A Steam dedicated Source Engine game server push notification service: https://ikamu.io

It’s been live and running for 6 months but generates no revenue, and has only a few users. It has monetised features, but no payment or subscription mechanism.

You add your favourite server ip addresses, favourite map names, then you get push notifications whenever any of those servers starts playing any of those maps.

I created it specifically to watch all Zombie Escape servers in CS:S and CS:GO so that I could play whenever servers started playing my own maps in order to record and gather feedback for improvements. Nowadays though, It’s really only useful for some custom game modes on Garrys Mod, Counterstrike Source and Counterstrike Global Offensive (such as Zombie Escape, TTT, Zombie Survival) as they have large map pools, and each play can last for up to several hours.

Not a big fan of the hostility in the text and the comments under it. Wayland does indeed break compatibility at points with X, but I still believe it's a good way forward. I'm personally holding off on switching over until the desktop environment I use(KDE) says they fully support it, and that it's stable, but I don't really see the need to be this aggressive about it.
except this would not be the case. we just need M1 instance from Scaleway or whoever provide it as runner / job executor. not much data egress for those traffic.

Those are not economic problems. They are structural problems. People have decided to build their cities all at once and expect them to never change. They have convinced themselves that incremental progress will not or should not happen and that any problems can be solved by running away from them.

A homeless crisis is easy to explain by counting numbers. Count the number of people, count the number of houses and count the number of jobs. The mismatch between those numbers is your housing crisis.

Why is there a mismatch? Because one of those numbers refuses to change despite an upwards trend in the other numbers.
Anybody knows if Scaleway it's better than the parent company?

I was an online.net costumer for a lot of years for a personal project, and a happy one, but then they changed the contract unilaterally, which included the billing going up almost 75% with another changes in the ToS. And look I get it, sometimes prices rises, and you can always change providers, so the problem was not that... but the customer service and poor communication.

I only notice the change, after my credit card notified my of a higher charge than the ones I'm used to. There was not notification about it in the dashboard. And after a lot of tickets with representatives, they told me under the excuse of "ram / hdd prices are going up" the notice was send through email, and probably gmail mark it as spam... and then the nightmare to cancel begin.

After telling them to cancel the account, they told that under the new contract (that I didn't accept) they could only do it if I got charged another extra month, even if from the start you always payed one month in advance, plus paying the setup fee at the beginning.

Look I get it, hardware it's messy and prices can go up to stay in business, but this attitude of "I am altering the deal, pray I don’t alter it any further" was the one that made me look for another solutions, and be skeptical about Scaleway despite in paper being a good alternative to Digital Ocean (that let me tell you, DO customer service it's gold in comparison to what I got from online).
Seriously problems happens, and you should not held Scaleway responsible for THIS.

However-- you can definitely hold Scaleway responsible for the crazy price hike (that happened two or three times), very bad support (it improved a bit lately).

So the US bailed out the banks with a Trillion dollars, got it all back with a profit, used massive QE to successfully cushion their economy, without inflation. Which is bad.

Meanwhile the EU which at the time was crippled over Greece, lagged far behind in the recovery and still haven't properly addressed deep flaws in the Euro are our saviours?
Wayland doesn't even work for me, so I guess I don't have such problems. I'm not really into the actual arguments between NVidia and Wayland folks, but I suspect it's something like "they don't want to bow to us, therefore we don't want to work with them" from both sides. Like a kindergarten ;)
This reminds me of the "lump-of-labor fallacy" fallacy [0]:

<< When economists invoke the "lump-of-labour fallacy" I have to wonder how much research they have done on the history of the fallacy claim and how much documentation they have looked at on opinions of people who are alleged to believe there is a fixed number of jobs in the economy. I have done extensive research on these matters and the answer seems to be 0 and 0. >>

