Yes, proprietary format import/export is on our roadmap. We have given priority to the feel-at-home experience rather than going for format compatibility. Also SVG posed many challenges. But yeah, I think we'd start with Figma, since it was the team knows best

No problem. Didn't say I had one. Just curious, wanted more information about why OP posted, what made their post special.

Still, didn't seem very novel or deep. Might as well have been someone posting their first timing circuit test, water/air tunnel simulation, or computer vision project. So, good for them. But I thought HN wasn't a glad handing cheerleader chorus.

Searching for Introduction to Markov Chains gets tons of hits at various levels of explanation that are nearly a decade old.
> I don't think this applies to the general population's understanding of inflation. The layman's interpretation would be "how much more expensive would it be today if I bought the exact same things 1/2/5/10 years ago". This is actually how inflation was measured up until the 90s.

The layman's interpretation of a lot of things isn't right or useful - just ask antivaxxers. As our standards for what luxury is change, what we're willing to pay for them (in the supply and demand sense) changes.

Things that used to be "poor-mans food" like lobster and caviar are now high-end food. Monkfish, oysters, foie gras. Even sushi was street food. Skirt steak was crap meat! Now they're incredibly expensive. Is that inflation? Of course not, that's a change in tastes.

Similarly, spices like clove, nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper used to be hugely expensive but are now dirt cheap. Is that deflation? Of course not, that's a change in productivity and availability.

The fact that the basket wasn't adjusted seems like a huge oversight to me.

> The result? Population on food stamp in the US rose from ~6% in 2001 to ~15% in 2017, while unemployment rate and wages stayed the same.

This is a completely unfounded leap. You have not presented any evidence for a cause-effect relationship, just simply asserted it. Correlation is not causation.

This is a social policy issue and not a monetary policy issue. Even if we pretend for a second that the situation was exacerbated by monetary policy, it doesn't matter - it's still a social policy issue to resolve.

> People have learned that the 2% inflation (of a fixed basket) is nothing to worry about in the past. The same measurement would now yield a 10% inflation rate which is unprecedented and worrisome.

Sure only if you ignore that that's not how inflation is calculated and for a good reason.
First of all, condolences on this difficult situation. I'm afraid you won't find the best news here, though.

> My performance never dropped, only my communication.

Unfortunately, your communication is part of your performance as a remote employee. If your communication with them diminished to the point that they were unable to communicate with you as necessary to complete your job, that's grounds for dismissal. If you continued to write and submit code while failing to acknowledge communications from the company, you may have demonstrated that you were capable of working yet avoiding communication, which is part of your job.

While I'm very sorry for your situation and I can empathize with your struggle, I have to be blunt: It's not clear that you have a valid standing here.

For future reference, any sudden absences should be communicated to your employer ASAP. You don't need to provide details. If necessary, you can have a family member send a short communication (don't provide any medical details, just explain that you are unavailable due to medical emergency) to your employer.

I would also recommend that you read up on what constitutes reasonable accommodations under the ADA. Be wary of internet sources, as this is a nuanced topic. Generally, though, these situations are more appropriate for taking leave under FMLA.

> If you know a lawyer that can help me

Again, please be careful. While it's tempting to pursue legal action, it may cost you more time and energy than you can spare to fight a battle that you are, frankly, likely to lose under the circumstances. Unless you can identify a specific legal violation (not conjecture about their motives) while covering all of your bases, it's better to focus your limited energy on returning to good health and moving on.
> ... news, the moment it is reported, immediately loses all economic value ...

That sounds like a critical error. News has been transitioning to subscription based patronage and pay to release models. In the current environment any interest especially including popular articles generates value in potential additional coverage and follow up pieces. The key thing to remember is that the value is no longer in distribution but in new features such as influence over what subjects are covered and special features like live on location interviews. Now that distribution is free patronage, influence, and specials are what generate value.
GPL software is the foundation of the privacy unfriendly platforms we now have. Facebook runs on Linux, Google runs on Linux.

Having Linux available made it much more cost effective to store data and do computation on the server, instead of the user’s device.

You think Facebook would exist if it had to buy per CPU licenses of Windows NT Advanced server?

