Correct - GIMP is (largely) focused on photo editing, while Krita is (largely) focused on digital painting. Although GIMP/Photoshop definitely support a digital painting workflow with custom brushes and the like - it's just not the primary focus.
It's quite unlikely many other countries are going to go quite as far disrupting natural pricing to make Tesla look almost affordable as Norway did.
"Instead, the company argues that the members of the class-action suit failed to demonstrate technical prowess..."

Yes, it's a widely known fact that people over the age of 27 lose a year's worth of "technical prowess" for every year they live. By the time someone is 50, they're barely capable of operating a spoon.
They have different focus, but both are raster editors. They do compete with each other.
Or, not coding.
I trust that there's enough questions and scrutiny about your anonymization, so I don't have any questions about that. Mine is more about implementation.

If I want to integrate this with a single page app (like Ember or React), are there enough API hooks on how I can track click events and page load events, etc in the JS? We threw together Google Analytics for our launch just so we would have SOME data, but we want to move away from it ASAP for privacy reasons.

Anymore about how it would compare to something like Piwik? (the product we're looking at).
im quite surprised that they would be willing to take such a risky bet. but after seeing Crimea get a pass from the West, more and more countries with authoritarian regime have become emboldened further more with the US in political disarray.

It appears that the leadership's patience has run out and it is nervous that it will spread to other cities like Wuhan, in which there's currently a massive protest ongoing.

This almost certainly means elevated levels of violence. They've already deployed tanks (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y1ezo6m8V8) in Wuhan which means the Hong Kong PLA garrison's APCs will be making a world media debut soon.
Are the existing methods to change policies good enough? Are they good enough for the case where the government is forceful and not listening to the people?

How much longer would have the Vietnam war lasted if it weren't for large scale marches?

How many people's life got ruined because of marijuana laws for decades. Could have this been avoided with better ways to address harsh laws?

Are there really no law today that are almost universally hated, but kept on the book because of lobbying by companies or vocal minority groups?
At least, that was a birthday present and it's her first name. The whole gmail typo stuff is hilarious though, that's for sharing.

Peter Thiel is a crook who conned the New Zealand government into giving him citizenship and then never showed up in the way he said he would.

He has no credibility when it comes to immigration.

What does that even mean? How do you kill yourself with a bucket of money?
API guarantees are still important even when a peripheral breaks. It's the difference between knowing how and where performance is degraded and what to work around, versus utter chaos.
#3 is in fact what they did, and what this post is mostly about, though their releases were apparently internal.
> Don't redesign the database schema at the same time you are rewriting.

100%. rewriting all layers simultaneously is the first step to never finishing.
In a discussion about age discrimination, yes, sweeping generalizations do support the argument. He’s not wrong.
Johnson accomplished a lot and, more importantly, in the correct order to make sure things got done. I think you're right though (and that he probably felt the same way) that he'll always be the Vietnam president. That may be a little unfair but it happened on his watch so that's what history will rightfully focus on.
Its market makers generally rather than HFT. Essentially they (market makers) agree to buy stock that you want to sell than they sell it to someone else. Problem is if the market moves against them, you could be a hedge fund manager that knows something they don't.

Robin hood customers don't really know anything, their trading is fairly random, so a market maker can be confident that if they buy the shares, the Robin hood customer doesn't know something they don't, that is worth something to them, and allows them to offer tighter spreads.
SpaceX? Or if your science isn't specifically on materials for rockets/physics for rockets/etc... you could be funded by a university or research institute and simply pay for (part of) a launch on a SpaceX rocket.

NASA still does quite a bit of science work though, so I wouldn't count them out entirely. Administrations come and go. Sometimes you just gotta keep your head down and keep doing your job until someone better is voted in.
Not mIRC, but I run x-chat and Slack side-by-side on a daily basis. Wholly different experience... I don’t think I’ve ever had to kill x-chat for pegging a CPU and killing my battery :)
Physics dictate that only one factory/office/home/bakery can occupy a particular location. So without the particular land for that particular bakery the bread wouldn’t exist either. People get all confused about basic economics, particularly real estate economics.

In most ways land is no different than other physical inputs in that they are “exclusive”. You can’t use the same wheat in two different loaves of bread are the same time either. And the same baker can’t work in two different bakeries at the same time.

The key thing that makes land different from other economic inputs is that it is immobile. This has many interesting implications but doesn’t make land useless or require a particular ownership system.

Sure you could imagine a different world with different legal system but that wouldn’t change the fact that land is needed for almost every economic activity and is thus valuable. So whoever decides who get to use (i.e. supplies) that land - let’s call them the landowner - is adding value to that economic activity.

