They are a business, doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing.

It's up to us to find a way to kill google and take back our internet.

Edit, i love the downvotes for this. Google is legally required to act in their shareholders best interests. You all should understand fiduciary duty. They are building long term value for a massive (and growing) customer segment at the expense of a relatively small base of idealist tech users. Its morally reprehensible but still the correct decision in today's business climate.

Except that messaging services are useless if the people you want to talk to don't use them. If all the people you want to talk to share your prioritization of freedom & privacy above everything else, then you're probably ok using a federated, self-run XMPP style messaging system.

Unfortunately, for the vast majority of people, that just isn't the case. I would love it if I could use XMPP-based services to talk to everyone I care to talk to, but, in practice, I use 8 different messaging services, and all of them are walled-garden non-XMPP services.

In the end, the people I know who care about privacy and security communicate with me using Signal (can count that number on one hand), and the rest use one of the others.

You can say and wish all you want that popularity and money are secondary, but in the world we actually live in, they're #1. I expect that won't change until and unless something horrible happens and "regular people" have their privacy compromised in a way that causes them real, tangible, extreme harm.

Usually, porting it to an improved version of the engine.

When the game is in development the engine is branched and changes happen to accommodate the new game, if you are good about keeping the engine separate from the game then the branch is just to keep things stable, but you'll always have to customise it a little.

Your engine team keep working on the engine for new games, graphics improve, optimisations for new hardware, lighting, etc;etc;etc;

What you need to do is go through all the old content and ensure it has higher resolution bitmaps for all textures, and then port it to the new engine. It sounds simple, but it's really not.

Anecdotally, I swear a lot, but my parents never did when I was growing up, at least in front of me. I started swearing like a sailor pretty young and I've never really stopped. I swear a lot in the workplace. My relationship with my parents has relaxed a lot over the years, and we enjoy swearing somewhat gratuitously in each other's company.

Some more anecdata: I realize that when I am in the company of strangers or acquaintances, a bit of casual swearing goes a long way to create a relaxed, open environment. I've had some pretty candid conversations with otherwise very serious people that I otherwise would have been very nervous or apprehensive about.

An important point you seem to be missing, is that stuff that are not free but deemed a necessity (e.g.: family doctor consultation, drugs...) are capped. What they are allowed to charge at most is decided by law (in exchange, they get to control how many people gets to go to (~free) Medical School every year -- it's far from ideal, but not a terrible balance).

I wonder sometimes if the reason GIMP development doesn't surpass other options is simply not having enough developers, having a user base that is more art centered than programming centered, and having a somewhat bottlenecked development culture. These could just be perceptions. I am hoping that when the transition to GEGL is fully implemented, there will be an acceleration. Its hard to use it for serious work. The stable branch is still 8bit :/
I like the idea of a NN library with a focus on very fast graph construction.

Reading about this makes me want to use the library for model-selection in the beginning; and switch to TensorFlow later once a good model is found. The Chainer library mentioned also looks interesting; I think I've seen a few other people using it.

I like that it shares some of TensorFlow's backend, though I wonder if it's only for CPU:

"In order to achieve efficient execution of arithmetic operations,DyNet relies on the Eigen [28] library, which is also used to provide the backend for TensorFlow"

Also, you won't get it as an uneducated working class family. The background of a huge debt family usually results in an above-average income for the offspring.

He, it's a bit funny your last remark, unless it's tongue in cheek on purpose. It's akin to say "I have mixed feelings about crashing with my car. On one hand I got to my destination really fast, on the other hand I died."

The downside of AMP seems to me so comically larger than the upside that this should be much more a black-or-white issue than it currently is. Good that they are moving to fixing it, but very bad that this thing exists as it is right now in the first place.

Yes, that what people usually says, but the article says exactly the contrary.

Anyway I don't see why it makes more sense to make readings everyday and make an average on the last n, then use this average to make a continuous set of decisions.
What you are probably thinking, is about making one decision, like "do I have to diet or not?". It is also the case if someone is only slightly interested in her/his weight, for me I weight in exactly the same conditions everyday. I told it in the previous post, it's a bit hugly on the social side, it has to be an obsession to make it work.

My main question everyday is: How my weight relate to last day meals, and there is a very close correlation, that why it is so useful to weight often.

> Are you trying to imply that Syrians and Tunisians have NO positive economic impact?

Why is this comment dead? It was more or less my point, which that a lot of unqualified migrants, mostly from Africa and Asia, has no positive economic impact, since we have NOTHING to offer to them (no job, no future). So I am opposed to more unqualified migrants coming for economic reasons. Syrian refugees, on the other hand, I think we should help them.

Facebook Product Ads Simplified: A Step by Step Guide to Getting Started
I've been thinking of this problem ever since Google started serving up different search results for each person (which was a whole lot of years ago).

