How can you form adequate opinions if you know only one part of the truth? The part you know can be easily manipulated so that your opinion corresponds to the wishes of the government in control.

This is why journalism is mainly about publishing information. The part where the writer gives their opinion is actually optional.

Also, this is why good news organizations (Reuters, etc) are doing investigations (this is investigative journalism). They do not just publish already available data, they go seeking the truth where it is.

Btw, the sheer existence of investigative journalism is also what makes difficult to believe all the conspiracy theories. If something fishy that huge was going on, there is an overwhelming likelihood that some news organization (also, some whistle-blower) would have revealed it. (that shows also the importance of the existence of whistle-blowers)
Here is another:

> Americans in the bottom 90 percent of the income distribution would be making an extra $12,000 per year, on average.

This is misleading. $12k sounds like a lot compared to someone making the poverty line, but it's as much compared to a household at the 90-percentile income (~$200k), and high percentile incomes dominate that average because incomes in the bottom 90% are also rather unequally distributed too.

The point that additional wealth has consolidated at the top due to wage stagnation is a fine point to make, but they way they chose to represent it exaggerates the point.
It seems like they provide the most bang for the buck.
So much of this resonates with me, and I quit for a lot of the same reasons. My immigration experience was a bit easier as an American immigrant in Canada, but for example, "universal" healthcare is a myth. You can't get public insurance in your first 6 months. You get travel insurance, except when you visit your home country "because it's presumed that your home country will cover your health needs." Guffaw.
But it's an apples-to-oranges comparison, between functions that skip whitespace, validate the input, and report error conditions, and a function that assumes that it has exactly N digits and does not need to check. Code that doesn't have to solve the most expensive part of the real problem can run much faster.

It would have been more interesting to try to optimize something closer to the problem the library routines are solving: skip leading whitespace, error if the first character isn't a digit, accumulate digits until a non-digit is reached. Can the article writer beat the standard functions? By how much?
More likely it will get annonomised and feed into since ML. But it would be super illegal to do what you're describing and with as many employees as Google has someone would notice and leak that.

Good for OP - I hope more people will do that. There used to be a saying on the Internet, "Don't feed the trolls", but FB is breathing life into the very worst edges of the human experience imaginable. I hope that enough people leave the service that this activity will end (or at least diminish). I tried to delete FB a while ago. However, I still need an account for professional reasons, so had to open a new one. This time, I blocked all requests from people to avoid the negativity in my stream. Instead it's only groups and page traffic that I need to see and that's worked out pretty well.
I saw this too. This is one of the most nonsensical statements I've ever heard. I don't even know where to begin with this one.

I have to admit I'm even further from understanding your position now: companies should have the right to enforce absolute conformity on their employees and fire them for whatever arbitrary reason they want to, but consumers absolutely shouldn't have the right to boycott in the event they find extremely objectionable?
Hi all, Perry here, from the Software Engineering team at Inductive Automation.

We were actually talking about posting a Show HN about this (and still may, since a proper introduction would probably help first-timers gain some context about why we're excited about this).

The Industrial/Operational space is generally not something I see mainstream consumer/enterprise developers talking or thinking much about. If there are general questions about the industry, the software, or this new release/announcement, ask away.
The new Metro extension out of DC to Dulles airport is literally crumbling... concrete is failing, the maintenance yard is sinking into the ground, plus it's over-budget and over-time.

Yeah, ARM is coming and docker will move to support it. We already have this: https://docs.docker.com/buildx/working-with-buildx/

Things like the pinebook pro (and hopefully more linux ARM devices) will keep pushing this further.
Basecamp is a very popular product, and they make a lot of money on it. I am not sure what the particular issue is. What point are you attempting to make?

Also, having worked with a lot of startups, they are living the actual dream. They have a product that makes them lots of money. They get to explore business areas and avenues what interest them. What exactly would be the point of IPOing? Have you ever IPOed a company? Do you realize why companies IPO? Or are you just spreading hatred towards startups that don't take capital investments and just make tons of cash?
No they didn’t. They made a huge mistake: not forcing their own AppStore globally.

The way to get app was by content aggregators and premium sms sites. Developers were lucky if they got 10% of the purchase price.

So please people, stop complaining about 30% for discovery, security checks, big number of payment methods, tax-consolidation, and global availability.
From using my app on iOS 14 it appears the way it works is based on you accessing the photos library. So it goes like this:

Initial launch - user chooses a few photos.
User switches apps, and returns - the same photos are selected.
User force quits app (or doesn't use app for a few days and it gets killed off)
User opens app, and is then prompted whether they want to "Keep Current Selection" or "Select More Photos" the first time the app accesses the photo library in some way (I think this is based on when you do a photo permissions check, but not positive.)

