Well, GIMP uses GTK and it looks really sharp on all platforms. It all comes down to theming.

I wouldn't say it looks like garbage, but if you want a more native look and feel you could certainly set it up in the settings.

(For example: you could look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37035936/how-to-get-nati... )

As a library purely coded in C, I still believe that GTK and GNOME lay a solid foundation for easy development in C.

Before downvoting you might want to give GTK another chance.
Even this libui library uses GTK under the hood for linux.
Are we discussing what makes Germany work? If so, I missed it.

It was a history question. I like history, so I tried to answer as neutrally as I could. If you don't like the answer you are welcome to provide another answer.

When you look around and say "Why are these things different?" then start hitting the books to learn why. If the OP's only point was that Germany is better than the U.S., then I guess no further learning is necessary. You are making a value statement. Discussing such statements online usually are a waste of time.

At least in the case of 1password the rate isn’t usurious, but the biggest problem they have is due to a business decision to make the product dependent on a SaaS-like service delivery model.

I find it a bit amusing that the headline uses the term "Extreme Juggling". Not because it's too clickbaity, but I think the juggling community should have invented that name. "I'm going to an extreme juggling event." sounds much better than the dull "numbers juggling".

On the other hand it wouldn't have done much to make numbers juggling more popular. If we are honest it is a quite disappointing subject to anyone outside the juggling community. Ask some random person what they believe about how many objects an average juggler can keep in air and you will get answers from 10 to 20. The reality looks more like this [1]:

Balls People
3 200M
4 5M
5 500K
6 50K
7 10K
8 1K
9 200
10 40
11 10
12 2

And these numbers are for throwing and catching just once.

The hard reality of every juggler is just:

FFmpeg's C API has pretty good documentation: https://www.ffmpeg.org/doxygen/4.0/

In addition to having both a man page and a --help option, The FFmpeg CLI tool has very thorough documentation: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html

I don't understand how FFmpeg could in any way be considered to have no documentation and no code samples.

Younger researchers no longer want to spend that much time at sea, cut off from most of the internet. “It’s really hard to get the younger generation excited about going to sea,” says NOAA’s Meinig. “People think it’s romantic and then find they can’t text their friends and don’t have access to hundreds of channels of TV.

I don't know if I can prove you wrong, but in my opinion your example of Karl Marx's 200th birthday is misjudged. As far as I know he neither killed nor ordered to be killed anyone. He is no more responsible for people (I assume you have Stalin in mind) twisting his thought than is anyone else. To follow that logic to its conclusion you would also need to express outrage at Christmas, or at the depiction of Jesus on the billboards of churches, because of the deaths occasioned by the Crusades.

Sadly, there aren't any randomized controlled trials showing that exercise can delay the onset of dementia.

There are observational studies that associated exercises with delayed onset of dementia, but they cannot show the direction of causality - it could be that people who are healthier and not at risk for dementia tend to exercise more as a result.

There are RCTs showing improvement in cognitive function in healthy older adults, which one might hope means that the onset of dementia is delayed - but that has not actually been shown.

Why do you think that a decentralized backbone is the best outcome?

I can understand that there are multiple scenarios where a decentralized cryptocurrency has some advantages for a direct end-user, and some market failures where customers can't get appropriate payment services; however for the "institution-to-institution" backbone I see no advantages whatsoever, the settlement channels which financial institutions can use are quite good and fit the needs of these institutions much better than (for example) Bitcoin; the interbank settlement systems are fast, cheap, reliable, secure, already implemented and tested, work on a large scale and they don't really have a trust issue with their operators.

There are many flaws in worldwide payment systems available to customers, but the backbone between institutions is not one of them.
How can this be an issue if their base software is open source? Just recompile it with the numbers upped, surely?

The goal of NetGuard is to function as a Firewall to limit apps ability to phone home without consent. The host file feature will block most in-app advertising and provide some protection for web browsing. Ads within facebook can be blocked using custom host filed within Ublock/Umatrix. I dont know about ad-blocking within the FB app itself.

Generally, you should be using Firefox, not Chrome, with Ublock and/or Umatrix installed to maintain control of your web experience. FB web interface can be used and ads generally blocked. Reddit's native ads are served directly via first party URLs so it is tuff to block. Reddit's made changes for the advertisers and their new UI is meant to popularize Native ads.

>don't the recipients have a right to retain a message that was sent to them?

No. There is no "right to retention" in the GDPR. Users have the right to access any data you hold that relates to them (with some exceptions), but you are under no obligation to retain data. GDPR requires you to do the exact opposite - delete (or thoroughly anonymise) data as soon as possible.

