Aw, it does not work well on mobile phones, because the dialogues are cropped and unscrollable. I am going to keep an eye on it though, some apps like sketchbook are somewhat working but they are limited. Having krita equivalent for the phone would be awesome.

Point taken. To clarify, it wasn't always 6 days a week, that was an over-exaggeration by me. An average was maybe ~4.5 days a week, and some days were much lighter than others. I was maybe trying to communicate that I've invested in this kind of regime, and it's derailed the conversation away from the point I was trying to make.
no, I just do that with words like cRaZy, ZoMbIe, iNsAne, oHIo for fun when messaging with friends.

Hi shoo, thanks for your feedback. At this point in time this is only a proposal. A proposal which needs to be challenged. So thanks again for your useful feedback.

Indeed the goal is to limit the size of JWT tokens. I can't tell you if it really improves the performances for now. I already started a spreadsheet to compare the bitmap scope list against the space-separated list. Although I need some real examples and metrics to do a relevant analysis of the impact.

One of the questions you raised is about the scopes commonly used. Should we defined a shared dictionary/registry ? Maybe. I would propose to open an issue on Github to discuss about that. Here it is: https://github.com/rmedaer/rmedaer.github.io/issues/2

If there is more interest in this proposal, I would propose to create a dedicated repository where ~~I~~ we could discuss, compare and challenge it.

Kind regards,
After my kid was banned on Fortnite, I filed a bunch of paypal chargebacks on Epic Games for all the packs and extensions we bought, going back like 8 months. Got all of them back.

Not to say that Paypal won't screw you over, just that it doesn't do so all the time.
And yesterday you said tomorrow. Just do it.
I fail to follow, care to explain more please ?
Your post is the first comment I read in this thread that not only refers to the gender of the author but also tried to portray it as a central point and also, for some reason, try to pull the victim card by claiming it is the only possible and conceivable reason why this sort of rant is not unanimously and enthusiastically supported.
One way to consider this is to put yourself in the mind of a product manager with kids and a mortgage. If you declare the product is "done", the company no longer needs you to improve it. That means trying to find a new role in the company at best and getting laid off at worst.

The same goes for UI designers who keep reinventing the wheel in different ways or devs who keep refactoring the same functionality from monoliths to microservices and back.

In an ideal world, the company owners (those who would financially benefit from reducing ongoing development costs) would be up to date enough to realize the product is "done", but in all but the smallest companies there are too many layers between them and the products for them to make this assessment accurately.

The download size does make it hard to use for a "public" site, like a webshop. But it is a different story for an application, like an intranet solution or app like Figma. A first time download of a few MB's is not a problem, as you regularly use it. Like a desktop application.

It is the first time you can develop a full stack application (client and backend) in one language in one debugging session. For C# that was possible with Silverlight.

Small companies (like mine) that deliver applications and have full stack engineers can have some amazing productivity!

So for my needs I'm really excited with something like Blazor, and this was only the first release.
There is no evidence that Benjamin Franklin ever said that. Please do not perpetuate spurious quotations.
People really should give Krita a go if they want escape the Adobe bubble. I was really impressed with it for drawing over GIMP.

Android app needs your help
Good day,
I have been working on a project the past few months, and recently released my new Android app to help people live closer to their interests. It's called Live Closer - Cut the Commute.

This will help reduce traffic, saving people time and in the end lowering our carbon footprint to save the environment.

Please check it out and let me know what you think? I am looking to build my user base.

Please find the links to website and Google play below.

Thanks.

> They want you to name a dog, just go ahead and name an effing dog! How hard is that?

The way I read it, HR gave a "test" where you're supposed to find employees (and their dogs) in some internal company directory, with a time limit. And stated that the "results" from this test would be shared with the participants' respective managers.

Silly games at work can be OK at times, but what is the point of this, really? I don't think it's "lame" to "complain" about; venting is good, and IMO calling out some of the bullshit with your name attached to it is gutsy, not "lame".
Ask HN: How do you manage personal data backups?
The disk on my computer suddenly failed this morning - my strategy has basically been to manually backup my data to an external drive. It's works I suppose - until I delay backing data up a few months. My last backup was in January.

