Do you think all users would agree with you?

I used Inkscape on Win10 recently, and also on Kubuntu (21.04 a and 21.10, I think) and the experience was comparable.

I do not like the icon themes now, they're very low contrast and difficult to decipher for me so use the old, colourful icons I'm familiar with. Apart from that and one problem with a dialog not appearing until I selected the option a second time (the XML dialog), all worked well.

I think it's difficult, a x.0 might not be snappy, might even have serious issues, but there's not enough manpower resource to address everything at once, it's going to be incremental. Holding things back would negatively impact the momentum of the project IMO, but yes may benefit an individual.

I highly recommend reading, "Nonviolent Communication." Don't let the title throw you off.

I sense the things you're doing (and wanting to do) are not aligned with any important needs. This lack of alignment (or awareness) can create confusion—and it's very common.

These are phases where we get the opportunity to go within and uncover parts of yourself worth exploring. This book can help you be more compassionate with yourself (and others) and help to see your needs.
That makes we wonder how many essentially invisible to the public cases this kind of restraint we have in the system.

It seem like all it takes is a plausible legal theory that could be dragged out combined with enough financial clout to make the defendant give.

It lasted all about two weeks and the judge basically embarrassed himself by granting it in the first place. He reversed himself in anticipation of being bench slapped by the appellate court. https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200713/17110644892/judge...

But you're right, there's always a judge stupid enough out there to do something outrageously illegal.
If it's too hard to identify fake content, how do you identify bad guys, even if you know their IDs? What difference does it make what ID is attached to information if you can't identify it as fake?

Everything from Microsoft.

I don't use anything from them myself, but I cannot avoid dealing with it because relatives and working colleagues still use MS stuff. Recently our school introduced MS Teams and it is terrible. ICQ was a better messenger than this abomination.
Yeah please some specific recs. I bought one and it was useless, yes I did take the plastic off.
I don’t disregard it. It isn’t about discomfort. In fact, I think that “solving checkers” is very useful, if your goal is to get the highest quality answers in checkers.

The problem I have is comparing that to having a dog speak English. It’s totally wrong. You had access to all these computing resources, and the sum total of millions of work by humans. You didn’t bootstrap from nothing like AlphaZero did, but just remixed all possible interesting combinations, then selected the ones you liked. And you try to compare this “top down” approach to a bottom-up one?

The top down approach may give BETTER answers and be MORE intelligent. But the way it arrives at this is far less impressive. In fact, it would be rather expected.
Seconded. I was taught ggplot by a great stats professor and the framing of visualizations as a language (gg actually stands for the grammar of graphics!) describing the relation between data and visual elements (layers in the graph) really made something click.

The amount of consideration and careful design behind tidyverse APIs (tidyr, ggplot, dplyr) really astounds me. I've never felt the need to actually memorize any of them but they come to me so naturally whenever I type "library(tidyverse)". Very few DSLs, libraries or APIs have ever made me feel this way, and certainly NOT Python and the mess that pandas/matplotlib/scikit is. Even more impressive that he managed to build such a consistent layer atop the hack that is base R.

Note that I've nothing against base R. It really appeals to the hacker in me and it certainly has a ton of cool features (a condition system, multiple function evaluation forms - in what other language are `if`, `while`, `repeat` and even parentheses `(` and the BLOCK STATEMENT `{` all implemented as functions?) but damn if it isn't a mess of corner cases and gotchas.
>Why would officials say that the biggest domestic terror threat comes from __white__ supremacists?

>White supremacists is a real thing.

Your first comment is answered by your second comment. There is no disagreement here. This part is true. White supremacists are currently the biggest domestic terror threat in the United States.

The parent poster deleted their comment, which from memory described their own personal experiences as a resident in a place where BLM held a protest/rally/march/whateveryouwanttocallit.

They were speaking from personal experience and they related an account of events that most of us would equate with the terrorization of innocent people who had no involvement in the triggering event or in the public events during the aftermath.

