There's a java app on sourceforge called Pixelitor. It might be worth a try.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pixelitor/

It didn't run here in OpenJDK due to class versions, maybe Oracle Java is best.

Good alternative or not depends on what your needs are though, good luck.

This is just "But think of the farmers!!!".

Across the US, farmers are not poor. By dint of being landowners, they are in fact some of the richest people around. See, e.g., this article: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/09/trump-amer... or this one: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/14/opinion/sunday/rich-happi....

I think the thing that baffles me here is that based on the basic math - 180 minutes, 6000 orders per minute, $15 credit per order - this would seem to be a ~$16M promotion. That's, like, two or three Superbowl ads. For, what? To create chaos? To sow distrust that GrubHub can complete orders? It seems very unlikely here that more people will be delighted by the promotion than frustrated.

My current company literally uses the same slide deck - stolen directly from Netflix - and failed to mention that the professional sports team they're run like is the Sacramento Kings or the Detroit Lions. More realistically, given the lack of cuts to the bottom rung of talent (and those with a complete lack thereof) and the lack of promotion to those with talent in spades: they're running it like a JV soccer team. Not saying Netflix isn't cutthroat, but it's entirely possible to call this out and then also have layoffs be big news.

Extra funding has been provided to Abbott districts in New Jersey for decades, and these largely black districts are better funded than the districts in the wealthiest (and whitest) parts of the state. In spite of this, the performance gap has increased between Abbott and non-Abbott districts.

Also I don't think the word "explicitly" (or "racist," or both) means what you think it means.

> Does anyone actually claim that Northern Ireland is a country?

It is standard UK government terminology to call it a "constituent country". To just give one random example – https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/eat-out-to-help-out... – HRMC statistics updated in February this year speak of "Four constituent countries within the UK"

> independence (as opposed to unionism or Irish reunification) is not very popular unlike in Scotland or Wales

I don't think the term "country" for the primary first-level subdivisions of the UK necessarily has anything to do with independence. The term has been used that way for decades, including back in the days when Scottish or Welsh independence were rather fringe positions. It is still used today by many people who oppose the Scottish and Welsh independence movements. So the fact that Northern Ireland independence has very few advocates, is not in itself an argument against Northern Ireland being a "constituent country".

> The UK claims it as a province

Calling it a "province" is controversial. Ireland is traditionally divided into four provinces; Northern Ireland is the six eastern counties of the Province of Ulster, but its three western counties are part of the Republic. Unionist sources often like to identify Northern Ireland with the Province of Ulster; nationalists view this conflation as inaccurate, disrespectful, and politically biased. Due to both the arguments that the term is technically incorrect, and the desire not to inflame the nationalist community, the UK government generally avoids the term "province" for Northern Ireland. Nationalists obviously aren't big fans of the term "country" either, but it is not as strongly associated with the unionist viewpoint as "province" is, so they don't find it as upsetting.

Officially, the UK does not claim "Northern Ireland" to be a "province". I'm not sure if, officially speaking, the UK claims "Northern Ireland" to be anything at all, other than "Northern Ireland", and theirs. Even the original Act of the UK Parliament creating it (Government of Ireland Act 1920) never explicitly said what kind of things the two entities it was attempting to create ("Northern Ireland" and "Southern Ireland") actually were. I believe that was intentional, to try to maximise the chances of the Act being accepted by competing viewpoints (an intention which largely failed to be achieved, but its authors tried.)

Similarly, the Good Friday Agreement never states what "Northern Ireland" actually is. Any answer to that question is likely to upset somebody, so both the UK and Irish governments have decided to avoid all that potential upset by avoiding endorsing any official answer to the question.

I thought "Ireland" refers to the island as a whole and "Republic of Ireland" is the non UK part.

By this definition, Northern Ireland is part of Ireland and the inhabitants are still called Irish. I don't know a ton of Irish people but I think I've heard them say it like that too? On the other hand, there seem to also be contexts where "Ireland" is shorthand for "Republic of Ireland".
Gimp is open source. Don't get me wrong, I love users and am very grateful for feedback. But how they can continue to make noise over a feature for over a decade without learning to code and implement it themselves or, you know, just hire developers to do it for them is beyond me. As far as I can see, this is not wanting a feature, but "wanting" a feature.
I have a geothermal heat pump. I am not in the US (3 phase 400V electricity is common here). I'd suppose nowadays they should be pretty standard. Some heat pumps also work both ways, e.g. they can heat and cool.

As an extra benefit the heat pumps have lower maintenance, risk.
They are proper alternatives though? Am I understanding that you think they aren't?

That is a pretty awesome flag. When NZ had its flag referendum I was really in favour of a black flag, but apparently it could've looked too similar to ISIS.

That was in reference to the "silver fern frond on black" that a lot of our sports teams use, but my personal favourite was the Black Jack: https://i.redd.it/28dhw1vj06c61.jpg

I loved how the Union Jack now included Māori motifs, and the Southern Cross was on the angle it's usually seen at.

(Although I found the white stars jarring, as it looks like the Australian Southern Cross, although their's is more astronomically correct, as it has Epsilon Crucis also)

Israeli-occupied Palestine doesn't have a flag either. Neither does Russian-occupied Ukraine. So why would British-occupied Ireland have a flag?

