It took a lot for me to give up trusty ol’ Photoshop for design. I pretty much built my career playing with and learning Photoshop. But they were years behind Sketch and then named their competitor “XD”.

What a terrible name. App didn’t seem great either. And I really really hate the whole Creative Cloud licensing thing that’s always running in my menubar as well as their strange bundle pricing.

In the meantime, Figma quietly came along and somehow built a web app that had such good collaboration and sign up/licensing that it somehow makes me OK with using a web app.
Most of those comments are / were vitriolic. Basically attacking Prince Philip because of status rather than any legitimate criticism of him as a person. I'd guess this is why - it's not facebook.
Conservation of momentum. All of the teeny little bits of the two colliding objects still have the exact same average momentum of the two original objects, now there are just hundreds of thousands of them flying off in slightly different directions. The movie Gravity actually gives a fairly good, if overly dramatized, example of what happens when objects collide in space.

> I'm just really not interested in upsetting my employer.

This is the purpose of a union! Because you band together, the employer can't punish you individually. Sure they might be able to fire/replace everyone, but without a union they could target you specifically and there would be no leverage or help.
Are they ?

You gotta be kidding me... this "Centre for Union Facts" is a 501(c) doesn't disclose it's donors. I'd bet dollars to donuts it's funded by businesses like Amazon and Walmart to do in their employees who want to collectively bargain. Probably a terribly biased source, for anyone who wants the real facts about unions.
Who is next in line to the throne? Breaking down the royal family tree
As others noted in the other thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26736285), the correct action here would be a punitive fine by FTC or FCC for 1) the size of the leak and 2) that FB is refusing to notify impacted users.

Something to the tune of $30-50B, to also send a clear message to all other companies. In this case, FB appears to have sat idle since previous $5B fine for the Cambridge Analytica fiasco. So 10X that previous fine would seem appropriate.

Long term, holding the leaders and board of companies criminally liable for user PII and data leaks (similar to SOX compliance) might be the best solution. The reality, however, is that no such regulation will occur and companies like FB can continue to lackadaisically treat user privacy and data security.
"paying for all the extra software" Are you referring to the productivity suite (Pages, Keynote, etc.) and GarageBand? These are apps that haven't seen significant new features in years, just occasional patches for OS requirements and a bit of iCloud functionality.

These apps are functionally "complete." I think there's a pretty grey line between "you're paying for bundled software" and "Apple is just giving away these old things that cost them nothing to keep functional."

If you had a peek at the spreadsheet that lists the expenses of "macbook" (materials, TSMC fees, industrial design man-hours, OS programming hours, etc.), "Pages" would not be a $50 line item. And if Apple dropped that bundled software Macbooks wouldn't drop by $200 or whatever.
I'm feeling nostalgic. Anyone who has developed something for the internet in the early 2000s for sure have downloaded something from Apache website (e.g. Apache httpd which most people simply call "Apache", and Tomcat). Many products in the Attic were born during the golden age of Java.
Which lead to a pretty magical moment for me as a kid. Turns out it’s trivial to write a HyperCard program that opens another HyperCard stack and extract its source code.

Imagine the look on our faces when my best friend and I tried this... and ended up getting the full source code to Myst in plain text. They didn’t even try to obscure it.

It really DeMystified (heheh) the act of professional development. They had used the exact same tools that I was proficient in to build something as meaningful and impactful as Myst, which literally changed the gaming world.
The current tracking infrastructure detects pieces down to 10cm. All of those are catalogued, get identification numbers, and are tracked.

I only own a couple of DosBox games (Duke 3D, Ultima: Worlds of Adventure 2: Martian Dreams), and whilst both include the source on Windows (dosbox-0.74-2.1.tar.gz), I can't find any manuals that look out of place.

The DMG for the Mac version of Duke 3D doesn't appear to include the source or a Harvester manual, though it seems to be based on Boxer, not just DosBox. The Mac PKG for Ultima does have the source (dosbox_svn.zip), but no (edit: out of place) manuals as far as I can tell.

I wonder if the Harvester manual you're seeing is a GoG artifact from reusing the same DosBox setup as Harvester and they forgot to remove it, as the source from Ultima includes a file called "harvester_mouse_clean.diff".
You can put a video on a page without js, but a lot of your customers would have a poor experience.
That might lead to an undesired response. When car alarms were novel, I wanted to make mine speak different phrases. Well, that can cause attention to be brought to the car as people will want to see what else it would say. The same could be said for the box if indicated its displeasure with being handled roughly.
Right, isn't this not a Zero Day specifically because it's not known to be exploited out in the wild. How can it be, no one else knows what the vuln is. It is being reported as part of a bug bounty with 90 day disclosure just like anything else would be.

Something that you sometimes see is developers offering a bundle that includes v1 and v2 of an app where the price is (v1 cost + "upgrade fee"), which is automatically discounted to just the upgrade fee. This definitely works on iOS, so I figure it would also work on macOS.

Truly end of an era. Imagine the things that have come to life in the century that he was alive. Transistors, home air conditioning, laptops/PCs, jet engines...

