> What does that have to do with its status as a country?

Generally in a country you would expect to find some people (not necessarily the majority) who believe in the idea of that country as an independent, sovereign nation.

Northern Ireland doesn’t have that. The vast majority of people in Northern Ireland want it to either be part of UK or of Ireland, and to the extent an independence movement exists it’s notable only for how incredibly un-popular it is.

Why does it matter? Because if the population of a putative “country” don’t in fact see it as a country but rather as a territory of somewhere else, then the “country” descriptor would appear to have been externally applied.

Not on crates.io, they're pretty adamant about "no scoping" approach to naming.

Scoping does not really solve injecting malicious code into the dependency tree in some update. Scoping is more of a defense against typosquatting via new crates.

You can run your own crate registry if you're particularly concerned over what gets published on crates.io.

Because I own nice headphones that I like to listen with, I like that they never run out, I like that I can plug them between my phone and my computer as I please instead of praying to the fickle bluetooth gods that they will sync.

It's not that I have never owned wireless headphones, in fact I am literally forced against my will to own and use them and am wearing them as I type. They have some convenience, but adding a headphone jack doesn't mean not being able to use bluetooth headphones - I should just be able to use both.
Thanks for sharing that idea.
I'd simply never thought to do this and I'm adopting this in future.

The main drawback is something I do from time-to-time which is nuking and re-creating directories.
Set the size slider to max 5 (6 is not small), set the date slider to min 2020 and there's.. One. From a manufacturer I've never heard of.

There actually are more than one (gsmarena is better for this search), but not many and as far as I can tell none with wide availability or much hope of getting security updates etc far into the future. The best option at the moment seems to be ebaying an old phone that's supported by Lineage and hoping it doesn't die.
This is something most people who have never learnt a foreign language don't get, but usually the fancier the word sounds, the more likely it comes straight from Greek or Latin and to be pretty much the same in your native language.

For example: a native Italian speaker who is not very fluent in English will first think of velocity rather than speed, because speed is velocità in Italian.
I'm confused… Why do they want to support the OAUTH flow when they can just the normal app password flow without any change in their code, just documentation for their users.

Similar to your experience with Blender, Inkscape is a much younger project, but I think from the beginning its UI was better than Gimp.

One thing I've noticed is that I can hear human inhale before they continue speaking. Got curious if tts of the future should have this feature too.
I don't think the problem here is that users can still use app passwords instead of OAuth2 - it's that the developer went through the trouble of developing a OAuth2 implementation, went through the necessary laborious steps to submit the application and then was faced with this message:

> The cost of the assessment typically varies between $10,000 -$75,000 (or more) depending on the size and complexity of the application; smaller applications may see costs at a lower threshold of $4,500

This makes no sense. Heroku have had no competition because nobody has built a better product. They’ve not been starving anyone or anything. Given the biggest and most common complaint most lay against Heroku is that it’s too expensive, if anything the lack of innovation for years has created a huge window for a competitor. And yet here we are. Still.

> ... while removing the option of higher level math classes for advanced students.

... And in what I'm sure is a complete coincidence, the proportion of "very intelligent" or "disharmonic intelligence profile" or "savant syndrome" kids in youth services/youth care has gone up significantly. They now outnumber kids that committed crimes. They make "the Serway" available in Juvie these days, so obviously some very intelligent teenagers are committing crimes these days (probably because education is actually better in Juvie than in Youth Services)

They're replacing advanced placement classes ... with straightjackets and bars.

Social workers probably consider this a good thing too.

AIs can’t have copyright. So it’s not even cheating. They just used tools is all. If the rules say you can’t use an AI (maybe spellcheck, depending how define AI and grammar check would be cheating), then it would be cheating.

That's exactly what I meant when I wrote "...strive to keep the status quo of being way beyond the capabilities of the people".

Monopolizing the means of maximizing the profits to maximize the power - now that's some deep conspiracy territory, indeed.
I know it’s a rhetorical example, but given how stingy the copyright regime is: yes, yes they would. You maybe could manage a 20% off credit for the child’s listening rights.

If we look at many many other mammals it is very clear that there is breeds. And those breeds are noticeably different, just think of cats, dogs, cows, pigs and so on. I really see no reason why this wouldn't extend to humans as well. And that the distinct groups wouldn't have some markers. Like longer than average bones.

Now, issue really is that whole race grouping is extremely murky. And not really anywhere specific enough as used in common speech. White, Black, Asian etc. are way too wide to be very useful. Even inside what we could understand as rather homogenous groups there is lot of difference between areas.

One of the samples even has a breath intake at the same point as the recording. Not sure how they do that (didn’t read the paper) but I first thought it was the recording and compared the two to find the breathing wasn’t quite as natural as an actual person with lungs.
It's a good example of how subtle requirements can be and how unlikely it is you could get them right until people are actually using your software in real life.

