If you're not set on a laser printer have a look at the epson ecotank range. You can literally just fill up the tank in the printer with ink and there are 3rd party inks available for a fraction for the price of 1st party refills. We have one that we have "converted" to a sublimation printer simply by filling it's tanks with sublimation ink. It's capable of some impressive results https://imgur.com/a/QTyDPu8
TLS itself has no opinion about how certificates work. AFAIK it would be totally fine by the standard to put a JPEG photo of a your primary school certificate for 10m swimming where certificate goes in the protocol. If the other party is OK with your proof that you can swim to secure the connection, all is good.

Netscape invented all this stuff in the 1990s as SSL. Turns out you need a PKI to make it work, because of a tricky edge case which otherwise makes the whole thing worthless. So, they used the existing but little used X.509 PKI left over from the X.500 directory work, even though the Internet is not part of the envisioned global network X.500 is for. The X.509 PKI had a bunch of famous brand "trustworthy" companies minting certificates.

PKIX, an IETF working group to figure out how to force X.509 to be suitable for the Internet, adds stuff like SANs (Subject Alternative Names, a way to express Internet ideas about naming like IP addresses and DNS names) but that all happens after SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0 and people start writing https URLs.
I've tried LastPass, 1password, and Bitwarden. Bitwarden has been my favorite as I can selfhost it if I want (open source fork with feature parity)
The "it just works" argument is what keeps me using an iPhone, even though my computers and servers all run Linux.

Years ago, I replaced my trusty Nokia 6310 with an O2 XDA phone. It ran Windows CE, routinely crashed or froze and would be unable to make or receive calls. Since then, I've always wanted a phone that just works. The iPhone is the nearest thing to that for me.
Scratch maybe or GameSalad?

Of course it's because he is connected, is on "the same team" and gave them all money. What else is there to understand? Isn't that enough of an explanation?
I'd like to see more patterns than just different sized rows.

What would a polygon packing algorithm produce? Say constrain all stars be equal size, but as large as possible.
People keep saying Google reads your emails (even when Google explicitly says otherwise), but have no proof, and trust Apple's words as the gospel of truth - how strange. It's almost as if it's fashionable to criticize them.

This is on Gmail's homepage:

"We never use your Gmail content for any ads purposes.
Gmail uses industry-leading encryption for all messages you receive and send. We never use your Gmail content to personalize ads."
I would guess Scratch as that is what schools use, even from 6 years old.
Most important thing is the environment that allows you instant feedback when developing, which means just one thing:

Ability to run the whole product no your Laptop/in docker and have INSTANT RELOAD, you change something and test it in <5 seconds.

Tests/CI etc can be run when feature is complete and you are making a PR.

IIRC the attitude was that the "ASCII" versions of functions largely existed only for backwards compatibility, after all on NT[1] they're basically just wrappers that do character set conversion before passing through to the real Unicode (UCS2/UTF16) functions. The view was that if you want Unicode, you should use the real functions directly, which means 16 bit strings.

I think there was also some compatibility concerns, as Windows for a while only had a single global "ASCII" character set used by all apps[2], so you'd have issues with actual legacy apps expecting a real legacy code page breaking / having scrambled text if you tried to use UTF8 as the "legacy" encoding. Or the fun idea of an app that is clever enough to know that multibyte exists, but dumb enough to know they can only be one or two bytes long, and allocating buffers accordingly. I think there might have been some issues with how things like the clipboard handled text as well that assumed all "ASCII" apps used the same encoding. (Disclaimed: old memories of reading blogs, may be bollocks). At some point things must have been fixed so multiple character sets could be used though.

[1] But not on 9x, which was "ASCII" only, at least until late in the day when a Unicode compatibility library was created.

[2] The "Language for non-Unicode programs" as the Control Panel calls it.
I feel like you're confusing it with UTF-32, which is fixed-length. UTF-16 is neither fixed-length, like UTF-32, nor compatible with the old ASCII encoding, like UTF-8.

The historical reasons of why UTF-16 exists are fully understandable, but by now it is clear that it's the worst of both worlds.

