> Your complaint on the documentation reads oddly. You do know there is a tutorial included, right? And, it mostly does what you are asking. You can even try to speed run through it occasionally to make sure you still remember everything.

But that's the point: it doesn't.

Maybe it does if you want to invest a few hours getting up and running, but I don't have that kind of time: I need to get stuff done now.

I'm not saying I'm too important, or my time is too valuable, or any nonsense like that: I just don't have time to invest in spending a day or even half a day learning what are in contemporary times the basics of using a text editor.

And that's the problem with the tutorial: it doesn't start with a quick two page summary of what, in contemporary times, are considered the basics of using a text editor. It's long-winded and academic and takes way too long to get to the point on any and all relevant topics.

The result is that I have to (and not just me: anybody used to non-emacs - or perhaps vim - editors) invest non-insignificant amounts of time learning basic functionality that works in a common way across most other editors and IDEs (IDEA, Visual Studio, Rider, VS Code, Sublime, TextPad, XCode - heck, even Microsoft Word) and learn completely different paradigms for all of it just because emacs is "special". It's pretty frustrating because for me the editor is not the point. I'm only looking at emacs at all because a lot of editors, once you get to a project of any size, become absolute CPU hogs and it starts to get in the way. But given the grief I may come to the conclusion that a better investment is just to buy a faster laptop.

I'm totally happy to be proven, or to prove myself, wrong, but right now the whole emacs ecosystem seems unnecessarily, contrarily alien simply for the sake of it.

There also seems to be a strong lack of empathy for users. Few influential people seem to have given any consideration as to how to make the software accessible for newcomers. In this day and age that's almost laughable.
Agreed. Mark Cerny has said that some features in RDNA2 are a direct result of collaboration between Sony/AMD.

Intel is vulnerable. Now is the time for AMD to strike!
This scares me a bit. A part of email validation is ensuring they actually own that account. It depends on the sensitivity of the service to an extent but I don't think it's appropriate to let somebody interact as if they were a specific email account until they've proven it's theirs.

Edit: I do like the recommendation of showing them the email they're waiting to validate so that they can see typos.

I can vouch for dehydrated. It only needed updating once (probably due to the mentioned protocol change), and it's running ever since on all my servers without any issues, or updates, or bloat. It's just a shellscript. (several years already, around 4-5)

Nobody disagrees with that, I greatly respect the project's authors, and even just successfully replicating it would be undoubtedly a great learning experience!

I think the comment is just trying to align the expectations better, given the context in which it appears and is communicated.

The $200 claim is plainly inaccurate, and unlike many open-source projects whose stated and successfully executed aims are to provide a hacker-friendly, cheaper alternative, this project does is not one of those; and its technology is in fact inferior. If one aims to experiment with VR, there's simply better options for an individual.

This is separate from the project itself being a great achievement and/or a potential base for further community improvements - and it would be appropriate to celebrate those aspects, which the website, and their ProductHunt entry do not communicate too well - as is evident from even this comment section.

I strongly recommend that anyone using spec for validation should check out Orchestra, to instrument the functions and have them automatically validated on each and every call: https://github.com/jeaye/orchestra

For my team, generators and parsing are basically useless with spec. We just don't use them. But describing the shape of data and instrumenting our functions, using defn-spec, to ensure that the data is correct as it flows through the system is exactly what we want and nothing I've seen in Clojure land does it like spec + Orchestra can.

I think part of this may boil down to different types of testing. We primarily use functional testing, especially for our back-end, so we're starting from HTTP and hitting each endpoint as the client would. Then we ensure that the response is correct and any effects we wanted to happen did happen. This is much closer to running production code, but we do it with full instrumentation. Being able to see an error describing exactly how the data is malformed, which function was called, and what the callstack was is such a relief in Clojure.

:wave Kenneth here. Linux support is on the roadmap, and can be supported via https://libimobiledevice.org/ but not all functionality might be possible, as libimobiledevice isn't 100% on pair with Apple's own driver that's provided via iTunes on MacOS and Windows.

Would love to get some help testing this as I'm not a Linux user myself. Shoot me an email at kenneth@auchenberg.dk if you are interested!

It's funny that you mention this because to me the car kind of looks like it's grey, lit by orange light from all sides except the top. Edit: after looking at it a bit more I think you're right and I'm wrong
Yeah, I'm making a generalization about the platform and what it incentivizes. It's definitely not to say that all channels create filler.

