I've been using it for about 18 months, works very well for my modest needs (stitching panoramas, HDR stacking, occasionally removing an unwanted person or thing from a photo). Most of the shortcuts and much of the interface is just like Ps, even to the point where many Ps tutorials/techniques just work.

The one area where I'd say it needs improvement is the raw development. The output just isn't that great compared to Adobe Camera Raw or (my tool of choice) Capture One.
I didn't realize that the standards of the web specified anything about how an address bar should be displayed (or, for that matter, that it specified anything about an address bar even existing).

Totally agree. Follow the normal food advice and you are already 95% there.
For all the back and forth there are some things we do know. Get your macro- and micronutrients. Don't eat too many toxins and heavy metals. Too much sugar is bad.

You'll probably be mostly fine whether you eat coconut oil or not, as long as the quantities are not completely unreasonable.

This isn't entirely without precedent. Firefox does something similar by greying out the `www` in the UI, Chrome just decided to take things a step further by hiding it entirely.
I was immediately struck by the same set of thoughts. I don't know whether to be appalled or just ... sad.
An outrageously unprofessional software process that created a product worth $50M!

> If the browser uses some technique to detect that www.domain.com is functionally identical to domain.com for a given domain, then I don't see a serious problem with this.

Say, for example, if the canonical URL doesn't have a "www" in it?
FWIW I'd recommend "The Inheritance of Rome" by Christopher Wickham. It is jumps around a lot but gives a lot of really in-depth analysis of the Eastern Roman Empire and the rise of the Caliphate.

It's doesn't look like you may expect.

I was surprised by a probiotic addition the other day as well. It was added to a vegan protein powder I bought off the shelf.
You can’t - in California anyhow - really stop employees from quitting and then competing with you. Most non compete forms have been made unlawful, which is a really good thing for competitiveness.

In any case, I don’t see any confirmation that this startup is pursuing something that would be competitive with Google. The whole stealth thing leaves us with little to go on.
Many is not all. Quite a few don't work with/without www. But I'm sure google is aware and they have some fallback or something.
That took just 8 years....

You can add Spain to the list (EU and NATO member): http://www.catalannews.com/society-science/item/catalan-teac...

> The Spanish Guardia Civil has arrested a Catalan teacher for publishing hate speech on social networks, according to digital media outlet Pallars Digital.

> “Which tweets, which facebook posts, I do not know,” he tweeted after his release, adding that “the accusation is incitation of hate, I suppose hate against the Guardia Civil.”

> “No aggression against the Guardia Civil and the National Police, no violence; But let's make them realize that they are neither welcome nor loved,” Riu wrote on October 3 via his Twitter account. “Let us peacefully make life impossible until they leave Catalonia.On October 3, Riu published.” He confirmed that he has criticized the Spanish government and security forces in some of his online publications. In some cases he used obscene language, specifically against Spanish politicians, and in one Tweet he called Spanish police “orangutans.”

Arresting someone for having called the police forces “orangutans” on an online forum is very undemocratic and not ok.
IE did this years ago too, as I recall. I don't know if Edge still does.

Safari also won't show "www" until you click on the location bar, but it'll show once you click.

Agreed, it's sensationalism, both the writer and the conductor of the study.

My experience in academia is that researchers rely heavily on controversy and drama to further their studies. It's part of the game they have to play to continue to receive funding or gain attention in the public eye.

The author of the paper seems like he's marketing a problem that he'll try to solve in the coming years, by building a company that offers bespoke probiotic solutions based on analysis of an individual customer's microbiome. Not a bad business model honestly, it's spreadshirt for your gut.

This is idiotic and harmful. We already lost information about the protocol, because somebody believed it is "too complex" for users. Now we're losing other parts of the URL. It's making a joke of the SSL/TLS padlock, too — what exactly is the padlock supposed to tell me? It used to signify that a "known authority" certified that I'm connected to whatever I see in the URL bar. But now that browsers take liberties with modifying the URL bar as they see fit, it becomes increasingly meaningless.
Then you need alignment.

One of those cases where the patent model works is the development of prescription drugs. The possibility of monopoly profits leads pharma companies to develop and test drugs and run them through a regulatory gauntlet. Critics say it is expensive, but it does work in the sense that new drugs get invented and some of them really are a boon.

