No it could not have done it.

Gimp was ever only an enthusiast developer-driven, and 1-2 engineers that it actively had working on it could not have pulled it off.

It has nothing to do with the ideology, just sheer complexity of the effort: GNOME HIG in the 2.0 times was very much focused on good, consistent UI that caters to the users (mostly driven by Sun Microsystems contributions).

But bringing individual examples of bad UI (I can do so for MacOS, the poster child of usability too) does not mean it's like that on purpose — it's mostly just that, bad instances.

A program is usable based on the whole experience with it, and the results one can achieve. Gimp is not perfect (far from it, really), but for a set of usecases, it is perfectly adequate.

The success or lack of it is not only driven by usability: there are perfectly good tools that simply bit the dust for who knows what reason.
Too late to edit, but probability and statistics do emphatically rely on past-certainty. The entire concept of using the past to predict the future, however, is just a convenience with no reasonable basis. Please appropriately hedge your comments as to not imply otherwise or be appropriately mocked in response.

This is precisely why I don't trust people who aver without receipts to show. Open the schools, goddammit!

Until I see some reasonable evidence that smaller process size cannot exist, i just see lazy people getting angry that someone disagrees with them. All of this "burden of proof" bullshit, aping like you're in some kind of formal debate rather than a conversation with a stranger, just screams "emotional asshole who can't deal with someone disagreeing with them and never learned how to engage in basic conflict resolution when they had the ability to engage in good faith and chose not to".

Y'all deserve all the mockery society can afford. I'm at least honest in that I see conflict is what we need more than ever if only to put people like you in your place.
and while you're at it, please alias --help to -h :-)
The morally lazy racist explanation is helped by the famous logical fallacy that if most criminals are of foreign origin, it must be because most foreigners are criminals.
I agree; in my experience, pretty much everything is ETL. We take data from one thing, change it a bit, and put it somewhere else. Sometimes, as a treat, we take data from two things, put them together, and then put that somewhere else.

Frontend, backend, databases, services, reports, whatever - ETL.

In that context, the types and transformations between types are the most important feature. (Everything is actually Category Theory)
I wonder how much crime is done by people trying to get another hit of alcohol or cigarettes. They are pretty addictive, but I haven’t heard of this becoming a problem with legal drugs for whatever reason.
Perhaps this one: https://github.com/mit-pdos/xv6-riscv ?

The old xv6 is x86-based and it's not officialy maintained anymore.

I usually just have mine in the Safari downloads folder. Then use Files to open them.

If you’re on Linux, using iCloud to add files there should be easy enough as well. Then I just added them as I needed them. I’m on a Mac though so it’s a bit easier.

Sounds like you found a solution though.

I support it in general because regardless of the origin of the business, if it has significant power to control the market, this power has to be removed. However, what I am concerned with more, and this is not being discussed at all in the mainstream, is forcing the companies to offer adequate support. If one of these megaplatforms have a bug that prevents a person from using them, there is no sane way to contact a live human for support and there is no requirement for them to address that bug in a timely manner. So, on one hand, their aim is to get the whole world onto their platform in their specific market segment, but on the other hand, they are not kept liable when people get deplatformed.
Did you consider using cap_std?

https://github.com/bytecodealliance/cap-std

Or if it's deficient in some way, contribute to it perhaps

The idea behind cap-std is being a stdlib for wasm runtimes in the backend. Wasm is supposed to give us sandboxing for free. It would suck to squander that by not having granular capabilities.
Reading all this from Europe sounds unbelievable. I barely know anyone who ever goes to church. And certainly not anyone under 50. Religion here is just history. Some people from older generations where great-grandfathers used to be Catholic or Protestant, retain some cultural quirks typical to religions, but in 3-4 generations of atheism that passed where people did not consider historical faith of their parents as a factor in choosing a life partner, all of the differences have erased through mixing and many don't even know which faith any of their relatives belonged to, or even know about any relatives so distant in history that they were religious... Religion sir, it's done.