Ukraine tried to pick a side by dumping Russia. If they stayed reasonably multi-vectored and out of the discussions to join the EU/NATO, they'd be swimming in Russian money to that day.

"Continue being the region's key supplier of natural gas/oil/etc" is not enough for Russia.
> If the person on camera moves forward or backward very much at all when the lens is at f1.8, they would be pretty blurry.

The mirrorless EOS camera's (R series) have autofocus with face tracking which works quite well. At f1.8 you get 8cm depth of field at 1m distance so you'd have to stop down the aperture to about f4 if you want your whole head to appear sharp on video.
According to Wikipedia, their national rugby team wore black clothes in around 1905 and the team nickname "All Blacks" got popular. Then according to this article, the popularity of the rugby team then has made the color a popular national symbol in general.

At the moment it looks as if there will be no iPhone 14 Mini. You don't explicitely mention "Mini" here, but from context it looks as if you mean that. Just a heads up (and the reason why I bought a 13 Mini even though my old phone was still fine).
Part of this is standard neoliberalism, but parts of it are valid observations:

> The Conservative Party fell out badly with the business establishment over Brexit and has made few attempts to rebuild bridges. In his most recent address to the Confederation of British Industry, Johnson was so ill prepared that he resorted to making car noises and ad-libbing about Peppa Pig.

It's been quite remarkable how the Conservative party have given up on all business policy other than for their few direct donors. Conversely, UK businesses accepted a huge hit from Brexit without really getting politically engaged beyond the occasional statement from individuals.

In re Oxbridge, the author went to Bailliol.

Edit: the article is also right to slate UK journalism for focusing on the wrong things. Evidently you can say that in the US press, whereas the last time I can remember publicised press criticism making a big deal was Peter Oborne leaving the Telegraph on discovering that advertisers were able to spike news. The "Hacked Off" campaign rumbles along in the background.
The most popular car in the US does half the MPG of popular cars in Europe, so petrol has been too cheap; especially when when you consider that the average person in the US drives nearly twice the distance per years compared to people in Europe. Having said that, most people in the US cannot simply reduce how much they drive as towns and cities have designed for cars as the primary mode of transport.

There's an interesting tidbit in this video which I think accurately reveals the top-level monetization strategy that proponents of "Twitter free speech edition" have in mind.

Essentially the thinking is that the limited margins Twitter operates with are in fact partly/largely due to content restriction policies, and that by removing these restrictions, profitability will increase.

That's likely based on two intuition-based (rather than evidence-based) ideas: one, that there is a staffing cost involved in content restriction, and two, that social media competitors which are perceived as having lax-or-ineffective content policies appear to be more profitable.

Twitter themselves likely have the statistics to know for certain, but I'd guess that the staffing costs for content moderation aren't a major overall factor for the business. Their latest earnings report[1] -- in which I think "General and Administrative" probably includes such costs -- would seem to back that up.

Removing content moderation could conceivably "increase engagement" short term (due to fraught and problematic interactions on the platform) and maybe some of that could lead to increased advertising revenue. But advertisers don't like to see their brands associated with problematic environments -- note that as of May 2022, Truth Social has not secured any advertising partners[2][3] -- so it's unclear whether that would convert into revenue, and it would introduce community risk.

I also think that the reason other platforms may be more profitable in terms of revenue-per-user is not due to content moderation or the way that their users interact, but instead due to the granularity of information that the platforms hold about each user. The more they know, the more they can sell to advertisers. I don't like that business model personally, but I do believe that it's a more reasonable explanation for the revenue-per-user differential.

Overall my sense is that the situation seems like a way to create significant gravity to draw in far-right and free-speech advocates in an attempt to topple what has - for all its' faults - generally been a progressive institution.

Open question: perhaps Twitter themselves have already run data science experiments regarding community sustainability and advertising performance in the absence of content moderation? At a distance, in general, the company and board appear more prepared than the folks who are attempting to disrupt or wrestle control of the platform.

The usual way is to add a lot of special case heuristic for it, hope those work, and if they don't then bail out. (Report an error to the developer, so then they can nudge the types a bit an hope to find a setup where one of the heuristics work.)

And it's fine if the error messages are helpful, but this added implicit complexity to the language rightly gives folks the heebie-jeebies (se the recent comments for Rust's GAT patches)
I agree completely. Just look at io_uring and PowerShell, to name some examples.

io_uring totally rethinks the notion of a "syscall". It is going to eat the world, and most of us are not even going to realize that it happened.

PowerShell is a really cool example of re-imagining input and output. Namely, it is record-oriented ("Object") rather than byte-oriented. No more stringing together chains of fragile "awk" commands to make pipelines do what you want. (I know there is prior art here)

If you think OS's are moving still, then you're the one stuck.
From the comments, the AMD Epycs used for comparison were an older generation.