I don't want to be a stickler, but Europe isn't a country. It is simply inaccurate to claim that "Europe have a more stable society compared to the USA." There are countries within Europe that has extreme wealth, and extreme poverty, while most countries in Europe are still far better developed than, say, most countries in Africa. With that said, the best developed countries in Europe do seem to have a better social security system than the USA, but at a high cost.
The article says it quite clear:

>"Predicio is present in twelve messenger apps, including apps masquerading as Telegram and WeChat. X-Mode is present in apps such as Messenger Go and Messenger Pro that mimic the branding of Facebook Messenger, with at least 60 million downloads."
It's the same, there's no "parent company", Online rebranded as Scaleway. Just a 75% increase ? You've been lucky. They also raised the prices two times since then on the Scaleway IaaS VMs.

Stay away from them, I don't see how they could be trusted with pricing again

The irony of this comment is you say

> The global poverty line has been on steady decline

That's about right. We measure poverty as less than $2 per day. It's an arbitrary number. It would need to be $7.50 to prevent malnutrition and lower than 50% mortality. If we use the 7.50 mark the number of people in poverty has increased dramatically since the 80s.
Good advice would have told you (and still does today) to short $GME ... as it's currently at the very least 500% of anything remotely resembling a reasonable valuation. It's value is completely artificial.

And the same is true. A DCF of, say, Google, Facebook, Intel or (working from revenue) Amazon does not yield anything remotely close to their market cap, and of course market cap should be quite a bit below that (because if you actually start buying those shares it will go up).

So feel free to point me to this advice worth millions ...

The multiverse usually refers to multiple universes each with their own big bang, existing in regular space, but outside our light cone. It is a completely unscientific theory, in the sense that there is no chance of ever proving or denying it, by its very construction.

The many worlds interpretation is completely unrelated, and it doesn't suffer from this problem of being unfalsifiable even in principle. However, I would also not say that the MWI is a straightforward deduction from the laws of QM. It rejects the most visible effect of those laws (the Born rule, i.e. that they predict probabilities of classical events and not certainties) and replaces it with an infinity of "worlds". Even worse, it still doesn't explain WHY we can only "see" one such "world", while elementary particles can "see" all of them (i.e. it doesn't solve the measurement problem any more than Copenhagen interpretation). And there is also debate on how plausible it is to even define the "probability of a world", so whether MWI is actually consistent with the Born rule is somewhat in doubt.

There's also an OBS branch with Wayland support.
It's not generally known, particularly by the generation that was born at the tail end of the Cold War (like myself), and by people born later. We grew up without the fear of that particular flavor of Armageddon.

But MAD is still what keeps the world relatively peaceful. It also gives rise to certain paradoxes - like any attempt to create a better defense against nuclear weapons is also the biggest threat to mankind, because it risks breaking the MAD doctrine and thus inviting a nuclear first strike. For MAD to work, countries in their equivalence class (e.g. US, Russia and China are one class) need to be in lock step with their capabilities, so that no one can be struck without the attacker risking annihilation.

All those predictions would serve as evidence for the same theory without involving a multiverse.
I've had the opposite experience too. I have an Nvidia linux card and Wayland on Fedora has always worked very well for me. In comparison Xorg on Ubuntu was a nightmare on the same machine

it still doesn't explain WHY we can only "see" one such "world"

It's just that there's one of us in each world. The one in this world sees this one. The one in that world sees that one.
The evaporative approach will actually manage to do something that's generally impossible as it will actually cool down the air. Obviously this is the superior method to deal with hot dry air.

The use-case described in the article however:

>The east coast’s dry winter air, parched further by the radiators that can barely keep up with the chill, causes great discomfort to me and millions

suggests they're trying to heat the space they're in. At which point you'll need to recover any heat lost by evaporation anyway.

Not much constructive here...

I'm of the opposite opinion. Think twice before doing anything with X as the experience and knowledge you gain will soon be useless.

Instead invest in wayland, it works great and will only get better and X will only get worse at this point.

