I'm no expert in this, but I think step 1 would be deciding between vectors or pixels. For this it would be important what the use-case is.

Vectors are cooler, but you'll need more magic for performance I bet.

With that decision done maybe just throw together a small iterative prototype to try things?: draw a straight line, draw it with the cursor/mouse/touch, draw a spline, draw free-hand. Layers, saving, blending, brushes....
A friend of my wife hooked up with a college lecturer in his 60s a while back, maybe 10 years ago. She was cleaning up his kitchen when she came across an old tin of baked beans at the back of a cupboard, with the price on it in old money.

I'm not old enough to have used old money myself, but we were still using the old shillings as 5 pence pieces when I was a kid. I remember using half penny coins as well. We had a jar of big old money coins in a jar, with pennies, farthings and at least one three pence piece.

I admire her for owning it and saying sorry. Plus they fixed it pretty quickly.
Unmissable Content Marketing Statistics to Guide Your Strategy
I used to work in this WP field and I can confirm your story about this industry clients devs. I have one more story:

Back then (maybe still possible now?), if you have a custom plugin named "abc" but which is not uploaded to wp.org repository, I can upload a plugin with the same id "abc" to wp.org, bump the version and WordPress will suggest to update the plugin. This will replace the real plugin with yours. I voiced the problem to the WP guys but they seemed cool with it.
I find it very hard to imagine that a 74 years old technology remains complex enough to be available only to governements.
I do remember hosting on consumer CPUs was a thing a decade ago, but then declined rapidly after n-core server chips took over because they provided better per core price.

Now I believe, things may go the other way around as consumer chips are now gaining a lot in core count.

Its exactly that point that we are currently working on with fossil fuel, and we are failing. But thats no reason to just blindly accept a few trillion in public risk and actual losses. "Since we are fucking up majorly already" is not a justification to burn through even more tax payers money. Differently put, just because someone steals from the shop and wasnt caught yet doesnt mean everyone should just start shoplifting. We cant keep adding more longterm problems for a quick profit.

We are currently looking for a replacement that doesnt externalize costs through environmental damages. I dont think nuclear is an alternative here today from a price point, and looking at the few times pro nuclear people talk about waste management costs, they dont seem to think so either. They mostly tend to give the same answer you did, which isnt an answer. Even if we were to decide today that nuclear would be the lesser evil, we cant do that without a cost overview. We have to at least understand what follow up costs we are leaving the generations after us and look what alternatives we have at that price point. And i dont think many taxpayers understood that Fukushima was an actual liability of more then half a trillion dollars and to how much that adds up to for nuclear all together.

And again, we are in an emergency situation with fossil fuels, and sure, we can talk about how much it would cost in liabilities and actual damages to switch completely to nuclear. It might be worth it for all i know. But if you arent even gonna give me an approximate cost to the taxpayer i will assume you are trying to scam me out of money. Unless we can have an honest discussion on a societal level about the realistic costs on taxpayers its an absolutely horrible idea to build even one more nuclear power plant. While i would love for the German nuclear power plants to run till the end of their planed lifetime to not waste the initial investment into relatively safe reactors, not allowing the building of new ones is the right decision as long as the costs are not transparent. If we should have learned anything from fossil fuel and all the other horrible side effects of technological development, we should at least have learned to make a proper technology (consequences) assessment (Technikfolgenabschätzung) and deliberately act on actual data instead of doing stuff that seems without alternative.
“Is it really that that much more expensive to make two more crayons”

Baseline, 50% increase in materials costs, unless they make all the crayons correspondingly smaller. New packaging, unless they make the crayons thinner, which solves for the first issue too, I suppose. Modify marketing materials and website. Add a SKU. Make space in the warehouse. Double the cost initially? Then amortize that out as they take a serious bite out of the 4-color crayon pack market... profit! Maybe.

Scraping Images with Python
The issue with the press backlash was that originally the press embargoes for both the AMD and Intel HEDT parts were both set for the same day and time (Mon Nov 25 @ 9AM Eastern) but then a few days before embargo lift, Intel shifted their embargo time a few hours earlier (3AM Eastern), presumably in a bid to get press to publish their Intel 10980XE reviews without being able to compare to the new (3970X/3970X) Threadrippers (which, incidentally, by and large crush the Intel chip's performance).

This only partly worked - due to how late they changed the times, I saw a bunch of publications just waited until the original embargo time anyway rather than redoing all their comparison slides, and of course, it got everyone to talk about how badly the Intel chips fare, but that was somewhat inevitable no matter what embargo shenanigans they did.

More interesting I think is that in some of the workloads where Intel did fare well, this was via some pretty questionable means (suggesting to reviewers to use MKL-apps that specifically cripple AMD chips without mentioning that): https://www.extremetech.com/computing/302650-how-to-bypass-m... - at least in the case of Matlab, this can be worked around via an environment setting.

Interestingly, someone pointed out today that the FTC specifically called out the MKL and ordered them to stop doing this back in 2009-2010: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/e4klj0/intel_is_still_...

5 Reasons Why You Must Buy Bitcoins Now
I think it's reasonable to want that in principle, but in practice it gets really messy. What if I use a library which returns me a manually-mis-managed pointer (either due to a library bug or me not setting up manual memory management correctly when initializing the library) which segfaults on read or write? That's kind of spooky behavior in a language that prides itself on simplicity.

