What the heck are you going on about? The Terminal uses UWP XAML, sure, but it's a Win32 app. I'm not sure how windowing on Windows is something that's the Terminal's responsibility to fix. The DPI scaling on the Terminal is something we actually worked quite hard on - people are quite passionate about the way the text looks on their PCs, especially if they have high DPI displays.

The Terminal launches pretty quickly. It could be better, it could always be better. But I certainly don't think that it's the highest priority issue we're tracking.

The settings UI has been of the most requested features for the Terminal since it launched. I'm happy to ship something that a large number of our users actually _do_ want.
I feel like you don't understand the definition of "peer to peer."

The fact that you require nodes to ultimate do the hosting of data does not make IPFS centralized.
Correct, I messed up the original country code.
This is exactly why they like Publons, it lets them take credit for their reviews.
Do you have any examples you can share where you've customized Storybook in this manner?

If I understand correctly, as opposed to loading your components in isolation in Storybook, you're providing them with a context similar to the actual app they're going to exist in?
Have you already forgot the russia collusion fiasco, and all the "not my president" talk. Heck, even crooked shillary said Trump was illegitimate and now you think this s*it is something new. Of course half of the US won't accept Biden since why would you accept someone who deeply hates you and your values.

I don't necessarily disagree with paying reviewers, but I think there is some value to having people who are actively working on problems in the same area being the ones doing the reviewing. Yes, it's additional work that we aren't paid for, but personally I enjoy it. I do agree though that for some it can create undue pressure so there may be something in the middle there that works well.

It seems people have difficulty falling in love with ideas, but they do fall in love with sports and personality cults!

To any thinking person the left-vs-right paradigm is beyond stupid, but yet, it keeps persisting, even worldwide.

Actually, the parties are themselves to blame, as wrong-thinkers gets weeded out or re-educated.
That would be difficult in a fields with a vast range of specializations (physics for sure). They would really need an army of reviewers to cover everything from astronomy to particle physics.

This was not what I expected. I expected the standard line about how the general public should trust scientists, and a fight for a greater role of scientists in decision-making.

It was a good read.

I think the pieces I would add are a clear understanding of the flaws of scientific processes:

* Circle of mutual adoration hiring processes

* Cursory-at-best peer review in many disciplines

* Impact over integrity in hiring

* Selection biases in science reporting (and more generally, the pay-per-click incentive structures places on games-of-telephone)

... and so on.

As well as a clearer understanding of how we go from hypothesis to fact. In many policy discussions, I see individual scientific papers cited which is a nonsense way to use science. One can find a paper which says anything and most results are false. That's still part of the process. Once a result has been poked at from enough directions, it becomes a theory and then an fact. Connecting the hypothetical process to empirical process would be awesome to see in schools.

You'd be surprised how many games up until recently used Flash (Scaleform GFx), and now in some cases HTML5 (edit: Coherent GT/Hummingbird/Gameface) content for game UI.

Rendering hundreds or thousands of meshes and doing complicated 3D math for physics is no problem, UI is still extremely hard and complex, especially if you are supporting multiple arbitrary resolutions for example.

Godot, for example, has a full UI toolkit built in (the Godot editor was made using Godot components). However to actually get it working the way you want in most cases is a horrendous struggle, a struggle with ratios, screen sizes, minimum and maximum UI control sizes, size/growth flags, and before it gets any more complicated please just throw me a Tailwind flex/grid box model instead, because HTML/CSS has solved these problems repeatedly already.
Apple Faces Another iPhone Lawsuit over 'Programmed Obsolescence'
Having used Teams, Zoom, Skype, Google Meet and Jitsi, I'm having a very hard time understanding why people go through the pain of Teams, Zoom or Skype.

Jitsi and Google Meet don't employ any dark patterns, they are fast, they are reliable, they are easy to use. (I do use them only in Chromium.)

