>We've evaluated AVIF and JPEG XL, with JXL coming out on top.

I would love to see blog post on it. ( Or against it even, we just need good discussions ) But as far as I am know, regardless of politics or ideology, JPEG XL is technically superior to AVIF. And its current reference implementation, isn't even tuned for the best case in many scenarios.

And yet here we are. There are no-demand for it.
Who would I talk to about the PM Role? The same admin@ email? Thanks!
I’m still waiting red hat to pay me for the accepted ansible patch I wrote few years ago.
Been using Outlook for 15 years (remember Hotmail lol) and never had a problem with them.
Paying for email seems so weird.
It's remarkable how quickly so many of those defending Musk are emphasising the 'lords' and 'peasants' language after he used that terminology in a tweet.

It's not original, it's not adding to the discussion, and it just sounds like sycophancy.
While this is a good thing, be careful: other shady practices are spreading to replace non-competes. One example is clauses requiring employees to pay companies back for "training" provided if they leave for any reason. Can you afford to take a new job with a 10k pay rise if you have to pay existing employer 20k to leave?
Indeed, and the surprise is that... it's a surprise to many.

I think inertia allowed things to go sideways for a long time in a lot of professions, without paying the price for it soon enough. It stayed unseen for long because those jobs are often not affecting directly the structure main goals, like sales, manufacturing or field agents. They are support jobs, and help the structure maintain its integrity on the long run.

So it takes time for the problem to be detected, and for the top to even become motivated to fix it. It's quite possible they didn't even know it was a problem, or didn't think it was important. Hell, the person currently in charge have likely arrive at the post way after the decisions to destroy those jobs has been taken, years after years. Each year, one small increment at a time.

We are seeing an extreme version phenomenon in the health system in France. Extreme because it touches more than support jobs. Hospitals are full of exhausted staff that are asked to make yet another effort, "just this once". Getting appointments for specialists now take months, even for repeated sessions. Doctors are making much less money than I do in IT, for much more work, responsibility and administrative pressure. This frog has been boiling for quite some time.
They may have gotten it backwards - more gray and white matter volumes could make the person more aware of the hopelessness of life in general and, therefore, induce alcohol consumption. ;-)
could you post the salary range?
The current[1] WAI-ARIA spec is to blame for not clearifying this intend. However, the W3C Editor's Draft of WAI-ARIA 1.3 of 26 October 2022 attempts to do so:

"In the cases where DOM content or a tooltip is undesirable, authors MAY set the accessible name of the element using aria-label, if the element does not prohibit use of the attribute. [...] Authors MUST NOT specify aria-label on an element which has an explicit or implicit WAI-ARIA role where aria-label is prohibited."[2]

Again, you say that like it's a fact. Gentlemens agreements can be broken with everyone. Low key bullying or lying about is not acceptable for anyone for gentlemen. You seem to have a misunderstanding what "gentlemen agreement" means. It's not limited to upper class men, or men at all. Everyone can have gentlemens agreements with anyone, it means "two or more people who implicitly agree on a thing".
It's also important how they're doing this. GMaps in my car constantly fails to show anything useful (or even start navigation) because there's no signal in my underground garage.

Such a simple thing and yet TomTom can do it and Google can't.
Get GDPRed into oblivion.
I don't know, here in UK they just seem to be barren, with major roads still missing, they don't know about "no right/left turn" signs in places, they don't know about one-way streets......it's not a good system.

I don't know how it can be using TomTom's data if TomTom doesn't have any of the same issues.
Salting exists for this reason.
It blows my mind that they have a proper team behind WT now (for a while now), and it has already (in my mind) surpassed MacOS Terminal (unchanged for years) and most of Linux Terminal Emulators.

If Microsoft can just get a proper team behind the other tech...
This is the underrated way.
And that's good, choice and competition is good. I honestly don't get when people of HN got so hateful and dismissive towards market competition.
They don't have anything to replace it with yet. They appear happy to leave it in place being buggy instead of removing it and really upset a lot of people.
Thirty years in the same job though? Presumably that's the criteria of the full 20?
Linking Winnie the Pooh to Xi Ping is not allowed, can we at least agree on that? How unacceptable from me to oversimplify things in short, obviously not researched, online forum comment.

