There are some companies that will give you store credits to have your clothes "respun." That to me seems like the best thing.
I wonder how long the rope will last.
Who said that is hard to find it? Is it hard compared to what? How much does it cost (in times and resources) to make it "easier" to find it? The people working on it are doing it for free (as in, it cost me literally nothing to download and install /e/OS on my phone) and you think you still feel entitled to get "good marketing" on top of it?

If you think that the product is lacking in some part, how about you CONTRIBUTE to make it better instead of just diminishing the work of others?

What a fucking lame attitude.

Signed distance fields only work well for relatively simple graphics.

If you have highly detailed characters like Chinese or emojis, you need larger resolution to faithfully represent every detail. The problem is that SDFs are sampled uniformly over the pixel grid. If the character is locally complex, a high resolution is required to display it, but if the character has simple flat regions, memory is wasted. One way to get around excessive memory requirements is to store the characters in their default vector forms and only render the subset of required characters on demand, but then you might as well render them at the required pixel resolution and do away with the additional complexity of SDF rendering.

SDFs are still useful though if you have to render graphics at many different resolutions, for example on signs in computer games, as seen in the original Valve paper https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/apps/valve/2007/SIGGRAPH2007...
It's a good life experience. Now I can recognize it and fix it.
What's so special about squiggly lines drawn by politicians generations ago? You realize there's no divinity in the division between South and North Dakota, right? Even back then these territories were being divided up to maximize political power.

I could be wrong, but I genuinely believe the problem with your line of reasoning is you're rationalizing for a system that benefits you. Your ideology benefits from how things are, and so you find reasons to justify why the way things are is good, actually.

If say states had been divided up differently, would your entire belief system crumble? Assume city-states were the norm and the Senate was overwhelmingly controlled by whichever party controlled urban populations. Like say North Carolina got divided into Raleigh-Durham, Charlotte, the Triangle, Wilmington, and the rest of the state as just one big territory. And every state was like this.

Would you suddenly say hey this is a bad system, not because it benefits people I don't agree with, but because of some other silly reason?

What is so magical about lines put on maps by our great-great-great grandfathers?

If there was a magical US with three states, two with only 1 citizen and one with 1,000,000, would you still hold by your principle that they have their own governments that federate with those of states so this is good?

Where in your system do you draw the line and make a distinction between fair and unfair? How do you determine if one arrangement is more fair than another? Why would you not push for the most fair arrangement?

My principle is embarrassingly simple. Political power should be equal to the number of people represented. That's it. Easy to explain, easy to grasp, easy to measure whether something is fair or unfair. It's imperfect--Lord knows population majorities can still be bastards--but it's the best, most egalitarian system created. And, importantly, it's a principle that doesn't change just because it doesn't benefit me. You're right, it's not very nuanced. Simple often works best.
You want the US to follow policy and investing leads by mainland China?
It's actually a very tiny tool.

that 3 is greater in value than the number 2, yet smaller in size than the number 1.

But more seriously - you're conflating a mathematical model with the reality we're observing. Our number systems (all the varieties of math) are subject to foundational contradictions and paradoxes, and proofs within them can be incredible tools - but they are not objective truths.

We assume that the universe we experience and model is the same as the universe far, FAR away - and that's a reasonable and logical assumption - but it's STILL an assumption.
Same question remains: why does that energy exist?
And there is even the idea that people in a democracy can do more then just vote for representatives.
Scrapy's crawling and CSS/xpath selectors are fine. But I'm annoyed about the pipeline after that. Especially to get the data into a SQLite database. I wish cleaning up the data was a series of transformations on SQL tables instead of a bunch of work on Python models.
This seems a very hostile attitude towards your employer. If they treat you poorly, you are able to complain and voice discontent.

Is there no inverse to that?

If they treat you well, is there no reason to show gratitude?

