And of course realistically he is probably seeing sites with breakpoints built entirely on min-width/max-width, which gives the size of the browser canvas.

The Guardian, for instance, has a lot of "@media (max-width: 71.24em)" in its CSS. Screen height? Zero fucks given. I turned my desktop monitor to portrait and I can change between desktop and phone versions by shrinking my desktop window and/or changing the font size. Which feels like a perfectly sensible way to tackle the problem if you are coming from a place where you are thinking in typography.

eat.co.uk? Tons of "@media print, screen and (max-width: 768px)". Screen height? What's that?

popsci.com? A lot of "@media screen and (max-width: XXXpx)", where XXX varies a lot - every number is different, the lowest is 325px and the highest is 1720, someone's been thinking about a lot of edge cases in that layout.

The fundamental problem of "I am getting the mobile site on my desktop" still applies, but his theories as to why are wrong.

Really I feel like he is sitting in the middle of a very small edge case. Not many people use portrait screens on their desktop. And of those people, how many are bumping the effective resolution by changing the scaling? Finding a solution that can work properly for him, and not fuck things up for people with failing vision (and maybe even run afoul of accessibility laws by doing that) is gonna be a lot of work for very little return, and he should just bump his font size down a little and live with that, or do some CSS injection on every single offending site if he has a lot of time to blow on this.

> Sounds a bit like how Homebrew works (or used to, anyway).

It's not by accident! In its original docs, Homebrew described itself as package management "the GoboLinux way".

Given how Homebrew has become this super-popular tool, its success makes me proud of Gobo's legacy (and a bit vindicated from all the people who told us "this model is crazy, it will never be usable!" :) )

> keeping all versions of everything is that you end up with problems when you're trying to build/use packages with a large pool of dependencies

Yes, it can be a pain! In recent years, we introduced Runner (https://gobolinux.org/runner.html) in GoboLinux as a way to address this kind of issue; a virtualization layer to present the expected dependencies at the right places.
I have ones that are 19 years old (Beyerdynamic).

The materials for the main part of headphones would last probably indefinitely if kept in dark, dry place, undisturbed.

On the other hand the foam that is part of the pads lasts months to maybe couple of years depending on use.

If you bought ones with leather it will last for many decades IF you know how to take care of leather.

If you avoid throwing, dropping or otherwise banging headphones on things, don't come outside in them and don't stretch the headband more than is absolutely necessary to put on your head I estimate they can be maintained practically forever (definitely more than user's lifetime).

Maintanence:

- keep them clean with dry cloth,

- use something to clean/protect leather from drying out,

- replace pads maybe every year or two,

- replace pads on headband maybe once every 10 years,

- disassemble completely to remove hair and other detritus, probably every 5 years

- fix the cable that tends to break after prolonged use, I am gentle so maybe once in 7 years.

This is history of maintenance of my headphones which I use every day, entire day.

There's a difference between a bureaucracy and a parasite. A bureaucracy is part of the necessary complexity of a healthcare system. What's not necessary is a profit motive. I would say it doesn't matter whether or not insurance is the biggest problem of the system, it is a problem because its purpose to to extract profit from any available nook and crevice. Profit motives elsewhere in the system are also a problem.
You ignored two really important parts of my comment.

When using X11, I don't have to make compromises. I have better things to do with my time, and I'll reconsider in three to five years when the situation is hopefully more stable. Mixed DPI sucks on X11, but at least works to some extent, even if pretty shittily. Worst case, you can just buy compatible monitors, like you have to do with GPUs when you're considering Wayland support/stability.
Credibility is built up over time and destroyed over time. Running with every ultimately debunked conspiracy theory in the Russia investigation cost the media and the country’s institutions credibility. Lying to folks about the violence going in their cities before their eyes cost credibility. It all created an environment that allowed Trump to peddle outrageous lies and the media lacked the credibility to stand up to him.
In theory, this would never get to trial.
This was me last night when I received this comment. I went to go try the free experience and was prompted to give them a CC. I closed and deleted the app in response.

This seems like terrible UX.
> fake-news that GMO may be harmful.

I would argue that saying all GMO products are equal and the entire concept is safe is also not correct. To me, "GMOs are totally safe" sounds a lot like saying "chemicals are totally safe."

There are multiple techniques, many possible product categories, with many possible safety outcomes. The safety relies on regulation by U.S. agencies which are mostly compromised by regulatory capture in a market with trillion dollar IP potential.

It is not insane anti-science to question the deployment of GMO products into the food chain and ecosystem.

