High DPI is great for text. It’s easier to read and way more crisp. High DPI is about edges and lines and details (like text), not colors!
Interesting way to think – we use additive color (RGB) on web so why not additive styling?

But in practice while creating interfaces, we're making broad brush strokes, then accommodating exceptions, like :last-child.

Also curious about how browsers prioritize the render stages – does every style get applied sequentially (hence cascading), or do pseudo selectors get applied later during the paint?

1. There's very little "getting started" info here, you seem to assume everyone already runs kube everywhere else and already has workloads ready to go.

2. Not sure if this is feasible, but I'm looking for something that solves the Docker Desktop problem! I want something that can port map to a local port for testing, I want something that I can map a local folder to in order to store job input/output.

3. I tried starting it, and I'm already running Docker Desktop. It didn't seem to start a healthy kube cluster, and actually did nothing for me but just said it was waiting for the cluster. It might have been attempting to connect to old Docker kube clusters that I'm no longer running. Did I just need to wait longer? It wasn't clear.
Yeah that would be cool! I guess that's actually not that hard to implement since I just need to do some sort of 2D convolution with the aperture shape, instead of just cv2.blur.

The tricky thing is that in order to get different amount of blur at different depths, I interpolate between precomputed 3 levels of blur, since that vectorizes well at -O3, I'm not sure how to compute a per-pixel varying blur efficiently without going to the GPU.
I too hate numeric keypad and being off-center. Especially when you need to keep notebook on lap.

But it is really hard to find notebook without numpad these days. Especially hard if it needs to work with linux out of the box.

There's many degrees of accuracy for truth that have nothing to do with ourselves. What you see and experience generally can reach a high level of accuracy -> "He is already an L6 by 30."

It is the motives and reasons behind events that are most subject to gap filling with our personal experiences "He must be climbing the corporate ladder."

When the Bible (via Jesus) speaks about judging, it is referring to being cautious with assessing motives, not drawing conclusions about factual happenings.

What sort of culture do you have when "the wrong hire" is seen as an active saboteur?

> Some employees simply can’t work fast; it’s not in their nature. Sometimes this is because of years of bad habits at worse companies, but more often it’s a product of something simpler: fear.

Perhaps the solution is to cultivate a culture of openness and create a collaborative rather than extractive and competitive environment within your company.

> Some employees just aren’t able to move without exact instructions; if something goes wrong they’d be in trouble, which is something they don’t want to deal with (or can’t deal with, emotionally).

Perhaps the solution is to cultivate a culture that failure is a learning experience.

> While these employees ask for permission, other employees just do - sometimes mistakes are made, but more often you end up with more work, more seized opportunities and an organization that makes magic happen more often then the competitors.

Perhaps many if not most engineers actually love the autonomy to identify and solve problems. Workplace autonomy is a function of management and experience level. Many people new in their careers need guidance, but whenever I see a team that isn't acting autonomously its because they are expressly forbidden from making decisions such as what to work on by the organization.

Coasters exist, but they stick out like a sore thumb in a small team.

You care about binary size is probably the first one. In my experience, increases in binary size cause an exponential increase in link time. You may have licensing restrictions (LGPL for example), or be using a binary thay was provided to you. Your source code might be set up in such a way that a monolithic build doesn't make sense.
I disagree. If a 5px margin is the general rule, then I would argue it's cleaner to apply it generally, and then apply the 10px margin exceptions in separate rules.

- When special cases are added or removed, the general rule won't have to be adjusted, just code that handles the special cases.

- On the other hand, a single general rule that specifically avoids application to multiple exceptional cases will be pretty long and have multiple :not()s, thus reducing readability and maintainability.

Why burden the general rule with knowledge of its exceptions? To me, doing so is a (small) violation of the principle of separation of concerns.
Received an unsolicited mail from them outlining the new terms, with no way to unsubscribe.
A contract is consent in both ways. Most people have not consented neither explicitly nor tacitly to any of this. I understand what the term means, but most people seem to stick with the enlightenment-age definition while in reality what we currently have in most states (eastern or western) is not a social contract, but a hostage situation.
Calling Swift functions from JavaScript using Frida
The thing about the situation is that you ideas accepted by the mainstream, that may or may not be true (I have more faith in physics than experimental psychology).

Then you have ideas which contradict this mainstream, "alternative approach" or whatever you want to call them. Some of these might be true. Speaking rough, an alternative approach that has a constituency becomes that constituency publicizes it anyway and the mainstream dissents.

Those constituency will naturally be the ones publishing those dissident ideas. And they should have a right to publish them and make them available. IE, it seems as if there'd be no reason to publish X just because it's controversial, if X is controversial, it has proponents and they can be the ones publishing it, not because it's controversial but because they believe it.

The thing is, there's a certain kind of position where the constituency doesn't want to be too identified with the ideas even if they hold them - usually ideas considered "hateful", a common example is racist positions and related opinions. Here, "I'm put this out because it's controversial, not because I believe it" is a common trope and I find it disingenuous.
That price is per person, not total. The highest total I've heard so far is going to cost that company $108k a month, for a development tool.

