When you can make a living telling stories about how awful the country you defected from is, it probably makes sense to embellish at least a few of them. It's not like anyone's going to be able to tell the awful and true ones apart from the awful and untrue ones.

If you're talking about the "USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter", the product page lists which Macbooks can do 4k60, and which can only do 1080p60/4k30. Those which can do 4k60 all support TB3, so I'm guessing it uses Thunderbolt to achieve this.
It's essentially flamebait.

> You don't understand blah, here's a quote!

is quickly followed by

> No, YOU don't understand blah, here's my quote!

It's not offensive, but it's a subtle bit of rhetorical judo to rile somebody up. And in a political thread that's probably going to get locked in 10 minutes anyway because it's got other flame wars going on.
Yes, but.. it doesn't seem completely a complete non-sequitur.

Thoughts about whataboutism: When you say "Y is basically just a mafia state who will do anything for money", there seems an unspoken premise "My country X is not like that/is better than that." And to someone to whom X is not better than Y in that respect, the initial claim sounds like "Y is evil because they have two legs", when X has two legs also. It sounds ignorantly hypocritical. How else to point out "Uh, but you also have two legs, although you're acting like you don't."? The problem wasn't that the first claim wasn't true, but that it was spoken in a hypocritical way, saying one party is bad for a reason which applies equally to the other party. And to someone to whom both parties seem to have the bad condition, before they can hear or really respond to the "Y is bad" claim, you really have to deal with—justify—your own unspoken premise of "My own country X doesn't do the bad thing."

Just saying "But X also does the same bad thing!" gets accused of whataboutism, as here. "Parent said nothing about X". True, not explicitly, but X appeared in the unspoken premises. Which loom large if you think one or more of them false.

I'm not sure what the solution is. I guess maybe saying "I think you have an unspoken premise, which seems false to me, that your country X doesn't do the bad thing you are accusing Y of" at least has a milder tone.
>There has strangely been a long-term dream of computer scientists to replace composition. To "spit out" songs as someone put it. It's usually too scary to ask ourselves "why?" because it usually is a game of validating one's own mind against others' impressions. For some reason, auto-composition seems like some kind of holy grail, but of what?! Saving money buying music? A fantasy of abundance? A kind of "gotcha!" that a pure thought-person has outwitted a silly irl composer? What do you actually get for creating an intelligence that wins a Turing test? You certainly don't get sweaty friends deliriously dancing on drugs at 3 am. You typically just get another social promotion in the direction of aiding greater powers at their control over the world. Is that what it's about? Closing ourselves off from human musical expression in exchange for increased financial standing? Get a job bc you proved you can fool some of them of the time? To validate a work ethic that regards music as frivolous by demonstrating that it can be simulated accurately enough?

To me, music is music, regardless of the creator. If it sounds good, it is good, whether it was composed by a human, a program, or a combination of the two.

If your issue is that this generative music doesn't sound sufficiently good compared to a good human producer/composer, then that's fine. The rest just feels like some kind of weird projection onto my post that I don't understand.

Computer-generated music is not at all considered an interesting goal for financial reasons. I don't even know what you're trying to mean by that. I think it's interesting because:

- It's one of the areas where the best humans still greatly outperform the best programs

- I believe computers do have the potential to one day create excellent, artistic music

I don't align with your view of experiences, passion, cost to an individual, etc. I think Beethoven's music would sound just as good regardless of if he were deaf or not deaf or a mass murderer or anything else. I think art stands on its own, with the backstory just as interesting trivia for those who want to know more about its creator.
I don't have any personal experience. I had adopted a cat that came with the house I moved into a few years ago, and she was one to roam the neighborhood. Out of curiosity, I wondered if there were products to do that kind of tracking, and yes there are. Some require a cloud type of service. Some require you to download the data. They all require getting the cat to wear the collar, and this one was not going to put up with that kind of domestication one bit.
Are you trying to learn to use Figma specifically? I think you can just pick it up and start using it pretty easily. Good design principles are ultimately tool-agnostic though.

- The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman is the classic for learning design.

- Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug is another classic, and very digestible.

- Refactoring UI is a good book for those coming from a developer perspective: https://refactoringui.com/book/

- Mismatch by Kat Holmes talks about the importance of inclusive design for both usability and innovation.

- Not a book, but Apple's Human Interface Guidelines are excellent: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline...

- Similarly, just try reading the design principles of companies with good design, like Shopify: https://polaris.shopify.com/experiences/crafting-admin

- If you're interested in building a design system, I would start with InVision's Design Systems Handbook: https://www.designbetter.co/design-systems-handbook

Ultimately, good design is informed by research - what is the problem you're trying to solve? What is the user's goal and how can you make that easy for them to achieve? What are you trying to communicate? Start with interviewing 5+ potential users, distilling that data into actionable opportunities, and sketching wireframes on paper before jumping into Figma.
Cool project! There used to be a really useful startup in this space, TradeWave, that would allow users to deploy their own custom code onto their platform and run it live against multiple exchanges. It also supported backtesting (testing your algorithm against historical data). Unfortunately, it seems like they were unable to find product market fit and since a few years ago their domain has been down.

