I find in fundamental sciences, sometime newer editions of book are not better, especially if you have a book where the first edition was like 100 years ago, then it build up a reputation (because it was good), next edition were getting better and better. Then the person who made these new editions retires/dies and somebody incompetent takes over, tries to give the book a 'new' organisation, and it turns into a big mess.

I remember when I asked a prof for a book recommendation, and he warmly recommended a title and author. Got the book from the library and it was a mess. Years later I saw an older edition (which the prof studied as a student) and it was beautiful. If you just flip through the new edition one the flaws are not obvious immediately.
Your "low effort" response proves that a computer program can be the same as a computer. Not what OP said.
Don't take my word for it, but I think those extensions aren't considered "external" as they're part of the PGSQL distribution.

It'd be something like nominatim.so, which is external to PGSQL and (AFAIK) has its own format for certain types of data and indexes.
> Firefox

Firefox is quite buggy on Wayland, you need to set up some environment flags before launching it, and there's a trove of bugs still open for it.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635134

> I'm sure there are a few esoteric bits which don't work

Like cut and paste between different kind of applications, which is an horrible user experience tbh.
No, it's just the same thing happening over and over again.

Rich screw poor. Poor want to strike back.

In theory everyone could be happy. It's just that there is a lack of willingness for it to happen.
I've found it very difficult to make screensharing work at all in Wayland.

On the other hand, the reason I switched to Wayland was that I wasn't able to get multiple monitors with different pixel densities working in Xorg. That works fine in Wayland, and since one of my monitors was unusable without being able to choose different pixel densities for each monitor, Wayland it is.

If it matters, I'm using Pop OS on a System76 Thelio.
So does OpenBSD's libc library differ a lot from say, Linux's libc library? Meaning: Suppose you want to write an app that can talk to both Linux's libc and OpenBSD's libc using some sort of "common language" that is compatible with both, would that be possible?
I created jogly.io -- it has about 80 users, powers about 4 startups that I know of and yet, it's so simple.

Easily submit HTML forms or JSON calls at it and it chucks the formatted data to an email or Slack channel.
lol. I find it interesting that ADHD makes for such a vogue discussion. The first paragraph describes me since I could remember. Call it what you want tho, it is what it is, and most of the world doesn’t care what you cannot focus on.

Just because other people have easy time doing boring work tho, why do we call this “attention deficit?” Why not call it “boring works sucks, and distractions are awful,” or whatever.

The best most interesting people I know all (probably) have adhd. It’s kind of a good thing, or the world would be very boring.

That’s all. Just a thought.

ps. As I am reading other comments, many focus on how other people have perceived them as better/easier after medication. But my question is, why do you care? I mean, 9 people will think you are nuts. So, hang out with the one that doesn’t? Seem better than taking meds for something that is “normal,” for a small percentage of the population. Why not give meds to the other people? :p
This is a bit blunt, but I'm with the commented who says:

> What a surprise. Desktop components requiring X do not work on Wayland. It's as if they're different display server protocol

Yes, it's a breaking change. Yes, old software will have problems.

But X11/XOrg has run its useful life
This is absurd. Author claims that "Wayland breaks automation software". They then use the "py37-autokey" tool as an example.

Autokey uses Xorg APIs for key handling. Of course this is not going to work on Wayland since it's written for Xorg and not for Wayland.

The author is probably the type of person that buys an AMD graphics card, and then complains that AMD "breaks" software that's based on CUDA...
Does it provide predictions that can be falsifiable? That's what we search for. In this context (anthropomorphic principle and multiverses to explain physical constants) I do think there are some statistical predictions possible that could be checked (after all this is why the multiverse theory got popular in the first place, the seemingly weird finetuning of constants).

Though, the outlook of getting an answer to "is there really a multiverse out there or is the multiverse just a sequence of simulation runs on some future teenagers quantum computer simulator trying to find the best set of meta-parameters" is probably bleak...
My biggest issue with Wayland is how it makes window managers a thing of the past.

i3, xmonad, elightenment, ctwm, WindowMaker and dozens of others appeared only because X made it easy.

Wayland makes developing window managers difficult again.
Most of our customers have SQL databases in the 5-20GB range. The largest one is around 100GB. Most of them self-host.

