That's a step forward, but not a solution. There are so many firms collecting data on everyone. There should be something similar to a "National no call list". If you register there, all firms should delete your information or face consequences.

The important thing to keep in mind with this announcement is that the glacial pace was previously a restriction of being attached to SerenityOS. Everything needed to be built from scratch with no reliance on third party libraries. Now that they're detaching from Serenity they can start reaping the benefits of the existing work in the FOSS ecosystem, which should enable a faster pace of development.
yup, just throw the term AI into your deck and the VC fund grinders will at least give it a second look.
And yet its skyline is blowing up with high density replacing low density. Meanwhile California and Oregon are too busy raging against macroeconomic forces with central planning committees and their obstructionist, well-connected nonprofit partners.
Most transactions online use some kind of payment system, which is vulnerable to various forms of fraud and hackery but not "identity theft". "Identity theft" (and GP is right that this is a made up crime to discount corporate greed and laziness) occurs during an application for credit, which doesn't need to be a common and easy process.
Colonial America set up a system whereby colonists could lay claim to a piece of unused land, and if they farmed it for a while then they received ownership of it.

And yet, the Song dynasty had a proto-industrial revolution, complete with deep mining for salt and natural gas, water powered forges, blast furnaces for steel, and so forth. This would be between 960 - 1279.

China had a labor surplus for much of its history. There were not enough economic opportunities, and ever growing numbers of marginalized young men with varying skills in militia training leading to increasing banditry, uprisings, and so forth.

True, it's very handy... but can't Chrome do it with a Google account ? (I really don't know)

To me the really seeling point of firefox is being able to switch off search suggestions. Now the bar only searches opened Tabs, history, bookmarks and I can tab into them quickly. If nothing turns up, pressing Enter will still launch a search. Being able to do casual navigation without having to go through a search engine is a killer feature (and it's better for the planet).

Not only tab but you can search directly into opened Tabs/history/bookmarks with the right %/^/* symbols !

EDIT : Almost forgot, it only really shines with that extension that prevent searches to turn up in your history --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/history-autod...
I've worked at several companies that have used Hack Days as that release valve, which has worked really well.

Once or twice a year have a 2-3 day break where engineers can build prototypes using any technology they like. Ideas that look good can get turned into production projects, sometimes (but not always) rewritten in a supported stack.
The Future Is Retro – ModRetro
That’s more of an argument for resin prints in general over FDM, nothing specific to Formlabs offerings.

I have used both Form 2 in the past and now use Anycubic Photon line (one of the cheap Chinese brands). Main differences I noticed is

- Form software like the slicer is nicer and more polished and more features

- Support is obviously better with the Formlabs printer

- The Siraya resin I use in the anycubic ranges from anywhere of 1/4 to 1/8 the price of the equivalent proprietary DRM’ed Formlabs resin

- The end results of the two printers are mostly equivalent for my use case

- If you ruin something in the printer it’s a lot cheaper to replace it in the Anycubic.

In the end for my use case the Anycubic is way better value, but I could see for a business without in house expertise the support of Formlabs is probably a better pick.
Ehh… “supports” is a strong word when talking about Flutter’s iOS theme.

The last time I tried it, it fell into some kind of UI uncanny valley — it looked mostly like iOS, but there were enough little things off that it just felt wrong.
Deregulation is not returning power to the people, it's bestowing carte blanche privatization of profits to corpos, in the wake of near complete regulatory capture, while they dump the negative externalities on the public.
It's important to note that the author and the magazines editor are not in control of this.

Under capitalism, as soon as some business owner gets rich, everybody else goes into business to compete with him. This drives up the demand for labor and hence wages.
What you are describing is a war of attrition, not unsustainable meatwave tactics.

To call Russian tactics "meatwave," large numbers of soldiers or militia would have to charge at enemy positions in waves, often with minimal support from armored or mechanized units. This is simply not what is happening.
There is gtk_window_set_transient_for() and gtk_window_set_modal(), and GtkDialog is basically a synchronous wrapper for those two + a nested event loop. But nested event loops are very easy to get wrong, so my guess is that, these days, you want to write the code for modal dialogs as if they were not modal, even if to the user they prevent interaction with other parts of the program.

EDIT: yep, the nested event loop part is not found in AdwDialog either (https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/doc/main/cla...) so that's probably why GtkDialog is considered deprecated.

