Had never heard of this before, here's the blurb from the sidebar of the subreddit:

> Kdenlive is an intuitive and powerful multi-track video editor, including most recent video technologies. Our software is completely free, as defined by the GNU foundation. Using Kdenlive is investing in a community driven project, which aims to establish relationships between people in order to built the best video tools.

How about high-density magnetic tape cartridges? They're pretty popular in enterprise for offline storage

What really bothers me here is that the lady wasn't even involved in a lawsuit against Radio City Music Hall, it just happens to be the case that they're connected through some billion dollar conglomerate to the restaurant that she's involved in litigation with.

Pissing off a mom and pop store and getting banned from that one location is one thing, but treading on the toe of an enormous corporation and being met with this just doesn't sit right with me.

Basically any JetBrains IDE.

They always work with minimal configuration for me, and just generally make all of the tedious stuff take less time. Being able to do everything I need to do (building, running tests, debugging, interfacing with a db, HTTP requests, refactoring, static analysis, VCS tasks) in one place just feels good to me. Also, I have yet to see another IDE with something like IntelliJ's Structural Search and Replace.

I use emacs on the command line for brief edits, but I've never managed to find an IDE-esque setup for it that worked well (I've struggled just to have it indent Python the way I want it to).

I got that too. And on desktop it just never loads, pretty strange.

Initial impression: why do the first two blocks of text say almost exactly the same thing?

> nothing much has changed fundamentally over a year.

If the CEO of a company leaving doesn't count as a fundamental change, then I don't know what does.

This is one of the many reasons why I've found Kotlin so refreshing after five years of writing enterprise Java

Seems to have been killed, there's just question marks everywhere there should be a dynamic value, and I can't interact with anything (Chrome for Android).

It's been awhile since I've had a Diff EQ class, but isn't the harmonic motion one an ODE?

I wonder if just "X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*" would be enough to do it

> According to The History of LISP, the same was true for LISP 1.0. Native integer support was added later as a performance optimization.

I feel like this just distills the ethos of LISP so perfectly, I'm gonna use this to explain it to people now.

I think this should say [2019]

It feels a bit pedantic to say that about a post from a week ago, but the whole point of the article was that they had until January 1st to comply, which has now passed. When I first saw the article title, I assumed it would be an article about how companies were out of compliance already since the date had passed, but it's not.

This is just a weird article.

> But do you know what data I have access to when you come on my website ? Well only your IP and some information about your computer and browser. That’s all.

It's pretty well known by now that that's often more than enough to identify a specific user. "That's all" really undersells it.

> It’s true I can create an ID and save it on your browser (I can do much more but we will stay focus). Your browser, not your computer.

That's effectively the same thing -- the vast vast majority of users don't use more than one browser per device, and I'd be willing to be that the few who do use more than one mostly use them for different websites.

> So the very first thing you need to understand about data privacy is that YOU protect your own data by not giving it away without thinking.

And here it is. This article is basically just victim blaming. "You didn't want this website to identify you based on the unique combination of user agent, viewport, and feature detection? Then you shouldn't have visited this website with that user agent, screen size, and set of features enabled in your browser."

I believe this has to do largely with Japanese game development culture. Japanese developers in general are known for rarely, if ever, updating their games. For example, the game Nier: Automata released with game-breaking bugs, and never got a single patch. Nintendo also doesn't patch their games often, but they have a stronger commitment to releasing things in a good state in the first place. Shigeru Miyamoto famously said, "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."

The name of that ship gives me the impression that Elon (or someone in SpaceX) wanted to name it RTFM but had to compromise.

I believe that they're actually responding. Gabe Newell (the CEO of Valve) is worth billions[1], and has been known to respond to emails personally[2].

I generally agree with your appraisal here, but it is worth it to note that although those sorts of comments are usually pushed to the bottom of the discussion, they are almost always there on every thread where these sorts of issues are raised. I don't think it's a stretch to assume that a significant portion of the tech worlds holds those sorts of beliefs; there are probably even more people who would post things like that, but don't because they know they'll just get downvoted.

Reminds me of the transparent bitcoin ponzi scheme that was pretty popular for awhile before being shut down.

If you sign up for the local guides program, there are some various minor benefits you get in return.

But besides that, I think the "payment" you get in return is the quality of Google Maps itself. Features like being able to tell when a restaurant is most busy can't realistically exist without automatically collecting data about users who are visiting it throughout the day.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I find data collection of that sort -- where the data is directly being used to improve the product -- acceptable. What I find much more unacceptable is tracking for the purpose of showing ads. Although companies try to say they're "improving the experience" by showing targeted ads, I'd rather not constantly be bombarded with things that are engineered to extract as much of my attention as possible. (yes, I realize location tracking is used to target advertisement, which is why I keep location services enabled and block ads)

Disclaimer: I work for Google (but not on Maps)

Come to think of it, I believe I've heard of multiple "making the device render this text causes a crash" bugs for Apple devices, but never on any other platforms. Is this type of bug just that much more common on Apple devices, or are there plenty of other cases out there that I just don't know about?

Now I'm just confused. I thought that C-k stood for kill, and C-y stood for yank. So you kill the text, which... puts it into the dead buffer? And then yank it from the dead buffer? I've never really understood this.

When you edit one coefficient of a polynomial, you change its behavior everywhere. When you change one value in a lookup table, you're only changing the value for one point in time.

Parent comment is correct. From footnote #2 from here: https://store.google.com/us/product/pixel_2

> Free, unlimited original-quality storage for photos and videos taken with Pixel through the end of 2020, and free, unlimited high-quality storage for photos taken with Pixel afterwards.

I think this is an unhelpful suggestion. It seems to me that you're advocating that the developers take an approach which will give them a smaller install base in favor of engineering focus on privacy and security. But communicating privately and securely with someone is impossible if they aren't also using the app.

This is the same problem with PGP/GPG -- it may be incredibly secure, but if no one uses it, it doesn't matter.

Obtusely refusing to use a good system which has broad appeal is working contrary to your own goals.

At least we use credit cards at all. I was surprised to learn recently that buying things in Japan in still a largely cash-based experience. It's lead to some weird consequences, like a ridiculously high number of vending machines per capita (1 for every 23 people).

One possible explanation for this is that people are supposedly spending time doing certain things, but in reality are doing different for things. For example, my mom used to talk about how people at her work were allowed smoke breaks, but no equivalent breaks were allotted to non-smokers, so people would pretend to smoke just to take a few minutes off.

Tell that to people who are denied loans thanks to credit reporting agencies.
