OP I read your text. As an teacher of VFX in an (european) art university let me give you a few tips:

You are only 20. You should not worry about your age at all.

Art school is ¼ about the skills and tricks you learn there, ¼ about being forced to put something in front of others who won't be wooed by fancy eye candy, ¼ about creating and finding a network of people and ¼ being exposed to other styles of art. Some of those things are influenced by the size and location of the art school, some of those are influenced by how much time you can spend with your collegues and at exhibitions or similar. Make sure to go to a school, where people are better than you. Going there just to learn the handywork is a waste of time. You should go there to learn the skills AND to create a network that can help you get jobs after. Feel free to take on work during your studies.

Also: The things that matter when doing great art are mostly about the brain. And the ability to see the right way takes time to develope. Make sure to do something daily. Maybe a daily comic strip, a daily drawing or whatever. Put it online so you are forced to never skip a day.
We would love that. The problem is that only Illustrator leaves text as text and images as images — all the others except Inkscape convert text and images into data that's no longer searchable.

With Inkscape, the issue is that AFAIK it's not fully scriptable, making it complicated to use with Svija, and there is not a big user base (I've tried unsuccessfully to get real numbers, so I'm judging by participation in SVG forums, things like that).
i definitely agree with you, but I think the point of this exercise is to demonstrate how container images operate (i.e. a rootfs with alterations on top, applied via essentially a recursive untar)
Very nice.

I am definitely dismissive of the benefits of work that obfuscates or conceals the most concrete piece of information I require to know what site I am on: the complete URL, including schema, that I have been looking at on every single web page I visit since the early 90's.

IMO when a browser vendor does something like this, I'm not in a rush to sit there and read all their blog posts and give huge consideration to yet another megacorp imposing their will upon me. I just don't want my URL hidden, and I will definitely turn off features like this where possible. (n.b. I don't use Chrome, so its irrelevant for me)

Interesting. http "not secure", but I bet every piece of malware delivered to a user's machine via browser exploit was delivered on an https URL...

BTW, you make some assertions about the feature being more useful for average users -- can you provide any links/documents about this? I am very skeptical, though you are under no obligation to convince me (don't spend the time finding link(s) unless you specifically feel like it). I'd be curious, because I even feel doubtful that there's any solid measurement indicating hiding part of the URL has actually benefited anyone.
You’ve read too much into what I’ve said and taken too much offense. Text is hard so I don’t blame you. “retiring and doing art” is an absurdly simplistic path to point someone towards and it’s not helpful to anyone who wants to actually create anything at all. And it probably doesn’t work in most cases.

“It’s what I’ve done!”
In a past life the most “fun” I had as a developer on a CAD file processing solution was discovering that engineers loved linking Excel sheets to the CAD files so crucial calculations could be done there. And then having to make this work on Linux servers.
It is SVG — it's in <tspan> elements:

tbf, he could have also built the rootfs from source, though that takes a lot longer
As a general answer to that question, syntax is often under-valued.

We didnt get whole fields of mathematics until a clear syntax was developed; and likewise, what patterns of thinking a syntax affords makes a big difference to the designs one chooses.

The effect is bigger when writing not writing "glue code". The goal of threading data through libraries and applying simple business rules to it is a kind of problem best solved by existing mainstream syntaxes.

That doesn't mean, as is often implicitly assumed, that therefore all syntax is basically equivalent.
It's an ugly situation. DNS seems like the wrong way to do load balancing. Meanwhile web browsers seem to have decided that it's a great idea to send out DNS requests for every domain on a web page (of which there are dozens, thanks to adtech, CDNs and other stuff.)
But, where is the dragon?
wow! I didn't know it's possible to seize domains!
> So git is to github as (chroot/cgroups/unionfs) is to docker et all?

You could do docker-alike runtime things with lxc and e.g. squashfs filesystems. That is IMHO a good signal to say it's not the tech.

I see it more as developer workflows. Github looked at git and LKML working model and put that into a centralized UI. The revolution was individual contribution (not teams) and personal repositories. (Does anyone remember the other scm hosting tools before? I remember running some open source sorceforge alike thing)

Docker took all the pieces before you could run a container and made those easy to achieve (building, sharing, pulling, ...).