It doesn't matter when you are defining the truth of a statement whether the event was perpetrated by a lone actor, "a couple of bad actors", or a group organized with the intent to go out and terrorize innocents and destroy property.

The simple truth is that throwing Molotov cocktails is the act of someone hoping to terrorize another person or group. The simple truth is that harassing people in their homes and destroying the property of people who had absolutely no involvement in the trigger event and indeed, rioting in general, are events used to terrorize other people.

No one ever thinks that some of those who become victims would have supported those in the march until their own families and property were attacked and destroyed.

It doesn't matter that you characterize these problems as the actions of "bad actors". It is still true that the things they do are intended to terrorize others and the terroristic events occurred in the context of a BLM event.

BLM will not achieve any of their goals until they can control their processes and the actions of those who come out to support them. Allowing themselves to be associated with terrorist actions will cause their efforts to be set back even further.
> Also, it's worth bearing in mind that simulation is really hard and computationally expensive

With computation as we know it. Is our computation universal? Also, nature "computes" in some way, whether it's simulated or not. Somehow it "knows" how to manage everything, across billions of light years.
"I'm sure there are good lawyers out there, but they seem as rare as hen's teeth and well-intentioned social media companies. "

It seems the incentive for lawers as a group is, make everything more complicated for everyone else, so everyone else is more dependant on lawers to do anything at all.
I agree with the author that this is a relatively interesting, or at least benign, use of crypto. But let's look at what this project seems to boil down to.

It's about you earning crypto by letting others use bandwidth provided to you by your ISP, which is typically against your ISP's ToS.

And it makes sense that this is against the ToS. You're basically setting up a mini-ISP on your ISP's pipes without compensating them any extra for the increased traffic.

This is just fancy mooching, and if it were to scale up, ISPs would surely crack down on it.

And if ISPs really wanted to leverage end user hotspots to expand access, they could probably just do it themselves.

Better crypto idea than average, but still seems unsustainable and Rube Goldberg, like other crypto schemes.

What does trained to fall properly mean? Are you absolutely sure there is such a thing? I doubt that there is, because the human neck is not strong enough to withstand many kinds of flat falls (just watch FailArmy for a while), and assuming you can prevent a flat fall during an accident is a bad assumption. Assuming you can avoid a head-first fall is a bad assumption, and assuming you’re not going to be struck by a car is a bad assumption.

Have been biking many decades, fallen more times than I can count, and am as trained to fall properly as one gets, I think. I’ve had two falls in the last decade that would have put me in the hospital without a helmet, and one that may have killed me - head collided with a rock at high speed, but I had a good helmet and walked away. My belief is the opposite - that my need for a helmet has only grown the more skill I have. As I’ve gained expertise, I ride faster on average, I’m in traffic more, picking more difficult routes, riding in a wider variety of weather and conditions. All reasons to
Scrap yards don't want to deal with a tangled mess of barb wire - some won't accept it at all, some pay an extremely low rate for it. But if you cut it into short pieces (3ft or so) and neatly bundle it, most scrap yards will happily take it at their regular scrap steel rate.
My ZSA Moonlander keyboard [1].

When I bought it, I was just looking for a sleeker and more ergonomic keyboard with a split design, but the ability to easily reconfigure every key on the layout brought a new meaning to the word "ergonomic" for me.

It means that when a particular motion or shortcut that I frequently use is puts too much strain on my hands, I can simply change the layout to make the keys more natural too use. And it's just an overall incredibly well made product.

> MacOS in particular does an excellent job of rendering 2560x1440 to a 4K screen, and the increased DPI over a regular 1440p 27" screen is very noticeable.

MacOS in particular gets amazingly slow when you don't use a 1:1 or 2:1 scaling. I too have have two 27" 4k screens and they made the machine unbearably slow. It got so bad that I now treat them as 1440p screens and let the screens do the scaling. It's not pretty and slightly hazy, but at least the machine is usable.

