Well, you should understand this a little better, then.

Okay try this scenario: lets say I work for a German company that is kicking ass in a market that a spook-at-Amazon has heavily invested in - lets just say "personal transportation system X".

Because its Germany, the tech is amazing and consequently I'm going to sell this tech to Africa, because I like doing that, and not in America - because fuck America, that's why. Also, maybe China, maybe Kazakhstan. My tech, my choice.

Should I succeed in this endeavour, I'm immediately under threat of being NSA'ed by the provider of service I'd rely on, ordinarily, to render my research.

This isn't paranoia, it is due diligence.

Yeah, no thanks, Amazon. This heralds a watershed moment: a return to local services.

Just better to avoid the American spook-o'-sphere entirely, and play a local hand. Maybe even take the data centre guys out for grünkohl and senf some time, whatever.

Look - to understand why the hate for all the spook/control paranoia, Americans/Brits/5-eyes/et al., all you have to do is try to see it from the other side of the national identity for a second.

Germans are very, very rightly on the side of data protection.

The holes in the ground that used to be Gestapo buildings are not all parking lots! Some of them are memorials.

Also not paranoia: diligence.

> [1]: Police violence in the news in the United States. How common it is is very debatable, the worst news bubbles to the top and catches the media's attention. For every police shooting there are probably 100+ stops with no shooting. Hopefully the increased media attention has led to concrete studies that will either prove or invalidate my point.

The federal government seems to have been quietly collecting and publishing relevant statistics for some time now: https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=tp&tid=70

Without diving deeply into the data, I know that such collections efforts are occasionally prone to issues where different departments record similar events in drastically different ways. So there are known shortcomings in the data set, but there is data. I'm reasonably sure researchers have worked with this data.

> [3]: Living in two cities (Eugene OR, and San Francisco) with high rates of homelessness, vagrants, and transients, and observing the success of non-police based services versus police-based services interacting with the homeless.

I have no doubts whatsoever about the success of kind, compassionate, and humanitarian services in Eugene. However it seems to me to be contra-factual to describe SF's services to community members experiencing being unsheltered as at all a success except by the metric of quantity of money spent. Police-based or no seems minimally impactful.
First of all congratulations on a great looking app. I just set it up for my work account (I use a different provider for my private mail) and I love how I have all labels available. I'm also excited that you'll distribute it via the Mac App Store.

My job these days is heavily email based, it sometimes feels like all I'm doing all day is jump between gmail, Slack and Zoom. Thus I've spent a lot of time optimizing my workflow with labels, etc. Unfortunately, I also rely on a lot of integrations with 3rd party services (through Chrome plugins):

- Salesforce
- Calendly
- Grammarly

If push comes to shove I can do without Calendly and maybe even without Grammarly but its entirely impossible for me to do my work. I dream of an email client like this but the unfortunate reality today is that anything not (easily) connected to certain other services is in a tough position for email power-users - or just people in weird jobs.

Good luck. I'll keep an eye on Mimestream. Maybe at some point there'll be a plug-in API and an opportunity to bring some 3rd party services into the app.
> My workaround was to coach non-technical managers to pick up clues from the person's peers. If you privately ask 3 random team members to estimate tasks and 1 person constantly gives estimates 10x longer than anyone else, that person should be watched closely for performance issues.

So I had a boss who would call a group meeting, bring up a problem that needs to be solved, and ask people who can do it. One engineer would explain that this is a research-level AI problem that would take years to solve, another engineer would say he's going to have some time to hack on it later in the week, and a third would say that he can pull an all-nighter tonight and solve it. So the manager would pat himself on the back for a job well done. He created a spirit of healthy competition in the team, he exposed the slacker (the first engineer) for what he is, and he squeezed the third engineer for all he got. A year later, the team would be back in the same place, with the manager calling a meeting and bringing up the same problem, which as it turns out the users are still suffering from and higher-ups in management are pestering him about again.

It doesn't matter that you are getting more users if those users are old and that's basically what is happening to Facebook. FB these days is just a place where content gets recycled, original content, viral memes and cultural trends happen elsewhere (TT, IG, etc). Just try to list the number of public figures (that young people care about) that use FB as its main channel? Now compare that against TT, IG, etc.

I was going to come here and ask about better alt-text until I read the linked page you referred to (https://bighack.org/how-to-write-better-alt-text-description...). I still have a question about a sight-impaired person's perception of what that image represents. Do you form an image in your head matching the text? Is this different for those who are blind from birth versus those that lost their sight after some time? Should the image be part of the "story" of the page or should the story stand on its own? And finally, for the case above where the image is decorative (as defined here: https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/decorative/) would you prefer that the empty alt tag recommendation is used (and do screen readers recognize that semantic).

2.) I just like the language and have used it professionally for years

I am cynical about this because I view our current society as a kind of giant prisoners dilemma. If you sacrifice to make things better it is just allowing for others to behave worse for longer. If I take short showers to conserve water, it just opens the road for other people to use more. Until we hit a giant drought that forces people to confront the consequences they will continue watering giant lawns. Apply that to whatever area of life you want.
"Feed it right now" is true. "Feed it sustainably" - that is, be able to keep feeding it - is also something we care about. And there are some worrying signs about sustainability - the Ogallala Aquifer, the collapse of ocean fish stocks, and so on.

Does that prove it's unsustainable? No. The way to prove it's unsustainable is to have a massive die-off, which is not a way I'm interested in proving anything.

