Not going to happen. It almost happened around 2007, when Sun's Jonathan Schwartz announced it on his blog. Then Apple conceded the development, sticked with HFS+ for another decade, only to eventually roll out APFS.

Facebook was used to illegally infuence elections in Uk and break spending rules and because of their closed nature, nobody realised untill a whistleblower stepped forwards. Its a massive problem, and maybe we would not have Brexit without it.

A TV ad, by comparison, is aired publically and you can see it and ask who paid for it.
Photoshop has a whole industry around teaching how to use it.

They have photoshop conferences, books and magazines. Not something you expect for a piece of software that’s intuitive.
So you don't want independent researcher to verify if you are targeting ads when you have proved from time to time Facebook is not trustworthy with our data?

And the link you shared doesn't have any information how ads are targeted. Stop using Privacy as a PR stunt. I trust those researcher with my data than facebook.
Ataris could load bootable apps; mostly games; from tape, too. I had one; it was glitchy as hell, but oh how my early high school self rejoiced when it worked.
Even though I live in the fifth most round country in the world, I immediately guessed it was about skin color. I think lack of tipping and prejudice often come together. I observe the same thing here. Waiters with eastern accent get rude treatment.
Love gimp, but what has come to drive me nuts about using it is that the icons are now all flat and colorless. It seriously slows down my workflow having to hover over each tool for a few seconds to find out what it actually does.

And this comes from somebody who has used the software pretty consistently for 20 years (Fark.com photoshop contests from my teens, woo!).

Maybe this is just a mac thing, though?

Anyway: congrats on 25 years, GIMP team! Your tool is a joy, and your work is hugely appreciated by me! Great job!

Not all that recently anymore – it was added 20 years ago in Python 2.0:

Is this a problem your clients pay you to solve?

There's nothing wrong with your interest. And maybe there is a niche there. But are your current clients in that niche?

Good luck.
This post glosses over the whole "getting the data onto the record" process, which may not be the novel bit here but is definitely interesting as a reader.

I wear a mask everywhere I go but I don’t label anti-mask people as immediately illogical. Your position seems to assume that mask wearing has 0% risk so therefore if it is 1% helpful, just do it. Is that assumption based in logic? There is some evidence that cloth masks specifically don’t help much and can actually hurt:

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/04/150422121724.h...

Dr. Fauci himself at the beginning of the conflict said not to wear masks. Then he admitted he was lying to prevent a run on masks. Is it any wonder people are skeptical or at least confused?
Indeed, although that seems irrelevant for the mentioned use case. After all, why would the client request an image before it's uploaded. It seems like a straight forward "server side upload->generate url and send it to client->client requests image" flow. It's perfectly covered by the consistency provided.

As a glimpse of the future, it’s not particularly encouraging.

For me, JS needs only a handful of things doubling down on its existing nature. Literals for symbols, sets and maps would be a great start.

If we’re getting fancy, persistent / immutable data structures would be fantastic, especially given how modern js is written.

A better standard library would be the cherry on top.

It's perfect. It's a funky little tool you only take out of the box when you need it for a specific purpose. You use it (with vigor and some cussing because it fights back); get your job done, and shove it back into the box of shame, until the next time you need it. You might love what it does for you but you rarely celebrate the tool itself, preferring instead to delight in the faint tinge of shame.

"GIMP" is the perfect name for this software.
I was going to say, refusing to host on your own platform something you find objectionable is not in any way an infringement on speech, but forcing someone to host it tramples all over free speech.
I'm not sure, to be honest. I think GDPR would grant you access to the personal data the service holds of you, but AFAIK they have no obligation to keep the data, so they could have previously removed it (?).

There must be a provision for that I guess, since otherwise companies could potentially react to GDPR requests of access by nuking all the information they hold about that user and then replying they've got nothing, which would be a major hole. But I honestly don't know.

Ask HN: Why YouTube suggestions are better when I am logged off?
I watched a few videos on youtube without being logged in, and to my surprise, suggested videos were much more interesting. When logged in, I mainly get more or less related videos I already watched or videos with a lot of views.

What are your thoughts on that?
The obvious downside to this is that if a piano you encounter isn't the right size you won't be able to play it. Venues will have to buy not 1, but 3 Steinway grands, if they want any player to be able to play.

I do like the auto expire feature idea. (h/t StavrosK, pastery.net) I skimmed your glsnip project and didn't spot that feature.

You just use ordinary copy on one device and then ordinary paste on the other.

https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/copy-and-paste-betw...

