Sorry, I could have been more clear there, and I've updated the post. I have the "curse of knowledge" and took is as assumed that you can only do this if your particular build configuration fits in setup.cfg. For me, the fact that you have the option to use a setup.py is one of the biggest selling points of setuptools. For other build backends, it's common to have a great experience when you are on the "happy path" and then have no options when you have any of a million exceedingly rare deviations. So if I had a complicated build like you have (and I do have some mildly complicated builds where this is the case), I'd look at that bullet point and think, "Ah, that doesn't apply to this, but it's good to know for my simpler projects".

That said, it would be really nice if at least the C-extension part of this worked with the declarative format. My OSS time has been severely curtailed lately and I'm spread way too thin, so I probably won't be able to execute on this, but my long term vision for setuptools has always been that most common build configurations should be achievable using declarative config only, and everything else has setup.py as an escape hatch. This is similar to the way almost all Rust projects are configured with Cargo.toml, but in rare cases you can use build.rs to execute some Rust code as part of the build.
To add - when this process fails, tech companies rotate employees out to a remote office (often in Canada). The US loses tax money which the employee would have paid and the position remains filled.
Having school age kids, and social connections in general, make a nomadic life challenging.
In china you can get prescription lenses at a local market without any involvement of a medical professional, at extremely cheap cost. There isn't much evidence that this is causing negative medical outcomes.

On the flip side it used to be very easy to get antibiotics without a prescription there. I'd be surprised if this is still the case.
Sadly I think you will have to accept some of those apps will just never have Windows-style DPI scaling, sorry. It's the same thing with various older apps on Windows that will just not get updated because they use Win32 API functions that are hardcoded to use integers. Maybe you could come up with some clever solution that tricks them into rendering at a different size? I'm really not sure, if you are an expert in this then please help.
I wonder what DST does to data collection such as weather and stuff. just imagine one team collecting data with DST and another without DST and then merging the data.
Why was it possible to break the world to remove these things when switching from Gtk2 to Gtk3, but now it’s not possible to re-add them? Why was it possible to remove it when switching from X11 to wayland, but now it’s not possible to re-add it?

I’ve complained about this since before Gtk3 and Wayland were stable, constantly warning against making these decisions, and now that the bad decisions have been made, doing another protocol break to fix them is apparently out of the question?
That dongle is $69, but you can try buying the off-brand, where you’re not sure whether it works, not sure it’s doesn’t upload your data to China, and not sure it doesn’t have malware. If you’re hit, good luck explaining your choice of brand to your insurance. So basically, it’s $69.

I like the magsafe and the card reader could be useful. But I think Apple should have stuck with the usb-c. Someone should push the standard. USB-C could handle anything (mouse, keyboard, printer, screen, camera, network, etc...). There was a time when the printer, mouse, keyboard and network all had different cables: It was a mess. I also can't interchange these cables. USB-C changes that and it is also smaller and fancier than the USB-A type.

Just the other day, I had to buy an HDMI cable for my screen. That could be a USB-C. But screen makers and graphic card makers are not going to change overnight. No one is strong enough to push the standard too. If anyone can do it, it's Apple. This is, in my opinion, a step backward.
Oh cool, never knew about that one. I do have one more to add but it's mostly technics warmed over, which is 'Znap', clearly aimed at the same market as 'Knex', which Lego at some point saw as a competitor. Since then they've come their senses, the Znap line was ugly and highly impopular, leading to being discontinued after only a year.
I don't have an Oculus Quest 2 but have heard good things about it. But I can't get one because my Facebook account was shut down without explanation in 2019. Despite its age (15 years) I barely used it, let alone for anything "controversial", but did regularly log into it. I repeatedly tried to verify my identity by submitting an image of my driver's license, without any response.

If a Facebook employee is reading this ... I don't want to create a fake new Facebook account (which would be against the TOS, anyway). I want my own back.

All big companies are adopting this kind of behaviour: show we're inclusive by having as few white heterosexual men as possible.

Wouldn't it just be easier to ignore those warnings? Are you similarly affected by the PG/PG-13/R ratings on tv shows and movies?

