>> Until Wayland has all these (and more) and they are as stable and feature-rich as the existing apps on X, I will not willingly switch to Wayland.

Every time this topic comes up, a bunch of people bring up the things X has that Wayland doesnt yet have, or have in the form they think it should.

I'm not sure if it's just me but these comments come across as some combination of defiant, demanding, or I dont know what. It's like they don't understand that the world is moving on and doesnt really give a $h!t about them and their love of X. I mean here is a post from "the guy" whose been keeping X going for a long time saying "this shit is done" and people keep complaining about that as if they have some say in it without actually contributing to the code. It reads like entitlement - some kind of expectation that other people exist just to make things the way they want them to be.
> Most of the Eugenics movt., and its proponents

People gung-ho about "progressivism" usually don't really pay the due attention to how that mindset was intertwined and motivated by the same forces behind eugenics, evangelicalism, race science, corporatism, industrialization, mass centralization, authoritarianism, etc.

The point is that looking at DLSS supported games, majority are AAA titles, which is what DLSS is for.

Who cares if your average indie game doesn't support it, it probably isn't useful in those cases since you're already running it at 900 FPS

Does anyone else remember when Hacker News had a badge at the bottom of each page for "CO2Stats Green Certification"? Would've been around 2009.
The straightforward way to eliminate the ambiguity is to submit the programs to democratic oversight, including by The People. But instead they've worked hard to do the exact opposite, going so far as to blatantly lie to congress. This points to a criminal conspiracy, regardless of how many employees are working to craft dubious legal justifications. Usually criminals don't get to just say "my bad" and walk away after being caught, and I don't see why higher crimes should carry less punishment.
Can't you just put the gitlab instance behind an nginx proxy to achieve this? Like, if you are requesting ^/user/$, check for a cookie; if invalid, return 403
I worked on optical sorting project that use cameras to scan many 1000s of small berries a second and you had around 10ms to extract each berry from video stream, calculate the center of object, decide if quality is good enough and schedule air stream to shoot in particular time to so it gets shoot out in exact time. Good luck trying to do that on Arduino type of board.

Industrial and industrial IoT is one of the use case for these kind of boards. These machines are not produced in high quantities so finding existing modules saves a tons of R&D budget.

We had a member in our team who was quite sharp, understanding of user relevant functionality/aspects, who could code semi-complex stuff all on his/her own (of course without consulting anyone else) and whose every line was the moment it was typed legacy. As everyone was a bit dumbfounded by the self-confidency, and also because the whole team was busy doing greenfield groundwork, glad to have someone who takes care of him/herself, producing code that appeared to work, we let him/her do without interfering much. When there was interference, the reviewer was left with the impression that she/he just didn't understand the marvels of the code she/he just reviewed.
Afterwards, legitimations included "unit tests are non-clean, they require too much mocking/stubbing", this is an "edge-edge-edge case" and so on (architectural and design deficiencies are routinely defended by statements like this, and in this case, spot on).

Since she/he was dubbed a star developer for a while (which is quite astounding, since we have quite a high bar for hiring), she/he could get away with that. From a certain perspective she/he was successful: we launched our project in time, with few bugs, with quite an amazing feature set. Most of the credits go to the not-so-visible, but diligent other team members, but from a management perspective it was quite a success.

After rewriting ~30% of her/his code, with the prospect of ~70% remaining, the person is not working on the project anymore. But she/he is complaining all the time about how much legacy code he/she has to maintain in the new role, and how serious her/his (from her/his perspective non-voluntary removal from the project despite his/her indispensability) abilities must be missing from the project team.

Extreme case, I know. But it's just the most extreme one I saw in my dev career :)

Edit: s/he -> she/he
One thing that fascinated me in web development before we had Canvas or WebGL was 3d engines implemented using HTML tables, because it was the most performant way to put a triangle on the screen. Meanwhile we had very good looking 3d games built on platforms/languages with hardware level/access... That 3d game made with JavaScript and HTML tables was amazing, but it was also a "potato camera".
Sequoia's Political Paradox
The title is a gross exaggeration of the policy change MS is making. Come 2021, what will go away is the ability to sign drivers for Windows 7 and 8 without passing WHQL/HLK compliance tests. That's it. You can still update compliant drivers, and you can still ship unsigned drivers if your users are willing to disable signing (not great, but there are plenty of shitty vendors who do this already).

Are there some number of important drivers that absolutely can't (rather than currently don't) pass WHQL/HLK tests? Sure, but I can't help but feel that the main "victims" of this will be shitty vendors with buggy drivers that have lagged in supporting newer Windows variants (and have thus kept their users stuck on older variants). Is OSR one of these shitty vendors? Maybe not, and they are a paragon of quality stuck in a rare corner case of WHQL/HLK compliance. But it does sound like they have spent the last year complaining about the policy change rather than working to meet WHQL/HLK compliance - I don't see any evidence in their post of working with MS to improve the WHQL/HLK tests.
> That’s not true.

