Povilas from linked article here. The design of how libinput handles gestures is exactly like you describe - the application will get a Start event when a gesture is identified, an Update event when finger position change and an End event when the gesture completes. This will allow to implement the macOS gestures in the end. There are more complex details of course, but the basic point stands.
Like any other nation, the United States is in a competition for top talent. People who have other viable choices -- who are in many cases also those who stand a high chance to create a ton of value in the US -- will now put the US lower down in the priority list.

As Victor Hwang put it [1]:

"While other countries fight a global war for top talent, America just packs up the tent.

Facts:
- Immigrants start new businesses at twice the rate of native-born Americans.
- Immigrants founded 44 of the 100 largest companies in America."

I agree the terms are not good, but isn’t it 60 days?

I don't have the feeling that I have to give something in return. It's a voluntary donation, people can donate, or not. They can cancel at any time. I don't feel any pressure to 'deliver' anything. They're paying because they want to reward the value I have provided, and likely will continue to provide. If I stop providing it, I assume people will slowly cancel their donations, which is how things should work.

If anything the fun-level has gone way up because a community has formed around one of my projects, which has been great.
In Go's case, it means that GC pauses are shorter because it uses a concurrent mark and sweep algorithm.
I wasn't specifically thinking about Apple, but a game I play. When I dug up the history on Reddit, it was a single troll commenting on every dev diary post.

All my life I've been searching for this thing. I thought my only choice was either to include the schema in the message (JSON, CBOR, MessagePack) or use bloated code-generation tools made by Google people who don't care about simplicity and ease-of-use (Protobuf).

Apparently I was wrong and finally someone invented the Holy Grail of structured data encoding.
Well, yes. Isn't it great to know that if you happen to create a repo with 4k stars it is possible to get something out of it besides random people hate?
Why don't Red Hat et al use the LTS kernels?

I don't want America to be a global superpower. Too expensive. I'd rather be a quiet, happy country that just takes care of its own and chillaxes.

Best of luck my friend!
But it needs to more than make it. It needs to increase revenue to spend more on correctly policing and supporting its extension store...
It's fascinating to watch the crowd that crows so heavily about "government tyranny" and the second amendment stay strangely quiet about police (and by extension, The State) abuse of power.
What you're saying is certainly true, which is why people who already have a visa were exempted from the order. (Some may choose to leave because of the uncertainty, of course, but that would be true for any immigration reform.)
Great in some ways and terribly in other ways.

I started off by discovering that social obligations were a huge stressor for me: I often wanted to do things by myself, but I nearly always felt guilty about it, dwelling on all the friendships I wasn't investing in, imagining myself becoming isolated and truly alone. Now I can schedule a couple of FaceTime calls a week, text a couple other people occasionally, and have my social obligations met. And I'm fortunate to live with my partner so we can give each other a baseline level of human contact. This has freed me to really dive in and embrace a couple of hobbies I had been robbing myself of.

On the other hand: I'm incredibly stressed about the state of the world and the future of our society. I feel powerless, I feel cognitive dissonance about how wrong so many things seem, I feel like things are falling apart around me. These feelings are probably exaggerated by generalized anxiety and secondary information sources, but it's hard to shake them off without being able to go out into the world and see some degree of normalcy- that some things, at least where I live, are a semblance of okay. It also wouldn't hurt to have the option of distracting myself with a movie, or some tacos and a margarita, every once in a while.

And then there's all the little stressors: sanitizing grocery deliveries one item at a time every week, not being able to properly go to the doctor for non-emergencies without risking exposure to a deadly disease. Even taking walks is a bit stressful, having to constantly navigate around other walkers in our neighborhood to make sure we're all keeping our distance. These things were terrifying for the first couple weeks, then they became normal, and now they've become grating. Part of me definitely just feels tired.

Usually police in dictatorships, at least the more successful ones, tend to be much more professional, polite and non-brutal. Until they are very professional, very cruel and very brutal. The latter usually against very well defined groups, in very well defined ways.

