There are screenshots of the issue in the report. They've also said that there is a pattern of Nouveau instability that you don't see in proprietary drivers. Its all in the bug report.
A great example of the power vacuum however is non-competes and how prevalent they are in our industry. It's not just one person negotiating with another, it's one person negotiating with a company and an entire industry. An entire system designed to swing the balance in the favor of the company.

With my work experience the balance shifted a bit to me, giving me options to find companies without non-competes. When I first got started however, I didn't have an option to negotiate nor did I have the financial backing to challenge a non-compete if it ever became an issue. Ultimately this is where unions should come into play, but I highly doubt we'll ever see the tech industry unionize.
I would love to pay money (or do some sort of proof-of-work hashing) rather than solve Google's infuriating, privacy-hostile CAPTCHAs. I rather suspect that Google, as an advertising and consumer-surveillance firm, gets rather a lot of information out of the system.

I understand what you're getting at here, but it's also possible that this wasn't a directly pursued feature, and may have just naturally fallen out trivially from their display system's architecture & implementation as a by-product. If so, then the cost would be to exclude the capability explicitly.
That may all be true but I'm really unsure what that has to do with user-friendliness in the way described. The argument was an attempt to rebut my claim that Chrome is trying to do the best job possible of rendering pages isn't true because Chrome isn't user-friendly. If their goal is to spy on users and have a dumbed-down UI, isn't it all the more important that pages successfully render, so that the sheeple keep using it?
Saying the glowing vision is exaggerated or fabulated just makes you look like a grouch and a jerk.

Yep. Unfortunately, the people who want to treat stadiums as public works projects have 2000+ years of history on their side going back to classical Rome and Athens. I've concluded that it's not a battle worth fighting, if only because my lack of appreciation of team sports makes me a bad judge of how important they are to society.

Interesting, I went out and looked more into it and it seems like rpmsg from openamp is the "blessed" way of doing communication between the cores, and they seem to share the memory space with the memory controller sitting on the same bus.

As someone who has used IE (especially 5-9) far too many times because I had to, Chrome could impale my palms with stakes and I'd still probably call it more user friendly.
No, Chromium is free in the GNU sense, which is what I meant. You don't whine at open source providers to support features you want, it's bad form. Go fix it yourself, or use hardware that doesn't require this kind of hacky reverse engineering.

That's a curious situation. I run my 4k displays over DisplayPort with an RX 580 on Ubuntu 18.04. However, I haven't gone out of my way to obtain drivers from AMD. I'm just using the drivers that ship with the kernel. It might be worth trying a vanilla installation of Ubuntu to see if you can get your set up working.
Makes sense. Just don't use race, gender, or ethnicity as a feature in the model and those factors _per_se_ won't be a consideration. Their correlates might still be a consideration, however, so it's not an entirely "fair" system, in the social-justice sense. Bias generated in meatspace will still affect it indirectly.
Not even sure it's correct to say elected officials are being played. Quite often they're sitting on the same side of the negotiating table as the team owner without no one there to represent the public. In most cases with a few notable exceptions, the elected officials are as rah-rah for a new stadium as the team owner. Which is why in so many jurisdictions they no longer allow the public to vote on stadium funding. With the elected officials on board, why would the team owners ever want the public to have a voice?
"The point is, we need to build systems that enables geniuses to be discovered regardless of races, resume, age, skintone, college."

I was referring to that. It is a hard problem, not simply a matter of hiring more ethnically diverse people. If you just say "we need a better system", frankly I consider it a fluff article. There is no actionable information in it. It would be like saying "we need to create better cancer treatments" - yeah, sure, but HOW?

"We need a fair and level capitalist system that reduces barriers-to-entry for innovative companies and stops monopolistic practices."

I am not convinced our current system is unfair. At least the article doesn't provide any evidence for it, as I said.
It seems to me all sorts of companies are trying to improve opportunities for everyone (YCombinator Startup School, MOOCs come to mind). The lack of opportunities for some people is not because of unfairness, but because we don't know how to do it better yet.

