What is "the other way"? That site is all over the map.

Some examples a brief look at Washington Standard turned up.

The don't like green energy [1], which would suggest that they are a conservative site:

> If you understand the entire “green energy” deal, you understand it is based solely on a lie from the father of lies, the devil. It’s being pushed by open Communists and why? It’s to enslave people. It’s to make lots of money. It’s to control the world. And where is the largest push of “green energy” products coming from? China. The fake president, China Joe Biden, is now pushing a fake revolution in which “green energy” will be pushed to suck the remainder of wealth of the West

Not fans of Bill Gates, either [2].

> Bill Gates is at it again, asking for more totalitarian intervention to stop a future pathogen. He wants to “prepare” for a plandemic in as serious of a manner as “we take the threat of war.”

> Preparing for these plandemics is easy for the rulers because they’ve been “predicting” or setting up their authoritarian responses to these scamdemics beforehand.

> Are we honestly to believe that a eugenicist who helped develop a fast-tracked vaccine that’s killing and damaging more people than the COVID-19 scamdemic could ever hope to is doing anything for the food of anyone but himself?

(The "fast-tracked vaccine that's killing and damaging more people than the COVID-19" is the Moderna vaccine).

But they don't seem all that happy with Trump, either [3].

> President Trump’s words were stirring on Thursday as he announced that he would soon be signing an Executive Order to establish a national commission to promote patriotic education in opposition to the 1619 Project. The only problem with the president’s soon to be released executive order is that there is zero authority for Congress or the president to engage in education at all.

At least Trump doesn't get swastikas drawn on his forehead like they do for Biden [4].

They seem generally more right than left, but the real unifying thread in most of their work seems to be that they have a very strict interpretation of the Constitution (but based on a poor understanding of the Constitution), and they seem to believe a lot of conspiracy theories.

I'm having a hard time seeing how CNN is "equally as biased the other way". CNN, like most other mainstream sites is biased in a way that is fairly easy to learn and correct for, allowing in most cases to get a reasonable idea of the truth by reading/watching them and one or two that are biased the other way.

It looks like it would take extraordinary effort to get much useful out of Washington Standard.

Some of that has spilled into Cinnamon DE also. Gedit and vlc(?) both have egregious hamburger menus on my Linux desktop. Sad.
> Because then you end up with something like X11, which we already have.

X11 is a protocol. What you mean is that we end up with something like Xorg, an implementation of X11. Which is still incorrect because a major design goal of Wayland is to move as much logic as possible from the server to the client.
Or pulling off the mattress tag that specifically says it's a crime to do so!

There is no need for you to get feisty over an comment that I (who seems like someone you disagree with) posted on the internet. Perhaps this is a point where you can self-reflect on how you articulate yourself.

Please understand that I don't care anymore. I don't care if you think I'm out of line. Yes, I read and understand your comment. I just don't engage with people that have bad communication skills.

I am only writing this in an attempt to make you a better person.
Interesting but can there be a project to get OpenCL over Vulkan so maybe there can be out of the Box/ISO support for OpenCL for Linux on AMD's Ryzen APUs for OpenCL compute without having to install the OpenCL parts from the AMD Linux Pro driver stack.

MESA appears to be All about OpenGL and Vulkan for Games but there's not much attention paid to OpenCL and GPGPU compute for Things Like Blender 3D's GPU Accelerated Cycles rendering, and other Applications like Dark Table, Gimp, etc. that need OpenCL for GPGPU/Compute acceleration workloads!

There really needs to be a Primer for Linux and How that OpenCL is plumbed into the system and what files are used to get that all working on Both Integrated and Discrete GPU based laptops! So What's the Linux equivalent of MS's WDDM and how does the Linux Kernel get Graphics and the Graphics APIs and Drivers working properly for User Space Applications to make use of.
I've seen multiple posts, some here on HN, claiming that GME is mathematically guaranteed to surpass $1000. If people actually believe this, why wouldn't they put every spare dollar into it?
Gamestop is nowhere near bankrupt. One of the reasons that the trade took off is that Gamestop still has cash on hand and has reasonable (if declining) revenue. On their current trajectory they will go bankrupt, but it could take years. On fundamentals they could be a $20 stock but they were at $4 and still being heavily shorted, which made some people angry.
I've seen "The analysts were also not understanding its potential" a few times and this is mostly incorrect. I know there were large value funds who had looked at GameStop and there was another primary reason the stock price was so low: management.