I imagine coworkers would feel uncomfortable in such a hostile environment.
Taxes are the least soul-sucking aspect of this. I've spent an unreasonable amount of my life playing MMOs, especially the Korean ones, where most of the time the goal is to make (in game) money to get strong enough to take on the next piece of content. This is fun because it works like a version of capitalism without, well, everything else. Seeing numbers go up is fun, be it my character's Critical Damage or the funny number at the bottom of my inventory, and having a safe environment where that can be done at my leisure is fun.

But here's the catch: it doesn't stop there. Any of these games where progression is only gated by in-game money and player trading is enabled, will eventually grow an underground market of RMT (real-money trading). The second you're aware of this, it becomes impossible to think of the in-game money in a vacuum. Suddenly you go from playing for 8 hours to make 10 Million Mesos / Zenny / Alz / Whatever to working for 8 hours to make less than half you would working at McDonalds and trading that money for in-game money. This absolutely destroys any enjoyment you could possibly get out of the game, as it is no longer a game.

This isn't even to mention the people who literally automate the game to play itself to make passive income through hacks / bots, though admittedly that can be fun if you're the type of person who's drawn to breaking computers.

Tangent: my latest discovery solves this by just completely axing trading between players. You can collaborate in bosses for loot that gets split between everyone, but you can't just give anyone money directly. It's great!
Set aside some 10 percent of social situations as a test lab / playground. Do stuff you don't think will work or you are sure will fail. Discuss Harry Potter, try a new persona... Go for it.

Well, I'm sure there are "growth hacker" types out there abusing the ability to observe browsing. But I think the real reason they don't bounce you to Safari, Chrome, etc is because users don't stay in the app if they do that.

I think all of the various bad things people talk about here must happen sometimes, but it's mostly just retention I'd guess.
AI quilt making vending machine. I don't know what I would do with all the quilts, But I like the idea that all my well worn, too shitty to donate fabrics are neatly folded somewhere. Maybe bed sheets as well?
pretty much the same story for me. started 3 years ago, and got a phone for my 70 year old mother almost two years ago. she gets help to install new apps, but otherwise it works just fine for her.
I’m not surprised and it’s really annoying apps still use in-app browsers. I remember even Telegram had that at one point, with link opening only on in-app browser(at least on iOS). But what really annoys me is that most of the users, e.g. my girlfriend, have NO IDEA about the difference, it’s just a browsing window, no matter in-app, which engine, with which privacy feature. Perhaps os vendors should show more obvious UI, and UX wise, tell you you’re leaving a safe browsing experience?
You can't live in today's world without a phone.

All the mechanisms of the past that were geared for this no longer exist.

For example: Drive on the road, get to a toll, don't have a Transponder to pay the bill? No problem - just call a phone number. Uh, what if I don't have a cell? This literally never even occurred to them, there is no alternative way to pay the bill.

That's life today, and it applies to children as well. Want to go to some sports place that only caters to teens and above? Load this website on your phone and fill out an application. Don't have a phone? Borrow a friends phone.
I don't think even the Crypto VCs are approaching this from the angle of making a compelling video game. They don't need to. This is all about creating the next platform for ingame digital consumerism. Think Genshin impact rather than any GoTY title.

And the unfortunate thing (for them that is), is that they haven't even figured out how do to that yet. Nobody buys web3 games, and it's been ~2 years. Until they figure out the MVP of it enhancing digital consumerism, all other promises are just a marketing spin.
> Can you elaborate? I haven't run into any roadblocks yet but I'm not scraping big sites or sending a massive number of requests.

Cloudflare Bot Protection[1] is a popular one. The website is guarded by a layer of code that needs to be executed before continuing. Normal browsers will follow through. It can be hard to bypass.

