So for window decorations, it's up to the app developer if they want to implement special behavior for client side decorations or not. If they do, there's nothing your toolkit or window manager can really do about it, you have to show the client's window decorations or you will lose functionality. Wayland has little to do with that.

About depending on C code, Wayland is pretty much the same as X11 there. If you don't want to use libwayland, you can write your own implementation of the wire protocol.
Do you have a source for ratios or such?

I have a 1 pound bag of msg and I add it to all kinds of stuff but it only has recommendations for soup on the bag. On other things I just sprinkle it (I dedicated an old salt shaker to dispensing MSG instead hehe)
Part of the reason we got a covid-19 vaccine so fast is because researchers posted the genetic sequence of the virus on the web for anyone to download.

I can't find much more than that because mainstream search engines increasingly don't return relevant or useful results.
But MSG can make unhealthy food taste better also. Which leads to eating more unhealthy food.

Counter-tip -- if your children prefer to eat fast food, that may be due to the additives that make the fast food more enjoyable than home-cooked food. So learning how to incorporate some of their tricks into your own cooking can help your family enjoy the home-cooked foods more. In other words, learning how to enhance your cooking with MSG (Accent) can lead to more (healthy) meals consumed at home (assuming you are otherwise preparing healthy meals).

As for proportions -- I've used 1/4 teaspoon per pound of meet, or per 6 servings of stew/soups/vegetable dishes, etc.
I do love bitter almond's flavour!

Sadly, almonds that taste of something have become much harder to find.
So stop calling MSG sensitivity "chinese restaurant syndrome". Do you suppose that hysteria does not exist because it is a sexist term?

Mental disabilities are mostly adaptations that have huge upside. Technology is exacerbating that upside. You can’t have a majority autistic society, but you want some of them around
As someone who uses this in their day job, I have no problem using loose terminology to describe a well known procedure. Most of the time when I am referring to the act of optimization, it doesn’t matter exactly what method I am using, and I can use backprop as a stand in. If I’m talking about the technical details of my work, I will state the specific optimization strategy. Everyone on my team does similar things, and no one is confused or misled. Use rigorous language when necessary, and use colloquial language when appropriate.
What are you referring to? "Red flag" does not appear to have any racial etymology:

This is a rather interesting coincidence. A few days ago someone posted a video here of how Ajinomoto produces a certain polymer substrate commonly used in the electronics industry. This happens to be the same company that first started producing MSG and this year they started a campaign to combat the MSG myth as they call it and try to label it as a xenophobic myth. [0]
I thought the issue with MSG was that it was addictive, but a quick search doesn't show any convincing evidence?

Obama is a great politician (as in kiss the babies get the votes politician). He is one of the most inconsequential presidents in the last 100 years. Basically nothing happened during his presidency. The status quo was maintained, some trends got worse (inequality, climate record) and a barely functional health plan was put in place, that's it.
What if there was contaminated, counterfeit, low-quality chemical MSG on the market?

For a comparison - search Amazon reviews of knock-off bulk "Creatine" supplement powder for 'headache'.
I don't think the point was whether or not it is unhealthy. It asserts most definitely that it is not. The story was about how the claim went viral. The story was introduced in 1968 by the New York Times picking up on the NEJM article.

It's an amusing tale, but rather unsettling how easily fooled we can be. I remember (growing up as late as the '80s) people legitimately wondering whether an MSG allergy was responsible for their loaginess and fatigue. A number of tv news programs like 20/20 ran cover stories about it. To hear it was all bunk is a sobering reminder to take what we read with a grain of salt. Even much of the hysteria surrounding coronavirus and the like.

I don't have an answer to this, but these publications take a serious long term credibility hit with stories like these. And rightfully so.
That makes no sense here. For compilation workloads and a lot of these other tests where we're showing benefits, basically any machine is able to give well over 99% of CPU to the task. Just how exactly do you think that having any dedicated silicon is helping clang compile benchmarks, etc?
Huh, I don't have an iPhone but the offer sounds very good.

I pay much more than $10 for only WSJ subscription. Sounds like I'm getting the shaft.
It's all sensational articles though. Show me the bug they used to exploit iMessage. That'd be far more interesting that this Cold War madness we read everyday.
The first sentence rubs me the wrong way. The claim that you wouldn’t expect autism to be coupled with invention because it is a disability only makes sense because of the semantics of labeling autism necessarily a disability. Not to mention the slight to disabilities as a whole

I like how people think the media they consume isn't porn.

