Shameless plug, animation trying to illustrate a Trinitron aperture grille scanline effect in 140 js chars:

https://www.dwitter.net/d/12335

Although like the author I feel like the Trinitrons don't look so good. Although this is entirely subjective, I'm pretty sure I grew up on playing games on a "crappy" old shadow mask TV where the colours seem to bleed together better because of the subpixel arrangement that I think makes it blend on the Y axis as well as the X axis.

[edit]

Hah, found my old TV/monitor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7S_WLrvHW8 Can't figure out if it's a shadow mask or not though.
Dishonest when many EU countries are arresting journalists who report on what the governments are doing.
So I work daily in resolve. I had a project come up at home, where i was like oh ill just use resolve as it has everything we need.

Within 2 minutes, I was running into features i needed to pay for. Within 20 minutes I had bought a home copy because of how integral it is to my workflow.

They get people in by being able to do the basics, but anything remotely complex, you pay for.
High-level summary:

> problems if you link code built with different versions

But that has nothing to do with semver.

Semver gives you information about when when you can replace one version with another version. It doesn't promise that you can mix multiple versions together.
High-DPI OLED can do even better than the analog effect of CRT's. The latter is basically like a Gaussian blur (which is the best you can do in the purely analog domain!) but a high-DPI screen can use Lanczos upscaling for a much sharper effect, somewhat reminiscent of the look of oil or water-color paintings. There are also pixel-art specific upscaling algorithms that preserve the limited color palette of old retrogames while still smoothing out lines and curves.
Yes, friction, also exacerbated by shrinkage during cooling.
Rowing is fantastic for this. There is a good balance between cardio workout and strength. If your day job involves sitting in a chair for eight hours a day then the all over effect finds those muscles that you don't use very often and tones them up.
National Socialism is a type of socialism and the National Socialist party platform is overtly socialist in every way if you want to look it up in historical documents. The ludicrous idea that they were "right" was a crude smear from the communists who were merely trying to undercut a competing gang. A smear even more ludicrously carried forward to the present day by the staggeringly ignorant.
This may be close to true if you don't have need for much (or any) health care.

A large number of modern medical treatments would be nearly impossible or prohibitively expensive without plastics, mostly for sterile use reasons. These use cases have saved countless lives. I'm not sure how you'd even begin tallying a count.
Blackmagic is primarily a hardware company, yes, but the free version of Resolve doesn’t cut it for professional work. As soon as you start doing anything serious, you need Studio. It is, however, only $299 one time and works for all versions including upgrades.
Hello friends,

My name is Chao Li and I'm currently the technical co-founder of Whal(https://whal.co/). Before meeting my co-founder, I always had the problem of managing my investments. I have a 401k from Vanguard, a brokerage account from Robinhood, an IRA from Fidelity and an investment account from Acorns. I always wonder what if there is an App can help you manage all the investment accounts altogether in one App? That's how we started building Whal to simplify investing and make people lives easier.

Feel free to ask me any questions and I'd be very glad to answer them!

+1 on the 3d printing, portong parts from 3d printed rapid prototypes to machined / molded / forged / cast production parts involves much more work and effort than most people think. Including engineers and even manufacturing engineers...
I think so too. I use Prolog for data analysis now because it allows me to include both symbolic knowledge and numeric information. If the numeric modelling elements are straightforward, I code them in Prolog, and if they are not I call out to other things. The state of Prolog is such that I have to deal with a lot of integration/API/library related friction as a result, but I think that the benefits are worth it.
Because they're trying to make a living from software? And why the fuck, exactly, should they not do that? Reread your comment and perhaps you'll see how insufferably entitled, as well as naive, it sounds.
Glad to have a separate camera app for ‘pro’ settings so I can continue to use my regular Camera app for optimal settings when not retouched.
As nice as that would be, I think they probably thought including that in the bill would greatly increase the risk of it failing to pass. What we've gotten here is an improvement, even if it could be better.
It's not true that tips are known up front. E.g. when you're travelling, you don't know. And taxes are (can be) also known up front. But that's the point - avoid the guesswork and let me know what you expect me to pay.
Wishlist Hearts: The Psychology Behind Digital Desires
In the expansive realm of e-commerce, one small icon has emerged as a particularly poignant symbol of our desires: the wishlist heart. Often depicted as a heart, this icon stands at the intersection of aspiration and acquisition, and it offers an intriguing lens into our digital shopping behaviors.

