> Gimp developers, who have been historically NIH-limited and stubborn (especially about changing the name to something less offensive to the general public)

first thing that pops is a phrase of some biologist regards why evolution made plants green and not blue (physically, blue can absorb way more energy from the sun)... SPOILER: because makes the plantae organisms way more stable rather than performant (which opens up less windows for failings regards evolution).
i use Gimp for digital collages, dead simple pixel-art and even composing a poem book for my beloved one! and that tool if it isn't perfect for the job, is probably about adjusting expectations ¶ why society can't re-signify a offensive word?

we have Krita (i never used) too... Gimp with its core open (viva the GNU license)... who knows how a bunch of hackers doing stuff for free feel when some fancy hipster smelling proprietary apple juice appears suggesting UX re-write (just in case i didn't even read the blog) based on what the rotten industry ⟨most of the time, rot⟩ wants! --cheers to a more slow paced and thoughtful world, by the way

i think pie-menus also should add a keyboard navigation. for me they are more than just controlling stuff with the pointer (interesting mailing list read about what Apple came after a research around 30 million of USD on UX: https://www.asktog.com/TOI/toi06KeyboardVMouse1.html ※ SPOILER: the mouse wins), but, again, for me radial-menus are much more than using the pointer but rather a sweet visualization, too.

different keys on hold for different functions when selecting a pie-menu direction etc. the sky isn't the limit anymore -
also some thoughtful consideration where the mouse should be transported (if at all) when opening certain menus?
This is precisely what we are trying to do at Rizin[1][2]. Though the primary goal of the tool/framework is static analysis. All that portability across OSes, their versions, platforms and architectures, etc is definitely hard. If anyone is interested in these subjects, all contributions are welcome. For example, check out our "RzDebug" label, marking debugging issues[3].

This is the counterintuitive thing. It’s actually good that cars get so messed up in accidents now. It usually means that the energy was dissipated via the cars designed failure modes (like crumple zones) instead of just transferring all of it to you.
One way to look at it is MAUI isn't more official than Avalonia or Uno, it just happens to be primarily driven by dedicated team from Microsoft. However, it does not mean that Avalonia or Uno are inferior due to just this fact.

EF Core in that regard is very similar - you can easily use Dapper instead because it builds on the same primitives from System.Data. Neither MAUI nor other UI frameworks have access to internals of CoreLib or adjacent packages living in dotnet/runtime.

In fact, having multiple libraries solving a particular task is a sign of healthy ecosystem, too much centralization more often than not tends to be harmful.
You just use the words fiscally balanced when describing the American economy. Specifically handing money out. The country cannot even pass single spending bills, you have no idea if it would be fiscally balanced or not. UBI is like communism, it hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried, and would still require taking money from one group and giving it to another. In the past, when the government hasn't been able to do that, they just print more.
Why is it that FM synthesis was so well-suited to relatively simple early digital hardware (eg. Yamaha's DX/TX line)?

Does that also make for relatively simple software FM synthesis?
I think Apple knows what they are doing. The 13" MacBook Pro with touchbar was another odd machine that "shouldn't exist" but it was their second-best selling laptop, presumably because of its form factor, features/performance, and price.
This is a nice idea. I want to call out that I really like how the names are grouped by how they relate with each parent's heritage.

They won't hand out new numbers unless someone has actually used your drivers license fraudulently and you've filed a police report. Seems reasonable enough.
In 2014 we used wkhtmltopdf[0] to generate PDF copies of Cloudfoundry docs for every version every release, and maybe that's what I'd reach for now. Not sure if Qt WebKit has similar limits as Chromium.

Not that you asked, but I am sitting here silently judging whoever let those pages get that large. Enough html to cap out RAM? Chesterton's Fence dictates that I presume your upstream's hands were tied, but wowee!

Nope. The kits (that cost less than 3x the car) suck. The good conversions are largely repurposing modern running gear from a tesla or other ev. Also typically consting more than what you seek to convert.

Just buy and drive a used car. Making more waste is a bigger net environmental harm than running the ice engine.

Do there exist clients that can seamlessly read, cross-post, and reply to multiple social media networks? Something like an RSS feed reader with a unified timeline of posts from any number of networks. Do X and Meta’s terms of service even allow third-party clients there days?