Church still exists but it exists more or less like a large hedge fund with good governance with asset structure centered on real estate (and banking), that also cut itself nice backdoor tax deals. I don't even think any of their bosses are religious anymore. It's just business.

It's a travesty this is allowed. I can hide all data encrypted on the internet and remember a simple passphrase to download it. Searching a phone is nothing more than an opportunistic invasion of privacy without cause.

I'd blow my phone away prior to crossing shady borders, and recover access by memorizing my password safe password and writing several backup 2fa codes.

This is great, thank you! This was on my wishlist for a few years:

https://www.reddit.com/r/crypto/comments/7imejm/monthly_cryp...

I've tried to take a stab at this problem, but was not sure if it worked at all:

https://gist.github.com/dchest/50d52015939a5772497815dcd33a7...

It's a modified BuzHash with the following changes:

- Substitution table is pseudorandomly permuted (NB: like Borg).

- Initial 32-bit state is derived from key.

- Window size slightly varies depending on key (by ~1/4).

- Digest is scrambled with a 32-bit block cipher.

I also proposed adding (unspecified) padding before encrypting chunks to further complicate discovering their plaintext lengths. Glad to see I was on the right track :)
First of all, I'm talking about searing on a flat top. Which doesn't char. And it does keep in the moisture. Especially if you've got fat on the side of the meat. But the best reason to do this is not to hold in the water, but to get a consistently even temperature in the final steak.

It is not a fast process. The steak needs to be rested at room temperature for an hour. Then seared 2 minutes each side, maximum heat, seasoning before you turn it down. Taken off the flat top or cast iron pan, which you deglaze, and pour over the steak. Rested another 30 minutes. Return to a cast iron pan and put in the oven at 450F for 8 minutes for a 1" steak rare, plus 2-3 minutes to medium rare. (11 minutes for a 1" ribeye to MR).

What happens is that the outside is seasoned brown, well cooked and most of the juice stays in, but the interior fat melts down and you end up cutting through a piece of meat that is exactly the same color and temperature from the inside to the very edge of the outside.

If you do want to cook on a grill, obviously don't grease-stain it by flipping it a lot or trying to sear it there. Put your cast iron pan on the grill, sear it in that, and then finish it on the grates for flavor and char.
And looking at https://www.blender.org/about/history/, I think Blender mostly owns its success to exactly the marketing approach and not any of the technical properties (its parent companies actually died twice before it was made free software and a base for community competitions).

Which is exactly how I remember it as an outsider (I wasn't interested in 3D at the time).
Wow, I browse with showdead and I see it ...

I can understand having criticisms of HN and pg, and I understand being harshly critical when you find a serious security problem, but surely there's a better way to express both of these.
How do sync engines address issues where we need something to be more dynamic? Currently I'm building a language learning app and we need to display your "learning path" - what lessons you have finished and what are your next lessons. The next lessons aren't fixed/same for everyone. It will change depending on how the score of completed lessons. Is any query language dynamic enough to support use cases like this? Or is it expected to recalculate the next lessons whenever the user completes a lesson and write it out to a table which can then be queried easily?
Popular dictatorships—as most tend to be, at the beginning—are still dictatorships.

What makes a dictator is a ruler unconstrained in practice by law.
Seems like a lot of extra work in cases where we change the scoring mechanism, we will then have to invalidate the existing entries, recalculate and write it out again compared to just having an endpoint that will take all previous lessons and generate the next lessons on demand.

The developer response indicates that they were flipping security-sensitive configs based on vibes alone.

While the fix was merged promptly in this instance, they don't appear to have undertaken any kind of systematic reform.
they for sure lose money on some months for some customers, but I expect globally most of subscriptions (including mine that I recently cancelled) would be much better of to migrate to API

everyone that o know that have/had subscription didn't used it very extensively, and that is how it's still profitable in general

I suspect that it's the same for copilot, especially the business variant, while they definitely lose money on my account, believe that when looking on our whole company subscription I wouldn't be surprised that it's even 30% of what we pay
Yet announced on Twitter. That must be the relevant platform.

