It was patched a month and a half ago which means it was known about before that. So around 30ish days known until the CVE and 60 until this published exploit. IMO this is a decent time frame, how long do you think is enough?
I think one thing most people are missing: because Canva has 175 million users with a significant number of them paying a subscription, this enables them to keep the Affinity apps purchase model in place.

Think about it: why would Canva essentially destroy the reason why so many users (around 3 million according to the reporting) went to Affinity in the first place by going to a subscription model? I don't see that happening.

Canva is clear they want a foothold in the professional design market and buying Affinity and its team is the quickest way to get there.

I paid for V1 of the Affinity suite and happily paid for the universal V2 license upgrade which enabled me to run their apps on my iPad and my Mac and even Windows if I ever needed that. It was a bargain.

Ironically, I just removed the last remnants of Creative Cloud last week. I hadn't been using it, but it was there "just in case…".

Unlike when Adobe tried to buy Figma, I'm more optimistic than most that this going to turn out well for existing Affinity users.

I'd have no problem with being able to roundtrip designs between Affinity and Canva seamlessly. Someone could start on Canva and one a project progressed to a certain point, they could seamlessly transition to Affinity. Depending on what you're doing, you can quickly reach Canva's limits and it should be trivial to pickup where you left on in a future version of Affinity Designer or Photo.

Other than being able to configure DropBox, there's no cloud syncing support built-in to Affinity. Sure, you can glue it together with iCloud, OneBox, etc. but that's not what users should have to do in 2024.

I'm no stranger to bad outcomes from botched and user-hostile mergers and acquisitions of software. But this one has all of the potential to go the right way and I have no reason to think otherwise at this time.

I've been on the amd64 waiting list since day 1, and still haven't gotten my hobby license. Frankly I've given up.
Agreed. I feel like I have 3 or more hyperfocus modes. At the furthest end of the scale, I can get into a multi-week (or month) obsessive hyperfocus on some topic. This is where I really shine at work and can develop whole componets, libraries, etc. in a very short period of time. Maybe that turns me into a "10x developer" in the negative sense. But without leveraging hyperfocus, I don't think I'd ever have made it beyond my first position.

This is why I paid someone to help me get a VN drivers license. At that point, the coffee money either goes away entirely or gets cut in half.

At the end of the day, $3 sure is a lot cheaper than $100's in a single ticket in the US.
Excellent priorities. When building a $12K-$15K basement AI supercomputer, the money goes into the GPUs and making the critical functionality perform (PCIe retimer card?!)... but the monitoring console can be an old beige CRT, like people pay to have hauled away from the curb. :)
This is an interesting question. If both institutional power and "good breeding" nearly completely overlap, how should we tell the difference?

At the moment, the best I can think of is to look at how important older ancestors were in a pedigree: if one cares only about institutional power, then one probably only cares about two* generations at most; if one cares about showing sustained evidence of good breeding, pedigrees would include ancestors who are dead and hence hold no temporal power whatsoever.

How does that sound?

* maybe 3 if you had a 15, 30, and 45 year old all as warlords in their own rights, but that's not a generic situation. My understanding is that the usual tenure was to have a single generation holding as much as possible, with the older generations retiring to monasteries to keep the land in the hands of military-age men.

EDIT: the balance of these concerns probably change between peace and war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_the_Conqueror had trouble early in his career due to his illegitimacy, but by Nov 1066, he had a clear argument that, in matters of logistics and manoeuvre, he was puissant.
On the flip side, I think religion has had a monopoly on the idea that only it can provide that kind of space for such relationships. I don't think that's true.
Ha this is great! I completely relate.

There was a YouTuber (WhiteBoy7thSt if anyone is familiar) I watched over ten years ago now that came from very humble beginnings, and when he started to make real money, his first splurge (and one he stuck with) was new socks. When I say new socks, I mean new socks most days, maybe even a new pair for every day of the year. These were normal white socks, not any nice wool socks, so it was still fairly cheap, but when he grew up, they always had beaten, old socks.

So how do you differentiate between a user inserting a space and a user inserting a literal _ in a file name?
Crazy! Going by the higher 7.6 kn figure mentioned elsewhere in this thread, that'd be closer to 450 million N s.

For another comparison, Wikipedia gives an estimate of "Apollo 11 launched from Earth to orbit" at 495 million N s [1]. So this is a momentum that's order-of-magnitude comparable to space launches.