That's developer workflows.
It's very easy to think up balanced reactions that are completely nonsensical and the reason for that is hidden deep in quantum realm.
> We had to completely abandon Docker for Ruby on Rails because the performance was absolutely abysmal, even with VirtioFS enabled.

can you share more details on this? not sure I get how any kind of VirtioFS comes into the game here
How does buying glasses online even work? I have never tried, so I'd expect it to be like buying shoes without trying them on (which I won't do either, based on in-store experience I'd be returning 9 pairs out of 10 for bad fit).

I wear glasses for 95% of time, I want to not hate how they feel.

> I strongly recommend going back and watching some of the 15 years ago Clone Wars to re-asses that observation

Clone Wars was exactly what I was referring to, and upon your recommendation I did a side-by-side comparison, and you're definitely right about the quality. The general rendering quality (especially the environments) have not only improved from a technical standpoint, but it's also clear that more care has been put into the work.

I guess my only complaint is the reuse of the style from the Clone Wars series. To play devil's advocate to myself, I didn't really follow Clone Wars. I was only aware of it. I can imagine that long time fans would be happy to see the style continue.

Edit: typo
After studying this topic intensely for my own sake, I'd say it is more common than you thought because childhood trauma is more common than you think.

It can even be minor, little things that can cause memory splits in children for survival sake. These splits set the ground for future splits.

Does anyone have any experience with Joplin[0] as an alternative? I'm looking into using SyncThing + Joplin to create a sort of 'networked personal brain'. I was originally looking at Obsidian, but the arguments on why they chose not to go FOSS are pretty weak[2] imo, so I'm looking at using Joplin instead.

Are we talking about work or marriage? If someone wants to interrupt another person's work, they should be gracious enough to first try obvious suggestions and explain why that didn't solve the problem. Just listening is great in personal relationships when the focus is on the journey rather than the destination.
It does not. Right now, Svija only supports effects that can be created within Adobe Illustrator.

From what I have seen, these kinds of effects are easy to reproduce with regular Illustrator effects. It might be interesting in more advanced animation to change the lighting with other movement.

I am a CTO of a seed round startup and would love to learn from how fast other startups scale up their engineering teams. I understand there are so many factors at play here (industry, funding size, growth rate), but it would be great to get some frame of reference.

Has anyone tried using software to measure bit-flip rates on non-ECC systems? It seems like a pretty easy task. Turn off swap. Fill a bunch of memory with a known pattern. Every few hours read all the memory and verify that no bits were flipped. If the 2009 result holds on modern systems and a gigabyte of DRAM flips a bit every few hours, then evidence should show up pretty quickly.

Please point to such content on Instagram. Instagram has the same qualities you ascribe to TikTok but the only difference is you cannot point to a chinese boogeyman.

>happily allows Bytedance to export it.

This is nonsense. TikTok produced crap is produced locally. It's not Chinese influencers generating "vapid shallow trash"; and if Tiktok were banned Instagram would happily vacuum up those creators onto Reels. Revenge for the opium wars? My friend, we are doing this to ourselves. It's not the CCP's fault that America has resigned itself to algorithmic ad-driven content. We invented those algorithms.

Instagram is not going to be any less vapid just because it's run by Americans.

And yet most of that doesn't matter, because you almost always have local resolvers that do cache properly.
I understood that — my answer was a bit clumsy.

The page doesn't actually suggest that you click on the buttons — they're just buttons (except for one, where it says "click here").

To me it seemed natural to hold down the button until the effect finished, and now I'm wondering if it's a difference between trackpad and mouse users.

I use a trackpad, and it's a relatively slow operation to click. I don't have a mouse handy, but it seems like it would be much quicker.

I will ask some of our testers what they think.
Yes those phones sell well in Europe. In fact I got the list by looking at top selling phones on some online retailers like Amazon.

Most of them aren’t very good you’re right, but most people aren’t willing to pay more. Keep in mind that the north in most of Europe is to pay for the unlocked phone upfront, not finance it though the carrier.

