Fractional scaling in Wayland is great news.

Until now if you had linux on a high resolution touch screen computer you had to make do with a subpar experience. It doesn't matter which combination of X11/Wayland and KDE/Gnome you chose.

In X11 : touch support is bad to the point of being unusable but you can scale the UI with fractions.

In wayland : touch support is better but you can only scale per unit (100%, 200%) which makes things either way too small or way too big.

Did you not think about that before signing up? What, honestly, did you expect military life to be like?

The entire history of military organisations has been pushing the individuals at the sharp-edge to their limits and beyond in order to achieve the unachievable as directed by the politicians. And usually without anyone knowing about their sacrifice.

There is nothing unusual or inconsistent with the modern USAF. Back in the 1960s "SAC SUCKS" could be found scraped on the interiors of B-52s after 26-hour Chrome Dome missions.

> Zuckerberg owns or controls 88.1% of Facebook’s Class B shares, which each have 10 votes at the annual meeting — 3.98 billion votes overall. There are only 2.4 billion Class A shares, which are the only shares ordinary investors can buy. So any proposal Zuckerberg doesn’t like will fail by nearly a 2-1 margin, assuming all Class A investors vote together, which never happens. (Zuckerberg owns 0.5% of the Class A shares.)

when did this powerful structure come into existence in the history of Facebook and who was responsible for it? was its origin with Peter Thiel's initial investment and was it his idea to make it so the founder would preserve their power?

Where? I don't see it anywhere. There's some discussion of total volume perhaps being non-independent from box to box, so an underfilled box is followed by an overfilled one, but this isn't the point the grandparent is making. The grandparent is making the point that there are probably systems in place to prevent a box from being 80% red, say, so that the assumption each individual skittle in a box is independently uniformly drawn from each possible color does not likely accurately model the dynamics.

Maybe I've got a bad case of the "back in my day", but I feel more and more that "mystique" is what makes life worth living.

Watching a lot of movies from the 60s-90s recently, it's striking how much more effort we needed to put into everyday life back then.

Want to meet a friend? Call their number, hope they're home and arrange a time. Want to watch a movie? Drive to the video store and hope they've got what you want. Out of food? You're driving to the nearest restaurant, no Uber Eats. Want to find out the median rainfall in Fiji? You're waiting for the library to open and digging through a stacks of musty old books.

Nowadays, everything's instantaneous - you want something, you get it. We've lowered the bar for almost everything.

If consumption and enjoyment no longer require any effort, doesn't that devalue the entire experience? What does that mean for life in general? Don't you think that humility comes from knowing the effort required to know or acquire things?

Wow, I just went to the Cocalc website, and it's truly shocking. It seems like an interesting service, but terribly marketed. Do you have any designers? I know your service is targeted towards technically minded people, but it still needs to be able to market itself. Have you done any user testing on how people use your marketing website? Here is my experience so far:

The first thing I see is a NINE minute long video. As a first time visitor who doesn't know anything about this service, that's too much time to invest.

The second thing I see is that it supports a lot of stuff. Cool, but why is it better than what I have now? I see that I can share things privately. I can already do that. I can "time travel". Yes, version control is a thing. I can publish it online. Great, I already do that. These are the only thing I read because they are the only thing that's bold. To be honest, this is where I would have clicked away.

It also doesn't help that the navigation is unusable at half-laptop screen width, let alone on mobile.

Only after scouring your website do I realize that it's basically Google Docs but for math, which is cool! But this was not clear at all when first visiting your site.

Wrong question to ask. Ask why not. Failing to come up with a good answer means these things tend to happen if someone is willing to do the work.

Python is pretty popular and running it in a browser makes sense if you are used to writing python and don't particularly like dealing with javascript. For most of the past 20 years javascript has been a necessary evil if you wanted to do stuff in a browser. Wasm is changing that into an unnecessary evil.

Yes, you are correct.

All retailers play the same game though, with products priced as loss leaders to get traffic in the door in the hopes you don't notice you're paying 1.5x as much for anything else you grab while there.

The dollar stores take it to the next level (as you noticed). They thrive on the financial illiteracy of poor and rural demographics.

Look at the price of paper towels. Only $1, right? But it's half the size of the $1 rolls at Walmart.

Other stuff is just poor quality. $1 for a gallon of watered-down "bleach", versus $3 for the real deal elsewhere.

God help you if you swing a dollar store hammer around. Those dollar safety glasses will be about as effective as taping an actual dollar across your eyes.

Like a timeshare salesman or casino, they make you think you're winning to keep you coming back.

Real value is health care as human right. That we do not do it, and worse, can't even get a basic like water right is an embarrassment at the least, and rock solid cause for reform all day long.

In simpler times, a city able to provide clean water was a city of note. Worthy destination. This has been true for ages.

Flint fucked for how long now?

Our national priorities are insane! Bat shit wrong and health care, food, water, housing are all right at the top of reform agendas for damn good reason.

We can do better, and we need to.

The uninsured are uninsured because they are unable to spend. Put whatever the fuck anyone wants on that paper and it does not matter one lick.

Might as well write, "yeah, let me die, k?"

Frankly, there is zero value in the idea, and a lot of harm potential in the norms being changed for the worse: "but they consented..."

Anyone who wants to make a directive can do so today. Expecting people to do it because our system is fucked makes zero sense.

It is long past time we get our priorities in order so conversations like this are laughable, not morbid.
You'll need people that _really_ love their work. I know that's hard to find or to achieve, but it's possible to have some intrinsic motivation to deliver better and better code each day, to grow with your tasks etc.