There are ways that could be done (for example by making the type system aware of whether or not something is hand-managed and potentially unsafe) but not without adding considerable complexity to the language and, presumably, the implementation.
Probably somewhere on the other side of the looking glass … I mean freenode.

About all it implies about Go is that the language as an integrated system isn't yet fully polished. There is a corner case of strange behaviour due to aggressive GC when the absolute memory requirements of the program aren't large. It can be worked around by making them larger by a ballast allocation. This is not "time to find a new language", it's a small issue with a known fix and there's a proposal to repair it at source in the pipeline.
> There are no rabbits in the hat until late 2021 when 7nm comes to market. The 10nm process is completely broken. Watch how the majority of the roadmap is still on 14nm into 2021, there never will be a desktop 10nm for example.

From what I heard from a man close to Intel process crowd is that Intel will simply slap a 7nm marketing designation on their current 10nm process when they finally get it going.

They will then change design rules to deliver enough density change, comparable to a node shrink without any change in the process.
“wasn't entirely his fault”

Nobody says it was; such disasters are often multifactorial. But given to his position that person holds key knowledge and insights into what went wrong that no-one else has. Without access to that information, investigators can only hypothesize.

This is why things like whistleblower laws and indemnity insurance exist, to enable the full and unvarnished truth to come out. How are errors meant to be fixed correctly when you don’t have all the information as to the cause?

Compare how air crash investigations work. Or research into procedural improvements to hospital hygene. There are things far more important than just finding people to blame.

Semi-related, one comparison I'd like to see is pre-sliced fruit in plastic containers versus the whole fruit.

These regularly get attacked as signs of how wasteful we are (which I generally agree with) and people defend them because people with various kinds of physical impairments might find it hard to peel a fruit.

But I think if you recycle the skins/seeds/waste properly in a factory, wrap it in lightweight plastic and account for the reduced shipping weight, then you might come out ahead even if you ignore the benefits of eating more fruit.

> "hacking" aka "going fast and breaking things"

Your premise is wrong. Hacking is making things do stuff which was thought to be not possible before (like making an 8 color machine produce 16 color output by wizardry), making a computer meant for static business applications play highly interactive real time games etc (2) creating "art" from computation, peered by your equally skilled friends to get street cred and respect and your co-hackers will one-up you by creating even more beautiful art.

The second point makes the definition very subjective though. But I hope you got the jist.

Sounds like gatekeeping to me.

Hacking of yore largely was like theoretical maths. Isolated from the real world and of little practicable use, yet.

It was a closed eco system in the 70s-90s. You either had to steal or be rich to get access to a machine.

Yes, real steel from the likes of DEC, IBM, ICL et al were magic. The early days of networked OSs equally wonderful.

But.

Now, with an ESP I can have a battery powered, wirelessly networked computer to do pretty much anything I want, for $10 and power budget of 100ma.

If you want to see where low lever hacking has gone, look at the micro-controllers. They are literally taking over the world, run by no small part, by keen amateurs.

It's definitely an issue across many fields and I don't have any other explanation than pride and "confidence" issues. A similar thing is AI and stats which have only really converged in the 1990s and are still quite separate communities, or reinforcement learning and control theory which investigate overlapping issues from different angles but haven't communicated for a long time.

Well then what holds someone back from learning state-of-the-art stats and making a name for themselves in econometrics?
> That’s a cudgel to ignore the fact that being anti-nuclear means being pro-fossil fuels.

I dont think so. We may have a common competitor yet also be in competition. Solar and wind have very complimentary output patterns (combining two variable sources produces a less variable source even without the modest degree of anti correlation which is present between wind and solar). Nuclears output pattern really begs to be constant, it never wants to ramp down because there is almost no savings, whereas solar and wind can clash but also leave each other demand windows.
People responded to the request for citation already, but Google ROI will get you a lot of sources. Wind is in fact one of (often the) cheapest options, so the OP was wrong.
To add to your point of "we just need more research to make nuclear viable", nuclear has been the most subsidised (also in research funding) energy source, it has not gotten us there over the last 60 years.
And regarding adding the cost of battery, this is the baseload myth, actually nuclear power plans are much worse than wind power. Having power plants that don't easily adjust to load is worse for a network than ones that change. There is actually research that shows if your network is large and modern enough (the wind always blows somewhere) you could work with only wind or solar. You could not if you only have nuclear power plants. You then need adjustable loads (Belgium does illuminate all there highways for this reason) .
> Some people would consider homosexuality obscene on what could be interpreted as a family or community product.

Anyone who would consider an image of a heterosexual couple kissing to be family friendly, but an image of a homosexual couple kissing to be obscene, is a bigot whose views should not be catered to.
Let's put some numbers to the initiation of this. The entire fleet of reactors in France will after 50 year of operation have produced 5300m3 of high-level waste (the kind you need to store long term). That amounts to less than 400 boxes able to contain a Tesla Model S. 50 years of operation generating 300-400 TWh yearly.

I'm not saying it's not problematic, but it's minuscule compared to all forms of power. Even wind power have a serious waste problem when the blades need to be decommissioned. It's not radioactive, but it needs to be stored, and there is a lot of it.

A friend from a laptop engineering company has worked on this exact problem recently. Chinese OEMs are all trying to squeeze 35-45w chips into small chassis now.

To my big surprise, doing so in even thin bezel 13 inch models is not that big of a deal actually. Big OEMs simply were never bothered enough to try that before.

I'd say that is pretty clearly more than just an SDK.
