Facebook's anti-abuse system, defeated by running curl in a loop, and then pinky-swearing that you're the owner of the account? Sounds about right.
As someone living far off in India with a really small number of libraries and even smaller number of updated books - this is a fascinating read.

Yup I have several of these sharp air filter/humidifiers and I find that they really improve the indoor air quality. It's very subtle, and for the most part you don't even notice a difference when they are running. But when I have accidentally left one turned off for a while I have definitely noticed when I woke up with a horrifically dry throat and nose, or come home to a very stale smelling house.
Because I launched it as a free app... I didn't have any confidence in it and at that moment, there was no way for me to accept payments internationally.

I recently revamped the app, added features like real-time collaboration, chrome-app integration etc., and put that under a subscription. But have no time to market or spread the word around. Moreover, I'm not sure how to get free users to convert over to paid so, that's why exactly why I think this site is an apt example for this topic.. haha!
OSX never used X server, AFAIK.

DPS was available as extension on X11, but it wasn't the same implementation as on NeXTSTEP, where AFAIK even the old 0.8 code already used Mach IPC for communication with window server.

I was under the impression that in a distant past tribal wars ceased at the first blood, serious wound or at worse first victim, and didn't induce a major risk for non-combattants.

Modern politics and weaponry changed transmuted tribal wars into contemporary wars, some with systematic massive massacres and such.

If true it may mean that most 'classic' tribal wars were way less damaging than WW1 or WW2. In any case it seems hard to imagine how even some extreme tribal war may be more damaging than a total nuclear war.
The environment getting worse is a matter of fact, not ideology. You can argue in bad faith about the meaning of the word 'worse' if you want, trying to claim it's too subjective, but I think we all have roughly the same idea of 'worse' and know that that's what the environment is getting.

Russia invented the largest nuke ever and are still innovating in the space with the new Satan 2 missile that can pretty much wipe out the eastern seaboard. So America isn't the only homicidal maniac. Putin gives us a run for our money.
Maybe I'm wrong here, but I think splitting "working class", "middle class", "professional class" and other similar names is incorrect simply because of ambiguous definitions.
What is even "middle"? Median middle? Average middle? By what metric? Income? Assets? Income and assets? Education? Mobility? Why are "workers" different from "professionals", who decided that? There can't be professional workers? Or is it cut simply looking at education? What about people changing professions? What about countries where higher education is "mandatory" and the system is abused?

This classification is flawed by design, no wonder it's getting flawed results.
Using actual Macs is the only way. Apple does not care about helping cloud providers in any way (e.g. even just an exception to the 24h rental requirement would be huge for them, but not even AWS got that).

Are you going to patch it to decade old binaries? How are you going to handle that Wordperfect from 1998? It certainly won't respect you new protocol.

How the compositors are supposed to handle that?

If you are not going to handle it, and just let it behave as it behaves today, you are still not achieving your goal of scaling all clients properly, and kind of throwing away that 30 years of development by making it unusable anyway.
For others new to this subject on HN, go to Algolia and search for ADHD.

Here's a question I posed a while back, with some helpful responses. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21716306

Also, it's worth diving into the literature on a number of conditions if you're unsure or curious. For me, I only started to think something was really different when I compared my interests and how obsessively I'd learn about them, with the friends I'd be talking with over coffee. There was something seemingly absurd about how much I'd think about an idea or subject, compared to the most I was able to get someone talking about anything they were compelled by. Usually this had to do with systems or cities or the like, and so at first I was leaning more towards high level autism. It's hard to analyze yourself from the outside, so a practitioner who can ask hopefully specific questions about your family and history is very helpful.

Otherwise, if you've found something that works for you, then it probably doesn't matter what your label is, just roll with it.

Lastly, I do appreciate the sharing of personal experience. I'm a SE who has been out of work for 7 months and doesn't have a damn clue how to succeed or how to keep pushing. Have lost 6 jobs over 8 years for varying reasons, and it's a tough life for someone with ADHD symptoms. It's extremely easy to burnout, because to be motivated means to be very motivated to a fault, among other reasons. Then when you do burnout, you realize that nobody actually gives a shit about the work you do, and you sink to the bottom when you get fired.
For me it’s x2x. It’s painful to think how many useful tools Wayland is deprecating.
It wouldn’t be too difficult to publish it as a zip file on one of my sites; but no need (at present). GH is quite convenient. I do believe in open source, but I don’t really care too much about Free Software.

>Why are people still so surprised

Are they surprised? I did not see a lot pro-Stadia support. It was clear right from the start this was a DOA product.
This is a furphy. None of the comments here containing the word "calm" have, on review, made that claim. They are all personal anecdotal observations. Indeed there are also dissimilar observations. This is consistent with my experience of discussion within ADHD-specific forums, at least in part because people aren't generally so stupid as to generalise their personal experience to a universal ambit claim.

