Probably because hospital staff are the ones who would afford it and truly benefit. Maybe some patients there. It's probably too late for most of them.

Single use masks are much easier, but indeed there's a lot of mask-like products that have enough leakage to let a tank through, or have an unfiltered vent which is unacceptable.
I don't know why it would make sense, even (apart from having fun doing it). We do not print books at home even though we all have printers, we use print shops for that.
Author of the OP here. What you're describing is a bad experience with GNOME, not with Wayland. Each of your examples works great on most other Wayland compositors.

The ignorance which leads you to blame it on Wayland is a major part of the same frustrations I'm venting in this rant. No one is saying you can go fuck yourself for wanting these use-cases. We're saying you can go fuck yourself because we made these use-cases work for you, and you still blame it on Wayland when GNOME is the one not playing ball.
Right you are, that's the group responsible. It's something of a priority for RISC-V international right now, because of exactly this worry.

RISC-V International is sometimes really bad at communicating that it's working on these problems. But odds on, they usually are.
You must have been looking away when I used air quotes around the word fun.
Yeah seriously. The Gnome project is go-to example of non-ad-driven user-hostile FOSS software development.
> This, uh, looks like a semi-propaganda website.

In agreement with im3w1l, simply attacking the website is pure argument ad hominem.
When I hear RISCV hype, I can only think about ARM and the extremely sorry state of cross-compatibility there (see: Linux device tree and various vendor bsp junk), and how RISCV is just likely going to be same except worse. So, no I have no high hopes for RISCV.
This is a premature optimization. Making things cheaper isn't the solution when there's a giant, engorged parasite sitting in the middle of the system sucking up all the slack. As soon as you make things cheaper, the parasite will just gobble up all your savings. Get rid of the parasite first.
It is like blaming HTTP because of the cookie warnings you get everywhere. Yes, cookies are part of HTTP, but the warnings are not.
Hey HN!

Back in 2019 a group of us got together and tried to start a writing club. We came up with our first prompt: Growing Pains

It was a fun (and challenging) exercise. Best of all, we had a great time reading each other's essays. Over the years, the book has been cute to share with friends and visitors.

We recently thought to ourselves, why not share this with the world?

We took a Sunday, and here we are : )

If you like the idea behind this, we hope you'll check out our book. Perhaps it will inspire you to make your own book with your friends!
Sounds like your experience aligns very much with what we're trying to build for and solve! I'll reach out through your email right now :)

With single payer you will have unqualified bureaucrats as well. You need to decide who you pay for what and how much. That problem won't go away with single payer. I know because I live in a single payer country and it's a shot show. You may manage to make it more efficient maybe but you know, it's not like government run bureaucracy has great record of achieving that.
"people who owe them absolutely nothing"

What makes you think people owe nothing to each other in the open source ecosystem? I maintain a package for Fedora, I have submitted a few patches to the Linux Kernel, and I regularly report bugs. Do the Wayland developers not benefit from any of the above?

Even my mother, who is not very technical, has managed to identify bugs here and there which I report on her behalf. Do the Gnome developers not benefit from that?

We cannot all be contributors to every package we use, but we are all part of an ecosystem and we all have the right to ask for changes by others in that ecosystem. You call it whining, but you know what? When developers break use cases, users have the right to complain about it. If the Wayland developers do not want to hear those complaints, they should not be involved in developing software that millions of people depend on, nor should they have tried to replace software that millions of people depend on.

Jumping from "I didn't enjoy bubble tea" directly to "so they probably hate me because of their elitist socio-demographic biases" comes off as self-pitying, and pretty highly unrealistic.
Does anyone have info regarding their naming? Another commentator mentioned the bird in Hindu mythology but I'm curious why they chose that name. They also have a ||Shree|| at the top of their webpages.
What he claims is design flaws is highly contested. It’s claimed that the flaws leads to lower code density, but this is simply false when you consider compressed instructions, which is supported by most implementations. RISC-V with compressed instructions is better than 64-bit ARM.

