I think you're onto something. I'm not sure what you mean by 'components' on the roadmap, but if it's the ability to bring react components back into the editor, and have the designer WYSIWYG modify the props - that's the exact thing we've been saying "suuurely this must exist" for a long time (rant mode enabled).

The key pain for us that I think you're touching on is that "design/dev mode" isn't how teams actually work. Devs do far more design than we think. My experience is that designers do the pretty or complex pieces, while dev does the long tail "boring" designs. Often devs do the screen layouts since nav and routing can get a bit complex. Secondly, designers don't just hand off a design and that's it. The design system gets implemented as components, which have tweaks due to usability/issue reports/further design, and then the designers really want to be taking those components and recomposing them back into sections and screens. Ideally designers would be just setting props like images, text and ids faaaar up the abstraction layers, with dev components being automatically synced back in as they're built and updated.

So definitely think your setup is potentially hitting a sweet spot between dev/design. Just to validate it as as product - plus one for open source with a paid hosted tier for convenience. Devs get to tinker, and designers don't have to think about how to run it.
You can add things to /etc/services and software that properly uses getservbyname(3) when binding to a port can use those names.

> What is the worst that can happen?

I don't know the worst, but juice is not worth the squeeze in my opinion. If you recall, Ticketmaster was just recently hacked, so the worst pretty much happened in that any data they had collected on their users is potentially been leaked. So if they can't protect that data, then I'm not participating in giving them data.
I am not one of the downvoters, but I assume it is because you make unsusbtantiated accusations of defensive behaviour about most of the Europeans on HN. It's flame bait.
I am thinking I have seen tutorials on tracing to vector, like maybe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=480dGcU6ce4&pp=ygUVYWZmaW5pd...

Or perhaps you are describing something else I am unfamiliar with the terminology.

I've been going back to several tutorials on youtube for doing things affinity - as it seems to have the capabilities I am used to with the old photoimpact, it's just finding where / how is not the same.
it must be comfortable to have such a simplistic view on the world
That's generally fine until the build breaks due to a transitive dependency several levels down releasing a breaking change. While requirements.txt may hold enough information to build the project now, it is not guaranteed to work in the future -- you would need lockfiles for that guarantee.

I've seen projects sort of emulating this by using "requirements.in" to list direct program dependencies, and auto-generating "requirements.txt" using "pip freeze". But when you find yourself doing that, it's probably time to switch to Poetry.
The Quality perspective seems more like persistence to me, attacking every potential issue (like Howard Hughes polishing rivets).

Persistence to me extends the reality principle to even minor and potential issues: they *must* be addressed (the "almost predatory" response) - driving engagement.

Obstinance to me reduces the reality principle to consistent facts, and serves more as avoidance.

(The flaw of the Quality perspective stems more from expanding bureaucratic incentives and achieving scale through excessive punishment driving aversive behaviors.)

They don't turn off the power because of fires, they turn it off because of wind. The policy and doctrine about when and where to do it has been significantly changed, and that is why almost nobody got de-energized in '22, '23, or so far in '24.
> Doesn't Windows, the most popular OS out there, have a cmd.exe terminal thing? Why isn't that harming Windows?

That's because the overwhelming majority of Windows usage, administration, and programming can be done almost entirely without ever touching the command-line, from Explorer.exe, Task Manager, Edge, Media Player, Paint, and built-in ZIP handling to the huge list of MMC snap-ins[1], and Visual Studio 2022.

You could extract the barcode at all times in the future by setting the system clock (you can do this on non-rooted phones, and keep it that way at least if you do it in airplane mode).

The Android docs mention a "secure timer" in the hardware security module, but I'm not sure that it can be used to prevent this.

My previous laptop was a Chromebook running Linux+Coreboot. Unfortunately the usual Tianocore UEFI BIOS people use had some bugs in the nvme and keyboard drivers, which I gave up fixing or working around (at the time). Obviously Linux had working drivers because that's all ChromeOS is, so we setup a minimal Linux install as the Coreboot payload in the firmware flash, and I wrote a little Rust TUI to mount all visible partitions and kexec anything that looked like a kernel image. It worked like a charm and had all kinds of cool features, like wifi and a proper terminal for debugging in the BIOS! Based on that experience I don't see any reason why we don't just use Linux direct instead for everything. Why duplicate all the drivers?

No.

Why do you think he was required to verbally bow and scrape? The sample letters here show nothing more than ornate politeness.

His brilliance was known in his own time and he was respected and established at court.

Whether he saw advantage in this connection for financial, social or purely altruistic reasons is debatable, but it is presumptive I think to declare subservience.

I'm not saying that other people should go the route that I did, I'm just adding to the conversation.

I wanted to make my "smart" tv "dumb" without losing smart tv functionality, so I bought a mini pc and installed Kubuntu on it. Normally I don't use KDE but it is a very highly customizable DE and so I customized the hell out of it to make the desktop look like a typical smart tv launcher page. I created launchers for streaming services and YouTube etc. and bought a USB remote control from Amazon.

