Pantone swatches, image trace, artboards, plugins are the 4 biggies. Especially plugins, of which I have a large variety and many custom scripts.

One other thing that stands alone and is absolutely critical, that would seem to work in Designer but doesn't, is export for embroidery. It is a quirk of my local shop but there is no vector export format from Designer that my shop can use. They end up importing ("digitizing") a jpeg. This causes many more steps in the approval workflow. With Illustrator I just export an eps and they import that and it comes out perfect basically the first time. Obviously Designer can export eps but the software on the other side doesn't like it. (And even though their software can handle native illustrator, import of that doesn't work either. Has to be eps, from Illustrator, not Designer.) I'm 100% sure it's their crap embroidery software (I mean, they are using win95 if that indicates anything), but it is what it is. It's especially odd because embroidery is very low resolution. jpeg should be perfectly fine!! I just get way better final results with the eps flow.

That embroidery issue doesn't come into my evaluation of the goodness or not of Designer as a standalone tool. I just mention it because it does affect me and I think it's an interesting point to bring up. I'm sure many many people are dependent on Illustrator for similar workflow/pipeline issues. It doesn't make the software good or bad, but does create the dependence.

I think the issue people have is they get insulted when you say the software they enjoy to use is not very good. But there are 2 kinds of good. Absolute and relative. Relative to Illustrator, Designer doesn't compare. That is my critique.

There are some things I do like very much about Designer. Personas. Slices. SVG support is much better (keep in mind tho I'm stuck on CS6). These things, however, do not begin to challenge Illustrator.

I understand why Serif would want to stand apart with their own feature set, but now I find myself using 2 tools. Oh how I, and many other non-professional users, would love to replace Illustrator.

Keep in mind, I believe I am in the target demographic for Designer. I am an occasional user, not a daily use professional. The price and pricing model is perfection. The ease of use is perfection. I dare say that the online userbase/forums and free tips and help you can get are much much better. But the lack of features is saddening.

It's interesting because Serif (the company) does not compete with Adobe (the company), even though at a surface level they would appear to. The cost difference between Illustrator and Designer is worlds apart. Maybe this is why they don't work on feature parity. They don't want to be on Adobe's radar.

With Catalina, I'm soon going to have to bail on Illustrator. I'll probably have to invest some time in Inkscape. I could pirate CC or I could use CS6 in Windows VM (again, technically pirating although many would justify it), but I'm not that person.
I mean, you just kind of proved our point, here. You immediately started talking about how CO2 will cause warming, and so many people like me are just gonna tune out from there because we're so desensitized from all this warming false alarmism. I'm sorry, maybe there really is some merit to your words, but the boy has cried wolf too many times.

Do you have any arguments about how and why we should save the earth that don't involve warming? Let's try one of those.
My former employer pulled in a few AWS data scientists to consult with us on a few projects and based on my interactions it seemed like they were under some directive to strongly discourage anything that wasn't a built-in AWS plug-and-play sagemaker algorithm.

People being convinced by reasoned argument, and perhaps by skilled oratory is how the political process works.

People being convinced by outright lies is not how democracy works. If one side can gain the advantage by telling people that the other side currently forbids them buying four bananas at a time, and be believed, even given the extremely obvious evidence against it, then the system is broken.

I think this risk is oversold as a steady-state problem: nobody feels this way about every tiny marginal bit of electricity use, because we've habituated to a longer cycle of feedback (ie power use was high this month, try to be more mindful on average).

That being said, I think this is one of the biggest hurdles in the transition from where we are to a payments-based system.

Comparing the battery & motor in a vacuum cleaner and a car is ridiculous.

Dyson is famous for tiny high RPM motors which are cool but irrelevant in a car (?), and the battery in it's latest vacuum has 7 cells - my Tesla has over 7000.
<h1>Whoops, looks like something went wrong.</h1>
I have two comparisons in mind. I've used a corded, $500 Dyson, and it's really awful. So many little, annoying design decisions and just an overall lack of power for a corded vacuum.

For the cordless ones, I've used the V7 (I think), and it's worse than a comparable Bosch.

Again, I'm not saying that Dysons are bad or anything... It's just the hype seems to far outmatch the actual quality when you go to use them, and it's taken them years and years just to get competitive.

The laptops which we will be delivering with open firmware will require the FSP and Intel ME, with the Intel GOP driver being an optional component to enable graphics acceleration in UEFI. The ME is disabled by way of a HECI message early in the boot process, so there are no runtime ME components similar to using the HAP bit on older ME versions.

My wife always loved her dust buster and rarely, if ever, used a regular vacuum. It never held a charge, didn't have much suction, and was really difficult to empty and clean. She loves her Dyson stick vacuum. She gushes about it when it comes up. It's better at each of those things, but isn't great.

Personally, I like using the Roomba. It's not great, either, but I don't mind picking up the room and letting it run.

I'm sure there's a large market for traditional vacuums, those always seem to get most recommended. Miele canisters are always considered "the best," but reviewers know most people aren't interested just because of the price.

I installed NetNewsWire 5.0[0] when it was launched and subscribed to a bunch of RSS feeds. In my opinion, a native desktop application that downloads content for offline consumption, without CSS, javascript, advertisements, trackers and GDPR pop-ups has led to an incredible experience!