Value investors totally understood that there was a well-liked brand here that still had huge cash flows. And they knew all the bear cases about the move to digital and the retail biz dying.

A main reason there were value funds who analyzed GameStop and came to the "neutral" conclusion was that the old management team wasn't making any big moves to even attempt to turn around the death spiral.

DeepFuckingValue and even Michael Burry were half-wrong in their original thesis: just using cash flow to do stock buybacks was not necessarily going to turn GameStop around.

It wasn't until Ryan Cohen got involved, got on the board, and started pushing for serious e-commerce and digital initiatives that the stock and story majorly turned around and caused the momentum trade.
I consistently have to argue with my brother about this, who started developing in the 90s and has a perfect memory for mapping terms to abstract objects.

He argues that at some level, every construct is just assembly that shuffles bits around, so nomenclature doesn't matter (he also grew up with Perl as a first language...). My argument is that it makes his code unreadable without a graph unraveler.

Me too! I've been identifying more with my Quaker belief system and meditating more. I'm trying to be more consistent with it but man, it's opened up a whole new world.

Keep up the great work! :)
>> The smart ones bought their shares at $5 and sold last week at the peak

Loosing a bet doesn't make you a not-smart investor. High risk ventures can be part of any portfolio. In a game of high risk and high returns most bets don't work out. I don't think any less of hedge fund people who "lost their shirts" on this. That is a normal part of the game.
What a great project! I was wondering if the details of your home set-up are available anywhere online?
A way to surface code quality -- across various metrics -- at any level of code (individual token, line of code, file, directory, package, library, application, ...).

Metrics could include: code style consistency, stability (has the area of code changed much over time), risk (is there potential for security vulnerabilities related to the code area), and test coverage.

The metrics - if displayed visually - might look something like a Heat Map[1], and would ideally be represented in the same place as the code itself, perhaps via background colours.

A colleague at the time of the 2008 crisis was unable to retire. His stock portfolio (he was overinvested and did not balance his risk properly, especially considering his age) dropped from near a million to about $100k practically overnight. He owned his house (good), but the capital that would've carried him easily to the point where he could use his 401k and later receive social security was gone. He had to work several more years than planned. People don't consider risks very well.

I was thinking that all of Trump's conditioning to make people think that the news is all fake and disinformation for a cause has ruined people.

For example, there were reported that Melvin closed last week. People thought it was fake news. In the article they reportedly lost 53%. If they lied about it, that would be exceptionally serious. Yet, everyone called it fake news, to their own detriment it seems.
Oh, I see. I stand corrected then.
I've been working on an ongoing rewrite for the Redux core docs [0], including writing a couple brand new comprehensive tutorials from scratch [1]. In the process, I collected a bunch of notes and resources on useful docs writing advice [2]. My two favorites by far are this Divio docs writing guide, and the Vue docs writing style guide [3]. Excellent resources!

I have a semi-related question: I'm looking for a customizable documentation system.

I'd like the typical docs in Markdown or Asciidoc in flat files like a static CMS but within a page I'd like to have customer/choice dependent blocks.

So some free form text and then a block with instructions that are different per environment or customer or whatever. So based on a selection I'll only show the parts for Debian or Red Hat or whatever or I'll pull customer information out of a CMS system to show the customer only the parts relevant for her environment.

I know this exists but I can't find an example now. This is what I'd like to avoid: https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/installing-nginx/in... I don't want to show a Debian user all the stuff she's not interested in.
Given their construction, anyone claiming to have set of plastic-fantastic Grados (SR60, SR80) they have actually used since that period and that never needed a repair or replacement of significant portions of the phone would be straining credulity - they have similar issues as Apple cables where insufficient or completely lacking strain relief eventually causes the non-removable cable to break, requiring rewiring - and that is if the pins holding the headphone to headband don't break first. Higher models fix the latter problem, but not the former one.

