These kind of palettes always struggle with brighter yellows like #ffe400 because of the necessary normalization across hues to make it a full palette in first place, which of course prevents some colors to fulfill their potential (which is often at their peak chromacity). No AI can solve this problem because it's how colors work.

I think it's best to keep the palette separate from the code (e.g. store palettes in an app like Sip), and not insist on the replaceability of colors across a range. E.g. instead of blue-500 use functional names like btn-color or brand-color and alias the colors that way in code.

One issue seems to be that it wasn't seen as desirable to promote something that is not source-available under whatever license, which conflicts with the main idea of the TGPPL of keeping the software closed-source during the grace period. Another issue was ensuring the source becomes available after the grace period as intended. I may be wrong, though, as I haven't read even half of the extensive discussions on this topic.

GPT-3 Philosopher
When I read stories like this I can't help but think of Newspeak[0] from 1984. From afar (not a native English speaker nor a US resident here) it feels like a form of control over people through control of their language.

People like to blame progressive ideology for these sort of crazy stuff.
But actually, the real culprit is consumerism and customer mentality of students. The professor was suspended because the faculty is terrified from upset customers. Same goes for all cancel culture incidents.

The hyper producticised media , is using the upset sentiment to get attention (racial clickbait triggers)
But it's riding the tiger, so it needs to keep pace with its own click bait to not get the customers to hate them and boycott them.

This dynamics spills onto the academic realm. Students
at US colleges consider themselves customers. So they must never be made upset. They have silly optic based notions of justice. And the faculty have to comply.

This is what contemporary information capitalism does. Consumes and kill off any sort of idea turning it to plastic product and optics.
Or you know, we could just tell these idiots to grow up or get therapy.

There was no malice intended here at all. If people can't even hear a word from another language that vaguely resembles a racial slur when used in a non malicious context then they probably need therapy. Not coddled.

Sounds very similar! Say no more!

The person who uttered it is a professor lecturing on language and culture. So it's unfortunate if they weren't aware of that aspect of cultural sensitivity in language, or accidentally missed it this time.

As I said, I think this could be a constructive learning moment for a lot of people. (Though it might not be, if all dialogue is shouted&voted down by a team rivalry: between those who want to cancel everything they disagree with, and those who presume to understand the situations of everyone else and are the better arbiter of what everyone else has a right to care about.)

Not sure what the window is as far as how far removed it can be from directly overhead, and yet still be able to receive that signal with a small antenna like that.

What it takes to hit the repeater I'm less sure. I've heard it can be done with an HT like mine, but I'm guessing that's only possible when it's directly overhead, or very near so. That said, I'd be happy to find out that I'm wrong about that.

> The paper you throw in the bin today is actually of no further use to anyone.

I believe the journalist is actually making a damning, albeit poorly introduced, argument against the device as confronted to cultural expectations.

If these keyboards become widespread, it could become easy to mistakenly bin them, because “it is just paper” and it is not obvious that there is a potentially expensive coating and invisible circuit printed on it.

It is a similar argument to the one made against Bitcoin, in which it is all too easy to lose access to money because we hold a cultural habit to discard old hard drives – but now suddenly, they are also wallets containing potentially large sums.

This is a common myth, but it is false. The “red dot” is just a blood spot that sometimes occurs as part of the egg formation process, not an indicator of fertilisation!

https://qz.com/431136/heres-why-your-brown-eggs-have-more-bl...

It’s pretty much impossible for a commercially-produced hens egg to be fertilised. Duck eggs are a bit different because they tend to be produced on smaller farms, where they can come in to contact with wild ducks.

Edit: It’s also apparently much more difficult to tell male ducks apart from female ones, compared to chickens. One article says the most reliable method is to “listen to the sound of their quacks”!

A very very small chance, but not no chance. It's very unlikely but in theory it is possible that by the start of the last stage the GC difference between place 1 and 2 is a couple of seconds. And the last 50km around Champs Elysees are so hectic that anything could happen. A flat tire 10-5km from the line could be enough to lose those precious seconds.

