Do you recall the solution? It seems like a tricky problem. No approach occurs to me aside from a brute force analysis of the 400 year Gregorian calendar cycle, accounting for the complete leap year rules (under which, e.g., 1900 was not a leap year but 2000 was).
I was worried Workflow was totally screwed as a product after Apple bought it, but they've done a really great job at turning it into Shortcuts and integrating it across all their platforms.

Being able to put Shortcuts into Control Center in iOS 18 is a handy option, if anyone missed that you can do that now.

fwiw, you're forgetting Mainstage, which is the defacto industry standard (alongside Ableton, to an extent) for live performance. There's a cottage industry of Mainstage session sales and sound design that is funded by basically every theater production in the United States from high school to Broadway which is wild if you think about it.

Garageband is also way more popular than people realize. Logic, (which is Garageband+ since version 10, essentially) has a few features that anyone in that ecosystem really wants. Logic + Mainstage is still unbeaten for the value for recording/production/performance, while Ableton continues to rot and Bitwig gets slightly better (but is still no Logic, and costs 3x more for fewer features)

You're talking about nation support for Zionist Israel and that's pretty much just the US. The US is the worlds current hegemon and it's current policy of exporting liberal democracy is part of the globalist effort to instill and maintain a rules based world order. I consider that to be globalism and the opposite of nationalism.

Trump is merely wearing the cloak of nationalism in order to get elected which I guess is why it gets confusing - Zionism is a wedge issue in the culture war and an ability for the right wing to take part in grievance politics. Evangelicals have also been thoroughly brainwashed to support Zionist Israel but those are dying out and the new ones are smaller in number and have a net negative view of Israel. Support for Israel was already on a demographic timer which has only just gotten much shorter since Oct 7th.

We're going to see some weird things in the near future.
U.S. Space Industry: Risking It All
How are prices increasing? 5G modems have allowed broadband competition in previously monopolized markets. I now have the choice of 5 different providers, all capable of delivering 500mbps+ speeds, when before the only choice was Comcast alone.
This isn't the first time I've read a comment criticizing PDF, but it is the first time I can recall the Portable Document Format (PDF) being accused of low portability.
I couldn't believe this, even all the poorly-defined qualifiers, given maximal charity, don't really help.

The whole thing has the scent of "we were told to get an outcome, eventually got it, and wrote it up!" --- I've never ever read a Project Zero blog post like this,* and I believe they should be ashamed of putting glorified marketing on it.

* large # of contributors with unclear contributions (they're probably building the agent Google is supposed to sell someday), ~0 explication of the bug, then gives up altogether on writing and splats in selected LLM responses.

I'm not sure if others have it. But notepad++ had a pretty neat way to mark lines from search and do various multiline editing that I've always enjoyed.

Agree with the other person - there's nothing unethical about hiring people in right-to-work laws and systems however you like. employers can fire at any time with no reason, the reverse also has to be true that they can hire at any time with no reason

buyouts are often massive considering the alternative, which is the cost of recruiting and possibly inflated salaries for the people you recruit, which frankly happens often in buyouts anyway
It's funny to watch computer programmers (and various experts), whose day job is literally handling complexity and producing truth, fail so quickly and utterly at simple culture war topics. It is like the weirdest thing, people like you (though you did make at least one error somewhere in this thread) are 1 in 1000++ in my estimation.

> Apple's approach to hardware design warrants criticism. By creating GPUs with limitations that hinder standard functionalities like tessellation shaders and using non-standard page sizes, Apple places unnecessary obstacles in the path of developers. This closed ecosystem not only complicates the work for open-source contributors but also stifles innovation that could benefit all users.

Apple designs its hardware to suit its own ends, and its own ends only. It's obvious to everyone here that this supports their closed business model, which actually works for them very well - they make excellent hardware and (some software flakiness more recently notwithstanding) the median user will generally have an excellent time with their hardware + software as a result.

So they're not placing "unnecessary obstacles in the path of developers" at all by designing their hardware as they do - they're just focused on designing hardware to suit their own needs.

(Also note that if their hardware wasn't excellent, there wouldn't be such interest in using it in other, non-Apple-intended ways.)
Critiques Nadella's emphasis on the "growth mindset", and links some articles suggesting that the research supporting it has not been successfully replicated. Kind of interesting...

The only time people didn't have a choice is when they wanted to interact with society. Something which, thanks to the internet and delivery services, is almost wholly optional in this day and age.

