> He's just telling his story. He knows he fucked up. But he also knows the system is fucked.

Here in the UK we have something called Joint Enterprise [1] which is controversial for a numnber of reasons, I've read this chaps blog, I can relate to his circumstances in a number of ways having grown up with the rave culture in the 90's, I've seen many people turn a blind eye and escape prosecution, mainly because its too hard to prosecute, demonstrating the laziness of the police as evidence gathers and the judicary.

What annoys me is how these so called law abiding people manage to remain in their job. People claim to live in a democracy, none more so that many in the US, and yet AFAIK noone gets taught law as a mandatory subject when growing up. If you are not taught something how can the public even debate it? Is this the legal system applying a form of Darwinism on the population in a dictatorial fashion? Is this a form of intellectual torture being applied on some who want to enjoy themselves in non-alcoholic ways?

If I had the money I'd get a Judicial Review to find the reasons why judges dont want people to be taught the law as a mandatory subject for a number of reasons, and for adults to be kept up to date with legal changes in a TLDR fashion, that doesnt rely on the opinion of the state broadcaster and other news outlets.
Some people are too busy to watch/read the news, which is the only en-masse way to keep up to date currently, and there is also the issue of why is legal conformity pushed on people if they are doing no harm? Just what exactly is a democracy and do you really have a say?

If Roe v. Wade (1973) can mandate a change across a country like the US, are these judges who shy away from making a countrywide decision to keep people abreast of legal changes, not only undermining the idea of democracy, but also just keeping themselves in a stealth sado masochistic schadenfruede-like position of authority with accompanying lucrative income?

Has any scientific study measured the dopamine receptors of judges or serotonin receptors or testostorone levels when they pass a judgement? Has the scientific community shown they derive pleasure from controlling other peoples lives in non scientific ways, because I see the reoffending rate is quite high, and the system is clearly not fit for purpose.

To the original poster, just remember there are some people who agree with your actions, enjoy the mental mind games of programming, it can keep you occupied even when not in front of the computer. :)

The fundamental difference between Blender and Gimp is that Blender started life as a commercial product, designed by 3D professionals for other pros. Yes, the interface was different and the learning curve hardcore, but it had an internal logic that enabled fast workflows when you’d mastered it.

Gimp was designed by open source hackers with no input from professional designers, or seemingly even any interest in their input. It never gathered any kind of momentum as a credible Photoshop replacement for professionals.

And that’s why Blender is getting donations: it’s become a serious part of workflows for all kinds of companies who have a 3D content pipeline. Meanwhile Gimp is still the awkward collection of hackers’ image processing pet projects piled into a clunky GUI that does nothing to enable the things that designers actually use Photoshop for.
So, "it's ok because everything is owned by Google"? Hmm.
If they were the tiniest bit decent, they'd delete the files after the ransom was paid.
Very boring. Most of the files are MSSQL database backups according to trid, mostly for random Citrix, Ivanti, and so on services. I'm still downloading data.zip and boeing.com.7z to see if there's anything juicy there (also unlikely)

That said, I'm learning a lot about digital forensics
Both sides are taxed - consumption and production.

Both can be balanced out by tieing things, not to arbit rates pulled out of someone's ass, but to land and energy use. The biggest users of the planets resources need to be taxed the most.
Somewhat tangential but is there any compelling reason to use Gimp over Photopea in 2023?
> "Our paper proves that interactions with the neighboring galaxies are responsible for the unusual brightness of early galaxies"

This is why I have a hard time with Astronomy. Why are scientists in this field so eager to "prove" things that are arguably not provable with our very limited ability to test our hypotheses? Why don't they just say "Our paper provides a theory that could explain...". I can't count the number of times astronomical "facts" have changed as new information arrives. Let's stop calling it fact and call it what it is "Our best educated guess with the information we have."
Well, what you're saying is actually true. But if you have a look at the "graph" you'll see that it's skewed because of fewer but higher salaries. I'm thinking of the median and wouldn't consider the average to have any indication whatsoever.
> just menus in a popup box anyway

Please don't do this. You know that isn't true.

If someone wants menus in a pop up box, you can simply hide the menu bar until the user presses Alt (or F12 depending on your OS's convention).

