In GIMP, selection works in a way that runs counter to the predominant user interface paradigm. A selection isn't an object that the user can pick up for direct manipulation. Rather, it's a delimited region of the image which confines the effects of editing. Thus, you can't just select a rectangle (or whatever) and then drag it to move the pixels. So yes, that will perplex the average user. Scratch that, probably every user. In Gimp, the move tool selects the entire layer which contains the pixels that you're pointing to, and moves that. The selection "cross-cuts" through layers. So that is to say, you can make a selection in one layer (say by picking out a shape), and then switch to another layer where that original selection is still in effect and delimits the edit operations.

The way you move pixels in GIMP, though it doesn't conform to certain well-established user interface conventions, is learnable (and even discoverable). By the time you used it half a dozen times, you should have picked it up on it.

The way you're evaluating these programs is the equivalent of comparing cars by kicking their tires, slamming the door, and honking the horn.

> I didn't know telling my own experience counted as trolling.

Exact words: "Compare it to Photoshop which does more or less the same things but anyone can naturally pick up and use."

That doesn't at all look like telling one's own experience.

Also, your experience consists of evaluating use cases from Microsoft Paint on advanced image editing tools, then it's not relevant enough.

Your comment amounts to what HN calls "shallow dismissal".
"move fast and break things" was Facebook's internal engineering motto when I started working there, but it was later (~2016) changed to "move fast and be bold"). The new motto is really just saying what the old motto meant but in a less hyperbolic way.

Israeli scientist claims to ‘reverse’ aging in blood cells
I was genuinely interested in Guix and the whole Guile ecosystem, until I realized that it is full of hateful and toxic politics. Political activists like Andy Wingo will attack people with master suppression techniques and horrible mind games to push his ideology. I would rather use free software where the technology is in focus and not some extreme liberal viewpoints.
No, the more accurate headline would be the one that is currently in place (that the author is claiming that he is owed royalties).

As it stands, the irrefutable evidence from the US Copyright Office is that these novelizations were works-for-hire, so ADF would never have been owed any royalties, let alone for the past 4 years, unless he had a non-standard WFH agreement which he has thus far failed to produce.
It says “no credit card required.” Can they stop people from making multiple accounts and getting unlimited certificates?
They can't sell the keys since they don't have them.

NSA could still mount an attack by asking the CA to register NSA's certs as valid, and tamper the victim's network connection. What makes certs secure is our trust in certificate authorities.

Ah, good suggestion! Let me look at what I can get from their API
Yeah, this doesn't seem right to me. I don't think my family consumes content by the tech-savvy - they come for the content by friends and family members, and get sucked in via the rest of the stuff Facebook throws at them via the feed.

Nowhere in that pipeline do "tech-savvy users with a solid ad-blocker", "who on the whole have a decent understanding of the mechanisms used to influence people" come into play - unless you're counting Russian agencies and others who are explicitly using it for propaganda (not to be confused with people who like-and-reshare David Icke nonsense.)
Realistically, there seems to be only two ways you could solve this: built-in VCS support in the software used to edit these files or exporting them to line-based text and dealing with them like we currently do. Building support for millions of formats (and their countless variants when created by different software and even versions of the same software) into the VCS system itself I strongly suspect would be futile. The VCS would end up much bigger and more complex than the OS.
Not sure about Walmart in general, but this is a known thing for big box black friday electronics. These items will typically have different SKUs than their equivalent normal priced electronics and often have at the minimum reduced feature sets, like fewer HDMI ports, anything really that can get the BOM lowered is likely to be removed from the electronics. I haven't heard if they go as far as to use SoC with known issues, but certainly I can see them getting binned chips that fall with "acceptable" parameters, where acceptable is quite low.
I agree in this case, because it should be "Forth-like language" rather than just "Forth"
Thanks a tonne
Thank you for the link. The study definitely suggest a best-case scenario is viable. I do however think that the sample population of 183 subjects is too small to support the conclusion in the paper. The study only got a single sample from the majority of the participants andI couldn't find any indication of how many subjects from each location participated (or which locations were included outside of California), which makes me think it might not be a representative population used

I also noted that 40 of the participants were excluded because they had no PCR test done to confirm covid and no antibodies were found in the assay. This is in my opinion a major flaw, as the subjects could have been infected, but had no antibodies left, when the blood sample was taken

Finally seven of the 18 authors declare competing interests, which might have affected the research

Getting back to your post itself, I agree that you can't measure immunity for a longer period than the virus has been around, but that also means you can't say that there will only be a need for one round of vaccines, which was what I was disagreeing with

It might very well turn out, that you gain permanent immunity for a specific strain off the virus, but unfortunately that immunity also introduces selective pressure. Whether the virus is able to mutate in a way that bypass existing antibodies in a subject is obviously still an unknown, but we have seen that it's able to jump to other species like mink, which caused the emergence of the Cluster-5 variant

Since the virus is able to use other species as a reservoir and selective pressure is being introduced, I think it's reasonable to prepare for a scenario, where a vaccine won't be a permanent fix
Nobody knew what the long term effects were, but we knew that there was uncertainty about them. Informed consent doesn't require perfect information. Just the best possible information, and a fair appraisal of uncertainty.
If that's all the case, then, where's the proof? It might be "easy to prove," but it's probably not an "I can prove this trivially, on the fly" type of task.
They will never be successful with me. As soon as I see a pre-roll ad on Twitch I close the tab. Then I search for how to get around it and typically update uBlock Origin. Recently this happened regularly for about 2 weeks and then it stopped.