I schedule things. I put nice long stretches of time (we are talking about 4-6 hours about) and it’s pretty much ONLY time I ever get anything done. I need long periods of time cause the start is all about building focus but not forcing it so YMMV. I think experimentation is super helpful.

> in my experience with a 40ft sailboat with a single propeller you have absolutely no rudder authority while reversing.

In general it depends on the rudders and the boat.

Longer keeled boats don't respond well in reverse at all but more modern boats (like mine, 1990) will do better but will still need some way to have steerage. I can certainly manouver around the marina in reverse, it's just harder than forwards and I need to be going a bit faster to get the control.
Immersive experiences work. I am playing Demeter on the MQ3 which is an AR game where you control a platforming character in a floating island that materializes in your room. It is fun but not anything you couldn’t experience in full VR in a game like Angry Birds VR which you can’t play on AVP because… The whole look and pinch thing goes only so far. It is great for a demo but it means the apps won’t be there other than tablet apps that hang in the air.

I am still puzzled as to how to implement navigation in WebXR for the AVP.

If you had a true optical passthrough AR headset that is one thing but it is absurd for a $3500 device which is hardware capable of immersive apps to be kneecapped by software and the control scheme.
I think this is inevitable when you look at the original team at oculus, there were a lot of gaming folks (John Carmack was their CTO!) and I have no doubt that lives on in the culture today, for better or worse.

I doubt a UI toolkit or standard OS primitives were even on their radar.
MRI can cause a tingling sensation. Apparently, it can be quite noticeable when you make a loop, e.g. with your arms. See peripheral nerve stimulation.

I have had an abdomen MRI. I definitely felt sensations when the machine was doing particular sets of scans.

Also, I accidentally left my wedding ring on (I informed them, they were not interested in the slightest). My right felt hot during the scans. Not painful burning hot, but warmer than body temp for sure.
To anyone reading this who isn't an experienced boater:

If you are invited onto someone else's boat, sit down and shut up during docking, don't talk to friends, let the captain concentrate. Don't help, if the captain wants you to do something, they will let you know. If you think you know better than the captain, and this advice is unknown to you, you don't know better. Being a good guest during docking shows experience and helps get an invite back.
I recently got an MRI and the technician asked me what I wanted to listen to on the headphones. I said "Something relaxing, do you have ambient music?". This turned out to be a terrible choice; the music was so quiet I could barely hear it. Earplugs would have been better. I had some in my pocket that I brought but it was too late.

So after the claustrophobic panic subsided and I realized I was left in there with nothing but the loud machine and my own thoughts, I decided to listen to the machine as if it were music.

I found it supremely hypnotic and trance-inducing, almost meditative. I'm a big fan of deep and hypnotic techno, so the rhythmic MRI sounds were right up my alley. I'd probably have enjoyed it more with earplugs though.
> my experience with a 40ft sailboat with a single propeller you have absolutely no rudder authority while reversing.

I have to protest here. Reversing and using the rudder on a 40ft boat works perfectly fine. I've done it on multiple sailing boats. You need to hold tight so that the rudder wont slap you if using a stick.
I feel confident that it's Apple trying to appease its media partners. I think after Apple pulled the rug out from under the music industry, the film and television industry panicked. They were unwilling to make a deal where content was not chained down with a stake to the ground.

In my opinion, there are two kinds of people who work in Hollywood:

- People who make movies, who probably don't care if you pirate the movie much because the studio is going to screw them over in their pay anyway. These people want as many folks to see the movie in all its different ways as possible.

- People who run the studios, whose salaries, bonuses, etc, are all attached to investors, who want to see the film returns increase. These people want you to see the movie, but only you, only after you pay, for each viewing, in the time, place, and conditions they set.
Have you seen the opposite? Where Product handles the Product, Architects and Leads handle Technical decisions? All Engineering Managers are left then are metrics and localized HR. They end up managing multiple teams, since its hard to justify such a small job of managing a single team for such a large title. They end up getting overloaded on teams, and start managing by dashboard, because talking to all 30+ of your reports is impossible.

The most useful job they can do is to take on responsibility. When everything becomes decisions by committee, at least one person has to occasionally take the reigns and say "Yes, do that one and forward." That is their real value in big companies from my standpoint. The issue is when they are all concerned about their management, defer the decision upwards, and now you have a King who must approve everything.
As I said, it's at best a fun toy and all you've said confirms that. It does not help solve any of the problems facing humanity.

