So true.

I remember seeing several videos of people trying to steal cars, only to find out its a manual and have to retreat. The best was a pair of criminals who robbed a store, got the managers keys, loaded up the car and then after several attempts of leaving with the loot (popping the clutch to hilarious effect) and realizing they couldn't drive a manual, just got of the car and took off on foot empty handed.

This must be a generational thing. As soon as I was old enough to drive, I was taught how to drive a manual first.

I suggested a few weeks ago on this forum that DSLRs should strive to be like smartphones with better lenses. Make real computational photography accessible on-device like a phone would, with its power and its UI, but with programmable hardware buttons and DSLR performance.

I have an Olympus E-M10 Mark III (terrible naming) and while the photos are obviously of a higher quality than a camera phone, camera phones can do wonders with photo stacking and HDR/night shots that would be even more amazing with a proper camera.

"But that's what photoshop is for", the naysayers say. I say, bollocks to that. If a budget smartphone can make these filters/optimizations accessible to the masses, then a DSLR can as well. Besides, they already try. My Olympus has an art filter menu, a "scenes" menu and so on, but they are opaque in what they are actually doing, not very flexible in adjustment, and overall can't achieve the customization of a smartphone.

If Sony et al bolted a detachable lens to an android device with a few programmable knobs and buttons, with wifi (not hotspot based) for instant uploading, I daresay it would be a hit.
No, and, in fact, the first one isn't valid - you can use C++ (or a subset of it) for the same performance profile with less footguns.

So really the only time to use C is when the codebase already has it and there is a policy to stick to it even for new code, or when targeting a platform that simply doesn't have a C++ toolchain for it, which is unfortunately not uncommon in embedded.
In long haul service, but in local service it can easily double the fuel efficiency and eliminate particulates that diesels generate in transient operation.

While you're 100% correct in that, I do believe the "parent" post is against people being put into situations where they begin to feel that such actions are their only remaining option if they ever want to have a life outside of work.
Indigenous Tribes in U.S. Will Get $75M for Climate Relocation
Another interesting way to split the difference: identify a need at $work that could really use a better open source solution that $work could use off-the-shelf. Go write that on your free nights/weekends as an independent open source project that's more-broadly useful to others outside of $work, and then when you're back on the clock, switch hats and make use of it.

With this hybrid approach, you're still advancing the cause at $work, but you're not doing it directly or exclusively for them, and the open source project will have visibility, scope, and utility beyond $work and your employment there. You never know, it might even be the start of future promising career opportunities.

There be dragons of course with how exempt employment and copyrights work in the US, though (as in, this might be a trivial case where if the side-project is successful, your employer can claim rights on it). You could come to some agreement with your employer ahead of time about the independence of such projects, though.
No, it's not weird to not want to give up an email address before knowing the value proposition, qup and icedchai.
I think the bad vibes come from the fact that Snap is a proprietary, walled-garden system owned by Canonical. The server is not open source, so no one else can run their own Snap Store.

It's antithetical to pretty much everything about what we think of as a "Linux distro".

I would absolutely never run Ubuntu or install Snap because of this. I'll stick with Debian, thanks.

Actually did not mean for that statement to be understood in reverse. Is that the opposite of Poe's law? :thinking_emoji:
On the other hand "exempt" employees as we're legally defined, make less money per hour the more we work because we're "exempt" from overtime pay.

The fact this is even legal indicates congress sold out the working class in the '80s.

Sure you may be able to slack off a lot in some jobs, and effectively make more money per hour. But it's an absolute certainty that if you work 80 hours a week, you're not going to be paid more as an exempt employee. It's one of the nice things about being a contractor, you can actually get overtime pay. And as a result most companies will be strict about not making you work more than 40. Funny how that works.

This is blatantly wrong. The Democrats have been EXTREMELY compliant in this destruction of workers rights, from Biden pushing through the contract to all members of the squad turning their back on them. The Republicans are dogshit because they want 14 year old girls to have to get coat hanger abortions, but almost every establishment Democrat does not give a single fuck about the working class/poor. (You should still vote Dem tho, having weird religious nut jobs who praise German leaders running the country is worse than a bunch of neo-liberals)

Snap was what made me switch back to Debian from Ubuntu. In the process I discovered that every issue and friction that had got me to try Ubuntu initially has been more than adequately solved by Debian now.

IMO Debian is by far the saner distribution these days and there’s no reason at all to use Ubuntu for most people.

The UX can definitely be improved but the vitriol against this snap feature is puzzling, since the core of it (what in snap jargon is called “refresh awareness”) was implemented specifically because the alternative (silently updating the app from under the user which resulted in strange bugs, crashes and other problems) was pretty undesirable. In essence refresh awareness was added at users’ behest :)

What You Need to Know about Iran's Surveillance Tech
Took me a while to parse your comment and I'm not sure I got it, but I think the key is "US was fomenting a coup". Everybody was fomenting a coup, obviously. Probably even the Chinese were having people on the ground. Doesn't automatically make everything that happened there a result of US action.
I remember this article as well, it was probably on HN, and I can't find it. I think the university in question was MIT and the complaint that was even though MIT gave very generous scholarships due to this ruling they had to increase tuition every year to balance out the numbers. Funnily enough I've also been looking for that article for years now.

My first degree was anthropology, with an emphasis on human evolution. I was accepted to a masters program when things in my life changed and I finally realized the importance of money. So I returned to school and finished my almost-complete comp sci degree. Luckily I’ve loved programming since I was a little kid so it worked out well. After I’d worked for a while, I did exactly what you suggested and took a three month trip to check out various ancient sites that I’d studied in school.

