Hmm, that's a difficult question for me because I learnt using some books by a blogger called Lutz Geißler [1], but I'm afraid they're written in German and there's no translated version.
I haven't yet found any resources written in English that fulfill my personal checklist, but that's probably because I haven't looked hard enough.

My recommendations on what to look for:

1. This should be rather obvious, but nevertheless: Avoid bread baking machines. They are trading a lot of quality, customizability and enjoyment for a little convenience.

2. Avoid the temptation of recipes that promise fast results. As a rule of thumb: If the recipe calls for an entire or even multiple packages of yeast and proofing time is less than an hour, the recipe is trading all the flavor in exchange for fast results. Tiny amounts of yeast (seriously, 0.1g of fresh yeast is a common occurence) and proofing time measured in many hours or even days (in the fridge) are a requirement for good bread.

But don't worry if the proofing time is that long: You're not actually working during the proofing time - while proofing, the dough is working for you! With a little planning, most recipes can be integrated into the working day.

However, the recipes are not everything. The reason I personally like Geißler's approach to baking is that it embodies the rather scientific craft of baking: Essentially, you have a number of parameters (proofing time, dough temperature, flour composition) that all influence the final bread. Geißler explains the consequences of adjusting these parameters, which allows you to actually understand what's happening inside the dough. Ideally, you shouldn't blindly follow the recipe's instructions, but rather observe the actual progress of the dough and accordingly.

For example, imagine your recipe calls for 90 minutes of final rise time (after bulk fermentation and shaping) at 20-22 °C. However, your room temperature is significantly higher at the moment. Instead of waiting the full 90 minutes, you check on the dough after 60 minutes. Using the finger test (pressing a finger into the dough and checking how far it rebounds), you determine the dough is not yet ready and give it another ten minutes.

It is precisely this controllable, observable and empirical process that I like about bread baking.

> That seems to be true. After looking into the Linux implementation, I realized that it's python and not something more low level.

There are two implementations in our organization project, one in Python which supports NetMD only and the more complete one written in C/C++.
I don't think the kernel guarantees that if X runs against Linux today, then it will run against the same X on new kernels on new hardware in perpetuity. It's more along the lines of, "if I one calls the read syscall with parameters a, b, c, it won't suddenly require a 4th parameter, or demand they be in a, c, b order."

Anyways, if the kernel developers decided they wanted to invent a brand new uAPI that does graphics, I wouldn't at all be surprised if new GPU drivers only implemented the new uAPI if their target userspace programs all use the new uAPI instead of an older uAPI. Nothing in userspace is "broken" because it will seem to the old uAPI using userspace as if there is no driver for the new GPU.
Having worked in a lab, this is dead on truth. The fact of the matter is labs are not perfect and a leak is more likely than you'd think.
And to a fair extent these questions are academic - say that it wasn't a lab leak and came from a natural reservoir. That doesn't change the fact that BSL-4 lab protections aren't perfect and there will be leaks of a similar magnitude of risk in the future.

The biological research community are obviously playing with some much riskier toys than everyone else.
Desperate conditions breed desperate responses.
The craft $ANYTHING scene is a bigger deal in the US, but you can get better beer, bread, or cheese at almost any decent shop in Germany. There is a lot of Americanized crap in the stores, but if you know enough to avoid that, the bar for what is acceptable quality is pronouncedly higher,
across the board.

In the US the standards are ... flexible, the patrons can be sold all sorts of myths bc they don’t know much to begin with, and you wind up with things like $9 slices of toast and all ‘craft’ beer coming in a 16oz can with a wacky sticker on it and tasting like pine tar. Everyone’s happy though bc they had to wait in line for these pleasures and had ample time to post online about what they were doing!

If you speak German there are a handful of fantastic documentaries about village bakeries and breweries produced by BR, including some cool stories about the next generation of those trades finding new markets. It’s hard to compete with the allure of the new, even when you’re making the best beer in the world the same way it’s been made for hundreds of years.

Well, in js performance it is unfortunately behind in some benchmarks as far as I know. And some major non-standard website refuses to run under firefox, like teams unfortunately (definitely the fault of Microsoft)

There was always civilisation in the the "New" world. Europeans merely displaced what was there previously. Most of those Aztec, Mayan, etc, etc civilisations were more advanced than the Europeans that displaced them.