Frankly, we would have been better off in the Microsoft world of individual PCs running proprietary applications on the computer the user owned. Because it ran on your system, you had defacto control over what it did, and if you really wanted to, could reverse engineer and patch it (witness game hacks, and what Microsoft did for backwards compatibility).

Now thanks to the economics of GPL software such as Linux, we are being pushed to a model where all data is stored and computed with on servers you don’t own.
> Probably there are some somewhere. But most rely on completely unsustainable practices.

In what way are the practices unsustainable? Could you give me an example?
I agree with you in principle, but in US politics gun rights have unfortunately been lumped on "the right" (see: lack of 2020 Democratic primary candidates not supporting an AWB), so I thought it was worth pointing out that particular blip.
If it ain't broke...

Having a common entrypoint into the kernel we can hook into is fairly valuable IMO, especially when said interface is for the most part stable between all unx (and to a somewhat lesser extent even on Windows).

Having this lowest common denominator ABI makes interop relatively* painless. But clearly Go wants to eat the world and doesn't seem to care very deeply about this. I suppose it's a valid approach, even if I don't necessarily agree with it.
Kind of. But it really depends on your relationship and agreement with your prime broker.
I just checked and the iPhone X has a height of 812px. It has a width of 375px. The regular iPad has a width of 768px, and the iPad Pro has a width of 1024px. So you could be right about them trying to capture all tablets, though a hamburger menu on the enormous iPad Pro sounds just as ridiculous as it does on a vertical monitor
> Proprietary software, also called nonfree software, means software that doesn't respect users' freedom and community.

Proprietary software is generally just referred to as "Software".

Also known as the stuff that makes phones ring, cars start, satellites communicate, banks able to track money, grocery stores track how many bananas they have, airplanes not collide...

Fundamentally software makes the world go around, and a huge chunk of it is proprietary.
The bots are on this platform as well.
Examples?

IMHO they probably should if they're this basic.
And yet there are still thousands and thousands of employment discrimination cases every year, even though people doing the discriminating aren't saying "fuck the ADA" while they do it.
Amazon game studio is struggling the same, so it’s not totally put of place this time. However:

FWIW, Stadia the console is an amazing product. It rendered useless buying a console in theory.

If any Stadia team member is reading: I want to work with you in this amazing project.

Unfortunately you need to have games on a console if you don’t want to make games (making them even at loss benefitted stadia image nonetheless) you need to license them and this is the turning point: you need a stronger acquisition strategy.
> I have yet to find a single open source project that is user-facing (i.e. not a compiler, etc), not funded & developed/driven by a major corporation and providing a good USER EXPERIENCE.

Free software developed by a major corporation is still free software. It may not use the open-source development model, but it's still free software.

Frankly, I'd point to where you say so yourself:

> Not every new interface will work equally well on old hardware, but that doesn't mean that the interface has deteriorated.

Apple is well-known for long support periods on mobile, and 5 years is not, in my eyes, an old computer that ought to be replaced. And so if the interface doesn't work as well on the authors supported hardware, then I think we can agree the interface has objectively deteriorated.
The insides, thank deities, would stay pretty much the same or even better (safer). If you opened the bonnet, you'd be in tears about how solid and sound everything is. You'd need to figure out where the doors are, though, and why some son of a gun decided that the steering wheel should protrude from the ceiling.

Asking the manufacturer would open the flood gates about how ungrateful you are about all the years put into designing the thing, and how other options were "confusing" to drivers, although said drivers should clearly be of some extraterrestrial species with a different set of sensory organs and appendages.

Do you know anything about their specific situation or are you undoubtedly just speculating here? Because speculation on this topic isn't a great look.
I read you as saying that (indefinite) naked short selling should be allowed, meaning that the buyer doesn't get a share after 2 days, or ever.

I wonder what the value of short term naked short selling would even be? In that timeframe borrowing should not be very costly anyway? The GME shorts have been short way longer than 2 days.
It's Indian Rupees. For your reference, 1 Rupee = 0.014 United States Dollar
A lot of new shorts have also jumped in when the old ones left. The old shorts haven't necessarily bought back in, especially if they're running cautious after getting their faces ripped off.
Ryan, take your pills.
I think amount of physical games is declining in real terms, though. I actually buy a lot of them, as one of my weaknesses are portable console systems. I've noticed that new releases are much harder to find in general now; Limited Run's entire business model is based on the fact most smaller games are digital first or digital only.

