There are quite a few people shooting with vintage equipment and techniques. They do it for many reasons - for a specific aesthetic, to evoke a certain time period, to achieve technical qualities not readily doable with modern equipment, because it's fun to play with old tools, because there's a market for art using older techniques, etc.

I have a friend who's business is producing images - portraiture and landscapes - on very large glass plates for example.

I have another friend who is a high-end commercial photographer by day, but for his personal art, he shoots with large format view cameras - which would be using glass plate negatives - in this style of Ansel Adams or Edward Weston.

nesting will be nice when it lands, but i'm most excited by far for :has() support. i know chrome and safari have initial implementations in place and firefox just recently started. :has() will be the biggest advancement in css since grid, moreso than nesting or container queries, because of the power it puts in the stylists' hands. unfortunately trying to track its progress is a haphazard gander into an opaque maze of different sites and bug trackers.

What exactly do you disagree with? I mostly just shared how I'd feel if these techniques were used on me...
Retconning content on streaming services was something I was once concerned about, but eventually told myself wasn't a realistic worry. If anything it was on my mind because when it happened before (Star Wars, as someone else mentioned) I found the retconned/altered versions to just be....in my own opinion, a lesser version than what came before it.

This, combined with music streaming services suddenly 'disappearing' albums (usually for licensing reasons) is what's nudging me back towards just buying and ripping physical media again (or....yeah..pirating).

> can't be trusted to make good, efficient, solution-focused decisions that senior-level and higher developers must make

I mean you could ask them about this and get a clear understanding. I also don't see people writing code in their free time as a junior trait. Most of the very senior devs I know still do.

We're working on the UIs portion over at Clerk (https://www.clerk.dev), however, we're not going all in on permission-ing and just giving folks enough "ABAC" so that we can actually power the UIs. I hope in the future we integrate with more powerful tools, such as warrant, to make this all more seamless :)
Friends was found to be rendering into reruns adverts for movies which hadn't yet been released when the reruns were airing (2012 IIRC).

I've tried learning Rust after learning Go, never really got into it. I also know C, C++, Java, Python, PHP, JS, and a couple others (Perl, anyone?) I find Rust syntax too complex, similar to C++ which I also avoid now.
4chan's /tv/ will produce a list of 100+ examples of censorship by the streaming platforms if you go make a thread about it.

To be honest, I just personally don't care because I didn't trust the streaming platform that made 'Cuties' and '13 Reasons Why' with moral matters to begin with.
There is a subheading in the article that reads:

>How did we arrive at our list of supported languages?

Which I believe answers the question well, with bullet points, that aren't just reducible to developer adoption, so I am unclear about your frustration here.
> multi-client encryption is hard

It's taken a few years, and there may be a few bugs left that I don't know about (out of sight, out of mind), but Matrix uses the same double-ratchet encryption, and has solved multi-client encryption with cross-signing. Some clients may be imperfect, but this is the price we pay for being able to develop other clients - something Signal steadfastly refuses.
I hated the most recent redesign with the jumbo user chrome.

So much so that I jumped ship. Went to Opera for a bit, no on Vivaldi.

Vivaldi: Has a pleasant looking UI, is easy to customize the color scheme, has a TON of options for various workflows, is fast.

While FF likes to show strong benchmarks for Gecko, Blink is noticeably smoother in practice.

Mozilla really needs to inject new life into Firefox. Fix the UI; fix the perf problems. The Servo team was making great progress in the perf department. So sad that Mozilla dropped that program.
There's a difference between correcting factual errors (or typos) and changing the story to better fit current political climate.
Your point is fine when it comes to a group of friends, that you most likely self selected, but I have to disagree when it is in the workplace, (a mixture of different values and opinions).

It is important that everyone is aware of the rules, (boundaries), not just the person that may have violated them. I agree a public group wide discussion is not appropriate, but we still need to communicate what rule was violated for the sake of the entire group, not just the transgressor.
This becomes apparent when studying another language as well. Words don't map cleanly because, ultimately, definitions are arbitrary and decided by tradition and shared understanding.

I still had problems with this, though, because I took the "assuming the other person has exactly the same understanding of the word as we do" to the other extreme and got pedantic in my conversation, frequently side-tracking to explain every important concept.

