This is hacker news self selection talking. The filter: The few who found computer science through gaming and made a cushion of a life which let's us the time luxury to post on an online forum in the middle of a Monday(at least it is the middle of a Monday for me). Meanwhile countless lives went into backbreaking labour work if that in the "below the API" sort of uber and amazon delivery work. These lives and their stories will rarely be represented here. I am speaking for a friend who went into construction and got injured and is on disability at the age of 35. He said he could have made so much more of his life had he not played 24/7 video games for several of his most precious formative years during high-school and early college (of which he dropped out).
Biden Administration Launches U.S. Digital Corps
China is where the USA was 20-30 years ago. Had video games been as advanced in the 90s as they are today, the USA would have instituted similar policies back then. There was a huge crusade against gaming in the 90s, particularly when it came to children playing videogames.

The USA benefits from having an older population who grew up playing videogames. Anyone under 40 probably played games at least a little bit growing up. And those under 30 almost certainly did, as games started becoming more broadly appealing in the PS2 era. So they view games in a much different way than their parents, who largely knew nothing about videogames did.
If you like Bach played on authentic instruments, you must know the "All of Bach" recordings

https://www.bachvereniging.nl/en/about-allofbach

All of Bach is a project of the Netherlands Bach Society. High-quality recordings of the works by Johann Sebastian Bach are made freely available for everyone.
So, in a way, you could be seen as arguing for authoritarianism.

> And you're trying to treat the disease by treating the symptoms

So, for example, Opiods. In the United States we're treating the symptoms by banning it (and this is pretty much supported by both political parties). Yet we know the root cause: People that are effectively feeling worthless, do not feel connected to a specific social group and/or disengaged from culture.

Other aspects of our entire culture is causing people to feel like that: 1. Changing family values, 2. Disconnected from people, connected to devices and online popularity, 3. Impossible to succeed and feel valuable.

I feel like we have a really weird problem: Our capitalistic environment or, greed in general, are driving these problems. So the solution is authoritarianism.

Sorry that's just the way my mind works. I see right through issues to their root causes and it makes my worldview weird.
Fascinating. Gives extra context/colour to DR-GEM running on TOS, and later ties of codenames Borg (OS/2 2.1) and Ferengi (OS/2 for Windows).
The catalog only contains the edits and changes to an image, it doesn't actually contain any images.

Lightroom can move or copy images to a new folder for you, but they're still just normal image files you can open with any supported software.
Online tool to send anyone a real letter
After writing 2 calendar programs, I came to conclusion nothing beats pen and paper for keeping todos and personal tasks. I bought a large wirebound sketchbook, and fine tip pen. Plan my day, then take a photo of my day's or weeks tasks. Very fast to do, plus all the freedom and sensory experience of drawing on paper. Works for me.
I guess its a hybrid of manual and digital.
I learned Spades in the USNavy, and didn't realize that it was intimately associated with African-American culture at all. I preferred Spades, but the most popular card game (at that time, in that setting) was Euchre.
The fix is to properly document your code. "Clever" code is an anti-pattern, but there's no need to make your code less elegant or less properly engineered than it otherwise could be. Hacked-together, low quality code is even less maintainable than "overly clever" code, so it's worth trying to avoid that.
You got down voted for sarcasm in a way people don't like and missing context, through yes GPL is a contract and you don't sue for GPL violations in front of the copyright curt but for people not having a license as the GPL contract was automatically terminated due to violations.

Which conflicts would those be?
Federal trademarks grant you the mark in areas you apply for. And you can still lose it.

1. "Buying" is usually 15$ in my experience, not 3$.

2. Like said, the limitation is not technical, it's purely milking users.

3. I like to own stuff and sometimes play older games and watch older movies. Renting is just a non-starter for that, unless you want to overpay out the nose.

> After school or during weekends we kids went to the camp every day. I remember that we secretly brought beer (as a present) to the GIs so that their officers didn't notice and that I played chess with them in their tents.

So, now you kids today know another reason why we old timers are like we are.

I didn't do exactly this, but I will admit now, 25 years later that I collected unused cartridges after military exercises and brought loads of them in my bag at the plane :-)
This sounds like it doesn't have anything to do with Lightroom, but is instead file corruption caused by some kind of bug.

Lightroom catalogs also don't contain any images, I think a lot of people are confused and think it does.
If you like baroque music, I can't help but plug my own New York City-based ensemble (named after Bach himself), the Sebastians: https://www.sebastians.org I'm the group's harpsichordist and director.