It's almost the exact same experience of aspiration, hope, envy, release, etc. Even though it's all media, and yet we say the sex media is taboo, when reality is these representations of what we perceive to be powerful and desirable are all the same thing.

When I wrote for magazines, and after we got into the drinks, I'd have this same conversation with some of the more bourgeois writers and editors, who insisted they were prim and serious, but when it came down to it, they were in the porn business, just the fancy kind.

Whether you are looking at naked people, expensive clothing, cars, or even very serious and meaningful political commentary - it's all on a spectrum of sensational pornography. Even renowned fashion photographer Helmut Newton famously talked about the store Hermès as the world's most exclusive sex shop. He understood it, and he knew exactly what he was doing.

The only difference is in the aesthetics and beliefs the pornography reinforces.
On some machines I don't have ~/.history. On others, there is a size limit so when I grep the history file after a few months it might not be there.

Personally, rather than interactively putting comments in my shell input, I prefer to write scripts or take notes in a text file.
So stop calling MSG sensitivity "chinese restaurant syndrome" and disconnect the phenomenon from the racism. Does hysteria does not exist because it is a sexist word?
For BBSs, there was various software available that basically let you logon, do your uploads and downloads of messages, hang up and do your reading and writing offline.

I used to run a node of one of the first public BBS networks (1983ish). Messages went from one node to the other using store-and-forward overnight. With enough nodes in the right LATAs, you could send messages (e-mail at first, then bulletin board messages) across the entire region.

Where I lived at the time, I could make a local call between two area codes in two different states, so my node was very busy overnight relaying all the messages that got bottled up in either state at 300 baud.
> Clients aren't paying to actually have sex with OF creators!!

You may not be familiar enough with the Sex Worker industry as a whole, but this absolutely can and does happen.

Oftentimes, it is under a plan discussed in private over a secondary channel (Signal or Telegram or Wickr if they're real pros, Snapchat if they are less careful.) Most common scheme I've observed is either you finish the transaction on a side app or purchase a large amount of their video content and it is applied as a 'credit'.

No, this is not what the majority of OnlyFans creators do. But the legitimate sellers and rest of the market provide a smoke-screen for those who wish to do less accepted forms of Sex Work.
Part of that concept is the implied outcome that once media is paid for by readers it will no longer engage in undesirable practices for revenue, like advertorials and shock content; but this is somewhat of a myth. Those shady practices were common before the Internet, and they'll be common even if media returns to a subscription service model.

What you need is a well-funded, and non-profit public news media. It's not without its faults, but it certainly shines where private news media consistently fails to.
18 year olds are dumb and easily manipulated, which is precisely why they are recruited to join the army.

Someone's ability to join the army and be used as cannon fodder is hardly proof of their ability to think intelligently for themselves.
Sure, so the passive aggressive racism is a far cry from what would have been real manifestations of it that occurred in those regions historically. How does it manifest today? Maybe they hear a msg rumor and go ‘yeah, figures’. A better example might be that mainland Chinese people genuinely think Hong Kong people think they are ‘better than mainlanders’, and low key believe in and support the crackdown and integration of Hong Kong (put them in their place). Wild stuff, amongst your own you have this informed hatred.

Similar to Karens in America, we don’t have outright segregation, we have a diluted form of it, which of course is a far cry from what it was.

The water is not totally filtered yet, need a few more pass throughs (few more generations).

As to why I think it’s way higher, it’s simply because the West has strong shallow racism. But the East actually knows the nuances of their region and still find ways to be prejudiced. That just simply takes more bigotry imho, where as in the West they only need pure ignorance.
This sentence set a lightbulb off in my brain and I went and reread Parkinson's Law[1] from 1942:

"The institutions already mentioned - lively and productive as they may be - flourish in such shabby and makeshift surroundings that we might turn with relief to an institution clothed from the outset with convenience and dignity. The outer door, in bronze and glass, is placed centrally in a symmetrical facade. Polished shoes glide quietly over shining rubber to the glittering and silent elevator. The overpoweringly cultured receptionist will murmur with carmine lips into an ice-blue receiver. She will wave you into a chromium armchair, consoling you with a dazzling smile for any slight but inevitable delay. Looking up from a glossy magazine, you will observe how the wide corridors radiate toward departments A, B, and C. From behind closed doors will come the subdued noise of an ordered activity. A minute later and you are ankle deep in the director's carpet, plodding sturdily toward his distant, tidy desk. Hypnotized by the chief's unwavering stare, cowed by the Matisse hung upon his wall, you will feel that you have found real efficiency at last.