The article's invocation of trust is pretty interesting. 'Trust' is a word with positive vibes; life is clearly better in a high-trust society than a low-trust one. Extending trust to someone builds relations with them; visibly distrusting them does the opposite. So characterizing faith as about trust goes together with thinking of religion as about community.

The article uses these positive vibes rhetorically without ever really contesting, it seems to me, the "[Boghossian says] faith is belief without sufficient evidence". Its supporting link about faith-as-trust goes to the Catholic catechism saying "Faith is the theological virtue by which we believe in God and believe all that he has said [...] because he is truth itself."

I'm reminded of "trusted computing" -- a positive framing of something you want to minimize your reliance on.
I'd argue that it's the feeling of control that most people want, not necessarily the control itself. Perhaps a kind of "reactance".

Given what happened to Fram a year and a half ago, I'm not surprised that they're continuing to do this stuff (especially given that it's the same people). Honestly, I think WMF needs a serious examination of the agendas of its leadership and a focus on actually doing good work instead of stuff intended to make them look good.

I personally won't donate a single cent until Sefidari and Maher are replaced with people who can focus on the real priorities.

Communities build what they need for their usecase and in this regard it's highly successful. It might not be your usecase but then, you can decide to create your own community and build it or look somewhere else.
But it's not because something do not work for you that it's not successful.
> Blanket lumping everyone who may not have a rosy view of Wayland together.

I think it's a lot closer to the author's intent to read the post as "here's what I'm experiencing" rather than "here's a category view of the world that I want you to endorse". Obviously a statement like "no one in [group] understands [thing]" is never going to be 100% true. When people say things like that, they're venting.

I pretty much agree on all points except design flaws.

As an instruction set RISC-V is not significantly worse than ARM. RISC-V trade-offs performance to simplicity of implementation. I think this makes it good choice for embedded. IoT, security chips need to be cheap and simple. Price and size are more important than performance.

For example, stuff that lowRISC makes is never going to be high performance, but it can be very important for security point of view. https://www.lowrisc.org/our-work/

Personally: because it makes porting to new CPU architectures hell. (The Go assembler is the worst!) I've abandoned the FreeBSD/arm64 port and two other people had to pick it up to finish it.

To be honest, it was not a complete dismissal on being able to run wow under wine.

If I were a sensible person I would just use windows with wsl where’s absolutely everything just works as intended and there’s no tugwar. But I’m too stubborn for that and I hope I will one day install Linux and everything just works without having to do a extensive research for compatibility and workarounds
In my experience, "why would you want to do that" is dismissive, defensive gatekeeping, typically used to imply that the questioner is an idiot, whereas "why do you want to do that" extracts a reason, bad or not, that can be worked with.

Sure, it can lead to poor outcomes. But

1) patents aren't easy things to apply for. The paperwork is exceptional, even if you're used to civil servant paperwork. And nobody is helping you. There's no administrative staff to do the application, so it all falls on the scientist. Therefore, if you want your scientists to patent things there has to be some incentive;

2) the bonus isn't very large.
No, Wayland is not currently usable for the "vast majority" of people.

Anyone that has a high DPI display and/or NVIDIA card and uses most of the popular Electron based apps or Chrome will have a bad experience.

Not saying Xorg is any good, or the scaling decisions in Wayland are bad. Just that its not objectively possible to switch away from it yet, for a large number of people

> every identity provider I'm aware of lets you reset your password via email, which is federated

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting out. Federated identity is far more than self-service password reset. And as far as convenience goes, how many places do you use your google/github/facebook/linkedIn/twitter credentials to log into a third party? How convenient is that? That's identity federation. The problem is that those companies own your identity profile and use it for their purposes, not yours.

How are you going to throttle local storage on bare-metal exactly? Ephemeral isn't over network, it's directly attached. So yes, even 8TB.
One huge problem with the CREW formula is that not every book which is read is checked out. This is particularly a problem when there is a cluster of good books together, which makes doing research in the library much easier than taking the books home. I spent literally weeks (maybe months) in the QC 790 section of the Dirac library and never once checked out a book, but I can name you the authors of many of those books off the top of my head: Artsimovich, Miyamoto, Trivelpiece, Stacey, etc.

Sure, if you know that the library is planning on getting rid of a book you love, you can check it out to let them know they should keep it. But how is a library user supposed to know which books the library is planning on getting rid of? Should I check out the entire QC 790 section?

Many times I have had the experience of going back to a library to check something in a book I had read before, only to find that book is gone. At that point its too late. You can't even buy the book from them. It's just gone.

Wow, this model addresses a lot of the issues I have with different Linux distributions. Mainly, finding where the heck it installed that program in the maze of file/folder locations. Sometimes it's etc, opt, var/lib, bin, usr/bin, apps... Gwahhhhh!

