Eons ago when Google started aggregating news they greatly damaged the news industry. This is because you could start seeing the bigger story and the bias in the individual reporting. This was damaging to Fox News obviously.

It got worse unfortunately, the journalists were caught faking scenes. https://money.cnn.com/2016/11/04/media/abc-news-stage-live-s...

Then the fake news was discovered: https://i.imgur.com/plF3WDu.jpg

Same newspaper, same story, contradictory reporting. Obviously this was done for different places.

People started discovering that news is heavily fake. Why buy something when they are outright lying to you? This is the reason the news industry is dying.

> used less resources and actually had more features

I remember the time when there was a native client for Skype on Linux. It probably used less resources, yes, but it was horribly lacking in features compared to Windows or MacOS native clients. Now that everything is javascript, Skype on Linux works great, apart from being a godawful resource hog. I found it really pleasant to use over the last several years. Video calls work great, screen sharing works great, even conference calls work, which they never before did on Linux. Couldn't be happier with the changes.
I think that currently there are some games in Apple Arcade that works on macOS, iOS and Apple TV; that said we’re not talking about the usual AAA games of course.

This was unexpected (never would occur to me he is a controversial media-person, even though I don't agree with most of what he writes myself), and a pity, since I still have a bunch on his blogposts on my to-read list, that now appear to be gone, but what I actually don't understand is why journalists still have so much freedom to harass people. I'm pretty sure these pesky parasites are responsible for more total length of nerves burnt, than all robbers combined. Is there really no legal action that an ordinary, not massively rich person could realistically take against NYT in such cases?

Thanks for this, I hadn't seen the news that he had been moved out of solitary confinement. I'm happy to be wrong, that's good news. I'll edit the parent comment.

> Jailed WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is no longer being kept in solitary confinement and his health is improving, his spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson told reporters on Tuesday.

useCallback memoizes (caches) the function definition. Its main use is to simplify refreshes — since the function isn't redefined every time, components that depend on it such as the <button> can be re-rendered less often.

const handleClick = useCallback(() => {
const modifier = counterType === "Increment" ? 1 : -1
setCounter(counter + modifier)
onClick()
}, [onClick, counter, counterType, modifier])

The array at the end is the list of "dependencies" — whenever one of them changes, the function is re-cached. Compiler checks can catch missing dependencies. You might think, "But that function will be redefined pretty much every time," and in this case that's true, and memoization may not help much. But in bigger trees of components, most redraws will be unrelated to any given element, so those dependencies will rarely change.

useCallback() (and its twin useMemo(), for non-functional values) gets more useful in deeper component trees, where values may be passed down several levels.
Read the single article on his blog, he is not anywhere near fully nuclear. He's just playing a fair game with them, helping NYT "be more considerate". What would they get from this real name policy anyway?

Secondly, the content is not gone, just hidden (and probably reachable elsewhere).

I wonder how many companies in the world are basially built on warm words without any real value behind. I made the experience that a lot of people don't really care if a company has positive revenue streams anymore, they don't even know what a balance sheet is. They simply invest because other people do. And those other people invested because people before them did. This new style "invest billions now in a lossy start up and hope for a positive cashflow in a few years" is absolutely insane, it transformed the economy into a pure gambling hall.

What makes it even worse, in case of wirecard, their auditor EY had audited and certified wirecard's balance sheet for years with no objection. They were satisfied with a clumsy fake audit certificate for 2 billion euros in a Philippine account! For how many companies EY did the same? How superficially do they check their customers?

Krita is an excellent piece of software.

A year ago I transitioned from the Adobe suite to FOSS. To replace Illustrator, Inkscape was perfect, but it took a while before I found a good Photoshop replacement. Tried GIMP, Paint.NET and Seashore. All of them had issues either with stability, feature set or UX.

When I finally tried Krita, my search was over. Even if it is clearly aimed at digital painting (which I don't do a lot) it is great for general bitmap tasks. And incredibly stable. It just feels like premium software.

On some level it is subjective of course, but I think everyone should give it a try.

Thanks Krita!

Using that plus following the SOLID principle is my way to reuse code. And it is as if I would build with LEGO bricks.