What do you all do to backup all your data? Any recommendations for a better solution?
As the sibling comment mentioned, it's a very slow network and known Tor entry nodes are blocked in certain countries. The network could become faster if more people around the world ran relays, but it's becoming more difficult to even run a simple bridge due to hostile ISP and website activity.
I just installed barrier server on my raspberry pi and set up hotkeys to switch between 3 machines to send the input to, there is also an option to have the mouse continue out of the screen into the next screen monitor on a different computer which could be clever if using multiple monitors.

> Also I don't expect Sony to be making any money off the hardware at those prices, so I agree that they're unlikely to sell them to anyone who won't buy games for them.

I think console hardware cost is generally budgeted at a slight loss (or close to break-even) at the beginning of a console generation, and then drops over the ~7 year lifespan.

"This demo looks like it's replicated the core mechanics of pac-man with worse graphics, 3-4 orders of magnitude higher resource consumption, and undoubtably many odd bugs hidden away from the pretty demo. It even needed the game to exist in the first place!"

True, though my first thought was that this would be interesting from a reverse engineering point of view. Then again Pacman is pretty simple concept. Something worth reverse engineering is probably a lot more complex.
Krita uses Windows and Steam store for additional funding. It's freely available from website.
Assuming vanila Firefox is not good enought (it certainly is for my 64 years old tech-clueless mother), you can try epiphany. It's barebone.
In some sense I agree with you, but on the other hand I do feel like these are implied caveats. It's perhaps unwise to look too far into an onboarding process as a serious mark against a company. Even companies that invest a lot in this will mess it up. I think it's implied that she didn't do this, simply by consequence of her pushing forward anyway, and her also qualifying it at the end with "red or pink flag".

My sense is that this was something that subsequently stuck out to her, and maybe became a more significant pattern throughout her year at the company. It's what's not said that sort of brings a bit more significance to these particular things, because why else would these things stick out upon reflection?

I've had worse onboarding experiences, that upon getting fired, I looked back on and thought "Wow, maybe next time I'm handed a HP laptop and told that Macs are only for designers, I'll just walk out", because they were significant of events that would later cause me undue turmoil and stress that affected my performance.
In which case, it sounds like at the moment they carry out a "data processing operation" to make your data public, you would have standing to make a formal complaint to your local data protection authority.

Article 18 restriction of processing can apply here. Art. 25 "Data protection by design and by default" would seem to be relevant as well. The section I alluded to above is the latter half of 25(2), saying "In particular, such measures shall ensure that by default personal data are not made accessible without the individual’s intervention to an indefinite number of natural persons."

There's also the question of whether their consent or other grounds of processing suffice, which likely wouldn't for making anything public, but Article 25 makes it clear enough anyway this is illegal.
I’ve had a good number block me from using them, typically in industries where fraud and chargebacks run rampant. I.e. gaming services.
The GDPR also applies to non-EU companies in non-EU countries targeting EU nationals, although it can not be directly enforced (yet).
I think you might mean the GDPR interpretation about signing up online meaning you should be able to access, modify, remove online etc.
The leading brand is quite expensive (at least here in Germany), especially when it comes to reasonable sizes (A4/letter). I've been putting this off for years.

Finally - a few months ago - I aquired something remarkable cheaper, a chinese Gaomon M106K. It turned out, it is not cheap at all in the other sense of the word. Good quality and support at least for my use case (a bit different, handwritten formulas and sometimes some sketched diagrams). But my youngest kids use it for painting with Krita too.
> Terrible performance. One of my engineers recently thought that 150ms was terrific for a HTTP request. Break out of the container and it was <10ms. YMMV.

It's not that bad for everyone.

For example on my Windows dev box, I have HTTP endpoints in volume mounted Flask and Phoenix applications that respond in microsends (ie. less than 1 millisecond). This is on 6 year old hardware and the source code isn't even mounted from an SSD (although Docker Desktop is installed on an SSD).

On Linux, I have not noticed any runtime differences in speed, except that starting a container with Docker takes quite a bit longer than starting the same process without Docker. Apparently there's a regression: https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/38077
You are thinking of iOS. On Android using a different store or sideload is easy.
This is why Netflix is a honest company.
1. Reasonable prices for subscription (when you watch).
2. Does not "charge/steal" from customers.

I'm sorry, I don't know the movie, my comment wasn't on its story.

The "has family" checkbox isn't so much a sexist thing, I believe. A woman with children is also much less likely to just pack her bag and move to India on her search for enlightenment, she has more things tying her down, making her more predictable. If you want a long term employee, you'll pick a woman with children over a single man without children, all other things being equal.

