Maybe its just me, and my appalachian view here: but if the west is so dry, and getting worse, why isnt California, Washington, and Oregon running massive desalination plants with solar or nuclear, and start the water flowing at a massive scale? The water rights show just how dire this is. The need is definitely there. Why's that not happening like 10y ago?

Of course, it's also probably a bad idea to plant water-thirsty stuff in a desert too. You plant what the climate and area supports.

Do you have a sample image from that camera? I bought a similar board, same sensor, with the intent of attaching a nicer lens to it, but quality is dogshit. Absolutely horrendous, like a Nokia phone from 2001.
Why post this kind of thing on an announcement though...I mean it seems pretty harsh, if not rude.

If you can't get traction and it's really objectively that big of an issue, a separate post seems more appropriate.

I taught Photoshop at the college level prior to 2010, offered experienced PS students extra credit to try out and evaluate software like GIMP, and many of them thanked me for the experience and went on to use it in their professional life. Those who didn't want to take the PS route seemed more than happy to duplicate layers as backups and work destructively a lot of the time, too. We focused on pixel editing logic quite a bit so maybe that's why.
Thank you! I'd be very interested to see that. I've had a couple of fun Sundays now. I'm looking forward to the next pieces- but moving the logic to the gpu (either by shaders or GPGPU) has not been something I've been planning to do.

Netflix Announces Redundancies
A standard PSTN phone disconnects the microphone/speaker from the telephone circuit when on the hook. Originally, a switch pushed open by the handset in its cradle.

In practice it would not be possible with just about any phone. Might as well be unplugged. But I wouldn't say guaranteed for all models. Too many ways to design a phone. It's not too hard to design an electronic switch to disconnect from the circuit that would have some faint crosstalk imposing an AC signal on the line even when it's supposed to be an "open circuit". Probably easier than designing one that truly eliminates it, especially back in the day.

I'd like to revisit a classic CGP Gray video for talking points on this subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vsCAM17O-M

What roles does (Public) Education fulfill in society and to parents?

* A free society and elected government function best when the people who make decisions about the future of that society are properly educated and capable of high level decision making. Public Schools and Education are generally critical (decades to forever) health factors in such societies.

* Better educated laborers are able to further the knowledge of intelligent life, and make better things possible.

The video talks about how education has traditionally generally worked, how educational videos can be the basis for learning a subject, and how an AI can feed that to students as a personal "Digital Aristotle for Everyone".

'... I doubt that schools will go away. After all, they aren't just about learning but also freeing parents to work in the economy, while their feral children are are turned into civilized adults. Schools will be radically different, and there will be far fewer teachers working in them doing far less. While that's not great news for teachers, it is awesome news for students and society.' -- paraphrased a little, CGP Gray in the linked video.

* Free parents to work in the economy. I'll extend this with anecdotal evidence from relatives during the pandemic. It generally gives parents and kids a break from each other so they don't go mutually insane and so that both can progress forward with things they need to accomplish in work and life.

* Raise children to be adults. Schools can also serve as a baseline for being a model citizen. I'd really like for them to elevate from my childhood experience: thinly disguised prison babysitting warehouses that happened to pass time with education that never finishes a 20 year old textbook intended to be accomplished over a semester, with the same history and social subjects repeated ad-nauseam because different schools combined and people moved or never completed a course level.

* Teach people to work together. Schools _tried_ to do this, but never had the human resources to do it properly. A re-structured system where everyone is completing their own knowledge tracts at their own pace, but gets to work together on long term projects, as if it were a mini job. APPLIED science, technology, engineering, math; and even geography and history. Provide a historic context, teach how we understood the technology and society worked at the time, give the kids actual jobs and guidance in the planning. Maybe have them also grow some crops in a greenhouse with similar conditions over the year. Really inter-mesh and wave everything together. Combine that teaching AI for subjects and "teachers" / babysitters as the historic boss figures the kids have to give reports to and get orders from. We'll know school's been done right when 10 year olds think it's FUN to toss their school work at a spreadsheet or database the same way Eve Online and Factorio addicts do.

One way to do address this is - to be explicit about the flakiness of the work by marking it as a spike story[1]

Hold on, that is not the same thing "rephrasing, synthesizing and summarising your source material" (your words) is not plagiarism and is an important skill and if the source is appropriately given is not plagiarism. Still you are correct plagiarism education is often very bad.
I agree that it feels a bit harsh. I feel a bit guilty.

But "silent mouths don't get fed". And I think I am speaking for a large number of users. And it's been over ten years now. So the voice of users might become a bit louder? I dunno. I read through all the features in the announcement and think "I don't need any of that. Who asked for all these things? Are they really user driven?".
I now find myself using Photopea more than GIMP. Photopea is a browser-based photoshop clone. From what I understand it was built by just one guy, and it is in some ways better than GIMP. Pretty amazing work.

Also not just ECMA. The standard was ratified by ANSI X3.64-1979, ISO/IEC 6429, and FIPS-86 in addition to ECMA-48. The whole civilized world wants these codes (e.g. \033[A for UP) to be a standard.

Alexandria was strongly anti-copyright. Not that copyright existed, but they allegedly forced visitors to donate copies of any books they had to the library (scribes copied them and gave back the copies).