#3 has existed since the iPhone added apps - UIImagePickerViewController - if you use it, you don't need photo permissions and you only get access to the photo the user selected. Most social media apps probably just skip using this because they want photos permission everywhere to do things like "post latest photo" or to show their own photo picker UI.
>I wouldn't think that "Real journalists" would selectively choose what to report based on who their friends are.

Then who is a "real" journalist anymore these days?
That's is exactly why so many people are abandoning mainstream media (CNN, Foxnews, NBC, BBC, Guardian, Al Jazeera), because those established entities time and time again choose to selectively report on events when it fit their political bias and omit when it isn't possible to put a spin on the story.
>The researchers acknowledged in the study that the results might reflect differences in how people sing, and not in how people perceive pitch. But they argued that the totality of collected data, including some more direct measures of octave perception, put the weight of evidence on the side of a perceptual explanation. [..]
Moreover, if the Tsimané’s performance in the tests has more to do with singing ability than their perceptual experience, then it would mean that all people have absolute pitch

Since I only have access to the abstract: How did they argue this in detail? Because that is something that immediately sprung at me. In the process of learning to sing, reproduction of relative intervals is far easier (and much earlier) learned than correct absolute positioning °) which actually takes some effort to train.

And the reasoning in the second paragraph eludes me completely. If I haven't completely misunderstood something, this has nothing to do with absolute pitch, and everything with tonal memory, which - again - won't work if it isn't trained:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonal_memory

°) EDIT: Apology, the choice of words is actually incorrect. It's still relative, but with reference to the notes heard before, in contrast to the reproduction of intervals where you have your own previous sung note as (control) reference. Simply put: it's much harder to learn to hit the first note (and thus the general pitch) of the sequence correctly than the intervals in the sequence.
If you stay back on x86 virtualization will be slow, but if you jump to ARM this is great!

> However, this would take months

(infomercial arms)

I'm sure it won't make sense for everyone, but I'm just as sure it will make sense for many.
It will be extremely interesting to see what the dev's say with the test boxes. Curious if there's any magical fixes like switching over to ARM Linux, since the software of an image would likely be compiled for x86 I really doubt it...

Perhaps this will spur some people over to running ARM servers in the cloud...
Only for sites with dedicated IPs. If they're hosted on some sort of cloud service then the ISP has to sniff the SNI data. And with ESNI coming to encrypt it that hole will be plugged soon.
> Why can't you update the Docker image to also support ARM? You theoretically could switch your backend to run ARM Linux. However, this would take months - renting out ARM instances, re-building all repositories, and a tense switch over.

I don't see why this would be so hard. If anything, I expect to see a massive upswing in things like AWS Graviton2 uptake, and a lot of common Docker images being built with ARM versions out of the box. It might be about a year or so, but eventually we'll be able to just go ARM-native the whole way.

What Apple needs to do is make a first-class, WSL-tier implementation of Docker for Mac for ARM.

Do we know that Boot Camp isn’t supported by Big Sur? Or is it just that one can’t run an x86 OS on an ARM architecture? In other words - will I still be able to dual-boot into something like ARM-flavored Linux?
> Filters are functions

As I explained before: no they are not.

They have some similarities, but they also have the important differences I outlined above.

The single type is also a restriction relative to the functional model, and crucial to (syntactic) composability.

> If unix included types like arrays or ints in stdout ...

But it doesn't...

> you would have the same typing problems as you have with functions.

...so you don't.

> Both f' and f are equivalent in theory.

But they are not actually equal (never mind the same), at least not in typed FP, and most FP is typed.

> it's just hidden from you

Exactly. It is hidden in Unix and not in FP. That's a difference.

> You could achieve the same thing if you used functions that returned strings

Two points:

(1) you write that you "could" achieve the same thing. Meaning that, once again, they actually are not the same. Otherwise the "could" wouldn't make sense (and it does).

(2) returning strings would not be the same at all, because filters do not "return" their results. They return status codes. The result is not returned, it is passed directly to the next filter, continuously.

So: it is good to recognize that 'X is similar to Y', but that doesn't imply that 'X is just Y'.

I've always thought Krita is a painting app. My image editing needs are pretty modest developer tasks: cropping, scaling, exports to different formats, occasional curve edits on photos. So no painting, just editing mostly designs, sometimes photos.