Neither is such a statement made on the product labels.

I have seen such absolute statements along such lines made in the popular press and their online equivalent, but I'd rather leave toilet paper out of the discussion.

So by all means, do not believe the statement is true, but understand that there is, in fact, no broad acceptance or community belief of such an absolute statement being true, and furthermore, rather crucially, that what you may believe has no bearing whatsoever on the veracity of individual experiences.

Consequently, even the anecdotal reports have continuing clinical relevance, because:

* Medicine is the field of treating a patient, and if the result is a better adjusted, rested, and socially engaged individual, then any such observed effect for the individual patient calls for psychiatric consideration. What such effects are not, is diagnostic, or the basis for a product claim; and,

* Science is the field of explaining phenomena, and the reports are not adequately explained by the research, in large part because the wide gamut of behaviours, symptoms, mechanisms, measures, and outcomes collectively labelled "ADHD" are themselves a very poorly explained and haphazardly classified selection of neurological variations from the population majority. This being, of course, a very common circumstance in the young field of psychiatry.

All of which means there is no such paper, and besides, no-one is even writing one.
Having talked with some multimedia developers, EGLStreams is actually the better API, but it's nVidia's and thus disliked, whereas the other side wants you to use DRM-specific buffer sharing mechanisms... which won't work for non-DRM driver like nVidia (and then there's IIRC some licensing issues that mean nVidia can't use DRM, and so on).
The sheer amount of know-how required to not shoot yourself in the foot is intimidating to me at least - i.e. I am much more comfortable working on a compiler than setting up a server in a way that it doesn't get pwned

I want to get some kind of CI going that can spot cache miss hotspots, and other things like that (ideally implementing Intel TMA) - the price is reasonable, the software is hard but solved, but I literally have no idea how to run (or better, how not to run) a bare metal server safely.
I don't think nukes did that. The news media did that.
Stimulants dont treat ADHD they merely help to manage the symptoms/deficiencies. I get frustrated with the anecdata about stims affecting people with ADHD differently, this was not the case for me, I was just as susceptable to the typical stimulant effects of my meds as much as I felt they provided a much needed boost in areas I feel Ive always been deficient in which relate to my ADHD diagnosis. I think my annoyance stems from thinking its people justifying their stimulant use, desperste to legitimise it. I have an inattentive variety, which might explain why those with the more compulsive type find the meds appear to induce almost depressive/calming response. This is still one of the normal range of effects of stimulants, ADHD or not. The calming effects and drowsiness are not unique to ADHD sufferers, but they are paradoxical resonses. Most drugs have these.
Lovely, I've just bought it... very nicely done!
This would be more believable if there was a surplus of new Windows/Chrome OS desktop apps. Even macOS which is doing a little healthier basically gets a couple of indie commercial apps that people care about them.

When I set out to learn new skills, I usually try to wrap them in a project. I also try to document and open-source the whole process, both for my own learning, but to enable other to leverage my failures and learnings.

Here are the projects I've done so far:

https://github.com/maxvfischer/Arthur An AI art installation I built from scratch using a GAN network, Samsung The Frame, a button and a PIR-sensor (including, code, images and tutorial). The main draft is almost done, but quite some polishing to do.

https://github.com/maxvfischer/shibusa An automatic Zen Garden drawing infinite patterns in sand. Using stepper motors, inverse kinematics and a Raspberry Pi Zero W (including, code, images and tutorial). I'm almost done building the robot, but still have quite some implementation to do. Also, the guide is far from done, I've mostly uploaded images so far.

https://github.com/maxvfischer/DIY-arcade A full-size Arcade Machine I built from scratch (including, code, images and tutorial). It's done, but there's a lot of improvements that can be done.

Who is downvoting this and why? Face it, Xorg is on life support. The only patches it still receives are Xwayland-related fixes.
For a fictional exploration of the "doomed to recreate it all" phenomena, there's a nice novel called "Canticle for Leibowitz" where post-nuclear-armageddon scientists are in part blamed for the nuclear war and knowledge is explicitly culturally rejected... but then slowly crawls back into the picture.
I'm pretty concerned that in the not too distant future it will be impossible to build your own PC without having to drop a ton of money for something subpar, since most are happy paying $50 per month to rent their PC from the cloud.

We used to have a flour mill with a very similar board. We sometimes were forgetful to update it and never paid much heed to it until an incident occurred. We did reset it that day - brought to our attention how much the 0 days mattered.
Totally agree this is what is happening and Google may be dense enough to believe this is a winning strategy (or a way to salvage their investment). But this is not how you create a competing gaming console, or gaming platform, or whatever Stadia is. Worse, this is a pivot, which also signals Google is ready write-off the entire exercise. That doesn't give consumer and publishers a lot confidence in viability of Stadia.
The whole debate boils down to:

Shall we conflate "technological progress" with "predatory capitalism"?