From the newer blog post linked in the comments (https://www.gimp.org/news/2022/02/25/gimp-2-99-10-released/):

> In the below example, I am storing a semantic name for several layers featuring sleeping marmots

My guess? Gimp is a design tool made by developers with some graphic design inclinations. That's why it's weird.

I don't think you'll ever hear <<ANY>> actual, professional designer say "semantic name".
> I will add that the British Govt was lying to the general public in their TV updates

Example? They were certainly systematically understating the risk throughout, and we had several cycles of "everything is fine" -> cases spike -> lockdown.
I’ve come to the belief that the existence of GIMP is doing more harm than good.

The software itself just isn’t anywhere near the feature parity it needs to be. The UI and workflows are just not there for what users are expecting. I can’t suggest someone learn it because it just isn’t going to serve them well in the end.

But because it exists it means someone who would do it better has less incentive to do so.

Not that I consider Photoshop a good image editor anymore, over the past 8 years it’s degraded horribly. So now we just don’t have good image editors.
No matter where and how are you being hired there are 2 key rules:

1. If you have strong negotiation position - just state your expectations and make sure they are really high and satisfy you (do you research)

2. Any other case - never share your expectations until the end of interview process and untilyou know what’s the salary band/level they estimated you. Then negotiate up to max of that band (based on your research, again)
The multipart masks is a good example, another is one or more layers in a group each with styles for adjusting hue/contrast/background-pattern/gradient/border/shadow etc. in a non-destructive way, the introduction of layer styles in combination with good vector support (and smart objects) completely changed how people worked and literally defined how the web looked & functioned for a good few years afterwards (a lot of 'Web 2.0' is just interesting applications of layer styles in Illustrator and Photoshop)

Being able to maintain several 'versions' of the same image just by showing/hiding layer groups while still being able to edit & adjust things fluidly is a crucial feature in Photoshop, with GIMP you end up making copies of copies of copies and if anything needs adjusting or re-composing in the source layers you'll have to go back and perform the same sequence of steps and discard most if not all of the layers you made.

Yes, you have 'make selection from curve' and other tricks in GIMP to maintain your masks as vector data, but it's an awful lot of trouble and is a laborious N step manual process after every change.

Layer styles were basically CSS, for complex raster data, and it works beautifully.
Maybe because the first line on the page you linked reads:

> Tip: App Passwords aren’t recommended and are unnecessary in most cases. To help keep your account secure, use "Sign in with Google" to connect apps to your Google Account.

So, for Google, App Passwords are clearly "second class citizens", deemed insecure and not recommended. And, as an app developer, you probably don't want to be seen as recommending an insecure authentication method?
Just use git-gui
That's a really valid point, like making robots blink.
The only small advantage I can think of is that the filesystem knows which parts of the drive are being used, so it will not try to recover stale/unused blocks. Same goes for writing - dm-integrity needs to initialise the whole drive and update every single write, but the fs can issue some big TRIMs instead. (Or does integrity know how to trim these days? (Apparently it depends on the usage mode https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/device-ma...))

Another comment already mentioned the `.git/info/exclude` directory.
For completeness link to the online docs: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore

git will take 3 files into consideration for "ignoring" files:

> $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore, $GIT_DIR/info/exclude, .gitignore

How I use them:

* ~/.gitignore: stuff I want to ignore everywhere (`/myNotes`, `.DS_STORE`, ...)

* <project>/.gitignore: stuff that should be ignore for this projects and shared with others

* <project>/.git/info/exclude; stuff for this project that only I want to ignore

** this is also super useful in combination with `git-bisect`
As far as I can gather, some people supporting reunification have adopted the Palestinian flag because they see Palestinians as "brothers in spirit" (i.e. seeing themselves as victims of an occupying government seeking to erase their national and cultural identity while they struggle for liberation, or something to that effect).

And through a very obvious but also very weird leap of logic, some of those opposing them have adopted the flag of Israel as a symbol of their opposition.

And from that point on they probably just went wild and added other unionist symbols to the flag because running around with regular Israeli flags felt weird or something.

EDIT: Someone linked a YouTube clip of a comedia making light of the flag situation that has apparently escalated to the point of the Italian flag being used as a symbol of resistance because someone saw an Italian flag in a Northern Irish school and got upset mistaking it for the Irish one.

That's probably the biggest parallel to Palestine I can find given that flag drama in Palestine has escalated to the point where watermelons have become a resistance symbol because of the similarity of its colors to the Palestinian flag, which is banned by Israeli police.
This seems like it could potentially be a source of confusion - different devs on the same project would see different ignore behavior.
Having it stable in mainline in 3-4 would also be a big achievement. The filesystem part in Linux is kind of stagnating:

* ZFS will forever be problematic because of licensing reasons
* BTRFS stability is widely untrusted after their problems many years ago
* ext4 and xfs don't have data checksumming
* To get the same benefits of ZFS you currently need to stack a lot of device mapper plugins
