I was curious about this from a trademark angle (it seems against the spirit of the law if not the letter) and apparently it's generally permitted to show ads based on a brand keyword as long as the ad itself does not contain any trademarked terms or images. I don't personally agree with that but it supposedly been tested in a few courts.

The only gripe I have with Finder is needing to set up a million QLPreview things to do better spacebar peeking. Otherwise, it's fine - it "just works" and isn't fancy.
How about "avoiding cooking for founders that want to eat healthy but really hate cooking?"

Lately I buy a healthy roasted nut butter (pistachio, walnut, pecan etc) and dip it (covered completely) in a mix of hempseeds/shredded-coconut/flaxseeds and eat that with a spoon. I'd buy a non-cookbook that gave me more paleo/AIP/low-lectin food-combinations like that. Or just info on how to make better salads. (I add a lot of fermented foods like pickled red onions lately)

I do sometimes bake a bunch of turkey meatballs and eat those over a couple days - but I've given up on making turkey burgers or chicken. It's just too much work. I'd rather heat up frozen broccoli daily with a side of canned tuna. I really hate cooking, it's a huge time-sink and extremely unenjoyable.
This sounds like cutting off the nose to spite the face. Sure, you may be harming the advertisers, but you are directly reinforcing the ecosystem that creates those annoying ads in the first place by telling them you like those ads.

I hate ads too, but let's not pretend like this childish rebellion is actually self-serving. It's like me saying I'm upset with politics so I'll show the world by not voting.
Not really. This is not the first or the last one fixing horrible behavior in the default file picker.

Most of the time there's a deliberate reason the picker was designed this way, and the GNOME team won't accept your patch.

I personally stopped contributing to GTK very late in the GTK 2 series with very similar problems, and stopped using GTK in my projects since GTK 3.

GTK used to be my favorite toolkit back in the day.
You’re overthinking it.

There are design decisions that are wrong. Invisible emergency exit signs are a wrong design decision. Making the emergency off button the same color and shape as the light switch is also a wrong design decision. And yes, I think the original problem is also a wrong design decision.

Design isn't just art, design of functional objects needs to be functional. That means that there is an objective criterion for wrong design: if it isn't functional, it's wrong.

Yep. It's intentionally a bit of a minimal client, to make things more mobile friendly, and... it sorta works out. If you want to see more detail and higher quality, definitely try Patchwork.

For manyverse in particular: if it doesn't show something you think it should, or it says it's indexing, give it a while. Like, a lot of while. After the database got a bit large and something got confused and caused a rebuild, it took over 30 minutes to recover. But it does actually recover.

This is incredibly obnoxious and Apple should ban it.

I've seen it for any popular app - at best it's a tax apple is charging apps to protect themselves by buying ad slots for their own name.

I agree that deplatforming is a bad solution to the problem. I don't think there is an easy solution to "the problem", certainly not by tech companies. The response by tech companies is more like an emergency response to a dangerously close attempt to overthrow the government. It is an incredible show of power by the tech companies, and I am sure both political camps have taken notice regardless of their preferences in this particular case.

I think the free speech issue may be a little overblown here. I would be really concerned if cable companies stop carrying Fox News, but I get that this is a slippery slope. However, I think at the end of the slippery slope is not really the end of free speech, but rather two completely separate echo chambers each with its own mega distribution channels.

Can you elaborate on this? I'm starting to do something similar with a parent, and I'd like to know what kind of burden you mean, and what your experience were like.
As a relatively small business with no clout we've had to deal with fly-by-night operations violating our trademark with Google ads (basically randoms running ads that look like they are from US when people search our web domain) and Google not doing anything because we didn't register the trademark.

Take that page for example - I’ve got no idea what on earth it is after reading the first few pages (I mean I do, but with a consumer hat on I don’t).

I mean it says it’s supposed to be simple, but then moves on to a load of command line arguments and something about an API and then suggests I build it from source.

I mean clearly they have a different idea on what simple means! This isn’t consumer level software yet.

For a common person, Google/Apple cartel is about as much unavoidable as Visa/MC one. You are one of the very few exceptions - just as there are surely exceptional people who can do financial transactions that avoid Visa/MC.

Society is not math or computer science where existence of one counterexample makes things invalid. Society is a thing of ratios and percentages. If something is almost impossible for most people, we have to treat it as impossible even though it is possible for some - otherwise bad actors get away with terrible stuff on technicalities.

