I've been an advocate for and developer of Free software for a very long time.

But the UX of everything Free is just horribly bad. I've written a toy softsynth for myself in Ruby and was looking for some MIDI editing software that I could use to quickly throw some notes in a piano roll and draw some curves for various CCs, and export to a .mid. But everything was incredibly cumbersome. Of the several I tried, only Ardour even allowed the control of arbitrary CCs, and I had to dig to find it, and it wanted to create an entire directory hierarchy before I could even draw a single note.

If there was going to be a Free revolution of people donating and volunteering to overthrow the proprietary software world, it would have happened a long time ago. Free software has an insurmountable design, development, and discovery problem.

If I were looking to start a community today, and actually have people join it, I'd go where the people are, and that is Discord.
"Be mindful of your risk tolerance" so true.

Most people underestimate the amount of risk they can take on simply because they still have living parents and could move back home for awhile.

As someone who has never had a safety net of any kind, use your safety net if you have it.
I've loved using Inter for a long time, and I'm glad they finally fixed some odd kerning/letter spacing issues between certain letters that always bothered me and prevented me from using it on projects.

I think Inter is getting more popular (since it's free) and replacing other popular ones like Circular that cost an arm and a leg, and pretty "look the same" in the lay-person's eyes.

There's a whole slew of similar, free typefaces now: Public Sans (https://public-sans.digital.gov/), Work Sans (https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Work+Sans), Metropolis (https://fontsarena.com/metropolis-by-chris-simpson/)

What is ultra-processed food (UPF)? In the programme, professor Gyorgy Scrinis of the University of Melbourne say it is:

- Food that is broken down to it's component parts or chemically transformed, subject to high pressure or temperature and may be lacking nutritional value.

- We mistakenly think UPF is only junk fund e.g. fast food or confectionery. But it can be foods like breakfast cereals where grains have been highly processed and where the integrity of the food is destroyed.

- Ingredient labels on food packets, jars or tins aren't always helpful because the labels don't tell you how some ingredients were processed. If you wouldn't use the ingredient in your kitchen, then consider whether the food should be treated as a UPF.
Ask HN: Is there merit to Leetcode without courses?
I have around 2 years of experience in software engineering (realistically web development). I work at a decently large and recognizable company for my area, but would like to join a FAANG, mostly due to compensation and career recognition.

I have heard Leetcode is a good way to prepare for FAANG interviews, but I don't have a strong algorithms background. Should I try and take free courses (MIT OCW or something similar) prior to working with Leetcode?
Yes, and the example was naive. It’s trivial to make regex identify TLDs.
I spent extensive time evaluating this problem, and tried a whole bunch of different things:

Nextcloud, Resilio, iCloud, etc etc etc.

Honestly? Just using Google Photos is probably the best bet for most folks, whether you’re on iOS or something else. I personally picked OneDrive for my use case since it is both more performant for large data sync and 6 TB + Office 365 for a family plan beat out the alternatives on pricing.
Perhaps so, however selective exercising of media contempt laws when it is not clear cut case ( i.e. naming some one directly) is suspicious and looks a lot like overreach .

The timing (he cannot now testify in the Spanish case on spying on Wikileaks) and quantum of sentence combined with supreme court refusing to hear his appeal all does not indicate the system had the best interests for protecting the witness but more like they wanted to silence him/ media and send a message .
Wikileaks is one man with a few cult followers. Any feel-good standard they put in place can be overridden at his whim. There are enough ex-cultist testimonies to that effect.
I. M.> John, the kind of control you're attempting simply is… it's not possible. If there is one thing the history of evolution has taught us it's that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories and crashes through barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously, but, uh… well, there it is.

H. W.> You're implying that a group composed entirely of female animals will… breed?

I. M.> No. I'm, I'm simply saying that life, uh… finds a way.

The doctors who track side effects are not stupid. They look for clusters of similar cases, and compare reported cases to the expected number of cases considering how many people in each age/gender cohort got the shot.