It's a good thing they had unlocked boot loaders then, or you would not have had any option to remove the malware.
It's not just about the jury. Public opinion motivates and incentives all actors, from prosecutors, regulators and judges.
The Fire tablets are a parody: Expensive, no GPS, 2MP and 5MP cameras and they can change anytime the availability of functions and apps even depending of country. And all this for 234 €.
True, and "circumstances" basically means "if and only if we are taking about arrays of primitives". Outside of specific niches like http clients, I'd go so far as considering code written to deliberately tap those performance benefits as "written by people who ceased to be java developers" ;)

I love the abstract stuff gallery! How do you go about creating one of these? I can't even imagine.
I wonder if the distribution/import costs would be offset by the wage cost?
Legacy reasons I guess. If browsers didn’t already exist. There is no way apple would have allowed them.

I don't buy the privacy policy stuff, using the ATT prompt to access IDFA can still require user consent.
I’m pretty disappointed by this outcome. I read the entire thread. If you skim the thread and just read the sensational responses then it paints a pretty grim narrative of a CA that cant be transparent. But if you actually read Rachel’s responses she responds to every single accusation several times over. Yeah it’s a word swamp to wade through and the repeated context was annoying, but her company is under attack… what would you do? Would you not try to provide as much rebuttal as possible?

It’s pretty… idk… irreverent to take the stance: oh gosh look at this person squirming under pressure to defend themselves why would they do that they must be guilty and malicious. I can smell it! It really feels like a perversely inappropriate forum for discussing a complicated issue like that. Rachel wasn’t trying to deceive so much as she was tying to set guidelines for appropriate review of the material at hand. And then the comment at the end to her when she was simply trying to make sure the transition happens cordially without breaking existing certificates as seems is the intention, “why does Microsoft need to answer to you?”, is just snotty on a whole new level. Honestly it makes me think we need special courts and some sort of process to handle this stuff because people don’t have time to… process.

I am probably in the minority here, but I can’t help but feel like Rachel was a victim of a sloppy but effective smear campaign. I suspect the outcome would have been different if this was handled in a court of law.
There wouldn’t be much science. It would definitely just vanish.
> I personally don't like it and will not stop buying apple phones. The CPU's on an iPhone are far ahead of Android. I could buy either the Pixel 4 or the iPhone 11 for the same $450 price a month after launch from my carrier.

Sounds like you like it to me. You are directly funding whatever you think you "don't like" Apple is doing.
> circumstantial evidence, but nothing that was definitive

CAs should be assumed guilty until proven otherwise.
>See, GIMP doesn't have the means to steal colors from work you've already done, and you don't have to rent it.

Yeah, because with GIMP, you can't use Pantone colors to begin with :)

I like and use GIMP, but the color issue is a misrepresentation. Mainly because I don't imagine that 99% of the Photoshop users ever touched the Pantone stuff.
AS3 was very powerful in terms of prototyping games and sound design. A long time ago I worked on lots of "music games" that combined game mechanics (like top down space shooters or "flappy bird" style stuff) with synthesizer code that made music.

I have no idea how to go about recreating my projects today in JS at all...
Yes, Epic has an app store on Android. So does Amazon. So do a few others. If anything that just proves the point that third party app integrations can work in a mobile OS without the world ending.
Thank you for the detailed response.

I see you are still making the same error as others - "These virtual cards are non-fungible tokens on a decentralized blockchain similar to Open Publish."

Cards are not tokens, and cards are not on the blockchain. Cards are digital assets, but they can't fit inside a token, they can't fit in the blockchain (for a reasonable price with a reasonable blockchain performance and decentralisation).

You have complicated my example, but it is essentially the same - your physical device is the centralised DB now (or you are using two centrlised DBs - device memory and some corporate cloud server together). Assets (cards) are stored inside it. To access them you need a key. In your example key is the token, but at this point - that's not really mandatory, we have many other ways to sell and store keys. But it's an option, yes.

What you have described is just another way to access assets stored in a centralised way and authenticate yourself as a person having access to them.

And you don't "own" your assets (cards), unless of course there is some agreement, likely on the web site or with purchase of that physical device saying that IP rights are transferred to you Name Surname. You are renting your cards based on the good will of Shueisha, and when you say sell cards - that just means Shueisha gratiously allows transferring of some record in their DB from one of their registered users to another. Just as an example - let's say Shueisha uses Tezos bc, user A is a registered customer of Shueicha and "owns" a digital card from them. Can he sell it to whatever random person with a Tezos wallet? Well, no. Unless Shueisha makes allowance for that, but that would be dumb because it will expose asset to everyone (same as today's NFT pictures work).

