I actually seriously foresee a split occurring in the Linux community that will also affect users of other Unix-like operating systems. On one side you have modern Linux software projects like systemd and Wayland. These projects address deficiencies in traditional solutions, but certain design choices in these projects have not been well-received by more traditional users of Linux and the BSDs.

The increase in the amount of user-level software that depends on systemd and Wayland is a forcing factor. For example, my understanding is that official distributions of GNOME depend on systemd, and many Linux desktops are being actively developed for Wayland (though I don't think any major desktop environment or toolkit has abandoned X11). I expect this trend to continue, given that systemd is part of the most popular Linux distributions, Wayland will be default in Ubuntu (https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ubuntu-2...), and GNOME runs on Wayland (with KDE's port to Wayland being actively developed: see https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=KDE-2021...).

So, yes, I do see a split occurring between "modern Linux" (with systemd and Wayland) and "traditional Linux," with the BSDs fitting in closer to the "traditional Linux" camp.
There's a battle over basically everything beyond drawing basic windows in the Wayland sphere, with the parties' attitudes about as follows:

- Wayland team: "Out of scope, lol" (security, keeping it as generic as possible)

- Gnome: "Works for us" (dbus APIs specific to Gnome")

- wlroots: Developing extensions to the Wayland protocol and attempting to get them into Wayland proper and adopted by others

- KDE: Mostly going the KDE way where it makes sense, but open to wlr persuasion (they will implement layer-shell, but keep their own ways for some other things)

- Freedesktop group (I'm the least familiar with this one): Promoting some stuff meant for Flatpak, but not really showing much initiative beyond that

This fragmentation is one of the reasons Wayland adoption is slow. Users expect things to work across desktops as they used to on X and developers aren't always clear about compatibility either. Many people seem to think that Wayland is just another display server (it's not, it's a protocol!) with all of the old functionality and are frustrated when they find out it is not.

The fragmentation will probably exist for quite a while. Pipewire will probably take over the screen sharing space and KDE and wlroots will share more protocols (Gnome gonna Gnome, of course), but there are just many things that are compositor family- or even compositor specific, like an xkill-equivalent, which I still miss dearly.

I agree with you on major points. Tesla proponents' ignorance of competition (both technical and general / market share) is difficult to comprehend. Re: Bitcoin - I disagree, it is a totally different story, but it's off-topic / outside of the scope here.
>> How many ASICs are located within territory controlled by the Chinese Communist Party?

> Something like 65%. Locating and coordinating all entrepreneurs (thousands dispersed and not broadcasting a location) to attack the network would be highly unlikely and a bit of a tin foil hat scenario. If a 51% attack occurred it would need to be sustained and in the end would likely result in a fork of the chain.

You forget that the Chinese internet is heavily monitored, run by state-owned businesses, with all external traffic going through government-controlled choke points running a big famous firewall. Literally every network connection and online account is required to be linked to someone's official ID.

I'm pretty sure the Chinese government could track down every Bitcoin miner in China in fairly short order. They just need to program the great firewall to detect bitcoin protocol traffic (they already detect VPN protocols), then cross reference that with their telecom account records. These are things they already do on a regular basis, as part of the current monitoring efforts. If they want to be really sure they're targeting miners, they could probably cross reference that again with data from the state-owned power companies, but I'd guess that they don't do that often so it would take more work.
> We are speaking about languages, not which implementations are available.

When it comes to adoption, an area where Eiffel has clearly lagged, the availability of implementations can't be an afterthought; not when you have good, free implementations for Python, Ruby, Go, Rust, Julia, and many more.

Objective-C and Swift are interesting languages that are held back by the fact that the best environment is Xcode on a Mac. Similarly, Qt has been plagued by license anxiety for years (first the QPL, and now the delayed LGPL releases). Therefore, I would say that one of the "obvious, non-negotiable things any new OO language should have," to quote the article, is a good open source implementation.
It does say something about the inverse though.

If success is determined by positive thinking that seems like it strongly implies that success is a necessary and sufficient condition.

Which implies that a lack of success is a failure of attitude.

