> One of the most common use cases for the `ctrl` key is COPYING shit and followed by PASTING shit and it DOES NOT WORK in a fucking TERMINAL... Because `ctrl-c` sends an interrupt

Most terminals today have a copy-on-select feature, which means you don't need to ctrl-c at all. Just select and ctrl-v.
a work desktop at home requires that i have a lockable office, so i can protect the desktop from small kids. a laptop i can close and put away in a safe place when i am not using it.

sometimes i need to work in another room so i can watch the kids. sometimes i need to go to the office too.

for all these a portable device is needed. i still can use a laptop with an external monitor and keyboard. but i can't carry a desktop around.
The definition of racism is anything which does not advance power for black/brown peoples- so in this case consideration of any of the usual failures vs. market regarding product, capabilities, etc. are racist. An idea for a car, non-functional by all conventional notions of "movement", that whites will not give money towards- is correctly racist under this definition. All the words, all the sounds that you try to parse, comes all to the same conclusion- give me money, give me resources, give me status.

In English it's literally "pass port" to pass through a port.
Is configuration really so complex nowadays that we need entire languages (DSLs, really) for managing them?

Isn't there a better way? I feel like its so 'popular' to provide config hooks into libraries and systems, rather than exposing a Programmatic API that's at least unit testable to understand the results you get back, which makes it infinitely more reliable, IMO.

APIs are harder, I realize, because it forces you to really think about what you're going to expose and how before hand, rather than perhaps after the fact.

I also realize the tradeoff is that configs are suppose to be more limited by design (you can only express so much logic even when using some of these complex templating systems, they all reach some finite point of complexity). They're also suppose to be more portable (configs don't require runtimes per say, though that looks like its about to change!)

Arguably however, its gotten so complex to manage configurations that I would rather just have exposed APIs for systems so I can have better, robust testing in a language.

I realize this means some systems will no longer be language independent, but when I can use an API instead, I almost always do. Configuration management has just gotten out of control.

To think, people say webpack is 'config hell'. Ever try dealing with a complex templated Kubernetes config? Saltstack YAML Jinja2 madness?

I'll take webpack any day. At least its typed!

With that said, this looks neat. I can also stand by the idea that if there is a sane way to create a DSL like this that exports to any reasonable format (json, ini, properties file, YAML) then that actually, I will completely concede, may be worth it.

Specially when law enforcement is not supposed to ask about immigration status unless one can't produce any ID or have probable cause.
The basic idea of Wayland is that it is a simplification and streamlining of a display server protocol. The work of designing that core protocol is already done and doesn't need to be done again, the original developer likely did it because they found it interesting or useful to work on in some way.

The situation isn't that much better in X, the window manager and desktop environment can break clients in other subtle ways that have nothing to do with the X server. There's no guarantee that graphical programs would always work if your setup does something strange.

Mike Monteiro (a self describe asshole: https://www.invisionapp.com/inside-design/ruined-by-design/ ) thinks and talks and writes a lot about this.

A particularly cutting piece I like to remember is:

"But here’s the thing. You can’t help Uber build Greyball during the day, or help Palantir design databases to round up immigrants as your main gig, and then buy ethics offsets by doing a non-profit side hustle. We need you to work ethically during that day job much more than we need you working with that non-profit." -- https://deardesignstudent.com/ethics-cant-be-a-side-hustle-b...

He's outspoken and hard lined and uncomfortable to listen to. But he's probably right as well.
Brit here: can concur. 'Snooping' is pejorative in British English. It implies that (at the very least) you are sticking your nose where it doesn't belong, and always carries a hint of sinister overtone.
Well, I sure as hell don’t want anything to do with racists or their claptrap. They can fuck right off to Hell or DIAF.

As for the woke - they’re all over the place politically and I observe their stuff on a case-by-case basis. I wouldn’t call myself woke, at all, just a bit more observant.
I made a video[0] showing off the power of org-babel, which is the part of org that lets you embed dynamic code blocks in your document. In the video I write a little essay[1] on how git stores data that has a lot of dynamic content that is managed by org. It's a bit like reproducible research or literate programming, but for me it's all about writing technical documents that are easy to keep consistent when things change.

Are there widely-used X servers that don't support DRI3? Genuine question -- it's been out since 2013. I realize that DRI3 doesn't work over the network (I also never complained about losing X11's network transparency).

> You could do that but such an X server would not really be any practically different from Wayland.

Not quite -- the X server would still provide all the device-independent IPC, input, and screen multiplexing facilities and APIs. Dealing with input isolation could be addressed with an extension.

So I think this answers my question -- Wayland isn't anything special. It sounds like I'd get a lot of mileage out of taking wlroots and adding back in all the device-independent X11 protocols as a Wayland extension. This would basically be the "X server with only DRI3" I described.

