I'll be back in 5-10 years when the devs get over themselves and the application actually reflects the "simplicity, elegance, and usability" that it purports to.

This may come off as unfair, but I say it as an artist who vividly recalls the frustration of using Blender and GIMP in the 2000s - and, particularly, of trying to get contributors to understand that, actually, the industry standard software had it right, you don't have to change basic UX elements, you're making it more difficult for us to use this software (or, perhaps even more important, to convince colleagues/bosses/collaborators to use it).

I already see it in the comments here: users expressing their misgivings and others (admittedly, just one or two vocal individuals, for now) shouting down their concerns as stupid or irrational. My first impression was that this is unnecessary, though I'm coming around to the potential. If Gimel is destined to become a useful tool, I hope it's able to do so without the pain so many other pieces of software that are aimed at artists and designers that the devs won't listen to go through.
Of course, the big question is if the web worked because it didn’t start out as a dynamic programmable media platform like HyperCard.
I have that line in my .ssh/config and I never use password auth.

In the next 10-20 years, AI is gonna eat the world, just like software did, but 10x of that. We are still in the mainframe era of computing when it comes to AI. Large scale neural network take teams of experts to design and build, and supercomputers to train. All of that is coming to our computers and smartphones in the next decade or two, and it's gonna imprint everything we do and how we live our lives. ChatGPT and stable diffusion are just a glimpse in the future.

With this thesis in mind, it's clear that (T)QQQ and semiconductor companies are gonna be huge winners in this new augmented intelligence era. One just needs the conviction to hold thru the emotional rollercoaster that leveraged ETFs are.
>Some games (like a bunch of Assassin's Creed games nowadays) allow the second group (money, no time) to buy better equipment with actual money for the single player game.

You have blown my mind, as I hadn't realized this has gotten into single player games like Assassin's Creed.

I generally agree games should be fun for everyone... but at that point is it even a "game" if you're paying money to skip around? What happened to difficulty selection? Or just plain old grinding? That's part of the experience.

There's a game called Cuphead that I really enjoy(ed) but never beat. I couldn't in a million years think "let me just pay 10, 20, or 30 dollars to skip these hard levels." The very idea just seems so antithetical to gaming in general.

What about putting them in Elden Ring, just go right to the last boss if you pay $200-300 (assuming $ scales with progress).

If you're finding yourself with not much time, I recommend rogue likes. I never liked them until I understood that the "playing" was the experience, and grinding to the end was the reward. Now I like them b/c with a Steam Deck, I can play short sessions. Not once have I ever considered paying actual money to "skip" a game. That is just wild to me.

Again, at the end of the day, ppl can spend their money how they like... I just find it a bit ridiculous and that's not even touching on the "gacha" mobile games.
But with crypto’s tendency for huge volatility, it’s much more difficult to maintain a short BTC position without getting blown out.

ya, the kids are into being tracked with facial recognition AI by various intelligence agencies and giant, amoral corporations these days so that psychological "profiles" can be set up about them. Also being in the background of videos that countless simps view who obsessively analyze every detail of to defend m'lady's honor and sometimes the video ends up on third party porn sites is really cool these days.
Not sure there are massive economies of scale in tax collection (and probably some diseconomies of scale too from scaling up from the Faroe Islands to a region/nation too big for a single official to know every accountant personally!). Auditing and providing specific advice on compliance is pretty hands on stuff, and as the population size grows, so does the size, variety and geographical dispersal of the entities being taxed, the range of possible avoidance measures, the complexity of legal actions etc. And inevitably, the complexity of the tax code...
There are laws. A quick search for "laws about photographing people in public" brings up a bunch of articles including, of course, one on Wikipedia:

I know what the dependency inversion principle is. I think there's some fundamental misunderstanding here, because dependency inversion is a design pattern, not a framework, and there's nothing about it that prevents you from using Nullables in your tests.

Regardless of whether you're using dependency inversion, or dependency injection, your class under test can be programmed with the following constructor:

class MyClass {

private MyDependency myDependency;

MyClass(MyDependency myDependency) {
this.myDependency = myDependency;
}

// rest of code
}

This is the fundamental dependency injection pattern. (Well, there's other ways to do it, but this is most common.) No matter what DI framework you're using, you probably have constructors that look like this. If you do, you can use Nullables. And if you don't, all you need to do is add them.

It's possible that your DI framework is generating these constructors for you automatically, in which case (1) ewwww, and (2) if you dig into your framework's documentation, there's probably a way to make it work with Nullables.

Ah I wonder, are these recent memories worthy to you ? A colleague told me my memory was impressive yet we both struggled to remember what we worked on a month ago. As soon as a release was done, our brain wiped mostly everything to start on new work. I was personally shocked and I assume it's because it's of no interest to my brain.

