More recent threads about fractional scaling on elementary include the comment "[fractional scaling] is blocked by moving to Wayland".

I can understand the developers not wanting to implement a FS hack that will likely be replaced soon anyway, when the project priority is supposed to be UX innovation. I can also understand delaying the move to Wayland until it meets the standards for stability. But in the meantime it's a frustrating situation, since the likely catalyst will be Ubuntu's 22.04 LTS moving to Wayland, and it's a barrier for many users.
Google, Samsung, Lenovo, and Nokia all support unlocking and flashing, including AOSP builds that are rootable. Yes, if you want to root your phones specific image you'll need to tweak it to support root.

TWRP isn't a jailbreak, nor is ADB or Lineage.
For a long time nielsen groups webpage was one of the uglier websites on the web in the name of accessibility. That's part of where mistrust of them specifically comes from.
Some people it turns out, don't want "political-outlet therapy", they want to build actual political power. When you work for a company that already has that sort of power, activism like this is a natural approach. In fact, I suspect that many people dislike this approach because they know it is effective.
You're not going further in the chain: The person you work for has to buy bitcoins then. Or the next link in backwards has to. At some point, people will need to convert current assets into bitcoin. You're arguing from a point of view that requires bitcoin to already be an established currency. I'm saying that there is no practical way to get to that point without that sanction of governments to use traditional financial institutions along the way.

Further, even if you got there, governments could simply ban bitcoin. It then becomes extremely hard to use as a common medium of exchange because literally no legal business could accept it without risking the business and their life outside of prison.

It would also render useless the scenario of fleeing a despot country with hard currency assets intact because wherever your destination, those assets are still illegal to use.

All of this means that, at any point, governments could reduce bitcoin to-- at best-- another side of shadow banking, like how drugs can be a medium of exchange in the criminal world. That does not allow room for common usage by the masses.

Bitcoin & other crypto exist because nation states allow them to exist.

This is too easy, you’re just wasting everyone’s time by asking this. (Maybe that’s your goal.) And yes, many candidates will think it’s a trick question. I would spend the time asking questions you can get meaningful signal from.

As an aside, I found this kind of time wasting question to be not uncommon at Google and other FAANGs.
That didn't work for pigs and chicken.
No need to make a dichotomy out of a spectrum. Business owners pay some tax and receive some profit - we need only adjust the relative percentages.
NFT/blockchain scam applied to EDM tracks -- the elevator pitch just seems to write itself. All that is missing is a deep learning component and a blog article on the site talking about their use of either Rust or Tailwind.

>And it’s Christian supremacist since he leaves out the Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and any other religion that believes in human rights.

What does it mean for a religion to believe in "human rights" and why is the belief in "human rights" a hallmark of superiority in your view?
Yes, they probably could be optimized. Backend API tests are usually fast, or can be made so. Webdriver based tests are annoying to write and usually slow, so I don't test frontend code automatically.

Kinda feels like a waste of time, especially if your code is well componentized and there are not many central points of failure. (and those are pretty easy to see with cursory manual testing)
Lately I have been feeling like the economy just broke on a fundamental level over the past year. The vast amount of money sloshing around NFTs are a symptom. And this? This is another symptom.

The niche industry of "grading trading cards for collectible value" is completely overflowing. Prices for this service are skyrocketing because the demand far outstrips the availability.

Meanwhile we still don't have a minimum wage that is anything like livable. $15/h was proposed as a sensible raise ten years ago from the current federal minimum of $7 and inflation has not stopped in the intervening time - online inflation calculators say the modern number would be $18.22.
RPM is much simpler than deb: .spec is just single file with metadata, build recipe, and list of files. Example:

You can use types to help with the outside world by making error states explicit encoding them in types. ZIO for example.

I can write programs without code covering all scenarios by stubbing out methods with types, using ADTs etc then it’s a case of implementing a function to run it all.

However, I completely understand where you are coming from.

I had some of the same issues until I worked with a great team who showed me the abstractions, why they are useful and how they work.

If I hadn’t of worked with the team I did I would likely of still been agreeing with you. I think the biggest problem is it’s hard to understand on your own unless you are deep in to the theory. You don’t need to know the theory deeply to use the abstractions but unless someone shows you how to apply them it’s hard to discover.