I follow some accounts on both Twitter and Mastodon (as a backup in case the account leaves Twitter or is blocked) so such a client would need some smarts to de-duplicate posts that other people are cross-posting.
> I don’t think anyone interesting is actually on threads.

It depends on who you think is interesting, since some communities are a better match for Elon's X. My experience is that my Threads feed is already more interesting than my X feed.
I think that whole thing was a bit overblown. RHEL is free for individuals. When I need the stability of a server OS, I'd rather just use the real thing.
It’s true, it’s not a big concern, and I’m happy to explain further — no negative tone taken. You’re right, it was a cop-out for me to divert towards other platforms. We do take responsibility for the outcomes of permapeople.

On the original issue, “invasive” plants are not panacea. Invasive plants are only invasive in specific contexts; they’re native somewhere, they’re naturalized somewhere, they’re a nuisance somewhere, and a non-threatening ornamental somewhere else. It’s not as easy as uploading a list. There unfortunately aren’t many international, or even ecosystem specific resources out there. We’re trying to fill that niche by compiling any useful plant data we can find.

The community is international, so we can’t just be blacklisting plants that are invasive according to the USDA. That said, plants known to have this tendency are clearly marked on their profiles.

In addition, we only facilitate the communication of swaps. The communication that happens is obscured from even our eyes. There’s no way for us to control what is traded in the swaps while maintaining secure messaging and privacy.
React has indeed large and thriving community. But personally, I don't understand their roadmap. It was smart decision to open the framework in the early days, but for enterprise we need more control with what's installed. E.g. with vanilla NextJS install I counted over 200 node packages, who have checked if those packages do not have security issues?

We have a shortlist, we are looking at React (with tight control what is installed as additional packages), Angular (we don't have much experience with this framework in house), Oracle JET (JQuery + knockout.js), SAPUI (also JQuery), but the last two frameworks do not have large community, which could possibly mean that in case of issues we are all by ourselves.
That's an interesting article but space dot com is an ad riddled pile of garbage.
Yes and some of these satellites cost more than an aircraft carrier.

Having the x37 try out new materials and parts etc is a great capability that is obviously needed if the US is to maintain its technical superiority.
KH-11 was cheaper than KH-9 by far ($3B vs $16B inflation adjusted, both for 20 satellites), each KH-9 had 4 re-entry vehicles, so you could only really do 4 passes per satellite before needing a new one (or some way to replace the module that housed the RVs).

It's likely that 'we might need to bring them back...' was justification for USAF remaining as a voice in the shuttle program after KH-11 rendered the satellite fleet reusable, though.
Before the Internet, aircraft designs were far simpler and thus it was feasible to do the work at only a few sites. The JSF / F-35 program then went even further by intentionally spreading work across many US Congressional districts plus several allied countries in order to make it politically impossible to cancel.

> For a bilingual child it's much more important for the name to sound the same that to be written the same

Maybe when they're a child, but once they become an adult, having the same spelling becomes important to avoid bureaucratic headaches, especially now that KYC is becoming so strict. Are you sending money to yourself or someone else when the name is spelled differently on the two accounts?
Les Mis has a totally different feel when you've been locked up. It touches me even deeper.
I clicked on one of these links in Google News, and now I get all the click-baits for the Las Vegas GP such as "Las Vegas GP cancelled?". Jalopnik is one of them, but they are all pretty much trash. This is definitely not HN material.
> I tried out Threads during its initial rollout…

FWIW, the experience is completely different than it was during the gold rush. Even the algorithmic feed is surprisingly good once you mute a few morons.
Not music, but in the late 90s or maybe early 2000s there was an anti-smoking PSA involving an old man encouraging a baby to take its first steps. After much encouragement, the baby starts walking, walks over to the old man, and passes right through him as he fades into partial transparency.

The message then rolls that you shouldn't smoke because your early death will deprive you of important moments like this one.

This PSA made far more of an impression than most do -- for example, it's mentioned on Friends -- and I think about it often as an example of how the same basic argument can be made in weak or strong terms. It may have been too strong for its own good; I once asked a friend for help finding a video of it and the response was "Oh, I know exactly the commercial you're talking about. I won't help you look for it; I hate that commercial and I don't want to see it again."

