I was really looking forward to Wayland, when I moved to Linux. It was then said to be right around the corner. That was six years ago. If the current state of Wayland is as bare-bones as depicted in the article, it's just sad. And as there is no support for OBS on the horizon, it's a non-topic for me. And I never liked X11 to begin with...
>Anyone who thinks gov is the enemy has been bamboozooled by corporate propaganda.

This is how we get starving people and hyperinflation in Zimbabwe. Because the government repossess farms and gives the farm land to people who don't know or don't care about farming. The lack of food forces the "good" government to import food by printing money. Since the excess money is not being invested into food production it is causing stagflation and since the obligation to import food never goes away the rate of printing has to keep going up which ultimately results in hyperinflation.

If anything, governments are fully responsible for causing bad incentives and encouraging destructive behavior by companies. It's absolutely laughable that people think that setting the wrong incentives should be compensated by cooperative goodwill of 7 billion people when greed is a much more effective way of achieving good outcomes if the incentives are right. Especially since there aren't 7 billion selfless people on the planet.
It should work on Kubuntu and X11, but I remember that the installation and configuration process (or at least the documentation) is a bit lacking. Make sure you also install the ibus-[input method] package. If you don't the ibus preferences still allows you to add a chinese/japanese input method, but it doesn't actually do anything. You might also want to restart your x11 session after that.
> To be clear, this is not a joke or something.

You just have to take a look at the crying cats extinguishing the ashes of burned-out girl with floods of tears, to realize that this is indeed (very dark) humor. And it has nothing to do with the Grimm fairy tales, except both were published in German. Its like lumping together Beowulf with Charlie and the Chocolate factory because both are in English.
Yes and no. Learning UNIX is a bit like learning LISP - the parentheses don't look "exteremely pleasant" but having (1) a shared serialization format (2) common programmatic interface (3) a culture of REPLs makes everything much more discoverable and gives you power you would never get where each interface is a shiny bespoke thing.

There a lot of kludges, especially around teletypes/terminals, yes. But the common interchange format being ~ASCII~ UTF-8 makes learning the ins and outs way more pleasant than if everything gets connected by COM, .dll APIs, inscrutable .inf files or whatever Microsoft thinks up at a given decade (you can notice I've stayed away for a while)...

Now Excel stands aside as as environment where learning _was_ pleasant, everything had an inspectable representation and a shared interface! Despite arrays bounds and reuse-by-copy-paste being messy, spreadsheets remain a sweet spot of bringing power to "low-code" users. I didn't look into this specific project enough to say where falls on lock-in-vs-interoperability scale, but IMHO the world needs more "spreadsheet plus" experimentation so I wish them the best...
That might be because there’s an opioid related compound in some types of cheese.
> Only shows your lack of respect for the voters.

Lack of respect specifically for 10 percent of the voters who changed their view of a politician to a positive based solely on her caving into populist pressure to adopt a bad energy policy.

People are too ignorant to decide in any form of direct democracy how safe nuclear is. These dimwits chose to accelerate climate change (a well-known acute global problem) over nuclear power because “nuclear is scary” and didn’t support Merkel until she agreed. Despicable.

> The vast majority did care. It was one of the hottest and longest debated politics topics

Nope. The 10 point change showed how little it mattered. “Hottest political topics” just means people interested in national politics. It’s still irrelevant to the majority.
> "It was at this time that my then girlfriend's father heavily questioned if I had the ability to support his daughter, since I asked him right around the time OG2 was released."

None of the culture in that sentence should still exist in 2015, and yet it treated as normal.
Point A: The claim was that folks who love Rust do not accept criticism of the language.

Point B: a criticism by someone who loves the language was presented, to show that claim was false.

Point B does not contradict point A at all. That is like saying that is false I cannot accept criticism because , hey, look at the weak points I have and I gladly mention("I am too perfectionist","I work too hard", "I put the wellness of the company ahead of myself")

I don’t think that says what you think or you didn’t understand what I said.
Why, in Wayland, support of some basic features has to do with what DE or TWM you use? It is not like this in X11 and it seems there is more adherence to the UNIX philosophy in X11.

