There is still work to do to make Slint's accessibility support great, but this is an important first step: It validates the ideas we had to make Slint UIs accessible and puts a lot of infrastructure into place.

So Widgets can now have `accessible-*` properties that the compiler knows how to handle. Those properties are available at runtime and one of our backends does work with them and forwards them to the OS-specific accessibility backend for actual interaction with screen readers, braille-terminals or whatever is needed.
We decided to use the Qt backend in this phase: That covers the major desktop platforms with one implementation. We can add different/more backends going forward, the infrastructure for that is in place now.
It’s often difficult to impossible to get sports streams. It feels like they don’t want you watching their product unless you’re prepared to pay thousands. Conversely, these ramshackle pirating operations get by on ad revenue just fine.

It seems like these sports leagues could easily bring thousands of viewers back into the fold by not trying to charge thousands just to watch one stream. It’s just not feasible since most sports-watchers watch every sport and don’t have the multi-thousands to purchase every streaming package.
Over the last few years I've begun to understand that freedom in a too-real sense is the reward we experience for loving the truth, to the extent that we do.
This 3 steps are key:

1) Make a good resume.
2) Work on GitHub portfolio, they need to know what you are capable to do (this is really important)
3) Don't be afraid to apply as much as you can!

If you don't know where to apply, well there are tons of job boards nowadays, check out this great resource, a curated list of the best job boards out there that I am building: https://jobboardsearch.com

Good luck :)

> Well, yeah. Streaming services wouldn't exist without DRM. [...]

> [...] If we deleted DRM, streaming services would cease to exist overnight

And yet GOG exists and sells games all DRM free. To disprove a theory, one only needs to provide 1 counter example.

Maybe some streaming services would cease to exist. Maybe some of them are not needed. I highly doubt though, that it is an impossibility to have streaming services without DRM. I don't see how DRM helps at all. If I were a Netflix user, which I am not because of DRM and because it is shitty built to not work on Firefox on GNU/Linux and without installing shit on my machine, I could simply record my screen copying the content. Even if there was some software limiting this ability, I could use a hardware before the monitor to grab the video signal. DRM doesn't protect anything properly.

In Europe pushing Coronavirus vaccines as a magic solution while downplaying potential (and later real) side-effects, defaming critics of one specific vaccine as anti-vaccine in general and cultivating an all-around attitude of suspicion and distrust towards those that criticized the measures enacted by the government.

The latter is particularly insidious as can be seen also in the HN comments associating Coronavirus vaccine criticism with right-wing politics - which by the way is a normal and necessary part of the political spectrum.

I already have a 3500 watt propane powered generator we keep in the bed of our truck for our rv, so I've been wondering what barriers there were to charging while driving and then I came across the above article.
Exactly, that's why "it's probably a good fit only if it just runs on a known controlled development board/architecture/platform".

Maybe the title should be "Toit is a modern high-level language designed specifically for ESP32".
Fine. Assassinate then. /s
Linear electrical networks have no maximum current, though.
I love this idea: "Cheapest way to run a static site that can handle hugs of death".
1.I was referring to new Macs, at least those that came after Steve Jobs came back (~97). Older computers were a nightmare in terms of ports and incompatibility thereof, the standardisation around the PC platform helped a lot and Apple was for a long time the only company going against that paradigm with its own platform. Also I'm not saying that Lightning can't and isn't used in a master configuration, I'm just saying that's not what it is usually meant to do, and it's seldom used as such.

2. I was there when USB OTG on USB A/B was a thing, and it was _horrible_. The combo A/B micro ports were terrible, and it was rare to find the right cables, let alone accessories compatible with your devices. USB-C has been the first connector that made OTG really a thing, before it was just a crappy experience limited to a handful of devices (Samsung Galaxy, for instance)

> aggressively removing features that 10% of users rely on in order to give what they see as a better experience for the 90% (e.g. removing headphone jack)

I call bullshit on this point. That's simply not true. I do not know a single person that liked or benefited from the switch, except Apple shareholders of course. Everyone, myself included, hates the fact you can't use standard headphones with mobile phones anymore, it's arguably a crappy experience that was forced by Apple and the industry with moronic justifications to hide the end goal to cut their costs and push people to buy more expensive Bluetooth headphones. The fact Apple did that just before releasing the AirPods and after buying out Beats speaks volumes about what their true goal was. It's just as hypocritical and fake as their "green" push is, they are trying to paint their corporate greed as something beneficial for the world, which is outright despicable. I'd rather buy my products from a company that's unapologetically honest with their customers than one that tries to gaslight you.
I remember seeing this before and as far as I can tell, nothing important has changed since then.

