"What kind of paint you want it printed with" assumed that it's already after matching it to whatever Pantone definition you're after given the materials/conditions/printing method etc., otherwise you're quite obviously not going to get the result you want.

Leaving the ratrace to start a bootstrapped SaaS worked good for the first 5 years.

There's a really common saying / dark joke in AA "we were all high functioning once." When admitted alcoholics look back on their lives we usually find a period of years where we and even those around us considered our drinking "high functioning" but that's not really a stable position. Eventually some major life disruption will throw off whatever is keeping you balanced there and then it's on for real. It's better viewed as a stage of alcoholism rather than a type of it, if that makes sense.
RISC ISAs are about an assembly language that is for compilers to write, not humans. That's not to say you can't, but the dance in and out of the registers is tedious.

And RISC-V is more explicitly pure-RISC than ARM, and honestly I think ARM is "friendlier" to write with its conditional instructions and other conveniences. Also for some reason I find the ARM mnemonics easier to read. Maybe it's the 6502 influence, I dunno. FWIW I have never learned x86 assembly; when I went from 68000 to x86, I just started writing C instead.

I'm not saying any of this makes ARM superior. I think RISC-V's choices make more sense for a compiler target. It's not meant to be written by humans. But on a "retro" machine, assembly is kind of part of the deal.

Maybe a fancy macro assembler for RISC-V would be nice, to give a slightly higher level CISC-style set of semantics, but without going the whole hog to a high level language.

https://erik-engheim.medium.com/arm-x86-and-risc-v-microproc... has a nice breakdown.
I only have a couple of sore devices (phone, appletv, Apple Watch) but I think things are better now without Ives… I saw a MacBook Pro 14” at the store for the first time 2 weeks ago. I now want one. I haven’t wanted an apple computer since the first retina. My wife instantly fell in love with the iMac and wants one. She said it’s so pretty.
Google Maps has a few quirks. Here in Germany it always prefers to send you through 30km/h residential zones. Which might be somewhat faster than taking congested main roads but those 30km/h zones are terrible to drive through. There's always cars parked at one side of the street so you have to wait for oncoming traffic. The streets usually are very narrow. So the stress level to the driver is way higher.

I also noticed a quirk where it would send me 2km down a road just to turn back and drive the 2km back to where I came from. First few times I thought I must have added a waypoint but nope - sometimes it just makes you waste time.

Apple Maps might be better but I can't use it as it has a quirk with "Environmental Zones" in Germany. There are 3 kinds of zones: Red, Yellow and Green. Your car has a badge with a color (depends on how environmentaly friendly it is). So a green badge can enter every zone, a yellow badge only yellow and red zones, and a red badge only red zones.

Now whenever Apple Maps encounters such a zone in the route the navigation switches to a waaaay zoomed out view (tends to display the whole route on a map). So you can't really see the next turn, etc.

To get rid of that view Apple Maps expects you to click on OK. Which really sucks while driving.

What's infuriating is that you can't turn off the env zone checking or even just tell Maps that "my car has a green badge so PLEAS FOR F SAKES STOP PESTERING ME EVERY TIME YOU ENCOUNTER A ZONE". (Those zones are very common - every bigger town is a green zone. So Apple Maps becomes _really_ unusable on longer trips).
It seems very strange to use the existing rules of copyright as a defense of the use of this new technology.

The concept of copyright was created in response to the development of the printing press. It was a reaction to a disruptive technology. It was possible to laboriously copy written works before the printing press existed, but the new technology made it incomparably cheaper and faster to do so, and societies reacted by creating new protections for content creators.

We are now at the threshold of a new disruptive technology that is likely to bring about profound economic changes in the arts. It makes no sense to me to take the old rules and try to use them to justify this disruptive technology, when the old rules were initially created in response to a different disruptive technology.

It seems uncontroversial that this new generative technology is built on the backs of human artists. It only functions by drawing from their works. Is it so unconceivable that we might need a totally new set of protections for those human artists?

One caveat with testing library’s getByRole function is that it’s really really slow.

The entire "idea" of Rust is the ability to achieve memory safety by mutation XOR multiple references, which is a different way to achieve the benefits of referential transparency/immutable data structures without the loss of performance.

