Hey! Yes, that's why I thought to bring it up in the comments here, just in case there were other people in the same boat. I'm glad it worked for you.

I've been wanting to do more to get towards your setup i.e coding in VR, but just haven't had the time. That's why I got excited when I saw your post, because now I've got the blueprints :)

If I ever move more into this, I'll blog about it and credit your post. Thanks again!

Looking at the QuickDraw source, it's exactly what he did[1]. Ovals and roundrects, both solid and hollow, are all handled by a single DrawArc function. Essentially an oval _is_ a round rect whose border radiuses are the entirety of the oval's radiuses.

Arcs are also handled by DrawArc, but of course there's a fast path for when start=0 and end=360.

Common Mistakes with React Testing Library
I'm sorry, but most of the users won't even try to see what your site does if you force them create account first. Show a good interactive demo or place a video of the page, or don't force user to provide their email and other information to even let them see what it does.

The opposite is true in my field, which is half-way between CS and humanities. I've read a few hundred PhD dissertations now and most of them are really not great.

Not a few are more jargon than substance, covering up mediocre ideas with a sugar frosting of math symbols and bizarre wordy academic pseudo-abstraction which obfuscates simple ideas instead of clarifying complex thoughts.

A few are straight out pandering and careerism, with style and content apparently designed to appeal to a specific supervisor.

I was considering a PhD and the quality of the work was the biggest factor that decided me against it.

To be fair it's a fairly niche field. But even so - literally only a handful of those dissertations come close to matching your criteria.
We absolutely have, the SAGE subcommittee SPI-B employed what are in my opinion some unethical behavioural psychology tactics. The level of nationalism around the NHS is an absolutely masterful method of propaganda, I don't agree with it in the slightest but I do respect the talent of its architects! Ask your average Briton and they genuinely believe the NHS is the best health system on the planet, they'll also be absolutely adamant that this is their own opinion and that fetishising a government department to this degree isn't nationalism.
>Please point to a platform that has created wealth for itself, at the expense of others wealth (thus not creating new wealth).

>platforms don’t work hard enough for the cut they take”

Surely these are indeed synonymous. There's a bit of linguistic subterfuge in using "wealth" to refer to both cash and services rendered. In order to determine if a company has "created new wealth" we must indeed balance the cut they have taken with the value of services rendered. And yeah, I would argue that most "platforms" do not render value equivalent to the cut they take, and instead are exploiting some sort of monopoly position obtained through network effects. You asked me to to name some, so I would place the mobile app stores and Facebook in this category.

I can't say I agree with this article. Elasticsearch is a bit of a Swiss army knife and definitely needs some setup and configuring. But if you set it up properly, it does logs extremely well.

And it does actually come with useful defaults and well integrated tools. For example, if you use the various Beats agents to push data to Elasticsearch, they come with a default schema and out of the box dashboards that they can create for you. These are actually useful. I don't know that many tools in this space that have out of the box dashboards pre-configured, with matching schemas, etc.

Its also not that hard to create your own schemas and dashboards. Dynamic mapping is a rookie mistake that you might get away with if you don't have a lot of structured data. The classic mistake here would be mapping hundreds/thousands of fields. Not a great idea when you have billions of documents. The per document overhead adds up pretty quickly (disk, memory, indexing speed, querying overhead, etc). Much better is to only map those fields that matter to you and disable dynamic mapping for everything else.

And then there are features like rollups, data streams, index lifecycle management, etc. that make a lot of sense if you are storing logs at large scale. But you have to of course know to use them. As these were x-pack features, you won't be getting that with Opensearch.

Now there are of course many other solutions. But frankly it's a bit of a messy field of half integrated tools and a high DIY degree of how to set this up. Log analytics is only as good as the dashboards you get with them. Usually that means Grafana these days. How the data is stored is only part of the problem.

Grafana is basically an old fork of Kibana (v3) that has had lots of love and attention since then. It's a bit less feature rich perhaps but very capable. Incidentally, they went down the same re-licensing path as Elasticsearch: https://www.infoq.com/news/2021/04/grafana-licence-agpl/. So, you might want to think twice about putting that on a server unless you are completely fine having AGPLv3 licensed code close to where our own code is deployed (hint, if you are uncertain, you probably should not be doing that). LOKI is licensed similarly.

You can definitely gobble together some dashboards pretty easily using e.g. Grafana and any of its backends. But the out of the box experience for that is a lot of work figuring out what to use, how top operate it properly, etc. Elastic Cloud is expensive at scale but kind of plug and play on this front.

Probably the next best thing would be Opensearch. It's a fairly recent fork of Elasticsearch and Kibana. And unlike Elasticsearch/Kibana or Grafana/Loki, it remains under the Apache 2.0 license. Most of what you would need for a decent log analytics system is in there.

What you get by default from Google Cloud, AWS, etc. is pretty bare-bones in comparison in their cloud logging.
Yes, you'd do it in a single routine to not mess up patterns etc., but the math to find the start and end for each scanline is the same as for Bresenham-style ovals.