As of last year, someone on reddit determined that l--g-- had 2.7 TB of fiction and 40 TB of nonfiction, and double that size of scientific articles and magazines.

It's missing a fair amount of books, which would make the true total size larger, but it also has a lot of duplicates and scans that are unnecessarily large compared to true ebooks, which would make the true total size smaller.

> No overriding explanation has emerged yet for the widespread drop-off. But experts point to two potential causes: Some parents became so fed up with remote instruction or mask mandates that they started home-schooling their children or sending them to private or parochial schools that largely remained open during the pandemic. And other families were thrown into such turmoil by pandemic-related job losses, homelessness and school closures that their children simply dropped out.

That may be part of it, but has anyone been to a school board meeting this year? It’s been obvious what’s happening, and everyone I know IRL knows what’s going on. Everyone I know with kids is split on ideological grounds, but about half moved to home schooling.

Basically, the theme is parents want to assert their rights over their children. The state and school appears (to some) to be overstepping and attempting to take parental rights.

There are three factors claimed by the homeschooling crowd.

It's the same thing with a different marketing emphasis. Although increasingly they appear to be heading down the same policy dead ends as Post Keynesianism, simply to try to appeal to the Democratic Party.

You won't find any MMT proposal that proposes changing taxes to control inflation, because that doesn't work any more than changing interest rates does. You don't want humans involved in the stabilisation system - it has to be done by the automatic stabilisers, and on the spend side.

Taxes are set based upon fiscal policy goals which are, or should be, indifferent to the business cycle.

The analysis within MMT comes from an understanding that we control inflation via a buffer stock of human labour, and that government sets the price of currency when it spends.
They need to have a "Max in-production number or orders". That should be set per restaurant with some default.
As someone who's shopped for apartments in NYC for years, I can tell you that yes, many buildings are unfinanceable if > N% of units are rentals. However, many/most loans in NYC aren't traditional loans because they're greater than the FHA limits ($600k I think?)

If this is true you should really get those users to give you objective evidence that 1) they exist and 2) they feel this urgent about it then, at the very least

Edit: Probably not in the form of HN search results though? Lol come on, a bit of a quality issue there if we're going for objectivity.

GIMP devs have been hammered by highly subjective UX & feature critics for decades now. They are humans and know they'd be doing work on behalf of people who seem complainy, persistent, and lacking perspective compared to their own priority view. So, software Karens? :-) Where's the carrot? How is this issue supposed to turn out well for anyone involved?

If it's really objective and a big deal and not just subjective annoyance compounded by years of boundaries set in your path, show the proof and be convincing about it. And this may seem a stretch but I think it can be done gently if you will it.
This is the single biggest problem with Gimp.

As long as it is missing, you have to duplicate layers and do some mental version control, which becomes really memory intensive after you have descended the tree a few steps. That's why you cannot really recommend Gimp to anyone, who wants to work professionally with it.

It is also a reason why Gimp cannot get better at Photoshop compatibility, so the issue even blocks the second biggest reason hindering further Gimp adoption.

They also have to go on a "performance management plan" where the employer has to make an effort to help them address any performance issues. There also needs to be very clear documentation of said issues, and how everyone is addressing them. The performance expectations also need to be documented AND reasonable in comparison to the industry, the company, the pay scale, and other similar roles elsewhere.

Unfair dismissal cases are surprisingly common in AU, although not often talked about. They can get VERY expensive especially for higher-paying roles.

I haven't read the whole thread, so maybe I am just repeating a point someone else made.

I draw as a hobby; during the pandemic, lots of people started hosting art posing sessions over Zoom (here is an example of one of my sessions, model was in Mexico - I live in Europe: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb8WpdEAsOk/?utm_source=ig_web_c...) so I was interested in this article because it looked like something that could make a difference for some of the studios/models I worked with.

Well... it is not really practical. Models do not have large budgets for a start, and are not necessarily tech savvy enough to put together something like this or make it work reliably.

Some places do combined live/online sessions (artists are in the room with the model and there is also a camera for people drawing remotely). I sincerely doubt that this would be of use even for studios.

I believe that online modeling could be a valid use case, but the cost/hassle ratio makes it absolutely impractical for anyone who could be even remotely interested in something like this.

In other words: as the article itself mentions at the start "The market for decent quality webcams seems to be non-existent". Just like "build your AV".
It may be an interesting project for a blog post, but it is really improbable that anyone else would try to replicate the endeavor.

It's astonishing how hard "modern" PL find it to implement parametric polymorphism. Java got it wrong and C# did at least have a hard time. I don't want to talk about what C++ did. Go needed years for that feature and now has problems with type constraints (I am not a go expert, though. Maybe these constraints aren't related to their generics?). So far, Rust seems to have gotten it right by essentially copying Haskell.

Is it pride that let's "industry" languages ignore decades of PL theory and research? The "design by committee" problem? Or something else entirely?
> on average their outcomes are worse than the alternatives.

Very much not true.

The worst alternative by far are online charter schools

"We found that students who switched to virtual charter schools experienced large, negative effects on mathematics and English/language arts achievement that persisted over time and that these effects could not be explained by observed teacher or classroom characteristics" - https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.3102/0013189X2090981...
