I am not necessarily against Wayland or new things in general.

But it bothers me when no clear upgrade path is defined ("drop your stuff" is not acceptable) and a half-hassed incomplete solution is proposed instead, and backwards compatibility is pretty much disregarded.

For what concerns my personal computing, I'll stay on Xorg until XFCE supports Wayland. Then I'll update.
Maybe Intel was not cooperative about Connman. Trying to contribute a patch to Connman was the worst patch contribution experience I've ever had. On the official IRC channel, over several days and times of day, there were only people who could tell me about the developers, but the developers were not there. The bug tracker required writing an e-mail to someone at Intel to open an account. I don't remember details about the mailing list, but if I did write to it I was ignored as well. In the end the patch never went in, I had enough. And yes, the patch made sense. Years later I later saw one that seemed to fix my problem in a similar way.

Connman is better at least insofar that it is less code than NetworkManager and that it connects to a Wifi network in under a second instead of several seconds. But I believe it can also do less, for example regarding VPNs and such.
Not GP, but I use Authy, which allows multiple devices, approving each new one with one of the others.

I don't recommend using its browser add-on though, so this only fixes your case if you have two (or more) devices to use that will be active at the same time, so that any one (all but one) can die.

Also, have multiple forms of 2FA (as in any one may be used) such as a FIDO key or printed codes.
In a typical London grocery store (not supermarket) there will be anything between 2 and 7 varieties of fresh chilli, plus 2 or more sweet peppers and probably just one bag of "chilli flakes" of unspecified origin...

They're describing running the computers 100's of meters away with fibre to the robot. But it won't help with motor encoders and sensors that all must be onboard.

Interesting idea though. To some degree is probably possible. No such thing as a rad hardened cmos though
Indeed. And you don't even need to create a PR to "inject" commits into a GitHub repo. You just need to fork it and push to your fork. See https://mathieularose.com/github-commit-injection
NetworkManager can work with iwd, which will give you the quickest available way of connecting to WiFi.

Who are you expecting to provide this for you?
People who have an older computer and want to access newer systems. I helped someone who had an older Mac and wanted to access a university system (Canvas LMS) that required modern technologies. Nothing but Pale Moon worked; the alternative was to ditch the computer, but it was pristine.
I've cloned this to my laptop. I suggest that everyone does the same.
Waylands design is even more broken and leads to common functionality being duplicated and broken all over the place. Each app has to do input handling on its own? Comeon, a 5yearold could tell you that that is a huge design flaw. There are equally problematic design flaws in X11, just less of them and in different areas. Where Wayland tries to get rendering right and botches all the rest, X11 is weird for rendering, but at least has kind-of-ok answers for remoting, input, clipboard, screenshots, etc.
Aye, thanks. Some good leads on the sidebar there too!

I didn't miss it, I just disagree with your attitude.

https://xkcd.com/2368/
It depends on your desktop environment and the applications, because the only compatible parts of Wayland are the dumbest "draw a rectangular window" and simplest input support (assuming your "WM" implemented the input right).

Essentially, what could depend on shared standards and implementations in X11, can't do so in Wayland, and there are two major forks when it comes to protocol extensions, as well as major fork between GNOME and everyone else on topic of Server-Side decorations.
I rather expected more than just two ebook formats on something described as a universal document converter.
Abandonware means "not actively supported" / "no people involved in the project anymore". It does not mean "the maintainers do not adhere to a regular version-bumpy release format that I approve of".
Not sure what you referring to with regards to screenshots as they're working fine for me. I've been using Wayland for a few months now (wayfire which I switched to from bspwm) and overall it's seemed like a huge improvement in terms of smoothness and I have yet to run into any issues. Input seems to work fine even with things like multitouch gestures. I've never tried remoting into my machine graphically but there seem to be working vnc servers for Wayland.
Don't forget about the bitcoins when you do your spring cleaning, and throw it away. That's how I lost bitcoins :P

There is a one-line fix for that. Change this line in /etc/systemd/system.conf:

The fact Apple uses SMS for 2FA tells you everything you need to know: it's pure security theater.
Thanks. I love reading this type of grammar preppie school prose - a communication style designed for elites to recognize another deserving of status. It wasn’t until recently that I learned that most folks didn’t talk this way back then. This style of writing was what Ernest Hemingway “dismantled”. I love both Hemingway and Fitzgerald, btw ... concordantly, of course.
That's awesome! Just installed :)
Microsoft's Wayland based Linux GUI support with WSL2 is in development (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/whats-new-in-the-...) . That'll hopefully be a good solution for that usecase in the not too distant future.