Inventing an entire new weird system for pure novelty while saying "fuck you" to accessibility for disabled people... is just not okay behavior.
I don't understand the premise of Twitter having an .onion hidden service. They're anti-anonymity, at least from my experience, where they extorted my phone number from me so I could continue to use their service. Mixing PII with Tor defeats the purpose of anonymity. You're immediately outed by providing a phone number or even en e-mail.
I have thought of this since 2014 hahaha, thanks for the write up
fly.io comes to mind with their cli-first approch (even tho they have a capable dashboard)

I guess it really depends on your target audience
Hah, funny to see this here. When our daughters were born we were a French and German living in an English speaking country so we tried to make sure that the name works in 3 languages. Actually when we finally decided on a name for our first daughter (Tia) we chose a long form of the name (Tiahana) because my mother in law is half Spanish (Tia means Aunty in Spanish).

Incidentally most of the names we considered don't seem to be on the list returned by this website (and we didn't go for very uncommon names).

It seems the algorithm selects on names that exist in both languages (judging by the graphic in the results). I'd argue that's often not really what you want, as they might sound very different.
Ten or fifteen years ago, I sang the old Hindi classic "Kisi Ki Muskarahaton Pe" (not particularly well) into Midomi, and it nailed it immediately. One of the most delightful tech experiences I've ever had, comparable to my experience with ChatGPT. Today's Google search first suggests a medley (which presumably contains the song), and then a related song, and only the third option is correct. I also had to try twice.
I managed to read over 800 books when I was locked up. Every famous book by every famous author. I read it.
Stanford agrees with Trump? Weird.
My favorite comment on HN that answers your question:

That is releasing in Hollywood. Due to the nature of the industry and the jobs everyone works, simply publishing it is an unthinkable thought. I get that "it should be as easy as uploading a repo to GitHub", but just for starters imagine the incurred cost of residuals tracking. Yes it's amortized over the whole enterprise's catalog, but that's work that still has to be done.
How to boss correctly :

1. be straight with people
2. periodically have a discussion about what the people want and how/if your goals are aligned
3. explain how you can help people get their objectives
4. Depending upon complexity, explain perhaps in detail, why a task is aligned

Align goals, if doing tasks is in a person's best then they will do it. Otherwise there will be friction that helps no one.

Also, I wouldn't put murder and rape in the same sentence. There are some situations where murder reasoning might be debatable even if still wrong (self defense against and archenemy that promised to assassinate your family, for example).

But rape? There's no rationalizing rape other than mental illness.

I don't want to open a can of worms here, but I had to write this.
This entire post is based on misunderstanding why the author used the word "obviously" here: You're reading about an incarcerated developer, so you obviously know he chose to commit a crime again at that point in the story. He wasn't saying it was the obvious choice to make.
React is probably what many would recommend, but since you said enterprise then please do consider Angular.

It is not as trendy and cool as React, but I've used angular a lot in enterprise scenarios and it has a lot going for it: everything you need is already built-in so you do not need to pull in endless crap via NPM that you now need to review/manage/check-in (i.e. you just have one dependency), it is relatively stable without many breaking changes over time (and the tooling typically auto-upgrades your code via `ng upgrade` when there are - no other dependencies need to have their upgrade managed at the same time), it has all the same bells and whistles as everything else (SSR, vite etc), on-page performance is about as good as everything else, it has a mature and accessible Web UI component library, and it is backed by Google who employ people to actually work on it. Just pick Angular v17 or whatever and get stuff done.

Unlike react that relies heavily on loads of third-party frameworks, Angular genuinely is "batteries included" so you can just start building without making endless choices and refactorings whenever your routing framework changes, or there is a security bug in your now-unmaintained form validation library, or that reactivity library is now incompatible with your local storage framework but you can't upgrade because it is incompatible with the current version a11y helper library you need to use for legal compliance reasons, or you need to change your CSS library because the UX folks prefer the padding Vs Tailwinds etc.

They also just launched a fancy new site too: https://angular.dev/
In 1987 my physics professor presented this proof to our class -- I always wondered why this elegant derivation of the Lorentz transform was not more widely used in undergrad physics education.
This seems correct, but probably leaves most readers with the wrong impression. Theora is a codec that is free and open, and the patents that cover it do not encumber it (since they are also freely licensed), so I'd consider it patent unencumbered.

Looks like there's an issue where the audio is actually just mono, but is split into stereo channels, but after that point in the video, one of the channels is inverted. So if you're listening to them through a single speaker or otherwise mixed down to mono, the channels will cancel out.

Try using headphones or stereo speakers, or download the video and play it back in a program like VLC that lets you select just one of the audio channels to play.
It's medical discrimination to ignore the massive impact myriad medicak conditions have on looks.

dozens. not hundreds? I'd be concerned
but doesnt the model keeps on improving its own self ?
so basically its "investing in the team" & not just the model
So, only self-hosted debugging on x86_64 Linux. A good start.

