Actually put money into expanded infrastructure and staffing of public transport instead of funneling it into someone's pocket. Regularly patrol the cars. Open more shelter for the homeless and institute better mental health policies. None of this is a cultural issue unless you mean a cultural issue of political disinterest and general apathy from the public and graft from our politicians on either side.

Fedora 33: Honing Linux's cutting edge
Consciousness isn't about external sensory perception (at least in my version of the word ;), it's about internal perception. For example, flexing a muscle and correlating the different skin/motion/stress sensors as feedback to the initial motion. Flexing a different muscle and experiencing the tactile sensations from your fingers. Making sense of the myriad of nervous system signals that travel through the spine at any given second.

There's a lot of different inputs and outputs to organize and understand before the brain can even begin to make sense of the world outside the body. In that sense, yes, the brain needs sensory inputs to assert itself, but our traditional "five senses" are but a small subset of the sensory input the brain receives and must process.

A long time ago when I was writing Verilog and VHDL what people were doing beyond the 1Bn gate (I still keep using gates rather than transistors as a unit, funny) scale were statistical sampling methods to try to uncover certain stuck / flakey gates so certain more risky or critical paths were tested a bit better. Then there's also error correction mechanisms that are more common nowadays that can compensate to some extent. We don't test for every single possible combinatoric like was possible so long ago, full stop. Furthermore, GPUs aren't necessarily to be tested in the same ways as CPUs. GPUs don't really branch and hold state with exotic addressing modes like how CPUs can operate, so testing compute shaders is in many respects closer to testing not a state machine as much as a big, wide bit bus. Heck, one doesn't need to even bother hooking up any output devices like HDMI and HDCP decoders to a GPU as long as the PCB is hooked up fine during assembly and the peripheral chips are tested to spec, too.

And for an extra measure of automation there are test suites that are programmed into hardware that can drive chips at line speed on a test bench.
The difference is the treatment of poor & homeless. Public transit buildings/vehicles are some of the only inside spaces where they can spend time.

Gerrit is so off-putting to new users that many never get over the learning curve. At Wikimedia we want to be welcoming to new contributors. We also have to consider the on-boarding experience of new staff members, as well as the productivity of staff and long-time contributors. Gerrit satisfies some people who have used it for a long time but it is almost universally disliked by newcomers. When your users are volunteers, you can't force them to use Gerrit until they get used it it. If the experience is bad enough then they will choose to spend their time on something else instead.

There is no subjectivity to when anyone says new logos are bad. I remember people were saying Airbnb's logo looks like a dong, thats pretty much the worst you could do as a designer, and now no one even cares. In fact its recognizable and unique.

At the end of the day its just branding. As long as you can get it to stick inside people's neurons then its doing its job.

Those are all quotes that are referring to it, as well as this one:

>But using it to drive your display hardware and multiplex your input devices is choosing to make your life worse.

If X continues to work for you and you don't find it makes your life worse, then... keep using it?
I agree it's not realistic, but it's actually more realistic than the alternative.

The key here is that every new emission today multiplies because of positive feedback. So every day that passes, the problem of scrubbing enough carbon actually becomes harder--whereas the problem of simply not putting it out there keeps the same magnitude.

Put differently, it costs "one less airplane trip" to prevent the carbon associated with 1 flight out of the air, but it costs an increasing amount of trips to get it out.

Lastly... we know how to keep carbon out of the air. It's a politically difficult problem but one with a known solution. Just stop doing things. And stop doing them by taxing them to oblivion.... whereas we don't actually know how to get carbon out of the air in a clean way with sufficient magnitude in order to prevent runaway growth. And it goes without saying that in that scenario we'd probably have to reduce emissions as well!

The argument that reducing emissions to ~0 is unrealistic is true, but it's more realistic than the alternative.

So weird how Cruz &c keep making this sound like there's some mandate that these platforms be nuetral. Definitely in large part to score sympathy, but what if he & his sect realize (how can they not?) & do want to errode the Safe Harbor provisions, make it unsafe to host content online? Or are they confident this is only a PR stunt, & that it will go nowhere?

Nvidia is also using much more expensive (and power-hungry) ram.
To be fair to Nvidia it's not the same. AMD card is GDDR6 and 3090 is GDDR6X (which may be causing Nvidia's supply issues).
Too bad you're heavily downvoted. Principle "function name is a noun if it returns something, and verb if it doesn't" is super useful - just by looking at its name you know immediately if it has side-effects. Since I learned it I apply it all the time in programs I write alone, but almost always I see pushback in a team because people are unfortunately used to see `getX`, `fetchY` etc. as method names.