If you publish to your own blog, social media will not be able to censor you. You won’t be required to conform to “community guidelines” that you disagree with, just to reach a target audience. You will own all the IP and content that you create.

I want RSS feed readers and personal blogs to be the future. In my own blog, I’ve started sharing links to other blogs I like - and I hope that one day, people who like my blog will link to me. I hope to eventually acquire readers who come to my blog via a network of high quality recommendations from other bloggers, and they will discover more blogs from those I recommend - all of this without the tyranny of a single social media company controlling “how information flows through their network”

Give NetNewsWire or your favorite RSS feed reader a try. There are several old AskHN posts that have a large number of fantastic RSS feeds you can subscribe to. Try it for a month and see if you agree with me.

Plus our municipal garbage pickup explicitly requires you to bag dirty or dusty trash like this (ex: furnace filters) so I end up transferring from a bag-less vacuum to a bag, plus get dirt and dust everywhere and can never get all the crud out of the vacuum canister.

The vacuum is OK, but having to clean the canister multiple times per use is a major pain. Bagged are superior for this reason alone.

I understand and sympathize. I'm saying it isn't naturally this way. Your administrators were not capable of doing their jobs. Which is what I suspect of most of American schools: teachers and administrators have poor competency. I'm not sure what this stems from but it seems fairly true.

Things not being free isn't a very compelling argument for inventing a problem and charging for its solution while adding no value.

That's called rent-seeking.
Yes, I've seen that slide. In fact, it was exactly what I had in mind when I said to pytester below that "Barnier has been crystal clear about what is required of the UK and what the options are". Certainly you are right about what has been the Tory negotiating strategy.

I meant, however, that she could have attempted to sell it to the hardliners in her party or, more likely, cross-party as described below. None of the red lines were inevitable, because no one knows why Leave won. Some say immigration, some say sovereignty, ECJ, payments that could "fund our NHS", and myriad other things. Some in Labour are even said to have supported it to get around state aid rules.

So there was a fundamental lack of clarity what the referendum had actually meant shortly after it passed. That was TM's window of opportunity to show some leadership and choose an interpretation of the referendum that could command majority support.

If she had presented a soft Brexit agreement to the house, yes, she would have thrown the DUP and ERG under the bus, but she also would have put Labour, LD, etc into an extremely difficult position. At the time, they all said "we should respect the referendum". If they had rejected a soft WA the blame would be all on them instead of, as it is now, on the Tories. She would have faced accusations of being a closet Remainer, but she got that anyway.

I am convinced everyone hates the DUP and very few like the ERG. Instead of tossing them, the Tories toss Ken Clarke and Nick Soames? Sounds like a bad plan.

My elementary school age kids have had multiple teachers since kindergarten. Throughout the week, they go to separate classes for health and fitness (i.e. "PE"), music, art, and the library.

I don't think the transition to more separate specialized classes is a big part of it. It's mostly hormones and their brain powering up the social reasoning facilities and emotions without yet having the life experience to manage those feelings.

Middle school is right around the time that your social status and reputation — your image in the eyes of your peers — becomes an important part of your sense of self and self worth. But that status and reputation is heavily influenced by everyone around you. It's like all of a sudden these kids all wake up with giant targets floating above their heads and rocks in their hands.

By high school, they will have internalized some of the norms around how to not use the weapons they have — in large part because of their experiences now — but middle school is a time of experimentation and mistake-making, so there ends up being a lot of random collateral emotional damage.
It currently doesn't do fully hermetic configurations (as in, where it is impossible for any inputs to come outside of the project). Instead build2 does high-fidelity builds where it makes sure that if any of the inputs change (including options, environment, compiler itself, etc), the target gets rebuilt. See my reply to a sibling comment for some details. We do plan to add support for hermetic builds though it won't be exactly like Bazel's -- the idea is to prevent and, where not possible, detect external changes and fail rather than rebuilding.

Regarding caching (and distributed compilation), this is currently on the TODO list though a lot of the infrastructure is already there. For example, the same change detection that is used for high-fidelity builds will be used to decide if what's in the cache is usable in any particular build.

While I agree we should mention these points in the documentation (things are still WIP on that front), I don't think cross-compilation deserves mentioning: for any modern build system it should just work. In build2 we simply implement things in the "cross-compile first" way, with native compilation being a special case (host == target).

> I am not a grunt who thinks wars can only be won with boots on the ground. However, all wars must eventually be won with boots on the ground.

This has to be an over-simplification, and we should think this narrowly about armed human conflict. It's definitely possible to win a war by simply not fighting it, to win a war via stalemate (cold war), by finding a political alternative, or by just not showing up.
There's also the risk that the US President might unilaterally ban American corporations from doing any business with you. Through secondary sanctions, that ban will extend to corporations around the world. The US has arbitrarily cut off entire countries from the world market, including Iran and Venezuela, and it has cut off individual corporations as well, including Huawei and ZTE.

Everyone here seems to be up in arms about an NBA exec having to retract a tweet, but the US is throwing its weight around in much more damaging ways at the moment. The entire country of Iran is being economically strangled at the moment, based on the sole, arbitrary decision of the US President, but nobody seems to care too much.