I don't think we'll ever know. It touched just about everything we do on this planet. Unprecedented effects, outcomes, and changes.

- died from COVID directly or exasperated

- life shortened by Covid, but most diseases have this effect as well

- life shortened by being locked down, mental health, not exercising

- died because they did not seem treatment / screening for other diseases (stroke, cancer)

Then there is all the economics stuff, which I'm not sure you asking about (to be part of the "cost")
That is how they teach it in elementary school, but it was all more complicated in reality.

The article body contradicts the title: global population will peak at around 9.7 billion people in 2064

There's a big difference between "is currently declining" and "is growing, but projected to start declining in 44 years".

In fact, a quick skim of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projections_of_population_grow... reveals a peak in 2064 is among the lower estimates, with most projections showing continued growth up to 2100.
We use some tools to understand traffic and fortunately most of the traffic is clean. One downside with asking for usernames alone is that people (not too surprisingly), come up with creative but very profane usernames!
I also don't understand the value in giving away more than you need to get someone to commit. If your product has any type of cost associated with converting you may be better to filter poor prospects early, i.e. those who won't even give out an email. This is likely better than carrying them farther down the process with more promising conversions.

Thanks for all the pictures! My comment was probably too flippant, I didn't mean to say a realistic style of painting had no value after the invention of the photography. I was just trying to explain why painting styles have changed, for better or worse. For example I love the hand drawn illustrations used in many advertisements and posters in most of the 20th century. They have artistic qualities photography cannot replace. But nevertheless, photography have gradually overtaken this domain and now totally dominates advertising. It is clearly what the market demands.

The most prestigious genre in the academic style was the historical painting. My claim is the movie industry and perhaps now computer games are catering to this demand for immersive historical representation and myths.

A realistic illustration style have survived for long in comic books and sf/fantasy book covers. Here realism is an important tool to make the fantastic feel real. But as the capabilities for CGI advances, Hollywood is taking over here: Today marvel movies outsells marvel comics many times. The market speaks clearly, for better or worse.

To be clear, by realism I mean a style which strives for realism in anatomy, perspective, lighting and so on. Hokusai or Bekinski are not realist any more than say van Gogh. But Frazetta clearly is building on a realist style reminiscent of the historical painting, just with more monsters.

How do you know that it wasn't caused simply by selecting for more serious trialers? What makes you think the cause was "committing", and not a selection thing?
Ah, apologies the linked stories and videos go into more detail. The “50 percent jump” is from Instructions per cycle alone with process node improvements and better cache architecture also contributing gains.

Final perf numbers are being speculated as being “close to 3080” in the chip forums, but I’d take that with a grain of salt since those are rumors alone.
Even our eyes/brain interpret what we see differently from others - the famous blue/gold[1] dress is a great example of this.

While I agree that RAW capture will provide an improvement in the amount of data gathered from the sensor, and available for adjustments later on, if a user sets a custom white balance while taking a RAW picture, that setting will generally be accepted as a default rendering of the scene in most RAW processing software.

This is entirely besides the point because the issue stated here involves color interpretation based on a selected white point. Left to their own devices digital cameras will compensate for scene color on purpose, because 99% of the time people don't want color casts in their photos. The author is trying to blame the camera for people's ignorance of photography, which is just silliness.

Don't agree? Set your phone's white balance to daylight for a week and see how often you agree that the captured picture is what you actually wanted

100% agree. This worked for us, but is likely to vary by business and this is not a silver bullet. I do think though people who register with email and convert tend to be people who would convert already (i.e., there is a bias already). Product managers can test opening up the funnel more by asking for emails later in the funnel.
No. A bigger lens (more light) would correct for gain errors. A bigger sensor would improve either spatial resolution or gain error or both. None of that has anything to do with color balance.

All digital color photography is computational because sensor physics, display physics, and human biology are distinct processes. Whenever you have multiple color channels you need to make assumptions about the relationships between them. This is color balance and it happens in software.

