> Presumably the primary rationale for a no-WebRTC policy is to avoid WebRTC leaks?

I doubt corporate IT departments even care about "WebRTC leaks" (ie. your LAN IP getting leaked). Knowing that your computer is at 192.168.1.123 doesn't help attackers much. What's far more likely is that their networks only allow TCP connections, because that's all their firewalls/middleboxes/proxies support.
The kernel drivers should already be open source. Just not upstreamed because rockchip doesn't develop upstream first, they only do it later and partially.

Nobody has attempted to reverse engineer the boot blobs. Hard to do.

My question is: why rockchip? Why not focus on amlogic or mediatek? What does rockchip offer the open source community that other vendors don't?
I switched my server and forgot a device. It worked without the server and I only noticed it because I missed some new passwords.

I took up film photography after catching up with a friend that was in to it. They shared some photos from when we met up and there was such a sense of nostalgia to them. I did some research and found a camera that fit what I wanted (I ended up with an Olympus OM-2n), and once I got one from ebay I just started going and walking around my neighbourhood while trying to look with a more critical eye than I usually would. When my first roll came back I was hooked.

I tried digital photography quite a while back but it never stuck - I think the limitations of film (limited shots, fixed ISO for the whole roll, no way to review until you develop it) make it so much more compelling for me - I've stuck with it for longer than most other hobbies I've tried. I end up shooting around 5-10 rolls a month, which admittedly gets pricey. I desperately needed a hobby outside of tech and this has been such a nice way to get away from a screen and appreciate my environment.
On iOS, these alerts mimic SAME tones[0]. It sounds like a brighter version of the combined attention tone with a bit of modulation.

You might not like it, but that's exactly the sort of "just make it work at all costs" feature that made Zoom popular in the first place.

They're basically trying to minimise the "can everybody see this?" nonsense that video conferencing is famous for. I think it's a perfectly reasonable trade-off.

There should probably be a way to opt out though.
Yes, a few:

In late 2017 and early 2018, I started to learn sleight-of-hand card magic and am now able to perform a number of illusions and flourishes. I'm not particularly great at it, but its enough to entertain most people a little.

Last summer, I started to learn guitar. Again, I'm not great at it, but I can play a few things and can pick up new riffs quickly enough (as long as they're not too hard to begin with) and, most importantly, I can play for fun and relaxation.

Two months ago, I started going to the gym almost daily.

In all cases, I set myself about an hour each day to do it. I kept a little calendar where I'd tick off each day as I practice. This was done to make it part of my day to day routine and to get over the initial "hump" where learning is slow. After one to two months, I wouldn't bother with a calendar and just do it as I feel like it (its hobbies after all), but I did make sure it was always easy to do: I always have a deck of cards within arms reach, I have the guitar on a stand beside my desk, I go to a gym that's 5 minutes walk away. Convenience is key, for me.

For guitar and cards, I also signed up to online courses (video lessons). Both have plenty of youtube tutorials, but I find that to start off, something much more structured is better for me and they're designed for beginners in mind (so will start with the fundamentals). Nowadays, I just go by youtube tutorials when I feel like trying to add to what I know.

For me, I chose those things because they are completely unrelated to my work (programming), interesting to me and in the case of gym, would benefit my health.
I dunno. After reading HN's more recent take on the remarkable 2 and its move towards a subscription model[0] I can see a use case.

Also, comparing stats[1] they are different devices[2]. The PineNote has a more powerful CPU, 128G of storage vs the Remarkable 2's 8G, and a bigger battery.

So you get more hardware and freedom for the $. I think also that price point, coupled with the warnings, forces people to think hard before they make the jump to try it out.
Go can't be used for many "systems programming" problem domains because it's garbage collected. That objection is always looming when people try to call Go a "systems programming language", so I think a lot of people now classify Go as an applications programming language instead.
I'd hesitate to call Photoshop or GIMP intuitive.

What was intuitive was Paint Shop Pro at around v3 and v4. I compliment Krita for being almost as intuitive as PSP.
Fair enough, but from a practical point of view treating the data as owned by the supplier of the data (when it is about them) gets you 95% of the way, the remainder can be explained by the concept of 'control of the data'.
So interesting how different people's expierences are. Every time I've used Meet it feels like my system is trying to mine crypto and I find some thing I can do in Zoom that works 25% worse. At least we can all agree that we're glad it's not WebEx
I'm not sure your reply makes sense, seems like a non-sequiter. Individual companies might require thousands of servers and not want then running all the time. This means they either maintain thousands of servers on premises, or they use aws and auto scale. This has nothing to do with aws having other customers, and everything to do with only wanting to pay for and maintain as little as possible while being able to serve your applications.
Valid point, but if a good system deters beginners by being too complex and hard to use - adoption will suffer. We want good systems to have high adoption.
Your comment seems unrelated to the comment you're responding to. That comment is about automatic rejection, not selection.