I don't get it. X is much, much better now that the insane levels of (one-sided) censorship are gone. There are actually different opinions now. I don't really see any objectionable content - it all depends on who you follow and what posts you like. You can choose to only see posts from people you follow if you prefer. And you can create different lists of users for different topics and only see post from a specific list. It's all up to you. It all feels more vibrant now.

Also, I have seen in other news that engagement has gone up a lot, though perhaps not the number of users.

Arguments on the margin make sense, but DMA compliance has huge resource costs and will surely come with eye watering penalties. And yet if small barriers are indeed so insurmountable then the benefits will be limited. So: is it worth it?

I think cookie banners have not meaningfully changed users’ ability to exercise privacy preferences, but they have probably cost the economy many tens of billions of dollars to implement, enforce, and litigate. As far as I can tell, there isn’t much reflection on what that says about effective legislation.

This is a rather backhanded take. From what I understand of Melanie, she is one of the few folks I've read about that had a rather unique rags to riches story, and is quite driven. I don't begrudge her level of success.

To that end, despite her interesting story around her role in the business, Canva itself really appeals to the lowest common denominator, which probably explains why they have such gangbuster financials. It really isn't great for true creatives though, and I feel Canva is dragging the industry down, not pulling it up, in the name of profits.
I was intrigued to see a lady at the crosswalk the other day wearing earbuds with thick tubing instead of wires. Googling it, I discovered they were "EMF free headphones". Apparently enough people think electromagnetic radiation in the ears is a problem that there are now dozens of these headphones on the market that put the driver half way along the cord, with tubes proceeding to the earpiece.
If your cost of living isn't much lower than a programmer salary, the landlords (and shareholders?) are thanking you for financing them.

Haha, funny. It was just yesterday that I listened to a german kabarett recording which featured the fact that women are driving consumerism.

> For x86 community licenses, we will be transitioning to a package-based distribution model (which will also replace the student license that used to be distributed as a FreeAXP emulator package). A vmdk of a system disk with OpenVMS V9.2-2 and compilers installed and licensed will be provided, along with instructions to create a virtual machine and the SYSTEM password. The license installed on that system will be valid for one year, at which point we will provide a new package. While this may entail some inconvenience for users, it enables us to continue offering licenses at no cost, ensuring accessibility without compromising our sustainability.

Does this mean that you can download and run OpenVMS, but after a year your VM will stop working and you'll have to download a new one and set it up all over again?

That, plus the fact that they're distributing it as pre-installed images rather than install media, tells me that they're worried people are getting too much value out of the free version, so they want to make sure it's sufficiently crippled that you could never build anything stable or useful on it.

VMS: the rock-solid operating system that'll never crash or go down, at least not until your 1 year license is up and you have to transfer everything to a new VM.
Thank you! We love hearing stories like this.

The full DFN has a lot more going on. Use the benchmark-ified version from the benchmarks:

https://docs.sciml.ai/SciMLBenchmarksOutput/dev/NonlinearPro...

But as Avik states, this same kind of thing is done as part of the trust region methods, and so the trust region stuff with some ways to avoid J'J is effectively doing the same thing, though of course that cannot target a symmetric linear solver because J is not generally symmetric and it needs to do the L2 solve so it needs a QR/GMRES.

But indeed, let's get IPOPT in this interface and benchmarks and show it in the plots.

Not really unless you refer to the use of 'IF' and 'RF'. Maybe it would have been better if they wrote these out as 'IF (intermediate frequency)' and 'RF (radio frequency)' with a link to explain in which context IF is used but for the rest that sentence looks OK to me.

worth remembering what this sort of stupidity actually means: creating the infrastructure for US government(s) mandated and approved identity verification on the Internet. this has a number of serious consequences, unrelated to children learning awesome dance moves:

- it's obviously a massive violation of whatever remains of "free speech" in the US, and allowing this to happen creates a precedent for nibbling at all sorts of other things
- creates precedent that children are even more subservient to their parents and random whims of whatever politicians are in charge at any point

- it creates the technical infrastructure and precedent for random US governments and whatever lunatics control them at the time to mediate permission to access websites

- it creates a massive database of PII, this time focussed on kids, which will be accessed endlessly by random
companies, and will de facto have no actual access controls

- it spews government-required and validated PII around loads of random websites - hacking a site and then quietly passively copying all their calls to the database will be of great interest to fuckwits around the world

- will require trying harder to geo-locate users, creating even more PII and having even more of it being government-audited

- creates a huge hammer for politicians to beat up on unfavoured companies / blackmail them

- undermines the functioning of the US as a coherent unified state