I see the US in a hundred years as being much like Britain today. Both having a sort of faded prestige, but no real power, because they can no longer extract wealth from other nations. Once Britain lost India in the 1940s, it lost the 'Jewel in the Crown', the source of trillions of dollars worth of British wealth that had sustained Britain for a couple of hundred years.
I just tried FF again today for the first time in months and updated to the latest Mac version and...I found the Quit feature didn't work. Neither Command-Q nor Quit option from the menu...And it's something like this every time I try it -- there another wtf moment with the first 5 minutes.
I'd love to move to Firefox, but I havent committed to fully because the Profiles and the corresponding switching mechanism in Chrome is just too good.

I don't want to use containers to manage the different work/personal profiles I have and the lack of easy way to toggle between the two (a keyboard shortcut) has been a deal-breaker every time I tried to switch.

The profile manager in Firefox is long overdue a revamp.
....I presented a lot of extremely detailed arguments backed up by references in my original post and you just dismissed them by saying they "cherry pick" data.

How is that true about anything I said regarding S/NS ratios, molecular clock analysis, the mosaic nature of the virus, the presence of O-linked glycans, the promiscuity and non-species specific nature of the spike protein, etc.

You conducted the mother of all handwaves and then asked me to present "actual" arguments. What? You never even approached the detail of any arguments I have made thus far.

I'm not going to make new ones until you provide some actual factual responses to the ones I've already made, thanks.

I have to nitpick. I don't believe there's evolutionary pressure to evolve this. Evolution is (going to piss some people off) almost entirely random. There may be purifying selection but that has an entirely different set of properties than the idea of Lamarckian evolution.

Edit: Perhaps to clarify, what I'm trying to say is that evolution does not have foresight. And this is not my opinion, but merely that of Eugene Koonin, and I'm just repeating it.

Historically, only links got the pointer (hand) cursor, not all clickable things. Buttons and everything else kept the regular arrow cursor. Desktop software on all operating systems has always worked like this.

> perfectly possible with X11 because the pitch information is exposed via the Xrandr extention

Only the "Windows" kind of scaling where the app works in non-scaled, real pixels and does everything by itself. Not the "Apple" kind of scaling that Wayland supports, where you have logical pixels backed by 2x/3x/… the physical pixels. (Like many things Apple does, this was invented for good reasons. Positioning a window to be on both a 1x and a 2x monitor just works with that kind of scaling, without the app ever having to consider the displays it touches.)

> Solved since ages. Just enable Tearfree in your Xorg.conf.

That's a driver-specific hack that kinda maybe works sometimes. Sometimes you need to juggle compositor options combined with that and nothing works anyway.

> X11 runs even on 386's and beats Wayland in every performance metric, especially latency.

Any composited X11 desktop is slower than a Wayland one, with the Xorg server acting as a bloated IPC broker in between the compositor and the client.

Yeah, you can get really low latency if you just don't composite at all. Go back to Windows 95 if you think that's acceptable :)

> X11 is capable of using hardware layers that has the effect that you can smoothly move your mouse even on heavy load and OOM events. Wayland still completely craps out in that regard.

I'm sure pretty much all production Wayland compositors use the cursor layer. wlroots for sure does. (But I don't think it's a big deal under heavy load, there the problem is the display server even processing the mouse events at all first.)

Weston goes further and can use HW layers for actual surface compositing when possible. wlroots is going to gain that power soon-ish with libliftoff.

> The wrong philosophy ("every frame is perfect")

Again, feel free to use Windows 95.

For anyone used to current commercial desktop and mobile UIs, any imperfect frames are unacceptable, artifacts like tearing make your system look like a complete joke. Apple computers didn't show imperfect frames since the early early 2000s PowerPC era. Not matching that is a complete shame.

I think it's pretty likely the FBI convinced him to attempt to carry out this attack, to the extent that he did. For one, that's pretty much the standard FBI tactic - convince the mentally unwell to agree to something criminal and then arrest them for it. For another, the criminal complaint linked in the article kind of suggests this.