The pain points are few but yes, if you must have screen sharing with a particular app that doesn't work with wayland that might be a dealbreaker. If not, no reason to stay with X, pick a time when you are configuring a new computer or whenever it is a good time to make the switch and try it out.

Wayland fixes tons of security and inefficiency issues. You can also run xwayland, which is a compatibility layer that would fix 99% of the author’s complaints.

I’m not sure there’s a legitimate case to be made against Wayland at all. The author seems to have installed it without understanding what it is.

The implementation buried inside RapidJSON[0] is also very fast. Pretty much any library for protocols that encode floats to decimal strings needs such an implementation to be performance competitive.

Interestingly RapidJSON is one of the few JSON libraries for C++ that has a "full precision" mode. Most don't even do str->double conversions precisely.

Same here, I am using Sway WM on top of Wayland as my daily driver both at home and at work since early 2020. So far I am not really missing anything from xorg after all the horror stories that kept me from giving it an honest try earlier. This is of course a personal experience and I don't doubt there are things that might break, but I haven't encountered them and I'm very happy with Wayland.

I mean obviously jumping rope isn't directly useful, but you must admit we've come a long long way from the days of honda's asimo tumbling down the stairs.

> Wayland solves no issues I have

This is a common sentiment, but it is kind of funny. Because software engineers working for companies will know the struggle of trying to justify reducing technical debt, improving security practices, etc. but fail to see why these things are useful to them personally when the tables turn.

Wayland indeed “breaks a lot of shit” but it’s not an accident or done due to incompetence. Also, it’s worth noting that since there is not one Wayland server the way there is one Xorg server, that not all of this applies evenly. For example, wlroots-based compositors like Sway do not suffer from the screen recording issues as Sway just supports a permissive screen recording API out of the box. I do think the XDG portal idea is a good idea, though, overall, and that the security improvements will be worth the toil eventually.

But more to the point, that the problem is that moving away from Xorg as a display server really needs to happen eventually. The legacy is holding back desktop Linux quite a lot. Issues like supporting modern high DPI displays or multi-GPU setups are ones that Xorg struggles with that Wayland can be made to handle more elegantly (in case of DPI, already does significantly.) It’s not just that. There’s tons of weird old crufty garbage in Xorg. Clipboard is weird. Drag and drop is weird. Wayland is simpler and makes improvements that are welcome, like a good API for keeping window configuration synchronized to help eliminate “imperfect” frames.

No doubt there are issues. I have some choice words about the decision of GNOME to push for using dbus to communicate cursor size changes on high DPI setups, and I do not like the way client side decorations are favored in Wayland.
Now do this on FreeBSD too.
How do you prevent mediocrity when every employee is nice, accepting of failure of others but absolutely useless?
The engineering side did a great job on a complex technical task. It's satisfactory, kind of works, not great, not terrible.

What boggles the mind is that nobody is able to formulate who is Stadia even meant for. Who are the target customers?

Draw a Venn diagram of people who:

- care about gaming
- are OK paying full price for their games
- are OK paying 10 euros a month subscription
- are OK buying an extra controller
- have top-notch, 100% reliable internet connection
- are willing to accept occasional technical glitches
- are OK with Google's mercurial approach to product lifecycles

but do not:

- have a computer
- have a console
- have a Steam library
- mod their games
- subscribe to Nvidia's cloud gaming service

Just giving some off-hand estimates, my estimate is 0.00015% of the world's population meets these criteria. The only reasonable business model must be "people will want to try it out and then forget to cancel their subscription".
Well my point was to not compare with rainbows and unicorns but how it works in the real world. Also I'm not saying the US has a better system.

But just to entertain this discussion (big mistake), the problem is that you can't pay for surgery even if you're rich, which means that useful price signals for how to allocate resources are missing. You'll perhaps say: "Well it shouldn't be like that". I agree but there is a reason it ended up like this.
