I like GIMP. All its features are straightforward and accessible and make sense to me. For this reason, I like it more than Affinity Photo (can't wrap my head around showing or hiding different features based on what "persona" you have active).

There are rough edges. The name, for one. The save/export fiasco. One of the transform tools recently became completely broken. But anything I can imagine doing in image manipulation can usually be done in GIMP with a minimum of fuss.
the credit card requirement is because they use a deposit lock instead of a withdraw. which does not work with a debit card.
most german providers use it, because it's less burocratic. taking money for a deposit is generally easier to handle for them.
I'm not even sure if they would be able to hold deposits without a 3rd party that has a license for that.
At least where I live it is. I’ve personally witnessed two instances of excessive force and been a victim of excessive force myself.

And the last police shooting was ultimately about stolen property. They killed a father to be and a fetus over a suspected stolen car.

So no, I haven’t departed reality. But yes, not all police departments are like this (mine specifically has been under federal oversight for years).
I’ve noticed it too. I think there are features of some sort already on on the backend, though obviously not fool-proof.
Not just Facebook. Look at ring cameras, or dash cameras. The curtain twitching has been weaponised, partly by Facebook (platform to post pictures of “the wrong sorts”), but by other companies providing those cameras too.
I started on a TI-99/4a and learned to program on one. Some of the games you could buy on cartridge were really good for the early 80s, and the TI had great sound. The built in basic was pretty limited, but Extended Basic was great. Extended basic had programmable sprites, and you could write some pretty nice games with it. Everything else required a disk drive... so...

The downside to the TI was to get faster storage than a cassette deck, you had to buy an "peripheral expansion box" that often cost $2000, which was almost 10x more than the computer itself. I remember when my Dad bought the computer, he got it on sale in '82 for $199.
Good one, I just assumed Latin. You’re probably closer with Germanic.

Still, reddish, we’re likely back to ferrous metals.
It depends on the speed of your connection. The IQrouter is nice but its SQM starts to fall over around 350 Mbps:

Honestly, you could probably make a business out of a store that sells only high quality gear. Like headphones.com but for more than just headphones.

I'm sick of spending hours researching shit just to find something decent, whether it's screwdrivers or thermostats or lightbulbs.
I do think the feature has more legitimate uses in library code, yeah. However:

1) I'm working in a TypeScript codebase at work right now where people are often struggling with the types, because one of our main libraries got way too complex with their generic aliases. It creates error messages that are impossible to follow, and it's become a real drag on productivity, even in a library. This is in contrast with other TypeScript projects I've worked on that used different libraries and did not face this problem.

2) Bagel is being intended as an application-focused language (not unlike Go in that way). Not that people couldn't or wouldn't write libraries in it, but the expectation is that the most fundamental and general constructs will come batteries-included.

Expressivity is a double-edged sword. I'm making a particular choice about how best to strike that balance for Bagel's intended use-cases, and I'm going to see how it pans out. It also isn't set in stone yet; I plan on doing some projects in Bagel before all is said and done, as a way of seeing how this stuff impacts projects in practice.

But sure, everyone’s a terrorist, great contribution.
I let my Prime lapse years ago and I've been boycotting them ever since.

Prime is a scam anyway. If I need something immediately then I goto the store. If I can wait then a week is fine (everywhere else has 2 day shipping now anyway). 2 days is a weird timeframe. It's fake convenience, an uncanny valley.
So you must be a fan of Volkswagen, Ford, Stellantis, GM, Geely, Tata, Renault, Nissan, and Hyundai for the same huge reason.

That inability doesn't only show in not implementing features but also in the way functions are implemented - A good example is the forced save to xcf introduced in 2.8. Apparently it is more professional. Anyway there is a patch for that by vitalif. You can find prebuild packages here: http://vmx.yourcmc.ru/var/debian/unstable/

It will fix most problems by removing the save/export filetype restriction and disabling some forced warnings.

Another thing I found recently when trying to use GIMP for a simple task was that GIMP is "not a drawing program". You have no good way to handle simple vector shapes and lines. There are some semi-functional workarounds using selections or the drawing tool or even a filter (render/gfig). These all have various downsides in that they cannot be easily adjusted once applied to an image.

There is no good reason for simple shape vector editing not being in GIMP since you need some vector functions for say Font rendering. Similar Apps I cannot use in Linux (wine is not an option thanks to DRM) have had functions like that since the early 90ies.

Thanks for this Jeff. I had built the airgradient and was slowly chipping away at the Prometheus/Grafana config when this popped up on HN a few weeks ago. It was v satisfying to skip the intervening headbanging and get to the air quality monitoring.
How is this better than using IdentiesOnly and explicitly listing the one and only key that should be used for a given destination?
It seems you're right, the link you give looks credible to me. I'm from Germany living in Portugal and in both countries the default is "No, it's not allowed (but with exceptions)", so that explains my wrong generalization.

