- Importing photos should be as easy as drag and drop or "add directory".

Check Lomorage web app and import tool.

- Images in the library should be mirrored to an internal store independent of the greater filesystem.

The storage can be on the external hard drive or remote mounted device.

- It needs to support rich tagging. Images should be easily enumerable by tag.

Tag will be added.

- It needs to store all metadata in a central database or file that I can easily distribute and back up. (As opposed to writing the data into the images directly.) It would be nice if the primary keys to image were signature-based rather than filename (and especially not full file path) as it could live on different systems.

All the metadata is stored in sqlitelite database and backup daily.

- Group by GPS coordinates would be nice. Even better if it can pull the location name.

GPS location already processed and stored in DB, currently support search by location, will add map view.

- Group by date taken.

The default view is by date taken, in reverse order, latest first.

- Find or automatically ignore/remove duplicates.

dedup done by file hash, also support similar photo dedup by using perception hash, will add in smart album.

- Support for a NAS or cloud backup would be fantastic. Especially if it also backs up the database.

Support redundancy backup with network mount.

- It should generate pre-computed thumbnails so scrolling a large library doesn't show blank images, but keep them off to the side so it doesn't impact backup.

- It should have RAW support, but doesn't need editing/adjustment capabilities. (If not available, I suppose I could pre-process the RAWs.)

Support iPhone dng raw format, others can be added.

- Video support would be extremely nice too, but it doesn't need to have any editing or miscellaneous features.

Support popular video formats supported on Android and iOS

- It would be nice to keep galleries separate, or at least in different namespaces so I can reuse tags. Family, real estate, conceptual/renders, etc.

Current support album and folders, the same concept with those on iPhone.

- Replication across multiple devices would be a nice to have, especially if it can update tags and metadata across machines.

Backup photos/videos and also metadata database on 2nd storage.

- Open source would be nice, but I'd be happy with paid/commercial software if it did what I wanted.

- Multiplatform support (Linux, Windows, Mac) would be extremely nice. Even nicer if it supports mobile too.

Multiple platform support, and has native mobile apps as well.

- It should be snappier than a web-based gallery.

Mobile first + Web APP

- That said, internet web access (like photos.google.com) would be killer.

Support external access via ngrok or other similar tunnel service, can also open port mapping on home router if having public ip address.
How many times will you play and not continue? Might as well continue.
Competition is an incredible driver of outcomes, e.g. moon landing. It's also better from a risk perspective since it decorrelates efforts and we only need 1 to succeed. It also allows evolution to operate, where the incompetent and broken and corrupt die off and the productive are given more resources, which tends to lead to overall improvement.

Sure, competition also creates waste, which is your main point here, but don't discount the upsides.

Competition has proven itself in the real world. Having only one monolithic vaccine maker (whether for-profit, non-profit, or government) would be a very bad thing. What would happen if it falls to corrupt leadership, as one of many examples of how this could go wrong? There is no mechanism to escape badness here, because we only have 1 of them.
Another former employee. I'll add that once search engine for apps clearly wouldn't work there was an attempt to pivot to something like Google cards but directly linked to the app (so yelp reviews for restaurants instead of Google reviews). This wasn't a bad idea but they raised the money for a large scale product (1000s of apps) and so invested in scale before proving the market fit. Combine that with Alibaba money splitting focus again and there never was a useful product launched.

(Google employee now: views are my own)
I mean, you could be lighting a cigar with that $10, so you're losing out on something. It's much more than $10/month => $120/year. It's the principle of the matter that a shitty company's best way to make money is to make it hard for the people that tried it out to leave. You are just proving their business model works. You (royal you, but you personally as well) are part of the problem.
It is unfortunate that they seem to be going for user created username. I’d rather have something like ~hkopy-vnhyt randomly generated and given to users with option to try for another randomly generated username if they didn’t like the first.
Like many others, I wasn't a huge fan of the composition API. Felt like we were giving up many quality of life features in the name of a weird "must be like react" push.

On the other hand, once I started actually using it, I found myself liking <script setup> very much. I also like the "ref" thing because I have been pushing for this approach for a long time. Values are objects/proxies is a wasteful, yet powerful approach.

