The challenge is that there's only so many volunteers contributing to GIMP, and lots of people with requests. The loudest/most frequent ones tend to be addressed first (as volunteers are able).

For instance, I worked on non-destructive editing because so many people said it was an essential missing feature that also needed to be there 20 years ago. Now that it's implemented, I've seen a lot of happy people who appreciate it and what it does for their workflow. At the same time, that means there are new requests for the next "essential missing feature". :)

You seem to know more about this than me. I have a family member who "invented" some electronics things. He hasn't done anything with the inventions (I'm pretty sure they're quackery).

But to ensure his patent, he mailed himself a sealed copy of the plans. He claims the postage date stamp will hold up in court if he ever needs it.

Is that a thing? Or is it just more tinfoil business? It's hard to tell with him.

The reason I have read is that the car can only be taxed within a given jurisdiction. If you travel outside that jurisdiction then the vehicle would not be taxed by that authority. I could be taxed by an authority in another jurisdiction.

The analogy is probably a fuel tax that is paid at the point of purchase.

Still, it seems that we could agree that taxes for a vehicle be paid in the jurisdiction where it is registered and just use odometer readings to calculate the distance traveled.

It's strange how the standard American History classes pretty much ignore the late 19th century. It was a time of real intellectual flourishing in America. With the notable exception of Benjamin Franklin, it's when American scientists really became globally relevant rather than smart folks who more or less just stayed kept up with European advances. Peano cited Peirce as his inspiration for the logical notation we now use today. And Gibbs[1] was one of the fathers of modern thermodynamics.

While writing this comment I learned that Gibbs shared Peirce's interest in graphical notations. They're interesting to me, because in a lot of ways they feel clunkier than traditional mathematical formulae, but when they work, boy do they ever work well. Feynman diagrams are maybe the most well known example.

I'm pretty sure there are millions waiting to be made with a good AI powered diagrammatic IDE.

> Rust has panics, which are exceptions.

Panics are fatal errors that the program is not expected to recover from, and it might as well terminate on the spot – as if you cut off power, which you have to be ready for no matter what. In fact, abort-on-sight-without-unwinding is one of the ways they can be configured to work. It’s the case where an operation fails, but the program attempts to continue running that is the most fragile. This is where you’re likely to enter an invalid state.

> you have the same from-anywhere control flow you're complaining about above

Not from literally anywhere – from the places where the error-propagation operator is used. I will never have myself thinking “oh wait, F could have thrown before G is invoked and break my invariants!” months after writing that code. C++ is chock-full of such problems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9ZYM0d6htg

> Some languages, like Common Lisp, have a catch that's also an expression. So what?

So more power to them! That is actually a major improvement compared to your typical dynamic ALGOL, where you find yourself stuck in situations like:

def foo():
try:
return d1[k1] + d2[k2]
except KeyError as e:
""" now what? which lookup failed? """

and have to resort to clumsy workarounds.

> Amazing to me that the same people will laud Result because it lifts errors into signatures in Rust but hate checked exceptions because they lift errors into signatures in Java.

I don’t think you can write a generic over a checked exception list in Java, which means higher-order functions cannot deal with them. Modern implementations just don’t bother. Meanwhile, when errors are values, improvements to the type system in the happy path will apply to the error path as well, because they don’t use distinct language facilities that have to be separately considered and specified.

It's because when you build a SPA you give up a bunch of stuff that comes with the traditional web page model, and it's stuff that most teams overlook until it's too late. They are usually fixated on a certain set of performance issues that drove them to do an SPA in the first place, their energy goes into that, and then they kind of look around at all the other stuff and go, oh, we don't have time for those things.

This is why I typically fight SPAs every step of the way with our clients, if any other architecture will work I see if there is a good case to be made for it, because I know that SPAs are usually going to end up shipping broken in some way.
Well, there is no real precedent, and that isn't what happened.

I'd say so. Non-destructive editing means you don't have to Ctrl-Z over and over again when you want to change a filter, which is a better user experience. Same with built-in text outline features, which makes that process much easier than in GIMP 2.10. Multi-selection instead of the chain tools is another nice UX improvement.

