Most people that use the BLM name and phrase pretty much have never heard of the incorporated BLM organization that lives rent free in conservative's minds.

Just something that I've noticed is a bit of a disconnect.

People typically are wanting to bring attention into lack of oversight in policing practices, which would benefit all. There is an organization of the same name that has some truly strange and unrelated desires and governance structure. The latter is typically conflated with all the people using the phrase BLM in right wing publications and circles.
Try to use a Nokia N900 today, and check if that's really the bar (I have one in my drawer).

I think the bar is higher, and the experience is already better than that on a few mobile devices.

If talking about the UI, Plasma mobile is a bit experimental, but gets stuff done with bells and whistles, phosh is a bit barebones but better performant. If you want the Maemo UI, try Nemo mobile. When installing postmarketos on a device, you get quite a few to pick from.

If you talk about performance, there are plenty of devices to pick with better performance than the Pinephone (including the Pinephone Pro soon, and the Librem 5). It was meant as a cheap dev platform, and it has largely succeeded at that.

Now, telephony support is where it hurts. Supporting modems can get quite complex, so progress is slow. The Pinephone was deliberately engineered as to be doable.

Part of the Linux appeal is choice. Choose what you don't need, but we'll likely end up with different needs.

One way to bridge the gap is to get Android apps running. We're getting there thanks to waydroid.
Well... if we're trying to model how a translucent pane would work in the real world, then this is correct for one particular interpretation of alpha.

However, if we're talking about how alpha blending actually works in software, then it can vary a lot.

For example, in Direct3D you would typically use the `D3DBLEND_SRCALPHA` and `D3DBLEND_INVSRCALPHA` for the source and destination blend modes respectively. In that case, the combined alpha is actually `src_alpha^2 + (1 - src_alpha) * dst_alpha` which is different again from the two calculations in the article.

There are even other ways to achieve a physically realistic result that use a different interpretation of the alpha channel. Or maybe you want to solve for something else (eg. order-independent blending)

the email w/unsub link could be forwarded also, it's often a portal to change notification settings w/o auth and leaks personal preference info - and when there is auth it's impossible to unsub when if were signed up maliciously.

it happened to me - someone charged a bunch of stuff to my cc and then registered my email at thousands of sites to bury the email receipts (it didn't work since I have simple filters for that sort of thing) but it has been impossible to unsubscribe from all the junk. livemail's bulk optout was roughly 50% effective. the dark patterns around optout are outrageous and it's worse when you have to use google translate just to find it.
Thanks. I'll take a look. No relation. My goal is to put the raw data in the hands of technical end users or network operators.
We all will lose if any side of the conflict starts the war. For Poland this may mean, for example, a refugee crisis on the scale far beyond what we had after conflict in Syria. I do not think this will happen.

As for the expansion of NATO, any change in the military configuration of it is an unnecessary and significant escalation. Russia is not threatening neither Finland, nor Sweden, not even close, but we will get at least an arms race in Baltic region if they join.
Russian military strategy is that of active defense, they build up the power to protect their own territory. They do not have capabilities to attack and occupy Poland or Finland for a long time, mainly for logistical reasons (their army will run out of fuel quickly and won’t be able to resupply fast enough).
The worst part of the expansion is not that there’s a hypothetical risk of a conflict but that it strengthens Putin. He has built his rule on the idea of Fortress Russia surrounded by enemies. Any hostile moves by the West help him to build this case and to prove that pro-Western opposition is wrong. But if instead we could bind Russia in the series of multilateral deals with its neighbors, including defense cooperation, we could on one side defeat the Russian hawks and on the other side create too big pie to lose for Russian elites. America has Monroe doctrine: we should try to remove the need for Russia to have one. Situation in Ukraine made this really hard to achieve, but not impossible.
in the USA, a psychiatric patient, even if seriously ill, has the right to refuse medication. This non-negotiable law is in place exactly because of past generations battle over forced medications.

Could you log the headers and body though? I looked into it a little and it looks tricky (requires buffering incoming request body to individual files, which are then your logs of the request body which have to be correlated somehow with the log files.)
To me a good trick to avoid perfectionism is to call something a v1 and just finally finish it
STEM is a logical next step up from the trades (in terms of career development without starting your own company).

