>Now, people watching the screencasts will naturally encounter these “private” screencasts and if they like the free ones, they will sponsor me (at $14/mo.) to get access.

Why are we calling this 'sponsoring'? It just factually is selling a product to people for a specific amount. Sponsoring/donating is more like people giving money for something that would otherwise be free. Otherwise Microsoft could also require a 500 usd 'sponsorship or donation' for a Surface Go. And requiring it monthly is just plain subscription service payment.
They are! They’re exploring and being curious. This is one of the most important things to encourage. I’m so thankful my parents let me disassemble the VCR, computers, other people’s computers, etc. I did end up learning a lot and the curiosity has served me well.

Povilas from the linked article here.

Having support in X (even if only in proposal stage) will allow much easier work in the toolkit and application layers. X and Wayland cover essentially al Linux users, so we will not need to estimate how many users will benefit from implementing gesture support in toolkit X or application Y. It will make convincing project maintainers easier.

This is really important, because maintainers of open source projects don't usually care about suggested features if they're not interested in them themselves. A new feature means additional work to them - discussing the design, reviewing PRs and handling of eventual bugs. Often the person who implements a feature disappears after the PR is merged. This makes the maintainers to view all feature proposals with a grain of salt. We need to have a convincing story of how majority end users would benefit in order to make the contributions easier.

Technical skill is not enough when contributing in open source. Politics are often as important.

I imagine some are going to be displeased by the layout changes but I'm not convinced it's less accessible. I found it to be easier to navigate than the old layout.

You say less accessibility, but is there any actual evidence behind this or is this your opinion? The argument you are making seems entirely based upon your opinion.
Yes. That’s a feature, not a bug. 10m people in a city should get 10x the say than 1m people in the surrounding rural land. Why would you ever want it to be different other than trying to skew elections towards giving rural residents disproportionate amounts of voting power?
from the article:

Interviews with large numbers of highly resilient individuals — those who have experienced a great deal of adversity and have come through it successfully — show they share the following characteristics.

-They have a positive, realistic outlook. They don’t dwell on negative information and instead look for opportunities in bleak situations, striving to find the positive within the negative.

-They have a moral compass. Highly resilient people have a solid sense of what they consider right and wrong, and it tends to guide their decisions.

-They have a belief in something greater than themselves. This is often found through religious or spiritual practices. The community support that comes from being part of a religion also enhances resilience.

-They are altruistic; they have a concern for others and a degree of selflessness. They are often dedicated to causes they find meaningful and that give them a sense of purpose.

-They accept what they cannot change and focus energy on what they can change. Dr. Southwick says resilient people reappraise a difficult situation and look for meaningful opportunities within it.

-They have a mission, a meaning, a purpose. Feeling committed to a meaningful mission in life gives them courage and strength.

-They have a social support system, and they support others. “Very few resilient people,” said Dr. Southwick, “go it alone.”
Sounds like the latter. They "found" it and requested a CVE, but it was already fixed -- they just hadn't merged that change because they didn't notice it was security-related.
Bringing the military in on stopping it is crossing the Rubicon. In as literal a sense as you can get without living in Italy. Regardless of feelings on the current situation, the idea of getting the military involved should be extremely unsettling to anyone living in a democracy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossing_the_Rubicon

For a more contemporary quote from battlestar galactica:

Adama: There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.
I share this sentiment and have also withdrawn my contribution. I remember reading X is in maintenance mode, and putting countless of hours into a plug-in for it because of some people’s refusal to switch to Wayland just seems futile and a waste of effort me, especially since, as they have mentioned, there already is a ‘happy path’. With the next LTS release of Ubuntu, both Fedora and Ubuntu will be Wayland by default. That’s what, something like 80% of all desktop distros in use?

In the end it is not my money so I cannot decide, but IMO they should focus on bringing Qt and WxWidgets up to snuff with GTK gesture support. That means that as long as people are on Wayland, gestures will work ‘everywhere’.
As I said earlier, I'm not inclined to participate in the refutation of BS, which is what you are trolling out.

This is a once-a-century pandemic of a virus that is not at all the influenza or any other common virus. If left to itself it would kill, most likely, millions in the US alone. That's not millions who were going to die anyway, it is millions of avoidable deaths with 10's of millions of years of life extinguished.

The sociopathic narcissism of individuals who feel like that's fine as long as they personally don't feel at risk, which this exchange typifies, is deplorable.
I'm sorry, I don't wanna complain. Neither me nor any of my loved ones have been made sick by the virus. Very few have lost their jobs, and I and they live in a country where the social safety net is strong. I shouldn't complain.