Another possibility could be an organized coup by the 2nd place team, then it essentially becomes a team time trial between 2nd and 1st place teams, while the rest of the peloton is battling for the sprint victory. Unlikely but not impossible.
It would be great for at least most basic and mundane SQL. Especially because there is a lot boilerplate for simple things, that would be easy to leverage.
I'm no expert in chicken rearing but isn't it quite likely that the more "free range" your eggs are raised the more chance of accidental having a fertalized egg? Seems much less likely in caged hens (at significant harm to the chicken of course).
What is more baffling is that this attitude is exported internationally.

I'll reproduce the comment here. It's incredible it's been flagged. But, well, that's HN for you: lots of aggressive comments full of fallacies, censorship through downvotes and flagging, and almost no arguments, only ferocious defenses of firm personal ideologies.

The "author" is in his right to put a price tag on an OS--or on anything that he so desires--that is in any case heavily incompatible with the device it's been ported to, but that will make it more difficult for others to make it actually useful through improving on it and adapting it to the ReMarkable--which has a good hobbyist community behind it that puts out very good software (https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable) for free, even when it's usually much more thought out and vastly more useful than that Parabola port. I would've put it out for free and accepted voluntary donations, as I always do, but that's me.

> Elixir is layered, making it easy to learn and master. You can get pretty far with Phoenix without ever understanding (or even knowing about) the more fundamental building blocks or the runtime. In large part, this is because of its ruby-inspired syntax. You'll have to adjust to immutability, but that's pretty much it.

This is my main problem with elixir. Even for senior developers it's hard to know how the building blocks and runtime works and since all abstractions are leaky, you'll end up with mysterious issues that only make sense once you understand all the layers. And in case of elixir there are lots.

What is going on with Cloudflare support?
Looking for some input from other Cloudflare (CF) users on here, as I suppose there are many of you.
I am beginning to feel somewhat cheated by the promised turnaround times for CF tickets.

The Free tier states a 'median response time' for e-mails of less than 24h.

Pro: Less than 4h. (This is the tier I am on)

Business: Less than 2h.

Enterprise: Less than 1h.

There is a notice stating that COVID is causing delays, of an unspecified severity. I fully understand the issue. I am also impacted by COVID, so I can only imagine what an organisation like Cloudflare must be experiencing.

It took 8 days to get a first response. Anyway, it has now been another 6 days. (Remember, on a 'median' response time of 4h + COVID delays).

I desperately need a better estimation of how long tickets take to turn around. I would also strongly recommend that the estimates on this page[1] (and related pages) are either removed or updated with massively increased timeframes, to ensure CF's customers can manage their customers' expectations.

How is everyone else experiencing support at the moment? Is anyone on the Business / Enterprise plans and doing better?

P.s. This message is not intended to push my specific issue in front of the line, so I won't mention either my account name or ticket number here or to any CF representatives that may respond. I am simply after some input from other community members (or CF representatives) on how long their support queries are taking currently, so that I can tell my customers what to expect. I should also note that I am generally quite fond of CF and their team members, and have had mostly good experiences dealing with them.

The craziest thing about this is that it wasn't - as I initially assumed - a misunderstanding. The Dean's email says the professor used 'a Chinese word that sounds very similar to a vile racial slur in English'.. 'Chinese'.. 'similar'... ok, yes, and?

AI can solve it better than normal code can: you have to train on how humans see color. (This has been a long-standing ambition of mine, but sadly there's not yet much work or infrastructure in the field of "graphics AI." There's barely one software rasterizer. https://github.com/vahidk/tf.rasterizer)

The key would be to spend an absurd amount of time carefully cataloguing good colors – by hand – and training it to extrapolate from that information. That's basically how the Musnell color system was created. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munsell_color_system It's the realization that color space isn't spherical, it's not a cube, it's not any shape at all except "how humans happened to evolve." Even the term "max chromaticity" is just a reflection of the weird way our brains happen to work, not an intrinsic property of color.

In that context, a universal curve fitting algorithm might be handy. Which of course is all that AI is.
Incorrect. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15230795
Almost. Blood dots happen in both fertilized and unfertilized eggs so the red dot is not an indicator of anything aside from stress in the hen.

The white dot is the germinal disc and in an unfertilized egg it is solid. In a fertilized egg, it has a little halo which will grow wide after incubating for a few hours.

I get where you're coming from, but by phrasing it this way you draw up the image of a secret cabal of influential marxists waging a "campaign" via gullible students. That's not really doing the rest of your argument justice.

As always, the much more likely story is that these students are gullible and silly totally by their own means.