I only have like a dozen email addresses. Several of them are for junk mail and subscription type stuff. Do you... not have a junk email address? I would strongly encourage you to start on that, because, even just a stupid gmail account you never use for anything important but use for junk is probably a life changing situation for you if you've never heard of doing something like this.

Edit: Super power here is setting up a 1Password Identity (or whichever tool you use, hell, even a snippet) to auto fill junk email in when signing up for stuff vs not-junk email. I have three identities. One for work, one for personal, one for junk. Makes this stuff super easy and fast.

> best development environment/tools is the Raspberry Pi

The best development environment for _you_ is the Raspberry Pi.

Most people are going to want a GUI. Most users (even the vast majority of developers!) are not comfortable using a terminal 24/7. Most are going to be using whatever IDE they learned on, or whatever their team uses. That's certainly going to be a full GUI IDE that is resource-hungry. Even not considering those aspects, just compiling code takes forever.

I've tried using a Raspberry Pi before as a day-to-day device. It works okay, but you're going to miss speed quickly
Nah. None of the three big similar solutions to this (AppImage, Flatpack) feel quite like they're the right way to do this, but Snap manages to feel distinctly more-wrong than the others, without any accompanying unique benefits to offset that.
'Browsing: enabled' doesn't actually work though. In the referenced thread, that comment is a joke.
I don't mix personal data and work but they sure can present enough gray areas. Things like digital copies of paystubs, ESPP details, and W4 can only be accessed while employed and on the company network. I leaned that one the hard way a year later when doing taxes.

That's very true, asynchronous isn't a fair way to describe things.

But given a hint about their level of presence, what are you doing with that information? What can you do after sending the message you were already going to send? Worst case it makes people send "???" as a follow up because they can see I'm coherent enough to tap a notification and assume that means I'm available for a full conversation. The opposite example is the typing indicator, which acts as a useful mechanism to keep a conversation ordered and flowing once it's started. Maybe an argument could be made for the "currently viewing" indicator being more useful, since it solves the problem of indicating I'm available for a conversation better than just "read y/n".
If they think this will not have side affects in humans they are mistaken.

Do they, though? I use Firefox, but my understanding is that Chrome just puts a button in the corner of the window that you can click to restart and install the updates, but it doesn't ever force you to do it, and you could conceivably continue running that way for as long as you want (well, until you end up rebooting the computer for whatever reason). I could be wrong, though.
Another reason I hated snap, when I used Ubuntu, was the performance problems. Opening a url from the snap version of Slack took multiple seconds! The solution to this was to nuke it and install the .deb version. Just completely unacceptable and embarrassing.

How exactly do you obtain that ebook after giving away the email ? I've "activated" the subscription (sigh...) but i don't see any download link.
For what it's worth, I've found it to consistently produce very convincing garbage. I asked it a basic question about Golang, and it bullshitted an answer that I couldn't tell was wrong until I tried it. It can't reliably perform arithmetic, and while it is capable of identifying that it gives inconsistent answers, I haven't yet got it to admit that these inconsistencies meant it was wrong. From my limited experience I would strongly recommend not using it for this.
To be honest. Just subscribe and the next time I wrote a free article and share it with you unsubscribe. I don‘t spam you. Ans I don‘t mind when you only want to grab the ebook.
Think you interpreted the Side Car pattern pretty well:) It definitely is typically done using HTTP (REST), and the benefit of this is it gives it great flexibility, allowing it to be deployed in many different ways.

Like Extism, sidecars are typically developed in some type of container like Docker (I have a limited understanding of WASM but since it's also a container technology, think you could also use this instead). And since the calls into the container are done through a standard like HTTP REST (or GraphQL), it's no problem if you'd like to have the container deployed locally, or on the same machine as your host container, or even on it's own server if you need to run it as its own microservice.

Although typically, sidecars are deployed locally and work almost exactly like Extism - simply as a plugin to the main application. And the performance of the local call is pretty good, because the call is usually made over a virtual network you'd setup in your docker configuration files.

I came across sidecars for the first time a couple of years ago while doing a job at Atlassian. And, for me, creating an entire product like Extism to take plugin/sidecars to the next level seems like a great idea. Because sidecars are awesome and we need a way to make them easier and easier to develop!

Hmm, was just thinking it over, wonder if it be useful if Extism did allow flexibility in deployment (meaning that the mechanism for calls wasn't just limited to using WebAssembly to do the call/security), but could switched to using HTTP REST or GraphQL by some simple changes to some config files? Because now the plugins can be deployed in many different ways, and even work in legacy systems (they may have their own security model. Seems like some type of REST security is pretty popular)...

... although, as mentioned, from what I saw, seemed like 95% of the time, sidecars are used locally as well, like Extism, so maybe just focusing on local calls is good enough??

... Am also wondering if supporting both Docker and WASM might be useful/possible?

And of course, I have very limited understanding of Extism, so of course, I may be waay off in what the future directions of your product, so please take everything I said with a grain of salt. But, Extism does seem like a great idea! Will give it a try.

Understanding Apple ProRAW

Excerpt:

ProRAW has one more surprise up its sleeve. A few years ago, Apple began using neural networks to detect interesting parts of an image, such as eyes and hair. Apple uses this to, say, add sharpening to only clouds in the sky. Sharping faces would be quite unflattering.

ProRAW files contain these maps!

The 32-bit operands are actually hurting code density most of the time. An instruction that would take 4 bytes in a RISC ISA takes at least 5 bytes in a CISC ISA.

Same thing with the 32-bit offsets for x86_64 conditional branches.

Edit: With "CISC style" I meant those instructions that use implicit registers instead of GPRs and/or do fancy multi-operation stuff, like LOOP or POPA/PUSHA etc.