That it's allowed in other countries makes these glasses much worse, as it probably also means you have less legal options against their use (and the equivalent uses of phones). I'm a bit astonished, too. I wonder how people deal with creeps in those countries who film and photograph women without their consent on the beach, etc. After all, that's the primary use case for such spyware devices, which used to be available online long before Facebook and Ray Ban suggested them.
But this can happen with certain products, including housing, by driving new demand. Imagine your street has a great fruit store that caters to locals and is a bit busy but reasonably priced.

Three other fruit stores see the demand and open up, offering slightly different fruit and other higher margin products like pies and smoothies. People start coming from all over the city for fruit, and tourists come to try local fruit they can't get at home.

Now you have four busy fruit stores, and they gradually raise prices and focus on higher margin items instead of everyday fruits and veg.

This happens all the time with bars and restaurants, too, as a neighborhood gets trendy. And it can happen with housing, because upscale housing brings rich people to the neighborhood, which makes other rich people feel more at home, even in less fancy housing.
Wouldn't be surprised if engineers at Amazon are starting to buy from other retailers because they don't want to have a shitty experience themselves.

The problem with the proof-of-work concept, which is raised frequently, is that the vast majority of DoS traffic today comes from attackers that don't pay for their work. They're using botnets of compromised devices. So all a PoW requirement tends to do, in practice, is make their botnet run a little bit warmer.

Sure, you could crank up the difficulty until it makes the cost of the attack too high, but then all your users will get mad - that's basically what CloudFlare does and it attracts non-stop criticism.

Another way we could put this is that asymmetric work requirements are basically the definition of a network service. If we require the client to do enough computation that it expends as many resources as the backend, in a lot of ways there's no reason for the backend to even exist! People will be prone to migrate to a peer-to-peer or desktop solution instead of using your very very slow website.

Or a little more of a hot-take: the idea of proof-of-work requirements to prevent abuse of systems with asymmetric workload is almost as old as network systems. A prominent example is "hashcash" for email, introduced 1997. These have so routinely failed to gain any traction that we need to consider that the proof-of-work idea tends to come from a fundamental misunderstanding of the problem. Increasing the cost to the attacker sounds great until you consider that in most real-world situations, the attacker's budget is effectively infinite... because for a couple decades now these types of abuses have originated mostly from compromised systems, not from systems the attacker controls. Proof-of-work requirements still reduce the volume the attacker is capable of, but trends like IoT and the general proliferation of computing mean that the attacker's potential resources continually expand. More difficult PoW, in most cases, will only cause the attacker to make a relatively one-time investment of obtaining a new set of compromised resources (new botnet, new exploit to distribute existing botnet, etc). The increase in "per-item" cost to the attacker tends to never materialize.
When Dart was launched Javascript (Typescript) was not really a enjoyable language to use. For me at least it filled that void as a strongly typed language I could use on the web and server side that was easy to pick up. I thjnk that was the niche it was trying to fill and wasnt just made for the sake of it.
One of your biggest risks is that you end up the hook for stuff that you can't sell. That severity of that risk scales with price of goods, so your margins have to have a component that scales with price of goods to cover that risk.
Using this method (and other related "test" functions) I discovered that the default iOS calculator operates with significantly greater precision that the popular third party "PCalc", which was a little disappointing.

Products don't sell themselves. It takes people, planning, and effort to run a business.

If I'm doing $Y this year, and next year I want to do 2x$Y, costs will actually increase superlinear to revenues. The goal of every company is to reach a point where revenues outpace costs, but business doesn't work that way and things are rarely predictable and many successes are rarely repeatable.

If you're a retail business, it costs money to maintain a lease and storefront not to mention hire and manage employees. You also have overhead to deliver product to each individual store, and shipping isn't free. Nor is the coordination of deciding what product to ship to what store, because maybe they have different weather and one place sells more of a certain category.

Maybe you're selling online, so you have to invest in performance marketing. Or you're sending catalogues through a 3rd party vendor. Reaching new customers is expensive.

Maybe you decide to invest in in-house manufacturing, which requires many millions in upfront capital expenses, equipment acquisition, and expensive ERP integrations with machining and scheduling software.

Actually running a business is hard, and there are many variables that come up. The best you can do is try and maintain a consistent margin, and manipulate the many different levers available to do so. Maybe that's opening new stores, or closing poor performers. Maybe it's laying off staff. Maybe it's expanding into new categories, or cutting your loss on categories that didn't work out. Maybe your staple product that was driving the core of your business for years is quickly loosing steam, and you have to find alternatives.

If only the product cost was my biggest concern.
You're asking for opaque types. This is kinda possible in typescript but you can only approximate it unfortunately.

You may also want to consider a branded type, which can be useful but a little less strict.
There are plenty of high end leather shoes made in the US, UK, or Europe that will set you back anywhere from $250 to $1k+. Back when massdrop used to feature a wide selection of items, shoes used to feature quite regularly.
You may be blocking the javascript needed for this page to render properly. I'm on Firefox 92.0.1, saw what you saw at first, then in uMatrix I enabled "script" coming from "code.jquery.com". Page renders fine now.

I believe you should be able to avoid docker image size bloat by combining `install rust; do things that need rust; uninstall rust` into one run directive (same with anything that needs any compiler). It's not a runtime dependency.
And if you just handled the ddos by dropped the correct traffic the service would be unaffected.

