> Personally, even if Chrome goes ahead with removing support I hope JPEG XL will "win" in the long run by being an attractive "universal" format for all other use-cases for image compression. So in other words: that it finds an ecosystem elsewhere, slowly takes over outside of the browsers, and then the browsers will adopt it after all.

Ah, like how Chrome delayed APNG so much that there was a dedicated extension for it? (https://github.com/davidmz/apng-chrome) Sadly the Chrome extension page was removed around June (I assume it's more of cleaning up obsolete extensions rather than something nefarious) but I have recovered its description here:

Support for animated PNG images in Google Chrome browser.

Chrome 59 now have native support of APNG, so you do not need this extension anymore. Goodbye, it was an interesting 6 years!

About APNG format: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APNG

This extension animates IMG elements. Also it animates background images/list style images from css styles (div style=&quot;…&quot;), but CSS images support may be incomplete.

You can prevent this extension from work on specific domains (Black List mode, default) or allowed it to work ONLY on specific domains (White List mode).

Source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/davidmz/apng-chrome

WARNING! CAPTCHA may not work on some sites because of this expansion (it is not always possible to correctly detect captcha images). If captcha does not work on some site, just (temporarily) disable the extension on the it.

----------------------------------
Latest notable changes:

3.0.0 (2016-09-12) IT WORKS AGAIN!!!

In Chrome 48 (Feb 2016) Google turns off getCSSCanvasContext API. It was the critical part of extension, and within six months the Chrome has no technologies to animate images. Fortunately, it has changed recently and now this extension works again.

In version 3 algorithm was changed from canvas animation to APNG → animated WebP conversion.

2.1.4 (2014-11-28) Fixed some incorrect captcha images.

2.1.2 (2014-01-15) Better Reddit support.

2.1.0 (2014-01-12) Partial Reddit emotes support.

2.0.7 (2014-01-12) Redirects support.

2.0.4 (2013-05-26) Ext. was broken because of bug 238071 in Chrome 27. Fixed it.

2.0.3 (2013-03-19) Fixed bug with images with &#39;auto&#39; height/width in style.

2.0.0 (2012-10-01) Most of the code rewritten. CSS background/list animations is turned off (except inline styles). Fixed slow work in some sites (g+, gmail and so on).

0.7.1 (2012-04-07) animated-gif-captcha images support (strange captchas of wedge.org)

0.7.0 (2011-08-03) fix for facepunch.com (perhaps the only site where this extension is actually used:))

0.6.9 (2011-07-14) data: url support, fixes for google maps images

0.6.8 (2011-07-09) fixed bug with CAPTCHA images

0.6.7 (2011-07-03) support for list-style-images

0.6.6 (2011-06-30) tracking changes in image's 'src'

0.6.2 (2011-06-30) background-image animation for internal and external CSS

> You're not crazy, just willfully narrow-minded. How does your theory explain the inflation seen all around the world, including in countries with vastly different Covid policies? Take Sweden, no lockdowns at all, but the economy still slowed down due to people making different choices. However there were no mass layoffs and no "checks for doing nothing". Still, inflation is at 10%.

Energy and the USD, mainly. In Europe inflation is high primarily because of energy costs. Local currencies are also down 10-20% vs the USD and Europe imports a lot of stuff in dollars. That said, I'm not sure about the exact breakdown of inflation in Sweden specifically so I can only comment generally.

I also add that domestic stimulus measures in the US (both monetary and fiscal) have a significant global impact today. If demand for oil or other commodities rise in the US then they do in markets around the world too. Excessively reckless monetary and fiscal stimulus in the US combined with today's reckless tightening is causing havoc in developing markets around the world.

lol just want to add that KISS stands for 'Keep it simple, stupid'
They're paying severance, bonus, healthcare, etc which is the only way to do an ethical layoff. CEOs that wait until the last minute to do layoffs and then pay little to no severance are shitty people, and no one should trust to work for them ever again. CEOs that provide a softer landing for laid off employees should be rewarded by not having their reputations destroyed in the mind of current and prospective employees. It's a display of ethics and competence.

> Python had nothing comparable

This is in part why we built Darts. Now I think we can say the situation is quite different. Darts offers many things offered by the R forecast package, and then some (for instance the ability to train ML models on large datasets made of multiple potentially high-dimensional series).
- 14 weeks severance

- 2022 bonus and PTO paid out

- accelerated vesting

- 6 months of healthcare.

This is a phenomenal severance package and I hope one that will set the standard for companies doing layoffs. So many companies in the US do two weeks or less, with nothing else (not even healthcare) or even use it to claw back shares.
There are rarely if ever any serious consequences to top execs screwing up wealthy companies.

Such execs are usually already so wealthy that they never have to work another day in their life, no matter what happens or how much they screw up.

They can always find other prestigious, high paid jobs, and sometimes even get rewarded with huge amounts of money from the very companies they screwed over.

