Cloning Adobe products or pirating them is the morally correct choice.

The internet is indeed very good at squandering young people’s passion and energy, directing them towards endless debates about the right sub‑sub‑ideology in blogs and subreddits with 1,000 subscribers, rather than towards actually changing people’s lives.

A free app in the Play Market will almost always contain malware, simply because developers try to return money.

I’m not even talking about the huge number of fake and malicious apps in it.

I tried it in different browsers. WebRTC must always be disabled. It’s better to try to work without JS in the browser.

Also, the “forget” button worked for one reboot, and then it indicated again that I had visited this page the correct number of times.

It's likely that articles like these, as well as those about "miracle weapons" or other "game-changers", are only needed to generate paid clicks.

I was reminded of the universe of Doctor Who. It's an incredibly complex technology, but it often behaves either unpredictably, like AI agents, or like code written by a vibe-coder without understanding the architecture or boundary conditions. And programmers are more like architects of consciousness, building machines rather than writing code.

Similarly, when the Doctor hacks a PC, he doesn't write code but rather communicates with the computer, using diplomacy to crack the agent.

It is likely that we will come to a world where software solutions are "grown" by iterations of agent work, and no one will know exactly how it works.

I think this will happen. A quick, low-quality solution is more common than a solution created by a master craftsman.

In addition to low-quality furniture, bad knives, electric kettles that burn out after a week, and poorly cut clothes that don't fit, have unpleasant fabric, and fall apart, there will also be a disposable, rotting code.

Master programmers will remain, just as master craftsmen have remained. They may even continue to earn well. However, there will be fewer of them, and the requirements for their skills, knowledge, and reputation will increase.

I don't know if the author also posts on HN, but you can say thank you to TS, otherwise I wouldn't have seen this post)

Math is difficult for children because for them it's learning a lot of unrelated rules in their head that don't even have a reflection for them in their everyday experience. And these textbooks are trying to create this connection.

Thank you for your work, I am always happy when good books are translated.

SponsorBlock already does this.

The fact that the editor is proprietary does not mean that the promised stability will be present.

However, in open source, you can ensure this stability (and also share the solution with others).

It does not have non-destructive editing layers, color correction layers, indexed palette, posterization, as in Gimp or Krita,

it does not have the ability to draw with higher resolution brushes for subsequent resolution reduction, etc.;

it does not have shader graphs, as in Blender, Pixel Composer, PixelOver;

it is difficult to draw in an indexed palette, unlike PixiEditor,

you can't take 3D renderers and transform them into pixel art, like in PixelOver or Blender,

and there's no bone animation for 2D, like in Spine.

Aseprite is a good editor if you like to paint pixel by pixel every frame without using the advancements and workflows that other style designers and artists use, but calling it the best would be an exaggeration.

If a student knows how to communicate, they can solve this problem: warn the teacher, take a sick leave if they feel they are not ready, and other options.

If they did not do this, they failed the exam on communication with other people.

In addition, we are not always able to make decisions in ideal conditions. We need to learn how to solve problems under pressure, in emotional turmoil, and when we are not feeling well.

Perhaps students should learn this information throughout the semester instead of on the last night or morning before exams?

If your goal is for them to know the entire material, then it makes sense to test their knowledge of the entire course in one exam, which also allows them to study at their own pace and order. If someone is unable to pass the exam or retain all the information, then consider whether you need such professionals.
