Absolutely. Khan Academy teaches unconnected facts in the way that US schools operate, but 3blue1brown aims for understanding.
And yet for some reason we’re discussing this in a thread about a free trade deal that’s just been agreed between the UK and EU, which allows free movement of goods without tariffs or quotas.
Well, the full name of the country is "the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". I imagine in that case it would become "the United Kingdom of Great Britain" and then "the United Kingdom of England and Wales", and would continue to be abbreviated as "UK".
I wish Lightroom was good. I stopped using it because it's incredibly slow. Even on a 32 core Threadripper, things like "list the files in this directory" take seconds. I can't deal with it. Honestly, I would have dealt with it, if Adobe's mandatory extra software weren't so annoying. The installer auto-installs a "cloud drive", and then it's in every Explorer window, slowing down every file operation in the OS... that was the last straw for me. (They promised to remove it, but never did, so I stopped paying for their software.)

Honestly, Lightroom never really worked for me. It made easy things hard and hard things impossible. I take a lot of film photographs, and it just didn't integrate with any of the tools I use to capture the images. I do everything manually in several separate pieces of software, and adding one more didn't help much.
I don’t really see it as shaming people, more just misinforming them. Whether that makes it ethically okay is indeed another question. I imagine the researcher chose the ‘lie’ deliberately so it wasn’t too dangerous.
Continued membership of ERASMUS was negotiated but the UK was unwilling to continue to pay the same rate it did before, which makes me think the replacement UK scheme will either fund fewer places or only fund them in cheaper countries.
It only took some guy on a forum one reply and 9 days to get on top of google for "I am lonely". Ah... things sure have changed.

I've got an ancient version of Lightroom (maybe 2010?) that I still use to manage photos on Windows. Feature-wise, it's great, but it is very slow and a little buggy. I've been meaning to try out Darktable since it introduced Windows support around a year ago, but it's difficult to find time to replace something that works :)

Blu-Ray (the cheap ones, 25/50 GB) is actually cheaper than tape, if you care for that.
But yeah, they are less dense.
Absolutely agreed that it doesn't make much business sense to keep supporting LR6. And 5 years is a long timer in the software world. That said, I wonder if there are companies that do support older versions of software just for the sake of customer delight.
Broken software here is the "prize" for the people who opted out of "the SaaS model".
Great Britain is the big island where England, Wales, and Scotland mostly are. There will be "border checks" down the Irish Sea, on goods which are travelling within the United Kingdom (specifically between Northern Ireland and Great Britain).
Didn't such a program always exist?

Hi All, contest is over, congrats to the winners.
Only if they were being sold in the UK, because the UK had trading standards which complied with EU trading standards.

So if you’re lowering the bar, you’re doing it for the UK primarily. But our trading standards were higher then the EU base ones. So, not sure what we gain.

But yes, if you produce goods not destined for the UK market, it was completely fine for you not to meet EU standards.

It’s fascinating to me how block-based editors have been gaining traction recently. It’s a great balance between modeling semantics the computer can understand and offering a WYSIWYG UI for users. I built an in-browser editor for a client project that worked this way back in 2014, and open-sourced the core[1]. It worked really well. However, at the time our users (professors) had difficulty understanding what was going on when it didn’t work identically to MS Word. Specifically, to them, Word was “correct” and anything that worked differently was “wrong.”

I quit using that model in future projects as I just assumed that block-based editing would always be too “programmery” for users trained on and anchored to Word. I guess I was wrong :)

I agree with your assessment.

But it's just that in Norway, sports wear is so in fashion that it bleeds over to everyday- and even formal clothing. Instead of a wool sweater, one wears a sporty wool baselayer like "kari traa". Instead of sun glasses it's sports glasses. Instead of a winter coat it's a ski jacket etc.
I live in the UK. Brexit will only make my life worse. I don't see any upside to it. None. We are also setting a terrible example to the rest of the world when we should all be cooperating to tackle COVID, climate change and other international challenges.

A bunch of old white guys, who will be mostly dead soon, have wrecked the UK on the altar of nationalism, bigotry and nostalgia. And perhaps also to create a low regulation low tax dystopia that they can run without interference. And a majority of the population was gullible and ignorant enough to let them do it. It is very sad.