Dynamic linking and shared libraries are an OS feature, not a C one. C worked fine on DOS with no DLLs at the time.

This being said, Rust has no problem using dynamic libraries.

He was a hero to his fellow monsters. Maybe he was inevitable, as some situations just breed monstrosities. That doesn't make his deeds less atrocious.
If Wayland doesn’t replace X11, then something else needs to show up, or we drop the idea of a Linux/BSD desktop. X11 is pretty much abandoned as this point. It’s only a few RedHat engineers who are doing minor patches and no one want to manage the future releases.

Exactly this. Burner emails can still be read if the user needs to reset their password. It just makes it easier for the user to make sure their email doesn’t get abused, sold, lost by the site’s owner.

I will only use my real email on sites that are relatively well known and that provide services that I want to get updates for, or that provide some team/social usage and I expect people to try to find me by it.

I have a couple of domains with catch all emails that I use to sidestep the blocking the op is attempting. I have the emails stored in 1Password and generate new ones for every site the same way I do passwords. It is very often than some of these one-off emails will start receiving spam or being contacted for different reasons than where the email was originally used in.

100% agreed. Remote just doesn't work when it's not all-in. I am mind-blown that this is not obvious to so many.
> I'm not putting the bar high. I'm giving an example of people who love Rust criticising Rust. Person I replied to claimed that Rust fanboys didn't do this because they were zealots. That's not true, clearly

But that was OP's point.If your best example of Rust lovers accepting criticism of the language is the existence of a critical article written by a Rust lover, that does no say anything. The bar is naively high if the best example you got of tolerance to criticism was a critical article made by a member of the "tribe". The implicit point is that those kind of articles will be the ones playing "soft ball" with the language,so any perceived tolerance to criticism is almost meaningless.
> Couldn't that be possible?

I mena, in principle, presumably.

> that QEMU already does

Potentially a couple devices. But for most of the hardware, probably not.

Regardless they might—I would—find QEMU harder to hack on, harder to extend, because it is written in C. C is of course the lowest level of all high level languages.
Maybe you are right. What I am reporting here are the impressions from my early PhD around 10 years ago when I was still actively participating in conferences and workshops on generative grammar. Most contributions I have seen were along the lines of "I am trying to apply the minimalist program to this endangered language X and it doesn't work directly, but if I make the system more powerful, I can fit my examples in!" — and I just didn't see this approach leading us anywhere...

I hope that you are right and that the field is evolving to everyone's benefit. We need different smart people with different opinions and believes to drive the science forward.

Hi Author here,

Polars is not an alternative to PyArrow. Polars merely uses arrow as its in-memory representation of data. Similar to how pandas uses numpy.

Arrow provides the efficient data structures and some compute kernels, like a SUM, a FILTER, a MAX etc. Arrow is not a query engine. Polars is a DataFrame library on top of arrow that has implemented efficient algorithms for JOINS, GROUPBY, PIVOTs, MELTs, QUERY OPTIMIZATION, etc. (the things you expect from a DF lib).

Polars could be best described as an in-memory DataFrame library with a query optimizer.

Because it uses Rust Arrow, it can easily swap pointers around to pyarrow and get zero-copy data interop.

DataFusion is another query engine on top of arrow. They both use arrow as lower level memory layout, but both have a different implementation of their query engine and their API. I would say that DataFusion is more focused on a Query Engine and Polars is more focused an a DataFrame lib, but this is subjective.

Maybe its like comparing Rust Tokio vs Rust async-std. Just different implementations striving the same goal. (Only Polars and DataFusion can easily be mixed as they use the same memory structures).