I am not going back to writing Vue 2 style components and encourage all of my co-workers 5o do the same. They are slowly but surely coming to accept it. No more lazy hacks for them
No, just this one. All you have to do is look at the comment history and see for yourself.
I'm sorry about your daughter. This is a tough problem.

Even if pharmaceutical company profit weren't an issue, limited resources still would be a problem, so very rare diseases would still suffer from lack of attention, I'm afraid, because if we replaced "what research produces the most profit" with "what research benefits the most people", that still wouldn't help KS sufferers much. Perhaps the kind of fundraising you are doing is the best that can be done. Or maybe some line of research that can benefit sufferers from multiple diseases (say, anything that results in a missing protein) could help a larger number and obtain government funding.
Apple actively sells devices in every state. It accepts credit card users from every state.

If I only sold a physical product in GA and someone from Texas bought it and took it home. They could only sue me in GA under GA laws.

The US is also a “single market”. But each state has its own laws.
Because the EU really has a great history of tech laws…

> Problem is, the federal government (and the state governments and to a large extent big chunks of the citizenry) are fundamentally opposed to the issuance of a non-passport general citizen's ID and/or number.

I wonder if this mightn't change with states increasingly requiring voter ID.

After all, it'd be pretty dumb to on one hand mandate that every voter have government-issued ID, and on the other to oppose it.
I'm not sure what EPA can do to make it more useful. My personal example is the USEPA/USEEIO modeling framework [1]. My agency uses a pricey and rigid proprietary modeling framework. When I suggested USEEIO as an extensible cost-effective alternative I was met with resistance that it is free and mustn't be any good and definitely not defensible in court. Classic .gov thinking. I think DoD prioritizing open-source along with the work of USDS/GSA at digital.gov needs to diffuse to Senior Execs at other agencies to shift the paradigm. Unfortunately it feels like this is a decade out. Thank you for pushing OSS in .gov and to your peers at EPA for USEEIO.

One way to prove it might be to actually find the "null hash"; turn it into a challenge/puzzle, don't mention hashing or crypto or that it's really hard, and let all the bored people of the world play with it. Perhaps someone might notice something that all the highly-trained cryptographers have missed all along: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30245419

The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. Helped me understand how to change small habits.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Helped me understand how to change how I look at my perception of things that distress me.

I think my ideal WM would me split the screen up regions, then I populate the regions with a bunch of apps. Where as in tiling WMs all your windows need to be visible.
I hope they don’t implement it broken like Telegram’s.

If a person has your number in the contacts then your username and phone number are automatically merged together even if you were conversing to that person using your username from your perspective. That’s such a safety nightmare.
This is really sad, but I run a competing service so in my greedy business mindset I'm glad their doing it and getting called out. On Qvault.io I've done my best to make cancelling easy. I've lived the horror stories of dark patterns trying to cancel stuff. My vasa gym was the worst, I had to pay a fee to cancel.
You can back up. Not restore though. The database key is in the config file.

How does it help security?
It's been promised for years, but you still can't use a second phone as a linked/secondary device. As a result, it is literally impossible to have the same signal account on two iPhones. Since they already support using an iPad as a linked device, this would require little more than changing a flag and a recompilation. Maybe they have their reasons, but all they keep saying is 'soon'.
They said it was to piggy back on people's contacts too.
They did the thing and got feedback, worked as far as I can tell.
Recent favorites - Outer Wilds, Doom Eternal, INSIDE, Red Dead Redemption 2.
Yep also you signed a hefty EULA with Lenovo allowing just this. Lenovo uses the google home software modified for its product. This is the same problem android phones have. Google moves on and OEMs don't bother to keep up. Or OEM's contract end and they don't want to pay to renew. These hit the market in 2018 so they were most likely licensed in 2017, so that 5 year just expired and now they can't use whatever google service anymore.

That doesn't make it morally right, but legally, this isn't a case that's going to work out. If cases like this did work, the tech industry would collapse because every ambulance chaser would sue over any tiny software change.
I would also highly recommend i3 + i3-gnome combination [1]. It adds a lot of gnome features out of the box to i3, like sound control, notifications, etc.