Not to say that there isn't more work to be done, but I think there's a lot of good work done by volunteers already.

This is standard behavior in pretty much any kind of art/content creation app. You have a project file which can be saved and reopened in the app, saving the state of the layers/effects/etc to be edited later, and can “export” a final render to a specific format for your medium. Image/video editing, digital audio workstations, 3D-modeling programs, they all behave like this, for good reason since it usually takes a long time to export to a specific format, and when you do, you lose the ability to change anything.

Think of it like source code, and each exportable file type is like a compilation target.

I don't think so.

Superscalar is a real term (multiple operations in one clock tick due to parallel pipelines within a core). But hyperscalar is cringe to me. There are tons of words describing SIMD already, it seems unclear why someone would make up a new word to describe an already existing concept.

Especially when a similar word (superscalar) already is defined and likely gets confused for this new word.

Well, a free market system is 'free'. You donate your money or your effort or do neither. The money part of transaction is not set in stone.
No doubt. And in the United with all the corruption happening at the Local levels it is A LOT more expensive than it needs to be (just look at what happens when some major issue arises - https://www.forconstructionpros.com/infrastructure/article/2... - this was fixed in two weeks - if this project was actually done as "normal" infrastructure project it would have take a year at a cost of like $891 million).

But money is already being collected for these things through 89 different taxations - so more revenue is 100% not the way to fix this problem.

Let me ask you something: Do you support removing liquor laws banning underage people from being sold alcohol? Or removing laws that ban the sale of cigarettes to children? How about gambling or buying lotto tickets for childrenm

I think it's clear that as a society we have already decided that government has a role in establishing legal protections to prevent children from falling afoul of systems that are designed to be predatory

This is just another layer of that

Which also establishes a social norm that letting children drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, or gamble is not a good thing, so people who are bad parents know at least some baseline of what they should not be doing
Biology has an incredible set of priors for this, given that actual neurons have been experimenting with topologies for millions of years. The neuron itself can be thought of as a meta-topology in that it constructs potentially arbitrary hypergraphs with the basic building block of axon/dendrites, albeit with a locality bias.

Neurons actually have different topologies across different brain regions, such as the more striated hippocampus versus the stratified cerebral lobes. These have been hypothesized to function as different forms of gradient descent, as pure back propagation style bidirectional communication is perhaps only present in a few specific brain regions or body extremities. But I think a more popular interpretation is that these are neighborhoods of co-activation that emphasize different kinds of distributed learning.

Intel needs to see what has happened to their AVX instructions and why NVidia has taken over.

If you just wrote your SIMD in CUDA 15 years ago, NVidia compilers would have given you maximum performance across all NVidia GPUs rather than being forced to write and rewrite in SSE vs AVX vs AVX512.

GPU SIMD is still SIMD. Just... better at it. I think AMD and Intel GPUs can keep up btw. But software advantage and long term benefits of rewriting into CUDA are heavily apparent.

Intel ISPC is a great project btw if you need high level code that targets SSE, AVX, AVX512 and even ARM NEON all with one codebase + auto compiling across all the architectures.

-------

Intels AVX512 is pretty good at a hardware level. But software methodology to interact with SIMD using GPU-like languages should be a priority.

Intrinsics are good for maximum performance but they are too hard for mainstream programmers.

I've been trying to figure out double-entry accounting for years now and still don't get it. Most explanations are along the lines of "Here is a simple explanation that you are guaranteed to understand: <proceeds to describe the procedure>" which lacks intuition on why this is useful. I suspect I would need to do a gig as an accountant and run into some error conditions that double-entry solves to really grok it.

Edit: no offense but sibling comment is an example :P
> A double-entry system is an accounting method that tracks money at both its source and destination.

There's an entire section on double-entry accounting in the article. The tl;dr is that if you take money out of an account, you need to place money in another account and vice versa. So, you have a table called "accounts receivable" which track money the company is owed. If you actually get paid, you remove money from "accounts receivable" and add money to the "cash" account, instead of just increasing the amount of cash you have.

It makes it much more difficult to lose track of money or have it stolen. In a single-entry system, I could receive money from a customer for services owed and just keep it for myself.