With that your last comment is exactly right. If you are not utilising Scala type system and other features Kotlin or Java will be better. Java is moving quick these days and Kotlin is closer to a better Java than Scala is.
Agreed. Although I do believe you have a moral obligation to attempt to make the people who care about you understand your thought process and ideally agree with your decision.
Yes, that's what I got from the article: There's no difference from mental / physical processes, both are carb-driven molecular machines that can break.
T1D here, and you explained the experience of hypoglycemia very well. This is very close to what I get as well.

> Then comes an incredible desire to eat sweet things - once you start eating, it can actually be difficult to stop!

This sucks a lot with diabetes. The survival mechanism kicks in and tells you "eat something, anything, everything", which can subsequently cause your blood sugar to skyrocket, which you then have to correct with more insulin...it can send you on a blood sugar roller coaster than can ruin your entire day. Diabetes sucks.
How do you expect them to pay for developers without some form of income?
This is excellent news! Looking forward to the lens of Tantacrul being applied to Audacity the way it was to MuseScore.

The levity and the pragmatic focus make a great combination.
also many professor make wink-and-nod that student may simply "find pdf copy" from internet. good ones are not desiring for to make students pay large moneys.
Yeah, I think the definition of "done" is a great thing to focus on here. For me, the definition is generally, "works for the user". But waterfall-ish processes encourage developers to think that done means "finished the code". But that's really "finished the code for their first understanding of somebody's first guess at what might solve a user problem".

If something isn't "done" until it has at least survived a first user test, then we don't need to be quite as egoless, because we are a participant in the larger problem-solving process.

I also think your point on being overwhelmed matters a lot. Too many software processes are push-based, where an executive is cramming things in the hopper and insisting on a pace. I like pull-based processes. E.g., having a kanban board with WIP limits, so an individual unit of work takes as long as it takes.
We have Wise and used this as a workaround like you described. However, Paypal recently ”fixed” this loophole by charging 3% on USD to USD transfers. It’s insane.

I’m not hugely involved in this space so this is just speculation, but my impression is that Blender is relied on by companies more than GIMP. It seems like Photoshop still dominates the space GIMP occupies. So there’s probably just a lot more money being funneled into Blender because a lot more profit depends on it.

I'm assuming these are instructions for self tests or verification. If so, removing the instructions after they are manufactured wouldn't be easy. You can do it in microcode at the cost of making all execution slightly slower (if instruction not in [a, b, c, d]) or by physically altering the die to remove those instructions. Either way, it doesn't sound fun. It's probably easier to leave them in.
Are you still doing this? For us Paypal added a 3% transfer fee on USD to USD transfers. We’d really like to get this fixed, it’s killing us.
Is what killed them the CA regulatory issue, or part time programs not being a fit with ISAs?
In theory by owning a certain part of the atmosphere above your country. The government would then set a maximum CO2 limit in ppm that is allowed on your cubic metres of atmosphere.

In practice it is heavily simplified and you don't get to own portions of the atmosphere, instead you get usage rights, which means the right to pollute a certain amount. This is done via cap and trade already.
You misunderstand. Sure NASA has many contractors, but not for the exact same thing. Commercial crew and commercial cargo is one of very few programs that do.

> The SpaceX bid wasn’t just superior to the other two bids, it also aligned with the Artemis’s mission to get to Mars.

Agree, it was clearly the best.

But the Mars part was a very small of the evaluation in the document.

Unless it’s your family/friends who have been? “How was your weekend Mary?” “My husband/kid was shot in the back by police”

I find it sad how your arguing how people’s existence can’t be political or if they are it “doesn’t matter” because they unborn or dead while neglecting people who would still be affected daily like family or a mother who wants to get an abortion but can’t/has to deal with the assholes out front protesting

Oh yeah; this was the best part of moving to Erlang/OTP... Test suites are absurdly fast (nearly) all the time. Most test suites I use take less than 10 seconds with anywhere from 100-1000 unit tests. The worst I've seen "monoliths" take at most ~90 seconds to run and that is only ever the case if folks are creating insanely too many objects or needlessly testing the internals of `gen_server`.
Fancy user and tiny contributor of October and now Winter.

I've been really disappointed when I hear the split of the project, then I finally understand both decisions here:
- October became paid to generate more money than only fees from the marketplace
- Winter will keep the project open source and hope that the marketplace and donations will be sufficient to make the project live long.

What's made me decide on which side I wanted to be was not the fact that the platform is paid or free, but more the fact that only one project will now consider their customers as developers and potential contributors.

