Changing the system font looks like a recipe for trouble.

For years one of my pet peeves about desktop Linux was that they weren't careful about font metrics and you might have 75px of horizontal space with an 95px wide label in it. (It's gotten better)

In the Unicode age who knows what you'll break. Just having a terminal where line drawing characters work is something you can't take for granted at all and you never know when some Chinese characters are going to show up. Nice to have something tuned that "just works" as opposed to being able to set your system font to comic sans for pure vaingloriosity.
yeah, that wonderful time when you needed a three year contract + support + licenses to get a startup going off ground

sure cloud benefit might not look like a lot if you are an enterprise customer, but for startup, along with open source software, it changed the game and is still an enabler of what you see today in term of supporting startups from bootstrapping all the way to unicorn.
I believe that's handled on the OBS side.
Ahhh… yeah I would not tolerate that either, but I don’t buy cars from dealerships- they are middlemen in the business of ripping you off. They already had to buy it at a market rate and added no value, so can’t make anything unless they overcharge you.
I’ve been out of the game for a while.

What’s something that’s most like heroku today? You just upload your code and they handle everything?

I don’t want to be worried about applying OS updates, etc.

> If Twitter's leadership had the same misapprehension then it wouldn't be entirely unreasonable for them to push back against an order that clearly wouldn't fly in the US

Huh? If the team is in Brazil, why would they oppose something that "would fly" in Brazil but not in the US? Doesn't matter if the entity itself (Twitter in this case) is in the US, if you're doing business in another country, even with a office there, you follow that country's laws and regulations.
It's actually a perfect analogy, IMO. Tattoo, is a form of (typically chosen) self-branding. A lot of companies make great products and then deminish them by thier mis/use of branding. Usually in a tactless way. This is a prime example of that.
Your examples are misinformed.

First of all, you are comparing two desktop environments that have been around for almost the same amount of time. KDE is extremely mature, both because of its age and its popularity. This is not the case with some niche e-ink products.

Secondly, you cannot even remotely compare the software needed for document rendering with the one for hand writing. The former is a very mature ecosystem and you can just write a UI on top of muPDF and port it to your platform to have a feature complete solution. The latter instead requires a wealth of expertise in how humans write and draw to develop both the drivers and the user land applications. Take the Librem phone or the PinePhone as exampleS. it took nothing to port Firefox or GIMP or DOOM to them, and yet the feel of their UI is terrible. Writing your PIN to unlock them lags, inputs are laggy, moving across the UI is slow and buggy. They are worse than the first iphone from almost 20 years ago, even though plenty of good developers have worked on them
That assumes a high level of tech literacy and a high level of trust in the tech companies implementing the system.

All you need is one demagogue saying “it’s fake, you can’t trust them, big tech is lying to you” etc. And people will believe that.
> What I'm really surprised about is how X is still operating in the US or here in Europe.

Me too, which is crazy. I remember when news outlets in Europe were complaining about how Russia forbids websites where people could talk freely, complained about arrests over social media posts. That was maybe a decade ago. Hearing "bad fake news hate speech bad" over and over again somehow does something, I guess. You start to seriously question why something that allows people to share text and pictures is not banned.
Almost 30 years ago the Netherlands were caught with their pants down actively participating in criminal activity. The scandal was called "The IRT affaire". At that time the IRT teams were more directly involved with criminal activity as I understand it.

After the big deal that that caused, it looks like they restructured to do the same sort of things but do it all through proxies instead. Plausible deniability. Avoidance of accountability. I expect I'm describing all intelligence agencies here with this, but this was a case of the justice department morphing into an intelligence agency driven thing. So no longer representing justice (or democracy) anymore.

In 2006, the mayor in our council signed the integrated approach to tackeling weed plantages agreement (Convenant, geintegreerde aanpak hennepplantage". The integrated part refers to the proxies (Their partners, like the council) through which they do everything. From that time he was obstructing all attempts from me not to be a victim of harrassment, theft, attacks etc.

Apparently, they are given orders, not explanations, to do things. Plausible deniability. Not very plausible but they would claim the deniability part.
Etymologically speaking, spirituality is related to, well spiritus, related to soul, spirit, vital principles and so on.
Religion on the other end comes from religare, which means to bind.

Can you see the difference in meaning of this two words ? One talks about ethereal things without boundaries but the other bounds you to something…

To answer your point, spirituality is broadly speaking your relationship with the invisible world. Is life to you purely material, explored only through the senses or is there more ?
The scale of cloud means the "pay cloud providers for their admins" is pretty cheap.

In this case, it sounds like the non-compete is a clause to an implied contract then.

And every single employment contract I have signed had a non-compete that was not mentioned during negotiation, and in every single case the non-competes could not be negotiated away either — that does not mean they have no consideration.

> Since you haven't even seen the paperwork until this point, how could you have proper consideration for it rolled up in the employment agreement?