WinUI 3 builds on the legacy of earlier XAML-based frameworks, and isn't entirely a brand new product (unless you're on non-C#, then the whole C++/WinRT API is brand new, and actually kinda nice (speaking from having used Gtk and Qt before)).

You shouldn't be wary realistically because Microsoft has spent almost a decade grinding away at something that needs to exist for both Windows to survive, and for Microsoft to stay relevant in app design. The existing code that makes WinForms, WPF, and WinUI 2 apps (the API in UWP) also has been reused or extended by WinUI 3.

Microsoft just wants app development not to suck. They designed C# for a post-Java world for this goal, they rebooted Visual Studio years ago for the C# era to achieve this goal, they took XML out of the places it didn't belong and put it into the places it did belong (ex: XAML, for actual real document-style code autogeneration) for this goal, they switched to Git to handle their famous monorepo to accelerate development of Windows, they bought Github because of how much they used it internally (and made their job so much easier than their kinda shitty internal mixed heritage VSS quasi-fork), and they're one of the largest users and committers of the Linux kernel itself and would love if they could run their own modern MDL2/Fluent(=MDL3) apps on Linux natively.

> I thought you were disengaging?

Hmm. What do you think I meant by that?

On that subject, though: this is why getting into it with people like you is a waste of time. You say where are the data, where are the data, and then when you are shown the data you debase yourselves with endless intellectual contortions to avoid acknowledging it.

> I'm guessing it's quite low.

Keep guessing, then. Relevant public data^[1] are yours for the taking if you decide, probably offline, that you'd rather not remain willfully ignorant. But I'm not going to hold your hand anymore, because it is an absolute waste of time.

Because secret hearings at unjust.
I think you misunderstand. It's not about whether one can easily imagine it being used to create a false narrative, but whether those false narratives are being broadly deployed. In other words, it's an empirical, not theoretical model.
I first encountered the topic when I was in university in the early 2000s, and decided to focus all of my humanities requirements into Black Studies and Black Literature. The professors in these departments were early adherents of the current ideology, and back then it was a lot easier to see where the ideology came from.

My (admittedly shitty) take on it is that these professors benefited tremendously from race-based affirmative action policies, and gradually a set of ideas that were immune from attack and questioning evolved to justify it. The "equity" concept came from that. My favorite memory from these classes was being shouted at by a famous Black poet who was a guest speaker because I questioned her view that poor whites shouldn't be treated any differently than rich whites when it came to admissions. The level of instantaneous emotional reaction was something I had only previously seen when arguing with Biblical creationists. This was when I realized this was quasi-religious ideology that was so firmly attached to the identity of it's adherents that it rendered them incapable of properly assessing reality.
> Intel and HP looked around and saw a wide variety of successful server CPU architectures like Alpha, MIPS, SPARC, and POWER.

I used a PA-RIRC/Alpha and Power machines in various work roles. All those architectures/OS fell to X86 speed improvements/low prices. All those other architectures couldn't compete as intel X86 got faster and faster and caught up with exotic silicon.

When MS released windows NT for x86 it was over. My Mom's former employer (PTC) released for windows NT a little late and lost ground to SolidWorks. Even Apple gave up using power an switched to x86.
No, it's not exactly like that. It's like selling a bottle of wine (marketed as such), that will purposefully self-destruct if you try to open it in a setting that the manufacturer does not approve of, say an orgy or a popular ball (as opposed to a bourgeois banquet). Technically, it's wine that's intended to be drunk. But the manufacturer enforces that you use it however they please, not you.

So you paid money for the product. The product is technically capable to fulfill your greatest needs and desire as someone who purchased it, yet it has built-in mechanisms to enforce the will of someone else on your life.