If they ever succeed I’ll just go elsewhere. I’m not spending one minute of my time getting brainwashed by ads.

I’ve also stopped Chrome from auto updating in anticipation of Google enforcing Manifest v3, which will cause uBlock Origin to break. That should give me enough time to figure out my next move.

This is a fun game for me :)
I definitely do. It takes some reading the docs and perhaps asking people how to do it, but you can have some environment defining files a folder of any project and use GNU Guix to enter a reproducible environment. I cannot yet do that for all the things, where I would like to do it, because I often miss a package or get an error when trying to import it from other package repositories like PyPI and am not able to solve these without help from the mailing list. People on the mailing list are very helpful though.

Sometimes a good way to do something on the command line is missing, but the stuff that is there has a great CLI interface, in my opinion. One of my favorites is the time machine.

So far, I live most of the life in China, IMHO, the root of our previous poverty is arrogance and one man in power (see Mao's policy which had led nation wide famine just because he want to surpass US in a short time), and that left us fall behind the world economically. And the latter so-called "lifted out of poverty" (a oftenly used propaganda tune in Chinese spokesmen to refute others' human rights infringement blame) is nothing but opening up the nation and letting our hardworking people to make products for the world (mostly in downstream application wise products, even nowadays, you see huge Chinese tech companies all cannot live w/o Github, btw, that's why government doesn't block github). Which is seen by me just recovering those years we had losing in politics and culture revolution.
Why would you necessarily buy a domain? I use lots of free domains in .tk and .cf, they work great.

My statement is that the Biden administration doesn't get to appropriate funds, Congress does. And if we're looking for an oracle to tell us precisely how the coming Congress will appropriate those funds, we have two example bills right in front of us that we can look at to tell us in detail what the priorities of a Democratically-controlled and Republican-controlled Congress will probably look like.

It's because people often value their time more than money.

Free services win because everyone can start using it and depending on it in 5 minutes, instead of having to pay for and download a comparable product, or worse, maintain an OSS alternative on a home server. The only time a consumer chooses to pay for something is when it's as entrenched into their minds as MS Office is, or when their employer/school demands it (also MS Office).

HP's ink is so successful since you can now just have it show up at your door when you're low on ink instead of having to make a trip to best buy. The extortionate price of unit-sold cartridges is only extra motivation.

And Tesla is only big because they have an appealing product; if other car manufacturers could offer the same (EV) range, software experience, and minimalistic design, they'd blow Tesla out of the water with superior service and build quality.

Now this cheap Wi-Fi router isn't something people are buying because it's comparatively better or offers some features, it's just a cheap Chinese wifi router that some corporate Wal-Mart manager decided to stock since it would be high-margin and, as far as they know, offered basic wifi functionality. Your argument would work for any other (high end) router like Nest WiFi, Netgear, etc.
Seeing a lot of criticism on this thread, but honestly as a founder the best stack for your company is the one you know. Whether you use Kubernetes/Terraform or manually rsync a bunch of files to a server under your desk – do whatever works for you.
> I cannot speak to these specific villages, but the amount of people lifted out of poverty in China in the last 50 years is probably one of the greatest achievements in human history

And you forget to say that the amount of people verged into absolute poverty by CPC is also the biggest shame of human history.

Nowhere else in history few hundred million people verge forcibly degraded back into stone age out of somewhat moderately industrialised economy.

Chinese people have nothing to thank communists for. Any opinion differing from this is preposterous.
Here is a maintained list of all known, public ACME endpoints: https://docs.https.dev/list-of-acme-servers

In Caddy 2.3, Caddy [1] will default to both Let's Encrypt and ZeroSSL [2]. If it can't get a cert from one, it will try the other. You can configure more too, including self-signed certs, as a last fallback for example. Caddy will be the first web server and ACME client to support multi-issuer fallback. (Pre-releases coming soon, or you can build from source and try it today.)

ZeroSSL's website is being updated to clarify that certs are free and unlimited through ACME. You can even view them in your ZeroSSL dashboard.

I can't speak for South Africa, but here in Australia if you have old equipment you get real good at fixing it yourself because you can't just overnight parts to your door like Reed does, you have to trawl through Ebay looking for the part and someone who will ship it around the world at a reasonable price.

I would guess that people just don't care enough about getting rid of the common cold. If you're in the vaccine making business, you might as well try and cure some diseases that are killing people. There's more than enough work there already. Also more money...
I'd be satisfied with that if I was a reviewer in the code review. I'd want that (and the proofs) explicitly mentioned in the comment, or at the very least in the commit message.

