PDF is often called "electronic paper", meaning its primary use, typesetting documents on screen and paper alike.

I'd rather view that PDF is an electronic clay tablet. You can put any text or image on it, but once it's formed, you better not try to alter it, lest you break it.
> That's harm reduction.

More technically, that's eugenics.

After having flirted with that practice in the last century, I thought we'd decided that it was a bad idea. But I guess ideas are hard to kill.
But Oracle Linux has a different principle really, no? I never think of Oracle and think "Making the paid software free".

For what it's worth, Preview is a relatively thin shell around Apple's own PDFKit:

Whether that could itself be open-sourced is an interesting question. (My concern would be that parts of it might be covered by Adobe NDAs.)

Playing games, I can't say that I've found this to be true. I notice I lose from people that I otherwise wouldn't lose from when I:

- am tired,

- have very cold hands,

- or just used gross motor skills (cycling for example).

The effect of each of these is similar to not playing for a few months. You don't unlearn it so you're not like a newb, but your playing is hampered in some way. If my hands were unaffected by cold then this shouldn't have an effect.
RHEL source RPMs can be downloaded from http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise. According to your link, CentOS doesn't use the source RPMs since 7 but uses git repos instead. I don't know where the git repos are located, however, or if it is still possible to build the whole OS from just the SRPMs.
If PDF had an "accident", and someone was able to do to it what Steve Jobs did to Flash, I would be very happy.
Both of those projects were part of MoCo, not MoFo, and so your donations would not have gone to them either.

Rust GUI will certainly take off with a solid text renderer.
Where can we find the technical details of your monitor? Is there a GHE project or similar somewhere? The data from such a project will almost certainly be invaluable, and if it can be replicated elsewhere (hopefully cheaply) imagine the data that could be generated and used to stop bad actors.

My heart goes out to your daughter, you, and your family.
I had to play B + N over the board early in my career, so it's definitely YMMV. It takes very little study: For B + N knowing that you mate in the corner that matches the color of the bishop, and that the knight needs to 'lead' in the effort to corral the king is all you really need to know. A half day of practice would cement it, I suspect.
Yes, and the 2 parties have very different motivates.
RHEL and its derivatives are the only linux distribution which maintains binary compatibility over 10+ years while getting not only security updates but feature additions when possible.

This is something I don't think the wider community understands, nor do they understand the incredible amount of work it takes to back-port major kernel/etc features while maintaining a stable kernel ABI as well as userspace ABI. Every single other distribution stops providing feature updates within a year or two. So LTS, really means "old with a few security updates" while RHEL means, will run efficiently on your hardware (including newer than the distro) with the same binary drivers and packages from 3rd party sources for the entire lifespan.

AKA, its more a windows model than a traditional linux distro in that it allows hardware vendors to ship binary drivers, and software vendors to ship binary packages. That is a huge part of why its the most commonly supported distro for engineering tool chains, and a long list of other commercial hardware and software.
OPs method would allow for remoting into your home network without port forwarding, since home network would establish a connection to the 'bounce' node, which would facilitate communication between the 3rd WG client
Chess is not solved, unlike some other games. There may well be a best opening for each player which ensures some result no matter what your opponent plays. However nobody knows it (including all the wrong variations your opponent can play), so it doesn't matter.
Sure, but a precondition itself doesn't guarantee anything. You still need to pony up the money for actual aufits.
Sure, I mean it is increasingly apparent that Bitcoin has, as they say these days, "said the quiet part out loud" with respect to what kinds of motives really drive the stock market, and what signals its participants actually respond to. "Gainz" are swallowing "value" everywhere. Doesn't hurt that the crypto casino is open 24/7 as well.

The difference with stocks, however, is that stocks don't make a big show of pretending to be decentralized. Everyone knows and acknowledges that a relative handful of well-connected actors have enough leverage to wash everyone else out of TSLA if they so chose, but for the Bitcoin cultists it's anathema to even suggest the same inexorably centralizing forces are at work. A lot of collective effort is spent on propping up the "decentralization" meme (and its accomplice, the "anonymity" meme), effort which ironically makes the proponents value their Bitcoin all the more; they want to realize a return on that work.
“By all accounts, the PDF is completely valid and uncorrupted at this point.”