I love this! We once had this exact use case when there was a weasel ravaging in the kitchen - I downloaded some software and wired it up, but it was quite involved and the weasel sadly never showed up. I'll definitely use this the next time an animal finds its way here. Thanks for building it!
Well, concept in the meaning of: the mostly green things on the ground with that certain smell. And sure they certainly know the different types of gras and go for the ones they like. And they likely like the types that are best for them overal, because the cows that did go for the wrong types did not prosper so much in history.

Instinctal pattern matching.

But that probably includes the insects in the grass.

So I meant no concept of grass in the meaning of: Photosynthesis based plants of that family.

Concept of smell and taste of a certain patch of grass (including the insects) - certainly.
Boeing does as well, and is that not partially to blame to weak regulations? (or regulators not doing their job)

We may agree that piracy is theft, but 'ALittleLight has a point.

From Novembrer 2011 — when it was published — to September 2012 — when the author believes it's been "pirated" — there is a window of just 10 months. Not 21 months. 10 months.

Now, did sales beging to drop only after September?
Were them already going down? How long before?
How do sales typically go over time for books? For Amazon books?
Other possible causes?

Moreover, I think your analogy is completely off. Here is a better one.

You can't find your credit card anymore. You are notified of suspect online payments by your bank. Thinking about it, you're quite sure you left it at the supermarket; and you somehow conclude that that sneaky cashier must have stolen it.

But it turns out, your son got a trojan while trying to pirate a PlayStation game on your family PC with the magnificent Windows XP, and your card number was saved in Google Chrome.

So you're saying these people don't want to use BTC? If they used BTC exclusively for everything this wouldn't be an issue. Dollar denominated contracts only matter if all you have is dollars. By that I mean that if you buy 0.01 BTC today and hold them until the contract is completed then you face zero foreign exchange risk.

If you don't possess the BTC on the day you signed the contract then you basically created an option with a zero dollar strike price. You aren't truly using the currency the way helloworld1 and others imply.
Oh, yes. This surely will stop them from improper behavior.

Self employed people aren't disconnected from society though, they don't "work for themselves", they still need to offer something that others consider to have value. I don't think we want parenting to be judged in that regard, it does very much change the relationship between the individual and the state (and not in a good way imho).
Track and trace works way better when you have 20 or so people infected than when you have 100,000. It's not even the health system, just the logistics of tracking everyone down. I kind of experienced both - the first in Koh Lanta and the second in London.
And those are still far more regulated than drivers, and they would be regulated even stricter would they routinely kill others without being harmed themselves. Meanwhile, cars are advertised by how well they protect the driver in events that likely involve killing others.
I'll admit I've never played with or looked into Genode, so I can't meaningfully comment on it.

Regarding seL4, I haven't played with it but I did read their whitepaper. I believe they are setting the gold standard for microkernels in reliability and correctness. Not many systems can claim to have a formally-verified trusted computing base of not only their source code, but the binary artefacts too. This is the closest kernel project I know of that can potentially mitigate against attacks as described in the paper "Reflections on Trusting Trust" by Ken Thomson.

That is not to say that their approach is fool-proof. Like any proof, they make assumptions, which in this case is that the base hardware (CPU, MMU, memory...) does and only does what their specification claims, which the long list of erratas in Intel CPUs as well as Spectre, Meltdown, rowhammer, the Intel Management Engine debacle and others showed that they definitely don't. Not that other hardware vendors are immune too, by the way.

Their formally-verified proof is also limited to the microkernel. So while they claim to guarantee that userland processes can't compromise the microkernel nor compromise other userland processes through the microkernel (which does have its uses in embedded systems requiring high reliability), it has no bearing on what the userland does. Heartbleed wouldn't have been stopped by seL4 for example, not to mention social engineering, evil maid attacks, DMA attacks, attacks on packaging system (I lost count of the number of NPM modules that were compromised over the years), not to mention plain user stupidity.