I never was able to find it.

so, artists releasing generated music of such long duration, such that, you could be sure the artist had never listened to the full track themselves?

in particular, artists releasing tracks, boasting: they refuse to listen to their own tracks?

...this is the start of a genre, perfectly coinciding with the proliferation of AI.
You can filter by “native to” “introduced to” or “hardiness zone” among other properties, but plants aren’t usually bound by country like humans are!
Location data is surprisingly inconsistent or incorrect across sources. We’re working to compile what we can be so much data out there is incomplete.
OT: that’s the first time that i consciously see someone using emojis on Hackernews.

Edit: how did you do that, I tried adding one to my comment but it gets removed on post.
the weirdest thing about Threads, for me, is how much it sucks at threaded posts. replying to your own post on threads doesn't give it any priorities in the UI over other replies, so you can't actually make a thread on Threads. you get your one post, with 240 characters or whatever the limit is, and that's it. anything you try to add to it is getting hidden.

it seems to be full of engagement bait, and generally satisfies my need to scroll through a feed of random stuff for a little while, but as far as any actual useful content it's pretty light.

No, that's the opposite of my point.

"If you already decided to have a proportional font, you don't need to stop doing any things."

My argument is that "need to stop doing X" is not true for either kind of font.
My thoughts too. The vibes, goal, and architecture are very evident. Oh the irony.
I think if it is something to do with our deterrence it’s more likely to be testing an anti ICBM weapon than carrying a warhead.

The US stopped talking about missile defense because it’s destabilizing but they for sure did not stop working on it.

With the MIRV warheads the only realistic intercept opportunity is in space.
Show HN: Find the State – Find all the States in the contiguous USA on a map
Hi there - I made a little game in React called Find the State. Goal is to find all the contiguous U.S. States on a map. Frontend and Backend code is open sourced.

Long story short - there was this iPad game I played like 5 years back that just had you find States on a map. I really liked it, but it was buggy and eventually stopped even being served on the app store.

While playing it, I found that my knowledge of where all the states were was really awful. I kinda just assumed I knew where all the states were. It was fun playing it a bunch and getting a lot better.

So I decided to make my own version that tried to keep everything really simple and that could be used as a kinda tool to workout your U.S. "geography" muscle.

Comes complete with old-timey music and a high-score (fastest-time, number correct in-a-row) scoreboard.

Totally down to answer any question on the code or anything.

A large proportion of mobile apps could be built as progressive web apps (PWAs), and avoid app stores altogether.
55F is just starting to get cool, could be a beautiful day if the sun is shining. "cold" don't start till the 40s and if you're working theres still great days in the 30s.

anything hotter than 89F is hellish.

Am not personally seeing how that changes the relevance of our statements? :)
This release includes WebRTC support. I would really appreciate if people could try it! I have so many things I want to improve with broadcasting.

——

* Serverless Streaming - WebRTC is P2P so you can video right into your browser. You don’t have to stand up a server anymore to stream for a small audience.

* Sub-Second Latency - Create content and interact with viewers instantly. There is something magical about having a real conversation with your viewers.

* Multitrack Input - Upload your transcodes instead of generating then server side. Give viewers multiple video tracks to see action from all sides.

* Mobility - WebRTC lets you switch networks at any time. Go from WiFi -> Mobile with zero interruptions.

* E2E Authentication - WebRTC lets you add authentication on the sender and receiver. Broadcasters could sign their video streams so viewers can be sure it wasn’t modified.

Try it out with Broadcast Box. A reference server implementation. https://github.com/glimesh/broadcast-box
I agree, Standard ML's syntax feels a lot cleaner than that of OCamls.
It wasn't as hard as I expected. In one case, I found her last name on an email and it had an additional letter, so I just modified the address to match her name (we were both first initial/last name).

In the other case I must have simply experimented with first initial/middle initial/last name, and that worked.

One is a minister in the Boston area, so it's not hard to recognize her inbound emails.
Indeed!

Despite the logic that would make this a ridiculous action by the Russians to cut their nose to spite their face, people offered all kinds of contrived reasons the Russians would shoot themselves in the foot.

If they wanted to hurt Europe al the had to do was turn the valve. The stupidest option would be to blow it up.