Is it? I don’t see any accounts showing this to be a fact.

This is almost certainly it. I've seen similar issues with copy/paste from poorly constructed PDFs, often ones generated by "print to PDF" features.
That was my experience setting up a WireGuard connection to my home network about 12 months ago. It was really difficult to get a straightforward explanation of how to set things up. For example, I had (as mentioned above) dynamic DNS set to update from my home router with port forwarding setup to a home Linux server (Rpi actually).

This isn't as easy as A <=> B, but it is probably a common enough use-case. It was really hard to figure out what I needed to put in my wg.conf files. But once I got it, it was really solid.

Is there something like "WireGuard in anger" or even something like the GitHub introduction to Git for WireGuard? It seems like it would be very helpful.
It's a launchd namespace. It's not meant to be secure in the same way a container would be, but it could be used for something.
The trouble is the PDF specification is vague and ambiguous in a number of areas. This has resulted in a lot of ill formed documents. If you are going to write a PDF reader then you are going to have to accept those documents and not corrupt them.

Even if ABBY does have a bug and fixes it then people will still have a bunch of older documents they will want to read.
This complaint (and all anti-trust) simply comes down to how the legal body defines the market and to what extent Google dominates said market, no? It'll be interesting to watch this work through the system.

I’m aware it’s the company’s lifetime (unless my expiration date comes up first), and I act accordingly with nightly backups of all mail.

It’s really no different than Google, where a single bad comment somewhere in their vast eco system can end up getting your account banned.

In my case I try to stay as far away from Google as I can with my everyday services. I’m also well aware that chances are extremely high that any email I send will make its way to Googles servers.

The “easy” solution would be to self host, and I do that to some extent, but as I work with system administration I really don’t want/need another day job. I’m actively looking for relatively secure, privacy aware and affordable cloud solutions for everyday use. I wrote affordable because nothing is free.
Yes, you setup the wireguard configuration to connect to the peer using the domain name and once connected, the network assigns a local IP for the connected peer that is valid on the natted network. I use this kind of setup to access my NAS system when I am traveling or working away from home.
So I guess the question is what made KaiOS able to succeed instead of fail if we're saying the problems FirefoxOS faced weren't execution? Was it simply different timing and now more operators are willing to partner?

Google Finance actually used to have a pretty good API. My first iOS app was a client to that API, I was pretty bummed when they shut it down. I'm not surprised that it hardly gets updates though -- it was neglected back then as well.

Like it’s super weird that they felt the need to be like “if you give someone your email address they might put together that you likely know the password to access your email.”
The issue is that you can't prove a negative, not even the scientific method can achieve this. So you can prove harm, or benefits, but you can't prove an absence of harm.

So while the scientific method is fine, applying it without an abundance of caution commensurate to the potential negative impacts leads to poor outcomes in the long run.
That's fair, and I honestly didn't enjoy posting the headline here, but as far as I know I have to use the original title? And the original title is from a personal blog where we talk about annoying things. We're not a professional tech blog, or a bug tracker, or… something other than our own little thing. I choose that headline not to be clickbait, but "sensationalist" is probably true because I'm personally really, really angry about this issue. I wanted to do my usual "scan all my documents for the month" routine 30 minutes before going to bed, and instead it turned into a two hour debugging session. And I can't even use my normal workflow now, possibly until March. I find it completely unacceptable that Apple would break Preview that way again. It's not even the first time. Just thinking about it now gets me going again. That's why the headline sounds like it sounds. I would have no problem at all if it was modified here, and as I said – your assessment is absolutely fair.
AI Just Controlled a Military Plane for the First Time Ever
I will never forgive Netflix for letting the Scholar's Mate out of the bag. You should learn that from a parent, aunt, or uncle. It is an initiation.
So this is work in the pipeline, and there's a bunch more polishing that's needed, but I will definitely be writing more about it soon, and I hope that will answer your questions.

But I'll give a brief teaser here anyway. The new spline is a hybrid between Spiro and cubic Béziers, with (I hope) the best features of both. Spiro is good for smooth curves but not so good when you need to crank up the tension. Béziers, by contrast, can do tension just fine, but aren't very smooth (one technical manifestation is that curvature maxima tend to happen near the segment endpoints, but rarely on them, especially for S-shaped curves).