I think this is a function of the friends you have, and what Facebook assumes you like to see based on the pages your friends like (lookalike audience targeting). When I was more active on Facebook, there was a lot of left-wing direct action, and zero Fox News stuff.

Not that there's _no_ way to transport it over the wire, it just requires the full environment (a JVM on the other end - because we have java-specific stuff like spark calls). I'd put it at an order-of-magnitude more complex than something declarative like a JSON schema which is pretty safe to execute anywhere.

I don't think this is a really big failing of spec - I don't know of ANY validation tools that don't have to compromise between power/extensibility/ease-and-safety-of-execution-somewhere-else.
Maybe if you implemented some kind of uber-validator in purely functional prolog or something?

A DSLR has, among many other settings, the ability to set white balance manually. Phones, or at least my phone, do not. Some of these settings may be able to be introduced via an update to the camera app, but many (eg manual focus, aperture, ISO) are limitations of the camera hardware.

By the time any of that is ready, their purchase of Oculus will be more than a decade in the past. I think the acquisition was probably a mistake, but for Facebook blowing $2 billion isn't a very big mistake.

From my perspective as a consumer and somebody who was very interested in VR 6 years ago, I wish Oculus had either remained independent or had been purchased by somebody that was actually going to do something with the technology before a decade passes. I think Facebook's purchase of Oculus is one reason VR has lost so much energy and interest (Magic Leap's hilariously bad execution in AR hurts VR too).

I guess you are getting in to Go design philosophy. These questions are similar to "why go does not allow lint to just issue warning for unused variables / packages instead of giving hard compiler error?" The answers to these are unfortunately unsatisfactory, no matter how logical.

There is a science of color reproduction. It is quite tough because they way we perceive colors is amazingly complicated. But it is quite possible to make an effort.

Of course, most photography is not about color reproduction but about telling a story.

And automatic cameras (like the way phones are mostly used) take a way a lot of control when it comes to deciding how color look in the photo. On most phones you can frame the image, zoom a bit, and decide when to take the image. Other controls like aperture, shutter speed and color balance are automatic.

I second this emotion -
"How would you check a spec from anything other than clj/cljs" is (IMO) the critical question here. Sure you could check out my git repo in a safe VM and execute it there, but that's a WHOLE lot more hassle than an XML or JSON schema. It's not just a language barrier thing.

There's nothing stopping spec predicates from making network calls, looping forever, etc. If I wanted to be able to call my spec from other apps I'm writing, I could package it as a library easily, but a workflow like rest call->get spec->validate data (which I've implemented many times for JSON schema for simpler things) wouldn't really be practical with spec (without at least setting some really tight restrictions on what features of spec you're allowed to use)

Again, not really a failing of spec, it's just not designed for that kind of workflow.
The articles uses Amazon's own reviews to provide statistical indications that the failure rate is higher for some Amazon Basics items:

>Since the microwave's release in the fall of 2018, its product page has been flooded with reports from consumers about problems including flames, smoke and sparks. These kinds of reviews made up roughly 5% of the AmazonBasics microwave's more than 3,000 reviews as of February [...] A microwave that has been reviewed less frequently but is the same size and wattage had only 10 reviews describing similar safety issues -- amounting to around .7% of its roughly 1,350 reviews on Amazon

and..

>Amazon said its own analysis, which added global reviews about the AmazonBasics surge protector, found 1.1% involved claims of overheating, fire and other dangers. One former AmazonBasics product manager ...[said] that a ratio of around .05% would have been seen as more acceptable when she worked there.

Not smoking guns (wires?) but certainly indications that further investigation is warranted.

I’ll give it my second biggest big compliment: I’ve wanted to do something like this for years. (My biggest compliment is: why didn’t I think of that?)

Anyway, do you have a robust methodology for testing this? I’ve seen people make simple mistakes like summing volatilities or using the European options model for US options and dozens of other small issues. It would almost be as large a contribution to come up with a testing suite.
As a very heavy user of spec, I’ve since switched to using Malli [0], which is similar but uses plain data to model specs (and doesn’t use Clojure Spec at all).

No need to shut down the country to practice social distancing, though.
I remember when they killed that feature. It was the same time they introduced an app platform.

To replace the feature, there were competing class list apps, each requiring users install it and with its own data, so none of them worked.

I remember thinking whoever made that decision probably didn't understand the feature. But they sure were motivated to build an app ecosystem nobody asked for.
IKR, went in expecting a natural derivative off based on the title. Not to witness three "perfect" shots which came out okay. Wonder why it's here. It isn't thorough, doesn't provide examples either.

So, how do we "sell" forums to our friends and colleagues without them knowing they're using one? :)

If forums are inherently useful and the issue is just perception, then this sounds to me like a design question.

Don't get me wrong, I miss the style of conversation predating social media, but I think that if the reason was purely perception based, we'd find a solution. Think of any annoying, seemingly useless, or just impractical rituals we follow every day.

Forums provide a much better signal vs. noise ratio due to its async nature and increased effort required to submit content. And, that's great.

But, it's also terrible, because most people just won't bother putting more effort into written communication. This is too much friction. This isn't how we talk any more. And, I think that's the main reason why forums are not mainstream.
I draw the line at object recognition. If the processing involves semantic meaning (e.g. this is sky, this is a face) instead of geometric meaning (e.g. this is an edge, this is a Bayer filter artifact) then it's lying. It doesn't matter if the object recognition is done by AI (e.g. faking depth of field by blurring background) or by humans applying selective processing (e.g. painting out red-eye effect, or using a graduated neutral-density filter to enhance sky). Honest processing has no awareness of what objects are in the scene.
