1. On latest Windows version I am on now it works as the classic paint.
2. On classic paint you set colors > rectangle > select filling (w/ outline or w/o). On new paint is set colors > rectangle > fill > select filling > outline > select outline. So 1 or 3 more if you want to remove the outline.
But it caused a team of apparently quite talented people to 'drop everything' and scurry for an answer.

Of course this kind of this kind of thing is important to individual businesses and needs to be done, it's just a shame to see "The Best Minds of My Generation Are Thinking About How To Make People Click Ads"
> Rollbacks can create data loss. Also, rollbacks are not always a viable option.

I've delivered a number of products (in the early days of my career) to clients where data loss happened and while not fun, it also didn't significantly harm the product or piss off said client. I saw my responsibility primarily to do the best I could and clearly communicate potential risks to the client.

> I took the comment of "it's just a team of one" as a way of trying to justify not putting your engineering due diligence into delivering a product to the customer.

That I do agree with, but 'due diligence' is a very vague concept. I guess honest communication about the consequence of various choices is perhaps the core aspect?

And of course 'engineering due diligence', in my opinion, includes making choices that might lead to an inferior result from a 'purely' engineering perspective.

We don't even need to change the law. An even simpler fix is to simply veto the idiot who thought it was a good idea to mass issue those tickets without leniency. Personally I think this human factor already exists in our government. Police can give warnings even when they have you dead to rights. And they are subject to pressure both to write more tickets or to write fewer, depending on the climate.

However I'd say changing the law is the best option of them all. Restricting surveillance protects people out in suburbia from cops who are almost never there anyway, while poor schmucks downtown have to deal with the "broken window policies" getting tickets for a lot of nonsense.
Great, you can start by addressing the points raised in the previous comment. They did indeed include specific arguments with quotes from you.
Given a "Conformal Geometric Calculus" is not feasible due to the distance metric not being preserved, a "[Hyper-Plane] Geometric Calculus" should be; is this to be included a future version of this document, the book, or some other endeavor?
I will defend anyone who wants to speak and discuss things openly, but I will do so according to my principles, not theirs, and there is no hypocrisy in doing so. If you would defend a Christian's or Muslim's right to their beliefs without giving away all your possessions or travelling to Mecca then you are in the same boat. The values I would hold in a perfect world can be impediments in this one, especially when they are used to push orthogonal values.

More importantly though, I like Scott, but I think he is preposterously naive and friendly to a fault. And I think that has been weaponised against him countless times in the past, and is being weaponised against him now. And nothing makes me angrier than seeing friendly, charitable people being taken down by the vindictive and unscrupulous.
Thanks for the figures!

I can recommend PushPin on iOS for that, it's another ten bucks (once) but well worth it if you are constantly on iOS devices and need Pinboard.
That's because unit tests couple tightly to your code. If you're trying to couple something additional to your already tightly coupled code it's gonna be painful.

It's a really expensive way of discovering that you wrote shit code.
Without wanting to pass judgement I would expect that you are suffering from a narrow sample size.

I have had _very_ different experiences outside academia, depending on factors like the peers within the team, type of business, company size, city, culture/country, etc.

In all of these, I found places that were a lot worse and depressing and places a lot more interesting and motivating when comparing to academia. There literally is a whole world out there, perhaps you just haven't found the right place for you yet?
Any kind of district system will still result in a two-party system. You need to get rid of the district system. A district system only represents the majority opinion in each district, so a very large minority of Americans will effectively not be represented. It also pushes people to vote for the "lesser evil" instead of voting their conscience.

The US needs more than two parties.
“Work from anywhere” in fully distributed companies? e.g. Buffer,GitHub. How?
With a number of companies already working fully distributed, and a number of companies recently announcing that they are letting employees work remotely indefinitely, I have a question. Can employees really work from anywhere? Do they not need work visas or permission to work in the countries that they wish to be based? I’m not referring to freelancers, but people at places like Buffer and Github. I know that freelancers sometimes work (illegally) on tourist visas and do border runs. I’m assuming these fully distributed organizations would not allow/encourage this sort of practice, but curious to know.
I agree that monetary compensation is not the sole economic value. But still “how much you could be making that hour” is also irrelevant in most cases.

That’s the entire point.
Omega(n log n) is the fastest possible for a comparison sort, by a simple decision tree argument. This is true even for the average case.

> tools need to be engineered so those rioters can be differentiated from the lawful protesters and bring them to justice.

Tools need to be engineered to bring murderers, killers, rapists, and jackbooted jarheads to justice.

Murderers are being let free. Society should revolt at such injustice. I wish folks talked with such conviction about the folks raping, murdering, and killing with impunity. Beating protestors without care, etc. Instead they reserve "bring them to justice" for broken windows and stolen Nikes. What a country.
I think you're right on point.

At least with clothing, you're getting clothing out if it (though frankly I prefer the system of my high school which was to have a uniform; evens the playing field, particularly for me as a working class child at a grammar school in an upper class area).

My issue with Fornite is the speed and cost with which they produce this stuff. I see my nephews spending 10s of £s at a time every week or so.

