You should look at GUI via ImGUI if this is an opinion you hold.

Immediate mode GUI creation. Very straightforward and just requires an OpenGL context (which can be software of course, so all CPU based if you want). A lot of games use it because it can be easily added as an additional layer to your final image (and is represented as just an image).
On multiple levels it seems nuts to use canvas for a stylized text editor.

There are layout consistency issues across browser and OS. The place I’ve seen this is page breaks changing between computers (or even zoom levels). Line length isn’t controlled solely by the browser, IIRC both kerning (letter spacing) and word spacing is determined by the OS.

I implemented something like Docs myself, but with the goal of total consistency of line/page breaks. Knowing about these issues I used SVG. In SVG text you can override line length, but you still need to have a value in mind, a reference to be calculated independent of user environment details.

Regarding performance, one issue I can speak to is the cascading changes to line breaks. This can be pretty brutal when making a change to the beginning of a long document. To get acceptable performance I had to partially remove the application framework I had been using.

I liked my solution and it worked quite well in prototypes, but I don’t know how it would have faired in the wild.
Does that imply that Apple would not “get away” with their privacy moves if Facebook was not reprehensible? I do not see why Apple would have to “get away” with anything. They did something their customers like, what difference does it make if Facebook is reprehensible or not?

Am I right to assume that also parts of the interaction UX are now rendered by canvas? I looked at the source and even text selections etc. do not have DOM tree elements anymore.
Prove it. This is going to come as a wild shock to you, but Rust isn't the only language that provides this. There have, in fact, been memory safe, performant languages for decades. But we do live it a bubble here where the norm is anything that hasn't been hyped by a pack of fanbois on HN the last 2 years doesn't exist and "an untruth repeated enough times...".

There are 2 things that made that less severe.

Firstly, it started with an understanding that it would be extremely temporary. There wasn't much concern (at least among the people I know) that life couldn't go back to largely normal when things warmed up. There was damage, but in the scale of natural disasters, it was fairly tame.

Secondly, those temperatures aren't particularly dangerous. They're not pleasant, but it's not "oh shit, we're all going to die" territory. The death counts for that range from ~100-~200, including deaths from hypothermia, carbon monoxide poisoning from attempting to heat homes, and wrecks resulting from unsafe roads. That is a tragedy, but a relatively minor one in the scale of human tragedy. Hurricane Maria killed 3,000 people. Katrina killed 1,800. Crashes of large planes into uninhabited areas kill more people than that.

I don't mean to minimize the personal tragedy or hardships anyone faced, but "not having power during cold weather" isn't a terribly hard test of society's resilience. If you can manage to not freeze to death for a week, everything goes back to normal. Anarchy largely spawns from uncertainty; will they ever get the power back? Will I be able to eat? Will things get worse? If I do something drastic now, will I be able to save myself if/when things do get worse?

Your questions are: how big is it and what are the working speeds of the motors.

It is this big: https://wiki.openastrotech.com/alu-oat.jpg
but if you need more accurate dimensions: https://wiki.openastrotech.com/en/OpenAstroTracker/Printing (select the appropriate parts aand look at their dimensions in a 3D STL viewer. Those are in millimeters) and then look at the youtube video where you can see it in context.

The motors: the working speed of the motor is identical to the speeds required to keep the scope aligned. For one of the axes, that means it causes the system to do a full 360 rotatation every 24h. Steppers (both the small kind and the big kind) can work at 1500RPM but this is irrelevant- we care much more about precise small movements.
If you connect your iPhone to your Mac you can run Instruments on it to figure out what is going on. I used to recently to figure out that Slack had been making my entire phone slow because it was busy looping in the background.
Yes, those are the benches at the pick up/dropoff area! Good eye!

I'll add though that if you're after scanning a big stack of negatives versus just one or two frames then this scanner method will probably take a lot than using a flatbed or a good SLR mount.
I'm also non-technical and I do see the value for the customer, BUT it's very obvious there are issues here. Dropbox claims their service is secure and privacy preserving. Quote from their website:"All files you store in Dropbox are private. Other people can't see and open those files unless you purposely share links to files or share folders with others." Funnily enough in the next sentence already they somewhat water this down again, saying dropbox employees do access your files "on rare occasions", for example "when necessary to ensure that our systems and features are working as designed (e.g., debugging performance issues, making sure that our search functionality is returning relevant results, developing image search functionality, refining content suggestions, etc.)"

Yes, it's possible to do such indexing. They can also start running facial recognition software like Facebook does. What's going to happening next with all the data they collect? Doesn't take a pessimistic coder to know, any layperson should be able to figure this out.
Because it's a better language for a lot of use cases? But I concede that the history of the industry indicates that "don't care" is the norm.
True story:

E. Allen Emerson, later Turing Award recipient, comes knocking at the door of the Unix cave[1] and demands to know why we changed all the fonts and made his papers look different. No one had changed the fonts---the department had replaced the printers. CMR is wildly different at 600dpi from 300dpi.

Personally, I never really liked Computer Modern mostly because the variation in stroke widths was too great. The thin strokes just look spindly. Personally, I much prefer Computer Concrete, which looks horrible in the samples on the web page.

I was curious about meat prices because this didn't match my personal experience: https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/meat-price-spreads/

Looks like meat prices spiked in Q2, peaking around June/July, and have fallen again. They're still elevated from this time two years ago, but they did go down.
The other difference between trucks and cars is that power/weight isn't really important for the latter, and hugely important for the former. If there's an improvement that allows you to carry 5% more weight in your car, that doesn't matter much. Most of the engine's energy is being used transporting the engine around, and the weight of passengers and luggage is not an operative constraint. For trucks it matters a lot, because they just became 5% more efficient.
I see. Brent’s blog was where I first read it but this is definitely older. Thanks.
I had this instinct as well but I think this is about rendering, not necessarily editing. The document link is not to something editable. Granted, perhaps these will merge.
Copy a few cells from a Google sheet and paste it in an email, then do the same with Excel. Collaborate on building out a document from scratch with 10 people in Google sheets vs Excel.

