Hi, never said they had to be within the sub-genera.

Recombination can absolutely happen inter-genera and even inter-family.

There's some evidence that Ebola got its VP40 from bats, or vice versa. Meaning that an RNA virus somehow got its nuclear regulatory factor from a bat. We have no idea in science how that happened. But we know there is homology! I can't find the link at the moment, but when I do I'll add it here. It's not actually that important to my argument.

There are also examples of inter-family recombination in viruses that are much more down to earth.

See here: https://www.virology.ws/2016/10/27/genome-recombination-acro...

And you might be asking yourself, after reading that link "Why is it always bats?? Isn't that /suspicious/?" It's actually in keeping with everything we know about bats and their role as a viral reservoir. Lots of viruses cross paths in bats. See this other detailed post I wrote a while back: https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/gehvui/why_do_viru...
> Fractional scaling has to be done by the application itself (even on Wayland).

No, fractional is handled by applications just rendering at 2x and getting downscaled to 1.5x or whatever.

Yeah, the "Windows" way looks sharper on fractional, but the "Apple" downscaling is easier to handle and it looks fine – there were iPhones that did everything like that.

> DDX drivers can make use of vendor specific 2D acceleration

Ah, I remember Intel's various native 2D accelerations (UXA, SNA) – each with its own unique horrific bugs (artifacts all over the screen, all text turning into junk), all eventually sorta deprecated in favor of glamor (OpenGL) with the generic modesetting driver.

There's not much to 2D accelerate with modern applications that all do their own rendering. Compositing acceleration is possible in a vendor-agnostic way via KMS planes and we'll have that in wlroots.

> Ever used OS X on those? They are barely usable because of severe lag and stuttering.

I have an iBook G4 :) Leopard runs perfectly smoothly. Yeah, the very first generation of hardware when OS X was just introduced wasn't ready. The next one was.
The megacorps are forced to file many patents for defensive purposes, either for protection against each other or the NPEs. Technical bulletins, disclosures, and scientific publications showing the obviousness of ridiculous NPE patents just don't seem to be enough. The juries must be receiving bad info on what to do.
Oh wow. Had no idea and I was explicitly planning my next server to be Intel because of the GVT-g. Why did they abandon it?
You’re missing the point of the article entirely.

The author argues to NOT use fake anchor tags like <a href="#"> and then add functionality to it via JavaScript. Instead you should use <button type="button">.

Either way, JavaScript is required.

What you’re suggesting means your link is actually a link to another page, which works without JavaScript and that’s not the point of the article.
Yes. e.g. the California High Speed Rail is a partisan issue in California politics, and generally Republicans are suspicious of commuter and high-speed rail as wasteful environmentalism.

Just a note: It is due to libinput, which as far as I know can be used with X as well, but I haven’t personally done so.
>Which is why it's so utterly toxic that corporate America runs on an interrupt driven system, with meetings sprinkled carelessly across engineer calendars.

As a person who’s worked in both american and european big companies... I can tell it’s not an american illness only and I have heard the same from asian friends. Best I got was one or two meeting-free days (at least on paper, in reality these would be ignored as well). I just got used to these things.
Interesting, though I would argue that Florida may be a better comparison than the Midwest.

In high school in the late 90's, I somehow learned that Asteroids was a vector display, and then went about writing a clone in Pascal that used a vector-based backend and rendered to the pixelly display. This ended up giving me an early introduction to a good number of linear algebra ideas...

Indeed. People on the right wing are saying that Biden’s new infrastructure bill is nearly all pork because only 5% is dedicated to roads. Really only roads and dams count.
A very good use of massive infrastructure spending along this line would also be building proper regional rail. Electrifying and improving what we typically call “commuter rail” in the US into modern, faster and comfortable all day service. Overhead 25kv. Modern European style EMUs. This forms the backbone of transit in major regions and can be connected by new HSR lines over time, making HSR more effective.

Caltrain electrification is an attempt at this in a very small scope but really shows just how slow and terrible we are at this kind of thing. And again thanks to CAHSRs not invented here attitude stuck with weird decisions like needing to support the worlds highest platform height. (I’m only barely surprised CAHSR didn’t decide to invent a new track gauge.)
This answer addresses the letter of jdc's musing, but not the gist. The code that you've supplied may be "safe", but the issue is that there's no way to constrain pointer arithmetic such that the result always points at a valid location which can withstand dereferencing.
This is, in fact, an existing product category: the one I'm most familiar with is https://www.beeminder.com/, but it's got a few competitors.

I don’t know how you work, but my schedule of meeting, work, meeting, work definitely feels like the meetings are interruptions.

Especially since they don’t add any value, but that’s arguably a different problem.
Per mile isn't really that good a measure for either flying or driving, because the risk of both flying and driving depends on where the miles are.

For driving, the risk is much higher in cities on surface streets than it is on freeways between cities, for example. So a 10 mile round trip to the grocery store and back would probably be orders of magnitude more dangerous per mile than an 800 mile round trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco and back.