Also no, the current decisions for the retail stores make me feel like they will lose a lot of goodwill if they transition. The stores barely keep any stock on hand at all, and are increasingly being emptied of goods. I'm legitimately worried they will shutter them all soon; 3 local gamestops where I live have closed in a year or two.
I would say that something you need to know about yourself by the time you reach your FIRE goals is what you want to do with the extra 10 hours a day once it's not working for a boss. Even if that means adding a couple years onto your plan.

Because if you know the answer to that question, many of those answers don't require a tier 1 market. And since you're doing it late in life, it might occur to you that if you move to the mecca of beer making or kayak building, you'll be competing with people who are way, way more experienced than you are. Maybe you want to live in a 'rising star' city of a 200-600 thousand people, where your relationship with the community can be more reciprocal, but you can still find a decent turkish coffee and bulgogi tacos. That place is going to be tons cheaper than where you are now.

Hi there, thanks for your answer!

> Disclaimer: I use both at work and prefer clojure.

Could you please elaborate? Just want to know how you use both at work! (i just can't really think of a 2021 scenario for CL, legacy code aside)

> I'm not sure what you mean.

Nothing at all, it was a typo. Swap SLIME with 'cl-lib, what i wanted to say what i wanted to say is that common lisp seems to have a certain level of compatibility in Emacs itself through this package, whether it is also feasible with Clojure, i ignore it

> I don't get the JVM hate. Sure, every platform has its issues, but the JVM is a highly tuned virtual machine that has decades of development behind it. It is cross platform. It is used for high performance projects as well. It has libraries for everything.

No no! It wasn't hate, i just stumble upon this article [1] and thought that the level of interactivity between CL and Clojure was clearly in favor of the former.

Sorry if I'm talking rubbish,I discovered the LISP ecosystem less than a week ago, CL and Clojure were just names before, all these dialects with all those implementations are confusing, because i don't have a clear overview!

Thank you again :)

"The Law" absolutely runs on "when did this piece of paper arrive at this location". I don't know about DCMA specifically, but yes, most cases where one actor claims another actor is doing something wrong require the reporter to follow specific steps or it's not valid.
Yes and when Neal was asked about Enoch during a speaking appearance, he noted that Enoch was one of the first people in the bible whose death wasn't recorded/noted. Apparently, most people early in the bible that were mentioned had both birth/death notated. At some point they stopped bothering with so many new parties introduced and he was one of (if not the) first to not have their story/death brought to a conclusion.
I used to work for a company that used to classify software as malware. The original definition is much closer to what is broadly accepted (at least by antivirus vendors). Much of what is classified as malware doesn't exploit anything other than the user's expectations.

The definition of malware is social construct, not a technical one, otherwise Powershell.exe would light up like a Christmas tree.

The only reasonable way to talk about malware is with respect to users' wishes and desires.

I'll note that AV vendors invented a "less bad" label, PUP, for less-destructive malware. That doesn't make it not malware though.

I'm very sorry this happened to you. In a moral perspective we can easily see why this should be illegal. But being a foreigner, a contractor, and dealing with an American company, you'll need to consult with a lawyer to navigate these waters.

This is our daily reminder that HR is not your friend. They will side with the company 100% of the time. They are the illusion of a union replacement, and they seriously need to be regulated.
Win 1200 us by collecting 500 gram
Police logs only seem easy to consume because they don't contain context. Context is prone to bias or intentional distortion, but it's still necessary for non-experts.

Does a recent spike in bar fights mean your town is in hard economic times, or was there a giant music festival nearby that attracted thousands of people? That influences whether I should worry the next time I go to the bar; if it's the economy, this will keep happening, but if it's the festival, we'll be fine once they leave. That context also helps me decide how to act on the information. Do I petition for downtown revitalization or for neighboring towns' police to help with events?

