This is an age old question when converting 4:3 footage to 16:9. Do you keep the original aspect ratio (OAR) in the converted footage to keep the purists happy (small percentage of audience), or do you fill the frame with as much picture as possible to avoid mattes to keep the average content consumer happy (much larger % of audience)? At the end of the day, the producers will make the decision that they feel will please the largest group of viewers.

I have personally been involved with these types of projects. The purists are the smaller section, but they are much more vocal on the internet. While reading forums and tweets and other soapboxes, these purists will eviscerate you publicly. However, using other metrics (sales figures, independent surveys, etc), the numbers show that the overall product is well received. There are so many people online that believe they know everything, but know nothing; yet these people are the most vocal. I was once accused of uprezing existing video tapes rather than re-scanning the film like the company claimed. Never mind that I was personally carrying the film to the transfer house. We took pictures of the employees with the film, took shots of the film on the shelves in the vaults, and wound up making "making of" type documentaries showing the process of the film on the telecine, interviewing the colorist transferring the film, showing the artists doing the restoration, and the sound department working with the audio from the original optical track, etc. Still, the know-it-alls kept on yelling.
This aims to solve all the problems that Flutter already does. Except now with XML syntax.

I didn’t like how “uncommon” Dart and Flutter were until I used them. But I’ve really come around on both after starting to use them.

This though, cool, but I see no possibility of traction.
... and US diplomats would never do anything like that ... https://inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/cars/foreign-diplomats-d...
Yea, but it applies to shorting more than most other forms of speculation.

When you buy a stock because you think it's going to go up, the maximum amount of money you could loose for being wrong is whatever you spent on buying it.

When you sell/don't buy a stock because you think it's going to go down, you're only loosing potential upside, there is no downside. In other words, there's no way for it to cause you to have less money than you have today.

But, when you short a stock, your potential downside is uncapped. That stock can keep going up to infinity, and as it does, your losses go up towards infinity.

A counterpoint: A friend of mine had a kid a year ago and he found it impossible to take care of the baby when he tried being the caretaker while the mom was away (can't breastfeed, milk in a bottle is not the same). The experience has convinced him equal parental leave is a terrible idea.
This is a framework to give both, father and mother, a choice. Nobody is pressured to take it, but they are able to if they want. That's the differences.

Effectively it does away a implicit pressure that the mother needs to be home and the father needs to work, i.e., the contrary you suggest. Celebration does nothing to help any side of this, if facing reality when bringing up a child.
Such improvements for equal chances allow to do that though.

As said, nobody is forced too, if they do want to keep the "old fashioned roles", for whatever reason, sensible or not, they may still do so.

But Boeing and Exxon both are still around and still profitable and did not need to fall back on the principle of limited liability to protect their shareholders. So if anything that would indicate to me as a shareholder that both companies are not that bad at quantifying risk. Limited liability makes it less risky to invest in smaller, less established companies. Those with well established histories like Boeing and Exxon seem like they would actually be helped by eliminating limited liability as they have long histories of not needing to use it.

There are commenters here with firsthand knowledge of how this stuff works --- we even had a commenter yesterday who apparently got the IDP RFP for this application, and turned it down. If your only background in this subject is supporting a particular candidate and reading a conspiracy piece by Matt Stoller, maybe you should ask questions more than make statements.

Unfortunately there is a large number of people who somehow feel apathy and silence is the best way to get attention in a huge crowd of people making their choices known.

Having worked in the ERP space for close to 15 years, I have seen no other software even come close to the features of SAP & Oracle. A lot of next gen software even lacked basic features like revenue splitting or multi-currency or multi-org that are pivotal to any company that has any more than 500M in revenue.
I thought the same thing regarding Flutter. IDK. It’s cool to have small projects that might bring innovation, but I don’t see it here either.
Wowser, what work do you do?

Have you never been involved in a long project that was initially unfruitful but ultimately rewarding when you stuck at it? It's not supposed to be enjoyable, you're nurturing your child to establish the foundation on which your life together is built and to help them prosper.

You're right, it's extremely mentally challenging in those first months before they start to communicate with you directly (as opposed to general communication of crying!). But it's part of the whole experience that bonds you together in a way I'd never have imagined was possible.
Systemic Risk of Pandemic via Novel Pathogens-Coronavirus [pdf]
Working outside SAP for things you are using SAP is one of the worst ideas, ever. You create data redundancy, jeopardize compliance, erode user trust and make migration and even simple changes near impossible. So yes, forbidding that is a good idea. One I enforced more than once. Well, at least I tried. Might even have worked once or twice.

Reasons why people started working outside of SAP:

- because they didn't know the system well enough and didn't receive proper training. Sometimes also out of pure spite.

- sometimes because SAP didn't have that functionality yet. Ship planning for example was an issue in the early 2000s IIRC

- because people wanted and had to use a SAP-standard process, but couldn't because somepone else ripped that standard appart to do something differetn. Either because the original standard for that was itself ripped appart by someone else. Or because people refuse to follow the standard out of reasons. Misusing standards is beast in SAP. Once you start with a single process, that spirals out of control and cannot be stopped. Part of the reason a lot SAP implementations just suck. Not purelySAPs fault so.
That doesn't mean that it's a good idea to have it.

My guess is either (a) they're hand-counting all the paper backups, and/or (b) campaigns are chiming in and confirming or disputing results before the IDP makes the result public, which means more time for folks to weigh in and more fact-gathering before the public knows the results. And that while this wasn't the plan, the initial things going wrong caused such distrust in the process they felt this was necessary.

You fully understand the difficulty, stop gaslighting (I mean that seriously).