Remote working might have an impact there. But if you believe that there are hidden biases holding some people back, they won't just go away, and remote working isn't going to change that, unless you completely anonymize any communication between the employees and the company. Would be a fun experiment, but I don't know how practical it is.
I made a similar setup with Home Assistant running on a low power Raspberry Pi 3A+ connected to a Xiaomi Mijia Bluetooth Low Energy temperature and humidity sensor (model code LYWSDCGQ). It takes a single AAA battery and it's lasted almost a year on one.

There's a ready-made Home Assistant component but I wrote up a guide on how to read the data from a Linux terminal on your laptop: https://unop.uk/xiaomi-mijia-bluetooth-temperature-and-humid...

I also have Volatile Organic Compounds / equivalent carbon dioxide (Sensirion SGP30) and Particulate Matter (Plantower PMS5003) sensors soldered up to a Raspberry Pi Zero W over I2C/UART for logging. It lasts quite a while on a USB battery so you can take it out and about. An ESP8266/ESP8285 would last longer but it's easy to log with a python script and the SD card gives you loads of storage.
I haven't written this up yet but will if anyone is interested?
Or anything about PTO.
I will repeat from another point of view: when you were 10 we had enough workload for 15 but we didn't get the extra 5 until we got to the "need 20" (or whatever number). So you have always been overworked and overworking your staff and you preferred that they all work on 120-140% instead of 80-90% that would give space for better quality. I get it that numbers are ruthless, but workload, quality, documentation (not speaking only about onboarding documentation) etc. also got "numbers" on them if one cares to measure. It is only the £€¥$ numbers matter.
Show HN: Dstask, a Git-powered single EXE taskwarrior alternative
After having productively used taskwarrior for about 6 months in late 2018, I decided to write an alternative due to a few fundamental things that I did not like about taskwarrior:

* syncing requires hosting a taskwarrior server

* the task table rendering was (and still is) broken[1]

* I wanted full markdown notes for each task

I wrote dstask[2] in go. I've been using it dozens (hundreds?) of times a day for a year and a half now, maintaining and adding important features as I went. After having used it for such a long time I now feel it's ready to feature on HN!

I've tried my best to make the documentation as useful and possible -- see the readme file for the install guide, tips and screenshots.

It's stable for day-to-day use and has 90% of the features I need. A notable exception is recurring tasks -- coming soon.

For more background on why I wrote it, see: https://callanbryant.co.uk/blog/dstask-a-taskwarrior-alterna...

Thanks for reading and I'd really appreciate feedback.

Hertz: Car rental firm files for US bankruptcy protection
It seems slightly unclear, but generally a lot of interpretations seem to be focusing on the location of the person. An American buying something in a European airport is protected by GDPR during their fleeting pass-through of the "GDPR zone".

https://www.hipaajournal.com/does-gdpr-apply-to-eu-citizens-... seems to suggest it is based on location. There would seem to be standing for anyone based in Europe that made an account when considering a move to the US, or who is based in Europe next Friday when the "data processing operation" occurs. That seems like it would give them standing, even if they weren't protected while overseas, as this is a new data processing operation.
Sure, but why does the default share menu shuffle everything every time I open it?
Dude, just make it opt-in. It's that simple.
Were those B2B SaaS? Subscriptions are a huge controlling challenge for businesses with more than a few employees. If they are easily available people will think that it's fine to keep them running, I they have to jump through hoops to get them they will try to avoid repeating the process.
Why would they regret being bailed out? In these circumstances, society requires safety valves where we can freeze financial activity to address more pressing concerns. Such mechanisms need improvements. But the crisis do highlight practices of ie. stock buybacks where short-term thinking is encouraged and even rewarded. These are just prelude to the next financial meltdown, unless mitigated beforehand.
Absolutely. Article 25(2) is written for this specific situation, and expressly prohibits opt-out situations where personal data might be made publicly accessible:

"In particular, such measures shall ensure that by default personal data are not made accessible without the individual’s intervention to an indefinite number of natural persons."
Politics is so highly partisan that stupidity sticks around, because changing it would look bad. It's kind of ironic.
Reading this thread with interest (even though it is off-topic).

I'm also a Christian. What convinced me (among other things) is historical and scientific accuracy.