The Heart as Desire:
Historically, the heart has been a symbol of emotion, passion, and desire. It's no accident that e-commerce platforms have adopted it to represent wishlists or favorites. By clicking this heart, users express a longing. It's a nod to "I desire this," even if they're not ready to commit to the purchase just yet.

The Power of Deferred Purchasing:
Having a dedicated space for coveted items allows users to defer purchasing decisions. This delay can serve multiple purposes: waiting for a price drop, evaluating if the desire is a fleeting whim or a genuine need, or simply savoring the joy of anticipation. It's the digital equivalent of window shopping.

Building a Personalized Experience:
For e-commerce platforms, wishlists provide valuable insight into user preferences. By analyzing items that frequently appear in users' wishlists, businesses can offer targeted promotions, recommend similar products, or even forecast trends. https://icons8.com/icons/set/ecommerce

The Emotional Investment:
Every time a user adds an item to their wishlist, they're making a small emotional investment. This action increases the chances of a future purchase. After all, the item is just a click away, constantly reminding the user of its existence and their initial interest.

Nudging Towards Purchase:
E-commerce sites often leverage wishlist data to nudge users towards completing a purchase. If a wishlisted item goes on sale, for instance, the user might receive a notification. It’s a potent mix of temptation and urgency.

Conclusion:
The wishlist heart, in its simplicity, captures a complex interplay of emotion and commerce. It serves as a digital canvas for our desires, aspirations, and purchasing intentions. As e-commerce evolves, so will the ways we express and interpret digital desire, but for now, the heart remains a powerful symbol of what we yearn for in the vast online marketplace.
They most certainly can but the requirements are steep. Being able to run at 4K/120Hz is where you start to get very accurate simulation of a CRT. You need a high resolution to draw the phosphors, mask, and bloom. You need the high refresh rate to be able to have realistic phosphor draw and decay.
Was this tested with dedicated instances? Would there be a potential difference if it was?
In the UK there's no tip included by default.

Wages of workers is included, just like the other overheads are. If you want to give a gift to someone -- a tip -- how could that possibly be even known in advance.
Yes, while many serious users will need to go up to the paid version of Resolve, mainly they want to sell you cameras, capture and playback hardware, vision switchers (like the ISO ones that record the individual streams and then create a Resolve project for you to re-edit it if you want).
Thank you so much for this article series! It's much needed and I love reading each installment.
Throwing shade at the FSF by not calling it GNU+Linux?
>Most obviously for display, tv, or radio ads you cannot ensure correct taxes in the advertisement.

They really shouldn't be advertising false claims in the first place.

>It also doesn't work for online sales, where the final price can depend on the final destination of the goods or service. e.g. the taxes cannot be displayed until you've been given a street level address.

That one has an easy solution: Just ask for the destination.
And yet the register magically knows how much tax to add for each and every item you buy. I could maybe agree with your argument if taxes changed often, but they don't, and it's very much possible to calculate them beforehand and display full price.
As Rust folks keep re-discovering in compiler regressions, likewise LLVM has many of the limitations of the C and C++ abstract machine model.
That's because other countries aren't as aggressive about pushing governance down to a local level.

For example: in most countries you include sales tax in your advertisement, because why wouldn't you? In the US there is no countrywide sales tax, there are some states with literally no sales tax, and then there are states with high sales tax to compensate for zero income tax (which is excitingly regressive taxation).

Then inside the states each county can have its own array of sales and service taxes, which can also vary according to the goods and services involved, and finally individual cities in those counties can also have their own.

Core to this is that the US constitution explicitly enshrines federalism in the tenth amendment (the last part of the "bill of rights"), that explicitly limits the power of the federal government.
AnySoftKeyboard works on Android 12 and 13 and has arrow keys available in one of the default layouts. I’m actually using my own customized layout since it was pretty easy to make one a few years ago. If you want a layout that is customized to your needs and has all the exact characters you need, I would recommend looking into it. I think it was just editing an XML file and building the layout in Android Studio (the layouts are installable as separate add-ons for the main app).
Never heard of that, sounds funny. :-)
Yeah, we should make this national policy but make it include tax and government mandated fees too. I don't mind listed prices not including shipping fees because that requires knowing where I want something shipped to and how. As long as that's clearly disclosed before I pass the point of no return in a transaction, shipping fees aren't such a big deal.
Could this also work as an alternative to Apache Solr? If so might be worth while to market it that way a bit.

I don't really know much about Solr but just started using it while helping with a project for openlibrary.org and it seems pretty alright but I'm still not totally sure I understand what makes it popular.
If I understand it correctly, this is postprocessing software?

