Ash HN: Why does Windows not let you rename bookmarks / pins?
Right click folder -> Pin to quick access (this is like ctrl+D for Linux bookmarking).

You are NOT allowed to rename the bookmark! How is this acceptable for a multi-billion dollar company ? This is a basic features that has existed for many decades on every Linux distro I know.
I mean, why don't you want to hire Bernie Madoff's accountant? He was still solving accounting problems, and he'll be out of jail any day now.
Well Figma started eating their lunch in 2015 having started with a 4 millions seed round and 15 employees for two years so it’s clearly is doable to take on Adobe with far less money that they themselves spend provided your offer is good.
Your writeup is amazing. I also want to mention that.... not just accessibility but general usability has also tanked recently, so even people without disabilities suffer. I have no idea how we got to this point but I feel like we are steadily devolving our interfaces and our technology to worse, dumber and harder-to-use variants.

It's simply astonishing how with all this computing power, we are just wasting it but aren't improving things meaningfully.
Very true, but a decent salary in, say, Poland is much less than in California.

I have my system configured to auto-delete all applications containing the phrase "full stack".

Best decision I ever made.
That is addressed to some degree in the linked discussion. I appreciate your thought but if you could take into account how it's already been engaged with and factor that into the discussion it would help move things forward.
No idea about Paint.Net but there is not a single thing i could name that I am missing with Gimp.

The only downside of Inkscape is that it doesn't properly open and save the most recent Adobe formats other than that I also have no idea why I would need anything more than what Inkscape offers.

Sure the Adobe tools have a lot to explore, a lot of buttons and options hidden in millions of submenus.

But a good portion of computer users have only a limited need for tools like this, no interest in that constant learning curve after major updates and no use for all those advanced features.

Imagine I learned using these tools 20 years ago, and while they heavily improved they still work exactly the same. Every time I meet Photoshop it 180d their design and button placements...

My point is you do not need to feature match Adobe to compete, making it more accessible alone could be a selling point.
Can you tell direction of a sound just by turning your head? Congrats, you can detect the difference of less than 1ms.

The article is about a 7 year old build of Windows 10. Windows 11 has made some improvements since then so using such apps could actually make it worse for you.
If you have a total ordering and can get away with pulling the entire contents, just hash it. You don't have to contend with any of the sets stuff.

Indeed.
I have both signals coming in at the same time and can superimpose them. Completely different situation.

Like tuning strings by hearing when you can pluck both strings at the same time, vs doing it using absolute pitch.
So it does seem they have something even for vegans. Something doesn't mean that the entire selection is built around your particular quirks.
Really confused by this.. $235K is not nearly enough to make even one of these apps.
Unless they can get devs to work for free it's not happening.

Also Affinity exists, their suite has basically the same apps as they claim they will build, they have one-time very reasonably priced licenses. The only potential difference is that you need to pay for major version updates, from 1 to 2 took a bit under 10 years if I'm not mistaken.

Affinity has allowed me to not use Adobe for a long time, (until they bought Figma.. but well).

And it seems odd to me to clone very old software in a world that has evolved.

Anyway, always pro having more options, so good luck to them!
Market share for what? Inflicting ads on people? Fortunately the W3C does not care (directly) about market share.
San is a derogatory word to describe them. In general it refers to several language groups that extend all the way from South Africa to Namibia and Botswana.

So is bushmen. Which does attempt to refer to the San people. It is also considered rude.

It depends on how it is used though. The San council in SA is ok with it’s use in positive contexts.

They have other names by which they refer to themselves.like !Kung. These represent their individual nations.

Himbas don’t have the same language or history as San/Bushmen. Also Himbas raise cattle .. So you are correct that the term “Himba bushmen” is very off. (Although I’m not familiar with Himba’s preferred names)

It’s a very western / German thing to talk like this with out knowing the full context and just assuming “hey they live in the bush lol bushmen”

Yes I should maybe have included it. But to me, that just seems like newspeak for DRM that poses as security.
I tried that too, but it's just not practical. Even just going without gApps is difficult, but doable. Having some sort of encrypted messenger (like Signal) seems kinda necessary in times like these, especially to communicate with others who do not have the same mindset.

My solution is to have as few Apps as possible (I mainly use my smartphone just for texts and calls) and """just""" stop using it all the time, even just leave it at home on purpose sometimes. My screen time is well under 1h per day and that feels really good. I even resist having my mail accounts on my phone, which has two reasons: Not checking it all the time and a little bit security, since no one could access them if i'd lose my phone.

Oh, also one main factor for me was music. I am just very very sensitive to noises around me, especially when programming, so I need to have my NC headphones on while at work. Otherwise I'd go crazy.
wveryone loves to say "metaverse lost 20billion!" implying that 20B was spent on a software game in vr. In reality moat of the money is spent on research, hardware and salaries. Meta has been producing better headsets, researching haptics and becoming a game studio, not simply making horizon worlds.
Isn't W3C already made obsolete by WhatWG, run primarily by Google of course?
Coincidentally, yesterday I was talking with a friend about which terminal we use, and how I went from the default gnome-terminal to the more capable konsole, moved by a silly bug: "Select all" doesn't select _all_ text, but only the text that is currently under view [1].