Now make it work for other common CPUs (aarch64, RISC-V).

Make it work for other OSes (FreeBSD has ptrace, for example).

Make sure it handles signal and thread trampolines, calls through the VDSO, and handwritten assembler that does not have function prologues. Handle C++ constructors and destructors of objects in static storage running before/after main().

Have it intercept signals. Have it follow the child or the parent after forking. Have it handle multiple threads.

Make it work with coredumps.

Make it work on core dumps from a foreign CPU architecture (big-endian PowerPC, for example).

Make it work with debug symbols in separate files from the executable.

Make it work with binaries compiled from languages other than C.

You're going to be busy for the next 20 years or so.
Perhaps. When I read it, I thought it was enlightning, but I was quite green and not so exposed to OOP by then. I know it has got a bad reputation later, but that it established a language to talk about certain concepts has been impactful. That people took it too far is another thing.
None of the places I was housed at had any opportunities, really.

One place had computers to learn typing. You weren't allowed computer books in that facility in case you used them to figure out how to hack out of the jail. So, bless the elderly nuns, they smuggled in "C# in a Weekend" for me, with the CD-ROM, so I could teach programming classes when the guards weren't paying attention.
yeah something of that sort
I don't consider the average indicative. Have a look at the graph and you'll see that it's skewed because of fewer but higher paid execs.
I think AI is definitely a great technology but not to the extent it is being hyped at the moment. I am not necessarily bearish on it but not too bullish on it either. I will wait 3-5 years to see where it ends up. Right now, there are too many people trying to make a quick buck in AI. People will downvote me for saying this but it gives me Crypto vibes currently.

Also, would you really Trust AI for everything ? I wouldn't. Nothing beats human element. At best, AI should be used as a supplement to speed things up which it is great for. I personally would never rely on AI to do everything for me. Not to mention that it cannot be 100% correct.
This is my Wife’s dream, but it is usually never born out.

I guess MacOS is more polished than KDE. Probably more polished than anything. A few billions here and there help.
Given that KDE is an open source community project it’s quite good.
Me thinking about 2006,

digg.com was something I went to every day. Found it more entertaining than slashdot.

craigslist was something I used a lot, finding dates, things to buy, a place to rent.

for downloading stuff, if I recall I used kazaa

I think I'll wait for another cycle or two before moving to Wayland. Seems like there's a long tail of small issues that need polishing. The zoom screenshare one scared me off a long time ago.
I've moved lots of times. In terms of crime, the SF bay area was by far the worst. The Bronx was second-worst, but I hear it's gotten a lot better since I lived there. Portland has gotten pretty bad over the past few years but at least I can legally carry a gun there.

When you're 5'6" and 120lbs, criminals will target you.
I've smoked on and off over the years, starting at 12. I never developed an addiction so I guess I'm lucky.

I really enjoy smoking a pipe, but generally don't because of the health risks and the difficulty finding a place to comfortably smoke as a renter of a non-smoking apartment.

Lately though I've been vaping 0-4x/day to help me focus and get mental energy. I also occasionally use half-doses of modafinil and notice the two work well together. The biggest downside of vaping for me is that I feel a little more agitated and depressed the next day or so. I guess this is what might normally feed the addictive cycle for others, but with type-2 bipolar depression it's a feeling I'm familiar with and I just ride it out vs trying to eliminate the feeling with more nicotine.
I am committed to not smoking or vaping, no matter what.

So far, I haven’t experienced any strong cravings for the gum when not taking it for a day or two. When I decide to stop in about a couple months, I will power through with discipline.
I doubt breakages like the one you linked are deliberate, there's just a severe lack of manpower.

My firsthand knowledge of such things is quite stale nowadays, but I get the impression the RH desktop group is barely on life support at this point. That GTK4 happened at all strikes me as surprising, but could be interesting long-term in terms of modernized GPU support for the toolkit attracting new usage/developers.

The real question is do enough people even care about GTK anymore to make use of it in the future. I'm inclined to believe the current crop of devs want $hipster-language-native GUI packages. Not awkward quasi-"idiomatic" bindings and FFI wrapping an archaic C library like GTK/glib.

Can you suggest one or two recommendations? Maybe one that surprised you and one that lived up to the hype?
I had a similar experience. Song stuck in my head for years. Finally found it. I honestly felt a little sad when I finally found out what it was. I think I'd somehow grown attached to the mystery of it.
Accessing Twitter from countries that don't have any way to force Twitter to divulge information is the purpose.
It would not shock me to learn that GIMP has been a multi decade study to find out how bad a UX has to be before the FOSS community starts to care.
And is also much simpler and clearer to implement.

