I’m aware. That’s not relevant contextually. We are in the comments of an “essay” comparing criticism of Wayland to the belief that vaccines cause autism. As a result, his investment in Wayland is contextual and what I’ve focused on, not his other work. I have opinions on that work, too, I’ve just clearly riled his fanbase enough for one account.
My point exactly, thanks.
I think the biggest problem is software changing from under people's feet. We used to have stable version cycles and when it was time to upgrade, users expected change and having to re-learn some stuff. But now things just change whenever. And sometimes drastically, like buttons that previously had a fixed place and were always there can now only be accessed by moving your cursor in the right place. Very frustrating.

I see your comment's flagged, maybe because of the harsh language but other than that it all rings true to me.

> If you insist on disregarding people's use cases, don't be surprised they don't like your software.

Eventually that use-case in Xorg/X11 will cease to function when it becomes obsolete and unmaintained, but I agree how bad the outright dismissal of someone's use-case can be perceived. There has to be a civil discussion on both ends.
Yeah, I get the feeling a lot of times that outsourcing is popular with dysfunctional companies because it shifts a portion of the labor, and thus the resources to managerial staff in the rich country, and the remainder is spent on the actual talent.

If you're a US based manager, this is great. You suddenly become that much more valuable to your employer, even though the customer will lose out. Plus, you don't have to deal with that smart chick down the hall who knows how to code and makes you look really dumb and lazy in meetings getting more glory with the bosses.

The more bureaucratic the org and removed from customers the success criteria are, the more likely it'll get outsourced.
In my experience, while Indian developers are much cheaper they seem to have a much different work ethic to many other countries.

It seems like their approach is more to finish the task as quickly as possible, with little care to the quality. Obviously this works for a lot of products, but if you're looking for a high quality, maintainable, or safety critical product then I've found India isn't the best place to go for that.

If you're looking for a product to get out the door asap and don't care about the quality of the code and/or UX, then India may be fine.
Reminds me of people who are staunchly anti-systemd. They are luddite masochists who prefer shit that is inconvenient or broken for the sake of being a contrarian hipster.
Why the down votes? I quoted the from the article with a valid question. I have read further that the US Supreme Court has ruled habeas corpus still applies to detainees in 2008, yet they are still being held over a decade later without charges or trial, see here:

Engram - Open source knowledge management app

Still pretty early on, but I'm excited about the possibilities. This is the first time I'm using an app I built daily.

Next up, Facebook gaslighting the world with claims that people are actively opting in to tracking via this prompt.
By the way, if you scroll all the way down in the "Docs" page of the website there are links to older articles about the early history of Gobolinux. Some interesting discussions about the design of the Unix file system hierarchy.
If your software corrupts data when it's killed, it's honestly not very good software.

I kinda wish "proper shutdown" was never invented at all. That would've motivated so many developers to care about reliability much more :P
> You dont want RISC-V in your PC

Why not? Isn't the Apple M1 showing exactly the opposite?
The funny thing is that a lot of users switch to open source software because the proprietary software they had been paying for was not supporting their obscure use case. You know, it is not something worth the investment because only a handful of users care or it works against the interests of some business partner or whatever.

I don't know anything about 'conspiracy of conspiracies' as much as people just reach for that type of terminology when they see an opinion they don't like.
I built this to scratch my own itch (I know, there are so many Sales Tools / CRMs out there but all the ones I checked out had way too many features/distractions for my liking). There are a handful of users using it which is a good start. Thanks for taking a look.
> Most of them are too frequent, automatic, plus they are not actual improvements.

It seems like the developers and product managers want to show progress but the uses just want you to fix boring bugs. It will help if the product folks think of memory, perf and stability as very important features and stop chasing new features for the sake of it.
I feel you are projecting a lot about why or how people would test this distro.

Playing with something in a VM or on some laptop for a couple of hours for fun is perfectly fine. Even if you are playing with broken or "not good" software.

Also, how polished should something you spend your free time on be before you allow the public to take a look? I have never not tried this distro myself and not read it's documentation. It might claim to do things it shouldn't.
> I’m saying that because if you ever type in your password, e.g. into a screenlocker, into a terminal with sudo, or an apt-get gui, every application can listen to those input events.

And any program can (on a relatively default box) trace arbitrary programs under your gid and scan memory for passwords. The real issue here is that there are very weak process boundaries within a gid (because it is historically most convenient), not necessarily a lot wrong with X11.

I wonder if "harassment" will be in the eye of the beholder. If you read someone's Tweets and find an opinion that you think is insulting towards the rich or immigrants or men or women, is that grounds to get that person's Wikipedia account deleted?
The Worldwide Python-Only Job Board
Saw them on PH yesterday. Really excited about this product
FYI desktop Firefox has "Zoom Text Only" feature.

