I guess it depends at what point it does the first render. I rarely see images load progressively in the first place, but when I do it's usually with an initial render that looks like 1967 needs their image back. My guess is that it's busy downloading the many/largeish js/css files that prevent it from getting very far on images before the DOM is ready for initial render.

No, there is no double standard.

The BLM leaders were saying "we are marching/gathering to protest police brutality". However things got out of hand. Violence was not their intent. See also the false flag operations against BLM:

Do you see the difference?
I think using Russia or Belarus as examples is completely incorrect. And all this questioning has only solidified how secure elections in the US are.

Take GA for example. A large percentage of the election officials are Trump supporters. I don't know about post coup attempt, but leading up they said they would still vote for Trump again even after he started putting them in danger with his fraud nonsense.

Finally, if someone wants to 'rig' an election, the path is not directly through changing votes, it's through social engineering. That's what the Russia investigation was about in 2016, and what Trump attempted here through all the lies both leading up to and post election.
I'd take the claim that Gab was "the biggest Mastodon instance" with a pinch of salt, to be honest.

Plus, they were immediately and almost universally banned by other instances in the fediverse

All I know (if I remember correctly, I'm fairly certain but won't rule out that I'm mixing things up) is that GIMP has a toggle for it and when it's enabled, it sometimes saves a tiny amount but never seems to get larger. Perhaps the toggle doesn't do what it says on the tin?
LowEndBox (the go-to site for bargain-bin deals on VPSs) has a page dedicated to preferred high-storage vendors: https://lowendbox.com/tag/highstorage/

I use LetBox for some projects and have been happy with them. Their high-storage plans go up to 10TB disk at $48.30/mo. In my experience their disk performance isn't stellar, but for lots of use cases it's more than adequate. Note that LetBox explicitly disallows media piracy on their servers (not your use case, but that's the context in which a lot of folks seek out high-storage servers). https://my.letbox.com/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=2

There's also WalkerServers. They rent out bare metal servers by the month, going up to 144TB at €255/mo. Their plans are more expensive than LetBox, but you should get better performance since it's bare metal, and if you buy your server in the Leaseweb datacenter, torrenting is allowed. The owner conducts a lot of customer service on Reddit and people seem pleased with his services.

Finally, for your specific use case, I would suggest considering AWS S3, Backblaze B2, or similar. Local disk space could easily be a limitation for folks looking to self-host image space; I have a friend with multiple TiB of images in Google Photos he's looking to move somewhere else. I have 30GiB of photos, which rules out lots of cheap VPS plans. Lots of folks also won't spring for more than the cheapest VPS plan they can get, or they'll load up your software on an old computer with modest storage. Local storage also makes your users responsible for backups/disk failures for some of the most important data they own, and most users really don't implement backup well. Putting the photos into a highly-durable, infinitely-scalable, cost-effective object store with push-button backup/versioning settings carries a lot of advantages for this sort of project. It doesn't have to be either/or -- you could support both -- but I definitely suggest supporting object stores.
Sadly fractional scaling is imperfect and looks blurry to me (on both MacOS and Windows, GNOME doesn't support fractional scaling (last I checked)).

I would love a 5K 27" screen at a reasonable price. :(

He is talking about the second law of thermodynamics in realised designs.

You can use designs from the 60s today and the result will be a brand new system that in time will rot away and need to be replaced by, possibly the same design. That doesn't invalidate what he is talking about.

Even the pyramids of Giza will eventually rot away given time.

The difference in software, in my opinion, is speed in which change occurs.
Sorry, I should have said PPI (pixels per inch) - as calculated by dividing screen resolution by screen area.

That is ridiculous. Do you know how much trouble disabled students would have to go through to deal with this?

You know disabled students have the right to privacy too, without other students knowing their personal health information. It is not the professor's business either, unless the student wants to disclose the actual disability's name(s) or the specifics around it. Only disability status is required to be disclosed in the US.

I personally have 2 neurostimulators inside of me, a power injectable port in my chest (an indwelling central line), a semi-permanent continuous glucose monitor on my arm (external), and a semi-permanent insulin pump connected to my abdomen--and clipped to my waistband (external). All of these alarm to a metal detector.

Also, the neurostimulators and insulin pump are sensitive to metal detectors and millimeter wave technology, as in body scanners. The insulin pump is also sensitive to X-Ray radiation.

In the case of the insulin pump, it can interfere with the photosensor on the cartridge/reservoir that detects the level of insulin remaining in the cartridge/reservoir. This can literally cause the insulin pump to overdose the person with diabetes.

As for neurostimulators, one of the neurostimulators I have has formal reports in the FDA MAUDE database, where people had their lifesaving neurostimulator deactivated by metal detectors.

Oh yeah, I also forgot, I have 2 places in my body that have plates/pins: my left shoulder and left ankle. That would set off a metal detector too.
Then they will lose users, though.
It's the same thing with leases and technology.

