My point is that XWayland, for various reasons, does not replicate X11 fully. So yeah, I can open something like Xnest/Xephyr. At that point, the utility value of Wayland drops ridiculously heavy from my point of view.
>Do you also genuinely believe think Hitler Adolph was gassing Jewish people out of a real concern for sneaky backstabbing, and Stalin Joseph did the same to many more nations he purged? Punch yourself in the face, get real.

Yes, Hitler did have a concern for "sneaky backstabbing" - as did most Germans after losing WWI. It even has a name, Dolchstoßlegenden. It wasn't a correct idea, and it was doubly incorrect to pin it to the Jews, but there's no great dispute that both officials and people believed it.

Does it come a surprise to you that Hitler was actually an antisemite? Did you think he mearly killed 6+ million people as an excuse to come to power while not believing it (not to mention he was already in power when he put that in process).

So, no, it wasn't just a "convenient scapegoat". People did (and do) believe those things, including leaders. Including racist, imprisoned, and disillusioned by a war defeat leaders.

In fact not just Hitler, but tons of people all across Europe, the US, Russia, etc, believed in such "jewish" plots, and still do, which is what fed the pogroms for example.

As for Stalin, he was indeed concerned of separatism from USSR, and he did want to have a good hold on Ukraine as it was an important food producing area.

>Do you think that Xi, and Co. give any real f..k for feeling of Han Chinese? Get real.

Yes. But then again, I don't believe in cartoonish evil characters.
this RFC describes a type of resource, it does not care about how it will be processed. For example you could use the iban number for your "pay with stripe" buttons like this :

`<button data-payto="payto://iban/123456789">pay with stripe</button>

then you use stripes javacript library to handle it. if you do this you can trivially use multiple gateways at the same time in a flexible way.

Why SuperMemo/Anki Is More Than a Memorization Tool (1) Introduction
> Whenever I had a chance to run on nvidia binary drivers, the only things I occasionally missed were some new features, or having to wait a bit longer to update the kernel. Stability was better, drivers more performant, and I don't remember daily fighting with memory leaks.

I had a Nvidia Riva TNT2 and later on an Nvidia GeForce. I ran Linux on it.

I had stability issues with the driver, but I solved it the following way: ran one X server with a DE, and another X server with Nvidia's proprietary driver (mostly for games). This way, if I had to kill the X server using Nvidia's driver I didn't lose any work.

If that wasn't enough, all the bloody time there were massive security problems found in Nvidia's proprietary driver. I don't know if that is still the case, cause I switched away to ATi in the 00s, and Intel graphics cards + ThinkPad as laptop. ATi/AMD has come a long way ever since. Their FOSS drivers are stable, and they deliver (see various Phoronix benchmarks).
Here's an accurate summary of the legal profession:

"But most of all, the legal profession has failed. Democratic governance depends upon responsible individuals throughout the entire system who understand and uphold the law, not who understand and exploit it. On average, lawyers have become so deeply corrupt that it is imperative for major changes in the profession to take place, far beyond the meek proposals already on the table. To start, the term “legal ethics,” upon which codes of conduct and licensure are nominally based, has become an oxymoron. Mossack Fonseca did not work in a vacuum—despite repeated fines and documented regulatory violations, it found allies and clients at major law firms in virtually every nation. If the industry’s shattered economics were not already evidence enough, there is now no denying that lawyers can no longer be permitted to regulate one another. It simply doesn’t work. Those able to pay the most can always find a lawyer to serve their ends, whether that lawyer is at Mossack Fonseca or another firm of which we remain unaware. What about the rest of society?" [1]

You took the time and effort to use a bunch of ad hominems to try to discredit my links, and yet you didn't address the data at all. Does the fact bother you that much that Sweden's all-cause mortality for 2020 is going to be completely unremarkable from a historical and statistical point of view?

(Ok, third lowest mortality in recorded history is actually pretty remarkable, but it's also just the natural consequence of a decades long increase in life expectancy.)

Walking makes me anxious. It's just too slow and makes me feel stuck in a place. Cycling, however, has the opposite effect. It allows me to move around quickly and effortlessly, it gives a a sense of freedom and just melts any anxiety away.
Wow, I had not spotted this yet.