A large number of keyboard shortcuts are in conflict. "One specific keyboard shortcut has a mouse-based workaround" is not really a good answer.

The Windows GUI copied the Mac’s keyboard shortcuts (originally from Lisa?) but didn't have a dedicated key for them so re-used the existing Ctrl key, which already had a meaning on text-based operating systems. (This happened because Microsoft had no input into hardware keyboard layouts, and wanted to make software compatible with the plethora of IBM-Model-M-layout keyboards available in 1985–1990.)

Then Linux GUIs wholesale copied every feature of Windows they could including the keyboard shortcuts, in a context where this was even worse, because now existing Ctrl-based shortcuts from terminal software were directly in conflict with new Ctrl-based shortcuts from Windows.

The newer Nikon cameras have it built in as well.
The article says they are trying: "The IPAct effectively prohibits ISPs from talking about much of this, which makes it difficult to verify the details"

I'm not sure if the "URL" column in a table in the article is supposed to contain URLs. In the example it only has domain names. I don't think full URLs can be obtained from SSL/TLS connections.
If you constantly have to switch between the two, I can see your point. But if you're going to be on one platform for the majority of your time, it wouldn't hurt to save a few minutes here and there by learning some shortcuts.

Nothing beats a hardware mute switch. The amount of times I've clicked the built in mute button on my mic for it to just be ignored by the software... (looking at you MS team's, you piece of garbage). True mute switches should cut off the mic entirely
Absolutely agree. I'd call it innovation though, not cheating. They had a need and they found a good way to deal with it. Awesome!

Before, a graphical program would run just fine under GNOME or KDE because it wasn't GNOME or KDE handling the video/input multiplexing facilities. But now with Wayland, a graphical program not only needs to target distros, but specific configurations of those distros (i.e. Debian/GNOME, OpenSUSE/KDE, etc.). This isn't helping fragmentation.
Although I do prefer the cmd setup, one thing to note is that the physical button on a Mac keyboard is 1.2-1.5x bigger. This makes it easier to press and less likely to miss.

On windows with a windows keyboard, the lcontrol button is easier to press because it is in the corner.
There's a link to the Table of Contents near the very top of the Readme right after the basic and short description. I prioritized the info to make it a little faster to get up and running versus the need to scroll past an ever increasingly long ToC. For the most part people shouldn't really need to read something a mile long to get it up and running.

I really need to get Kinto packaged officially into the repos for various distributions.
T-sql with pencil and paper. Visualize the problem with tables and relationships (boxes and lines with crows feet). Going through normal forms may be valuable but I like to tell them to just jump to entities and relationships. Once they can draw a “map” of their dB, and it’s usually much simpler than they first expected, then code it out on the nearest computer box.
Personally, if my partner dropped £1000 on something goofy like this, and all bills were paid, I'd probably cheer them on. There's nothing wrong with spending money on something that's got no purpose other than making people smile/laugh/what have you.
I got ^a and ^e with PowerToys' Keyboard Manager with the remap setup as https://imgur.com/a/HXTxPSU. Works well with Windows Terminal + WSL.
I'm having difficulty parsing your rant. I can't tell if we agree or not. :)

Ctrl+C is a method of generating a standard ASCII character which has meant "ETX" (end of text, sometimes "interrupt") for many decades.

Other control chars are useful too. In addition to C, I use S, Q, D, Z, V, O, N, I, G, H, M, L, J, Y, A, E, K, W ... probably others ... fairly regularly.

So in the early 1980s, along comes MacOS which needs keyboard shortcuts for GUI actions. What does Apple do? They add a key to the keyboard, an Alt or Meta equivalent called "Command". OK, awesome.

Then Windows comes along. Microsoft says "eh, who cares let's break it all", (or more charitably "we don't control the hardware and can't add a key, so let's break it all") and reuses Ctrl+C for copy. Et cetera.

Then Linux desktop environments come along and say "well people really like Windows...we don't, but most people who might try our DE probably do, so let's borrow the bad ideas from Windows instead of the good ideas from Unix or MacOS. Let's use Ctrl+C for copy! But also the command line is kind of important on Linux, so let's screw everything up and use Ctrl+Shift+C for copy in the terminal only because who cares about usability and UX consistency? Not us!"

That was 25 years ago. Nothing has improved since then. Alas.
Uncrop! :)

I'm surprised to read these recent anecdotes (going back to that New Jersey unemployment COVID programmer shortage) from various people that COBOL jobs are in high demand yet shockingly underpaid. That would seem to imply markets don't actually work the way we've been told.

Sometimes writing less simple is beneficial when intentional. Know your audience. Less simple writing alienates people. If you wish to preference a particular segment of the general population only, this is one way to do it.