Now I have a Linux machine that is entirely under my control, runs FOSS software and runs streaming services in a web browser instead of installing proprietary software on my TV. I also have way more features, like being able to use VLC to play local media so it supports pretty much every file format ever (and I have a lot of older video files from decades ago so that's nice).

My "smart" tv is no longer connected to any network but I can still do every smart tv thing that I want to and more.
Complexity, indeed. I haven't looked into this stuff in literally decades, but: I thought the purpose of a boot loader was to pass control to code belonging to the OS - which would then be responsible for loading it's own drivers, etc.. This solution sounds like starting an entire OS, only to boot the next OS.

But then I think UEFI is also stupidly complicated, and ought to be whacked down to its core functions. Dinosaur, am I.
What's the point of using this over plain EFISTUB? I use it with Arch, and whenever I want to boot to Windows, I just use the BIOS menu. I don't see what benefit a Linux-based bootloader provides.
I can't check but trust you over my memory. It must have been in the book, then, that these points are made

I distincly recall a section on "Why hairdressers are not bullshit jobs", referring to a Hitchhikers Guide joke, and at least one bit about food services being "shit" jobs (but not bullshit jobs). I recall the latter because it was a point of argument with a friend when we read it.

Someone commented something similar below. When I have time I will check

The problem isn't scams.

The problem is that Americans are not required to have an ID -- at all. No federal law requires it, and there is none issued by default.

(This is not the same as saying "Americans don't have to carry an ID" even though that is also true.)
I wish the publishing industry would create a flatrate model for books and magazines, I would gladly pay for it. With the current business model, digital versions are often more expensive than the printed one. Shadow libraries like z-lib, scihub or Annas Archive are just a symptom: we have a near unlimited demand for digital knowledge, but the supply logic still based on the idea of paper and scarcity.
> I'm pretty certain it was discrimination in my case

Well, maybe, and that sucks, but it also doesn't really matter. You're still burdening thousands if not tens of thousands of groups with a significant legislation and cumbersome procedure just because there's this one group in the bible belt that might be a bunch of jerks. You can't really legislate jerks away.

And regardless, I don't think public resources should only be available to "nice people", or "non-toxic groups" (whatever subjective meaning you can give to that). It really doesn't cost a lot of money to provide and manage some venue for public use, and "funded by tax dollars" is more of a hang-up than anything else. Tons of public resources are funded by tax dollars, from pavements to social services to the fire brigade. Jerks and groups that are a bunch of jerks have just as much right to use these resources as anyone else. This line of reasoning becomes pretty absurd fairly quickly.

The nice thing about my approach is that pip-tools is only needed when modifying your requirements, and it also lives in a separate venv/requirements.txt from the dependencies you actually care about.

So yes: you need those dependencies in a development context, if you're actively modifying your Python requirements. But they don't make their way into your production requirements.txt, and don't need to be installed anywhere other than a short-lived venv.
Especially considering that over the past decade software monetization has been shifting towards subscription models
The pronounciation of math symbols is hilarious, but not super useful. Prompt: "Give me Maxwell's equations".
At some level of complexity/edge-case-ey-ness you just need arbitrary execution to get things done. At some point you need to accept that that if you're pulling in a dependency, you trust the authors of that code enough to execute their code. That being said, getting project version, deps, etc. should be statically available for packages, but being computed from source isn't the worst thing IMO, though it's not what I would go with.
You would hope... But they often run the scanners in offline mode (e.g. at temporary / seasonal events) so there can be lag in the backends being updated.

Heard from a friend who got straight into two events in the same city recently - they presumed the show was at one outdoor venue but the scanners let them straight in at the first (wrong) venue. Went to the correct venue and got in there without any issue too (this suggests one or both venues were offline or using offline scanners).

Yeah, we tend to overlook this. I grew up in the 80s/90s and the global standard of living has increased dramatically since then.

Some of these tvs also hardcode DNS IPs. If your router supports it -- check the outgoing traffic from the tv to the standard DNS ports.
I'm not talking about new builds.

New builds in developed countries can be 100% renewable because there's enough installed non-renewable capacity available as fallback. Developing countries don't have that.
Nobody claimed Coke is as historically significant as all wines combined. That is the straw man. As the best selling single soda brand, and a major global export that people in almost every country on earth consume, Coke does in fact have global cultural and economic significance, which is just a fact. That fact is not taking anything away from the rich history of winemaking, so there’s no need to be defensive. Have some wine and relax!

Edit: BTW Coca Cola’s revenue does stack up meaningfully against the entire wine industry. (The Google results are all over the map, so I’m being careful with my claims, but according to some web pages out there, Coca-Cola’s net revenue is higher than all wines combined.) There is an economic basis for comparing Coke to wine, which does support a cultural basis for comparison, in addition to other reasons Coke is culturally relevant. Notice I’m not (and upstream comments were not) coming to any conclusions about the result of that comparison.

> Initramfs is used for generic kernels where you don't know beforehand which features will be required.