But who is "unfair" here? Again - if nobody would have created a space agency for Tom Mueller to work for, would it have been unfair? And who would have been to blame? I really don't think fairness is the dominant issue here.
I am a sample of one. And I've had a few bad experiences too, sometimes involving things like late payment (in my case because I was genuinely unable to pay). I've noticed a bit of a pattern: your landlord could be sued for discrimination if someone could show a pattern of enforcing the rules on protected individuals and not on others. If a paper trail is being created, it's not surprising to find that rules are rules. But as an example, I was homeless at one point and should have been arrested for shop-lifting (food) and the cop gave me a break. If I'd been black in that part of the city, I guarantee I would have been in jail. In other cases, I've had multiple examples of people listening to me and not listening to more-qualified women in the same meeting, often if I simply repeat what they said 30s later.
But that's the part that's crashing. I'm suggesting Chrome use llvmpipe to do whatever they needed hardware acceleration for, generate a single boring texture on a single big rectangle, and pass that through to the graphics driver. That way Chrome itself isn't loading the Nouveau libGL and is much more insulated from incompatibilities between Chrome and Nouveau, whosever fault it might be.
Don’t some of the commercial RTOSes have optional fixed, time slot–based scheduling like you describe? I thought I had seen that, but now I can’t find any examples with some simple searches.

If at all a person will listen more to his peer's words than a teacher's. I grew up in a small town in India, I had asked my friends to move to bigger city for college - many of them didn't want to move..I did. And i would say my career has so far been better than theirs.
There will also other factors which affect a person's decision on career location - family pressure/bonding- most often to pursue a career of your choice you will have to travel long distance/relocate, many people wouldn't want to do that..People who go that extra length do succeed.

Yes, they have the same right. Whether they ought to exercise that right is another question entirely.
I understand, and agree with the "stickiness" of both racism and poverty, but like I mentioned above, home loans are one thing because maybe those racist people thought that "the blacks" where going to bring down their property values or make eyes at their daughters if they lived in the neighborhood. So even though it was terrible and misguided, it was rational from their warped perspective.

But car loans? In 2019?

It is just so baffling to me. Both why they would do it, and also why no one else at all is stepping up to get that money.
IMHO it's unfeasible, because the exact same situation as with 9999999999999999.0 (a literal that's impossible to represent accurately as double and will get rounded to something else) applies also to very common cases such as 0.1 (which can't have an exact binary representation at all) - adding a compiler warning for that will mean that the warning will trigger for pretty much every floating point literal.
Sure, because a custom DNS server is easy to set up.
The screenshot was from Ubuntu. I haven't experienced the issue on Arch at all.
This article is from June 2018 - I've seen the news go around social media in the last day or so but I'm unsure what gave it newsworthiness again. Did people just freak out now that they've gone through the 23andMe kits they received for Christmas?

Where are you looking for Python engineers? I'm surprised you're having trouble finding them, the language and ecosystem seems like it's thriving and more popular than ever.
Just because you don't experience it (or experience the opposite) doesn't mean the advantages don't exist. The effects of these privileges can be observed across the aggregate of social groups; I don't think you should be dismissing them just because you personally have been unlucky enough to not take advantage of them.

But wait... what really happened in your situation?

* the threat of eviction was rescinded after you paid back

* you paid it back with cashiers checks... how were you able to get those so quickly?

So, in a story where you tried to demonstrate the lack of advantages of being a white male, you basically demonstrated the opposite.
> Unfortunately we don't have the resources to test every variation of every GPU/driver combination on linux, let alone investigate & fix bugs in drivers.

This is a lie.

Google could easily undertake such an act, but is choosing not to. It's not that they _lack the resources to do so_, but that the value proposition of doing so did not weigh favourably towards undertaking the action.

Google isn't incapable of this task, they are _unwilling_ to undertake this task.
C might be okay to learn for academic purposes but it's an absolute nightmare to use building real things.

