily. I have dealt with this kind of behavior in the past working for several large companies, and as a quiet person that likes to keep to myself I have always had problems dealing with power dynamics. You have a few options.

1. Find a new Job then quit. This may sound like hard advice to take, but if you are in a position and you feel like the structure of the company creates an environment were a person being victimized has no recourse, do you really want to work there anyway? It's always hard to quit a job but finding a new job first will make it much easier, and it will be easier to find a new job now that you are currently employed and have experience. ( I've done this )

2. Find a new job and then talk to HR. If HR does not act to stop the harassment then you can threaten to quit. If you come under retaliation then you can quit. Be sure you have an actual job offer before you threaten to quit, employers will often taken you up on that threat.

3. Talk to the person in a personal way. Explain that you want to be friends and explain how their actions are negatively impacting you. I've found that many people play power dynamics games in an unconscious/impersonal way. They either don't know that they are doing anything to distress you or largely consider it "part of the game". In any case when rational people are faced with the consequences of their actions they often change their behavior.

Good luck and may God bless you.
Tk UIs will never be acceptably native as long as scrollbars remain a separate control from the thing being scrolled. This stops OSes deciding where the scrollbars should go based on input device and locale.

On OSX in particular, Tk UIs always stick out like a sore thumb for this reason, even with TTK.

From my following of the ADA abuse, which is fairly rampant and basically equivalent to these two, the only real solution is getting a lawyer designated as a vexatious litigant[0] which is a very high standard to reach. I'm not sure if every state even has such a designation.

You're not wrong, but the increasingly imperialist tone of public discourse is a reflection of reality as well as a driver of it. My basic read of the world situation is that financialization and globalization have brought a tremendous increase in economic capability but also created massive internal political stresses within many countries - not least the USA - through the abruptness of the disruption.

Historically, countries often deal with internal strife by going to war with someone else, and it's probably been this way since the first cell dealt with an uncomfortable pH balance by squirting caustic goo at a neighboring cell. Almost nobody wants a full-on nuclear exchange but I think some sort of world war is inevitable because peaceful competition has created a lot of losers as well as winners, in both psychic and economic terms. Once about 10% of a population is sufficiently pissed off, strife is inevitable and the only question that remains is how it will manifest..

Your definition defines it as an uncountable noun (like bread - a slice of bread - a loaf of bread, not "give me two breads").

But below in this thread I asked for example usages and the person I asked said:

>"We have to work on the creatives to show to the client next week."

That does not match the definition you just linked.

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/creative#Noun

it says "creatives" are people "some of the creative" (and the like) would be the things. It explicitly calls it uncountable in that definition. So does the wiktionary entry need expnasion, or was the example usage I received, wrong?
Love the implicit human narrative.
A counter-argument is that fewer options helps consumers actually choose something that's good enough rather than debating and hand-wringing over their choice. Costco is pretty good at this.

Some of these recruiters were pretty old themselves. The had a number of justifications for perpetuating the institution of prejudice. Most common were "don't hate the player, hate the game" excuses.

They were just working within the system, they don't have any ability to affect the system

Hiring managers aren't going to work with us if we send them candidates they are prejudiced against. They'll just work with someone else, or run their own ads, and they'll still be prejudiced.

Interviewing with that person would be a a waste of the candidate's time, and they wouldn't want to work for someone like that anyway.

Some of the recruiters didn't have justifications, since they didn't feel it was wrong. They just felt they were getting their. Their attitude was pretty much that's the way the cookie crumbles / them's the breaks.

PSA: Don't use .dev for development
Please don't post like this here, no matter what sort of thread we're in.
Whoops, sorry.
Please don't take this as confrontational, but maybe there is a point that you are missing, that maybe you have made an error in your assessment of what happened, of what people's actual motives are. I genuinely feel like you are unnecessarily secretive about the details of this. Of course there often are details that must be kept secret for various reasons, but my intuition is suggesting otherwise.

Personally, I don't just take someone at their word. As they say, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, in this case you seem reluctant to give any evidence. Can't you see how that might make some people a little suspicious, especially if they've observed this sort of thing before?

Fedora doesn't have rgba lcdfilter by default, due to Cleartype patents. It does have antialiasing.

You can resolve that by installing freetype-freeworld package (which has exactly the same freetype library, just with one #define flipped), that is offered by some repositories, or you can get a HiDPI display. Which, if the reading/writing text is important to you, you will want anyway.

It's the kind of thing that's largely up to personal preference, people that spent a long time with Windows font rendering have a hard time adjusting to the old Freetype2. The newest Freetype2 integrated the infinality patches which make the rendering much easier on the eyes for those people.

Distrowatch says Fedora 25 uses an older Freetype2, I think the patches are available to toggle on.

This thread illustrates the mechanics of the fake news phenomenon quite well. Post is literally fiction, and half the comments are responding to the story's title alone, as if it were headlining an opinion piece.
> If the machine is silently compromised, moving the private key one step away doesn't matter much; kryptonite will serve the signature regardless, and the attacker can cherry pick the active session keys. Yes, it's a partial break, but given the fact that the private key can be stolen from the phone too, using kryptonite just increased the attack surface overall.

Malware with root-level privileges can hijack any sessions signed by Kryptonite (this is true for any HSM or two-factor solution), but the same malware could not, say, connect to every machine your key has access to. If malware does not have root privileges, it cannot steal session keys and would have to request signatures of its own. One of the main benefits is pulling the private key out of a directory that any running process, malware or not, can read.

>Offering no private key backup isn't a simple matter of 'just reupload your public key'. This works for services that have parallel user/pwd backup, but it stops there.

We are working on the best way to allow users to backup keys, but of course backing up a key reduces its security to the security of the backup. Generally, servers are accessible by more than one person and someone that still has access can upload your new public key. If your key was the only one, then ideally that infrastructure can be rotated easily.

>How do you stop the auto upload of the key to Apple/Google if the user has a global app data backup sync?

On iOS, we store the key with the `kSecAttrAccessibleAfterFirstUnlockThisDeviceOnly` accessibility constant (described https://developer.apple.com/reference/security/ksecattracces...), such that the key is never backed up to iCloud.
On Android (which will be available soon), we store the key in the AndroidKeystore and disable backup.

As another software developer, I haven't noticed or cared about fonts in about 20 years. 20 years ago font rendering was sometimes bad. The last 20 years? I guess not or I would have noticed. Seems like whatever the defaults are on Fedora+Awesome, they're fine.

Fedora does not ship with many popular codecs (mp3 decoding is a new thing in F25, decoding h.264 was new in F24). Third party repositories do offer the codecs, but Fedora project itself does not.
