>those who perpetuate cultures

Without any real knowledge of this situation, I'm pretty comfortable saying that anyone reporting this isn't perpetuating the culture. But, let's not jump to conclusions...
I think it probably means you should read the article — everyone can join.
Apple has their own walled garden ecosystem because they can afford to. It really isn't much different from Microsoft in the 90s and early 00s, when they were at the peak of their market lock-in with Windows. Then the rest of the world changed, and it took them a really long time to adapt. Since they've been forced to open up their software and their ecosystem, the consumer has benefited immensely. Had everyone still been working on Microsoft Office on Microsoft Windows with generic PC hardware and the mobile revolution had not occurred, Microsoft would have never left their old ways because they didn't need to.

Whether the same thing will at some point happen to Apple we do not know (although I'll wager we're nearing Apple's peak), but it will likely take a monumental change in the way that the technology world works for such a transformation to happen.
I am suggesting that people need to distinguish remote rendering and remote display. I do not advocate removing the network capability. In fact, I personally have avoided using Wayland for this very reason. But, I am also not volunteering to maintain Xorg myself, so I try to understand where things are going.

Hardly any of the use cases I have heard for networked graphics actually require or even care where the rendering occurs. They are just concerned with application software installed and running in one place causing pixels to appear for a user elsewhere. These could work just fine with remote display streams, with all rendering happening on the same host where the application executes.

I ponder what it is that I really dislike about VNC or RDP, and I find it is the nested desktop and lack of integrated window management. I think I'd be fine with some kind of "rootless" variant to let me SSH-forward a set of windows to a Wayland compositor. I would prefer it to have more flavor of tmux/screen to let me connect and disconnect, and easily define named sessions or groups of windows that I would want to grab together.
Evernote's failure really motivated me to work on an Open Source alternative:

https://getpolarized.io/

It's slightly different than Evernote and more focused on reading + spaced repetition integration.

The next version I'm working on add support for folders and better three level notes preview.

The one thing I need to add, to enable a full Evernote alternative is the ability to take standalone notes.

Right now they have to be attached to books / PDFs which is a bit limiting.
A one time pad is not broken by design. Your scheme is.

You can’t get my keyboard, and I don’t answer phishing attacks. This isn't about that -- in fact you're making the argument your broken key management system isn't needed.
Just in case: here is the story and photo of whole EverNote 2 development team: https://notes.sciter.com/2017/09/11/motivation-and-a-bit-of-...

I did note renderer and editor (HTML, WYSIWYG) for EverNote 2. Later that code became Sciter Engine (https://sciter.com)
i stopped at the point when i was mandated to upload a personal intro video to youtube. just not used to that at all.

"In my opinion we need Europe and other countries to begin heavily fining companies skirting their responsibilities"

Well, the cliche when stuff like this happens is that the company diverted too much money to stock buybacks, dividends, and so on, leaving their actual business operations starved for resources. So, sounds reasonable, but how then does diverting more money to more external entities cause them to do better? I'm not arguing against it, I just don't understand what the rationale is. I think it's unwise to try to punish an abstract entity without thinking carefully about how it will affect the actual people involved.
I’m reminded of an article many years ago about when Boeing was outsourcing to to improve return on capital or some nonsense and at some point someone just said to maximize return on capital they should just have someone else design and make the planes and put a Boeing sticker on them
> to remove the network capability from X

They haven’t removed it from X have they? You can keep running X if you want to (you may need to start maintaining it yourself.)

They don’t use it so they don’t want to implement or maintain it. Seems super reasonable to me?
The factory analogy is pretty good. Profit doesn't really goes to the workers, it goes to the owners. And one critical property of capitalism is that owners and workers aren't the same people at all.

Having programmers sign off their copyright has the same effect as classical capitalism: it separates whoever owns the code from whoever works on it. The owners can then enjoy the full royalties, while the programmers are limited to their salaries —just like the factory workers.

Factory workers could walk away with the fruits of their labour, if only they owned the factory. Programmers could walk away with the fruits of their labour, if only they retained the rights to them. And in my opinion, they both should. The means of production should be owned by the workers, not the capitalists.

If on the other hand you agree with capitalism, it makes perfect sense to have programmers sign away their rights.
Going from 60ms to 40ms for a transatlantic hop isn't quite that significant IMO. An HFT organization will simply co-locate their compute servers in the same continent as the exchange. Actually, they will colocate their servers in the same geographic neighborhood, if not within the very same data center. Source: was HFT systems dev for 10 years.
You can't, officially. scihub is the napster of scientific publications, and it regularly gets shut down and moves.
Using art in this way is especially effective since the owners of Purdue pharma are large patrons of the arts.
It should become more difficult for the art-world to hold their noses while taking the money.

>>> "You are kidding right ? "

No, I'm not kidding. The oil in Iraq is 100% under their control. America derives no wealth from Iraqi Oil.

