>The lie seems potentially much more damaging to your relationship than the fact that you are a loving father to a deeply wanted child who does not share your blood.

As someone who found out the hard way - 100% fully agreed. I loved my father (mother too) very much, and they, me.

And now that I know the truth and they have both passed, we can never talk about it, and there is a thorn of resentment that, frankly, I do not know if I will ever be able to fully remove.

I'm wondering if all the resources that went to Wayland for the past TEN years were directed to slowly evolve X11 to the same direction we would be in a worse or better situation.
It seems to me very similar to the Python2/Python3 debacle.

What pisses me off more than anything else is having to replace a lot of tools there are working perfectly with xorg but are not compatible with wayland.

A few example

* Window manager (of course)

* taking screenshots

* setting desktop background

* Intercepting multimedia key (e.g. volume handling)

* using redshift to set the screen temperature

* ...

Yes, I know that I'm using an unconventional setup, but the freedom to do that was one of the reasons that attracted me to a unix environment. Redhat is working very hard to change all of that for a "year of the linux Desktop" that (in my opinion) will never come.
Whoa. Anyone have any ideas for use cases? The article mentions manipulating tiny materials - like what? How would that work?
> Are people really that fragile?

It's not fragility, so much as perspective.

When you are thinking something is simple, and you say "Am I'm thinking I'm impressed with my own cleverness?" it's easy to say "no". Because it's not arrogant to think you can accomplish something simple.

When you are thinking something is simple, and you say "Am I assuming simplicity?" it's easy to say "yes".

Realizing you're committing the fallacy is the first step to avoiding it.
BMI uses height and weight to estimate body fat % because those were the easiest statistics Quetelet had access to. There's speculation that BMI is effectively a proxy for waist size, given assumptions about body shape (how high the person's waist is) and density (fat to muscle and bone ratio).

Waist-circumference-to-height ratio is a proven predictor of cardio health, and is only slightly harder to measure than BMI. Waist-to-hip-ratio is another strong predictor for health outcomes, and can flag people with a normal BMI that have an elevated mortality risk.
Given that regulations were once written, I got to think that regulations can change. If there's a technology that really works, and people really want/need it, and it solves the expensive problem of connecting rural communities, I don't see regulators just being like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 'Yeah, that'd be cool, but law's the law! We already printed these books!'

And if other countries have it and it prevents yours from 'staying competitive', important people pay attention.

And if that civic approach doesn't work, some rich farmer tells his senator buddy on a hunting trip that he wants Starlink to watch Netflix in the woods, and the senator tells the regulator to make it happen.

I'm ready for a post-Apple world. Fine attention to detail in the user experience of their products, but at the expense of a pernicious ecosystem that traps you in and works with nothing else. It feels weird to say it, but I much more prefer Microsoft and their recent culture change. They're putting xbox gamepass on non-Microsoft devices, their own PC games on Steam, open sourcing their software, building world class android apps. I don't care how many Jony Ive's you've got, it's the openness and willingness to work with others that I want.
Yes everyone knows where it came from, but the FOSS communities continued screeching and pot banging with that phrase and Microsoft is both tired, played out, and near pointless considering what Google is actively doing to the software world right now.

What do you mean you “could see it”? Apple have been using their own cpus for iPad and iPhone, Apple TV, Watch and iPod touch, for a decade.

They’ve been calling them “desktop class performance” for a long time now, and they’ve included an Apple processor in their laptops in recent years for driving the touchbar and TouchID.

The A12X Bionic gets roughly the same Geekbench score as an Intel i5 8400 in both single and multi core benchmarks, and with an Nvidia Gt 1030 equivalent GPU performance and lower power use.

The idea of them switching entirely isn’t infeasible, it seems to me that they’re pushing hard to be able to have it as an option soon - a few years.
My comment indicates that the world is complicated and that we don't need to paint people's behaviors are unreasonable just because they happen to be unlawful.
My prediction:

The latency will be top-notch, but only if they strictly limit total traffic. So, streaming will probably cost way too much for normal people, unless they can contrive to cache copies of the absolutely most popular stuff on all the birds. Then, everything big but not cached will be super expensive, throttled, or actually forbidden.

Of course they will charge the publishers for caching, by spot auction, and the publishers will use a good chunk of their allotment to cache ads.

RDP something like RDP is the correct answer - I thought it worked by effectively streaming GDI calls over the network - well that and whatever they used to replace GDI for 3D enhancements.

I'd agree with you for modern applications that are not well written, I've been running X applications over the network however for 20 years or so, and outside of things like.. well 3D applications, network X works pretty well - my only real complaint was not including sound too.