But, the moment you start interacting with society at large, you have to follow that society's laws. Laws which have always included things like quarantining and mandatory vaccinations to prevent the spread of infectious disease.

See, as one example, the 1920 response to the Spanish Flu epidemic.
Since CPI (inflation) has gone up 30%+ since 2018 this seems eminently reasonable- in fact Inwoukd think inflation linked salaries would work quite well (unless governments will buy into the MMT idea and actually tax the wealthy)
All of the businesses described have been around for long enough for us to discover why the things they 'eliminated' existed in the first place.

Amazon is an infinite cornucopia of worthless shit. A good shop is one that offers a variety of products in each category, where each has been selected by someone who knows enough about those products for me to be confident that buying the cheapest option will still be a good buy. Also, waiting for delivery is more friction for me than walking to the shop.

Tesla has a design philosophy that I fundamentally disagree with, which introduces friction into operating the car. I have no off-street parking, so an electric car is less convenient for me than a petrol one. Maintenance in the form of physical objects ensures that I have control over what features my car offers.

Netflix provides less variety for me than the old video rental places did. Having all of the tapes lined up made it easier to browse for an unexpected gem than the standard streaming site menus. Producers not being obsessed with metrics meant that series were made to their natural conclusions.

Physical input controls provide a better interaction with devices (consider the obsession with mechanical keyboards). Thanks to integrated cameras, people go to concerts and watch them through their phone screens rather than enjoying the actual performance.

Traditional taxi services (at least where I'm from) offered varying levels of service quality through easily-identified and well-known brands. Government regulation ensured passenger safety and made sure drivers were able to make a living.

Spotify - see Netflix.

When books were only published on dead trees, the cost of doing so ensured that whole teams of people were employed to ensure that what was published was of a reasonable quality and, in the case of non-fiction works, accurate. Now bullshit and humanity's greatest works sit side-by-side with little to indicate which is which.

I don't want to be that person going on about how things were better in 'the good old days', but an awful lot of people simply can't cope without all the guardrails that the pre-Internet businesses imposed on the market. Sure, I can successfully navigate the complexity, and can even thrive in it, but I live in a society, which means that I end up paying for other people's incapability somewhere.
Okay so how do I set the resolution of an output video to 100 x 100 in iMovie?

(The answer of course is that you cannot)

And yes, my complaint is that it doesn't have the options I want, which makes it a deficient video editor -- the same way an image editor not having history makes it deficient. I want to set arbitrary resolutions on the output video, not be relegated to 540 720 and 1080, and I don't want to have to do gymnastics to get it to upscale.

This part was unnecessary btw.
New-Item -type SymbolicLink
Well, that's because deep enterpise users have closed sourced software that cannot be updated (pick any reason, it doesn't matter which one) and they need that compatibility. MS needs to keep them vendor-locked to keep making money off them.

That's not something that happens in Open Source Software world.
It depends on how big 'big' is. Years ago I was working with large CSVs - several hundred MB - and Vim took forever. I found some other text editors that specialized in extra-large files (I wish I remembered the names now), and the one we tried worked like magic.
Odd to see this come up. I used it about 6 years ago to produce a CLI for devs. It worked very well and React concepts map cleanly to pretty much any "UI" target as said targets can also be well represented by declarative & composable trees.

Probably, other Ui frameworks could also map, seeing as the declarative/composable tree pattern is ubiquitous now. So it's important to note it's that pattern which enables this, and not a specific framework.

But React is one of the ones that is also more removed from the web target than others.
It keeps temp files in one of the appdata folders. You could just blow them away and it would just remove them from the tab list. The issue is do you want to keep that stuff or not. Also ctrl-w and n. should work fine too.
Ive been meaning to try Sublime for a while now. Will try and comment my experience at a future time. Thing is N++ never dissapointed and if Sublime wins my mindshare Id be having some tough decision to make. Also N++ is free and I developed plugins for myself. Maybe Sublime is still better, don’t know for sure.
yep i think the newer ones use a different fuel that is longer lived, and advances in tech around it make it more viable than it was decades ago
I have to second this, uncomfortably. Last dermatologist I saw, when I walked in, I thought I was in the wrong place. It looked like a "skincare" store full of branded junk. Nope, that's the office - it's just also a store. The whole place felt weird and so obviously catered to rich people overpaying for things they didn't need... but ultimately, the dermatologist was chill and didn't recommend any treatment at all.
It strikes me as a picture filled with both positives and negatives, and the point being made is not that China is a doomed sinking ship, but that the challenges it is dealing with aren't analogous to the ones faced by the US in the 19th century. (I don't know if wealthy 19th-century Americans did or did not aspire to move their wealth to Europe or send their kids abroad for school, but at least, the argument being made by the poster suggests a belief that they were not).
I don't personally believe that the data would be good quality by modern standards. Also, with rising levels of minor paranoia among some groups, I'd wager $1 that people these days are less likely to fill out forms like the ones shown in the article.

