I can't tell if this bill is aspirational or serious.

The issue many might have is this shifts government and companies into the role of parenting by proxy. And I don't think many Americans want to become Britain with the Big Nanny "think of the children" making the world perfectly safe for absentee-parented children, but unusable and privacy-invasive for everyone else.

IANAL, but 1st a. and exceeding regulatory authority challenges would seem to happen.

Well, a simple google search shows what little we thought was produced was likely over-estimated but it is clear that, however little it was, it wasnt enough to make things happen.
Obviously this sucks for those impacted, but it’s a relatively small cut (2% of employees). I wouldn’t necessarily read a major culture change at REI from this alone. It seems to be business-as-usual for a company operating at a modest loss in a high interest rate environment.

I have mixed feelings here. I’m a longtime REI shopper and I personally haven’t ever interacted with a “team lead” (role laid off). I mostly order online and sometimes browse their used gear section while in store. I rarely talk to the employees, and to be honest the ones at my store seem kind of annoyed most of the time.

On the other hand laying off senior team members is a speedrun nuke of employee morale. You’re taking a place where people thought they could work for years and basically showing them there’ll be no career progression.
Yes, DAP is another protocol for remote debugging. I was thinking for debuggers that can already debug locally but want to show type info or various definition of entities in the source code.
Truly horrible.

If this kind of small-minded anti-intellectual and anti-science act had been put in place in 1900, the "No Fakes Act" would have meant no phonographs or recording of music. You must listen to actual music, not fake replicas recorded on cylinders or disks.

Just like we have a revolution in music because of recording technology, and a revolution in art because of photography, we will have a revolution in movies because of replicas.

People like this want to stop progress at all costs. Society should wither away, never changing, never adapting to new technologies, never discovering anything new. Until some country that isn't so small minded ignores these arbitrary rules and eventually takes over as the preeminent scientific and cultural power in the world.

We have always had the right to impersonate people and clone their voices. Since the dawn of time. This is taking away yet another fundamental right of everyone in order to commercialize it for massive companies. Just like copyright became this multi-lifetime shackle around the necks of society recently, this too will further restrict the development of our culture.

I’m using Dark Reader extension on sites like that. It may sound absurd to do that, but it actually re-colors bs colorschemes and has quick settings for relative brightness, contrast and saturation, so you can tune it to acceptable levels. Without it my eyes bleed on dark toxic sites as much as yours. It also works good with syntax highlighting, because it uses “dynamic coloring” which guesses best color maps for every page.

A number of companies produce products only sold outside of the host country. The only way those citizens in the host country can access the goods is through an importing company with exclusive distribution rights. This often happens in the food and drink industries. An USA importer may be importing products manufactured in the US but only sold outside of the USA. This happens in the alcohol industry frequently.

The hit target is much bigger than the visual scrollbar. It is useful to drag the scrollbar for very long lists, but hardly the norm.
A gesture is an action. It's good, and it works as intended.

A scrollbar is (also) an indication, glanceable, not requiring any action.

If someone among your friends and family has an iOS device, remember how many times you had to show them that certain screens can be scrolled down? Oh, not just down, but also to the right? There used to be a few perfectly aligned views that had no indication whatsoever that there's more to them is you scroll.

Narrow but visible scrollbars would solve this easily.

You can make stereograms with your Lytro, but you're limited to center to center distances less than the diameter of the lens.

I was surprised when the Lytro came out and it was so tiny. To be properly useful, it needed about a 10" diameter outer lens.

There are ways to take multiple conventional exposures from the same plane, and generate a virtual focal plane after the fact. I've been manually doing that (using Hugin and a python script) since I heard (in 2008) of Marc Levoy's experiments at Stanford.
As I mentioned in another comment -- no, their options will not be underwater, because the strike on their options is set by the 409A value, which will have been far less than 1.5B. It wouldn't be unusual to see a company that's got its preferred stock valued at 1.5B and its 409A at 400M.

Obviously not, but you also shouldn't expect the whole world to be designed around your needs. If you have difficulty using the expected input method, you should use alternatives with the same functionality, not expect others to redesign their apps in your preferred way.

This a perfect situation for cheap knockoffs to proliferate though.

My dad wanted a Theragun and bought one on Amazon. He thought he got a deal and it looked just like a Theragun until it arrived and he saw the cheap power connectors and no external battery.

Amazon is more than happy for cheap knockoffs to spread and rip people off by gaming thr product search system. Sure, middlemen are being cut out, but in many cases, so is the previously trusted vendor.
So that's what the $10 billion is for.
> You are being silly about "the law!!!", right?

I really do believe this. software will eventually change the very nature of human language and hence of human thought

I picked up this line of thought from an academic Walter J. Ong who wrote a book "Orality and literacy" in which he argues that literacy (written word) changed how we think.

so I just extend that reasoning. I think that software constitutes a larger change in humanity's thought than the printing press; but that's like my opinion man
The web says that astigmatism leads to glowing, blurry text when it is shown white on dark. The iris narrowing in bright conditions seems to reduce the effect, while the widened iris in low light seems to worsen it.

Even without patching the standard library:

Given the mechanics of this I wouldn't claim it meets a strict definition of point-free, but that's an iterated application of operator-like methods omitting any explicit named/positional argument references.
When I was in Greece a few years ago, I noticed every store had plastic bags (and no paper bags). There's no charge for them also, and they're much sturdier than the plastic bags you sometimes still find in Canada/U.S.

