Meh. It's such a personal thing: I never found it particularly bothersome.

People talk up how hard winters are (and let's be honest - we all prefer temperate temperatures) but good clothing goes a long, long way in your maintaining winter comfort. A good windproof jacket, warm socks, waterproof boots, long johns, and warm hat and gloves go a long way. Get good at layering and things get a lot easier.

I find winters in New York harder to deal with: I have to dress warmly for the outside, and everyone seems to set the heat to "roasting" inside. Weird.

Here is the "ultimate" OSX ls that I found on the internet some time ago:

Of course that is too much information sometimes, so I kept a vanilla ls too:

It still is "all the rage" for a lot of companies who have invested a lot of money to push this UI. What you're seeing here is backlash from people who are forced to use it and found it lacking. The only people who like it are businesses who paid for it and want to force people to use it.

> Being closed for free doesn't mean it isn't open source for those that pay.

True, but...

> This was a common model before FOSS took off and it is still quite common in enterprise products.

No, it wasn't and it's not. “Shared source” for paying customers was common before Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) took off (“Free” doesn't modify “Open Source”, they are essentially synonyms that identify the same license features but which are preferred by different ideological factions that prefer those features for different reasons.) Shared source does include access to the source, and it may include some rights to create derivatives (usually with no or restricted distribution rights), but it is not open source.
Going a little sideways it's not like at any Call Center you usually get to talk (without having first gone through all their standard "script" and possibly become upset and manage to escalate to a higher level of support) with someone that actually can provide you with assistance beyond what is already on the FAQ of the correspondent site.

(provided the site FAQ's are actually frequently asked questions and not - as often happens - a bunch of questions that the original website developer jolted down because he/she imagined they will be asked and that noone actually updates with "real" questions asked by customers).

So you get to talk with a human, but very often this human is either clueless or cannot really do anything about the issue at hand. (not of course fault of the human, but rather of the way he/she was mis-trained or because of directives coming from the company)

Exactly. It’s an abstraction, you will always be a few libraries and components away from implementing what you actually want, but that’s a lot to build on just to use a system provided tool. For instance, I’m working on upgrading my company’s app to use iOS 11’s new password auto fill APIs. All it needs is for you to set the UITextField’s contentType properly to one of a dozen enumerated values, in this case Username and Password. React Native doesn’t expose that propertie on the TextField component however, so I have to either build my own extension on top of the TextField component or form the React Native project and submit a PR to get this feature working, a feature that’s explicitly supposed to be painless to implement. There are so many cases like this around React Native, the community mindset is usually just to find another dependency to integrate.

I totally understand the sentiment, Alvy Ray's paper feels anachronistic and perhaps too pushy, but I think it's still more right and more applicable that you're allowing.

The real point of the paper is that a pixel is a sample in a band-limited signal, not something that covers area. That's still just as true today, no matter what camera or display, no matter what pixel shape you're using. The point behind the paper still stands, even if the shape turns out to be a square, so we shouldn't get too hung up on the title and language railing against a square specifically.

While true that display pixels are more square today than when it was written, that's only one minor piece of the puzzle. Because we're talking about image resizing, there are multiple separate filters to consider, and for resizing it would be bad to treat pixels as squares even if you can.

If a camera's pixels are little squares, and we want to sample and then resize that image, our choice of resize filter needs to account for the little squares. We can't use a lanczos filter at all, we'd have to use something else entirely.

The big problem you have is that a sampled signal is band limited, and we treat them as perfectly band-limited. We have a body of knowledge about how to use and reason around perfectly band-limited signals, we don't have a strong image resizing theory for sampled data that is made of high-frequency samples.

If you don't convert to an ideal band-limited signal during initial sampling, then you'd have to keep the kernel shape with the image as some kind of meta data, and you'd have to use that during image resizes. If we don't have a perfectly band-limited signal, then our resize filter will always be larger than the ideal resize filter, and resizes with square pixels will take longer than resizes with band-limited point samples.

> The paper's arguments about coordinate systems are also a waste of time for the modern reader.

I'm curious why? These are still issues if you write a ray tracer, or if you mix DOM and WebGL in the same app. The paper was written for what was the SIGGRAPH going audience -- professors and Ph.D. Students -- at the time, which were all graphics researchers just learning about signal processing theory for the first time. Graphics textbooks today still cover Y-up vs Y-down for images and 0.5 offsets for pixels.