And also for e.g. cases where you've got some custom stack of block devices that you need to set up before the root FS and other devices can be mounted. It's not just about loading kernel modules.
Truly amazing that it was allowed to cover the map real estate. If it was a dedicated portion of the screen that might show ads, I guess it would be better?

Is it the wood bevel? If so, maybe something like the "Core Display"

Do you not care about the bevel at all and it's the zen of the eInk?
Then maybe call it the Zen Screen or Air Display.
I must be doing something wrong because I can just use Home to go to the beginning of the line and End to go to the end and I am pretty sure all the things that are easy to type as just as easy to type be in Gnome Terminal on Ubuntu or Windows Terminal on Windows.

Syncing audio and video timing for multicam is so difficult that it generally requires onsite highly paid camera operators to manage.

I wonder what magic they used (and what underlying data format for the video) to make this sync magic happen.
They already get so much information from maps running on your phone, why do they need to shove ads onto driving directions?

Add a few pins when browsing or searching to related things. If they're similarly relevant (i.e. I search for "Chick-fil-a" Sunday, show me other chicken shops), the conversion rate could be pretty solid.
I don't know what this looks like but I probably hate it. It's like the frame interpolation that some TVs had to generate 120p frames from 60p. I actually prefer the original 24p (or 24p double-exposed to 48 like cinema projectors do) for films.

What really bugs me are the "Remastered" versions of songs on Spotify that sound like they were produced with today's audience in mind and doesn't sound like the original recording of the time, which has way more character and inherent texture by the artists without the soulless robo-producer repaint job. That would all be fine, except that they remove the original non-Remastered versions.
I'm trying it, and this library doesn't work on clang 14. Do you have any insight as to why?
Carriers are extremely slow. High end missiles are extremely fast. 40 knots < mach 15 / 1000s of knots. Carriers cannot, and have not ever been able to out run land based mach 10+ IRBMs missiles - the relevant type designed to hit carriers at sprint + airwing + standoff range or deter them from entering range where carriers can operate at all.

The entire carriers are fast and will be where missiles will not misconception comes from people conflating carrier speed (slow), with adversary ability to plan/execute counter strike operations (typically even slower). The prior assumption is _most_ US adversaries lack ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) which would constrain mission planning to many hours which gives carriers room to move 100s of nautical miles, either outside of retaliatory missile ranges or simply adversary OODA loop, i.e. adversaries simply don't have hardware or software (as in processes) to plan a counter strike in time. It's not that carriers are fast, but adversaries are too slow in terms of operation planning to launch their fast hardware, giving carriers lots of time to slowly get to safety.

This is doesn't apply to high end adversaries with proper ISR (i.e. PRC who launched 100s of ISR satellites last few years) who pretty much knows where US carriers are at all times and have near persistent coverage of their operations, who can launch saturation strikes of mach 15+ missiles that can reach carriers within 30 minutes in indopac that can't be outrun and in salvo sizes that carrier groups does not have magazine depth to defend against.
That only tells us China produces lower-margin goods. It isn't surprising that a developed country has higher labor productivity than a developing or middle-income one. Using that to decide whose carbon emissions are "fairer" is a fools errand.
>I imagine doing all this and tying it to systemd would generate some backlash like usual (although at this point, it seems unlikely that this would affect the plans given how few distros don't use systemd).

systemd-boot is independent of systemd. It's called "systemd-" because it's under the same "group of core OS software" umbrella named "systemd", but otherwise it can be compiled independently, does not require the OS to be using systemd, etc.

Edit: I also wrote originally that switching to systemd-boot would also require switching the kernel from vmlinuz+initramfs to a UKI, but I forgot systemd-boot does support vmlinuz+initramfs through explicit loader entries config.

Yes - something to that effect is also discussed at length in the book

I think it was in the context of categorizing the kinds of bullshit jobs and the "cleaning" of useless, bullshit-produced littering was one of the examples

From these discussions I'm thinking the book is quite comprhensive on the topic. Several of the comments here are addressed there in one way or another

I believe the two main reasons are

- inertia (don't rewrite something if it works; who really wants to own responsibility for testing this thing on all architectures GRUB currently supports?)

- multi-OS boot scenarios (I assume this new system will support that, but (a) I don't know for sure and (b) I don't really want to boot all the way into Linux just to throw Linux away and boot something else...)
Is there any car sold in the US that still has a built-in map? For example my Honda from the early 2000's has it stored on a DVD player under the driver's seat.
For what it’s worth, the current version and version one were both designed in a way that they could be switched to a subscription model.

When you make purchases from their store they’re available within the app based on your account, if you sign out you’ll lose access to them.

I know with V1 you could manually download your assets, I’m not sure what the status is for V2 on that.

I share your scepticism since the Canva acquisition.
Apple will probably reject your apps based on rule 4.3 from the guidelines: “Don’t create multiple Bundle IDs of the same app. If your app has different versions for specific locations, sports teams, universities, etc., consider submitting a single app and provide the variations using in-app purchase.”

These are great questions and match my conclusion after many years of big5 management consulting: (A) Organizations are not optimized towards efficiency or value, they are optimized to align power between the executives and their self interest.