Some stuff gets a lifelong spot in your brain, some are week long refugees.
I think this is a fair question to pose and I'm glad you asked it.
Curious enough to know what's the HN equivalent of Physics? Maybe r/Physics?
Oh, that was unclear. Having a "Total" option next to the states. That way it would be possible to see the renewable percentage for the grid as a whole.
Can't speak of non-american biomes, but in both Appalachia (VA) and the Ozarks (MO) I have personally seen similar results running cattle. The American ecosystems are all ideally and naturally adapt at thriving in the presence of ruminants.

Makes sense, this entire continent was carpeted in bison until only two hundred years ago.
No idea if causal to the difference you're talking about, but I've heard bison ranchers mention that they're a lot more resilient of an animal and lower maintenance, so maybe something to do with their ability to "work" the land more?
I've never encountered a document viewer with property 3. Does this space technology exist?
A family member ran into this last week.

They needed a product that was distributed exclusively through Amazon. So they logged in, added the product to their cart, and then checked out.

At checkout it presented them the "Get free shipping with Prime" prompt, which he says he couldn't find any way past it without signing up.

He only realised he'd signed up for a subscription service when it started sending him emails about other things. He cancelled immediately, and swears he won't buy anything through Amazon again.

Life is overrated.

What we consider life are just mechanisms that are complex enough to feel mysterious, also grow and develop fast enough for us to notice.

I don't think looking for life makes much sense. Looking for intelligence (anything you can communicate with to reach meaningful results, insects are also intelligent, pocket calculators also are and that would be cool if they had emerged without the humans building them) and consciousness (no good definition existing to the date) is what is interesting.

Which is very much against private ownership of property or at least individual ownership which is even worse.

It’s just blatantly stupid as it favors ownership under entities other than individuals such as corporations and trusts over individual ownership.

This move from an ownership model to a beneficiary one is already how the wealthiest amongst us avoid paying inheritance tax since if a family trust owns everything and you just get to benefit from those assets there is nothing to tax when a trustee dies.

And ofc corporations don’t die so no inheritance there which means the farmer’s kids are fucked whilst some mega agrocorp is laughing all the way to the bank waiting for Old McDonald to die…

All of these schemes that attempt to make inheritance costlier just make it worse for everyone other the richest of the rich.

People might take an issue with Bezos leaving billions to his survivors but what about farmland that has been in a family for generations? or an ancestral home? Or heck you don’t need to even to get to Amazon levels can someone leave to their kids a chain of 4 dry cleaners in some small city without it being taken away by the taxman?

And if that isn’t enough then it puts the residents of a country that has such a tax policy or any substantial inheritance taxation at a massive disadvantage against foreign investors and owners.
There could be a standardized execution speed. Similar to the home computers of old, and video game consoles, developers would then have to make do with the fixed performance afforded by the platform.
You could use `--no-ff` to force a merge commit and then amend it. Not very common, though.

This is what I learned from founding a business and running it successfully for 5+ years:

Business is easy. As long as you are cash-flow positive you are in business.

You improve your business by continually removing bottlenecks stopping you from improving your cash flow (see: Theory of Constraints).

Bottlenecks can be anything from marketing/sales to product development and tech. So you learn as you go directed by the bottlenecks.

That’s pretty much it. It’s easy but hard work.
There's a big design space within the retained mode concept and you can see places where DOM probably isn't the right design for apps. For example, I've never seen reflow or the "flash of unstyled content" problem in real GUIs. Sure, there are ways to prevent these problems when using the DOM, but in traditional toolkits those problems are not present to begin with.
Though it's worth noting that there are plenty of things that weren't original to D&D in the first place. For example, the distintive looks of the owlbear and landshark were actually directly based off dime store plastic toys imported from Asia, and various names like "prismatic spray" and "githyanki" actually come from preexisting fantasy novels.
As far as I know, taking somebody‘s photograph or video in a public space in Germany is legal, you just can‘t publish it without their permission.

Ask HN: Are we due for a 1984 rewrite?
Imagine an rsync that was A LOT smarter for backup use cases. Detecting files that have been renamed, files that have been compressed, similar files, files that have only been appended to, files that are the same across multiple systems (Oh, yeah, I probably already have a copy of this kernel file from this other host). Basically, deduplication as part of rsync.
Comparing it with rsync running on Cygwin is a bit unfair, as Cygwin is known to be terribly inefficient. I don't doubt that their CDC based algorithm is faster, but probably not by the margin they claim if Cygwin is taken out of the equation
Good to see they are still working on this. I supported the project for the first year, then moved on to support others. I've just re-sponsored on GitHub Sponsors.