There is also GtkAlertDialog which is a replacement for GtkMessageDialog but has a better design (for example it does not inherit from GtkWindow, which was a very 90s OOP thing to do) and it uses a callback instead of a synchronous, nested event loop.
How would that matter to their investment fund? Like Twitter doesn't host undesirable things towards the middle east and religions and everything else.
True, it's very difficult to attribute the reasons for big social movements, so I am doing some speculating. I do agree that internet contributes as well. My belief that it is a mix of reasons, and pornography is one of them, as it gives complacency. Just rub one out instead of making an effort on meeting potential partners & improving yourself to make yourself suitable.

Interesting study. I agree that it's very difficult to find the causation.

Gnome 1.4 borrowed a lot from OS8/9.

Then, Gnome 2 got a bit of inspiration of Copland and Mac OS9/halfway to 10.

Gnome 3 tries to badly copy OSX (and MacOS tries to do the same with some stuff from both iOS and Gnome).

Still, MacOS can dream about having something like QT and not-walled software repositories.

I call bullshit.

YC is not interested in fixing any of these problem despite their words and actions. Real solutions are bitter pills to this industry, poison pills to investors and venture capitalists.

The two universal solutions that work for every other industry:

* Liability

* Licensing

When I say liability and I mean both personal liability, as in suing the developer(s) for harms of the software, as well as business liability. When I say licensing I do not mean product licensing. I mean human professional licensing. There is an astonishing lack of professionalism and ethics in software. None of this is fixed with band-aids or wishful thinking. Go directly to the problem: the money funnel and the often absurd absence of competence.

Yes, this is scary. Get over it. You cannot both be an entitled child free from the harms of the world and simultaneously be absent from the harms that result. The upside, though, is that increased risk and liability, in financial and compensatory terms, means fewer people doing the work each owning a fair share of the rewards that otherwise just go to investors and not even as dividends.

I think that declarative configuration languages scratch the itch of a lot of developer brains, but in practice it doesn’t really matter and using more familiar languages is a huge benefit to devex that shouldn’t be overlooked if the goal is to be mainstream. Yes, it requires more discipline on the reviewer front not to create abstractions that are too powerful/footgun-y, but it’s totally possible to write clear, declarative code in a “real” programming language without artificial constraints.

The last time a major browser originated, RAM was measured in MB, CPU freq in MHz, and the iPod was the thing that the one trend hunter your friend knew was about to buy.

The major browser platform today, smartphones, did not exist. PDAs did not even have wireless internet yet.

The basis for the functionality of the browser is due for a reimagining.
ETrade is considering banning meme-stock influencer Keith Gill off its platform
at my second job when mobile development was getting popular, there was this engineer who wanted to switch to mobile development and I have been asked to help him during this transition period. as i was the only engineer with mobile expertise I was actually smug about it and I considered myself a superior to this older engineer who had tons of experience building websites but is new to mobile development.

anyways two days or so after onboarding him to mobile, he called me at his desk and asked me why the app wasn't running on his machine/phone. after looking at the error message i told him to change the path to certain settings to match his username/computer name. those were hardcoded to my computer/username. he breathed a sigh of relief after fixing it and told me about environment variables (how you can dynamically get the username so it's not tied to me), the engineer who was sitting next to him who heard the whole conversation laughed at my face. this guy was more mature about it and helped me understand it.

Reformation was most popular in the northern countries of the Hanse trade union.
Freeing themselves from Catholicism also meant freeing themselves from the emperor and the tribute payed to him.

The above is why the bicycle and car were invented at almost the same time despite a car seeming to be vastly more complex. (in fact the first car was demonstrated over 100 years before the first bicycle - at least according to the wikipedia timelines, though drawings of both existed for longer that appear to have never been built). Once you have enough of the industrial revolution to build a practical bicycle (chain, ball bearings) you also have enough to build a car. The car is in fact easier because the power source not being human means you don't have to care about efficiency.
While there might be such a difference in price, equating trying to avoid data collection through legitimate means with being flagged as a probable fraudster and having to pay 10x is not sound reasoning.

If people were routinely getting gauged like this for trying to opt out of something, there would be a pretty huge story in that and I doubt it would go unreported.
> there will still be something that will slip through the cracks, that something will be important, and will make people scratch their heads and wonder how it was possible to drop the ball in such a spectacular fashion.