You are using the word consideration in two different senses (i.e. equivocating in the technical sense) [1][2]. A contract must have consideration, but the consideration it requires is consideration in the sense of "A payment or other recompense for something done" not "The thought process of considering, of taking multiple or specified factors into account (with of being the main corresponding adposition)".

If you want consideration in the second sense here, just refuse to sign the clause until you have sufficiently considered it. But if you do sign it, it does not mean it's without consideration in the first sense here.

I've had a remarkable tablet. I'm very much waiting for the Supernote A4 x2. There's also BOOX Tab X and BOOX Max 3 if you want a 13.3" today.
I’ve got a RM2 and a Daylight tablet.

In ambient light the contrast is worse on the Daylight than the RM2 - the screen background is quite significantly darker.

However, the Daylight has a backlight which increases the contrast enormously. And it’s usable in the dark which the RM2 is not. The much faster refresh rate also gives it a more fluid feel.

What I didn’t anticipate is the difference the screen makes in how I use and perceive them:

As the RM2 is so simple and static it feels more like a notebook or book reader that happens to be battery powered, whereas the Daylight is definitely a gadget.

I’m more likely to use the RM2 to take notes or do some thinking and the Daylight as something to tinker with.
That is a big disappointment --- for a while it looked as if everyone would standardize on the new generation of Wacom EMR (w/ 4096 pressure levels) so that a Staedtler Noris Digital or Lamy Wacom EMR stylus works w/ a wide variety of devices --- I use them on:

- Samsung Galaxy Note 10+

- Kindle Scribe

- Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360

- Wacom One (attached to my MacBook)

and I couldn't count the number of styluses I have floating around my home/office.
> Cool, so slavery where slaves do not see the slavers (let us call it “proper segregation”) is OK?

Sorry, you cannot erase the desire for autonomy even with "proper segregation".

> If sentience is not required for a “right” to learn, then I have nothing else to say to you. There is nothing there that is even learning. Learning is a concept that presumes an entity with volition, aspiration, consciousness.

Learning does not presume any such thing, and I also don't think you understand the meaning of sentience.

You're projecting US values onto a country that is not the US.

All of Latin America is like this, and if X wants to do business there, this is the cost of business.

Twitter was happy to do this in Turkey and other countries. But Brazil has Steve Bannon and Bob Mercer with their hands there, so that should be a factor.
Devils advocate, but what about tobacco companies Philip Morris International and British American Tobacco?
> while he knows he would get blocked in Turkey in 2 seconds.

I guarantee Turkey is a minuscule revenue source for Twitter and that he doesn't care. His position is that he obeys lawful orders rather than the extralegal and often obviously illegal means centrist administrations have been using to surveil and censor. Starlink may have changed direction simply because the Supreme Court confirmed the dictator's twitter ban.
I think projects this magnitude are not good, with a 100B euro pricetag that will be diluted into paying for bureaucracy and conferences. It's good that it's keeping people busy though, can't criticise that.
Love my Remarkable 2. Give us an SDK!
The cloud, while expensive, gives flexibility. We had x machines running at a space where you rack machines.

First it took 3 weeks to decide what we needed, then 3 weeks to get a quote for new machines, then 3 weeks of negotiating and penny pinching because this was a 3 year lease. Then it took 3 months for them to get the machines in there.

In the cloud it's 3 clicks and you have the servers, and even better, scale on demand once you have good metrics in place.

Flexibility has a cost. But not being able to do anything also has a cost.
Do you count VPSes from Vultr or the like as "the cloud" for this purpose? And, incidentally, are there any VPS providers that you would recommend over Vultr when one doesn't need a whole dedicated machine in a given location?
Twitter is filled with sports stuff for me, nothing nazi and almost nothing political. I use it exclusively for sports stuff, though.
I wasn't.
Agreed, I often miss Palm's Graffiti input, I don't remember it well at all at this point I think I tried a similar input on android and went back to gesture keyboard. Of course, I kind of miss even developing for Palm as well, which was far simpler an experience than what Android and iOS are today.

Then again, rose colored glasses and all.
That may make the Brazilian government less authoritarian, but that doesn’t make anyone else more authoritarian. If anything, the fact that Musk is opposing even a very small act of authoritarianism would suggest that he is very strongly against authoritarianism.
Selection bias is a great point!

But also it needs to be said that improving DX (or UX, when we are at that) is not about pleasing the majority. It's about the experience for our target audience, which doesn't have to be the majority.

I can also care about design, while my choices look ugly for most people.
The Steve Bannon connection. I always wondered how close Musk is to the Bannon-Mercer complex or influenced by it.
What makes you want to host the website outside of Repaint? Is it related to website performance? We want to do things like optimize website speed and use CDNs to cache images. Is there something specific you need a hosting platform to have?
I have both. Daylight is _amazing_ for reading and marking up technical PDFs and books. Also good for marking up web pages.

Remarkable screen and pen latency is much better.

