> Anybody else have thoughts/plans on the future of X if Wayland really does take over?

I have been thinking about this for a few years at least (happy i3wm user).

I am looking at moving to Sway https://github.com/swaywm/sway (drop in replacement) at some point as it seems the development is really healthy. sircmpwn (Drew DeVault) has done a lot of really nice contribution to the FOSS community, in particular wlroots https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots I also thoroughly enjoy reading his blog https://drewdevault.com (articles from there often get posted here) there has been many a time I've read something he's written and thought "hear hear" in my mind.

It is also impacting my purchasing choices in regard to going for AMDGPU instead of NVIDIA for my next system that I plan to buy in a few months (mostly waiting for 3rd party Navi cards at this point).

If we’re asking people to give up their cars, we need to handle all transportation needs, not just the ones that are convenient to serve. Otherwise we still need to pay all the fixed costs of cars and car infrastructure for the cases not served by transit.
Hong Kong reminds me a lot of Ukraine. They both want to be 'modern', 'western' and 'special', rejecting the 'backwards' ways of their imperial leaders. Unfortunately, their economic success was/is wholly dependant on said leaders, and they're shooting themselves in the foot by trying to break away.

No one in the west truly gives a shit about HK or Ukraine. We give them lip-service, but no one will go to war over it. We egg them on to stick it to China/Russia, and they get fucked.

The fact is, Hong Kong's entire success is due to the fact it was an entry point to doing business with China. Protesters have jeopardized that arrangement, Hong Kong will never see the same level of economic success (relative to China) again. Much like Ukraine which, without Russia as a partner, is now one of the poorest countries in Europe with a GDP per capita half that of Belarus', and a quarter of Russia's.

Hong Kongers want to be special, but they're killing the only thing which allowed them to be successful. After these protests simmer down, the west will forget about them again, having never done anything for them in the first place, and they'll be worse off.

Having programmed both in Haskell and Java, my experience is very different.

In Java you have to "please the compiler" all of the time. Most of the types you add don't help in finding bugs. The type system is not expressive enough for real general types, because subtyping gets in the way.

In Haskell, the experience is very different: Writing down a general type first guides you in writing the code. Or, conversely, writing down the code first and then looking at the inferred type sometimes gives you clues to modify your code to make it better. The Haskell syntax is more terse, so a lot more trivial errors (typos etc.) are caught by the type checker. And the type checker really shines when refactoring code.

And my code is actually not "bug-aversive", I do make a lot of trivial mistakes all of the time. And I'm glad when the type checker catches them.
Every single example of zero sum thinking the author used was of whites and men trying to protect their own interests though zero-sum thinking which I found interesting. The author also seems to ignore that altruistic policies which could garner majority groups indirect benefits are themselves based on zero-sum thinking.

When I hear people justify affirmative action policies and racial and gender quotas some of the most frequent stats I heard bring up is relative income levels, relative employment levels, relative everything. Essentially the argument is based around the idea that "majorities' succeeding must have come at the expense of other groups. Even in say... a field like computing in America which is an economic juggernaut that popped up from nowhere which funnels money into the country... the very fact that more White/Asian/Indian men have gotten more jobs than other groups is framed as a crime against those other groups when this is not obvious. Specific needless discrimination and bias is brought up to bring home an argument that majority groups have been playing a nepotistic zero-sum game to their benefit and others and the greater good of societies detriment by keeping talented people with diverse perspectives down. Which isn't an obviously wrong argument yet the solutions on how to fight against this issue like affirmative action are fundamentally couched in zero-sum thinking. People who oppose it do not have zero-sum bias although they are arguably bias towards selfishness. Those are not the same thing.

I don't believe the author made his argument very well. He's confusing zero-sum bias with other types of bias. Singling out white men in all his examples also makes him come off as acting as if it's one group which has the problem which is unlikely to persuade anybody that it's personally wrong for them to engage in zero-sum bias.

P.S. Is zero-sum thinking truly irrational with the future repercussions of population growth and global warming? Time will tell.
As a contributor to Deno, I am actually quite surprised that this got resurfaced on Hacker news after the hype June last year.

That being said, I suggest checking out this video (recorded this April) for updated information about Deno, since things have changed quite a bit since the initial announcement: https://youtu.be/z6JRlx5NC9E

That was my thinking at first as well. When I heard the name and that it was a pseudonym I thought of two things:

* a shadowy genius from a Dan Brown novel (like Ensei Tankado from Digital Fortress)

* Nicolas Bourbaki (who was a group of people)

But Le Roux is as smart as a group of mathematicians, and is much more the sort of person who would come up with ultralibertarian solutions like Bitcoin (being, you know, a criminal mastermind and all).

> What I hoped for my child to get was familiarity and positive associations with the school concept.

Why? Any Prussian model school will inure them to ranking, tedium, busywork, being ranked and doing things that seem pointless because an authority figure said to as well as another, whether they begin education in a child centred school or not. It’s not like most metro areas even have a child centred school, whether Sudbury, Montessori, Waldorf or other. They’ll learn what school is actually like on exposure to it and develop associations with it based on that whether they went to a child centred school for a brief period or not. The long run effects of beginning schooling in a humane system will fade and the only long run effects will be a few better years in childhood.

