What’s the optical transparency of graphene? Is it not the SqRt of (22/7)^2 + 137^2?

Einstein and Eddington were correct that the Fine-structure constant could be derived from Euclidean geometry.

I was referring to macroscopic quantum phenomena at room temperature, similar to Penrose’s idea (one word ‘microtubules’ can’t be a theory) about how a field inducing effect allows for self induced transparency and super radiance in the brain.

Thanks for the information. I have something akin to NASA decoherence free subspace. Please send me more papers and files related to this. I’m meeting with a friend who is a professor at Harvard but my knowledge of QFT, physics and engineering in general is limited.

I would love to learn more. Thanks for your insights. And you are right that macroscopic quantum phenomena is possible within our current state of particle physics.

Of course, I don’t have all the answers. I’m a former hacker (quit in 1996) and former poker play.

The mathematical value of the word Kabbalah is 137 and the Sefer Yetzirah or the Book of Formation explains creation in 1, 3, 7 and 12. This refers to the duality and triality of life.

Specifically a triangle, square and pentagon stacked upon each other to create an object that is defined by itself — 2^5.

If you keep the vertices and extend the objects in additional dimensions, you get a triangle, tetrahedron and a hypertetrahedron or 2^6, the higher world.

I learned this from the once youngest physicist to work for the US government. He received his masters in physics from the University of Maryland in 1963.

He was a research scientist at the National Bureau of Standards's Fluid Mechanics Division, where he was in charge of Magnetohydrodynamics.

He was a National Science Foundation fellow at Maryland before becoming a Rabbi and writing 50 books.

The Book of Formation has a line: 1 above 3, 3 above 7, 7 above 12, all is One and Connected to the Other. This is a Platonic secret that was reimported into Spain over a thousand years ago.

As a Wayland (and Sway) user; Overall, I have loved the Wayland experience. I am very grateful to all of the devs who've worked to make this happen.

That said, I feel that Wayland devs (and users) are just now (re)learning the ecosystem catch-22 problem. The ecosystem hasn't caught up with Wayland's new architecture because the layers don't line up the same way. This means entirely new layers (or adapters) need to be created all the way up the stack.

Also, this new design and these interfaces are almost completely undocumented, so it makes it very hard for a non-waylander to step in and contribute. I made a couple attempts to fix bugs, but after wading through Github issues for 4 hours, and getting no help on IRC, I gave up.

Unfortunately the ecosystem is responsible for building the rest of the stack, but it's hard, because there isn't much in the way of documentation or examples in the ecosystem. That's the catch. The ecosystem is expanding very slowly because there isn't much of an ecosystem.

FHS and distros that follow it aren't perfect, but it does make a big difference. I prefer Fedora-based and Arch-based flavors for that reason. It's usually pretty easy to find stuff.

Backtrack used to do something like this and while it was easier compared to a lot of other debian/ubuntu based things, I still ran into some pain points.

A great command to keep handy is

ls -la `which <program>`

That will usually find you the binary right away, and if it's a symlink or something you'll see it in the ls output. It's especially useful to me because (generally speaking) I put stuff I build myself in ~/bin rather than `/usr/local/bin` so I can quickly tell if I'm using my own build or the package manager's.

I'm sure you know this, but memory perf and stability are secondary to supporting the hard business requirements. For low-cost products intended for mass consumption, a small feature that brings in millions of new users from a new audience is usually going to be more worth it to the business than optimizing for old hardware that doesn't bring in money anymore.
> I don't understand why so many people feel the urge to psycho-analyze a publicly available subreddit that currently has 8.2m million subscribers.

Because we're genuinely curious how such a large and seemingly well-connected community could have been so mind-bogglingly wrong about something ("how short trading works") that should have been an unambiguous truth.

Even now I'm still seeing people screaming about "hold the line" and inserting endless rocket emojis as the stock drops below 35% of its peak. People are still arguing on this very site that all that is needed is for the WSB community to refuse to sell to cause some kind of magical short call that isn't coming. People still insist that short leverage greater than 100% means an infinite price spike at some point in the indefinite future. People still think that the short leverage staying high (on a very clearly inflated stock!) means that the early players didn't exit positions.

This was a scam. I mean, we don't know exactly by who yet, but it's abundantly clear that all these people were lied to to get them to buy a security that was just obviously a target of a pump and dump.
I don't understand why it's so important to have multiple broken implementations before having 1 working implementation.

I had mentioned that a car is needed in some cases, but not all. If I have small kids as a student I’m probably going to need a car in Canada, US, or some EU countries (not all).

Overall I’m also going by what many EU schools say are average expected living expenses for an international student. Invariably it’s a lot more than €600 a month.

I’m not denying folks can go to school on the cheap, I’m just saying that if you think €1-2k a month is ridiculous jet setting luxury, you’re wrong.

> A federal judge ruled that Belderrain could be tried in the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming, despite the Sixth Amendment problem. Belderrain cited Kalt's paper "The Perfect Crime" to explain why he believed it was illegal to have his trial with a jury from a state other than where the crime was committed. The court dismissed this argument.

Judges especially Federal judges are far less impressed by "hacks" and "loopholes" of the system, than most programmers.

Out of curiosity: What are those issues with X? On my day to day use of Xubuntu I don't encounter any problems. What would I gain from switching to Wayland?
Because that "meanwhile" takes years. There are still clients that use libX11 ("it works for them") instead of libxcb. libxcb was introduced in 2003.