In my experience, the name just gets converted to whatever is the closest equivalent in the target language. Or gets horribly mangled if the two languages are different in phonetics and syllable repertoire, which they usually are.

If we start to believe in the difference between use value and exchange value then we'll somersault our way into difficult economic theories rather quickly. It's best to, instead, say that nothing has value unless it can be purchased, a process by which value is instantaneous reified.
Security audit of Persistent Storage and Tor integration
Having just named our little Korean-German girl 8 days ago (we're doing great!), this page is not realized very well - the suggestions it comes up with are poor and wouldn't work.

That carbon isn't really sequestered. Much of it becomes CO2 and methane as it decomposes.

I am also struggling to imagine how you would interr the mulch without damaging the forest itself. Most trees have root systems as wide as their leaf canopy- depending on the species, you'd end up killing or stressing most of the trees you dig around if you toss it deep enough to not burn during a drought.

Now, with all the dead or stressed trees, you've got another out of control wildfire waiting to happen.

Look at the Blender UI. Every command is searchable via F3, available via menus, and sometimes also available via a keyboard shortcut.
Thanks for the laugh! It suggested using Elle as a Turkish-compatible English name for girls. It is the imperative for "grope".

I ought to contact them to add an English-compatible Turkish girls' name: Semen. (From Yasemin, or Jasmine.)
Your original claim: " In the UK leaders of the big unions get six figure salaries, but still live in council (public) housing. KERCHING. "

Again, I ask you to give us the name of a single big union boss who earns £100k+ base salary (you can't pay rent with your employer pension contributions) AND who currently lives in a council property.

I'll even be charitable and accept deputy leaders.
I struggle to understand how student loads are predatory
As the born and raised local, I enjoyed it when colleagues would run by ethnic names under consideration for their kids when trying to do a bilingual name. That’s real trust.

Also have no idea why how/why a few Canadian-Italian families named their daughters “Andrea” which is traditionally a male name in Italy.
Seems like it could be stock for a nice little retirement side business (maybe for someone closer to 65 than to 90), hand-refurbishing old phones, and slowly trickling them out for sale on eBay and elsewhere, for premium prices.

A complication is that they have so much stock, you'd need to get (road-worthy) transportation to wherever you arranged storage accessible to you.

Maybe the collection could be parted out to multiple buyers, to make some of the higher-value lots sell more easily? For example, separate buyers for the lots of wood, candlestick, and novelty phones, then another buyer pays for right to pick over the remainder for 2 weeks, then maybe it's still worthwhile for an area scrap yard to haul away all remaining stock/trailers/fixtures for free?
It looks fine on my standard DPI screens, but I'm assuming that that's because the freetype2 autohinter is being used.

Several problems here. They are both hoarders to some extent. They see value in something that is dear to them but junk to most of us. They continued to acquire stock over the years without any plan to get rid of what they had. Children have no interest in getting involved, probably tired of trying to get through to them and not being able to change their behavior, resigned to just waiting for them to pass and throwing it all away. It really is a kind of abuse left to the children to deal with, a financial and logistical nightmare.

At this point everything they have should be offered to every museum across the country for free or a tax write off. What is left, sort through and keep 1 of everything worth keeping. The rest should probably get recycled consider there is copper and possibly other metals worth something.

There are 1000's of these kinds of scenarios across the country. Old folks who just can't let shit go.

This goes for every single website on clearnet though?

If not phone number, they have your IP and location, timezone, likely waking hours, private chats, search queries, who you communicate with and when etc. If not collected by the webmaster then it is automatically collected by whatever government the server sits in (+ whatever governments that government trades data with).

The times of anonymity on the internet/clearnet are long gone.

I've had a similar idea before.

I once was talking to someone who wanted to financially support independent scientific research. He had started a successful business (you may have heard of it, though I won't name it) and he wanted to put his money to good use.

He wanted to find people he could write a check to, basically. I suggested that if he wanted to advance science as much as possible, it would be far more efficient to run a dormitory for scientists with free room and board, as long as they do scientific research. I'm sure he could find many people who would accept a minimalist lifestyle for the opportunity to do research the system wouldn't otherwise support. (I'd be interested.)

He declined, stating that one major factor was the tax write-off he got from the donation, and I guess giving people a place to live doesn't have that benefit.