“To use Universal Clipboard, your devices must meet Continuity system requirements. They must also have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Handoff turned on in System Preferences (on your Mac) and in Settings (on your iOS and iPadOS devices). You must be signed in with the same Apple ID on all your devices”

System requirements more or less means “hardware is new enough” (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204689; I think the technical reason is that it requires a specific Bluetooth version and macOS/iOS version)

Apple doesn’t say it, but I think the devices also must be on the same WiFi network and within Bluetooth range of each other.

Edit: as a consequence, if you lend your iPad to somebody for a few minutes while working on stuff you don’t want them to know about, log out of your Apple account. Without it, they can paste whatever happens to be on your clipboard.

Conversely, if you borrow someone else’s phone, don’t copy any secrets to the clipboard, even if you later replace that by something innocuous.
> Your office can be place where you still have the option to work uninterrupted but also get the benefits of face-to-face interaction, casual exposure to work ideas, better meetings, having all the equipment you need, separating work and personal life.

It /can/ be, if your company isn't in the "Because Google Did It", cost savings masquerading and spun as "collaborative" open office plan cult.

I like being at an office for face to face things, but as a developer I need uninterrupted time and the "new fad" offices don't provide it.

But your point is well taken; I'm fortunate enough that my job can afford me a house that's too big for me to live in, (mind, I have also decided to live not "in the city", where things are actually affordable) so I have a complete room as a home-office, with a restroom, and whatever supplies I need.

But that's also by choice; I CHOSE to give up being near a lot of restaurants and offices and short commutes, so that I could have this.

Why not? If you consider there are 3 main desktop OSes, these are Windows, macOS, and Linux. MacOS and Linux already work on ARM64.

A lot of the stress associated with IIT JEE stems from aggressive fear based propaganda by coaching classes. Things were much more laid back in the 90s, pre-Kota mania. Fear sells. They make it sound as though if you are not in an IIT, your life will be a flaming wreck.

This is far from the case, even if you confine yourself to the tech sector.
Completely disagree: the rights of individual authors should trump the rights of platforms, otherwise we will find ourselves in a situation where free-speech only applies to Facebook, Google and assorted media companies.

It is incorrect to conflate "hosting" with "speech", it is already obvious that being hosted on YouTube is not an endorsement by Alphabet corporation.

Christ. It did keep up. Every new rails release just makes it better and better. Rails isn’t popular anymore because people followed the swan song of language isomorphism overlooking JavaScript’s deficiencies. NodeJS improved by... adding Rails features.

It’s amazing that people think there’s more to this story. It was Node that couldn’t keep up with Rails. No one cares cuz they didn’t want to learn ruby.

The original Tinkerboard came out with much fanfare, then landed with a thud as it became apparent it was more of a "throw it at a wall and see if it sticks" SBC product.

I'll wait and see if this is any different.
Yes, they're a good mix of Pratchett content and well written popular science coverage of concepts.

As well as the science ones there a Folklore of Discworld which could easily have been a throwaway novelty but was a great unsight into the real folklore that Pratchett references and lampoons.

I’m from a Republican family in a culturally conservative part of the upper Midwest. It’s disappointing to see the national level Republican Party so diminished as to be seemingly nihilistic.

Plenty of companies have a mix of Mac and Windows.

The last company I worked for had a mix of Windows & Mac devices, and everyone got the office suite on it (including Outlook).

Additionally, my current company is a small business that runs on Windows computers and the office suite, however I have installed Outlook on my personal Mac as a single licenced user can install it on 5 devices, and use it for answering work emails from home (I've also got it on my iPad and phone - it works great).
I had the same thought.

I love Git Lab and strongly believe it should be the default home if open source. It seems wrong to me that a proprietary product (GitHub) is where open source lives.

That said, I also just GitHub because discoverability for a new project is terrible on GitLab because of the network effect. Even contributions, where people are more motivated to find and contribute, will drop 10x by moving to Git Lab. It sucks, but we have a hard chicken and egg problem here and I don't know how we fix it.

It almost seems easier to convince Microsoft to open source GitHub than to convince millions of people to migrate in unison.
It could have been GINP, as in GINP Is Not Photoshop.

Agreed , although I give them the benefits of doubt because modern internet can make far more web pages than Google could keep up with indexing. Especially after the Smartphone took off and Internet seems to be exploding with Content Farm.
I have a Google account that is associated with an email address at my own domain. When I was in the EU in summer 2019 (I'm American), their AI decided it didn't likWrye my new location. It also kindly emailed me, asking me to verify that this "suspicious sign-in attempt" was actually me. Which, of course, required me to sign in. I will leave you to guess whether the token in the url from the email was sufficient proof that it really was me, or whether this sign-in was also flagged, generating a new email, etc.
Ask HN: What are some of the most useful Python packages?
Dear HN'ers,

I am a newbie to python, and i would like to know what are the most useful python packages which you find yourself relying on / using often and packages which are a delight that they exist.

