Are those scans of old film photographs? If yes, then I'm surprised how rich the colors are compared to digital photography today. Is it that film has a different character from digital? Did photographers have a different aesthetic sense when they developed film back then? (I assume that there's some artistry involved not just in taking a photo but also in developing it.) Is film still marvelously better than digital photography?

Or am I falling victim to some sort of psychological trick where warmer colors just look better?

The reason I ask is that I recently scanned some old family photographs from the 1990s, and I had the same impression of them: rich colors that you just don't see today. And these were anything but good photography. They were from a 35mm point-and-shoot and taken in casual settings.
" politicians poll their constituents and their platform changes to mirror what their constituents want in order to continue being re-elected"

Except that the EU has nothing to do with elections, and they are utterly tone-deaf to the will of the public. EU leadership are sometimes openly contemptuous to the will of the people.

Even this is from the Telegraph ... they are still actual Junker quotes: [1]

So European leaders already think they get to 'do as Europe needs without interference from pesky voters' and yet this is where we are.

I don't think the answer is in our political leadership either - they only have so much knowledge, ability.

It boils down to micromanagement. Engineers shouldn’t be managed by small tickets. They should be given bigger scope of work and manage themselves.

I know you're being downvoted for being off-topic, but I'd like to know more about this:

The government of Puerto Rico... has changed the measured distance of many roads on the island at least 2 times in the last ten years.

its been some years, so I'm a bit foggy - but some times ago some of the intro classes for massage school here went into some details about various, techniques that are not used as often or known as well even by those 'in the industry' -

I think the Alexander Method, and Feldenkrais method were described as being beneficially used to help actors (including voice actors) and performers better their craft.

noted here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Technique#Uses

see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feldenkrais_Method

I am sure several types of exercises can benefit voice and acting - certainly tai chi, yoga, chi kung, breathing exercise in general.. this new 'laughing yoga' I've heard about - surely would make things better and not usually worse - probably measurably.
OK I see, thank you.

Your original comment made the blanket statement that the

Make all the statements you want saying that western democracies have a better rule of law than China but making
blanket statements like the above hurts your argument.

Yeah, similar story for nuclear power. I don't think people understand that very few competent STEM undergrads would choose to go into the submarine force if they saw no job on the other side of the suffering necessary to get through prototype and multiple deployments. As it is I've heard something like 30 out of 190 per year group make it to command some 20 years later. So that's 160 people a year who have at least some thought that their skills can transfer to a civilian job.

Yes, it really is. There is so much software that has been built without a ticket system. If you need examples, just ask!

Indeed Warren Buffet made a similar point: if you buy a farm, you're buying the land, the potential to grow crops that people actually consume, etc. whereas cryptocurrency doesn't really have a purpose except as a store of value. It's not a productive asset; it doesn't produce anything. It is a bit like buying gold.

“A pattern language” explained (2016)
One of the highlights of coming back from my trips back in the 80s was reading through the month of Swedish newspapers that had piled up in my apartment and get "fast forwarded" on all the news that had happened while I was away.

I was careful to sort them by date and not peek on the newer one so I didn't get "spoiled" :)

Today, even when I travel to quite remote corners of the world, I spend much of the day on the same web sites as usual, reading the same things, talking to the same people. In a sense, I'm never really leaving my regular life, for better and for worse.
You're assuming that every location has equal retail possibilities.

I'm not talking about places where bookstores, electronics stores, etc... closed because of Amazon. I'm talking about the vast majority of places that never had bookstores, electronics stores, etc... in the first place.
A few weeks ago I heard the claim that you have to supervise your cat while it is outdoors or else you will be responsible for extinction of certain species... That sounded a bit ridiculous to me so I read a few articles on that topic. (the first few sources of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_predation_on_wildlife are a good start)

While cats do kill a lot animals, including endangered species, many articles that claim your outdoor cat is irreversible destroying wildlife seem quite sensationalist. Many articles make it sound like pets are the real threat but only mention on the side that feral cats are responsible for the majority of killed animals instead. It would be far more beneficial (for wildlife, pets and feral cats) if people would support projects for controlling feral cat population than confining their pets.

Niceware ships 65,536 unique words. 3 words chosen randomly is 1 "password" of 281,474,976,710,656 possibilities.

https://diracdeltas.github.io/niceware

If that password was hashed with a single pass of vanilla MD5, the Jeremi Gonsey's cluster of 8 Nvidia GTX 1080i GPUs [2] would be running at 307,200,000,000 hashes per second.

https://gist.github.com/epixoip/ace60d09981be09544fdd3500505...

In order to exhaust half of the keyspace, so odds would be in the favor of the password cracker finding the original hash, they would need to search only 140,737,488,355,328 hashes.