The benefit of that is less noise. A problem in that is some people will get angry and blame you with hostility if they feel stupid and cannot follow the writing.

Seems like none of the wards of which I've been a member have been doing their jobs, then.

> I'm under the strong impression that our local and general leaders, or maybe about everyone else too, are aware of the things you talk about, that there is less deception than some might think, and really, the goal is to help, not condemn.

That's nice. It's the precise opposite of what most ex-Mormons seem to have experienced, however. It's certainly the precise opposite of what various homosexual and transgender members have experienced, being pressured to suppress fundamental aspects of who they are for the sake of conformity, in turn driving quite a few to suicide.

We indeed can and should love all of our fellow God's children for the good that is in them. That does, however, entail accepting God's creations as they are, rather than insisting that they conform to some arbitrary standards set by scripture written and interpreted by the hands of those very same imperfect creations. To "help" someone deny one's own identity to oneself and to God is just as egregious of a sin as any other sort of harm one could inflict on another. If you do agree with that notion - that accepting who you are ain't a sin, and that coercing others to reject who they are is a sin - then you're in the wrong church, friend; I have a feeling you'll be following in my footsteps sooner rather than later.

But that's a bit beside the topic, the point of which being that relatively few wards operate in the way you describe - and that the way said wards do operate makes Mormonism a potential avenue for exploitation.
Lots of people learn Latin, Ancient Greek, Ancient Egyptian, Sumerian, etc. without immersion. Immersion is nice, but it assumes the point of learning is to chat, rather than interacting with great minds using the language that may be long dead (whether or not the language in question is).

OFFICER: what is your immigration status, Sir?

IMMIGRANT (thinking fast): uhh, er, pure blooded, Sir!

OFFICER: on your way then, young lad! I can't ask for your id because you don't need one. Have a nice day.

Not likely they can catch someone out unless they literally have his picture in hand. In which case, he obviously has bigger problems then not having his id card on him...
I'll sort of give you Oracle RDBMS. It's also their main product and cash cow.

Java isn't Oracle's though. It was created by Sun (released in 1996) and has had a community driven process for language changes since 1998 (jcp.org). Oracle only bought it and openJDK is a thing.
My favorite similar pair is Yinchuan (a city in western China) vs. Incheon (a satellite city of Seoul and where their bigger airport is).

They sound very similar in Chinese, and in China people usually refer to Incheon airport as "the Seoul airport" (a lot of average Chinese people probably don't even know Seoul has another airport), and to make things worse, the IATA airport codes for the two are INC vs. ICN.

So the urban legend is that for a lot of Koreans living in Beijing, when they are planning to go back to Korea, they go to a travel agent on the street (this was around 2000 so online booking were not ubiquitous) using their not so fluent Chinese to say "I need a flight ticket to Incheon", the agent will often book them to Yinchuan instead. Korean Air had a direct flight between Yinchuan and Incheon for a while (they probably still have that flight) and the urban legend is that flight is mainly for those confused travellers.
If you go to photography forums it’s not the professionals buying the most expensive equipment, it’s “Uncle Bob.”

Not that professionals don’t have need of the high end stuff, depending on what they do. If you’re a sports or wildlife photographer you might need that $15,000 lens. If you’re a studio photographer with high end clients you might want that aforementioned megapixel beast.

Try to look up information on either and you’ll be guaranteed to see some truly bad photos by people that care primarily about gear and have the money to spend on it. The Nikon D750 is still a well regarded wedding photography camera, and it came out on 2014. That’s a long time, technology-wise. I upgraded one of mine last year to a D850 and another this year to a Z6ii, and I don’t feel as if I’ve gained all that much. They did what I needed them to do.

Usually in Linux (specifically in Xorg) it's select to copy and middle click to paste; which uses a separate buffer from the C-c/C-v clipboard.

Personally I find this method much more usable than the traditional windows-style clipboard.

Either way, you want to generally avoid C-c for copy in terminals because it's already bound to the all important "send sigterm signal to foreground process". This is on a long list of ancient cruft that exists in terminal emulators and shells.

As a general user or a developer, I want Linux and Windows to type and work like a Mac.

As a developer I want terminals, code editors and any other commonly used dev related applications to have the same keymaps as macOS out of the box.

As a user I want to seamlessly use and/or easily switch between official Apple keyboards, 3rd party Apple keyboards, Windows keyboards, chromebook keyboards, or IBM style keyboard (w/o a Win key).
Look, every OS has to choose its defaults. They give you the option to change it through the defaults command:

defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

and you don't need to restart your computer. Every OS is going to do things their own way — but as long as you can easily change it, I don't see the point in complaining.
