Wayland by itself is useless, you need other stuff to get some useful functionality, and the combination of Wayland+other stuff not only give you just a fraction of the functionality you get out of the box with Xorg but they also tend to be bloated silos (in that since Wayland itself doesn't do much it relies on extensions to do actual work but different Wayland implementations use different extensions - in theory X is the same, but in practice everyone has settled on Xorg and even without extensions, X provides enough functionality to allow creating useful applications).

Also for all practical purposes with Wayland you also need XWayland, which means that you get X anyway (especially considering that a lot of simple stuff will rely on X functionality). So might as well stick with X itself and get rid of Wayland as it doesn't provide anything of real value.

The way I use it is really rather boring.

I liked Ruby on Rails, but I didn't like the magic, nor did I like the runtime errors.

That's basically how I use Haskell/Yesod. A better Ruby/Rails.

You certainly can do very interesting things with Haskell, but nothing compels you to. Writing boring software in a boring way with Haskell is totally fine, and works well for my businesses.

I'll clarify though that I'm not suggesting I do OOP in Haskell, if anyone reads that into what I wrote.

The high price of the CHF also has something to do with it. I visited the French-speaking part of Switzerland a couple of summers ago (Geneva and Lausanne) and at some point during that visit I realized that those two cities (and the rest of the Swiss cities, of course) were among a very short list of European cities not directly affected by war in the last 200 years or so. Under these circumstances of course that everyone will be busy giving the Swiss their money and valuables for "safe keeping", which among other things translates into said high price for the CHF.
But the tax doesn't disappear into thin air. People will be hired to fix externalities (e.g. plant trees) or get incentives to buy other stuff that has less externalities. It's not like those money will vanish from the economy.
The Intercept: Operation Amazon Redux
For some perspective Bulgaria, an EU member state, has a population of 7 million and an average salary of around $700 per month, or $8,400 per year. That would put you way below the poverty line in the USA.

Minimum wage in Texas is $7.25 an hour. A full-time minimum wage worker in Texas can surpass the average Bulgarian's monthly wage in under 2.5 weeks.

And that's just the average wage. More than half of the 7 million residents live below that. For every cherry picked colony in Texas, there's several even poorer villages in the post-Soviet states to cancel it out.

> Cutting all meat production (and it's support industries) in USA and EU together, would have an impact of the global emissions of only 1%.

The problem lies in meat production using deforested areas. A lot of processed meat, eg fast food, ready meals, etc, comes from such sources.

As your 2nd link highlights, deforestation & meat production are 2 of the top 3 CO2 emission concerns, so meat imported from such sources is a double hit.

Had anyone switched from Google Cloud Build to GitHub Actions CI? What has the experience been?
We changed the architecture quite a bit during the beta period to address feedback like this. With what's available today you don't need to run all your steps in a container. You _can_ take advantage of containers, but you don't _need_ to. We host Linux, Windows and macOS virtual machines for you to use and you can just define a commands to run on those machines.

We're working on artifact caching between runs now, which I think will also help some of the speed issues that you're referring to.

We really appreciate the feedback; if you do get around to trying it again, I'd love to know more about what we could improve.
France’s healthcare spending is 11.5% of GDP, 4000 euros per capita annually.

Ask HN: How to keep yourself accountable?
Hi HN,

lately I realized I'm struggeling to keep myself accountable, mainly for work I am the main stakeholder in.

When working "after spec" or together with someone else on the same code, I can to stick to it and deliver quality I'm satisfied with.
But as soon as I work for myself my standards, quality and even goals start going down hill. Short term I'm okay with less and sloppy work, and after a while I regrett no doing a better job.

Do you guys have ideas, techniques etc. to deal with this behaviour?

Amazon’s corporate statement has more detail than you claim:

> Amazon today announced the order of 100,000 electric delivery vehicles from Rivian, the largest order ever of electric delivery vehicles, with vans starting to deliver packages to customers in 2021. Amazon plans to have 10,000 of the new electric vehicles on the road as early as 2022 and all 100,000 vehicles on the road by 2030—saving 4 million metric tons of carbon per year by 2030.

It doesn't work even in the movies. Last American movie I watched which featured a drone strike against civilians, involved an advanced AI that recommended not to proceed because of insufficient information, that got overruled by the president. The drone strike hit a wedding, which led to increase in attack on Americans, making the AI attempt to kill the president and most of the US government, following the "protect against all enemies, foreign and domestic" doctrine.