Art.5(1)(e) says "Personal data shall be kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed". If you're aiming for maximum GDPR compliance, it would be sensible to delete the messages from your server as soon as they have been delivered to the recipients. You're a messaging service, not an archival service; storing the messaging data or metadata indefinitely is contrary to the principles of the GDPR and exposes you to liability if that data is ever leaked.

I'd also question why you need plaintext access to user messages in the first place. End-to-end encryption protects you and your users. If you can't access the data, you can't inadvertently breach the GDPR.

Caregiver informed consent (and participant assent) for research is common when working with populations with significant cognitive impairment. Human research review committees essentially always require that to protect participants.

I get what you're saying, but we already know that electron (specifically embedding a whole browser with DOM) is the culprit. There are some native UI toolkits with bindings available for NodeJS, if slack was refactored to replace electron with one, it would probably peak at 2x as much RAM than HexChat rather than averaging 10x to 100x.
> No model can ever be 100% accurate.

Not true. Solomonoff induction is an algorithmic process that can reproduce any underlying computable function merely from sampling its outputs. This is a formalization of the scientific process, which means on a long enough timeline, science will converge on a 100% accurate model.

> Simulations are one form of model.

That's not the distinction I was making. The OP said there are "zero physical systems that can be modelled with prefect accuracy to any indefinite point in the future".

Let's unpack this in a mathematical context where there can be no ambiguity:

1. The universal Turing machine (UTM) is a model of computation.

2. I can never actually build a UTM because there is no such thing as an infinite tape.

3. The UTM is a 100% accurate model of computation, in that, any other form of computation can be translated to a UTM with some overhead.

4. I cannot simulate a UTM with perfect accuracy to any indefinite point in the future because I don't have an infinite tape.

So here we have a 100% accurate model that cannot be simulated as the OP said, so these two properties simply aren't entangled as the OP implied. Hopefully that clarifies the distinction I'm trying to make, namely that the accuracy of the model has nothing to do with our ability to simulate it to arbitrary precision. Modelling is simply different than simulating, even though we can simulate models.

> Nor can you say that reality is mathematical as an a priori argument or knowledge. It is simply a claim that is open to dispute. You are now dipping into philosophy.

Yes, it's a claim, but it's not one I was making. The OP said that "mathematics can never model reality" is not a conjecture, but "empirical fact".

And yet, existence is consistent with the hypothesis that reality is mathematical. Given this, empiricism would itself be a mathematical process, which directly contradicts the OP's point. So the OP's point is simply not objectively true, which is how he presented it.

> And besides subscriptions, version 7 will only sync using their back-end, which is not acceptable for me.

What do you mean by "only sync using their back-end"?
Bitcoin with only you and one other person is pretty useless. It's entire utility is predicated on a entire network of middlemen doing the mining.
> version 7 will only sync using their back-end, which is not acceptable for me

Are you sure about this? My understanding is that they will support other places to sync, like iCloud, as in previous versions.
Interesting in that you can host your own instance of their cloud server, but I really prefer something that uses standard cloud storage mechanisms (Dropbox, iCloud, etc.) for sync and works on top of that.

Like others here, I'll probably be reevaluating my choice when it feels like it's time to upgrade. For me, some of the open source solutions are perfect as far as the underlying storage format and sync technology, but lack good browser extensions that already understand all the quirks of various sites. That's the kind of thing that a commercial product can tend to do a better job at.
Yeah, only ui might not be a great prefix. It is a problem when names clash, and annoying to work around. Either you rename one of them, or you can wrap one library in a library of your own that changes the names.
Lately I've been buying things from non-amazon stores. price difference has been negligible for me.
Their issue with the editor is that he cares about sources... so whenever these anti media outfits want to post unsubstantial claims in Wikipedia, he has a problem with that (as he should).

This is propaganda war at its finest. Make it look like conservatives and liberals agree with your points... then gloss over actual facts with hand waving. Most people won’t dig deep enough to find out the truth. These guys just want to control the narrative and generate public opinion that we should doubt our journalistic institutions.

And if we stop caring about journalism and hard facts and the importance of sources, then our democracy is going to have real issues.

Their ties with Russian propaganda outfits should also be troubling. Do a little googling and you’ll see a host of pro Russian conspiracy stuff from these “agencies”.

I've been using KeepassXC (KeePass w/ macOS GUI elements) and enjoying it. It's a little simple (you just copy and paste the PW). It doesn't do fancy autofill but there's support for pretty much every OS.