His millions were funded by the government.. and the legacy providers also could bid on the contracts. It’s not clear if he’s expected to pay off those funds or not (I assume not). As the saying goes, the best money is someone else’s.
How does Dobbs align is with Poland? Do you think it will result in a national ban on abortion in the US?
Even there, Axie was effectively a sophisticated Ponzi scheme. Players were lured into the system with the promise that they could make big money by playing the game -- except that the money was all coming from new players who had to buy items to get started. No value was created by playing the game, and the vast majority of participants ended up losing money to pay the small number of players who did make a profit.
Ralph might not be wrong, but this isn’t the “Unsafe at Any Speed”[0] moment he might think it is. This is just one manufacturer who is using deceptive marketing for one (arguably two) feature(s). So dialing back the hyperbole might be in order. Yes, Tesla needs a smack. But it is not like Tesla is refusing to put seat belts in cars (as in the book).

Ha ha! So much this.

This is exactly why game makers will never do this. They make money on churn. Put out a new game, users must buy all new skins. If you allow porting of skins you drastically reduce your profit. It’s just a stupid business decision. Companies like walled gardens for a reason.

It seems to come in waves, there was another round of SQLite posts hitting the front page around 6 months ago as I recall.

I'm not sure why, SQLite is the most widely deployed database engine on the planet, so it's not as if the technology is really "gaining" in popularity ... it's already there.

I was always curious if this is due to the huge number of new developers, many front-end, who have joined IT over the past decade or so, now venturing out and beginning to learn about relational databases and their benefits.
I knew the Canadian Diabetes Association was a front for big insulin, and this confirms it!
More Than a Third of U.S. Teens Are on Social Media Almost Constantly
I guess I will give it a try then.
A rational actor will notice they get either a promotion or less work in the high/low work instances. If you work in between those boundaries, you get nothing extra.
Because it's like a trope now where a tech person builds a thing that bothers them but nobody else, and meanwhile most people are like "I just want to do X, why is it so hard". Like why does my Android phone take up 15GB just for system files? I care about having free space more than data privacy. Security would sure be nice too, seeing as I use banking apps from this thing.

Call me crazy, but I think most people care less about Nike knowing what their shoe size is, than they care about keeping their bank account safe or not running out of storage.
The South was economically speaking essentially very, very, very behind until WW2 and its after match. They didn't recover 'just fine'.

And considering that the South was literally turning into traditional aristocracy including changing low codes and so on, now is much closer to what we would consider the center.

And used against Trump, and similar. There's a reason people were very upset he was kicked off of Twitter - not because they care in the slightest about Trump, but because it's starting us down a path with a very bad ending.
Most of the usecases mentioned in this thread wouldn't suffer if the in-app browser had to be invoked with a whitelist of approved domains/urls. Perhaps apps could request permission to run an unrestricted in-app browser, and that could be used to facilitate parental controls.

As an aside, is giving parents the option to disable in-app browsers removing a capability or adding one?
Russ Feingold will always have major points for this in my book. Only senator to vote against the 'Patriot Act'.
A nice outcome here for distributed SQL databases that store multiple copies of the data by default is that they can just failover over on an fsync failure and not try to "handle it". If fsync starts failing with EIO there is a good chance the disk is going to die soon anyways.
We'll, it is true that our "ownership class" and its media and political mouthpieces have spent the better part of the last two generations drilling this notion into people's skulls will all the considerable power at their disposal.

I honestly don't understand what Sundar is talking about as everyone I know at google is covered in work and struggling to get through enormous amounts of red tape, but change would be a lot easier if leadership decided to, you know, lead for a change.

And yet.

I am shocked to see that all the "two-factor authentication" approaches don't bother to mention the action that is being authenticated.

People often are conditioned to simply enter their passwords and their two-factor authentication into a window just because they think they are dealing with an official representative.

If you think you're immune, think of how many times you've entered your information into Plaid, which was displayed as a mere iframe on a website! How did you know it was Plaid? Because you trusted the enclosing website? And for that matter, why do you trust Plaid?

People get phished all the time by having a "bank rep" call them on their phone and have them read back these numbers, claiming that a different action is about to take place than the one being confirmed. All that could be EASILY stopped by the banks if they just added the action that's about to be confirmed. But somehow this hasn't happened in any of the incarnations.

PS: I think some places in Europe do mandate it but not USA at all!
Super excited about this. A tool that's comparable or even outperforms DALL-E 2, but open to the public, open source, and without the insane content restrictions or draconian banning policies.

