connorelsea··on DaVinci Resolve – Photo
I've been really pleased with Luminar Neo for photo editing and have been using it alongside Lightroom. Their marketing unfortunately makes it seem like an unserious and gimmicky tool for non-professionals, just due to extreme AI focus and SaaS-ificiation of their website, but it's actually really good software. The core editing tools are on par with Lightroom and have very friendly UX, and some (not all) of the near-gimmick AI features are actually impressive and forward-thinking.

connorelsea··on Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn as he saw himself
That is the only source I could find as well but I also found others saying it was false and that Putin was lying and misguiding
connorelsea··on Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn as he saw himself
Lmao then why not just say you don't like criminals, murderers, and Marxists. The focus on their Jewishness is suspect at the very least...
connorelsea··on Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn as he saw himself
I'm pretty sure this isn't true but I'm curious, got a source? Afaik they were somewhat overrepresented but never a majority and only about 5% of party members were Jewish although percentages in leadership were slightly higher at around 15%

This is behind a paywall for me, but from what I saw, that seems like it might be for the best...

connorelsea··on Show HN: An Almost Ideal React Image Component
You'd still have blank spaces where large images are as they're loading on a slow connection
connorelsea··on Show HN: An Almost Ideal React Image Component
images and everything else bc client-side rendering... not sure how this is an argument for not lazy-loading images though
connorelsea··on Show HN: An Almost Ideal React Image Component
I much prefer a pixelated or blurry preview image first and then the real image instead of waiting 20 years for images to load staring at a blank page. i notice the perceived speed difference on websites that do this and those that don't. Medium does it well and this react component image approach is similar. And once it is loaded, it is an <img />
connorelsea··on Mozilla to remove “meritocracy” from governance docs because it's “problematic”
your arguments are hypberolic in some cases, as changing or clarifying a word or sentence even is not "remake(ing) a software project". and I think the word meritocracy is vague, a overarching word used to describe many things to many people, mozilla should instead simply be more clear about what that means. what is the "playing field", that itself is a metaphor for sports and physical ability I guess. How will the ability of those chosen for participation under this meritocracy be judged
connorelsea··on Mozilla to remove “meritocracy” from governance docs because it's “problematic”
good choice. great series
connorelsea··on Mozilla to remove “meritocracy” from governance docs because it's “problematic”
this is an extreme oversimplification. those aren't mutually exclusive and diversity isn't just "quotas". read a book
connorelsea··on Mozilla to remove “meritocracy” from governance docs because it's “problematic”
that is quite the stretch. thinking a word should be updated or clarified does not make me a "conspiracy theorist". What am I conspiring against? people fighting so hard against a simple change to make the sentence more inclusive are just fighting to keep their antiquated system of bias in place
connorelsea··on Mozilla to remove “meritocracy” from governance docs because it's “problematic”
you sound like a conspiracy theorist. it is changing an inappropriate word, not shifting control over the entire company Mozilla. i doubt you care about diversity or improving the quality of the open source project
connorelsea··on Mozilla to remove “meritocracy” from governance docs because it's “problematic”
same thing in the context of my sentence. developers

Words are important. Devs will argue over a correct variable name for hours but think names in other places have no meaning

connorelsea··on Another flaw in Signal desktop app leaks chats in plaintext
Googled it for you. From their github repo... "To date the OpenPGP.js code base has undergone two complete security audits from Cure53. The first audit's report has been published here." https://github.com/openpgpjs/openpgpjs
connorelsea··on Another flaw in Signal desktop app leaks chats in plaintext
Implying in any way that all JS programs are insecure and all other languages are secure is ridiculous and probably harmful, leading people to insecure choices in other languages. I've seen plenty of security vulnerabilities in strongly typed languages in my days as a software dev
connorelsea··on Another flaw in Signal desktop app leaks chats in plaintext
there is plenty of secure software written in javascript. poor engineering can occur in any language

Simply build a secure and private platform, don't be reckless with user data. Health startups already deal with this through HIPPA and it isn't really a big deal, just common sense practices for security and privacy