But speaking of selection, there is no perfect process in any system involving humans, so whether it's a flawed facial recognition algorithm, or a biased, tired, overworked human doing it, having a manual review step and post-hoc analysis is pretty useful.

That's the point though. It doesn't serve as an abstract means of exchange of goods and service.

Money is exchanged and retained in its own right. There isn't a one-to-one relationship between money and stuff. It's more of an inductive relationship.

Something power engineers understand of course. They have to generate and deal with reactive power every day, and ensure there is sufficient generated so that electrical items can operate at full output.

Too many economists believe the apparent power of the economy and the real power of the economy must be the same.
I personally don’t see the appeal of Go. With Rust, I can write a concurrent, safe, and C-performant program with modern programming features like matches, generic programming, and a dedicated package manager (never understood go get). To boot, Rust has a strong ecosystem and the fastest web framework out there (Actix). It takes roughly the same amount of code to do networking stuff in Rust and Go, but with Rust it is more performant and I can sleep better knowing that if it compiled, it is at least safe and won’t have any concurrency bugs.

A quick back of the paper example, I am doing Advent of Code this year and the same exact implementation took 40 ms in Rust and 350 ms in Go. Not to mention the Rust implementation, despite being the same semantically, was more concise and clear due to Rust’s extensive Iterator trait methods. A small difference you might say, but it’s just one less reason for me to switch.
I recall Windows has/had yellow "sticky notes" that could be used for that purpose.

Performance of ref-counting is proportional to the size of the dead objects. Performance of tracing gc is proportional to the size of the alive objects. In other words, there are many real-world situations in which ref-counting pauses are much longer than tracing gc pauses.

I believe the RoI on best practices is generally correlated to the scale of the application and engineering team you are working on.

A large number of best practices come from Big Corp engineers or organizations. Big corps have thousands of engineers that need to be able to read and contribute to code from many other teams. They have systems that need to be able to handle millions or billions of users.

In situations of massive scale strictly adhering to best practices is worth the investment, since it will make code easier to contribute to (readability/architecture standards), make sure it does what it's supposed to (unit tests), or keeps things performant. But the RoI of following best practices decreases as you move down the spectrum of scale
Firstly, yes, Grindr is mostly men looking for sex, but they're not all homosexuals and they're not all looking for sex; many are just there to flirt, others to troll. But Grindr is definitely gathering and selling lists: it's what they do.

Secondly, with the word "services" you're implying that the users are whores.

Thirdly, there are an infinite number of ways that Grindr could protect its users through the design of their app: from purely technical measures such as end-to-end encryption, or through careful informed consent about shared data and protection of people who are legally or functionally incapable of such consent.

But from your statements you just want to blame the users because you disapprove of them. I'm sure you can do better than that.
I wonder if jail time for developers knowingly implementing lax systems for exchanging personal data could help?

This way most developers would refuse to write systems that could potentially get them in trouble, until their employer transparently ensures that no laws are broken. Some kind of engineering ethics.

>Is the target audience developers who want to develop drivers and stuff for this?

Correct that's the way Pine64 works. Really it's the way the vast majority of niche ARM powered dev boards work. It is often stated on the product pages for people that don't seem to understand this. Their devices are often sold for very little margins above cost as they are mainly to drive developers to the platform. (as development on these devices benefits the SoC manufacturers)

If you want something more consumer friendly come back in two+ years when some of the kinks have been worked out.
Congrats for the release! Krita is one of the most awesome KDE apps and it's really nice to see so much new features in this release.
>These days it seems like addiction mechanisms, getting people to spend more money, obsessiveness with graphics over gameplay, etc.. are ruining everything.

Couldn't be further from the truth, especially when it comes to Street Fighter... People complain about microtransactions today and don't even think to consider that the original microtransaction was the arcade machine. Games back then were specifically designed to extract a certain amount of money per hour from players and their difficulties were adjusted to maintain that rate.

It's never been better to be a game developer then today. The number of platforms available to you, distribution options, variety of studios/publishers are much greater today than ever before.