I'm not sure how I'll deal with the peer pressure issue, my child is too young right now, but Fornite has a strong affinity to children, I'd argue it's mostly played by children and the culture is a real issue which they're doing nothing to resolve that I can see.
You have to choose a shape/subfigure CSS can render from the top toolbar. Then render that on the canvas with a standard drag. You can't freehand, obviously.

I was actually wondering how the tool would handle complexity as CSS has very little in the way of options. This is a neat way to do it.
Cigarette smuggling is a thing because regulated cigarettes are more expensive than unregulated cigarettes. Why would that be any different for other drugs?
Which feature's does Epic's client have that steam doesn't?

I wouldn't know because epic's client can't even run on Linux.
This makes me wonder. If Linux will become mainstream then won't it lose its charm? I'm using Linux because of the package management. If something replaces that with a closed "app store" it might attract proprietary companies and those companies will attract regular users then I may stop caring about Linux.

Yes, you are right. I apologize, I clearly went overboard.

I think it's just an over-generalization. Just because you worked for the Stasi automatically makes you a bad fit for a certain job. It really depends.
Go talk to penniless lottery winners who've burn through all of their money, discovered most of their friends were only in it for the money, and are just as (un)happy as before they won the lottery, if not worse off. Go talk to homeless people that have made it off the streets, and while there are obvious quality of life improvements to not living on the streets, far less obvious is the things that people lose when they get off the streets. There's a sense of community that the ex-homeless sometimes lament.

Money means you can afford therapy. Severe mental illness means it may not be the money itself that's the barrier to being successfully treated. Having money does mean it's not the money itself that's the barrier - spending the money on yourself may be a barrier, however!)

Money doesn't buy happiness. It entirely fair to point out that it's a helluva lot easier to be happy if you're not destitute. But let's also not pretend that there aren't rich people that are bored, lonely, and sad.
How many web frameworks is it useful to know? Is it more useful to know one in depth or many at surface level?

I don't have a problem with people trying out things, but I have worked with developers that appear to need a new tech for every project. These people are doing it on work time.

It's like when you see a tutorial learn python in 8 hours. That means you have 8 hours of experience in Python, you don't know it in the same way as someone who has used it for 4 years.
Yes. Even the cheaper zen processors make this so much more convenient.

Gentoo is actually a usable distro again and most of the packages (even things like mono) install decently fast.
I would say that the difference is that China's elites are interested in China's economic growth.
They want to see China big and powerful and for that they need to sacrifice some of that greed (and really beyond certain amount of money it's about power and prestige not about endless $$$ on your bank account).

The corrupted politicians and people are only interested in enriching themselves at the expense of everything else. For them being a client state of either Russia or the EU makes no difference because they know that to reverse the course of the country it takes more than one generation and nobody has time for that especially when you are buying your next super yacht.
> With humans, we can ask what went wrong and just hope we've fixed the problem.

A small wording change and they're equivalent again.

To some extent human beings are also a black box - with some very peculiar failure conditions and side-channel weaknesses.

If it makes more people interested in reading legal rulings - and in this case, realize that all of eastern Oklahoma belongs to the tribes - it's a good thing. Awareness is important in rulings like this. This ruling was necessary because a lot of people "forgot" that eastern Oklahoma was given to the tribes.
> In reality there's a TON of special interests driving who gets in front of the population to even be elected to Congress and then what the agenda is for them after being elected.

There aren't really. In other countries yes, the party can kick you out if they don't like you. In the US the parties don't really exist, there are just people.

There have been tons of primary upsets just this week and none of them are because of "special interests". No elite wants Jamaal Bowman or Lauren Boebert elected, but they'll be on the ballot.

Afterwards the control is mostly because we don't fund elections properly, so everyone except AOC has to spend all day calling donors.
It is possible to use the Debugger registry value to replace `mspaint.exe` with `mspaintxp.exe` seamlessly. (Or any software you want.)
It's cheaper to have a TDD test that takes 15 seconds to run and launches into an embedded kernel than it is to re-architect your whole system.

This is done! The existing correct algorithm is called the oracle and it’s used to validate the generated algorithm.

There’s some cool work on using neural program induction in compilers to try generate faster implementations based off the ‘oracle’ program that’s being compiled.
It's kinda sad that no one recommends Slackware Linux anymore.

Back in the day there we used to say: "when you know slackware you know Linux. When you know red hat all you know is red hat".

Effectively when I got into slackware my computer wasn't 100% working all of the time but I learned a lot. I then moved on and years later I got rhcsa certified and that's very worth it too.

Not sure about arch, I never really used that, but I can vouch for slackware, Gentoo and the RedHat/centos/rhcsa thing.
With Fortnite it's that my nephew's are really into Fortnite and Fornite YouTube. They're very aware, even at their young age of the "default" slur, they call each other names related to it jokingly. Peer pressure and probably influential YouTubers have them convinced they _must_ have particular skins at certain times.

