Unity 7 HUD could search the menubar of any application. I was quite good at guessing the name of the function I wanted, far better than I was at finding it in menus. It looks like MATE, XFCE and i3 still have this.

Since moving to 10-bit color, I've had to abandon GIMP because it doesn't support it. It's the only application that's giving me trouble so I've just switched over to Krita for occasional image manipulation.
As someone with a never correctly pronounced name, it doesn’t bother me. You get over that quickly.
No the thing I'm doing is burying this armchair gwern hogwash with tons of actual research that spans decades.
NO RIGHT CLICKING! Nobody does a right click on a crop rectangle. Modifier key. Like you keep shift pressed and it preserves the aspect ratio. Nobody will do another click, then select a menu, then whatever. That's the issue. If you have to edit 100s of images these extra you go the menu, then the submenu, then click, then blablabla, then powpowpow, takes a lot of time. Streamline the user experience. You can only make it better if you use it daily and change the things that frustrate you. If these things doesn't frustate you, and do these over and over and over, then you are a robot and not fit for UI/UX design, so easy.

Thank you so much for piecing together a great example (jqjq) to help open everyone’s eyes that JQ is not just a JSONpath implementation with weird syntax! I often reference it to drive home the fact that JQ is a full blown language.

The brainfuck one is also gonna be going into my notes. That implementation is quite a terse implementation.

In Western forests, I don't believe it's known if they're "a part of nature". What is known is the pre-Columbian population regularly shaped forests using fire and so forests adapted over thousands of years to this, making it required now.
This is where you just train an LLM so you can write:

'get button named "sign in" and click'

Then on the back end, it generates your example code.
Crime will always pay better than legitimate alternatives. You can either choose to sacrifice the extra income or risk going to prison– that's kind of just how society functions.

> For some high proportion of these individuals, it is obvious (and indeed seems like the only choice).

Then they can go back to prison. Society need not be blackmailed into giving ex-cons excessively lucrative jobs in hopes of luring them away from crime.

Plausible deniability allowing them to push as much significant risk of identity theft onto consumers instead of themselves where it should be.
I think Amazon and Apple noping out of Germany and EU would be a huge opportunity for new businesses to get a foothold. It would be great to get some competition back in the marketplace.
Menus used to have at least some consistency across programs. If you knew where an option was in one program, it was usually in the same place in another, or at least similar options were in similar places. The UI designers of the past understood that convention trumps invention. You shouldn't need to "discover" something in 10 different ways when you use 10 different programs. Now everyone wants to "innovate in UI design" and there’s no consistency between the programs you use.

It was probably Apple that led the "minimalist UI" trend, but at least Apple have consistency across their applications. The GNOMEs started trying to copy Apple's design cues with Gkt3/GNOME3 but completely missed the mark.

> my first guess is usually wrong

I had the same experience, and searching for answers using keywords was not very effective. There are so many features that the terms I guessed were often a different concept in GIMP, leading to a bunch of irrelevant results.

I have found that ChatGPT solves this problem very well, so I don't even try searching first anymore. I can verbosely explain what I am trying to accomplish, and it tells me "that is called X in GIMP, and here is how to use it: ...".

A recent example is that the Bucket Fill tool was filling in adjacent pixels that were a slightly different color than the one I clicked on. ChatGPT told me this is called the "threshold" and how to change it to 0 so it only filled exact matches. I would have searched for something like "gimp bucket fill sensitivity" or "gimp bucket fill precision", then had to read through a forum answer or the GIMP documentation to see that term.
Well, for me personally some substances had a lasting positive effect on my depression and it was because of some of the things I felt and understood while I was under their effect. It wouldn't have worked if I was unconscious.

Sometimes depression is a chemical imbalance but sometimes it has underlying reasons.