Simple reason being, that random police violence just results, ultimately, in the kind of uproar and civil unrest the US experience now. Basically the last thing dictatorships want.
Anecdotally, it took ten minutes to unsusbscribe this morning (going through an online chat service rather than calling them), which is much longer than it should take, but worth it. It may be worse now due to this incident.
Has anyone compared Crystal and Rust on similar lines?
PNG is always a lossless format. You can only control the level of compression.

There are tools that let you re-encode a PNG after applying a lossy filter, but the PNG still encodes it losslessly.
If you're writing an Electron app, using WebP/WebM is a Free space optimization, especially in lossless mode for GIFs or sprite maps. You can also make really beautiful, 60FPS animations with WebM that are as easy to use as GIF
I am an H1B myself. Up-voted you because I appreciate the honesty.
That cross-hatching-in-the-walls thing is fairly distinct, and I saw it immediately on Dyson's blog but not on a quick survey of old Dragon/Dungeon maps. That said, Dyson is clearly going for that aesthetic mostly, so it could be convergent evolution, and I'm hardly up to date on current styles for maps in other places.
strongly disagree; it is mostly universally agreed that regulating crime via society means (i.e. lynch mobs) is bad; same applies to speech, I believe
Fortunately not the same devices. The ADS gives people the sensation their skin is burning. From wikipedia:

> The ADS works by firing a high-powered (100 kW output power) beam of 95 GHz waves at a target, which corresponds to a wavelength of 3.2 mm. The ADS millimeter wave energy works on a similar principle as a microwave oven, exciting the water and fat molecules in the skin, and instantly heating them via dielectric heating.

Yes, Digital Unix, OpenVMS, and Windows NT all ran. You could also run Linux and FreeBSD. I worked at a DEC shop for a while in the late 90's. Alphas were speed demons. This was right before Compaq bought DEC. After that, I think things started going down hill...
Destroying things that do not belong to you is not free speech.
This varies a lot from company to company, and even within companies.

Unless there's an effort that's made to ensure there's a more diverse representation, groups tend to hire people similar to themselves. Unchecked, that can lead to some teams all having the same national origin.
Then those countries will eventually get a higher cost of living, and live the good life. That's a good outcome as well.
can you have a proper multi-channel chitchat in zoom? I mean can you chitchat without interrupting the main speaker or others?
Or not bother memorizing a sequence of popes, which itself is just a bunch of names without the historical context.
I agree. Given this truth, complaining that people complain about your system of choice seems pretty silly
Public legal record shows that the police are there to protect society rather than any person. Their job is to maintain law and order sufficiently so that society doesn't collapse, people keep working, etc.

"the duty to provide public services is owed to the public at large, and, absent a special relationship between the police and an individual, no specific legal duty exists"

Yes, they can lie during an interrogation to make you confess. Not during a trial.
This was very sad to read...
This is a complex issue, and the only way to make it fair is no tie the immigration policy to a company but make it skill and points based as they have in Canada.
Companies have found loopholes if not wholesale abused the system.
The biggest offenders are the body shopping companies from India - Wipro, Infosys, TCS.
Most American companies in my opinion are fair and for all the talk about indentured labor, there are plenty of tech jobs for the skilled and you can leave at will, the transfer process is simple, although the last year the Trump administration has put hurdles.
I'm afraid most of them are. Would you care to give an example of one who is not? I'll happily look over a blog or video and give my opinion.
Personally I disagree and think the notion that we have to give a job locally first is an empty political promise.

Like honestly don’t see the point. Just give the smart person a job.
I don't remember where I read it or if it is even true but I just remind myself that people had to resort to eating bird shit during the black death.

It's mainly for fun and I want to keep it free, but of course I wouldn't mind if there was some money coming in to pay for the costs and motivate to work on it more. Currently I'm selling stickers and in the future I will implement some kind of paid accounts which will have some minor features that free accounts don't have – the dilemma is to keep it balanced so that free users don't feel second class.
Take a look at the Kodim 3 example image, either the '500px' version or the '1500px' (but not the '1500px' version).

Zoom in (400%) on the cap of the yellow hat. The lines of the cap are muddied under all lossy compressed formats, but surprisingly, plain old cjpeg does so less than the others.