In a way, "Reflections on Trusting Trust" by Ken Thomson has never been more relevant than today. On a typical Linux desktop operating system, we effectively blindly assume that hundreds of millions of lines of code, taken from tens of thousands of code repositories from the Internet, written in mostly unsafe languages (or languages whose interpreters/VMs are written in unsafe languages), running on a monolithic kernel with tens of millions of code written in C, running on hardware that is effectively a big black box, does what they're supposed to do and nothing more.

Even if you do audit stuff, a human can't possibly audit everything from the LLVM compiler to your web browser, not to mention we are effectively emotionally-driven, tribal-minded, chemically-influenced, prejudiced, illogical and error-prone ape brains and anyone pretending to be a perfect Vulcan is either delusional or lying.

Not to mention, I just read their whitepaper and thought to myself "yeah, sounds good". I haven't actually audited seL4, their methodology and their proof, so... As the meme says: everything is fine?
Thats allright. I suspect it has to do with the breathing impact and potentially accumulating of germs inside the mask?
Just that the subject is the politics of the time (i.e. what were the people at the time arguing about - what was that "legacy" they were looking to influence), and that modern authors are looking at things from a different perspective.

>for those who don't want to see their governments print away the value of their money.

The sad reality is that governments fail to do so. The irony behind your comment is that if they could, they would have stopped a long time ago.
>In today’s China, getting ahead often means speaking in the language of the Communist Party.

I simply hate this us Vs them mentality that creeps into everything journalists write. Everything is seen in the light of this. Seriously, name one country where "speaking the language" of those in power isn't a way to "get ahead"? Here it is an article about a doctor. If Dr. Fauci in the US had disagreed with both the democrats and the republicans he wouldn't be where he is now. We all need to be better to avoid this mentality.

Disclaimer: I'm neither American or Chinese so I'm not part of "either side" (which sadly have to be pointed out to not be seen as a shrill for one side of the other).
What's with IBus and IBus-centric IME switching being sub-optimal for better part of past decade or so[1], yet being pushed from non-CJK regions?

I was suffering from super bad bipolar episodes and a general mental health crisis recently when I came across a documentary about Cromwell. It was so inspiring to see someone struggle with the same problems and overcome them, accomplish such great things, and do it all before it was even recognized as a legitimate illness.

>having the necessary skills, to turn themselves away from committing crime.

I grew up running with a sketchy crowd. I knew several people who stole things on a recurring basis. None of them did it because they were desperate or had “poor morals”.

You’re deriving this from an incorrect mental model where nobody “wants to steal” and they do it out of desperation. This leaves out people who steal for the thrill, steal because they literally have no moral problem with taking from huge corporations, etc.,

I think you’ll find nearly identical justifications between a guy that votes for someone to raise taxes on mega corporations and an anarchist who just steals from them directly.
They're not islands in a strict geographical sense, but there are a dozen or so countries which are de-facto islands for any practical purposes - accessible only through large bodies of water, with land borders mostly impassable or crossed so infrequently that they don't matter.

South Korea, North Korea, Finland, Vietnam, several central American countries and others. Even China fits the bill. Not sure how frequent traffic across Thai borders are, but my impression is that SE Asian countries are not very well integrated.

The effort of making a physical object and a digital object can be reasoned to be quite similar. Yet the digital object has the potential to be worth literally billions because it's easily and infintely replicateable. Physical objects made once, available to one person means the price is dictated by economy/market. Digital objects made once, available to everyone everywhere should mean it's price is practically zero if you want to treat it like a physical object. And surprise surprise many businesses do want to treat digital objects like physical objects. They often artificially limit the "supply" side. Digital things don't work like physical things. Sitting around in a world where 100% of people (who have access to the internet) can have a digital creation for practical use and entertainment is like being on the brink of a utopia. Yet we're all trying to argue about a fundamental aspect of a digital object as being "unethical". Intellectual property should only give one right - the right to claim authorship. We need to come up with a better way to give those that make digital objects money that isn't artificial limiting or unethical advertisements.
