Desktop UIs are hardly mature, but for the last 15 years UI innovation has been about putting lipstick on a pig rather than deep-diving subsystems and figuring out how to graphically represent and control them.

Designers aren't doing subsystem deep-dives, they're just implementing subsets of existing wholly inadequate GUIs using new widgets. Conversely, systems people who understand the un-GUIed subsystems aren't doing design work to better expose them, or expose them at all. It's an unproductive and frustrating stalemate.
I don’t think Microsoft will make the same mistake again by pursuing a touch UI on the desktop. Windows 8 and the Metro UI was a huge waste of time and effort that really harmed Microsoft.

What I think they are pursuing is how to monetize Windows. They tried it in Windows 10 with some start menu shenanigans, but people hated it and you can find tons of articles about how to hack Windows to get rid of that shit. So this role’s job will be to find a design that supports monetization without pissing off users.
I surely have, because it killed desktop inovation, as everyone keeps trying to replicate PDP-11 CLI experience, as termux is a living proof of it.

UNIX compatibility is also what keeps C alive, actually.

I'm throwing this out there on a whim. I have a neglected web property that has a small cult-like following of a few thousand members. It's a photo sharing community for a specific subject, with a moderator and community ratings and things like that.

I've had plans to take this property and use it as a proof of concept for a platform that will enable anyone to create this kind of photo sharing community. Kind of like a wordpress for photo sharing communities.

I'm currently busy with other projects, but If I can find the right person that can take my vision and run with it, I'd be willing to throw some serious resources into this.

I'm basically looking for a full-stack developer who can also do product development, OR a designer who can handle the product development and work with a remote developer.

> wouldn't it be more likely that the test was botched?

That's what I want to find out. From what you just wrote, the probability the test result is correct is at least 96%. But, as the result is so surprising and the tests aren't 100% reliable, it should still be checked.

You shouldn't assume it's a false positive simply because it doesn't fit in with our current understanding. Maybe our current understanding is wrong.

>> I always found it amusing how physicists, who really should know better, actually believe that quantum mechanics is how the world works and that this is it.

Is this a reasonable stance to adopt? "All experts in a field disagree with me - how amusing". Amusing or not it suggests that perhaps you are missing something that those experts are aware of.

>> We need something better if we ever want to leave our solar system and colonize space.

The way I understand it -I am, myself, no expert in the matter- we could be colonising space right now, the challenges are primarily engineering and economic (it would cost too much to develop the necessary technology) but we are not really lacking fundamental knowledge of how to do it, e.g. generation ships could work for that purpose, in principle, but nobody is mad enough to build one, let alone ride it if one was built.

Yes, the author is debating a straw man. The argument that the government is understating inflation is a pretty simple one.

1) The government is heavily incentivized to understate inflation in order to limit its expenditures for social security and TIPS, both of which are indexed to inflation. Social security in particular would explode in costs if, say, the official rate had been 1% higher on average over the past 30 years since the inflation measure got significantly changed during the late 80s and early 90s. In fact, if you look back at the discussion surrounding those changes, bringing down the costs of social security was an explicit reason for the redesign.

2) Complexity and obscurity. None of the input data is released, and there's this thing called 'hedonic quality adjustments' which is the umbrella beneath which economists decide how much to lower inflation when the quality of goods gets a little bit better. The FED economists point out that a car from 2018 is better than a car from 2012 and they adjust inflation downwards in order to account for the increase in value that consumers are getting in their car. Consumers counter by pointing out that they still have to spend the actual money...

Analysis) With transparency and a lack of incentive to cheat (see 1) hedonic quality adjustments would be an allowable modification, but with opacity and a strong incentive to cheat, they pretty much guarantee that inflation is fudged downwards. The debates around changing the inflation measure have focused heavily on reducing social security payments. In short, any time you have excessive complexity, lack of transparency, and an incentive to cheat, you can expect cheating.

Why should we care? First and foremost, Anyone who has a relative collecting social security would probably be upset to hear that grandma is getting about 60% of what she should be getting, given the promises made and the value of the money she contributed.

Second, and the big point that the article missed entirely, is that real gdp per capita HAS been declining, reflecting that decrease in standard of living that one would expect to see if inflation were understated.
Glad to hear! Another thing you can try is saving the original and the depth map and creating a 3D photo from them on facebook [1] (you don't actually have to post it to see the effect). They do all kinds of things behind the scenes, so the 3D effect is a bit more pronounced.

Re MySQL counts, based on your notes you’re probably using 50 conns at max whatever your settings are. 25 for sidekiq (assuming you do run a hot queue) and 25 at max for the servers. Irrespective of DB pool size, I think Rails does lazy connections, so you’re never going to go over 1.

FDA statement on following the authorized dosing schedules for Covid-19 vaccines
In my experience, the main hassle has been Gentoo maintainers of some packages who, for years, stubbornly refused to accept minor patches (and they were getting smaller as compatibility improved) for LibreSSL support (because always talking about risks has made people frightened about touching anything which relates to 'security', they prefer to shift responsibility on upstream, and you find the same kind of people upstream, afraid of putting two lines of #ifdef in their 500,000 lines bug-ridden project), thus users had to maintain their external overlays, and update them again each time a new version of the package appeared (if you consider that nowadays some projects publish releases every few weeks and that Gentoo is a rolling release...).

