This looks great. I signed up for a free account to test it out. My only complaint so far is the assumed integration with Firebase, perhaps this is because it's Flutter and they use everything google? Is there a way to integrate other DBs? I see the API feature is only available for premium plans.

That wasn't the status quo. The OS has always been able to display things on top of full-screen apps and apps cannot change that.
No one has to die or quit. You could just hire a new dev who doesn't have to wait for someone to explain the relevant parts of the godzilla object.
Then you should check out the TinyVG text format:

(tvg 1
(32 32 1/1 u8888 reduced)
( (1 0 0) )
(
(fill_polygon (flat 0) (
(16 0) (32 32) (0 32)
))
)
)

This draws you a tiny triangle. The only problem you'll get is when doing text, but for SVG: These wouldn't be portable anyways
Neither management nor shareholders are in trouble, so people in charge don't care, so its not a crisis and nothing will be done.
GIFs are horrible in terms of memory.

Java applets died out of technical reasons (and was replaced by flash)

Flash died, because it was proprietary and Adobe did not open it up. (and flash was vector animation btw.)

Otherwise it surely would still be around. And in a way it is, as you can export flash animations to the html canvas element. And some people do that (with quirks)

In other words, a simple, but powerful vector animation tool, is very much needed. The current state is a mess.

And you probably do not like vector animated advertisement, or websites that use animations for the sake of animations. Sure, no one wants that.

But how about games, or interactive graphic to for example show complex data in context to some map? Or animations for didactic purposes? Cartoons?

A animation well done is actually one, you do not notice. (but you would notice, if it was missing)
Without people shoehorning applications into the Web, the web itself would be dead. Nobody would have a need for an electronic document system that only supported static text and images.

Apple and Google would be celebrating because the world would self-corral into their walled gardens because they alone would control the runtime environments for mobile applications.
Thank you. I was wondering where that was.
Now, can someone calculate the plane's altitude?
I'm very intrigued as to what is going on here - it almost looks as if it veered off the runway. Anyone got any suggestions?
Hmmm, can you clarify what you mean by "malicious grants of permission"? Do you mean when a piece of software (malware, in this case) tells the OS to give it permission to hide the dot, when the user hasn't consented?

If that's the definition you're using - MacOS already guards against that, simply because the orange dot is already being implemented in software in a way that is difficult/impossible for ordinary programs to change (but is controllable by the OS). And, from what I understand, MacOS already has many settings that are OS-controlled - you can't do certain things without authenticating yourself to the OS, and neither can software on your behalf.

If that's not quite right, I'll have to ask you to elaborate on what scenario you're thinking of.
Communicating badly and then acting smug when you're misunderstood is not cleverness.

With the amount of pirated XP in the wild in China, China should be funding the hell out of this to be independent of Microsoft. So should Russia, the EU, Africa, South America, Japan, etc. Well, I keep saying the same thing about linux as well. I think Linux should be getting billions in yearly support, heck this should be getting 100 million

You can look at the two world wars as an elaborate suicide attempt of Europe which resulted in handing over the world to the US.
It's quite depressing really.
How low are these satellites? I wouldn't expect the altitude of a plane to be any significant proportion of the altitude of a satellite.
Rates of flu vaccination in the US are a little over 50%. I've never been vaccinated for it, nor my family.
At least they're showing their true colors.
Flying a plane around the planet sounds a lot more expensive financially and thermodynamically than just beaming down images from an object constantly falling into the views you want to see.
I have local-only RTSP cameras in the house that record when we’re not in the house, set up via nodered and room assistant for presence detection (of us, to know when to stop recording) to BlueIris.

Those feeds are encrypted and uploaded to Backblaze on 15m intervals and cleared every week unless marked.

I wouldn’t feel comfortable having externally accessible cameras on the interior of the house.