Yes, it is.

> A moderation-free platform can still get in trouble for defamation posted on their platform if 230 was removed.

Yes, but that doesn't contradict anything in GP, which said hosts can move from publisher to distributo liability by not moderating, not that they can avoid liability altogether that way; distributors have notice-based liability, unlike publishers who have publication-based liability, so, absent 230 the situation for defamation on a not-preemprivelt-moderated site would be somewhat similar to what it is for copyright under the DMCA.
There is Windows and MacOS for users that want a computer that works. FOSS alternatives are for developers and power users that want a computer like someone wants a project car.

I say this as a happy Linux user at home. But I need to use Windows for work because of multiple programs that do not run on any other target. In school (this has changed a bit) I need to use Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, and Word. At home I still have to dual boot Windows to play games with my friends.

There really isn't an alternative, even if you wanted to pay money for it.

If you want an example of this that I've been fighting for the last week, Steam doesn't launch after the first installation on my machine running Pop!_OS 20.04. There's a half dozen things I've tried to fix that, all the related issues are unresolved or partially resolved from comments on GitHub, and my current solution is to reboot and use Windows. Linux is not suitable for personal computing today.
And yet he opposes net neutrality. His position is inconsistent here. He is self-serving, not liberal in any sense.
Ugh. At some point we need to stop using side-forks/-projects like this because then they become competing standards that pull resources away from the main projects and evolve into their own incompatible beasts. I hope they instead contribute to the main branch, instead of wandering off into NIH land.
It would be in two years at which point any network could broadcast it, AppleTV has likely bought the rights for many years to come making copyright extension a cogent component of this discussion in my opinion.
> Platforms can be neutral and once were.

Which platform, when, and for how long?
A competent hacker could deep fake zoom hearings and communications and have the actual prosecution dismissing the case on video.
Both of those things do not exist - both the damn propaganda latter day fiction of platform cs publisher distinction - it isn't real and stop pretending it can be and the very concept of neutral platform existing in the past is laughable. Usenet anarchies? Included the sysop free to moderate however the hell they liked and the early net defacto banned commerical activity. Not neutral at all.

Same thing actually decided by AzPainter developer: they already tried to add Wayland support to its GUI-toolkit (additionally to already supported X11), but postponed it due to Wayland still is not fully usable.[1,2]

Well there, I was being a bit prickly...
It's not a nice word, I'll leave it to everyone's imagination.
Remember, this is the same Ted Cruz who opposes net neutrality. His position is wildly inconsistent between his apparent views on Twitter and his views on the Internet as a whole.

What type of process did you go through for this transition? I recently stepped into a director level position and have been loving the management and vision-crafting process, but have been curious that if I ever choose to step back toward an IC role, what that looks like in terms of interviewing/retraining/etc.

Hey - So we shared that same concern when we started doing the first interviews and edits with friends and family.

The feedback we received then and continue to receive from customers is that people are using our service to record what you might call "archival conversations". These are conversations about important questions, events, or people that you, and your friends and family may want to listen to again in the future - or later share with new friends and family (children and grandchildren) along the way.

I'd also say that we are finding that there is some kind of magic that happens when we bring together a professional interviewer with someone to talk about important things. The candor and depth in that session is something that continues to surprise us and our customers.

All of that said, I really appreciate your direct question about a potential weakness in what we creating.

Painful, but it is true.

Free Software development is awkward in this respect. Both developers and users feel as if they are doing something virtuous, but it's unclear to what extent the contributions of either party help the other (or anyone else).

Meanwhile the presence of this self-conscious feeling of virtue makes transactions difficult, as every party feels they begin by deserving something out of it. So Free Software users are more demanding and aggressive than users of proprietary software, and Free Software developers are more prickly.

Loss of ego is absolutely essential here.

(More on-topic, this series of HN posts about X and Wayland has prompted me, a long-time holdout X user, to experiment again with switching one laptop to Wayland. It's massively better than the last time I tried it, and I'll probably leave this laptop like this unless something goes awfully wrong. Thank you, unappreciated Wayland developers.)

Even before Covid, I did everything I could to avoid riding NYC's (and its surrounding regions) public transportation. Namely, bicycle, walk, semi-private ferry services, or even drive. The subways are literally disgusting.

I'd happily use the public transportation if it was anything closer to Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, Hong Kong, or many other cities outside the US.

As Fedora is the testing distro for RedHat Enterprise Linux, I’m guessing they are planning to use BTRFS in upcoming versions.
There were. They were called X terminals ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_terminal ) and there were quite a few of them on the market around the early 90s, supplanting the traditional terminal protocols. Then there were quite a number of Thin Client ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_client ) devices that were a hair more independent than dumb X terminals, from players like Sun (Sun Ray) and Wyse (Now part of Dell).