VCs are shooting themselves in the foot here: it is very obvious that we should never adopt any technical tool backed by VC, because they will eventually try to make us an offer we can't refuse and then go out of business shortly thereafter when their extortion attempt doesn't work.
My favourite advance from the last ten years has been around precision cooking. Sous vide is perhaps the most well known, but you can now get sensors to automatically control a bbq, steam and temperature controlled ovens are becoming more common/affordable (still waiting for a home-use Rational), etc. I love being able to cook with consistent quality and easily repeatable results.
I don't think polarity has anything to do with this. The idea is that we can't distinguish at all between two independent light waves, one at ~600nm (red) and one at ~540nm (green), vs a single light wave at ~580nm (yellow).
Well-Typed Programs Can Go Wrong-A Study of Typing-Related Bugs in JVM Compilers [pdf]
I was specifically referring to the optimization fence on CTEs. PG still doesn't have query hints, and it seems like the core team has an ideological opposition to building query hint capabilities. Their stance has been that query hints often lead to suboptimal behavior because queries often don't change over time, but data sets do, so relying on statistics allows your query plans to change with different data. A query hint, on the other hand, may lead to an optimal query execution today, but a terrible one tomorrow.

Over the years Postgres has steadily chipped away at almost all of the reasons why I would ever want query hints. Only two frustrations remain:

* the optimizer is not aware of TOAST storage. This means that for tables with lots of large objects (geospatial in my case), the optimizer only sees the costs of the table with a pointer to the large object, as opposed to the cost of pulling table with the large object.

* The optimizer only has singular statically configured costs for functions and aggregates, but costs can actually dramatically vary based on the size of the data inputs, the size of the aggregate "window", etc.

Overall, these are rarely a big enough deal for me to not choose Postgres. I see the default planner behavior as better than the default planners for both Oracle and SQL Server, but it is still possible that the lack of query hints could be a deal breaker. If you get a chance, give it another try...I think you might be surprised at how far Postgres has come since the 9.X days.

As far as number 3, I guess I should clarify that they've dramatically reduced the connection overhead, but I shouldn't have said "fixed". It may or may not be reduced enough for your requirements.

Potentially just a few of those cores alone will allow for wakeword recognition! This in-memory analog compute breakthrough is to me, in the truest sense of the word, mindblowing.

>That is not at all what "embrace, extend, extinguish" refers to.

I'll agree with that.

It still is "use X when convenient, profit off X, build your own replacement piecemeal, throw X away and let it die" though.
I'll agree and add one example: from a repeated sequence of played notes, and a repeated sequence of flashing colors - I can readily identify a modified note, however not a modified color. For context imagagine 10 seconds of a song VS 10 seconds of flashing lights... If on the 3rd repetition of the pattern, one random note was changed and one random color was changed, which change would be most immediately obvious?
For some reason IT dept hates as I get notification when I try to use it. I think coz it jumps over so many IP addresses.
If the IT department can't do its job because of resource constraints likely the whole organization is a failure.

If you can't run, do whatever makes your live better. The org is doomed anyway.
The in vivo response has been studied. This site has a fairly complete index to studies so far.

https://c19ivermectin.com/

I recommend ignoring the editorial content on that site and just read the original studies directly. None are really conclusive one way or the other due to small subject groups or other limitations. At least one study has been retracted. So more research is still needed.
I don't see why you can just find a new job and tell them to sod off. Sure its not always the right answer to leave and try to effect change from within. But if Apple is SOO stacked against the employees I am not sure why anyone wants to be there.

Well said :) pretty funny, I mean. The subject under consideration, however, isn't too clear - is there an opinion that speech limits in principle can't be justified by benefits the speech critics claim? It's possible - after all, a crude and simple rule is easier to follow or see it broken - but not completely obvious. Maybe I'm not seeing something?
One contracting job I had, on my first day one of my tasks was to do some grunt work right in front of the bathrooms. The men's door was squeaky as all hell.

"Oh don't worry, it's always done that."

I lasted as long as I could but I finally walked over to the shop crew and asked if I could borrow some WD-40. "I'll bring it back in 10 minutes."

10 minutes later it's all "Thanks guys!", "No problem", and "Wow you really did mean 10 minutes!". [Note: I'm a man so there was no problem me stepping into the men's bathroom to make the repair myself].

And the door never squeaked again. My sanity was saved; it turns out I would be doing a decent amount of grunt work in that same area over my contract.

If anyone else ever noticed, they never said a word. The door had always squeaked and literally everyone either didn't care or did nothing about it; it just was how it was.
The fact that images are not content-addressed is very surprising to me. I just always assumed they were because… why wouldn’t they be? I bet a large proportion of other devs assumed the same.
Linux has been my daily driver for the past month, let me tell you why it shouldn't be.

20 mins ago I was getting Steam set up. I want to try Protons experimental features on Battlefield 4 to test for any glaring issues before the new game releases. Proton switches over, I go to install, and I'm told I don't have execute permissions on the disk I want to use.

