As an IntelliJ user since 2003 I've heard this comment from Eclipse users multiple times, and always been puzzled about it. I think there is an IntelliJ "problems view" or something like it.. but in my entire career I don't think I ever looked for it. I could run a build whenever I wanted to find out if things were broken in some way. When it came to refactoring, renames, etc, I felt empowered with IntelliJ to safely do those with their refactoring tools in way which Eclipse was a very slow follower.

I suspect there are two components to the Eclipse vs IntelliJ bias in folks. 1st is which IDE they used first, and like every editor war, this is all about habit and finding that the workflow you built around one tool doesn't fit another, and then the second is about which phase you adopted the tool in. IntelliJ was so far ahead of Eclipse in terms of pure usability and delightful advanced completion and refactoring features in the early days, but eventually Eclipse
- and other IDEs which will not be named - took inspiration from Jetbrains innovation to narrow the gap.

It looks like this has been available unofficially for a while: https://gist.github.com/teacupx/9393507ad6250429707f0318b04f...
Primarily it was about having a strongly typed and self-documenting API layer. I've tried writing Swagger/OpenAPI specs manually, using frameworks like TSOA or routing-controllers, but never found a solution I liked.

We're also working on an interactive web version of the app, as well as a chrome extension, so we'll have more clients soon.
Shouldn’t be flagged. This is super insightful into the inner workings of two companies.

Good on the manager for supporting their employee and good on Figma for not giving into these scare tactics. Only a shame that the email from sales didn’t come with a “we don’t plan to give in over this or pressure our employee” as the email itself seems like undue pressure.

Hope Sprinkr is forced to use lesser tools because their VP decided to make an ass out of themselves over an innocuous tweet.
Well, but then you'd be writing python. (and having to maintain python runtime environment, which tends to be much less stable than CL)
> remember to reflect upon whether you have are subconscious habits or biases that work against diversity in tech.

I find statements like these to be well meaning straight from the pulpit of a culture that finds cancellation or edits prefferable to new and better.

It's decline. Regression. It's looking at the present solely through the eyes of the past and a refusal to look an inch forward.

A word won't change the state. It's meta. The nub of the issue is that a black kid who might have an interest in computing has access to one, does he have that as a choice, and can anyone help or nudge him towards an academic pursuit in computing. That's where the work is.
> you are likely getting the best they can afford to give you for the price

Running fiber isn't really any more expensive than running copper, and they managed to afford to run the copper.
Interesting note: you can probably call your bank up and request that the disallow ACH withdrawals from your account if triggered by some third party.

You can still get ACH deposits. You can still use the bank's bill pay and they will send the payments over ACH (so you can push funds over ACH from the account). But someone else can't _pull_ funds over ACH from that account.

Certainly the banks I use have this as an option, and it's useful sometimes. As long as you remember and don't try to pull yourself from one of your other accounts, of course.
TIL Eclipse still exists. Honestly I hadn’t heard anything about it in years.

I know it has (had?) fans but for me it’s model of perspectives where your entire UI changes when something happens never gelled with me (YMMV).

I can recall many conversations by colleagues who were stuck in plug-in hell with Eclipse. Different Subversion (then git) plugins that didn’t quite work in different ways. That sort of thing.

For 15+ years I have been (and remain) an IntelliJ fan boy.
I feel exactly the opposite. These micro-optimizations at the individual level are never going to make a dent. Our time, energy, and money would be better spent on political organizing. The change has to be institutional and systemic.

See deeper discussion of this concept below:

did sun do the big wheels & beer at multiple conferences or was that just the oscon I happened upon? still have scars from that all haha. pro tip: ride facing backwards.
Huh? I know of precisely zero journals/conferences where Word is commonly used (in CS at least).
Intelligence is meta-adaptation - adaptation that allows you to adapt to environment changes on the fly (without wasting many generations for mutation and selection).

So, the evolutionary pressure must have been something that required adaptation within one generation - for hundreds of generations.

If the need for adaptation was a single big event - brains wouldn't have the time to evolve
- it would be easier to adapt directly. You don't need human-level intelligence to hunt big prey nor small prey.

The changes must have been frequent enough to be worth wasting calories on bigger and bigger brains and supporting them through the time when there were no changes to adapt to.

