If you went to the website www.apple.com and there was an orange dot in the corner, how long do you think it would be before Apple changed it?

"Not valid engineering of course."???

Yes, it would obviously be much more "valid engineering" to have each of these devices have their own custom, invariably much buggier and crappier, OS.

You're picking a really odd hill to die on. Is it that hard to imagine that having random imagery (orange dot) showing on your live work (which a client has paid $$$ for) is a complete no-go for professionals (if you ever want to get hired again)?

0 .

It has an interesting MX record. I wonder what this does? Specifically, what should a mail agent do when the MX record points to "." ?
Economists are fully aware of central banks and the role they play in the monetary and the financial system. Still they won't use the term 'centralised' because it doesn't describe the current system well. In fact, it does a terrible job of describing it. For example, consider the fact that 90-95% of the currency in circulation is not issued by the central bank, but created by commercial banks via fractional reserve banking.
This is desktops creeping towards an attitude, familiar on Apple's phones, in which the user is essentially untrusted to make security decisions. Because let's face it nobody seriously audits the security of software going onto Macs. The loser is the user's freedom to enjoy the computer as a true general-purpose tool.
This is a great reminder that when working with test data for stuff like email delivery, always use example.com (or a few other similar TLDs) and not stuff like "test.com" or "acme.com" or "dummyuser.com". I see this all the time by devs and they don't understand the risk and why example.com was put into the standards.
If it worked great, what was so horrible about it?

> It was a common past time for poor people and undoubtedly contributed to the very high recycle rate for aluminum since it was a source of income for many people.

It was not just a past time amongst people of lower economic means. My dad was a computer science professor and when I was a little kid we would go on long walks around our rural town collecting cans and bottles littered along the road and in wooded areas. He seemed kind of into the money we would get back from the supermarket, but I doubt he really cared about it that much. Maybe he was trying to teach me the value of the dollar/work. Maybe he was into the peaceful adventure of it. Or maybe he cared a tiny bit about the environment. It was probably a bit of all of that. Whatever it was, I remember that there were other people who did it too of all social classes that you would see at the supermarket recycling center. I'm not sure why people stopped. Maybe as others have pointed out, municipal recycling trucks have made people less enthusiastic about it.

Such stories are exactly the reason why Stallman created FSF.
Agreed. I'll add that many people have bigger problems in life than to prioritize this.
Why not take the ten minutes to set it up yourself? It's pretty trivial to get everything Naac described working.
Honestly friend?? You know now and you’ve already shared the benefit of your hard experiences. Writing this openly is a wicked gift and I bet this thread had already helped a bunch of entrepreneurs learn.

It sucks for you that it took you so long to learn, but it gives your words a real authority. I’d wish you luck but it sounds like you’ve already got this.

Good run rates. :)
From purely a privacy perspective, that is an interesting comparison. Some art installations that record their observers do have disclaimers that recording is happening, sometimes by law.
>No, this is not true at all. Old applications and toolkits that existed before GNOME 3 was created will use X11, and the legacy decorations will still work there.

OK, good news then for old apps and games , is there a solution ready for new applications like Qt,Electron ones that were not created for GNOME? Can you resize them on Wayland or you are forced on X11 ? If you do not use Wayland is he Window Manager still implementing the SSD or they removed the code (I think I read something about code getting removed but I am might be thinking about something else).

So my question if I were to test GNOME+Wayland will this work correct:

1 old games , games that use DOXbox or emulators

2 new games in Wine or native

3 Qt or other apps like Intellij,Thunderbird, Visual Studio Code, VLC, Slack (does GNOME still has no system tray for Slack/email clients ?)

4 is GTK still recommended for cross platform development? isn't cross platform support and GNOME design in a contradiction? any such example of a cross platform GTK4 complex application

I am sorry if my knowledge is a bit outdated, I am no longer reading Linux news ,podcasts or Linux reddits (I got tired about reading all the small drama stuff, the big news will reach me somehow anyway)

It might be a conscious decision to support a decentralized web. We can't just host everything on the servers of Big Tech and act surprised when an outage takes down a huge chunk of the web.
I've dealt with this myself and with my peers over the years. I see a lot of similar statements and will tag on to npwr's since it is close to what I do.