So its probably not so much propaganda. It's more like if you already know a trade and are interested in knowing more or working at a higher-order than what you already do, there's likely a STEM field for you for exactly that pursuit.

i.e.

- Construction worker? Mason? Civil engineer

- Electrician? Electircal engineer

- Mechanic? Mechanical engineering

- CNC Machine operator? Software engineering (if you're interested by the machine itself) or Industrial engineering (if you're interested by the workflow)
This is cool.

> incorrect and unintuitive

The thing that you might be missing is that "incorrect" is (usually) objective, but "unintuitive" isn't necessarily so. I can see how someone else would think additive opacity is intuitive, even if it's very easy to show that it isn't correct.
I have no idea what Google Workspace provides, but here's my review of Fastmail:

- The web interface is good, the Android app is good. Relatively fast and straightforward to use. Pretty good reliability aside from the occasional DDoS.

- The calendar is functional but kinda lame. I don't think I've ever noticed before an event happens, and trying to open new events has poor UX. Typical Calendar features work fine.

- Haven't really used Contacts but they're all there from my phone.

- There's a Notes feature which I find mostly useless since it doesn't really sync with anything (though supposedly it can work with Apple Notes' proprietary format?).

- They give you dedicated file storage and transfer quota just to serve files on the web (unrelated to mail quotas). It's accessible via normal browser and via WebDAV client. I guess it's handy, I've used it once, but pulling attachments out of emails is almost the same. If you had to send someone a large file and couldn't send it via e-mail, there you go.

- They have all the mail features that I've used in Gmail. They have some "team" features, I suppose they're helpful if you have multiple users.

- You can connect your Google, Yahoo, Outlook, iCloud, and other accounts in Fastmail so you can actually pull mail from all those places. You can even send e-mail through each of those providers too. So this is pretty cool for consolidating accounts.

- They have their own e-mail masking service, and partnered with 1Password so the masked e-mails have matching credentials in your 1Password account.

- The people running it are using really old tech and don't chase after the latest shiny thing, which I appreciate. Everything they do seems sensible. These aren't tech bros gobbling up VC money to become a Unicorn. And they don't seem to use any trackers or ads at all. The only 3rd party domains I see are from Sentry (for debugging app issues).

- My gripes: the Android app doesn't cache mail or calendar, the Calendar is clunky and notifications don't grab my attention, their new UI in beta will probably become more cramped soon.
Outlook properties seemingly use uceprotect lists. Outlook support even has a page for getting off their block list, but I could never get a reply.

And my hosting provider basically said "we're warning against using our servers for outbound email", which amounts to "we're not gonna do anything about your bad neighbors that landed you on the uceprotect lvl2&3 lists"

Been running my own email for 18 years, and outlook is the only place that i have problems delivering to.
>By accepting this mandate we're not only accepting this jab, we're accepting all the future crazy ideas that the government will come with.

No we're not. Accepting mandates doesn't somehow force everyone to automatically accept anything any politician claims or does in the future. That's not how anything works.
Been using Migadu for half a decade now. Only catch is that there isn't a contact/calendar service. I've been told it's in in the works multiple times over the years, and I'll welcome it when it does release, but it might be a dealbreaker for some workplaces.
This is odd. When "migrating" from G-Suite to Workspaces a couple of days ago I got the option to continue as not-a-company. I migrated a company account but still have a personal account with a domain to migrate. I'm sensing problems ahead...
Public health “experts” have done very little to quell fearful vaccinated people. In my opinion some of the worst anti-vaxx propaganda comes right from these health departments.

If you are vaccinated, you are done with the pandemic. Morally, ethically, and practically. You should be allowed to return to actual, pre-pandemic normal. End of story.

> If your needs are simple enough, built-in Django function-based views will do

This is the bit I find not really true.

My needs are simple (10-20 basic get/post/put/delete APIs, many at the business logic layer than true REST) but I still would really like the OpenAPI docs, auto-generated schema definitions, etc etc. If I can get that with just some simple decorators on my existing views and pydantic models for the inputs and outputs .... that would be awesome.
Uh, so the solution is to deny food to your fellow human beings because you slightly disagree on marginal political issues?
The parent slightly misquoted it and it really needs the context.

