I’ve encountered annoying bugs like Firefox being unable to render elements when SVG filters are applied to them so they just disappear, or smaller things like extreme banding on gradients that no other browser has.

My biggest issue was (maybe still is, I quit using Firefox last year) is that on wide color gamut displays, like every MacBook Pro, it renders colors completely wrong. So it would render literally every website, save black and white website, completely incorrectly.

My main browser these days is Safari (so I’m still enjoying a lot of browser bugs). When I really need something to work or need specific de tools I switch to Chrome. For me Firefox is in a middle ground between those two browsers, resulting in me never actually using it anymore.

Did you take a look at arrowair.com? Everything about that screams "art project". None of it makes sense. There are extreme engineering, economic, and legal challenges to doing have of what they are proposing, so the first thing they are investing in are their crypto projects? Because crypto crypto future future?

I don't necessarily think the author is a scammer, but the whole project is the equivalent of "I'm going to launch a rocket to the moon" and then the first thing you do is open a nice website and launch a new token.

There are only a few environment variables allowed to be set by an SSH client by default. You can add more by adding an "AcceptEnv" line to the SSH server "/etc/sshd_config" file.
The launcher, which is written in Go and C, is precompiled, so it can be reused in all apps. This means that, unlike jpackage, which requires you to build the Windows installer on Windows, the Mac installer on Mac, etc..., you can build for any platform from any platform.

The idea is to fulfill the promise of WORA all the way to deployment. Everything is built and configured in a cross-platform way, and then is deployed as first-class native bundles on each platform.
Good thing that Covid tests don't sequence/record patient DNA, as test results are aggregated by Palantir and others.
This legislation has never been invoked before. It's very difficult to invoke. Virtually any other law must be used first.
https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/e-4.5/page-1.html

>AND WHEREAS the Governor in Council, in taking such special temporary measures, would be subject to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Canadian Bill of Rights and must have regard to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, particularly with respect to those fundamental rights that are not to be limited or abridged even in a national emergency;

The right to peacefully protest still stands even with the invocation of this act. The Ottawa police have been incapable of ending this protest because it has been peaceful. Nobody has even raided/trespassed in the capital buildings like the January 6th 'insurrection' in the usa. If the protesters were anything but peaceful, the Ottawa police would easily be able to arrest them. Logically concluding that this protest has been peaceful. You can confirm this to be true simply by watching the myriad of livestreams online.

>3 For the purposes of this Act, a national emergency is an urgent and critical situation of a temporary nature that

>(a) seriously endangers the lives, health or safety of Canadians and is of such proportions or nature as to exceed the capacity or authority of a province to deal with it, or

>(b) seriously threatens the ability of the Government of Canada to preserve the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Canada

>and that cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada.

There are an awful lot of 'any other law of Canada' that could be used before this act. Some peaceful protests are not going to justify using this act. In fact not even possible to use this act against peaceful protesters. Trudeau is moving against a foe that isn't described by this protest.

The accusation or allegation by Trudeau is that the USA has a military occupation over Canada. The funding is being organized in the USA.

This to me doesn't ring true. If the USA wanted Canada, a squadron of F22 could annihilate our armed forces in a day. B2 bombers could lay waste to everything else. Canada could do nothing, none of our allies would come to save us. Our allies could never protect us against the USA. Nuclear bombs wouldn't be needed. Plus, we have an extensive and fantastic alliance with the USA. Why would Biden who is worried about Russia, Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan invade Canada? It makes no sense.

The alternative is that Trudeau has deployed this against his political opponents who are peacefully protesting.

What do you think?

I am not so sure that it is rare enough that you don’t need to think about it.

We do know that it also happened with the SAT and ACT college admission tests

Where parents hired a person to take tests on behalf of their children.

Now that word is out about this technique, if you don’t do anything to try to prevent it, it will happen more.
A proper answer would be to lift the mandate to vaccinate all truckers, because it doesn't make any sense anyway, give them 2 days to clear the roads, and bring in troops if they refuse. Problem is, Trudeau's ego is too big to yield to a bunch of unwashed truckers.
Some scattered thoughts on this article (which I enjoyed):

1. I often find myself purposely presenting caricatured arguments for different (often extreme) viewpoints. This is useful since it works with human nature to bring out objections. This is especially useful when you're presenting views to people who might feel uncomfortable disagreeing with you. If you present a caricatured argument, people will feel more comfortable bringing up objections, and you can get closer to the truth faster (esp. in management contexts).

2. I often find perfectly hedged essays (with every minor caveat and edge case identified and handled) really boring and tedious to read. E.g., it is more concise and to the point to sometimes just write "I believe that X", as opposed to spending several more paragraphs to explain more fully, "I believe that X, but of course in cases Y, Z, and W, there might be exceptions" (assuming Y, Z, and W are actually obvious).