Almost every city in "flyover" states outside Chicago are this way. Most often they are in the form of bus systems, and the routes, frequency of routes and location of stops make it very clear what the purpose of the system actually is. Most of the people who the system was designed for would rather take an uber and save 30-45 minutes of their life each way. It's really sad because great public transportation makes city living much better for everyone. When it's not great, it sucks for everyone and people that can't afford a car pay a huge tax in time spent riding and waiting for the bus. In fact, it makes owning a car more attractive.
Appreciate the correction. As a Brit I should have fact-checked myself better, and my knowledge of the war should be better. As a child I lived in a military retirement home which was practically all soldiers and civilians involved with D-Day and Dunkirk so I got to hear many first hand accounts of these events.
It can, but you have to work around the new planned obsolescence built into the newest version of Windows...a requirement for TPM 2.0.

At least from what I've heard, you can bypass the installer's check, and guess what, Windows 11 can still run even without TPM 2.0.
> If you could do research that will save 10 lives, vs research that will save 1 life, which would you choose?

Both. We're not even close to our limits on research capacity.

If we actually were at the limits of research capacity, and we were actually forced to make decisions between livesaving treatments to research where we couldn't do both without sacrificing something else that saves lives, then yes, of course, choose the thing with the highest number of predicted lives saved. But we're not even close to needing to make such decisions yet.

We just don't have a good system for funding cures you can't sell to millions. That's not anywhere close to "heartbreaking decisions" territory; that's "societal coordination problem" territory.

To be honest, some people get an emotional satisfaction out of being unkind.

As a matter of practical strategy, being kind is better for all the reasons you suggest. See also Slate Star Codex, eg https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/02/23/in-favor-of-niceness-c... or https://slatestarcodex.com/2016/05/02/be-nice-at-least-until...
I have my name on a patent for an imaging pipeline.

I have no idea why it was granted. I sent it to headquarters as a design pattern description.

That’s pretty much the definition of “prior art.”

I guess they were able to reshape it into a form that the patent office wouldn’t laugh out the door. I never really looked at it. I hate reading patents; even my own.

This is a great example of "what happens at the edge". It's predictable but no one predicts it because no one considers it.

Reminds me of the John Carmack quote someone added on another discussion yesterday: "A large fraction of the flaws in software development are due to programmers not fully understanding all the possible states their code may execute in."

Also reminds me of a line from a book (I can't remember which one), that was quoting an NSA representative in a meeting saying something along the lines of "our business is in the gaps between systems". My memory / interpretation taking it as: where one process ends and another one begins - that's where there's ambiguity, wiggle room, it's not process A's problem now, but it's not yet process B's problem, so what can we do to get in there and "make the ice spike".

The interesting things happen at the edges (in this case it's the middle, but that's missing the point).
The biggest productivity boost for me happened after I started using a Tiling WM (i3). I started out of necessity when I felt I have reached the maximum optimization with XFCE DE. I just didn't want to organize my windows manually again. Now browsers are all in 1st workspace. Text editors are all in 2nd. 4th is for chat apps. 6th for reading and documents like excel, pdf etc, 8 for image editing like GIMP, KRITA, Inkscape. 9th for entertainment! Makes your computing life predictable and easier is all.

A tiling window managers lets you:

- Map different apps to different workspaces.

- Open apps directly into specific workspaces.

- Tiling of apps to suit your needs.

- Utilizing maximum screen real estate (Uggghhh GNOME).

- Have peace with no more endless search for a window cos you don't know where the app is. Alt+tab Alt+tab Alt+tab Alt+tab Alt+tab Alt+tab!!!

- Have stable workflow cos they move slowly and less workflow breaks. Functional bugs could be reduced if you use old WMs like i3.

- Less bloat.

- First class citizen of the keyboard shortcuts workflow.

- There is one for everyone - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Window_manager#Tiling_windo...

I also don't think Tiling WM's are for everyone though. If you use <4 apps open at a time, maybe you don't need one. But if you have a browser open, a text editor, a terminal, A bunch of chat apps like Slack, Discord, Telegram. Then your email client... it is already crazy. But then you open your file manager to open bunch of files and then you have have those documents. It can get out of hand. Even if you are rebooting only once every couple of months or so, you will still eventually have to redo all the organization again.

Also if you do get interested in using a tiling WM, don't just jump right away (in Linux). Use it with a DE of your preference. I used XFCE and it worked well along with i3wm. It took a couple of months to remove my DE in full and embrace Tiling WM life. But it was well worth it. :)
I seriously doubt it’ll be a decoupling. They might come up with a coupling like Telegram - having both at once.
> Teaching as a profession is in an awful state, but involving more police is not the solution.