Slight correction; updates in the base image don't need a rebuild, so everything that you don't specifically add to the Flatpak can be upgraded independently of your application.

Otherwise; yes. It's a new package that depends on a new version of a library, so this is going to take a rebuild. That requires software developers to mind their dependencies and update as required. But that's already the case if you are using a dependency that's not provided as a separate package by your distribution. And seeing the huge library of Python and Perl and Node dependencies that do not get packaged by the distributions, this seems to be a quite common case.

> But you might not even know you need it, whereas someone else has it fixed because it causes, eg. subtle data corruption.

I think if you are developing a software and a library dependency causes subtle data corruption, you should take explicit action and update the library dependencies, instead of relying on the distribution to "silently" ship an patched version of the same release of the library.

> I think dependency management and sandboxing are two separate issues:

They are, agreed.

> I dislike dep management of Snap/Flatpak,

Other than the base images, there is no dependency management for Flatpak. Dependency management happens not at installation but at build time using the dependency management provided by the build system.
Some good points made, but keep in mind from an economic perspective it works because of the requirement of regular booster shots

My opinion, fwiw, is that batteries have won the day in the automobile space. The infrastructure investment required to make hydrogen work for automobiles must be astronomical vs incremental improvements required to the existing electrical network.

Couple this with the fact hydrogen distribution and storage have some significant problems, plus recharging at home/work/parking is super convenient.

The only real thing stopping battery powered electric cars from being the obvious first choice in many markets is the cost of battery packs. Conveniently this has progressively improved yer-on-year. It is simply a matter of time.
Kibana and Loki both load full messages in their list page. You end up loading megabytes (sometimes hundreds of megabytes) of data but it only displays a few kilobytes.

I don't know when we forgot the basic paradigm of list -> click -> details where loading the details is a separate http call. This is what datadog does, and the difference is staggering. Almost enough to make me abandon Kibana/Elastic and pay datadog.

As far as I can tell, lockdowns that were this widespread and restrictive have never been used before in history ever, the closest examples to them were during the medieval era but were still more targetted and limited in scope than these ones, and the narrative about them always having been used is itself a propaganda tool used to stop people questioning them.

Sniff your browser traffic to figure out which url they use to poll for updates and block that on your router or firewall. If that doesn't work, maybe you can redirect it in hosts file, and spoof the response to say there's no new updates.
One thing where I've used Firefox devtools instead of Chrome is when debugging font usage (which is not very often).

Chrome tells you the used font for a single element on a pretty generic level, e.g. "Lato — Local file" or "Lato — Network resource".

Firefox Inspector has a Fonts tab that lets you list all the fonts used on a page. It tells you a more specific font name, e.g. "Lato Regular", the relevant @font-face rule and also the font URL if it's a network resource.
The easiest path is to start reading good poetry, maybe? A bunch of ambiguous lines, if taken on their declarative face value, becomes a nest of hidden associations and different meanings, if taken as a whole with structure, sound and rhymes. Get an anthology with commented poems, then, and start seeing more than the face value of the lines you read.

Didn't Mozilla fire their devtools team ? FF devtools weren't up to Chrome as-is, and doesn't sound like they ever will be. FF seems like a sinking ship, not worth investing time in.

Imagine you enter the train in New York at 8 pm, eat a nice meal, read or play a game, go to sleep and wake up at 8 am in San Francisco. No queuing in airports, no security checks, just the pure pleasure of traveling. Wouldn't it be nice? Well, it's not gonna happen in the USA. It is one of the important differences between the two continents: in Europe, public transport is important, and improving its infrasctructure is one of the metrics of success. In the USA, owning a car is important, and there is no (feasible) way to change it.
FWIW forums like reddit's r/FirefoxCSS usually have solutions as soon as changes roll out on Developer Edition, which is months ahead of the release. It was like that for the ugly new tabs, for instance, which I never had to deal with.

> Has Canada, a territory of extremely low population density, been under strict stay-at-home orders - prohibiting not "to see other people", but just to leave the house

It doesn't seem to be the case - during the Spanish flu pandemic, there was no central health authority and every municipality deal with it however they could, usually by shutting down everything non-essential and mandating masks. However the patchy response resulted in lots of deaths, and thus precipitated the creation of a federal health department.

"Why is this desirable?" is the wrong question to ask, IMO. It is not always desirable, as your analogy shows.But the higher value tasks in many business are often not achievable by a single person, like in individual sports. In those cases, it is very valuable to have a good facilitator, and no, they don't take pay cuts doing so.

American apathy on data privacy has created some real monsters, but those monsters are not comparable to the CCP.

Calling it Sinophobia dismisses it as an irrational fear.

It is largely undisputed that the CCP dragnet tracks, manipulates, and censors the most minutiae of details to actively shape and control the culture of billions of people while also disappearing millions that don't conform to be tortured and killed in concentration camps.

It should be assumed any product operating under CCP rule will at some point be covertly used to further the surveillance dominance of the CCP.

It is possible to have great respect for the Chinese people and their rich history and culture while also having a very healthy fear for giving the CCP more ways to extend their culture control goals beyond their borders.
