I might have watched too many episodes of Better Call Saul but this makes a lot of sense for me, the logic of attorney client privilege is that the lawyer would not allow you to use him for performing crime. This fact gives a clear separation, if you talk to a friend or a chatbot about defence in court, there is not guarantee that you also talked about actively performing crime.
I don't like it, from a pure brutalistic view point this obviously doesn't make any sense, it isn't practical and it doesn't make any effort to create a shape that is esthetically pleasing. The urban decay is even more outrageous, the whole appeal of urban decay is that it is "real", it's the thinking about all of people that went through the same structure throughout the years. Of cause it doesn't mean you can't make art about or featuring urban decay, but you have to be smart about it.
I think spreadsheets are a greater example of something that require the subtleties of an actual GUI. This is most obvious with the various plots which are hilariously imprecise. But the advantages of GUI are also present when just using the spreadsheet itself, it's ability to convey the skeuomorphic two dimensional space is much greater.
And it's not like the terminal can't be a greater data processing tool, but you have to use different paradigms.
Still from an esthetical perspective I love those simple TUI interfaces. They invoke a weird sense of comfort in me that I can't fully explain.
Why even responding then? And are we not allowed to talk about how doing our jobs makes us feel?
What the article misses is that generating a good UI is not easy, a good interface conveys so much more semantic information then just it's underlying API, and it does that without the user needing to concisely interpret the information.
And it's not just semantic information, presenting any kind of information in a way which enable the user to seamlessly interpret and use it is not an easy task.
AI, definitely lowered the bar for making some UI, but it doesn't help with the fundamentals challenges of making a UI, at least not more so then it helps with the fundamental challenges of any other job in our industry.
they agreed to not have stokepiles of enriched uranium, they didn't agree for no enrichment
The statement is complete speculation, there is no proof at all. And mistarting was a thing way way before ai.
there were not such news
As long as AI can't make the code optimized and secure by itself, and these day it still can't, those people won't be replaced. And when they do get replaced there is no guarantee that the more "entrepreneur" population won't get replaced as well.
Barak and bibi are political enemies (or at least we're when Barack was a relevant political figure) and besides that I haven't seen anything suggesting that his connection with bibi is more than the one meeting that was publicized.
usefull if you need to validate that the database runs properly on yours embedded platform, possibly with its custom io and sync primitives.
They find them useful as a performance optimization, not as a design tool. This optimization is not relevant to Python code because it relies on the optimization passes the compiler makes.
It might be slightly off topic but I have a hard time understanding the layout of the website on mobile, it's not clear what is clickable and what's not.
Comelete rewrite are not always bad, they are _just_ very costly. You just need to do cost benefit analsys and compare it with the cost and benefit of other actions.
I believe that the slowness is a matter of the amount nodes in the tor network, not something that can be fixed solely by code changes.
No one is claiming the new version is faster, only that it is safer.
Nothing is "really anonymouse", it's all a game of information sharing and hiding. I think I now understand the difference in our definitions, for you anonymouse means that at the protocol level no one can link the transaction to "you" (defined by a set of identifiers). My defenition is just "not publicly linked to your real world identity", so for example, sending a message under a pseudu name in a public forum would be anonymous under my defenition but not anonymouse under yours. What do you think?
In practice they (allegedly) took anonymouse transaction and linked it to real world identity. Call it what you want.
what are you talking about about? they have internet and the they had it 99% of the time during the war.
spy on law enforcement that spy on your government, seem like a fair game
This was maybe a problem years ago, but I don't think its a pro lem these days. I see many more cases of the opposite problem, interfaces that are meant of technical users but are designed using modern mobile centric paradigms, over emphasizing negative space and progressive disclosure.
this is also a problem for tools designed for non-technical users for complex tasks that are performed frequently. your power users needs a powerful interface even if they are less technical.
I was wrong to word myself the way I did, but my comment is simple not shallow, what I'm trying to say is that the amount of work done is not worth the architectural advantages of Wayland. It's a simple argument that people in the replies didn't fail to understand, but did fail to have a good response too. My real violation of the guidelines is this in my opinion: "Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes."
The threats models I have seen are easy enough to deal with inside the X ecosystem. And investing all your resources into a new system that is not backward compatible is something no serious security person would do as it leaves your existing users vulnerable
nushell front page is exactly what I was referring to. Compare the legibility of the ls command in the front page to a regular ls command, it's insane how much more cluttered the nushell version is.
You got it backwards, once you have users, they are your "greatness", if you go to the path of self gratification, are are betraying your users. Of course some times sacrifices have to be made, but you have to understand the graveness of them. I don't like the current state of Windows, but Microsoft won't ever break such a huge portion of applications that run of Windows just for the sake of some refactoring.
You have to understand that I don't really care about the internals of my DE. The same of true for 95% of Linux users and 99.999% of general computer users, so when I see a huge amount of effort goes into basically seemingly pointless refactoring, instead of tackling issues that are actually important to users, it is disappointing to me. I just installed KDE Manjaro and guess what? It stills uses X, and no one has an answer to what benefit Wayland has for me.

every time I see the output of nushell I get so disappointed, they got the formatting so wrong, all the extra delimiters makes it hard to actually read the data. powershell got it right, using alignment. if you look at virtually all shell programs until the last few years you are going to see a similar, alignment based output. only recently, with the rise of the abuse of ligature, we started seeing this kind of incomprehensible blobs surrounding our text.
I think the solution might be to only give awards to vulnerabilities with a working poc.
reminds me of a tweet https://x.com/nearcyan/status/1937640182863548827
I don't think I can do better, I just feel betrayed,
