The sentiment that blacks are equal was rare once too.

I find your understanding of this rather contrived given that your constitution has nothing to do with me.

Your ip laws on the other hand, well, they stretch far and wide around countries that would rather have nothing to do with you.

I would prefer, if youre going to refute my claims, you at least acknowledge them.

Like, the fact ip law had a net benefit to society when they were conceived. But have since been twisted and applied dishonestly.

Can anyone tell me what the real damage would be if we limited copyright terms to one year? And what would be the real benefit to society at large to freely access information?
While I don't disagree with your analysis of the situation, it's worth noting that China has been hiding its pollution levels for a very long time.

I read a few years ago that the locals in Beijing use the pollution numbers posted on the American embassy's web site (recorded on the embassy grounds) because they can count on the Chinese government's numbers being false.

>Objective beauty is measurable. There's for example a definable, codifiable way of determining what we consider to be a beautiful face (it's about symmetry and averages).

>Nature is objectively beautiful. Symmetry. Harmony, for example in matching colours or colours offsetting each other in specific ways (such as complementary colours).

These are opinions. I can find things that are symmetrical that are not beautiful. I can find things from nature that are definitely not beautiful.

Many times it's the exceptions to things that are beautiful - the out of place line in something that's otherwise symmetrical. But there are very few things in life that I think people will universally say is beautiful. There are always exceptions, people who do not like this thing or that.

You really seem to be suffering from an inability to differentiate opinion from fact.
A few years ago, I managed to build XRDP with RemoteFX enabled. This was the smoothest remote desktop I have ever experienced.

I couldn't replicate it a while later after an OS upgrade and I have since given up on it. Does anybody else have experience with this? Should I give it another try?

I think you hit the nail here. Racism is broad term, and there is the direct individual Lovecraft style racism, and there is the other which is not as overt but has merit. An example is that idea that black is often time given connotations of brutish, evil, selfish, ...

While white is described as representing "morality, order, community, civilization, ..."

Are they the same, of course not, but we also can't say it has no significance either, as it does to always have those associations.
A fair question. I think it comes from the fact that:

> If just me as a user of the platform have been feeling increasingly squeezed by AMP, more and more aggressive ads, poorer search results. Large scale data collection, the deeply troubling stance on privacy and anonymity, shouldn't there be a more collective way to say enough?

So, we're focusing as a user here. Switching to uBlock Origin Chromium + DDG + Amp bypass extension:

* Squeezed by Amp -> Solved

* More and more aggressive ads -> No ads, solved

* Large scale data collection -> Blocked, solved

* Troubling stance on privacy and anonymity -> No data access to your data, solved

> And to just head this off: "Just switch platforms bro, there are tons of other options out there, haven't you heard of DDG?" this isn't a valid response and instinctively I know you know it to, that's why there is talk of anti-trust.

Everything is dodgeable as a user. Therefore it _is_ a valid response and I do not instinctively know it's not right.

There are good arguments, to be clear. If most people are on Gmail and they won't access mail. If Maps data can get Calendar/Mail data for free but no one else can, then that's anti-competitive. If Google uses Chrome to recommend some random tool that's bundling.

But not the thing the OP said. I don't think he's right there.
When someone really has personal reasons, they usually "take a sabbatical" or are "off on sick leave".

For this kind of person, Intel gains a lot simply having his name associated with the company, so would have no qualms giving him years to travel the world on a yacht if he wanted to.

I think it really means "Intel didn't fire me, but I don't want to say any more".
Generalizing your point, introducing or expanding on any feature or functionality always implies proportional degradation of some other feature via new failure modes. (“Security feature” being a special case.)

First, does that always hold true?

Second—if we pretend it’s an axiom—careful and competent approach may allow to shift such degradation to aspects orthogonal to usability (instead of being perceivable by end user, failure modes could cause overhead, say, to maintenance or engineering teams).
> does it matter? If the word "art" has indeed lost all meaning, does that change the way we interact with the world, or communicate with each other?

It does for me. If "art" and "everything" become synonyms, I feel I've lost a valuable concept, and one I definitely use frequently.

Your anecdote about the "don't hack this" label is indeed clever and funny, and it's making a statement I can relate to. It's like hacking the event, in a way.

I don't see that anyone so far has argued that only a poem, a sculpture or a painting can be art. I'm surprised so many people in this conversation have made a logical connection between "I don't like snobbery like the Fountain/I don't think it's art" and "art must be pretty and only poetry/painting/music are acceptable". Why do people assume it's binary instead of a continuum between art and not-art?
Yeah, I once tried to tell my browser to send... I forget; either no UA, or a blank UA string, or nonsense or just "Firefox" or something. I figured, "hey, some sites might break, but it can't be that important!" It broke everything. IIRC, the breaking point was that my own server refused to talk to me. Now, I still think this is insane, but apparently this really is how it is right now.