I used to live in Seattle. I was recently in San Francisco. Please do not gaslight me. I have firsthand experience with vomit, hypodermic needles and assault in urban areas.
But since there aren't unlimited people the increase in exponential growth doesn't matter much. The same number of people are going to be exposed and it will happen only slightly quicker.
Before Krita was 'marketed' as a digital painting app, it was described and used as an alternative to GIMP and Photoshop.

At some point (in the 2010s?) there was a decision to refocus on digital painting, I think maybe because of the difficulty of keeping up with the expansive featureset of something like Photoshop or GIMP (and maybe the additional difficulty of still keeping a focused, pleasant UI).

But it's not like the developers removed a bunch of functionality. It's cool to hear that Krita remains capable of handling some heavy duty photo editing use cases.

> It has no owner.

It's not about ownership. It's about my right to keep private information private. It's a right granted by law: the GDPR.

> Information wants to be free

That slogan originates in a sentence that contrasts "information wants to be expensive" (because it's so valuable) with "information wants to be free" (because it's so cheap to distribute). It's not like saying "televisions want to be free, so I think I'll steal one".

I suspect that many of the GDPR-haters here aren't people who depend on selling PII for their living; I suspect they're just jealous.

Sewing is great fun.

I started sewing last year while planning a bike packing trip where I wanted to finally switch from tent to hammock. Finding proper underquilts for hammocks in Europe is... a mess.

In the end, I decided to borrow my sister's sewing machine and give it a try.

I ended up sewing not just the underquilt but also ultra light bike bags, an ultra light hammock, a tarp and a bunch of smaller bags for storage.

I never thought the technical side of sewing would be so much fun - I spent hours researching fabrics and composites for a project in order to fulfill 'your' specific needs.

My sister never got her sewing machine back.

I already have too many hobbies. Amateur Radio. Metalworking/welding. Acoustic Guitar. Off-roading and working on my 88 Suburban which is an ongoing project (aren't they all..)

But, this year I started putting more effort into my YouTube channel and grew it from about 300 subscribers to over 700. I have a long way to go. It's niche (amateur radio homebrewing) and so small is fine. But learning how to make better videos and edit them has been interesting.

On that note, if anyone can recommend a video editor that isn't too hard to use, is free, and can work with a GT740 (you can stop laughing!) I'd be obliged. Win10's video editor stopped working reliably for whatever reason.
fair points, but the internet allows unseen concentration and economies of scale. The existence of some services prevents the upcoming/use of others and thus I am basically forced to use some of these services (e.g.: Twitter, Whatsapp), if I want to keep my standard of living that I had before a lot of stuff moved there (Events that are organized only on Facebook come to my mind).
rsync is from 1996. I remember I told me something like "it's like rcp but only for what's changed". I agree that with hindsight mirror could be a better name and mirrordir [1] would have had to pick a different name in 1998 [2]

The crisis is also recent. The Covid-19 pandemic arrived in Europe in early 2020. Please see the other comment that I just wrote in this thread. Poland has 2 paths out of the crisis, it can take on debt or it can take on inflation (or it can mix the two). But there is no free way out of the crisis. Whatever strategy it decides on will have some consequence that will take a few years to unwind. And that is mostly true of all nations, of course, though Poland's situation is somewhat unique, in that it is in the EU but has its own currency, which has tended to make devaluation an easy option for it.

One can imagine an alternate universe in which Poland has been lead by progressives for the last 30 years, who make big investments in science research and education so that Poland came up to speed quickly on high-technology industries and so rapidly increased labor productivity. In that alternate universe, the government of Poland would be able to follow a policy of tight money, such that zloty would gain value against the euro. And of course, some of that happened, labor productivity increased. The zloty was 6 to 1 against the USA dollar in 1989 and then got to 2.5 to 1 around 2011 or 2012, before sinking again. One can imagine, in this alternate universe, Poland made such huge investments in science research and education that the zloty eventually got to be 1 to 1 with the USA dollar.

But that isn't what happened. Poland has been governed by center-right and far-right parties who've limited government involvement in the economy and who have avoided big bets on future investment, outside of infrastructure investments. So, as a practical matter, devaluing the currency, and accepting inflation, has been the most convenient way for the Polish government to keep unemployment down.
I'm actually interesting in this as well. I've noticed watching the HTTP logs for my small site, I have traffic on it (it auto-polls my server every 60 seconds to report updated status), but none of those show up as "active" users in Google Analytics.