I'm not trying to attack you, but there is a major /r/selfawarewolves in the mindset where people get offended by what other people are offended by. We could all do a bit better about just ignoring things that aren't relevant to us.
Flying in a solar panel along with a system that can connect itself to the drone autonomously sounds very expensive (does such a system exist?). Or is the idea to put a solar panel on the drone, and then have it land and charge for a while?

Something like a big raccoon trap is probably a good idea - perhaps they’re running up against weight limits. Those traps are pretty heavy.
100% this. I think it's a good lesson that sometimes there are multiple decisions/outcomes which are good enough, and there is no one perfect choice. Some people will be happy if you go one way and others prefer the other way. But waffling back and forth between them instead of sticking to one coherent strategy can be worse than committing to either of the options.
That's why they require that you reach a certain threshold number of matches before its sent for human review. The threshold allows them to take the probability of a false collision, which they can estimate from data, and set the probability of an overall false-flag by requiring a certain number of these collisions. They've released that the threshold, to start, would have been 30 (Page 10 of https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/Security_Threat_Model...). They claim that, given the probability of a false collision, and the threshold that they've set, the probability of your photos being sent for human review falsely is 1/trillion.

This. FAANGS have the money and the high end needs to use H1-B correctly. If they aren't doing it right, they have no excuse. More visas should be directed toward companies that are doing the right thing.
I call this entropy. Once the products are dispersed it takes a lot of energy to bring them back together like they were in the supply chain. I'm not sure it will ever be solved purely because of the physics.
Windows actually modified the old-school Win32 APIs to support DPI scaling recently, so even most WinForms apps get proper DPI scaling.

It’s absolutely possible. And as mentioned, switching from dpi as int to scale-factor as int was reason enough to break all software, going back should be just as justified.
I think this is a big factor. If I'm pointed towards my destination, then I always know I'm making progress, and it's easy to stay oriented. In a less "direct" (but shorter) route, it may not be obvious if you make an incorrect turn.

I think another factor is just habit. The first few times you take a walk, you'll likely take the "easiest" route, even if it's not optimal by other measures. On subsequent trips, you'll likely just use the route you already know, instead of experimenting with different paths.
This happened to my wife just last month. I was very frustrated when I saw that she hadn't received a PD, but I didn't realize that this is a frequent and intentional decision at this point. Extremely frustrating.
And more than any other online forum would do, it's in fact an exercise in transparency, and super labor intensive to boot.
I get (and respect) that you disagree with my argument. However only point 3 is inference/opinion that we can argue on,

1. and 2. are just facts from their annual report, maybe there is scope to argue that they are not relevant here or doesn't show the full picture etc, or are you are saying the facts are wrong ?

> GTK2 could actually render at 144dpi, or 108dpi, just fine.

Your definition for just fine must differ from everyone's else. Most GTK2 shipped assets for 96 dpi and that's it. Just try running GIMP on 192 dpi display, with "properly set dpi", for example. You will see yourself that is was not just fine.

> WHY was this downgrade made?

Because it didn't work. That's why.

> If a protocol break could be made to remove this functionality

It wasn't protocol break. It was apps either ignoring the facilities (in better case) or being outright broken -> desktop locking on constant values, where everyone was able to test their wares.

> protocol break to add it back should be just as justified.

Not going to happen.

> Break everything, apparently removing functionality was a good enough reason to do it, re-adding it should be just as well.

You can start. Show 'em.
I actually don’t think this is why they did it. I only know white males who use Android. Period. They already got that market. Therefore there is no point for them to advertise to white males. You always advertise to demographic you want.
How are people supposed to make money when we have machines producing all these goods!

Maybe your post was sarcasm though :)

That's the economic progress of humanity. We automate, and jobs that were once valued are no longer needed.

Easy to look at a specific instance and fight against the change, but in the long run it's better for everybody.

Glasses/Vision in particular costs hundreds more than it needs to. Glasses could be produced and sold at $10-20 bucks if regulations were eased. What is the material cost to produce these? You can get reading glasses in grocery stores for a few dollars.

I'm fairly well off and even I feel bad paying over a hundred dollars for some of this stuff. Imagine all the lower earners/poor that pay hundreds of dollars for glasses for no reason other than protectionism.