I tell you even a secret. Every piece of software has all the code you need to work with it already - just copy/paste stuff. You only need to know where it is. Every piece of software is it's own tutorial how to make that particular piece of software.

I've done this for years. I call my method of working copy/paste method.

Don't think so. Ads should be a good dollar per thousand views. Maybe 3 dollar for videos. Well known newspaper may be able to get more given their reputation and how many ads they plaster per page.

I think it's the economy of scale that's difficult to achieve. An employee has to bring in thousands of dollar just to pay for own salary, that's millions of views per month. The costs and revenues don't add up to sustain a large company and it has to spam (low quality) content to survive.
On the surface, it doesn’t sound like a big difference. In reality, I find using the native /call command in slack a game changer. It opens up a call immediately, no links, copy/pasting, changing applications etc. It just feels right.

Very similar story here; I barely write any Perl nowadays but am still very fond of it.

I especially like the sigils - they serve in a way as a primitive type system and actually convey useful information when reading code. I suspect people who complain about them are the same who dislike strong typing.

Interestingly, like you, nowadays I am very fond of Scala.
I worked in the mobile phone industry 00s. Besides terrible Series 60 UI, Symbian also had non-POSIX (micro?) kernel. For example, file system was a service and handles like a log file handle were not transferable across threads. It made porting apps a pain. Developer tools existed, but were shit and usual failure mode was app crashing without a reason.

Symbian had shitty developer experience because internally they did not have a "Dev experience and third party app development" stakeholder. They had kernel, seats for various hardware vendors, mobile and wifi standards, but not for third party devs. Nokia itself was blind for its mistakes as in-house they could get whatever source code or access they wanted.

Note that there were non-Symbian mobile phones as well e.g. Ericsson. So Symbian was kind of Android, but no default UI and closed source.
It is amazing how acidic this topic is.

You can't document Assange's drifting from seemingly neutral leader of a leak network staffed by individuals across the world to a lone operator of a clearly biased outfit, without people throwing their accounts into the fire. Making personal attacks like a fella just did here minutes ago.

I didn't think so many people would be saying "Russia anything is lies!" so vehemently given the activist/journalist/governmental sources documenting Kremlin's role in fostering relations with Wikileaks while spinning up their own personas like Guccifer 2.0 to act as fronts for the distribution of hacked data to Assange.

The compiler knows how it's aligning variables, It's a pure performance issue: location of things in memory affects alignment to caching unit boundaries (accessing one more cache line for the same data) and cache pressure (data ends up cached in the same location as something else, causing unnecessary evictions while other cache locations remains underused)

I have no basis for this theory, but I have a hunch that Bill Gates named it “GW-BASIC” after the initials of Greg Whitten, not to give Greg credit, but as a form of disclaimer. Remember, the Basic interpreter was Gates’ own baby (it was Micro-Soft’s original product, written by Gates personally), and Gates may have planned to make a, in his mind, real version of Microsoft Basic later. Therefore, Gates might not have wanted this new Basic, which he might have viewed as an interim version, to be the definitive branded version.

Of course, this is all speculation.

There is a Linux-first clone of Paint.net called Pinta[1], but development stalled a few years ago[2] and the lead developer was asking for contributions to the codebase as of six months ago[3]. It has since been pulled from several distros' repositories, though it can of course still be built from source. It was a fantastic alternative to Paint.net when it was in development, but the last official release was quite buggy. Thankfully, work has resumed on it[4] and hopefully it will have another stable release soon.

On the other side, I can say that Krita has definitely improved over the years; it's stable enough now for me to use at work as a Photoshop alternative on Windows (though I still do most light editing in Paint.net).

Nothing like that. Also no functions or blocks. Brackets worked different than listed in the documentation sometimes. Lots of whitespace and escaping issues. Unhelpful error messages.

Any proof that WikiLeaks actually had the emails about that particular Russian bank transfer?

The theory you're promoting is that Assange leaked a huge trove of emails on Syria, a Russian ally, including large numbers of emails detailing Syria's relationship to Russia. But then, because Assange is secretly a Russian agent, he removed one particular set of emails.

The obvious question is: why did he publish the emails in the first place?