In point of fact you will have discovered nothing of the kind. It is now known that a perfection of planned layout is achieved only by institutions on the point of collapse....

The intention to found New Delhi was announced at the Imperial Durbar of 1911, King George V being at that time the Mogul's successor on what had been the Peacock Throne. Sir Edwin Lutyens then proceeded to draw up plans for a British Versailles, splendid in conception, comprehensive in detail, masterly in design, and overpowering in scale. But the stages of its progress toward completion correspond with so many steps in political collapse.... It would be possible, though tedious, to trace the whole story down to the day when the British finally withdrew, showing how each phase of the retreat was exactly paralleled with the completion of another triumph in civic design. What was finally achieved was no more and no less than a mausoleum."

Well, I thought (assumed) that MSG caused raised blood pressure like salt would [salt acts immediately I gather, I thought it was the sodium??], but according to the this HN thread there are no adverse reactions other than extremely rare allergies?

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21372742/ (first paper SERPs returned for me) suggests that MSG increases BP over the order of years. Not sure the "it's entirely healthy" claims pan out?
I think their intention was to capture the attention of their target audience. Their target audience typically thinks of autism as something that mostly hinders someone, rather than elevate / enable them.
>Apparently, you are not the "average" customer.

So supposedly the average customer needs USB ports, but only on one side of the computer?
WebRTC is amazing and definitely has its uses in video streaming, but it does present a number of challenges and disadvantages. Simplified, it can have lower latency and higher reliability, but at the cost of compatibility and scalability. (Also, "higher reliability" takes a lot of work to implement properly, whereas out-of-the-box for most users it would likely be lower reliability.)

For the use-cases mentioned about home security cameras and other personal or low-volume situations where you also have knowledge of and control over the playback devices, sure, you can get away with it no problem. But if you are building a streaming platform for public consumption or something, we just aren't there yet. Delivering video over WebRTC to tons of clients is much more complex than serving them chunked flat files. With HLS/DASH, your clients are just downloading tiny video files over HTTP, and they can be live or be served up by anywhere -- nginx, S3, anything. It's not much different on the server-side than how file serving has always been. WebRTC though requires each client to be connected in constant 2-way communication with the server, and the logic/work the server has to do goes up tremendously since it will be attempting to chop up and serve the exact number of bytes of video each individual client needs on-the-fly rather than each client getting the same identical 1- to 4-second chunks. This presents even more challenges if your clients are at different parts of the stream, have crappy bandwidth, etc.

In terms of compatibility, WebRTC is widely prevalent, but not nearly the same as HLS/DASH. Many clients that do support it have their own quirks, limitations, etc. that need to be catered to slightly differently, especially on mobile devices.

For these reasons and others, you currently see WebRTC used for broadcast right now mostly at the scale of dozens to maybe hundreds, but not more than that.

What WebRTC is very useful for is p2p. It has enabled things like WebTorrent to have users be serving video to peers while they are themselves watching, reducing strain/cost on the provider. It is also clearly beneficial for things like conference calls, where there is a small number of clients talking to each other multidirectionally.
I work at one of the big tech companies in a more senior role. If my pay was ever cut, I would simply just quit. The mental stress and anxiety that has come with my job is only acceptable because of my total comp. I know there are companies who pay half or less of my total comp. Having worked at two of those companies before, it made sense given my work life balance and other things.
If you're noticing something that seems strange like that I would say do a thorough check to make sure you don't have some misinformation, there's a lot of bunk that goes around on social media. OBS is working but is not fully tested yet: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/2484/

I am extremely dubious that they can properly control for other variables to so blithely offer up "Computer-Assisted Learning" as the cause of any changes, even for values of "Computer-Assisted Learning" limited to "State-sanctioned and enforced computer-assisted learning with novel infrastructure and tools from a world-class expert as experienced by a culturally and socially uniform population of rural Han Chinese students studied for only four years."
So does COVID-19 not exist because someone called it Chinese Flu? The phenomenon can exist despite the racist connotations.
Ask HN: Why So Bullish on Bitcoin?
It seems like Bitcoin keeps rallying to new highs. While I'm bullish on cryptocurrency in general, Bitcoin itself seems to have proven it self a very poor as banking system.

- There's high transaction fees, making small transactions unrealistic

- It takes quite a while for transactions to be verified. If I'm paying for something on a site I don't want to wait 10 minutes for the payment to be confirmed.