Before SSH-ing into untrusted hosts, make sure you understand what SSH agent-forwarding and X11-forwarding are.

Also, maybe don't trust the SSH config defaults on whatever host you're on at the moment. You can explicitly set defaults yourself in your `~/.ssh/config` or similar.
So you're saying that a set of finite states governed by a set of finite state transitions is not a finite state machine. Ok buddy.

Don't confuse expressiveness and state space. Even if there are more faithful encodings that better preserve other properties, what I said is strictly true and it's important for people to understand that human cognition is not as powerful as some think: a finite state space means a human can be fully captured by a finite state machine.

In particular, plenty of indie authors have noted that anything D&D-branded gets exponentially more sales, even if it's otherwise completely identical to something without the direct D&D association.
Damn, didn't even know Agile and Scrum had such deep lore.

I hardly ever need to sync things between machines since vscode manages that itself.

I get why some people need this but it's a net time sync for a lot of people that probably don't need it.

Willing to bet it's mostly due to a lack of backups and ability to restore them to a new machine when you upgrade.

One nice thing about this is that you can keep a central repo for multiple machines and use branches with rebase and merge to sync changes while keeping specific differences separate.
It's "two" clicks on a very simple node network: if you look at some of the > 1000-10k node networks used in VFX for things like compositing/image editing and see artists re-arrange networks, it all adds up cumulatively, and having a fluid and efficient workflow is critical.

Like, if Wizards does get their way here, it seems like a death knell for the MIT, GPLv2 and BSD licenses in their current form. It would render them unwise to use in commercial code or as referenced dependencies of open source codebase as the author could revoke it any time, as well as invalid to incorporate MIT or BSD code into GPLv3 or Apache 2.0 licensed projects as you do not have the permission to grant an irrevocable license to your sublicensees
Sure, but you are talking about a complete minimalist implementation, one that before all of this Javascript explosion, made people pull their hair out. For example you need javascript for dropdowns or form validation to begin with. I think there is a lot of stuff done by front end developers these days that people take for granted.
I think your contempt here is not a bad default position, but I think you misapply it here.

I was involved in the movement before the term "Agile" existed. I agree it is now on average horseshit, and have been saying so a long time. [1] But I think that one of the things that hasn't been broadly incorporated what is mentioned here: vigorously pursuing faster feedback loops.

So many places are so top-down and plan driven that their corporate structures and corporate cultures just don't let them take advantage of release-early, release-often approaches. Done right, it is hugely powerful because you get to learn ASAP when you are wrong. But in so many places people essentially don't want to know that. They would rather lose months or years to bad plans and bad practices than seek out the kind of real-world feedback that lets them know when something is wrong. People would rather feel smart and look smart than take the hit and learn from enough mistakes that they become actually smart.

Indeed, I think the reason that so much "Agile" is horseshit is that people reject the most important Agile changes such that they can keep on believing they're doing just great. They just don't want their process rub their noses in the fact that however fast they're going, it's not in the right direction.

Have you ever used a node based editor? You don't just make a single node. For every edit you do, you make a node. Resize? new node. Adjust RAW settings? new node. Isolate color to make a mask? new node. Apply blur? new node. I just don't know how you can sit there and say that you won't do this thousands of time in a session of image editing and be expected to be taken seriously.

If you can't drag-n-drop the node into a different order, that's also bad. why? It's just one of the advantages of node based editing, and part of that is the ability to quickly disconnect/reconnect/re-order the nodes. That's part of the UX that should be in first public releases. At the end of the day, you can skin something like ImageMagick to have a node based UI/UX and solve the majority of the things you seem to think are important as a first release. If you're releasing a node based image editor, I want to see how the nodes behave.
I was dev lead for the Microsoft C runtimes (msvcrt.dll and the like) back around the turn of the century. We shipped most of the source for the runtimes with Visual C++, and included a copyright message in each file. Those had the copyright year range in them when I started in the position, but (IIRC) we got the all-clear to dump the years from the text, over 20 years ago. Certainly cut down on source churn at the start of each year.
Well that is how I read it :P I think it would be good to point out that you can add other Host sections to override it.

Given " civil liberties and free expression of many", OP is likely speaking in a United States context, where photography in public is always allowed and only some states have 'wiretap' laws that prohibit recording conversations without the consent of all parties.

The law and courts need to acknowledge a third state beyond "in private" and "in public".

I don't keep current tabs on modeling. There is plenty of active discussion of the problems with modeling in a academic literature, e.g.

If you read a bit about Islam’s encounter with Indian religions (Al-Biruni, Shahristani, Derryl MacLean), you’ll see it’s a bit more complicated than that.