In that way they are great comparison with AirPods Max as in practice they will end up in a landfill rather than being lovingly handed down...
They don't have to find it an acceptable defense, all they would have to do is find that it is not possible to legally try the suspect. Which is in fact the case. But of course they would try him anyway because doing end-runs around the text of the Constitution is standard operating procedure and has been since the founding. Even the whole idea of the Supreme Court having the power to declare laws unconstitutional is found nowhere in the Constitution. That was a power invented by the Supreme Court in Marbury v Madison. There are many other examples. On a strict textual reading of the Constitution, if the second amendment applies to an individual right to bear arms (which is debatable, but that's what the Supreme Court has most recently held) there is no basis for denying individuals the right to have WMDs. There is no basis for making slander and libel crimes under the First Amendment, but we do, and no one argues with it. Likewise, if someone committed murder in the "death zone" they would be tried somewhere and convicted and the Supreme Court would simply refuse to hear the appeal. And that would be that.

I find the complains funny, for one you should really never need to care where certain programs are installed (and I don't remember the last time I had to). Moreover you can always run which executable and it tells you the location of the executable.

It's also funny how Windows is supposedly better, there is at least program files and program files (x86) some programs still just install into C: (I think python used to do that), and there are the different windows folders. Let's not forget the myriad of places where programs drop data. And because Windows has no proper package management, you actually need to where things are.

Unfortunately, putting your fingers in your ears and saying “it’s just misinformation, it’s just misinformation” over and over doesn’t make this RT cycle issue go away. This is coming from Fauci himself:

“…If you get a cycle threshold of 35 or more…the chances of it being replication-competent are miniscule…you almost never can culture virus from a 37 threshold cycle…even 36…it’s just dead nucleoids, period.”

Anything 35 and over gives results that can’t be trusted. False negatives but way more important are the false positives. The FDA has recommended the PCR cycle threshold up to 40. I would be happy to provide citations if you’re too lazy to do it yourself.

Sorry, inconvenient truths like this will continue. No, claiming something is nonsense and attempting to link it to actual tinfoil conspiracy theories will not work. You and your ilk will have to come up with some new talking points to fool people who can’t do basic research or read a medical study.

Have yourself a wonderful day.
> Most wayland advocates can't seem to understand the philosopy of "I don't really care about xorg vs wayland, my current xorg-based setup works well enough for me, i'll switch when I can be equally productive on wayland".

Same rehash the same arguments of Linux vs Windows that people have been having for years. It's turtles all the way down :)

It's only less common nowadays around these parts since tux has become far more usable day-to-day in the last decade.
I used both and even though their purpose is very similar (have an "immutable" system tree that you create and switch into it), the day to day is very different.

Silverblue is still pretty much imperative, you install/remove RPM packages and that's it, you use Flatpak for everything else. NixOS you have to describe your entire system in a programming language. NixOS gives you so much more freedom to do what you want, but you have to work for it, learn a language, learn it's constructs, etc.

I enjoy both though, feels like the right direction to go, you just need to choose how you want to interact with your OS.
“Amazon warehouse workers have a worse deal than serfs“

Could you back this claim up? I don’t find it at all plausible.
I was at the supermarket saturday and overheard 2 people talking (shouting really) about the price of Gamestop and how it was BS that Robinhood only let them buy 5 shares. It was pretty surprising to me that this had spread so much. But yeah I definitely believe it.
The enforcement has been rather inconsistent (in my view, from my perspective), and is one reason why I am not that happy about it. You can have a women only meetup in a conference, but a women only music festival is forbidden. You can have gender discriminating prices at a hair stylist, but not at a restaurant. You can have single gender university programs for a minority demographic, but you can not give additional points during the application phase to a minority demographic.

I can not think of an explanation for any of these.
The biggest beef I have with wayland is it's security model. Ok, you don't want to let other applications listen to keystrokes, record the screen, etc, by default? Fine. There should be some low level implementation that pops up a box asking the user if they wish to allow that app to do that, not outright breaking the practice!

Wayland feels like some ivy tower academic's ideal of what a display system should be. Everything usable is an 'exercise left to the reader'.