What's the motive for people to get fixed then?

The social contract is you try to fix yourself up, society looks the other way on your old acts.

Of course, on some crimes it makes sense to put some limits directly for directly related stuff. E.g. not employing ex-child-rapists in schools.

But shunning people for their opinion, not even what they acted on, in an unrelated field... What's the incentive in getting in line with the society then?
Thanks. :)

You don't need to install another Linux distribution beforehand, you just need to boot another distribution's live-iso to partition disks and download/unpack KISS.

This is simpler on my side as I don't have to compile and package a heavy kernel, generate an initramfs, build a squashfs and finally package it into an ISO image.

On the user side this enables more flexibility too. You can use a live-iso offering a GUI for "easier" partitioning or an iso in which you _know_ includes the firmware you need for the installation process etc.

The download for KISS is only a 45MB~ tarball and the installation is just unpacking it to your newly partitioned disk at `/`!

This also allows for the same installation tarball to double as a working chroot in existing systems. In my eyes, this method is simpler all round.
There are some initiatives in Europe that let you directly buy ETS certificates (required certificates for industries to allow CO2 emissions). These companies then destroy the certificates, effectively preventing that CO2 from being emitted. The price of them is low now, so even small amounts of money can have an impact.

Any opinions on this?

No, it can't. If you are willing to say that a cow can not jump over the moon, then a strong password can not be brute-forced, even though it might theoretically be possible for a cow to quantum-tunnel over the moon, and it might theoretically be possible that an attacker guesses your password. The probability is so vanishingly small that you would call it impossible in any other context.

Sorry, but this is just wrong. The original source [0] quoted in the article says:

> jetzt ist erstmal Pause

> Das Daimler in Zukunft wieder die Entwicklungsarbeit an Verbrennern aufnimmt, sei aber nicht ausgeschlossen.

So it's a "pause", not a stop, and Daimler explicitly say that they may resume developing ICEs in the future, not just of "specific parts" like the article claims.

The fact that the article is by "electrek", whose name clearly implies a bias towards electric motors, should make anyone suspicious.

PS: I have nothing against electric cars. But this article is simply overreaching in its conclusions, and seems to me to be more in service of its own agenda than the truth.

What Makes Silicon Valley Different?
I'm not a physician and could be wrong, but is not necessarily a voluntary overdose/suicide IMO. Looks like an accumulative problem.

Valeriana root is a sedating but also has the effect to slow the ratio degradation of substances on liver. The liver is coping with more substances/drugs etc on a given time and the result is like a tetris effect. Drugs do not have enough time to exit the body. I assume that this could lead to overdose even with a schedule of taking supposedly safe doses. Drugs accumulating in liver could eventually lead to hepatic failure and overdose. Liver and Kidneys are related so if the liver is too busy could just send more unprocessed substances to kidneys to be discarded in urine. High doses of drugs arriving to kidneys could make them fail.

At the same time the victim would be sedated and probably not able to react, wake up and go to an hospital

That's a common problem with declaring things "simple", and not only for Linux distros.

Microsoft president: Don't move fast and break things
It's more complicated than that, there is an overlap. (It doesn't exist any more, but it did exist in the 1980s.)

S/370-based supercomputers like the Hitachi S-3800 are both IBM-compatible mainframes AND supercomputers at the same time. The Fujitsu FACOM VP and VP 2000 supercomputer series were also based on IBM-compatible mainframe architecture. In a similar category is the NEC SX-1 (1983) and SX-2 (1985) supercomputers (but not the SX-3 and later), but rather than being S/370-compatible, they are based on an ACOS-4 mainframe architecture, which is a Japanese derivative of GE/Honeywell/Bull GECOS mainframes.

Arguably, 3090+VF belongs to the same category, the mainframe-supercomputer overlap. Technically it is quite similar to Hitachi/Fujitsu/NEC's approaches, in being a mainframe-based supercomputing solution. IBM introduced VF to try to sell mainframes to the supercomputer market. It wasn't very successful, whereas their POWER-based supercomputers were much more successful. On the other hand, Japanese manufacturers like Hitachi that tried the same strategy had significantly more success with it than IBM did.

(I understand from a marketing/PR perspective how vendors want to forget their old unsuccessful products when introducing new ones. Nobody wants to say "this is our 2nd attempt to address this market, the first one was not very successful, hopefully this new one will succeed where the prior one failed" at a new product launch. You just pretend the prior attempt never happened.)