I would move to another country if it wasn't for family commitments.
Rainway? https://rainway.com
No, this is fine–in fact, it's how the system is supposed to work. Apple provides their solution, but it's macOS–you can just say "no" and do your own thing. The situation on iOS is broken.
You have much more trust in UK authorities than I think they warrant. It is said regulations are written in blood; that means the regulations that preceded present regulations are the result of past experts being wrong. What are the chances that we are fortunate enough to live in a time when regulations are truly optimal and won't need to be changed in the future? Pretty low, I'd think. What are the odds that present regulations have been influenced and compromised by commercial interests? 100% guarantee, just look at the clusterfuck of an inquiry. If the government can't reclad a few hundred towers, do you think they'd dare condemn thousands of towers? They're addressing the cladding because it's feasible to fix, but retrofitting buildings with more stairwells? That's way more expensive, so it's being ignored.

There will be more fires, more deaths, and more changes to regulations. What experts say should be considered, but not treated as dogma. At best they are less wrong than their predecessors but more wrong than their future successors. If the people in that tower had disregarded the advice of extant UK experts, they would have gotten out alive. If that building had been constructed with more stairwells than UK experts presently say is required, they could have gotten out alive. If there had been an operational building wide alarm, as are found in American buildings, those people would have gotten out alive. There is a whole lot wrong with extant regulations in the UK, and commercial interests have politicians and the public ignoring most of it to focus on the cladding fraud (those responsible should be in prison for life, but the cladding fraud is not the only problem this fire revealed.)

> Looking at the hard numbers, pushing evacuations might actually make things worse.

This is not a crowded nightclub we're talking about; rapid evacuation of residential highrises is a reality in America. Please go look at the hard numbers of Grenfell, particularly the timeline of conditions inside the tower. There was ample time to evacuate the tower several times over. In modern America, most of the residents would have been waiting on the sidewalk before the firemen even got there. The building wide fire alarm would have been blasting their eardrums out.
I would suggest that aggressive expansionism eastwards from the EU (and NATO) has done more to create an issue with Russia and more to gift power to Putin than any other factor.
It's been far from a peacemaker on the macro scale.

I would agree with the standards body part. Although I would question why you need a parliament, senate, executive, judiciary, foreign policy etc to act as a standards body and to implement a free trade area and free movement area.
Just reported this to my job. Almost all of us use Macbook Pros for work; and, almost all of us have multiple monitors all connected through Type-C to something (probably DisplayPort or HDMI).

I'm rocking 2 separate type-C to HDMI adapters for my setup.

I continue to be disappointed with Apple's desktop experience.
GAFAM if it has to be an acronym. Other big software companies work too. Basically yes otherwise.
You're probably getting downvoted because the situation on macOS is nothing like it is on iOS.
Having the license to a nonessential component expire should not cause the full software package to crash.
The game compiles into a DOS COM file too, just set 100h as the loading area and delete the BIOS boot code.

So you can try it under DOSBox, too.
And people didn't remember the horror of WW1, the Napoleonic Wars, etc? That is actually a worse explanation IMO.
“It essentially makes compliance to EU law optional for companies operating in the UK.”

As long as they do not export to the EU or do not sell half-products to firms that export to the EU.

Most exports from UK companies go to the EU, and will have to comply with EU regulations.

For those firms also exporting to non-EU countries, chances are it won’t be worth the hassle to make both EU-compliant and non-compliant products (as an example, look how the RoHS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restriction_of_Hazardous_Subst...) drove the world to ban lead in soldering)
> Why Apple kept Final Cut Pro and killed Aperture is beyond me.

Same.

I gave up waiting and when Capture One announced really good integration with Leica’s SL2 (and a SL2 can scan way better than my Coolscan 4000 and cover medium/large formats) I bought their perpetual license. Capture One 21 works for 4 years, I’ll be happy. Anything else beyond that is gravy.
The incentive structure that seems clearly best (though not greatly) suited to this large-scale intelligence infrastructure is public investment in publicly owned systems.

Jordan seems to maybe gesture at this, as who owns all the bridges in the the USA? Governments. If we are talking “societal-scale medical system” a majority of people would want that publicly owned and operated and universally accessible.