Interesting. That's also been my experience so it's good to hear confirmation. It seems the be consistent with the posts I've read on how "rank" is calculated.

I wonder what the penalty is for "re-posting", especially because timing seems to be key. You post at 8:30AM and get very few looks from your target audience, and then post again at 10AM and coincidentally reach a large amount of your target audience.

I wonder where the line is drawn between "spam" and "persistence"...

> When you're filling a signup form, you instantly know what information they'll need from you. You can decide if you're comfortable sharing them before you engage in filling it.

If only that were true! The trend is to ask for a little bit info at a time, then take you to the next page where it asks for other info, and so on. You don't see at a glance the whole form anymore.

I resort to filling in fake info on sign-up forms, order pages, employment applications, airline/hotel reservations, etc., just to find out what questions they'll ask so I can decide whether to refuse before I tell them anything.

And also to find out key information they tell you only at the end (sales tax, shipping cost, etc.).

I think the pricing starts at $19k/yr for a 10-node cluster (so $1900/yr/node). That's what I was given as "list price" when I asked, we are not using 10 nodes yet, but I anticipated that we'll need paid support before we are, and Tectonic is one of the only games in town.

I'd guess you can negotiate that down somewhat, especially if your shop has some expertise in-house already (if you're not anticipating a lot of need or demand for their support team's help on a regular basis.) We compared this to RedHat+AWS OpenShift Dedicated which is priced significantly higher at $12000 for 4 nodes, on a per-node basis, but also OpenShift Dedicated has already built-in the cost of hosting the nodes.
I really like Gitlab.

It allows you to organize your repos, and do things like nesting them in categories.

Why Github won't add this feature is beyond my understanding, and I really appreciate Gitlab stepping up and adding this into their platform.

They also have a great system for migrating your repos over from Github.

Why is it a new use of technology? I seem to remember chatbots being around in the 90's... or am I imagining things?

Of course, they sucked, and people said "they will get better and eventually get better than humans." I don't see what has changed in that regard.

Maybe the assertion is still true, but despite advances in NLP and other areas of ML, it hasn't seem to have improved the bots, or their associated customer experience.

This seems unlikely, based on a past experience writing software for a nuclear facility.

While nothing is unassailable, everything I experienced made me feel generally better about the approach these people took to safety. They wouldn't allow people to use spreadsheets to make decisions... literally this was not allowed, you had to have an app with testing and verification systems. Also, they pointed large automatic weapons at me while searching every crevice of my car, using long sticks with mirrors and various other instruments. It was a relief to see that they take security and reliability more seriously than any other kind of outfit I've worked for, ever. The monitoring had monitoring.

“the community mindset is usually just to find another dependency to integrate.”

I fear it’s JS development mindset in general. I mean, you start a new project in RN, you get 1200 NPM dependencies. You start work, and you get thousands of dependencies. All that piles up to a huge amount of code that has to be parsed on start up (no ahead of time compilation or JIT).

Continuous monitoring is only claimed during a recorded workout https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204666

That page doesn't say specifically, but my recollection is that it's otherwise every 10 minutes if you're still. In non-workout mode they don't measure heart rate if you're moving; presumably not accurate enough.

All-day heart-rate monitoring can only be claimed by devices with a battery life of at least a day.

This was my same experience. I spent three solid work days trying to install it from source since it's on a server with other services and their default nginx etc. setup couldn't work. All the different microservices made installing from source very difficult. I ended up finally giving up and using the black box omnibus installation and fiddling with the configuration file for a while.

It works now but I can't hack the source to make custom improvements, so it ends up not being as open source as I would have hoped. There's one particular issue in trying to push that results from being on a URL subpath (http://.../gitlab). I can't fix it myself because of that.

Don't get me wrong--it's a good program and has worked for the team I support. But click and deploy is not useful for people who don't have bare bones servers they can spin up and instead have to work with shared servers.

Each resampling algorithm will internally produce some high-precision result before cutting it to 8 bits. For Pillow-SIMD it is 32-bit integers. Currently, I haven't considered dithering, but it is a very interesting idea. Do you have any links for further reading about downsampling banding and dithering?

About IPP's features: the comparison is pretty fair: the same input, the same algorithm and filters, pretty much the same output. If IPP uses more resources internally with the same output, so, maybe it shouldn't.