Look, if you're a dev working on an open source project meant to replace a critical piece of infrastructure, don't be surprised when people don't like or adopt it when it breaks a lot of their uses cases.
Everybody farts, too.

He really does need to do a video on hair cutting technology though. For a bit the hair made him look younger, now he’s starting to look emo.

I’m not saying that to be catty. One of the little mercies of the quarantine is the number of people who have figured out how to keep making content. It’s a little bit of normalcy, or at least it was until everyone’s personal grooming limitations started causing that illusion to crack, along with bits of my sanity.

That's true, I don't even remember the ending to Snow Crash which I read some ~6 years ago. The unraveling premise that comes about in the ~3rd quarter of the book is what stuck with me. Think it'll be the same for Cryptonomicon.

I bought new Sennhrisers every few years for the last 10 years. They randomly stop working. This time I bought Sony, no much hope, though. I just got used that keyboards, mouses and headphones are to be replaced every few months or years if I’m lucky.
>We are unable to find significant statistical evidence that preexisting growth in diversity for underrepresented racial/ethnic minority groups is affected by the hiring of an executive level diversity officer for new tenure and non-tenure track hires, faculty hired with tenure, or for university administrator hires.

This is certainly no surprise to anyone. The real question is - is this because most college administration jobs are just bureaucratic rent seeking, and really don't do anything to begin with, or is it because trying to hire diversity is difficult because there is a low supply of diverse candidates who meet requirements?
Really weird article, reads like a “this is why outsourcing should be illegal” post as the guy goes through a bunch of countries like toilet paper.
Not defending the author, but aren't you totally misunderstanding the fact that Nvidia providing excellent CUDA support is irrelevant to this conversation? The fact is Nvidia has a long history of providing the bare minimum to Linux desktop users, even on X11.

Hell, I can't even fix the screen-tearing or get Optimus to work with Nvidia's proprietary drivers with X11 on my GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q laptop. It may be 'usable' in a sense that it doesn't crash, but the number of graphical glitches that I run into every single day (literally opening my laptop requires me to refresh every window) that I never run into with Intel or AMD kind of proves to me how much Nvidia cares about desktop usage.

Drew Devault might be a jerk (not my words) and have a lot of fallacies in his arguments, but that doesn't mean you should be doing the same thing.
I worked as a techie at a radio station for some years. We maintained (repaired on site) around ~20 pairs of professional headphones for studio usage, used by many hundreds of members of the station. Some of these headphones lifetime definitely exceeded a decade even with heavy use, requiring minor repairs e.g. cables and jacks.

Personally, I used one pair of ath-m50x's for about ten years. I just replaced it with some Beyerdynamic's, which I expect to also last at least ten years.

All of the Bluetooth headphones and speakers I've bought have lasted less than a few years. Half the time the batteries fail (and often aren't user-replaceable), the other half it's some component I'm unable to diagnose myself.
my comment from 4 days ago:

actually im glad you said this. this is the core problem with this WSB/RH/GME event.

a certain percentage of people in WSB only want to light a pile of their money on fire for the sole purpose of bankrupting some hedge funds. they expect no returns and only want to cause pain to people with more money than them that they dont like.

another percentage of people (i think this group is much, much larger than the first) think bankrupting the short positions is gonna make them huge returns. they think theyre all david collectively fighting a goliath as the proletariat rises up. most of these people are sorely mistaken and will lose everything, but some will make money.

the RH trade halt (EDIT: only buying was halted, a "trade halt" technically means both) is allowing the shorts to unwind more gracefully, making the first group of people angry. theyre not getting their witchburning, or public execution, or lynching - however you want to frame it.

the problem is the second group of people think theyre being defrauded out of huge returns by an artificial exit from the short squeeze. these people are wrong to begin with. most of them were never going to make huge returns. even if they successfully bankrupted the shorts, most of them are left holding stock they bought for $100, $200, $300, or $400 a share (WSB was memeing share price was gonna go into the thousands) that is worth <$90. those people were always going to lose, they just didnt know it. but now they have a scape goat, even though they were on the wrong side of the trade to begin with.
