Both the Android and Spring ecosystems are very much Kotlin centric at this point. Both still support Java because there are just so many older projects out there that won't or can't switch. So Google won't come out and pull the plug on lifesupport for that just yet; though they are making it very clear that they are focusing on Kotlin in their presentations, documentation, etc.

I've been in a few conservative backend projects in the last year where they were stubbornly insisting on Java. I've managed to convince a few on a path to Kotlin.

For those not familiar with the situation. With Spring 5 & Spring Boot 2, Spring started supporting Kotlin properly (i.e. 2 years ago). It worked fine before that but now Spring comes bundled with a lot of Kotlin extension functions that bridge the gap to idiomatic Kotlin. E.g. all the reactive stuff that Spring has you can (and IMHO should as it simplifies things a lot) do using kotlin co-routines. Things like Flows, suspend functions, etc. all just work seamlessly with Spring's Flux.

Also the documentation is now updated with kotlin code examples and increasingly it seems a lot of features are more Kotlin than Java centric.

If you don't need Spring, Ktor is emerging as a nice lightweight alternative. It's more of a express.js/ sinatra style framework. You can actually use Spring in a similar way with the bundled Kotlin router DSL but not everybody does that.
The main problem I see here is that the inserted image is much sharper than the original. I'd guess that the result would be more acceptable and less of a problem if the "blurriness" was preserved. Perhaps they should train on this aspect; it shouldn't be too difficult.

Hi, love this product. However, I'm kinda stuck on the installation and deploying process. What's the best way to talk to you regarding it?
On Fedora:

dnf install ocaml ocaml-camomile-devel emacs-tuareg-mode

will get you the compiler, Unicode support and an emacs editing mode. It's similarly easy on Debian. You can also install opam if you want to go that way: https://opam.ocaml.org/

C and vastly more so C++ have a lot of other problems. C compilers can give the right error message 95% of the. But They have an excuse since they are older languages. Python was developed in an era when people knew better.

Java and C# are examples of well designed grammars. Tooling was a first class requirement for C# and it shows. Where python will never have great tooling.
If Gigapixel AI works like other state of the art upscaling networks it upscales patches at the time, not the whole image at once. If the only context you have is small enough, scaling it up as Ryan Gosling's face seems completely reasonable. After all I see a face there too. When looking at the larger context(some kind of building) it becomes clear that there isn't supposed to a face, but the AI likely didn't have that much context.
Wouldn't work with iPads. If you have connected your Apple ID with the device and forget your password, you cannot even reset the device. Not sure on phones, but pretty sure it works in a similar way. Macs are probably different though. A "If they could, they would"-situation probably.
> I have this 4y old Android smartphone which is slow for no good reason. I tried everything, removing/disabling apps, reset etc.

Does it use eMMC storage, or is it new enough to be NVMe? Any pre-2016-ish smartphone is built with basically the guts of an SD card (or MultiMediaCard rather) for internal storage and is a ticking time-bomb with a limited number of write cycles. They'll get slower and slower and then eventually stop working completely. My NoteⅡ and then later my NoteⅣ both succumbed to this. I never owned one but I remember the Nexus 7 being especially notorious for dying this way. You can replace those chips with the right equipment but I've never tried.

> But it is possible I am just not imaginative enough. Do you have a concrete example of this?

Well, in the case of functor it's not terribly interesting, but here's an example. A functor F has the property F g . F h = F (g . h), so this means that if you were writing

map f (map g l)

you could write

map (f . g) l

instead, (in Haskell the compiler optimizes it anyway) but if your compiler actually traversed the list twice, now it traverses the list once.

I could list other things like how monoids, monads, etc. can help make programs more efficient (monoids allow exponentiation with squaring) or structure programs better (monads allow composition of partial/stateful/exceptional functions).
Same, but for ffmpeg.

I clip and crop videos of games I play, and find it much quicker to do with ffmpeg, rather than use some big video editing software that will have way more features than I need.

Sick of constantly Googling, I made a tiny cheat sheet to keep around to copy-paste my most common incantation to centre crop video to 16:9 and resize to 720p. https://github.com/joshhunt/docs/blob/master/ffmpeg.md

I might consider adding a few examples to the ffmpeg cheat/cheatsheet and ditch mine :)

How to Close the Right Deals During a Pandemic
It's interesting to suddenly get all these hits.. I haven't touched the blog in a long time.

I'm sorry that you didn't find it well-written -- it wasn't written with you in mind. Originally I wanted to write about my research in a way that was understandable to a lay person, but I quickly abandoned that and went for the mythical "second year undergrad" level.

You have pretty strong thoughts about what is "useful mathematical work". Are you the high priest and decider of the usefulness of mathematics? To be honest, it almost sounds like some category theorist was super mean to you...

One more thing. Arguments like "niche of a niche" are sociological - just because something is niche doesn't mean it's not important (or, god forbid, fun!). Maths is one of the most conservative fields in this sense; what is and is not considered "standard" is extremely political.

> The cloud is not a backup

Of course the cloud is a backup. Why do you think it isn’t? Because it may break? All storage may break.