A2DP doesn't work simultaneously with HFP (i.e. "with the (bluetooth) mic on"). That's not Linux limitation, that's Bluetooth limitation and other OSes - Android, MacOS, iOS, Windows - behave exactly the same.

One solution is getting a wired mic.
NCSA was using regional DNS for load balancing in '95. I don't know who invented it but it's at least 25 years old.
Put quite simply - the energy doesn't go into destroying objects. There's only a very small amount going into heating things up from mechanical deformation [and a bit into spinning], but fundamentally, splitting something in a million pieces just means you have a million pieces that have the same total kinetic energy in orbit.

However, they also exchange kinetic energy & impulse with each other, meaning you get a mix of slower and faster pieces. This is what the Gabbard diagram shows:

https://twitter.com/EU_SST/status/1380443036862316545

Anything that is sped up in the collision (i.e. "steals" energy from another piece) has the same perigee (orbit low point) but a higher apogee (orbit high point.) The reverse happens to anything slowed down / stolen from. That's why the graph looks like open scissors.

Some pieces with lower perigee will friction against earth atmosphere and burn up, but the ones with higher apogee become a serious problem...

(also, for anyone who can't remember to distinguish apogee & perigee: think of your periphery, it's the things close to you :D)

Now I'm confused.

I thought you meant split the infra pieces into different software components (process, machine, etc.), not split them by domain. Can you give an example, and why it's good to split by domain?

If a union pushes improved working conditions, and the reduction of hours, this could have a substantially negative pay impact on the Amazon workers there.

Given overtime laws, and the premium pay for overtime (1.5), a valid concern may be unionization will eliminate the lucrative overtime that is highly rewarding to peak performers willing to put in long hours.
Same. The whole interface is god awful. And it almost always dishonors my OS audio input/output preferences by default. The web client always downgrades my camera resolution for some reason, and messes up its aspect ratio. Plus the security problems.
It was! The guy with the implant did his undergrad in nanotechnology and had pretty much became an expert in BMI stuff so they were a very cohesive team. They had a lot of funny stories too - like when they accidentally put the mind control monkeys in the cage with the cocaine addiction research monkeys and got to see how cocaine affected the brain interface (it didn’t).
There's an asymmetry that shows up once you start doing things that rewrite the history/order.

A snapshot style commit, like git uses, always denotes a complete state. Git creates the diff it needs on demand in relation to this, and any new commit created by cherry picking, rebasing, etc, is given a new identity specific to it's content.

On the other hand, in a diff based system, the meaning of a diff changes based on its neighbors. This is because a line based diff is a flawed way of representing the logical operations we're doing. This is why git style systems tend to see less conflicts than diff based systems.

I was a darcs user for personal stuff before git appeared, and ultimately in comparing the two I've come to see git as the right model due to this asymmetry. If we had editors that exposed logical/semantic operations, then the Theory of Patches approach would be extremely impressive. But that also would rewire our version control system to be language aware, so probably a non starter as a generic tool for developers.

I'm a hobbyist photographer, and I use Lightroom quite a bit. I purchased Lightroom 4.0 back in 2013, and it has been worth every penny, but now I'm stuck on version 4.0 forever because I refuse to pay a never-ending monthly fee for software that I use as an amateur.

I use Darktable now. It's an excellent open-source competitor, but it's not as good as Lightroom. I would gladly pay a few hundred dollars to buy a perpetual license for a new version.
Definitely, yes.

That's not how this works. Dedicated hardware for video games won't be on a general GPU anytimes soon. Neither will those problems that FPGA is solving when the matrices and properties of the calculation are massively parallel and static (or pseudo static require little change). Same with lidar processing or numerous other end uses. Dedicated hardware (in the form of FPGA's and ASICS) is everywhere.
A lot of the debris won't stay in the same orbit. It'll be like a mini-explosion, spraying out debris in every direction, but then add the existing velocity to that. So yes, the debris will be in another orbit. The question is, how much of a change occurs.

In the twitter thread, there is a Gabbard diagram that shows a prediction of the orbits that the pieces will end up in. The satellites currently have a reasonably circular orbit, with apogee (highest point) and perigee (lowest point) about 800km. After the collision, the apogee is likely to be higher and the perigee is likely to be lower, so the orbits won't be circular any more.

The way this happens is - if the debris piece is knocked directly backwards, then its apogee will be about the same, but its perigee will be lower. If it is knocked forwards (yes, that can happen), then the apogee will be raised, and the perigee will be about the same, and the piece could remain in orbit for a long time. If it is knocked up or down, then both the perigee will be lowered and the apogee will be raised. If the perigee is low enough, then the pieces will scrape through the upper levels of the atmosphere, and de-orbit eventually.

It looks like the prediction is for the lowest perigee to be about 200km. It may take a long time for even those pieces to de-orbit.
Having to download and use an executable at all is ridiculous and half the reason they have so many security problems.
Unions in the EU have very different rules than unions in the US. In particular, American unions can essentially force an employer to become a "closed shop" through a majority vote. Everyone who works there then has to pay union dues and accept a union contract. EU unions involve more worker choice.
I personally enjoyed the flexibility of the "at-will" job.