- There's inherent scalability limits with the design of bitcoin, that can't be overcome without forking the network to use a different algorithm.

While I think the idea of cryptographically secured, decentralized banking is immensely useful, it seems like Bitcoin itself will inevitably trail to zero as better, more scalable networks are created.

Are the Bitcoin rallies simply driven by investors with short term goals? Are investors investing in Bitcoin the brand, banking on network forks to fix the scalability problems? Or is there another reason I'm missing?
> What is the reason Koreans think it's bad for health?

Pretty much the same reason why Americans think it's bad for health. It has a scary-sounding name (it's also called "MSG" in Korea), it sounds like a "chemical", and you can find it in ingredient lists of all popular junk foods - most notably instant ramen, which is basically an MSG+salt solution masquerading as noodles.

Give something in food an exotic name, and people will invent reason to fear it, like all those people demanding gluten-free bread.

Besides, if "racism" is the explanation behind it, how are you going to explain the immense popularity of Chinese food everywhere in America?

Respectfully, I think you’re being unreasonable. Your first comment made no mention of your sexual assault (and, once you’ve mentioned it, most commenters–myself included–are quite sorry that this happened to you). People aren’t telling you to “get off the internet”, they are responding to your claim that it is impossible to avoid sex on the internet. For which, quite frankly, there are many better ways to go about this than arguing with people in the comments section for an article about “The Internet is for Porn”. If your desire is that people scrub the internet clean of sex, that’s not going to happen, sorry. That being said, there are many tools available to make it so that your experience remains free of such things.

Many journalists who are frequently engaging in conversations that would be deemed highly sensitive are keeping up with the latest thread model material and following best security practice, moreover, the circumstances we know in this case make me question if any individual outside of the most security paranoid, could have prevented being hacked in this way.

This was an iOS 0-day that appears to have targeted iMessage [1] and worked via zero-click, meaning user interaction wasn’t necessary. CitizenLabs says that in one case, the initial vector appears to be Apple’s own servers.

So you’ve got people with modern (if not the latest) phones running the latest software on what is considered to be the most secure mobile operating system and you have highly-targeted attacks that appear to be state-sponsored, with high precision, going after these individuals.

What could education do to help in this case? Literally every single person I know, and this includes some extremely sophisticated security experts, would have been victims here too.

In the abstract, I agree with more training — though I’ll offer that these resources are widely available already in many newsrooms — but in this case, it would have done nothing.

> Puritans may feel like so much sexuality and hedonism tries to cheat and get the benefits, while not suffering consequences, like pregnancy, adult responsibility of family life etc. That it hollows out the sanctity of this intimate and symbolic act.

Not a puritan, but I could never explain that viewpoint to me with anything else than envy.

Like, being careful with sex if it may lead to unwanted pregnancies makes perfect sense - but those people seem even more upset at the possibility of sex that has no risk attached to it.

Isn't improving quality of life something we are all striving for? This movement seems to go the exact opposite direction and embrace suffering instead of joy.
Correct. It costs's a lot to hire a new employee. I'd say for a small/medium size company hiring an engineer in the 100k-200k range, the cost of hiring is easily at least 6 months of that person's salary if not more.
> There’s a LOT of evidence that masks reduce COVID spread. What there isn’t, is conclusive evidence that lets us say with a 95% degree of probability that masks work. Or carefully designed scientific studies that prove this.

Well, if we take the view that evidence doesn't require scientific studies then it is just your bullshit vs my bullshit. You say different levels of Covid hospitalizations in districts with mask mandates vs districts without. I say confounding factors. I say the U.S. has high levels of mask use yet still high levels of Covid spread. You say confounding factors. Etc.

The entire IT industry is a great example because there is a massive amount of bullshit, cargo culture, and magic silver bullets that doesn't really work in it.

Wow, I didn’t realize I’m older than the internet. When I have grandkids, I’ll tell them stories that start with your first paragraph.
it is cheaper to just move around a FSO than build up the necessary infrastructure. And once the wells have dried up, the FSO could have been moved elsewhere at least
One of my sons has Asperger syndrome. He's brilliant, happy, and has one of the sharpest senses of humor I've encountered. I'm not sure if his Asperger syndrome is a net positive or negative in his life, but it's certainly not a straight-up disability.

Perhaps the author was thinking about a strong form of Autism that pretty unequivocally makes life difficult?