Something that's particularly difficult for Béziers is a smooth transition from a straight line segment into a curve, which is important for U-shaped letters. Unless you take special care, the curvature jumps right up to some nonzero value at the join point. But with the new spline, it's continuous by default, unless you explicitly drag the control handles to make it not so.

It's difficult for people to learn to draw well with cubic Béziers, but obviously people climb that learning curve (so to speak) and get great results. Even so, I wonder if there's a bit of Stockholm syndrome, of being attached to that way of working just because of the amount of pain that's gone into the process of learning it.
This is really cool. And cute.
That takes me back. Yes, we could not use the UEK so we tried using the RHCK. But we were still running into issues trying to debug kmods that we weren't running into on CentOS. I guess we weren't in the target market there for Oracle. It left me with a negative impression that maybe is unwarranted, but I've had plenty of other bones to pick with Oracle so I would be very cautious in depending on them for a platform.

See Java as an example. OpenJDK (and IBM/RHEL, ironically) is the only thing keeping that from turning into a bigger support trash fire.
Hacker Reveals Solarwinds Update Server was secured with password solarwinds123
I have learned to be scared of my MacBook. Seemingly safe behavior can cause permanent damage. It does completely unexpected things, apparently by design.

I do not put my pictures in the ~/Pictures directory for fear of what the newest app will do to “improve” them for me. I fully expect it to apply lossy compression to my files without asking. This is after Photos or whatever it was called at the time mangled the dates on a bunch of my vacation photos to 10 years before the actual trip.

Oh and have fun when your photos are automatically uploaded to iCloud to save space locally then silently deleted from iCloud to... save space? My sister lost her first year of baby pictures to that one.

Same with ~/Music after iTunes wiped out a bunch of carefully curated metadata. Yes, I did want that album art.

I fat-fingered some key combination in Messages recently and got a prompt confirming I wanted to delete the entire conversation history. I consider myself lucky it bothered to ask.

I can add “view a PDF” to the list of things likely to leave me holding the bag.
I sincerely hope not. The lawsuits will fly if Bezos awards Blue Origin launch contracts.
The National Society of Professional Engineers has managed to claim "Professional Engineer", "PE", and "EIT". They also have claim over "engineer" when used as self-promotion as a business or an independent contractor. However, they weren't able to have the claim on it as a job title stick. So, assuming you don't have PE quals: your consulting firm could not be gwerbret Engineering. Your job title at Microfang could be Software Development Engineer.
You're missing my point.

I have to admit, about the only thing that's really looked appealing to me as far as VR goes is Tabletop Simulator. The concept seems really cool. I haven't tried it, but looking at it, my guess in reality it's a bit awkward to use and probably ends up being more frustrating than fun.

Current VR just seems not quite immersive enough to feel real or worth using for most things but slightly too immersive so that it ends up being unnerving after a while.

The lack of tactile stimulation doesn't help either. I think if they could come up with some kind of gloves that could simulate pressure and touch, that worked reliably as controllers, VR would become more popular.

Cybersecurity: BigID keeps rolling with $70M Series D on $1B valuation
While it's interesting to read about these concepts in the context of the time they were established (even if they do come off as hopelessly classist) I have always despised how they become conventional wisdom far beyond their shelf life. It compels people to ignore their unique life circumstances in favor of a shortcut explanation that may not apply to them at all. I've always been similarly wary of concepts like "rebound relationships" or "best years of your life". If we have a bunch of de-personalized frameworks to help explain the course of our own lives, it only moves us farther away from seeing our lives for what they really are. Maybe that relationship ended because you have attachment issues, not just because it happened to follow shortly after a different relationship. But if you and people around you write it off as just another classic "rebound", then you may miss out on the ability to learn something about yourself.
As my friend’s parents put it, on the subject of adventures: At 40 you have the means to do many things, and the health to still do them.

I think it does require keeping an inventory of dreams and assets, if-this-then-that style, but I don’t think that has the form of a midlife crisis. Those are less calculated in nature and manner.