(I for example pay everything with cash or wires which are free and instantaneous in my country - I use card only once in a while to withdraw cash - but it does not invalidate Visa/MC duopoly any more than your special Android that only one in ten thousand people can use either)
is it coordinated or is everyone just sick of them? their lawyers left too, they are not part of some silicon valley cabal
>I’m having trouble even imagining the insane event-processing architecture that results in keystrokes being processed out of order.

It's relatively simple: the picker executes file-opening asynchronously, and only checks which file was selected at some indeterminate point after enter is pressed. In the meantime, the down arrow input in the main GUI changes the selection. The keypresses are always in order.

Whether or not that's the correct decision, it's not an inconceivable design. That example is probably one of the only times it would matter, since you would need async code that cares about some part of the file picker state.

Exactly. I'm glad you finally understand.

Are you suggesting 'tolerant' people should tolerate something like, racism? You are a logical moron if you try to make that argument. You know exactly what you are doing, and it's stupid.
There are still out-of-bounds concerns and chasing through NULL pointers. (Not arguing against gcc's quality or stability, just listing memory safety concerns that transcend memory deallocation)
No it's not users, it's open source developers are guilty themselves. There is no need to have dozens of Linux distros, multiple packages, few desktop environments (with apps like email clients, music players, etc. created for each environment). Windows doesn't have multiple desktop environments to choose, Microsoft isn't developing multiple email clients and so on. The amount of wasted time (creating multiple solutions for one problem) in Linux world is staggering.

In an article related to Ecosia, they said that even though the user didn't click on the ads, it still helped them to become more relevant to advertisers (and perhaps increase revenue?) Is this generally true for Okeano as well?
Just by having a high valuation Tesla can raise money through equity or debt sales more easily than the competition so Tesla can turn on a dime without being cash crunched.

I'm perplexed by your reply; I definitely mean (black|carbon) steel and note it is lighter than cast iron. Never a problem making a pan sauce in a black steel pan.

Stainless steel or enameled cast iron is my choice for long cooking tomato sauces, although even plain aluminum won't be an issue for a few minutes contact.

I was referring to your comment about arresting Trump - Twitter’s line is clearly about “legal” state violence. This wouldn’t be murder or forced sterilization or a coup d’etat. But it could be a legal (or even legally murky) military action, and certainly the arrest of someone like President Trump, who is subject to many good-faith allegations of serious violent crimes, and should be arrested to face trial for them.

It is worth noting that “state-sanctioned” violence does not always mean legally-sanctioned violence, since state actions can easily be criminal, or at least lawless.

- The Capitol Hill mob was illegal violence, albeit state-sanctioned (by endorsement of the president)

- Arresting the president (either under Congressional authority or the 25th amendment) would be legal state-sanctioned violence

- Although nominal Chinese law is somewhat authoritarian with regard to ethnic minorities and Muslims, the reason the Xi regime is so desperate to cover up and propagandize the concentration camps is that they are illegal under Chinese and international law
While you're here and know a thing or two about libinput: it's completely unusable for me, and the only reason I'm able to work at all is that the old synaptics package (on which libinput is based as a clean rewrite as I understand) still works. The reason is that libinput doesn't support sensitivity; I still remember the physical pain of hard-pressing the touchpad when my current notebook was new, and in particular the moment when I looked at the notebook and just stopped doing anything at all on it in conditioned anticipation of a frustrating experience. Also, kinetic scroll doesn't seem to work, amplifying the issue.

I noticed Ubuntu have switched to KDE (or, alternatively, LXDE) as DE for their "Studio" variant. I'm guessing that's mostly because the minimal window decorations for resizing etc makes gnome hard to use, and Studio is for large notebooks or desktops anyway. I think the exercise of patience that was resizing windows on gnome2 has slightly improved, but I'm still speechless as to the loss of the global menu to be replaced by ... a centered clock accompanied by a minimal dot that I found out to display notifications after a while, and nothing else.

I mean I'm glad that F/OSS for desktops still exists at all, but gnome3 is really just a big regression for no reason at all, and I'm starting to get a bit concerned where gnome is heading. It's not that we have a wealth of new desktop apps anyway. Maybe Ubuntu is testing the waters to switch to KDE as well.

In his code after "and now we apply flow fields and try to move these points", the code is errant. It will produce errors if you try to run it.