Things like strings and pointers are nightmarish in C. Segfaults aplenty.

I've never encountered a segmentation fault since switching to modern C++. Just because you use C++ doesn't mean you have to use the entirety of it.
>I am not demanding that they do work.

Sure you are:

>If they find the nouveau driver lacking, they should improve it, not sabatoge it.

Not supporting a buggy driver is hardly "sabotaging it". It's not their job to make it work.

>If they don't want to put the work in, then they should just leave well enough alone.

And in doing so, their least-technical Linux users will suffer from sudden crashes that they don't understand. Now how does that help Linux?
> > Currently macOS only allows 90-degree rotation increments.

> Windows has supported landscape/portrait switching since forever, I think it was already there in windows XP almost two decades ago, if not it was in 7 for sure (and it's in 10 since I use it right now).

Allowing portrait is exactly what 90 degree rotation means.
I've personally actively avoided buying anything with Nvidia hardware in it for 8 years now because of how awful their software business is. That has meant I've even skipped over tablets and phones using their chips and will never buy a Nintendo Switch because... well... firstly consoles are bullshit crippling perfectly good computers with proprietary OSes but secondly because it has an Nvidia chip in it.

I tell everyone I know not to buy Nvidia, I have built gaming computers both professionally and for family that I've actively advised against buying Nvidia parts for because of their business practices, and when I buy notebooks its a real PITA to get one without some Nvidia GPU in it but I do that too.

But Linux cannot "throw out" support for Nvidia. Nvidias driver is wholly independent of Linux, its why its such a PITA to work with. Its a DKMS blob driver and way too much other useful stuff depends on that interface to break it just to stop Nvidia. Fortunately nobody is going out of their way to support Nvidia either, such as their stupid attempt to fragment Wayland development with eglstreams nonsense.

The most valuable thing any of us can do is constantly decry Nvidia for being the reprehensible company they are and use what influence we have over those we know to distance them from buying their products the same way you should distance friends and family from buying Nestle or Exxon products or should avoid shopping at Walmart.
CS isn’t really required for majority of developers.
True though this may be, the quoted parent did not say "only macOS allows". They're asserting that on macOS, the only available options are in 90-degree increments.
> One should try to use ring buffers for all communication, not shared memory

Could you expound upon that?
Correction - the views are interleaved, and the details of that interleaving depend on the calibration of your individual Looking Glass.

https://github.com/lonetech/LookingGlass has a Python tool that grabs the calibration out of the looking glass, and an OpenGL shader that can be used with MPlayer to take the tiled videos from the vimeo link and display them on the LG.

It's a really cool effect in person - I'm totally glad I sprung for one!
P2P isn't just file sharing and home servers, for example the popular PS4/Xbox/PC game "Destiny" is all serverless P2P instances. I can't imagine an ISP banning you from playing PS4 games.
or archive.is could just post regular signed backups. No need for blockchain, as there is no need to form a consensus in this case.
It's not even an LTS release.
What I'm thinking of are synced ignore lists of some sort. I think I read in the issue tracker that this is something they plan to change eventually.

And related, sync % reflecting ignored files. For example I've ignored a bunch of transient things like node_modules so my backup server sync is permanently at 70% even though it's actually up to date with all the files I want synced.
That's all closely guarded, I'm not even sure if that's public knowledge or not. Worth noting, however, Apple's quarterly revenue is like $50B while ARM's is $500M- split across many customers.

Apple certainly has shown a proclivity for such bravado, but I think there's no way it wouldn't be a huge setback to the business & the competitiveness of their chips, and breaking free of Intel ASAP is probably worth a lot more than any royalties they pay ARM.

It wouldn't look the same, but I suspect economic stratification would still happen even without the institutions that reinforce it, because small advantages compound and power laws are a thing.