Zoom desperately wants me to download their client, even going so far as to require multiple failed attempts before showing the button to join using the browser. Then it wants me to complete a CAPTCHA before letting me join. If I do use the client it opens several separate windows and asks if I want to join using desktop audio. (Of course I do, and if you still want to ask please keep it in the main window.)
The point is that if I want a can of sugar water (or aspartame) I can reliably find one. I'm unlikely to pop the tab and find kombucha or sand.

'Companies are out to make money' is not the debate trump card you seem to think it is. In fact the same view is embedded in my previous comment. The question is, given it's true what's the range of phenomena that result, what works well, what badly etc?
K8s surely is nowhere easy. Too many moving parts. Too much configuration. Very intimidating to say the least.
If CorelDRAW were installed on every phone and given same privileges, they’d use that. A new type of browser is like a social network – relatively easy to build one, insanely hard to get it adopted by everyone. The alternative is building for at least 4 different platforms, whose common denomination is usually either a non-barking dog or a vendor-locked monstrosity not even worth considering. And existing web browsers and committees are digging their heels in the status quo.
Sholud you pay a programmer for code reviews?
I feel like fiasco might be overstating it a little, but basically atom is incredibly slow and this is probably the main reason that it never overtook Sublime and friends in the same way the VS Code did.
Native UIs could be much, much better. They've been a neglected backwater for 20 years.

Blame OS vendors for refusing to get together to specify a cross-platform standard API for UIs. We have mostly standard APIs for networking, file I/O, even 3D graphics, but not for putting a window on the screen and putting buttons on it.

OS vendors are still trying to play the lock-in game by forcing everyone to write GUI apps for only their platform. This is a non-starter, so everyone goes to Electron.

There are a few third party cross-platform UI libraries around. They suck. Qt is as bloated as HTML-based UIs, and then there's wxWidgets which is ugly and has an awful API based on 1990s MSC.

We could have something better, but it's an extremely large and difficult project and nobody will fund it. OS vendors won't because they don't want cross platform (even though all developers and users do). Nobody else will because nobody pays for dev tools or building blocks. The market has been educated to believe that stuff should all be free-as-in-beer.
>I wonder what the OP means by "globalists" and "internationalists". Are there any other words that he or she could use in place of those? Hmm.

Globalism is still there but is also dying. The problem with rebranding efforts is that it makes the subject difficult. In essence globalism was a failed attempt to destroy borders and have no immigration as a subject. Have just 1 global government and only 1 set of laws.

The reason why globalism has essentially failed is because you can never in a million years do this without force. The country that doesn't go along with it becomes wealthy by not being it.

Globalization is the the antithesis of globalism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalism_(politics)

In terms of internationalism it's just another brand of socialism that failed. There's no need to use another word because it's correct. Nobody today goes by the term because it's dead as socialism is.
Still trying to figure out how Materialize differs from kSQL

Absolutely agree and I loathe the modern UI with passion, for the speed alone. I recently booted up a single-core 900 mhz desktop PC with Windows XP, and it was so fast to respond that it felt like it knew what I wanted even before I pressed the button. Inspiringly smooth man-machine synergy that is rare to come by these days. I'm an old man yelling at cloud.

The most interesting announcement is buried at the bottom:

In another break from industry practice, Volvo’s electric models will be sold exclusively online, bypassing dealers.
That argument really doesn't work. Most of those censors are needed in orbital rocket too.

Shuttle software was far more complex then Falcon 9 and it runs on 70s computers.

GPS is not really needed, its just there as a backup. Launching on a ship might be tricky, but on land you can target a pretty big landing area.

> advances in stuff like convex optimization and fluid dynamics make a real difference in practicality of doing so, both on the rocket and during design.

True, but if you do more iterations on first stages that you drop into the ocean anyway, you can build design and iterate.

Shuttle didn't fail because of they could figure out reentry conditions.

> There's also significant improvements in metallurgy that make it easier to do things like long-life turbopumps, carbon-fiber composites help with mass fraction,

SpaceX uses very little carbon fiber.

There is truth to the improvements in metallurgy but its not metal issue that caused the RS-25 to not work well in practice is not really the metal.