At first glance the example seems contrived to me. Assuming that the code is deterministic, wouldn't it be trivial to measure the memory requirement for a particular input?
This headline makes no sense. A paid newsletter won't be enough money for most writers for the same reason that paid concert tickets aren't enough money for most musicians, paid labor isn't enough money for most plumbers, and paid physical goods aren't enough money for most merchants. You have to have something people want enough that they'll pay you the money you need. Anyone can put his hat out, but putting your hat out doesn't mean people are going to throw money in it.

No, the problem is not really a prisoner's dilemma here. Rather, there's a philosophical difference between two parts of the community. Many people don't want to do work for large companies for free, and dislike their work being used without compensation. So, they license it under copyleft licenses. Others (like me) don't really care and mostly write stuff because it's fun and interesting. We publish things under permissive licenses. Even were GPL the standard, I'd probably still use permissive licenses because I don't care where the code is used.
Another "if" I'm often wondering is about the size of the Earth. Had we shown up on something the size of the Moon or Ganymede, the amount of resources we would have had at our disposal would have been a lot smaller. We would probably have figured that we weren't the center of the Solar system much sooner though.

On the other hand if an intelligent species spawns on a much larger planet they can progress much longer before depleting their resources.
The quote at the end of the page is suggestive, both for its content and its authorship:

> “I don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can’t take it violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something that they can’t stop.” – F.A. Hayek 1984
Does it work by pulling the lower jaw forward?
I guess it must be weird to you that people volunteer free labor and money for anything. People give free money to charity. Lawyers give free time to various causes. People give free stuff to Goodwill, a for profit company, and to Salvation Army (NPO). The volunteer to clean parks even though they're already paying taxes that are suppose to cover that. They give gifts to neighbors. There's nothing wrong with giving.

My open source is my way of volunteering to make the world a better place. Whether some for profit company uses it is irrelevant to me. Plenty of companies (Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, ...) give back way more than they take and even though I have about 100-160 original repos on github my free output pales in comparison to the amount of stuff I take for free. Nintendo might give less today but lead by example and that might change. Though if it never changes it still doesn't bother me in the least.
> Jokes aside, I think you're underselling how complex Kubernetes is and overselling how complex logging, monitoring, process management, et al are. You don't get any of those things with kubernetes "out of the box" unless you've got an ops team or someone's got a year plus experience running one cloud provider's version.

I'm pretty sure cloud providers give you logging and monitoring out of the box (as well as a bunch of other stuff) and Kubernetes itself is a process manager with its own "SSH" (kubectl exec) and so on. I'm not wed to Kubernetes either--you could use ECS/Fargate or whatever. But to do something comparable in an EC2 environment requires a fair amount of experience just to get to get the basic things that Kubernetes (or ECS) gives you out of the box. Of course, if you're well-versed in VMs already then I don't think you'll get much value out of a container solution for simple workloads, but if you're not familiar then I think container solutions are easier. But again, I might be biased by my experience.

Read the license, calculate the reward (40K first place), the time it takes, and then guess what Jane street pays its average data scientist (Hint more than 300K a year).

Here is a game theory problem, given you may be brilliant and think you can succeed - you handover something amazing to Jane street and give it to them on a silver platter. They probably will hire you too.

I have a better offer: respond to this message if you solve it and don't share it with Jane street and I will give you 100K & 10% of profits until you die. Given Due-dilly, & customary formalities. This is a Serious offer.

Corruption. Individual journalists may not have the active intent to do harm with every editorial decision, but there is no way the pattern of things that are “amplified” or “remembered” vs “forgotten” is an accident.
Generally speaking you can choose either power efficiency or a wide bus, but rarely both. If you want a crappy underpowered m.2 slot, probably Intel Atom is the cheapest route.

High performance ARM with m.2 PCI, not sure, but guessing if it's around it probably isn't cheap
For many worksloads the AWS Graviton 2 is already competitive. ARM currently points to a roadmap of 30% Performance Improvement YoY. That is inclusive of Process Node Improvements. I would not be suspired if Amazon reveals Graviton 3 in re:Invent 2020, and Graviton 4 next year with 5nm.

Many of these R&D will filter through to other ARM IPs. So it is perfectly reasonable to expect it would be available to Desktop as well. The problem is no one has the incentive to push ARM on Windows against Intel at its home turf.

there's this false notion that users hate ads. that's why they use ad-blockers. people hate intrusive ads. I do. I don't like auto-playing video. dynamically loaded ads. don't like ads that track me. brand ads i.e banner ads, that're just a simple picture are acceptable to me - like the ones we used to have in paper newspapers. creatives worked on those. now it's just random shit.
Messenger is the best thing facebook has done imo. Since facebook is like a driver's license atm, you can be certain other people use it and having a chat client tied to it is very nice to have.

I know we all like to rip on them but at least it's better than WhatsApp or discord where someone has to actively create and account and learn the platform before using it.

Be aware that a lot of these ‘permanent changes’ are wishful thinking by people who want to shape the way they work.