The Silicon Valley of Iowa, is actually the nothing of nowhere. He is saying that when you are using the name of the original place to claim yours is the new place, it's more likely what you've got is a nothing of nowhere (ie the new place really doesn't matter, thus you're attempting to borrow reputation in naming in the form of the Silicon Valley of country/city/location).

The same usually goes for products/services as well. The Uber of XYZ is most likely garbage if that's how you're identifying your service. We're building the Airbnb of lawnmowers. And so on. Thiel's quote is essentially about knock-offs, copying, derivatives and how effective (or not) that process tends to be.

Elaborated quote from Thiel (from seven or eight years ago; may be extracted from his book, Zero to One, in which case it probably actually dates back to the Stanford lectures he did):

"There are a few different problems with it, one is that it is not even clear why Silicon Valley works. It is a singular thing, it is one time, one place. It’s very hard to figure out what are the factors which drive it. Is it the fact that it has good weather? Is it the fact that you have this whole network effect of people and some very successful companies which have been built over years? Is it the unenforceability of non-compete agreements so that employees can leave from one company and go and work in another in the state of California?"

"And then I always think that once you have set out to copy something you have already put yourself in somewhat of an inferior position somehow. The something of somewhere is the nothing of nowhere. The Oxford of Iceland is not Oxford. So all these – Silicon Beach, Silicon Roundabout – these all sound like inferior knockoffs."

"You don’t want to start with an inferior derivative. The question always has to be, what is it that you can do that is better than elsewhere? In the London context, there is a sense that it is the most cosmopolitan city in Europe and that is probably the strength that London should be pushing towards. There has been a lot of interesting finance innovation in London and so that seems natural."

That's the same for any country I think. It's just amazing that they are so knowingly surrendering an important component of national security in exchange as part of a frankly stupid strategy (converting house heating to gas, which as said is something surrounding countries did more than half a century ago). Were they building gas fired power plants and getting people to install electric heat pumps, in anticipation of sufficient green production capacity, I would understand it better.

It's such a bad plan on many fronts, that I really struggle to understand how an otherwise pretty rational political culture arrived at it.
That you can pay them to get off the blacklist does sound rather like a protection racket. Am I missing anything?
In their Q&A they have a link to a google form where they say they will email you alternative options after April 1.

May be worth the wait and just sign the form. Worst case, you still upgrade. But it seems like they may offer some super restricted free version for personal use.

I’ll probably just upgrade at this point. I wish protonmail supported contact syncing. That’s the main issue, that and our dakboard.

>What if I use G Suite legacy free edition for personal use and don't want to upgrade to a Google Workspace subscription?

>Upgrading to a Google Workspace subscription is a seamless transition for all customers currently on the G Suite legacy free edition. However, we understand some customers may not use their G Suite legacy free edition for business and may be interested in other options. If you have 10 or fewer users in your group and do not use your G Suite legacy free edition for business, please sign in to your administrator account to provide more information.

>Sign in to an administrator account (doesn't end in gmail.com).

Linear logic inspired ideas are always great
>I got a refund and I know my friends who got theır refunds when they forget to cancel subscriptions in time. It's also well known policy of Apple to refund you right away.

That doesn't excuse deceptive tricks used to prematurely start subscriptions. Many people don't bother chasing refunds. Anyways, you didn't address the issue: Apple says it's a three day trial, but the fine print says it's effectively a two day trial. Is that not an accurate assessment?

>I'm having hard time understanding why are you so bitter about

Sorry if I wasn't clear. The page I linked previously[0] says "3 months free. Apple TV+ is included for three months when you purchase an Apple device"[1]

Now, let me ask. When referring to purchasing products or services what does the word "included" mean to you? If english was your second language, what would you take "included" to mean in this context? Maybe you'd look the world up in the dictionary? Let's see -

Google says 'comprise or contain as part of a whole' and gives the example "the price includes dinner, bed, and breakfast". Merriam-Webster has a similar definition and gives this example: "The price of dinner includes dessert." Cambridge gives this example "The fee covers everything, babysitter included."

And so on. See the problem?