I often wonder about the philosophy of making a trading bot. On one hand, you think that maybe by throwing enough brain power at the problem you might be able to crack the magical nut and print money from thin air. On the other hand, you know that millions of other incredibly talented and skilled people are also working on the same problem, and no one has really had much success such as to be notable.

On the third hand, it seems like common practice to use algorithms on Wall Street and in hedge funds, with many people claiming that the entire stock market is actually just 90%+ bot activity. So clearly it's possible to make money with bots, right? Otherwise nobody important would keep using them? I know that response time also matters with big firms spending billions of dollars just to be centimeters closer to the NYSE. But you can't just get rich from being faster than the next guy, can you? Don't you still have to be able to make all the right moves with the data coming in?

Maybe the secret trick is to become a hedge fund first, and then figure out how to make money later.

I worked as a trial consultant for a while and got to sit in trial. This is what struck me the most. The best trial lawyers I know are like actors, entertainers, celebrities -- they have the ability to publicly act towards witnesses and juries to evoke friendly, sad, likeable, dis-likeable, happy, angry emotions in a jury.

The money doesn't come from legal analysis at all; frankly many were not very bright on legal issues -- that's what second-chairs and legal experts are for. They all, without exception, were fantastically entertaining, funny, weird, charismatic people.

It's an important takeaway for life in general. The money follows people who are good at emotions.
The opposite -- I believe that the EU authorities acted unethically in covering their own asses, and this devalues their past & future statements.

Russia and China effectively approved vaccines with only phase II trial data. China didn't even have active cases (officially) and they vaccinated tens of millions of people with it, their own, Africans and Brazilians etc. Imagine if there had been side effects, it could have been a global disaster. (Recall the contaminated Cutter polio vax that had live polio in it. Or the SV40 problems. The UQ COVID candidate caused false positives for HIV. Various SARS-Cov1 vaccines caused bad/lethal side effects, see e.g. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41579-020-00462-y )

Being both too hasty (China) and too blame-averse (EU) seem to be ethical failings.
Something similar happens to me often with a Dell monitor and MacBook Pro over usb-c. What I need to do is after the monitor turns on at 30Hz, turn off the monitor (don’t touch cable) and then turn back on.

I know “have you tried turning it off and on” sounds ridiculous, but it always reliably brings me back to 60Hz.
There is an interesting book coming out later this year: "The Bias That Divides Us: The Science and Politics of Myside Thinking" by Keith E. Stanovich (applied psychology professor famous for his work on rationality)

Here is an article detailing the topic of the book.

I'm seeing this get worse in my own country for very different reasons. There is a profound lack of reasonable people that take a moderate position where the other side is not demonized.
> "Cost + Margin = Selling Price."

that's cost-plus pricing, and should be viewed as a relatively naive model that is no longer typically used for pricing. sophisticated pricing decisions are based on price elasticities to find the profit-maximizing price. apple is a notable example of a company that exhibits this type of pricing decision-making.

As always, don't let your coins sit on an exchange. If you don't have the keys, it's not your coins.
The fact that this is part of the main formula language and not some bolted-on things means that is it somewhat incremental. Apply more of the incremental data log type research, and this really could be something neat. (The "grid calculus" would seem to indicate better linear algebra and maybe even tensor things are on the way, too!

I hope this gets implemented in libreoffice too; I will certainly tell non-programmers to stop using python or whatever and go back to spreadsheets!
I'd recommend watching it before objecting to the content as a whole, as some of those objections are answered.

For instance, the quote about political faction being more divisive than race or religion was explicitly made to contrast the "bad old days" of Jim Crow or Catholic-bashing against today's society. Everyone can identify the hatred of those times, and pointing out that political identity is now more divisive than race/religion in their respective heydays really does show that political division is a problem (as opposed to just saying that political division is more prevalent than racial division which, as you mentioned, would be entirely expected.)
Perlin noise is comically easy to import, and it's better than value noise in pretty much every way. It's also not super hard to implement. It's like value noise but with vectors on the plane instead of scalars. There's a tiny bit more math to do, but it's not complicated. If you have done game engine development or linear algebra, it's right up your alley, but also not hard for the general programmer to implement with copy and paste.
Having worked on a John Deere integration for an agtech company I can't say I'm surprised. The MyJohnDeere API had a lot of idiosyncrasies that smelled like inexperienced or mismanaged development, especially around authentication/authorization.

At the time I was working on it they had some extremely arcane authentication process that required round-trip emails, various link clicking and code entering, and all kinds of craziness. Toward the end of my tenure our point of contact finally told us they were moving to OAuth but they had nearly zero documentation on it.

For anyone who isn't knowledgable in the farming space, I'd highly recommend a browse through John Deere's API documentation [0]. Before the agtech gig I hadn't really given it a second though, but modern farms are very high tech operations. Really cool stuff happening in agtech.