Rust is not a "functional language" in that sense, but that was not the claim made, which is that Rust is heavily influenced by FP. This is most clearly seen in the trait system (typeclasses) and iterator patterns.

Influence doesn't mean you're doing exactly the same thing. If I make a rock band influenced by classical music, that doesn't mean I'm doing classical music, but I'm still very obviously influenced by it.
>Who are these people in the tech. departments making these decisions ?

They aren't in the tech department; it's being forced downwards in many cases, often by the company "selling" the 2FA "solution".

Some cases you get a rare CTO who actually understands and cares, but that's rare.

The main point of attack would be the companies selling 2FA solutions to enterprise; they need to add non-SMS options and market on them - which may require a few more high profile SMS hacks to get it in front of everyone.

So maybe the solution is for techies to hack SMS 2FA (don't actually do this).
In my opinion the well has been poisoned.

I do pay for services for which trustworthy providers exist (mail, vps, git, small software, indie game studios).

I also put 50 dollars a month aside to donate to various open source projects I enjoy, because they are valuable to me, and the money actually goes to the devs.

I would gladly pay for many "mainstream" services as well, if I actually became a customer by doing so.

Unfortunately most large corporations will still track me, abuse my data, show me ads and spam (and distribute) my mail address and phone number even if I pay them. Hell, even TV manufacturers started doing this crap.

Many large scale IT companies don't even want to build a sustainable business. Why pay those? If one of them goes down a replacement will pop up, their value typically only comes from a large userbase, which doubles as the only reason for a lack of alternatives.

In many cases they even create negative value for me due to factors like peer pressure.

Take my money and then leave me alone. If you refuse to do that, it typically means I'm the one creating and providing value nowadays. And then it becomes highly debatable which one of us two deserves to get paid here.
You'll never get exact matching colors between a digital representation and a physical sample - there are too many variables at play an distinct physical differences that can't be made up.

I have never found the Pantone hexs to be particularly close to even the basic coated/uncoated guide colors, either, despite having about as good of a color matching setup as one can get at the prosumer level (and do not see how going from the four-digit to five-digit range would close the gap in color accuracy on thee hexes)

As someone with 3 Pantone decks and 2 RAL decks within arm's reach while writing this, I've never understood the value proposition of these virtual libraries beyond a quick and dirty starting point for digital representation. When something goes to print, your printer isn't going to be comparing against what it looks like digitally, either. They'll either use their proprietary spot ink/dye mix/etc., or pull out their guide and compare physical to physical.

Every time I've sent stuff to a printer that has spot color in it, they've wanted it manually referenced as well, so I've never been able to just hand over an EPS or PDF that had spot color in it and get it done without additional work anyway.
My take on this is a bit different...

I’ve been using Nord for years on my IDE, terminal and wherever I’ve been able to find it.

I use it because it’s dull and low contrast. Some people here are saying these are downsides but for me, personally, it’s a plus.

I’m staring at this stuff 8h a day my eyes used to get tired of all these bright colours and what not. Nord keeps it simple and boring, which I like. The contrast is not always the best but unless I’m pairing or something like that I don’t have an issue with it. Maybe I will as my eyes degrade.

They also have a great site and the theme is so popular you can easily find it in any tool you’d want.

> Who are these people in the tech. departments making these decisions ?

It is not the "tech. departments" making the decisions.

It is a PHB [1] in the "security department" following a checklist of "recommended practices" and one of the checkboxes on the list is "add SMS 2FA".

I.e., you are looking at it as a technical decision where the pros and cons security wise are weighed and the better technical solution is selected.

Which is not at all how these decisions occur in the real world in real businesses, and esp. in stodgy ones like banks/finance. Instead the decision is driven not by technical merit but by what "options" are provided on the checklist they must follow, that checklist often being sourced from whatever govt. regulator provides their oversight.

The technical people building the solutions likely know all the problems, but are powerless to do anything but implement the directed solution, because the directed solution is the only one available on the "checklist" from which they are allowed to select.