That's caused by a "temporary" fix in an underlying library, which seems was not so temporary, given that it got into the feature freeze and release of the Ubuntu LTS I use.

This means that for the whole support period of any distro that bundled the broken feature, users will find it and have to work around it, over and over.

Can you imagine if that was for a century?

I think distros should relax their policies and not only accept changes to fix security vulnerabilities (as is the case now), but also to fix promised features that shipped in a broken state. Otherwise, once some broken software ships, it stays broken for the whole lifecycle of the distro, which is bonkers.

[1]: In case anyone can provide further feedback, ideas for the author on how to fix it, or any help. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/2504
This is such a bad take. There’s already a bunch of apps that don’t operate on subscription models - like Affinity Photo, Pixelmator Pro - and free apps like GIMP

Not only that, they cost more than the each of the apps I listed
do you expect a year of 5 stellar devs will be enough to re-implement photoshop?

The same market share that allows them to basically run their shenanigans without any real alternative besides Firefox (which receives hundreds of millions from Google)?

You know I think I converted powers of two and powers of ten interchangeably in my calculations. You're very likely correct.
what are they embracing?! they made this on their own. they're allowed to license it however they want.
Eventually you run into issues with your stack being incompatible with the rest of the world.

Your 20 year old debian won't be able to provide a TLS stack that is compatible with any modern browsers. And you could argue that this is still a "security backport", but backporting a new TLS version isn't like your garden-variety buffer overflow backport patch.
That's the whole point of the changes - we've switched from "spend current money to grow company size and earn more money tomorrow" mode to "that tomorrow has arrived, extract profits now by reducing expenses and keeping headcount low" mode.

Companies are having record profits because they're reducing hiring and having layoffs.
A lot of people continue to use Adobe, no matter how much they rip them off, because there is no alternative, for better or worse, and when someone somewhere says they are going to make apps that can compete with Adobe, I don't think professional quality apps will actually be developed.
How far along are you in you’re career? The first 15 years I was recruiter or responding to ad, but after 20 mostly network.

A lot of folks here are disappointed that the toot/article is an opinion instead of news.

And I feel disappointed that we are more concerned about whether the title should be tagged as opinion instead of the content therein, which is well worth discussing. Talk about missing the forest for the trees.

WEI is one of the most damaging plans that Google has put across in the near past and it is important that we should consider the different avenues of pressure that we can use, to get Google to reconsider.

I get and appreciate the joke but...

- $235k is sweet FA

- Going after Goliath out of gate is a rookie mistake. Niche down as tight as possible. They should be looking for niche Adobe is missing and then continue for there. Don't compete with Adobe. Instead, move into a blue ocean with as little competition as possible.

It'll be interesting to watch but that funding needs a zero or two added to the end.
He states it took 1000 attempts with two steps in the process requiring a "stroke of luck". This doesn't sound like it's going to be easy to replicate or verify.
> Something many other companies have failed to do with bigger teams and more funding.

Even well-established companies once Adobe decides it wants in.

Remember QuarkXPress ?

It was THE desktop publishing software. Anybody who was anybody would use it. They had the monopoly.

Then along came Adobe with InDesign ... Quark are still around, but a shadow of their former shelves.
I would be totally weird out if some of my past co-workers suddenly reaches out to me with bullshit smalltalk to ask for a job.

> Their preferred ecological niche involves poor, salty soil.

This is misunderstood.

Is the same with pines. We see pine forests in terrible windy places, sandy places near beaches and chill snowy mountains. We could conclude that pines "prefer" this areas but is not totally true. Pines grow perfectly in fertile soils, but saplings can't compete and after some time are displaced by other trees.

Conifers are very old plants and survivor masters that can stand bad lands that no other tree can endure. Poor soils equals often land-scars by old wildfires, so pines adapted to fire to spread its seeds and feel at home there even if they grow at a slug pace until eventually making a pine forest. they even evolved to promote fire as defense against competitors. When planted in rich soils pines grow perfectly well and fast, but a pine forest is just "a normal forest without everything else".

Honey and black Locust trees are tolerant to poor soils because they can fix air nitrogen and have deep roots, but when allowed to run free are invasive and deliberately look for riverbeds with fertile soil and plenty of freshwater. In that places they regrow from roots again and again and are practically indestructible.

Its not the skill of the developers thats the problem with offshoring. Its the communication breakdown and difficulty of specifying what you actually want built.
I haven't heard of Graphite. But yeah, Inkscape, Gimp, Dark Table, Blender, etc. World class programs. There's no need for this.
You could have read the whole article, then you wouldn't have missed this paragraph:

"The other, perhaps more urgent issue is the threat of Adobe’s legal department. The marketing and branding of the software looked a little too on the nose for the multi-billion dollar company to ignore. Semple says he’s ready should Adobe decide to flex its legal muscle.