Excel is a monster, and much more powerful than Google sheets in many ways, but in my experience, Google docs apps are a little better for collaboration, and they integrate a little tighter with each other.

To be fair, iOS maybe should put some visual indicator that it is doing this. Then everything would be obvious.
Since this serious complication first surfaced a little over a year ago, various mitigations have been developed, with the result that people with this complication are more likely to survive than before. Now, the mechanism responsible for it has been discovered, an an apparently-effective solution found among existing drugs - and the search for more continues.

Just what is "seriously broken" about this picture, other than that it does not conform to your fantasy about how things should be? Overfilling the hospitals with everyone who might develop this complication would be counter-productive.
Great now it's even less useful if I don't allow fingerprinting.

A lot of discussion going on here, but I want to add two things in support of this change:

1. A browser- and OS-agnostic layout experience will have real effects. Just last week, a doc I wrote on my Mac (with Chrome) ended up with several pages with orphaned text, because the page/section breaks I inserted near the end of a page on purpose ended up breaking for Windows Chrome users due to slight variations in font rendering.

2. They have a sample document linked in that post. The text is still 100% selectable/copyable, and assistive technology is able to read and navigate it.

I don't think these anachronistic comparisons make any sense. GMA might do OGL2.1 at best, it won't work well with software with modern assumptions. I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't use GPU at all and falls back to software OGL renderer.

Most informed economic commentary I've read fully expected a brief spike in inflation, but does not expect any kind of runaway inflation over the medium and long-term. I'm just not worried, especially with the twin biases of news reporting: sensationalism and favorable coverage of the views of big finance.
The main advantage is avoiding the traditional financial systems, as you note. One use of that is to launder money, as you note. Other uses include paying for illegal things (drugs, child pornography, or in some countries run of the mill goods that are banned), or as a parking spot for money when your other options are even worse. I.e. there probably isn't a worse spot to put your money than in Venezuela's currency; despite Bitcoin's instability, it's unlikely to deflate faster than Venezuelan currency. You can also use it to move currency around. I've heard that wealthy Chinese people use it as a vehicle to get money out of China, but I'm not terribly well-versed in that.

Yeah, the complexity and cost is pretty high at that sort of of localized power density. Most truck stops max out on nighttime parking (about 100 spaces), and assuming all of them charging at the time, a moderately sized truck stop would require about 20MW peak power...even more if they plan on having megachargers. The biggest problem is line capacity...you won't be able to piggyback on local infrastructure. You'll have to run dedicated lines from tens, if not hundreds of miles away from the nearest distribution station. Remember, most truck stops are far away from population centers, and thus electrical infrastructure, as a matter of practicality. They need too much land.

I'm not betting on hydrogen specifically because 1) it's too complex, and 2) while the volumetric density is within the realm of feasibility, it's still not great. But I am betting on fuel cells. Solid Oxide Fuel Cells in particular. They're already extremely efficient, and also produce high grade (i.e. easily recapturable and convertible) heat. And they can use hydrogen, but they can also use methane, ammonia, butane, propane, diesel, gasoline, or any other form of fuel (I've run one off of wood chips!). And that flexibility has a lot of power, especially with the future of abundant and cheap non-peak power costs and rapidly developing synthetic fuel technologies.

The Shortages in the U.S. Economy
Employment lawyers are helpful with, well, employment law, which companies need to comply with. They don't help with everything though. Employment lawyers don't understand what I want and what trade-offs I'd be willing to make to have those things happen, nor do they, as employment lawyers, have insights into the specific trade-offs my employer "I want to have a different working arrangement" isn't a legal question.

I recognize my good fortune. However, on a site called "Hacker News," I'm going to assume that most people here work in technology and have roughly similar leverage to what I have or have had in the past. If your employer doesn't treat you well and you work in software development, IT or a related field, you should leave because there are employers out there that will treat you decently. None of us are entitled to one specific job.

Unions make sense in some situations. Evidently people in the technology sector have been able to work this specific question out without them.
>Who says Fedex and UPS aren't all in on electric?

Because I haven't seen a single electric truck of any type by any service. Perhaps someone here has, love to hear about it. Since my wife is a shipping manager for a manufacturer, there is some anecdotal backing. (jeesh, why are people so religious about this stuff?).

I don't doubt that they are planning a long term move at places like Fedex, but articles on it lead me to believe they are just dipping their toe in the water. A moon shot to accomplish something by 2040 is the opposite of all-in, they may not exist as a company in 20 years.

In any case, as I was alluding to, short-haul trucking will electrify far before long-haul, for obvious reasons (and if it ever does)...at least for purely economic reasons. All bets are off if the hand of the state dictates a technology.

> Your first sentence is the attitude he's responding to

lol. What? That I doubt that you'll see hydrogen fueled long-haul trucking in the US? Care to make a bet on it? What is your time horizon on the bet?
> Documents are the quintessential use case for the Web, full stop

In 1996, yes. And you can still use the Web that way. Nobody's stopping you. Much of the Web is still used that way, and that's not going to change.

But in 2021, the web serves documents, and applications. And HTML/CSS was never intended as a way to build applications.

It's why people came up with Flash, Java Applets, ActiveX, and all that other shit. And the web today wouldn't be one whit better off if the vendors of those technologies took your advice, and rolled their functionality into the core web. In fact, it would be in many, many ways worse off.