CentOS and RHEL will only be exactly the same at the moment when RHEL is a point-in-time fork of CentOS. As soon ad RHEL forks from CentOS, CentOS will roll forward and will no longer be exactly the same as RHEL.

Previously, CentOS was a rebuild of RHEL. In between RHEL releases, CentOS was exactly the same as RHEL. When RHEL had a release/fix/backpoint, CentOS trailed until it was rebuilt from the new RHEL source.

The "old" CentOS was exactly the same nearly always (nearly perfect overlap) and the "new" CentOS is exactly the same nearly never (almost no overlap).
My understanding is that it is Apple’s own code, they didn’t license it from Adobe.
Well thats the thing... Firefox is not particularly good in anything and this is the point of the article. When Firefox becomes more unpopular than Mozilla fails its mission aside from Firefox, which is to set open web standards.

The situation for Firefox is that bad, that even enterprise users - ESR - are moving to MS Edge since its offering support together with MS Office.

I think Firefox needs something drastic to become relevant again, which is very unlikely taking into account the last years history.

Myself as a FF user i'm more and more tempted to switch to some other multiplatform-chrome-compatible browser.
Yep, this is one of those threshold type things that makes future predictions wrong all the time. Currently the resolution is just too low - I really gave it a good try with a lot of motivation but it just doesn't cut it. You can make text readable but only if you size the virtual monitor to be huge and the effective resolution is way less in the end than a pretty cheap external monitor.

But once it hits the point of being usable I don't see why we won't see a complete domino effect where people start setting up complete virtual offices in VR. And that will ripple through whole teams flipping to VR a sa way of working. Putting aside sheer "size", you can make VR monitors any shape and in any position you want. So I can actually have a gigantic monitor with a complex technical diagram on it, then a vertical one next to it with a code listing - and these can be floating in space in a totally unrealistic way. Then I can have email floating in the air behind me ...
Whether they read it or not, they didn't comment on its merits, but rather said plainly that Texas doesn't have standing. That is to say, something may be amiss, but Texas can't be the one to sue over it.

I've been trying to find a camera cover that will allow me to cover both the cameras without obstructing the infrared light and the microphone. No luck yet.
Chris Pruett, who runs part of Oculus, speculated about that, saying: "My guess would be something that is highly immersive, that involves active motion of your body, and ... it's probably going to be something that you either play with other people or is shareable with other people."

VRChat.

More and more of my furry online circles are constantly posting VRChat videos and photos. Give it a year or two of the gear needed dropping in price and I think it may finally explode in usage.

The ‘rona helps here; all the furry cons have been cancelled but furries still want to be cartoon animals at each other. There have been virtual cons via VRCHat already. I don’t have the spare cash to get a vr setup myself so I can’t talk about how well they went off, but I bet the virtual-first cons founded this year are not gonna go away just because physical gatherings are safe again...
>> I would have thought that the GPL ensures that the customer can then freely redistribute them

I'm actually surprised Red Hat has typically shipped SRPMS in bulk to it's customers. I think it's rare that customers would use them, and the GPL allows Red Hat to be far less accomodating. It allows you to charge for each copy of the source code you convey, it doesn't need to be in such a convenient form, it doesn't need to be available on-demand, it just needs to be available on-request.

Once a customer has it, yes - the GPL allows them to hand it to Rocky Linux and let them run with it. But I think the community has been fortunate so far just to get the distro sources they have in the way they've gotten them.

edit: Perhaps "fortunate" isn't the right word, since Red Hat benefits from the community and owes the community some reciprocation. I'm just saying that legally, if Red Hat wanted to be bigger douche bags, the GPL gives them some space to do so. And I'm glad they haven't fully taken advantage of that before.
> I personally like to purchase books that are in PDF format, not epub/mobi

PDF is abysmal for books though. 1) You can't scale fonts to fit various screen sizes. 2) It's waaay more expensive to interpret and render, so it affects battery life.

My understating is that PDF still has a stack machine. Just one that is much simpler.

Having said that, PDF is vastly more complex than it was originally. It can contain forms, JavaScript, audio, video, accessibility metadata, etc.

It’s an extremely complex format.
