He was not rich, he mostly painted farmers and peasants and never sold anything.

His family, especially his brother Theo, was well off and they sent him an allowance to survive as well as art supplies. (I would not be surprised that they were afraid that, if they send more money he'd spent it on alchool instead of supplies)

As for space, I think he sent most of his paintings to his brother in exchange for the allowance.

As an ex-meta mobile engineer, I 100% agree that I found Eden to be impossible to use productively. I always had to pre-warm the cache, pretty much defeating its stated goals. Maybe it has gotten better since I left a year ago, but I had 2 TB of local storage, and mercurial's sparse checkouts were more than enough for me and far more reliable.

However, all the other tooling around code were just superior in every way. I miss Phabricator, and mercurial and the way it seamlessly integrates into a team. I also miss all of the command line helpers that let me manage all of it.

It used to be the case that legitimate teams could form around and focus just on building internal tools for other teams if it improved engineering velocity. Not sure if that's still the case in this new era of layoff-happy Meta, but it was definitely true when I was there.
Gotcha, there was no “W” in the Latin alphabet either ;)
> Whoever that is can sign whatever they want, send an update notification targeting a single user, and the phone will then execute anything as instructed.

That wasn't the claim. The claim was "Apple can remotely execute any code they want on your phone at any time." In other words, Apple can do it right now, on your phone, without any software update. And there's zero evidence for this claim.

Software updates are not remote code execution. Moreover, users can choose not to install software updates.

that's hilarious, how did you eventually find out?
When I view source (not the DOM) I can see that all of your math has aria-hidden="true". That seems to carry over into the parsed/generated math markup: run `document.body.innerHTML += '<style>[aria-hidden="true"]{ outline: 3px solid red; }</style>'` to see all the hidden-from-screenreader things highlighted. That may be enough.

For content that really cannot be written in a way that screen readers can handle, there is always the idea of Screen Reader Only content. It's a hassle, but let's jump in and give it a shot

For instance for the first math thing you can have

<style>
.sr-only {
position:absolute;
left:-10000px;
top:auto;
width:1px;
height:1px;
overflow:hidden;
}
</style>
<p class="sr-only" id="definition-of-reduced-derivative">
The reduced derivative with respect to x is denoted crossed-d over dx of the function f(x). It is equivalent to the the derivative with respect to x (denoted d over dx) of the function f(x) all over 2 pi.
</p>

Then you make sure that the element that wraps up your first equation has aria-describedby="definition-of-reduced-derivative" so that the SR reads out that content. I think you may need to not have "aria-hidden" on that math wrapper, but I'm not sure.

This is not an authoritative answer; I'm just some asshole who writes front-end code a lot. More of a Cunningham's Law situation that anything really. You don't want to end up creating one experience for sighted users and completely different one for screen-reader and refreshable-braille-display users. But this can maybe get the wheels turning for how to address it? Also again maybe TOTALLY unnecessary once you un-hide the math markup.

While surfing https://explore.openaq.org/ due to recent air quality threads, I noticed something strange; air monitoring stations in far flung countries that were identifying as "AirNow" stations (which is a US Gov initiative). This led to the discovery that US embassies outside the US host air quality stations and provide that data back.

You could reverse engineer everything on -one- phone and one version of software and be confident every single CPU instruction involving crypto sufficiently random, in constant time, and not being exfiltrated. This is a -massive- effort, that would also need to rule out hardware backdoors and use some cutting edge techniques, but say you did it.

Now a dissident is targeted. Their phone is sent a special OS hotfix no one in the world has reviewed and that compromises the random number generator at a CPI microcode level that would take months of targeted reverse engineering to detect, then relevant messages are decrypted over the wire with the now weakend keys. It then reverts itself when done making detection that much less likely.

Whoever has the signing keys make the rules... or anyone who can give secret orders to those holding the signing keys.

> It's not like you'd ever want to live in his austere glass boxes.

I have had the pleasure (or misfortune?) of working for a number of years in buildings designed by Le Corbusier, Frank Gehry, and Norman Foster.

Was the Le Corbusier building I worked in clearly of its time? Yes. But also strangely it was the least clinical of all three. It had a surprising amount of warmth. I can't speak to his residential work, but it was clear that great thought had been given into how people use the building. Unlike when I worked in the Gehry building, where no thought had been given at all.

And if anything, it was the opposite of what you say - Le Corbusier thinks a lot about glass, and is surprisingly restrained in its use (compared to, say, Foster). I remember the concrete stairwells with their frosted glass bricks well.

