So the union members are the luddites in this scenario. Which means in the long run, they are fated to evolve like the blacksmith of yore. No longer the center of activity, they went on to become machinists and mechanics, important cogs but not as important as before.
Yes. That’s great for you and people like you.

Please let others enjoy games the way they like to, also.
There are audiologists starting to work with misophonia patients now; you should see if there are any in your area and if they can help you with this at all. I've had some promising success so far.
Yeah, and the rest of the world still said "masks are a good idea" through all of that. It was pretty obvious what the CDC was up to at the time (trying not to cause panic buying, etc) but it was a terrible idea for them to do it.
Pretty grim, heh

I agree! I'm a computer architect, and I love playing around with FPGAs for doing 'fantasy architecture' projects (like a 16-core Z80 laptop, or a USB adapter for an old nCube supercomputer). A modern FPGA is like being able to tape out your own 350-nm chip for <$100 (and in many respects much better, when you get to make use of hard-macros like SRAM or PCIe/DDR controllers).
The point is not that nobody sees benefits in Wayland, but that the case for switching is a lot more ambiguous. There's a substantial proportion of people for whom it is a loss of functionality or effort for no benefits. With systemd there was no loss of functionality - it is compatible enough that if you don't make use of the new functionality you don't lose anything. With Wayland, if you depend on any number of different functionality aspects, you either lose functionality or have to pick specific compositors that implement additional protocols.

With respect to my time investment, it's down to having to switch window manager. I'm using bspwm, and rely extensively on the API it provides. I could probably transition that to sway if I had to. But I have no incentive to. It gives me no new functionality and solves no problems I'm having.

So I'll stay on Xorg until an incentive appears to justify the fairly significant time cost of reworking my workflows and/or a bspwm compatible compositor arrives (there's been an issue open for 5 years, and at least one - abandoned - attempt).

The time investment required to switch also means I'd be prepared to invest quite a lot in getting Xorg running if the situation is the same down the line at a point where I can't get an "off the shelf" dpkg of Xorg.

At the pace Wayland efforts are moving, I suspect I'll still be on Xorg in 5 years, and wouldn't be surprised if I still was on it in 10.

But really, the main point of my earlier comment was that there are real, concrete reasons for people not to move to Wayland that has nothing to do with belief. It would take time I don't have to make the move, and it doesn't provide me any benefits to justify putting aside other things to invest that time. Maybe one day it will, but it won't be any time soon.
I am in the same boat. they increases the price out of the blue and their instance availability for scaling up or down is not great.(M1 is out of stock now)
In schools for that matter.
I would have to say that 'derided by scholars' is a bit much. Most historians who are aware of the luddites in any detail would agree with this take. While Luddites were derided in the past since around the 1930s and works like Herbert Butterfield's the Whig interpretation of History Historians have been very wary of ideas like 'the march of history' and luddites are certainly presented within the scholarship as an example where views have changed away from that kind of narrative.

I don't personally, no; in fact I'm more likely to end up (accidentally?) contributing to the autonomous trucking revolution.

The faded-out version is what I think will happen in the USA. My point was that there are countries with much more confrontational labor movements (France in particular) and I think there will be truck smashers (burners, blockers, etc) there long before a majority of truckers become ex-truckers.

> The legacy is holding back desktop Linux quite a lot.

But I'd rather have it be replaced by something that's like X but supports higher resolution then (4K works for me with X though, no issues), rather than with something that doesn't allow screenshots, xdotool automation, clipboard, ... in the name of "security".

Wayland seems like a move to take away control from the user to me.
Yeah, that works, thanks. As a previously homeless person, those arguments don't tend to inspire me.
This quote might be stale, e.g. New Zealand suggests that it has identified cases of infection via lift button and bin:
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/427446/rubbish-bin-the-l...

Obviously this is disputed, because it's impossible to tell - saying "not been documented" is quite a neutral statement.

Even if surface transmission is unlikely, a single case could be enough to trigger a wider outbreak. So, if you are doing what you can to prevent aerosol transmission, then it also makes sense to minimise surface transmission.
Lots of things happen in the world. Some of them are hard to believe. If there is 1 billion cameras in the world they are bound to catch some 1 in a billion events
Right, which is what everybody does, and then develops a reflex for !g on every query because DDG really doesn't work well for any sort of technical query.
One more nice thing about X that people sometimes miss is that you can turn off compositing (this is the default really.) Lots of people say Wayland feels "sluggish" and this is likely a major contributor to that. Especially if you don't have hardware acceleration (and there are a huge number of reasons why that might not be working.)

Wayland solves a lot of problems by deciding to just not handle things but we have to recognize that taking that position sacrifices things.
I see your point. No, I'm not familiar with such an effort, though it could probably be incorporated into our existing protocols, perhaps with only minor changes.