We’ve already seen in industry that the incentives are to massively in favour of creating walled-gardens that lock in users and thus profits. No societal-wide system should work like our social media ecosystem (FB, Snapchat, TikTok). The dominant profit incentives are also not “human-centric”, as Jordan constantly emphasises. Well, they’re only so if we assume profit-making activity is tightly aligned with “human-centric” concerns. Some will say yes, but to me our climate disaster and the USA mass incarceration system are strong enough evidence that the answer is no.

I think some wealthy Northern European countries are setup well enough to produce “Intelligent Infrastructure”, except for the fact that most of the talent is in the USA.

Currency is independent from the EU participation, plenty of EU countries are outside of the eurozone.
Sure, but the burden of the extraordinary claim that a particular set of reforms impossible under the EU could be more valuable than trade with the EU falls on those making it.
I do that, too. I also run some 15-ish year-old machining software. I've mostly moved these into VMs with a fossilized OS that works for them.

Between applications that keep getting worse with each revision, subscriptions and other annoyances, I think a lot of my software use will follow this model.
Only handles a single symbolic name per commit, and doesn't necessarily pick one that's meaningful in that sense. It's what I'm trying to get away from.

e.g. projects/aio_writev has 8 commits, but if name-rev is allowed to name that branch, it'll gleefully use it to name thousands of commits to main as well.
Past 5 years?
> Yes - but now we can trade with those countries on our terms…

Er no, we get to trade with them on their terms, having just lost the benefits of any preferential terms negotiated by the EU. Those “overall terms depending on EU trade deals” were overwhelmingly favourable terms negotiated thanks to the immense negotiating power of the whole EU trade bloc. We’ve now lost almost all of that.

And bear in mind a lot of these EU trade deals weren’t forced on us, we played a leading role in negotiating those deals ourselves. Now we’ve lost the benefit of a lot of that hard work.

Fortunately we have negotiated maintaining trade access with some countries, including Canada and Japan under our former EU arrangements. On many other cases though I believe including India, no such luck so far.
Honestly darktable is more than a replacement for Lightroom for me. However I never liked Lightroom in the first place; Aperture was far superior for my use-case. But I am very comfortable editing photos and I don't go to extremes with editing, and I don't need anything more than what Aperture offered 10 years ago.

I've bought 3 versions of lightroom over the years, and I'm still on LR5. Fired it up for the first time in a couple of years, and it's ... not working well. Cropping doesn't focus right on the drag, and some of the commands don't seem to 'take'.

I'm done with Adobe, except for the _tons_ of photos and develop settings that I have in LR from 10 years back.

> the marketplace is validating Adobe’s approach.

What other option did we have? The ones of us who held out on CS6 had to move on eventually because it got more and more crashy as MacOS went on until it wasn’t really functional at all anymore. Windows users might have better luck.

There are some alternatives but in particular nothing to match After Effects.
The US is generally believed to have been the primary source of IRA funding before the GFA. It seems reasonable to assume that Americans care about this issue. You should feel free to ignore the fact that the President-elect and House members representing a majority of the US population have strong feelings about this, since you’ve obviously chosen to ignore this.

2020 Year of the EV Launchpad
Capture One is amazing. I tried it at some point and switched to it immediately. It does much more than Lightroom, its layer system is much more flexible, and is faster (and not made by Adobe). I highly recommend it, my Photoshop usage dropped by 90% ever since, since I could do much more in Capture Pro.
People obsess too much over minor conveniences.

I don't care about driving. It still takes the same amount of time.

What I care more about is cooking. I'd rather have that one solved, as it would actually save me time. (No, I'm not looking for restaurants, meal delivery services or microwave meals).
3-5 years ago, the most effective way to design campaigns was by micro-targeting audiences. That is, you would have thousands of adsets, and each adset would target a small slice of your target audience.

The theory behind micro-targeting was that your audience's conversion rate varies considerably by certain key targeting attributes. And, if your audience has varying conversion rates, your CPC bids ought to reflect this.