There was an inversion from "Users per to Computer" to "Computers per User" and that model mostly fell out of favor.
They could, but I remember reading some WWDC slides that suggest ARM Mac will only be using Apple GPU. Had Apple state Mac Pro would stay on x86 I would not have such concern, but they intend to go all in.

Which means Mac Pro will get an ARM chip and an Apple GPU.
Yes I obviously meant 'specified schema' which the post describes as 'schema-defined' with the alternative being 'self-describing'.
I don't think it's impossible. It just seems that way if your only experience with politics is neoliberal US politics over the last 40 years. At some point the dam breaks. In the US neoliberalism is at the same point Soviet communism was in the 80's. It's a complete failure and everyone knows it.
As far as I've been able to find out, Kosinski and the others developed their techniques at University of Cambridge (and other universities), then took those techniques to Cambridge Analytica/SCL (something that no one here would have any complaints about); CA/SCL then applied them to Facebook. The UofC IRB has no influence on that.

If there is any evidence that CA/SCL/Kosinski said the data collection was affiliated with UofC, I cannot find it. And when Kosinski attempted to use the data in his research, the UofC IRB denied it.

In this case the data collection is by the NYU AdObservatory project, meaning the data collection and its use (should) have to go through the IRB.

While it's true that originally X was network transparent, this hasn't truly been the case for a long time now. All modern applications (including the ones you've listed) render the whole window locally for performance reasons. This does not work over the network. Instead, xorg will transmit a picture of the window, giving you an in many ways worse version of VNC. The only difference is the level of integration with other programs like SSH.
Interesting to see that it significantly outperform pypy on some metrics, but wouldn't have it been better to allocate the human resources towards pypy instead of a duplicated effort?
I really agree with your philosophy here but I've never been able to perfect it in practice. The imperfection comes from the way there is inevitably some mapping of things to other things by name. I can ask a load balancer whether clients of a service are being sent to a named capacity or not (i.e. is the thing I want to remove "drained") but that doesn't rule out the possibility that another service maps a different name to the same backend and I forgot to integrate that name with my automation. Also impossible to rule out that a client exists which bypasses or ignores the advice of the load balancer. Having visibility into caller identity helps a lot with this kind of problem but outside of Google there is a scary word called "cardinality" which prevents people from monitoring the whole caller×server space.
Sure. Anytime!
Windows Server 2012 R2 is impacted. Upgrades are not free. Upgrading the server necessitates updating Client Access Licenses (either purchased per-device or per-user) as well. Costs could be significant. If you've got a dependency on a driver that can't pass WHQL and you need an update, post July 2021, your only choice will be to dump Windows Server 2012 R2.
What do game devs have to say about all this? Or do games bypass X11/Wayland and do some kind of lower-level rendering?

Doesn’t really seem fair to call people idiots for using social media considering the incredible amount of research and investment that’s gone into making it so addictive. And as for using it as primary source of news, people only have so many hours available to them... if they’re spending it on addictive social media they might not want to go seek out additional news, especially if they feel they’ve gotten enough news from Facebook.
as a teenager, i remember marveling at a friend who could successfully walk into bars and order drinks. you have to both look the part and play the part (i could do neither).

even at places that carded, they wanted to serve you, so the ID had to only provide enough plausible deniability to the bouncer or bartender to credibly claim they were duped into serving you. i'm sure some bartenders secretly got a kick out of the cat and mouse game.

I also think we consume more information that we need. I think we also tend to overvalue getting that information and retaining it. The HN crowd is biased towards analysis and information, but just look at the abundance of note-taking systems posted.

I used to store as much info as I could somewhere (a personal wiki) but over the years I realized there's just too much there and most of it I never need, and if I do need something, I can look it up again anyway.

I think it's possible to become something of an information pack rat. It's true that for me learning something new feels productive somehow, but if I were to be honest, most of the knowledge I seek out online doesn't really provide me with direct value. The act of seeking it out as well is time that could've been used to do something else.

Here's where I'm confused. As I understand if you repeal Section 230, and these companies become regulated as publishers, they will be required to censor ALL content. So how would repealing Section 230 protect free speech? It seems it would in fact do the exact opposite: result in EXTREME censorship on all these platforms. Furthermore, politicians would have direct control over what these platforms publish in form of laws governing publishers. So now we would have literal government censorship on private platforms. Perhaps this is what they actually want?

Am I missing something?
I'm arguing that your secrets, especially if they're socially taboo, are best kept to yourself unless you are fully aware of the consequences. I'm against disguising mental health care as something inherently beneficial to the patient. If people are fully aware of what will happen to them then I have no problem, but there is simply not enough transparency in this process and some are lulled into a false sense of security by the advertising.

You can read the Turing story here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing#Conviction_for_indecenc...

My point with Turing was that here was a man who lived a decent life up until he exposed himself to society, thinking that this society would help him solve an unrelated problem. In truth, society is only motivated by self-interest (of the collective) and sometimes having you live a decent life is simply not in its best interest.