What are you talking about? Where have you been since 2016? Democrats and media is pushing Twitter, YouTube and Facebook to increase censorship of right-wing viewpoints.

>Also let's not conflate social media (dumb-pipes for following anyone) with newspapers and cable "news" (editorial, selective).

Social media is exerting more and more editorial control and acting more like a publisher and not a platform. I get that there will always be some of standards that not every person will like (since those companies do not want their networks to be used for crime or spam, for example), but the way Twitter and Facebook shut down the Hunter Biden is insane and I don't understand why nobody is not bothered by it.
I think as Flutter matures it will change the game for native development. I'm building an app now for a well known startup and are converting their native codebases to Flutter. What is interesting is that I was able to compile the app to web with no extra work and now use that as an easy way to demo things to my client. From a cross-platform perspective that changes the game for me along with being able to build desktop apps easily and relatively efficiently (compared to Electron).

The paper I presented is not theory in the scientific sense. It's theory in the mathematical/logic proof based sense. There are really two uses of the word "theory" for this context, science based theories proven by statistical experiments, and logical based theories created from a set of elements and assumed axioms.

Things like this shouldn't be titled with "Theory." Call it your "opinion" or a "design pattern." Theory is associated with things like the theory of gravity (science) or game theory (math). This title is wildly inappropriate and shows a lack of understanding of what constitutes a theory.

The fact that this post is voted up shows how much the public misunderstands "theory" and how they mistake things like this which is actually just someone's qualitative opinion with the integrity of an actual theory.

Using big words and drawing diagrams does not lend any formal legitimacy to your opinion.
The problem with Wayland is really that people understand it to be a drop-in replacement of X11, or something close to it. But it's not a replacement of X11. You don't "switch to Wayland", despite what that GDM button seems to indicate. Wayland is just a protocol, whereas X11 is a protocol and entire system around it.

So Wayland is not a replacement of X11. Gnome on Wayland should be a replacement for Gnome on X11. KDE on Wayland should be replacement for KDE on X11. Sway on Wayland should be a replacement for i3 and X11. But as you can imagine in this equation, KDE, Gnome and Sway are permitted and required to take on more responsibilities.

You might take issue with the fact that a lot more of the display stack gets tied up in specific desktop environments. It's KDE and Gnome and Sway that are not providing you these command line tools/screen recording/clipboard access. I don't mean to say this as nitpicking or that """Wayland""" (whatever that means) is dropping the ball, but this is really the responsibility of the desktop environment (or WM) in Wayland's design. Wayland is just a protocol.

What you're observing as shortcomings in Wayland is really a lock of pace and direction of development for (e.g. Freedesktop) standards that standardize clipboard access/screen recording use cases, and the adoption of those standards. The Linux community seems to have been hit by 1) not realizing Wayland does not replace X11 and 2) realizing that, not being to coordinate standardization well of the pieces of the X11 stack that should be replaced as well. If you need to replace X11, you need a lot more than just Wayland. But that seems to keep on catching people by surprise.

I think it'd be helpful for the future of the Linux desktop if more people recognized that.

I'd prefer full censorship instead of the partisan sham that Twitter is doing now.
Wayland is not corporate policy. It was developed as a side project by some guy from Red Hat, people liked it. Corporations would have likely pressured to keep using X11 to avoid breaking compatibility with applications.
The people who take decisions can take decisions because they contributed a lot to the project. If you want to take decisions too, there's no need to be part of a big company, all you need is getting involved.

The ecosystem is still powered by the community. I see a lot of patches coming from hobbyists in many related projects.

Limiting the dates to indexes before 2016 might help (at least with google). You can usually train google to get you what you want after a few searches. This was initially a problem with the Elixir programming language, but it learned what I actually wanted it started letting me just type in the term elixir without specifying it was a programming language. On other computers not associated with that account, it does revert back to the not-so-useful results.

I have no idea how the "liberal tech company" meme started, but it is clearly not based in fact. Like any big corps, they don't care about red or blue, they care about green and will donate to whoever they think will help their bottom line, right now, Republicans are in power and they tend to favor big business in general, so this makes complete sense.

Great presentation. Also, really not surprising at all. Anyone that has tried getting a sample Flutter app running on a desktop will quickly find that it's shockingly easy and on almost all platforms will "just work" despite being in Alpha. The development experience in Flutter is great too. Anything that can help with that when developing for embedded systems is likely very tempting.

I am curious why they went with Weston as their Wayland compositor as opposed to Mutter, if only because it seems to be the most popular due to Gnome. I'm not familiar enough with the trade-offs between the two. Anyone care to theorize why?