That is only the intro paragraph. Author proceeds to formulate a legitimate question "How can anyone make any important decision in a company that large?" and then summarizes a possible answer from a book (High Output Management, by Andy Grove [first published 1989]).
I like the idea. I do a lot of FPGA work and have often thought the same thing. The link is very interesting. I think part of the challenge would be how do you get the foundry capacity to actually produce it. And how to pay for that, who will buy it etc. etc. Those questions are beyond me, but I do think that if it were to get momentum there could be a lot of interest.

First, that is for Conveying Modified Source Versions. See the definition of conveying:

> To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.

Generally the common position here is to use the AGPL if you want to cover regular network access. Probably all a bit murky because the GPL does not really fit well to things like this. But mostly it does not apply here, pretty specifically by definition.

Maybe you'd have a point regardless if the source was directly the HTML and CSS. And it seems like I was wrong with the modification notice (but I wasn't thinking about modifications in particular). But it's not HTML and CSS directly. Having looked at the source in question now the transmitted HTML and CSS is evidently not the source code, as both is produced by template files.

The biggest change for me was adopting clean code practices.

What it meant in practice is writing functions as a collection of calls to other smaller functions. Each function does only one thing. I spend most time on naming objects, functions, and variables. It is hard in the beginning to not use non-descriptive names, but then you have to re-read that code and mentally rename it each time in your head while struggling to understand what it does.

Writing test code to validate shorter functions becomes fluid. When you can easily understand your code and can depend on it not breaking, you will find it’s easier to add features and expand existing features.

You will find many good talks on YouTube, but they really summarize what they wrote in books.

One good exercise is to reimplement built-in language algorithms like sorting and string manipulation from scratch.
> An example, however of the kind of filtering I was referring to, and why I still think it would be non trivial to do, even in something like ASP.NET, is the following: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/graphql-reference/#filter. This of course isn't something you get out the box in GraphQL either, but the structure of the system made this (relatively) easy to do.

Ah, then I misunderstood; I was thinking along the lines of dotnet's authorisation filters.

Filtering might require some reflection, expressions or funcs, which aren't necessarily "everyday" things for some devs, but they shouldn't pose any real trouble for seasoned dotnet devs. If you really want a standard that works OOTB for Entity Framework (and I assume EF Core), you have the option of OData too.

Yeah but you don't own information about your face, even though you own your face. Most people agree information is free for the taking by any observers (unless you are a strong supporter of illegal numbers and such).

Say we invent technology that allows you to dump memories from your brain to png images or mp4.

Now say I look at you and later dump my memory of your face to a png and upload it to my own personal image analysis pipeline. Have I violated your privacy? What if I share it with others? Am I not allowed to share my own memories?
This is not at all how things are.

1. Experts did not capitulate on shutdowns. And protesting can't exactly be banned if that's what you mean. Really though it were the current president's supporters that so badly wanted essential haircuts from the outset, once even storming a state capitol with guns. White guys though, so didn't get hit even with rubber bullets there!

2. The killing of this one black man was just the straw that broke the camel's back – many, many black people had to die before him without justice for people to come out like this.

3. He got a funeral because he became a symbol of this historic series of events, not just because.

From an individual stock's financial performance perspective, sure.

That was my conclusion a couple of years ago. A truck driver legally has a lot of enforced breaks. There are a max hours they can drive in a day. And a max number of hours per sprint.

Which with electronic log books it's hard to cheat on that. And I'm dubious that truck drivers would mind a slightly slower pace as long as it's uniformly enforced. And revamping truck stops to charge trucks seems like something where all the needed technology already exists.
TLDR: PAUSE instruction pauses longer.

Not sure what advice to give, because I'm in a rather similar situation. Haven't had a true vacation in years, and it's harder and harder to keep on developing.

Try to have realistic deadlines, save as much money as you can, watch how-to-think-business (advice from Mark Cuban and so on) on your spare time.

Placing pixel centers at 0.5, 0.5 is only the obvious choice if you think pixels are little squares rather than point samples. Pixels-as-squares makes intuitive sense to people, especially those raised on pixel art, but it's just one possible choice you can make for your reconstruction function. It's not even a particularly good choice. It doesn't model real sensors or real displays, and it doesn't have particularly nice theoretical properties. The only thing going for it is that it's cheaper to compute some things.
Source is ME. Gnome came a year or more after GTK+ did. The whole reason I got interested in Gnome was because it used GTK which I was doing some small pet projects in at the time.