Then, you go to modify the configuration, and it turns out that the configuration file is being copied and generated from a different location. It's endless misdirection which changes in each distribution based on the package manager.

I think I may try out Gobo the next chance I get. This is pretty cool.

No, DANE is a step back from CAs. When the Certificate Transparency logs show a CA has misissued, any of Google, Apple, or Microsoft can destroy that CA, as has happened with several of the largest CAs. Meanwhile, not only is there no such thing as Certificate Transparency for DANE, but you also can't revoke .COM at all.

Pretty much every way you look at DANE, it's a debacle.
> Two of the colleges I'm familiar with would lose money on their bookstore if they didn't have a monopoly on college-branded merchandise. It'd be better for them to just stop selling books and only sell clothes + electronics + price-gauged office supplies for the captive market ("I need some pens/paper/etc. but don't want to leave campus tonight").

Caltech did that years ago, I'm told, except for books with some obvious Caltech connection (e.g., the Feynman lectures, biographies of famous Caltech people, and that sort of thing). If you want textbooks for your classes, they send you to some online place called MBS Direct.

I still have trouble imagining this. When I was there ('70-80s) I bought a lot of books on campus that were not textbooks for my classes. They were a good general technical bookstore and decent general interest bookstore (at least when it came to science fiction and fantasy). I think the nearest off campus bookstore with a decent technical books selection was Vroman's, which was about a 3 mile round trip to walk. I wouldn't have wanted to do that every time I felt like browsing technical books.
You are correct with your assessment. I will be in Washington DC and at CIA later this month. If you work on projects related to SBIR, DARPA, ARPA-E, especially hardware related to SDR, wireless, hybrid FPGAs, UAVs, aerospace, propulsion, ciphersystems, cryptosystems, QFT, VR or quantum coherence, please contact me.

I can be found on EFNet or you can contact me directly at AkihikoRyoma@gmail.com. I work with the JASONs but I do not hold a security clearance. Even private contractors who work with JASONs do not trust the American government. If you are unaware, JASON Group was founded in 1958 as Project 137.

I do not like MITRE. Whenever possible, we terminate MITRE contracts. They are lazy, over paid, losers. MITRE provides administrative support for the JASONs, and even that they do very poorly.

I also own an investigative agency, a pentesting attack vector firm, a private technology incubator (PINC), a global private intelligence agency and a private military company. Meet me in DC and you will see.
> This seems to be the dominant culture, but it's actually pretty toxic that people feel entitled to whine about software created by people who owe them absolutely nothing.

I don't think that's quite right. It's certainly bad manners to be rude, but the underlying complaints are one of the better - if not best - means by which the people who make the software can get feedback to ensure they're building the right thing.

Would you invest in a startup whose founders constantly complained about how their potential users whined about their product?

Aside from auxiliary revenue sources like complements and consulting, open source software has value in large proportion to how many people use it. Reputation and goodwill, if nothing else, bragging rights, job opportunities, and so on. You don't get these things from writing software than isn't used.

And you can't really expect everyone to provide constructive feedback. Often, the more emotional the rant, the more pain the user is feeling. Not all humans are dispassionate rational agents. Not every user is a professional product manager able to outline constructive incremental improvements to satisfy requirements. And it's silly to expect that. Product managers are paid well in industry to do this. Doing it for free for open source is just as much a donation.

I'll go further. If you're not willing to tolerate more and more rants as your software gets more popular, to the point that you end up not contributing or quitting, it might be better if you didn't start. Abandoned and decaying software hurts too, and it especially hurts the people who took a bet on it.

(I learned my lesson young. I created a few bits and pieces of open source, and quickly found the the effort of integrating the contributions of third parties more work than it was worth. The only way I'd do open source again is as a developer outreach / organization halo PR strategy for the benefit of a company I'm being well compensated to work for.)

The AZ vaccine has had data issues in its trial and the FDA is waiting on the US trial arm to finish (likely a month from now) before making a decision. The J&J vaccine has just released data and will likely be authorized in a couple weeks, but manufacturing issues mean that we won’t see tens of millions of doses until April. Novavax is in a similar boat, they won’t have much manufacturing available until late spring and their US trial only started in December so it will run until April.
Double masking - using a N95 and a cloth mask - works better because it protects you and others.

The N95 protects you, but many N95 masks have exhalation valves that blast particles away and make it easier for you to breath.

The cloth mask on top of the N95 protects others, by reduce the amount and distance of particles. This is especially true for N95 masks that have valves.
I can understand the frustration, but the "you owe it to us!" sentiment is so juvenile, so unwarranted. No one owes you anything.
