You said Xorg is a network system twice and I don't think you did enough research once. Wherein client and server are local it doesn't doesn't communicate via the network stack. The problem you imagine exists only in your imagination not reality.

I don't care if xorg runs as root and I don't need to run an instance of xorg per application I simply install software from trusted sources and haven't managed to get malware between 2003 and now. I also didn't have issues with tearing in 2003 and I don't now.

Generally speaking QT and GTK and other toolkits must concern themselves with the details of X others concern themselves with QT or GTK as they would under wayland. It is extremely likely that all players in the overall ecosystem who never had to specifically worry about X in many years have had more issues, work, and tears from wayland development than they would have had for the remainder of the next century with X.

This is nearly entirely about presenting a saner stable base to improve the work for a tiny number of people actually developing the graphics stack in Linux to build upon and unfortunately they made poor design decisions at the start that have led to it taking 12 years and still not being ready for prime time in some ways.

After doing the necessary research to understand the topic you could construct another post about the shortcomings of X that is actually factually correct but it would still be beside the point. Wayland would still be a poor work that squandered a lot of the opportunity of a clean slate despite its authors being in perhaps the best position possible to do so. In 20 years Linux if it exists on the desktop will be a weird opaque overengineered system that works when it works and is impossible for an end user to understand why it is misbehaving when it doesn't.

On the bright side due to package management the windows solution of pave over the install and start over could probably be configured to automatically reinstall all your software for you!
The big question is, what's the reward? Magicians need to do tricks to eat. But what's the incentive to pulling off the impossible, as opposed to being a workaday employee, at the employer where the impossible was pulled off?

I don't mean to imply there is no incentive, I'm saying - what is it? If it's there and it justifies the effort, great. If not, you might as well be doing magic tricks at a party.

Now, some people like to be the fun guy at a party who can pull a quarter from behind your ear. If that's a fitting reward for you, then great! For me, that, or being able to write a blog post such as this one, would be a bit thin to justify it.
> How did you like the book?” asked a friend who recommended it. “I loved it! It was a real page-turner!”, I answered. “Great! What do you think about ________ and _________ ? How did you like those parts?”. I’ll be honest. I literally had no clue what he was talking about. Are we talking about the same book? Sapiens? It sounded like it for sure. But I have no recollection of even reading that. WTF?

This happens to me all the time, and in my opinion there’s nothing wrong about it. All I care about is to enjoy what I’m reading at the moment. Whether or not I remember later on what I have read is of little importance to me (unless of course we are talking about reading for passing an exam or something like that).
Thanks for the link! This was definitely interesting to dig into. It looks like the farms' claim for carbon offset is sequestration. I don't doubt that they do this, but sequestration is only able to store a maximum of 20-60% of carbon emitted, with most studies placing it around 20% (see my source in the other comment thread, and also https://science.sciencemag.org/content/360/6392/987). Given the inefficiency of animal protein and the lack of independent data pointing to this style of farming being eco-neutral, polyface's claims read more to me like marketing copy than evidence of being carbon-neutral.

Polyface seems to have a few other issues, such as using the same breeds of meat (broiler) chickens as used in factory farms. I need to dig into more data on this particularly, but their chicken farming doesn't seem to meet sustainability standards.

He also feeds his animals grain grown from outside the farm, meaning that this doesn't make sense as a "closed loop" sustainable system, even ignoring the other concerns.

[Note: this is not intended to come off as overly negative, I'm just attempting to analyze what I see as shortcomings in this example. After looking more into it, I would still classify this as ecologically net negative, and less sustainable than a plant-based diet based on the GHG emissions of the animals. If you have further data to provide on this example though, I would definitely be willing to revise my position.]

Your conclusion paragraph seems a bit pessimistic, given the reality of how much food we currently produce — "According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the world produces more than 1 1/2 times enough food to feed everyone on the planet. That’s already enough to feed 10 billion people, the world’s 2050 projected population peak... the bulk of industrially produced grain crops (most yield reduction in the study was found in grains) goes to biofuels and conﬁned animal feedlots rather than food for the one billion hungry." from https://www.researchgate.net/publication/241746569_We_Alread...

So it seems to me as though reducing or eliminating animal solves the problems you bring up: to have the same amount of food available to humans, we'd need to farm less crops, which means we could e.g. start switching to lower-yield organic farming without compromising human nutrition, and diversifying a lot of current corn/wheat/pasture land into more nutrient dense vegetables.

