Wayland currently only supports integral scaling, so as long as you don't want the content on the screen to be noticeable smaller (no scaling) or bigger (scaling by 2) you have a problem.

Sure some wayland implementations do support fractional scaling but only in a way which leads to not so crisp fonts and images (scaling by 2 and then down scaling the pixel output to the given 1.x scaling factor), which defeats the whole point of getting a higher resolution screen.

Sure if your 1440p screen is also size wise bigger this might not matter but then my argument was always about increasing resolution without increasing monitor size. E.g. like a 1440p14" Laptop or similar.

Also a perfect size scaling on a 1440p14" to make the UI be the same size as on a 1080p14" monitor is technically impossible, through there are ways to get solutions which are good enough anyway (but not scaling to exactly the same size but something close by, separately for each font and other elements in a UI).

And while X impl. might work better, lets be honest X is dead. Still used, sure, but dead anyway.

Do you have thoughts on adderall?
The argument you made was (Bitcoin's value is based on...):

- completely ephemeral feelings

- the size of its network

And that both of those can disappear overnight.

Now you're changing the argument to if Bitcoin can be used for "a stable store of value" and if it's a "large useful network".

Then no, Bitcoin is currently not stable, it's pretty easy to see if you look at the fluctuation of the price. And yes, it is a useful, large network currently live in a production environment today. Sure, it has lots of problems, but since people are using it, we can consider it useful (at least to the people using it), otherwise people wouldn't use it.

The housing market in 2008 is hardly relevant to Bitcoin, as that market is controlled by larger entities that has power to decide things, ultimately the government. Bitcoin doesn't work like that, but I'm sure you're familiar with how Bitcoin works already, otherwise why would you discuss about it here?

The second argument you made was that "You can use Bitcoin to get around government sanctions" is the most "solid thing" you can say about Bitcoin, and that it's not exactly "high praise". The market clearly disagrees with you here, but then you think that it's more about "morals" than "financials". I agree with you here, but I say it's morally a good praise to be able to get around any restriction, especially since that was one of the original goals with Bitcoin. That Bitcoin set that as a goal, and still is achieving it after many years of attempts of being taken down, shows that the value the market assigns to Bitcoin is much closer to reality than what you think is the value of Bitcoin.

Overall, you are discussing in bad faith it seems. You're not interested in learning a new perspective, you're interested in converting others into your perspective, so unfortunately this conversation is not very fruitful. Take care.
Multiplier in M1 can be pipelined or relicated (or both), so issuing two instructions can be as fast as issuing one.

Instruction recognition logic (DAG analysis, BTW) is harder to implement than to implement pipelined multiplier. Former is a research project, while latter was done at the dawn of computing.
I don't like where the world is heading either, but let's get real:

JP Morgan is on board, now advising their investors to join in (and the bank behind Coinbase)

Fidelity is on board

Morgan Stanley is on board

Visa, MasterCard

AMEX has been using crypto to get best possible currency exchange rates for a couple years

Coinbase has a healthy relationship with the SEC and is about to get their banking charter approved for their own direct FDIC insurance, as well as IPO soon

Getting money out is NOT hard.

This is not a meme.
And mining Bitcoin requires chip makers (including rare earth materials), the tech industry and the whole internet. If you include side channels in visa, you'll need to do the same for Bitcoin.

Yes, Bitcoin has advantages, but low energy consumption is not one of them.
Isn't it true that Garzón and Pablo Iglesias identify themselves as communists?

If the leader of a party identifies himself as a Nazi, it's a nazi party. If the leader identifies as a communist, it's a communist party. That's it. That's the truth.

If a nazi is in power, how would you call the government? The same applies to the communist.

Why do people still claim Bitcoin is a store of value? It has none of the properties of a good store of value IMO.

- Boom/bust cycles means you’re at high risk of not being able to withdraw without losing most of your value
- There’s no regulation of reserves in other more tangible values behind the currency
- Bitcoin has no value to others not holding Bitcoin. Gold and art still has value to others not holding it. That is, I’d be willing to buy gold or art at a certain price for their practical or esthetical use, not just as an investment scheme. This puts a more solid barrier for how low the price of these assets can go.
- The future regulation of cryptocurrencies is highly uncertain. Just look at India. I have no doubt that other countries will follow. Most likely there will be regulations requiring reserves behind cryptocurrencies. There’s not much reason to think that governments will be cool with printing money with zero reserves in the long term just because they’re printed by algorithms. It’s not allowed for banks, why should cryptocurrencies be treated differently?

Bitcoin is a high-risk high-reward investment scheme. A pretty good one so far. Nothing wrong with that. It’s absolutely not a store of value.

