Designer has had proper Hi-DPI/scaling support since early/mid-2017. Painter has the support, too, but not to the same degree. Apparently it rounds between 100% and 200%, but nothing in between. Although a user said 150% works.

That I think is between Qt and Apple. Mari 4 came out at the end of last year and the macOS version has been in a perpetual beta since about 6 months after GA, but should arrive with the 4.5 release currently in beta (fingers crossed for those users). As reported by the dev team, it comes down to some serious stability and useability issues from Qt on macOS (the way they've implemented it) that is just not working well between various macOS versions. Some users the beta works fine, others not at all. And this happens to users of the same OS version and hardware.

I am fascinated at how credit cards are both quite a good deal and a very bad deal at the same time. If you use them right - which is mostly pay off each month - you can get nice sign-up bonuses (up to $600 is not unheard of if you're lucky), you can get 1.5-2% back on every purchase and 5-6% on selected categories, and if you're careful, you can also take zero APR longer-term loans with some credit cards (provided you pay them off properly) which helps structure unexpected spending like major appliance breaking down.

On the other hand, you get unbelievably bad deal with 20+% APR if you don't use them right, and on top of that various fines for not paying on time, so if you get the wrong end of the deal, you can pay 2x-3x of the original amount.

One of many things on the credit market which makes your life much easier if only you can prove you don't really need their service.
The author replaced the 25 tonnes of fuel a 737 carries with 25 tonnes of batteries, which is generous towards the electric jet (as the fuel burns during the trip).

Edit: It looks like you deleted the post I was replying to, but a 737 with 72 tonnes of MTOW does not carry just 17 tonnes of fuel; you can easily look up the product matrix on Wikipedia.
Anyone care to give the sales pitch?
I like the Jinhaos too. At the price, they are extremely cost-effective and they make really versatile sketching tools. Here's a quick drawing for fun:

SpaceX executives have stated several times that their company is profitable. But, when SpaceX was trying to do a $750M debt raise just last month, their internal financials were divulged: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-08/musk-said....

It's a company running in the red. Unfortunately EBITDA is still negative (much less earnings). The jury is still out on whether or not SpaceX's approach is in fact commercially viable.
Why is it funny that people understand things in terms of their experience? The original comment about "lossy compression" essentially stated that humans don't have perfect thinking/memory/processing of probabilities. Do you disagree? Does it matter whether or not the wording of this idea uses computer science terms?

Sure, technical people might try to apply methods from technical disciplines to social ones. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. As a rule, however, I don't think anyone assumes mathematics will completely replace social studies. We might use statistics to better understand social studies, but the social context is still distinctive from pure math, and always will be.

Some of the best hackers are the ones who DO borrow ideas from other disciplines. And all other disciplines can often benefit from applying increasingly complex statistical methods, aided by computer and data scientists.
> Davidson knew what could happen to masters who raised safety concerns that weren’t considered serious enough by the company. He had been fired by a prior employer after an incident with another ship. The steering was bad on that one, and he’d refused an order to take it to port, requiring the company to hire tugboats to drag it there instead.

I've been reading about this disaster since it happened, and this is the quote of the article that sums it up entirely to me. Pressure to perform from a bunch of folks who have never set foot on a ship in their life, acting as petty dictators destroying livelihoods over these things seems to be the norm. Then when it goes tits up, let's blame those on the ground - not the folks who made it an economic death penalty to remotely question them over safety issues.

It seems the world is going more and more towards this model where folks with no skin in the game get to dictate life and death situations to those on the ground with zero repercussions to themselves when it inevitably goes wrong. Playing the odds is great when you're sitting in an air conditioned office and get to go home at 5pm. Not so much for those who actually have to perform the work.

Until we hold the corporate "masters" culpable in such incidents, we will continue to see them escalate as they force those less economically advantaged than themselves into dire situations such as this.