I suppose that’s enough justification by itself.

If Russia launched a missile at a Western nation, but it turned out the missile was a dud, so when it hits it does almost no damage, would anyone have the slightest doubt that this was an act of war? It doesn’t matter if the missile does damage, the mere effort of launching is an act of war. Likewise, it does not matter if a Russian intelligence operation is successful.

It's been a long time since I developed in Java but I remember that a webapp and its dependencies can be wrapped into a single .war file. All you have to provide on the server is the JVM and an application server (tomcat, etc.)

I'm working with Elixir now and I only have to apt-get Erlang and Elixir. Everything else is included in the build.

To be fair if we developed some C extension we could need to install some more apt package. That would go into the ansible server setup scripts.

Deployment is not as simple as scp of a file to the server but deployment with distillery is still a single command operation once the deployment configuration file is OK. We're not using docker, which in our case would provide only sandboxing.

it's the freedom to choose within the available options (that is the world as you know it). as kids get older the options expand, and hence learning to make those choices as opposed to taking what is fed to you is really the most important part.

Doesn’t matter which is true. Early educational interventions fade out universally and we have nothing that effects adult intelligence or conscientiousness which explain pretty much all variation in educational attainment, partly through their effect on SES.

> “Heckman curve” update: The data don’t seem to support the claim that human capital investments are most effective when targeted at younger ages.

https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2019/04/06/heckman-cu...

> The Heckman Curve describes the rate of return to public investments in human capital for the disadvantaged as rapidly diminishing with age. Investments early in the life course are characterised as providing significantly higher rates of return compared to investments targeted at young people and adults. This paper uses the Washington State Institute for Public Policy dataset of program benefit cost ratios to assess if there is a Heckman Curve relationship between program rates of return and recipient age. The data does not support the claim that social policy programs targeted early in the life course have the largest returns, or that the benefits of adult programs are less than the cost of intervention.
This is exactly what I've been saying this whole time. I'm glad people are catching on. Just a couple years ago, I was considered a kook for never answering phone calls and only calling back if someone leaves a message. Already, I know of more people who are doing the same thing. More business's, even in the medical industry, seem willing to communicate over email. The writing is on the wall for ye olde telephone system. Everyone in positions of power seem complicit with phone scams, probably because it will effectively force people off it.

Adding to all what been said, the first thing I do is to count the lines of code using cloc, and see the contributors list. There is generally one key person who has the most commits, so it's good to know that person philosophy and style.

By the way, I love Redis' style.

They sure could make an MCAS-free 797 low to the ground with those engines. There are lots of ways.

The popular way is with a T-tail and podded engines off the sides of the rear of the body. Boeing has produced such an aircraft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_717

Another way is with a high-mounted wing. This is popular for military cargo jets, such as the C-5 and C-17.

Putting engines above the wing is an option. Boeing did it for the YC-14, Antonov did it for the An-72, VFW-Fokker did it for the 614, and Honda did it for the Hondajet.

The landing gear could have be made to stick out extra long for the takeoff and landing, but then partially retract for passenger boarding. During passenger boarding, the aircraft could even sit on the engines.
Most things I need to get done can be done in bash. I know it, I am comfortable using it, and everything I log into has it. So it's what I use. Python is great too of course, but I don't really know it- I haven't had a need.

I tried learning Perl once but reverted back to Bash the first thing I needed to do something in a hurry. And, my IDE is also my interpreter. It's pretty hard to argue with. I can just take a one-liner and throw it in a file and now I can distribute it. It's that simple.

I suppose if I could write Python one-liners (maybe you can, I don't know...) and it was as universally installed and configured, I'd use it- if I needed to.

What it comes down to is this: My needs are simple, and if I can't do it in bash, then I'm probably going about it wrong.

What praise do I give to this oppression (China's influence over HK) where people, even a single person out of many thousands, are terrified of revealing their identity in a protest?

It seems unpopular on HN, but there is something that westerners are missing that makes the phrase "Boycott China" sound racist, ignorant and preposterous. Why is it so "wrong" to properly, sternly and unapologetically criticizing China? Even saying things like "I don't support buying Chinese goods" sound insane on HN. WHY!? Why should people praise Chinese economic progress, lifting middle class and giving a middle finger to IP, Shenzhen philosophy of quick business, etc. at the cost of loss of liberty and freedom, and democracy?
For me, it’s incomprehensible how toothless US institutions have become over the past decade — and even more, how okay the American public is with that.

There are no robocalls in Germany, where I reside. It’s a completely non-existing problem. And the FTC would have all the power to stop this right now instead of complaining about it.

If you don‘t believe me, look at what the CAN-SPAM act did to corporate communication (worldwide).

It‘s as easy as slapping a 10.000$ fine on every single robocall that‘s either made by a participant or relayed through an operator network. Problem solved in days.

But hey, it‘s „good for business“ (while probably bad for overall GDP), that explanation seems to always work to keep Americans at bay.

How can I check if I got the settings right? Is there any web app or command or something?
JEE application servers take care of that.