Theoretically, a plant-based agricultural system taking compost and natural land replenishment from wild (native) animals & plants as inputs and producing a variety of plant foods as outputs would be lower GHG emissions, lower pesticide use, lower soil erosion, all while supplying a higher number of people food.

What am I missing?
Whether a person should have known better or not doesn't change the fact that these bad people shouldn't be doing these bad things.

I don't know why or how it got fashionable to dismiss someone having something terrible done to them by saying "they should have known better" but every single time it's bullshit.

I have a feeling it's a thought terminating cliche to help out of the state where you know something terrible happened to this person, and there is nothing you can do about it.
Dual booting is for chumps. If I could run a base Linux system and arbitrarily run fully hardware accelerated VMs of multiple Linux distros, BSDs and Windows, I'd be all over that. I could pretend here that I really need the ability to quickly switch between OSes, that I'd like VM-based snapshots, or that I have big use cases to multiplex the hardware power in my desktop box like that. I really don't need it. I just want it.

I really hope Intel sees this as an opportunity for their DG2 graphics cards due out later this year.

If anyone from Intel is reading this: if you guys want to carve out a niche for yourself, and have power users advocate for your hardware - this is it. Enable SR-IOV for your upcoming Xe DG2 GPU line just as you do for your Xe integrated graphics. Just observe the lengths that people go to for their Nvidia cards, injecting code into their proprietary drivers just to run this. You can make this a champion feature just by not disabling something your hardware can already do. Add some driver support for it in the mix and you'll have an instant enthusiast fanbase for years to come.

No. Obviously my point is that a system where candidates running for office can openly BUY votes is problematic. The problem is not the voters, it's the candidates, and the system itself.

I am not the person who wrote that comment above, but they did not say "90% of soy" -- they said "90% of that soy", referring to soy grown in areas of tropical deforestation.

I have no clue if the assertion is correct.

Edit: FWIW, it appears that US soy is mostly used for livestock:

> Just over 70 percent of the soybeans grown in the United States are used for animal feed

https://www.usda.gov/sites/default/files/documents/coexisten...

And globally, even a higher percentage:

> About 85 percent of the world’s soybean crop is processed into meal and vegetable oil, and virtually all of that meal is used in animal feed.

And, honestly, the recommendations that various governments actually made were things like handwashing, use of hand sanitizer, cleaning surfaces that multiple people are touching, etc.--none of which seem unreasonable even at this point. The "overzealous" cleaning that some people were doing was mostly not the response to government guidelines.
Personally I don't like facing the work to take something from 80-100% - I envision the potential work and I can see it laid before me, extending beyond the horizon. And sometimes that work doesn't even lead to a certain success.

I realize that more often than not it would likely lead to improvements and a better state of the world. But it can feel overwhelming at times. Whereas working on a shinier smaller thing brings feelings of gratification that much easier and faster.
Your example creates an asymmetry where there isn't necessarily one.

To make the situations comparable, if you're adding something, you should have to convince the N people that there are no better things to add. The same as your suggestion that they would need to accept that the removal of a particular thing is preferable to all other possible things that could be removed.

In fact, it seems easier to remove something since there are only the things that people have already agreed on. To add something it could be compared to a world of possibilities which might be better.
I don't think Qt has ever pretended to look native. I remember using KDE back in the early 2000s and most Qt apps that didn't explicitly integrate with KDE didn't look "native" either. The other desktop OSes are not even internally consistent -- look at Windows's "settings" vs. "control panel". Which one is native? The answer is they both are, sort of, but there are simply two UI kits bundled with the OS. One is deprecated, the other isn't ready yet. Qt is not going to solve that problem for you.

(I'll also point out that even if you have a Win32ChatWidget in the library, that doesn't many anyone is going to use it. Zoom simply did a bad job implementing chat, which is why it's so bad. The UI toolkit library is neither the problem nor the solution. Caring about making chat good is the solution.)
And my question was _why_ this would affect women more than men.

This is honestly one of the first time I'm convinced in a technical sense to consider Firefox over Chrome. uBlock Origin feels as core to me to web browsing as Saved Passwords and Incognito Mode. That uBlock Origin can work better is like the browser itself being better.

If you don’t feel like working then just commit yourself to the smallest thing possible. Commit yourself to something really small such as opening up your IDE just take a quick one minute look at a class you wrote.

If your not inspired then leave it.

You’ll maybe even call it a day then, but often your brain will kick in at at least start mulling it over in the background.

And sometimes you will get absorbed and carry on well after the one minute has passed.

