There are at least three ways mentioned in this thread to avoid this orange dot.

- The app outputting video can use an OS-level API to capture and fully control the external display.

- The Mac owner can use a playback card to output a clean video stream.

- The Mac owner can use their root control of the machine to disable the dot. (A short script to do so is currently the top comment.)

So really, Apple has not taken away rights here. Clean video output is still possible. They have changed a default, though.
Thanks,
Seems to work great.

Hacky way to have it running all the time :

I put this into a bash file to run the loop in the background at boot.

Just add the .sh in Preferences > Users & Group > Login Items

Then don't forget to chmod +x the bash file so it can be run.

I'd be glad to hear a of a better way to do it.
Isn't it the people that gather around them to listen that block the streets? That's usually my experience.
It's still a positive, at least if the recycling system works similar to in the EU.

Here, food containers have fairly strict limits on what recycled waste can be used to make them. Returned bottles and cans are clean enough to be made into new food packaging, but ordinary household recycling waste is not.
Thanks for the suggestions! Yes, there's definitely room for improvement with the generated code ... I think the padding -> SizedBox conversion at least in some cases (only when main-axis padding is added) can be automated. We can experiment with code improvement features such as that and see how it works.

There doesn't exist any language that make production-ready, cross-platform, native, GUI desktop apps fast and easy. Electron is not native.
I believe Erlang makes this guarantee and exploits it in the GC:

...the terms are immutable and thus there can be no pointers modified on the old heap to point to the young heap

so old objects cannot refer to young objects. This means it doesn't have to deal with write barriers, etc.
But it is about "lying": you don't trust the quality of people's "actual work output" despite what their resume states. You have a "guilty until proven innocent" attitude with respect to people's professional work. You aren't trusting that other companies develop talent or prune people "doing awful work".

Sure, a resume isn't about "job performance" but how much do you distrust the labor market in your own industry that you think people can do awful work for 20 years and still remain meaningfully employed enough to have resume experience across all 20 of those years?

I understand where you are coming from and appreciate it is a common attitude in this industry, I just think it is a wild attitude, and an attitude related directly to the immaturity of our industry that everyone assumes the labor market is inefficient and doesn't reflect "quality"/"performance".

I'm assuming by architecture engineering you mean the process of choosing the model + hyperparameters that perform best.

I think of feature vs architecture engineering as two not-quite perpendicular axes that you can do work on. Feature engineering involves selecting & transforming inputs such that the model has access to the most meaningful/easiest to interpret data. Architecture engineering involves choosing the appropriate model architecture.

Suppose we were building a model to predict a business's sales for the next 12 months based on the prior 12 months.

An important input is the sales for the prior year. A feature engineering task would be choosing to take the sum, median, or average sales per day based on what you know about the distribution.

Architecture engineering would involve trying a few different models & tuning their hyperparameters to be most accurate.

The two areas are related - because you may know that the business's sales on one day are highly dependent on the previous few days. Knowing this, you may instead choose features + an architecture that instead of predicting sales for an entire 12 months period, predicts sales on a day-by-day basis (which can then be summed).
In addition to the sibling complaint about using a real monitor / closed laptop--which I do constantly, making my primary display a third-party panel from Samsung--I guess I disagree that a fix that would require retrofitting a new LED that didn't exist into a piece of hardware could ever be "trivial" in the way my suggested software update could be (but then again, I am not a hardware person, so maybe there is some kind of cheap, magic LED sticker they make these days that Apple could offer people for free at the Apple Store).
It's a great idea! At home I use a rotary Northern Electric 500 and a french S63 with DTMF keypad, both connected on the same VoIP line with an old ATA box (Grandstream HT502) compatible with pulse dialing. Because of differences between the two phones, I must plug them on two separate ports in the ATA. It can be configured to append automatically a phone prefix when dialing 7 numbers.
SWF is more of a painters/immediate-mode model and SVG/PDF/etc. is a retained mode that defines a set of objects. Different use cases for sure. I've written SWF->vector conversion tools, and the formats are quite different.