> CNC machining and additive manufacturing that make complicated parts affordable

While true, that makes the benefit of making it reusable even more worth it.

It seems to me that SpaceX simple had the right design and the right setup to test and iterate. There was nothing fundamentally stopping NASA from doing this instead of the Shuttle. Nobody else even tried to make a reusable rocket.

I would argue this could have been done in the 70s and it would have worked nearly as well.
Isn't that the whole point, that the service would make sure to upgrade the formats as needed, so it's always viewable?

As I come back to this again I guess here's what I think it's really about:

The implication that there's some correlation between how hard you work and poverty. But most poor people I know work way harder than most "professional" people I know. If there's a correlation, it seems to me to be the reverse, poor people are, by neccessity to survive, as a general rule hustling a lot harder than wealthier people.

As the OP actually kind of outlines.
I'm sorry you feel like someone waved a gun at you or held your accounts hostage but damn this comment is entitled. You are talking about a _free_ service that runs on physical and expensive servers. It even offers an easy way to export your entire account in a csv. They are not doing anything wrong here other than trying to stop burning cash.
Which version is this in? I'm on 1909 and there is still a link to the Sound Control Panel in the top right menu of the Sound Settings page.
Correct. But this is nothing new. Just as when the Jews were bowing down to the golden calf that Aaron made, they were not worshipping Jehovah, though they claimed to be.
I see, but I'm not convinced a web-tool is the best way to go about it if optimizing assembly is part of one's dayjob.

I do understand that it's nice to play with, and that it can have educational value. I would personally love to see WASM support, and a way to see e.g. LLVM intermediate code. But I'd want to see some more documentation on the website e.g. about the ABI so I know how the arguments of a function are passed in etc.
As long as this company would be around, they could keep the website up and running. That's the point of the service.
Ok that explains the teenagers’ equally poor comprehension of the situation, but, critically, it doesn’t explain the NYTs reverting to being a teenager when evaluating the exchange.

The NYT had previously examined the complaint and found it didn’t meet whatever criterium they had. Now all of a sudden they are become the teenager incapable of mature reason and discussion.
We (all sane people) want less nazism.

Branding everything as nazism does not help.

It is not a good thing if people go around thinking that their friendly republican neighbor or grandmother/grandfather is a nazi. It might lead some (who doesn't know better) to think nazism isn't that bad.

Besides, Nazism is a particular brand of evil and you fight them better if you learn the correct terminology, so it is a win-win (unless ones goal is to make the divide in American politics even wider by branding those at the other sites as the ugliest of all men.)

Also I haven't seen a single swastika or other NSDAP related flag on any republican event. Do you mean the confederate flag or something?
How we Upgrade a Live Datacenter
You do not pay additional VAT, you just pay the VAT of the country your customer is resident of instead of your own country. To do that you need to be registered in all EU countries and file VAT for each one of them.

There is an alternative for online services, etc called VAT MOSS[0], mainly meant for smaller sellers which allow you to keep paying VAT in your own country without registering in all of them but you still need to apply different VAT rates depending on your customer's country. Also you need to keep records of these transactions.

Steam (and other services... well actually even Steam uses an external service for this) handle that stuff for you and you only deal with Steam.

> For 5 bucks a month I run my own server with almost a dozen folks on it, which requires basically zero maintenance (I can count the number of times I've had to go in and restart it over the past two years on one hand).

Yes, but how much work was it to get set up in the first place? There's a reason that people pay for Wordpress subscriptions, even though you and I can set up static hosting off Gitlab pages (for example) for free. I do think the pricing is slightly steep but you can charge a premium for making it usable by the masses.
Yup. I think they're binning everything and replacing it with the new UI. It's just literally taking a decade.

The new UI seems to be very forward facing, I suspect that they're targeting everything with it: desktop, mobile, even AR/VR.
Finding Evil Go Packages
The ability to copy traffic history from one homeserver to another is a huge deal. I have not succeeded in discovering any details of this rollout. What server versions support it? Does it suffice to copy using one client, once, and then all clients see the result? Or, only after pointing those other clients at the new server? Do the other clients only see old traffic, after, until they are switched over, too?