Building a marketplace for local (usually small) businesses is super hard. If that’s what you have in mind.
On top of the convenience, I don't have to risk putting my credit card information into random websites. My parents dislike online shopping because they're fearful of getting credit card information lost or stolen online. Amazon is one of the few places they trust online.

The most ludicrous thing is people falling for the Prime membership. Why lock yourself in their system? It only encourages abuse.
You are correct, but that model is hardly unique to Amazon. Costco, Walmart, Grocery stores... they all do the same thing. If you want to save money, you need to be an educated consumer, at any store.

At least in capitalism you have choice and stores full of items. Beats living in Venezuela any day.
This is not correct. All of Bitwarden source code is 100% open source. Even the few features that are paid. https://github.com/bitwarden
I honestly can’t remember when I last paid for 1Password, yet I use it on my Mac and iOS devices (since 2011 it seems!). It never prompts me, it just works. I don’t follow the pricing policy changes, the only thing I know is I don’t want a subscription. I just want to pay for this great piece of software.

So I hope this just means I’ll shell out $50 or so and be done for a few years? If so, then great.
The fastest Go JSON parser I know of is https://github.com/buger/jsonparser. I've used that one in production quite successfully.

I don't see that in the comparative benchmarks for Gojay.

It doesn't mean that, they are aggressively making sure it will never mean that again, and it definitely won't be fifty bucks for a few years. (It's $36/yr.)
It's almost exceptionally easy to get an unsecured personal loan for that amount of money through Prosper or LendingClub or Lending Tree if you have good credit.

I just did it a few months ago to do some renovations and put a new heating system in my house.
I really like 1Password, it has been my daily driver for years. The creators gifted me versions for macOS and iOS years ago, so I never had to pay for it - which I would have done happily and, in fact, just recently did.

But the push to the cloud versions gives me headache. I don’t want to sync using their cloud - I actually sync using a WiFi server. While it’s (still) possible to obtain the standalone versions, it’s difficult to find them. And I expect that in a few years, they’ll be gone completely.

I am looking into Bitwarden at the moment as a self-hosted alternative but I haven’t decided yet.
They're not giving these properties up permanently, but they're choosing not to use them. Just as people using banks instead of cash implies that they feel that the advantages of banks outweigh the disadvantages, the fact that people choose not to withdraw (and fully control) their coins but instead "bank" them with coinbase is some indication that decentralization isn't an important issue for them and that they're not going to take advantage of its benefits whatever those may be.
I’m not sure how I hadn’t stumbled on this site before, but it is crazy good. The amount of information is a bit overwhelming to be honest, but skimming it I see a metric ton of gems for image processing and photography and optics. I see some math & advice that apply to audio processing as well. As someone working in CG, this is going to be a great reference.
If it's cloud-based sync, then a subscription model makes sense, but I've yet to find a subscription price that is in line with what I think is reasonable (~$2 / month) for the service.
Yes - I guess having an EU contact is something not easy to come by on the other hand there might soon be a service for it.

Seriously though it's obviously by design. Ever wondered why they don't teach financial responsibility in school? Give people incentive to work as much as they can to keep economy rolling. Capitalism at it's finest.

> The hard reality of every juggler is just: Do a few simple three ball tricks and people will get excited, show them your five ball routine they will fall asleep.

There is a significant difference between demonstrating a skill, and being entertaining. The best street acts I've seen have been largely trivial with regards the skill level, but phenomenally entertaining because of the way the act was constructed. Numbers juggling is a skill that has effectively zero entertainment value for the non-initiated.

And yet people always ask ask many one can juggle, and if you say "N" they then follow up with "Can you juggle N+1?" I'm always baffled by that, because if you actually do, they really don't care.

The take-away? People are weird, and entertainment beats skill any day.
They have to follow German law because they have German users, German customers (German companies buying ads), use German infrastructure, German marketing and German offices housing German employees.

If they would like to turn their back to an 80 million people market, sure. However, if this becomes the EU standard, it jumps up to a market of almost 500 million people. Hard to turn that down.
Gah, you're right. Their paid services and limits seem to be related to their SAS offerings.

Seems like a huge oversight to not let SIM cards disable certain types of encryption (that it knows the home network will never use). IIRC this is how downgrade attacks are prevented in EMV - the chip card will reject known-broken auth methods.
I think it breaks down to people skills. There is one group of people looking to use the lib for a project and another group that would be interested in contributing. Saying make a contribution to people not in the latter group is a bit rude. A better response would be to thank them for their feedback and mention contributors are welcome from those that are willing.