So I don't think overhunting was it. Every predator species deals with overhunting.
You can cherry pick single examples of inaccurate reporting from literally any media outlet. It would be far more useful to analyze which ones have a pattern of repeatedly publishing misinformation.
yeah dude, you are going way out on a limb there. But wait...you've done a whole lot of dissociative practices? So basically you're totally dissociated from reality? (to put things in your own words)

So again...why would I care?

edit: also, just in case anybody takes this charlatan at his word and does decide to read 'the mind illuminated' know that many of the author's followers demonstrate cult-like behavior, as well as disillusionment with his claims after it broke that he had been deceptive to his community about his sexual affairs.
My first and only interaction with Java was a short project. I installed Eclipse and had a prototype with GUI at the end of the day. I was an inexperienced programmer with zero Java experience at the start of the day, and I credit Eclipse with much of my onboarding.
This is probably a good thing. The more people that are disqualified from working for the US military-industrial complex, the smaller their talent pool becomes and the less effective they become over time.
Awesome to hear that. I'm so glad you loved the our idea and the product.

Would love to see a wall of love for Circles for Zoom. Btw big fan of what you are building!
Yeah, I'm guessing that's probably why people aren't migrating. When there's no easy upgrade path and not a compelling enough gain, people will want to stick with the previous technology.
I assume you're talking about the ELT. It's composed of something like 800 individual segments with their own position-adjusting actuators. I'm not intimately familiar with its construction (and the tolerances!), but I presume it would be possible to launch individual segments for space-based or moon-based construction...

The big, monolithic secondary mirror is entirely within Starship's payload volume (4.2m diameter) and mass (3.5 tonnes).

Bonus: Space-based radio astronomy will achieve much higher SNR!

Edit (since reply is slow): You probably benefit on your mass-related support structure costs due to the lower-gravity (or zero gravity) environments.
So what you're saying is that LaTeX is ConTeXt free?
What is their excuse for not having a transparent and accountable model for their censorship efforts?
You never named the people at these companies you trust to decide what is conspiracy and what is not. I'm sure you can recall many recent examples of the censors getting it wrong however.
Maybe if you just imitate everyone's quirks you will become master of the world.
I am the same way. I have always yearned to be one of those people who daily driver linux - but I have never been more productive than I am on macos.
Eclipse is amazing. The built in Java-compiler and the error-tolerant editor is so awesome.

There's been periods where it has been so buggy that it's been nearly unusable and just a very rough ride, but for the past few (three-four?) years, it just works.
> Bitcoin will never be used directly for payments, it's a value store. Immutable deflationary digital gold.

The usefulness of gold itself is questionable:

> There is nothing about their political stance that is socialist.

I don't know how anyone can make this statement with a straight face. What about ObamaCare?
I tend to get to a semi-deep, practical working knowledge of an area and stop there. I tend to know more about relational databases than my peers, nice ones like PostgreSQL and others like MySQL 5.7.

I'm really good at devouring a new subject area to find the boundaries of what there is to know, even as I don't understand it. Sometimes, terms or phrases will stick in my mind and at a later opportune moment become clear that it's what I need to use. Programming languages and ORMs are curious in how we seem to keep on using not such good ones.

I like to draw analogies from disparate subjects and apply some aspect of it to solve a problem. I often wondered if anyone is ever purely creative, and thought hard about a time when I had a truly original thought. I finally remembered that time in grade 7 math when I thought that Pi was dumb and that 2 Pi was more fundamental. My reasoning was (1) radius is more fundamental than diameter, (2) arc length of a circle. This was of course back in the late 70s before I'd ever heard of Tau.

I'm an expert in the Blub language and looking both ways from that vantage point.

Thank you so much. We feel the same way.
Chart in Fiddle doesn't show in safari, but a standalone page with the same html loads just fine. Fiddle doesn't properly support safari I guess.

"Whilst Microsoft Word is preferred we also accept LaTeX, or PDF format."

In general Word has eaten up everything that isn't hard core math.
Single men perpetrate every single act of injustice under the sun. It’s a single person who discriminates in interviews, discriminates, or Beat someone because of their skin color.
What you described is a speculative asset (and something with inherent value). I hate to trot out the tired tulip analogy, but there's a difference between an item that people need and use practically and something that they just think is great b/c they think other people believe in it.

THe gain is very compelling, but that's sort of the point.

This isn't like going from gif to png.

It's more like going from bmp to svg.
> Actually Java applications are kinda reasonable compromise

As are .NET applications. Yeah, most .NET desktop apps in the wild are technically chock full of Windowsisms, I've found that said apps more often than not Just Work(TM) on e.g. Linux w/ Mono, and alternative toolkits like Avalonia help further.
I use Eclipse CDT often. It's gotten gradually less painful and annoying over past years (and maybe I've done less to misconfigure it).
Not much.