For something like fish oil you can do the research but it benefits everybody else who sells fish oil, which, oddly enough, lowers my blood triglycerides like a drug although having put up no real benefits other than that for years.

I guess you could have a chassis that is attached to the counterweights. The cabin could be on rails and drive onto the chassis.

Of course this would not work for small buildings as it would take up an entire side of the building. And for larger complexes it would be simpler to have a separate system of self driving pods that are separate from the lifts. This would be a much easier topology to optimise.
Yes and no: there is another indirection mechanism at work on windows: All results for imports in the import table are at the beginning of the DLL's data segment. So a call to another DLL first has to fetch the data from there, then do an indirect call. In x86 assembler:

some_import_address dd some_import ; will be filled in by dll import
[... lots of unrelated code and data...]
call [some_import_address]

a JIT can read the address from code and do directly:

call some_import

that's one less memory load.

The benefit is that the dynamic linking does not modify the code segment, so there are less private, modified pages mmapped, thus more sharing and less memory usage.
Your opinion that browsers should be unopinionated is not an opinion shared by browsers.
The vast vast vast majority of people drink way too little water. I drink a little over a gallon a day in addition to the occasional coffee or soda and still occasionally feel the effects of dehydration. I know people who may only have 2-3 glasses of water in a day and nothing else. It's crazy they're still alive.
That's not a fix. That's a travesty.
Noncompetes are not enforceable in California, and it’s not terribly hard for experts to continue innovating past what they did at a previous employer.
A 747 cockpit looks pretty unintuitive to me, but the recognition that I don't know how to fly a 747 prevents me from passing premature judgement on it.
Huge difference IMO. I'd explain your example as firefox highlighting the domain part of the URI.
FF grays out everything that's not the domain name, not just `www` and more importantly, not because it's `www`.
That's not the case. I run a server that does not respond to "www." If I enter "www.myserver.com" into the address bar, I get a DNS lookup failure, but the address bar is now showing "myserver.com." That's damn confusing, and this is an idiotic default on Chrome's part.
I had a strong gut feeling Google has one or multiple ulterior motives for doing this - motives that aren't very user-friendly (as they claim) but more Google-friendly. I thought it may be so that it can track every link you type in Chrome without 99.9% of the users being aware of it. Right now Google does that only for "searches" in the omnibox.

I hadn't thought about the amp angle, but that could be another reason for pushing this, too. Perhaps there are more we won't know until it's too late to do anything about it (other than changing browsers, of course).
Tell that to... well, vast majority of people. Problem with dietary studies isn't internal disagreement - it's that every iteration gets published in pop press as if it was scientific consensus, creating fads readily exploited by marketers. It's a shitshow.

When I took my first networking class a billion years ago (the 1990s) the kindly professor who had written most of the networking textbooks in use at the time started the first week off by teaching us how to use the ping command.

But first he warned us: make sure you always use the -c flag if you're pinging something on the internet. This is to specify the count of pings sent out. If you didn't it would ping forever and generate too much traffic, and this useless noise would make you a "bad netizen". He explained this and everything to us so kindly and with such sincerity it was like watching Fred Rodgers speak.

Now we have to randomly barf noise onto the network to maybe have a better chance at some privacy. And that's on top of the half dozen browser extensions and the vpn and whatever other tools you need to have a moderately good experience on the network.

How did we let the internet become this awful?
Google wants to destroy the URL so the only way to find something will be via Google... They also want to tie your identity to each webpage that you author via a certificate so that all governments can clamp down on fake information or have the opportunity to in the future.
That weakens the protection the same origin policy offers.
If you have a specific diagnosis, an awesome bullshit detector and hang out in the right circles, it is possible to make some sense of things and make informed choices that make a meaningful difference in your life.

It's only nigh useless if you are some "standard issue normal human with no alterations (aka health issues)" and want generic advice about what works for everyone all the time. Then it's pretty eye-roll worthy, for what I feel are kind of obvious reasons.
>There is absolutely no way the public can reasonably believe yay or nay on any new thing about healthy living.

There is nothing new about healthy living.

Eat plants. Drink water. Sleep well.