This is how much we value teachers a society.

The responsibility is shitty and potentially dangerous, so we throw it at the teachers.

Because involving police during an assault is not the solution?

If someone punches me, I would immediately involve police.

Kids who punch others should be punished by law enforcement.

Teachers have no authority to punish a kid whatsoever.

This might be small, but the Apple watch needs to implement a body battery/stress/recovery score like Garmin, Fitbit and Whoop has.

Apple loves to show off its bloody oxygen sensor and its ECG capability. But they do not take key metrics that the watch measures all day and tell me what they mean. Heck the watch even measures heart rate variability but only logs it into the Health app.

But they need to be taking the resting HR, heart rate variability, HR, respiratory rate and develop a model for determining a stress and recovery score which ties into sleep etc. Showing these metrics on their own is great but they need to take the key metrics and show us what they mean.

Garmin, Whoop and Fitbit all do this and it's a key differentiator. I think the largest differentiator between it and its competitors.
Oh come on. How can you seriously say that? I think what you mean is “smartphones hide the underlying file system, regardless of platform.”
> if there is a mission-critical fix which needs to be made to a project, this memo authorizes + encourages DoD personnel to contribute to FOSS projects!

Yes, but that is rarely a means to get anything done urgently.
Currently Garmin, Fitbit and Whoop have much more advanced health features than the Apple watch. I agree, its a big downfall of the Apple watch IMO.
If that stuff is your idea of "harm", you have lived a very sheltered life.
You can turn on Registration Lock which requires the PIN if you "re-register" with signal again.
My first "computer" was a thermal paper terminal, with modem-phone coupler to dial-in to Compuserve (like $6 an hour after 6pm with minimums)

The separate actions of CR and LF were definitely important.

PDP-11 at school also was a paper terminal with same importance.

It's really amazing how far we've come considering what everyone has in their pocket.

Oregon Unemployment uses it too.

It's the most difficult login process I've ever encountered and I've lived on the internet since 1996.

The fact that it's the only vendor you can use should be illegal.

This barrier has been put between Oregonians and the unemployment benefits they're entitled to. <- This is a bigger story IMHO.
It should work with all of the GPUs that collab has I believe. Try clicking Runtime->Restart and/or Restart and Run to see if that helps.
IPTV – DMCA Takedown
I know the founders of Tines, so I can confidently say that it wasn't dreamed up by a VC. The founders both come from an infosec background. They basically left their jobs to build the product they wished existed.

They were quite good at security operations. That probably made it easier to gain initial traction because they understand their target niche's problems.

I won't upvote this article because it's content marketing spam, but I respect the hustle and hope that it works for them!
I would like to add the maybe counterintuitive fact (for people that never looked into that theory) that for "bandlimited signals", i.e. in your CD example a piece of music that does not have any content above 22.05kHz to begin with, that reproduction of audio will be perfect, i.e. look exactly the same as the input signal. (Well, assuming ideal filters and analog components, which isn't really possible, but you can basically get "arbitrarily close" to the representation of the original signal with your digital 44.1kHz signal assuming a bandlimited signal by choosing better and better analog components.)

These effects are technically present but negligible for all practical purposes (well, unless you're building the next Gravity Probe B). The geodetic precession for a satellite in polar LEO is roughly 1 deg per 500 years [1]; the other types are orders of magnitude smaller.

You've made a good point, however, that two of these types of precession are evidence that the Earth spins (whether you could convince a flat-Earther of Thomas precession is a separate matter). But let me offer a gentle correction: Thomas and Lense-Thirring precessions are caused by the rotation of the Earth, whereas the geodetic precession is merely caused by the presence of a central mass.

Because they're our de facto fascist rulers. America is a republic only on paper.
It is possible to maintain the benefits of competition without the level of duplication and profit motives that we struggle with today.

Large scale collaborative scientific endavours like CERN show us that it is possible to both publically share knowledge and still explore multiple avenues and competing designs. There's also no financial profit motive and while CERN receives a lot of public funding, it has to pump that funding back into the economies of the funding countries so it serves more like a high-tech industry stimulus and technological incubator.

I see no reason why a similar aproach for the development of (specific) therapeutics could not work.
