Adobe's experimental Photoshop features have been a game-changer for me. We write a lot of stories on our blog profiling successful founders.

But a lot of them don't have high quality horizontal photos I can use as a blog header.

They've got great vertical photos. But getting horizontal that worked well with LI/Twitter preview was a huge drag. Now, I can just take their vertical photos, and use generative fill to extend the canvas out to horizontal.

Super easy, and very nice, high-quality output. It's wild.

> I can't do with Wayland. Give me a fucking solution

You can. It'll use XWayland. I'm assuming you are speaking about ssh -X or its friends. It's transparent for you, you don't have to configure anything for this. Yes, it's still using X for this use case, but I don't see how it is a Wayland issue. The protocol that talks with your hardware / local graphic stack does not have to be the same as the one talking on the network. The problematic thing is that it has X11 limitations like not changing the DPI of the window when moving it across screens, but that's also true on a X11 session.

I'm still using X11 but I'm close to switching to Wayland, KDE on Wayland has improved a lot recently.
That seems a big stretch, especially for the purposes of lumping it in with fire and combustion engines. Being crushed under a wheel has more to do with circumstance than the wheel itself, whereas fire and combustion engines (though the more I say that, the more I realize they're both the same thing) are a negative impact by their very usage.

If we go by circumstance, anything can be a danger, or a non-danger. And the solution is to be more mindful of our circumstances. What we're trying to identify in this thread are the practices that, while being immediately beneficial, are also immediately negatively impactful, even if it took us years (dozens, hundreds, or thousands thereof) to learn about the negative impacts. And following that, to be more mindful of which practices may have similar negative impacts, and be forward thinking about that possibility rather than reflectively regretful.

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish

The "embrace, extend, and extinguish" strategy is introducing a technology compatible with competitors, extending that tech with proprietary additions, then using those differences to disadvantage competitors.

The "embrace, extend" phrase appeared in a 1996 New York Times article on Microsoft, and for a decade or two was considered Microsoft's de facto strategy.

This and elements where the intro to ML for me as well.

I understand your sentiment but we also have to accept that for a lot of Ml usecases just calling ChatGPT api is 100x better approach than creating your own Ml model, and thus there is really no need to understand any math.

As an example I am building an Ai nutrition counting app. And I use ChatGPT function calling. I can just add a field that has say an emoji of the good and it automatically classifies any food to the right emoji. There is absolutely no need to know gradient descent or any fundamental property to be able to do that.

Built my first Mac app in a while this month, electron based because it does the job.

Really unsettling to me that something running fine all working good I upload it to my web space and download it again and now launching the app says “this app is damaged, contact the developer” and the only option is “move to bin” or cancel.

Now I understand the gatekeeper system well enough at least I thought I did that I was expecting to have to right click open which is pretty standard in Mac land now. But it took me some digging that this “broken” message is just about signing nothing else, the app isn’t broken at all it’s just not been signed.

I understand the reasons gatekeeper exists and I agree with them mostly but changing this messaging from “unidentified developer” to “broken” feels like an aggression against being able to build software without paying the $99 toll gate.

I eventually found a way around it after 3 hours to get the old style “unidentified developer” message without paying Apple. But there was so little info around in half considering making a tutorial explaining it.

But yeah my point mostly is Apple trying to force the hands of developers by escalating warning messages is very worrying to me. None of this was needed from OS X 10.0 to 10.10 not sure why the aggression is needed now, because the Mac App Store is a failure you need to force the hands?

Thunderbird, for better or worse, has always had its own unique look. The reason is pretty simple. They don’t have the resources to create a “universal” design that works across OSes.

I think it makes sense that they accept they’re unlikely to achieve a decent OS specific look and therefore they’re focused on creating its own unique style.

If you don't mind, can I ask why you use plain JavaScript rather than TypeScript?

The product is truly remarkable, so what technologies used under the hood doesn't matter,

> If it's truly bad for all parties, there'd be no Uber Eats, no one would order from Uber Eats, no restaurant would sign up, and no one would deliver.

What a strange take.

If I take 3 billion dollars and setup a company that flies in people from other parts of the country at a loss to do your job for half the money you get for it, and have everyone compete for it, then when you lose your job and the business you worked for gets dependent on a business model requiring cheap disposable labor and I own the market I then I jack up prices to more than you were being paid but take the difference as profit, would you consider that a win for all parties?

There are many fields you could take a closer look, but it heavily depends on your personal preferences. Work you won't like is far more difficult to grasp and execute.

I got a small part of knowledge from studying and a large parts in a laboratory with peers or by just dabbling in topics of interest. At that time I leaned heavily in low level systems programming. But that was probably because we had so many toys to play with at our university (which often received presents from large companies to draw students toward their tech).

On the theoretical side I wouldn't pay any attention to the latest IT buzz, but looking into tensor algebra, number systems like quaternions and numerics in general have a very broad application in modern computing and I think university is a good place to take the time to lean into such topics. Not becoming an expert, but perhaps forming an understanding why and where such tools are applied.

A unified folder is extremely useful for such people.

I agree, because of AGB-law, though that depends on some stuff, the usual EULA-void rules were because you had to buy the software before agreeing to the EULA instead of the other way around. Not sure what would happen here.

But IIRC that is generally not relevant for contracts between companies, only between consumers and companies. Not quite sure about that part, though.

Yes, but it does contribute to the somewhat fuzzy rules on whether someone is a contractor or employee.

See: https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc762

It's mostly not whether they can contractually demand any one particular thing. It's the sum total of behavioral and financial control they exert. Exclusivity would be a pretty big ticked box.

If Uber/Doordash tick enough of those questions, then they are at risk of having to treat their drivers as employees. Which is more expensive.