If identity theft were to get so common that the data became statistically unreliable, we would be long past the point that even Congress would feel compelled to do something about it.
Yep. And in many cities there is only one viable newspaper, so they run absolutely wild with the monopoly status.
I started with rhino3d a while ago. I like that everything can be done by typing a command. By default your cursor is in a command field and everything you type instantly searches for a command. There are menu items as well. But once you get used to typing commands its so damn fast.

Still sounds potentially problematic. Per wikipedia: "Differential privacy provides a quantified measure of privacy loss and an upper bound and allows curators to choose the explicit trade-off between privacy and accuracy. It is robust to still unknown privacy attacks. However, it encourages greater data sharing, which if done poorly, increases privacy risk. Differential privacy implies that privacy is protected, but this depends very much on the privacy loss parameter chosen and may instead lead to a false sense of security. Finally, though it is robust against unforeseen future privacy attacks, a countermeasure may be devised that we cannot predict."

If I am dependent on the curator to determine the level of privacy then I've already lost.
I tried with French/Korean and it yielded nothing. However we have two kids and gave them similar-ish sounding names that are both common/hard to mistake/unambiguous in each languages:

- Mireille / 미래 (Mirea/Milea)
- Sarah / 사랑 (Sarang/Salang)

I think this website isn't as capable or imaginative as it would look.
No, you are conflating "music" with "musicians", it's the same in most creative fields, we have more and better, by an order of magnitude, than we have ever had.
I think you are right and wrong. I've watched 3 or 4 videos of Joe Armstrong on YouTube this week (he seemed to show up a lot at Strange Loop). He talks a lot about concurrency for its own sake. However, you are right that he also heavily emphasizes reliability and how concurrency contributes to that.

More interesting to me is his physical theories about computation. For example, he hints often at his idea of the blackhole as the most powerful computer. As we think about the distribution of computational systems, I wonder how often we consider the density of computational systems.

You should have. You're the reason for the problem. Stop building houses out of flammable materials in forests that need to regularly burn!
I let myself get sucked into one of these things some decades ago.

There is a 72hr "cooling off" law in my state that I leveraged to cut my losses at a couple hundred $.
Ah fair. I've not gone to the timeshare pitches, but much smaller ones ("free dinner if you listen to our presentation on house heating"). Those tend to be informal - no contracts, etc.

I did once pay to go to a 3-day RE workshop which turned out to be a sales pitch. And oh boy, when it comes to fantastic presentations, this was the best. They're basically trying to sign you up for mentorship at a cost of $35-50K, so I can see they've got money to make it fancy and hire top salesmen as well as entertainment equipment. It was basically a 3 day long show. If they'd made it a lot cheaper (e.g. $15K), I could see myself falling for it. Who doesn't want to get rich, and what they were offering was sound (except for the fact that most people who pay don't have the discipline to follow through on RE work).

It wasn't very pushy, though. I had a brief 5-10 minute 1:1 with a rep. Perhaps he sensed dirty tactics wouldn't work for me? I did hear from another attendee that their meeting with (another) rep was worse - along the lines of "You're saying No. Do you want to be the type of person who always lets opportunities go by? When are you going to change to better yourself?" Had they said that to me I would have gotten up immediately.

Although I was annoyed at being duped, I actually did learn quite a bit about RE in those 3 days. It was something like 35% real education and 65% sales pitch, with the education scattered in between throughout the 3 days.

Of course, one could learn it all themselves. Plenty of cheap/free resources. However, there was value in having it all presented in one place.
GDPR specifically mentions pseudonymous data in Recital 26:

"The principles of data protection should apply to any information concerning an identified or identifiable natural person. Personal data which have undergone pseudonymisation, which could be attributed to a natural person by the use of additional information should be considered to be information on an identifiable natural person. To determine whether a natural person is identifiable, account should be taken of all the means reasonably likely to be used, such as singling out, either by the controller or by another person to identify the natural person directly or indirectly."

