We're separating the upstream open-source project, and the downstream open-source product under 2 different names, because a lot of people in the open-source community asked us to.

It's a common concern in the free software community that having an open-source project too tightly coupled to a single company's product is a bad thing. Moving the upstream open-source project into Moby, and keeping the downstream open-source product into Docker, solves that problem.
An important point about owning the franchise real estate: a rental agreement is far stronger for the landowner than a franchise agreement is for a franchiser. The McDonald's franchise agreement specifies the address the franchise must be located. In effect, McDonald's can cancel a franchise agreement by ending the rental agreement. This gives them enormous power to enforce company-wide standards on cleanliness and mandate suppliers. Other chains (eg: Burger King) do not own the majority of their franchise properties and have had more significant problems with enforcing franchise standards.

They seem to have an incredibly effective marketing strategy. The launch trailers for both of their flagship graphics editors were super sexy.

But are all the features really there?

I watched a few videos of people using it about half a year ago and I noticed that a) a few essential features were missing and b) the interfaces have limited room for customization, and they are split up across several "workflow" views that really just get in the way.

Does that mirror your own experience? Have you used other vector drawing programs like Inkscape, Illustrator, or Blender?
Hey fellow Albertan. Keep in mind the USD/CAD exchange and that $90k here becomes $60kUSD.

The developers I know that are worth their chops have all taken remote US contracts. I'm looking to do the same because local companies just can't compete with the work available nor wage.

I am pretty sure you are misunderstanding the comment.

The comment is not "By signing up for Quantopian, you pay a membership fee to Quantopian, which is run by large trading firms."

The comment is "Large trading firms make money by being the counterparty of day traders making mistakes." When you mess up - which isn't just losing USD, it is underperforming the market's usually-positive return - there is someone out there on the other side of the trade who is buying what you sold and selling what you bought. When you underperform the market, they overperform the market by exactly as much.

I was (briefly) part of a BBS "movie" group that made movies using "Commodore 64 Graphics" which were actually just made using the C64's unique character set. It would record back every cursor movement and character change, so you could make a really cheesy animation that often turned out to be really fun to watch.

You'd actually have to add delays by moving the cursor to allow enough time to read the captions/speech bubbles. It was pretty funny because it would be much slower on a 300 baud modem vs. a 2400 baud, so you had to be careful how you tuned your delays.

Why would you ever use a EC card instead of a credit card? Credit card companies literally pay you to use their cards. Why turn down that money?

I carry two credit cards because one is American Express and pays me more but fewer places accept it, so I have a backup Visa that pays me a bit less but everywhere accepts it.
That's similar to the criticism that Ayn Rand collected at Social Security check. I think you can stand for a principle while still participating in the current system that you're paying for.
Lol at your comment. Why is what Mr. Nye said outlandish at all? Who cares that he's a media personality, climate change and sea level rise is undeniable scientific fact. At this point we're just arguing about whether humans caused it or not.

That miniseries is terrible. The acting is wooden as all get out, all of the scenes look like they are shot on a hastily dressed community theater stage and it's boring as hell.

The Lynch movie has, like most Lynch works, a strange atmosphere that in this case helps highlight the changes that Paul is going through as his consciousness expands.

That said the children of dune miniseries fares much better, but maybe because there isn't anything to compare it to.

Those stats are wrong. The project has grown massively since 2014 and continues to grow. My guess is that you are looking at the stats for a single repo, when we have broken up the project (and its contribution flow) into many smaller repos.

To answer your question: we think this move will accelerate the growth of the project, because it addresses the two most common concerns from contributors: 1) that the project is too monolithic, and 2) that it's too tied to the Docker product and company.

>No need to wait for an H1-B, just show up at the border with job offer & credentials in hand, assuming you've graduated college. TN visas are instant and infinitely renewable.

This is false. I say this as someone with a TN visa, which I use to visit my employer a few times a year.

The TN application process is onerous and takes weeks to confirm. The actual visa is indeed granted at the port of entry but can be denied - simply having the completed application doesn't guarantee anything. And you have to go through the complete application process every time you re-apply. There is no renewal application.

The best way to get it done is to work for BigCorp, Inc. whose team of lawyers will handle it for you. If you work for a smaller company or are a contractor/consultant, you'll have to hire a lawyer for a few grand. I know because I've been there too.
I noticed the limited resolution, as well.

If you are looking for real "archival" imaging, this app probably won't suffice.

On the other hand, it's nice to have on your phone to grab the occasional image e.g. from a picture on the wall behind glass or something similar. As another commenter mentions, maybe to grab an old photograph out of an album and put it on Facebook or the like.

Users should also note, its cropping is not always accurate -- larger contrasts produce better results. But, after it grabs its initial image, you can adjust the cropping -- including outward, to the limit of what was initially imaged.

P.S. I have a Nexus 5x. I'm guessing the app may work relatively well for me also because I'm using a phone that the Google developers are particularly likely to specifically support and have used/tested against.

Since this appears to be a small project -- maybe a 20%-er or the like? -- at a guess, results may vary significantly depending upon phone and camera module. At a guess -- I've no idea.

JSON is to XML what ___ is to SVG. What is in the blank?