I'd say you're not serious about being able to back on a working bike in almost any conceivable breakdown situation.
I worked for a national us clothing retailer that didn't require but encouraged their 'corporate' employees to spend time in the stores mostly doing reshelves/reracks, tidying the sales floor, etc. Mostly around holidays/sales.

I worked in software for them but 'close to the store' for a bunch of my time there, so I was often in a store somewhere and always would help out as I had time permitting. It was useful for me, it was maybe useful for some of the buyers, I'm not sure it was useful for anyone else.
Or similar to the way that we discovered Neptune and Pluto existed?
You can wait for the Librem 5 for a very long time, they haven't shipped any significant software update for a long time for mine and its in the state that if you turn on auto-suspend (i.e. don't always go at full 100% CPU) it freezes and needs a hard reboot.

Linux on phone is still very much in the enthusiasts-only phase. Not for me, not for most. And I'm saying that as someone that is a KDE/Linux geek!

Maybe that will change, but for now the e.foundation OS has most definitely a large potential audience that those phones are not going to be able to fill just yet.
How does this really work if a developer wants to pull most recent discussions posted in in X category, having most number of replies when I only have to tables?
Expressing flaws doesn't require a better theory, no. By all means, do that.

Expecting others to give up their theories that work well for 99% of the problem, or even only work well for the 10% they care about, just because there's a problem with it DOES require something better AND a reason to switch.

For example, architects (technically stability engineers. Architects don't really design buildings except in the artistic sense) are still simulating Newtonian dynamics on plates that fly through empty space held up by nothing. You want them to change? No problem, but you'll have to make something better and point out why they'd want to use something better ... but, truthfully, it works pretty well.

Selling sex content is also disallowed under Meta's platforms. This could possibly just be a manual error of the person banning the accounts and entering the wrong reason.

Then you’re not really doing software development, just copying code off of google ;)
Since the hard keys are tied to users and implement origin binding, even a sophisticated, real-time phishing operation like this cannot gather the information necessary to log in to any of our systems.

Regardless of whether it's impacting safety or not (I'd be surprised it's not based on the videos of frequent exciting interventions), I can't believe they haven't gotten anything for deceptive marketing about this feature. Tesla.com/autopilot has a video now for many many years that tries to paint the picture you could sit back and read a book (if not for those pesky regulators). Meanwhile people are paying over $10k for it while the fine print (or overt warnings) make it pretty clear it's currently useless
What I meant with DRM was "legallity of breaking it".

If a technological measure that controls access to hardware has no connection to copyright, there's no legal concern about litigation or bad precedent being set.
I don’t see what the problem is. If you have helped someone a lot, and then call in a favor and the ghost you, you didn’t lose a friend. You lost a parasite.

It’s like when you lend money to someone and they avoid you to never pay you back. Depending on the amount that can be money well spent.
It's a digital asset, it's taxed by 30% each time it gets sold. Players happily pay the price. It's the perfect counterexample to your claim that players rage against taxing digital assets on each transaction. It's just not true. When you can't see something so blatantly obvious, it tells me you are very emotional about this and further discussion won't really lead anywhere. So I'm out.
I've always felt that "large" providers should not be able to ban someone except for something that is illegal in the real world.

Every time I post it people hate the idea "it's a private service you can't tell them what to do".

And the alternative is what exactly?

(And yes, I know there are some details to work out, what is "large", what about Spam, what about offtopic messages. But those are details, my post is about the main idea of banning someone. Hate speech and harassment are already illegal.)
"going through the motions" is a phrase associated with sadness, not happiness. That's not at all what OP was describing.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting your comment but SQLite operates with serializable isolation[1] so I don't think write skew is possible. For both the rollback journal and the WAL, SQLite only allows a single write transaction at a time so you can't have two transactions updating with different snapshots.

Also, from that Wikipedia article:

> Were the system serializable, such an anomaly would be impossible