The entire eye exam can be automated very easily (and I believe already has). Would be easy to have machine learning algorithms that can diagnose problems from the image of your retina scan. I really don't think it'd be that difficult, if it doesn't exist already.
The commenter implied that they plan to use a non stock ROM, presumably to get their data and device away from Google cloud services.
I have and like the 5A. Great phone of you want a headphone jack.
Great text on why it's so difficult to put into code human activities. Do you want a library to deal with complex math equations? No problem, you can define clear unit test that will stand the trial of time. Do you want to code time zones or addresses? Thought luck.

Kubernetes does simplify and abstract - just like C++ simplifies and abstracts compared to writing assembly. :) In both cases, the scope of what you can do expands significantly, which means that the systems you build with the higher-level tool are significantly more complex, which means that you see much more confusing C++ programs and Kubernetes deployments than assembly programs and five-lovingly-handcrafted-servers deployments.... but that's because you can successfully start with a more complex idea and make it happen.
Graphene has a specific sandbox for google play services, so you can continue to run the google pixel camera app (which can presumably run the same way as under the official OS)

But also, it has a good hardware ISP that will also improve image quality by itself.
I would buy that in a femptosecond.
If you know the technical details of how that was done in Windows then please help get that implemented. AFAIK those win32 APIs were not changed to take floating point, so there is some other kind of heuristic or something going on there, and I expect it won't work in all cases e.g. if the application itself renders its own backing surfaces and never takes scale into account.

>You need to prove that there are no US citizens able to fill the role before you sponsor a H1 visa.

Pretty sure that's wrong; the requirement for an H1 is a LCA (Labor Condition Application) which is primarily a prevailing-wages thing along with some other labor condition items (e.g. there's not a strike ongoing at the location where you're trying to hire).

Only companies flagged as H1 dependent or 'willful violators' need to certify that they've attempted to hire locally.
I'm confused how the client/local proxy finds the rest of the distributed hash table to do its lookup in. Are there some fixed conventional internet addresses it can start from or something?

There isn't any verification. They certainly don't call the optometrist to verify. Not saying I've done this, but one could submit an old Rx and change the date in Photoshop as well as the name and number of the doctor and buy contact lenses or glasses online just about anywhere. Theoretically, of course.
But the M1 is not made from scratch.

As you say, they've been iterating on this design since 2012.
Just create a damn account. I don't think their TOS would cover people locked out of their account by facebook's fault.

Bad contract, I'd wager. He clearly assigned the copyright in the early 80s in order to get published either due to bad advice or not proper legal counsel.
I have mixed feelings on this. I actually think this is a reasonable response to overly rigid systems but also creates fertile ground for unethical behavior. Ideally, I think we need systems with rigid guardrails, but that the distance between them is proportional to the amount of risk incurred by what you call the practice of "art".

Bending the rules is great in some areas, but I don't think it should apply across the board. Ignoring rules is fine in low-risk scenarios (particularly when the risk is not borne by someone else) but I don't want, for example, my commercial airline pilot to get too artsy when it comes to his approach for landing, or the programmer writing critical code for the autonomous vehicle to unilaterally decide they know better, or the electrician I hire to flagrantly disregard consensus standards.

From previous work in safety critical code, I regularly confronted situations where rule-breaking was done as a means to an end, while not being cognizant confronting the risks that incurred because of cognitive biases. People also loved gray areas in this role because it limits accountability. I'm sure there were people who at Enron thought they were playing the gray areas as an artistic endeavor to maximize profit, but I don't think incentivizing that behavior is the best for society.
Sounds like they want to run a degoogled ROM on their device, which is paradoxically much easier with the Google Pixel line than other devices out there.
IMO, it's an attempt for people to not feel like they're being left out. It happens any time a group of people self-select and self-promote. Other people who aren't in that group change the group and claim they were ostracized and they're essential.

Eventually, it includes literally everyone and means nothing at all.
> I got a single cable dock that handles all my peripherals.

That you have to drag with you if you want those ports away from your desk. Plug into a TV or projector and you need a dongle. No thanks. Ports are fine by me and I don't care if that adds 0.5mm or some stupid aesthetics nonsense.
It's interesting how our minds just give up when we realize all cloud providers are doing it. We accept our fate as weak consumers, unable to do anything.