Sure in the beginning it adapts (according to some unknown algorithm) to what you feed it (in best case scenario who you are). I would however suggest that most people here are like me in that they every day try to learn and become less of an idiot, and thus incrementally grow as a person. I'm not the same person I was 10 years ago, and if I can't control how services see me (through my 10 year old history of my accounts), it will try to reinforce the me from 10 years ago, instead of showing me incrementally different results for the me I want to be tomorrow.

I'm sorry if this rant is confusing, I'm not sure how to coherently convey what I mean, but I'll try a TLDR;

If services only show you results/content based on how you were before, and force you onto a straight path (or rather, not even moving forward), isn't that what gets people stuck in echo chambers with only reinforcing information, never challenged, never growing?

Count me as one Photoshop user who avoids GIMP because it lacks non-destructive editing. Photoshop had Adjustment Layers since 1996, and using them is a widely accepted best practice. It is hard to imagine a valid reason why GIMP developers have taken so long to implement them.

Tone.js: creating interactive music in the browser
I swear in certain contexts, especially when I'm using a computer, and I find this statement utterly ridiculous. There are many reasons why people might prefer not to swear - how you were brought up; because you think it exhibits a certain sense of self-control; because you take delight in using circumlocutory expressions which avoid swearing (I'd be more interested, frankly, in a speaker who says "unmitigated bunkum" than one who says "bullshit"); because you work in a context in which swearing is inappropriate... To say that all of those reasons make people "priggish" or, worse, untrustworthy is just very silly.

Edit. It seems my brevity has caused some people to miss my point (or maybe not). I am lamenting the huge loss of life that flowed from the Great War that was fought trying to prevent the creation of the EU.

On a personal note my great uncle died in the Great War and the effect this had on my family is still with with us to this day.
Interestingly, I used to believe that until I discussed with a French founder, who confirmed that yes, there is a lot of bullshit paperwork. On the other hand, you can benefit from your (public) unemployement insurance as a founder. In other word, you can willingly quit a previous job and keep on benefiting from a substantial chunk of money for a few months/year. Along with health benefits and all the other "free" stuff you get.

It seriously hedges your personal risk.
I don't know, as someone who moved from GIMP to Photoshop a long time ago I never saw that as being the reason it was/is(in my opinion) inferior. It has plenty of features - more than enough. What it never had was as good of a user interface and user experience. It always felt clunky and awkward by comparison.

If I were to give them one additional project member it wouldn't be a developer. It would be a product owner who uses Photoshop daily.
> South Korea remained the big winner, topping the international charts in R&D intensity, value-added manufacturing and patent activity and with top-five rankings in high-tech density, higher education and researcher concentration

None of these are really all that relevant to true innovation. As a European, it's clear to me that no country comes even close to the US in terms of innovation. Almost all really new technologies come out of the US.
It works really well, I have been using it for about 2 years. The only two minor problems I found so far:

1. when you start it up from launcher, it doesn't show up in the foreground, so you have to click the icon again

2. if you have multiple monitors and you plug out the monitor with the gimp window it sometimes crashes. It doesn't happen every time, but as I precaution I first move the Gimp window to the other monitor before disconnecting.
So by this thinking, no "business" co founder is a builder, because they don't build software.

That is potentially very bad news.

I fear that from now on the Python API will be the best documented API used by most example code, and the low level API will over time become something obscure that is hard to approach and badly documented, just like Torch's C API.

I don't like this split between a core system written in C or C++ and a high level API written in a language that's too slow and memory hungry to write the core system in.

This architecture is probably meant to reflect an existing split between users and implementors of the system and I can understand the arguments in favor. But I think it also creates and reinforces that split, which isn't a good thing at all.

We were actually looking into moving to TensorFlow from Torch because the Torch C API is considered an internal thing not meant for public consumption.
GIMP indeed just is always there, on all platforms. As a developer my needs are quite modest: editing screenshots, juggling graphics assets, etc. But I do use GIMP at least weekly, and it always delivers. Big thanks for the developers.

To be honest I didn't know about pontoon before, which is surprising given that, like Parrot, it's a localization tool and by Mozilla. I guess I should do more research before starting a new project :)

But after checking it out quickly, it seems to me that its main focus is in-place translation for web projects (I could be wrong).

Parrot is mainly a tool to help you manage your translations for various projects, no specific platform is targeted. It comes with a REST API (useful for loading translation updates for mobile apps/games for example) and role based contributions. It's meant for small/medium multidisciplinary teams, so no features for crowd-sourced translations are provided.

Basically it was built out of the need for such a tool at my current company (gaming industry, multi-platform projects). We wanted it on premises, open-source and a web-UI for editing so that people from different disciplines can use it.