Admittedly, this is mostly a semantics game of what specifically "determines" means, but to me it strongly implies both necessary and sufficient.
My issue forever is where do you draw the line?

Automated computer generated art is as beautiful as the greatest paintings.

Do we end up calling the team of programmers whom coded the program——Artists, or is it just the user of the powerful program? Artist in the traditional sense?

I remember working out at Muir Woods years in the 90’s. A new guy was telling me what he wanted to do with his life. He told me he wanted to become a computer Artist.

I remember both of us debating at what point is the tool more powerful than the person. He was dead set on computer art is just art. Their was no line to cross.

I’m still unsure. I don’t want to get into a debate either.

(If the guy I had the conversation with happens to read this, I hope you are doing well. I hope you are in this industry, and happy. I always felt you were going to make it big.)
> disprove ... that messaging has a right

Well, I think "messaging" is an abstract concept. It doesn't have rights, so there was nothing to prove.

Nevertheless, credit matters, because people matter, and do have rights. One of those rights is to have an opinion, including the opinion that messaging is the core of OOP.

> clearly and consistently saying that in the 70s

This is indeed a preposterous and unhealthy standard to expect of anyone, on any topic. It's the kind of thing that two-bit politicians like to dig up on each other, to nobody's edification.
I think consoles are great devices to make gaming accessible to the masses, requiring little to no effort to get up and running. Where I draw the line is console exclusives.

I will not purchase a console that forces me to buy hardware I do not need because they ban experiences from other platforms to try gain a competitive edge. I feel this is damaging to the industry as games with incredible experiences are blocked behind a paywall (and often restricted quality).

Consoles should compete on experience and features, not exclusive games that you can't play without buying into the ecosystem.

I only just got around to finishing Bloodborne (at 20-30 fps) and it's a game I have wanted to play since I saw the trailer back in 2013. It's so sad that they limit this game's IP to only PS4 owners. I would love to see the lore expanded upon in sequels (that run at an unlocked, variable frame rate), but if demon souls is anything to go by, we won't.

If it were available for PC, I would buy it. If it were available via emulation, I would buy it.

People who pirate games do so because they can't afford them, and there is nothing less affordable than having to buy an entire device to play a game.

Emulation does complicate this somewhat because piracy is a necessity to the experience, something that could be addressed by the hardware vendors themselves.
Of course, we need a blockchain. Duping hasn't been much of a problem in online games for some time, its solved without blockchains.

Many games already does this on the server side with client side prediction. But this does nothing for aimbot, wallhacks or other strictly client side hacks.

Bots? Competetive games typically have matchmaking, doesn't do anything against cheaters.

None of these works for most competitive games, especially fps.
Thanks! That was the perfect paper.
> Dershowitz suggests that an earlier version of Leviticus 18 forbade homosexual incest, which if true would in turn lead to the conclusion that homosexuality wasn't forbidden in general.

That's fine as far as it goes, but it seems unlikely that there would be a specific prohibition on homosexual incest as opposed to incest in general.
There are lots of Switch games that have had to have serious compromises made to run them.
You need to checkout the youtube channel DFRetro that does a thorough analysis of the games between their various console releases.
The switch is slow and old hardware but Nintendo was never going for state of the art and it serves its function well
Does nothing against client side only hacks like wallhack, aimbot, esp, etc.

So we shouldn't have competitive online gaming at all?
Oof yeah. I really like what’s Tesla is doing. I love my model y, but I definitely skipped out on “$10k more for FSD.” It’s just not there yet.

Do I think people need to step in and force Tesla to dial back their advertisement, eh... idk, maybe, maybe yes?

To me, it’s pretty clear what “FSD” gets you these days (spoilers: not a lot). I suspect the average Tesla customer can also read. I also think reckless drivers will be reckless regardless of law or guidelines.

I think the increasing price for “FSD” and calling it fsd is all marketing designed to get people to FOMO into it (knowing that it might take a while).