View > Zoom > Zoom Text Only

On mobile: all browsers have "force enable zoom" + test scaling in accessibility settings; Additionally Opera supports reflow on zoom (Settings > Text options > "Text wrap").
Just say Mutter or Kwin are shit then. Saying Wayland is shit is like HTML is shit because you don't like Firefox.
To be honest, I am not sure whether engineering is a bottle neck as of now. Site's functionality has actually pretty much converged and it already works. Full blown open sourcing seems like a large endeavor and I just spend 1.5 hours a day. I tried finding collaborators, but unfortunately people just get busy with time and don't contribute. If you are interested to collaborate (Django/Python) or have specific ideas/advice on open sourcing, I would appreciate to discuss more (https://firedating.me/feedback).

My previous experience was that it was taking more of my time to collaborate than to do stuff on my own. I agree that this might change and that's why I am open to explore :)

Well, then all I can say is that the CSS breakpoint is doing its job perfectly. It switches to layout you can read at this (emulated) screen size. There is nothing to fix.

Mentally ill person here. I haven’t heard a mental health professional use the phrase ‘chemical imbalance’ or anything similar in 20 years. It’s my understanding it has been deprecated. It’s mostly repeated by laypeople in ignorance. It’s hard to flush something like that out of the popular lexicon, once established.

There’s a lot of maddeningly persistent misinformation about mental health on Internet forums.
Double-click a blank part of an apps’ title bar, yes. Or hold down the option key and click the green button, for apps that don’t support this due to a custom layout. Still not every app scales as you might want it to, but it’s the old behaviour restored, just behind an option key…
It probably counts as more active users and more ad views so I guess it's fine by them?

Facebook already established it's fine to fake audience data to advertisers.
The failure of company A to manage a roll-out does not predict the failure of company B. It just goes to show how badly company A manages their resources.
What kind of coding are you doing on the iPad?
It would be very useful for some users if you could use either real stereo camera setup or a sort of effective one (i.e. structure from motion) to generate digital elevation/terrain models at high resolution. If you don't want to do the work (understandable to focus on just one thing) at least giving enough information that others can work from what you have would be great.
Yeah it was quite hard to find something that works in all languages... In our mother tongue (Hebrew) it actually means "a catalyst", and also we heard that it means "right now" in Ukrainian. But we definitely missed it with Poland. Sorry!
The biggest issue I've seen with Indian workers is they want to be handed everything so they can be left to the mechanical aspect of typing in code.

The first time you come across this it's a bit of a culture shock as I think most in the US are more used to having a back and forth exchange.
I tend to distrust web sites when I find they serve up false information.

I don't tend to pattern match on speech/content patterns of groups I disagree with.

You have half the country distrust anything with ads for guns, and the other half distrust anything that uses words like "woke" or "white supremacy."

"Syscall interface" is what most people mean by "$SYSTEM's ABI"
I spend hours a day in my Mail app and I actually like the default layout as is.

But my coworker likes the classic layout, and another coworker likes the default layout but with expanded preview text to more lines. I wouldn’t go as far to say one preference is worse than the other.
That's my point, it looks (probably?) great on mobile, but on desktop it's a mess. Maybe that's what they mean by "bleeding edge" - only that it's the eyes of some of the users doing the bleeding...
I saw this on Daring Fireball the other day, and was reminded of it by "The Reshaped Mac Experience" post today. See also Gruber's response to this survey:

They are contemporaries: GoboLinux is as old as Nix, and older than NixOS. There were other similar ideas around (GNU Stow), but I think Gobo was the first that went "let's make a full OS out of this".

I would say Gobo and NixOS follow roughly the same philosophy, with Nix adding the functional aspect on top, which is pretty neat. But yes, one of the motivations for Gobo was to make it easy to revert versions of programs, with commands for enabling/disabling their symlinks, and even keeping multiple versions at the same time. We didn't do full-system snapshots, but handled it on a program-by-program basis, which was our main interest at the time (tinkering with the latest window manager!).
With FOSS on my own devices that's usually pretty easy -- I'll install what I like, and I expect that most reasonable people won't be upset if I choose not to put their software on my machines (clearly not the case in TFA, but you can't make everyone happy).

Probably not your point, but I absolutely do blame maintainers of proprietary software for changing my routine. Webapps, free software, and whatnot I can understand (even if I don't necessarily like it), but if I pay in full for a lifetime license to a specific version of software then I fully expect, at a minimum, for that software to not have auto-updating backdoors for any reason (looking at you Garmin/Navionics).
Well, it's close to 7 p.m. in Ukraine now so perhaps someone is still reachable.

I don't envy them though.

In case of Gmail many changes were to grab more attention from the user, not to improve anything.

We don't have to leap to an extreme, paint this in black and white. Some cases may be shades of grey, but 'insulting' is fairly obvious when you see it.
Ask HN: Is the dev community too toxic toward aspiring developers?
I was just having a discussion with some fellow devs about the toxicity levels aspiring or junior developers face as they try to break into the industry.

While there is an insane amount of information readily available to become self-taught, people within the community often gatekeep, unduly criticize or by pure ego, are toxic toward those trying to learn.