I live a fairly simple life and try not to waste things. These things might be beneficial to the climate, but my main reason is that I'm cheap.
We are focused on peer-to-peer recommendations over influencers. It's the not the best platform for them since they can't directly earn money for the recommendations. I see a possibility of influencers using Chums and curating their favorite stuff on their profile but I don't see it being an influencer driven platform.
As someone without a lot of knowledge about that time in computing's history... so what happened? Is there a good place for me to go read up on this story?

Thanks!
I think Word is more common in humanities and medical fields. In science and math, LaTeX is still the standard.
Huh. It looks like "package" is the more general type and "bundle" is a more specific format. Even if "bundle" is what you were thinking of, it looks to me like the high-level description you gave matches "package"!

But I struggle to understand the criteria that a "package" must satisfy to qualify as a "bundle". According to your second link a bundle is "A directory with an internal structure specified by Core Foundation Bundle Services." So there's a finite list of bundle file types, maybe?
Thanks!

Finley sits in between debt investors and borrowers, but focused on the borrower side. We think that’s the key bottleneck to solve for since borrowers often have the bigger knowledge/technical gap. e.g. a fintech founder doesn't need capital markets expertise to discover a fantastic lending product. We do believe debt investors will be a major distribution source, since today debt investors often bear the burden of educating/managing first-time borrowers. Finley can take care of that for them.

We’re planning an API integration, but for our MVP have figured out regular data delivery processes with customers that work with their existing workflows (e.g. a cross-account s3 bucket). We’ve built pipelines from there to automate reports upon receiving that data.
The Rapid Software Testing course by James Bach is really good for teaching some metacognitive skills of this.

On a higher abstraction layer, iff you can filter for low-bullshit, some social justice stuff can indeed help someone master the main skills needed to spot diverse failure modes in different user stories. For example, this principle is useful: https://thingofthings.wordpress.com/2014/11/15/the-curb-cut-...
This was slightly glossed over in the article. The decisive responses to discovering unwanted content all depend on discovering it quite quickly. If encrypted Falun Gong or Disney content was added in 2017, and the key made public today, there are definitely fewer options available.
How do you learn how to write notes like this or is it natural?
The representation of my notes would be noise, but surprisingly I can find everything I want easily.
If I remember right, Slack's main application was PHP, now Hack, based, so I wouldn't be surprised to hear that app doesn't hold onto websocket connections itself - long-lived connections aren't historically PHP's wheelhouse
there's a ton of good tech here but tbh adoptability was difficult. tuples spaces, jini, &c are still bleeding edge tech, that can possibly do amazing things, but finding out how to marshal those capabilities has been non-straightforward, knowing to what ends to put the tech, for a decade+.

thin clients make hella sense, are still something I lust for linux being able to do well (they're not great many-user graphical desktop hosts now).

sun had great systems but the buy in was usually high. utility compute (aws) eschews that.
On Windows, in Microsoft's Chrome-based Edge browser, with the HEVC extension installed[1] (might not be required), I see 2160 when I run that command on the test video in that URL. Using an Nvidia graphics card hooked up via HDMI to a 4K TV in HDR mode, with HDCP 2.0 enabled according to the TV.

I've also had success streaming 4K using the Netflix app for Windows, as well as using Safari on a Mac. A 4K plan from Netflix is also required.

That said, when I tried to stream HBO Max or Disney+ in 4K HDR10 from the same web browser, I wasn't able to. Best I could get was 1080p, I think, for either. For those other services, I had to stream instead using my TV or set-top box to get full resolution and full HDR quality.

I downloaded Audacity for a project to do exactly what you described and it was very clunky. The method I ended up using was cutting the start of the track so the first few seconds were what I wanted to preview, then went through the process to ascertain parameters, remembered them, went back out to revert to the original audio track, then applied noise reduction with the parameters I'd settled on. Did not enjoy, but as you said, hard to pile on too much when you're getting a free ride.
Readers should reward new publisher that take the time to do research from primary sources and properly vet them, rather than be the first to publish a scoop. There ought to be a system that tracks and rates a publishers by their accuracy and retraction rate (and lack there of when proven wrong).
I've digitized 60 year old reel-to-reel tapes and made adjustments for 60Hz/50Hz differences solely with Audacity. Its value can't be overstated.
Yes! Kind-of! We want to take what's working from PDD and bring it to the US in a way that is more dialogue and discovery focused. We get a lot of our inspiration and conviction from them :)
Hiking with Nietzsche: On Becoming Who You Are
by John Kaag
I certainly think it's worth trying them. And I believe in trying anything three times before giving up.