As said, there is enough prove for the historical existence of persons like Jesus and David.

And many biblical events and dates can be confirmed through archaeology.

As to scientific claims, a good collection of articles would be:

Oh, if it's a funding related thing, then that's fine. The paragraph makes it sound like they can't put Krita up on those stores without requiring a fee.
You could be right.

My alternative possible timeline interpretation is that two forces collide and make self-driving inevitable.

The first force is the insurance industry. It's really hard to argue that humans are more fallible than even today's self-driving setups, and at some point the underwriters will take note and start premium-blasting human drivers into the history books.

The second force is the power of numbers; as more and more self-driving cars come online, it becomes more and more practical to connect them together into a giant mesh network that can cooperate to share the roads and alert each other to dangers. Today's self-driving cars are cowboy loners that don't play well with others. This will evolve, especially with the 5G rollout.
I think that’s Dan Langille, the organisor of pgcon.
Just reiterating the same point - Krita plus a drawing tablet is a perfect combination for kids. It handles both drawing and animating really well.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they just outsourced the app development to the lowest bidder.
There have been studies which suggest that phishing your own staff has significant negative effects. I have trouble finding the study names but the NSCS website has a good article about it: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/blog-post/trouble-phishing
I am constantly amazed at what they are able to do with it. I was just a minute ago explaining to my younger daughter the concept of layers and the first thing she did with it was to separate an object to which she wanted to apply a special filter. Without even thinking about it.
It's not that strange. In a talk at last year's CCC someone explained that it's a good learning experience when you educate the people, that clicked on phishing, right in/after the phishing process.
He also found that the learning effect only applies to the method the people failed in - so learning from phishing doesnt teach anything about passwords.

While sad, I think it's important to acknowledge and don't be do harsh to people who fail in the first attempt...
... also because my biggest learnings also came from really embarrassing moments or failure too..
I assume that a housefly does have a basic form of consciousness. It's not going to write Shakespeare but it probably wants to mate. (I know people who's life goals don't appear to extend much further).
It's really easy to get any content on the internet but really hard to verify if they are plagiarized. Basically anyone can place some ads on their websites, but if the site posts nothing but copied content, I doubt if it will last.
i remember in 2004 or so when an agency i worked for had a wikipedia clone running with adsense and tons of SEO which made 20k per month and basically kept the company afloat. I was a young junior dev and while i was impressed by it, it never felt right to me (which it obviously wasn't in many ways). As far as i remember this only worked for about a year at best until Google penalised those sites more and more.

I'm not a contributor to Godot, but my understanding is that Godot 3.x projects will be mostly compatible with Godot 4.0, and where conversion is needed they will provide tools.

Therefore, I assume that the fundamentals of Godot will stay the same and you should be fine diving in with 3.0 already :-)
>On Android using a different store or sideload is easy.

Asking users to use developer mode is not easy, and a huge barrier to entry that most would just not bother and download something else from the Play Store instead.
In my (admittedly somewhat limited) experience, these don't come up that frequently. except number 5; I've had several times where I've had to be aware of where references are coming from.

I would say give Rust a go anyway. Worst case is you end up not getting along with it, best case is you now have a new tool to reach for.
I got lucky years ago running into sales for a bluetooth version of the Wacom tablet (540WL) and the wireless option does somehow "sets you free" while drawing... But they are expensive, yes.
I don’t understand how working from home is relevant to this?

Do people working in offices have IT staff come by to update their laptops? Would people in an office not open this email if they’d do so at home?

When I worked in an office nobody touched my laptop but me.
There is a similar sounding provision in GDPR, which requires that it is as straightforward to withdraw consent as it is to grant it (i.e. it must be possible through the same procedure, so preventing postal letters being sent to a dedicated address). Not sure if there's a similar provision for cancelling paid services, but potentially if the service relies on consent for data processing, you could use GDPR grounds to force a cancellation through the same means you signed up.
We had one earlier this year about staff raises
Wouldn't a better model be to not charge the user for that month if they haven't watched anything? So you would only pay for months where you actually watched things on Netflix, and you wouldn't find that your account was suddenly deleted.

Also, maybe the title should be "Netflix will delete the accounts of customers who never watch", because that describes what Netflix will be doing more accurately.
I would assume this would illegal in EU due to GDPR. The idea that one should perform an action in order to avoid it appears insane.