I personally feel that there are reasons on both sides for the toxicity:

- An unknown unknowns problem that creates false confidence in junior devs that grate more established developers.

- A dev marketing ecosystem that rewards learning frameworks and not languages.

- Dev tooling that obfuscates in the name of developer friendliness/onboarding.

I'm sure there are others but just curious as to everyone's take.
This reminds me of someone I was talking with about their growing, modestly successful startup. They were bragging to me about how they didn't even have to worry about paying benefits, healthcare, retirement, etc. to their contractors in Mexico.

I said something like "Yuck, who needs healthcare and basic life standards" and he sincerely replied "Exactly!"

Business is full of people like this. If it's not full blown sociopathy then it's definitely a grievous lack of awareness, turning humans into an inhumane abstraction.
I have no idea why it was canned, but it was a very expensive server with a very expensive SAN solution. I think it just didn't compete well with other enterprise class machines on price.

People are willing to pay more for a Mac Laptop/ desktop because the overall experience is nice. The screen, the construction, keyboard (save the shitty one), trackpad, Retina display, high speed SSD, etc all significantly affect user experience.

When the primary use case is sitting in a closet and serving up bits quickly, it quickly boils down to bang for the buck where the Mac has always lagged. The M1 could very well change this though. Particularly since power use is significantly better.

Also, when the Xserve was around, there weren't nearly as many iPhone developers looking for CI solutions. Seems like now there would be a pretty healthy demand for that alone.
"most of these images can still be identified by a range of features, notably asymmetries on both sides of the faces and a lack of detail in the background"

Mismatched, or a missing left or right earring is a pretty strong tell for the GAN Faces I've seen. Mismatched ear shapes as well.
These bots are the perfect targets for showing ads about 5G given how interested they are in it! Maybe someday we can just do away with human run accounts.
I think they may help by reducing the velocity of the particles that are ejected from a persons mouth, making things safer for people around them. But a loose cloth bandana around your face probably won't stop a virus.

Except when they're not. I made the mistake of assuming the + and - buttons on the steering wheel of my Subaru had the same functionality as those on my Prius' steering wheel, which incrementally adjusts cruise control speed.

On the Subaru, they are clutch controls. The result was downshifting into 1st gear going 70mph/100kmh+.
Dope idea! Over 7-years, our third-party vendors/services architecture has gotten really complex, and was rebuilt multiple times. It's hard to get right, especially when considering versioning, ad blockers, conditional loading, etc.

For me, this is the kind of "Duhhhh, why didn't I think of that?" idea. I'm sure a challenge will be getting buy-in early enough, since more established code-bases won't make a switch like this casually. But if you're able to prove the value (like Segment) to early-stage products, I'm sure the stickiness and LTV will be super-duper high.

Congrats! Really great idea!

Weight Reduction Using Green Tea
For some reason people adopted 1040px-1080px as a default - I think it’s twitter Bootstrap’s fault. 980 or even less is much more reasonable.
For the past 19 years I have been using same pair of Beyerdynamic headphones. I use them most days from morning till late evening. When I worked at the office, I would spend most of my time in them, too.

Let's calculate -- about 320 days a year * 14 hours a day * 19 years = 85k hours.

I think this represents about correctly how much time I spent with these.

I change pads, I open it every couple of years to clean dust and hair and I have fixed broken cable twice (by shortening and giving it new plug).

Other than that they still work perfectly.

In business, the survival motive becomes the profit motive. For content creators, the profit motive then manifests online as attention grabbing content. However, virality and truth are highly specific properties that rarely overlap. Clickbait is the author stretching virality to somewhat overlap with their message which hopefully holds some truth, but the entire piece can also just be an attention grabber.

If you work at a news source that values truth, sadly you're still not immune to the profit motive, so long as the content at any level is still required to make money. Hypocrisy arises when they begin to deny this.

But without the profit motive, outlets can easily become ideology driven. As hard as NPR may try not to be this, to some their bend is obvious. And then their is ideology as part of the profit motive. Like Fox.

What I would love to see is a platform that simply collects and sorts the events of the world as they unfold. Covid sites are one example. No agenda, no authors. Just the information that accurately describes the world as it unfold, or at least in theory. Another example would a police log published live at every department aggregated at the national level. No decisions would be involved in the publishing except that the post is accurate. The rest is each officer simply doing their job, and hopefully a great job. But the leap is in considering this a more valuable form of news. From attention grabbing to accurately exposing the state of affairs for easy consumption.

The problem with this of course is politics. When the events are what these representatives say, and what they say is dishonest, then even the honest news is the state of the dishonest affairs.

I believe true webdesigners are in decline. You have lots of people who do this as a side gig after reading a few tutorials. In a way that’s a nice compliment for the accessibility of the tech, but not accessibility for the end user.

Same with “We only tested this on Chrome.” of sites/apps, of which are there are many, as I can attest, as I never use Chrome.