However, if we presume that the data were of good enough quality and available to government, I believe that at least California would try to do something with it.
Its true.

I usually seed conversations with several fact-finding prompts before asking the real question I am after. It populates the chat history with the context and pre-established facts to build the real question from a much more refined position.
It tracks with my experience that nobody has asked me who I'm voting for in an election since I was younger than 27.
Why not? Current macOS ships code older than that.
> Gun owners and pro 2nd amendment readers

I'm a gun owner and I can overlook them using a term in a way that it is popularly used among laypeople, even if it is technically not correct [0]. Discarding the content of the article on that premise would just be abdicating my responsibility to think.

[0] I gotta say, though, who exactly gets to insist on the definition of a general term like assault rifle? Seems like another instance of useless gatekeeping. A distraction.

In the broad aggregate agree, but not on all topics.

What if there is something like science that's yet to be invented (" a lack of outside forces"), thus people do not have access to the "intelligence" bonus it provides. Would this count, if there was such a thing?

It’s worthless in Thailand. I was checking it last week with a Thai friend here in Bangkok. The forecast was clear skies while in fact we had an epic monsoon storm.

This article was written in 2018... Android one is long dead, now the owners of inexpensive Android phones again have to guarantee that they will ever receive security fixes or updates.

> One thing I really like about software is that it can theoretically live forever... ...The learning you do goes to waste, when some fickle company pulls the plug in the future.

I think you could say that software lasts forever when it's author wants it to. There is plenty of dead proprietary software that dates from before the era of cloud services; it's dead because, just like the SaaS company that pulls the plug today, nobody thought (or dared) to preserve the source code.

To make sure software really lasts, history shows us that the best thing one can do is to release the code as FOSS :)
Embeddings from things like one-hot, count vectorization, tf-idf, etc into dimensionality reduction techniques like SVD and PCA have been around for a long time and also provided the ability to compare any two pieces of text to each other. Yes, neural networks and LLMs have provided the ability for the context of each word to affect the whole document's embedding and capture more meaning, potentially that pesky "semantic" sort even; but they still are fundamentally a dimensionality reduction technique.

Why do you think the MMT idea is to tax the wealthy? If anything, the MMT idea is that the wealthy are not special and that tax needs to be broad base to achieve its purpose of freeing resources to be purchased by the state. The problem with the wealthy is their marginal propensity to consume is low compared to the masses.

One might want to tax the wealthy for other reasons, but I'm not sure it can be easily motivated by MMT reasoning.

Metered pricing is basically cloud pricing. Probably reasonable for some uses but uncommon for applications at least with major providers.
I think it makes sense to try and cycle the majority of the dependency network to the new versions but I also think it probably makes sense to let the old toolkits live on indefinitely (maybe strategically drop the webkit stuff everything else should be low maintenance) for a variety of reasons, particularly old commercial software.

It is comical in some sense that a Motif app of yore would've been a great "investment" in terms of still functioning now and for the foreseeable future.. sort of like Win32/MFC.
Not everyone is lucky enough to be able to treat it like sports teams. You can't be friends with someone who disagrees about whether you should exist. It's hard to have a member of your family who thinks having a family like yours should be a crime.

Healthcare policy for example is life or death. You don't always choose the hill you die on. Sometimes you need lifesaving medical care that is considered illegal abortion now. This is politics too and exposure to its risks is not evenly distributed. I'm glad they're not particularly distributed to you right now but some of us experience it differently.
Decades? Really? The UX was so bad in 1998 I just went back to windows for another decade.

Much of what you cite, being able to have and share opinions, etc., has been illegal in much of the world for at least parts of the twentieth century, e.g., Germany from sometime in the late twenties or early thirties, and definitely from the mid thirties on, until 1945; the Soviet Union for much of its existence; Mao's China; Khmer Cambodia; etc.

Democratic politics with free association and free elections with secret ballots are what it possible for you to hold and share your opinions, especially the unpopular ones.