I'm not saying that we should aspire to build more Le Corbusier-like buildings, but my experience of his buildings was the total opposite of inhuman.
Are you really comparing China to the US in terms of military power?

China just finished their first domestic aircraft carrier, and the current military hasn't really been in any major war. In the meantime, the US has continually maintained a state of readiness and nearly constant wars while modernizing its fleet.

But you had to just go 9/11 Truther which means nobody here should really be paying attention to you.

> As for, "well we can install Linux..." that doesn't make even a measurable dent in e-waste.

Only if you insist on thrashing the device after you're done with it. Be a sport an sell it or donate it to someone who will install Linux on it if you can't and you'll see that 'e-waste' (what a word...) problem disappear as quick as you can say 'linux'.

I'm one of those someone's by the way, not having bought any new laptop or server since 2001. I'm typing this on a 'late 2009' 27" iMac running Debian, parked next to a Thinkpad P-50 running Debian, traffic is going out through a virtual router on the DL380 G7 under the stairs running Debian. My children use machines running Debian as does my 85yo mother. Some of my friends have also seen the light and moved to Linux running on used machines, generally all it takes is to put an SSD in place of the spinning drive and the things 'fly'.

Serious American bakers mostly use Diamond brand kosher salt. Serious bakers universally will specify if they're using kosher or table or some other salt, because they pack differently and provide different effects.

You're going to be much closer following mass measurements than volume ones - your flour may have different moisture and protein levels than the author's. But those are minor compared to the >25% variations in flour when measured by volume.
That also means that it entirely favors people with the sort of disposable income that such a charge is meaningless, making it pretty regressive. I'm not saying it's wrong, but I can understand why some people feel that it's unfair.

Yes, board game adaptations are just a digital version of the board game. And they're often well done.

One I just got recently and really like is The Grizzled, although I wouldn't recommend that to someone who isn't familiar with the game already (at least watch a video).

Some more accessible board game adaptations are Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, Lost Cities, Kahuna, Raiders of the North Sea, Wingspan, Santorini, Sagrada.

If you want some games with more meat on them, check out Twilight Struggle, Spirit Island, Terraforming Mars, or the Through the Ages you recommended.
Oddly, NYC is archipelago city, and the only way from Long Island/Brooklyn/Queens to New Jersey is via Manhattan, hence the congestion. I guess one could take the huge detour via Staten Island, but the Verrazzano already has a big toll.

If only the roads were planned bit better.
This guidance may help for sample collection, but wouldn't fully address the whole chain of custody. If the test equipment or handling tools/processes in the lab expose the samples to PFAS, then the test is botched. And this is challenging because PFAS are so prevalent and ubiquitous.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to have a test available for PFAS levels. However I've previously been denied a test from the medical provider due to the issues I've outlined above. So I think it would be helpful to know if/how they have addressed this problem.
"so you can't blame Rubio for indulging it."

He's got access to a lot more than us. This isn't just some congressman indulging it for the lulz. It's so funny to see the mental gymnastics people here make to discredit some of our most elite intelligence officials. Even Rubio is having trouble believing it but he's now admitting to have talked to people with direct access to the program. Grusch is as credible as it gets. He said he spent four years investigating this before he came to the conclusions that these secretive exotic craft programs exist.
Thanks! That worked, it was a check.
Went to doctors dozens of times with severe but vague symptoms. Was admonished repeatedly for doing my own research. All the doctors get saying it was anxiety, and that I was simply a hypochondriac. After years of this found out I had 3 fairly uncommon conditions that mixed to produce crazy issues. Proper treatment resolved my issues.
I’ve met many others who have had similar problems.

How do you backup photos without iCloud?

I know it's possible, and I have a janky solution myself, but it really seems like iCloud is the only way to go without going through lots of hoops and still having a solution that's imperfect at best.
At the very least, that's an issue that GMP or other projects shouldn't have to worry about. There are many options - you could manually cache things somewhere or pack in the dependencies in the repo. Or, maybe, in a world that wasn't completely set on wasting all resources possible, there just wouldn't be pointless automatic builds on forks, and those builds wouldn't need to re-download the world and could instead just incrementally update. (yes, there are nice consequences of doing fresh builds always, but there are also bad ones as can be seen, and unfortunately the downsides aren't seen by the initiator)
I'm genuinely curious, how does the hardware investment make sense for a SaaS platform when bare metal can be leased as a service from Equinix and such?