Don't add salt to anything. Avoid sugar. Eat meat only in moderation.

Fiber from beans makes you poo good.

Coffee and alcohol in moderation is alright. Drinking to the point of visible external intoxication is not "in moderation".

Exercise, even if only a walk in the evening.

If you are overweight, eat fewer calories each day than your body needs to function. If you are underweight, eat more calories each day than your body needs to function.

None of that sells books, or drives eyeballs to the latest ad-infested "Doctors say x will kill ya!" article.
FF greys out all the subdomains, not just www. Good for anti-phishing, I guess.

This and many other changes over a course of a short period of time have caused me to go to Firefox exclusively now. I heard Firefox is going to stop third party cookie tracking altogether. Why not give Google the big finger and use a different browser? Vote with your cold hard actions if you feel so strongly about something.
From the days I was a teenager and we had TV at home in Poland, I remember the brand "Actimel" being all about "good bacteria". So this must have changed recently. My guess is, the EU told them to stop spewing bullshit in commercials.

Firefox's behaviour is that is makes everything except the eTLD+1 grey, because that's what's normally useful for evaluating authenticity. There's no distinction made between `www` and any other subdomain.
The padlock was already meaningless.
Virginia Lottery director Ken Thorson pled to the press.
“It is an opportunity for the common man to spend a small sum for the possibility of a higher prize… We never anticipated a group trying to make such a large purchase.”

Neither corporate lawyers nor government would ever acknowledge that loophole in a business models does not necessarily equals to fraud.
Good laws are conservative codifications of consensus morality. A just legal code forbids only what the vast majority would consider wrong regardless of the law.

When the law forbids what people don't consider wrong, it becomes tyranny.
Google attempted a more extreme version of this four years ago: https://www.extremetech.com/computing/181657-google-moves-to...

So they're doing it again, just slower: https://www.extremetech.com/computing/276454-google-wants-to...

I'm pretty sure the eventual plan is to force everyone to browse the web using a version of the App Store, which we all know is incredibly secure, and never difficult to use.

Pretty much. The GIMP developers couldn't find a toolkit that fit their needs so they wrote their own. Other people with the same problem then used their toolkit.

Back when the GIMP was developed your options were pretty limited. There was Athena Widgets which are basically the cave drawings of the computer world. Motif which had licensing issues. OpenWindows widgets which were notoriously buggy and ugly. There wasn't much else to choose from. There's a reason GTK exploded so quickly after release.
Since everyone is wondering why, and since I happened to stumble across a reason during my time as a pentester, here you go:

Spearphishing is still one of the most common ways of breaching a corporate network. If I target you, you will likely fall for one of my attempts. If you are a company rather than a person, my odds go way up, because I have N chances to trick someone rather than 1 (where N is roughly the number of people at the company with email access).

This is one of those things that everyone says "Ha, I'm smart. I'd notice. You can't trick me."

And maybe you are. But you're also distracted. And that's my greatest advantage against you. All I need is to sneak in an unexpected Github prompt that looks completely authentic, and now I have your Github password. Wanna bet you don't have 2FA turned on, even though you know you really ought to? And even if you do, it's getting easier to social engineer your way past AT&T's lovely customer support: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caVEiitI2vg

Ok, what's the point?

This: Every character in the URL bar unrelated to the apex name is a deadly distraction.

Right now, how do you know you're actually on HN instead of some knockoff? "ycombinator.com".

How many characters do you have to read unrelated to that? "https://news. /item?id=17927972"

The most vital part of a URL for vetting identity is also, usually, the hardest to see.

Now, I don't know whether google made this change in order to assist with this. But it's one possible justification, and a step in a good direction.

We may not like it, just like we didn't like when Google removed the clickable "cached" links from search results, but in this case consumer protection outweighs our urges as a power user.
It begins. I saw this this morning, and thought it was something that was coming in the next few versions, not right now.

"Grant private and priority elevator service for select tenants"

Not, it's not. It's a question of getting work done vs fighting your tools.