Similar discussions around intangible assets are even more confusing.
Consciously or not, I've noticed that I too no longer trust Amazon to deliver on sensitive goods due to commingling:'

* I don't buy foodstuff or supplements from Amazon

* I don't buy things at high risk of exploding (batteries that weren't manufactured by who I expected)

* I don't buy high-volume counterfeit products (vacuums, for example)

I would rather take the 30 minutes out of my day to drive to a store where I trust the supply chain.
> no matter what OS you're on the desktop client is probably crappier than loading up the webpage

I don't see how it could ever be worse than the webpage. And it gives you nice perks like notification badge integration, which for me personally is essential.
All the ic’s on the board I used this technique on had leads, so I can’t comment on how dfn/qfn parts would work. Pan+sand would definitely be the first thing I try tho

Not that I agree or disagree, but that is simply an ad hominem attack.
In my case, it was the recruiter in Dublin, where I interviewed, writing "it looks like we are coming to a successful conclusion" about a week before I got the generic dismissal email.
Yeah, and a Rolls Royce is little more than a Honda with worse miles per gallon.
Bitbucket isn't really any better, they just surf the line of "right, that's it I'll just run Gitea on a local server, I've had enough" and convenience.
In the Moby issue you mention that you are using live restore (https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/live-restore/) which is most likely where the problem is. Docker daemon restarts, existing containers are kept alive, but the restarted Docker daemon doesn’t know about those existing containers yet and thus thinks their volumes are unused.
It's a two-way street. People feel humiliated, and CCP utilises this feeling to build up an xenophobic atmosphere which feeds back into the loop.

The funny and sad thing is that, one could say it's the CCP themselves who killed the most Chinese in the last century, speaking figuratively.

There are many things I don't agree with or quite understand about the front line protesters, but one thing I'm pretty sure is that they don't give a shit about the CCP image being tarnished.

They were shouting for revolutions in the streets already (whether it's a good or workable idea is up for debate), Xi's feeling is not their concern now.
There's stores like The Vitamin Shoppe, where you're going to get genuine products. Some manufacturers use labs such as USP to assure you're getting what you pay for. So, if you buy products with lab seals from reputable shops, you're probably safe.
Do you expect to scale up, and if so will you continue with this model? I took a look at your team page and you have 48 members, whereas GitLab is almost at 800.
Every new OSS repo's README should convince me to try it instead of the current standard tools, or at least compare it to them. In my case, I'd want to know what makes it better than Vuex.
I internalize this as every rewrite is a race to feature parity. Keep your races small and be prepared to call them off and devote energy elsewhere.
> I think the parent has made their position pretty clear through their employment choices,

Their employer has just received a 1 billion dollar cash investment to futz around with computers. I don't think the employment choice is some sort of personal sacrifice here.

The level of skin here is a cushy guaranteed job for years to come until the next AI-winter hits, likely set into motion by such very claims of "AGI" being near or feasible.

"AGI" is good marketing for getting money to research real AI, ostensibly on the path to "AGI", but if one drives it too far, one might up retarding the whole field as the hype winds down (again).
does anyone serious (non-encumbered) actually believe that?
Thought about adding some words to the data output using natural language generation? Eg arria.com or other nlg vendor?
Awesome that you're using Ember! I'm hoping that (from my earlier question) I'll be easily able to track of page load/unload events using route transitions if I'm using this product.
In a class action, lawyers don’t get paid if they lose.
Well, you are supposed to be able to delete all your volumes, containers and networks and then regenerate

So then Docker is designed to treat all of those as disposable.

I just searched "recette" and only came up with French cooking references.
According to some comments from openai employees in other comments, it's not really open already.
Then don’t sell it. You created the platform.
Are you asking because this happened to you? You can subpoena the CVs of the people invited to the interview and you can cite the hiring/interview practices of the company and its record on age-related hiring and firing. That said, it's usually after the interview and rejection that you bring a successful case. If your point was that so many people over a certain age don't even get asked to the interview in the first place, and that's where the discrimination gets most people, you'd be right! In that many "elderly" (wink/over 30) workers have some valuable experience and maybe some great ideas, not to mention wonderful facility, we may have to consider: does high level work actually need doing?
I'm not sure that the information from such experiments is only really relevant to applications in microgravity environments. (Hopefully I'm not misunderstanding your point too much.)

The data points from microgravity experiments don't exist in isolation; presumably there are data points for similar experiments at surface gravity. Removing gravity from a system could say very much about how gravity affects the system, and thus how the system works on Earth.