Many times the lawyers involved have private practices or work at a firm that handles other, non-patent-trolling, cases. If word gets out that the firm's members are moonlighting as patent troll facilitators, it could impact their business.

When Zen browser was posted here first I saw that the people behind it mostly seemed to be uni students in their early 20s so on their side I'd cut them some slack for inexperience but on the other hand it's why I'd never recommend anyone to run a browser fork like this, you might as well start buying birth control off Craigslist.

Lots of people recommending "forks of forks of forks" browsers and also linux distros these days largely maintained like this, but from a security standpoint it's kind of crazy.
OMG everyone is so gushing over this. I have to see this! How have i never seen this? where can I see it?

This is not true. Not all neighborhoods in the city (Basically harlem and up) have wealthy residents, and street parking is free. Anyone who lives in New York knows this.
I see this understanding that sql databases should do xyz by default as corporate dogmatism, kind of. A database is only as useful as it's used! I realize you haven't argued for this, but if we're collectively claiming postgres can handle 100% of the persistent database needs of an arbitrary app (a very common claim these days), we also need to accept that people will "abuse" sql databases to prioritize accessibility over coherency, which was always a major draw of NoSQL engines. I suspect most consumer apps can scale with some form of inconsistency just fine, even if this creates a PR rats-nest, but consumers are far more forgiving of incompetency than greediness. This is a very much an "understand your market" sort of decision to make.

So I see what you're saying, but I'd also like more async bindings that lean into customizing the behavior at query- or execution-time. You can build them today but you have to work around whatever sql-binding framework you use and it will still likely result in leaky abstractions.
I believe what happened is, at some point in the past we used the soft-c (I guess this is when all the sports teams were named). But more recently it was switched to hard-c, to reflect the Greek origin of the word.
It's always been this way. The "rags-to-riches" stories are fabrications to keep the average worker thinking they have a chance. You have a better chance of winning the lottery, which coincidentally, is another psyop to keep people believing that they have a chance.

Sounds like they canoed across the narrow Straight of Gibralter with a burned out log canoe (or they put a suggestive image of it in there anyway). Hundreds of people have swum across the Straight of Gibralter, I don't think this is showing emergence of civilization necessarily if it was swimming or canoeing.
I've never seen an LLM use case where it's output is posted to the internet, aside from users posting interesting output. Do you have an example of this?
Without knowing much about the type of OS this book is, I imagine that there a lot of architectural aspects of x86 are considered "standard" to many of the x86 OSes out there. I hear a lot about code density in the x86, MIPS, and SH-2, compared to a lightweight RISC processor. Or, the book glazes over some of the more universal aspects of OSes, to address specific features of x86.

It matters to me too. However, it still doesn’t negate the fact that we are hostile.

There is always good news and bad news in the world. Our judicial branch is (so far) working to reverse illegal moves by the executive branch. People are protesting across the US and across the world. Our allies are currently putting pressure on us that is reversible.

The bad news is that our country is losing trust every day. We voted this person into office twice. We are deporting people for voiced opposition to the regime. There are now travel warnings to the US from multiple countries. Ironically, it’s now harder to leave the US. MAGA is trying to spread into other countries given the foothold it has gained here.

There isn’t a lot of comfort to give when the guy who holds the nations nuclear codes is questionably coherent and actively hostile.
Electric carving knives were all the rage in the 90s and they genuinely cut through squishy things (meat, soft breads, tomatoes) far more cleanly than manual knives but the improvement wasn't worth a seperate tool so they've mostly disappeared from the market, despite the proliferation of a billion other special purpose tools.

That’s just one example that came to mind; it generated a very basic first game but kept introducing bugs or failing while trying to add things like the river etc. Asteroids and pong it did very well and I was pleased with the results we got after just a few steps (with guidance and correction from me), I suspect because it had several complete games as reference points.

As other examples I asked it for note sequences from a famous piece and it cheerfully generated gibberish, and the more subtly wrong sequences when asked to correct. Generating a csv of basic data it should know was unusable as half the data was wrong and it has no sense of whether things are correct and logical etc etc. There is no thinking going on here, only generation of probable text.