On the October's side, you'll now just pay for a program that you'll run on your server as is, you could still develop custom plugins but the new features will now only be developed by the two creators (including one that I've never had the chance to discuss with or even read in two years of contributions). You now just can propose new features and hope that the developers will agree to develop them without any due date.

On the Winter's side there are 4 friendly developers, a world-wide active community and they've always been open to any contributions, including new features. The maintainers are focused on adding new features meanwhile asking for beginners' feedbacks to ease the introduction of new community members (and potential future contributors).

My thoughts is that October as of today is one step higher of Winter because they released a new fresh backend with some new (only front-end) features secretly developed by the creators without even telling it to the maintainers but Winter is already way more active into the development of new features due to the fact they can be added by anyone from the community.

I expect both project to live but the community of both projects will now include different kind of members, October's one will be full of customers, Winter's one will be full of contributors.

what's the point of the link exactly?
There is nothing that makes an installed app, with higher permissions, more trustworthy than a web app. Getting rid of js altogether is just throwing away the web to make it something poorly performing and requires sending all data back to the server - so not really a serious option. Browsers only exist to allow interaction with websites, and as such they should follow specs and allow them to be used. Websites are more important than browsers by definition.
I mean I don't trust hypocrites in the first place, so I'm not sure it's the boss that broke the trust.

One thing that I think gets lost in discussions of hypocrisy is that there are actually two types, and they should be handled very differently.

The first type is when an alcoholic tells you to slow down on your drinking, e.g. "do as I say and not as I do" hypocrisy. This kind is usually ok, because it tends to be more of a "learn from my mistakes" situation than a failure to understand the contradiction in your own words.

The second type is "rules for thee and not for me" hypocrisy – people that try to catch others out in their "bad behavior" but then think it is totally fine when they do it themselves, as they provide some sort of post-hoc rationalization for why it is ok for them to do it ("because context" or whatever) but totally unacceptable for others to do so.

Most people conflate the two types, but I try to only refer to the latter type as hypocrisy, and I think it is generally bad to be a hypocrite in that way. And from the sounds of it, the Basecamp employees in question were definitely more of the latter than the former.

Automated tests that my team runs vary from ~seconds to multiple days, depending on what's being tested. Some of the tests involve compiling a multi-billion line repo using over 30+ languages, and doing some analysis on the resulting code graph. So that takes awhile.

30-45 minutes just for a simple test suite, even if it's PHP, Python, and Ruby - that sounds long. But without any details on exactly what's being tested, it's hard to say.
"Threat of legal action" is MuseScore letting/recommending the copyright holders to send a DMCA, like in youtube-dl. This is even what the repository owners say in the first few comments.

Threatening someone with words like "Chinese government to physically find you and stop the illegal use of licensed content" is extremely serious and shouldn't be casually dismissed.

This is not "badly worded". This is either a lie, or MuseScore is dealing with institutions that behave like the Mafia. There is no excuse for either of those behaviours.

Also, you seem to be implying that the company had the opportunity to work together and alert the repo owner, but instead they decided to double down on the threats and accusations. This is also completely unacceptable.
When I tried using a previous edition, the page numbers and most of the exercises didn't line up. "Thursday's test will be on pp 144-172 inclusive, and get to know exercise 5.17." It put me at a surprisingly big disadvantage.

Pretty sure the publishers anticipated this.
The reality is basic unskilled labor is worth about as much as it has been. At the same time, multiple new industries have sprung up and computer/ai-aided workers are vastly more productive than ever. I think a higher minimum wage could be a good "forcing function" to eliminate more low-skill jobs. The problem is, the general population is always going to have some proportion of people who can not or will not do higher skilled work. Also, normalizing WFH/remote work might help to let folks diffuse to lower cost of living areas.
In other words: Greg and all the other kernel maintainers were made unwilling participants in a research project (the "hypocrite patches") and then were made unwilling participants in another research project with the same advisor (the static analyzer which was of questionable utility).

So - no more free research support for the University of Minnesota. That's fair because the reviewers did not choose to spend time on the University of Minnesota's research output.
I think you are being downvoted because of HN’s inherent bias on topics regarding diversity and inclusion (although the flamebaity tone might also be at fault here). But I think this point needs reiterating as it is important to the discussion at hand.