Would you find it normal to have screws sold with Ikea furniture that are made so that they can only screw Ikea furniture? Or gasoline sold with a BMW car that only works in BMW cars? Or bread sold with a butter that can only go on that kind of bread? It makes no sense, as interoperability is a fundamental property of most things around us, going against that is an insult and an injury to all of humanity, and to our planet that's ever more polluted because our overlords have decided we should keep on producing and throwing away hardware instead of repairing/re-purposing things as we used to not long ago.
Good to know, thanks. Definitely do not want to support communism or the CCP.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. For me, at least, rhetoric matters. I don't care for some as it were commentary on the state of language and ideology. If rhetorical poison is being deployed against my ideology, then I want to shed light on it stop it. Things, as most people understand them, are not becoming more equitable. That’s a real problem despite the obtuse linguistic tricks deployed to justify a post-modern agenda.
I'm confused at the genetics angle that both you and brobdingnagians took on this. I'll admit that I don't fully understand the science behind the article, and I'd like to be corrected if I'm wrong, but I don't see anything in the article that makes a direct link between the blood marker and genetics.

As far as the down votes go, it's a little strange that an article talking about new findings about our understanding of COVID prompted a response about the government controlling our bodies. Similar to the genetics angle, I don't see anything in the article that even suggests this information will be used to keep someone inside their house. I guess it could be, but I don't get the point. Should we stop the advancement of science because there's some remote possibility that the Government will use it to "tell us what to do"?

I mean you bring an interesting point, but at the same time, we now have an indicator that may tell us more about how one person might react to COVID. I don't see why that's causing us to worry about some 1984-ish dystopian future.
Elegance might be in the eye of the beholder, security is not.
I don't feel the least bit for GW, IP protection is almost always net negative for society. Any more than a little and it's just used to by extant powers to collect rents.
This is pretty obvious as a game designer in the board game industry. I'll see a publisher post on Facebook that they're accepting submissions and if I don't have something ready to show I can't take advantage of it.

Happened to me just this morning, even, that I saw a publisher say they were accepting submissions I had some games that would be a good fit but I'm still trying to iron out a few things (and could have done that by now, but hadn't).

It's not the 'proof' part of "proof of vaccination" that's the problem. It's compelling an employee to put a foreign substance into their body. This is also much different than requiring an employee NOT ingest a substance. The situation you've created here is akin to restricted speech vs compelled speech (drug test the former, vaccine the latter).
It's call a spade a spade, Inter is an open license replica of Apple's San Francisco font.

Any dependent type theory is "semi-automated" because judgemental equality computes normal forms, there is no reason it should be this way, other than convenience of course.
If any USA soldier or Afghan collaborator had ever been harmed as a result of Wikileaks' journalism, the war media would have been wall-to-wall on the story for years. That has never been reported. Ergo, it never happened.
Jinja2 is an API and it needs a Python program to determine the values for the substitution variable and invoke the template engine. In contrast the M4 executable is the engine.
> Google "cm! 5 inches" or "cm 5 inches", or even "5 inches to cm" or "5 inches cm" and you get exactly the same result in all cases. The exclamation point isn't a feature, it's irrelevant.

That appears to be correct, and I added a comment to the quoted answer to that effect. Thanks!

On the broader point, you are also correct – and, in particular, the calculator/unit syntax is documented at https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/3284611

I was mistaken; Google provides better documentation of their search than I thought. I appreciate the correction.
I browse with javascript disabled and this site works perfectly. Kudos for that!
Interestingly, it appears based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_iAPX_432#The_project's_f... the procedure call instruction was a heavyweight thing designed to maximise features and it could branch much more quickly - but their compilers didn't handle that out of the box.
Definitely feel the same way about Alpine. Philosophically I get it, but I agree about how using attributes obfuscates too much. The idea of debugging js in attributes sounds horrible.

Not sure if you've used the multiline console that Firefox has, but I could easily see some repl-driven development with that; I just wish the other browsers had it too.
The ability to work hard is not earned, it is genetic. If equity is our goal, we need to make this ability equivalent across all people. I don't think that's what we want, so the term equity is incorrect.
What is your basis for equality of outcome being a bad thing? Can you give some examples of what you're talking about?

To me, equity should mean that (for example) a paraplegic can still access most or all of the spaces that a person who can walk can access, which means making sure they have access to a wheelchair and public spaces have wide enough unobstructed aisles for those in wheelchairs to get through. This requires us to examine outcomes, not impartially treat all people the same (since the vast majority of people with the ability to walk wouldn't need the same assistance a paraplegic would).