Edit: At first by TypedArray I thought you meant Array<...>; I forgot there was an actual TypedArray in JavaScript.

The answer is roughly the same though: I'll be giving Bagel types to any built-in JS APIs that get exposed, and not all of them will be included (though the list could grow over time). I'm not sure about TypedArray specifically. Generally on this sort of thing I'm looking to Elm for guidance: it's about the same level of application-focused, batteries-included, curated language that I'm aiming for. I don't believe TypedArrays are available in Elm right now (though from a quick search it looks like there's been a little bit of interest here or there).

One thing that will be interesting (thinking out loud here) is exposing certain browser APIs where both the side-effect and the return value are important, since that can't really be expressed in Bagel semantics as-is. I don't think there are a huge number of those, but it will be fun to tackle those cases.
As with software development, some people have done this before and learned their lesson, others never do.

Once upon a time it was completely normal to have manual processes in your final build process. Something like a word processor in the 1990s would have one of the team sat at a machine building the "gold" binaries by hand, maybe following a checklist, likely hand written. OK, so we need to drag all the files except these two into this folder, then run this program...

Today, hopefully most of you today would see that's awful and you'd forbid it on a project you led and insist on CI instead.

Toy Story in particular had to be re-rendered to produce the 3D re-release over a decade later, and Pixar did that. They chose not to later re-render to 4K because in their opinion it isn't worth the effort compared to just upscaling it.
Well - one of the nice things about Prime (at least here in Ann Arbor) - is there is a ton of same day stuff that is available as well for free shipping. Also - Expanse justified a bit of expanse. And, if you have "Family" sharing your Prime account, that also offsets the cost.

> But it always seemed as a man, women basically gave you +2 in attractiveness just for having the confidence to go up and introduce yourself.

In my experience, you are 110% correct.

I first saw my wife giving a speech and remembered her name. Two weeks later, I went up and introduced myself, with "Hello, <name>, my name is <ghoward>. Thank you for your [speech] about <thing>."

There are a few interesting things about what she noticed. First, she didn't really notice that I got "<thing>" wrong. (I mixed her speech up with another person's.) Second, the reason she didn't notice is because all she noticed was that I remembered her name!

And finally, as we were preparing to get married, many guys in our community got up in arms about how the community "superstar" was marrying me, someone known to be less attractive. My wife says all of the time that she chose me simply because I actually introduced myself and (later) asked her on a date.

Though all of that doesn't explain how she still finds me attractive, especially since she now knows I'm not that confident after all...
Taking what belongs to someone else and choosing how it will be used without the owner's consent is the purest essence of theft. It makes no difference whatsoever that—according to your own values and preferences, not theirs—you think the benefit outweighs the cost. You don't get to make that choice for them. Regardless of how the money is used the very fact that their choice was taken away is harmful in itself, and only by returning what was stolen—plus compensation for lost time and opportunities—can the victim be made whole.
Do you mean that it’s noticeably more difficult than the equivalent process in other states?

It's not possible with SSL/TLS. But there are ways to downgrade to http in some cases. All the corporate inspection tools I know don't use this by the way.

Many of these corporate inspection tools seem to leave traffic on nonstandard ports alone by the way, just saying ;)
The simple answer is that VPN services are really pretty easy to stand up. There is an enormous menu of VPN services out there, and many of them are basically some slapped-together Ansible playbooks and machines in sketchy datacenters. Running a VPN service is actually advantageous in this regard, because you can place a lot of your infrastructure in the cheapest DC markets and it almost comes off as a feature (look at all those global PoPs!). And now more and more VPN services allow resellers, so you don't even need the Ansible playbooks... you can just sign up to resell.

It's basically the 2010s version of web hosting in that regard, an industry that absolutely proliferated with tiny companies that were ultimately just reselling larger providers or running their own infrastructure very shoddily. It was seen as easy money, and that was true to an extent until they proliferated so much that it was hard to grab many customers... which lead to some very heavy-handed advertising pushes.

Consider, for example, the large number of Usenet providers that have affiliated VPN services now... they're priced so cheap it's hard to imagine them making much money off of them, but consider that they're just reselling from a larger Usenet provider that already has a lot of owned capacity and bandwidth. Since Usenet is so storage heavy they may just run the VPN endpoints right on their NNTP servers. It's basically free for them to offer!

> were previously supported

I think it was over this debacle, definitely over some debacle, someone made a great blog post that pointed out this wording is usually incorrect (edit: Link https://blog.yossarian.net/2021/02/28/Weird-architectures-we... HN Thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26294397).

It previously worked, but no one was promising support for niche architectures. It just happened to work (at least enough that there weren't obvious bugs, who knows if fully). Expecting support for every non-standard way you can use the software is usually not a reasonable expectation of maintainers.
Even with this, you're still 20 years away from working clinical trials. These drugs are a dead end until the industry and the FDA come to a firm agreement on what biomarker represents Alzheimer's, and what that time scale looks like. They will never get past phase two clinical trials. 20 year clinical trials are just too expensive, and the patent window is too short.

Also, there are mice with genetic engineering to approximate Alzheimer's.
