As OP in the thread I linked to above says:

"GNOME and KDE have dbus APIs for some (but not all) of these things, and sway has
its own IPC, and other compositors probably have similar solutions. However, they
all use different mechanisms, which means that if you are writing say, screenshot
application you either have to write a different backend for every compositor, or
choose just one or two to support.

"Something all of these types of applications have in common is they need to be able to inspect and/or modify state from other applications or the compositor itself. Which wayland's security model normally prevents. I think a major gap in wayland, is having a way for an application to run with escalated permissions so it can have access to other applications. Unfortunately, I don't have any great ideas on what that would look like."

and then, later in the thread:

"for simple things using the compositor's screen shot tool is fine. But what if I don't like the screenshot tool for my compositor of choice? My experience with the GNOME screenshot tool (granted this was pre-wayland) was that it wasn't as good as, say, shutter, which has a lot of options, let's you easily crop and edit the screenshot from inside the screenshot tool etc. And then swaygrab doesn't even (currently) have an option to capture a rectangular region."

The entire thread linked to above is worth reading.

My own takeaway is that Wayland is just way too immature to compete with X for my power-user use cases.

It might be ok for users with simple needs.
Alexa, tell me a story.
Yes, you can.

Super-sets/classes - A calzone is still a sandwich since it implements the sandwich class (distinct bread on two sides of a food; which could be an additional slice of bread. E.G. Folding a slice of bread over half of a different slice of bread can be a sandwich. However making an S-curve does not cause a distinct middle layer (though if the edges are sliced off suddenly it is). ).
Then the charging cost would grow with profit and would no longer be considered an overhead cost.
William Finnegan is the best surf writer in the world probably and this is the best article on the surf ranch so far. As an ocean engineer it’s a pretty awesome spectacle and a wonder of a system.

But it totally glosses over the environmental impact and the hypocrisy of the entire thing. Surfers like Kelly Slater and Steph Gilmore are huge environmental advocates, yet the pool uses and absolutely obscene amount of electricity and water every day (the water usage is worse, using up to 300,000 gallons a day!!!) and everyone is being flown there on private jets.

It’s also just localism all over again, except now it’s just straight up money that keep you out of the club instead of a more abstract idea of being a local.
A US military budget of $660,000,000,000 means each person the USA is paying $2030 to fund the military (including children). At the Federal minimum wage, after taxes, that's 47 full working days to pay it off.

So that seems like a lot more to me.

IKOS: static analyzer for C/C++ based on the theory of Abstract Interpretation
The Nathan For You episode, "The Ancecdote", along with his subsequent appearances on Kimmel and Seth Myers, are required viewing on this subject.
I'm not sure if you understand my point then.

Decoupling capacitors perform a very specific, and very easy to see function. They have two pins: C+ and C-, and the capacitor tries to keep C+ and C- at roughly the same voltage level across time. In particular, Decoupling capacitors are fully passive (non-powered) devices.

Ex: If the C+ and C- pins are 3V (on the average), then a decoupling capacitor will help keep the voltage stay at 3V. The mechanical analogue would be a flywheel: it helps regulate the voltage and prevents voltage spikes.

-------------

It makes NO SENSE for a chip to disguise itself as a decoupling capacitor. There are lots of other chips that would be a better disguise. The fundamental premise and explanation is a joke to begin with.

Like, how are you supposed to hack into a computer at the electrical level using only two pins?

Mind you: an intelligent chip-level hacking device needs... at minimum... Power, and Ground. Bam, you already used up the two pins that a decoupling capacitor has... and you haven't even touched memory or other issues yet.

Clearly, the reporters have gotten something wrong. I can believe that the reporters maybe have a real story here, but they are wandering into technical details that they clearly do NOT understand. Clearly, a mistake or misunderstanding is somewhere in that explanation.

At very least, a chip-level attacker would need... I dunno, maybe 3 or 4 pins, at the minimum. I haven't thought about it much, but its instinctively obvious that the 2-pins of a decoupling capacitor is insufficient to do any kind of hacking.
I'd note that you give those same numbers to every yahoo you ever write a check to. The US checking system is terrifyingly insecure in that regard.
That's exactly what I try to understand now. I think that people who work with OLAP now should be able to use the system. But I also hope that some percentage of non database people would also be able to learn it. I don't think that the system is self explanatory, but watching a 10 minutes tutorial video could explain a lot.
> Broadening in the sense that I was in generation X for the first thirty-odd years of my life but then in recent years I've been lumped in with millennials.

That's...improbable. While there is a range of starting dates for the Millenials, I'm pretty sure it was within a few years of the term be coined in 1987 that the current range of common starting dates (roughly 1977-1982, with two most common, in descending order of frequency of use, being 1981 and 1977) was reached.