If your answer is "yes" then Sale is right.
If your answer is "no" then Kelly is right.

---

Technology by itself never "destroys" anything except certain ways of life, perhaps, and even then many people opt not to have their way of life destroyed or disrupted (assuming they have the choice, which not all do). Case in point: a chunk of the modern people no longer want to live in the cities and start living in more rural areas again (I don't keep around the link for the study though).

Many people described technology as a weapon: it can be used for a number of purposes.

Can it be argued that the more advanced technology has made it easier for the bad guys and thus their predatory capitalism is destroying society? Sure, I would agree with that. But it made it easier for the good guys, too. Arms races will always exist, it seems.

But I can't deny things started grim lately. Not sure what the answer is but it surely isn't destroying all tech.

We do however have to stand up to some corporations, that much seems clear.
I think super symmetry is almost falsified. People just cling to it because there is (almost) nothing else. If any new theory comes around without supersymmetry (but other predictions) people will jump ship.
Well the British recovery was almost certainly slowed by the introduction of austerity following the return of the Conservatives to power.

The European (i.e Eurozone/EU) recovery was knocked back by the raising of interest rates by the ECB in 2011.

And finally, the US did recover better because they put a lot more proportionally into stimulus (even though it wasn't enough, as later events showed).

I'm not sure that you can suggest that the flexible labour market was a cause of that (and indeed, one would have expected the UK to recover quicker than the rest of Europe then, as they have more flexible labour laws).

Same as for any other platform: because it's one place more you can sell your games.
Many thanks for the feedback on the site, perhaps we need to get some more dense technical details either on there directly or adding to the existing docs on the github repo.

Command pattern is definitely one pattern we've seen these tamper-evident logs applied to; you can easily imagine a system where, say, config update "commands" are packaged off and written to a TE log, and then workers apply those commands to a system if and only if they are convinced that the commands were properly logged. If the admins/command-workers/auditors etc. can all prove they're looking at the same set of logged commands (which is the property that these tamper-evident logs are intended to provide), then you have a reliable and tamper-evident audit trail of all changes to your system.

There are a bunch of other scenarios we think these things might be useful for too, and we're trying to explore (and help others explore) these and provide mechanisms for reasoning about the properties of such systems.

>> Valve did build out a lot of features like Remote Play and streaming on Steam, but just to a level of ok functionality.

I think Remote Play works brilliantly? I've finished multiple games using it, streaming from the PC at the other side of the house to the TV with SteamLink in the living room, using an Xbox One S controller. I hardly see a difference compared to sitting directly behind the PC (granted, this is limited to 1080p on the SteamLink hardware, but my eyes are old enough to not care about higher resolution anymore).
There's a theory that PTSD can be cured by moving your eyes left and right. The rationale for this is that your brain calms the fight or flight response if it thinks you're actually fleeing. But the feedback to the brain comes via the eyes, and as you walk forwards through a landscape your eyes dart left and right.

When I first heard this theory I immediately thought of the number of games where you're heading into a 3D world and if this is part of the calming effect some of these games have.

I want something like this, but for dining rooms. If I were the king of the world, this would, by mandate, be built into every table.

I have a quirk that I can't stand eating in silence - hearing the biting and chewing sounds of other people, and of the utensils in operation, is causing me extreme discomfort (this also applies to my own sounds, but I usually have computer fan noise to accompany me when I eat alone). I need a source of noise - intense table conversations, or background music - anything that stops my mind from focusing on the sounds of food being eaten. My wife knows about this, and whenever we visit our families, she secretly arranges for some sort of music to be playing by the time we sit to dinner.

I don't know if everyone is fine with Apple making so many changes. I think it's because they have no choice, being stuck with whatever Apple decides.

eg. for years you couldn't resize a window from the left edge and everybody was "fine" with it. When they actually bothered to implement it, it was astounding to think you couldn't do it before!

As for me, I await each Apple release with trepidation and fear.

Will my audio hardware continue to work? (They break the utilities most releases).

Will I need to buy a new version of Parallels or VMWare because Apple changed the virtualisation API? (This happened a few years ago).

Will my apps no longer work? (Goodbye useful 32 bit apps that I can't find a 64 bit version of).

Will they just break random things? eg. PDF viewing, Quickview of multiple files (both of these happened to me).

Will they change random things for the sake of it? eg. Giant spacing between icons on the menubar on Big Sur. Behaviour of the maximise button into "full screen" button just because they could (a few releases ago).

Will my machine be slower for no apparent reason? HFS+ to APFS makes my machine start up TWICE AS SLOW.

The best bits are due to the Objective-C message passing, old apps will make a "call" to a function that no longer exists and it won't break - it'll just do nothing. You literally have no idea if your app will continue to work between releases, even if it runs and the certificate for the app hasn't expired...

And I say this as a daily user of macos! It just isn't reliable between releases.