If you want to learn something about it, read up [1]

Of course, some of it is independently controlled by Kurds, and some of it in hostile areas, but it has nothing to do with America.

Will they be rich like Saudis? No, because there isn't quite enough of it, it's in 'hot zones', they still have geopolitical instability making the system totally inefficient.

But again: it's Iraqi oil - not something 'stolen by America'.

Most of the Oil in Iraq is extracted by foreign companies, as I mentioned, a lot of it is extracted by local irregular entities - and the beneficiaries on the other side of the equation, i.e. the 'buyers' of the Oil is

>>> "Why is Saudi a saint"

Who said Saudi Arabia was a saint?

Basically - nobody is saying that.

Saudi Arabia makes headlines daily for their abuses. The US/UK/Canadian (and others) are under a lot of pressure as we speak to limit military sales.

What separates 'China' from 'Saudi Arabia' is the fact that one represents an existential concern, outside their borders, one does not.

China wants to rule that side of the world.

The 'House of Saud' is content to have it's little fiefdom. Of course, the Wahabbis are exporting an ideology, and money flows from Saudi into some not-so-good things, but that's not the House of Saud.

Osama Bin Laden's primary objective was to overthrow the Saudi gov. - the 'destroy America' thing comes much later.

The Saudi Arabian government a) actively works with other powers to track down terrorists b) has a de-facto kind of peace with Israel c) ensures that their Oil flows freely into global markets d) is not trying to overthrow Iran e) is not trying to steal industry and IP f) is not trying to build an army/navy to cause a lot of trouble far beyond their borders. (And Yemen FYI is on their border, it's a spillover problem)

Saudi Arabia is a 'decent state actor' with a lot of internal social problems we don't like.

China has become a hostile economic entity, and is becoming more so a military adversary with concerns about it's borders.

Do you really need to install UnifiedNLP to use location services? Doesn't the GPS radio work without google play services?
I think of confidence in terms of statistical confidence. You can give people good feedback on how to determine if this is a good bet without getting all personal and emotional about it.

That doesn't mean you can't ever say anything about them. There are situations where a statement like "Yes, but you have x track record of performance." is pertinent objective feedback.

What I find problematic is men want to engage me emotionally. They want an emotional connection. They treat me like a vending machine of guaranteed good feelings.

And it has nothing to do with helping me accomplish something. It often actively interferes.
This is really it. Board of directors set goals, say reducing costs, they offer a big bonus, you meet the goal, get the big bonus. Problems become someone else's proble. You buy a big car, house, go to fancy non-profit's $500 dinners.
An apple trackpad isn’t just the hardware, it’s also the software integration. Plus, who wants to carry around an external trackpad for their machine? I’ll just cope with avoiding the trackpad if I switch back.
> The 9980XE is just a really large/fast Skylake CPU. Skylake is years old.

Unfortunately larger and slightly refined Skylakes is all that Intel ships these days on Desktop. If it’s unfair to compare Ryzen CPUs to that, then I’m afraid there is no fair comparison that can be made until Intel gets around making actually new CPUs.
Made me think, I wonder if the photon pressure from a vortex beam of light will spin a target, as well as push it away?
There'll never be another push up as famous as Jack Palance's one-arm routine during the Oscars.

Well, each WSL1 process is a Windows process. If you’re running vim in bash, for example, you’ll see “vim” and “bash” as separate processes in Task Manager. WSL is all about ELF binaries natively, just as Win32 runs PE executables natively.
V1 of WSL (which isn’t going to go away IIRC) was essentially an iteration/improvement of the subsystem model, but with new things like picoprocesses.

This article[1] has a good overview of the design goals, which mainly was to let unmodified binaries run.

I've seen brilliant people make mistakes and not recognize it for decades. Consider the Intel processor Spectre vulnerabilities. Being smart doesn't make the logic correct
Based on 21 years of marriage (and occasional arguments), no. Absolutely not.

I don't think it contradicts the point.

When you have a legacy system that "sits in the corner" earning money, you're [the company] paying engineers to retain their services in emergencies. Features get added too, if you're interested in keeping or gaining customers. So construction cost as a proportion of total cost does trend to zero.

The company/stockholders doesn't care about hot new technologies. They care about revenue. Customers don't care their software is written in this or that framework or is powered by deep learning. They care about stable, usable, useful apps. Businesspeople know this. Many engineers do not. I think that disconnect causes much strife in tech businesses.

I’m also interested in hearing GPs thoughts on rdp and x.
I've learned to enjoy the struggle and this has helped me immensely.
But it wasn't a software issue! /S
https://philip.greenspun.com/blog/2019/04/08/boeing-737-max-...

Any competent engineer would raise moral and ethical questions when working on software that is "mission ciritical". Causing a passenger plane to continually go into a nose dive because of data coming from a single sensor is absolutely ludicrous. Just because the software was horribly designed, doesn't mean it isn't a software issue.
Thick ones, able to house active cooling, and therefore fast CPUs.

