This could be a chicken-and-egg problem: they don't focus on it since Wayland is not really widely adopted. And maybe Nividia's lack of Wayland support may be one of the reasons Wayland is not really widely adopted.

Either way, Red Hat moving Wayland forward may at some point force them to reevaluate their decisions.
That's intentional. The most successful fishing emails, sketchy ads, etc are obviously bad to anyone savvy. They design it so that only computer illiterate people end up falling for it, as they have no chance of fixing the problem themselves.

This is, in my humble opinion, the most important aspect to climate change.

Our entire civilization is built on the assumption/requirement that there are enough areas of land that will remain within certain atmospheric parameters for enough contiguous months to grow a lot of food. Technology has widened the atmospheric parameters a bit, and has increased the yield enormously.

Climate change is the result of more energy in the biosphere. This energy is in the process of increasing the (effective) random variabilities of all atmospheric parameters, globally.

Our atmosphere has always been a chaotic system, and when the necessary parameters weren't met for a given region for enough time, then a lot of people migrated and starved.

Adding more energy into a chaotic system tends to make it even more chaotic.

As you noted, these permutations go in both directions.

More unusual heat waves.

More unusual cold waves.

More unusual droughts.

More unusual rain/flooding.

More unusual storms, both warm and cold.

And all of these things globally.

I think there's non-trivial chance that climate change will, on average, cut world-wide food production by a substantial amount over the next two decades. If that is indeed the case, it will be a lot of downs and ups, just as we're seeing now, but, slowly, more and more severe.

> but it gets better every year?

Also, can you say how/why it is getting better?
It would really be better if we promoted more passive solar design instead of more AC.

We used to rely a lot more heavily on vernacular architecture. It is possible to design a space that needs little in the way of active heating or cooling to stay comfortable.

I don't know why this isn't more widely promoted. I sometimes feel like I'm the only one who has thought of this obvious answer and I have no influence in the world, so I'm just howling into the void of the internet to occasionally comment on it on HN where it often then gets dismissed on some excuse or other.
I agree, forcing people to testify to provide their keys is probably where our system will get stuck on this for good. That's a bad line to cross, and I don't think we'll cross it if we remain a lawful country.

I say this below, though, when people refuse to serve access to a lawful warrant, there are now multiple cases where people will be held in contempt of court essentially indefinitely, likely for life. The court is certain that the information necessary to convict them exists, but is being vexatiously withdrawn by the suspect.

I don't really think that's a good end. I think holding people in contempt that long is a system failure. What do we do about that? Just release people when they hide evidence that they can still have full access to once they're released?

I think it's been easier to do this stuff since the founding of the government, but our government does have certain powers, lawfully enacted by the wills of all of the states for the betterment of society. If some of those powers can't reasonably be enforced, and other, less lawful, more coercive powers arise in their absence, I think everyone loses.
> Getting a manslaughter charge when acting in self defense is what shouldn't make sense.

The instant someone pulls a gun trigger, they assume legal responsibility for the path of the bullet, and everything it does along that path.

If I fire a shot in justified self-defense but miss and kill someone else, I can (and should) be charged with manslaughter. That makes good legal sense, as far as I can tell.

There may be a general misconception of GUI[1] vs TUI[2] nowadays.

The requirement for a Graphical UI (GUI) is that the user interacts with it via graphical icons and visual indicators. These can exist within a terminal. So, personally I would say WordGrinder and Finch are GUIs in this literal sense. However, your typical lay user may not interpret it this way.

TUI is a sort of abstract term. Sometimes people mean Text UI and sometimes people mean Terminal UI. I don't think these are mutual exclusive. I would understand a text-only UI to be without any visual indicators, whereas terminal UI could be either text or visual. I guess its also worth noting that the phrase 'TUI' was coined after 'GUI'. Perhaps TUI was coined to differentiate the traditional GUI application (a window drawn on a screen with sliders/buttons) from the traditional terminal application (text-only commands). But nowadays, we have libraries like ncurses, that allow us to draw things within a terminal.

They're not GUI, they're TUI.

Not as awesome as CLI, which features stuff like user action history, but you still get to use the terminal, so you get stuff like being able to use it inside `tmux`, or recording what's happening with `script`, or copy any text without the interface being able to disallow it, or pasting a generated set of user actions (when you skip terminal pasting protections) to automate your use of the program, or being able to safely automate its use with something like tk's `expect`, which allows you to factor-in whatever the program outputs (something you can't do with GUI without something like OCR).

CLIs are much easier to automate, though.

According to the article it was ,,a dispute with another woman over the father of the child''. Of course if it's mortal danger, things are different, but I think it's generally very hard for a pregnant woman to kill another woman without a gun. The death statistics of U.S. compared to other countries don't support the theory that guns are used only in mortal danger.
Swift Core ML Implementation of Bert

This dates back to 2014, but there's an GitHub issue with an answer to this question:

Slightly more recently in 2015 there was this blog post:

The salient point is:

> In two simple steps: (1) we hope to earn a reputation for creating superior, simple crypto clients.

> Then, (2) some people may turn to us for more advanced, hosted solutions. That could be anything from team management (in the enterprise) to hosting of public, signed files.