“I have lawyers, and I’ve taken advice. We have solid plans in place. I would also point out that nobody has seen the final branding and no software that infringes on any of Adobe’s trademarks has been produced,” he says.

Examples of the software icons Abode displayed on its Kickstarter.
“I have successfully challenged IP owned by Tiffany and Co, Pantone, Mattel, and others over the years. I feel we have a good and thorough understanding of where the legal line is and an ability to get as close to that as possible without overstepping it.”"
Why exactly it may do worse?
You need at least 25000$ to hire a "decent" Software Dev and 50k for Senior Dev in India. They can produce much better output compared to US counterparts both in terms of Quantity and Quality.

If that dev can't even put a dollar sign in the right place, then I'm not sure the quality is everything you claim.

Attention to detail matters. Especially in coding.
Realistically which production DB tables don't have a unique id? Genuine question, never used one in my life.
> If you're feeling exploited, you're not in the right role.

I mean that's a good attitude, but really some industrues and some fompanies are exploitative.

And I am not talking Cobalt mines or McDonalds. Look at the game industry- really good developers, much more skilled than average web dev, and they get shit pay and long hours. Why does anyone work there? People exploit their passion.

So they are orthogobal concepts - maybe you are passionate, and someone takes advantage of that

I don't think the artist/activist with no business experience, programming ability, who has found "a team of geeks" will succeed in building a full replacement of the Adobe suite.

The extent of this endeavor seems to be the thought "I feel like Adobe products should be cheaper than they are. They must only be expensive because of capitalism" and then the creation of a kickstarter grift.
but the guy who started this kickstarter obviously does not feel that Gimp, Inkscape, Paint.net... are good enough, or he would not plan to build new tools.

So a zillion people working on gimp could not do it, while a handful with 250k in funding can?

This is performance art, not a project.
also note that T2 chips are required for developer enrollment, so if you were hoping to enroll as a dev on your 2017 MBP, youre shit out of luck, go buy a new macbook, for "security" reasons.

their automated enrollment process and developer support are horrendous too imo.
I am going to be pedantic as i am perfectly aware that you do not mean it this way but here we go:

> Security can depend on social contract and not technology.

Social contracts are technology, laws are technology, law as a concept is technology, Society is technology.
People actually do this?
You don’t need to socialize - a recruiter reached out to me and I let him know that I wasn’t in the market, but the guy who had sat next to me for 3 years (open plan offices FTW!) at my last job would be perfect. We weren’t terribly friendly but certainly got on professionally.
If you have no qualms to participate in the lowest kind of corruption, then it's not hard to understand why the labor market is dysfunctional.
You've got the topic of the conversation somewhat wrong.

The problem discussed above was that some people are simply bad at handling the kind of stressful situations that interviews present them with. (Note, it's not necessarily about any stressful situation, just one where you're under intense scrutiny.) Hence, you can end up not hiring someone because they're struggling to show their skills in an interview, even though they'd be an excellent hire otherwise (including being a great team member). This is, indeed, unfortunate.
The nuclear bomb was a mistake. So was subsidized nuclear power and socialization of the cost of storing nuclear waste while allowing energy companies to reap the profits.

That's what also annoyed me a bit so I just contacted them via the link in the bottom of the blog post:

"Hey there,
I just read the "under the hood" blog post about telemetry and have some questions.

First of all, the section "But why collect these data points in the first place?" does not really answer the question. There is no explanation given about why e.g. IP-addresses are collected when, as by your schematics, they are never really used and completely anyway. So why store them in the first place, even if only for 21 days?

Another question I have is, why the de-identification of some items takes place in your AWS environment instead of on device. For example, when talking about the IP-address, it is not used later on anyway. And the timestamp could easily be truncated by the batcher on device, couldn't it?

Looking forward to hearing from you!"
Am i missing something or is there really a way to do this without doing any other additional steps?
I do, and quite frequently.

After more than a 2 decades in software development (rails/web/...), for me to consider a developer to be a senior it needs to:

* Communicate: For example: can explain tech concepts to non tech people, or inform on Monday that the sprint will be unlikely to be done in time.

* Can estimate and adapt to changes. Be boring and predictable.

* Can work/collaborate/teach with other devs.

I got tired of interviewing tech people that though that to be senior is the same as to be specialist (or worse even, that it was related with the number of years).

I think that at the necessary scale it's not possible.

Disease transmission risk would still persist due to transportation and slaughter processes. Some diseases could spread via undercooked milk or meat, and then circulate undetected within humans for a long time.

Even if we constructed near-sterile facilities, a significant number of operations worldwide would still be conducted unsafely. Avian influenza for example is spreading rapidly, allegedly even to wild mammals in South America, cross-contaminating our large domestic bird stocks and mutating there nobody-knows-how.