This is mostly in order:

1. No drugs. Booze and pot need to be sidelined while dealing with this. Minimization or stopping caffeine if possible. Don't quite smoking right now.

2. Exercise. Do what you like that can get you into the zone. Try and do it without external inputs like podcasts etc. Let the exercise take over your brain. 3 days a week is minimum. There is a good chance you will want to do more.

3. Sleep. Full sleep for whatever it is for you. I can't sleep 9 hours but 8 is good. This is a personal variable, but you should feel good when you wake up.

4. Talk to a friend. Hangout or call a friend that is low maintenance. You may or may not talk about what's challenging you. Having someone to go back and forth with is a great to get you back to who you are and will give you some perspective directly or indirectly.

5. See someone professionally that can help. There is a lot of science based approaches out there that aren't too far out or just sitting on a couch spending money. Find a councillor that you can say "I want to stop or reduce my meltdowns" and give them a few sessions to do so. It shouldn't be forever. The sessions should be basic and practical. Understanding how your adrenal gland pumps you up just before you have a meltdown is really helpful. How to get out of your head and back to reality - you aren't under mortal danger like your mind is telling you and your body is now in full flight or fight mode. How to you recognize this before it happens and make sure that when it does you have a process to get through it without melting down. It works pretty well within a few sessions.

I've had a lot of good feedback from my colleagues. 1-3 does it for a lot of people. The fact that we are talking in some ways takes it to 4. 5 is a hard step to take as there is a lot of stigma around it, but if you are melting down at work or with your family it is worth it. Work meltdowns suggest that this has gotten out of control.

I suggest to anyone that has been through this with some success to reach out to anyone that they see having similar issues. This has been a real positive as a manager having my own experience to share.

Do you think none of the advertisers, or billboard owners, would notice or care?

Those are the clients paying the people that read this site to create and run their live visuals.

A 5 foot diameter orange dot on top of their ad is not what they signed off on. There is money at stake.

That's probably the view of Apple execs, but it is not the rhetoric that comes out of the Swift Org itself:

> the best available language for uses ranging from systems programming, to mobile and desktop apps, scaling up to cloud services

> a web-based REPL can when working with Linux server-side code

> it is now free to be ported across a wide range of platforms, devices, and use cases. Our goal is to provide source compatibility for Swift across all platforms ... extend the cross-platform capabilities of Swift ... source compatibility for Swift code across all platforms ...

> Open-source Swift can be used on Linux to build Swift libraries and applications

When someone leaves a damaging review, the seller has the right to ask Amazon to investigate the reviewer. In this case, the reviewer was found to be fraudulent. We haven't seen his reviews and we don't have the seller's perspective, so we can't really judge. I'm generally on the seller's side in situations like these.
There is a ton of case law in pretty much every common law jurisdiction establishing that stuff that is visibly trash-like and abandoned in a public area is fair game.

If the job is redundant because volunteers are doing it than maybe the city should stop paying for it.
I agree with you, but he same is true for physical keys. A car dealership can create a working key to steal/repossess your car in much the same way.

We really need to move to strong crypto.
> What in the world does this have to do with Julia?

Nothing, It is just the claim to fame of the linked person
There is education value here, but otherwise say no to rolling your own crypto kids, especially RSA which was conceived 50 years ago and although it can be implemented securely it is hard to use it securely. It can also be hard to prove that it was implemented securely.
Not going to pass, but solid effort to get the idea out there to give it time to simmer as the electorate and representatives churn over time. Expect progressives to add this as a talking point during future election cycles.
Yes, the dot is there to indicate to people that they might be being recorded. There's no way to distinguish if the line input is just another microphone or not so exempting that wouldn't solve the issue Apple is trying to solve.
I think other vendors will start copying the dot, notch-style, so pretty soon live performances without the dot will seem lame.
No it doesn't. Think for a moment about how absurd it is use the phrase "it begs the question" in this manner. The statement is on it's knees pleading for the question, "who created evolution?" That is what you are effectively claiming. Statements, whether true or false, can not drive cars, travel the world, raise a family, lose their jobs, be divorced, lose their home, and end up on the street with nothing, nor even beg.