That's cool. Thanks for clarification. They Sync and Publish services look promising, too (Publish shows a mini graph of connected pages, which is a refreshing approach to showing relations of published notes/pages).
If everyone were honest about this then we wouldn't have to rehash the same criticism over and over again. Bitcoin is still a better gamble than a lottery ticket and I won't blame anyone for feeling that way. I just hate seeing deception and misinformation and generally scammy behavior, basically anyone who wants to turn the lottery into a negative sum bet as opposed to a zero sum bet.

But even if it's bad planning, as long as it's acknowledged and fixed, I get over it. The worst thing is IMO if the extra hours are required often and not reimbursed in some way.

My previous team would consistently burn through people after setting irrational deadlines, promise to be better with planning next quarter except it would be just the same as the previous. I left. I've heard they're doing better now but it took pretty much everyone to leave (except some super senior people who are probably paid their weight in gold every month) for management to see it as a problem. And worse, it wasn't the team managers who saw it as a problem but the HR who were concerned about bad retention in this team.

In my current team, I've also had crunches and I worked until 1AM on some ocassions, but after the crunch my manager or team lead would just reach out and say 'take it easy now for a couple of days and no need to file PTO' and they'd actually try to amend the planning next time. What a difference it makes.

Except that a CDROM wants to be able to seek quickly (say 100 milliseconds) while also read a disc at 1x speed (taking 75 minutes).

Having a DC motor which can run smoothly across 5 orders of magnitude is pretty much impossible. Stiction will always be more than 0.05% of the motors power output.

You therefore have to use a "go-stop" approach based on laser feedback instead.

‘A Perfect World’ Around Every Miniature Bend
If the headline said "viruses" or "bacteria" instead of "plants", I'd definitely expect they meant live ones (and also that it's time to shelter-in-place even more than I already am).

> use case: enterprise app are at the intersection of real life and the virtual world: the rules are messy, illogical and have a baggage of 20/30+ years. Thus they cannot be changed at all.

This is in my experience exactly the problem. They can be changed and should be changed as it would save everyone boatloads of time and money. Engineers need to advocate these business process simplifications, and managers need to illustrate the ROI of making such simplifications.

One has to challenge nonsensical requirements: it’s a critical part of engineering.
Covid test results in Berlin used auto_increment IDs
There was a MOOC from TU Delft called Solving Complex Problems. The course professor made a distinction with the term ‘complex’ as different from complicated. The complex problems in the course involved people and opinions and personal/self interest in public policy.

I recall hearing in another context the distinction between a complicated Swiss watch versus a cockroach, which would be described as complex.

Through that lens your question is undermined.

But I take your point. I would say there are a lot of complex ideas I understand from philosophy; however, the very language you use contains critical distinctions. The terms and their construction are not plastic, or forgiving, so an extemporaneous explanation for a lay audience frequently fails.

A complicated idea which I understand with a more stable basis is accounting’s debit-credit model. Then again, teaching this versus explaining it to someone is different depending on your num3rical literacy. How much time do you have?

Watching 3 hours of TV is perfectly fine. Lean into the binge watching. Do more of it. Find more shows you want to watch. Pile it on, watch so much you get bored and then turn it off. Then maybe just sit there. Maybe that takes a few weeks.

I think there's been some research that professional/thinking jobs can be as taxing on someone as hard labor like construction. Your brain needs time to relax, decompress, and wander. You have a stable job and free time after work to do whatever you want. This is part of being human - your hierarchy of needs is mostly complete, I assume.

Set all of those things aside for now (book, duolingo, web-dev, etc.) Just chill. Don't treat hobbies or recreational activities like work. The interest in them will come back to you naturally. If it doesn't then were you really that interested? Or was there some observation of others falsely creating a desire?

If one of your interests is career related (web-dev), seek out time during your work day to further your career. Sneak it in if your employer won't allow it.

It does to me. Vaping nicotine always felt like more of a stimulant- whereas cigarettes were more relaxing.
I know it is hard to wrap your head around, but really, the link does not fundamentally matter. Cryptopunks are just a hash of all the images. The whole point of an NFT token is to be a digital signature, essentially. It is just a shared agreement between buyer and seller to value that signature, and as long as we know that it represents the Beeple artwork, then the fact that the technical implementation points to a porn url, who cares - that is just an aide.

In fact, the original art could even be lost (as much physical art is). People could still value the signature!

Alexandr Solzhenitsyn's Nobel Prize Lecture
Regarding seamless FFI, I suspect that part of the JNI friction was intentional, out of fear that programmers would use FFI as a crutch.