That’s the product not of financial interest, but geographic consolidation. As local media disappears, and the industry becomes consolidated in NYC and LA, it becomes increasingly comprised of people who are either from there, or the kind of people who are happy to leave their home towns in the rest of the country to move there. Regardless, that leads to the ideological uniformly you see. Economics is secondary here.
I use Excel and with a few simple formulas it creates a pivot table that prints a replica of exactly what to type into my time card at the end of the day.

How to Build an Audience on LinkedIn
If the australian law applied to the web broadly, hacker news would have to pay for all the links.

In reality, being linked to on the web is extremely valuable. Google has had to ban the practices of sites paying to be linked to.

The Australian law completely gets the value chain backwards, forcing tech companies to pay for a specific subset of links, and not allowing them to decline to link either.
Except that they will get in return considerably more than $100M in lifetime brand and PR value, is one way to start looking at it.

Also, 'throwing money at problems' has never really solved much.

The best way to solve problems is to solve them in your own backyard, within the context of the system you are directly working in.

The grossest inequality in the world is not in America, it's in developing nations, places where Apple manufactures and sells.

Steve Jobs - with literally a one sentence email - could have changed the quality of living standards for every FoxConn employee and have knock-on effects around the world.

The vast surpluses gained by Apple from having 'workers live in factories, be woken at various times during the day' are seen right in Apple's P&L. Was there really a reason for that?

If Jobs were to have said: "Dear Foxconn, all apple products will be constructed in a manner that respects workers rights in these basic terms i) consistent work hours during the day ii) fair and objective oversight iii) fair wages equal to 'some function'.

... that would have changed things.

Instead, we are 'marketed to with morality' so as to make Apple appear to be moral, in which case, we can ignore other material actions they take, and 'feel good and moral' about buying their products.

I remember in 2000 driving down 101 in the Valley and seeing the 'Think Different' billboards featuring none other than Gandhi.

Yes - literally using the moral claims of Gandhi to hustle their new Mac. It was actually a big moment for me in terms of understanding communication, it was really ridiculous, I've never really trusted them since. Great hardware though.
The guilds only fell due to the incidental conditions in Europe. Perhaps under different conditions, like Europe coming under a single empire without the competitive and evolutionary pressures that in our timeline led to sovereign powers embracing trade and markets, guilds would have solidified their power.

The fall of unions may not be inevitable.
But it's so much more click-worthy to pretend the title is true. This is a great example of how misinformation can propagate orders of magnitude further and faster than the truth as long as it's funny, ironic, or reinforces existing bias.
Ah so that's where the train station is.
One reason not to go through libc is the possibility to create a pure Go userland like it’s done with the u-root project that is apparently in use at Google and resembles Busybox based systems with a memory safe language.
Our CDC ( Dutch equivalent RIVM.nl ) actually said they believed masks might be dangerous as it might give a false sense of security and ordinary citizens would not be able to handle them properly.

Mask are mandatory now in confined public spaces, but they have never started a campaign to train the public to handle the mask properly.

Another possibility could be office politics. Perhaps the researcher played golf or whatever with somebody quite senior and convinced them to back his pet project. The senior person's juniors know it's nonsense, but they fund the most bare-bones programme anyway in order to placate them.
I'm guessing you prefer the selection "clipboard" and the primary clipboard. There are a couple more clipboards that nobody uses.

I agree the selection is sometimes handy, but I've accidentally hit the middle button where I didn't mean to just enough times that I'm ready to give it up. I rarely use them to hold two different things.
Probably should have written "dedicated" or the good old "application specific integrated circuit".

Either way the distance is considerable. FPGAs do allow you to do unique hardware interfacing things - good luck getting a PCI microcontroller - but even there they're catching up. The RP2040 can bitbang DVI with its peripherals.

But isn't the immune system classed as anti-fragile? By this, I mean that if you don't use it then it gets weaker.

With all this constant disinfecting, are we not doing ourselves out of our ability to fight things off in future?

How is Voynich a hoax when dated to 1400?
For experienced and attentive drivers that tend to be hit by others, it's important to have proof of liability. The dashcam (preferably one that operates when the car is stopped) has saved me multiple times. Insurance companies control the claims process and setup rules that disadvantage the uninsured. Whenever I am in a trafic incident, I stop the car on the spot and take at least a bunch of photos with both vehicles involved from multiple angles, the damaged area and any debris , the general vicinity, lanes etc. The capacity of self delusion and/or outright lying of people is fantastic, I have had one claim the incident happened in a completely different intersection.

If you have such proofs and credibly convey the message that you know the law and are willing to sue, then all damage becomes fixable on someone else's insurance and you pay only normal wear and tear on your vehicle. In 200.000 Km, I only had a single fender bender that was my fault, around 200€ in damage - while insurance would have costed me in the 5000-10000€ range for the same period. Since I am an aggressive (within the limits of the law) driver, I was involved in a dozen or so minor accidents.
There's no point.
> China is getting worse not better.