My parents put my younger sister in Catholic school because they had in person instruction while public schools had remote learning for a full 2 years after they made this decision. Because of this, my sister is roughly 2 years ahead of her public school peers in terms of social development, and learning as well, because it turns out remote learning is pretty terrible. It was a great investment.
Doe Invests Half a Billion to De-Risk Cheaper Energy Storage
Ideas for Clojure Network Eval API
There were, in the distant past, more inventions with immediate uses than today, but most of them also had some pretty horrendous effects that took generations to refine.

I wouldn't be surprised if the transition to farming and the use of fire and all the rest had lots of things we would prefer to avoid if we had present day values and information.

Some things had some immediate use but nowhere near what they have now. The internet was an amazing innovation. But it would just be some military research lab experiments without users, and most webmasters just followed a "How to set up apache" tutorial. Some created something new via their content. Others told stories grounded in heavy academic research.

Drugs and medical products have killed amazing numbers of people, and require massive amounts of tests and calculations to show safety. We even STILL get it wrong sometimes, which means we probably need even more boring tedious data analysis, and probably eventually AI support for doctors.

My favorite example is the industrial revolution. It hurt a lot of people, made a lot of pollution, and there's not much from that era I'd want to use. But over time, the things they invented were refined and recombined, along with some new stuff too, into things that are hundreds of times cheaper, lighter, and smaller.

Light bulbs had a lot of uses. They also were used to mess with work schedules and add more hours. They used a ton of energy. We fixed that with automation and a better understanding of benefits of shorter hours, along with tech like LEDs.

So many inventions seem to initially be used to create new needs that didn't exist before, and add new demands on people, and to make use of new resources that were originally idle for things that we were mostly fine without. Eventually they get refined into something that doesn't really impose any extra burden, and then finally they can be refined to something that minimizes pollution. Eventually we can even replace them entirely with newer tech that has the same benefits.

I can't argue with the problem of people not really reading the article though. Sometimes it seema like 99% of threads on all sites are tangentially related philosophy discussions that only loosely referenced the original article.

Some context that's missed in the title. "Plunging enrollment" and a "seismic hit" is their way of describing an overall 2% decline in enrollment. The article states that there are around 50 million students in the US public education system, and total enrollment has declined by 1.2 million. The article also provides very little in the way of non-anecdotal data. Digging through the article we get:

- Big declines: California, Denver, Albuquerque, Oakland

- Increases: Florida, "rural resort areas" (which have seen "surging enrollment"), private schools.

Given we're talking about a 2% decline, and the sort of places we're seeing declines in contrasted against where we're seeing gains, I think there's an explanation here that is so obvious that it goes without stating. Oddly enough that explanation is entirely ignored by the article.

My perception of US public schools has shifted radically over the past 10 years, and especially in the past couple of years. It had nothing to do with COVID except insomuch as COVID may have facilitated greater awareness of the educational curriculum.
I'd like a smaller phone too, but with a bigger battery.

If I browse the web in the, I cannot use my phone to buy my train ticket as you have to show the QR code and 4G is killing the battery really quickly.

My current phone is a one plus 5T and the new phone could have 3cm less in height and 1 in width while being 4 time thicker. Ideally I'd like addon battery to come back, you remember those nokia 3310 with the added huge battery? I want that. Now I have an external battery, but I need a cable and it's not that practical.

As a more general comment, I'd like "design" to be less important. I don't care if my phone is a dumb cube like shape. I want function.

This is the utmost in asshole behavior. Netlify used to do this in their CLI until I made them stop.

Desalination is quite expensive, but some plants are operating and more are planned. Agricultural customers will probably not use desalination because of costs; it's more economical to plant their fields with signs decrying the 'congress created dustbowl' (at least for the highway adjacent signs); and residential customers likely increase conservation efforts, but it's an option (and if Wikipedia is correct, it tends to be less expensive than importing water from nearby agencies). Determining where to build the plants and environmental review, and the size of the projects make it a lengthy process, and there are often other project options which could be less costly and may be synergistic with other government efforts; for example expanding wastewater reclamation can meet sewage treatment goals and reduce potable water needs or excess reclaimed water can be directed towards aquifer recharging.
I suggest you look at how people perceive your value.
They obviously see you as being more valuable as being a manager than an IC.

I would look at how your 'brand' comes over and work on making sure people see the value you bring as an expert IC outweighs that of being a manager.

The more you increase your value as an IC the more costly it becomes to use you as a manager.
Then you can look for a job that understands that.

I hope this helps

It's a little weird that we're impressed when a relatively tiny book can be stored in the cloud and synced to every device. I get the same feeling from Google Play Books or iBooks. Yet this is a standard feature of [insert name of every cloud storage service ever] and I don't think that much of it at all in those contexts, except maybe when iCloud or OneDrive or Dropbox seems to magically put files on my desktop.

I wonder if the difference is that with the exception of comic books (sigh), most ebooks are small enough that they download quickly, yet have good metadata and often excellent cover art, so they replicate quickly. And they rarely get buried inside of unnecessary folders the way other files do.

It'd be pretty awesome if say, you could visit Humble Bundle and after buying a DRM-free collection of ebooks, just hit a button to transfer the entire bundle to a Google Drive folder or iCloud Drive folder without having to download and upload things. That's still maybe a missing thing. But it's not terrible to have to send files manually. It's just extra work. (How lazy can I get, apparently?)

"#1: Developers don't necessarily know how to be productive developers.

#2: Developers might not be motivated to improve their productivity.

Hence, it's not necessarily an efficient market."

Has been my experience lately in thinking about this problem. Those who are productive generally know how to be productive and _want_ to improve their productivity. Many have the motivation but don't know how, and many others are hampered by external factors that limit motivation, or don't care.