> it feels like all of this could be solved just with good design in the normal standalone version

Let's be real 2 seconds here, the only reason this "upgraded" test exist is because it's more profitable than the regular one, this isn't a problem to solve (from the company's perspective). The entire thing revolves around the existence of an "inferior" version. They're going for 10x+ times more than a "dumb" test. It's pure marketing, they're preying on emotional people going through an emotional phase of their lives by selling them a pee stick that's supposedly going to "reassure" them.... this is marketing 101

Shane Legg is a cofounder of DeepMind and an AI researcher. He was pretty casual about predicting human level AGI in 2028.

https://www.vetta.org/2011/12/goodbye-2011-hello-2012/

He doesn't say so publicly any more, but I think it is due to people's negative reaction. I don't think he changed his opinion about AGI.
In macOS, the entire display is rendered at 4K no matter what you pick from the resolution box. Most apps have learned to provide 2x-3x “retina” icons so that their bitmap resources look crisp alongside the system UI resources at user-selected “resolutions”.

The Windows UI scaling slider behaves in exactly the same way, though fewer apps include 2x or 3x bitmap resources.

> The hard problem of consciousness shows science is insufficient to raise to the level of entitlement of humans, we're exceptions raising over the physical laws of nature, we have free will and other magical stuff like that.

That's not my understanding of the 'hard problem of consciousness'. Admittedly, all I know about the subject is what I've heard from D Chalmers in half-a-dozen podcast interviews.

>Race is a protected class.

Good, then you aconowledge that discrimination on this characteristic was an act of force requiring explicit protections to be implemented to cease the practice?

The poster is making the assertion that the same underlying pattern of behavior is unfolding, and your interpretation of it not being an act of force requires that your definition of "force" be so out of touch with the reality/form of life that they are invoking under the pre-supposition you both can come to an agreement on a dictionary referenced definition of the word, as to be uselessly undermined by arbitrary political distortions so as to be useless to continue trying to communicate.

This is not a good sign; for anyone involved; I might add.

Google Stadia - I got a free controller & chrome-cast in a promotion a while back and sceptically tried it expecting massive latency and poor image quality, but ended up being blown away. Being able to play RDR2 on my MB Air and then switching over to the TV (without any interruption) is something that never gets old. It's such a shame that the product seems to be in its death throes.
I recently got the Apple Magic Trackpad 2 for use on linux. I use it on the left side of my keyboard, so my right hand isn't taking all the RSI wear from using a mouse.

Overall, it works very well. It's basically plug-and-play. I only use it wired (with the included lightning-to-usbc cable), so I can't speak for the bluetooth experience.

I'm using KDE5 on xorg 7.7, and the multi-touch features work fine (two- and three-finger click). I haven't tried setting up gestures (three-finger swipe, etc) yet, so I'm not sure how well those work.

One issue is kinetic scrolling, where the page keeps scrolling with inertia after your input (like on a phone, or on macs). Without this, two-finger swipe scrolling will just emulate sending individual scroll wheel clicks to the app, which I find very unsatisfying.

At least on my setup, kinetic scrolling doesn't work by default. Maybe more bleeding-edge distros, or Wayland, or GTK DEs have better support for this -- not sure. I got firefox to support it by starting it with MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1. Chrome, Libreoffice, Konsole, and other apps still use the scrollwheel-type behavior. I haven't really spent much time looking into kinetic scrolling for them. I think this is probably the biggest drawback, but my impression is that it's not specific to the Apple Trackpad.
There are several things that can make builds nondeterministic:

* Many file formats, especially (but not exclusively) archives like .zip, embed timestamps in them.

* Absolute paths are also ridiculously easy to get embedded in the build artifact.

* Other components of the user's environment can get embedded, including current locale, username, hostname. Some of these are more common than others.

* Using an actual random number generator is more common than you might think (e.g., generating a cryptographic key during the build process), although still pretty rare.

* Saying 'for file in directory' is usually sorted in inode order by default, which makes it inconsistent on different people's drives (although deterministic for a single user, generally).

* Pointer addresses are nondeterministic. And it's easy to accidentally make a container that sorts by pointer address (e.g., std::map in C++).