Apparently I may be able to fix this if I try some soldering, but I'm an inexperienced solderer...
Transferring a high performer often implies laying off another person in the target team.

The time to do that would have been in a reorg (Stripe's philosophy for that is at https://stripe.com/guides/atlas/organizations-and-hypergrowt... ) prior to layoffs.

During a layoff, if you want to transfer to a different team, apply for a job on that team if they've still got some open headcount.

There's way way more censorship on Reddit than I think more people realize. Mods shadow delete your post so you can still see it but no one else does. Unless you have a habit of logging out and checking you won't notice when a post gets deleted.

Mostly quit Reddit when I realized about 5% of my posts were shadow deleted for holding the wrong opinion.
Society is a closed system, twitter is not outside of society.

The people on twitter are real people (well, mostly, probably), and have real political opinions.

If you talk to people, by and large they'll profess moderate opinions, because in person discussions still trigger politeness and non-confrontational emotions in most people, so the default 'safe' thing to say is the moderate choice, no matter what their true opinion happens to be.

The internet allows people to take the proverbial mask off.

Yeah, no, seriously. In Alibaba, in the hallway, you would be able to find several camping tents, gender-separated so that folks can go to sleep, not at night, but middle of the day after lunch. Sleeping in Asia is quite common. People stay over at the campus all the time.

I bought a Big Brand Flagship Phone (tm), the Samsung Galaxy S9, in 2018. They stopped upgrading the OS with new functionality in 2020 only two years after its release, and this year they stopped providing security updates!

Considering how much functionality and information is on that phone that could affect my life in absolutely fantastically negative ways if it was hacked (online accounts including owned licenses for software, banking), I have little choice but to buy a new phone now, even though the hardware is more than adequate for my needs and even though new phones don't really do much more much better.

Planned obsolescence, or whatever you prefer to call it, really drives this behaviour.

They have some major differences. Enough so that I first tried Duplicati and ran into corruption issues so frequently that I sought out an alternative and luckily found Duplicacy.

Duplicacy has been stable for years now and I gladly pay the commercial license. It seemed like Duplicacy constructs a giant DB of all the files and manages everything that way, whereas Duplicacy's approach is much simpler and is less prone to corruption. The large DB approach seems to fail when the backup set contains a large number of files that many users manage.
It works with such high efficiency because we know how to place content in advance, and the catalog is relatively small. Trying to serve 800Gbps of YouTube content would be a nightmare.
Seeing as several folks have recommended the Amazfit Bip as an alternative, and I’m considering getting one, I’m wondering if anyone who owns one can comment on: 1. How well it plays with iPhone and 2. Do you have any privacy concerns? I don’t know much about Amazfit as a company.
What you're saying is that we should optimise the way we debate things to please the algorithm and maximise user engagement instead of maximising quality content and encouraging deep reflexions

The truth is people can't focus for more than 15 seconds so instead of reading a well researched and deep article or book that might offer sources, nuances, &c. they'll click "like" and "retweet" whoever vomited something that remotely goes their way while ignoring the rest

> If you ignore it and read it as an entire text it is not very different from a regular article or long form comment

It is extremely different as each piece is written as a independent 10s thought ready to be consumed and retweeted. Reading it on threadreaderapp makes it even more obvious, your brain need to work 300% harder to process the semi incoherent flow, some blogs written by 15 years old are more coherent and pleasant to read than this

"With the former you’d expect a normal distribution (not uniform) due to the central limit theorem"

You'd expect it, but in the real world you'd be extremely frequently wrong. Correlations in the real world very frequently end up defeating the central limit theorem in practice.

The central limit theorem, being a mathematical thing, is correct; it can't be "wrong". However, while adding together a lot of distributions will absolutely trend towards a normal distribution, it does not make very many promises about how "quickly" that will happen. In practice the real world is filled with the sort of pathologies that result in it being "very slow". Scare quoting some words here because they are rather vague in math terms and I feel bad about that, but putting real mathematical meat behind them would be beyond the scope of an HN post. Many, many, many things are not normal that "should" be, and you can make some grave mistakes in the real world if you overestimate the normality of real world distribution. I recommend Taleb's works here, if you need more details.
Intel 13th Gen Review
There is quite literally a difference between selling a cat to your friend and selling it to a business that makes money liquidating cats (this sentence is actually humorous if you dont know what cat is short for...).

I have no interest in stopping Joe from selling to Bob, or going on craigslist and selling his wares if he, for some reason, has figured out a way to manufacturer with rare earth metals in his garage. Though I think this is a bit of a stretch of the normal argument. First, because catalytic converters are exceedingly hard to create. Second, because the profit is not in arbitrage but rather theft. Making a catalytic converter is very expensive. There are only a dozen or so companies with the infrastructure to make them at a scale that is profitable. Hence, if we could magically wish away cat theft it would not be remotely profitable to do some kind of rare earth arbitrage by the books. So, ipso facto, it is a good place to enforce at the very least a minimum amount of KYC with associated punishments when third party sales to businesses who do this sort of thing is involved.