What would "this new tech" bring us and our customers, and would it be enough to justify the cost of porting?
> Screen recording works with Gnome's built in recorder.

okay, but what if I don't like gnome ? e.g. I had to record a screencap of a bug of a software (that, uh, occurs only under wayland) so I went under weston and, well apparently there is also a screen capture tool but it is incompatible. On X11 I use simplescreenrecorder no matter the desktop (I mostly use i3wm or KDE Plasma depending on the circumstances).

Also what's the way to set a different keymap, that would work for any wayland compositor ? `setxkbmap` used to work but doesn't anymore and this is fairly frustrating and I really really don't want to have to learn one command per compositor.

Moving windows (or even the mouse cursor) also feels absolutely sluggish on wayland, like the frame rate is halved.

X11 / i3 : https://streamable.com/fo8ixw

weston-eglstream : https://streamable.com/wmp6vy

Also switching in/out from a wayland tty apparently gets it stuck here.

etc etc... it's just painful from start to end
> you have to log into Steam and use it as a computer

If I recall correctly, you have to do this once, and it can save your log-in details for next time.

> You & I may be gamers or computer users, but normal people don't want to deal with that shit.

Gamers are their target audience.

> By having games integrate with Stadia's API, they can do other kinds of optimizations, like having simple optimized options, compares to Nvidia where you have to mess around with the settings like on PC.

That's true. I've found it's sometimes necessary to change the settings, as the default graphical settings are far below what the hardware is capable of handling.

I'm sure nVidia could do something about that if they had the will to.
Why do you need the other 18,000 bombs?

Every bomb must be purchased from the armaments manufacturers who actually control our society. The same who originally bamboozled Truman into damning our species. Your question is equivalent to "why do they want more money?"
I just checked schools in the UK where I live, they are pretty closed and no reopening plan has been announced till now. Scotland will announce something today. So the title is incorrect. Edit: grammar
That's great to hear! Thanks for the nice words.

In case it's useful, I'm slowly releasing the next set of features related to Performance Monitoring, including alerts and integrations (e.g. Slack).

The reason being: it'd be great to get notified when something seems off vs having to check the dashboards all the time.
I think Wayland is a nice way forward from X, right now it's still not a replacement because of how central X is and how much stuff interfaces with it specifically or make assumptions about X features. (and so indeed, Wayland kind of breaks "everything")

But I also think that they (Wayland) took a way too heavy napalm approach to the solution, almost like they totally ignored how painful such a transition would have been. I still don't get it...
Only Nvidia has a history of being uncollaborative to open source:

https://www.google.com/search?channel=fs&client=ubuntu&q=lin...

At some point, even in kindergarten, some kid's just being an ass.
Had a lot of them. Like radio which utilizes mpd. Music can be added via youtube links of uploading. You could vote and talk in a chat. And had telegram bot integration. Had to shut it down, but it's opensource https://github.com/pawnhearts/aiohttp_radio
The only env var you have to set is MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1.

You will probably also want to force enable webrender (gfx.webrender.all = true in about:config), which still isn't on by default apparently.

I've used this for more than a year on Sway. Recently I had some issues with addon dialogues , but mostly it's been running just fine and with best in class performance, very noticeably faster than Chrome.
It's more like "Nvidia claims they support a certain API, but it's utterly broken, and developers are rightfully fed up with that".
Things to consider when comparing the covid cases in brazil to other countries:

1. The government don't publish the number of covid deaths daily. The reported numbers are aggregate from a press consortium, and it is known to be underestimated;

2. Brazil has a public health system. Thus, people are treated for covid and pre-existing condition for free;

3. Houses are well ventilated. But in hot cities, like Manaus and Rio, recirculating air-conditioning are common in public places;

4. Mass public transportation is the norm for majority of population. Some have air conditioning, most don't;

5. Bolsonaro claims the federal government don't have autonomy to set public health guideline (despite the supreme court ruling the federal branch have "concurrent responsibility" with state branch).

6. Bolsonaro believes in heard immunity, preventive treatment with HQC and IVM and that lockdown kills more people than covid.

7. Hydroxicloroquine and Ivermectin are widely used as preventive treatment (I'm not making any consideration about efficacy, just letting you know);

8. The public health system is underfunded. Last month hospital in Manaus had a shortage of O2;

9. Three health secretary were fired/resigned since the start of the pandemic. The current one publicly said that he didn't know how the public health system works. Also, he is a veterinary from the army;

10. Multi generational family houses are common;

11. The entity that sets to health guidelines support the prescription of treatment without proven efficacy (such HQC and IVM).
I really miss the network transparency in Wayland. Just being able to start a program on another machine through an SSH session is so useful. You can use something like vnc but a "whole desktop in a window" is slower and not as handy.