During the Cultural Revolution from 1966 to 1976, hundreds of thousands of people were massacred, and there were instances of cannibalism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guangxi_Massacre

When the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989 were suppressed militarily hundreds or maybe thousands of people died, but there was no cannibalism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests

In 2019, thousands to ten thousand people protested a planned waste incinerator in Wuhan. The government said that the project had not been started yet, but that did not satisfy protesters. Eventually, riot police was deployed, but nobody died. https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-china-blog-48904350

When you say "China is getting worse not better.", exactly what previous state of affairs are you comparing it to?
The question remains whether these measures are cost-effective.

You can't put a price on human life(unless you're an insurance company), but you definitely can on sick days.

I have a data point, namely a few friends who seasonally get the flu and take sick days for that. On average it shaves off ~2% of their annual work hours.

At this rate I can't tell if this is worth the trouble, especially that a few of them definitely catch those viruses from their kindergarten-attending children.
It's written on the box : does not stop germs or viruses. A mask is made for surgeons to stop blood or other bodily fluids. Furthermore, disposable masks are full of harmful chemical compounds. And last, if you wear a mask and touch it you bring the germs closer to your mouth. And last, if you're not ill you ain't transmittin' nothin'. This is a joke.
Or he did some good work in the past and they have him the benefit of the doubt. 462k/3 is 154k/yr. That's 1-2 scientists.
This reads like a technocrat's hopeful vision of the Internet in the early 1990s. Sure, in theory it's true, but we all know in reality that that's not how the majority of humanity is using the Internet.
It doesn't ?

Maybe we've worked on different projects, but sometimes the legacy is just that things were done differently in the past, and the APIs available were crap.

"Corporate woke" is parodied pretty viciously in HBO's Silicon Valley series.

There's also some pretty gross inequality in the Bay Area, where only rich people can afford any kind of housing within less than an hour commute from where all the jobs are. All of California has this problem to varying degrees.
Good question! I am from the team built GraphScope.

Neo4j and JanusGraph are graph databases where GraphScope is not.

For end users, using GraphScope feels like using a python library like networkx (https://networkx.org/), and you can do graph analytics, gremlin queries and GNN sampling etc in a single place. But unlike NetworkX which does not support parallelization, the actual processing of (big) graphs is handled in a distributed k8s cluster in parallel on GraphScope.

In 25 years I've never noticed any screen tearing on a variety of hardware. I'm sure it's happened but it's never been a noticeable issue

Is this really a problem for people?
Ummm, did it though?

Like metrics wise it did, but you're not counting the massive loss of life and the vast disenchantment in the world after (which is admittedly hard to measure).

Millions of people were ethnically cleansed, that's not worth any kind of material progress. If you are trying to say we progressed materially in spite of ethnic cleansing, you don't understand that eliminating large swaths of the population will obviously result in material benefit to those who remain...
I'm tired and ashamed of relying on and using technology products such as cloud infrastructure and computing devices that are provided by companies who bully, exploit and oppress small companies and workers, while using their massive financial leverage to undermine and manipulate democratic discourse, legislation and public perception. It's enough!
Mostly folks doing the math and simulations, I'd assume.
Do they though? I want to see the Australian government crying to Google to return when they realize what they've brought upon themselves.
Because most of it was "COVID theater" rather than intended to actually make people safer, the public cannot see the [likely more effective] things you're suggesting.

Same thing with checking temperature at the door (it doesn't work because people can either never get a fever or be infectious before/after one).

Even when it comes to masks we still have very few of the public using well fitting N95 and manufacturers mass-producing masks that barely even cover the side of people's faces (i.e. they don't work as well as they could, even for cloth!).

This was totally forgivable in the early days since "better than nothing" masks, but it has been almost a year and effective mask/mask usage still isn't being promoted nor guidelines for producing high quality masks exists.
Yes, but why is it not a problem for X.org? Can't Wayland be made to work using whatever Nvidia is currently providing? I guess I read it is, and even something (KDE maybe?) made it possible to run Wayland under proprietary Nvidia, so I don't really understand what's the problem.
This LA Times article notes that the video was taken in the morning: https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2021-02-01/myanma...

This stated communication blackouts lasted from 3 to 1115 am, with one journalist reporting a loss of service at 4am: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-55893736.

The coup didn't happen instantaneously at a given time, so it seems reasonable to say the video was recorded during the coup. At the same time, it's not really clear what specific activities the vehicles were on route to.
I found them in 2 clicks but at least a few screenshots and “more can be found in..” would be appreciated.
Hey, I’m also very interested in this! Just an FYI, IME using hello@domain or any similar role-based or impersonal email from an unproven domain OR while using a service that lumps you in with a bunch of other accounts will make it really hard to end up in a primary email inbox. Most of the time you’ll get diverted to promotions (Gmail) or spam (a bunch of others).
