Well, I knew what I was signing up for when I decided to switch from X to Wayland, so I'm personally okay with it. It's the same with doing anything that isn't mainstream, such as my decision to use Linux in a workplace where a lot of stuff is Windows-first, and sometimes Windows-only. The best thing the iPhone did to the world was to make web applications more popular, and as long as Safari lags on web standards it pushes websites to not use Chromium-only features and give Firefox users like me a chance.

Anyway, a less convoluted setup might be to use the browser version of Teams in a browser where it allows you to screen-share, ie Chromium and not Firefox. IIRC when I tried it a few months ago people on the call said they could only see me broadcasting a black screen, but I know the browser is fine so it had to have been a Teams issue. Maybe it's fixed now.

Hopefully these applications will catch up soon. As another example, Zoom's native Electron application uses a GNOME-specific method of screen-sharing which doesn't work in non-GNOME DEs, but I've heard the browser version works fine.
>A more alarming trend, Fu says, is that nationalistic users are now mobilizing hundreds or thousands of people to report on people with political views they oppose and thus pressure Weibo to “kill” their accounts. According to Chow, this tactic is reminiscent of Cultural Revolution–style purging of political rivals. When enough people report on the same account, there is little doubt that censors will delete it.

I think that comic understates the amazingness of the adaptation.

The honeybees don’t just swarm the hornets, they will actually retreat into the hive and allow the hornets to enter, then trap them inside while they roast them to death. All of this works because the honeybees can vibrate themselves to a temperature just warmer than the hornets can tolerate, which is also just less than the bees can tolerate. Just one or two degrees celsius of tolerance is the difference.

Hopefully no Asian giant hornets ever evolve a slightly higher temperature tolerance!
You make valid points and I don't know why are you downvoted. But Twitter is not a journalism play, it is a platform play and purported to be neutral. If there is blatant supression then they will antagonize atleast 50% of Americans which would be terrible for their bottom line.

Fair point, though that is arguably the only situation involving electricity (besides heating the room itself which doesn't involve heat capture) in which you're actually trying to generate heat.

This is a fun way to avoid the actual thing we should talk about: We have systemic issues in our society that make people sick. Treating impacted mental health exclusively as a cause in and of itself - a personal issue - is a serious oversight, especially when we know those that have to fear for their survival living paycheck to paycheck are at much, much greater risk.

I'm sure you can think of different social developments that relate to this too if you're a hardline "you are responsible for your own situation" capitalist without much thought given to individual privilege. There's plenty of others. Let's take social media incentivizing only sharing positive things, leading to bias when comparing your situation to others, for instance.

The current system is a band aid on top of structural issues, nothing else. No amount of CBT and SSRIs can fix these.
> If you polled all Democratic voters, 90%+ would say they are left and liberal.

Or, in the real world, a bit fewer than half would say they are “liberal” or “very liberal”. Because that's something that's polled on quite frequently, so there is real data:

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/01/17/liberals-ma...

It's true that in popular, as opposed to politically sophisticated, conversation in the US, a one-dimensional spectrum where the left and right poles are liberal and conservative is popular, and it's true that partisans on both sides like to portray the opposing party as more ideologically unified and extreme on that axis than it is, so that if you polled Republicans, they'd probably come close to identifying Democrats as consistently both left and liberal.
The regulations are not rocketry/FAA/explosives regulations that the NAR deals with, but rather munitions export regulations. Specifically, guidance systems are munitions and therefore are regulated under ITAR Category IV, which means a US resident cannot export the technology by, for example, putting it in a public GitHub repo.

What happened to to the ClickZ's source code after the project shutdown?
> But the DOJ wants to argue that

No. That's NOT what the DOJ wants to argue. Yes, the complaint itself does refer to market share, but it doesn't specifically refer to "92 percent of the world's internet searches". In fact, the complaint refers to market share within the United States, since that's geographically relevant to the case. What happens elsewhere isn't. [1]

[1] https://s.wsj.net/public/resources/documents/GOOGLEANTITRUST...

This is what the NYTimes wrote:

> The Justice Department, which is asking for a court injunction preventing Google from entering into deals like the one it made with Apple, argues that the arrangement has unfairly helped make Google, which handles 92 percent of the world’s internet searches, the center of consumers’ online lives.

92 percent links to a report by statcounter.com [2]. That's the NYTimes making a claim about Google's market share and linking to a source.

If you read the sentence even more carefully, you'll see the word "which" appear twice. "Which" grammatically denotes a non-defining clause from the perspective of the writer. It's information that you could remove without altering the core of the sentence: [3]

"The Justice Department argues that the arrangement has unfairly helped make Google the center of consumers’ online lives"

More importantly, "which" is gramatically used from the perspective of the writer to give a bit of non-essential background to the sentence. And so, what is absolutely NOT being said here, is that the DOJ claims that Google holds a 92 percent market share.

