I dunno. It was just hours and hours of violence. How long can you watch a bunch of people flying around and punching each other? I found it very boring.
As pointed before, the apple app store is incompatible with GPL. With the notarization system it makes it necessary for developers to at the very least use apple's proprietary toolkit to release their software. The FSF has a big list, I find some of the items a bit exaggerated, but most are legitimate points: https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/malware-apple.en.html

Anyway, user freedom is the main point of free software and, supposedly, of the original article. In that sense, it's hard to argue that Apple ranks any higher than even MS.
Renting: Read up on local tenant/landlord laws before you rent. When moving in, ask for a walkthrough with a landlord and note everything that is wrong, take pictures of everything (including a newspaper) and email it to them. Before moving out, ask the landlord what you will need to do to get your security deposit back. Get a cheap can of spackle and fill and smooth any minor holes you made (it's not always required but it's easy) but mainly don't leave anything that isn't considered wear and tear. Do a walk-through with the landlord when you leave, take pictures of everything, send it to them. Follow any steps required by law, such as returning the keys on time and providing a forwarding address. If the landlord tries to take your security deposit or charge you for damages or cleaning, reference the laws, pictures, and conversation, and ask them to reconsider. If you do everything right you may still have to go to court for some reason or another, but you will be well prepared and confident. You can also often have free 30 minute consultations with lawyers; ask your employer if they provide assistance.
While this is true, the UK export to the UE was around 45% of the total shares (2018)[1].
So the Brits might look at new markets but cutting that share because they don't want to comply with regulations would disrupt their exports.

This will have the effect of making waiting a minimum-wage job.

My wife used to wait at a Pizza Hut during the weekdays. She was lucky if her tips brought her up to minimum wage most days. On a few, she did great, and because she liked the interaction with customers, she stayed with it for years.

Whether or not she made enough tips to bring her up to minimum wage, the manager required her (illegally) to report enough tips so her wage met minimum.

If she had to split her tips with full-wage staff, I'm sure she would refuse to report tips. Pizza Hut will likely have to pay wait staff full-wage or just not have wait staff anymore. People won't tolerate this.

Thanks!

I do what to go multi-platform ASAP. However, because of the sheer complexity of video editing - and since I focused on speed + ease of use from the get go, I chose to go with a single platform (Windows) for starters.

Once I am close to feature complete (as in, be able to properly launch and be rock stable), I can think of porting to Mac (first), and who knows, maybe Linux.

I did think about this from the get-go, so I did isolate the complicated code in a specific module. So theoretically, it should not be very easy (read = 2-3 months :D) to port. But when reality will hit, we'll see :D
I started playing around the same time as you, and also hold the pick "incorrectly", using both the index + middle finger. It's only been in the last year or so that I've made any sort of effort to use just the index finger. It feels unstable, but faster in a way, and also easier to hybrid pick thanks to the middle finger being free.
The cinema I was in was literally vibrating all over the place due to the loud music, it was very distracting.

I think it's like using an app for language learning. If you think 10 minutes of Duolingo every day is going to make you fluent in Chinese you're deluding yourself, but it doesn't mean that it can't be a good entry point and a good way to build discipline and gauge your progress.

I've been learning the saxophone for a few months (ask my neighbours) and have used a bunch of different methods. I find that even bad practice is good practice, so to speak. It's just important to keep a feedback loop: listen to yourself, compare yourself to good players and look for the differences. And don't just use an app, vary your training using multiple sources and methods to find what works best for you, as well and filling the gaps.

For the saxophone I found that a good way to spot bad habits force yourself to "do things right" is to force yourself to play in a different key every day. This forces you to deconstruct what you're playing, as well as making sure that you can play on the entire range of your instrument.

Sure, it's better to start with good personalized private courses with a good teacher and excellent hardware but many people wouldn't even start if that was the barrier of entry. I know that I definitely wouldn't have.