What I would like to know is, if I pay “10k for FSD Someday” will this be applied to a future Tesla I buy that will actually be capable of FSD?
Sadly I think the people who are against UBI now, really don't care about anything like that. If someone is so devoid of empathy that they don't want to provide such a basic financial safety net for people in their own country from living in homelessness/poverty, I don't think they really care about paying people who's work they've used unknowingly.
My country has plenty of them (albeit we call them utes), but primarily Japanese models (god bless the Hilux), but there are the occasional American models. And they're frigging massive.

And the point of the article isn't "pick-ups suck" but looking at why the American pick-ups hit the 'roids.

Dodge has recently starting promoting the Ram here, and wow, the TV adverts are rather unsubtle about linking a "real truck" to masculinity.

Thanks, interesting to see that this seems like a niche market thats relitively untapped. What seems initially strange is its protecting SW that can be as much as 100k per seat (e.g. ASIC EDA licenses) I'm sure less scrupulous operations are pirating the SW, though perhaps the EDA vendors know the compabies who do pay are honest lest they are found out so a truly secure licensing system is less critical to them.
So, the mainstream consensus at that time was that the traditional date for deuteronomy should be replaced by a later date , based on historical-critical methods. These same dates and theories enjoy considerable love today. If the shapira fragments are a 9th century BC copy of deuteronomy, modern historical critical thoughts about the composition and dating of the pentateuch are wrong.

Edit: Not a consensus I guess but the documentary hypothesis was emerging in the 1860s and 1870s shortly before these fragments made their debut.
Because having to keep a site live doesn't automatically mean I need all the complexity of K8s? I can deploy my server on two VMs in two AZs with Ansible and run them with systemd to restart on crash. Just because I don't immediately jump to K8s doesn't mean I don't know how to run a site.

is a pure joy.

For example, he builds a complete 8 bit cpu on breadboards. He has a playlist dedicated to that project. He details each little step, explains each chip, and includes a lot of advice for success. He has a kit you can buy that contains all of the parts so you can follow along.

He also builds a 6502 breadboard computer setup. It also has a kit.

What makes his work stand out is his clear and patient explanation of every step.

I ordred his 8 bit kit. When I get it up and running I'm going to turn it into wall art for my office.

Price discrimination is a hard problem! There's a conflict between soaking your customers for as much as they're willing to pay, and making your product accessible to customers that won't pay that much. Finding a feature set that the first set of customers absolutely needs and will pay extra for, but the second set can live without, is hard.
> It has comparisons with nearest neighbor, bilinear and Lanczos filters and uses a slider to make it easier to see the difference.

Really glad to see they included Lanczos. It's extremely frustrating to those in the know to see comparisons that only use subpar algorithms. The worst only use a B-spline or nearest-neighbor upscale, and end up looking like one of those eyeglass prescription ads for seniors. Something like Lanczos is the minimum acceptable, I think.

Adobe's bicubic produces obvious severe artifacts, I assume it's something like a Catmull-Rom spline cubic.

Yes, exactly.

> It looks like systemd-oomd is related to (based on? from the same people as?) Facebook's oomd

Yep, I authored the original standalone oomd (along with many others' help) and Anita has been working on systemd-oomd. There's plans to converge and simplify everything that's been learned from oomd into systemd-oomd so the community can benefit from all our experiments.
It's basically the ostree idea on a smaller scale. Did you ever want to install some proprietary software with access to system libraries/config, but without actually polluting the global namespace? It's this. Like running a docker service with host as your base layer. (Minus other namespaces)

Honestly, it seems great and not very tricky for a system which already manages namespaces with private mounts.
I believe it depends on the duration between submissions and maybe some other factors, such as votes and comments.

Peter Thiel's support for Donald Trump, alongside the army of Musketeers, continues to pay dividends, I guess.
I deal with a lot of small businesses and to me it feels like that entire sector of the industry is being abandoned. Most small businesses owners are practical and will pay for things when they need them, but they're fairly price sensitive and they expect good value for their money.