How can I have more thsn one homeserver watched? Do I need to run N independent client apps (e.g. Element and Fluffychat), with each pointed at one homeserver?

It is very hard to find out any details of what is handled where in Matrix. Nobody in rooms devoted to services acknowledges questions, never mind answering any.
It's probably worth taking a step back and interrogating why the actual "Why was I Anti-TypeScript?" a little bit more and use it as an opportunity for broader self development.

It is. But unfortunately, most people are not willing to separate the concept of progress from something that is magically inherently good. Same as with evolution or agile development :-)

A trans person's identity isn't up for debate. You are insinuating that trans people are not human, which is abhorrent.

We already fought a war over this idea. Your side lost. Get over it.
Hear, hear!

And not only is the stack you describe full of delays, several of the layers are outside of the control of the software in question and can just… fail! Sure, there are cases where I need my software to communicate with the outside world, but I get furious when some page with text on it dies because somewhere in a datacenter some NIC failed and thus the shitty webapp I was viewing fell over.
> The big social media platforms tend to find themselves in hot water when something approaching "hate speech" trends on them. So they have a tendency to regulate that content away.
> The center and left in the US are normally not in favor of hate speech, while the right is more supportive of it.

The left is very supportive of hate speech, it just has to have the right target. There's abject, open racism against whites all day. Black people attacking Asian people is white supremacy nowadays.
You got downvoted to oblivion then [Dead]-ed. Maybe some mini-brigading going here? Anyway FWIW I vouched for your comment.
Well, is your PC workstation from your company? For various (many of them obsolete) reasons, companies load a ton of management crap on Windows systems. That software is not as available on MacOS, let alone Linux desktop, so they don't because they can't.

Right on. That's why, even though I have an insanely pretty Apple display (on the iMac Pro) I move more and more of my day work to the terminal. Those movie UIs are achievable.

On the contrary, I find the left/right spectrum a useful, if rather rough, guide to the landscape og political opinions. But of course, the devil is in the details, and you ignore them at your peril. I consider myself sort of left leaning, but I still think there are a whole lot of misguided ideas on the left, some of them flat out dangerous.
How likely do you realistically think it is that, in 1938, a city manager named Paul’s pronoun wasn’t “he”?

Maybe... It could be a sort of digital restoration?

It's not mentioned at all in the article though, which I found surprising. My first reaction was that I don't think storage is the only problem, maybe not even the most difficult problem.
Of course. Just using IPFS doesn't make other people interested in your content. But if you have interesting content it does mean that people will be likely to save it.

You can imagine that if YouTube hosted its videos on IPFS then popular channels would be widely pinned so that even if YouTube shut down and the channel author left most of the videos would still be accessible. And much unlike current HTTP mirrors you would be able to find out who is pinning it without having to check multiple archive sites. (Of course you need to know the hash, but remembering hashes is much lest costly than mirroring whole sites yourself so I think we would see lots of these)

I think that in most cases it is simplest to think of IPFS as torrents. I think the biggest improvement that IPFS made was a single namespace for content instead of each torrent basically being its own swarm. This means that you can find content no matter how it is packaged and you can share blocks between "torrents".
They want the first amendment repealed as they say it protects racists, homophobes and transphobes. They say that liberal free speech laws led to Trump and free speech should be curtailed for that reason. They openly say that they are opposed to free speech. I am trying to present their views as neutrally as I can, but this is what they say and support.
3500 packages uploaded to PyPI, pointing to a malicious URL
There are a few CPUs, for which the official assembly language is based on algebraic expressions: instructions look like "R1 = R2 * 4", or "R4 = R1 AND R3". See for example the SHARC instruction set: https://fayllar.org/sharc-instruction-set.html

Algebraic assembly is obviously a brilliant idea, yet so few assemblers have followed suit. I guess the tradition of cryptic mnemonics is too strong...