Edit: A chinese resident confirmed that two links into the Quora page linked to above. Quora insists on Facebook or Google for me, so no linking.
My car's built-in navigation can use dead reckoning based on steering angle and wheel speed, so is still better than TomTom in this respect. I really think this person who is clinging to their old TomTom is a bit oblivious to what all the alternatives now do and how they do it better.

Familiar with trace quantities of Brutal Acrylate? How about 2-EH?

A number of days after the water receded from hurricane Harvey I didn't need an instrument to smell the lingering 2EH that had washed in with it. Probably from Bayport and reached as far away as at least Genoa.
Why so negative? OSM is now business critical to a lot of companies. These companies are of course being selfish. But the side effect of this is a lot of investment in the data and community itself.

Tom Tom have got their work cut out, this space is super competitive. Just passively taking the data is not a way to compete in this space. You need to step up to stand out. Tom Tom is doing this out of necessity. They've been active in this space for a long time but they are now getting a lot of competition from other companies; many of whom are pooling resources via open data efforts, like open street maps. That gives these companies a cost advantage because maintaining maps is an expensive business and the base map is now a free commodity.
What is the minimum amount of functionality that, in your opinion, would 'elevate' a site beyond 'simple content' territory?
Salts are a thing for this very reason. And some hashes like scrypt can be parametrized to take time no matter what.

There is no rainbow table entry for 0123456789+=i=i_fy82dnuf720g%2+70)(k$0@*qsijyn9&19n@1r0-l4ee) with 10000 scrypt rounds.

We are not in 2005 anymore, and we have better tools than md5, or even sha1 to do the job.
I noticed this as well, yes. I travel by train and the amount of people who sound sick is astonishing, lots of coworkers were sick in the last couple of weeks. Didn't get me yet, touch wood.
Maybe, but the cost means that it won't be the norm, they'll only actually exercise it when they really, really need to.
> how extraordinarily ugly the place is

First impression as well, but it's an aquired taste.
I don’t think it's actually a net benefit. Adding the wrong value degrades the experience.

I've seen links marked with `role=button` for no reason and generally roles added when one is implied (role=link is implied on anchors for example).

If aria attributes are treated as "private/testing API", then one wouldn't be surprised when the value only makes sense to bots and not humans.
Something still exists that is called CentOS, but as an upstream to rather than a downstream from RH, it’s not equivalent or even similar to what CentOS used to be.
New exoplanet detected with the ESPRESSO spectrograph
Not at all. I'm no great artist but I did about 440 episodes of a webcomic some years ago. That's hundreds of times what I'd need to train an AI on that style.

Now consider if I'd made that, trained the AI, and then DID NOT SHARE IT. Suddenly, I've got an AI thing that other people don't have (not directly, they can eventually have a second-order knockoff of it) made to express an intention that knockoffs won't have. So I'd have both the story to tell (hence the original training set) and the means to automate the creation of it.

You've already got artists/technicians making things like Clip Studio brushes, things that transform a stroke into a very different style or dump scatterings of clip art for texture. This is literally the same thing only way more sophisticated.

Just because you have a 'foliage brush' doesn't mean you can draw a woodland scene, it just makes the texture rendering trivial. Just because you can type 'woodland scene' doesn't make it a SCENE, it just makes the image rendering trivial. Does it serve a story purpose? What does the imagery do, beyond just existing?

The mere existence of 'imagery in X style' is rapidly going to become really boring. Once 'an image can look like anything at all' becomes commonplace, to be impressed by that will be about as sophisticated as being impressed that plastic is shiny. It becomes all about 'what did you do with it?' and that is where artists come in.

Why is the company paying pilots to not fly? Seems like bad business?
For emacs users this is equivalent to org-roam package
This is actually something what meaningfully trained AI could do today. I.e. you will give it a request in human language (Am I allowed to do X) and AI will search through laws and returns results like: According to law A you are allowed to do X and according to law B you are forbidden to do X, but law B is valid only under this or this condition.

Yeah that would simplify a lot of things.
Sorry yeah, I didn't really answer your question.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of schedulers for differing use cases:

https://slurm.schedmd.com/documentation.html << mostly batch, not entirely convinced it actually scales that well

https://rmanwiki.pixar.com/display/TRA/Tractor+2 << thats for the VFX crowd

https://www.opencue.io/ << open source which is vaguely related to the above

https://abelay.github.io/6828seminar/papers/hazelwood:ml.pdf << Facebook's version of airflow. It sits on top of two schedulers, so its not really a good fit. I can;t find what they publicly call their version of the borg

I'm assuming you've read about borg

SEEKING CO-FOUNDER | EdTech (XR and Digital Twin) | Technical Co-founder | Remote Worldwide | Pre-Seed

An Android based eXtended Reality(XR) edutainment platform for Space-themed educational content delivery using cloud technologies.