I'm reminded of how scientists have elaborate protocols for eliminating bias in experiments, because just wanting to do it right isn't enough. Fairness (however you define it) doesn't happen by default.
Did you deliberately omit the end of that quote to make your point look better? I gave them an out: a demand with an out is not a demand.

>If they don't want to put the work in, then they should just leave well enough alone.

nouveau doesn't crash, but some cards may experience occasional glitches. That's something you need to take up with Ubuntu, not Chromium.
Buy an AMD or Intel GPU. They're cost-effective (or non-negotiably bundled, sometimes), they're well supported, and the vendors make a considerable effort to ensure that stable, compliant drivers are available on every major operating system, and that the free ones are no less stable nor any less compliant.

AMD's performance is competitive dollar-for-dollar, and the top of their lineup is about 80% as good the absolute highest-tier competitor most of the time.
I wouldn't call Georgia realer than California, but people do seem to have some severe blinders to regional inequalities that don't map neatly onto a strictly demographic category.

There are issues with arbitrary precision decimal numbers. For one, you can't deal with things like 1/3: these are repeating decimals so they need infinite memory to represent.

Yeah, not quite, there's a reason that most of the big software cos are in the US, clustered in certain areas, and not in Kiev were so many geniuses are.

Networks, locality, these are important.

Elon Musk attended Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, and I was going to Uni at the same time in Kingston. He transferred to the US. The Canadians in his cohort mostly did not. There is very little 'game' in Canada - though there are decent jobs, there are very few high flying startups, and very few leading big-corps to make all the necessary acquisitions to keep the system going. If Elon were to have remained in Canada, we'd have never heard of him.

So even in a relatively affluent country like Canada, there is a massive dearth of special, great opportunity: the ecosystems are mostly not in place for it.

There are very major and affluent US cities with tons of talent where one could say the same as well.

There's a reason people move to the Valley and it's not just the weather.

This is changing a bit, but not existentially.
You can get native GPU buffers via enabling zero copy rasterizer in flags and passing --enable-native-gpu-memory-buffers via chromium-flags or as an argument.

They work on ChromeOS the same way they do on desktop Linux and I've been using them for months without issue.
I wrap my cloud storage with encfs by default:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EncFS

EncFS is not perfect in that if your adversary has the opportunity to watch your encrypted files updating on the regular they can (allegedly) break the encryption, but they can't do it from a single snapshot.

It's a decent protection against an airport sniffing your phone traffic while you're on the public wifi, it's not going to stop the NSA if they decide you're a person of interest. In other words, if this is a concern for you EncFS is an acceptable baseline protection.
It says my ip address was infiltrated and is being used as a proxy, any clue what this means?
Your situation doesn't sound like my coworker. I hate the idea of counting hours, but if I had to, the coworker does about 20 per week. He abuses our very lax schedule (we don't have an office) and vacation policy to spend as much time as he can doing other things. I know what he works on, and what he's dealing with since our team is very small. The facts are that he works as little as possible, and only has excuses to show when we try to confront him about what should have been done.
I've had the same experience when my ISP put me behind a CGNAT: the port table got reset every other day, and some other customer could have taken the port you wanted at that point, applications with ports hardcoded over number 2000 did not work because they could not be requested, people with PPTP VPNs could not use them anymore as GRE didn't work. Plus, enjoy getting banned from things because you share your IPv4 with plenty of strangers. The solution from the ISP was to give those who complained a "fixed IPv4 plan" for free, since that pulled you out of their IPv6+CGNAT deployment plan, at least for the moment.
You need a VAAPI build of Chromium, it isn't on by default.

Arch has a PKGBUILD in the repo: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-vaapi/ and I think there are builds for most popular distros out there nowadays.

If you are on Arch or one of its family you can get a -bin version in the AUR or use ArchlinuxCN that builds it in their repo.
I get you have an axe[0] to grind with NVIDIA, but is attacking people trying to mitigate around a broken driver really the right direction? By your message, we should also be "pissed off" at you for disabling a driver that "works" in your project too.