This apartment has smart home things (hub, A/C, smart lock) that's controlled through a mobile app. The lease says you're responsible for supplying the internet for the devices and calling the company when the app or devices are not working, but the apartment complex insists they take care of it (they really do, they didn't lie). But there were no solid answers on why this section was in the lease and it was completely false as I haven't had to support or provide internet for any of the devices.

This led to: "I don't want to support it, I'd rather remove them and just use a physical key" but they weren't able to remove them, nor remove the section from the lease.

I get it, they aren't lawyers, but it's weird when you read it and realize how different things are in the real world compared to some of the agreements we all sign (completely the opposite, in this case). If it came to it, I have no doubt I'd still be held to the terms of the lease though.
This is fascinating, I didn't realize there was a spec for this for the web.

But this begs the question: Apple Privacy Labels "caught on" because Apple has unilateral control to enforce them in the App Store. If ostensibly the same idea for the WWW did not catch on, is the problem (1) the lack of enforcement/economic incentive mechanisms on the decentralized web or (2) that consumers really didn't care/know enough to create/enforce such free market incentives?
Poorly thought out by a bunch of cold warriors that thought they could use America's centralized technological superiority to do damage to their perceived enemy, China. By labeling Chinese technology, network and apps as "unclean".

Of course the problem in that is that what if it is no longer you who decides what is clean and what is unclean? Wouldn't you then regret supporting a system that was hierarchy where an app store at the top could turn things on and off, rather than a network where no single authority is in control?

Of course these guys lacked the imagination to imagine that. And they certainly didn't think it would happen just 6 months later ...
For reference, in case someone is curious: If you look at the working-age population of Norway, approximately 1/3 are on welfare benefits, 1/3 work in the public sector and 1/3 work in the private sector.

What is cheating anyway? Looking up the answers in one's books or phone? Talking to your fellow students? That sort of artificial difficulty shouldn't even be part of the rules in the first place. If your tests are so easy they can be solved via Google, they're pointless and it doesn't really matter if someone is cheating in the first place.

Honestly the problem is this mass education model where professors have hundreds of students to assess. Tests are necessary in this environment because they scale to any number of students. If people want an honest appraisal of their skills, a mentor who focuses on a single student exclusively is much better positioned to provide it.
I had a quiz in middle school where the end of the directions said to ignore everything and put down your pencil. Really wish all schools taught this.
It seems to be taken in account. From the article:

"Thus, although the most common fatality rate
per event was 1 (48% of cases), in rare cases the ‘butcher
bill’ could run into hundreds (less than 1% of events had
a fatality rate of 100 or more). As a result, the rare but
bloody events have a disproportionate effect on the trajectory. A good example of this effect is the latest ‘peak’
in the trajectory (during the 1990s) – it is entirely due to
168 deaths associated with a single event, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing."
Not really, no. Islamic terrorist propaganda has been banned for a while, and before that there was the Red scare era, where it was (and still is) illegal to be in the Communist party. Plus you had all the McCarthyism. Let us not also forget the Civil rights era, and all who were silenced and even killed for their speech then.

So I'm not really sure what time period you refer to where there was truly free speech in America?
The tweet might be disagreeable, but it is still an important statement from a foreign Government. Twitter has no right to be 'Ministry of Information'.

It’s not about what you do but, instead, setting goals and meeting or exceeding them.

If you have a goal to be fit, and you’re very serious about reaching it, then you’ll try different fitness programs until you get to the goal.

Then, set another one.

To be clear, if it’s about looks and weight, proper eating is the only thing that will take you there.

My mileage was never that high, even during my late 20s: maybe forty miles per week as maintenance, rising to around sixty when training for a marathon. And frankly it wasn't that fast.
> You realize 70+ million people are not nazis, right?

(not the OP) Sure, but that's just a strawman, as nobody is saying they are. Twitter, Facebook, and Apple are specifically trying NOT to deplatform all of the 70 mil "alright" people, but only those few who go against the laws, right? Nobody's banning r/concervative, only the T_D got taken down.

> Platform would ideally provide controls for you to hide things you don't want to see. [...] This is the future and what we should be aiming for.

I like this idea very much! This already happens to some level, by following only certain accounts, being part of certain subreddits, or by switching to certain platforms, but I think a "physical" explicit checkmark to hide specific themes might make people think more about what they're actually doing — closing their eyes and ears and hiding themselves in echo chambers.

With that said, I'm sure we both can agree that most companies wouldn't want to provide a platform for nazis and pedophiles (...to discuss their nazi and pedophile things), even if the other users could hide their posts. Because, why would you do that? F*ck them.
Greenwald was outrageously wrong, though. It's clear the threat the left was imagining is real, we saw that on Wednesday.

weather.gov is nice - It shows the highs, lows, and precipitation for the next few days. The hourly temperature graphs also exist.