But your chances of dying on the grocery store trip and your chances of dying at one of the ends of your LA/SF trip would be roughly the same.

Same with flying. Takeoff, climbing to cruising altitude, cruising, descending for landing, and landing all have different risk profiles. A long trip is much safer per mile than a short trip because most of it is spent cruising at high altitude which is the safest part of the trip, but the overall risk is usually going to be higher on the long trip.

Driving is further complicated because you have a lot more control over your safety when driving than you do when flying. When I've flown from LA to SF, it was probably about the same risk no matter what time of day I went.

When I've driven from LA to SF, I've generally been able to pick times of day when there was little traffic at the ends, and there were generally no other cars within a couple miles of me on the freeway. That should have put my risk way below the average driving risk. (Note: I am not claiming that I am a more skilled or safer driver than average!).

It was still probably more risky than flying, but not orders of magnitude more risky.
It sounds to me like they might be creating the response from scratch rather than modifying an existing one. And since they’re talking about serving data from s3, maybe it’s just a nicely formatted version of aws s3 ls?
<button> is not commonly mis-used as a link. I do agree that <div onclick="goTo('/contacts')"> and its equivalents are too damn common and just show complete lack of knowledge of the platform. <a> is the core element of the World Wide Web, without which there wouldn’t be a web.
Blackberry thought the same with BBM, and it is somewhat true – until it isn't. Ultimately what keeps users locked in is how much they like the phone, not the messaging app they are forced to use. I doubt there are many iPhone users who don't also have one of WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Signal etc. installed.
In similar news, I continue to ignore podcasts on spotify. This mixing of purpose is harmful to the service in the long term. I wish nothing except failure for spotify podcasts.
You tie it to something strategic, even if it the relationship is loose.

The protocol had been in development for that long, most compositors for a few years, and clients change their implementation up to their own schedule.

I see it as a “failing” of the bazaar way of development, linux can’t just say we now use this API. So there is an inherent not enough user on the new API to bother porting, and due to not enough user it is not as streamlined/stable, and you have a vicious circle. But I have to say the issues with wayland are heavily overstated, and I think it is out of this cycle, and is getting quite a bit of steam.
Alibaba fined $2.8Bn USD for forcing platform exclusivity
Are people going to start protesting on my lawn now that I'm in the 1%?
It only requires 2 GPUs if you plan on using Linux GUI applications as you game on Windows. Besides, any shared single GPU solution is going to introduce performance overhead and display latency, both of which are undesired for gaming. Great for non-gaming things though - but generally you don't need Windows for those anyways.
There is a big difference between decoding covert and even "imagined speech" and decoding "thoughts". In covert/imagined speech decoding, the user actually tries very hard to imagine the action of speaking and moving the corresponding vocal articulators, without actually doing it. This is similar to mental motor rehearsal done in sports training.

It works because there is direct correlation between the speech-motor cortex and how the vocal articulators (larynx, tongue, etc) move, and how that combine to produce speech.

Abstract "thoughts", on the other hand, are not so straight-forward. For one, there's no central location in the cortex where the concept of "car", for example, lives. The distributed representation of abstract thoughts within the brain makes it orders of magnitude more difficult than decoding speech for one specific individual. Then add orders of magnitude of orders of magnitude to generalize that to different people.

> I can stop paying money to those that host content with Alex Jones (and indirectly basically pay Alex Jones)

If you won’t use a service that lets you make custom playlists just because they also serve stuff that you don’t like to other people, and others do that, we’re going to only have terrible content.

Will you not shop at a bookstore that sells Alex Jones books?

Will you not ride on a bus that allows Alex Jones?

If people expect this level of micromanagement of content platforms then we’re doomed to only have content so boring that no one complains about it.

Shows how protocols are more important than platforms.
We do: we've identified this is the most important bug; work it till its "done" so we can't task-shift that work till its done. No daily (or less) priority shift.
So you do care since only links follow your browsers’ behavior. Nothing else can be right-clicked to show “Copy link address” in the dropdown for example.

The golden rule is that if a button opens a link to a page that has its own URL, it should be a plain anchor tag.

You can apply whatever JavaScript on top of it to “ajaxify” it, as long as you ignore altered clicks (ctrl, cmd, shift, etc)

I wish the US had gone harder on telling people to get quality masks. Personally I use only n95 from US manufacturers that have a tight seal around my face. I understand before that there were supply constraints, but also there are better fabrics than just cotton that are widely available such as chiffon, which block/filter a ton more than cotton and is widely available.
okay, now imagine that COVID-19 is just a global invasion training
This is really what it takes to make a quality product. It's not only being able to focus long enough to get the job done, but also having co-workers that also value quality and focus. I get so annoyed with co-workers who don't value quality. Everything has to be done yesterday, quick and dirty, with little to no care involved. And for what? To move on to upper management's other random idea that probably isn't great?

