Hello mdasen,
Thanks for your input. Self-hosting is pretty much what the owner (Jan Labanowski) has been doing so far, with all the accompanying problems noted by yourself and kxrm. I'm just a long-time CCL.net subscriber and not the owner. As my post here mentions, I'll grab the content of this thread in a while and repost back to the CCL.net mailing list.
Article says mirrorless has basically replaced DSLR, but latest figures actually show SLR sales are up and mirrorless is down.
If you try to rephrase something you don't understand you will eventually drop a massive clanger that any teacher who actually reads your work will notice. Once you get into enough detail, the easiest way to pretend to understand the material is to actually understand it.
This might be a case of familiarity blindness; people working on GIMP might have come to implicitly assume that destructive editing is a feature, but in reality destructive editing is something only done for resource constraints, not because it's actually good. That's why non-destructive editors essentially never grow destructive features, while most destructive editors tend to grow and expand their non-destructive features.

If you want to argue this from first principles, it's actually very easy: One of the first principles of UX is to respect the user's work. Destructive editing is pretty bad at that. qed.
Atrociously bad by what metric? I was born and raised in Florida, as was my wife. We are both frequently impressed by how advanced our kids are, scholastically speaking, compared to where we were at that age in Florida.

Edit: We now live in California and our kids have only attended (public) school in California.

"The application requires a Java Runtime Environment 8".

Plus a lot of interesting things aren't mentioned in terminfo - bracketed paste, cursor shaping, synchronized output, ...

And even truecolor was added to it about 10 years after terminals started gaining support.

And many terminals just claim to be "xterm-256color".

>2) try them and have graceful degradation if they're not supported

Note: There are many cases where degradation isn't graceful. Many terminals on windows currently spew garbage on your screen if you send bracketed paste (alacritty, for instance).

>1) probe for those features by asking the terminal, which some terminals support

This requires waiting for a reply, which often isn't useful. E.g. if you want synchronized output, you want it from the very first paint (because that's when the terminal is most likely to still be resized, e.g. by a tiling window manager). So you would have to delay your startup until you've either gotten a reply or "enough" time has passed that you believe it's not supported.

Frankly, this is all a big mess and terminfo isn't very helpful, but we don't have a good alternative either.
Thank you very much. This is what I was looking for.
It's really hard to admit to ourselves that modern technology, especially knowledge of the human body, sits atop ethically disturbing science, like IIRC the Nazi research in concentration camps, like prisoners being left to freeze to death, was crucial in understanding how we'd survive in high altitude and space.

Or take the experiments the Japanese did on prisoners in WW2; a hard question to ask ourselves is how far ahead these moments have pushed our understanding of the world, when a more cautious approach might have taken much longer or simply not have been enough.

I think that life is more important than any scientific experiment, but I wonder how limited our knowledge would be today were it not for those people and animals tortured to death. Would the space race have started decades later?
> Kobo's firmware is very open, although it's technical enough that your average (non-developer) end-user would have trouble modifying

That's good to hear. I have no problem with a device vendor focusing on just making sure their device works well, as long as they're not trying to close it off and actively working against external developers. I'd heard stuff like Kindle blows physical fuses so that one can't install older firmware and stuff like that so they actively prevent users from having control of their device. I have no desire to be a customer of such types of vendors.
What's stopping GIMP from doing the same thing? It has more access to the network than your browser.
> But how this feature can be ignored after people have been begging for it for over a decade now is beyond me.

Because begging for something which ordinarily is very expensive to be done for you for nothing is a meritless activity. An infinity of begging pays for not a single second of developer time.

It is likewise useless to suggest people would use it for free if only a few more million dollars worth of developer time was invested by other people. This isn't an offer of a favor. It's more like me saying that I would gladly come and stay in your guest room if you would only serve me coffee and donuts.
They are simply ci/cd templates for building specific types of projects. If you turn autodevops on, then it will apply the template based on files found in the repo. Like a less opinionated Heroku that can deploy to your own k8s cluster.

I have never really had a project generic enough that autodevops would work. But I think I did at one point copy one of their templates as a basis for my own gitlab-ci.yaml file.

I think it also handles automatically configuring some things that you can't configure in your ci files, like prometheus monitoring.

This is a common conception. Netflix's option plan is extremely generous. Per this link (https://www.teamblind.com/post/Netflix-is-a-truly-great-comp...), a Netflix employ would lose monly only if its stock price always goes down: "Netflix is generous in giving you options. Its option plan was the best in the world. It allows you to forfeit your salary for options. The options had 5X of discount, and later 2.5 times. The company also gave you for free options that is worth 5% of your total salary. Your options vest every month. And of course, the options will not expire until 10 years later. That is, Netflix does NOT even tries to use delayed vesting schedule to retain you. "

Gotta be real, Gimp's not that far off from just one guy (https://github.com/GNOME/gimp/graphs/contributors)

We all assume there's a vast army of dedicated people behind these things. Most people do just a tiny bit and don't stick around.

