After a few years of wondering about the "why," I find this comment very illustrating; it feels like Wayland is one of many Linux related efforts (like Gnome and KDE) that are not particularly interested in a high level of interoperability and/or long term durability. Instead, the goal is more in the direction of trying to make their preferred way of things more dominant in the ecosystem. Now, if those efforts are actually good at it then more power to them. But most of the time, that doesn't happen, and I think it harms the Linux ecosystem, one that I am a fan of, overall.
That's one way to do it, it's probably not the best way but it would work if you were planning to sidestep Wayland security completely. You could make it user controllable with dbus and then make a GUI to talk to it.
We need an FBFBII to add some checks and balances to the system.
I was in a group project for a Psychology of Business class. This 4th string quarterback/son of a politician or some such just told us on the 1st day, "Well, considering we're graded as a group, I want to tell you I don't care what grade I get, so you guys are doing all of the work!"
Honestly, most of them probably haven't. Network is almost 50 years old now.

"All I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've got to say: 'I'm a human being, god-dammit! My life has value!'" is as relevant in 2021 as it was the 1970s, apparently.
I wouldn't say that. Using WASM is legitimate and will certainly give a performance boost at the very least. I'm just curious about the nuances of having it included in Chrome.
We replicate sharded, versioned, csv-files on-demand from S3 to Cloudflare edge for code run by workers.dev.

Cache invalidation is tricky. Avoid it by ttl-expiring caches as frequently as budget allows. We, instead, employ a (probably over-engineered) hand-rolled set-reconciliation algorithm to match our read/write patterns.

what positions do those 5% typically have? I imagine they're internally facing, but is there any other common patterns to the work they focus on?
Definitely, but Joe Rogan is nowhere near that line.

I don't have a problem with the platform restricting content. I have a problem with the behavior of the employees reaching outside of their role to forward their political goals. If your job is to curate content, and you disagree with the content of JRE, you would have stopped the deal from happening in the first place.

Etleap (YC W13) Is Hiring a VP of Product Marketing
real-politik and nation state realities are too often discounted on this topic. was there a lab leak? yes, that's highly likely. What was the genesis of this event? also highly likely it was related to pushing the bio-weapon envelope.

China is obviously pushing hard to catch-up, and doing so in every offensive dimension is highly likely given past behavior, to think otherwise is dangerously naive. What makes this crazy is the hubris(or discounting) of the numerous close calls for disaster during the cold war on this topic.

Well, you can do that in plenty of "config languages", including nginx[1]. The reason Lambda exists is that it's good for Amazon, because they can push all the costs of the logic back onto the customer. (It could also be good for the customer, in that whatever configuration Amazon might otherwise support could be limited.)

Those sound like topics worthy of debate. Hopefully you take advantage of the opportunity to provide counterpoints to Rogan's "nonsense" when it presents itself.

What's "dangerous" is the intolerance of thought that permeates society right now. We seem to have lost the ability to listen and then respond.

I always thought Joe Rogan might be more of an Art Bell-type personality. Personality, not authority.

Out of curiosity, did you maybe switch to a PCI card? DMA was just a better option in general with PCI than ISA, so just switching to a PCI card could likely relieve your CPU of work (unless the PCI card/driver weren't completely crap).
Everyone is citing the evidence of the SARS-CoV-1 leak as reason to believe that viruses escape labs.

But you know what's interesting about that?

We know about the CoV-1 leak because /the chinese scientists told us about it./

They owned up to it and told the world and the biosafety community (the people with degrees in these things) helped china become more standard and respectable and safe.

And now 15 years later, with zero evidence, we're accusing them of covering up the same thing.

Scientists are not their government, and China's government is not a huge fan of it's scientists. Just look at the great leap forward. And how they're treating Shi Zhengli now that she is arguing the virus came from a zoonotic event in the provinces. China's party line no longer agrees, and she's been silenced.

Why would she lie for her government when they don't even agree?
There's no real enforcement anyway though. We're talking about large outside recreational areas in exurban/rural areas. And even passing on trails, people are almost always at least 6 feet away. Also, as I say, people are mostly good about pulling something up if approaching a masked group, even if it's mostly theater.

My understanding is that closer to the city, more people are wearing masks outdoors but the walking paths are more crowded as well.
I think that that point actually supports the gist of the argument.

In 1995, putting together a website was easier than using Hypercard. And so people flocked to it. Even people who were already somewhat familiar with Hypercard. Even though, at the time, Hypercard was largely more powerful. Some of that was because the Web made it so much easier to share. But I don't think that's the whole story.

Fast forward 25 years, and the Web has become much more powerful, but the number of people making websites recreationally who don't also get paid to write software seems to have dropped precipitously.