We also might discover effects so important that it would be worth going to microgravity to get them. Stepping out into the unknown just to learn how it works is important.

(Disclaimer: I know jack about what kind of microgravity experiments are going on.)
Yep, I am not a user of any of these services yet... but if I did go with one it would definitely require linux support and knowing I can trust the company wouldn't screw me. Just because the current sales are low does not mean there's no ability to make good future sales.
I had it described to me that class actions are less about making the wronged parties whole, and more about forming large enough sticks to beat misbehaving entities about the head with.
Knew a person who worked there at the time and they said the problem no one could solve was optimizing logistics because they couldn't cherry pick their customers. One order could be halfway across town from the next, and they had to fulfill that in a timely manner.
This should be bigger news.
Should Ubuntu Use the BFQ I/O Scheduler?
Yep, normally when there is a sentence like:

>We originally discovered the issue with an October 2018 Update (version 1809) PC. We found similar setup experiences on two different machines by different manufacturers.

Ther is a link to a reference, unless "they" dicovered it and told nobody.
especially when you look at the scientific pay-off from relatively cheap unmanned space exploration vs. what we get from shooting humans onto the space equivalent of the front step of the house.
By demonstrating age discrimination?
Thank you! I read the first sentence and had to speak "bullshit" out loud. Sometimes rewriting something feels so good. Especially after some time has past and you are still in the process of learning. You apply all the things you have learned and your are amazed how much better it has become.
That was how I originally used HN comments too. It was a way of not having a blog.
Slack is like the shared OS we never had
Osgood (a new server-side JavaScript platform) and CouchDB
I don't really understand the hacker love for IRC. It's always been hard to figure out what level of encryption you can expect, what plugins are supported on what clients, using it from multiple devices was never a good experience, you miss any messages sent while your pc was off, very poor support for searching server history for messages with certain text, sending files can be confusing, etc. Having a snappy client is cool but it'd be cooler if it supported half the modern features people enjoy when using chat.
If you strip out the AGI hype then this just sounds like OpenAI is now moving to monetizing their tech. This makes sense for them but probably not for the philanthropists who originally backed them.

Sadly for them, AGI is metaphysically impossible - this will be realized eventually but a lot of waste and possibly harm will happen first.

We are not just super sophisticated machines, so the fact that we can think doesn’t tell us anything about what’s possible for machines. But philosophy does - and it tells us you can’t get mind from matter, no matter what configuration you put it in.
I was always under the impression that Azure had a lead in ML-as-a-service.

I really liked LUIS (Language Understanding Intelligent Service) back in 2017 and AFAIK only Alibaba had an offering similar to Azure at the time for ML-as-a-service.
I've found that with myself, as I get older I get more selective with what new stuff I learned. I've seen so many fads come and go, and don't really have a whole lot of time ahead of me, so I need to make sure that what I learn really counts.
Why is software created using taxpayers’ money not released as Free Software?
Martin Aston should quit his job at Airbus and get a job at Aston Martin. Martin Aston working for Aston Martin only seems fitting, right?
"Yeah, no, you are redefining factorial in terms of different `pred` functions, and I'm simply defining `prev` without redefining factorial."

No, you are not simply defining `prev`, you are creating a new class using `computer` as a base and supplying all its methods with the new definition of `prev`.

Let me complete your example:

class computer = object(self)

method factorial x =
if x = 0
then 1
else x * self#factorial (self#pred x)

method pred x = x - 1

end

class computer_enhanced = object
inherit computer

method pred x = x
end

obj_computer = new computer
obj_computer.factorial(5) //still works

obj_computer_enhanced = new computer_enhanced
obj_computer_enhanced.factorial(5) //stack overflow

And the same with my example:

let rec fact(x, prev) = if x <= 1 then 1 else x * fact(prev(x), prev);;
let factorial(x) = fact(x, fun x -> x-1);;
let enhanced_factorial(x) = fact(x, fun x -> x);;

factorial(5);; (*works*)
enhanced_factorial(5);; (*stack overflow*)

In both cases the old `factorial` works and the enhanced one fails.

My web browser has windows and tabs and lets me open Slack in multiple places if I want to see more than one view of Slack at the same time.

I usually don't need to do that, but when I do it's annoying that the desktop client prevents it.