What doesn't help is how many leaks there are in the systems we operate in, that are just overlooked because we've either accepted them as fundamentally important, or because most other people will manage to pull it off despite the systems' inadequacy.

For example, feedback loops and focus time. Companies will design their workspace to be as distracting and dehumanizing as possible, where someone can roll up a chair at any random moment and start asking questions, meetings are scheduled sporadically throughout a day or week and don't have any positive value contribution. We'll use 3 different asynchronous communication systems that everyone needs to attend to all the time, but no integrated notification system between them; I'll miss that Jira comment because I forgot to check Jira, and then that someone responded to my code review because I'm not checking GitHub every 20 mins, and yet I can't focus on my code for longer than an hour because my boss asked me "How's it going" on Slack.
Semi-related story: when I got my Pixel, I tested out the assistant by asking it to open YouTube every morning when I wake up. Every morning it has given me my wake-up message, then said "Opening YouTube", and done nothing.

A few months ago it changed. Now it gives me a wake up message, followed by "I don't understand" and does nothing. Every morning.

I've kept it as a reminder of what not to do with this technology.

Are We Doomed? Here's How to Think About It
I do hear a lot that there's some level of engagement with a traditional school at some stage, but that the experience goes very differently.

Even as an adult, I sometimes want to enroll in an enrichment program that looks a lot like a school class (was just researching culinary training options yesterday, in fact), but there's a huge difference between how that lands and how it landed when I was "stuck" in school as a kid.

When you choose to be there because you've evaluated its merits and found something you consider worth the costs (whatever annoyances come with it), and you also know you can leave, it loses the "prison" aspect "schooling" has for a lot of kids.

> But it's completely absurd to call that "Persia"

Is it necessarily that much (to an extent it is of course) more absurd than to call the Bronze Age Mycenaeans/Achaeans Greek though? Yes they were a lot more concentrated geographically and the link between them and classical Greeks/Hellenes is strong but still seems like an anachronism.

> If you want to consider the geographical extent of the Achaemenid Empire

Not sure why would anyone want to considering the 700 year gap.

> But it's completely absurd to call that "Persia"

Certainly, that why I wasn't sure why did they mention Persia in the first place.

> none of them including the ones on the Iranian plateau would have thought of themselves as "Persian"

Considering that the word is derived from Farsi/Farsi wouldn't the people living in the territory that became heartland of the Achaemenid empire have called themselves that?
Witnessing the death of the web as a news medium
Use it for what exactly? For decades the militaries of the world have subscribed to the theory of detterence - build up a force sufficiently large that no one in their right mind will try to attack you, and thus you don't need to fight. Under such a doctrine, the entire point of the massive spending is to not use it.

As we see in Ukraine, the decision to try and flex military strength can be quite disastrous when you demonstrate your immense military is actually a paper tiger - it generates complaints domestically, and erodes credibility abroad, to say nothing of the various other negative consequences of fighting a prolonged conflict.

China is a land power, always has been, always should be. It has no experience conducting naval operations, exceedingly few foreign bases for supporting long range naval power projection, and it is totally reliant on the maritime status quo. China likely wants to deter anyone from getting ideas about interdicting its shipping, and is probably happy to find a use for its excess steel production, but it would be crazy to pick a fight with the world's dominant naval power, which is coincidentally one of the world's premiere nuclear powers, and geographically unassailable by conventional forces, and there really isn't any naval opponent that isn't allied with one or the other. It's almost certainly intended as a fleet in being, at most an insurance policy in case America becomes isolationist in the next few years and there is a power vacuum.
It looks like the gap is closer faster than what was expected.
Knowing how to do math is generally useful as a biologist or physicist. Sure there’s trivia or whatever but knowing how an array works is definitely important for software engineering, just like knowing how to do algebra is also important for biologists.

Ok, so an app is needed to get the data from the device to a computer, and you wanted to focus your efforts on a "polished" Mac app. But why not make a non-polished Windows app as well? Or have someone make it?

Also, is the RAW data specific to the device and if so, why? If the device simply used, say, DNG or TIFF, then decoding could be done by external software, and all your own software would have to do would be to read the SD card and produce RAW files...?
Excellent information. Thank you for releasing all of this, I particularly enjoyed reading through the rainproofing as I am building a raspberry pi camera and there really aren’t any examples out there that I could find.