It's like Covid where pretty much everyone who was for lockdowns and sicking police those who flouted orders now say they were never for lockdowns...
Basically your complaint is “Linux users aren’t spending hours to reproduce every single issue and keep following up with additional debug info from every developer new to the conversation”. What if instead the model was done survey who has issues and pick 1 random person who’s reporting issues and build up a knowledge base of the ways it’s failing (ie formally “here’s the symptoms, here’s the root cause and here’s the fix” whether that fix is something the user has to do on their end or a new SW version. I think if you did that enough times, you’d be randomly sampling the highest effect bug rates. It’s not the cheapest way to do this but if you’re having so many foundational issues with something as it’s looking like Nvidia is with Wayland (especially given how old Wayland is), that’s what I’d be telling the Linux driver team at Nvidia to own end to end until we believed all the largest Nvidia issues were resolved (whether or not it’s a driver problem) and then go back to normal triage processes. This stuff is normal shit that happens at high performing teams when things are this bad (eg an entire component critical to Wayland working on a Linux desktop isn’t working if you’re an Nvidia customer).

Asking users to contribute to fixing their own issues is the quickest way to make sure nothing ever gets done. I’m an extremely technical user but im using Linux for my day to day engineering needs. I have other SW that needs my attention and debugging my personal desktop issues is not what I’d like to be doing. If it gets bad enough I’ll reinstall the OS from scratch or switch back to Mac and figure out how I can make Linux work in a VM so I can test the software I need. But right now the SW I’m working on is Linux-only and if I can solve and figure out a workaround for the problem by myself without having to pause and follow up about some bug is not where I want to spend my energy. I have enough trouble keeping track of conversations on GitHub. I just hope any bugs I can’t figure out myself will eventually get solved without me having to do anything. And I do follow up some times but the value of that has been hit and miss enough that I do it as rarely as possible.
I also have things I want to do next. I am going to make it so you can host a podcast/co-stream with only using OBS.

No more screen capping or using other tools to bring others on.

If this interests you I would love feedback/help.
Formula E exists. It just sucks. The cars are much slower, and there’s gimmicks.
> They’re just saying that because it sounds better than that the strip looks cooler at night.

For me, I’m all on board with “‘The Strip’ is built for showing off after the Sun goes down” is a much better marketing point than “European fans may watch it from a café, if they are up early enough.”

But that’s just me, a minimally interested F1 watcher who spends time in Las Vegas.

Holy crap! "Brahms - Piano trio No 1 in B major" FINALLY. That's been more than half a year in my head, and me failing to figure out how to search for it.

Proud of myself I nailed the key. Does this song have some romance story behind it? Probably just my brain confusing nearby neurons.

Extraordinarily frustrating that it needs a mobile device (as opposed to, say, even Chrome only).

Still, thanks internet. Now I'm back to a 100% success ratio (lifetime) of "if I get a song stuck in my head I will dig until I know its name".
IANASE (swift expert), but the rust ? operator is used for error propragation in the same way that the try operator in swift is. Swift's ?? operator is for unwrapping an option type: x ?? default, similar to x.unwrap_or(default) in Rust. (Swift's ? is the ternary operator, as in C; rust does not have a ternary operator, using expression-if instead). Applied to a type, swift's ? is the same as Option<x> in Rust.

Rust's first mechanism for error propagation was the now-deprecated try!() macro, which did basically the same thing.
No. Again. Tax dollars bailed out the banks, after they pocketed billions in profits from predatory arm and similar loans.

Who bailed out the home owners? No-one. They lost their homes, their credit was ruined. Decades worth of setback. But they deserved it? Please. It was a trap in the name of shareholder profits.

The problem is systemic and blaming the consumer is myopic at best.
The power of stories like this never fails to humble me. There are countless (less dramatic) incidents like this in every life. Your experience brings them back into focus.
I like both OCaml and Rust, especially OCaml, but even after 2 years of Rust I'm still way more productive in OCaml. Unless it's absolutely essentially, I really don't want to have track the life times of my objects so explicitly.

Thus, Rust for me serves mostly as a C/C++ alternative. I don't plan to ever write anything in C again, and even if it's not my goto language otherwise, for that I'm thankful.