I'd rather we didn't mess with that stuff. You can't uncreate a microorganism, we have no realistic way of controlling them (see under MRSA) and our world is made of plastic. I'd rather not have it fall apart because some lab assistant made an oopsie.
Reading that blog post, I was surprised to learn that many modern games dedicate more than half of their filesize to textures. I haven't played an AAA game in more than a decade, but I would have thought that meshes and (particularly) audio would use up more space.

It sounds like developers are stuck between a rock and a hard place. They need one of the specific compressed pixel formats which can be efficiently read by the GPU, but those formats are about ten times larger than a similar JPEG file, they don't losslessly compress well (modulo RAD Game Tools' discoveries here), and recompressing raw pixels to a GPU-addressable format at load time would be orders-of-magnitude too slow.

RAD Game Tools' approach here is clever, but it feels like a bit of a hack. The obvious next step would be a lossy compressed image format which can decompress directly to BC7, exploiting spatial-correlation tricks similar to those which PNG uses to get better results than a gzipped BMP file. Has anybody tried this already?
It's also important to consider that many people don't have homes that are conducive to working, because there are many other people in the house, or because they don't have the space for a dedicated office, or any other number of reasons. This isn't applicable to everybody obviously, but offices should be able to compete on these fronts.
whoopsies. CI failure on my side, will be fixed in roughly 20 minutes
And thus kind of rhetoric is exactly why some people believe we are closer to a civil war.
That’s a bit revisionist history. Flash was pretty popular and animations haven’t gone away.
This button clicking issue certainly exists in Android Chrome. It's just that almost every designed-for-mobile website is missing functionality or behaves in unpredictable and terrible ways. Browsing not-designed-for-mobile web sites on mobile and zooming whenever I need to click on something is a big upgrade.
I understood that. You are not understanding the problem or pretending to. Imagine a powerpoint presentation during a video conference. I don't want the presentation overlaid by a yellow dot. There was no such thing like that so far. At minimum, there need to be controls to prevent that.

When companies pay "market rates" for their developers, there should be no surprise that there's high turnover. They'll easily get a better deal going somewhere else simply due to the variance in those market rates.

Here's one easy solution: pay the people at your company more so they don't want to leave for an offer that will certainly be less good than what they have with you.

Good software engineers are hard to find. You should be paying them their weight in gold.
You seem to have misinterpreted my tone and are being very antagonistic in return.

You _can_ do those things just fine, just like most companies are running horrible non-compliant cookie banners without consulting with legal.

If you think of the flow battery as a fast cache and the Lithium Ion as a slower one then that might help you form a better picture.
Not always possible, of course. It's also understandable that you can't just jump through 4 years of updates in one go without some sort of work to catch up to current configs involved. I had to change 2 lines of config from 16.04 to 18.04 (due to my own tweaks to defaults), so it's been pretty pain free so far. And the few days as a precaution are on me, not Ubuntu. I should have updated years ago.
I looked it up. There are some satellite images, but a lot of it is done by aircraft.
The reason they were bought by a larger publisher is either because the owners got their exit, or, more frequently, because when you live publisher-paycheck-to-publisher-paycheck, all it takes is one flop to sink your development studio. Your publisher then buys your carcass, and its IP and team for a song.

I don't think you can blame the management, as much as you can blame the funding model. (And the funding model is such because banks aren't interested in lending money for speculative creative projects, and neither are VCs.)

> You'd think if average "big game publisher-developer" management were beneficial to developers, you wouldn't get subsequent failure so reliably.

I wouldn't say it's beneficial, but it's the only way that most of them can get the money to fund their projects.
I just tried elementaryOS and the selection of apps is terrible. There is almost nothing there that you actually need and of the apps that were there I found either unusable or so lacking in functionality compared to other apps it wasn't worth trying to compromise.