The design of the compressed instructions is also much more elegant than ARMs Thumb instructions, which was reasonably dropped for 64-bit ARM
Lol. Now your server is returning 500s. Fitting.
Same, it's the same sort of compulsion that makes people stare at accidents.
Browsers should provide to websites the user's (typical) distance to the eye, and preferred zoom level. Maybe also the preferred type of input, to tell mouse users from finger users.

Obviously pixel count and screen ratio is complete nonsense, in this almost-glorious day of sweet variety of gadgetry. It will only become more of a nonsense, until we all switch to neural interfaces.

But since designers only have what CSS&JS provide, they cling to the pixel count and DPI, choose a font size according to someone's eyesight, and stick to that. This is bogus, and leads to fonts from something like two mm in height (ahem HN cough) to almost a centimeter, so I either have to stick my nose to the phone screen, or hold the phone at a full arm length and scroll like mad. And browser zoom is no help in this model.

Meanwhile, in the real world, all that matters is the visual angle of the font or image, and the user's eyesight. The first is dictated by the distance from the screen, and the second determines how much the content must be zoomed in from the perfect-vision scenario. In fact, since I wouldn't want the content to grow and shrink when I move my arm somewhat or lay back in the chair, perhaps devices could use some default visual-angle values according to their form-factor and typical usage, then adjust for the user's chosen zoom level, and report only one value to websites: either preferred visual angle, or zoom level from some global anchor value—whichever of the two is better to use for calculations.

With this info, the screen's pixel resolution affects only one consideration: whether a given line of text or other content would fit in the screen horizontally at the preferred visual ratio—or it must be broken or scrolled.
Still my overall favorite distro. Just wish it would "take off" and become mainstream -- it really has the right ideas, particularly with regards to package management.

Yeah, Wayland needs to act like X when using a pure X application.

But emacs X/"gtk" frontend has been controversial for a few reasons, with work having been under way for quite a while for a new frontend, somewhat unrelated to Wayland.

Xwayland not working on pinephone is ironically primarily an X problem, as Xwayland is just xorg-server compiled with only the Wayland backend enabled.

And, as there are little to no xorg developers, fixing xorg is proving tricky as there is no one to make a new xorg release...
Progressives would do well to understand how the Federal Reserve actively and enthusiastically promotes wealth inequality.

Take the response last year to the Coronavirus: quantitative easing and zero interest rates drove the stock market to all time highs in parallel with a massive rise in unemployment.

The wealthy got much, much richer. The poor got much, much poorer.
Just give things 30 years and see how it all develops.
There are situations where beekeepers may not actually want to capture the hive. Like dangerous ladder work when the have is on a second or third story and only accessible from the outside.

I luckily haven’t needed to deal with this, but I do know of people who’ve “thought” they had a “honey bee” problem, but the exterminator came out and confirmed it was a “wasp” problem.

This is an area where the intent of the law is good, but sometimes the real world issues of safety of acquiring the hive is complex enough that it’s not safe to attempt, and it’s not clear the law allows for that.

(And it’s not just CA that makes it illegal to kill bees, many states have similar laws)
IANAL. The loophole purports to originate from the federal juries needing to be made of people from the federal district _and_ state. Presumably, all the sparsely populated places are restricted to a single state and contained in federal court districts large enough to include enough people to assemble a jury.
Just don't watch Krunk's New Groove (the second film) it just isn't the same.
meta-meta-hilarious that HN readers are trying to censor this because it comes from a conservative outlet, even though it’s factually accurate.

This is only getting worse. You kids need to do some soul searching.
Agreed, what I see in that chart are mostly those US industries that managed to co-opt government policies for subsidies (college loans, mortgage deductions) or regulations (healthcare).

Why is the opposite of "bad government" always "no government" and not sometimes just "better government"?
Let's be honest, most wayland advocates do not give a single shit about people sticking on xorg.