Under EU law, there is no special class of "personally identifying information". Any data that relates to a person or could be related to a person is protected. It isn't enough to just strip the name and SSN field out of the database and call it anonymous, you need to demonstrate that the data couldn't be attributed to anyone through any reasonably practical process.

Agreed that THead and/or their customers should have been much faster off the mark with toolchain support (they're doing it now), but there is another equally vital aspect -- the upstream software maintainers have to agree in principle to accept patches. This agreement has been either withheld or else slow to come, with such weak reasons as "we don't support draft specs", intended to mean "specs that are never implemented in hardware".

Mass production of chips with a "draft spec" make it not a draft at all in this sense -- it's effectively a custom extension, which patches SHOULD be accepted for.

It's just a custom extension that happens to be 95% source code and binary compatible with the official extension.
If they were the "tiniest bit decent" they wouldn't be ransoming exfiltrated data.

Low Earth Orbit. It has become sentient as more starlink satellites have gone into orbit. As starlink is used to transfer data LEO has become interested in the uses of the data transfer. Being of Lawful orientation LEO doesn't like ransomware, and may at some point use its computational and communication abilities to redirect any ballistic missiles or rockets which are fired into LEO at the points of origin of the ransomware demands.

j/k, of course.
>Something else I found out by living in fire country is that the USFS will say anything to make themselves look better. I mean complete lies.

Unfortunately that seems to be the standard for government agencies in the US these days. The machine protects itself.
also, governments like china, North Korea , Russia, Iran are basically silent endpoints for this stuff, so assuming it's valuable data, the ransom request should trigger whatever intelligence protocols you have.
The search tool for GIMP is Google. How do I draw a rectangle? Google brings you to https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-using-rectangular.html which starts with "GIMP is not designed to be used for drawing." and then goes on which "However, you may create shapes by either painting them using the technique described in Section 14.1, “Drawing a Straight Line” or by using the selection tools"

At that point you realize that what you really want is MS Paint from Windows 3.1

You give Congress too much credit.
That was a bigger discussion when Facebook did it back in the days and there's really no clear reason for and against it. In the end it mostly boils down to "regular people were educated that https is needed, so it's better to just keep doing that instead of explaining Tor to them". Which is a fair point I think.

Certainly. But it's not quite as binary as you make it out to be. Lowering the threshold to having a stable job for the people might change the proportion quite a bit. If we gave them excessively lucrative jobs as you suggested, we may be able to prevent most recidivism!

I didn’t go look up the quote but based on your version here it sounds like roughly half (44%) had some kind of suboptimality, and of those roughly a quarter (26%) had serious problems preventing them from being relied on.

That means 11% of the total papers should be discarded, which means 89% of the papers can be used.
The tricky bit is that you have to get your youtube cookie in order for yt-dlp to get your own liked videos. I expect it to be a lot more LoC to authenticate and get the cookie than to do everything else (which is a one-liner in yt-dlp), so I just do it manually once in a while.

If that's what you want, why not just tax the money when they take it out of the corporation, instead of while within it?
If that company is spending 10 million on a factory, instead of taking out that 10 million to pay bonuses to Executives, you should encourage the former and discourage the latter. If you tax something you get less of it and if you subsidize something you get more of it.
I still haven't gotten used to Inkscape's newer UI.
It does in some ways, but I tried it recently and could not figure out how to take screenshots. I think there maybe problems with sharing a window (using things like MS Teams, zoom or Jitsi) rather than the whole screen. Both serious for me.

I do want the better security that id the cause of this though.
This variation is more interesting: use Midjourney/OpenAI to generate a sequence of illustrations and let your child come up with the plot for each illustration. My little cousins LOVE creative games like Dixit because they get to write the story, letting their imaginations run wild, and no 2 stories are ever identical (infinite play).
I'm for Vue/Nuxt. While reading React code is fine, I found it easy to shoot myself in the foot (causing circular effects or getting no reactivity) in a way Vue didn't. Vue feels more explicit. I like React's TSX for embedding HTML, but Vue's splitting of model and view appeals to me. I'm torn on that one.