I've really been pretty happy with Gimp. Would Krita also cover these tasks?

* Seller B creates Listing W with Sku U (counterfeit)

* Amazon organizes stock by Sku

* Ordering from Listing Q or W will pay to the appropriate Seller A or B, but get a random product with Sku U
this is comparing MAX() of one statistic to MEAN() of all of the others. Very misleading.

I have some friends in the employ of the federal government, who was raised Catholic. One time we were having a conversation that started about the Catholic church. He said is that some of the decisions of the Catholics are odd and slow because they are making decisions on the scale of a hundred years. They intend to be around by then.

The USA Feds seem to be on a similar plan, but it's more like a 10 year lag, and it finally seems to them like this HTTPS thing isn't just a fad.

I assume you think it's wrong. Can you explain why immortality would be good for society?

Most of the transhumanists I've met don't bother justifying this belief beyond the selfish "I don't want to die." Personally I think it would lead to the ossification of culture and an astronomically enormous class divide (particularly between those who can afford immortality and those who cannot.) I'm not eager to live in a society where the ultra-billionaires like Steve Jobs can buy their way out of death, which thus-far, has been the great equalizer that even the most wealthy cannot bribe forever.

And absolutely nothing will change. In fact the volume of counterfeit goods, fake reviews and scams on Amazon and other marketplaces will only increase. Its honestly not even really Amazon's problem at this point, its more that there is an entire Chinese industry devoted to counterfeiting and scamming, with literally hundreds of thousands of intelligent, capable people spending their lives looking for ways to make a dishonest buck. Amazon is essentially putting a band-aid on a leaking damn at this point. Until China actually puts strong IP protections in place (They never will) there's really not much western companies can do about it beyond paying lip service to a problem they know they can't actually solve.

My 2017 Macbook pro still has quite a lot of life in it, but it seems unlikely I will replace it with another Mac in a few years. Before the Mac I had a Lenovo X1 Carbon running Linux and it was great; and even then was a better development environment in some ways (docker has better filesystem performance, pacman is much better than homebrew). I do use some audio processing applications and my kids play a few games that do not run at all on Linux. I may try WSL again instead of going straight back to Linux, but its hard to imagine Mac will be the best OS for me.
But linux can be run on arm natively. Moreover, most packages are also compiled for arm. So apt-get install will work just the same. I'm sure they will be able to target Apple's specific arm chips when they come out.

Internal politics. Symbian faction was too strong and Maemo was (rightly) seen as something that would cannibalize it if successful.

Meego being a full rewrite and repackage (qt/rpm whereas maemo was gtk/deb), although it had merits, means development needed to restart from scratch.

Nokia also totally mismanaged dev relations. First it built up dev excitement for Maemo, then announced it was going to be abandoned (for Meego) a few months later.

Meego was a combination of Intel's Moblin (purchased from OpenedHand, a big Linux shop back in the day) and Nokia's Maemo.

Shortly after Intel abandoned the project in favor of Tizen, leaving Nokia holding the bag. Nokia went through the motions until the infamous burning platform memo, driving the last nail.

In some ways, N900/N9 is a parallel with Amiga. Great machine, tremendous excitement by a (small) loyal userbase, mismanaged by development, and now a subject of nostalgia and failed attempts to resurrect the dream.
Hardly. You’re investing a great deal of effort in building a parallel set of images that probably will never see production.

The one use case when this might be viable is targeting AWS Graviton2. Does anybody know if you can run an emulated Graviton2 on ARM Mac?
I believe they are referring to the safety net provided by relative white wealth. Median net worth for white families in America is 10x that of black families.

Which means they are much more likely to be able to get support from home or even a home to move back to if things get tough.

It's a lot easier to take the economic risk of a post-grad or post-doc program when you know there is a family with means to fall back on.

“Bathroom selfies” is just a tongue-in-cheek way to refer to frequent photo takers. If you’re somehow offended, I apologize, what the hell.

I don’t need to remember my hotel room number or parking garage zone or bus stop every day. Even when I do I don’t need a photo, sorry, got a pretty good memory, and a digital notebook too. Under-utilize, sure, whatever, it’s my fucking phone and I didn’t ask you to judge. The fact is me and a whole host of people I know who don’t snap photos frequently enough (yeah, been talking to quite some friends about how we’ve basically been spending a fair bit of money on cameras that we don’t use very much) won’t get “the same functionality” as you were claiming, so I hope you’re not on a design panel for something like this where people who don’t conform to your expected usage pattern just get a FU.