Take MS365 as an example. Most small businesses I deal with would be way better off with Exchange than with their current shared hosting email providers, but the value just isn't there for a lot of them. Microsoft thinks they're selling all this awesome stuff like Exchange, OneDrive, Teams, etc. in an ultra valuable bundle, but all small businesses see is Exchange plus a bunch of other bloat they're never going to use but are forced to pay for. They just want Exchange.

Plus, at least for the ones I've dealt with, the partner exclusively interacts with the customer, so bad support gets labelled as having a bad partner, not as Microsoft being bad. That also means Microsoft isn't incurring any cost to be the first point of contact either. In fact, the only time I've ever dealt with MS support for something Exchange related, they sucked. I ended up solving my own problem and closing the support issue by telling them what was wrong. Reputationally, we're the one that recommends it, we're the first point of contact for support, and we're the ones that take the reputation hit if something isn't working. At least that's my experience.

I see lots of small businesses that have 50 mailboxes for $60 / year at a shared hosting provider. That's $.10 per month per user. Guess how they react when you tell them moving to MS365 will be $5 per month per user? Now I'm not saying MS365 isn't worth more, but it's a HARD sell to tell a small business they should pay 50x for something that's currently working fine as far as they're concerned. Then you add in things like backup solutions changing per user per month and all of a sudden you're telling a small business they should pay 75x for the same feature matrix their shared hosting provider is selling them. They don't care about all the stupid value adds. In fact that stuff is negative value because it's unneeded complexity which results in frustration and increased support costs.
You sound like you make a refutation, but you really don't. This whole discussion is about giving tools to developers that are systematically less error-prone, which your quote suggests would have been helpful to that specific development team.
This seems to have been the case for a few years yes. I'll definitely get an AMD card next time, I should have researched it better.
No a Linux/Systemd,

which uses LLVM for building Linux and Systemd, replaces all core utils with non GNU versions.
It use a non GNU libc and so on...

But that aside people often confuse/mixup the systemd service manager and the systemd project which bundles a wide variety of programs which can be used with systemd.

The reasons for this is because systemd itself confuses this. The change log is not split by sub-projects and the sub-projects have sometimes
no clean boundary between them and the systemd
service manager.

I think it would be nice if systemd changes in three ways:

1. Have more clean boundaries between the core service manager and it's sub-project.

2. Have a recurring periods where new features are blocked from being merged and development focused on cleaning up (e.g. fixing bugs). (I can recommend that
to any projects, very few do so).

3. Get "outside" feedback for certain mainly UX aspects, some parts of systemd are out right counter intuitive unless you are not very familiar with it. A thinks which is very easy to happen to any project, but still could be improved on (and maybe already is improved on).

Oh and there where a very few security WTF are you doing moments, I hope there will be no more such moments in the future as systemd on itself it quite
useful for Linux, especially desktop Linux.
I don't know about this person but I have an acquaintance who is a autistic and has three children, all on the spectrum, and they love them all. It never occurred to them that they should not have more children.
So no competitive online gaming then?
Think of the times though, and the engineering savvy of the average person back then.

A comparison for today might be to put the plans for a computer chip in front of an average non-technical small-time investor and then use slippery language to trick them into believing it is something it's not. Tell them it will be the next big thing and will return their money tenfold, and greed does the rest.

It's quite possible back then that the investors, having never seen a skyscraper - or maybe even a proper blueprint - just didn't know what they were looking at, never mind doing any kind of real due diligence.
This is exactly my problem. It is made by systemd team. "Everything" seems like it is getting replaced by stuff made by systemd team as if they had patented wisdom or what. Including other perfectly functioning software. I suddenly have to use systemd-* over them.

Like, hell, what is systemd-boot and when and why it replaced grub2?

I don't call this evolution. This is bad form of centralization and seizing power.

Right. Now lets ask ourselves why one would need to spend hundreds to play a particular game. The answer you will come across most commonly is platform exclusivity deals. I am happy to pay for a game, but not buy the hardware for a system I don't want, just because they leveraged their business clout to prohibit games from releasing on other platforms. In this case, I could care less about the bottom line of the console company or the game company who agreed to what I view as a corrupt collaboration.