> You're even admitting to observing the same thing, are you not, by commenting on the dynamic nature of the starting range

No, acknowledging that there have long been differences between different sources as to the start (and even moreso historically, though less currently, end) dates is not the same as claiming that there is a trend of broadening.

If there is a trend, it's of narrowing. Pretty much no one now uses the 2004 end date the original users of the phrase stated in 2012, and while ending dates as late as 1999-2000 were once common (a very common definition was Millenials are those born in the 1980s or 1990s), most sources seem to now use an end date of 1996.
Open Banking and PSD2 are both complete failures. Who is in market with a decent product built on it? Nobody is. What people need to realise is that 1st party APIs are completely at odds with the incentives to maintain the status quo, i.e. they pose an intermediation threat and in the worst case relegate banks to mere utilities with zero margin. Furthermore a bank will never use it's own public API in it's own products, hence there being zero downside for exposing a shitty one. The only way this is will happen is if 3rd party companies in the market force it to.

Trade war is taking prisoners now.
CaaS-es (i.e. "things that present themselves as a Docker daemon or something like it") don't allow you to provision IaaS-level resources like VMs or disks, merely connect your containers to existing resources. When CaaS-es do allow you to provision stuff (like e.g. Hyper.sh does), they do it through a direct IaaS-level API that is separate from the functioning of the CaaS itself.

The major cloud providers' deployments of Kubernetes (and other server-side persistent-orchestrator systems, like the venerable CloudFormation) are deeply integrated into the cloud platform they're running on, such that the orchestrator itself can provision resources for a container to run on as part of deploying the container. This becomes important when elastically auto-scaling a container, because each container might need e.g. its own disk, and you can't create them ahead of time if you don't know how many you'll need.

This also means that, unlike a CaaS, k8s et al can manage the very cluster that k8s is running on, scaling it out to suit the size of the current/estimated workload.

Theoretically, you can bootstrap k8s on top of a vanilla CaaS—this is how minikube installs "using" your local Docker install, and this is how deployable PaaSes like Flynn and Deis work. But this approach doesn't supply k8s with the cloud-specific integration it needs in order to provision stuff. It might work if you're deploying against something with a standardized API like OpenStack; but none of the major cloud providers are compatible with such APIs, and so they need to build their own k8s plugins that call their IaaS-level APIs, to make k8s work on their clouds.

Or, to put all that another way: if there were standard IaaS-level APIs for k8s to hook into, Docker (and the CaaSes that either use or emulate it) would just hook into those APIs itself, and there would be no need for a higher orchestration layer.
Oh this is great. Thank you!
I think engineering disciplines broadly have comparable flexibility to software. Looking to electrical engineering, circuit design is mostly arbitrary once you're within certain physical bounds (such as controlling for noise in a high speed circuit). Regardless of discipline, there seems to be infinity^12 ways to skin their particular cats. Older disciplines just have more "turn clockwise" assumptions built into the mountain that makes their foundation.
I'm with you. But many people do not agree with us, and the last I heard, the ROI on each dollar spent at the IRS is higher than almost anywhere else in government. Hollowing out the IRS, and by extension the federal budget, has been a goal of one of our political parties for a very long time. It's sad to see them succeeding in a way that will cost our country dearly in the long term.

Huh? A calzone has the same bread on every side, not distinct bread on two sides. It's a single bread wrapped around a filling.

I see people say this a lot, but I'm using an Honor 10 and have spent a bit of time this week alternately MITM proxying connections from the phone and capturing DNS at the router.

I found very infrequent calls to HiCloud (Huawei's cloud service), almost always using a HiCloud enabled app where it would make perfect sense to communicate with the service.

On the other hand, I seen third party apps (none of which were pre installed) almost constantly firing requests to analytics and ad services. Microsoft Edge was the worst culprit - virtually every action I took (opening menus, tabs, etc) triggered a request to vortex.data.microsoft.com. Spotify calls Scorecard Research in the background often, even if it appears not to be running. Google calls the connectivity check service very frequently (even when network conditions aren't changing). The BBC iplayer apps (when ostensibly not running) refresh channel and config data frequently in the background.

I see a lot of rhetoric calling out Huawei phones for being spyware ridden trash, but honestly my own research this week suggests that the privacy controls on the phone work well and that third party apps are more of a privacy threat.

I think you're projecting some ill intent here on the part of NameCheap that may be unwarranted. It's quite possible that someone had purchased the domain but it failed for whatever reason or that the cached version of the whois database that NameCheap was using was outdated. I've tried to register a name from the .AZ (Azerbaijan) registry through multiple sites and was able to successfully place an order only to be refunded because the information in the registry was cached and almost 4 months out of date. Additionally, some registrars are not actually able to register certain TLDs and so they use a proxy service to facilitate the transaction. It's possible that NameCheap isn't even a .com.au registrar and was simply passing along a result from whoever they partner with to fulfill those requests.