They might care a little bit more when their only interactions are with snarky people going "sO yOu StILl CaN'T tAKe ScReEnShOts oN wAyLaNd haHaHa sHiTtY sOftWare", or legitimate assholes.
I use macos to read mail. They have been chipping away at mail bit by bit.

I have always used it in what's now called "classic layout" - message list above, current message below, sidebar with accounts/mailboxes.

In the message list, I could choose what columns were shown, how wide they were and in what order.

I could just click on the top of a column to sort one way, click again to sort another.

This would let me find all the mail today or last week in order. or group by subject. Or find everything with an attachment. or back to sorting by date with today at the bottom.

What I was waiting for was smarter mail rules. maybe nested rules. Maybe smarter ways to interact (without resorting to applescript)

But they dumbed it down and there's a dropdown to pick what to sort (drop twice if the order they chose was not what you expected). You cannot choose your columns. You cannot choose the order. rules have not gotten smarter and with a name like "classic layout", I figure it is one update away from gone.
On work, I know a couple of people who use vertical screens (including me). At home I have a large 43" 4K monitor (no scaling). A lot of websites think it would be something like a 23" 4K monitor and everything on the website is super large.
As rule of thumb, as more fancz the website is, the more is the website broken if you don't use just a 08/15 monitor.
The unstated information behind this bit is probably more important to understanding than all the rest. It might be wages or budgets or leadership or something else, but if it was innocuous they likely would have not been so vague.
I can relate. Sometimes I'm browsing a page, and zoom in (control+) to make the text larger. But then the webpage switches to its mobile view.

So it seems like we've broken desktop accessibility in favour to the mobile one.
You can even use the same .jnewsrc for multiple NNTP servers, so just running `NNTPSERVER=some.url slrn` works for me. But I'm hoping for a way to use multiple servers without re-launching the client.

EDIT: the subscribed groups need to exist on all the servers, though. Otherwise slrn drops missing ones.
Only, cloth masks _haven't_ caused massive damage, or even any damage. They've prevented damage, possibly _massive_ damage.

Can we do better? Yes. Are cloth masks useless "theater"? No, not even remotely.

> That's an incredibly disingenuous/uncharitable analogy for what I actually posted

It's really not. It would be disingenuous if it was aimed at one part of your post (we can do better). However, it is perfectly applicable when aimed at the "this is useless" part.
That's true. Hopefully Ozone will be officially released in Chromium/Electron which will make this as simple as that. At least in Discord, XOrg screenshare always gave me trouble.
In the 00s, we made a good living stepping in for U.S. clients to fix boondoggles from primarily U.S. consultancies and India consultancies. Through that experience, we reached by and large the same regional conclusions, and think they hold largely true today.

Canada is not mentioned in the article but should be, as well as Nigeria, Ghana, and the like.

I recommend figure out first how to be productive and secure with local work from home, then how to remain productive with multi-timezone distributed teams, and only then consider near- and off- shoring but in a dedicated not staff-aug model.
I agree with the annoyance at the change.

I would recommend BetterTouchTool (https://folivora.ai/) to get back the ability to maximize windows with a click. Also you can drag windows to the right or left of the screen, and it resizes to half the screen. Wonderful to put two applications side by side.
Personal computing has existed since say 1977.

Viable personal computing since 1981. GUI personal computing for the masses since 1993 or so.

That's 40 years with a conservative estimate. 5 years is 12.5% of the history of personal computing. So kinda yes.

Yeah, but I don't like mixing setups.
I have been plugging and unplugging multiple displays into my laptop since March. Usually I have emacs running locally (xwayland) and an emacsclient over X11 to a remote server. I have not experienced any issues so far. Maybe the readme is too conservative in this regard?

What happens if your RISC-V implementation doesn't meet the debian requirements? Or for that matter, provides some sweet instructions that speed up memcpy, or whatever, 100x?

Binary compatibility matters on anything that isn't compiled specifically for the machine.

Yocto/Gentoo might have been better examples if you want to argue binary compatibility doesn't matter. Particularly if you need to compile the bootstrap image just to get the machine to boot.
You can't play World of Warcraft well under wine and you call this one of your two big things?