Okay, I did have some issues with that disk initially, I probably messed with a setting that needs changed. Let me check folder permissions. Those looks good, let's check the partition itself. Yup, still a colored rectangle. Everything looks like it always does. I get to Googling and see someone on the AskUbuntu forums mention that my config should look like theirs with, "Show in user interface" checked off for that partition. I'm not using Ubuntu but it seems like a general fix and I didn't see an AskManjaro in the Google results, so I do that and reboot. No joy.

Keep digging at Google, find a Steam forum post about this. user notes that for security the disk would not be able to execute programs by default. Okay, sure, that makes a kind of sense. I follow his instructions and tag the drive as "users, exec, {something I've forgotten and will likely bite me in the ass in a weeks time}". and I go to reboot to make sure everything is on the same page. That's when the problems started.

FATAL ERROR. My first, yippie. After slamming my forehead against the keyboard in the correct pattern I was able to enter my root password and get to work. reading through the one-thousand-and-thirty-five lines of the journal file, I found the error around line 900. To paraphrase: disk don't mount no more. Out of pure luck I remembered that someone in the forums mentioned /etc/fstab, which is the text version of the config I'd been screwing with. I erased everything but "user" in the field I changed before and rebooted and managed to get myself in. The keen eyed among you will have seen that I had spaces in the field the first time I put it in. I think that fucked me.

On boot I licked my finger and stuck it back in the light socket, changing the field again to "user,exec" and mounting. Well praise be to Jesus, Allah, and whatever the hell Tom Cruise got roped into, because not only did the drive actually mount, Steam stopped whining at me and started a download.

I have no idea if the game will work, the download has another hour to go as I write this. Earlier today I saw this post and wanted to talk about how I've enjoyed Linux so far, and I still do! But Linux isn't built for users, it's built for technicians. You don't run Linux, you maintain it. I like this, but that's because I want to learn more about Linux and these miniature trial by fires force me to. If you're the kind of person who just wants something to either work or not, and can't be bothered to deal with an hour of 'maybe', stick with Windows.

Peer Review: Long Covid: Much More Than You Wanted to Know
The current US president, who anyone that isn't raised on a diet of right-wing talk radio would consider a moderate Democrat (not from the left or progressive wing of the party at all), locked up lots of people in the 1990s, a period where there was general social and political appetite for widespread incarceration. At approximately the same time, a few years earlier, the last president you mention (then a private citizen) was using his money to take out ads in the newspaper calling for the execution of proven innocent black men.

Later, after being elected president, that president (who most would consider pretty politically incoherent on traditional ideological divides, and animated almost entirely on the single issue of defending the American ethnic against "others" without and within, and who spent most of his presidency calling for the broader use of violence against perceived criminals, oversaw a record return to federal capital punishment, expanded the use of paramilitary law enforcement, and directly assumed control of law enforcement using loopholes in the executive branch's authority to do so) signed a bipartisan crime reform bill he had nothing to do with at the urging of a reality tv star who is pretending to become a lawyer and who was briefly married to a mentally ill rapper who for some reason endorsed the president.

If we're looking to ascribe an ideological dimension to crime politics in the US, it would be easy: during the entire modern party system, Republicans have consistently been to the right of Democrats on crime (even in periods where Democrats have been, in a global sense, to the right of the median). The bulk of major crime bills have been nearly unanimous consent, including both the 1994 Crime bill and the First Step Act, but the contents of those bills have compromises where the right seeks "tougher" provisions and the left seeks more conciliatory provisions.

Court politics has been even more obviously partisan. Of the current Supreme Court justices, Thomas and Alito favour obviously expanding the use of capital punishment and view most litigation related to it a liberal plot to undermine the justice system; Breyer and Sotomayor have signalled they believe the constitution more or less mandates abolition. It's a clear as day divide. Most other criminal justice issues have the same dimensions in the courts, and even lower in the circuit courts as well.
I'm not even sure myself, and I spent two years studying it.

That's what I thought this was doing, based on the description. The reason that Meet backgrounds look fake is because they do a Gaussian Blur instead of simulating a lens. A physical bokeh will blow out highlights, whereas a Gaussian Blur will smooth out bright spots.
They've expressed anti-competitive behavior from the beginning, but it's advanced over time. It's the confluence of factors that makes it particularly bad in Apple's case. You can't chance the software (OS) on the device. You can't run iOS on a different set of hardware. You can't run any store but the App Store on iOS. You can't deliver software to customers without using the App Store (or jumping through hoops for very limited methods of getting it on there otherwise). It's not that 30% was ever good or bad, but that initially there was no competition, and at every step Apple has taken steps to make sure competing is extremely hard to do, by tying you to an entire ecosystem.

Android is better in some respects, but is mostly happy to not actually compete on a lot of levels because that would possibly endanger the 30% industry standard. What we have is two extremely large players, so large and so establishes and in a market that takes so much money to enter that new competitors are at an extreme disadvantage agreeing, even if tacitly, that the fees for their stores are not something they will compete on.

That's not better than when they agreed they wouldn't hire each other's employees (which they were punished for). It benefits only themselves at the detriment of everyone else, and through market manipulation. If they actually cared to compete, we would see competition in store fees.