(Going back to the early 1960s, arguably IBM 7030 Stretch and IBM 7950 Harvest are both IBM 7000 series mainframes and supercomputers.)
It is highly likely the investment was because Rivian is the company Amazon decided long ago to order from, not that Amazon is ordering from them because they invested.

I have gigabit up and down via AT&T, most Americans get their internet via their cable company - cable companies always have crappy upload bandwidth around 30Mbps.

People want a reliable service and will pay for it. I have no idea why this concept is forum. Hulu and Netflix publish their numbers every quarter and about 60% of households have Amazon Prime Video (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/amazon-prime-members-59-perce...)

76% percent of households use Netflix (https://www.bestappletv.com/news/more-u-s-households-now-hav...)

It’s also estimated that 40% of households will get Disney+ by 2022 (https://www.fiercevideo.com/video/a-lot-people-are-planning-...)

It doesn’t take too much to understand that enough of the American public values convenience over price to make paying for a service over the hassle of piracy worthwhile.

After having tried to understand what made climate change skeptics skeptical, i’ve stumbled upon this graph (This is just one link, but i’ve seen it in a lot of places) :

https://faculty.ucr.edu/~legneref/bronze/climate.htm
Which gives a very weird feeling about the scale of recent temperature change.

Since the planet have known huge temperature variations in the previous thousands of years ( long before humans emitted co2), and those kind of changes seem to be extremely cyclical, i must say i’m starting to wonder about the current general panic and human activity blaming.

Could anyone here more knowledgeable explain what’s the counter-argument to this « it’s cyclical and huge, and human have very little thing to do with it » skeptical argument ?
Probably not. Have you heard the rhetoric from some of our veterans and citizens. The victims were brown.

Most likely they went home, slept soundly, thinking it was a good day, god and country, etc.

Write yourself a spec.

Even better, follow the full process

1) Problem Identification

2) Requirements Capture

2a) Technology selection (optional)

3) Specification

4) verification and validation

Maybe you do some TDD and mix it up on 3 and 4, but this is the minimum process to meet an intent for a v-model, call it a shallow v.

Try and maintain at least minimum traceability thru the stages, but can easily fit each on a tab on a spreadsheet and link cells across the phases.

Once you get a few done, they are really very little work compared to the benefits yielded.

If you can't articulate what you need, want, how to do and how to check, even if only one stage in advance as you go, then you probably aren't ready to start.

Sometimes it might be instructive to write one to throw away if you aren't sure how it might best pan out, then make the plan for the actual thing.
I find all this talk of mass shootings and gun control pointless.

There are shootings only because shooting is currently most cost-effective. It is not that people want to shoot people, it's that they want to kill people. That is the problem, and banning one single way of killing can not solve this.

There are so many other ways. I sometimes wonder why all those shooters bother to walk and shoot instead of just blowing it all up or burning it all down.

That's what you'll get by banning guns - same idiots but using propane or anfo. Is that what you really want? An idiot with a gun can at least be stopped. You can't stop an explosion or a fire-induced panic.

Or maybe let's focus on why people start wanting to kill people?
My point being, one country's terrorist is another country's freedom fighter. There is some nuance here, but we're talking about somewhat random and indiscriminate murder of civilians who may or may not be connected to a military group in hopes people at large will stop supporting that group. There's a political agenda in there, and there's death of innocent civilians. There's strong element of fear too - I remember reading articles about drone strikes in Pakistan years ago, in which it was reported that the locals developed a fear of clear blue sky. A fear of good weather, because that's when drones come.

If one objects to calling it terrorism because they're really trying to hit the combatants only, and objects to calling it a war crime because technically there's no war with an internationally recognized nation state, then how should we call it?
Unfortunately nowadays the majority of my functions are not referentially transparent.
My view on climate efforts is rather orthogonal: spend less money.

A large part of the damages to the world comes from the consumerism of modern society. Mass tourism destroys pretty places and their social structure, mass farming destroy ecosystems from soils and insects to birds and trees, mass consumption means more pollution and climate change.

I last bought clothes two years ago. I wait for end-of-life before changing what I have (computer, phone, etc). I don't mind taking a quarter an hour to cook a meal, so I mostly buy local raw food, and very rarely meat. I avoid mega stores. On a typical week, I don't use my wallet, only the change that I keep near my home door to buy bread. That is the kind of life I enjoy, and it is sustainable at large scale.