Don't misunderstand, I'm not saying "people realize that homeoffice is better", I'm just saying people are sensitized to poor environments.
And homeoffice can come with the problem you describe and still be better than the workplace.

I did not express my personal opinion on homeoffice vs. workplace. But your guess is still wrong.

I like to think in terms of checks on the Executive power. It can go from virtually unchecked, or absolute monarchy (think Augustus of Rome, or Peter the Great of Russia), to virtual paralysis (think Poland before it was partitioned by Russia, Prussia and Austria). Checks on the Executive power are both good and bad. It's tricky to find the right balance.
You're right to not buy this entirely. Roman concrete was great because it could harden while in water. And waterworks was probably the primary reason why Rome was such an early superpower (for multiple reasons: hygiene, stronger ports and also mechanical force, as "free" energy give you productivity increases. But it had less tensile strength than our current concrete.

The reason why multiple structures still hold today and will hold longer than most of our structures is more simple than that: they over-engineered the shit of everything that still hold today. Also for the same reasons, multiple bridges, castles, church or structures built between the low medieval era and high med/renaissance will likely last as much as roman structures did.
Take it a step further. No need to be present in a physical world at all, as you can replace all human-to-human interactions and other legacy experiences with their digital equivalents.

Even food can be delivered to the body via a series of tubes.
In person vs. remote has many trade-offs, and different situations entail different costs & benefits. 'Software' is a big industry, with a wide variety of specific situations. I imagine that in general, remote work is likely better for big teams working on relatively 'high-certainty' projects where they have a high degree of domain-relevant expertise. In-person work seems better for more uncertain projects and smaller teams which can benefit from greater communication, and integrated problem-solving.

I'd be interested to learn more about what types of projects you've worked on.

The Median Voter Theorem (1948) – Why politicians move to the center
Italian here, living abroad. If you plan to move, you'll need to learn the language unfortunately. I think the average English knowledge of the population has significantly improved over the last ~10 years, but dealing with bureaucracy (with its own special/weird language) still requires some level of understanding of written Italian.

In terms of quality-of-life I'd recommend Tuscany, but as an expat Milan might be the best choice. Good luck.
You meet professionals not taking professional precautions in every field. It doesn't mean they're in the right, it means they're playing fast and loose and hoping common stuff doesn't bite them and their clients.

> Among the bottom 15% it’s been exclusively wfh preference.

That's what I would expect to be true if the vast majority of people have a strong preference for working from home. The previous anecdote is more surprising, though I guess I would explain it as people who work really hard wanting to be seen working really hard. Or, maybe people who are very good at their job get pulled in to a lot of meetings, and find it easier to do that in person. In any case, I think the tentative consensus is that there's some overall productivity increases from working from home[1].

Did they actually finish building it and get it working and achieve a reasonable cost? Or is it just a big announcement and PR release so far? But yes if they do manage it that is amazing. Otherwise just peacocking.
I suppose I just don’t find that substantially different than the National Trust repurposing say Ickworth into a hotel. I understand that contemporary society places a higher value on a certain type of “accurate” preservation than many societies that came before but if people had truly wanted historical Roman buildings gone, they would be.
There isn't the same sort of office puff pieces in the UK press that the NYT has been running incessantly - mostly they're the sort of article that you read and think "did a commercial rental building write this".

I'd be interested in how those banks are actually handling 2020-2021 here in practice, however anti-WFH they were previously.
Those promises don't seem true in practice. I've tested next 11 vs 12 and got 0 speedup. Maybe because of M1 mac. IDK, would need to dig deeper - anyone had similar case?

Here we go with the whole "100% remote or nothing" thing. There are plenty of reasons why it cannot work:

- Entry Level employees who have never worked remote and need a lot of training/guidance. Their chance of failure goes up significantly if they have to wfh.

- Some people prefer to work from office as their home situation is not conducive for remote work. Lot of young people or even families literally live in shitty/tiny apartments where they hardly have space for desk.

- Some people just prefer to work from dedicated office even though they CAN work from home (I am one of those). Social animals. Whatever you wanna call them. I love interacting with my team, co workers etc.