It's still a project where the bus factor is extremely low: the author has 95% of all the commits. The project is basically reinventing every wheel in the typescript space, too, and it's going weird ways with a custom compiler and crazy reflection.

It's dogfooding hard, so it's all built on its own things, and all of those things are definitely going to have bugs because one guy wrote all of it, and it's just him to fix them.

I think it has a lot of neat stuff and cool things I'd otherwise like to have, but there is basically no way I can adopt this framework for anything serious because of the reasons above.

The least thing I'd do is to give the treasure to Spain. For the number of deaths and for the consequent slavery, I don't think the "occupation" and the sack of primary goods can be considered peaceful.

I don't really understand the point almost all of the thing they list as downsides of using Leet Code are actually benefits. If someone can't manage to code some simple questions during an interview I can't imagine they'd ever make real contributions.
> Above free tier AWS Lambdas are terribly expensive when compared with EC2 alone. You're charged per RAM*time, you're charged per concurrent execution, and if your Lambda times out you have to pay for the re-execution.

They are dirt cheap for many use-cases where you application only runs a few times a day/hour and you need ad-hoc scalable performance. For example processing/creation of csv-reports - which is a common task in my organization.
I mean, to be fair you're agreeing that it's old, clunky and incomplete and isn't quite as unintuitive as one of the most unintuitive programs in existence.

I think you're both right. It's pretty bad compared to good GUIs, but it's better than all the competition (the free competition at least)! That's just not saying much.
Cars - when the switch came from leaded to unleaded fuel - were more robust machines by an order of magnitude, and engine failure in cars means you have to call a garage. Engine failure in a plane means you are likely dead.

Yeah, right. Now if i find out why it gives syntax error on a perfect part of code.
If you are limiting the discussion to included stock VPN implementations, doesn’t that basically just include IPsec? Most secure third-party options will drop packets that aren’t destined for an encrypted tunnel, even while not running.
How would you rate the relative significance of these things:

- blocking of IP addresses on an ISP level, introduced via court order

- folks who organize hockey lose some revenue

For me, the former is a 10/10, the latter maybe a 3/10. About as severe as ..bike theft. Happens all over the place, costs normal people quite a bit of money and distress, and no one does a thing about it.

This reflects an inappropriate influence of that sports league on law and society, don't you think?

My high school had an electronics training course that was building decoders as a practical work.

It was good training for supply chain management and manufacturing. And they were selling them (illegally, obviously) and sharing the revenue between students and teachers.

Over the years and hundreds of decoders sold, they probably contributed to a significant loss of revenue for Canal+ in my hometown.

The complaints about the complaints about cloud costs vs on-prem often deliberately ignore that there is a spectrum of options between "cloud" and "on-prem". This is not a binary choice between these two extremes.

Your air-conditioned room plus networking can easily be rented from a multitude of providers, for example, in different variants from "el cheapo" to "ultra-high-professional with lots of fancy certificates". You can then place your own hardware in rented racks, you can buy your own racks and place them in rented space, or you can rent everything including the hardware.
I've had more issues with some filter sources in ublock origin's default list. In particular Fanboy's lists, and some others, that just block classes, IDs and URLs with certain names and patterns that are "commonly" used for annoyances or ads, but are so aggressive they often overdo it.

Didn't realize endcards were a thing on youtube until a year ago because of it, and many sites break in subtle to unsubtle ways.

Hacking on blockchain easy? Emerging blckchns with zkp like Concordium can help
There are different laws. Enforcing laws that limit freedom of information is censorship, be it net filtering or burning books. Enforcing copyright laws is not - you wouldn't call customs intercepting a truck of illegally copied DVDs censorship.

It's not about who does it, it's about why they do it. Is blocking illegal-due-to-copyright content a slippery slope to blocking illegal-because-opressive-regime-said-so content? Yes. Is "slippery slope" a bad argument? Also yes.

I agree having court-enforced IP block lists controlled by private companies is bad. But that isn't censorship, it's just stupid.
Powerful technique, helps to discover what your mind can do and come up with solutions.

Anyone tried something similar?

What is your take on this?
That's basically what's going on with ITER, it needs to be so massive because the technology available at the time of conception was not capable of generating more intense magnetic field. There is a very strong relationship between the strength of the field and the required size of the tokamak (hence time and cost of construction). By the time you're done better technology will be available, but that's how progress goes.
> Why? Libraries loan you books and paper does not have any DRM. Works fine.

Because books are physical objects, copying them is expensive. Digital data doesn't have that problem.

Unregistering has had some serious problems of hitting active voters in the past, though I'm not an expert there.

But I can easily say that checking ID, without first making sure valid voters can easily get the needed ID, is unacceptable.