I think most people these days are in for the money and not for "the challenge" which is why we see so much mediocre software. On the other hand there is excellent software too, so there are people who really know what they are doing.

I tell my students that the purpose of Engineering is not to build something stronger. It is to build something as weak as possible without breaking. Any baron can conscript a bunch of peasants and build a castle with walls 10 meters thick. But some will go bankrupt trying. Or, get an engineer to figure out how to build a wall 50 cm thick that can withstand trebuchet attacks.

If you're not minimizing something, you're not engineering.

This is very interesting facts that cyber security is something required specialized knowledge and training to quickly respond with appropriate info rather than jumping around that actually creates confusion around the industry as such.
At least in Safari, history.replaceState() still pollutes the browser history, all it does is avoid breaking the back button.
But you actually say it requires negligence on part of multiple people. I find it very hard to apply Hanlon's razor in this case.

Anyway, from my experience people do the stupidest/reckless things despite being told not to, just because there is no fear of backlash. Holding people liable for their actions could be a start, but who wants that?

Also, don't hire foolish developers in the first place. Policing around pebkac is hard.
> Is FB worth it? It is to many, apparently.

It's highly interesting that nobody would even dream of saying something like "apparently, most people on Earth think transsexuals are evil", or "do global warming and the increasing extinctions of species matter? not according to most, apparently". Why do people in "tech" outsource their judgement on this topic to people who aren't even in the room, a mythical "average person", every single time the issue comes up?

What was the breaking point for, say, to start fighting for and making headway when it came to sexual self-determination? Once more than half of the people on the planet were for it? Or did Rosa Parks decide "now is the time, most people in the US support the end of segregation, now that it's only a formality, I won't change seats?". No, that's not how it works. You figure out what you consider to be right, and then you fight for it. You don't know the outcome, you know what you know to be right, or wrong. You get sick of something, and then you refuse to participate in it, because you'd rather die. And historically, it sometimes takes a small amount of dedicated people to change things for the better.

I haven't seen a person who is really strong-willed about not caring about their own privacy. It's not like most people who "don't care about privacy" are fighting against it, they're sleepwalking. They'll just as happily sleepwalk into another direction, so that they don't care can't be an excuse, ever. Right now, it's easier, and less socially painful, to not care about privacy. That can be changed.

If people don't have experience with totalitarianism, and don't learn about it, and don't smell it in the wind today, then of course they will balk at any inconvenience to prevent it. But if it happens again on sufficient scale, it'll be a point of no return. There will be no more humanity; Earth will be an eternal torture chamber at worst, just empty of human agency at best, at any rate a boot stamping on a human face, forever. You would just need a way to give someone a really lucid dream, getting tortured for a few weeks in a dictatorship. Upon waking up, they will realize they need a few tools, privacy and human rights that apply to all being among them. People who don't have the empathy and imagination to have completed such thought experiments in their youth don't have any blessing to give, so I wouldn't even worry about ways to retrieve it from them.
Also using Wikidata links, you’ll get support for many more languages. It is also much easier to process by bots to get more relevant statistics on many more terms than the very anglo-centered and too limited Swadesh list.
I really enjoy reading Vi Hart, and I had to think of a hobby I picked up recently, which is Super Mario Maker on the Nintendo Wii U. It's not quite Turing complete, but the complexity it brings forth really gets me thinking into similar directions. And if I'm now imagining a full-fledged programming environment in a Jump-and-Run world, I'm quite sure bringing all this into the third dimension would be mind-boggling.

Also, there were attempts to bring computational complexity to MineCraft once? What happened to this stuff? Did it ever evolve past simple experiments? I imagine puzzles, the kind you can find in SMM, but in a somehow self-aware MineCraft environment, where when you do X, entire walls rearrange to give way to another cave. Maybe this would remove some of the open world aspects of the game, but still be pretty amazing.
> whether those symbols actually make the code more readable is debatable.

In general, it would be rather silly to use greek letters for variable names. Yet sometimes, they tend to make numerical code much more readable when you are copying a mathematical formula verbatim.

Compare using "πθ" versus "M_PI*theta" several times on the same formula, for example.

1. We are planning to introduce a Freemium model which means we will have the following roles:

Group #2 somehow lacks the imagination to see what could go wrong. They will learn when a cause effect of Facebook usage is put in their face. I guess the recent news does not push it in their face enough.

Its like that with skimming, lock picking, server security, infrastructure security, basically everything security related.
The difference is traditionally it's a) visible, b) legal, and c) only targets in the most broad-brush terms the major groups in society - broadly in line with the manifesto. breaching regulations in an advert, speech or leaflet has resulted in consequences up to and including prosecuting or throwing out the whole result. I believe the Swiss voided a referendum result only the other week because the electorate didn't have enough or accurate information.

There's good reason many nations have laws severely restricting political advertising including spending limits and extra restrictions near voting time, or banning custom pricing and other forms of discrimination. Saying whatever bullshit it takes to get the vote/sale must continue to come with serious consequences or we're right back where we were in the 17th and 18th centuries.

And yes, the regulatory systems do seem to be failing to cope with the new way of things.
Very nice! I am curious how this would compare to Discourse feature and usability wise.

But would they need privacy, or could they use open communications instead? It's one thing when you know peoples rights are being violated somewhere, it's another if you can see that live on youtube.

I think if anything current tech would make civil rights movements easier. My example is last years revolution in Armenia. Police knew all of the initial group of protesters, and tapped all their phonecalls, but by decentralizing, by using low risk forms of protests (e.g. honking, blocking the streets by going back and forth on the crossing), by using constant live streams from everywhere, protesters managed to gain and demonstrate support of enough people that the old government had to give up.