Most of X.Org is horrible and the entire system is unmaintainable. It is hard to even get maintenance releases for it released, as the article alludes to.

Development hasn't stalled because people think X is good. Development has stalled because the fundamental design is so misaligned from the modern graphics stack that improvements are not worth attempting.
Well 77% is domestic roof-top solar, so it doesn't take up any land.

As for the other 23%, according to Wikipedia [1], South Australia has 2 operating solar farms (338 MW installed capacity), which take up 1000 hectares, so 10 km² (which is about 0.001% of the State's land area). SA also has about 2 GW of wind power.

Smart Mask News #22
'[...] but a prominent Intel open-source developer has conceded that the X.Org Server is pretty much "abandonware" with Wayland being the future.'

So? A "prominent US politician" recently conceded that global warming is a hoax by the Chinese, with coal being the future. Should I be doubling over myself to dismantle my solar panels?

Very weasel-wordy article if you ask me.
X11 is fine.
So if I understand this correctly it’s possible for anyone to make someone else liable for copyright or patent violations by creating a PR on their repo then arranging for them to get sued?
I've been using Wayland for 4 years now. I haven't encountered any of those issues.
We will see - this is exactly Facebooks strategy with Instagram right now: Arguing that they have invested so much effort to integrate it with Facebook services (which they were prohibited from) that it would be far too expensive to force them to change it back.
I hope the regulators throw that in their face and order it anyway, but the jury is still out.
perthchat dot org has an interview with an old maintainer about the removal from github.
Come off it, the other part of the name is "dl"

I use YouTube-dl as much as the next guy for lawful reasons but these HN comments saying it's not for YouTube and it's not for downloading is silly. It's literally in the name.

Please remember that to reverse this YouTube-dl needs to go through a court. Courts are not code that can be tricked by clever wording. If anything you'll be trying to describe what it is to some old grandma who hasn't got a clue what GitHub is never mind convincing them this software isn't for downloading YouTube videos.

By all means everyone go on with coming up with clever interpretations of the law but you're just farting into the wind

P.s downvoting my comments doesn't change the way the law works either, but if it helps you feel good have at it :)
Phishing? Are there illegitimate links?
There usually exist cookbooks that cover these things well.
I've used Go for both "web routing" and business logic apps and found it fairly nice. In what context and in what way do you find it a bad?
The point of the article is that you won’t have that type: at the very least you’d have a PutOption and a CallOption.
I also fear this. I dont care about most WMs being left behind, kde and gnome is already spread too thin. And I say that as a xfce user of ten years.

Got a new laptop with amdgpu and am enjoying the new life with wayland and gnome. It just took waay too long.
You are probably only using Gnome and GTK3 applications. Everything else lags behind (because in Wayland you need to reinvent everything for each WM and toolkit). Everything is also incompatible because of all those reimplementations, so if you don't just stick to the one true Gnome way, it will be broken. If you just do what Fedora is designed for, I agree that it can be fine.
It took about a decade for NetworkManager to gain CLI, all the time it tried to eat more and more control over network stack. It was also opinionated in the worst possible way, like responding to requests to support ad-hoc wifi mode (back when NM was only about WiFi) with "your request is dumb, you're dumb, and we will never do that".

It got usable within last few years as somewhat general thing (after having already wrestled control over network from you first), of course by the time it got useful work started on replacing it with new thing.
Yes, it's quite important, the fact that there's no official release means that the project is stalled.
It doesn't prevent to create custom builds by applying patches on top of the last release but that will only work for small bug fixes, customization and security fix. Bigger pieces of work will never be tackled this way, such as a good handling of hidpi screens, fixing security flaws such as being able to grab the output of any graphical application and read all inputs.

Does this actually have any ebook reading functionality? Skimming through, the closest thing seems to be "notes" .
I agree, communicating to big demographics with individuals of diverse backgrounds is a skill that a lot of people either don’t have (and choose not to cultivate) or don’t even know is a learnable skill. People on the internet take this for granted and just think all the great articles they read on the internet could have been written by anybody (which a lot of the times is untrue)
Ask HN: Do wealthy Americans discuss inequality to make themselves feel better?
My social circle mostly consists of affluent, upper middle class individuals with comfortable incomes. I can't speak for the 1%, but for my friends and colleagues from the 10%, discussing income inequality has become a sort of social signal to show that you yourself are too smart to be poor, but you still feel bad for all the unfortunate people that were left behind by capitalism. Does discussing inequality so much become a self fulfilling prophecy for the low-income strata? Does it simply benefit the current winners of the status quo?
You missed the paragraph:

"However, when the attorney general revised its draft regulations for a second time March 11, the guidance was struck without explanation."
I don't understand it. It appears to split pixels in two (check the special unicode ascii art character on line 142[0]), not in four as the screenshot would suggest. Is that special character half-width in certain terminals, or something?