Maybe it poses a question, maybe it raises a question, but it certainly does not beg the question. Question begging, dating back to Aristotle (who personally coined the phrase) is an informal fallacy that means assuming the conclusion. I expect you may know it as a circular argument. A simplistic example may be, "this car goes fast because it is a fast car."

The more you misuse language, the more you dilute the meaning of its words. Stop doing that, please. It's bad enough as it is with so many misunderstanding each other. Your cooperation is bagel. See? Now you have me doing it!
Assumably, with complex well thought-out systems that aren't yet fully tested or verified, but -- seemingly -- should be possible.
You allow the user to keep a whitelist of apps they already knew will be using the microphone/line-in/whatever audio source and when those apps use any audio source, don't display the orange dot.
So don't update until it's fixed, I don't see the huge issue. You wouldn't update your pro live visual system on the day of release right?

I've dealt with image decoding for a game engine before. The images in question were large pixel-art texture atlases, stored as PNG files and loaded at startup. Their slow decoding speed caught me by surprise, given that the file format is 25 years old!

The reason turned out to be that Deflate's design makes it very hard to parallelise or SIMD-accelerate. Even the best available decoders are basically forced to process a byte at a time, in a straight line from start to finish, which obviously isn't a good match for modern CPUs. The 3x to 4x decompression speedup here is nice, but I can't help but feel a little sad about how poorly this format is taking advantage of available compute resources. (The ultimate dream would be a format which is so parallel-friendly that you can just send the binary blob to the GPU and decompress it in a compute shader!)

Even a rule like "each row is compressed separately, with a table of row lengths at the beginning of the file" might have been enough - this would have made compression ratios slightly worse, but complexity wouldn't have suffered too much. With only six different chunk types, we could perhaps imagine a branchless decoder where each row's decoding state is stored in its own SIMD lane, and the results for several rows are all emitted at the same time...
Oh, I didn't realize that the benchmark also checked for correctness.
my two cents - bookkeeping (the act of doing all the transactions that result in financial statements) is quite boring, but at the end of the day the purpose of accounting is to provide information around the financial condition and results of the business, which it turn is and should be used to make decisions around the future of the business.

Accounting (in its various forms (financial, cost, mgmt, tax)) should help you answer questions like: what is our most profitable product? how much does it cost to make that product? was that acquisition/investment successful? sales are going up and net income is positive, why don't we have any cash?

But when you get under the hood, there is a lot of subjectivity around how to make accruals, allocate revenue and expenses, or capitalization policies.

Furthermore, many people in different organizations are incented on financial metrics (sales, EBITDA, EPS, equity value, etc) and as such have are keenly focused on gamesmanship around the calculation of those numbers.
The article addresses this:

> And it does seem there could be a fix here; you already have to give applications permission to access your mic and camera, and it seems there should be some way for an app to disable the orange dot once its permissions are elevated with opt-in by the user.

MacOS already has security mechanisms meant to prevent malware from e.g. installing a rootkit into the kernel, or reading keychain passwords - one of those mechanisms could be used to prevent programs from altering whatever setting controls "show orange notification dot" (which, in a sane design, would be opt-out - or, opt-in to "disable orange notification dot) on their own.

I love elementary, although I couldn't make 6.0 work on my Nvidia-based machine (something has changed about the driver installation?).

What annoys me is that AppCenter takes up so much space in their blog posts and sponsoring campaigns, because I feel it's the worst of their apps. The navigation model never made sense to me (why is search disabled when I'm on "Installed"?). It also doesn't look good, because there are way more tiny utility apps than there are good icon designers, and often the icons are just shown on a giant, colored rectangle because apps have no banner images.