Uploaded to CADORS on Nov. 29, 2016, the TSB report describes a doughnut-like object “approximately 5 to 8 feet in diameter” that was “directly ahead on their flight path.” But instead of just “flying by” it, the TSB revealed the “captain overrode the autopilot in order to quickly descend the aircraft under the object.” The plane’s two flight attendants, who “were in the process of securing the cabin for arrival… received minor injuries when they were thrown into the cabin structure.” None of the 54 passengers were hurt.

"It is a property of the data itself," meaning, it's metadata. I'm in favor of preserving this metadata.

You will sometimes need to change the MIME type of something. For example, if you use a text editor to create an HTML file, you'll want to change the MIME type to text/html. It's also nice to be able to mark *.h files as containing C or C++ code.

> He specifically chose not to condemn riots

No, he explicitly did. Even in the full context of the famous "language of the unheard" quote it is clear he is criticizing both riots (as being counterproductive) and the conditions that led to them.

Here's a another quote from him:

> Let me say as I’ve always said, and I will always continue to say, that riots are socially destructive and self-defeating. I’m still convinced that nonviolence is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom and justice. I feel that violence will only create more social problems than they will solve. That in a real sense it is impracticable for the Negro to even think of mounting a violent revolution in the United States. So I will continue to condemn riots, and continue to say to my brothers and sisters that this is not the way. And continue to affirm that there is another way.

https://news.yahoo.com/no-martin-luther-king-not-193204120.h...

The seeming national debate that one either must be pro-riot or pro-status quo/"law and order" is another instance of unnecessary "culture war" divisiveness and one that Dr. King would have disagreed with.

We added a preview of the JPEG-XL encoder to https://squoosh.app (and WebPv2) so you can try it with your own images.

In my experience, AVIF tends to outperform JXL in most web use-cases. However, for cases where the image should be really high quality (where the image is core content, like Flickr or Unsplash), the winner is less clear. Also, at those kinds of sizes, JPEG-XL's progressive rendering becomes an important factor.

But seriously, there's so much hype around these image formats, the best thing to do is to test it with your own images and your own eyes.
I have Electrum open, with the "Coins" tab visible. I see a lengthy list of unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) which I am referring to as coins. These are coins that I have received. I can very easily craft a transaction with specific coins. I can select the coins that my friend Bob sent me last year and send those specific coins to my friend Dylan. https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-spend-specific-utxos-in-e...

Admittedly that link was a terrible example. Block Explorer only shows the address associated with the transaction input but if you want to see the origin of specific coins regardless of whether an address is being reused, you can get the information from the "list of inputs" field in the raw transaction.

In this overly contrived example with single input transactions, if Dylan wants to recurse up tx inputs to the tx between Bob and me in order to verify that he received some of the same coins, he can do the following:

uptx(){
curl -sS "https://api.blockcypher.com/v1/btc/main/txs/$1" | jq -r .inputs[0].prev_hash
}

uptx "$(uptx f57cd4acc4b67d819f78d6cd7f17d1dded436735a6c7765afe40269581d2098a)"

People who can’t afford a lawyer will have a public defender appointed. Virtually none of these cases involves expert testimony. My wife did a pro bono murder trial a couple of years ago. (If your case is at all interesting high end law firms will often represent you for free.) They showed the jury CCTV from all over the city literally following the accused from murder scene to his house. Just cutting from one camera to the other showing the jury exactly what happened after the murder.

Instead of recycling conventional wisdom, head over to your local federal court and sit in on some sentencing hearings (these are public). There will be a plea colloquy with the accused and the prosecutor will lay out all the supporting evidence. It’s quite eye opening.

He along with Stephen Baxter kinda nailed smartphone idea in their A Time Odyssey series book - tho, their device was far more "smart" as it was equipped with sophisticated AI rather than just a voice assistant.

Nice examples. Feedback for the author if they see this thread:

1) \S can be used instead of [^\s]. I haven't come across a regex flavor that supports \s but not \S. GNU grep supports \s and \S but doesn't support using them inside character classes.

2) For the first example, it is a weird mix of formatting for the code snippets. Rest of the examples are properly code formatted and specified without single quotes around the expression.

3) The fourth example uses variable length lookbehind, which isn't supported by Perl, Python (unless you use regex module), Ruby, etc. \K can be used instead if supported. Also, `<` at the start of the regex is a typo
This is a feature, not a bug.

The USB-IF is just a bunch of manufacturers getting together to agree on a standard. The vast majority of them are interested in one thing: lowering the BOM. Cheap, cheap, cheap! That's what matters. Making things super cheap means making lots of the spec optional so they can re-use existing chip designs, less expensive cables, etc.

If they can make things easier for customers that's a nice bonus but ultimately it doesn't matter. The free market does not always optimize for what you think it should optimize for.

Hi, co-creator of tiptap here and the one who wrote the heading:

We went with “renderless” for tiptap v1, but this is not really correct and a lot of people switched to “headless”.

Give me a better word that’s know to more people, I’d love to change it!

With web artisans I wanted to point out it’s for people who really care about every detail.

If you just want to slap in an editor and that’s it: tiptap is not for you. If you want to really customize every aspect of the editor: You should definitely consider using tiptap.