I my self am an immigrant that don’t consider me self a member of any minority and I can attest to this. I don’t experience discrimination in my day-to-day activities, nor on the job market. The only discrimination I experience is what I inherit from USA’s immigration policies. I.e. I have more restricted international travel and my visa is tied to my employer (which I would imagine would be far worse of an experience if I would belong to a minority).

And this makes sense given the sibling threads. Being from a majority group in a country where I have good access to quality education, health care and other services, as well as good job opportunities. This indeed gives me a privilege that I take with me as I migrate. Non-immigrants that have been rejected these opportunities don’t have it this good.

In my experience immigration status alone is not enough to put into a group that has increased risk of being discriminated against.

I assume you're missing a word there?
Could you restate that? I wasn't able to make something coherent out of it.
There's an array of javascript libraries to choose from, but maybe you would find Observable (reactive javascript notebooks) to be a good substitute for Jupyter.

Observable is geared toward the use of d3.js (essentially a library for drawing charts and graphs) which can be a bit intimidating, but you can use other libraries as well. For 3D, regl seems to be a good option. It's a library which makes using WebGL a bit more convenient. Here's an example of an Observable notebook that uses regl: https://observablehq.com/@rreusser/contour-plots-with-d3-reg...

Check out R. Reusser's other notebooks too. My guess is that choosing a set of JS libraries/tools to learn is the hard part, here, once you've committed to javascript.

Well, I am certainly aware of such usage (gender != sex), however I find it highly tricky because the interchangeable use of the words gender and sex is an established situation for the last 100-200 years (simple example: identity cards / passports / corresponding forms).

The whole point of any expression is that (by definition) is subject to the decision (one may say the whims) of the person doing that expressing. On the other hand, sex is set in stone, no psychological change and no surgery can change it.

While you may not have heard anyone saying they are gender fluid as a result of their chromosomes, I counter with the fact that one of the most common claim of the genderfluid people and their advocates is that "sex is a spectrum", which has basically the same meaning.

Moreover, there are educated university professors which publicly claim Homo sapiens have more than just 2 genders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij80qmJPhOc

For the record, I couldn't care less who people have sex with and what sex they believe they belong to
There is actually one more step available, even after the copyright strike: you submit your contact details and YT clears the strike and it’s up to the claimant to then issue proceeding against you outside of YT.

The law is based on the doctrine of unclean hands. Judges decide on a case by case basis, based on the facts pertaining to the case.

An artist finds their life’s work online, and issues a takedown notice, not realizing it contained a few songs they don’t notice? No big deal.

A label pays a takedown notice mill, that produces completely bogus / mistargeted takedown requests on a regular basis? Scorched earth. They lose the ability to enforce any copyrights on their catalog.
We had the same kind of problem, where we saw our tests and builds take 20-30 minutes.
We also noticed that our own machine could run the tests significantly faster, mainly due to that desktop CPU can easily boost the clock speed for intense work load. Comparably most CIs use Cloud VMs which hardly go beyond 3 GHz. We found this quite strange.

After some talk we decided to build a CI service based on this premise, i.e desktop CPU outform Cloud CPUs for the CI use case. After some months we managed to create BuildJet.

I would say it at minimum cuts the the build time in half and the best part is that it plugs right into Github Actions, just need to change one line in your Github Actions configuration.

If it sounds useful for you, check it out: https://buildjet.com

HN guidelines are to steelman what you are responding to.

So, assume "examine how employees socialise" means "consider events where people go beyond who their usual contacts are, to enable more mentoring". Rather than, "spying on me and building a graph of contacts".

Ask HN: How to get a Facebook post/image/group taken down?
We are beyond frustrated as some Chinese scam company has stolen all the images and descriptions from our Etsy listing and is posting it under at least 3 different Facebook pages and ads.

They are using pictures of my wife's face as their cover image and more, and despite how much we report, or file with Facebook, nothing happens or they respond saying we don't know which page you are talking about, despite a link and screenshot.

There are no report options that are "you stole my face without my permission" and anything marked as scam, they just say "This doesn't appear to go against the community guidelines".

They've got links to their "Safety center" which is 100% useless.

Any ideas on how to actually make anything happen?

It's just as hard to get their fake stores to take down our listings as well as PayPal and Stripe don't let you report fraudulent websites either. It seems like if you want to go all in on Fraud, no one can stop you and those hosting you don't seem to care.