I'm on freebsd mostly anyway which isn't big on the Wayland train so I'm fine for now. But it would be great if X11 development would be continued.
>He did not think the currency issue was close at all,

Thank you for catching that, I stand corrected with respect to the judging of the economy. It's interesting that there are commenters here taking issue with my point disputing that, when it turns out not even the judge, Bill Patrick, felt that question was close! People will really debate anything.

As you point out, Bill did, however, remark that the other questions were close, and asserted that Kirk was not merely close, but correct(!) on the other two questions. I am surprised about that, for reasons more or less along the lines you mention.
This is true, but we are much more desensitized against carnage on the roads.

There is a fantastic line in Neil Gaiman's American Gods:

“There were car gods there: a powerful, serious-faced contingent, with blood on their black gloves and on their chrome teeth: recipients of human sacrifice on a scale undreamed-of since the Aztecs.”
The author obviously hasn’t tried plugging a high dpi monitor in to a laptop if they don’t understand what’s wrong with X. Wayland solves so many of my problems and so far the only thing it breaks is screen capture in electron apps. And not even all electron apps. Discord has no problems.
Tomato is a fruit

In botany, sure. So are Peppers, Beans, Peapods, Avocado, Squash, Zucchini, Cucumbers, Olives, Corn Kernels, Pumpkins & Nuts.

In culinary terms, though, most of these are vegetables - none of them are fruit. Mostly because none of these are sweet in the same way as fruit. I think tomatoes get brought up because their sweetness ranges between "vegetables" and "fruit".
This is the sweetest and most wholesome thing I've seen in a very long time. Kudos to you!
Show HN: 1300 Activities to propel your Product Launch
I'd say it's generally known - everyone is aware of nukes and what nukes can do. The difference is they're considered much more of a known quantity these days: you can't use them, you don't use them, and you also can't fight a direct war with any country which has them. The idea of the "mad Russians" launching against the US has worn out, but watch what happens when you talk about Iran or North Korea having them.

What's more worrying is that most nuclear policy in the US was centered around condensing launch authority solely with the President of the United States - there's a heck of a lot of assumption that that person is a sane, rational elder statesmen type.
You may want to know that this also happens in more expensive providers like AWS.

As a counterpoint, in my experience of a bunch of years with Scaleway they have always worked quite well. I left them due to the price getting out of hand.
Not what is happening at all.

GME was trading below net cash last year, which is insane. E-commerce is growing 300% YoY and Ryan Cohen, former founder and CEO of Chew, just made a major move as an activist investor. If GME was valued by VC measures, it would be trading at $420. Most of the people on WSB believe in the value of the company and have faith in a successful turnaround.
oh wow, this is peak FIRE

I've learned never to take concerta when I'm tired, it will make me extremely sleepy and I'm liable to sleep the entire day (which is not necessarily what I want on days I have something very important to do).

I'm an extremely light sleeper and always had a very hard time falling asleep, so my guess is that concerta quiets down my brain enough that the chronic lack of sleep catches up on me.
Any screen recording recommendations?

Most I tried didn't work well (just didn't work, or broken keyboard shortcuts). I was a big fan of Kazam and Peek.
If you're referring to the original URL https://projectf.io/posts/fpga-graphics/, then there are no sprites involved. We define a square mathematically, then check whether it has collided with the edge of the screen. It's a quick way to produce animated graphics with minimal knowledge and code.

The second post on Pong https://projectf.io/posts/fpga-pong/ includes collision checking between the ball and paddles at the drawing level.

I plan to cover full sprite collisions and overlap in a future post. In the meantime, there is a post that covers sprites with transparency: https://projectf.io/posts/hardware-sprites/

I think I have mild ADHD, but I don't need to take meds if I have these life habits that greatly helped me.

* sleep as you mentioned

* omega 3 and multivitamins (including vitamin D)

* exercise in the morning if possible then on the evening if not possible.

* no strong lunches ( eat something that energizes you but for a long time, lately I have been eating just cooked beans and the energy I get from that is very stable and durable, beans is so cheap and so nutritious ) this avoid lethargy feelings after lunch

* not too much coffee not too less, Coffee does help but too much, it actually increases the chatter in my brain.

