You're very confused, catalog vs. XMP (or classic vs. modern) is entirely irrelevant. Heck, the catalog is objectively worse. You're switching software and want to still be able to use the post-processing you've applied to your photos. Which Affinity can't do. It's irrelevant where or how that information was stored.

I guess the difference I'm interested in is whether HFT tends to be "realtime", in the sense that there's a hard deadline that you need to hit every time.

Put another way, audio is operating on a much longer timescale, but cares a lot about worst-case latency (as well as throughput and quality). Is that true of HFT also, or are they more concerned with average latency? If computing a trade takes too long, can they just discard it, or is it catastrophic to miss that deadline?
That would also be somewhat unfortunate naming, considering the existence of https://www.litellm.ai/

Less and less. And there are always print shops for the rare occasion you do need one. In any case, inkjet printers are crap if you only need to print something occasionally as you will end up using more ink to clean the clogged heads than to actually print stuff. I still have a printer (a Brother BW laser) but it has been months since I last used in and half a year since I last really needed something in print.

During my PhD I realized the longer you can extend it, the better (if you intend to stay in academia). If you do 6 years, you'll have the experience of someone who has already done one post doc, but you'll have easier time applying for grants since you're judged as a fresh PhD (possibly with a CV much better than the other applicants due to your extra time).
I did some fact checking on these figures and could not find a source for them. It seems that most of the soy goes to China.

The dynamics of global soybean trade remain heavily influenced by China, which accounts for about 60% of worldwide soybean imports. China’s soybean imports are driven by demand for animal protein and edible oils, two essential components of a diversifying Chinese diet that reflects rising living standards. China predominantly sources its soybean supplies from Brazil and the United States. For many years, the United States was the top supplier, but in the last 15 years China has depended more on imports from South America, especially from Brazil. From 2019-2023, 73% of Brazil’s exported soybeans have headed to China, versus a 51% average for the United States (see Figure 2).

I'm actually a fan of 'tree farms': responsible forestry, specific areas of land dedicated to monocultures of useful tree species that are grown, harvested, replanted, and harvested again.

That's very different from what's seen in Estonia, where there's logging in national parks, and random plots of land in the forest are clear-felled.

Ten years ago you'd drive through the countryside and enjoy the trees, uninterrupted stretches of old forest. These days you drive and count the number of empty spots where someone has owned a plot and cleared it. This article talks about that: a village where beautiful, specific tracts of land with wonderful nature just -- vanished.
I worked at HP when they introduced Instant Ink. This was a natural progression.

But even in 2013, there were managers in power positions that knew and were talking about how much the subscription models were going to hurt their base. But at the same time market dynamics being as they are, everyone also felt the only way to demand multiples for the stock price was to be seen as a software subscription company instead of a hardware company. Otherwise the revenue multiples on the stock were going to go down.

The stock market reaction leads the consumer market reaction, so executives at public companies are generally incentivized to "sell" a vision that sounds good even to investors even if they believe it will long-term hurt the business. That is, unless the executives plan to stay around a long time (another decade+). Modern companies don't reward that long term tenure so that's dissolved and now all these huge public companies have a slew of upper managers that expect to leave before the fires really take hold and make a pretty penny in the process

How sustainable can that be? desalination is probably the best choice since you wont fuck up other ecosystems by removing water from them.
Pipelines require maintenance, they leak all the time. Removing water from somewhere has its own local impact, how do you avoid a game of whack-a-mole where moving massive amounts of water disrupts both populations as ecosystems from where the water has been removed?

If it was a trivial solution it'd have already been done, it's always good to start with the principle "smarter people have thought about this" to try to understand a problem than thinking it's a trivial issue to be solved and no one else is as smart as you are.

What it is, however, is a thief. Lots of people have juicy secrets, that's why privacy is important in the first place.

Malware is very good at keeping hidden these days, running unspotted for a long time.

Sounds like you only accept silver bullet "solutions".

Scare quotes because nothing ever is.

The questions are "how often" and "where can be done about it", the answers are not "yes" and "turn it off and on again".

If you think open source will keep you safe, you are treating it as the exact silver bullet you're criticising Apple for not being.

> Thars a better check and balance than some conglomerate who never had my best interests in mind.

There's no real balance, and the checks are insufficient — there are definitely bugs that only get spotted a decade later, there are definitely state-sponsored flaws in OSS code, definitely some cases of normal criminals buying off some projects, and definitely cases where we don't find out about these things until much later.

And of course, quite a lot of OSS projects are in fact directly funded and managed by a corporation — the cathedral and the bazaar have both blended into a metaphorical Amazon marketplace, complete with fake reviews for fake products.
> (Also, even in the best case where you successfully treat somebody, I’m afraid that “1995 - 2024: psychotic homeless person” doesn’t look good on a resume, so they probably won’t be getting high-powered jobs. Meanwhile, cheap apartments in SF are $1000/month. So the connection between “no longer psychotic” and “no longer homeless on the street” is tenuous unless you also have some plan to provide free housing.)