Why is it called "camera" and tied to the iPhone?

Shouldn't this be a website where you upload a photo, adjust it, and then download it again?
Tryton: Open-source, modular ERP with seperate server, desktop and web client

They make their money on very nice, very expensive professional control surfaces, cameras, and lots of other gear. Davinci Resolve is free because they realize funneling people into their ecosystem, having them learn how to use Resolve, instead of Avid/FCP/Lightworks/Premier/etc, which means that's what they're going to go with when they have the money to spend on gear. It'll just work better together. Like if you buy all Apple products instead of random company's stuff.
Please remember to put the download link at the top of the article or promotional material for quick access. I had to scroll down to the bottom of this 200 screen article and wasn’t sure I’d even find a download button when I got to the bottom.
So would this enable people to get an actual price for medical services BEFORE using them?
> Depression, anxiety, irritability, distress

I'm now at a point where I manage to take a step back when I feel generally down, and just look into whether I had enough sleep, or if the weather is crap. These are the two most important predictors for whether I'll find my job to be terminally depressing, or my situation to be doomed ; and I try to convince myself to take my distress with a fistful of salt then, and wait to be less tired or the weather to get better, before I overanalyze my situation.

It does not always work, but sometimes it helps a little with rationalizing

Even using your numbers from OECD, US taxes revenues per capita are still higher than France in real dollars ($22k vs 20k)! The US Government doesn't have a revenue problem, it has an efficiency and cost control problem.

For example, The US government healthcare spending per capita is 2.5X (250%) that of France- ($10.5K vs $4K per person), and France gets a universal national health insurance for that price, and the US gets medicare and medicaid. [1,2] Yes- you read that right, and it is still true if you adjust for PPP.

The same phenomenon holds true across almost every aspect of US government spending.

Look at infrastructure. The cost to build subways and light rail in the US is 2-7 times higher than in Europe. [3]

Look at defense. US spends ~300% as much as France, which is actually higher than most western European countries.[4]

From a purely numerical sense, the US can't overcome an efficiency problem by raising taxes and throwing more money at it.

I think there was a post a few months ago that in recent AMD CPUs with up to date microcode, mitigations=off actually runs slower than leaving them on. This here seems to be the final nail in the coffin for turning them off, at least on AMD. In the very beginning we decided to turn them off on our fleet of Linux devices, but stopped after that post, even though we don't even run any AMD currently.

It's also just not as concerning from a competition or perspective, since taxes apply to all competitors, and none of them have the freedom to set those rates.
It both (minus taxes unfortunately)
Not just that, some businesses that try no-tipping end up having to raise their prices significantly more than the average tip amount, since paying their workers a higher non-tipped wage means they have to pay more in payroll taxes too.
What if my SQL engine is Presto, Trino [1], or a similar query engine? If it's federating multiple source databases we peel the SQL back and get... SQL? Or you peel the SQL back and get... S3 + Mongo + Hadoop? Junior analysts would work at 1/10th the speed if they had to use those raw.

How does air travel interfere with your "living space"?

We have 3 kids and it was never as hard as you're describing, so that probably has something to do with people wanting to have more than one kid.

I don't want to overstep, but you guys are doing it wrong. Your wife sleeping 12 hours doesn't sound right to me. We took shifts, but my wife was going to bed very early (9pm) and waking up around 5 or 6pm and then I'd sleep. She did this so we had a solution that worked for both of us. If your wife is not willing to do that, then you should be swapping nights at the very least.

Your wife sleeping at midnight and waking up so late is not sharing the workload at all and is frankly abusive IMO. I'd also look into postpartum issues since sleeping 12 hours is not normal.

Because it is not postprocessing software, it's a camera app

For some time I was driving to the office (or my clients'), and almost everyday taking a nap in it after dropping the kids at daycare. When we got a minivan I even sneaked a comforter in it. I was going at the lowest level to avoid being seen, and took an extra half hour sleep. It made all the difference. Yet I felt shameful.

I remember the sensation of feeling drained of all energy at 8am, after battling to get kids through the door.

Time plays in your favor. It gets easier, much faster than you think.
As the father of a 3 week old, I feel this!