> On this second idea, we are already working on something big and filesystemy, designed to address pain points for developers first. That product will be free for everyone, unless you need massive storage.

I've been trying to explain to people why I think ML is Stats rebranded but this is the most succinct expression of that sentiment:

I think that is right. The algorithm that does the grouped averages is machine learning, and if you put error bars around it, it is stats.

ControlEscape: Have your ESC and Control key, too
ControlEscape is a plugin, aka "Spoon", for HammerSpoon app for macOS. HammerSpoon[1] is a UI layer scripting tool for macOS. From the README, ControlEscape provides this superpower:

With that in mind, we can teach the control key to pull double duty:

– If control is pressed and released in isolation, we can interpret it as escape

– If control is held down and used in combination with another key, then we can let it provide the normal control key behavior

As someone who's an avid user of vim-style keybindings, this has been a spectacular addition to my workflow. I use it with the standard System Preferences rebinding of CapsLock as Control, which makes it even better. It obviously helps on TouchBar MacBooks, but honestly I find it's fantastic even on my favorite external keyboards.

[1] http://www.hammerspoon.org/ – I could write a bit about HammerSpoon itself. It promises to consolidate a number of smaller "UI utility" apps I've accumulated over the years.

Climate is generally defined as an average (of the maximums and minimums) over a 30 year period. So they're right in saying that this heatwave is weather, not climate. This summer will affect the calculated climate, sure, but it could be canceled out by an equally cold summer next year (unlikely, because the Earth is warming).

Here's hoping that the wlroots protocols become more widespread so that one can actually make cross-DE tools like taskbars. I'm using tint2 on Xorg at the moment and there just isn't any alternative on wayland - you have to use what your DE gives you or suck it.

That means a plethora of taskbar extensions on GNOME, all of which suck (poor multi monitor support, poor workspace support). Having to have a separate software project for each DE is the way to get bit rotting projects nobody cares about.
Interesting. I usually use Pale Moon. I don't know if it has a reader mode or not. I got on firefox, clicked around for a while, and didn't find any pages that let me trigger it.

"USA steals a lot of stuff too. But of course the American press won't tell you about that. Or if they mention it, they will put phrase it like "America liberated the population of Irak "

This is complete rubbish.

The US is not in the business of industrial espionage for commercial purposes - either on a corporate or governmental level, where China is.

Second - geopolitical issues have nothing to do with theft of IP, and usually not even resources (at least not in Central America).

'Central American countries' or 'Iraq' definitely have nothing to offer the US or anyone else in terms of the kind of IP theft one might be concerned about in China.

America did not 'steal' anything from Iraq - their Oil is their own, they receive 100% of the revenue, not only that, they are free to partner with any company they use, in fact, they ended up going with entities like Total (France), Statoil (Russia) etc. instead of US companies. (I guess as a 'thanks' for the fact they are now free to do as they please, and the Oil belongs to the people of Iraq instead of Saddam Co.)

"China is bad" because they steal IP, there is no rule of law, there is widespread corruption, pollution, there is total control of the people by the state and people dissapear of the street for no reason.

Literally, as we speak, China is incarcerating 100's of thousands, possibly millions of people due to their ethnicity or religion, and harvesting their organs as they are killed on trumped up charges. [1]

When we use the term 'Nazi' or 'concentration camps', usually it's hyperbole - but it's not: we now have a major power rounding up people by the millions due to ethnicity and culling their organs. This is actualy Nazi level stuff.

The level of moral relativism implied here is repulsive.

Climate refugees leaving Spain? That must be the reason why retired Europeans buy a house in Spanish coasts...

Yes, climate change is impacting how we live in Spain... but please don’t underestimate how humans can adapt and modify our environment... we have been doing it here for 2500 years. Romans digging to extract gold, Kings cutting forest to build ships (and today are deserts), seas of plastic nowadays to feed Europe of vegetables all seasons...

Even under a heavy heat wave like this, the impact will be much higher in other countries; because we are already use to it. The news about France are more scary than Spain’s.
Last year was definitely exceptional in Scotland - it didn't rain for about two months - usually two weeks of sun without rain would be a 'heatwave'.

My comments are not referring to the merit of copyright law. In fact, I explicitly said that I'm not arguing there was anything wrong with it per se in order to highlight that. So if that's what you're looking for, stop. You are missing my point. Don't accuse me of trying to make a point that I am explicitly telling you I'm not trying to make. That is beyond uncharitable.

>But the fact is that one of those people is on firm legal ground, and the other one isn't.

Copyright law was invented in the seventeenth century. The vast majority of human history has taken place in a world where humans were rewarded for copying and sharing any information they could find. I have the lyrics to a copyrighted song stuck in my head at this very moment! I don't want it, but it is there.

My objection is the use of the word 'entitlement,' which is nothing more than a propagandist term here.

Yes, that's what's different.

The canonical example here is child pornography. Consumption and distribution is a crime. If a person destroys it before the state sees it, well, that may be destruction of evidence, but the state will never know. If the person can have full access and go back to consumption and distribution, then justice can't be done, and most people agree it should.

I don't think that any warrant should be executable. I'm saying this problem is complex, people are coming up to ways to address it, and they're not the utopic visions of personal privacy-- they involve unconvicted detention, coercion, etc. Miscarriages of justice.