In a society like ours this also means some people have to make sacrifices - the owner of a hole-in-the-wall restaurant may face difficulties because their current capacity comes at the cost of having narrow aisles, and making their shop accessible would reduce capacity. In some countries (like the US) this is illegal and they can get sued for it. For the owner this is very bad, but the alternative (society is inaccessible to people in wheelchairs) is worse.
Um, is your argument that "we could technically classify these random other things as 'privilege' if we really stretch the word, therefore more obviously problematic things related to privilege like family wealth, social status, and race don't need to be addressed?"

Because that's how it reads.

You also built a straw man by deliberately misunderstanding the word "equity." The word has been clearly defined since the Middle Ages and means simply "share of ownership." i.e. To be equitable, a business must pay all its employees both salary and shares in the company. Same as us software devs get.
Except they almost never “punch up”.

You don’t have blockbusters fictionalizing “the Trump saga” where he sells state secrets to Putin. Or Ruppert Murdock “Godfather” style fictional drama. Perhaps once they’re long dead, but surely not before.

It’s the Amanda Knox of the world that get the “let’s milk this while it’s fresh” treatment.
I don't think this is about hot-data optimization as such though, but about very short-term local clustering of keys.

I.e. it's not that a:b:c and a:b:d are globally accessed more often than x:y:z, but that after a:b:c is accessed it's more likely that the next access is a:b:d than x:y:z.
Hops outside of beer is toxic to dogs, it causes malignant hyperthermia. It's a problem for brewers who leave their hops where the dog can get at them (usually spent hops in the trash or a compost heap).

Beer brewed from hops doesn't cause hyperthermia, it's harmful to dogs because they experience the same effects of ethanol poisoning that humans do (e.g. cirrhosis), at much smaller doses.

I wonder how this would compare to a B-Tree where you've explicitly loaded large branches of the tree into cpu cache and perform multiple comparisons in a single cpu cycle.
I had a roommate in college who loved to play World of Warcraft.

At some point, we got into a discussion over art style and realism. He made an observation that still sticks with me.

"The style sets expectations. When something breaks a real world law of nature or logic because of a bug, it doesn't feel as jarring, because the style is already cartoon-y."

It made me think about just how malleable expectations are with regards to game systems. Train a player to expect realism, and breaches become infuriating. Train a player to expect the unexpected, and the unexpected becomes intriguing and fun.

Eh... I'd definitely do a Google Takeout to verify everything's OK before you delete your originals.

You may think the downsampled image is sufficient for lossy backups, but older images stored in "high quality" in my personal GP library were almost wholly stripped of metadata, including when the photo was taken.

(Many of my users have suffered from this as well, which is why I built tag value inference into PhotoStructure to try to help spackle over these metadata holes).
Sure it is. From wiki: Rent-seeking is the effort to increase one's share of existing wealth without creating new wealth.

Wow. Phrase above was almost certainly talking about the Holocaust.
It's not really "issues", but under heavy workloads the SoC will absolutely stay above 90 °C for extended periods of time, which, especially in clamshell mode, can cause the bottom part of the screen to heat up a lot.
I am absolutely stunned that people think that source control only came around recently in this thread. CVS came out in 1990, RCS... 1982, SCCS... 1972. Visual Source Safe was commonplace in the 1990s, as terrible as it was.

There may have been small teams that didn't use SC in the 1990s, but this has absolutely been a basic best practice for decades.

Why is a lucky genetic draw less of a privilege than a large inheritance?

Look at it this way - how much would a rich heir pay to go from ugly and stupid to beautiful and intelligent? I can't imagine a sum large enough that they wouldn't be willing to trade it away.
I'm just learning about this now and don't know enough to have an an opinion, but "his word against theirs" (the court's) should not be the basis for a conviction.
Docker and k8s, flannel, etc are all written in go and something I'd consider "systems programming" - I mean they have to do some pretty complex coordination w/ the kernel to do thier work.