Capitalism (as a life goal, rather than one of many tools in a toolkit) is what makes all that possible. If can insert yourself in the middle of a transaction, and do that long enough, then you can get pretty entrenched to the point where people just expect it to be that way.

I maintain that, if automobiles were invented today, the horse-and-buggy industry would be able to successfully fend them off, based on the path regulatory capture has taken in the last 150 years.
You got there by the conclusion.

Imagine that half of the US was Disney World, wherein everything is dictated by Disney because they managed to get there under capitalism.

Capitalism is a great tool and all, but as all other tools, it doesn't solve every problem. In this scenario, it has stopped working inside Disney Nation/World.
Yeah, the explanation is literally right above the pictures: "Portraits on Pixel represent the nuances of different skin tones for all people beautifully and authentically."
My local optometrist uses a $99 Enshey (check amazon) IPD measurement device. I guess if I was ordering glasses for my entire family (we do), it would probably be worth it.

I couldn't agree more. Highly configurable frameworks are essentially just home grown programming languages, in which your code just happens to live in a configuration file.
No, the point was the conflict of interest, and to belittle a source which takes the researcher's claims at face value.
What about on-device scanning just before syncing it up to the server?
As someone who used 132x65 pagers back then, my Blackberry RIM 850 can display more information in the screen than my Samsung Note 8. I loathe this "maximum white space!!" UIs as well. My boss prefers the grandparent-mode UIs whereas I prefer compact with every space is being used as possible. I like to have high-density texts like the old day of Reddit to minimum screen-scrolling.
An H1 transfer is when an active H1-B visa is transferred from one company to the other.

If both incoming and outgoing positions are in the same geography and have the same responsibilities (e.g. a software engineer moving between Bay Area companies), the positions are considered equivalent.

> prevailing wage determination

You need to do this for H1 positions as well. You also need to file an LCA to prove the occupation is a "specialty" occupation. The process is in general quite similar.
You would think that someone would have a smartphone app for this.

I think Benjamin Button needs to review: web browsers and JS stack, graphic and brand design, product design, domestic manufacturing industry, social media, subscription model of product pricing, political party extremism, car UX/UI, smart appliances and IoT gadgets.
> Most platforms choose the former, and even if a platform chooses option 2 it takes time, money etc etc. Now, even tough DOGE was widely traded in the entire US it was not allowed in NY at the beginning of last year. So what happened now, did it become a 'better' coin? No! Will SHIB be a 'better' coin magically once it's 'registered'? Of course not. Point is, however much you hate crypto there is no point to this restrictive law.

This misses the point: the financial legwork doesn't make any of these altcoins "better," it just makes their use more transparent to regulators. That transparency is in the public's interest. It's not the AG's job to make cryptocurrency better; it's her job to ensure that the laws of the State of New York are obeyed.
You don't understand.

When GTK3 came, it didn't break GTK2 and GTK2 apps. They could work side-by-side, as they were before.

What you suggest is either kicking out the world from beneath them, or having all of them updated, at the same time.

That's not going to happen.

I don’t know how everyone else feels, but I would happily have my “‘normal” hours be completely changed if the whole world could just define a single, global time. I’m sure it would be a massive undertaking, but it would make my life so much easier to be able to talk to my globally spread out teammates and never wonder about what time zone they’re referring to, or worry about time conversion when traveling.
Immigrants are brought into the US to fill existing positions under poorer conditions than US workers, and to generally boost aggregate GDP (mostly to the benefit of capital/land owners).

Canada and Australia have extremely generous immigration systems, but are backwaters for software development compared to the USA, and IT salaries are worse.

Additionally, there is no diversity or equality in the US H1B intake: Indians make up 75% of the intake, and 78% of them are male:

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/data/h-1b...

The H1B visa could be hugely improved if the intake was limited to 10% max from any one country and max 49% male from any one country. The US Diversity Lottery has per-country intake limits already.
> You can start. Show 'em.

I have.

I’ve made a custom build from source of my entire desktop environment, changing the scale factor back to a dpi value, and modifying Qt and Gtk2 apps to use that.

And it works.

You just need to break the wayland protocol and rebuild everything from source, but for over 2 years, I ran that as daily driver setup because I was so pissed off by this decision.