That's a small part of the reasons I don't use Gentoo on my main box any more, I got tired on fighting with maintainers who will spend their time writing 50 messages to deny people's requests and yet refuse a 5 lines patch pretending it is too much work or they can't "analyse" it. That behaviour is unfortunately not specific to Gentoo maintainers, of course. So now, I build my software myself, I make or take patches myself: anyway that's how it always ended, having to do the work oneself, but at least it saves the time wasted arguing with maintainers and waiting for them to finally commit the ridiculously small needed patch for months to no avail, and it saves my nerves too.

And don't get me started about "packages not being tested against LibreSSL": it is not like they were being tested against anything; the number of times users have complained that some package was pulling a stream of unneeded dependencies, or conversely was not pulling an actually needed one... because the maintainer had just gone "oh, it worked on my machine" where all dependencies were pre-installed. I am talking about major stuff like web-browsers or toolkits, not some little rarely used piece of software.
What about development on-the-device?

- It seems C compiled with clang on the device wouldn't be executable? (If it was, that would be a way around the restriction: distribute packages as source, like the good old days)

> offer users the option of generating an apk wrapping their native code in a usable way. https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/1072#issuecommen...

This seems a promising solution: compile from source, create an apk, install - your custom distribution! For popular collections of packages, a pre-built apk.

- Java might be explicitly blocked, being a system language for android, even though its byecode is interpeted and not exec()ed.

- Other interpreted languages should be OK e.g. python
> Money and skills are ALWAYS problems. Those are "cheap" and "fast" of the "cheap, fast, good, pick two".

Those are not problems, those are trade-offs. OP is right, you could be in a position in which those trade-offs dont apply to you (i.e. by buying a "expensive" but great solution, this happens all the time in all the industries) or you could sacrifice one item (say speed) in your solution if this is not a problem for your workflow ("so what if a open source tool runs 2x as slow as the best proprietary option, our daily batch processing take 2 hours and it is used in weekly buckets")
I'm not sure what you mean by "physically accurate" ?

No color reproduction is going to be physically accurate, except by accident, since color is an (average) human qualia, not a physical observable.

And especially because whatever the way that the colors are going to be reproduced, there's no guarantee that they will correspond to the same light spectrum than the original, since there's an infinity of spectra corresponding to the same impression for a specific color.

And if you want to do perceptually accurate averaging, you're going to have to work in a perceptually uniform color space ! Which (even linear) sRGB isn't.

All that said, it's perfectly possible that linear sRGB is just good enough for most use cases of averaging, even despite not being perceptually uniform. Especially in OP's example with just 2 shades : black and white.

Prediction markets also exist for non-binary events, whether a finite set of outcomes, countably infinite, continuous, or beyond.

Instead, the problem is they still require an oracle for the actual event outcome. That is, everyone is betting on some event, but once it happens, an oracle is needed to tell the market what the actual outcome was. So they don't solve the oracle problem. They're another application that can make use of oracles.
Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. According to the treaty, they agreed to not pursue nuclear weapons and to allow IAEA oversight.

Making it difficult for the IAEA to provide oversight is enough of a treaty violation, and that goes double when there is credible evidence that unauthorized enrichment was occurring.
Wait, which is the weird idea? That telling people they should lose weight doesn't make them lose weight, or that telling people that they're healthy and beautiful at their current weight helps?

What a disproportionate reaction from Github.

They could simply block network access from Iran to make it easier. Otherwise, blocking without giving warning is wrong. Even banks give warning and deadline to their clients before closing accounts that are linked to sanctions. Why Github blocked the entire organization without proper communication and deadline to fix or clarify the issue?
Also, all those changes were wrought by government fiat, and have been accomplished almost completely by reducing the weight of the cars, not by quality improvements as the article implies.
They aren't anymore, both them and Flipkart moved to a native solution over the last few weeks/months. I'm not sure I remember exactly when.
Yes. This is one example of the fact that the Earth 'laps' the outer planets because it has a faster orbit. So the outer planets sometimes appear to go backward with respect to a fixed point such as a star as the Earth undertakes them. They also can move up and down with respect to that fixed point because their orbits are tilted somewhat compared with the Earth's orbital plane around the sun. The overall effect is that the outer planets sometimes trace out a little spiral, and the further they are from the sun, the more these spirals dominate their overall motion (because we are lapping them more often).

Obviously it's different for Mercury and Venus, whose orbits are inside ours. They instead switch between being visible in the morning or the evening.

All very complicated for those ancient astronomers!

True, it’s hard to relate to the people defending the status quo in these comments. I think I am usually pretty good at understanding the other side of the argument, but tough for me here.
All models are wrong, but some are useful.

I'm with you, we use probability to wave away effects we don't understand or cannot measure. There's a flat rate probability that each of us has cancer right now, when perfect knowledge of our bodies could answer the question precisely. Each doctor exam we have reduces or increases that probability until we subjectively understand it's time to sample a point of the body and know for certain.

The local sample is related to the larger system, and the hidden variable (cancer or not). The local sample at the time of capture has a probability of being malignant. We measure directly and back propagate the results to the system.

But, unintuitively, there's been some famous results that seemingly preclude a deterministic explanation of quantum mechanics. See:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden-variable_theory

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem

On the contrary. I think desktop UI design needs lots of improvements. To me the peak was around Windows 7 but that's not "perfect" - it needs more improvements in the same direction. Probably KDE is a small improvement over Windows 7, but of course has some drawbacks by being exclusively on Linux. Still, it's my favorite modern desktop UI.
I can't imagine that would go any better. I think I'll just pass on reading the author's thoughts.
it interprets x86, and therefore loses a lot of performance.