I have already talked to a few edutainment and Space-related companies and received positive feedback.

My background is in software engineering. But I will be putting most of my efforts into customer development. Hence I am looking for a technical co-founder with experience in Android XR, 3D graphics and related backend technologies such as Google Cloud's Immersive Stream for XR.

Please connect via gmail id ed.xr.dw and we can discuss further.
(Playing devil's advocate a bit): But is that not the premise and promise of Linux/*BSD - to provide a viable and free alternative to commercial Unix?

Semi-related: now that RedHat is an IBM entity, with the attendant deprecation of CentOS, I fund myself lumping RH into the "fully commercial Unix" mental category.
The "third parties" are usually Whatsapp users who have your phone number in their contacts on their phones (Whatsapp belongs to Facebook). This is how Whatsapp can automatically connect with everyone you have in the contact list.

So, if you do that, Whatsapp will stop working.
>And so I learned to play the piano on an instrument I never liked. An instrument that was forced upon me because it made practical and financial sense, not because I had any kind of emotional connection with it.

Seems like he's really into the instrument itself regardless of the joys or sorrows associated with pianos for him over basically his whole life.

Then later getting to pick out the ideal instrument for himself is rewarding in an incomparable way.

>And so, 35 years after starting

>such a long and tumultuous journey, I can safely say it was well worth the wait.

I don't think anybody could have said it better.

It's not a piano for me but I learned on an instrument that was not so likable because it was not even as realistic as a student model, it was an early imitation stage model instead. An instrument that was gifted to me because it made practical and financial sense, and that's just one of the things that helped build an emotional connection with it.
My kids loved using this on long walks in the neighborhood. Until we'd heavily trodden some paths and the only questions were about road surfaces and streetlamps :)
According research (just google is and look at the actual papers and the data set in them and how it was calculated), with the exception of properly worn high grade medical PPE, neither does masking.
Universal masking is little more than pointless hysterical hype.
Flimsy reused surgical masks, bandanas and home made cloth masks only look f-good in mathematical projections, never in the actual real world results.
No I am not posting research, look at it yourself, the ones posting any benefit come from mannequin head studies and mathematical results based on mathematical models from various lab projections.

Universal masking is actually embarrassingly ineffective.

Properly worn PPE ( like done in hospitals, takes 10 minutes to put on and will leave a mark on your face ) and Hazmats work pretty well though.

The shitty disposable surgical mask from slave labourers in india that you have kept in your pocket for 6 months does fuck all.
The messages shared as part of the trial don't show a particularly rigorous or deep level of thought regarding what to do with Twitter once he acquired it.

One would hope that still took place, but the haphazard approach so far doesn't provide much confidence that it did.
That’s just misuse of the word.
I've been using Purelymail for quite a while now and I've been happy with it.
It's simple: if you don't respect other's intellectual property, expect that no one respects yours, and if you give away for free what others sell for a living just because you have another source of income, expect the latter to be taken away from you too.

Truly it's a sad and ugly state of affairs these days.
That’s exactly why this is needed
The topic in general isn’t niche - Rimworld has shown that. The issues around UI and complexity are somewhat self inflicted.
> People aren't annoyed by federation.

I would go even further: people don't want to think about federation, for the most part. It doesn't matter whether I use Gmail, my company work email, or my own local email server; if I send an email to somebody, they'll receive it, regardless of what they're using. All I need is their email address.

A federated microblog needs to be just as accessible, imo — if I have to adapt my behaviour based on whether somebody is on the same server as me, that's a problem.
What Makes Us Lucid Dream
Indeed, it's a bit puzzling. In Hong Kong, people could freely choose between Sinovac and Comirnaty ("Pfizer" for most in the West, but "Fosun-BioNTech" to those in Hong Kong), both were widely available during the main vaccination drive. Roughly half choose Sinovac, anecdotally due to scare stories on social media at the time about the "experimental, unproven" mRNA tech vs the "traditional, tried and tested" inactivated virus tech of Sinovac.