But also, it's not too hard to find outside sources. I don't think it's ever been called the Gnome ToolKit by any official source Gnome/ GTK organization.

Maybe part of the problem is the author is engaging with people on Twitter. Twitter appears to me, an outsider, as a messy hateful place where people throw one-liners of hate at each for reasons that are very difficult for outsiders to understand.

Somewhat unrelated, but last night I was trying to make sense of the trans-activist hatred towards J. K. Rowling and I could not understand what was going on. Like, it wasn't that I couldn't understand the argument that was generating such strong emotions, it is that I couldn't even find the argument in the first place. There was just a heap of hatred and anger being spewed across twitter and I had no idea who they were really angry at and what their argument was. Frankly, I think we would all be better off if Twitter didn't exist. It seems to be a very stupid place.

> I understand the technical issues with DRM which can have a poor UX sometimes, but for the most part it's only a problem if you didn't actually pay for the content.

Actually, most of the UX problems only show up if you did pay. The people who download the content for free get the better product: an unrestricted file that they can use pretty much anywhere. Subscribers taking the legal route are stuck dealing with a bunch of different services, each with its own special blend of UX issues on top of the poor UX from the fragmentation itself.

> Your arguments seem to be based on the assumption that content should be free.

Not content should be free per se but rather content should be freely redistributed. Many people producing new content will still want to be paid for their work, and that's fine. They just need to ensure that they get paid before the content is out in public where anyone can copy it, since they will no longer have a legal monopoly on distribution after that point.

Patreon, Kickstarter, and others offer one model for funding the production of creative works for public distribution. Others would include sponsorship and donations. Open source development is another option which can be applied to more than just software—just look at the various Blender open movie projects[1], all of which are distributed to the public for free and were funded with a combination of donations, sponsorship, and volunteer contributions.

There's no problem with viewing an image as a wave, however if you do so you also need to accept that it contains frequency components well beyond the Nyquist frequency so the sampling theorem will be of no help in reconstructing the image.

Still lots of operations on image can be stated in terms of convolution (or a regularized inverse of it) so it's not like Fourier analysis is entirely useless.
Why is .NET using spinlocks in user space, anyway? That's usually a kernel technique, where you can't yield to another thread.
(I'm a Googler, opinions are my own. I also have zero desire to directly comment on the original article).

My understanding from the original antitrust case against Microsoft is that it DRASTICALLY impacted the internal culture at Microsoft. While the EU got their browser choice option in Windows, the indirect consequences were much further reaching. Based on comments I've read from former MS people, every decision after the antitrust case happened were looked through in a different light. "Will this bring on more scrutiny?".

So I'm guessing there were many unseen decisions that came out of the case. I'd imagine how hard certain products were bundled changed. How they were marketed. Even what features were implemented changed.

Even Google has some scarring due to the Oracle Java lawsuit. These big cases and rulings have fairly wide reaching impact within a company.
This seems to be similar to GitHub adding automated code analysis and screening as well as detecting flaws in what would become the built artifacts like external APIs. In a sense they are delivering static analysis which used to cost a lot of money, time and dedicated manpower (i.e. HP Fortify).

It makes sense for those companies to expand beyond what they already have. Starting with version control systems, going on to Wikis, static websites, actions/automation, CI, artifact hosting. It will eventually contain the entire lifecycle it seems.
uBlock Origin has this built in. Click uBO icon in toolbar, and use either the element zapper (once) or element picker (adds to personal blocklist).

I disagree. Would you say a specific address in an array has edges? No, because it's an address, a fixed point. Even if that array accidentally described a square, the individual array addresses would have nothing to do with that.

It's not a question of the representation, it's a question of quanta. Pixels are data, the little squares are the artifacts your LCD eventually produces with the help of that data.
> you're getting pretty much to the limit of what a trucker is legally allowed to drive in the United States each day

That's why there are multiple drivers.

My brother-in-law is a truck driver. Every day, he drives his semi from Portland, OR to Seattle, WA and back. Once he gets back, another driver gets in and does a route.

A single driver may have a limit, but the truck itself doesn't.

If I don't win 40 million, I'll still have a warm apartment, a well paid job, a car, electronic toys, and a vague plan of a leisure trip to Iceland after this whole pandemic blows over. Once in a while I'll say "Fuck, at one point I thought I was a multi-millionaire, but it was a mistake!", and I'd be able to distract myself by, I don't know, playing Xbox or going out drinking overpriced cocktails with friends.