Having to unlearn bad habits a few years down the line is annoying, but it's not the end of the world.
I'm curious about the cost increase for container ship transport to US/CAN vs lorry transport to EU. Containers are cheap when there isn't a pandemic, right?
I was more thinking about using TrueType features to dynamically add size-appropriate scanlines and gradients.
This makes sense.

AIUI the opinion says: Although EU law affords media rights holders additional rights to protect their businesses, this company doesn't have a business model other than using those additional rights, therefore the company has nothing that the additional rights would protect, therefore it doesn't have the additional rights.

One may have different opinions on those additional rights etc. That's orthogonal to this opinion.
this becomes less of an issue with each passing year as the EU's share of world GDP decreases

Maybe? Until the fishing right are denounced by France and the deal vetoed?

Honestly, i think they will be a war between Brittany and britain's fishermen if the deal is not done correctly. I've heard fishermen cooperative planned their motor issues front of port entries for the next two month, issues that will prevent them to move out the way and prevent England to sell fresh fish (at least around St-Malo, and Malouins are the less obtuse bretons imho, i will probably be worse west of there).

I fear this small issue of fishing will be a pain for the next decade
With practice most people can dramatically influence the outcome of a coin flip. I’ve gotten to >80% accurate when I was practicing.
What did they lose exactly sorry?

Because at least to me it is not clear at all.
It's very good, but the last season gets a little weird with the 'serial murder'.
Sure, but the point is that we had some sort of say in the regulations whilst being bound to them, now we don't. That doesn't sound like "control" to me.
I think it's more random for me because I flip coins onto the floor, not onto my hand, or spin them on the table and see how they land when they stop spinning.

Another possibility is that people do remember that evenness has to do with divisibility, but they have too many concerns about divisions involving zero. Perhaps they inadvertently exchange the divisor and the dividend and end up thinking that the parity calculation involves division by zero. Or maybe they remember the rule against division by zero too broadly and think it applies to zero as a dividend as well.

The US military way from the Vietnam War on is two metal IDs (dog tags) tied through shoelaces and around the neck. Tattoo is probably more of a surety for positive identification except certain in cases like fire where the metal tag is more likely to make it through the situation than skin or laminated paper as well.

You can get dog tags made up for like $5 or so online probably...pretty cheap and effective.

There's lots of citizens of UK happy today. For some it could be a waste of time. For some others, knowing UK laws are written in UK, it's a relief.
I agree, although my point was that some people just want to have fun doing something, their goal isn't necessarily to get really good at it or to do it correctly. Many prefer doing things their own way rather than the right way, so they might not like being constantly told what they should do.
BMW charged $80/yr for a feature that used to cost $300 total. They since reversed it and now offer the feature for free (i.e. back into the initial cost) due to backlash.
If there is something wrong with the food, I make the restaurant redo it. There is no excuse for poor food, nor is there a need to tip for good food. It is the restaurant's product.

If there is something wrong with the service (rudeness, order was wrong, drinks not refilled), then the restaurant should not suffer a loss of tip.
Wait, you admit on your resume you’re not good at programming and still get programming jobs?

I picked up a switch exclusively for this game, I only just got off the first little island, so far it's very much living upto the hype. I'll find myself slow walking the area and just exploring more than anything else. Considering all of the games one could play during a pandemic, this was a perfect fit for me.
I would contend that there's a great amount of collateral damage, and that 'toxic assholes' are those least (genuinely) susceptible to social pressure.
Humans are “flawed” and “biased” (product of their environments and learnings) and thus anything they create and “control” is by definition “flawed” and “biased”. AI is just a set of the many tools humans have created. The biases can be both positive or negative.

It is like people who talk about human rights while ordering bombings of children far away. The ethics of AI is similarly flawed. It might solve some problems here but might inadvertently or deliberately accentuate others depending on your perspective. It is a sense a cost/benefit solution where we may never even be aware of the costs but just the benefits (those who incur the costs may not have a voice or be muzzled).

I am all for AI by the way. I simply see it as a tool. It is up to societies to formulate acceptable policies and measure the costs and benefits.