Omitting a comma turns an amount with Euro Cents to 100 times the amount here in Germany. I can both see this comma/dot problem be missed in development and can also imagine such a payment go through, as a few digit amount times one hundred still gives an amount that people can have in their bank accounts. Users clicking through confirmation dialogs and dismissing wrong information as 'computer problems' is not an unheard-of problem either.

This is really inviting trouble - without good reason? - as a payment 'API' having to deal with how a number was displayed to a user seems out of scope for it.
Ah, ok. So they should change the name to make that more clear (I think that has been discussed). Because it really is "video-and-audio-dl".
No.

I'd argue the biggest problem with noise pollution, which does a lot of harm to people and the environment, is it's logarithmic scale.

The fact that the Windows desktop works reliably with basically zero issues and the Linux desktop is a complete mess is quite a compelling reason to use Windows surely? I can't see Microsoft giving away that advantage, even if it were technically possible, which it probably isn't.
American cities are clustered differently than European ones, it's not something that can be easily quantified, it really takes some time looking at the maps to understand what I am talking about, as it doesn't seem like my explanations are doing the job. Looking at the footprints this way is simplistic but maybe helpful:

https://external-preview.redd.it/W-GAALExjeE8w0aXg7Kh0gOAHcl...

For example, Paris is one of Europe's largest cities and yet it has a footprint comparable to Cleveland, a city with less than 1/5 the population. Meanwhile, the population density of Ohio is over 5 times as high as France.

I never said high speed rail is impossible, just that there are a unique set of challenges in developing such a network in the US. I'm a huge fan of public transportation and HSR, we just need to be realistic and pair it with smart urban/regional development.

One important point to note in these discussions is that X.Org is a specific implementation of the X11 protocol (the canonical implementation as it happens).

Wayland is the protocol and compared to X11 in this context. There are multiple implementations including:

1) Weston (the reference implementation)

2) Mutter (Gnome)

3) Kwin (KDE, also implements X11)

It's important to draw the distinction as many/most of the limitations people come across are in the implementation not with the protocol. People using different implementations will come across different issues too.

We implemented KISS state machine based on TCP timeouts and server response.

Pseudocode:

Send msg to server
if socket timeout:
reinit socket and send again
Recv from server
if recv.msg != 'ok':
send again
else
remove msg from storage

One message has from few to few hundreds Kilobytes. Messages are stored and sent as custom binary data for better compression (better that protobuffs).
ZMQ takes complexity of raw tcp sockets away and this is what we needed it for. As much and as little.

Yes please don't read that as an implication that by default that 1) All religious people are moral 2) all non-religious are not. My point was more of the fact of the outlook the two views seem to produce. The reality is Atheism did not produce an MLK or a Ghandi, rather it has produced Nihilism and Nietzsche from its fruits. There is nothing wrong with that, without ying there cannot be yang. I was just highlighting (in my other post) that as observers we can actually choose how we see reality.

Some of that choice may appear delusional, or may in fact be delusional, but does not make it any less real to the observer. Take for example the monks that claim enlightenment, they believe suffering is an illusion and that basically you just have to not believe in suffering to not suffer. This could be deluded thinking and sounds crazy on the surface, until you see one of them trance and ignore the most extreme pain. Their delusion manifests itself into reality just by their will.

There is similar delusional thinking that comes from Atheistic points of view and they have had real world manifestations. I am hesitant to name some of them due to the fact that it will look like I am claiming them atheism is not a moral choice. Which is not the intent.
practically speaking this kind of bugs gets detected immediately and is corrected immediately. so in reality, it's not that dangerous.
It's just not true. Like saying all our athletic prowess is being spent on selling shoes. That's how they make their money but it's a small amount of effort from the athlete. Most of their effort is focused playing their sport.

Similarly, only a small percentage of Google/Facebook's effort go towards ads. Most of it goes toward building products, languages, tools, and more.
I don't think so. The focus assist light is (as the name implies) just a light that gives more visisibility and thus assistance to the existing (constrast/phase) autofocus. Not different than opening a window or switching on a light at the location.