> I have been using Firefox as my daily driver for 3+ years now. Haven't encountered a single case of sites working any worse than on Chrome.

Really? It happens to me all the time. I can't log into my U.S. Bank account in Firefox, I can't submit a delivery order on Doordash in Firefox, and (just this morning) I couldn't validate a credit reporting form in Firefox.

Now, despite those and many other examples, I continue to use Firefox as my primary browser, because Chrome has bigger issues in my opinion. I don't blame FF for this, I blame the websites. I just think it sucks that places do not test in or support Firefox better.

I don't know why Spotify removes Joe Rogan episodes, but keeps homophobic songs like "Where the hood at" (particularly relevant today) on the platform. Pretty sure that song is far worse than anything said on Rogan.

I guess that song is older than Rogan's podcast episodes, and music isn't usually as serious as a podcast. But still kinda funny they remove Joe Rogan episodes, but allows songs talking about how they won't be friend with gay people.

Still enjoy the song though.

I'd take no exception to either, but would object to "socialised medicine is perfect" if applied to any system that I'm aware of.
>I'm a grown adult, I can decide what I want to listen to - why are they getting in the way?

Just wait, someone will come around and inform you how deciding what you want to listen to is "whiteness", and you're "white supremacy adjacent" for not supporting the removal of this racist, transphobic hate speech that's violence against BIPOCs and minorities.
Good call-out, integration is a very strange beast.
>* So while, yes, the industry is set up to support a creative endeavor, that industry runs on a template that makes certain things possible and certain things very difficult. But brilliant producers and directors find ways around it.*

Totally agree, and IME that's par for the course for any creative endeavor that becomes profitable but unpredictable, whether its cinema, music, or software engineering. I meant more that the final product is judged on aesthetic qualities more so than in software, so the industry naturally allows for more creative expression at the highest levels of decision making.

We use something similar in some of the web crawlers in my company, we dynamically load the module that selects the data from a web page so that if something (website and/or requirement) changes we can just swap the module without downtime.
There's a another group - ephemeral online mobs - People not involved with the content at hand in any way, shape or form contribute to a reactionary admonition and I'm sure businesses just want to avoid the controversy altogether. I don't know about Rogan for instance, but Hulu removed 4 episodes of sunny because of racist caricatures. They certainly were racist but the joke was on the characters using the caricatures. It's a silly example but nuance be damned. I don't think Spotify thinks its censoring anything, they just don't want trouble.
Yeah true, I completely forgot about that angle. Google Glass was creepy and dumb, and some kind of eye contact camera would be worse.
I tried, but it just thinks I'm travelling. To get podcasts, you need a US credit card.
I keep chromium for Google meet exclusively. I got awful performance on Firefox... not that chrome is much better - but at least I can kill it after every meeting without losing other tabs.

The Statute of Anne is over 300 years old.
Why Did So Many Doctors Become Nazis?
Yeah, but as called out in the article, ISA (8257 style) DMA wasn't a good option either. And carving out address space came with its own set of problems, especially if you needed this to work on DOS (with maybe Windows on top)--which was pretty much the default at the time.

PCI made most of that go away with its introduction, hence me wondering what the replacement card was.
I think the division line is you see this as ideological, but to the rest of us it's all just business. Publishers will always be free to choose what they place on offer. On my bookshelf I have a copy of the old Linux Device Drivers book from O'Reilly. The book is no longer being published by them. Could it use an update? Yes, severely, the 3rd edition is over a decade old. Why hasn't it gotten one, is it censorship? No, they don't see a return on investment in it.

Spotify only cares about the episodes because of concern about injuring their brand via giving offense, which is as close to an ideology as any large corporation gets, to the point where folks (such as you, in this case) get offended by their clumsy attempts to avoid offense.

Rogan doesn't care because it's always been about money. He doubtless took a haircut on his audience by moving to Spotify, all in order to get money up front for less effort on his part.
You said "This comment is meant to be general." and then quoted and replied to things the commenter shared about themselves.
I think the converse—buttons are not links—doesn't get enough attention. The litmus test is that if clicking it is supposed to navigate, you should also be able to shift+click or middle-click to open it in a new tab, or drag it up to your toolbar to make a bookmark.
Depends. If you've also blocked ads with pi-hole or the Android hosts file Firefox and Chrome get closer. Ublock on Firefox is absolutely indespensible for sites that may be actively hostile like piracy or porn, but for casual browsing the UI of Chrome is a lot better.