Humans were good and bad before AI and I see nothing changing there.

I think a key property of a deus ex machina is the abruptness of the occurrence. In vulgar Latin...an asspull. A lot of these examples had years of set-up or serve a narrative purpose.

- Yeah finding the locket was a bit too serendipitous but Kreacher has been shown before to obey Harry _contemptuously_. When asked to report on Draco's activities in HBP, he reports the most mundane things, making his report essentially useless without breaking his obligation. He only finally cooperated when Harry looked at him as a creature with feelings, not just a servant. Ties back to when he asked Dobby to sit down in CoS, which sends the elf wailing at the decency.

- Polyjuice has been established since CoS, along with the cost of using/making it and its limits. Hardly sudden and hardly an unfair advantage.

- Did a Voldyvision ever lead Harry directly to a Horcrux? I don't remember so. The closest I recall is Harry willingly slipping into this trance to verify Voldemort's anger at discovering the loss of the locket---not a huge advantage and a reasonable tactical move. The diadem, Harry had to rack his brains for that, even empathize with a ghost.

- Voldemort couldn't Avada Kedavra Snape because he believes Snape is the Elder Wand's master.

- Snape lied to Voldemort to the very end, his legillimency is not infallible. Sending Narcissa Malfoy is a bit of good luck, I'll grant, though it also emphasizes how one of Voldemort's weaknesses is his inability or plain refusal to read people. He failed to see that Snape loved Lily so, which caused him to turn for the good, and he failed to see how much Narcissa cared for her son---he didn't consider she'd have a reason to lie to him.

- Ron "speaking" Parseltongue as a plot turn feels a bit rushed and unsatisfying indeed but is not at all miraculous. I can say "Spasibo" to thank my Russian coworkers even if I'm not Russian and hardly has training in Russian.
I would agree with "Haskell", and typeclasses are probably are the most important feature, if such a thing could exist. However, was there a lot of hype for typeclasses when they came out in the 90s? It seems like outside the pure functional programming domain, typeclasses have not yet reached their zenith!

Maybe make waiters full wage staff. Why is that so hard?
I don’t see how one can come to that conclusion based on the article.

As noted, the agreement is 2k pages long. The only real thing the article digs into, and that’s a very generous use of dig, is fisheries, which though a political sticking point isn’t all that interesting or relevant in the grand scheme of things.

The UK already did and always has controlled the supply of their own currency as do many EU member states.
Lebron James.
For what it’s worth, John Watson, in his book Modern Chess Strategy, lists the Q+N > Q+B thing as a belief that used to be common in the past, but is proven wrong by modern practice. I’m not nearly strong enough to have an opinion on the matter myself.
I had to check the date multiple times, because this reads like an April fools joke, and/or satire article.
It is not "the UK" that manufactures and exports things, it's people living there. Some of these people will want to target the EU as a market, some won't. For those that won't, following the EU regulations is now optional.

Not only is this (somewhat obviously given the discovered bias) wrong, it’s physically impossible to bias a coin flip by weighting one side. Weighting a coin will change its center of gravity but to bias a flip you would need to impart angular momentum while it is in the air; at any constant rate of spin (again somewhat obviously once pointed out) each side will spend 50% of its time "up" and 50% "down".

> I play Fortnite with my kids casually. I looked up a howto a few weeks ago, and my recommendations are still 25% Fortnite related content, even though I only watched one video one time.

In general I've noticed that YouTube favors your "newest outliers" (let's call them) over stuff you've historically looked at. Probably the rationale (optimization metric?) is trying to capture you into content that might add to your total watch time on the platform.
From the article:

"Once they’re in the database, they steal the data, send it to their own servers and then delete it from the local machines," Harpaz continued. "The victim has to pay a ransom for the data to be returned."

Elsewhere in the article:

"Once hackers manage to steal the data, it is posted on a website and sold to the highest bidder unless the victim agrees to pay a ransom of roughly $500."