Yes. I wish I hadn't made the comment. I think it's just obvious that certain classes of products and companies that build them that have longer planning cycles

Maybe rossdavidh's comment was reasonable in general. But with Apple you have a long term CEO under essentially no pressure for succession. You have product cycles that are going to push two years. You have supply chains that are going to involve dozens or more firms. You have a premium luxury brand. There is so much working against the idea that Apple, specifically, is make short term decisions at the expense of the long term. Still, Apple is not special, per se. It's executing astonishingly well, but I'd expect other capex heavy companies (auto manufacturing, vertically integrated oil e&p, and other hardware-weighted electronics, among others) to approach similar classes of decisions with similar care.

Part of the reason I regret engaging is because this thread is pretty far off topic. This is a low volume product and it's going to an existing partner. It's a minor decision and say nothing about stability in the US or China. The only reason it's getting coverage is because it moves their only US manufacturing to Taiwan or Shanghai.

edit: rossdavidh - I think we're wading a bit too far into hypotheticals. Moving Mac Pro production to Quanex closer to their existing supply chain is not an example of the behavior you described (but I won't deny happens)

Most nuclear power sources for space stuff works by Peltier effect. See Radioisotope thermoelectric generator.

radio-isotope decay -> heat -> Peltier stack -> electricity.

Advantages: no moving parts, no vibration, infinitesimal mass change, exceedingly reliable. 'Small'

Disadvantage: Efficiency kinda crummy at ~5%. Slowly loses output as fuel decays and the Peltier stack degrades.
The license is irrelevant. GPL code is useless if nobody uses it.

Still not sure I understand what you mean. If you have a slower USB, slower card reader, or slower card, all components are bound by that speed. The USB 3 supports a much faster than the card speed; I'm guessing most readers are similar speed. The cards themselves are the limiting factor here.
You probably haven't been in tech long enough to know what that means.

Are you on Magento 1 or 2? We've been building a site in Magento 2 and while the number of joins, hassle with re-indexing performance, and lack of null vs zero vs empty string handling in the flat tables are all very annoying, the actual site is quite fast with all the caching turned on on a server with enough gerbils behind it.

My main complaint with Magento 2 is with the feature that is it's biggest selling point: its flexibility. The fact that any public method on any class is wrappable/replaceable, and that any class in the system can be replaced wholesale, and any javascript or any template in the system can be wrapped or replaced, from anywhere, by any module, at a distance, just makes the whole thing a huge cluster to deal with once you get any number of 3rd party modules.

> why does the argument always apply "to the executives," and not all of the employees down the line that signed off on a given decision

Because the executives are given a lot of power over those employees, they are paid accordingly, and they are privy to far more information to aid them in taking a decision.

A CEO is paid over 300 times more than the average worker. [0] Multiply that by a factor to represent the authority of the position, and the acute awareness of what those actions represent and you should get the magnitude of the difference in accountability.

> giving employees a right and duty to call out bad behavior.

You already have this right. But you either do it to the authorities at great personal expense (in any way you can imagine) and with far higher burden of proof, or you do it internally in front of another executive. There is no incentive to take any action because the executive will always have the company as a shield in front of the law.

Writers Guild Accuses Agencies of Collusion in Cease-and-Desist Letter
The elevated levels of PPA are linked to a dysbiotic gut bacteria imbalance, with ASD children exhibiting more bacteria that produce PPA. I'd imagine if you're not eating PPA in excess of your body's ability to metabolize it you're fine.

Regarding the second half of your comment, I'll cite from the etiology article I linked:

> In the concluding sentences of their analysis, Witters and Debold make their strongest argument for the connection between propionic acid and ASD by observing that, given the rates of PA [proprionic acidemia] and of ASD occurrence in the general population, the probability of there being no link between the two pathologies is 4.34 in 10 trillion. Put differently, comorbid incidences of PA and ASD are far more common than should be expected between two unrelated diseases, meaning that there is most likely a link between the two.
Is Morality Hard-Wired into Our Brains?(Book Review)
At a minimum when an employee gets punished we should also take a close look at the chain of command and work environment. Very often it's the executives setting up a dysfunctional environment where it's hard for the little guy to do the right thing.

Speaking of within, I fibbed slightly about Arizona.

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

The Navajo Nation is within Arizona's boundaries, and it does observe DST. And the Hopi Reservation is within the Navajo Nation, and it does not observe DST.

And since Arizona is surrounded by California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Mexico, all of which do observe DST, that means you have an island of no-DST (Hopi) inside an island of DST (Navajo) inside an island of no-DST (Arizona) inside an area of DST (adjoining US states plus Mexico).

not really, that's an eight core CPU (and also a mobile part). I'm very interested to see how the lower core count Ryzen 2s compare to their Intel counterparts in single-thread, but part of what's so impressive about the (early) 3900X/3950X results is that they offer this kind of performance with more cores and at a consumer-friendly price point.

you're right that Skylake is an old design at this point, but intel invites this kind of comparison when they can't manage to ship an HCC version of their latest tech. entirely fair, imo.