So few folks realize the utter absurdity of some 30 year old MBA telling a 50 year old master of trade how to do their job.
If we expect Spain to overtake Japan in life expectancy, then hasn't it already overtaken it, really?
According to Wikipedia:

> Void Linux was created in 2008 by Juan Romero Pardines, a former maintainer of NetBSD, to have a test-bed for the XBPS package manager.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Void_Linux
The article mentions that the US is the worst performing developed country. I find it interesting that nobody has mentioned the US's opioid problem. Kids dying of overdoses will crush life expectancy statistics. There have been frequent articles on HN documenting this problem.

Eat your veggies and don't do drugs kids. Well, the bad ones at least...
From the post: “The virus affected computer systems of Tribune Publishing Co. Those systems are still shared by the Union-Tribune and Los Angeles Times under a service agreement with Tribune, which owned both publications prior to their sale in June. The Union-Tribune and Times are now privately held, but are still transitioning away from the Tribune systems.

The attack seemed to begin late Thursday night and by Friday had spread to critical areas needed to publish the paper. Technology teams from both companies made significant progress against the threat, but were unable to clear all systems before press time.”
Ah. You're just flipping around what the percentages are based off. Makes sense I suppose. Neat.

Again, your argument continues to validate one of the essential points I make: that these data sets are most useful for identifying existing media that “works” and then scaling/marketing it.

Here is where I think we disagree: I don’t believe that Netflix’s ability (or Google’s, for that matter) to predict new markets is substantively improved by their data set. I understand that that might be a radical perspective among data-driven decision-makers, but I stand by it. Yes, the data set is extremely useful for scaling/marketing an asset (as we have both highlighted), but frankly datasets don’t yet know what the next hot thing will be, and there is a lack of statistical evidence to suggest otherwise (ie Netflix has produced, what, 1-10k shows? That doesn’t necessarily provide much statistical reliability, even if they have a high rate of success, which they don’t).

Furthermore, Netflix picking themes, topics, etc as you suggest to drive successful production runs contrary to their most successful strategy so far, which is to cast a wide net by producing highly diverse content at low costs then scaling what works. While they use data to deduce which shows are successful, the production of those shows occurred with little to no data-driven direction beyond the obvious understanding that a wide net catches more fish.

When a company has a combination of access to scale and quality data, they quickly outpace and overwhelm their competitors. Netflix hasn’t quite accomplished this, suggesting that their dataset isn’t as magical as you imply.

Lastly, their dataset isn’t as private as you might believe, either. To view it as a golden egg that will exclusively produce quality content just for them is naive.
Dude thank you for the blog post. Its short and straight to the point, you nailed it. When I was reading it (mobile) I was hoping you would mention Signal.

That's an interesting article, though I think I would disagree with assumptions 3 and 4, at least as they apply towards non-special needs secondary school children.

But, that said, I agree with all 10 of his misguided notions. They're all issues. As a math teacher, I've mostly seen issues with 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 and 10, though they others have been prevalent some (except the special needs one; I have not worked in a special needs class nor have I had a collaborative class with special education students, only ESL learners). And number 3 especially hits a point with me, as so many of my students don't have fluency in basic math and it makes teaching Algebra 2 and Geometry a real pain in the ass.
Ibuprofen, as far as I am given to understand, is one of the most common drugs all around the world. Why didn't anyone notice before now, I wonder?

Bread has sugar in Europe too. You can choose a sugar free variety though easily.
So, if one wants to reduce sex drive in order to focus on much more interesting tasks without any interruption, ibuprofen is the way?
A 70/30 or 60/40 split with regular rebalancing can smooth out market fluctuations. When stocks do well this pulls money out and locks in the gains at a time when psychologically you want to let it rise. When stocks are doing badly this also forces you to buy at a discount when you might be inclined to keep the money on the sidelines out of fear of future losses.
I've never seen an application that has a seriously broad range of functionality where I went "Wow. That's amazing." And not just from a visual standpoint, but from a navigation and process perspective.