Vue's ecosystem isn't as big, but it's an established framework. Both React and Vue feel easier to work with than Angular. RxJS is really cool, but also very comprehensive, making it difficult to keep the entire API in mind. At least for me, who only use it casually (used to use it more while at Google.) And on top of that, I have to know the Angular API. Angular used to be great for Material Design, but I nowadays there are MD packages for all systems.

Nuxt is for Vue what Next is for React: SSR and SSG. It adds auto-imports, which is nice. At this point, I see no reason to use Vue alone, since there's always something that can be pre-rendered. Perhaps the frontpage, or help pages. Since Vue itself provides entrypoints for SSR, Nuxt is more of a file-structure based router that just simplifies things. The documentation is a bit sparse on e.g. the difference between a plugin and a module, and I usually resort to navigating their source to understand things. That might not be everyone's cup of tea.

If what you're writing is a web app, there is also Quasar, built on top of Vue. Similar to Nuxt in that it ties in directory structure, build system and MVC framework. It is also a Material Design UI widget library. Their selling point is that you can build mobile apps, and web apps with the same library. I.e. like React Native. I felt it strays too far away from the core simplicity of Vue, unlike Nuxt, but it's no doubt a very capable framework.

Finally, I'm currently using PrimeVue as the UI widget/theming library on top of Vue. It's okay. :\ Switched to it when the Vue Bootstrap project decided to to support Vue 3 (or whatever the situation was.) I haven't come across anything that's actively broken or missing. The companion library PrimeFlex provides layout CSS. Annoyingly, they've decided to close GitHub FRs, and some (far from all) bugs, and just keep track of them internally. Makes it more dificult to communicate, but I don't know their reasoning behind it (they didn't respond when I asked.)

No, because that’d be an independent increase. In this case shareholders are arbitraging their capital against central bank interest rates. So parent holds.

What does "blender's UI" even mean these days? It's been completely revamped since I last used it, which personally is annoying since I have no idea how to do anything in Blender any more, but objectively is great because the old UI was... challenging... and now it seems to align much better with other professional 3D software.
Similar discussion few days ago with more insights: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38063548
I used to smoke cigarettes for many years. Over a decade. In the last few years of smoking, I tried to quit numerous times, trying to replace it with vaping because nicotine is what I'm addicted to, right? So I shouldn't have that hard a time, it's about breaking the physical habit not the drug addiction since I'm not quitting that. Often I would go a few months. The last failed attempt, withdrawals gave me panic attacks well into 3 months in. So I gave up, got some cigarettes, a year later I tried again and succeeded, I'm a few years smoke free.

I'm still addicted to nicotine, I vape. But I wake up, where my vape is is not the first thing I think about. I dont plan my day by how much nicotine I have left. When I get under the weather I can give it up for a few days with no problem. This is not the same addiction I had when smoking cigarettes, this is a milder, more casual thing, I don't get cravings, I get these small little desires for a puff. Whatever is going on with cigarettes, nicotine is only a small part of that. Quitting cigarettes is one of the hardest things I've ever done, I could not vape for the rest of the day and only feel a mild annoyance. In my experience the article is correct, there's something more going on with cigarettes than just nicotine.

It followed the same tone of your comment, where you claimed that they were doing frequent changes, without providing any examples, of which there should be numerous, if they really occur so frequently.
I wonder if they'll still be happy when the kids have grown up and they're still on the hook for those maintenance fees and can't sell the timeshare to someone else.
I sort of wonder how the Times would have ascertained that the acquisition had been completed in June. I’m wondering if the deal signed in June and closed in September. Maybe they found a merger sub formation doc for “Japan Crate Acquisition Corp.” or something and thought that meant the deal had been completed when the entity was formed.

Still a weird story. And man, that freight broker is either the unluckiest man on earth or not very good at his job.