So "meanwhile" you would have apps that are not DPI aware without flag, DPI aware without flag and DPI aware with flag. And even crappier desktop as you have now for years to come.

The new API is not just for DPI; it is for many reasons, DPI is only one of the issues.

Your advice is going to kill people.

2) You don't have the equipment to do a correct fit-test

Ah, but the original context seems to have been a attempted restatement of something you'd said, and "from" wouldn't fit.

I agree it was likely a mistake, but I think much of the talking past each other in the comments following comes from others not realizing that you had made that determination and were responding as if it said "to". People attempting to make money from investors is a pretty common topic around here.

Tell them to double click the title bar of the window. This will maximize it for most windows, similar behavior to what they should be familiar with in Windows on that front at least. Sometimes this results in a "smart" maximization, like if it's a PDF in Preview it'll take all the vertical space it can get, but won't widen if it's in a single page view beyond what's needed. You can also hover over the edges (left/right, or top/bottom) until you get the double arrow cursor and double click to extend in horizontally or vertically, again just like Windows offers there.
Well, anyting that's an opinion, I already ignore so no change for me.

If an article says a country has 7.6 million pop, or some software was released in 2015, 2017 and 2019, it's likely true.

But when it comes to "opinions", I have my own and don't care whether it was written by a diverse team or not. In fact don't read those articles anyway.

Exactly. Twitter wants to increase active users and stats around posts and other interactions. Those are used to then drive sales of ads. Active users doesn't tie cleanly to the effectiveness of ads, but it looks like a nice top of line number.
Reminds me of the Goonswarm in Eve Online. They'd recruit a bunch of newbies from the Something Awful forums and use them as shock troops in giant battles.

The new recruits had no hope of actually establishing themselves in the game. They were just cannon fodder in someones strategy.

I'm a little confused. Weren't hounding and introducing false information already against the rules? I'm pretty sure they are, and I'd also be sure most of the other stuff is too (except maybe the "off site" behavior stuff).

> Probably because offering the smallest number of hardware models is more important to them than covering the whole market.

This is in the institutional DNA of Apple because it saved the company in the late nineties. Steve Jobs famously came in and canned dozens of Mac models, arguing that only four were needed: A pro desktop and a consumer desktop, a pro laptop and a consumer laptop. And that was that.

Apple is, what, a hundred times bigger today, but I don’t think the product design side of the company has really scaled up as much. I think they could afford to expand a bit.
Great points! GTM server-side tagging is indeed similar to one of our features, Cloud Load. The main difference would be that GTM essentially gives you the server-side capabilities for Google Analytics only, and the rest you have to code yourself. We offer all those integrations out of the box, and we maintain them, so you don't need a dev team to do that.

But more importantly, Cloud Load is only one out of many things we do. A library of facades for your widgets, firing conversion pixels together with the page.unload() event, evaluating which tools should be loaded on our backend instead of in the browser - all these are much outside the scope of GTM, server-side or client-side. We think they're invaluable because at the end of the day, many tools can't be loaded completely from the server. Everything that uses HTTP cookies or is interacting with the DOM would eventually needs to load in the page.

As for long-term maintain tags - since our bundling feature actually sends HTTP requests to your third-parties, we know when they give a 404. We're working on adding the "last fired" date to the dashboard too. Stay tuned! :)

Understand compound interest. Start investing young. Have a good relationship with money.
The issue here is the motivations have diverged from what is in the extant model of the market. There is no economics textbook that accounts for market participants buying stocks to watch them crash as a form of entertainment, which is true for a non-trivial subset of people holding GME right now. So if you need to model the market you now have to account for a very non-rational force, which is a big deal as it won't go away. If everybody who crowd-funded Bernie Sanders figures out they can punish a publicly-traded company who just laid off a few thousand workers, shit will get weird.

It’s a little mind blowing to see an atomic version of how business interests end up favoring outcomes that are negative for an entire country. If many of these small businesses end up dependent on low-wages, political instability, etc., it doesn’t seem far fetched to imagine that in aggregate they start institutionalizing lobbying efforts to maintain these circumstances.

This introduces possible outcomes like failed states, and counter measures like authoritarian strongmen to maintain modicums of stability. This can then lead to greater, unintended geopolitical consequences. And it all stems from a bunch of businesses trying to shave a few dollars off of wages...

Don't get me wrong, it makes perfect sense. And Go seems to aim more towards pragmaticism than OpenBSD's elegance and correctness.

OpenBSD is deciding to invent their own paintbrush without even looking at what other people are painting with, while Go took the closest bucket of paint and threw it on the floor, not realizing they were standing in a corner while doing so.

And I say that as a happy user of both.

>Iraq was about Russia

You are entirely wrong. Iraq was about Israel. The neoconservatives in the US pushing the invasion are Zionists and the entirety of US intervention in the ME is about strengthening Israel's position relative to the countries surrounding it. Sorry it took you 15 years to find the correct answer. You don't need to spend trillions invading countries just to get access to their oil, you can literally just buy it from them.
So technically the planning and premeditation also needs to be done in the death zone.

dma-buf is linux-specific, not Gnome specific. It is buffer management on GPUs; it is the low-level API that Mesa and libva, and yes, DRI too, build on top.

Just because some specific application works better (for some values of better) on the Xshm does not say anything. In year or two, the situation can be very different, permanently.