Since I read Conscious Business, I've changed to more of what you describe and only detour when we seem to be butting heads on something unexpected.

plus regardless of the official meaning, how _else_ would you interpret a header that's saying "I'll accept anything". Like the only reasonable response is "cool, here's what i felt like giving you since you gave me no guidance whatsoever and said you could handle anything"
Sparse indexes are pretty limited and it only supports B-tree, which make implementing AVET and VAET difficult. Further efficiently finding the current value for a E + A is difficult to do in SQL in a way that doesn't require maintaining a whole copy of the data. I actually bumped up against what I believe are weird edge-case bugs in the SQLite query planner when dealing with sparse indexes as well.

I think I gave up when trying to implement one-many relationships because the SQL was getting too gnarly.
Of course I'm referring to the linked paper.

If you are not seeing such discussion perhaps you should read it more slowly. It's early in the Results section.

The clustering of COVID-19 cases in December around the Huanan market (Fig. 1, B and C, insets) contrasts with the pattern of widely dispersed cases across Wuhan by early January through mid-February 2020 (Fig. 1, D and E), which we mapped using location data from individuals using a COVID-19 assistance app on Sina Weibo (26). Weibo-based data analyses show that, unlike early COVID-19 cases, by January and February many of the sick who sought help resided in highly populated areas of the city, and particularly in areas with a high density of older people (Fig. 1E and figs. S9 and S10).
> its being implemented in a response to public and political feedback

Do you honestly believe that? I have little doubt it was more along the lines of cross-checking their ad revenue with the rest of Disney and saw Hulu was performing atrociously due to excluding political issue ads. This just happens to be a "good story" alternative to saying they want more money.
I think in my whole professional career I've experienced a colleague being annoyingly "woke" literally once – and even then, it was someone talking about a view that I thought was silly, rather than any kind of demand.

Conversely, the number of times I've sat through people losing their shit about some trivial perceived "wokery" is way higher. YMMV.

From an interview I read a couple of years ago, this part stuck out (paraphrased, from memory).

The interviewer asked something like "Are you optimistic about human survival?" and Lovelock's reply was, roughly - "Oh yes, I am optimistic. I mean, there might be a bottleneck of the population down to a few thousands, but long term we will survive".

Talk about the large-scale view.

To be fair, a decent part of the current model for getting to the Moon does involve milestone based payments, with the general idea being that it's cheaper, more efficient and has fewer bad incentives than just endlessly funding until the desired outcome is achieved. IIRC pretty much everything in Artemis besides SLS+Orion is using a milestone based funding model (the lander, the space station, the various research orbiters and landers that started launching this year).
And what would the local government had done had the owner happened to be there and had put a bullet in the thief instead of waiting for the dog to do it?

I remember watching a thing from another ex-burglar who said dogs are a good deterrent but you can overcome them if you distract them with food, e.g. dropping a big bag of dog food all over the floor. He said it was a risky strategy though and probably not worth the effort.

I can't speak to the author's views, but it would to me. There's something very disconcerting about the ability of digital media to be "memory holed", and the Streisand effect is no longer a sure thing, in the age of big tech censorship infrastructure built by popular (media) demand.
If you change the region from "Worldwide" to "United States", you can see a much more concerning long-term trend.
Yes, but I wouldn't be allowed (or I would be questioned) why I wanted to use that budget on this addon/upcharge. We can always fight to get more $$ (there's always money in the banana stand!), but I do have to put myself on the line to do it, justify the need, etc. I would never do that for a vendor 6 months into a new relationship.
Probably not very familiar to the HN crowd, but in the past, Rooster Teeth has also retroactively edited episodes of the CGI show RWBY.

So far, I only recall them doing this to fix animation and editing errors, but it has made viewers on Reddit get a bit Mandela Effect-y (when they thought they saw an animation error which was no longer visible in the updated version on the streaming platform).
I just read yesterday, that not only does my blog need microservices, it needs microfrontends.
I don't disagree but that says to me that a lot of the "Rust is hard" narrative is actually "low-level systems programming is hard", eg) domain complexity is being misattributed to the language.
For a bit I was using vimwiki. I really liked it, however, getting it to work with images was a huge pain in the butt. So lately I have been using Obsidian. It allows me to use vim mode, paste images, and also write notes in md format.

Note that the zoonotic path of Ebola into humans isn't well-understood. There was pretty good evidence of the path for SARS-1 though, and very good evidence for MERS. For SARS-CoV-2, there's still nothing, despite the recent emergence and considerably greater effort searching.

The "two lineages" argument has been grossly distorted by Worobey and the media. They're just two single-nucleotide polymorphisms apart, so they could easily have arisen in a single human-to-human transmission. SARS-CoV-2 averages something around a third of an SNP per human-to-human transmission, so ~10% of such transmissions differ by two SNPs.