For example, let's assume your LTV is $100. And, let's assume your average conversion rate is 1%, but actually, males convert at 0.5% and females convert at 1.5%. If you do NOT split your audience by gender, you will be forced to bid $1 per click for every user. However, if you split your audience by gender, you can bid $0.5 for men and $1.5 for females. By splicing your audience, you gain considerable efficiency. The theory behind micro-targeting was to find the permutations of targeting attributes that split your audience into segments with the most variance in conversion rates.

However, what's happened over the past few years is that Facebook's AI has become vastly better at doing micro-targeting than even the best individual marketers. This is partly because they have more data than platform participants, but also because they have much smarter engineers. As a result, it's now become better to hand over targeting responsibilities to Facebook's AI. For the most part, you just tell them what you want the average CPA to be, and they do the targeting for you behind the scenes.
Yes, the version by Ramesh Menon is easy to read and relatively unabridged.
Rather than the marketplace validating it, I would say that they had no option. I feel Adobe made the switch at the right time when they had no competition. It's not like professionals had any other competing option for LR and Photoshop. They were just using their market power to push consumers to subscription model (not saying whether that was right or not). I doubt they would have been able to successfully do that if they had strong competitors.
Missing the point yet again. Sorry to sound bitter back at you, but the remainers still fail to recognise why a lot of people voted Brexit. The current state of the EU/UK relationship is fine mostly, it's the direction that the EU is going in that is their problem. An army, an anthem, a single "state". That is the end goal of Brussels.

I voted remain, and I blame the remainers for messing it all up.

Man, this is perfect example of why most open source software has no chance to compete with commercial one.

One day I wanted to improve getting started documentation in open source f.lux alternative for linux, because it didn't work for me in Ubuntu without any visible error. I found the solution investigating terminal logs and did a 5 point write up "How to setup on Ubuntu".

Readme pull request got denied because "only one point applies to Ubuntu" (others were applicable to other distributions, too). Somebody even commented few months later that he found my pull request and it helped him make it work on his machine.

This mostly made me stop contributing to other projects.

Please don't put words in my mouth. I simply said it is not objective. You can trust non-objective things and derive value from them. However in the end they are still biased.
It could easily be a drone. It's happened before - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB8D2QZ9lA4

It's unlikely to be an electric vehicle if it's carrying a full-sized human. You just need so much weight in batteries & swept area for props for more than a couple minutes of flight that it's difficult to pack it into a form factor anything like the size & shape of a human.

Given the location and the current state of the technology, though, a liquid fueled jetpack is perfectly possible. It doesn't have to be very efficient if the flight is only a few minutes long. A typical helicopter may achieve 5 hours in the air without any lift to glide ratio. Jets are less efficient, but still efficient enough for short flights.

You may infer a TWR limitation of jet aircraft. It's real, but it's not driven by technical limitations of the jet propulsion technology, but rather by maximizing the range using optimal amounts of lift & fuel for a fixed mass of engine. It doesn't make much sense to use engines so powerful & heavy as a fraction of aircraft mass that they can hover straight up to cruising altitude; If you had engines that powerful, you would be hanging a bigger fuel tank on the vehicle and launch it conventionally. VTOL at high subsonic or faster is an exceedingly range-limited means of flight.
> The term "defense in depth" comes to mind.

For me the term that comes to mind is: Security at the cost of quality of life.

Sometimes security is redundant, that is fine. Sometimes it is unessisary, that could be fine as long as it is not harmful. Phishing training should be redundant at worst and unessisary at best. But these types of phishing training definitely has negative effects on the trainees. You are invoking a sense of failure and unessisary stress. Some people will have underlying stress issues, perhaps they are having a bad day, perhaps they are experiencing PTSD, and then seeing they failed a phishing test could be disastrous. Definitely not worth putting your workers at this risk for supposed (and unproven) security.
It might've; currently it's listed as working under the developer ID program: https://help.apple.com/developer-account/#/devadf555df9. (Don't quote me on this, but I think it wasn't there before. I know I was surprised when someone told me that this was the case way back and I checked.)

I think parent means that those terms would be negotiated by UK with only UK interests at heart, and not submerged in other countries interests.
The fundamental problem is that deciding what's biased is extremely subjective and context dependent. If an AI says "crime is often a problem in lower income neighborhoods", is it delivering a statistical fact or expressing bias against the poor? Depends entirely on how we think people are going to use the results.