* One of the latest things I applied is pomodoro and daily TODO, this I feel solved for all my adhd problems. Keeping focus is an habilitie that you can train, forcing to be focus for 25 minutes is a good enough time. I get more work done and get less at the end of the day.
Do you have any learning materials recommendations for digital design and fpga programming?
A few months ago I came back to Arch with Gnome and Wayland after several years with Mac. Sadly, default Gnome installation is way less functional now than it used to be back then. Screen sharing doesn't work in Skype and Slack because of Wayland. Apparently Zoom circumvents this by making a series of screenshots. Systray is missing and most of extensions that promise to restore it don't work. Some parts of UI(e.g. weather widget) relies on emojis that are not installed by default. I understand that sometimes you need to break stuff in order to move forward but I think this has gone too far already. (I ended up with X11/Cinnamon)
You can quite easily be using wayland right now and not even notice it. It’s even the default on some distros now. Basically the only things holding it back are proprietary screen capture tools and nvidia.
Sexy exciting SF theories like the Everett Multiverse get a lot of press, but they are sideshows when it comes to bread and butter physics. No actual enquiries into physics or our understanding of the universe are being obstructed by it, so I don't really see how it's a problem.
Is Nitro a problem? It's there to stop users destroying the hardware, and has minimal performance impact.
Hetzner is great for cloud but especially for dedicated instances. If you have your infrastructure as code, buying dedicated servers there is likely much cheaper and easier than using a large cloud provider and trying to scale.

Only issue I have with them is that there's no way to get 10gbit/s (not even burstable) and that you don't get datacenters outside of Europe.

Not affiliated with them, just a very happy customer.
There might be some good stuff here for Wayland devs, but otherwise seems to be mostly the usual dumpster fire (good for for roasting popcorn, though).

Stopped reading at this gem from the OP a long way down:

> For all the Wayland proponents here, why argue in places like this, wouldn't it be a better use of your time to send PRs to fix things like MaartenBaert/ssr#431 and vkohaupt/vokoscreenNG#51.

Time perhaps to invoke Teddy Roosevelt:

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Hats off to the Wayland devs. We're cheering you from the sidelines.
Wayland represents an interesting and possibly classic software situation - a beautiful standard has been developed. It blocks the user from using a screenshot application in the name of security.

Now when the standard gets rolled out kludge will be developed to allow users to still take screenshots. The beauty of the standard will be compromised or everyone will spend a bunch of time pretending the kludge isn't de-facto part of the standard.

Wayland's model of user security was a mistake if the goal was getting typical users to use it. It isn't secure, it just means screenshots will be done with a kludge. I think literally everyone I know who owns a computing device (I'm counting phones and tablets) wants to be able to take screen captures to show people things.
https://lwn.net/Articles/806776/ says, system-call-origin verification is for mitigation of ROP. ROP is (always?) a result of stack buffer overflows, which are a result of bad programming in asm/C/C++, but usually not a thing at all with modern languages like Go, Rust, Swift, Haskell, etc. while C/C++-programs usually use the libc already. This enforces programs written in such languages to use another layer, written in C, that is not really necessary but might introduce new vulnerabilities. Do I miss something?
We all saw this coming.
> But more to the point, that the problem is that moving away from Xorg as a display server really needs to happen eventually

Yeah, to a "better Xorg". The problem is people don't believe Wayland is a "better Xorg".
Honestly this sort of stuff is why using Linux as a desktop is actually super painful. 99% of the issues I suffer on my desktop I wouldn't suffer if I was using Windows or Mac. And all the reasons why I use linux are development reasons, container support is built in where on other os' it's virtualised, performance is faster on Linux than Macs, the CLI terminal application is better than on Windows, etc.

If the CLI terminals improved on Windows that they could compete with any of the Linux ones, I would probably switch to Windows since it's now got a ubuntu compatibility layer.
Here's a langoustine and summer berries dish I had back when restaurants were open. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCVEto6FUMn/

you're on the right track, using a sweeter shrimp, in this case a langoustine, small red shrimps would work too. lightly cooked or seared.
salt, fat and depth comes from the pork belly to provide a base layer.
and instead of balsamic as an acid to bind, they used a lemon beurre blanc with lemon thyme oil to add even more zing.

balsamic glaze should work too, strawberry and balsamic vinegar is amazing combination.
Do you use the proprietary drivers?
Hetzner have also just announced 5950X servers at €99/mo ($120 USD/mo), bringing Zen 3 to the data center early.