It always takes a small adjustment period of getting used to the application's actions paradigm and you get over it. The UI's don't really get in the way, and you kind of stop caring about visual appearances after the first few weeks. At the end of the day, it's all panels and buttons. As long as it's internally cohesive and consistent.
That's a side-effect of inhibiting cyclooxygenase-1, which correlates to mucus production, such as that which protects stomach linings. Ibuprofen is a non-selective "COX"=cyclooxygenase inhibitor so inhibits COX-2, correlated with inflammation, while undesirably also inhibiting COX-1.

This gives rise to the selective COX-2 inhibitors, meant to reduce inflammation with minimal mucus inhibition, such as Celebrex and Firocoxib.
I believe the difference is that you can buy bread without sugar without resorting to overpriced organic bread.
Sure, but adequate and auditable documentation need not involve the patient nor money. Just a "here is the medical care we dispersed, on this date, to this person, it took these resources, these people administered the care." No following up every record for payments, no arguing with insurance companies over the price.

And also, what abuse? If medical care is free and drugs are cheap, the only real abuse is drug abuse (by either seekers or medical personnel). With free access to proper care those drug abuse problems will sharply decrease, killing the market (the cause of the other half of drug abuse).

The only reason there is medicare fraud to worry about right now is because not everyone is supposed to be on it, the "fraud" is attempting to get free health care. Which wouldn't exist if everyone had it.

Fresh, constantly updated software thanks to rolling release

Uses LibreSSL by default instead of OpenSSL

No, that's very poor advice. Precious metals are comparable to individual stocks -- by making a purchase, you are not "investing"; you are speculating. There is no guarantee of long-term gains.

Just a nit pick: the maximum total employer plus employee contributions to all defined contribution plans by the same employer is $56,000 in 2019. This includes your maximum pre-tax contribution of $19,000. So the maximum you can contribute tax-advantaged (pre-tax 401k + after-tax 401k + $6,000 IRA) would be $62,000. Which, to your point, is beyond the savings reach of most folks.

It's helpful in the sense that there is some amount of people at the edges, who aren't financially literate, but would like to be. To them, credit cards may have always been described as a necessity. Telling them that holding a balance is bad may be enlightening to them, and be the thing that sets them on the right path.

Never underestimate the value of seemingly obvious advice.

Google is doing this, very publicly, with Fuchsia. Brand new kernel, not even POSIX compliant.

Microsoft is also doing this, in a different and substantially more expensive way [1]. Over the past several years they've been rewriting and unifying their disparate operating systems (Windows, Phone (before the fall), Xbox, etc) into a single modular kernel they're calling OneCore. Its more than likely that this work is based off of, if not totally contains, much of the NT kernel, but its the same line of thinking.

There is one massive rule when it comes to engineering management we see repeated over and over, yet no one listens: Do Not Rewrite. Period.

Apple is exemplary in this. We don't know how many changes they've made to iOS since its fork from MacOS long ago, which was based on BSD even longer ago. But have you used an iPad in recent history? Instant app starts. No lag. No-stutter rendering at 120fps. When HFS started giving them issues, they swapped it out with APFS. Apps are sandboxed completely from one-another, and have no way to break their sandbox even if the user wants them to. Etc. Comparing an iPad Pro's performance to most brand new Windows laptops is like fighting a low-orbit laser cannon with a civil war era musket. They've succeeded, however they managed to do that.

Point being, you don't rewrite. You learn, you adapt, and you iterate. We'll get there.

(And if you've read all this and then wondered "but isn't Fucshia a rewrite" you'd be right, and we should all have serious concerns about that OS ever seeing the light of day on a real product, and its quality once that happens. It won't be good. They can't even release a passable ChromeOS device [2])

Some people like it because it uses runit instead of systemd. Some people like it because you can choose between glibc and musl.

I tried the musl version but it didn’t work out for me. Things broke in strange ways.

These days I use KDE Neon, a distro based on Ubuntu.