> Also I noticed that Elementary is taking a 30% cut (with a 50c minimum) which I find obnoxiously high

It does seem really high considering they are just taking from one Stripe account to another.
I think they covered this question pretty well here:

> Invinity’s vanadium flow batteries are used to ‘front-end’ the energy asset, acting as a first line of response when the system is called into service; only after the required response exceeds the capacity of the Invinity battery does the lithium-ion battery get called into service. Since Invinity’s flow battery does not degrade with use and can cycle indefinitely, it performs much of the ‘heavy-lifting’ required from the system while reducing wear on the lithium-ion battery.

What I think this means, is the the 5Mhw of flow batter covers demand spikes and the 50Mhw allows for larger longer draws during off peak renewable times.

I am just an enthusiastic auteur in this field and could be very wrong.
Insurance. There are insurance companies that will have you download an app from which they monitor your driving and adjust your premiums accordingly.
That's a lot bigger area than I thought! Great point. Out of curiosity, I looked it up and the USA is actually 2.3 times bigger than the EU in terms of land area. The land area of Europe is much larger than the land area of the USA, so if EU service plans cover more land area than just the EU they could still have more coverage...

What always impressed me about Doom was the dynamic shading/lighting effects they managed in a 256-color mode.

The "3D" part wasn't any more impressive than Wolfenstein3D was, which was running on significantly slower PCs.

I dabbled in PC demo programming at the time, the limited color palette was a major challenge for me in attempting shaded texture mapping. Once we had ubiquitous "TrueColor"/"DirectColor" RGB modes, the shading challenges became trivial.

Doom made clever use of a finite colorspace. When I tried recreating some of that myself it became rather obvious why Doom's palette was so muted and basically dark gray/brown/green gradients they could then illuminate. But it worked very well for Doom.

Ah very interesting! I saw the skid marks on the runway north of the plane and was wondering if it was an emergency landing situation considering that it was just on the side of the runway. Pretty cool to read the article and get the other half of the story.

How is giving people $100 to give to a politician - who will have their own solutions - and say $50 to a journalist - who will have their own interests targeted based on the decision of the individual a blanket solution? Your argument makes zero sense. Giving those vouchers to everything helps even the playing field, it in by no way "reeks of this coastal elite mentality that believes that people on the periphery want to live like those in big economic centers."

Having a central government isn't inherently top down. You need an organization to do things like collect taxes. Are you trying to suggest that, for example, a central government collecting and redistributing tax funds say in the form of UBI is somehow top-down? In fact giving UBI is more consersative, less liberal, and more hands-off, as it isn't the government deciding what "you" do with that money.

I think you're missing some key understandings which is skewing your view, and you're certainly projecting hate based on your comments - "elite mentality", ". We got Donald Trump as a consequence to regulatory capture, MSM being captured, etc; for example, 10 mins. video of Noam Chomsky explaining how the Republican party was captured by corporations/bad actors - https://boingboing.net/2019/04/20/useful-idiots-r-us.html

Your argument too about "my utopia" I'm painting got "Donald Trump, Orban, [etc]" makes no sense either - I stated a new, evolved framework is needed, using what we've now experienced based off the Constitution, to avoid and counter the pitfalls that lead to a longer list than you presented. Maybe my responses could be more useful if you spoke specifically to why you dislike different policies of Yang, and how you understand them to work or not work? E.g. Don't you think washing out $4 billion of lobbyist money with $32 billion of eligible voter money would shift politics to getting more citizen-wants oriented politicians elected into power? If you say no, then why?

You've made/applied a lot of assumptions/inferences as to what to my comments suggest, your understanding seems completely off the mark.
Also a positive in that it reduces highway traffic.
Very impressive.

Neat, but my understanding was that even pure functional languages can't generally make this guarantee, because things like letrec complicate matters. If SectorLISP can take this approach, why doesn't Haskell? (Or does it?)

The reasons we prioritized Firebase is because it works really well with Flutter and was also what most of our early users preferred. FlutterFlow itself is in fact a Flutter+Firebase app. We take the best ways we know how to build Flutter+Firebase apps and make it easy to do, in a browser.