Generally though I find the new formats look better than JPEG.
I think it's interesting in that it points out the range of faces that could have produced the pixelated version. You think it's Obama but on a certain objective metric it could just as easily have been anonymous guy.

It can be made easy: these are alternatives to use of a firearm. They should only be allowed where deadly force is legally justified, though policies could call for using them before firearms when possible, e.g. to incapacitate a person who is brandishing a weapon, but not actively hurting people with it.
I also don't get it why people insist on the same quality with lesser size. How about more quality and the same filesize?
Uh, names matter.
Damn. This is the first open source project I've ever sponsored and been really excited about sponsoring.

However, I've been using Ubuntu on Wayland for the past 2 years and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Frankly, I'm not willing to move back to X and it seems like a step backwards to me to invest any time, effort, or money in X at this point, so I'm going to discontinue my contribution.

I was hoping my monetary contribution would be a small ($25/Month) way to push Wayland forward, but the approach Bill and Povilas are taking is doing exactly the opposite by making it more comfortable for folks to stick with X. I understand there is disagreement and apprehension among the community with the slow move to Wayland, perhaps not at the same scale of systemd, but I firmly believe it's the best path forward and that X should be left behind.
Enhancing your photos through artificial intelligence
As a long-time Linux on desktop user and tweaker, an early adopter of libinput under X, and an early adopter of Wayland, a historied-user of MBPs with nice touchpads, and Chromebook Pixels with glass touchpads, I just don't get it. There's still very little concrete information here that gives points to any solid net improvement for anyone using a modern Linux desktop (aka Wayland+libinput, which already support all of the original goals of this project).

If you read the first two blog updates, they're straight out of FAANG PM-speak land. I can just hear the words echoing from a PM who vaguely understands an amalgamation of customer wants, without having any of the technical context of actual customer needs, architectural limitations, alternatives, etc.

And this is exemplified in the nearly useless survey data. It is so poorly sliced, and presented that it's hard to know what was learned. There's no axis for X/Wayland, which X input driver was used, what DEs were used, etc. All of these significantly matter in the day-to-day feel of the touchpad considering how libinput is configured.

Frankly, and this blog post more or less implies it, Wayland and libinput address nearly all of the original goals, and the ways in which they don't are either bugs in the drivers/libinput quirks that should be filled and fixed in libinput, or are simply the choices of GTK/Qt toolkits or DE designers and are part of a bigger design discussion that could help establish better defaults across toolkits+DEs.

I just don't see why people are putting their hopes or money on this project. I don't see current, useful-to-Wayland problems being identified or worked on.

Finally, a tip, for wayland + gestures, consider `gebaar-libinput`. And a solid net improvement to libinput (and up the stack) would be "stop scroll events". It's the only thing keeping the scrolling experience in Firefox+wayland+webrender from feeling just as good as Safari on a MBP.
Hopefully they're not wearing any metal earrings, piercings, etc that are exposed to the waves.
Building Invincible Companies with Alex Osterwalder
How to constantly reinvent your business with inspiration from the world’s best business models.

"Blacks view police as the biggest threat" seems to be perfectly in line with what Black people are and have been saying for decades if not centuries.

If only folks would listen to Black voices, they wouldn't be gumming up the conversation with irrelevance.

White on white crime is also much more prevalent than crime across racial boundaries. A priori you are much more likely to be a victim of crime by someone you know or in your immediate community. Because America is so segregated still, the conclusion follows pretty immediately.
That's fine. Then those countries do better, and the world becomes a better place.
Your last sentence is what you've got wrong. I've been down to the protests in pdx. The police escalate pointlessly every 15 min or so. Our chief resigned, which briefly led to the police backing off for a bit. What did these super dangerous protestors do? They tore down the stupid fence around the justice center that's been so obnoxious. But then after discussion decided that might seem too confrontational, so they re-assembled it. Well apparently that really pissed off the police, because shortly after the fence was restored they came charging out as a group firing rubber bullets indiscriminately.