[1] PHB = Pointy Haired Boss -- Dilbert cartoon reference
Another problem is that as nice as avoiding state and side effects is, for any decently complex application there's a minimum amount of state that you simply have to handle, and as a general rule OOP languages seem to make dealing with state much easier. Mind you there are plenty of good ideas in FP, and discriminated unions is the feature I want added most to C#.
There's also the ROI argument, enterprise pricing in many cases comes with a ROI estimate that requires quite a bit of involvement in understanding the potential customer use case.

The trick is to make the case that the price is cheap for them, given that they get more out of the software than what it costs.
> Is it time to try and force a legislation through Congress because I don't think these companies give a shit until forced to.

Yes. Without regulation, nothing will change in the short term; perhaps in the long term with Google and Apple pushing passkeys in their ecosystems.

You will still need a solution for those without a mobile phone or a smartphone, such as a hardware PIV/smart card like DoD CAC and other digital ID cards with crypto primitive support.

Not really, I made sure I sufficiently rested and I was fresh.
That depends on the jurisdiction, I'd say. Here in Germany you can take sick leave almost forever and it can be quite hard to fire people for health issues. Not impossible, and eventually the employer can fire you, but in most cases if people intend to ever work again, they can stay with the same employer.

USA: totally different.
>It's not even remotely the same. It's much closer to a rolling release distribution than a stable one

No it isn't. CentOS Stream will never make a change which would be out of place for RHEL to make, which means ABI and APIs (and version numbers for the most part) remain stable for the entire lifetime of the distro.

That is wholly incomparable with something like Debian Testing or Arch or Fedora Rawhide which "roll" through major updates all the time.
Here in the Czech Republic, plenty of government geodata is open (not all for now), but merging datasets is hard, so OSM contributors only do occasional manual imports. It serves as a valuable base and could be used as an OSM alternative on its own, but when you've already got OSM, which is generally more detailed and sometimes even more up-to-date, why bother?
We will have the best of both worlds ;)
> FP people are not bullying you, or shoving anything down your throat.

Have you ever worked with a FP evangelist? Every single experience I've had has been with a person who simply won't take "no" for an answer. The impatience, ego, and pettiness is bar none, really.

Aside from that, there are objective reasons to be skeptical: it's inefficient when it comes down to actual implementations that have to work on actual computers and solve actual problems ("but but tail recursion and copy optimizations lolol you moron you just don't understand it"). Also, most FP tends to become much more complex than an equivalent imperative program solving the same problem, usually through a terrible confluence of code density and mazes of type definitions.
In this case it might be more literal since line cook was one of the jobs with the highest covid casualty rate. IIRC higher than frontline medical workers in the US.
I don't get it.. So far I've been able to add anybody on Mastodon. I'm on indieweb.social, but most of the people I'm following are elsewhere. Seems to work fine. Yes, it isn't spoonfeeding me contacts or content like Twitter wants to, but that's also a good thing. I see a lot less bullsh*t.

Also almost nobody I've come across actually says "toots" -- they just say "posts" :-)

The equivalent of the FidoNET nodelist would basically be whatever the most popular Mastodon servers are choosing to federate with. It seems in practice to be more of a consensus driven thing, but has the same net effect. We'll see if it scales.
Now I'm stuck wondering if you missed the joke or are one upping me. Well done if it's the case.
I think Pantone is overplaying their hand here. Clearly, their business has been dwindling for years. I started my professional career in graphic design 20 years ago. Design work targeting digital was barely a blip on the radar. It was all print. Interviews for jobs required a physical portfolio. These days, print is the odd man out.

So, the almighty Pantone swatch book has less value than it once did. Especially, if they want to hose users for $15 a month to use the swatches. Does that mean everyone gets a swatch book for free? Which, btw, is all that matters. The digital swatches really don't mean shit. It's just a placeholder color separation that means "insert spot color here".