I hope they both succeed. Both awesome. I'll probably get this new Remarkable as well.

(That being said, I use my pen and paper bullet journal ($30) more than both of these combined).
I seriously doubt you will be able to prove it.

Ukrainian military bloggers use it, their public persons use it and while there is probably an an order that dictates not to use it - I really doubt it is being followed completely considering the vast majority of Ukrainian military are yesterdays conscripts and not professional soldiers. Some of them drink, some of them sell their equipment, some of them gamble.

I really doubt they don't use telegram. Maybe it is not systemic but neither this is for Russia.

> I don't understand what is causing people to have these really different experiences -- given the relatively minimal controls over timeline content

I offer that the purpose of exTwitter's algorithms is to choose different content for different people - and insufficient controls keep user consent from interfering with that.

As to why exTw algos choose what is chosen: The purpose of black boxes seems to be making sure users never, ever learn why.
> It's so nice that someone writes books for smart people.

I've read a lot of Stephenson and I don't mean this as a knock against him exactly, just an observation: he writes in a way that is inclined to make the HN crowd (myself included) feel smart because we are the target audience.

If you look at a lot of the protagonists, many of them are startup founders and game designers and coders and cryptographers and mathematicians, going on "heroes' journeys" where they save the world and/or get the girl. Nerds (aka hackers) who save the day. It's almost like it's engineered to stoke the egos of technologists.

Stephenson (who - again - I have read a lot of, and admire in a lot of ways) will always feel to me like a bit of a relic from early Internet culture, where a sort of persona was idolized. The startup founder / hacker / clever man (it was always a man).

A similar author to me is Andy Weir.
I'm absolutely fine without OCR and searching if they can give us working links. All I want to do is to be able to doodle a star on a page, or a word, and have that work as a link off to another page in another notebook. That's all you need for a zettelkasten-style system to hold your notes in but I've not seen anyone do it.
Do you mind sharing this?
Indeed, though Highway is approaching a system library at this point. It is also a thin wrapper over the compiler's intrinsics headers: e.g. ~16KLOC for arm_neon.h, times the number of targets. That's a lot of code, but it is not comparable with actual codec logic lines.

doubtful. It takes Western Civilization culture to build great things. It's why every other culture wants to immigrate to Western civilization and no one wants to immigrate in the reverse direction.

i have a kindle. I use it for reading books. Its only function (to me) is reading books.

I have an ipad pro (2018). It's functions are 1) watching youtube 2) drawing/painting on procreate and 3) using some music apps like AUM and various synths 4) acting a kitchen display for recipes and 5) general note taking if I need to take notes that involve drawing or diagrams.

I have a phone. I read on my phone because its the device I have with me most.

I look at this Remarkable and

1) It's much more money than either my kindle or even my phone cost.

2) I can't install the kindle app on it, for it to replace my kindle

3) It's not small or convenient enough to replace the kindle or phone

4) It's not good enough for drawing to replace the ipad

5) I don't understand why it doesn't interoperate with a lot of existing stuff. If I want to use my wifi to backup the remarkable to my onedrive, it doesn't sound like that's possible, which is possible on my phone and ipad, and isn't necessary on kindle since everything is already dealt with by amazon whispersync.

Not for me either.

First, batteries aren't only available "50% of the time", where does that come from?

Second, that isn't how 'efficiency' works, it is the percentage you get back from what you put in and your own link says 82%. Where are you getting these ideas?

efficiency is lower. This is what is meant by capacity.

Capacity or efficiency? You're getting your terms mixed up.

Math is hard. Understanding efficiencies via words is harder :)

It isn't that hard if you're talking about things that are true and make sense.
Both Kobo and Kindle devices allow you to fast scroll page thumbnails, which helps work around the refresh limitations of e-ink. Something like that is still missing from RM's software. You basically have to switch to multi-page view and then scroll that if you want to go quickly through a document.

Bingo, Boox support WebDAV or FTP file sync and it's a breeze to use. It pains me how much of modern tech doesn't support the very standards half of it's built on. All to moat users into their domain.

Yeah, almost certainly. We had looked into enabling branch detection several years ago, but it had slowed our suite down to the point where we were not sure it was worth it. Maybe worth looking into again.

I do generally like that technique of returning more vetted objects, but I'm not sure that it scales. Our users have close to one hundred different permissions based on the features their admin pays for, having an object for every type seems like a lot. Every combination of types is straight out.

The original issue I was talking about I don't think could have been helped. It was an encoding problem that could have potentially lead to XSS injection with a very specific set of GET parameters. I was frankly surprised that the PEN testers managed to find it.

But someone several levels above me drank the kool-aid and now everything takes four times as long and turns out crappy because half the team is spinning wheels learning new proprietary cloud tech and reimplementing the base-level tooling we already had.

I haven't looked at the software stack in a while. Has RM gone more open source yet? I didn't like how they were pivoting to toward the SaaS subscription thing.