It's fine that my phone doesn't let me open two text conversations at once since that's all the space it has, but on a computer with a 24+ inch screen and multiple virtual desktop spaces with different sets of tasks, it's a pointless limitation.
Rewriting things always "feels so good", which is why people offer up the advice not to do it.
That’s rather solipsistic
I think fewer features can be a very good thing actually.
Starcourt Mall was built out of a real failing mall. It's entirely possible that in a few years it will go bankrupt and you'll be able to explore the building, even if the set dressing isn't there anymore.
Personally I don't think other countries are willing to sanction China just for Hong Kong.

But it is a piece on the chessboard, for sure.
Also completely shocking to me.
There really is a difference between being able to logically refute an idea and for that refutation to hold any sway; if anything, there's a lot of evidence against what you're saying. Consider the widespread climate change skepticism movements, flat earth movements, anti-vaccination movements, the rise of far-right and neo-Nazism, and recent political happenings (e.g. the Brexit campaign tactic claiming that money given to the EU would be able to fund the health service in the UK).

Can their arguments be countered and argued against? Of course, most people would say so. But does that mean that they'll be defeated in the court of public opinion? Consider that society does not function as and is not based upon systems of rational deliberation. The intellectuals may not be convinced by bad ideas and arguments, but the public is, and the importance of the public here is shown in the fact that all the movements I've named also take advantage of rhetoric, not merely logical argumentation.

So the real question is: if open and fair scrutiny is a way to defeat a bad argument, what's the way to defeat the rhetoric used to prop up that bad argument? It's clear that one can have rhetoric with a bad argument too, isn't it?
I would ask for evidence to support your claim, but I think Newton’s Flaming Laser Sword probably applies in this case.
Ha! You beat me on making that recommendation. I have used a BC700 for about two years now, and am very satisfied with it.

I particularly appreciate how each of the four battery slots is separate. Not only does that mean each battery can be doing something different (charging, refreshing, etc.), it also means you can remove and insert different batteries at different times. This is great when some batteries are more (or less) discharged than others.

Also, worth noting that the BC700 supports NiCd and NiMH, in addition to AA and AAA.
AMD exec: Nvidia fell for our double bluff
It certainly helps make the argument not to move some stuff to the cloud, there is still a case for on premise as always the answer is "it depends".
I think it's more likely that this conclusion is true than that it's false.

However, the fine article says: "We admitted 10 male and 10 female weight-stable adults".

That is a ridiculously small population to start with. Yes, yes, I know it's expensive to have many participants, but part of the broader problem in today's science is that too many experiments are accepted broadly even though they are based on tiny sample sizes. This is an excellent justification for conducting a larger study, not a conclusion in itself.
Time to start going back to using a decentralized git archive, like git-ssb.

Well, I guess it also doesn’t help that I’ve only used Docker with AWS Fargate (aka “Serverless Docker”) - where nothing is persistent.
Looks better than Redux, but then again what doesn't?
I'm surprised I apparently need to explain myself for such an innocuous comment!

I'm not in disagreement with you or the other people who have replied in a similar manner. I'm only talking about the people who smother their pets in what they deem to be affection, ignoring the obvious signs of dislike or tension mentioned in the article. You know, the people who like to drag their cats out from their hiding places or chase them down for pets and hugs when they try to run away. They're essentially helpless against our good intentions.

If engagement between the pet and owner is mutual, or if the pet is actively seeking this affection, then my comment obviously does not apply. My comment only says to imagine the engagement from their point of view also.
I'll add Matt Levine's insightful take here [0], which delves a bit into the "deal for order flow" controversy, and also makes the unique claim that for Robinhood to engage in this is very much in line with "taking from the rich and giving to the poor", because it does guarantee price improvement for RH users.

Oh that's a good point. I was referring to Algolia vs self hosted ES and that's why I pointed out that it depends on the usage (how much power you need and how many people to maintain it).
Where do you count as "the north" ? Plenty of delivery vans around in Manchester.
One solution to this is to improve the visa situations for Chinese nationals. If it weren’t such a pain to travel to western countries with a chinese passport there may be less demand for these foreign residency schemes.
Maybe empathy comes in when trying to frame criticism in a constructive way that the receiver will internalize and find helpful?

In some cases, it might be better to ask them about reasoning around a particular bit of code than to offer alternatives right away.
In others, a good idea or anecdote about something you found useful in that spot, might be better received.

In my experience, there is a good amount of empathy (or emotional awareness) involved in offering advice that will be accepted in a constructive spirit, and not seen as an attack.

After all, we ALL write bad code sometimes. A bit of code might seem like a good idea at the time, but could just be overly "clever" upon later inspection. A good review comment that does not point fingers seems like it would fall under the "empathy" umbrella.