The cloud is a backup. Like all backups, you need multiple independent backups.
The choice is important. About 20% of apps on my Android phone come from F-Droid marketplace distributing free software and some of them are not distributed via Play store at all. And then there are Amazon App Store, Galaxy Store etc. (device-manufacturer stores) https://fossbytes.com/10-google-play-store-alternatives/
well it is a backup.
if you loose the backup but have the original, there is no problem.
if you loose the original but have the backup on a cloud, there is no problem.

of course if you loose both at the same time, that's bad. actually the best thing is of course to use multiple backup locations
Sure, Google can save your files. But will it? and will you never lose access to Google?

The problem with these big cloud providers is there are employees and robots with a big "disable account button", but there's no one you can call to talk about reenabling your account. I don't know what the odds are that Google is going to hit that "disable account" button on your account, it's probably incredible small, but if it would ever happen they might have permanently deleted all your stuff before you get far enough in their customer support system to have them reinstate your account.

If my livelihood depended on Google storing my files, I'd store a backup of my data somewhere that I can access in person if push comes to shove. As a matter of fact it does, and I do.
Just be aware that it sometimes requires some per game tinkering with the four different GBARunner "flavors" to get things to work, and some games have annoying problems regardless of the flavor you pick. Overall it works well enough that it's a very convenient thing to have on your DS though :)

I used to work in this space. It is incredibly easy to detect and counter. It just costs money. Amazons retail margins are too good to mess with. Customers are not leaving fast enough to make fixing it worth it. Every time you produce a model showing net present value going down due to fraud someone else will produce one that doesn’t. That guy gets promoted.

Amazon is simply cashing in on its reputation. Once it’s gone you might as well buy from the Chinese source. People used to search stores for things they’d buy cheaper on Amazon. Now people are searching Amazon for things they’ll buy cheaper Alibaba.

Personally, I’ve already shifted to buying DIY tools and supplies directly from China. I found the quality good enough. Some of the industrial consumables you can’t even buy retail in the US. For the high end stuff I buy direct from outlets. I don’t trust Amazon with that either. I could see a future where Amazon gets squeezed from both ends.

Being innocent of vorticism, I had been going on the description provided at hazard by Uncle Google:

https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/v/vorticism/blast-radi...

Also gives a bit of the flavour that "history is more or less bunk" and Tomorrow Belongs to Me.[1]

Weil notes that although german fascists and communists had divergent political ends (for in the end they were planning to be rid of each other) they both agreed the first step to their (respective) Project Community of Tomorrow involved disempowering german social democrats.

> if it’s an effective way to stop malware, it’s probably an effective way to prevent people from running Unreal Engine games as well.

Probably only one or the other. If Epic produces legitimate software that users have a legitimate reason to run, some of them will become accustomed to clicking through in order to run a legitimate program. Then, they will become more likely to click through on other programs: "Oh, they're probably banned for business reasons like Epic, not for security reasons like malware".

Apple is clearly hoping that is not the outcome, and that Epic simply loses as close to 100% of their Apple-based customers as they reasonably can.
The article is about auto accident claims data, which is a great clue that HIPAA actually doesn't apply. From a different part of the Internet[1]:

"There are certain gaps [in HIPAA coverage], like if a person meets with an accident on a car; the health insurer as well as the auto insurer shall receive the medical bills of that person. The health insurer is responsible for protecting the health data of this person under HIPAA; the auto insurer on the other hand does not hold that duty."

What doesn't actually work properly on iOS? Like what are the specific APIs that are missing (because PWA isn't actually a real thing, it's just a collection of APIs), or are buggy? IIRC you can't prompt for "app" "install", and service worker support for background activity is limited (as it should be IMHO).

It's funny Apple gets this bad rep, when on the UI front they've actually had some really good APIs much earlier than Chrome. CSS Snap Points, backdrop-filter, and position: sticky on iOS all have been really great at creating more native-like experiences on web.

But really, despite being a web developer, I just have very little experience in trying to compete with actual native apps which will always inherently be more capable and performant. This isn't really due to the platform being supposedly hindered by a particular company, but more down to the inherent free for all nature of the web where there's very little _authorised intent_ you can express.
Not quite. Super-resolution from face prior is probably a bad idea if you're looking to identify someone, but super-resolution from video works. It doesn't make up information based on what it expects the face to be, but collects and aggregates information from multiple frames.
I have a feeling the "detect faces" feature is a hand-engineered feature. It isn't end-to-end ML like the rest of the software.

I guess they run a face detector over the whole image, then cut out faces, pass them through a system to generate a similar but sharp and clear face, and then blend that back into the original image.

Measurement-Based Evaluation of Google/Apple Exposure Notification API [pdf]

I've used this before (as an API consumer, not an author), and while it's better than many other documentation sites, for some reason the "scrolling will change the URL and active navigation item" was really disorienting. I kept finding myself lost in the one long stream of documentation -- there was no anchor!

The goal is to have everything browser-searchable (i.e. ctrl-f), and I think it's a good goal. I wonder if there's a better way than having everything on a single page with very little compartmentalization, though.