This is why academic papers can sometimes be really boring to read: writers are forced by convention to explore tedious caveats and to signal their epistemic humility for pages and pages, but it doesn't really add any value to the readers.[1][2]

[1] Of course, sometimes it's useful to explore the nuances of an argument, and to double-check that even "obvious" objections really don't hold water. But often this leads to boring essays, and you should avoid doing this in a lot of circumstances just to avoid negative comments.

[2] But do you see that [1] is an example of what I mean above? =] It's arguably an obvious hedge that doesn't really add anything to my point.
> Ironic, coming from a 15 minute old account whose only comment is this response

It just means I couldn't let it go how hand-wavy your comment was. Sometimes you don't want to sit on the sidelines and watch others get hand-waved at
They haven't arrested anyone for doing anything. The cops literally just stand around and watch people.

If I had to hazard a guess, it'd be that not enough people want them for it to be a financially viable product.
One can be vaccinated and oppose the mandates.

It was certainly less than 10% of Indian farmers. It was rooted in Punjab, and had weak support in Eastern UP and Haryana. That's it.

Also, unlike Trudeau's mandates which had questionable backing from the constitution, the Farm Bill was passed by a Democratic Govt. with the necessary popular mandate.

> PAT KING: Pat King is a far-right protester who has said in videos posted to social media that there may be future plans to target politicians' homes and that "the only way that this is going to be solved is with bullets." He has called for the arrest of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly.

> King has gained attention online for a video posted to Twitter in which he decries the "depopulation" of white people, as well as another video posted in 2019 in which he makes racist remarks about Jewish, Muslim, and Chinese people.
They did start that way... they've been doing this for years.
I think most people would describe forcibly going through a barricade as smashing through regardless of whether or not the pther guy moved.
scrapped - after we got this version of the film back, we decided to rewrite the story. that meant that we substantially rebuild the film in the next year, even after we had recovered the version from Galyn's machine.
> You don't want a rushed experimental mRNA vaccine, get the Johnson and Johnson shot. It's basically the flu shot.

This is incorrect, adenoviral vector vaccines (certainly, ones which induce cells to express cytotoxic spike proteins) are also quite new and relatively untested. My wife's period was messed up by her J&J shot and my friend's mother had to have surgery to remove a life-threatening blood clot from her leg. And if the idea is "just get the shot so you can move on with your life," well, the J&J shot only buys you two months of reprieve under most of the mandate & passport schemes.

Other than that, I greatly appreciate your comment.
I started playing with Julia in 2013, after searching for a Matlab replacement that was (according to my notes at the time) "... open (or more open than Matlab), fast, parallelizable, with good scientific/math libraries." My intent was to write a reusable and extensible library to enable my day to day work (astrodynamics and estimation). Two years later I had implemented enough tools and gained enough proficiency with it that I switched entirely away from using Matlab at all (even for smaller data analysis tasks), and I haven't looked back.

It has made me objectively better at my job, and a much better programmer overall.
In my early 20s, I thought technology could solve all of our problems.

In my late 20s, I thought people-processes were the real hard problem.

Now, in my early 30s, I think leaders who build both of the above, but have the wisdom and flexibility to know when to make exceptions, are perhaps the most fundamental key to success.

I wonder how my perspective will change as I complete this decade of my life.
R has superb documentation. I miss it with Python.

For what it's worth: no he didn't, he got 50.3% of the vote[1]. We don't directly elect prime ministers in Canada.

The point is even with smallpox some people refused to get the vaccine. People are weird.
Problem is that in many companies designers are given absolute reign over how the product looks. And another problem I see all the time is that designers often treat the result of their work as an art piece, not as a tool that has the purpose of human-machine communication. So, yes, it looks nice if all you do with it is look at it.

Flat design has only one good thing about it: it can be easily done with vector graphics. Which is important for modern high-dpi displays. But I'll gladly go back to using a bunch of bitmaps for every button if that meant the UI would become more intuitive.

> We need the System 7, Be/Haiku, Windows 9x... design back. Now.

Skeuomorphism (OS X 10.9, Windows 7) was nice too tbh.

From the start, I've been trying to add the qualifier that regardless of whether you throw your backup into a USB drive or an S3 bucket, if you don't test restoration, your backups are probably incomplete.

I agree with you on both of those statements. Unfortunately that doesn't resolve the thorny issue of whether forced or coerced vaccination can count as political violence, but perhaps this thread will not uncover a unanimously accepted answer to that contentious question.
Anyone who has interviewed more than a handful of developers knows this is true. It is a very painful experience for both sides of the table. Any kind of evidence is difficult to provide without potentially leaking personal information - unless you just want pipeline stats, which could just as easily be made up if you're not believing what the other person is saying...
Completely off topic, but most oxygen comes from ocean plankton, not trees.
Since the article mentions that "all shading languages are very close to C" I would like to mention Futhark as a language that compiles to Spir-V. It is still super experimental and I would never suggest it as a true replacement for a shading language but it atleast puts up for discussion the case that all shading languages forever will be C-clones.
I think the other post above is referring to the version of a Toy Story sequel that was in production down in Burbank at Disney in the early 2000's (after TS2 came out). That production was shut down when Disney and Pixar merged in the mid 2000's.
I mean, Trudeau's father called in the military because a terrorist group kidnapped a government minister and set off multiple bombs. This is pretty small potatoes compared to the FLQ.