I would also like to know the packages / methods which you use to profile your python programs / debug them.

Many thanks in advance for sharing your suggestions!
This post consists of a non-lawyer giving legal hot takes without sources or support. Many of his points defy both the law and common sense. Legally, nothing prevents a company from contracting away their rights, for example, so the prospect of users not being able to enforce the terms of service against a provider is a complete fabrication.
That would take a long time and can’t be realistically predicted (even if it could, the prediction would be months). Management will never ok a development effort whose schedule isn’t predicted as more than a few weeks (ESPECIALLY in fin tech).
Use arrays of 1 to avoid using '.' and '&'. So if you have a structure, say:

struct foo { int a, b; };

A function that works on the structure looks like this, you use '->':

void pr(struct foo *n) { printf("%d %d\n", n->a, n->b); }

But when you make an instance of this structure, you have to use this different syntax:

struct foo p;
p.a = 1; // Yuck!
pr(&p); // Bad!

But you can do this instead:

struct foo p[1];
p->a = 1; // Very nice..
pr(p); // Yes!

I hate USB-C with a passion -- the spec is a shitshow, some cables will catch on fire if used for PD, the connectors can be snapped off the PCB, as have happened to me pretty frequently, and the plugs are regularly made too damn long and are nice cantilevers. Everything is wrong about its design and ruggedness for consumer use.

Consumer electronics needs to live upto higher standards than even military. One should be able to plug their phone into an external battery, shove the entire mess in their pocket, and go skiing. That's what consumer electronics should live upto. The cable housing should be supported snugly and firmly by the housing of the device, like one would do on a BNC connector, but on a smaller scale. The PCB shouldn't be taking all the torquing forces, as is currently the case.
It coincided also with several other things such as mass access do information, literacy increase. What you mention is definitely a spurious correlation such as money spent on pets vs death by stairs.

What is a "round country"?
"A study then in 1919"

That alone is almost enough to discount it right there.

Even studies done only 50 years ago are often discounted by scientists today because of their poor quality and lack of rigor compared to today's studies. A study done 100 years ago is likely to be even worse.

But even were it not, we have to ask:

- What study?

- Was it published in a reputable peer-reviewed journal?

- How large was the study?

- Was it double-blind?

- Were the results statistically significant?

When even very recent studies are mentioned on HN, they're often torn apart for not having met one or more of these and other criteria.

Yet at other times mere mention of "a study", some anonymous study done 100 years ago, published who knows where, of completely unknown quality is supposed to be given credence just because it's "a study"?
This is a fallacious argument often brought up in this discussion.

It's not about forcing someone. It's about forcing mega-corporations that provide what could be termed essential infrastructure to modern life.

There is a lot of precedent. Banks, electricity companies, railway operators, ... cannot arbitrarily refuse to serve customers. I see nothing immoral and fully support extending this to big tech (while not suppressing competition of course, i.e. it should only affect companies once they reach a certain size).
Most laptops released in the past decade will at least match the rpi4's performance, with better GPU drivers to boot. And they can come close to the power consumption of a pi, especially the somewhat newer ones.

A quick google shows reports of those HP SFF systems idling at between 3-10 watts, depending on how old they are. The Pi4 uses about 3 watts at idle. This matches my experience with that vintage of CPU.

They will use more power when active, but with better performance per watt, optimistically using less power for a give unit of work.
Individual authors have no constitutional right to have their views published on platforms privately owned by others, so there is no right they have which could trump the rights of platforms. In order for there to be a contest of rights here, a constitutional amendment would be needed to grant the right to have one's views promulgated on private platforms.
I've always seen the value of signatures as a ceremony first, not as a (serious) method of authentication. As an example, when have you last seen a merchant compare your signature to that on your credit card?

Conduct implying intent, together with a hand-written signature, can go a very long way in practice.

The value of these services to me accordingly seems to be in their accuracy of replicating the ceremony, not in trying to compete with cryptographic signatures.

Short answer is no because we’re talking about asymptotic behavior and n dominates log n.

Long answer is yes because O notation is commonly written this way to be more illustrative of what’s happening in an algorithm and that were smushing to algorithms together.

If you can be more precise then feel free to write it down. For example O notation hides a constant factor but if you happen to actually know it exactly you might see O(7n) in the wild.

Well moving the selection is the 3rd thing you can do, what you meant probably is moving the content of the selection. It's controlled by 3 buttons on top of the tools window, and this plus a few other things are worth spending a bit time to learn the basic concepts.