I've been very interested in getting more data about just how much and what kind of sleep I'm getting. I know smart watches these days claim to provide that. Anyone know how accurate it is, and which watches are best for it?
Also seems to allow setting manual settings during filming. Not sure if that is possible in the native camera app on iPhone.
There are probably manufacturing benefits of vacuum welding for some niche use cases, but it's a thing that happens with vacuum, not microgravity. Because it's cheaper to build a volume under high vacuum here on Earth than it is to send equipment up to space, that means it can't be an economic reason to go to space. It's more that it's one of those "If you're already in space, this probably has uses" things, rather than a "This is going to return on the investment of going to space" thing like Avatar's unobtainium or Andy Weir's special fiber optics.
I see where you're coming from. However, the slight shift, I think, is that nothing lasts forever or changes about the individual in an 'on-platform' way. You can't discern posts by users who came yesterday from a year ago or someone who has received a lot of responses like 'karma' would. The individual user can, of course, by tracking their 'achievements' progress but the validity or interactive nature of the thought is time-bound and 'in the moment'.

wrt to the upsides and downsides of social media, I think this is trying to provide an alternative to the, I've said this in another reply too, 'list style' design choice of most social media. In my personal opinion, I think it's a bit brutish from a design standpoint.

Along with the 'repository' that you can always go back to that makes positing feel like climbing an infinite mountain as opposed to 'theoretically' moments of potential delight that come and go.

This is definitely just a few of my subjective points about what I think Bloom addresses, but I appreciate your point of view!
I don't see how that would work. The merchant does not know what (if any) fees your bank is going to charge; that's between you and your bank.
So I guess we can instantly calibrate performance data now?
In that case, you don’t understand it. This isn’t preprocessing software.

It’s mostly aimed at getting the right shot in the first place, and giving skilled users enough control to make better shots.

So that’s why it’s called camera.
I'm surprised too. Isn't this essentially an ad? I guess it's OK because it's a free app.
You're doing the classic thing of explaining why things are bad and thinking that that is the end of the story.

> The terminal just takes commands from the host and does what it is told.

> that is because the program you are likely interacting with where history is relevant implements it's own repl or command line (i.e. bash, zsh, python, etc...) and it is responsible for it's own histor

I know!!!

My point was why is nobody working on fixing these issues?

The answer is not because it can't be done. That just shows lack of imagination.
>I would absolutely refuse to give every vendor my address just to see a price.

How does it work now? If you don't give your address, but the price depends on your address, how does the store know how much to charge you? If you don't have to give your ID then surely you just say you're from the lowest tax location?

Oh weird, how common is this? I rented from 2002 until 2020, and never experienced anything like this. The advertised rent was always the same as the check I'd mail the landlord every month. Sure, I had to pay for electricity, internet, etc. on my own, but that's expected and spelled out in the lease agreement.

One thing I did learn was to check on things like ISPs beforehand. You know the address of the place, so you can visit your preferred ISPs' websites and see if they offer service before you sign the lease. Ditto for cell service; when initially looking at a new place, I'd always check my cell phone to make sure I'd get decent service inside.
> have to be tuned in to the latest local vibes so as not to unintentionaly run afoul of some obfuscated social rules

You do realise you are travelling to a foreign country, right? This rings to me like Americans who travel to Spain and complain about the siesta, or Argentina and how late they dine.

Lots of local government means taxes change over smaller distances in America than most of the world. Also, most retailers here use paper labels—a result of historically-low inflation expectations. It’s easier to implement that complexity at check out than on the shelves. (I’d also guess that America’s credit card use means more check-out stations are digital than in much of the world.)

Add to that a cultural distrust of taxation and government, a decreasing tendency to use cash and a higher income per capita and you have a genuine difference in preferences.
It doesn't promote transparency. It means you still don't know how much something is going to cost by looking at the listed price of that thing. That's the opposite of transparency.

Including taxes and fees in the advertised price won't prevent stores (or anyone else) from making it clear what percentage of that price comes from taxes and government fees. I'd love to see more stores provide an itemized breakdown of those fees so that we can see how much of the price to blame on greedy vendors vs sneaky governments.

What I want most of all though is to only ever pay what the listed price of an item is. I want to be able to walk in with a single $5 bill and pay for something that says it costs $5 and have that be the end of it. It should really just be that simple. Other countries do it. We can too.
+1 to this! There's no friends, though, just members of individual gardens. But everything else is spot on haha!

I appreciate you, bbbor! :)
I lose it when I go to an arcade and they have some bootleg emulator running with one of those hideous blurry upscaling filters turned on.

Surely if you want to shoot professional footage, you use a professional camera, with an actual lens, with a full frame sensor - not something which has been scaled down to the extent that it relies on digital hallucinations to make an acceptable looking image.