Everything is stored on Shueisha servers or DRM'ed devices from them. Everything is managed by Shueisha directly or indirectly via coding some physical device which will do it. Tokens are used to access stuff, but they either insecure, or you will need to have additional parallel authentication with card storage to access them.

NFTs are just layers of technical comlications not really adding anything of substance. They make look like it's easy to buy and sell digital stuff, so very popular for speculation, but in reality they are crippled by inability to actually store medium being sold and to transfer any IP rights by itself, without centralised services.

Care to elaborate? I don't really understand how it harms users.
I use GIMP as a software engineer in game development for modifying assets created by artists. My workflow is typically cropping / resizing, merging images, repositioning, running batch scripts, etc. I never touch a paint brush, but do all sorts of other modifications.

GIMP is perfect for my workflow. Simple tasks like resizing selected regions is a chore with Krita. And did I mention that GIMP is scriptable? I've been using GIMP professionally since 2008.

Related to this, but building anything interactive in general was made super-easy by Flash because it was basically one IDE with everything you needed included out of the box. No complex toolchain, or ludicrous dependency tree, no nonsense build and deployment (though the fact that the default for Flash content was one giant binary blob wasn't always ideal when bandwidth was at a premium), no having to learn a new framework and toolchain every 12 - 24 months. And, frankly, were the security holes any worse than plenty of other apps at the time, or the constant parade of issues we see with our current dependencies that require ongoing vigilance and updates?

The big problem is it was proprietary and the cost of entry was high at a time when I was short of cash for quite a few years.

Still, I wish I'd invested in learning it back in the day, as I really only came to appreciate its benefits after its fate was effectively sealed by Steve Jobs: could have made some good money whilst having some good fun doing it for 8 or 10 years up to around 2010.

(Of course, I would have had to deal with the consequence of my skillset being obsoleted seemingly overnight, but I got kind of a taste of that from the Microsoft ecosystem as well: it's WinForms, no, it's WPF, no it's Silverlight, no, etc...)
It's definitely harder to break out of the browser sandbox and attack the underlying system without it.
This would not be any less wrong if there was a law mandating it, instead of informal pressure.
Then why do so many Puerto Ricans not want to join as a state?
I don’t see all that much vitriol. I do see a lot of people who honestly don’t think the GIMP is very good, and that better (free and open source) alternatives exist. That’s not in and of itself vitriol.

I think some of us can be unduly sensitive to criticism of the GIMP, because it’s a long standing project we have all used at one time or another and may have fond memories of. But it’s no longer the only kid on the block, and it’s just not holding its own against new free projects. It’s mediocre, and it could be better. We’re not doing it any favours by refraining from fair critique.
your problem is that you are a minority (in a society where those with the right information and ability to act on it actually think its a-ok). It is also called moral bankruptcy and is closely associated with financial bankruptcy.

Most of the whole PGP system is inadequate for real use, but it points towards a model and interface which is: most people for most encryption simply want to know the answer to "is this my bank as my government/insurance company etc. believes it is?" and that sort of key would essentially be distributed by consensus.

But the standard we've got is, once you're "in" to the CA root store, technically you can issue certificates for anything in any context, and the way we interact with them is to simply trust them uniformly.

What we need is a system which let's us easily contextualize the actual trust problem we're solving with a connection: i.e. "I'm contacting a bank in <country>, so I want to know that the government of that country thinks its a bank, (maybe through the reserve bank of that country which expresses trust as to that identity". Chains of trust which make sense for the relationship.

As it is, if I visit say - pm.gov.au and check the certificate I get that it was issued by GlobalSign. Who are they? Well, they're in the Root CA store which is why they're involved because that was the only requirement. But what I want to actually know is "Am I talking to the Australian government and at what level?"
The browser vendors know what they are doing. The government has no idea.
I understand some edgy SJWs using this on twitter... but in a scientific article?
Can't agree on this. Also on Samsung, S22 ultra, I can't be bothered with any deep app settings because why would I do that? Device runs flawlessly, doesn't bother me with anything, has great battery life (and photos).