We don't have the concept of co-equal branches of government, but the judiciary can declare acts of parliament to violate the charter of rights and freedoms. The Emergencies Act explicitly says it does not supercede any constitutional rights.
Except Trudeau lifting the mandate would not change anything since this is also a requirements by the US for truckers to cross.

But sure, it's all because of Trudeau's ego.

"beginning in early January 2022, DHS will require that all inbound foreign national travelers crossing U.S. land or ferry POEs – whether for essential or non-essential reasons – be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and provide related proof of vaccination. This approach will provide ample time for essential travelers such as truckers, students, and healthcare workers to get vaccinated."

I feel like most people who haven't steeped themselves in the Matlab ecosystem don't fully grok the true impact of Julia on technical computing.
> the "domain" itself may be biased

I agree there. If you grow up in a chaotic country where survival is your main concern, it is less likely you will be involved with creating new technology.

> Eschewing them because "statistics" or "demographics" is, as i said, lazy.

Having fair and unbiased selection on your pool of applicants is not "Eschewing" anyone. I'd say that claim is lazy.

Considering that:

- the vaccines are relatively new and long term effects are unknowable,

- efficacy against the current variant questionable and

- the current variant being mild enough even in unvaccinated populations

it is perfectly reasonable to have a significant percentage of the population to be unvaccinated, just to have a control for long term studies and for backup in case horrible side-effects come up in the long run.

The vaccine makers will try to argue otherwise and try to sell as much as possible, which is why the governments should have made strong commitments to make it strictly optional and prohibited any private attempts to make it mandatory.

Instead, we have seen most world politicians act as if they were completely bought out by the vaccine manufacturers.
A rose drawn only with a cube
Except that something was done to prevent it happening again - the person was almost immediately fired.

The author is arguing that prevention in the interview process would do more harm than good, particularly because there are already processes in place to deal with this issue.

I think the SAT/ACT example is different. With a new hire in a technical field, it would just be so obvious if someone interviewed with a fake.
Also kitty user here, and one thing I really missed about xterm is the ability to "InhibitTite" to disable the second buffer. Use case: I edit a documentation file, find a set of commands I need to run, and exit the editor to run them, and the commands disappear from my screen. xterm has a few options allowing you, as the user, to disable this functionality and just have a single screen.

Most other terminals do not have this option.

So for kitty, I made a small deb package with the kitty terminfo file, which I need anyway unless I use xterm-256color, but I modified the entry to not have the ti/te entries.

Win/win.
Gut feeling is that there are a lot of overlapping features in CSS. With Flexbox & CSS Grid can some things be deprecated?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_of_no_confidence#Canada

> At the federal level, a vote of no confidence is a motion presented by a member of the House of Commons that explicitly states the House has no confidence in the incumbent government.[3] The government may also declare any bill or motion to be a question of confidence.

Major bills like budgets are automatically confidence votes as well. I think you need to get into the parliamentary minutiae to understand when other votes could cause an election.
This is not NOT what was voted on. Vote of motion to have a PLAN without a deadline as to when this theater ends
I don't get it.

This is completely nonsensical, guys like Trudeau or Macron (France) are eroding their power for what looks like petty fights.

I really don't understand what is going on behind the scene.
I'm afraid that in a lot of cases, particularly with dollar-chasers in startups, this involves becoming a different person. Some people are just bad managers.

It doesn't have to be that way, people can learn, but in any particular instance there can be the wrong specific person for any job that involves underlings at that stage of a company's growth, wherever it is.

I'm not just talking about spergy devs getting Peter Principled into supervision, I mean founders/CxOs of any stripe. Extroverts, even! Citizenship and bedside manner can feel like disappearing arts sometimes.
It appears "way more complicated than it needs to be", because I'm a second person with my own perspective, and I don't agree that your being bored of the argument constitutes a logical rebuttal. As I said, if you're bored of the topic, you didn't and don't need to engage with it. Starting an argument and then supporting it with your own disinterest is a very odd tack.

Furthermore you keep referencing this "probable alternative" bogeyman while completely ignoring that my criticism is coming from a place of reform rather than wholesale replacement. It's likely everything sounds like "squawking" to you because you're not listening to the specifics of what anyone says. It's very odd that you want to engage with the topic just enough to reject it. It takes all types, I guess.

To my knowledge, macOS running in an x86 VM works with all iCloud services _except_ iMessage and FaceTime. To get iMessage and FaceTime working, you need to generate a serial number that is in Apple's databases and spoof the virtual machine's serial number.

If the macOS you run in an M1 virtual machine is the same macOS, then why is the same not true? And I suppose I wonder whether the officially-supported ESXi-virtualizing-macOS has iCloud support, and how that works.