I have used GAI at work a few times too but it needed so much hand holding it felt like a waste of time.
sorry for any possible offence of my following words, because my english is so poor that i may not able to pick more polite and euphemistic words

You are too arrogant. Your ignorance limits your understanding of yourself, and I have no way to help you realize that. If there were any way, as others mentioned before, it would be to come to China and talk with the locals

> If the reality of interacting with these people contradicts Chinese propaganda like this article

here's the problem, you and most of others live in the bubble, in that bubble, information is filtered and selected

that article, is originally a Chinese article for Chinese audience, it was not writen for americans like you at the first time, there're tons of articles in China, written by chinese reasearchers, with various opinions, it just one of the few were translated by the site and submited here by me

you refuse to read or understand it before you label it as 'propaganda'

and, not suprisely, it was flagged, for reason of being ccp propaganda i guess

for information you are willing to accept, it is the reality of interacting, for any information you dont like(or dont fit the current narratives), you call it china propaganda

whatever you see yourself, but the reality is, most hn users know 0 truth abt China, all information you got is from MSM, (or alternative media, they say same narratives in most time)

> HN are among some of the most likely people in the US to have direct personal experience with Chinese nationals

a simple persperctive, i'm the one with Chinese national literally

does the direct personal experience with me educate you anything?

or your first idea is 'yet another ccp agent'

> the best of Chinese nationals as they both have the motivation and intelligence to learn English and operate outside of the country.

sign… you can't realize it at all, can you?
I'm just pointing out you can get the same food with a quarter (at most) of the prep time and twice the flipping if you approach it experimentally at the same heat. Very much including basting. If you think steakhouses let steaks sit out before cooking them you're nuts—they might get nuked for five seconds for approximately the same effect. Letting them sit is just a convenience while prepping the rest of dinner.

Also, tenderizing the meat is about 10x as effective as letting it rest at room temperature. Not only does it warm the meat much faster, it reduces cook time, draws moisture out, and improves the crust. A minute of beating the shit out of the steak can trivially improve on an hour of sitting out (as if we have the time most days!). The grid-slice pattern is also very effective, even if it looks trashy. It's trashy because it's cheap and it works so well any cheap steakhouse will do it to obscure the shitty produce. Just make sure to do the tenderizing before you apply the salt.

Of course if you enjoy cooking, don't let my advice ruin it. Food is a lot more enjoyable if you feel satisfied eating it. Not everyone needs to optimize for cook-time.
Probably just step one of a multi step journey toward European wide mandatory backdoor.
Hah. Never heard of that, but I can see how it would be a total love-fest for users.

Most small site owners, such as remain these days - restuarants, small companies selling furniture, lawyers, whatever - they already have their third party sales platforms. They just want to be able to edit their own web content from time to time, without any learning curve.

I never tried to commercialize my CMS, it wouldn't even make sense to do so, since it's geared toward people who want to pay $200/year for hosting once their site is up and running. (I did charge them well for building, though). But the whole thing is maybe literally 5000 lines of PHP code and a few hundred lines of Javascript and CSS. It's just structured very cleverly to read/write pages in mysql, and it has a few bells and whistles like drag/drop photo uploading in place. Barely competent PHP coders could (and have) adapted it to their own needs after I left clients. One really doesn't need the bloated structure of WP to do this stuff, just a very skeletal frame.

A couple remaining examples of my CMS in action:

Code that just works right now never scales.
I started with turn-based RPGs, Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny in my case (the original German version). I was a teen playing shooters when the RTwP craze happened and never really got into those, luckily there’s actually a pretty wide selection of TB CRPGs, nowadays. My absolute favorites are Owlcat’s Pathfinder games, BG3 is obviously the huge and popular one, Owlcat’s Rogue Trader for the WH40k crowds, but there are also tons of smaller niche games. I recently played "Skald: Against the Black Priory" [0] a pixel graphic retro-style RPG, and currently playing "Space Wreck" [1], a fallout inspired CRPG heavy on replayability, but there are many, many more.