The police's actions during this protest have nothing to do with public safety. It's entirely about them abusing their authority to try to silence and suppress legal protests attempting to hold them accountable.
Salesforce introduces several new developer tools including serverless functions
That's because no one outside of the Black community listens to Black voices about Black social issues unless (1) it's positive attention to a rich Black person blaming the the moral failings of Blacks for the problems of Black communities and absolving White and wealthy society, or (2) it's attention (usually, historically, negative, but there are moments when that flips on one issue or another) to Black people questioning a trusted (by Whites) social institution and it's contribution to Black social problems.

Everything else is beneath notice of the wider society. It's talked about, but no one outside of the community is listening. Which is fine, except when they base their response to the issues on which they do pay a little attention to assumption that what they aren't hearing on other issues is because it's not being talked about.
The flights per day/daily revisit rates are pre-Corona, yes?
If you did that you'd favour profitable industries (say computing) over areas with actual shortages (say Arabic translators in Detroit). You'd also make it impossible for areas with low cost of living (Detroit) to be allocated any H1B visa. It's one of those perennial proposals that always come up but are really poorly thought out when you look into it.
My Kid Could Do That
Ugh, the font itself seems okay I guess, but I don't understand why, in a font ostensibly designed for legibility, you would choose an open zero in lieu of a slashed or dotted zero.
You can't symlink into a byte range of a file. All of the system dylibs are stored in a single file.
I never said it was. I said it was a cost to protect free speech. Do you believe that Cotton, the Police, or the National guard will be able to stop only those looting without accidentally arresting, shooting or otherwise harassing anyone who is simply protesting?

Do you believe deployment of the national guard won't have a chilling effect on people protesting? If you want to protect the speech (or in this case assembly) of the many, you have to be willing to suffer the consequences of the few who will abuse that right.

Otherwise, implicitly, what you're saying is that (a relatively small amount of) property is more valuable than the right to protest an unjust government.
Marginally? The crime rates are half. And the police there are cheaper.

And I'm not arguing that there's perfection, so there's no reason to rebut that.

They are cheaper than American Police, twice as effective, and far more integrated.
Notice of Data Security Incident on Twitter Ads and Analytics Manager
We are writing to let you know of a data security incident that may have involved your personal information on ads.twitter.com and analytics.twitter.com.

We became aware of an issue that meant that prior to May 20, 2020, if you viewed your billing information on ads.twitter.com or analytics.twitter.com the billing information may have been stored in the browser’s cache. Examples of that information include email address, phone number, last four digits of your credit card number (not complete numbers, expiration dates or security codes), and billing address. If you used a shared computer, it is possible that if someone used the computer after you they could have seen the information stored in the browser's cache (most browsers generally store data in their cache by default for a short period of time like 30 days).

On May 20, 2020, we updated the instructions that Twitter sends to your browser’s cache to stop this from happening. While we have no evidence that your billing information was compromised, we want to make sure you’re aware of the issue and how to protect yourself going forward. If you currently use a shared computer to access your Twitter Ads or Analytics billing information, we recommend clearing the browser cache when you log out.

We’re very sorry this happened. We recognize and appreciate the trust you place in us, and are committed to earning that trust every day. If you have additional questions, you can write to our Office of Data Protection here.
The Mysterious Deaths of 6 Historical Figures
You brought up the fact that the H-1B is a nonimmigrant visa when I mentioned that it was how many skilled immigrants entered the country (while waiting to become eligible for a green card). If you were not trying to contradict me, then you were raising an entirely irrelevant point and not contributing to the conversation.
Yes, in fact it does. You appear to be talking about something else than the post I responded to, which calls for the elimination of all guns.
I don't really understand this trend. They're not the only firm I'm aware of that's invented their own font and/or standardized on some obscure one.

I'm sure there's an already popular font that has these attributes.
Wouldn't that be kind of like saying that I'm a real estate baron instead of a Software Developer, because I own a house that is worth many years of my salary as a software developer combined?

I haven't looked at the NYT balance sheets at all recently, so it's possible that I'm off the mark here, but a one time sale of a headquarters does not make them a real-estate company in my mind. To do that, you would need to demonstrate to me that they are regularly engaging in the transaction of property and buildings, instead of a one time sale.