On the other hand, my wife bought iphone 13 mini after being whole life on android and its a proper shitfest form her point of view - basic settings simply NOT possible by OS because Apple decided they know better than users what users want and users have no say in this apart form losing warranty via jailbreak, basic convenient features missing. The whole device can be summarized as 'basic for very premium price' - it looks very cheap, works cheap, not a single fancy or cool thing on it.

Was about to give a chance to Apple myself but quickly rolled back after what I've seen. Plus all the scandals that show Apple is just another amoral non-privacy corporation just like the rest of bunch, despite their hard efforts at marketing. My wife will be probably rolling back to Android soon since its pretty bad experience overall. So completely opposite experience.
Blender started getting good only a few years ago, before that it was a big UI mess.
I love how “we can’t make chips in the US anymore it’s impossible” was something we heard only a few years ago.
Microsoft software supports UTF-16 (not only UCS-2) everywhere these days (yes, even in COM). But you can probably still find errors here and there.

I have no problem with saving text files in UTF-8 and normally do. I just wish SCSU was handled by COM by default as well and not only sometimes.
> Why? What incentives and financial gain do they get from that?

General goodwill, good publicity, and mid-to-long-term, strengthening the market they operate in and reducing their own expenditures.

The question is interesting because they seem to also be the best players for it: they're affected, have the right skill sets, and more than enough spare money to afford it.
The difficult we predict in six months. The impossible will take a little longer.
My impression with crypto is that once money is in token form, there's an expectation that it can just vanish into thin air. Like it can just evaporate. There seems to be a cognitive breakdown that forgets money doesn't get created or destroyed, it is moved from one party to another.

My sense is that this cognitive bias is playing out here. "Obviously your money could just disappear, it's crypto, that's what happens. Why look into this?".

Once the brain is trained to know this is how it is, it stops asking why it's happening. That's just what happens.
People's use of the internet has changed, but the fact that there is not a new Homestar Runner or NewGrounds is telling. How much does a weird high school/college art nerd need to know about the tech stack to get their vision online?

I'm old enough that HSR is still part of my lexicon. Kids just think I'm weird, which is fine.
Thank you for the exact numbers!

I don’t know why but that extra factor of two somehow makes it even worse. 0.05% of assets isn’t even enough for petty cash for most businesses and they couldn’t do some due diligence when it was $75 million?!
The one window thing was a lifesaver change as far as I'm concerned, otherwise I don't think it changed much.

is that Apple tracks a variety of usage on device and your device itself knows which ad to serve

This is a distinction without a difference. Do you regularly share your phone with other people, to the extent that "device data" can not be correlated back to you?
I have never, and do not know anybody who has, avoided good software for something as stupidly trivial as its name. If the name were one of the more hardcore expletives I'd maybe think twice. As it stands, this one is fairly vanilla as far as problematic words go, is clearly typeset as an acronym, and is principally a reference to Pulp Fiction, therefore being at least one referential layer away from the original term. I would like to see statistics on who actually cares about this.
They definitely won't care if I don't do it!

The main thing from my perspective is that I care if I don't do it, to the point of depression - hence the therapy :)

Are they the ones with a weird complex, or are you? Your post suggests that you feel like GIMP has something to prove much more than the four word throwaway line you're criticizing to me.

If you first enable app or sms then you can add totp (that was my experience at least)
I'm very calm thank you :)

I'm just reminding, from a local experience (France), that in general, moving/reducing/replacing (public) services physical presence to online services has to be carefully considered & planned over quite a long period of time, especially regarding accessibility.
12 hour work shifts sound horrible. Is this possible in the US?
Why is here consistently in any Apple discussion exactly this reaction? Locked down is good for you, you don't want freedom, we know better. On hacker forum.

Seriously, basically any other topic we can discuss like adults here but when it comes to Apple and their restrictions/bad behavior it feels like the most upvoted posts are paid ones (not stating they are, but it certainly would look like that on more generic forums)
When I was reading about Turing Completeness as a child, I remarked to my mother that "Computers can do anything". She quickly told me that wasn't right. I went back and thought about what I actually meant. My revised statement was "Computers can do anything that computers can do", which sounds significantly less grand.