I think the quirky information which you have to dig up is much more likely to be the "secret sauce" than the all-to-familiar stuff which almost everyone is doing.
How worried are you about “making it” as a “social media” sort of app? I always wonder how startups actually, y’know, get started with that initial user base. Any unique plan/ideas that you can publicly share?

Great website btw!
Anyone else instinctively click away from Vice articles? After their awesome North Korea reporting it got weird.
I started trading about 2 weeks ago. I researched enough to know I should avoid USDT. I see no reason to doubt BUSD at this time.

Are you going to explain what's wrong with the attestation?
“Don’t buy into this stupid thing, or you’re an idiot! This is going to zero!”

5 years later...

“It’s not fair that not enough people bought in. Now we have to ban it because the wrong people bought in!”
What is a bitcoin account?
Not as a primary use case, of course. But if somebody wants to buy exactly one cheap single-board computer, why should they be prevented from being able to watch "non-free" content on it (as long as the DRM required to play it is strictly optional and does not come preinstalled)?
ELT pretty much would require space manufacturing base - for the mass involved, you could probably furnish a small moon town.

The problem is that the ones making the mess aren't going to pay for that, and I shudder at the costs involved in just space assembly of something the size of ELT...

Edit to the slow reply ;) - the 400 tons is just the estimate zerodur mirror segments for the main mirror, nothing of the support structures... and didn't include ~65 tons of spare segments (ELT plans to replace two daily or something like that).
Love, Loss, and Adventure: The Ship Who Sang by Anne McCaffrey
"In the 1960s, a time when female voices were underrepresented in science fiction, Anne McCaffrey was an exception. McCaffrey’s most famous books were the Dragonriders of Pern series (currently the subject of a Tor.com reread led by the incomparable Mari Ness). But, while the subject of only six short tales, one of McCaffrey’s most memorable characters was Helva (also called XH-834), who became known throughout the galaxy (and science fiction fandom) as The Ship Who Sang.

In researching this article, I was surprised to find that the tales incorporated into McCaffrey’s The Ship Who Sang fit into a single, slim volume. While there were more books written with co-authors at a later date, McCaffrey wrote all of these initial tales alone, and while they are relatively few in number, they had a large impact. I encountered the first story in an anthology, early in my reading career, and others when they appeared in various magazines. The stories were memorable, and Helva was a sympathetic and compelling protagonist. I remembered them for years, long after I’d forgotten many of the other tales I read in that era. McCaffrey didn’t produce a large quantity of stories about Helva, but those she wrote were of the highest quality."
Regardless of whether you're running 6.8 release, have applied the official syspatches, or compiled your own system from sources (-stable or release + patches). The binary packages compiled from the -stable ports tree are supported on all of these. Out-of-the-box 6.8 will always prefer packages from the packages-stable directory. And you can absolutely always use sysupgrade(8) to upgrade to the next release or snapshot.

You do have some huge misunderstandings of -stable/-release terminology and how they apply to the base system. Especially with the introduction of binary syspatch(8). There is no longer any incentive to compiling the -stable sources yourself, as the distinction between -stable and -release + errata patches has largely been lost. In the past it might contain changes not worthy of an errata, for instance, but these days that would be exceedingly rare.

You're right, there's no -stable packages for chrome. Boo hoo. What you don't see are the lengths OpenBSD has gone to protect users of these gigantic pieces of software, such as the tight integration of pledge(2) and unveil(2) by default. Heavily restricting to entirely removing filesystem and network access for every unique process type. Leaving only access to the ~/Downloads directory.
It's an example of Google abusing their market power and deserves to be verified, reported and become part of the public record. Also cited in various washington committees of politicians who are tasked with examining and recommending ways of dealing with the issue or not. Obviously it's up to you what steps you wish to take, whether you feel like curbing that and other kinds of market power abuse by google for the good of the country is worthwhile and whether you have the documentation to even make a contribution at all.

Right now it's totally unsubstantiated and i wouldn't even bring it up in a discussion about Google market power abuse.

Up to you. That kind of choice kinda sucks if it is actually yours to make (ie you have the docs) both options have significant downside for you. I'm sorry it happened to you. I'm sorry you're in this position. Good luck with whatever you decide.
Agreed, and it's not just app developers that would benefit from regulation, it's also billions of users. Consumers will benefit greatly from the increased efficiencies and lowered costs that real competition in the app distribution market will bring.

Testing Machine Learning Systems: Code, Data and Models
No data is being collected by the possibility of installing a DRM plug-in, which I understood the grandparent comment to be in objection to.

Preinstalling the plug-in would be an entirely different matter for me, and I'd see the ethical concerns there.