I desperately wish there was more of an emphasis on the simplicity of quality work in America. That doesn't mean spend years and years making something no one wants. That means making a product that is simple, effective, and elegant. Unfortunately, simplicity is actually harder to figure out than complexity. Adding is easier than subtracting.

I think of software as art. And sometimes it takes an excruciating amount of time and effort to pay attention to the details, stomp out the bugs, and create that beautiful work of art. There are plenty of companies that do value quality, focus, and attention to detail. But far too often, it's about making a quick buck rather than thinking long term about making software that will last years on end.
Where does the money come from? What would the unskilled labor produce?
Ok, if I understand correctly based on this and your original comment, you make two claims.

1. This was an "obvious eventuality"

2. This does not constitute mistreatment of Rogan by Spotify.

First, many of the episodes such as the Milo Yiannopoulos one predate the Spotify deal. Spotify knew what they were buying and should have said at the time what they were and were not willing to host. Only Spotify and and Rogan know for sure the details of what was in their contract, but from what Rogan has said on the show, they had agreed that Spotify would have no creative control and they would host the whole catalog. I doubt very, very much that anyone would engage in a 9-figure contract without spelling out these details. If Spotify has decided to renege on what they agreed to, I think that makes it both non-obvious that that would happen and mistreatment (they are not honoring the contract).

Whenever these controversies arise, if Rogan mentions them on the show at all he says that nobody from Spotify says anything to him about them and he gets no feedback from them at all about the content, since they aren't supposed to have any creative control over the show. Maybe he's lying, but if not, I think that would also be non-obvious and mistreatment if Spotify is telling Rogan there's no problem and then taking content down behind his back.

And just...I don't understand this attitude. "Well of course people will make baseless accusations, and you'll be punished because of them without anyone trying to figure out the facts! You know this will happen, so it's not a problem!" Like....yes, that's a problem.

"Of course you get sent to the gulag if someone accuses you of criticizing Stalin. You know it doesn't matter if it's true or not! You know all this, so it's not mistreatment! It's just an obvious eventuality!"

Also, important to say, if the virus emerged outside of Wuhan, nowhere near a lab, then this entire hypothesis falls apart because the only thing supporting it is the geographic proximity of Wuhan and the WIV.

Re: using nix in place of ansible/chef/puppet/salt etc.

One of things that makes it far superior to these solutions, is that while many of them try to be declarative it still an iterative hack to emulate it.

For example if you use your CM to install a package on the system, or create a file in /etc. If you remove that statement the file or package will still be there.

In NixOS it will be as if it was never there. The reason for it is that the existing CM work by modifying current OS, while NixOS rebuilds the entire OS every time you make a change (thanks to cacheing that operation doesn't take as long as it would normally do).

As for using things in production, I generally like things that are well established. So it took many years before I got the courage to propose it, but frankly I don't think it ever let me down. As I used it always act predictable, both the NixOS as well as build (as long as you pin down nixpkgs).

The only thing to worry about is if the outside environment demands a change you better know how to do it. For example application works fine, suddenly you have higher traffic and things are crapping out and maybe you need to change some settings or there was a bug in one of your dependency and a new version isn't in nixpkgs. You better know how to do those things.
Circa the late 1990s, there used to be not just this shade in the source, but a message that would be printed in the logs if a 3c501 were used. It read something like:

Sure you can find specific examples, but thankfully the US still has some semblance of celebrating free speech.

And your examples of silence seem fuzzy. Who was trying to “silence” (suppress speech) of South Africa? Suppress their racist political system? Sure, but I don’t recall anyone saying they can’t talk.

> Not a single hospital has overflowed

Very many hospitals, and often entire counties and even wider regions, fully exhausted ICU or other key capacities and had to refuse patients. You can probably construct a definition for “overflowed” for which this is true, but not which would have any utility in proving governmemt was wrong.

> Wheres the hundreds of millions of dead that were predicted?

No one predicted anything like that except as a potential in the absence of any behavioral changes. Even the places like much of the US that has weak, inconsistent, or unenforced “lockdowns” saw some government interventions and signidicant, if sometimes largely non-compelled, behavioral changes.

> Why did more people die of car accidents in 2019 than under 55 age group corona fatalities(80% of the population)?

Again, because even the places like much of the US that has weak, inconsistent, or unenforced “lockdowns” saw some government interventions and significant, if sometimes largely non-compelled, behavioral changes.

> I can take them off while eating but have to wear them while walking 8 feet to the table, what?

This is a dumb complaint. Its minimizing avoidable exposure potential. Distancing is more enforceable while seated and eating, but its impossible to wear a mask and eat. Distancing is less enforceable while moving about, but its quite possible to wear a mask.

How does it harm the ecosystem to place the fundamental abstraction of the goddamn DISPLAY server over something that actually was created after GPUs was a thing?

The X server is maxed out, or as a core maintainer said, you can only apply this many lipstick to a pig. It is fundamentally broken. But the X api is not, it will be supported forever in terms of XWayland. Which is a net win, we get proper graphics, and apps will be backward compatible.