I understand the arguments from the other side are the same arguments made for the KYC surrounding the $10,000 withdrawal limit to "stop drug money". I disagree with that kind of KYC. When in 99% cases they are ill gotten gains there must be something done because the alternative is foisting the cost ($300-$XXXX dollars) onto the innocent and throwing your hands up. Worse yet, it's not a one time cost and these criminals, undeterred, will simply return to steal the new one as well. This is no way to treat law abiding citizens.
Whether this distinction matters entirely depends on what your end goal is for which you want reproducible builds.

Besides, it's not a problem that Cargo alone can solve. At the end of the day it's picking up code from a git repo, and how you produced the code in that repo is not something it could control.
> There are the nihilistic forms of protest such as the people who are attacking paintings in museums to protest climate change.

So as somebody who noticed this bit of drama, and looked into it, I can explain. It's actually all very simple. Here goes:

It's a stunt!

Yup, they say that much. They tried protesting, they tried blocking roads, but were making page 10 of the newspaper. So they came out with some dramatic, outrageous plan that they knew wouldn't do harm (they planned this well in advance, and glued themselves to glass, not to the actual painting) but would be weird enough for people to talk about it. Plus there's a degree of symbolism in it.

> (Why don't they blow up a gas station?)

Because you can't protest oil infrastructure in any effective way. Blow up something? That's terrorism. Glue yourself to a gas pump? You'll get insulted and probably dragged off, plus gas stations are kind of meaningless and replaceable and often not anywhere very interesting. Protest at oil infrastructure? It's typically remotely located, and secured. You won't be noticed before you're removed. Block Shell's HQ? Good luck blocking a huge building with multiple entrances and security.

Point being there's nothing oil related I can think of where you could cause some sort of disturbance, quickly get attention, have the press get to you before you got forcefully removed from there, and have the story be interesting enough to have a prominent place in the news.
I always see gifts as recommendations. You don't need to have expertise to know about something that is more valuable than expected and that the person would not have bought for themselves. And the best gifts that I (or others around me) have received are things that turned out better than expected.

>>but there's overwhelming evidence that that's what AOC is exposed

No there really is not because she and many others have the habitat of calling all criticism "harassment", and then posting a couple of example many of which are not even harassment

>no one has an ethical obligation to make themselves endure racist and misogynist abuse.

Sure, but we would first need to settle on a definition of what is "racist" and "misogynist" because if you use AOC definition of those word I can assure you we do not agree on what would be considered "racist" and "misogynist", because AOC thinks someone saying "We need strong border security" is racist.
Ah. It all makes sense now. It is cheaper for them to layoff with a decent 3 month severance than it is to pay high interest on the debt that is funding their salaries (interest rate will stay high > 1 year, going by Powell’s comments).

I am glad they did it transparently, but I wish they had been more open about this fact. Shifts the entire perspective IMO.
Yup, that's what I meant by "diurnal hormones". Personally I'd still guess there's an effect there, it's just so swamped by the c-section surgery nothing else is visible.

If you're bringing that up, then this is the place to spread the word about my dream of a stdmeta file descriptor.

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/197809/propose-addi...

Just like we have stdout and stderr, header lines such as those produced by `ps` should be printed to stdmeta. Curl is the worse offender here, outputing meta lines to stderr instead of stdout. A stdmeta file descriptor would make it clear what is data, what is an error, and what is _describing_ the data.
> Apple relies heavily on peer pressure, status, and perception to compel people to upgrade their devices at regular intervals by continually making minor aesthetic changes to the device such that it's apparent to others at a glance the vintage of your kit.

I would argue that what you are describing is actually the relentless March of technological advancement. Look at the quality of the cameras and processors 2-3 generations apart and tell me again with a straight face that Apple is riding on peer pressure to entice people to buy the new generation. It’s bullshit - they keep iterating on dozens and dozens of features and improving generation by generation. The average user doesn’t need to upgrade every year - nor do they! - but doing so every 3-5 years yields massive benefits in terms of technological advancement.

The stock market didn’t really decline. There was a speculative play at the beginning of the pandemic that allowed the shitheads that run that game to do a reallocation of capital from “pandemic hit” industries to tech. That’s why tech ballooned to stupid levels. I say speculative because while it may have been right to reallocate away from, say, Airlines stocks, there was no good reason to run up tech to those absurd levels.

Tech didn’t get hit by interest rates, it’s just a reallocation of that influx of money back to other sectors. People didn’t stop using tech. Now they reallocated out of tech (the way it was supposed to be around 2019), and all these shithead companies are saying “we’re fucked, our stock tanked”. No, your stock went back to healthy levels, your stock was just a bank for two years, that’s all.