If a missing link does exist, then it's just a single mutation away from either strain. So there's no reason to consider the "two lineages" too significant in any direction, unless you believe sampling in humans has been perfectly good. That belief seems unreasonable to me, especially since belief in a natural zoonotic origin requires us to believe sampling in animals has been perfectly bad.

They are killing the Blue color for purple everywhere
This purple color everywhere is looking vulgarly excessive, causing eyesore to me. MS Teams refuses to adapt system theme. Search engines changed link color to purple (unvisited). Bing links are dark purple. Google is doing the same. Are they killing the pleasant blue color? What's happening?
Yeah. They are both writing code in Rust and also dabbling in creating a language of their own to see how that goes, not necessarily with the intent of releasing it, but at least exploring the space from first principles instead of being incumbered by Rust's decisions. I think the name started with V but I cannot find it right now with quick Googling.

Notre Dame took about a century to complete, keeping it around for at least ten times its construction time isn't crazy compared to other structures.

Love what you're building at Clerk! Would love to work together. Will reach out!
JRR Tolkien modified "The Hobbit" to better accord with what he had developed about Gollum and the One Ring for the upcoming "Lord of the Rings". He even retconned the modification, making the original version (published in 1937) the one that Bilbo told people. This is not a new thing.
So what was allegedly changed?? The article doesn't elaborate.

Editing something innocuous but associated with trauma just feels... wrong.

History happened. No need to create a past and future-projected vacuum as a consequence of past events.
It is frustrating when any company does it! Artificially software limiting features reduces the utility of devices across the board, which sees those devices going in to landfills sooner. All of the energy that goes in to mining, transportation, and manufacturing of the materials is less effectively utilized, so these practices lead to higher emissions, more waste, and more rapid environmental degradation. They also contribute to stratification of our economy, as users have to pay more money more often to get the features they need, raising shareholder profits off the backs of consumers.

This idea that we can manufacture something complex and then artificially limit its features to run profit seeking schemes is one that makes sense in a pure business sense, but in the end is often harmful to society. We don't have to do this. We could have a fully functioning free market economy even in a world where business norms involved open source software and open source hardware. Businesses would charge more for hardware but it would provide value to customers for so much longer, that down market customers could just buy used and get the same features they would have gotten if they bought a new, feature limited device from a closed source vendor.

"Then people would rip them off!"

No, then people would build off of their work and compete on other things like price or other features. We can see as a case study the world of open source 3D printers, where few vendors sell direct clones of other models, as they tend to use other manufacturing methods and change the design for their factory, adding differentiating features along the way.

"Then no one would invest!"

No, instead of less frequent large investments, you would see more frequent small investments - investors helping a factory buy one more machine to meet production goals for the next quarter with a new design no one has yet seen. First mover advantage is real.

Notably, even the libertarians at the Mises Institute oppose intellectual property restrictions, which are an artificial government monopoly on information, an extreme restriction on free markets!
You can always make the argument that everything is everything else, everything can be traced back to religion, or monetary gain or trying to improve social standing; that’s not interesting because it’s extremely easy to make everything relate to everything.

So, while I appreciate greatly the attempt to politicise the world and make this topic greyer than it needs to be: it’s a little at odds with reality unless you’ve entirely internalised the notion that everything is political always.

This is the same argument as “silence is violence” but even that movement acknowledges the reason they consider it violence is because it supports the status quo.

The status quo should not be considered political. In order to be apolitical one must live within the status quo; only excluding the inherently political things like protesting or denouncing/promoting politicians or parties.

Similar to how theism doesn’t preclude denouncing other faiths or supporting any: whatever the current climate is with regards to the dominant theism; is what is usually understood to be normal by atheists wherever they are based- with the obvious exclusion of inherently religious things like going to a place of worship or praying.

What makes HIV hard to eliminate is that it persists in bone marrow. What's happening in these transplants, in cancer patients who also have HIV, is that the patient's original bone marrow (having become cancerous) is killed off and completely replaced, taking the HIV with it. And killing off the original bone marrow is the nastiest part of the procedure by far (source: my uncle went through it) -- but that's what gets rid of the HIV. Anything that replicates that effect would be an alternative transplant process, not an alternative to one.

It is all about the money. Hulu's ad revenue was most likely found to be underperforming the rest of Disney and political issue ads is at least one of the differences. They are just using this as a cover.
I think the frustrating thing is they can (potentially) afford much less to fund a competent software team, so the end product is much less than it could be. Which is unfortunate because of how good the hardware is.
I don't see a problem with changing a story to fit the current political climate better, assuming that the original version has been archived by someone somewhere.