At 307.2 gigahashes per second, this would take approximately 458 seconds, or just under 8 hours using the Niceware list.

However, jumping to 4 random words grows that time by a factor of 65,536, which means reaching 50% exhaustion would take approximately 1 full year. Moving to 5 randomly generated Niceware words, and it's impractical to attempt cracking the MD5 hash.

Cherry-picking 3 words is a little dishonest for the discussion surrounding password security. The right "best answer" for password generation is to use a password manager, no argument there. And I don't know of any password generators that generate passphrases by default, Niceware, Diceware, or otherwise.

But if a user wants a passphrase instead, I don't know of a security expert who would recommend 3 words.
Hmm, it seems to be adding things to a list but where is it adding a new DOM node?
Say one of our users clicks a button and expects our program to do X but it does Y. To the user this is a bug, regardless of the underlying reason, and it might be an urgent blocking one as such.

What's the value of tracking such "bugs" in one of two places, depending on the underlying reason? In either case I might have to get the button to to X in a couple of hours.
I don't think it's the fear of losing jobs, it's more because of the flexibility it offers. There's a lot of adhoc adjustments / corrections to data / formulas that require a lot of flexibility and a coded program won't be able to manage it that well. I used to do a lot of my stuff with vba but in the end I would still use excel formulas when I could
all of these fiscally conservative moves would be met with massive backlash in france, italy, the UK, and other parts of Europe, where spending on social welfare programs is a relatively large percent of the federal budget and a point of pride for many

furthermore you would be met with a huge backlash from wealthy center/progressive proponents over your anti-immigrant policy. many in power are wealthy enough to see anti-immigrant sentiment as racism rather than an economic necessity (unlike the yellow jacket protestors who are probably making around 30k euro per year - the median in france, and for whom a 25c/gallon increase in gas prices is catastrophic)

i'd be interested to hear your ideas for fiscal expansion - what should the government be prioritizing spending on to increase economic growth, rather than simply making the cuts you've suggested

Division of labor, specialization.

People don't cry for help, they want efficiency. Healthcare, infrastructure (transportation), education and social services (nursery, kindergarten, school), research, disaster relief, environmental protection, consumer safety standards (from food to communications and financial services), etc. are all best done on a larger level.

And all of it needs coordination.

And of course there are hundreds of millions of people that don't accept this. Are they stupid? Maybe. Are they ignorant? Maybe. Do they have serious counter-arguments? Maybe. Are they constructive? Well, not really, it seems.

We seem to be facing a rather serious regression toward tribal "standards" (old conservative values like purity, respect for authority, might makes right as only the strong survives, and we're in very hard times, we need to follow the strong, etc) via populism. Why? Because the social psyche is very susceptible to this, because there are real problems (growing inequality, serious changes due to globalization, automation clearing the middle-jobs, global warming).
I understood that the article was flawed from the point where the author called software engineers "crafters".

Well, except in the case of gold it has a real use (electronics and jewelry, to name a couple).
Haven't read the article yet but what you say articulates my unconscious feelings about the EU and Western countries in general.

There is a lack of clarity of thinking, vision, a clear path forward. It makes me think of, although this is a weird analogy, the difference between how AlphaZero plays chess compared to traditional chess engines. AlphaZero plays with a strong sense of purpose and energy. Traditional engines seem to just... make some moves, trying to avoid mistakes without any high-level plan.

Another analogy is Elon Musk's companies (even though I don't like the guy personally). He's able to present coherent, clear vision and make people excited about following the progress of his companies.
Yes, those must be old photographs. And yes, there was some artistry involved in developing both the film and making prints.

The demise of film and color processing is a tragedy. Sure, it was expensive, much more so than simply snapping digital photos to your heart's content (as long as you have enough storage, of course), but it made you think about what you were doing before you pressed the button. And processing film and developing prints was endlessly fascinating, even if it was frustrating at times.

I have yet to see any digital photograph as rich as lovely old Kodachrome could come out, even when sent to the local drugstore to be developed. It has actually nearly killed my desire to make photographs. These pictures made me really happy.

Wealthy people are as unbalanced as poor people, good to know. I believe that a good group (friends/village) can tame that. You stop caring about your posession when you care for the group and its joy fulfills you.
Of course, although probably most people investing in gold are using it as a store of value rather than to create jewelry.
Thanks for sharing.

Much like your experience, eBay (and NewEgg) has filled the general consumer electronics hole created by allowing my Prime account to lapse in 2016. I started seriously noticing diminished value mid-2014 while tracking prices for a personal workstation build during the 6 months leading up to Black Friday that year. For shits and grins, I did the same analysis again in 2017 for a second build; Amazon didn't come through for a single component even when Prime benefits were assumed.