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/20612508-pendley-ble...

Read points 18-21 especially though the whole thing is interesting. The guy starts by saying if he had cancer he'd drive a truck into these data centers and hope it would blow up 70% of the internet. The FBI guys then follow up with him "So are you going to do it yet", "Have you picked a target yet", and "I have some bombs you can use" (not exact quotes but approximate). When he drives out to take a look at the site they arrest him.

Maybe this guy would've gone on to commit the same crime on his own. Maybe he would've connected with real terrorists who would've motivated him the same way the FBI did. I doubt it though - this is the FBI's retelling and we can kind of see hints of manipulation. Plus, the FBI arrests way more of these bombers than "get through". Is that because the FBI are hypervigilant and super effective, or because they are growing their own terrorists and arresting them?
It could be that he isn't productive. I have this problem, where if I sit and code for too long I end up just wasting time debugging or writing useless code.

Maybe I'm just another uneducated recent college grad, but I really don't see how you can work 7+ hours a day and actually be productive. Doing different kinds of work or taking frequent breaks, possibly. But not just sitting and staring at your computer for 7 hours.

> It's not xenophobic for people from the US to suggest the possibility of a lab leak, because the US was itself funding gain of function research

What an odd way of thinking. So if there actually was a lab leak, and the US wasn't doing this research we couldn't investigate it?
I don't see anything unsafe here. Merely storing a pointer, whatever it may be, doesn't violate memory-safety. Dereferencing a pointer in some cases does. The article contains one of those cases: use-after-free. If the pointer wasn't dereferenced, all code would be fine, including the line with ".as_ptr()".

Implied? No, not even with the most uncharitable interpretation did tombert even imply that being poor makes you "crazy" or that being crazy makes you a criminal. A hindered ability to think rationally might only make one more impulsive or less able to consider long term consequences.

This really indicates you have idea about China. The CCP can easily make millions and tens of millions not only quiet, but enthusiastically deny what happened to them.
Fun fact: I hit the exact same bug when working on FamiTracker in C++, with a MFC type also called CString... "construct a CString, acquire a pointer into the internals, destroy the CString". The only reason it doesn't make FamiTracker crash is because MFC's CString is COW/refcounted, and the refcount never reached zero because it was constructed from a long-lasting string literal, so the underlying buffer was still valid after destroying the string object.

I feel that tying deallocations to destructors is a benefit to safe code, and a hindrance to unsafe code. I feel explicit calls to "destructor" functions that move self (perhaps using defer), plus linear typing to statically ensure you don't forget to call a destructor or call one twice, can provide safety in both situations, but at the expense of verbosity and not interacting well with exceptions. I still believe linear typing (argued against by Gankra in https://gankra.github.io/blah/linear-rust/) will fix multiple deficiencies in Rust:

- It helps write allocation-free code which passes objects around without creating/destroying them (maybe an Alloc effect would help too).

- Making drops explicit makes it harder to screw up when writing unsafe code performing allocations/deallocations. It may or may not help protect against double-frees that occur upon panicking.

- File's Drop implementation ignores the return code of fclose(), since you can't return values from a destructor. So dropping a File directly should be prohibited (except during panic-unwinding, which I feel is a rare scenario where perfect error-checking is less crucial than not risking more panics). Instead you move the file into a close() method/function, and are expected to check the Result<(), error> that comes out.

- From what I've read, trying to perform an asynchronous cancellation operation in the standard Drop method is not possible, since the method lacks access to the executor (unless you hard-code an executor to block on). It would make sense to make explicit dropping illegal (as a lint) and require moving it into a "drop"-like function, but keep Drop around to be called during panic-unwinding. This may result in logically incorrect behavior, but is still memory-safe. And I think it's better than making your async-fn state machines always larger to fit awaiting-a-drop states, and awaiting the async runtime when you panic-unwind.

> it does not guarantee anything is secure.

Indeed. But looking at the state of the average Wayland compositor right now I trust all of my X11 software more than I trust Wayland. Especially when X11 and most clients have been battle tested for up to 35 years.

Besides that, you can also use Xpra for sandboxing which has better desktop integration.