> Modern games though are clearly designed to get you as addicted as possible and to play as long as possible to an extent that made the old school 90s RPGs grinds look tame and mild.

You do realize the term "quarter muncher" isn't a modern one right? We had plenty of those types meth-level-addiction games back in the early days of gaming too.
I was agreeing with the claim that the vaccines aren't as effective as the public was initially led to believe.

A dip in effectiveness after 6 months seems to follow that line of reasoning just fine.

No one should be reasonably expected to get a booster every 6 months.

Side note: I also can't stand when the "total vaccinated %" includes children. We all know they can't be vaccinated yet and any total % vaccinated that includes them is disingenuous. I realize it was my source, but I digress.
> There's just no error handling needed to begin with, except right at the end, if the number is not in any of the three supported formats.

I would argue that if (!result) is a form of error handling, as result being falsy indicates that the parsing failed.
This would remove even the thinnest barrier for other nations to benefit from this info without having "paid" for it.
I think the whole area (rightly) suffers from "Bikeshed" syndrome - this is something everybody can have an opinion on, and 90% of the time their opinions are right for them. At work you know someone who schedules appointments with themselves just to block out some time, or schedules meeting with you because emails don't get a response and ...

The solution is not more protocols, or opinionated software.

The solution is that every individual should have the skills (software literacy) and the infrastructure (some combination of a diary server with an API in fifty languages) and tools (come on iPhone, really whatever you are doing it's a total mess)

At some point with Mailbox any coder will have built an sub-AI agent from 200 regexes - and that's probably what will smoosh out across the world - oh yes I let my Virtual AI / PA handle that, it was coded by my brother in law and I made a few config changes.

Seems to be aimed at more junior level applicants than the US Digital Service (https://www.usds.gov/), which is what I initially confused this with.

From another source [1]:

> "The idea for a Digital Corps was sparked by technologists across government who identified a gap in the federal government's journey towards digital success — a lack of early‑career technology talent," it says. "TTS recognized the need for entry‑level technologists to not only bring immediate innovation but also to serve as a continuing resource for government digital transformation. These technologists would help complement the civic technology efforts already underway by organizations like TTS while bringing in fresh perspectives."

i have the same intuition

in the end, it seems a lot of people just want well defined rules (that work to a reasonable extent) to follow and instead use their thinking for solving the actual problem at hand (programming)

its not unreasonable, especially if someone is hired to be just a "coder", there might be some hiring/expectations issues hidden in there too...
you are right, I am convinced, this was obviously the best action the Americans could have done. Why is it so hard for people to get that?
PFOF (more broadly, HFT + maker taker) has tightened retail spreads on both underlying AND options to levels previously unfathomable. I don’t get why people think retail are the ones getting ripped off. Retail order flow is uninformed. It’s profitable for that reason, and nothing nefarious.

Institutional traders are the ones hurt by all of this. HFT latency arbing every single sniff you put out, front running every fill. PFOF has removed the uninformed order flow for hedge funds to trade against so they’re left trading against each other, or getting their lunch eaten by the aforementioned HFT.
Counterpoint: now that nobody has a custom ring tone, all the iphones sound the same so you have to check if you were the one who got a call.
Looking seriously for the first time in a few years and it's shocking how much worse the process has gotten.

I did a technical, live coding screen for 45 minutes. It went well enough that they were interested in moving forward. 4, one hour long technical interviews and another hour with management, all spread out over the course of a day. I'm already working full time with a family and I'm expected to burn through an entire day of PTO? And to add to it there was no response as to what would be covered during these 4 separate technical interviews.

What's really maddening is that it's our fellow software engineers that are doing this to us. We're the ones that think it's okay to do "take home assignments" and essentially work for free. We know how awkward and stressful live coding exercises are but yet we do them. We value our time and work/life balance but yet think it's okay for every candidate to go through 3+ hours of interviews.

The one thing that's helped keep me sane through all of this was having watched Jem Young's Frontendmasters course "Interviewing for Front-End Engineers".

Not much different. The advantage with using validity-preserving operations is that you can follow-up with more operations to satisfy additional constraints.

> couldn't one then argue that they did have a license that they then violated?

It's a thin line, but I would say no as they only had a license for a single thing, while GPL is a license for any amount of usage. What was violated was the context of usage, not that illigal copies where made (I mean copies => copyright ;=) ).