And no ads, because our taxes pay for it. I'm not sure why anyone uses any other website at all. Maybe it's because of the conspiracy to privatize forecasting and extract rent from it.
I don’t think time spent would matter if someone took the deliberate action of clicking “Accept.” It’s like arguing that you didn’t read a contract before you signed. You still signed.

I’m not arguing in favor of TOS. I just don’t buy this.

The “I do not agree,” method reminds me of the tactics of “sovereign citizens.” They try to game things via highly specific language. People think they can loophole the system, but still get snared. SCs still go to jail.
Jammers, which indeed are banned, are not the same as shielded rooms - but the latter is also not all that practical and even if not against radio regulation still might have safety concerns.

Downvoters: care to say why?
You may disagree, but the source and context do matter. If I say 'we should nuke the moon' people laugh and move on. If Trump says it's a completely different thing.

Trump spent years peddling lies and conspiracy theories, and getting right up to the incite violence line. His attempts to keep white nationalist on his side, by repeatedly having to be prodded to denounce them after showing some weird support is a problem. So yeah, if he said those things, it absolutely would count and may not count with someone else.
It was conservative news outlets the same you are defending here. Stop lying to yourself.
But that's just the problem: programmers don't want to pay for such a tool. I personally see it as a part of my work and having to pay for that feels like microtransactions in a game to me.

So not sure how such a thing could be monetised properly. Likely by only offering enterprise-grade services: the tool itself is free, the customer's programmers could employ it to achieve migration but the customer prefers to outsource the cost. Sort of how several Linuxes are free but come with paid support contracts.
Absolutely. Until now I had no idea what a JPEG optimizer is, and even the About page of jpeg.rocks said exactly nothing about what it does.
I think some of the same (100% valid and necessary) questions might have been raised in the past about identification cards, fingerprints, handwriting analysis, etc.

I think the bottom line is how the tech is employed.

Are we tracking ordinary citizens en masse, for some potential future use? Are we tracking folks just because they're dissenting/protesting? We would probably all agree those uses are bad. Very bad.

I'm not terribly worried about using them to identify specific criminal targets. Put another way, how absurd would it be for us to have perfectly clear video of people committing specific criminal acts, and not use the available technology to identify them?

On a related note, the (lack of) opsec displayed by the Capitol rioters is... really something. These people were happily mugging for the cameras, sans masks. I'm not sure if it was stupidity or entitlement. The easy and snarky answer would be "stupidity" but there were clearly intelligent folk among them or at least people that should know to cover their tracks better: lawyers, military and police officers.

I think there was a rather stunning sense of entitlement there: a lot of these folks honestly cannot believe they're being charged with crimes. As if they expected to be greeted as liberators!

God help us if and when they sharpen up their tactics. The sickening feeling in my stomach tells me that this was a hell of a practice run.
Convict him of what exactly?
The BBC is not a government-run service. It is a publicly-owned corporation.
If you are in a position to tie someone up, you're in a position to escape. There's no way it's a self-defense weapon.

But even if it was, why would you need it in the Capitol? Sorry, but everything points to them planning to abduct the politicians they were searching for.
Kahtoola micro spikes are great for hiking on ice. Infinitely better than Yak Tracks on a trail.

Hi!

In my experience with React and hooks, I have faced a lot of issues, spent some time debugging to understand where these issues came from, and seen other developers make the same mistakes again and again.

I have also seen several developers during technical tests in job interviews getting lost when using hooks because they needed to go past the basic use of useState and useEffect.

This is why I wrote this guide for developers who already know and use React, maybe even hooks, but would like to use them at their full potential.

Hopefully, it will contribute to make hooks easier to learn and use, because they are worth it

I think the precedent of "if you incite violence you're no longer welcome" is a perfectly fine precedent to set.
This does not quite fit your bill of "successfully using force", but the 2014 Bundy Standoff (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundy_standoff) was an interesting example of armed citizen "militia" facing off against armed federal agents who ultimately backed down. It does not seem like a stretch to assume that a significant part of the BLM's decision calculus involved weighing the cost-benefit analysis of the gun-fight that would likely result from them trying to force the issue.

That being said, there are, of course, a bunch of other examples of armed conflicts with the government that do not turn out well for the "citizens" when the government decides to violently pursue its goals (1985 MOVE bombing, Waco, Ruby Ridge, etc). But, I guess my point with all of this is that, for better or worse, the proliferation of guns in American society certainly does have an effect on the decision matrix of the government (even if the "citizen militia" ultimately does not stand a chance against a determined government response...

I don't. I did not said nor implied that. I said full credit, because I meant full credit. I did not meant "required for barely passing".

It is pretty often practically possible and achieved. In any case, motivated talented hard working student is entitled to expect full credit to be possible.

Average student is entitled to expect all exercises to be possible to solve and within range of what was taught in the course. Even if he personally cant solve everything, it should be doable.

For those reading, be aware that while signing "I do not agree" is borderline fraudulent, at least it's not clear user impersonation ie identity theft.