Whereas LiDAR can be used to focus all on its own (without even engaging phase/contrast focus). Of course it can be combined too.

In other words, the difference is focus assist is just a light (which doesn't do anything else), where lidar actually measures focus distance.
"Functional programming" is a useful description for techniques/approaches. The unifying principle tends to be (a) semantics based on definition and substitution of values/expressions (e.g. no ambient state/context) and (b) 'direct' evaluation strategy for expressions (e.g. no search, like in logic programming).

"Functional language" is less concrete; it's just an informal way to imply how easy or awkward it is to use these techniques in a particular language (e.g. bash is "less functional" than ML).

Well, it works on FF and certain builds of chromium (those built with ENABLE_PIPEWIRE flag on). I am using xdg-desktop-portal-wlr and it works quite good. I was able to present my desktop to others without significant hiccups. Once Electron enables Ozone (and builds with PIPEWIRE on) we will be able to use screen sharing also on teams and other electron-packaged apps. This obviously works for my workflow and I understand it won't work for everyone. I don't know about Zoom, but I heard (and thus not entirely sure) it works only on specific distros with some specific GNOME versions.

EDIT. I misread Slack for Zoom.

I don't drive. I walk everywhere (combined with public transport for longer distances). I don't think it's a super power as such, but it does keep me relatively fit with little intentional effort. Going from A to B just includes an incidental light workout. Gives me time to think, to unwind, sometimes to read. Can recommend it to pretty much everyone. Some things might take a little longer, but if you have to dick around on HN or watch Netflix, you have time to walk to places.
You wouldn’t even necessarily need git/github to implement a new system! Agree on a standard file name like .githeartbeat containing a timestamp. Every few months (or w/e), active maintainers could push a commit to update the timestamp.

So let's start a constructive discussion here:

What are the next steps for the community?

- Should we re-locate to a different space?

- Shall we wait until a lawsuit has been filed?

- Shall we wait until we have a legal response?

The good thing is that the website https://yt-dl.org is sill up, and the original author seems to have control over it. If there is some coordination behind it, I don't see why the community could not re-locate to a different place, where it is less likely to be sabotaged by what seems to be an inappropriate DMCA takedown.
We need to consider the very real possibility that the people defending Facebook here are shill accounts. Facebook's privacy abuses are well known.

First, let me challenge the premise: the list of popular Haskell projects on GitHub is far longer than you might expect. Pandoc isn't even the most popular one: https://github.com/search?q=language%3Ahaskell+stars%3A%3E10...

But there still may be some truth to the claim. A simple fact is that smaller mind share -> fewer programs -> less chance for extremely successful projects. From personal experience: it took me three tries and multiple months to get comfortable enough with Haskell to the point that I was able to write my first contribution to pandoc (the org-mode parser), despite having dabbled in functional-style Lisp for years before that. But Haskell, as used by pandoc, isn't difficult. In fact, I often find it easier to use Haskell, thanks to its excellent type system. It's just very different and requires a bit more investment up front, with huge benefits lurking down the road.

Data to support my claim that Haskell is actually easy to use: over 300 people have contributed to pandoc, with over 100 contributing Haskell code. Many of those contributors have never written any Haskell before, but the type system helped them to find their way.

Most of the strangers who will aproach you on a political topic in public usually want you to sign something, or they are outright lunatics who try to drag you into their world.

Even having a political conversation with a friend in a place you can be overheard carries a certain amount of risk.
This leaves higher application code to handle duplicated messages. It also does not handle cases where the client connects later than the server send, but would still like to receive the server messages. It also doesn't handle rate control (overwhelming the network).

These may all be fine for your application, and then 0mq is an excellent fit. But I think that for most applications, having some kind of pre-implemebted solution to all of these problems, even with slightly more overhead, is extremely valuable.
You can use a Kobo offline, see this guide [1]. A Kobo runs Linux under the hood, IIRC Android (probably some old version which is why I keep my WLAN offline and only allow on guest network. This also helps with battery). You can also install custom applications on it, for example Cool Reader [2].

A ReMarkable you can just SSH into. Which seems far more friendlier for customization, but its also a different price class and purpose.