And the SE is €200 more expensive than the Pixel 6A as I detailed. Not even the same ballpark.
I think that podman on rhel/fedora also 'uses selinux' to confine containers.
And yet if you don’t have an audience, what is the point? Even the most outsider artists managed to gather a following some way or the other. It isn’t just happenstance.
$2 is cheap, but the best glasses I've ever bought start at $6, up to $30 for all the filters, so I'm not surprised you can buy something useful for $2.
It is not like average teenager understood those in 1950 however. And it is not even the case that kids today were less educated either.

You have today individual kids doing leetcode on pretty high level. You have then doing a lot of stuff, but it is different stuff. Meanwhile radio and circuits are not cool anymore nor new anymore. Comparably less people is even interested.
Typo in an official AWS URL; who/how to notify?
The word “comparison” is misspelled in the last word of the URL. I submitted feedback using the contact form at https://support.console.aws.amazon.com/support/homes last week and haven’t heard back. Any suggestions? I just have the Basic support plan, so no technical support.
Something to help appreciate the relation of science to youth culture in the 1950s is the popularity of sci-fi movies. Aside from rare exceptions like Destination Moon (1950), 1950s sci-fi was produced with no pedagogic intent. Studios churned out these movies because science (okay, sci-fi) was what attracted the teen market. In the 1960s, teen tastes shifted to horror and the film studios followed.

If you are interested in 1950s American sci-fi cinema, the comprehensive survey is Bill Warren's Keep Watching the Skies!: American Science Fiction Movies of the Fifties (2016).
Instead, bored teenagers do potentially deadly TikTok challenges.

That happens when you forbid everything that seems dangerous.
Given the recent events of the last 24 hours, what's your updated view on this?
Yes, when I was a child, I also have made a large number of chemical experiments, guided by the many old books and magazines describing chemical experiments that were available by then.

Those have been among the most memorable events of my childhood, along with building various simple electronic devices. Both kinds of activities had a major influence on my later professional education.

I agree with the parent article that this seems much more difficult to do now, at least casually, unless you are already very committed to attempt to do such things and to circumvent any obstacles.
I agree, and in fact I only added this feature because a client requested it ;-) but I'm glad it did because it can be fun if it's done right.

It can be very user-hostile, and reminds me of criticisms of Flash.

I obviously can't control what our users will do, but my own guiding principle is that the user should always feel in absolute control of the page. I've been to so many sites where there's essentially a small movie that you scrub through by scrolling, and it makes it impossible to navigate normally or jump to the content you want.
You are exactly right and the pitfalls you talk about are common to all dynamically typed languages.
Congrats for the launch! I'm currently building FHIR adapter for my startup and this product is making me super excited.
Who the f is this... making a downright suspicious amount of sense.
Just like anything you can shop around and get a good deal.

In the UK I use glasses direct, you can pick up a pair with a prescription for £50. They regularly have discount codes so most of the time that would be £35/40. Sure they aren't designer but they look ok for the price if you don't want to spend a lot, if you use them just got driving you can probably get an even cheaper pair that don't look as good.

python is used widely in animation and vfx. why not both?
https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

Of course, in the real world it doesn't really matter. Both are used in places where performance doesn't really matter as long as they're fast enough. But anyone with experience with both knows they're both slow (well, some Python fanboys try to pretend otherwise).
Imagine a touch screen e-stop in a machine shop.
Evolution takes time. We'll get there eventually if we don't kill ourselves off first. I'm increasingly thinking genetic engineering might not be so bad after all. Between our swiftly changing diet, lifestyle, and environment we may not have the luxury of doing things the traditional way. If we were able to do things like make sure our next generation was born with the ability to filter PFAS and microplastics from their blood they could at least drink the water on our planet without poisoning themselves.
I wish you the best man, fucking awesome.

Ask HN: Anyone interested in working on projects related to social causes?
I am a software engineer and want to form a group of like-minded software engineers to work on something that will make a difference on a massive scale (not immediately, but over a period). Moonshot ideas are not off-limits.

I have two ideas, but open to ideas from other engineers. We can bounce ideas across and decide what to work on as a group.

Reminds me of the time I found out that golf balls and eink screens are also a "secret monopoly" kept by highly litigatious patents.
great story, for me another interesting part is that lots of those tools/utils used in their dev work were copied from that dude's home, surely that is very reproducible & auditable.