For example, I prefer the address bar at the top. Firefox doesn't like that, so the new tab button stays on the bottom, meaning I have a six inch stretch between where my finger was to hit the tab manager and where it has to go to open a new tab. It's full of little things like that where the only explanation that comes to mind is that Mozilla decided they couldn't do it the best way because Chrome was already doing it that way.
I think the lesson here is not to believe some myth just because a nerd from the 90s wrote it down. Some guy said that the NE2k was never meant to be mass-produced and people have been repeating that for 30 years.

Drawing a very bright, very wide, strongly-enforced safety line well away from any potential hazard has value.

It also has harms: it decreases respect for rules that actually do make sense, and it can encourage people to substitute more dangerous activities. If Alice values taking a walk outside without a mask at 50, walking with a mask at 30, and going to a shopping mall (with a mask) at 40, strictly enforcing outdoor mask mandates is going to make her both less happy and more at risk.
"masks within n feet of others" is also simple, easily understood, and easily enforced (if any of the enforcers actually care to). it has the added benefit of respecting people's intelligence. requiring people to wear masks while alone in the middle of a park does not increase the average level of trust placed in official guidance.

I am a long-time listener, but I am highly selective. The majority of the removed episodes in this list are the type of episodes that I skip. If I am going to spend 3 hours, I like to spend it with guests of the caliber of Bryan Fogel, Moxie Marlinspike, et al. I feel JRE is at its best when Joe is sitting across from someone who is from a different planet.

Very enjoyable! I started working a few problems in my head, and realized I'd run out of scratch ram quickly.

I especially liked his points on examination, what we call the "orals" in Physics. There, the (in his words, defenseless) student is up in front of a board, while professors throw problems at them. I had a few good questions on mine, and one which was ... poorly specified. I remember thinking I simply had to crank on that problem, showing my thinking processes to try to answer the question. At the end, the prof nodded, pointed to something before my conclusion, and said "that was as far as I got."

I remember feeling relieved yet angry. Just smiled, nodded, thanked him for the question, and moved on.

The core team of Coq developers in France has mulled over this for years, but hasn't had enough momentum or interest to push for it. Right now the broader community of contributors and users, myself included, are arguing our points, suggesting name ideas, and attempting to drive some kind of consensus. My understanding is that the final decision will be democratic among users and contributors. Some are projecting weird politics onto this, but the conversation is otherwise proceeding quite civilly and constructively.

Almost all dissenters in the thread (possibly all of them, I don't remember) do not work for Inria, the research institute at which Coq is professionally developed. Though they are community members like me (I am lightly in favor of the change, and I am both a contributor and a user).

One of the most important things I think Kanban[1] emphasizes is that once you eliminate unnecessary bottlenecks, you're left with unavoidable bottlenecks, and this naturally means there will be slack. Explicitly expecting slack time is super useful to allow developers at all levels of seniority to do surprising and necessary things like this that would otherwise never be scheduled.

[1] not the project board shape, but the original process it's named after where you set a hard cap on work in progress in each stage to find out where bottlenecks are.

There's a reason why free societies are reluctant to put arbitrary orders in place. In society that values freedom, it simply feels too much like an authoritarian move. It rankles the populace. Such measures have always been about public education and not enforcement. Probably much greater compliance without the debate. There was no need for this to be politicized.
Thank you. I didn't even bother trying as I thought they just removed it.
I believe that spacefaring life is relatively rare in our neighbourhood to the point where it's entirely possible we're the only one.

As for signs of alien civilization being everywhere, here I have to respectfully disagree. I'll summarize why.

I firmly believe the likely future of humanity is not on planets but in orbitals. Planets are a great way of storing mass. They're a poor way of creating living area. I think the estimate is that 1% of the mass of Mercury could fully encompass the Sun in a Dyson Swarm of orbitals with no material stronger than stainless steel. I believe humanity will be capable of this within 1,000 years and that's super-conservative.

Objects in space that absorb Solar radiation heat up. The only way of releasing that is by radiating it away. That radiation is of a wavelength solely determined by the temperature of the object. For any reasonable temperatures, that's in the infrared spectrum.

So a Dyson Swarm will have a very particular spectrum. They'll be IR lanterns. Sure one star we may not see out of a whole galaxy but the barrier between doing this to one star to the whole galaxy is only a matter of a relatively short amount of time (cosmologically speaking). One million years for the Milky Way (out of 10B+ years).

There are a bunch of assumptions in this and each would be their own topic. But as a solution to the Fermi Paradox, it only takes one.

Recycling waste heat is a common objection but that just reduces your emissions, it doesn't eliminate them. If it did, that would break thermodynamics.

This argument is strengthened by this article: over time more mass is becoming unreachable. For truly long-lived civilizations it makes the most sense to grab as much mass as you can and sequester it. Again, it only takes one.