EDIT: ahhh I got it! Before this commit, they printed out two spaces for a single pixel to closer resemble a square, because most terminal fonts are much taller than they're wide. They replaced that by a single character that has one color in the top half and one color in the bottom half. Each of those halves, again, are almost square (HN doesn't let me display the character here, it filters out certain unicode ranges)

What country? Do you have resume?
The examples you mention are both more lax in the data they require for registration, then compared with a Facebook registration. If you want a GitHub account you just give a username, email and pass. For Steam it's similar. You don't even need to give your first and last name.
Ask HN: Marketing SaaS to gauge campaign budget with estimated CLV of user group
We are running a video editing app service, which has IAP products. And we wanna gather as much user group as possible globally, keeping unit economics positive.

So, is there any marketing solution to automatically turn on/off (or change budget of) Facebook, Google ads, Snapchat, Tiktok, Twitter advertisement campaigns with estimated CLV of user group acquired by the campaigns?

For example, suppose that we've spent $300 on Facebook ad campaign A since 48 hours ago, and revenue from the user group acquired by the campaign A is $150 (but the estimated CLV is $350). Then we wanna increase budget on the campaign A by 50% automatically.

And if we've spent $300 on Facebook ad campaign B since 48 hours ago, and revenue from the user group acquired by the campaign B is $80 (but the estimated CLV is $200). Then we wanna stop the campaign B right away.

Now we have payment performance data for each marketing campaign collected from Adjust and Appsflyer. So we can provide this data as a raw data or set up the integration on Appsflyer.

Is there any Saas you can recommend for this situation?
The thing is, X.Org server is not X11 the protocol.

X11 could be easily implemented on new driver framework supporting new graphic stack. Instead we got a piece of sh*t that is fitting for a custom embedded device or some closed environment, but not an X11 replacement.
The process is often the punishment.

Just receiving such a letter is stressful, and creates a paper trail documenting neglect.

I've noticed that he has an app called "Whoscall" installed providing Caller ID in the Phone app. I wonder if this has access to Messages on the phone and is able to read/upload SMS?

A quick search online suggests that this is a Chinese app.
#1 is relevant, because the developers of scraping services themselves were held liable for the use of their tools for illegal purposes. As you say, there are many small-time copyright infringers (a.k.a. criminal organizations), some of which probably use youtube-dl to circumvent anti-scraping measures (analogous to the CAPTCHA bypass case).

> it's highly unlikely anyone will bother to target some high-barrier-of-entry tool mostly facilitating the download of otherwise public videos

It's true that any particular violation is unlikely to be prosecuted because there are so many, but youtube-dl is already being targeted, so if it stays up on Gitee (or Gitlab, for that matter), then only because RIAA doesn't file a complaint.
I have been using sway on Fedora for a year. It's been really good so. It's a smaller niche than X.org's, but I get to do everything I need. HiDPI support is just right, just throw output eDP1-1 scale 2 in the config and you're set.

Clipboard works perfectly splendid, screen-sharing works (not as perfectly splendid as clipboard does), input works, chromium/electron is getting support for native wayland. Qt and GTK Wayland support's quite good.

I have had no problems whatsoever and I invite you to try it. I have no hard-proof evidence or numbers to support my opinion, just try it.
It's sad that Basic isn't so popular anymore and people are forced to use JavaScript to workout their inner Dijkstra.

on edit: somehow I posted this twice. but deleted one.
Wayland is not just focused on performances but on addressing security flaws of X11.
Those benchmarks were benchmarks of gnome 3.36, it doesn't represent "wayland" but gnome 3.36 implementation of it.
If your concern is performance, it's still pretty much on of the point of focus. Gnome 3.38 already brought some good improvement there and there's still a few things to come in the area.