That is true, and something that I just realized by watching some Chem YTbers

Because it's like "oh look, this works like this, ok"? Then something similar doesn't work. Or works in a different way. "Oh just try the $guys_name reaction" ah yes because this guy discovered that you could do it like that (which is not a really intuitive way)

Oh look, this is actually simple to try at home. But if you try this other thing that might look similar it can kill you in a horrible way...
This is called transclusion.
Ah man... I mean, at no time did I indicate or suggest how Safe Browsing works. What I communicated to the world is that I am making a totally subjective judgement of a feature, perhaps totally ignorantly, without any suggestion of correlation with reality. For some reason, you missed this subtlety of me saying "I assume [thing does blah]". I'm not out here trying to convince anyone that Safe Browsing does bad things. I pretty clearly said I, myself, in my own head, made a subjective decision about the feature. That's all I said! Come back to this thread in a day or month or year and realize I was pretty forthright/honest and communicating in good faith the entire time.

> Wait, why can't you just do this in software? Is your software really that bad?

Fly-by-wire in airplanes is pretty good, but it still has its problems, and a lot of verification work goes into it, probably more than embedded Windows.
They said "...a browser with ublock origin.." uBlock Origin is a content blocker that would help prevent tracking.
> Depends on the app; I expect, for instance, market apps (Amazon, Walmart, etc.) to watch the user's every move to try and better model the user's mental state in an effort to get them to buy stuff that they wouldn't have done otherwise.

Not being funny but I think you’re vastly overestimating the capabilities of most engineering teams.

Anyone going “just use low TTLs all the time” doesn’t have a lot of traffic to deal with.

I have a commit of ~15bn queries/month with my DNS provider ATM, and if just one busy record has its TTL set erroneously low, it can cost an extra few thousand $ a month in overages. It’s not a great conversation to have with the CFO when that happens. Caching matters.
Because it doesn't seem like I'm going to get a response to this, I'll walk down the rest of the logic for completeness's sake.

I think we can both agree that "all unnecessary tracking is unethical" doesn't make sense and leads to insane conclusions like "all Nginx users with IP addresses in their logs are participating in unethical tracking".

So we're back to square one, where someone needs to demonstrate this type of tracking is actually unethical. So far we've got "all tracking ever is unethical" and "all tracking not necessary for function is unethical", but both of those seem to be dead ends.
Much like subdomains, you could use a namespace you control for all local work as well. Name all your images “yourname/actualimagename”. At worst, you pull in an image of yours from remote.

The analogy comes from local subdomains. Use “home.yourname.com” and your dns server can be set to never look this up in upstream servers and resolve it locally. No accidental leakage anymore.
Capitalism stops working when monopolies take over markets.

It is urgently needed to break up all the monopolies and go back to healthy competition.

Many problems that we see in society today come from power accumulation in a few hands. The economy is becoming an authoritarian power.

Kill monopolies and growth will come back in full force. People is not out of ideas, it is just that companies do not care anymore because they have their market share assured.
If I remember correctly Joplin doesn't like you to keep your own file structure for your markdown notes, it has some kind of a alphanumeric representation which obfuscates the original structure.
I'm glad to read that, even though I'm not affiliated with Zoho. Probably because they're not a part of the pump and dump schemes and also their products are pretty straightforward (not focussing on shiny bells and whistles).

Which Zoho product are you using btw? I'm using mail and I sometimes do experience the occasional bug.
>The urban legend that DNS-based load balancing depends on TTLs (it doesn’t).

It does. You need to get loaded servers out of what's being advertised. The only way to do this is with a TTL.
Our plan is not to do responsive design — Svija is really meant for designers, and for any content that requires real design, there will need to be separate versions for mobile and desktop anyway.

Part of what's fun about Svija is that you can design content very rapidly, since the page is an exact reflection of the Illustrator file.

I suspect that introducing responsive aspects would break that experience. However, we will be producing a page editor at some point in the future and when that day arrives we'll be looking into how best to handle these issues.

Right now, with Illustrator as an editor, it's just not possible.

Svija works by sending the smallest configured page (the mobile version) for the first request then checking the browser. If it's a bigger window, then the page is reloaded and only the correct version is sent for any future requests.

I want to be clear that I am not saying that all sites should be built this way — Svija is an experiment to see if this makes sense.
I think the argument here is that tracking how users interact with an app isn’t necessarily private information