Increased annual fee, state sales tax, proliferation of marketplace garbage, workplace stories on HN, gamed product review system...a part of me wants to see Amazon win a few shots just to keep the competition in check, but dropping Prime after 10 years of patronage wasn't particularly difficult and I haven't regretted the decision since.
Society is fine with regulating a particular group of people: children.

It seems that for your idea to hold water, you have to accept one of the following premises:

1. Children should be permitted complete agency, free to do anything they wish.

2. There is some arbitrary threshold a child must meet in order to be given agency (in most western countries this threshold is reaching age 18).

Option 1 is at least philosophically self-consistent, but seems absurd to me.

Option 2 admits that there does exist a group of people who should be patronized and have regulated agency, and that it's simply a matter of debate what the threshold is. If that is the case, OP is simply arguing that people should have regulated agency with regard to crypto speculation, which is consistent with Option 2.

> What do Pivotal plan to do if both implement breaking changes (extremely likely), maintain a fork?

The main riff team all work for Pivotal and Pivotal was the first external partner brought into Knative by Google. We were the first to submit non-Google PRs and the first to have non-Google approvers.

People are/were more susceptible to easy lies that made them the victim. The equilibrium shifted, and a feedback loop started.

I think this has great potential, not only because of the performance, but because it's not made of the very expensive and very rare lithium.
Yes, I remember Bernie Sanders never being called populist, and also currently not being called populist. Nothing more populist than tax cuts for the wealthy, that's what I always hear. /s

Right-wing populism virtually never refers to tax cuts; just to curbs on immigration and the expulsion of minorities - a bottom up approach to help the poor members of the majority group by eliminating the people fighting them for crumbs through the use of vermin metaphors. If anything, comsumption-tax cuts are left-wing populism because consumption taxes are regressive.
I think I definitely agree with you to an extent. However, I think extensibility is something that for a beginner can be very helpful. Code formatters, linters, git integrations and even code snippets can be super helpful for someone who is trying to get their head around new concepts. But you're right, once you've reached a level where tools like vim, git, and other lower level solutions, editor extensions can become superfluous.
I don't see it exactly like this. I see where you're coming from, but some of us who buy cryptocurrency believe in the technology and back only projects that we believe will have a future. It is still speculative on an investment level, but I also use this technology and hope to build on these protocols in the future. The space has a lot of growing up to do and I hate the "wen lambo" mentality because that is not what this is about for me and I believe it deviates attention away from technology which is what is actually important here. Not every blockchain project will succeed, many will fail

Your analogy is flawed though, Coinbase wouldn't be selling pickaxes they are simply providing a means of digital asset exchange as well as selling the digital assets directly. Mining hardware would be the pickaxe.

Watched a show on France24 channel about what's happening in France right now, 7 out of 8 guests labelled Macron as completely out of touch.

It appears that 50% of the country makes 1.2k/month or less. You cannot survive with that kind of salary in France, so it's not just one tax or two. There is a series of decisions made by Macron's government that are heavily controversial.

On a side-note, demonstrations sparked in Belgium and the Netherlands, to a lower extend.

Because it's not a walled garden. As the ecosystem grows that pain (and it's real) will ease.

The point is to use it more efficiently. Mixed workloads with scale-to-zero help achieve that end.
For those of us in the industry, we recognize that this is all one grand experiment. In my mind, it is worth all of the hype b/c digital currencies pose the following two big benefits:

- Digital currency is a new asset class and an improved form of money. Money as a concept has been around since the dawn of recorded history and it has gone through a number of iterations since. We have only been using nation-backed currencies for between 100-200 years depending on where you set the departure from the gold standard. For most of human history, we have had "hard money", meaning that no one had the power to inflate our money and lower its value(through gold). Nations have that ability today, and it has had far reaching implications. Digital currency has the potential to reduce or eliminate government control of our money. If you think this is a libertarian vision, you would be wrong. Just look at the internet and how it has quickly changed the publishing industry. Digital currencies are also programmable, meaning they have features that normal money simply does not have. Shared custody of funds and time locked funds are just two great examples.
- Digital currency paves the way for superior payment networks. The ability to send digital currency is cheaper, faster, and more global than any payment network ever invented. Our traditional financial system is steeped with trust-based relationships, manual checks, competing parties, and fraud. This results in inefficiencies from top to bottom. This all results in bank wires taking between 4-14 days, whereas a digital currency transaction takes an hour to settle on average. In the future, digital currency will also be capable of sending smaller value transactions than ever before.

If you think that aspects of this industry are ridiculous and mere gambling, you would be correct. As a person in the industry, I tend to ignore much of the industry. That being said, there are some incredibly novel ideas that are motivating the best of us to get this system working. If we succeed, we will have a much more open, fast, less expensive, and global financial system to use.