The variable "h" in draw() should be changed to "t".
As I said, toe to toe. The M1 and the 5950X are both clearly ahead of the Intel parts and they trade first and second place between them. On the aggregate graph (the last one on the page), you can see that the 5950x is ahead on integer workloads while the M1 is ahead on floating point. You will notice this is exactly what I said.

>using up to seven times more power.

Power efficiency is where the M1 definitely wins. It is among the best on the planet for single-threaded performance and definitely the best for efficiency.

Your 7x figure, however, is not accurate. You are comparing TDP. That is the wrong number. TDP is calculated differently by each manufacturer. It relates to how big a CPU cooler you will need to ensure the CPU never throttles to avoid overheating, not to how long your battery will last.

Take a look at the following, in particular the big black-and-green-and-red charts in the middle of the page:

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16214/amd-zen-3-ryzen-deep-di...

(Those are desktop parts. I'd obviously like to compare mobile ones, but I am not familiar with AMD's mobile lineup and there are no Zen 3 mobile parts. They'll still help make my point.)

Note that the power draw at idle (where the CPU will spend most of its time) is 10-20 watts for all these CPUs. This would be lower for mobile Ryzen parts, of course. This is the big advantage of the M1: with its big.LITTLE architecture, it will be able to shut down the big cores entirely and use vastly less power than any x86 part at idle.

Note that the power draw at 100% usage is higher than the stated TDP. The CPU can draw more power than it says on the box if the system detects it has adequate thermal headroom. It will also draw less power, even at 100% usage, if it starts getting too hot or if the user chooses to lower the TDP.

Note that the power consumption varies with the number of cores that are active, but that this relationship is nothing close to linear. A CPU can hit its peak power at a small fraction of maximum load, but performance will continue to scale all the way to maximum load. The big chips are more efficient than the small ones when both are fully loaded.

You can't just say "a chip with N times the TDP draws N times more power". The two parts will draw different amounts of power and have different efficiency tradeoffs depending on how they are used.

What, then, is the correct metric? I don't know of a single number that tells the whole story. I can tell you that the M1 is efficient both at idle and under load. I will make no effort to quantify how efficient it is other than to say TDP is irrelevant.
Wow that's cool thanks for that link will check that out
so you’d support them say banning anyone who supports bernie sanders? that’s also a physical threat, not a political idea. so don’t get your point
Looking over those PH.D thesis pages... something to note:

* codeword = data * generator_matrix

* codeword * check_matrix = 0_vector

* senseword = codeword + error_vector

* senseword * check_matrix = syndrome_vector

(Yeah, this field likes "horizontal" data vectors. Its weird but you get used to it...)

------

The job of error correction is usually to convert sensewords back into data. Sensewords represent "what the receiver sensed". If no errors occurred, its usually very easy to convert sensewords back into data... but if an error occurred, then you must calculate the syndromes and then figure out a methodology to correct the errors.

Coding schemes set up the matrix in different ways. It seems like Vertibi Algorithm has a graphical representation of the matrix, or something... I still don't understand it but hopefully this post of mine can give you a leg up in understanding what's going on.
we absolutely need to do all of that. but when i talk my parlerish side of the family it usually starts with them saying “if we hadn’t ended segregation we wouldn’t have these problems” and i don’t know what path to take from there

One could argue this is not reprisal and more of "no shoes no shirt no service." These people aren't providing Parlor services for free. They are doing it as part of a mutual partnership to profit, and if they choose to no longer benfit/profit off of the business shouldn't they have the right? I mean, Apple supports many progressive initiatives like equal rights campaigns, and that is part of the brand. Shouldn't Apple be allowed to maintain that brand image? Supporting a company that is antithetical to that brand image may be a move that ultimately increases their shareholder value for all one knows.

Take Fox News as an example. They're not going to allow their platform to be used for liberal propaganda, and most likely also vet any advertisers. They aren't expected to just allow any content to be broadcast.

I guess a devil's advocate viewpoint could be that some of these services are platforms, but then again the reasons given for some of these bans aren't necessarily strictly political.

One of the highlights of reading The Art of Computer Programming (TAOCP) is the small historical lessons sprinkled in the text. Truth be told they're usually the main thing I understand. Sometimes I wish Knuth would just write a history book on computing. He has such a unique perspective as both a leader of the field and a great historian of it. Of course at this point he probably shouldn't have any distractions from TAOCP.