We have two ideas that are inherently at odds with each other. That the speaker gets to choose the pronouns that are appropriate and that the listener gets to choose the pronouns that are appropriate.

words have meaning. she and they mean different things, and using she when they is more appropriate is problematic for all the reasons that have been implied here. Do boys not exist as students? trans students aren't a thing?

The pronouns they and them are literally meant to be gender-neutral, they are the appropriate pronoun to use in this article.

Stop trying to defend the incorrect usage of the English language, because when you do so you find yourself feigning ignorance to try and gaslight people.

There was at one time a movement against using he as a gender-neutral pronoun. Great. Stop using she as well.

If they/them is acceptable for trans people, it's acceptable for authors.

If shareholders were criminally (or financially) liable for harm, the thing that would 'show those polluters' would be the way a market panic dumped their stock long before a spill occurred.

No one would want much XOM stock in their pension portfolio because they take big risks, shipping and piping toxic substances in ways that frequently cause major disasters. Their business wouldn't be completely destroyed, but they'd have an incentive to take fewer risks - They finally phased out single-hull tankers in US waters 25 years after the Valdez, if this proposed liability was present 1989 they might not have chartered that ship for fear of a shareholder exodus.
Yep. They've obviously had much longer than needed to simply report the values via paper and telephone calls, so the only reason you don't know those numbers now is that the party possesses them and is declining to release them.

I believe it's perfectly legitimate to speculate about why the party might be declining to release them and to make adverse inferences. The time delay granted by claiming "technical problems" has been exceeded.

In the UK the mother is required to take minimum 2 weeks off work (4 weeks for factory workers) and employers commit a criminal offence if they 'allow' the mother to work during this period (ie it's stricter than simply banning employers from asking).

Cerner does pretty much the same thing. They are trying to approach the hospital market pretty broadly. Much of the software is pretty rigid and if you sign up for them, you are customizing their software and meeting in the middle by reorganizing your business.

I think it's worth pointing out that in the midst of this brave new world - where every woman is supposedly a kick-ass world-beating entrepreneur if only the damned patriarchy would get off her back - there are plenty of women that have zero interest in having a career, and see the point of their existence as being to have children and be a mother to them; and the erosion of wages as a consequence of womens' entry into the workplace has actually taken away the choice of being a full-time mum for many, by forcing them to work.

Depending on the specific shot, you can borrow data from frames before/after the current frame rather than just flat out recreating from nothing. For instance, a shot where the camera pans left to right you can borrow frames from later in the shot to fill in the content on the right half of the image. Or a shot that zooms in/out will have actual footage from the scene that can be used as well. This kind of technique is used frequently for other things as well like when removing objects from a scene or even fixing/restoring film with scratches, holes, dust, etc.
"What will happen to the web when uBlock Origin becomes prevelent enough?"

We already know the answer to this because we saw it in the days of the early web: advertisements on web pages will be pictures and/or text served from the exact same FQDN as the website itself.

The problem has never been how to serve ads - it's trivially easy to insert an <img src> and perhaps size it randomly, etc. Or you can just put in a text block.

The hard part is the ad networks and the user tracking and the analytics. These are the parts that are difficult to self-host or self-provide. Their absence will cause ads to be relatively less valuable and less user-hostile.

Global vs. Locally Adjusted Remote Work Salaries
EDIT as you can see, I'm concerned about the client experience for multiple return. Perhaps it's not so bad:

1. when assigning to a variable, type inference is easy, because can't subclass records, so can omit type ceremony. So, although nominal, client can treat as structural.

2. with standard IDE completion/lookup, user need't know or enter the exact accessor names. So, the assigned variable acts like a namespace.

This mightn't be perfect, because appropriate names for the client's usage can differ from what is appropriate from the api's perspectice. (with tuples, user can name to suit their purpose).

Tracking the currently open application software side is perfectly within scope for a drawing tablet - they often have buttons that can be bound to keyboard shortcuts, etc. It makes sense that it should know when you're focused on Photoshop vs Google Chrome.

But why are they sending this data to a server? My best guess is that this helps them focus on what software people are using. This allows them access to the popularity of graphic applications. They get to see what percentage of users use say Photoshop vs [Other program here] - so they know where to prioritize integrations and testing.

But I'm not sure how much "integrations" or work with third parties Wacom does - the drawing tablets are following an api standard after all. But maybe wacom does work directly with application devs, I don't really know.

I doubt they're doing this to try to track individual users - even if there are ways to do it. That said I really wish they approached this with a more friendly "Would you like to enable some basic Telemetry to improve Wacom products - Yes, No" instead of a very unfriendly user agreement where they try to force it.

Hoisting old designs is unnecessary when you have x86 processors like Intel Atom, which are exactly that, and all the versions of ARM Cortex-R3 and R0.

The problem is not the processor, it's the lack of MMU and/or special DMA or interrupt engines and special GPIO. No kernel is potentially ported to such custom infrastructure, and if you have a very tiny flash, few of the ones which could will fit. (Say, target L4, porting Fiasco or OKL4.)

Part of the reason is that the framers of the US constitution hated parties, and seemed to take a "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" approach. With no backbone of written law to fall back on, US political parties only rely on their own rules as an organization of people. All the problems you described do affect them, and they used to be even more exclusive and opaque. The candidacies of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are fruits of the opening up of parties, effectively allowing takeovers by determined blocks of people.

Does this tracking data really need to be transmitted outside of the local environment, though? The driver simply needs to download a list of the available application profiles and compare it to the process list locally. Then, if a specific profile is available, it can request it and Wacom doesn't learn about the other processes running on the system.