Erlang's BEAM's nif[0] interface is the best I've seen in mainstream runtimes for FFI. You write an Erlang/Elixir/etc. function, and loading a native library may swap out the function body. This allows for workarounds in Erlang/Elixir/etc. in case of version skew in your native libraries.

In my day job, I work with a domain-specific language with a similar FFI (actually, 3 different FFIs, one similar to nifs), and it's very handy to have a fallback that does things with /proc/, calling external command line binaries, slower versions of FFI functions, etc. (This allows the native code release schedule to be decoupled from the domain-specific language code changes.)

The syntax isn't the same, but a Java-like syntax would be

// getpid is built in, but it could be done something like this
// look for XNativeGetPID() in mylib.so or mylib.dll depending on OS
@native_replace("XNativeGetPID", "mylib")
public static int getpid() {
// Throw an exception if you want to force
// native implemementation
return Integer.parse(Runtime.system( "/bin/grep pid /proc/self/status | /bin/sed 's/..." ));
}

Show HN: I Built a Native Web Debugging Proxy for iOS and macOS
It took me 2 years to implement a native Web Debugging Proxy on macOS (https://proxyman.io), and now I finally bring it to iOS by leveraging the power of Network Extension.

Basically, they can capture the HTTP/HTTPS Request/Response and view it in plain-text. You can think that it's a modern version of Charles Proxy and Fiddler.

To say thanks, I'd offer 40% OFF with this code HAPPY_LAUNCH_DAY. As soon as you have a macOS License, you can redeem it for Premium iOS.

Thank you for the links. I follow all of them now.

But I think I know what my problem is and it's not what you think.

Mastodon seems to be user centered, but I don't want to follow specific users. I want to be fed with interesting content. So I'd prefer content centered fediverse.

The fediverse I'm looking for should be able to infer my interests and feed me content that is interesting to me as quickly as possible when I don't have any social graph. Because I don't have any relevant social graph. Not on any fediverse, not on twitter, not on Facebook, not on youtube. I just have some interests.

> hard drives having moved entirely into the market traditionally occupied by tape

It'll be curious if the hyperscale clouds decide to self-manage more HDD functions, and dumb down the devices ($), or leave that to HDD manufacturers ($$).

I imagine there's some savings to be had stripping memory & controllers out of drives, when you're deploying in large groups anyway. Similar to what was done with networking kit.

Or maybe this already happens? Moreso than "RAID-edition" drives.
This is not to refute your comment, but would you have been able to foresee what problems the internet will solve when ARPANET had 15 sites in 1971? I mean if someone would have told you back then that you'd be able to stream a movie in 4K from more or less anywhere in the world, you'd probably have laughed that person out of the room. So look at ARPANET back then and look at the internet today and how much innovation has happened on top of it. And I'm sure there will be a lot more innovation on the good ol' internet for many more years to come.

In a similar way, BTC will evolve. It arguable already has. All the money flowing into cryptocurrencies and the crypto tech stack drives more and more competition (and yes - also corruption and bad behaviour) and some of it will be meaningful. Just like some tech startups were/are scams, some are kind of useless but harmless and a few changed the world. I personally don't know what problem(s) crypto will solve, but I can see that the technology summons a lot of creative energy. Creative energy that gets empowered through capital and channeled through competition will eventually produce breakthroughs somewhere. Let mankind's creativity run wild and let yourself surprise by the unexpected outcomes!

Also, .NET 5 is now here, and 6 is already in preview, which are much, much more backwards compatible than .NET Core 3. And unlike Python, we had .NET Standard to start migrating code between Framework and Core. A lot of extant code on NuGet has already migrated and there is really very little you can't do these days.

I'm not sure that is necessarily a problem. If someone is willing to suffer in prison to get revenge, then there must be some kind of serious grievance behind it. They say "an armed society is a polite society", and this kind of double edged sword might just lead to a more polite society. It becomes a formalized way of taking vigilante justice basically.

Google has too much concentrated power and it is a monopoly.
Search + Ads alone, a browser, a DNS network, an OS, cars, cloud. It's just the tip of the iceberg.

Not that much compared to other direct or indirect causes.
What is the reasonable additional cost in lives of citizens in order to capture a Bin Laden type terrorist alive, hold a public trial, and presumably sentence him to life in prison?

Taking someone like that out with a bullet or a drone is much less risky operationally. They also avoid the additional geopolitical complexity of needing occupying forces in the relevant country.

Maybe there should be some pre-operation due process rights, but it seems callous in other ways to insist on non-violence in all cases. Especially in response to catastrophic violence.

And isn't something incompatible, as I believe that some kind of communist democratic government can be possible.