As long as p2p exit nodes are relatively uncommon, it will be relatively unbelievable for you to claim that "someone else" was doing the illegal things on your network.

But if p2p exit nodes were orders of magnitude more common, then the burden of proof would indisputably be the responsibility of the prosecutors, since anyone could credibly claim "someone else did it."

And that's why this trope of "but what if someone does bad stuff on your network?!" is so frustratingly self-defeating: if everyone just ignored that risk, then everyone could have a p2p exit node, and the risk would be mitigated. It's a sort of prisoner's dilemma where nobody wants to be the early adopter of a system that would, on the whole, benefit all of us.

A society is difficult to surveil when everyone uses Tor as both a client and an exit node, and onion routing is the default method of exchanging packets (some might say it should have been incorporated into the original design of the internet). So it's perhaps worth noting that adversaries of society, such as the NSA or FBI, have a great incentive to perpetuate fearmongering about p2p networks and the threat of "but whatabout muh criminals on muh network!"

If you're reading this, maybe it's time to setup a Tor relay (with config flag `ExitRelay 1`).

Do you use paid features of Plex and if yes, which ones? Im using Plex daily to stream shows stored on a SSD connected to Windows laptop. I think I would not miss on any paid features they provide.

I appreciate its novelty at the time, and its nostalgia now. It was used in a lot of public buildings in the 1970's because it tended to be more economical than Ivy League looking brick buildings with white trim. I appreciate that its design had something to say, even if that thing wasn't clear or useful. Now public buildings look like boring brick boxes with maybe a curved wall or some other "accent".
> The people who set the trends in the development industry are extremely smart.

Sure. But, why do the trends keep changing, then? Why don't these smart people just get it right once and for all?

It's because, frankly, the people who set the trends are often wrong. E.g., Java-style OOP with deep single-inheritance chains is not even considered good style IN JAVA anymore.

They're just celebrities, and we're (as a group) just as susceptible to group-think and cargo-culting as people who try every fad diet because some celebrity did it.

The cancellation varies depending on the service. For Proton VPN for example, the cancellation now does not force downgrade you right away. But for Proton Mail, we have kept the legacy method of immediate downgrade because that service involves data storage. Because VPN has no data storage, so we can auto downgrade you at the end of the subscription to the free plan. This doesn’t work for Proton Mail because auto downgrade to free might require randomly deleting emails to fit under the free storage quota. So for that reason we ask users to actually downgrade at the time they decide to downgrade to resolve storage quota issues themselves since we cannot automatically do that later on their behalf.

I think/thought this thread had devolved into 'regular' loaf bread - indeed my pizza dough spends at least a day in the fridge after a slightly shorter time 'bulk' outside.

Interesting you say that though, because I find three days about the limit, starts to really over-ferment, becoming really 'pockety', even at refrigeration temperatures. I suppose if I did it all in there as you imply, no fermentation time at room temp. at all, that might be better?
Yes, and …

“Calories in” is half. “Calories out” (the amount you burn) is the other half.

I completely understand your points. Git is indeed an exceptional distributed version control system and has served projects like Linus and Bitcoin really well.

However our platform isn't trying to solve a deficiency in git. Rather, it aims to introduce new features and capabilities that might not be essential to every project but could be beneficial to some.
The introduction of a blockchain layer offers immutable, transparent and tamper proof versioning of code. It is augmenting the current collaboration flow. This could be crucial for certain projects where provenance and auditability are paramount.

Regarding tokenization, it could provide a novel means to incentivize open-source contributions. It might help projects attract and reward contributors, something that has been a long-standing challenge in open source development.
In contract to traditional project governance models, Gitopia could foster a more decentralized approach for governance (even for projects), every token holder could have a say in the decision making, reducing the risk of undue influence by a single party, hence eliminating centralized control.

The need for these features varies greatly depending on the nature of requirements of each project . We believe in providing tools and options for those who find them useful or necessary. We are not suggesting a replacement of git or traditional practices, but rather an additional option for certain contexts.
If you want the "full experience," just set yourself up as a Tor exit node. You'll rapidly find it's impossible to use the internet from the same connection. VPN services are more and more falling into the same category. Even just "cloud provider" IP ranges are broken often enough to be noticeable - I run an Outline VPN on DigitalOcean droplets every now and then, and I've found that that's enough to get me 403'd from a lot of sites.