One of our business processes is to scan checks when customers pay and attach the image as part of the record in QuickBooks. We use a sheet of paper folder to redact the numbers of the bottom of the check. Our scanner refuses to color copy some client checks, namely from a govt agency and a startup. Thankfully we can still copy with grayscale. When this happens, we have to fully power off the scanner and boot it back up again. Best I can tell it's this pattern/hologram that triggers it.

For the same reason, I had trouble making a digital copy of my daughter's birth certificate. Before I found the gray scale trick, I ended up taking a photo with our iPhone instead.

I’ve been using Go professionally for a while now, since before the first GopherCon, which I think was back in 2014. Coming from a mainly Ruby and JavaScript world, Go was a vast improvement over what I had been used to. The compiler was fast, the language was simple, and the concurrency patterns were nice. Writing backend HTTP APIs was pretty simple and I was happy.

I’ve always loved playing with languages, so over the same period of time Rust was a language I’d often tinker with. It never really felt great for web stuff, but I kept going back to it to toy around with maybe a CLI here and there.

Fast forward to the pandemic and I found myself with a lot more free time at home, coupled with a newly mature async story in Rust, and everything changed for me. The error handling due to algebraic types is phenomenal (particularly with the ‘anyhow’ and ‘thiserror’ crates), rust-analyzer in my emacs is awesome, type safe SQL with sqlx is amazing, cargo is great, compiler error messages are super clear, and the list goes on.

I just started a new project with a client and the backend is written in Go, and honestly it’s a bit of a let down having to go back to it. It’s totally fine, it just doesn’t feel beautiful to me. Seeing empty interfaces with type casting makes me cringe (I mean it always has) and I’m really going to miss the Rust error handling. Thankfully a lot of this project I’m going to be able to use AWS lambda for and I’ll just use TypeScript since the front end team is using it there (no one is comfortable with Rust).

tldr; Go is a simple language that will let a team get things done and it’s easy enough for any developer to onboard with it. But personally I wouldn’t reach for it ever again because of Rust (and even TypeScript).
Atom vs. RSS
I was going to say these reminded me of that Space Wreck book series - wish they would go back into publication, they were really popular during their run but unfortunately the kind of books that got passed around a lot and acquired a lot of wear, so it’s hard to find them in good condition.

One of the things I really enjoyed about the Riddick movies was the alien planets actually looking alien instead of like Canadian forestland. (Or gravel pits if you remember ‘70s Dr Who episodes).
The beauty of the software world is that "abandonware" can live on for decades.

Let the impatient get on with beta-testing today's developments, and I'll get around to using them 20 years from now, when only the good stuff remains.

I still do most of my writing and publishing work from Windows 95 and Me, and I love it, because everything is a solved problem, and no new patches to break things are coming out.

Keeping it within NAT and VM is plenty secure enough for my purposes, and IE6 is plenty enough modern for me.

At least I can still read my config files.
> Even function names remain intact in some cases, which I assume would not happen if they had a malicious intent like embedding a backdoor.

For what it's worth, this is a bad assumption.

Someone hiding bad behavior from a reverse engineer wants it to be in friendlyMisnamedFunction, not in lkjwer23_aic. If you remove all the English semantics from the binary, a reverser is free to focus on the behavior; if you don't, you can lure them into a false sense of security.
Having an EFI shell binary on a USB stick can be incredibly useful when you're troubleshooting boot issues. I went down this rabbit hole because the Thinkpad X1 Tablet doesn't play nice with GRUB when there's no keyboard attached, but if you setup entries directly in EFI you can select a boot partition using the touchscreen. There used to be precompiled binaries floating around in the tianocore Github repo, but it looks like the link has gone dead.

I think you’re confused about what or who “the left” is; corporate media and the liberal party in the US (the Democrats) are not leftist in anyway; a writer like Matt Taibbi is a leftist or has leftist leanings. But as is very clear from this article, there is clear disagreement between leftists and the party they are forced to vote with if they want any semblance of representation.
Stigma is a huge problem, especially when initially seeking help. Burnout took years to be added to diagnostic manuals, and still people are scoffing whenever someone drops out after being worked to the bone for months.

I had trouble reading this as well. It appears the author has trouble forming coherent thoughts. The article kept trying to pull in all sorts of directions all the time, a sort of lack of focus to do one thing: work on your point. (Ironic, perhaps?)
Second order thinking means both tactics have value and merit, right? If not, I am open to hearing why.
Yes, he mentions frequently that he's concerned about ITAR. Under a strict reading of the Munitions list and ITAR regulations, rocket guidance software is a Category IV Munition and can't be exported. Unfortunately (as we learned from the crypto wars of the 1990s, when strong encryption was also a Munition), the US government takes quite a strict view towards the consideration of online-available source code as "export."
Yeah, as soon as I saw Unity, I jumped ship from Gnome, and soon after, Debian.
This has been the worst thing for me about suddenly working from home, the sudden loss of my daily commute and lunchtime walks that had a purpose and couldn't be skipped. It took me far too long to realise the damage this sudden reduction had on my body, not just my fitness, but also things like circulation. I've been trying to factor in more intentional walking into my day, but somehow it's not the same as walking with a purpose.