I mean, there is so much overlooked here, I'm truly confused by this post.

The housing cost is very clearly related to the issues of homelessness. Of course it's not the only thing, but it's a significant factor.

Fix housing, provide housing for the mentally ill.

Voila! You no longer have mentally ill homeless people. Like, of course the system which doesn't support people until they're able to stand on their own legs results in people repeatedly falling over.

Fixing the mental illness epidemic is another problem, one which may require better policy around housing, food, mental health services, and taxation of the wealthy. Even then we may not have the tools to 'fix' all the people who've been broken by the current system, during the lifetime, because the human brain is so complex.

But if we fix these issues, the next generation wouldn't have so many mentally ill homeless people in the first place, and we'd have better tools in place to treat people before their mental illness spirals to the point where it's beyond our current mental health care industry's capability to treat.
That is exactly why I said "it depends."

My experience, is that folks can't deal with "it depends." We have to have "hard and fast" rules, to be applied in all contexts.

Determining "it depends" almost always requires scars and contusions. Less-experienced folks often have a much more difficult time, making these decisions, than folks that have been around the track a few times.

The folks that decided to cancel that project were very highly-placed executives. It wasn't an easy decision. However, one of my mistakes, was underestimating just how obstinate and change-averse, the QA people could be, and how much real power they wielded. If I had accepted this, I maybe could have saved the project. It was a hard lesson, but one I learned well.

That corporation made some serious mistakes, mainly from being so risk-averse, that they allowed their competitors to eat their lunch, and suffered a pretty big implosion. I suspect that they will do OK, in the long run, but they took a real beating. Ironically, the reason they survived that drubbing, was because of their fiscal conservatism.

I believe the argument is generally that they are advertising for the business whenever driving a company vehicle with logos on it.

Can the cities just buy water rights from farmers? That seems like the obvious solution - so obvious that, if it's not being done, there must be a reason why not. Does anybody know?
We can.

We don’t because who wants to pay for that? A long time ago you were talking about the Greatest Generation. OK. Fine. I can see them agreeing to pay for big projects. Generations nowadays though? Yeah, not so much.

I suppose at a state level California has the money and could pay for canals to California. But why wouldn’t they put it into desalination plants instead if it really came to that? And suppose California just uses their bottomless checkbook to desalinate or move water. What about all the other states out west? Who will pay for water to Arizona for instance?

This is another one that is a hard problem.

IIRC FAT32 is the only that needs to be supported for a valid UEFI implementation. So to actually have something like that alpine image work for most it does need to be limited to that.

There are also standalone EFI drivers that can be loaded by other means: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/efifs/ (e.g. systemd-boot loads these if they are installed to `<esp>/EFI/systemd/drivers/`)

> desire to establish a one-stop-shop for all Python users, Rye provides a unified experience to install and manages Python installations

This seems an impossible task on linux, where yum/apt packages are installed long before any higher-level python tools like poetry or rye. With the continual sprawl of "one tool to rule them all" in Py & Js, I'm thankful for Go being a much more consistent ecosystem.
The problem with all of the alternatives is that they aren't friendly for alternative OS. They mostly operate on a fork model, so upstreaming support for an OS doesn't mean everyone using that bootloader will support your OS. You either need to pretend to be Linux with a sort of boot shim, or build and flash a custom bootloader with support, which might be non trivial if you cannot get access to the forked bootloader's code.

UEFI is just a standard interface, not an implementation of a bootloader. This enables multiple UEFI compliant implementations as well as an easy way for OS to support all UEFI based bootloaders without needing to coordinate with the owner of the bootloader. While I'm sure most would agree the UEFI interface may not be ideal, it has a lot of industry momentum, and is therefore probably the best option to get behind. There are a lot of players in this space (mostly hardware vendors) and coordinating anything is very difficult and takes a very long time.
Thanks, I'll look into RAWTherapee and aftershot. I tried darktable before and the fact the default raw images don't look "out of camera" like they do in lightroom put me off (and the fact they developers claim it's "a feature not a bug")
> So, again, you prefer leaving these people alone, despite the police having a reasonable idea that they're carrying a weapon? You know, I suppose, that people carrying a gun walk and carry themselves in a distinctive way.

"The number of stops increased dramatically in 2008 to over half a million, 88% of which did not result in any fine or conviction, peaking in 2011 to 685,724 stops, again with 88% (603,437) resulting in no conviction. Leading to the remaining 82,287 resulting in convictions. On average, from 2002 to 2013, the percentage of individuals stopped without any convictions was 87.6%." [1]

Not terribly distinctive. They got it right less than 1/8th of the time. If that is your argument, that they were only stopping people they think had guns and were going to commit a violent crime, it's a terribly poor one. The vast majority of people were detained by the police with no cause other than looking a particular way.