The second being, screen sharing broken for you. Well, for me it works really well, maybe you didn't google hard enough?

Now I suggest you to google extremely hard on how to make x11 handle displays with mixed DPI. A way more common usecase than running World of Warcraft though a compatibility layer AKA Wine. If you find a good enough answer please reply.

I do have an NVIDIA card which forces me to restart my session on x11 everytime I need to play a game because of NVIDIA xenanigans. And everytime I finish playing the game I QUICKLY move out of the mess that is x11.

Linux is made of compromises. And While I'm in the low end of being screwed by wayland (have an optimus laptop) I vastly prefer my wayland user session than x11.
This was a key strategy in terms of deceiving my parents as a teenager. Never knew there was a name for it.
You missed the most obvious one - lack of public health insurance. The Western European countries pay half as much per capita for healthcare as the US, and get the same average healthcare outcomes.

Sure, the population is more unhealthy, so you’d not expect to get down to European levels just by implementing healthcare reform, but it’s the big difference.
Hi Carl,

purely judging from your profile picture it seems that you're about half my age :) and I think it's excellent that you're doing a bunch of things - personal blog, linux, tutorial post... Just remember - most of the guys around here tend to do it for marketing reasons (i.e. we want to find a job and we're advertising our capabilities), and those projects might not be the most interesting things out there.

Bottom line is - just because everybody else is doing it, might be because they have different motives than you, and I hope you'll do/build firstly what's interesting and fun, and secondly what's financially viable.

Good luck, have fun!

Beating the fabs at their own game? Not likely.
But maybe another game, probably.
It's a couple of years old, but this post on "Why I'm not going to switch to Wayland yet."[1] summarizes some of the concerns I have about switching to Wayland:

"at the moment there are several types of applications that not only don't work in wayland, but would be very difficult, or impossible to work natively in all major wayland compositors.

Examples (in order of importance to me):

* Programmatic output configuration (xrandr, arandr, etc.)
* CLI clipboard access (xsel, xclip)
* Third party app launcher/window switcher (rofi, dmenu, albert, docky).
* Clipboard managers (parcellite, klipper, Gpaste, clipman, etc.)
* Third party screen shot/capture/share (shutter, OBS, ffmpeg, import, peek, scrot, VNC, etc.)
* Color picker (gpick, gcolor3, kcolorchooser)
* xdotool

Until Wayland has all these (and more) and they are as stable and feature-rich as the existing apps on X, I will not willingly switch to Wayland.

PS: ydotool has been touted as an equivalent of xdotool, but ydotool has only a tiny fraction of the features of xdotool.

And it's unlikely that it'll get much better any time soon, as its README says:

"Since Jun, 2019, I have little time to maintain this project"

wtype is supposed to be another equivalent to xdotool, but it has even less features than ydotool.

If the rest of Wayland's X equivalents as feature poor as these, I don't hold out much hope for Wayland in the near future.

Where do they benchmark code candidates? This is hard, noisy and expensive (I see example reward for code size).

I am not an expert, but bayesian learning maybe more appropriate for such an expensive-sampling environment?

I recently set up one of their "stardust" instance, which is the absolute cheapest one I found at ~2€/mo. Works as intended , not much more to say about it.
Wayland gives a better way for those apps to draw on high resolution displays appropriately and at worst case if they don't know about Wayland they draw all the same as now via XWayland anyways. Ddevault actually created sway which is a Wayland i3 clone so his workflow probably wasn't all that different from yours on dwm.

Furthermore, these measures were specifically introduced to combat the spread. Previously, planes were a cesspool, you were almost guaranteed to catch a cold on a long distance flight. (Every. Time.)
Because Gnome on Wayland might not work, but maybe KDE on Wayland does or "i3 on Wayland" aka sway does. That's like saying "I tried switching to Linux but it doesn't work" because you couldn't make the dropbox client run. The protocol (linux ABI) works, but the implementation (dropbox on linux) doesn't.