As someone that edits PNGs and JPGs often with Photoshop I double click the file in the Finder (mac) or Windows Explorer (win) and suddenly I'm editing the PNG or JPG. I make some edits, if I add layers or features that can't be saved back to those formats I flatten the editing (Cmd-Shift-E, of course also on menus in 2 places). I then just press Cmd-S/Ctrl-S to save. No questions asked, no dialog pops up. Click->Edit->Save. If you have to edit often it's a huge difference with no interrupt in workflow.
Have you tried PhotoFlow?

It's a newer open source photo editor (though not pixel editor) that allows you to compose your own non-destructive processing pipeline from individual operations.
The general public can rest relatively assured that, when there is a broad consensus on some subject, with numerous studies published over the years repeatedly finding similar results, it's a good idea to follow the scientific advice (that typically follows the consensus).

For example, in what regards coconut oil, it's far from just two doctors from Harvard recently saying that coconut oil is bad for you. From the wikipedia page on the vegetable fat:

Due to its high levels of saturated fat, the World Health Organization, the United States Department of Health and Human Services, United States Food and Drug Administration, American Heart Association, American Dietetic Association, British National Health Service, British Nutrition Foundation, and Dietitians of Canada advise that coconut oil consumption should be limited or avoided.

The same goes for various allegedly "controversial" subjects like saturated fat and heart disease, sugar, salt, etc. You can typically find advice by multiple public health organisations and multiple studies reporting findings very similar to each other, stretching back decades. Just because then a new study comes out that bucks the trend, which is immediately widely reported in the popular news as a "groundbreaking new study", or because someone (often, not an expert) writes a book that tells "the truth" about the subject, is no reason to get confused.

In science always follows the consensus, as in business always follow the money.
My deepest condolences. TempleOS was a thing of beauty, which I would totally see used x86-64 VMs instead of 'thicker' operating systems.
Given the adoption rate of SSL, I imagine the padlock itself will become useless even without Chrome's changes. Does it mean anything if almost every website has it?
Yeah this is weird. Which users are bothered enough by the leading www enough to justify messing with semantics?
The post you replied to seem to imply a "naive EV", because they already discussed odds of sharing the jackpot.
Thanks! This worked great for me and it brought back the https:// part as well.
Using a very naive calculation of valuation = 5x yearly income, is PagerDuty really pulling in $260,000,000/year? My company is currently paying them about $90/month. or $1,080/year. We are most likely one of the smallest clients they have, but that is still quite a leap.
I don't know any. What I meant was just to find good looking tables yourself and study them with an eye for typesetting. The manuals for LaTeX packages, including booktabs, are often very good too.
Next Economic Crisis Looms Large
To be clear, the "www" is only missing from the URL that is displayed in the address bar, while the browser is still attempting to resolve and fetch the URL with the "www." So instead of something that would completely break many websites, this is just something that is as confusing as hell for no good reason.

When a website requires "www" to resolve and respond, who in their right mind would want it hidden in the displayed URL?
Oh! So the OG USB keys were OTP thingies that just did the typing for you? I had no idea.
We appear to be living in very different bubbles then.

The best evidence I could find is the Stackoverflow Survey [1]. Around the middle it asks for the "most popular development environments" (multiple selection possible). The leaders are Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio and Notepad++ with 34% each, followed by Sublime. Vim is fifth place, Emacs 15th place with just 4.1%. But it's heavily dependent on the community you look at, for example Vim is less popular with mobile developers and very popular with sysadmins/devops.

There is also a "prefered code editor" in the golang survey. Vim is second most popular, yet Vim and Emacs make for only a combined 16%.

According to the Rust survey [3] the rust community seems to love Vim though. 46% use Vim and 15.4% use Emacs.

A Python survey [4](by Jetbrains) has Vim at 10% and Emacs at 3%.

So from a quick look Emacs seems to be used by 2-4% of developers on a regular basis, while Vim use varies heavily between communities. So I might have to retract my statement on Vim, but I feel reasonably confident to say that Emacs is used by a tiny minority of people.

Funny enough, I visited a site for some task or other just yesterday for which I just typed the base domain, and got ... nothing. It still required the "www." prefix -- no redirect, "ANAME" DNS-side hacks, VIPs or anything in place to make the base domain a reachable URL. This new Chrome change, if it's truly doing naive subdomain hiding, would be a really bad UX for sites like that.