We definitely want to support more DBs in the future, just a matter of time. Meanwhile, we see some users achieve that goal using API integrations and code export

I know it's not being discussed, I am introducing it as an adjucent attack vector that is already an issue with Google Maps' location sharing. Google counters it by sending periodic emails to remind you that you're sharing your location, and with whom.

Being snooped on by someone with physical access to your device, as well as the opportunity to use it while unlocked (passcode or not) happens more times than one might think! It could be anything from a creepy colleague, or an insecure romantic partner.
So, the solution is to live with employer-controlled and -connected healthcare and watch them as they cut the coverage and hike the costs year after year. This might be fine when your a SWE in your 20's and not on any meds but for those on BP or diabetic medications, this isn't much of a solution.

Government didn't create this problem because it didn't mandate that employee healthcare be a benefit from employers. That was simply "laissez-faire capitalism", i.e., the belief that the market is all-knowing and will eventually guide us to an efficient and effective equilibrium. Except that really only happens in perfect markets and they don't exist outside of textbooks.

Union. If you can set wages and benefits you can also set business direction and other working conditions that effect company health. The history of business regulation is strewn with arbitrary policies examples set by "the guy in charge."
This is a very interesting development. 55MWh is a drop in the bucket at grid scale but it definitely is a step forward if the installation performs as designed over a longer period of time without reliability issues.

For comparison purposes, also in the UK, Cruachan Dam has 7+ GWh worth of (pumped) storage, but this one even in its present state should be able to spin up even faster (though Cruachan Dam is very impressive in that respect).

I did not see any topics at the posted link devoted to tax accounting. Most small businesses (U.S., at least) have a lot of flexibility in how they keep their company books, but the core process of preparing the tax return involves making appropriate book-to-tax adjustments according to tax law. So the company will have at least two versions of the key reports, one for book purposes and one for tax purposes.
The point is it's not fake work. In fact these types of problems just become harder the further up you go. When you're upper management, now you have the problem of wondering if managers are doing their job correctly/efficiently, something even harder to manage and plan for. Imagine handing someone several million dollars in labor budget and just having to trust them that they're building the right things...I would be asking questions too. Coordination problems are tough.
On point 1 - it's more accurate to say that your bank is a distributed network. You and the people you transact with depend on the network, instead of depending on a bank. But the dependency is still there and you certainly aren't your own bank.

No you don't. You have a speculative asset no longer bounded by the designed limit of BTCs, where banks, i mean exchanges, can create volume out of thin air outside of the ledger, as long as something is later cleared on-chain. Ergo, back to square one.

My experiences in offices have generally involved being surrounded by many people who talk rather consistently.

It is really saying a lot when asked about workers complaining the top management starts shoveling numbers instead of facing the issues. This is how far removed management is from reality; it's all numbers and analytics to them, acting like robots.
> I see customers as friends and that helped me a lot. I give them way more value that what I extract to support my business, and that is the secret. People are not stupid, in the same way children "sense" who really loves them fast, customers could sense very fast the value you give them.
You also develop over time a good intuition on the value you are creating...

I see it this way as well. I serve a small niche, and some specific problems therein. I really want the people with these issues to have my solution. It sounds lame but that is more of a motivation to me than the money. Broken thing turns into fixed thing that resumes generating value for the customer. That endpoint is my goal.

I won't devalue my efforts by underpricing, people should pay a fair price. But the money is not the primary driver. If either profit or passion were not there I would probably just do something else.

My equation seems to be that if I get at least a few customers, enough to cover my out-of-pocket costs, then I'll take a risk on my time getting eventually paid for.
> Who pays healthcare, who pays maternity leave and social security in a fast and loose labor market like that?

Are you from Scandinavia? Because the state pays these things (except maternity leave) in Denmark, whether you're in a job or not, so no there really isn't a risk to the state. The only thing the business is paying for is your salary, pension (if they offer it) and other "bonuses" (if they offer them).