- Some people actually enjoy a reasonable commute on a train/subway/bike etc. Yes, shocking right ? It allows them to get out of their house, get fresh air and take their minds off their house a little.

I keep saying this and will say it. This is not a binary thing. The best option is Hybrid where it should be a combination and people should have flexibility. Keyword is flexibility. I am however getting tired of this "100% remote is the future blah blah" crowd.
The thing we call “science” is a loose collection of deductive, inductive, and abductive rules of inference, combined with empirical observation. A great deal of ink has been spent trying to determine the exact “laws” of science; Popper and Kuhn can probably help you with the details.
Blender looks to be nice, but it seems that it's more oriented on content creation rather than video editing
I read the OP as the situation when other departments balloon and more resources are not spent on dev. I’ve been there before: I reported to more managers than devs. And the company just tried to sell the same thing in new ways because they were incapable of making things better or building something new.
This problem you describe isn't due to devops. It's due to lack of care or understanding of the dev and deploy environments. If your company is smaller you can be part of the solution. If you company is too large for that, just move on. What you are describing is not universal.
Exactly! I'm working on some stuff now to exploit this very effect, the small time difference in the bands can be used to find velocities of moving objects.

Dumb question: Why not just use AES? Most platforms have hardware acceleration so it should be pretty fast. Then there's no worrying about output quality.

(Is there an application for which AES is not fast enough? Has it been benchmarked for speed against the various PRNG options?)
I feel like a single human could trial and error their way to a very good paper airplane over the course of 2 or 3 days. It seems pretty obvious that a large group of people would trial and error products in much the same way, especially those so essential to their civilization. Especially with the large trade networks that we know to exist back then.
Thanks for those details :)
The satellites are probably greater than 400 km altitude, or so, while the plane is probably 10 km. The plane is in the same rough order of magnitude as really tall mountains, which the satellite is presumably designed to compensate for, so I agree with your general assessment.
Why do you expect the partial protection from omicron to be greater than the damage caused by omicron? While it's looking significantly less dangerous than delta (though even that isn't completely certain), that doesn't mean it's anything like safe.

And even if omicron is drastically less severe than delta, its going to have a hard time being less dangerous or more effective vs delta than vaccination.
It really depends on where these players live. A significant number of them read Reddit and Steam reviews, watch YouTube gaming channels, hate Activision/EA/Blizzard/etc big companies and swear against buying their games... but there's tons of buyers outside of the Internet who don't listen to all that. Lots of people just buy games from companies they know. Moreover, lots of these people are parents/grandparents/aunts/uncles who know nothing except the company name, and know the names of stuff their kids are talking about... and they go buy those games for Christmas. The latter buyers are often disconnected from the real players of those games.

Can't you use the animate method on them at this point?

E.g., even in Firefox I can do myRect.animate([ { x: "0px" }, { x: "100px" }], 1000); and it works correctly.
I am not much for speeding but I try to keep in the appropriate lane. I understand Someone going at speed limit in the left lane if there are just two and the right is full of trucks. I see people doing it on sparsely used 4 lane highways too and I think that is just stupid. Why would you make traffic more dangerous for yourself?
Grabbing into a different programs UI to move some dot off-screen by 99999 pixels does not exactly rise to the level of an API.
> More than 1 in 4 fatal crashes in the United States involve at least one speeding driver, making speeding a factor in nearly 10,000 deaths each year, in addition to an unknowable number of injuries.

We hear this statistic all the time from law enforcement and I smell BS. Is there some quantitative method being used to determine if speed was a factor? More likely, this is some checkbox on a form an officer checks almost by default when filing a report.

The article goes on to later discuss the difficulty in correlating speed limit and deaths. Perhaps this is difficult to determine because the correlation is low or non existent at the speeds most drivers drive (5-10 mph over limit.)
But that's your opinion and works for you. Why would you enforce your opinion on others ? Some people don't have a life outside work. It is a reality. Why shame them in "get a life" if all they want to do is to socialize a bit at work where they spend so much time.
Are the passes not atleast tax subsidized? One of the perks I miss from the office was the commuter pass.