But I had similar thoughts, it's a really thin line.
I have [this CD](https://www.allmusic.com/album/vivaldi-the-four-seasons-conc...) from 1990 of Vladimir Spivakov and the Moscow Virtuosi playing Vivaldi's Four Seasons. I have never heard a version of the Four Seasons that was so vibrant. Unfortunately I've never been able to find the exact recording on a streaming service, but I cherish that album.
Your app looks interesting. I'll check it out!

I learned conversational French, German, Russian and Spanish as an adult. The method that worked best for me is similar to what you mentioned. I watched as many shows as I could in the various languages. I listened to native language programming and attempted to read as much material in the languages as possible. While I was doing this, I was also working through Rosetta Stone, which worked well for me. I also went to language MeetUps and just absorbed the sounds and patterns of conversation.

When I did decide to join the conversation, I took on a philosophy of fearlessness and just went for it. Sure, many mistakes were made, but I had zero negative feedback from my attempts. When I later travelled, I adopted this same attitude. I knew I was going to make mistakes, but I generated a lot of goodwill for my attempts. Sometimes I got corrections, sometimes I had to repeat myself, sometimes I would get an answer back in English, whatever! No one ever shamed me and my skills continued to improve.
It's obviously implied US agencies are spying on foreign corporations/companies to bring trade secrets to US corporations/companies/agencies.

Historically, totalitarian "experimentation" hasn't gone so well.
That's simply not how it works. The active sonar on your kayak has nowhere near enough power or resolution to detect a military submarine at sufficient range for reliable collision avoidance. Due to the inverse square law, active sonars have to put out a huge amount of power to detect submarines at any useful range. This is a proven risk to marine life.

The only thing I sometimes have a problem with is when going through a payment flow using PayPal and forgetting to open the site in a persistent container. Many sites will fail to process the payment on the redirect back to the site as it ends up in another container.

I haven't looked recently, but I didn't see an option to open a site in an existing temporary container based on domain if there is one already open which I believe would solve this.
So, does that actually work in a proper terminal? Or is it only when you have a framebuffer available?

> They try to emulate GUI but do it poorly

I dispute that point. Firstly, because TUIs and GUIs were developed pretty much in parallel, as far as I‘m aware. But secondly (and more importantly), because TUIs fill a different niche and follow a different philosophy to GUIs.

TUIs are primarily intended for environments where GUIs are either not available (e.g. SSH), unnecessary (e.g. servers), or overkill (e.g. very old computers). In terms of design and UX philosophy, they are much more concentrated on keybased rather than mousebased interaction, and bring their own set of conventions that are markedly different from GUI design philosophy.

So, while you are entitled not to like TUIs (they can be difficult to work with), calling them a bad emulation of GUIs really misses the point.
Your project looks amazing. I am in the same situation where I am learning Cantonese because my partner and her family speak it (actually Taishanese, but Cantonese is close enough).

Love the Yale romanization for your included Cantonese flash cards! Definitely going to check this out.

As for listening before speaking: It has been incredibly hard for me to pick out specific vocabulary with colloquial Cantonese in movies and other videos. Native speakers talk too quickly for me right now. I did watch a lot of French movies when learning French and that seemed to help more with comprehension later. I likely just need to spend more time with Cantonese since it is more different to my native tongue than French.
> I challenge you to pick a random piece of paper, put it on the kitchen table, take a shot with your phone, and look at the result. Tell me it's not easily readable.

That's a straw man. I never claimed that you can't take a readable photograph of a document with a phone.

The gist of my point is your idea seems to be mainly about insurance against catastrophic destruction (which happens, but infrequently). You're very focused on basic usability of the output of your proposed project, but you don't address 1) if your digitization will survive long enough to do its job as insurance, 2) damage that your project could cause (e.g. poorly paid workers being careless and damaging or disorganizing things irreparably).

I've read a very little bit about archival science, but one of the basic things they emphasize is preserving the original organization, because important information can be encoded in it. That could get easily get lost by minimum wage workers spilling documents on the floor, or rearranging things to make their job easier (e.g. when I used to scan receipts, I'd order them by width and rough length, because that would cause the fewest issues with the document feeder). Then you have issues with old fragile documents, accidentally tearing things out of binders, etc.)
Recent failures by Boeing aside, the amount of thought that goes into the holistic safety of commercial aircraft is astounding. It kind of blows my mind how hardened a typical passenger cabin is to fire, not to mention other hazards.
There is a time for nuance and there is a time for condemnation. This isn't the time for nuance. It's a government telling people what they can and can't do.