It's not exciting or clever, but HTML5 Canvas fills in that blank.

It'a a minimal API that was designed by Apple to be just good enough to make Mac OS X 10.4 desktop widgets possible to implement in JavaScript. Canvas has a straightforward mapping to the big platform 2D APIs -- CoreGraphics, Cairo, Direct2D. The bitmap data interfaces are an ugly but in practice mostly satisfactory escape hatch when you need to draw something the API doesn't include.

Both SVG and CSS are failed specs in my mind due to what you succinctly describe as "incredible complexity without matching expressivity". The difference is that CSS doesn't have an alternative, so everyone tries to live with it.

I find Pico Iyer's writing insufferable and this is a good example why: how, exactly, do random interactions with the Japanese equivalent of a spoiled trust-fund kid who can afford to spend his life noodling about with haiku and abstract painting show the "living heart of traditional Japan"?

Then again, given that Iyer can't read Japanese despite living there for several decades and he seems to take perverse pride in being illiterate [1], he's not going have a lot of other local sources for insight...

After canceling my pre-order in November I had hoped I was wrong about their future. However it seems that chasing more and more features (massive scope creep since the initial product) while being behind the curve on basics such as chip and pin was just too much for them to overcome.

"But I hate working with broken tools.

Do I keep trying to fix it, or do I throw it away?"

At some point, I think we need a redesign for vectorgraphics on the web from scratch, as I don't think SVG can really be "fixed" - it is just too complex and weird in the base.

But I guess no one is willing to spend much money on that right now, after the core of svg finally works (mostly).
And since it is there right now and working, it won't go away so fast, as there is no alternative - yet.

So I would keep working with it, but maybe start to collect and share ideas on how to do things nicely from scratch ...

Coding. This deserves way more recognition than it gets.

It's a shame that humorous comments are so consistently downvoted here. Are we all supposed to be post-laughter now or something?
Silly or not, but it's still very common mindset with scientific-oriented people (who care about ML, econometrics, statistics and such much more than "programming" per se), who form a quite notable category of Python users. Actually, for me they are the reason why I'm still using Python a lot (although I try to stick to 3.x), because for other use-cases, like scripting or web-dev I mostly (but not completely) moved to other languages.

In my humble opinion, emacs is much closer by default.

There are a couple of things which I think could make the default config simpler:

- Enable global-subword-mode by default.

- Enable delete-selection-mode by default.

With that, and maybe adding multiple-cursors to the default distribution (with a little bit more refinement) and I could use it out of the box. I would still probably set up colours, and I like my fonts really tiny, but those would be a matter of customization.

One other thing maybe is making M-x customize more discoverable. I think for a lot of users (including myself sometimes) it is sometimes simpler to search for an option by what you think it should be called, and select one of the known good values than it is to write the elisp expression for it.
I really like my hosted email because it's not on my computer. I love offline software, but it all sucks for security. Dropbox, Evernote, Outlook, etc. They all just dump my data in a folder anyone with physical access to my very stealable laptop can get at. Email is especially terrifying because there's just so much personal info in there. I have evernote and dropbox sitting in a bitlocker, so that's okay-ish, but the email thing is just too much.
Wrong in this case means using violence when it was not necessary.

This seems to be the standard that you're using to condemn the passenger. Why are you not applying that standard to United as well?

Note that, if we accept that violence is acceptable to remove a noncompliant passenger, then violence was chosen (at least as a potential outcome) the moment that United decided to remove people involuntarily.

Why do you insist that "it is" childish behavior from a professional adult, exclusively and ignore the behavior of the airline, which brought violence into a situation that did not call for it?

This is why I don't say that you're wrong, but that you are being extremely one-sided. You continue to attack the passenger's behavior while ignoring or outright justifying the airline's behavior.

The passenger should have complied, and the airline should never have put themselves in a position where they might have needed to threaten force. Do you not agree?

If you do agree, then understand that people focus more on the airline for some really good reasons, namely that they started it, and they wield all of the power. We place more responsibility on entities which start something than those who merely respond, and more responsibility on entities with power than those without.

>A lot of technologists I meet are socially and culturally illiterate and do not seem competent to implement such systems

And who are you to make such a judgement?

What about the case that fear of bias is used as a tool of control? Perhaps in such a society, these "culturally illiterate" developers would be better suited to create a more minimally biased system.
In their non-defense, they also promised accountability and transparency. If you are one signature away from bankruptcy, you may want to be transparent about that, before taking un-refundable preorders.

Many miners require a minimum fee-per-byte for including a transaction in their memory pool of transactions awaiting inclusion in a block. So they would for instance ignore a transaction of B bytes if its fee is less than B * 100 satoshi (at 10^-8 BTC, the smallest unit of account).
Then the miner will often find that its entire memory pool fits inside the 1MB block limit, and the knapsack problem disappears (still leaving the NP-hard conflict resolution problem).

With regards to your proposed solution... I've often wondered how it is not considered fraudulent to overbook a flight already.

Isn't the act of overbooking akin to writing a check for an amount of money that you do not have in your account balance? If this can be considered fraud, why do the airlines get a break?