I'm not disputing that what happened to you happened the way you describe it but I am disputing that NameCheap did anything nefarious in order for the situation to play out exactly as you've described.

I will never feel good (let alone pride) paying taxes until:

* I don't pay an exorbitant amount of my monthly income to health insurance, mostly due to government meddling in that industry.

* Billions of dollars of weapons aren't deployed in theaters I don't want to fund wars in.

* I see some sort of efficiency or really, non-corruption at the local and state level with the money I'm paying.

Until then, I will continue to feel exploited and that my money would be of better use in the private sector.
> In 2000, the millenial voting bloc would have been like 1% of the total US voting population

The presidential election that year was decided by less than 600 votes.

> Why didn't previous generations make the "decisive" vote?

Previous generations did make the decisive vote, in their favor. Millennials turn out to vote at the lowest rate of any age group, and so have missed their chances to be the deciders.

> Also, are millenials supposed to vote as a unit? I thought we were all individuals.

Millennials might be expected to vote their self-interest, in the aggregate. The linked article suggests the possibility that they could have done a better job at that.

How many startups needed to but were unable to raise capital in successive rounds? If the failure rate of successive raise attempts is low then I'd suspect that the driving factor would be the desire to raise capital.

Given that we've been in a record bull market for nearly a decade and there are signs of slowing, it may be hard to extrapolate these findings to the future. It would be interesting to try to model what things would have looked like on this data set at lower levels of investment. This type of information would be hugely valuable if there is an investment regime change occurring.

Off-topic, but it's very normal for private entities to own public streets in the US. At the time when these areas were platted and lots conveyed, the streets were dedicated to the public use, but were not deeded to the municipalities.

As a general rule, in most US states the adjoining landowners are assumed to have fee simple ownership and reversionary rights to the land underlying the streets. As a public policy matter, courts are loathe to create situations where tiny little bits of land are separately owned and can't be put to productive use. (the strips and gores doctrine.)

Yea but be careful, I checked out coffeescript years ago (technically a "transpile" to JS). I changed the language then built a new compiler with it.

However I apparently added some error in the language and the compiler was then broken, so I couldn't make my fix and re-transpile without checking out a clean version of the repo :D

> Who secured their own nest-egg and then actively worked to drive down wages and costs to improve investment returns?

I wasn't aware those who have held mutual funds had actively worked to drive down wages. How did they do that? Did they fly out, sit in shareholder meetings, and ask if there was a way they could stop paying employees so much?

In the 70s and 80s, was that something Americans did, besides taking vacations, and flying kites with their kids?

Is there a way for people who want to retire to do this now? How do I go about actively making decisions in publicly traded companies; I wasn't aware the average American with a 401(k) could do this.

> Saying the entire generation except those in power didn't do shit but live life is sort of downplaying the impact of choices every single person made.

Yeah, you're absolutely right. All people who eat meat, _all_ people, are responsible for climate change. People who eat meat. People who drive to work. People who work for companies that have a net positive carbon footprint. Because you have the right to choose where you work, so that's not an excuse! People who use phones.

Can you tell me what phone manufacturer has suppliers that have entirely net negative carbon footprints? Ones that don't contribute to abuse in any realm of their logistics cycle?

Please.

God forbid you contribute to the growth of any Russell 3000 component or company abroad who has a net positive carbon footprint (hint: we all do).

I'm curious where this self-righteous attitude comes from, and why it's so pervasive today. Has this always been the case? Are we just finding new ways of expressing it today?

And at what point does this self-righteousness end? Should I concern myself with the tens of thousands of factors that contribute to the evolution of society? Which ones should I concern myself with the most, surely there's an answer with this surety of response.

You're so confident about this. Thankfully, we have such confident generations around now who can tell us where we're all wrong. I can't wait for my children to tell me how shamefully I lived my life.
I have never been able to get a tearing-free experience with X11, and I've tried everything to fix it. Meanwhile Wayland is butter smooth out of the box on the same hardware. Security is another obvious advantage of Wayland.
Seconding your last point — almost every time I've had someone complain about generic Firefox or Chrome performance the problem went away as soon as they restarted it without extensions.

"All fires" or "all wildfires"?

Source?

What I find is that of wildfires, human sources of ignition are 80% of fires in northern California (the percentage is higher in Southern), but that the rate falls as low as 40% where humans are less active (Great Basin).

Northern California acreage burnt tends toward natural causes:
https://i0.wp.com/ecowest.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Sli...

The source concludes with this Takeaway:

The large number of lightning-caused fires out West should remind us that wildfires are inevitable in the region. Measures like campfire bans and public lands closures, which may succeed in cutting the number of human-caused fires, can only do so much.