This is not a real problem faced by most people. IMO, this is just people being used to doing it another way.
If you are genuinely committed to landing a job in Silicon Valley, you may need to start somewhere else and truly exceed expectations. Would working for a tech company in the midwest be better or worse than your current situation? If it would be better then why not try that first?

From there I would suggest the following:

- If your craft isn't already your main hobby, turn it into your main hobby.

- Network as much as you can. Meetup.com is very useful for this purpose.

- Use your network to find a mentor. Someone knowledgeable who has achieved what you're aiming for and is willing to help you.

Many people in tech do the bare minimum and still manage to build impressive careers. If you excel at your job, are passionate about your craft, and can construct a compelling narrative to market yourself to employers, you'll be ahead of most of the competition. Most of the competition never makes it to sv, but if you are ahead of them then you're moving in the right direction.

And so what if you fall short and end up in Cincinnati, able to afford a comfortable life? Would that really be so bad?

I mean the arcade version of Daytona USA, which ran on a dedicated 3D arcade hardware (The Sega Model 2) that predated the Saturn by 2-3 years.

Part of the reason why the Saturn port of Dayton USA was so good, is because the game was designed for the Model 2 hardware, and the Saturn's 3D capabilities were cost-optimised versions of the Model 2 3D capabilities.

VDP1 was designed to do 3D. It's not just a 2D sprite engine that developers later tricked into doing 3D, it was absolutely intentional that it would be used for 3D from the very start. the fact the 3D quads could also be used to show thousands of 2D sprites with full scaling/rotation/distorting was more of a intentional bonus of the design.

Yes, Sega did miss a trick by also dedicated a bunch of the silicon budget to 2D-only capabilities. VDP2's four layers of scrolling backgrounds plus two layers of mode-7 style "3D planes" are pretty useless for 3D work. They should have dropped VDP2 entirely and and focused on making VDP1 more powerful.

When games were actually designed around the Saturn's 3D capabilities, the results were pretty good. Daytona is great, Tomb Raider is another great.

Some games went further, going out of their way to adjust their game design so they could take advantage of VDP2's 3D planes. That's the major reason why Panzer Dragoon looks so good, the water is a 3D VDP2 layer. The skybox too, but that's reasonably common technique in Saturn games.
To do that there is the problem that there are some pixels the left eye sees that the right eye sees and vice versa. Probably you can get an A.I. to fill those pixels but you absolutely have to do it.

I think some of the appeal of a good stereogram isn't just that it has the illusion of depth but that it literally has more information than a flat photo because of this, I think it affects emotional scenes in movies since you get to see another 5-10% of the muscles around the edge of the face.

Personally I'm more interested in trying to pick out light rays that arrived on the left vs the right side of the camera (synthesize two apertures as opposed to synthesize a narrower or wider aperture)

If you’re thru hiking across the entire country with 5 lbs of gear you’re either fully van-supported or have done a massive number of food drops to prep. This is something only .001% of backpackers do. It is not remotely common.

I have astigmatism. Bright on dark renders with lens flares.

On a computer I can just use light mode and it’s fine. Driving at night … I really hate bright lights on tall SUVs.

It depends on the root cause. Mine was caused by sinus congestion and inflammation and went away when I started allergy shots. If it’s caused by hearing loss, I think your options are more limited.
When I hiked the AT, my backpack was a previous year's model (2006 Camelbak Cloudwalker, I think) that I bought for $35. It's smaller than most daypacks. In fact, it's still the daypack I usually use but sometimes it is too small for day hikes, like in winter.

I used a summer sleeping bag that was 14 oz after I cut the zipper off (Marmot Pounder, which I wish they still made).

I had a "blue foam" sleeping pad that was cut down to size, which is extremely cheap and light. I now opt for much heavier sleeping pads. When cowboy camping along the AT you do not need much of a sleeping pad because you'll likely be on top of leaves, but on a shelter floor it's not enough.

For shelter, I just had a 6 oz sil tarp for when an AT shelter was full and I expected rain. I set up the tarp exactly once, and it didn't rain anyways.

My spare clothes were a spare pair of socks, a fleece shirt, fleece gloves, and a fleece beanie. None of those were expensive. I had a $0.99 plastic poncho for rain gear.

I did not cook, so no cooking gear. I had a digital camera which I barely used. And then just small stuff like toothbrush, water treatment drops, etc.

My base pack weight was like 6 lbs and change, and I had a tarp and camera I wasn't really using.

So, yeah, you can hike extremely light and not spend a lot of money. It depends on what trip you are doing. I started very late in the season, so the weather was warmer and shelters were not full.

There is a cross browser extension helper in this thread. Maybe it works for you.
No, you're missing the point. It's nothing to do with remotely taking a photo, nor whether or not you publish online.

It's a "all devices need to scan all data and report if anything looks illegal". So yeah, if someone sent you malicious data you could end up being arrested and paraded through the press before silently being release with your life and google search forever tainted.

It's particularly stupid because the government is essentially saying "manufacturers must search your device, and then report the content, and that is probable cause to justify a search warrant", which is obviously absurd.
It works, but not in a way you'd like it to.

A related saying of some guy who knew this stuff: "You can make a throne of bayonets, but you can't sit on it for long". You can force people with punishment, but they will try to revolt and get revenge once they have a chance; even a small chance, and a small revenge.

This is why, in the good old days, UI folks got all worked up when programmers reimplemented basic controls, because they always did it half-assed and could not connect into all the other parts of the OS that users can configure, or have connections to accessibility software, etc...

But the horrors became so frequent that we all became numb, and now even Windows ships with more UI disarray than could have been imagined in the early 2000s...