I'm getting there, but forming new habits can be surprisingly hard, especially when family commitments get in the way.
Google doesn't have to ensure, the government does.
If this is what they meant, then the usefulness of the statement is even more questionable. If more than half of mobile devices are iOS, then your prior expectation would be that more than half of traffic would come from those devices.

Sorry, I never used any custom firmware on our Kobos. You see, I keep them offline, so I'd care less about security vulnerabilities in them (plus if they go online, its via guest network). Also, I am very content with the software on our Kobo readers (Aura One and Aura Two). I do use Calibre + USB sometimes. What am I missing out on?

There is also the story that the FBI was sitting on this since December (potential for blackmail in case Biden is elected? who knows) which is scary as well.

In the end, I think it's endemic in having human corruptible politicians who can accentrate power.
We will minimise this problem only if we decentralise the structure of powers in our society.

The problem is that if you were going to rewrite a display server from scratch you would probably want to implement Wayland over X11. X11 is barely a protocol anymore because Xorg is so dominant, you either do what Xorg does bug-for-bug and with all the extensions or apps will break.

Nice article, but there are several issues with the older ARM MMU concept, and as some Linux distros does not support x86 32 bit anymore, I think we should move on, and forget about the classic ARM MMU.
In our OS Threos ( https://threos.io ) on ARM we are only support LPAE (Large Physical Address Extension).
The classic ARM MMU 1kb page size is just too small, needs too much accounting does not worth it.
BTW as I remember on iOS ARM the minimum page allocation size is 16kb.

It would seem the commenters on this site are mostly Americans who don’t know that their two-party system only represents two flavors of pro-capitalist neoliberalism. But left and right political spectrum and the corresponding terms have meaning outside of the limited political window of centre-right US mainstream discussion.
Developers willing/able to work on X11/Wayland plumbing are a (very) finite number. A single developer can have a large impact. With more of them switching their primary efforts to Wayland, the past few years have seen large improvements in the landscape, and this trend is bound to continue.

Granted, there are rough edges, and I wouldn't claim any Wayland compositor is as polished as an X11 one -- but we're not that far off, and for many people the benefits of running a Wayland session today outweigh the cons.

They could leave one guy in the station to drive the engine to the fire and drive the rest of the crew in the small van to the fire, where they then man the engine.

There is probably more to it, but at least the way you describe it doesn't sound convincing.

Also I should add the in the previous cities I lived in they of course didn't do that. They just used small vans for medical emergencies. Originally when I moved here i thought it was burning a lot more when I saw all those engines on the street all the time, but it wasn't that.

My suspicion is that it's related to justifying having so much of the big equipment.

But if the big engines are overused too much they likely break down much faster too, driving a vicious circle of needing more and more of them, creating bigger budgets, more power for the fire chief etc.etc.
Pay someone else to ride it.
Why you assume that non-capitalism is the same as communism? Capitalist ideology and communism are extremes, in my opinion there is a healthy balance between them.

Drew, if someone posted a comment saying "there's this Linux feature that's incredibly slow on x86-64", it wouldn't be a refutation to say "it's fast on RISC-V". That would rightfully just produce a response of "that's nice for you, it's still slow on x86-64 and that's what I'm using, so from my perspective the feature is slow in an environment many people use".

If you want this to stop, make GNOME's performance better in the ways you envision, because it is the experience most Linux users get. (Quite a lot of work has been going into GNOME Wayland performance lately.) Arguments about Wayland protocol feature politics don't necessarily make the out-of-the-box experience worse; for many people it's a good "Just Works" experience. Stop telling people they need to switch desktop environments to get a better experience; some fraction of people will go "if I have to switch, I'll switch back to Windows/macOS/etc". A vanishingly small fraction of people will go "oh, sure, I should switch to a different window manager and environment that isn't what I'm used to and doesn't necessarily have the integration I'm used to, and switch my apps to match too; this makes me happy", and those people know who they are already.

When stuff gets paradoxicalish, it can be because the paradigm/model is wrong.

In this case, the model is the economic-legal model formulating monopoly theories and antitrust legislation. They were thinking mostly in terms of factories. Thinking of "barriers to entry" in terms of fixed/marginal costs makes a different kind of sense for factories.

You can't pay an $nbn "fixed cost" price to "build a fb." That's like the old outsourcing joke/prank: Job: Build me an app that makes $1m. Will pay $10k. It also isn't factory unit economics that determines success for a Google, FB or many other modern mega-businesses. Owning 1% of fb's social media traffic does not yield 1% of fb or adwords' revenue. It's more of a "rewards to scale" than an "economies of scale" thing. Revenue goes up. Unit cost may go down, but that's besides the point for fb or adwords ad revenues. The scale itself matters, not the savings it generates.

TLDR: trying to examine google's anatomy using a model based on Bell or Ford circa 1929 will result in confusing questions.

Meanwhile, monopolies have a logic of their own. They're valuable, and therefore worth paying to have. That's how deals like this should be viewed, imo. It's strong circumstantial evidence of monopoly. The deal, in itself, shouldn't be the object of objection.