I wish they'd do it more "magazine-like" as Apple does, just with more unsplash images instead of Apple's terrible Corporate Memphis illustrations.

AAdhaar is an unique identity systems, India is among those few countries that lacks a citizens registry.

It makes it easy to receive government services and KYC, removes the need to fill in redundant information in every form. India is also a welfare state whether people like to call it one or not, every thing from toilets, electricity, housing and transport is either paid for or subsidised by the government.

A lot of Indians are unaware that such id systems have existed in the developed world for close to a 100 years. Even the country which had been hosting Osama bin laden has a citizens registry, India still does not have one.

Before you get outraged please do some research on the topic, or perhaps the world would be safer if you don't use Julia.

1) Who uses macOS to run a billboard?!?

2) As far as I can tell the orange dot displays in the menu bar? Does it show in the full screen app???
But I don't understand why they're mirroring their desktop to some kind of visual display system? Wouldn't they be using something like a DeckLink for this use-case?

Monitor outputs are for monitors - if you want an application-specific video output you can get that and it won't be a desktop so it won't have this problem.

If you mirror your desktop then yeah... you get whatever desktop UI chrome is on your desktop.
I've been watching Dr. John Campbell videos for awhile now and he does a good job of going over studies and explaining them in laymen terms. Definitely worth keeping up with him.

> Seems unlikely that whatever's driving the billboards in time square needs to have the mic on

There have been many interactive billboards in Times Square. Some of them are at ground level. The article even mentions this use case: "Those applications don’t even need to be obviously using audio; live visuals often use mic or line input to produce sound-reactive animation and the like"

> tiny bit of postproduction is a burden on the people making said videos.

What postproduction are you referring to? The dot is added to the video output by the Mac, not added to the video file. You can't edit it out.
Ask HN: When looking for a job, is stack, product, or the team most important?
> If you don't want to consider them "real left", fine. But the overall point is that these groups are by and large supporters of increased centralization

They generally support a similar level of scale and scope of government as the parties the same distance on the opposite side of the local center, with different goals. There's nothing particularly left, even by your definition of “left” that excludes pretty much everything past the center-left, about it. On scale and scope, but not purpose, of government there’s a fairly broad centrist common position.
Why though? It works for me, the page didn't struggle at all. I've seen all sorts of single hosts on underpowered machines handling the extra load just fine, as long as it didn't require much server-side (static websites). Take the solar-powered server from lowtechmagazine for instance.
yes, but I thought she'd know someone who'd know someone or something like that. I was just slightly amused that I wasn't the first person to ask.

You've never been near a show production, have you? I was involved with an amateur theater that had some projections during one of their plays. Even they were very peculiar about what was projected, where, and how.

One of the projections was a black-and white archive footage. Yes thank you, I'd love an orange dot there, it doesn't ruin it at all.

My problem is that when a driver hits a small child they go to jail. Are there any consequences for Tesla when they get it wrong? A small dent in share prices that day doesn't cut it for me.
But you might also think of these private bus fleets as a reaction to the vetocracies delaying or outright preventing significant public transportation improvements. Large corporations might be more willing to fund public transport if they thought it would work?

For example, many of Google's new campuses are have very good connections to public transport, so it's not like they're inherently against it.
Scumbag reviewers leave damaging and often false reviews out of spite, without having experienced your product or service fully, and often without having experienced it at all. I think this is well understood, as well as the fact that they are often paid for and organized by bad competitors looking to drive honest business out of the market. See examples of Amazon itself copying products to offer in its Basics line.

The US has a worst of both worlds garbage system. In theory there is local control, where "local" often means at the state level and "state" is generally a thing with a GDP larger than the median country.

Then on top of that the federal Department of Education sucks billions of dollars in tax revenue out of everywhere and sends it back with strings attached. This isn't even a majority of the budgets, but it's enough that it hurts to turn the money away, and so you get all the strings.

Whereas actual "local control" would be at the level of an individual school or classroom.