A brand doesn’t matter.
You pinpointed exactly the rub I was experiencing. Reminds me of "Rules as Written" vs "Rules as Intended" dichotomy I see mentioned on the Dungeons and Dragons stack exchange.

If this really is the year of the linux desktop, it's not what I had imagined.

The apt name would be Microsoft/Linux.
But that would give Stallman an aneurysm.
> Israel is not in the top 20 active duty

Well yeah, it's a tiny country. In terms of active duty personnel per capita, it's fourth in the world (2.1% of population, as opposed to 1.2% for South Korea and 0.4% for the USA).

> from what he told me after basic training he basically served his time doing nothing near the dmz.

The security strategy of Israel and South Korea is:

* Be able to call an army of ~10% of the population into being within 48-72 hours

* Have an active-duty military with the latest and most up-to-date equipment and training to hold the line until that enormous reserve is ready

* Have intelligence services capable of giving advance warning so the active-duty military doesn't need to hold out as long

So yes of course someone drafted into the ROK army will be trained for combat, and then spend several years on equipment maintenance and training waiting for The Big One to roll around.

Israel is a bit different in that, in addition to its preparations for high-intensity conventional war, its active-duty army is also involved in low-intensity conflict continuously. This is a major concern for the army, as it needs to make a tradeoff between levels of force to apply to the daily grind in the West Bank and the Gaza border areas, and the level of readiness for high-intensity conflict - Israel's poor performance in the 2006 Lebanon War was widely attributed within the Israeli military establishment to the reduced training for conventional warfare while the army was caught up in the counterinsurgency work of the Second Intifadah.
> Can the company sue the newspaper for damages?

Duh!

They can always sue. Unless they can prove malicious intent, they won't win.
This is true, depending on how far away you look from where you are.

Or, this is true, if you allow that "day" is defined by sunrise to sunrise (or sunset to sunset, depending on your religion), which in the region discussed would give you one sunrise per revolution around the sun.

Either one of those truths could be the basis for fixing this bug.

EDIT: Rather than a bug (in the implementation), this may be better classified as an under-specification.
I found myself often wanting more storage until I had more than 200GB available, so that's the number for me.
In fact I am developing Sciter Notes to bring back that handy feel of EverNote.

For now it stores notes only locally but in next version it will be possible to use clouds (DropBox, GoogleDrive, etc.) for sharing and accessing notes from Mobiles and browser.

"The first UN rapporteur to visit Venezuela for 21 years has told The Independent the US sanctions on the country are illegal and could amount to “crimes against humanity” under international law.

Former special rapporteur Alfred de Zayas, who finished his term at the UN in March, has criticized the US for engaging in “economic warfare” against Venezuela which he said is hurting the economy and killing Venezuelans."

As of VirtualBox 6.0, they should be able to coexist (because VirtualBox piggies onto Hyper-V when it’s enabled effectively).
It’s happening at the hypervisor level, and in this case it’s Type 1, so I guess you could but I don’t know how. My ops colleagues are hanging their heads at me right now.

Holy crap, I need to email this link both to my old boss, and to my likely new boss with whom I'm negotiating salary right now!
Like with pre-modern human lifespans, there's a VERY long tail on that number.
There's two Google apps I just can't live without: YouTube and Google Maps. There's simply no alternative to the amount of value these bring me. OSM is getting good but it's just not there yet. I'm working on this in my area.

I'd suggest to anyone worried about Google tracking to use Privacy Guard built into LineageOS, which aims to make each and every request for sensitive permissions explicit.

A big benefit of free software is that we can also use useful proprietary apps without giving up control of our hardware.
The problem is there's very little hydrogen on Venus. It has next to no magnetic field, too. Days last 243 Earth days. There are a lot of problems with Venus.
The team has said its working with VMware and VirtualBox on solutions but I have no idea what those will be.
Yes, but if garbage never caught fire nobody would bother inventing better fire suppression techniques.

Also, nobody ever saw a fireman by hiding inside with their window blinds shut. Take a peek outside, what you see might bring you hope.
I posted this before about a previous version of Snap!:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17056444

I was hoping that second one was about Scratch, the visual blocks programming language for kids, similar to Logo, based on a Smalltalk development environment (which is a lot better than X!)

If you're interested in visual programming with a powerful Scheme-like language with first class functions, closures, special forms, macros, and even continuations so you can define your own control structures, check out Snap! (The exclamation mark is part of the name, so it's easy to get excited about Snap!)

It's a descendent of Scratch but more powerful, hand-written in JavaScript instead of Smalltalk, and it integrates easily with JS code. (There's a user defined JavaScript function block that you can use to integrate with the Snap VM and the browser!)

Snap was written by Jens Mönig and Brian Harvey, who know what they're doing! ;)

GPS does work, but sometimes it takes anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes to lock onto your position. It doesn't bother me now, but at times it's useful to have faster location lock, in which case UnifiedNLP + a few location providers does the trick.