In term of broken application, what do you mean?
Pretty much sums up the narrative. It had to be a non-alcoholic beverage because serious business was being conducted and the fact that it allowed folks to remain awake and energized for the long and boring accounting was even better.
> could have easily migrated to their own Gitlab instance

Not sure if I would do that. Wouldn't that make me directly a target for the companies issuing the DMCA?
I've found that in general almost all popular health journalism/news coverage is awful. You're much better reading primary sources (particular, recent reviews in peer-reviewed medical literature) to get much more readable and information-dense, and useful resource (as well as a list of citations for followup and verification). I'd recommend anyone interested in any health topic to simply search for "pubmed [topic] [keyword]" to get any substantive information.

For example, a search for "pubmed walking versus hiit" actually turns up the answer to exactly what you were looking for.
> I've had no problem with it, other than the fact that every time I turn on the computer I have to run a shell script that fixes my resolution

I can’t tell if this post is a parody or not. The fact that it’s 2020 and minor annoyances like this are still fairly common in desktop Linux is telling.

macOS SSHing into a Linux VM (either locally hosted or on the cloud) is the sweet spot for me.
and a 17 million increase from 37 million to 54 million is a ~46% increase due to COVID, which I would say is also significant.

Having 16% of the population in a situation of food insecurity is also quite high IMHO. Why in such a relatively successful economy are people lacking such an essential resource: food?

To me, it again highlights some of the deficiencies in our economic and political systems.
Is there a summary somewhere of what's wrong with x.org/x11? I haven't been keeping up.
I presume you mean a proprietary license. Probably yes, you just have to obey the license. The Linux kernel and git are also GPL. In general, if you're not linking it into your software you're fine, but see the license for details.

Under US law at least, open source software is commercial:

Of course they want to pry. They want to figure out what’s wrong with your life and why your family is being malnourished. That’s just human decency. They also don’t want you on the dole forever if it can be helped.
Dereferencing NULL in C is undefined behavior - it has no semantics in the C abstract machine. In practice, with a modern optimizing compiler, it can have very surprising behavior, including omitting further null checks after the dereference. While it's true that an explicit dereference is very likely to cause a SIGSEGV (these are Unix semantics, not C), dereferncing NULL + something is likely to lead to memory corruption (very ugly in v[length - 1] or v->field for v==NULL).

Also, the recommended way of working with Maybe/Optional values is map() or do-notation, not unwrapping. And map/do have exactly the same semantics as most NULL-based operations in SQL.
I solved all of them except last 2 pieces, next 15-20 minutes made me sure that something has gone wrong. I decided to read more about these puzzles and knew that they're unsolvable in 50% cases.

Happy to answer any questions (but have bad internet connectivity for the next few hours)
Email services (e.g. Gmail) are often used as a unique identifier for logins. Want to reset your password? It's often by email.

Storing passwords in the same account creates a single point of failure. If I get into your Gmail account I have total control of everything.

Third party stores separate passwords from logins, including for the email account itself.

Now I cannot get complete control of all your accounts just via your gmail/logins account. At best I can control them for a short period of time. Which means I maybe get your Skype account for a day or so.

It's all about making it harder for an attacker to get something valuable. The harder you make it the less likely they are to succeed.

Because the login accounts and passwords are separated an attacker has to do more work basically.

Addendum: the single point of failure actually becomes the third party password store. Which is good in some respects and bad in others.

Addendum 2: also, iirc, Google stuff doesn't ask if you want to create a password for the account, only if you want to store it. Which encourages password reuse.

Password managers often have the ability to generate a random password up to the maximum allowed length, meaning no account passwords are ever the the same and are harder to crack.

Furthermore some of them can automatically update your passwords for you if they've become stale.

So all I have to do is remember (and regularly change) my one super strong pass phrase for the password manager.
Counterpoint: while I would've jumped ship from X to Wayland or anything else 15 years ago because I kept having to mess with my Xorg.conf every other week to resolve some breakage or tweak anything, I haven't really had any significant issue with Xorg in the past 5 years at the very least. It just works for me.

I think X11 not seeing a lot of development doesn't necessarily mean that it's abandonware, it's probably more that people like me who still use it feel like it's effectively feature-complete.

And I won't take the word from some graphics hardware vendor that it is abandonned. Over the years they've always done the bare minimum to support the Linux desktop so of course they'll take the first opportunity to claim that X is "abandonware" so that they have a plausible excuse for dropping support.
Well, I am using sway, and I have found that not true in my experience. Qt has also good support for Wayland and so do SDL-based apps. I don't use any GNOME native applications and I manage just fine.