“All of Statistics” by Larry Wasserman is a very good - if concise - introduction to statistics. Doesn’t require too much background, although the problems can get pretty hairy. Unfortunately, many of the proofs in the field are based on “tricks” that accumulate, which makes the learning curve steeper for people who don’t have as much background in finding/using these tricks.
Just set the image's white balance to daylight (3500K). The colors that you see will not be corrected. You can tweak from there.
Pentagon nearing enterprise-wide infrastructure to deploy AI at scale
> to use Emacs to any extent where it's more useful than it's competitors, you have to learn the models it works in, a new programming language- and then there are a LOT of keystrokes

Let's take these claims one by one:

> you have to learn the models it works in

I read a book on Emacs and practiced along all within one week. At the end of the week, I was doing more with it than with any of the previous text editors I used.

Indeed, my desire to learn Emacs was explicitly to replace the other editors I was using - and I succeeded. Over the subsequent weeks, every time I encountered a situation where I said "Oh, I wish the feature I used in editor X existed in Emacs", a quick Google search told me how to set it up for Emacs.

> a new programming language

I was a power Emacs user for over 9 years before I learned Emacs Lisp. Clearly wrong claim.

> and then there are a LOT of keystrokes

While I'll admit you get more productive the more you learn, for most of those 9 years I did not know many keystrokes. Instead, you do M-x and the command. With completion systems like ido (the "simplest" of the powerful completion systems), you can quickly find the desired command just by guessing what it will be named.

I only started learning lots of keystrokes recently, using flashcard software. And even with that, I stopped after about a year once I learned how to use hydra.

The real threat is that it allows China to get a foothold into the international tech game, and thus allows them to become more powerful in comparison with their adversaries.

I’m a vim+gcc user and have never used an IDE in my life, yet even I can’t live without STM32CubeMX. You’d have to be crazy to live without it, how could you possibly figure out non-overlapping pin assignments.
How would you pattern match with Clojure without using core.match? Do you mean using another library?

Edit: oh I understand what you mean, you were thinking of skipping the s/conform part, and use core.match directly. Personally, I consider spec an excellent library to describe the shape of data, and core.match allows for better describing the actions you want to take based upon that.

For example, with spec you can define a bunch of alternatives using s/or, and then use core.match to then easily traverse the results.

It’s more a matter of separation of concerns to me. I don’t use core.match for validation or describing shapes of data.

My colleague got last year's x395 with the AMD 3000 series. It only lasts 3.5 hours battery with web browsing and moderate coding, whereas it's supposed to last ~7 hours real-world on windows.
Asking only gets you so far though. There's a reason the saying "actions speak louder than words" exists. Plus it's hard to answer this accurately without more info.

Take me... am I interested, in principle, in something like this? Yes. Am I going to sign up? I'd say the probability of "no" is about 90%. Why? Because attention is limited and there's some new "thing" coming out every day that somebody wants me to sign up for, and I can't be bothered to deal with most of them. The truth is, I wouldn't know if I really wanted to join your site until I can see the site, see the other users, get a feel for the community, etc.

I could be wrong, but I doubt I'm unique in this regard.

So what's the takeaway from that? I guess I'd say it's something like "don't put too much stock in a poll like this unless you get really extreme results in one direction or the other". I mean, if 10,297 people vote "yes" and 3 people vote "no", or vice versa, that would be a strong signal.

The harder part is if 5100 people vote "yes" and 5200 vote "no". How do you disambiguate the people who "voted no, but would actually join if the thing were appealing enough" or the people who "voted yes, but won't really join unless the thing is appealing enough"?

It's a little bit of a catch-22, sadly.
Earthworks / installation costs are probably higher than material costs.
I'm was not familiar with the exact definitions of "protected speech" and "campaign finance laws". Having looked both up, I still fail to see your point. How does our regulation of a candidate's fundraising indicate extreme/nonsensical regulation of protected speech?

Compared to Europe, we don't have any hate speech laws that risk make criminals out of people because of public whim. I will not scoff at that though, because hate speech is only a necessary evil. Do you real feel the range of opinions you can express here is less than what you could express in your average European country?

I think the original definition of protected speech, namely that is inalienable, is the only sane one. How flawed the implementation of that definition is (and truthfully it was flawed from the start) is definitely a problem of course. Any other guarantee would be worthless because very few people will suffer somebody spewing what they view as or want to be lies if they don't have to.
Interesting question. No-SQL doesn't mean non-relational. DynamoDB is a relational database. It's up to you on how you design the table to accommodate your relations.