* In general, there's several features of programming languages that make it easy to accidentally inject nondeterminism in your program. Concurrency is obvious, but using standard containers like rust's HashMap or C++'s std::map combined with a "for every value in container" make it easy to get that nondeterminism. Compilers are not immune from being nondeterministic, and while it is a bug for them to be nondeterministic, it still happens.
Often the alternative to giving a democratic government power really is for nobody to have that power, and in many other cases the alternative is for the power to be decentralized, so that many people have some of it.

For example, we might give a democratic government the power to tap everybody's phone calls at once, but if we don't, that doesn't necessarily imply that undemocratic, unelected oligarchs, or anyone else, is tapping everybody's phone calls at once. There might just be nobody who has the power to tap phone calls, as is the case with secure free software running on trustworthy hardware, or there might be many people who have the power to tap only a few phone calls.

And we might give a democratic government the power to assign workers to jobs, for example, as the Soviets did. Alternatively, undemocratic, unelected oligarchs could assign workers to jobs, as in a coal-mining company town; but an additional possibility is that workers and employers, or unions and employers, negotiate with one another, each limiting the power of the other.

We might give a democratic government the power to decide what's for dinner each day, which sounds ridiculous but is exactly the standard practice in kibbutzim and in school lunch programs in democracies. Conceivably, undemocratic, unelected oligarchs could decide what's for dinner each day, though I don't know of any examples; the usual alternative is for each family to decide what's for dinner each day independently, though in many cases this degenerates to an undemocratic, unelected head of household deciding. Often enough, some household members prefer school cafeteria foodoid products to the results, despite having no say in that decision-making process either.
I was with you until here:

> it's worth bearing in mind that simulation is really hard and computationally expensive

This is like ants saying "building mounds is resource intensive. We need our entire civilization working together to build one. You can try to get around this detail but..."

This carries the implicit assumption that if there is indeed a simulation then it is limited to human capability, which would almost certainly be wrong.
You can certainly catch a variant or just test positive even if you are fully vaxed and boosted. And frankly it wouldn't surprise me if this is just a way to shakedown tourists.

They decided last week that on the first and fifth days from arrival you must stay in an approved hotel. They don't tell you the results until you are all tucked in, and so you have a rather high chance of ending up in an expensive covid jail.

Next month is a long time away and they are making up new rules as they go as per usual. I admire your optimism and hope you get lucky and enjoy the place as few people will get to experience the islands so empty :)
I use the latest iPad Air similarly. Got it and an Apple Pencil as a more-capable replacement for my reMarkable tablet and my Kindle, turned off all notifications and did not install any distractions. It's a great device. For me the main apps are Bear and Concepts.
Now imagine if some app replacing 911 broadcast an emergency message to your friends or neighbors, with your location.

Who would you trust more to come to your aid when there is a situation?

How about in a rural area or one where police are overworked?

How about if each neighborhood could hire its own police agencies and police agencies would compete on how well they keep people safe and maintain order without excess brutality? If they got to know the people they are policing, and worked with the clergy and others to help them holistically?

That is how libertarians think.
Indeed, you can never tell what those companies put in their Ivermectin and HCQ tablets these days.
Not trying to blame anyone for anything here! My point was that in isolation, if wages keep pace with inflation, inflation benefits debtors (especially long term structured debt like mortgages) because you take out the debt in today dollars and can repay them with future dollars worth less.

For instance I have a 2.75-ish% APR 30 year fixed rate mortgage but inflation was 7%, so I made a ton of money by having that debt - factoring in tax breaks, I made nearly 6% return by having that mortgage over paying off my house.

I’m suggesting that lower and middle class folks have far more debt as a percentage of net worth and therefore benefit more as a percentage of net worth than wealthy folks from inflation (“being at the spigot”).

This is roughly right, as inflation rates go up to 12% inequality actually declines. Rich folks lose money on equities due to DCF modeling and folks with debt see it inflate away. I can find the study if you like.

But this is all conditional on wages keeping pace.
This is called hoarfrost