Just commit to something small and see what happens.
I had a ton of issues with QT menus until the latest patches from KDE hit Arch's QT packages. Fixed them
I just don't hear sound when I read (in any language) so tools the poet uses such as meter, assonance etc are lost on me. Of course I can carefully read for sound but then I'm so busy doing that that I lose the thread of meaning.

I can listen to poetry and musical lyrics, and there cadence and phonemic clues help with memory and recognition and can even be playful or fun (as intended!). I've never grokked how one could read that way though clearly many, and perhaps most, people do!

> Unlike American Wonder Bread, German bread is baked fresh and comes in a variety of flavors besides "white".

It probably goes without saying but packaged preservative-laden German bread also exists, as does fresh-baked American bread from bakeries. The popularity of each is just very different which is what makes the difference. Somewhat ironically, some bakeries in Europe now claim to use sourdough cultures from SF, and especially in the options available it seems like both countries have moved a bit closer to each other though they're definitely still quite different in this respect.

Unfortunately that's the price you pay to use most devices - they need accompanying proprietary software. There doesn't seem to be a big enough market for open-standard or open-protocol health/fitness tracking.
It's a good question. i.e. if it takes a year to fix all bugs then why does order matter?

The factor he did not mention is that there are unnamed people who see certain bugs and when they see those bugs, they judge the quality of the software to be poor.

Thus, for human reasons you must fix certain bugs first because it makes certain people feel that the software quality is not poor.

OR because certain bugs prevent the system actually doing what it is meant to do .... thus the bugs that result in the system failing to serve its purpose must be done first.

This could be way more practically useful than GPU passthrough. GPU passthrough demands at least two GPUs (an integrated one counts), requires at least two monitors (or two video inputs on one monitor), and in my experience has a tendency to do wonky things when the guest shuts off, since the firmware doesn't seem to like soft resets without the power being cycled. It also requires some CPU and PCIe controller settings not always present to run safely.

This could allow a single GPU with a single video output to be used to run games in a Windows VM, without all the hoops that GPU passthrough entails. I'd definitely be excited for it!
Noting that you can use form="my-id" to have the fields outside the form tag, though that might be the complications you mentioned.
I always build things I want badly enough to wake up early, to dislike stopping to sleep. But, they are things I believe will benefit others. That doubles the urge to keep working.
For me it's that 1) most people won't even care and 2) someone is going to ruin it anyway, eventually.

I've observed a cognitive dissonance that I can't quite put my finger on. You'll work with (and for) people who have an extreme admiration for Apple products because of the attention to detail and quality. And yet they are perfectly fine churning out terrible technology products in order to make a buck. Often times just little attention to detail can make a huge difference; you don't need to be a zealot about it.

Loosely related: I've found that I've made the most money while working with bad teams on terrible technology products. And I've made the least money working with great teams on great products. I really hate that.
Venture funding in the US hit a record $64b in the first quarter
Desktop linux actually worked pretty well in 2003 for my purposes. I started on Fedora Core 1. I burned a dvd hit the magic key to select a boot target booted it up told the installer what time zone I was in and what disks it could use and such details and rebooted after a while.

Wine sucked and there was less software existed but it was perfectly possible to do the normal tasks one did with a computer.

> UBI-with-a-flat-tax gives a very nice curve

It gives a family of curves, and as you say you have a knob you can turn...

I don't have a strong opinion about exactly what shape the curve should have, but I do have a strong opinion that it's probably important and I've noticed a tendency (first in myself!) for UBI proponents to be satisfied having checked the "it's a progressive curve" box without having looked carefully at whether it can produce the particular progressive curve we (more broadly) want.

Edited to add: I suppose if we do find that we need people to be taking home marginally more for the first N dollars earned, we could add a rebate based on reported income. Small fraud ("I reported a little more than I actually made") winds up pretty bounded in the amount it can walk off with; larger fraud ("I invented 500 people who are reporting income") isn't that much bigger a concern than it would already be with a UBI since the maximum rebate is probably much smaller than the stipend that would otherwise be expected. Note that I'm not calling for this, just exploring the space.
And VGPUS are isolated from one another, that's the whole point-so using multiple in one application would be very difficult, as I don't think they can share data/memory in any way.
Certainly, but this requires both BIOS/UEFI fiddling and it also means you can't use both Windows and Linux at the same time, which is very important for me.

Lol. If someone doesn't want to be executing random unverified binaries fetched from arbitrary online locations, then they shouldn't write such things in their build scripts.