The reality is the core ranks are thin and the troops are exhausted. If you've got the time, they could use a hand (this is for all open source projects)

They people behind them are also usually effectively invisible when compared to the effort they put in so if you're thin on time, hunting down an email to send a sincere personal thank you would really make their day.

Most coastal communities in southern California don't even bother to reservoir off their water during rain events, instead letting it drain into the ocean. One major exception being Santa Monica which only uses 40% of it's water from up north unlike other communities which are 100% reliant on it.

Back of the envelope math suggests that based on average rainfall amounts per year a place like Ventura county could be entirely self-sufficient without any desalination plants.

Agriculture can also switch to drip feeding water instead of spraying which cuts usage by 90% without lowering yields.

There's a lot that can be done. We just need the political will to make it happen.

Having extra reservoirs can also support more natural vegetation and potentially actually create conditions for more rainfall further from the coast.
Perhaps. There is an obvious centralizing security play in markets like IOT devices ("The 'S' in IOT stands for 'Security'").

That said, just as with other Open Source™ efforts by Google, there is potentially a lot of value that would be unlocked to others' benefit with no obligation to Google (other than the usual "respect trademarks"), etc., just as there is with Android and Chromium,
So pre windfall market cap is 1 mil.

Say windfall is 1 mil.

Post windfall market cap is 2 mil. (1 mil for company + 1 mil in cash)

Company buys 500 shares at 2,000. So the company is now worth 1 mil again but there are 500 shares. 1 mil / 500 shares is 2k per share.

> if a team member was leaving for a similar role at another company, would the manager try to keep them?

Is this person good enough, so you would try to prevent their growth when they feel like change is needed? Are they good enough so that you would fight for them to stay even after they expressed the wish to move to another team?

To be entirely honest, most (not all but most) of people that moved from one stable team to another within the same company were happy with that. Sometimes it is not so, but in most cases.
To me the human voice samples have a bit of NPR in them, compared to the TTS.

Funding and proper use of funds, educator salaries, and a few other things should certainly be looked at. You can take your kids out of public school if you have the means, but they will be working with / living around people that went to public schools. I think the public school system needs better funding / resources and should be supported.
> when the socially optimal

Technically Pareto optimal. Pareto optimal points are not necessarily socially optimal.

I'm not familiar with the Ooma service or their devices, but if they're more or less using branded devices to do SIP, like Vonage and MagicJack and many others, while technically they could listen to the disconnected line, call audio isn't connected until after the phone is picked up on an incoming call or after the call is dialed on an outgoing call (dial tone is generated by the device at your home).

Like retrac said, a POTS phone is expected to disconnect the audio equipment when it's on the hook. That said, I had a particularly low quality phone growing up that didn't fully disconnect, and you could barely hear a conversation or, more usefully, call waiting beeps while the hook switch was closed, so it's possible the microphone may have been mildly connected or anyway speakers are also poorly tuned microphones, so maybe you could get something. I'd guess nothing salvageable after it went through a voip codec though, although maybe you could get an occupancy signal.

"Ireland" is the official name of the country as per it's constitution.
The "Republic of Ireland" is a description of the country given its status as a republic, and has been commonly mistaken as the name of the country due to editorial choices by some UK media.

Even Wikipedia erroneously catalogues "Ireland" under "Republic of Ireland".
An untyped lisp does not check the entire code base for usages of the thing you are editing though. I agree that for exploring local behaviour a REPL is fantastic.

Firewalls.
Apparently in Windows there are generic drivers and then there are "minidrivers" such as https://www.cardlogix.com/glossary/minidriver-card/ or https://www.yubico.com/support/download/smart-card-drivers-t... that I guess provide more direct or faster functionality?

Even on Linux, OpenSC software apparently supports drivers, such as the generic CCID driver as well as more specific drivers.

The generic spec that both Microsoft and the CCID driver support appears to be https://www.usb.org/document-library/smart-card-ccid-version... from 2005. I imagine the tech hasn't changed that much to need custom drivers, so I'm not sure why they exist, except maybe to do firmware updates or something unusual.

https://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.com/2022/04/30-shades-of-pc... and other such sources seem to indicate that most of this is pretty standard? If you want to write code that uses smart cards, I mean.