>The cancellation policy is not in the fine print at all, it's right there next to the cancel button. Where exactly it needs to be?

Again, refer to the page I linked with the ad copy regarding AppleTV+. I'm not sure what page you're referring to(?)

>Just return the device if this doesn't work for you.

That's not the point. The topic was (generally) about dark patterns and misleading wording. I'm just giving two examples which counter the notion that Apple isn't also guilty of it. I'm not "bitter", and as I mentioned I generally love Apple's products and services.

Regarding migadu, which I am now looking at, what verification have you who’ve selected it done for this statement “ Your emails are your own business. We have no interest in them. We do not access1, analyse2, scan or share any user data.” from their site?

yes, the company allowed people to sell up to 25% of vested shares if you were employed for more than 24 months

No
This is very stupid. Those in Belarus who can make a living via AppStore are independent from Belarus government or state owned companies for their livelihood. Also they are typically younger and liberal minded.

Now the West has taken their livelihood from them, forcing them to depend more and work for Belarus state. Same stupid policy as with Crimea.

This has literally just recently (re-)become an issue for me because after a good year or so of not being blocked, several emails from my server started getting filtered as spam by both Google and then just being outright blocked by both Google and Microsoft. When I got through Microsoft's steps to unblock, after several days and steps, they send me the message that actually my IP is not blocked.

Google's recent message was more helpful - apparently forwarding emails from the accounts I setup for my kids to my wife's Gmail account triggered some obscure rule that ruined my server's reputation with Google, and I think Google & Microsoft collaborate because the issues cropped up within a week of each other.

The interesting thing was I discovered the Outlook issue by trying to reply to an email sent from an Outlook customer. Yes, my reply to an Outlook customer's email to me was blocked because of my server's reputation.

To be clear, I run no mailing lists nor solicit any business with my email server. I use it for personal use only and my consulting work which involves know contacts. The forwarding I spoke of before is solely to our own personal accounts.

I use Mail-In-A-Box, for what it's worth, on a Linode VPS.

I just tried this in USD and at least the initial screens were more clear about the options. To wit: after "start your free trial", there's a choice of "$79 monthly, no cancellation fee" or "$52 yearly billed monthly, fee if you cancel". It is pretty common to discount per month when a user agrees to an annual contract.
Tbh I thought these sanctions are against govt officials and not the general population.

You can probably learn to draw like Da Vinci. You can't ever learn to sing like say Thom Yorke (from Radiohead) though - each person has its own unique timbre of voice, and you can't just sound like someone else. Similarly to how you can't just make yourself handsome through "working on it".
Great work Victor, it's so encouraging to see Asperti & Guerrini's research receive engineering attention! Anton Salikhmetov also had some nice implementations [1] a few years ago. As I understand, even Andrea Asperti didn't believe his approach was practical [2] :)

Not really, you assume that everyone in the world is the same as you. Much of the world is still using pre 4G technology and pipes with cell phones that have 512mb ram and possibly 32gb of memory (Total.)

Then you also have to realize what is the most consumption and usage - unlike most countries it is not streaming in general.

Why also aren’t inventors of technological breakthroughs and gadgets a major part of the arts? A humble stab at this question goes as follows.

The reason is that the arts are about creativity within the context of aesthetics dominated by concepts of beauty, physical dimension, and expression of abstract visualizations. Computer programming, while it is creative at times, consists of instructions that are being conveyed to a machine. Computer programming is more like someone that is translating ideas and possibly even arts to be re-created by a machine.
Rockwell Automation's Factory Talk software. It is used for developing GUIs for screens on industrial machines. Horribly expensive, laggy and broken. Versioning is a nightmare with crappy backwards compatibility (if it even decides to open the old project at all without crashing or locking up). God help you if it decides it doesn't want to deploy the screen programs over the network because then it becomes a song and dance to get it working over a USB key. Don't let windows update either as it seems like updates constantly break it. Sometimes it breaks itself and more often than not their (very expensive) support says to nuke everything and reinstall.

There are alternatives, some worse but most better and cheaper. But Rockwell is the industry standard in North America. So their screens get spec'd.
I did not know that the US had indiscriminate sanctions against Belarus.