Fwiw, in all my years of print design, I used the Pantone swatch book less than a handful of times. It was 99.9% CMYK (which I also had a swatch book for). Maybe it was just the industry/clients I worked with. But, spot colors could add significant cost to a project. So, it was rarely opted.
I think those needing to subscribe to the new Pantone service are more likely to be paying for the full cc suite, not the single app model. This is quite a bit less than that per month.
I don't think the hashtags are a great experience. Common hashtags get overloaded with junk, how do you know which hashtags to use, you need to register with some external service (and find out about it) like fediverse.info which I've found to be a pretty clunky experience. These are the kind of ergonomic wrinkles I was thinking about.
As for one example, a fairly well known body has set up an official Mastodon server half a year ago:

https://social.network.europa.eu

"EU Voice is the official ActivityPub microblogging platform of the EU institutions, bodies and agencies (EUIs). Together with EU Video, it is part of an alternative social media pilot program proposed, and provided by the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS). The pilot program contributes to the European Union’s strategy for data and digital sovereignty that aims to foster Europe’s independence in the digital world.

EU Voice provides EUIs with privacy-friendly microblogging accounts that they typically use for the purposes of press and public relations activities."

A list of the official accounts present there: https://social.network.europa.eu/explore

Are you advocating for OTP 2FA? If so, your concern about losing your phone and losing access to your accounts is still an issue.

At the end of the day, OTP is more secure for the obvious issue with mobile carriers being phished into SIM jacking. But, I've personally had 0 luck convincing any business person that OTP is the best thing to use because (and this is a true statement) users are dumb and lazy and don't want to go through the process of downloading an app on their phone and setting up OTP. Plugging in your phone number for SMS is way easier.
I always thought it was the opposite. That we want AI to have no biases, but we have trouble avoiding it. Choosing data and cleaning is where we insert our bias.
We already have telegram for this, no need for another twitter.

Tech can generate enormous wealth. Talking on the order of 1 guys code for Google might bring in 100s of millions of dollars of revenue (granted most guys codes contribute far far less).

I find it rather hard to generate 100s of millions of dollars of wealth through metal working.

On the flip side, which is harder to outsource? For metal trinkets it would be similar, for stuff that needs to be on prem.. metal working would be outsource proof.
I feel you. As many here I failed to recognize burnout early enough to prevent total exhaustion. My experience (not a doc) is medication won’t help and ADHD seems to be a stereotypical American fixation almost like tomato sauce for us Italians.
Call it for what it is and don’t blame yourself. The cure for burnout is change. Distance yourself from the source of discomfort, lay bricks or bag groceries for at least three months and it will go away. I am saying this because you said you cannot afford a vacation (not slouching on the couch, rather travel). Not sure my experience will help, but that’s my 2 cents.
Someone can come up with a reason to not use any of these.

And yeah, this UID situation with Protonmail is not good. As a long-time Protonmail customer, I've been concerned that they seem to have gotten bored with keeping a stable product.

Back to the point... I still will be using Protonmail because no product is perfect. For example, Fastmail I believe is in Australia which is one of the last western nations where I would want my data to be stored. I wouldn't use them, but does that mean someone else shouldn't use them? Not really. All of these products have tradeoffs. Since Protonmail's delete function is likely to still work most of the time, I won't yet be abandoning them. Fact is that I find all of the alternatives preferable to relying upon The Google.
A bit of knowledge of optics and photography is enough to know that little sensor with miniature glass cant compete with a dedicated camera. (Eg regardless of 'equivalent' field of view via crop factor, a 50mm and 10mm are going to produce a very different depth of field.)

You can definitely take nice photos with it given the right variables and/or some creativity (as you could with a point-and-shoot a decade ago)... but don't be taken in by their marketing if photography is a goal for you.
Didn't Mozilla announce they'd keep some extra APIs that Chrome is dropping?

If meetings stress you out I'd say that's on you or maybe the people at those meetings. Not that meetings are necessarily productive, but just sitting in a chair shouldn't really be that stressful. If it is, some therapy may be in order?

Nope, it sounds like you want Mastodon to be twitter. Or think that it should be trying to be?

They have a blog & followers and some nomenclature in common. But they're really not that similar at all.

If they weren't using @ notation and "followers" etc people would complain it's too different. But because they're using those things, people also complain that it's not similar enough. Tough situation.

It's just best to think of it as something else. It's federated activity feeds.

> You take a bunch of tensors

No, radically not. That is not the kind of understanding we seek.

The advance in knowledge is given by, e.g., "simulated annealing returned a blueprint for very odd circuit schematic with No-Op loops: we were puzzled but then understood they were there to correct timing".

And this is not the level of explanation where tensors are.