I conclude that we're both right :)

They delete "from the local machines" which I interpret to be the victim's server. If the victims had had data backups, as simple as a daily cron task that calls mysqldump, presumably they would be unconcerned about restoring their data. However, they would still worry about their data being sold.

Since there's zero guarantee that the thieves will take down the data for the $500 fee, it seems pointless to pay them. They could come back in a month and say "you owe us another $500". Or just go ahead and sell the data anyway.
As someone without autism experience (and also less coding qualifications than your son):

- things I think would have helped me during my own 'development'; pursuing and finishing side projects of various ambition levels, networking (non formal) or looking for mentorship (even on a little project). Understanding that it's ok to contact strangers / organisations outside of professional interaction, to ask them a few questions. Doing things for fun and involving others.

- If he is good with instructions, maybe it's an idea to have small flow charts in a small notebook to help with things like communicating or decision making? The flowchart could direct him to a templates asking for help, signaling discomfort etc. (just like so many people could use some help in writing effective emails).

- maybe he can keep an online notebook, to journal his activities / learnings, projects. to practice his communication, sort his thoughts. As a reference for communicating with others.

- Kinda meta, but perhaps there is value in involving or stimulating him to have informal (slow and spaced) interactions with people around the topic of your post. Just talking to people in the professional (or hobby) field. You can set up questions or talking points together, or even a plan, get some insights, meet people, practice interaction .. no pressure, no strings attached. Just make sure the other person understands the goal and keeps it positive / light. I'm sure there are people open for this and they will have more to offer than me haha.

- ... and then of course you can wrap all this up in a project supporting people with autism in computerworld.
(I don't mean this condescending! I'm just reasoning that your family is the most suited to address this topic, and it's a worthy thing to work on. Granted it might be draining to work on.)
> Obviously, Intel has major partnerships with most OEMs, so despite their shortcomings they're still doing strong.

There's this weird obsession with blaming AMD shortcomings on Intel...

AMD can't produce enough chips for OEMs so they get left out in places. End of story.

It's fun to joke about "14nm++++++" but it just so happens actually being able to stock your chips is a pretty big competitive advantage.
I suspect most people use AirDrop for the use case where a bunch of folks are physically somewhere together, perhaps on a trip or having coffee, and someone asks: "hey, can you quickly send me that video?". Without Airdrop that isn't always feasible: 1) a WiFi network may not be available to send using other means 2) perhaps the video is very large and would eat your data 3) no cell reception at all, as is common on adventure or hiking trips

Thanks!

> Easy of use like the windows movie maker, basic cutting, and easy to apply LUTs.

Agreed! I'll take another look at windows movie maker, but I do think I have all that.

About LUTs - I will certainly have that, I do think in a 3-4 months timeframe, it's certainly on my TODO list. I know how to implement it, but it's certainly far from trivial :D My take is that it'll take me roughly 1 month to have it done.

> The more magic you can do for the average user, the better (e.g. how Lightroom or Instagram work for pics)

Agreed, that's what I intend to do, thanks again!
htmx.org and Svelte: two JavaScript libraries that I use and like very much. Natural extensions of HTML and CSS, tiny downloads for the user, very efficient.

Spotify: I resisted for a long time. People laughed at my small bookcase of CDs. But, OK, I’m sold. The premium subscription is the best return on the dollar I’ve seen since Wo Hop’s.

Learning to converse in a foreign language. A lot of work, but very rewarding.

The Avengers: no, not that one. The 1960’s series, specifically (and only) the two seasons with Diana Rigg as Mrs. Peel. It appeared on Amazon and I started watching out of nostalgia, but—wow.

Julia (the programming language). The power of the type system and its version of multiple dispatch lives up to the hype.
Great idea, I think you’re on to something!
"In other words, the CDC was effectively about to recommend that a greater number of African-Americans die so that the share of African-Americans who receive the vaccine is slightly higher."

The fact that this does not lower my trust in American institutions says a lot about my baseline expectations. And these are the same people making recommendations about masks and lockdowns and treatments, and who you get squelched by youtube or twitter for contradicting.