I grabbed a position at a Minnesota warehouse as a post-college graduate with no fulltime job. Kinda just wandered in off some job posting online and they just brought me on.

Feels like people just don't want to mess with a good thing tho? A lot of my friends came from super different walks of life, but almost all unanimously enjoyed coming in for shifts and shooting the shit with their friends. Might just be a perception that change means that things will get worse and no one wants that.

The data would be nice, but it seems like this would have a chilling effect on the vote itself. The extra context of a justification would make it easier to tie votes to groups or even individuals. I'm not sure why, but polls as a separate, voluntary activity seem like a safer way to do it.
I totally messed things up, minidiscs were optical discs and `MiniDiscs use rewritable magneto-optical storage to store the data. Unlike the DCC or the analog Compact Cassette, the disc is a random-access medium, making seek time very fast.`

It is "right to work" and I do not see how it is insane to not _force_ people to join unions. In the US we take our freedoms of association seriously and forcing a citizen to associate with an organization they do not wish to associate with is tantamount to an unconstitutionality.

Me personally is anti-monopoly.

If a union can only operate by forming a workforce monopoly - something is wrong with the model itself.
A rational market would be choosing an asset that offers value storage and transmission (between points in spacetime) according to criteria: "security" (security theater, infosec, cryptologic competency assessment, software assurances), "future stability" (future switching costs), and "cost".

The externalities of energy production are what must be overcome if we are to be able to withstand wasteful overconsumption of electricity. Eventually, we could all have free clean energy and no lightsabers, right?

So, we do need to minimize wasteful overconsumption. Define wasteful in terms of USD/kWHr (irregardless of industry)? In terms of behavioral economics, why are they behaving that way when there are alternatives that cost <$0.01/tx and a fairly-aggregated comprehensive n kWhr of electricity?

TIL about these guys, who are deciding to somewhat-responsibly self-regulate in the interest of long-term environmental sustainability for all of the land: "Crypto Climate Accord". https://cryptoclimate.org/

"Crypto Climate Accord Launches to Decarbonize Cryptocurrency Industry Brings together the likes of CoinShares, ConsenSys, Ripple, and the UNFCCC Climate Champions to lead sustainability in blockchain and crypto" (2021)
https://bit.ly/CryptoClimateAccord

> What are the objectives of the Crypto Climate Accord?
The Accord’s overall objective is to decarbonize the global crypto industry. There are three provisional objectives to be finalized in partnership with Accord supporters:

> - Enable all of the world’s blockchains to be powered by 100% renewables by the 2025 UNFCCC COP Conference

> - Develop an open-source accounting standard for measuring emissions from the cryptocurrency industry

> - Achieve net-zero emissions for the entire crypto industry, including all business operations beyond blockchains and retroactive emissions, by 2040

Similar to the Paris Agreement (2015), stakeholders appear to be setting their own targets for sustainability in accordance with the Crypto Climate Accord (2021). https://cryptoclimate.org/accord/

Someone who's not in renewables could launch e.g. a "Satoshi Nakamoto Clean Energy Fund: SNCEF" to receive donations from e.g. hash pools and connect nonprofits with sustainability managed renewables. How many SNCEFs did you give this year and why?

If Hypercard were so wonderful, then someone else would have made something similar and it would have went on to world domination. Instead, all we're left with are occasional posts on Hacker News about how wonderful Hypercard was, some adoring comments about the wonder of Hypercard, and some fan websites. Then it falls back into obscurity - or, possibly, there are indeed Hypercard clones available, but they don't inspire the same nostalgia.

Geeks keep all sort of obscure things alive - GNU Emacs, OpenTTD, ReactOS. Either there are indeed Hypercard-like things out there, or this really is nothing more than nostalgia.
Agreed. The conclusion of the article feels pretty unsupported, especially considering that AppleTalk still survives to this day.
Ah, there is no method.

With S3 you can create file lifecycles that will move them to cheaper storage and eventually delete them.

You could potentially create two buckets. One for throw away pipeline builds, and another for when things graduate to something you want to keep.

But because it all hashed based, you would need something to read all that into a database. I am unaware of any tooling that does that today.

It's rich calling people using MIT stealing when it's clearly stated in the license terms.

It seems like the GPL people are a vocal minority who want to control what everyone else does with software, while patting themselves on the back about being "true contributors" while...generating much less actual software in practice.

Calling another community "impoverished" which is far larger and produces way more software is also rich.

I have a few German customers and I also get the impression that their unions seem to work.

It seems to be a result of multiple factors:

1. "Mitbestimmung" or co-determination. German workers elect the board of directors.

2. Labor reps vote alongside shareholders

3. Laborers in the same strata form "work councils" and choose reps to bring issues to managers or higher up the chain

4. "Betriebsverfassungsgesetz" federal laws giving workers the rights to form these work councils

The people i've spoken too (anecdotal, I know) don't seem to have the same hostility to the unions. It is just kinda accepted and "normal" that the union is going to be there so they seem to work with them instead of fighting them at every step.

Well, it's exactly the opposite - it is pointing out that rejecting the possibility of a unified theory borders on the religious because it requires the universe to have supernatural qualities.