It's on the audience to demand good evidence to back up the context (e.g., did the guys in the fight recently lose their jobs or just came from the festival). That's hard, but I have yet to see another good way.
Personally, I'm not a fan of having a web site designer thousands of miles away from me just decide what font and text size I should be using to read their web site. Why not let the browser more easily control/override this? We already have PDF if your content truly needs pixel-perfect layout. Browsers have kind of dropped the ball. They're limiting user choice and slowly turning into desktop publishing platforms rather than being agents of the user.
We are definitely cheaper than API2PDF, no hard feelings. Do share your feedback. :D
The best vintage stuff certainly holds up. Decades ago, I found some speakers at a garage sale... Dynaco A25 something. Looked a bit crude. Hooked them up and... holy crap these sound good. Only later found out they're considered classics. I don't use them any more because decades of standing later caused the woofers to develop a voice coil rub, but these'll get fixed up by the right person some day and probably still used a century after they were manufactured.

Almost everything else has gotten better, or at least a lot cheaper and less trouble for comparable quality. But speakers haven't.

Mind you a lot of that old stuff was crap too.
They're not completely capricious. Laws don't operate under the confines of a strict propositional calculus: you don't follow strict axiomatic derivations to a contradiction and declare yourself finished. Instead, it operates generally on a basis that cases with facts in common should have the same decision (hence the name "common law"). And the law is written with this process in mind: if legislators don't like the judicial interpretation of their text, they can change it by changing the law.
There isn't.

But, what does work far more frequently is to get the solution robust early. The longer it gets put off, the more difficult doing it is, both in time, cost, users being requited to do things along the way to support it all.
retail traders literally injected money into them.
This was debunked pretty quickly -- it's not at all what happened.
light.co is also doing vehicular stereo vision: https://light.co/

The downsides of stereo are:

* range uncertainty grows quadratically with range

* range uncertainty is unbounded in the case of featureless surfaces or bad illumination

* range from stereo disparity depends on looking at very small differences between two images and may be much more adversely affected by weather (rain drops on the lens) compared to, say, lidar.
> The short sellers. They are short so they must buy the stock to close out their positions.

This is incorrect. Short sellers only need to close out their positions if:

1. They cannot maintain them. If they can raise funds ( which they did ) they can maintain the positions. In fact they are probably shorting more, short averaging up if they can get a locate. GME yesterday was on a hard to borrow not on non-borrowable list.

2. Their shares are called back.

GME looks like a crazy stock around 1998/1999 ADEP(?), I think, which went from sub 3 to over 75 two days before Thanksgiving peaking with a couple of trades over 97 followed by a quick crash into teens and a really slow side into pennies. Some of the short sellers covered by putting up classified ads buying stock certificates from the cause the short squeeze by asking to deliver the certificates crowd a few years later.
Fear mongering? Now you go to the other extreme.

What is malware? Is that browser toolbar your aunt has on ther internet explorer Malware? Probably yes.

Is a "Cleaner" Program that does effectively nothing except Phone home Malware? Probably Yes.

Is a software that does similar things behind your back without your knowledge, but that has some useful parts to it Malware? Maybe Yes?
That doesn't work for users though. I've used KDE since the 20th century and it has been pretty reliable. Kwin hasn't been shit. Maybe it's best to say Kwin + Wayland is shit, or Mutter + Wayland is shit.

But if Kwin & Mutter aren't quite shit when it was combined with X, but are shit when combined with Wayland, how does that shape perceptions of Wayland?
Tell us where the hobbyist distribution channels for iOS are, where you can "sideload". Apple never has, never will.
Yet again, wayland is the protocol. Wlroots based wayland compositors doesn’t support the nvidia created API, but gnome and as far as I know plasma on wayland both do so. So your statement is simply false that wayland can’t run on nvidia (proprietary. The open source version works everywhere).
My experience is that people rationalize what they want. If they want microservices then you're going to get microservices.

It's not all nefarious, I think if many of them truly _UNDERSTOOD_ the difficulties of microservices it would give them pause (there's a difference between knowing and understanding), but they want what they want, they're optimistic, and they tend to back into the reasoning afterwards.
maybe the outlier here, I didn't read the word "death" in a literal sense. To me it just came across as symbolic of crime, chaos, destruction, etc
You have no idea if these shorts were opened at $5, $50, or $350.
I've seen many engineers reach for a microservice architecture by default.

Why? Because they read HN, reddit and lots of blog posts, and thought that's how you do things now if you start from scratch, no legacy architecture to consider.

Not everyone thinks this way, but it's a frighteningly common thing.