But since you asked. I'm not holding up. I was already pretty deep in a semi-regular depression valley, triggered by some bad decisions regarding relocation and leaving a line of work. In hindsight, I was stupid. Then covid took away the little social life I had in my new location. And made the future so damn uncertain. And showed me how brittle everything is, how even if you do everything just right, it can all come crumbling down at any time. I'm not even doing anything right. I've managed to build up a good skillset and a good degree and an OK CV, but only through sheer luck. I now have none of the drive that made me able to obtain those things. Nothing pushes me anymore. If I could get back on track, this whole covid and the crumbling of liberal democracy situation has shown that it can still all come crashing down at any point.

What's the point. If I could barely "make it" when I was younger, had a fire lit in me, a large social circle, etc., how am I going to have a chance when I get older every day, there's barely an ember in my soul, my poor decisions have physically distanced me from my close friends (and hell, we all know those things disintegrate with age anyway, it was all existing on loaned time, making younger and younger friends to compensate). I'm so close to giving up. Don't take it the wrong way. Life isn't pain yet, so I'll go on slogging, but I'm close to stopping struggling and just let it slide into a gray monotony. The longing for a fire and a desire is so painful that it's better to just forget about it. To just go with safe. Lock it down. Time to grow up, I guess. In my mid-30s. I don't like this, one bit. I really don't fit in in society. Which would be charming if I were a risk-taking adventurer who "lived life to its fullest". But no, I'm deeply risk-averse at heart. Luck and great people put me into niches where I blossomed. It's all charming when you're in your mid 20s and you're "promising".

And yes, I am going to therapy. I'm learning a lot, but it's not "helping".

I'm so tired.

Thanks for listening.
Nice project! It's only very old awks that don't support functions (like BSD awk does and nawk does on SunOS but /usr/bin/awk doesn't) and the GNU docs have an implementation of strtonum: https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Strtonum-...
Doesn't it?

You arbitrarily picked 16 possible photorealistic faces out of a total solution space of what? Millions?

Wouldn't the balance of probability be on someone in the general population of humans more closely resembling one of your 16 candidate images than any of your candidates resembling the Ground Truth image?

Doesn't the problem get both better and worse as you scale your N up from 16? That is, it would be better because one of your candidates is more likely to match the Ground Truth, but it would be worse because you've also widened your net for catching false positives?

> draw low salaries

The IRS has rules (typically unenforced) regarding this. You are supposed to draw a salary that matches your job in your local area. So if you are based in Tinyton, Flyover State, you could probably get away with paying yourself $30k/yr, but in NYC (where I'm based), my accountant told me $70/hr is basically as low as I can safely go. So I do $70/hr and then $14/hr in my retirement account.

The $70 turns into ~$78 after all the employer taxes add into it, and I take home only $52 after employee side of taxes are taken out of it.
This. Democratic party never intended to pass DACA. All the wanted was to create shock waves and funny how that turned out. If President Obama wanted to legislate DACA, he would've done in his first term. He made sure to to get elected twice and in last term, he chose to introduce DACA. It is clear form last election voting, that majority of America doesn't want DACA. Doesn't matter how much news outlets push for it. All democrats wanted was to polarize their base. They're no different from DJT.
Resisting arrest should not lead to death. There is no urgency to shoot someone who is drunk in the back as he is fleeing when you have his car in your possession.

Polices are using unnecessarily lethal force indiscriminately for offenses and in situations that don't require in the least. They have been getting positive reinforcement by being not prosecuted and being protected by their force and the system in general.

That sounds more like straight up working to me. This way he's building features he's interested in and allowing some people to get a sneak peek, if you will.

I'm not sure how sponsorware is the opposite to the spirit of open source but your proposal would essentially allow someone to buy out the product roadmap which seems worse.

Eh, I'm not totally convinced. The devil is in the details, and there have been many cases recently where clearly peaceful protesters were treated like rioters when it was convenient to some of Cotton's allies.
From "How & Why Government, Universities, & Industry Create Domestic Labor Shortages of Scientists & High-Tech Workers" by Eric Weinstein (2017) https://www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives/blog/how-why-gove...

> the real origins of the Immigration Act of 1990s and the H1-B visa classification [...] American industry and Big Science convinced official Washington to put in place a series of policies that had little to do with any demographic concerns. Their aims instead were to keep American scientific employers from having to pay the full US market price of high skilled labor. They hoped to keep the US research system staffed with employees classified as “trainees,” “students,” and “post-docs” for the benefit of employers. The result would be to render the US scientific workforce more docile and pliable to authority and senior researchers by attempting to ensure this labor market sector is always flooded largely by employer-friendly visa holders who lack full rights to respond to wage signals in the US labor market.

> The correlate of these objectives were shifts in orientation toward building bridges to Asia and especially China, so that senior scientists, technologists, and educators could capitalize on technological, employment, and business opportunities from Asian (and particularly Chinese) expansion. This, in turn, would give US scientific employers and researchers access to the products of Asian educational systems which stress drill, rote learning, obedience, and test driven competition while giving them relief from US models which comparatively stress greater creativity, questioning,independence, and irreverence for authority.