In Tokyo it was provided from the company, you said what your home station was and where your work was, bought the pass at the station, and were reimbursed.

Every single station in between was essentially free to go to and you got the discounted rates to other stations. It was pretty great when I worked in a Roppongi office my last year for going out on the weekends.

In Chicago it's a benefit of being able to pay before taxes so there's a slight discount, not as great but the passes here open up the entire system. When you're commuting it makes no sense to not to have the pass, so all your errands and weekend travel is covered.
And viral videos make a great basis for government policy.
All these points are spot on, but I want to reorder the priority. I cannot believe that a format is introduced in this millennium that doesn't have a single thought to aiding parallel access/decode. The single-thread focus will not age well; even low-end µProcessors are going multicore today, and going forward that will only accellerate.
I wouldn't generalize. Every country is different and also countries and conditions change in time. Although Chile was also cheering back in 1970 and we all know how that turned out.
Actually ...

It's equally hard to do good or bad management, since most of the time you have no idea if you're achieving either outcome - and neither does anyone else.

The problem with all forms of management is that it's completely unscientific. The main resource you're working with is a "human" which has emotions and who will respond to inputs in very different ways depending on all sorts of factors you as a manager don't know about.

And, when you put a group of "humans" together you might expect a direct increase in productivity - 6 humans should be 6x more productive right - you'd be wrong. Also, for whatever reasons the dynamics of the individual humans change in groups! They are differently productive depending on what other humans they work with! And, since there's no scientifically proven way of categorising them - you can't even tell which ones will work well with other ones.

Oh and the big joke, even if you get that working, sometimes they *change* and then some part of the group is broken for some unknown reason.

Then there's the problem of measurement, and I don't mean the team members. As a manager trying to measure the outcome of your own efforts is difficult, bordering on impossible - maybe something you did changed something, on the other hand it might be some other factor you know nothing about.

Finally, you might expect that the individual "humans" might know what makes them individually more productive. But, nope - most humans have no idea what makes them individually more productive, and then throw in a team setting and you're in a whole world of pain. Some of them think they're "analytical" and can't tell that they're dragged around by their emotions, love life, caffeine, commute or sunshine quota. There's a variety of 'received wisdom' stories they tell themselves, but it's often just a random walk.

So actually ALL management is hard, and you often have a equal chance of doing it "well" or "badly" on pretty much a daily basis. It's as hard to do it badly, as it is to do it well since most of time you're not sure if either is happening.
Quickbooks uses double entry accounting at its core but hides it as single entry accounting (like Quicken) by presenting most UI as entries into registers that represent assets (like the checkbox register or invoices) or liabilities (like bills or credit cards) while hiding owner's equity behind a year-end closing dialog.

For example instead of having to learn what accounts to debit and credit when invoicing and then receiving payment from a customer you enter invoices in the invoice UI and receive payments in the receive payments and it takes care of the debits and credits for you.

You can use Quickbooks to directly do double entry accounting by entering company journal entries. You (or your bookkeeper/accountant) will do that for more complex transactions that don't have a dedicated UI like, for example, partially returning a damage deposit to a tenant with the remainder covering repairs needed.

I took a community college course in Accounting when I was thinking about enrolling in an MBA back in the '90s. You can learn the math in a really short amount of time - it is just basic addition/subtraction. It does take a while to get an intuitive feel as to why some things are debit normal and some are credit normal. Doing a bunch of "T" accounts will bake it into your brain. There are some good graphics here about that (first site I found while Googling) - https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/knowledge/ac...
That's a good question! I fell for this problem with text rendering once as the font i've used in a SVG wasn't installed on the target machine.

If i create a image, i want that image to look exactly the same on all machines. This is sadly not the fact for SVG :(

The W3C SVG example files contain a lot of these files that make every SVG renderer explode. There's images that don't render anywhere except inkscape
Unless there is... free food ? That's how I was lured.. However, I also live a very short bike ride away from the office.
The end marker feels awkward:

* It shouldn't be necessary, since having encoded all pixels already implies you're at the end.

* It complicates the encoding/decoding of the indexing operation.