My advice is, just try some of the different distros and see what works for you and what doesn’t. I have been through multiple different distros during the 10 years since I switched from Windows, but I only try new distros when there is a good reason to.

My only goal is to have something that works well for me. Currently KDE Neon gives me that. In the future something else might suit me better, who knows.
Really cool demonstration but I don't think it should really surprise anyone. You couldn't really fool a human checking fingerprints because a human has the ability to validate that they're checking the finger of an actual human.

So forget all the fancy ways of encoding our biology into unique patterns. Unless the system can detect that it's reading the arm of an actual human being we're always going to be vulnerable to this kind of attack.
I ran Void Linux for about a year. I thought it worked pretty well. I like the runit system, which proves you can do a sane service mangement without tons and tons of complexity (cough systemd cough). A lot of other stuff took a similar simple Unix approach, which I rather like (Linux, for better or worse, often takes a more complex approach).

The reason I stopped using it is because I changed jobs and had to run Vagrant, which doesn't work with the musl libc. I had to reinstall it to the glibc version, and figured I might as well use the more "mainstream" Arch Linux while I was at it, as I was a bit tired of having to spend effort in getting stuff like that to work.

Coding isn’t hard. Writing maintainable code is. And most people learn that only after they have to modify a large system they wrote themselves.
As someone who's had a permanent migraine since months ago, second on naproxen. Ibuprofen does nothing to relieve my headache, and so far the only drug I've found that's effective against it at least mildly is naproxen.

Don't take it every day though. Maybe once a month if I feel like the headache hurts me more than usual.
Art is about presentation of content, styling. Every cartoon has it's own way of doing 2D presentation in a way that content matches up to be pleasing to the eye. If UI is not designed to a consistent eye pleasing assortment of styled information, it doesn't work well. That's the whole point of native styling.
Not to mention that when the reasons why the Shuttle was expensive to reuse became known, absolutely nothing was done to rectify that over the 30+ year program.

SpaceX has already made numerous modifications to support reuse based on data from previous flights.
I am familiar with Jakob Nielsen's writings, and I stand by my statement. Effective UX design in the medical field takes years of experience. It's far more complex than most other business domains because every medical specialty has different requirements and there are so many edge cases. No one is capable of learning that stuff in a few hours.
It doesn't. Depending on where you look, 40 - 80 % of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck. (The Guardian says it's 80 %: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/jul/29/us-eco...)

I think what you are articulating is half true, or more so, half of the picture. People love big blockbusters more than ever. Game of thrones, The Avengers, etc. really show that it is a bifurcated market. I think the full effects of globalization have caused part of this (people around the world are less interested in the coming of age Boston story), so the studio pushes something with universal appeal. No one man band can compete with this. On the other side of the equation, I won’t be surprised if Joe Rogan gets a similar amount of views as Fox News. Ad spend seems to be significantly lagging viewership at the moment.
What do you think is going to happen if Google starts showing more ads?

> I read a really interesting thread recently, can't find it but the gist of it was Index Funds appreciating isn't guaranteed (as they're pitched) and localizing at a country level is a mistake for the future w/giant "emerging" economies in China / India.

China has supposedly grown up to 10% GDP year on year and yet returns on China ETFs were terrible. The expectation of growth has been priced in long ago - possibly more growth than will actually take place.

Plus, how would you know what the Chinese are up to? Do you speak Chinese? Are you going to follow Chinese news? If you're in the US, you get a much better impression of what's going on in the S&P500.

The problem is not modern c++, it's only when c++ tries to be a functional language that it becomes unreadable.

As I see it, there are multiple "sub languages" in c++:

-Macros: use as little as possible.

-Classic C: use only when interacting with C libraries, or in the few cases where it's more convenient (printf over cout).

-Classic C++ (classes, etc): use it all the time.

-Template meta programming: use only for simple things, eg containers.

-Functional C++: try to avoid.