I see what you're saying now, I'd misread you.
This comment didn't make sense to me, it seems like this is like saying there are enough paintings or sculptures in the world for people to see whatever kind of art they want and have whatever emotional reactions they're going to get from the existing art.

This isn't like open source license proliferation or something, having more fonts is just more room for experimentation and creativity, more choice for designers, etc. you don't have to keep up with every single one, and it doesn't make things harder like eg. open source license proliferation where the more of them you have the more you need a lawyer to review every dependency.

But maybe I'm misunderstanding and there's some harm here?
> Only concern I have is the excessive blurring of low detail areas?

Couldn't the person who picks the compression ratio tell the encoder which part of the image is important? And even have it done automatically to some extent. If you are going to send a 5MB picture from a person at their birthday party, if feels worth it to spend a few more bits on that person than its surroundings.

Extrapolating to smartphone pictures where you generally select a focus area (and sometimes selectively blur the rest), they could use that information to keep more bits of information in this area.

A car crashed into my Sunnyvale, California home while it was being chased by the Police.

The Sunnyvale Police told me to stop taking pictures of the accident while I was standing on my own property. They refused to release the police report of the accident to me (I needed it for insurance claims) because they claimed I was "not a victim and had no right to see it." (The car ended up on my lawn, smashed into my house.)

The only official way to file a complaint against the Police force in Sunnyvale California is to fill out a form and the Police investigate it themselves. Anything else, you have to go to court. There's no independent overseer.

All police forces are rotten to the core, and will do anything and everything to protect themselves.

I think the last is actually about a prisoner and his interrogator / torturer.
The way I understand the social dynamics at play, it's classic longtermism vs shorttermism.

But first: many of these crowds the police are trying to control were not in need of being externally controlled. They might look scary if you're part of the establishment they're protesting against, but the vast majority of people are not out to cause harm -- it's the opposite.

Now, as you say, zero intervention does run a risk of injuries and property damage. What you left out is in the short term. Intervention might prevent that, but it will (as I understand it) greatly increase public sympathy for the protester's cause. In the long term, it runs a risk of causing even greater number of injuries and property damage.

So as Deming might have said, the US and its police force are a system that's already set up for injuries and property damage. You can't force your way out of that without causing more injuries and property damage. The course has been set, even if not all the events are played out yet.

The only thing that can be done is absorb the blow, listen to the people, and build something great out of the ashes to replace the old system.

But the system needs to be rebuilt. It cannot be tweaked into working. It cannot be fixed by force.
"Less Lethal" weapons are a cover by the police in their ability to escalate the use of force and when they do injure or maim they can say it was "unintended" and a random accident, thereby covered by immunity.
There's another option:

4) Translate x86 loads and stores to acquire load and release stores, to align with the x86 semantics. These already exist in the ARM ISA, so it's not much of a stretch at all.

This is the one I'm betting on.
It's more about generativity. I have the capability to make this thing better, and I see vendor-imposed problems all the time with the proprietary solutions. Put two and two together and there's really only one responsible choice.
As I stated originally, an example is that the repository languages are not visible unless I scroll past the bottom of the screen. They should be at the top center, where I can immediately understand a repository's languages. Now they are off center in an awkward place not initially on-screen.
Not exactly a "benchmark" but I think projects like ToDoMVC [1] - where the same functionality is implemented across different frameworks serves as an interesting and useful way to see the real differences.

This of course still misses how long it took to implement, how easily changes can be made, etc.

The old 0install “language replacement” shootout is definitely the one I remember best.

It’s really outdated now (and oddly enough not always for the better) but:

* it evaluated multiple dimensions / criteria

* the criteria were very explicitly about relevance to the tester

* but their testing was quite objective

* and it really was quite extensive

I've been involved with fake interviews. (Hence throwaway account.) The context where fake interviews are required is when your firm has hired someone who is on H1B visa but is seeking a green card. To support the green card application it is required to show that the position cannot be filled by an American who is similarly qualified and will accept a similar salary as the immigrant.

In my case the context was my firm had done a true search for filling the position, where the H1B holder was found as the best available applicant. But then we had to do another fake job search for that already-filled position for the purposes of getting our employee a green card.

The hallmarks of a fake job posting, from that experience: (1) there will be only basic advertising of the role, with a strict "no recruiters" rule (2) there will be only one round of phone interview, focusing on a checklist of specific knowledge and experience points and acceptable salary levels
It looks like this may have been self-regulation as the app store seems to have been coming under fire lately as being monopolistic. After seeing what happened with Android in the EU I would suspect that Apple wants to be much more cautious when they receive bad PR like they were receiving.