They're so into the YouTube culture they recently requested (and received) RGB keyboards and accessories to adorn their desks even though they're gaming on consoles.

> As an empirical matter, it certainly seems as if their interest is in increasing federal power, since that gives them more power against their own state legislature. If they want a bill passed, they can use their federal power to create an obligation on their state parliament to pass a bill.

You already explained the reason this happens in Germany:

> the premier has an interest in transferring power from the state governments since their power as a member of the federal upper house is greater than their power as a member of the state lower house.

Solution: Don't put the same person in both houses.

> When, as in the US, state lines run through the middle of metropolitan areas, cities and even small towns, and generally serve more to divide than to unite, it is not at all obvious that an increase of federal power compared to state power is such a bad thing.

State lines that run through the middle of metropolitan areas are the best kind, because they give people the greatest choice. If you don't like your state government and voting hasn't gone your way you don't even have to move across the country to change jurisdictions, only across the street.

Moving things to the federal level does the opposite. Things haven't gone your way? Too bad, there's nowhere to run.
Is it really the case that people were unhappy?

I seriously doubt it. It's rather it was a very poor business decision as people didn't want to do the boring, but very necessary, work.
If this is interesting to you, Orson Welles has an utterly fascinating kind-of-documentary (it's a bit genre defying) about art forgery, named "F for Fake".

Thank you. So that gives the cost of the retirement plan at 10.5% of salary. The link, unfortunately, does not give what the cost of the healthcare plan is (or other benefits).

Your link also says they can retire at 50 with 30 years of service. Sure, it's not the full pension, but they'll still be receiving the pension for another 30 years. Seems generous to me.

I don't know a private company with a plan like that. SS doesn't start paying out until 62 (also at a reduced amount).

I find RelativeTimeFormat to be not as useful as it seems—it’s surprisingly limited in scope and utility. You still have to calculate the magnitude and unit of the distance (“3 hours ago” → (3, 'hour') rather than saying “here’s a Date object that happens to be about three hours in the future, you tell me what unit to show”), and it only supports one unit at a time (“1 day ago” or “27 hours ago”, not anything like “1 day, 3 hours ago”), and it can’t produce anything like “next Tuesday” or “this Friday”.

Twice I’ve started with it, twice I’ve tossed it out because in the end it didn’t help my code at all. (Both times I only cared about English, so its replacement which did a better job of formatting values for my situation took pretty much no extra code—for exact equivalence, formatter.format(-n, 'day') for known positive n becomes a simple ternary, `n == 1 ? '1 day ago' : '${n} days ago'` (or if the formatter has the {numeric: 'auto'} option, change '1 day ago' to 'yesterday'); but even with full localisation, I’d still be unlikely to use RelativeTimeFormat.)
This article is everything that’s wrong with internet media distribution. I’m traveling and my data overseas is very restricted in bandwidth. It takes a long time for the text to even load. And the text is among the first things to be loaded. And things are displayed as they are loaded because of course they designed it that way. And so I have to sit there reading a few lines at a time before another image or formatting element is loaded, shifting the entire column of text randomly in one direction or another. The fucking text randomly moves as I am trying to read it. It’s like it was designed to torture people. And the cherry on top is that it’s not even fucking necessary, as HN demonstrates, because a lean webpage could load everything in a fraction of a second. But no, everyone things it’s a good idea to pass around a fucking megabyte of JavaScript just to read filler articles. Good job. Good.

And thanks to the writhing inbred freak that is modern JavaScript, I get to enjoy another form of tech enlightenment which is that every time I scroll slightly upwards the fucking dynamic title bar pops down and blocks the text that I was reading. And then I scroll down and it goes away, ruining the alignment of the text with the top of the screen which I maintain to aid my reading. And like a tenacious torturer the fucking title bar pops up and down and up and down. I am living forever in the insane JavaScript bouncy house praying to god that I can find some way to kill myself to make the pain stop.
I mean that it should be at the top of the case instead of above the keys. If the bottom bezel would be reduced they would almost touch, making it "a part of the screen" instead of a part of the keyboard.

The current strip is out of sight all of the time so I cannot anticipate on it's changed context without taking my eyes off the screen.
Care to elaborate the other good reasons? And why they explain better the timing than the reasons cited in the article?

Why discourage people from entering music tech R&D? I’ve worked in this space for 7 years and we’re constantly on the lookout for talent! DAW programming is just one option for people wanting to develop musical applications, e.g. game industry (procedural audio, adaptive synthesis, etc), generative/adaptive music services (generative composition/arrangement for media or context dependent listening), mobile app development (on device synthesis, voice processing, etc). Furthermore, thanks to online learning resources (e.g. this author, JUCE ADC, etc) and online communities (e.g. KVR), it’s never been easier to learn how to build music DSP applications. However, we’re increasingly looking for people who have a strong background in both musical DSP and ML, so if you want to pursue a career in this space I suggest brushing up on traditional DSP and modern DSP/ML combined approaches (e.g. DDSP https://magenta.tensorflow.org/ddsp, QMUL research topics http://c4dm.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/audioengineering.html)