That said, if I were doing a from-scratch authentication implementation today, I'd probably pick something like biometrics via FIDO2 instead of smart cards...

Slap a badly-designed coat-of-arms on a piece of cloth, then add the name of the entity right above it because the coat-of-arms is obscure and no-one would recognize it (which is the main function of both flags and coat of arms). A flag like that just screams "the entity I represent has no right to exist, we'd be much happier as a British/French/Spanish/German/Burkina-Fasoan colony"
This seems a poor article for not mentioning the St Patrick’s Cross - one of the flags “making up” the Union Flag / Union Jack, representing Ireland. It’s contentious, but arguably significantly less so than the Ulster Banner.

Your primary point is about the metrics for free services. They obviously cant be compared 1:1 to services that charge any commission. We agree about that.

There are many people that feel like their data should be valuable, so that sentiment allows for us to relate to Meta and Robinhood’s “take-rate” being 100%, because they arent giving us a cut of the data. That slidedeck was merely hopping on that sentiment.

They pretty much are. Terminals implement CTRL keyboard shortcuts as `c ^ 0100` and ALT works by prefixing '\e'. Stuff like arrow keys encode using VT100 codes. Those are three very simple rule that everyone knows.

$ wget https://justine.lol/ttyinfo.com
$ chmod +x ttyinfo.com
$ ./ttyinfo.com
"\001" is CTRL-A a.k.a. ^A
"\000" is CTRL-@ a.k.a. ^@
"\002" is CTRL-B a.k.a. ^B
"\f" is CTRL-L a.k.a. ^L
"\r" is CTRL-M a.k.a. ^M
"\033\001" is ALT-CTRL-A
"\033[A" is UP
"\033\033[A" is ALT-UP

Unfortunately it still leaves much to be desired. For example, have you ever wanted to have CTRL-ENTER as a keyboard shortcut in your terminal? Sadly you can't, because chr(ord('\r') ^ 0100) encodes as 'M'. Another issue is it's not possible to encode CTRL+[ as a keyboard shortcut, because it overlaps with \e a.k.a. 033 a.k.a. ASCII ESC. So if you type that shortcut, it'll cause your terminal to hang for a second.

It'd be great if the standard bodies could promulgate some kind of well-defined solution to this problem. Having read the ECMA standards documents, I think they really could be doing more to focus on the people who use it for terminals!
Pretty sure it doesn't apply to you.

"G Suite" was an office suite for businesses. Started more than a decade ago. Supported @company.com email addresses, an administrator account to manage up to 10 other company accounts, some access control settings, paid plans for more storage, and so on.

They renamed it to "Google Workspace" recently and those who had signed up when it was "G Suite" became legacy G Suite users.

I have both regular gmail accounts and a "G Suite" domain. Everybody gets the same Gmail, Drive, Docs, etc. "G Suite" accounts just see a few different settings and permissions.

Sure, use a top US tech company with a random UK company as your example, also prices are not in line with market rates. I earned twice as much in a £1M/yr revenue small company.

That said, the price comparison between US and Europe is always ignoring the myriad of economic difference between the two places, and in this case whether you're working for wankers that only care about their dream team or where you're treated like a decent human being and not a human resource.

All of our fresh water comes from evaporation and precipitation. I'm curious if there have been attempts to increase evaporation as a means of producing water in areas with excess solar energy.

I know industrial plants use reverse osmosis, but is there somewhere experimenting with creating structures to encourage evaporation and then capturing the water vapor at scale? (Passively, I mean. I know we can just boil water at scale with expensive industrial systems.)

The problem I see is that intelligence is at large innate, someone with a 110 IQ bracket can't realisticly retest at an IQ of 140 unless you're training purely on IQ tests. This puts a severe upper bound on what anyone can 'solve trough education' as someone with a first tested IQ of 140 requires zero education to achieve a retest of 140 AND has the ability train or educate themselves even further. The IQ test itself is as real of a problem someone can solve as any other hypothetical problem. So if you choose to define intelligence by education, then you're still selecting for innate intelligence plus someones work ethic. Which to me is silly because the education system itself already selects for that and IQ tests are carefully designed for innateness which is why retests or learning for an IQ test bars you from a valid score. I'm sure Intelligence is somewhere inbetween but we can barely solve for one variable at a time.

That last part is all that matters. It's not "just IRC", like many HNers claim. It is the most advanced evolution of IRC currently available. People use it because it can do anything they want and more, all in one very convenient package. Nobody cares about externalities like who owns it and what data it collects. It works - extremely well. And it's free!

It was saying "rephrasing, synthesizing and summarising your source material", which is very different than just sentence manipulation. In order to synthesize and summarize you need to understand the material.