The biggest COVID problem in Hong Kong (and also to a large extend in China) I gather is that the vaccination rate among the elderly was the lowest, which is a reversal from most other countries. That creates huge problems for hospitals, as the elderly are massively over-represented in COVID hospitalisations. It's not completely known why the elderly vaccination rate is relatively low, but I suspect misinformation and conspiracy stories (which proliferate just as much on the Chinese social media platforms as here on Facebook) is a significant contributor.
The Secret Life of Machines Remastered [video]
but to answer your further case. The point is you don't need to replace all the TOR switches. Only the ones that deal with high network IO.

to change protocol you need gateways/loadbalancers either at the edge of the DC just after the public end points, or in the "high speed" areas that are running high network IO. For that to work, you'll need to show its worth the engineering effort/maintenance/latency.
How to Be a Morning Person
I only say this in case anyone reads your message and gets the wrong idea. Currently, there is no feasible preimage attack for MD5. You can easily generate two colliding inputs, but cannot, given a hash, find an input to generate that hash.

And I don't believe that accidental MD5 collisions are something to worry about.

I'm curious which messenger options allow you to add a new device to receive and decrypt old messages? I don't think Signal allows it, and forward secrecy seems to be the standard for secure E2EE.

I do agree that can be a source of friction for users. And perhaps an encryption system that doesn't require forward secrecy would be enough for most.
In the way that the thing we used to call CentOS is gone. The brand still exists, but it now refers to something else.
> all pre CGI Tom and Jerry cartoons are works of art

You clearly haven't seen some of the Hanna-Barbera's later works. They weren't called "illustrated radio" without a reason.
The Power7 (2010) already had a very powerful prefetching engine (also programmable) able to detect a multitude of patterns/striding supporting even 12 different streams. Its design, composability and not only automatic detection but its programmability, allowing you to drive its behavior or change according to different computation phases made a fantastic piece of engineering for its time: https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg248079.pdf

Just pointing this out (there are several generations of Power's with improved design) as you mentioned memory controllers. The problem in the blog post is different (aliasing) and I guess that all I can say is that unless some randomness is introduced, every design will have a "worst" access pattern.
This has been a very helpful and explained very clearly and directly. Thank you. I'm having trouble keeping up with some of the comments in this thread but this one has been very illuminating.
What about differential equations?

Should we stop calling them that if we can't find the slope of an equation?
Maybe. Ambiguity means some random bags of bytes pass as more than one type.
Elite Universe Editor
Are there significant technical challenges with that? Doesn’t seem like there would/should be..

What a surprise. You might be right, but the onus is on you to provide evidence if you are challenging the status quo.
Why more people should write
I bought my 2009 Audi in 2014, it was missing some new roads and updates in my area, I approached the dealer about an update, they wanted €250 for the disc and €250 for the license key.
Same but I grew up in the Kazaa era.
Never pay for software.
> It's annoying to manage even as paid customer and wholly worse experience than just installing Debian.

All that is mostly solved with CentOS. I really don't get the people so upset about it.
That's my thought as well. Maybe they should just stop using phone numbers for discovery purposes.
> with major roads still missing

I really struggle to believe that. Major roads missing from Apple Maps? Can you give any examples?
Google Lens added to the Google․com homepage
No. The way to solve this is to recognize where the problem lies. The problem does not lie with storing user input. The problem lies with improperly putting strings in other data.

So all you need to do, is to do that properly. Either you commit to using constructs like paramtrized queries instead of concatenizing strings and use the DOM to put together HTML the way you want, or you escape as you concatenate the strings.

Don’t store escaped strings, it’s a recipe for disaster.
If the authors want to get paid, they need to choose a license wisely.
Is TomTom going to contribute back to OpenStreetMap?
How much constantly-waning reduction of viral load and symptoms do you think would be necessary to coerce a healthy person not exhibiting any risk factors for severe covid-related illness into subjecting themselves to experimental vaccines with admitted 1 in 20k (or higher) risks for certain severe adverse effects up to an including death?

When vaccine efficacy goes negative (you're more vulnerable to infection and become as or more symptomatic and carry as high or higher a viral load than unvaccinated) after a few months, you have to get a booster and subject yourself to the same or greater low, but non-negligible risk of known serious/fatal adverse effects in order to fingers crossed buy a few more months of protection you don't personally need but which you hope will reduce truly high-risk persons' chances of contracting covid. There may also be other, as-yet-unknown adverse effects.

How long are you willing to keep running back and forth across a minefield?