> You seem to believe that (...) Free Software developers to overextend themselves, (...) and that society then ought to somehow repay these selfless acts of sacrifice.

No, the exact opposite. I'd like to have a society that values sustainability and their civil liberties more than they value consumerism and short-term thinking based on immediate conveniences.

Software is increasingly a crucial part of everyone's lives and we can not just wait that others will make stuff for us out of goodness of their hearts. As consumers, we should be more selective about what kind of business we patronize and we should vote with our wallets to indicate what should be at premium.

If we wait for Companies to develop a conscience or "The Government" to fix these problems, it's never going to happen. But we can collective take action and start demanding F/OSS alternatives and software that does not lock us into any trap and we should be ready to pay for it.

> I instead want to improve society to the point that developers have enough spare time

This is the worldview that implies that F/OSS is something that should be only a hobby, and something to be practiced only by amateurs (in the good sense of the word). Apologies for the language, but fuck that worldview. I do not want to do FOSS in my spare time. I want to use my spare time with my family, pursuing other interests and hobbies, do something else besides writing software.

This is not to say that all software should be written only in a "professional" context. If there are people that want to write software for their own interests and self-expression, great. If they want to make that F/OSS, even better! But if the majority of software being written is meant to solve actual problems that people/business are willing to pay actual money for it, why can't that be F/OSS as well?

I’ve seen so many people over the years do terrible on these types of test that went on to be amazing contributors. We only found this out because we essentially ignored the outcome of these tests, which makes you wonder why you’re doing these tests at all!
Yes. Unless you’ve no problem with becoming obsolete.
Over the years, I've migrated from AWS -> Digital Ocean -> Wasabi/Hetzner for various compute/storage needs and I'm still surprised how AWS price hasn't come down considering many other options in the market. It feels like cloud computing & storage have really become commoditized with many viable alternatives but the price charged by Azure/AWS/GCP doesn't seem to reflect this.
Far would it be for a government to describe censoring opposing viewpoints as “blocking content for the greater good”, right?
That's true in most metro areas. You don't need state and federal mandates you need local cooperation. Los Angeles is expanding light rail at a breakneck pace. Why? Because they have one dominant transit authority and a unified plan.

Compare that to the nine county Bay Area. There's nearly one transit agency for each county and a few regional agencies (BART, Caltrain) to contend with. The constant bickering and infighting is exactly why nothing gets done.

I agree with you that seizing counterfeit goods is similar to this, and not censorship, but at the same time it’s dangerous/unhelpful to define censorship based on wether the goods/information is “legal” or not.

I’m guessing most authoritarian censorship is, in the local legal system, just seizing illegal goods.

Wether its censorship or not is more dependent on the type of information/goods, and to some extent the moral or cultural framework of the observer.

Is the suggested ban in Sweden on posting photos/videos of dead people censorship or just a reasonable way to protect relatives of e.g terrorist attacks?
We could still pay for public transport on the country side too.
if the "simple questions" are realistic problems they might face day to day, fair enough. But the classic example in these articles is an exercise like invert a binary tree, which most people never have nor will need to do, making it a poor test.

As the others have answered... I don't have a TV but I've got a projector with a gigantic diagonal. I posted here several times that I don't understand why streaming from Netflix gives a worse picture than playing a torrent. The DRM itself may be the reason apparently (maybe the computer I use to stream from Netflix ain't powerful enough? No clue).

I'll just say this: sailing the high seas (well, kinda: I only pirate the movie which I have access to anyway and I'm subscribed to Netflix/Disney+/Amazon Prime Video/etc. + 140 channels as part of my Internet subscription) gives a better picture than streaming.

People underestimate the quality of streaming movies locally and playing FLAC files locally vs streaming.

But yea, since all (well, most) of the keys you can press are shown on the screen when you need them, learning them should not be very difficult. Getting fast and fluid with them takes some practice, but a lot less practice than the violin or piano.
Perhaps I am confused or we are talking about different things and consequently talking past each other, but I can literally open a new AWS/GCP/Hetzner/DO account, plug the credentials into my local configuration (in code), and then run a command with NixOps to provision an entire network of machines with custom specifications, and to automatically install all the software I need on those machines.

Perhaps you aren't familiar with what NixOps and similar tools can give you?
A realistic problem similar to what they’ll be expected to d in the job followed by a discussion to ensure they actually understand it makes much more sense than leetcode. Ideally with time for them to complete some of it independently with full access to the internet, an editor, etc.
The article says "In the 80s, there were three channels available. Two of them, Antenne 2 and FR3, were state funded and boring while TF1 was privatized and offered plenty of Japanese cartoons" and later, he says that everything changed when a fourth channel (Canal Plus) was launched in 1984. However, TF1's privatization was made later, in 1987.
