That isn't remotely the case. Plenty of experimental / one-vendor features have been released and later received wider adoption without fundamentally breaking the user's experience.

I.e. before we had indexeddb, there was websql. The whole PWA slew of features (I.e. service workers) can and are used without breaking user experience.

There can be bad implementations too- youtube's awful performance due to their early version of the web component spec comes to mind- but these features arent really akin to the olden days of ActivX / IE dominance, since they are single purpose and not opening up an entire foreign interface.

In aggregate, sure; its somewhere between 5th-8th by per capita GDP, which is the more relevant comparison, depending on source.

But the UK isn’t even close to the US, or particularly near the top in Western Europe (which yas countries ahead of the US.)

In all fairness, my experience is that most of the issues are in the broader ecosystem at this point.

Wayland, itself, is just a protocol. The display servers are just the display servers. But then you have Gtk and Gnome, Qt and KDE, software like Firefox and Chrome, etc. All of those have to updated as well, and while Wayland the protocol, the display servers, and a lot of the suite of infrastructure around it is in pretty good shape, the toolkits and clients and so forth all still need a lot of work.

And you only need to look at the Python 3 transition to see how hard it is to shift a whole ecosystem.

So I'm willing to cut the Wayland guys some slack. But it does mean there's still a ways to go, yet, before things are ready for prime time.
Imported modules are compiled to bytecode and frozen on import, so changing the code in-place won't change what actually get run when the code is called unless you clear the bytecode cache and re-import.

importlib provide a reload method for this purpose: https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/importlib.html#importlib...

> I liken it to online shopping. Online shopping today is much more trustworthy than 15 years ago.

I'm not sure this is the case. I find it harder to avoid scams these days because some of the sites I used to trust went out of business because they couldn't compete with Amazon. But now Amazon is full of nearly impossible to spot fakes and sellers who flat out lie, and their system makes it hard to track who is who.

YouTube’s Assault on Covid Accountability
Furin cleavage sites very similar if not largely identical to this one have also been found in nature, and have been generated in nature in very short spans of time (on the order of a few decades, which is what is suspected to have happened with SARS-CoV-2).

I describe the evidence in detail in this detailed longform post I wrote on reddit a few months back: Hi, I have a PhD in virology focused on emerging viruses, and a few months back I wrote a very lengthy and involved piece full of sources.

The total tax burden in the US (federal, state, local; income, sales, property) is closer to 50%, and most to all of the 22% would be in replacement of existing programs.

(Half the funding for many of the existing programs don't even show up in the federal budget, even though they're federal programs, because the feds condition the program on the state government providing matching funds, but the state's taxpayers don't get any refund of their federal taxes if the state doesn't implement the program. So the states are coerced into funding inefficient programs, and those would go away.)

> Most employers will allow changing teams/managers internally.

So? It's totally at the employer's discretion, and there are a million other things that are non-negotiable.

> It isn't a double standard. A closed union shop is clearly different, because it is not the employer's choice/will, but rather a legal binding. In the absence of such a binding, there wouldn't be any closed union shops. There is no legal binding on employers to assign managers to employees. It is an employer's choice/will/culture.

Do you oppose all labor law? If it's "the employer's choice/will" to employ young children in dangerous conditions, do you oppose the "legal binding" prevents them from doing that?

> In a closed union shop, the worker who doesn't want to deal with the union isn't happy, and the employer isn't happy either. Both, the worker and the employer cannot do anything to change that. In your "forced management" example, it is just you who are unhappy, and you can try to make changes in your existing workplace with the possibility of some success, or find a new workplace.

That's not actually true. If the worker's unhappy, they can work with their coworkers to decertify the union. However, if their coworkers are happy with it, then maybe that guy should just get another job. It's not like union shops are pervasive and unavoidable. They're actually pretty rare these days.
Reply to the sibling comment comparing to insurance of MS SWE. While the absolute values are comparable, $1500 is quite a bit more of an inconvenience at a warehouser worker pay level than at a SWE salary level.

Given the physical nature of the work, I'd consider them more enlightened if they provided a lower deductible at the $0 premium level for every warehouse worker across the board. I'm really getting tired of places treating the long term mental and physical health of workers as an unpriced externality that's later paid for by society.

Also, thanks to motardo for the data point. (I will assume you're an actual warehouse worker.)

Cool, I've heard good things about USDS. My understanding from Estonia is that really the challenge here isn't technical (e.g. the tech exists and just needs to be implemented) and what is really needed is legislative changes but I certainly don't think it hurts to have advocates in influential agencies in apolitical role. I recently moved to DC and am trying to do some networking and figuring out how I can influence some of these topics. If you're considering USDS I recommend also looking at Techcongress and Presidential Innovation Fellows

There's zero theory on the following page:

https://pijul.org/manual/why_pijul.html

There are many answers:

1. Commutation makes your life easier because you can be much less careful about how you manage your branches. Rebase, merge and commit are the same operation (apply a patch), without any loss of power: you can simulate all of Git within Pijul, except for bad (i.e. silent non-associative merges), which Pijul doesn't have.

2. Everything is easily reversible. I know all actions in Git are reversible in some way, but not in the same way: for example, you can't undo an old patch without changing the identity of all the patches after it. I know you're thinking this is important for strong version identifiers, but Pijul also has strong version identifiers, just without the compromise on usability. This is achieved using cool cryptography tricks.

3. Solving a conflict in Pijul actually solves it. Conflicts happen between two (or more) patches, and are solved by a patch: if the same two patches are on another branch, you are guaranteed to get the exact same conflict in 100% of cases, and that conflict is solved by the very same patch that solved it in the first branch.

4. When merging, Git solves an optimisation problem that may have multiple solutions in some cases. Git chooses one arbitrary solution based on the content of the lines, and doesn't warn you if there are others (because that would be a very hard computational problem). Pijul doesn't do that, and gives you strong guarantees on merges. You still have to test, but when reviewing, you can predict in your head, with 100% accuracy, how Pijul will merge. This isn't the case in Git: lines inserted at the end of a file might be merged into unrelated lines at the beginning of a file sometimes, if Git feels like it.
It's complicated. When you're the only game in town you enter an ethical gray area where the community is your hostage. Things seem alright now but what happens when the mines run dry?

As a happy Openbox user, I'm planning on trying Waybox first I think. Waiting for the next Debian release though.
How convenient. I bought an 6700XT (overpriced, crappy, and not yet supported) a couple weeks ago as soon as they were released. Having used Nvidia for Linux, I thought AMD would play much nicer. That was far from true, but maybe because the 6700XT is yet to be fully supported in the kernel.

That being said, I'm now enjoying wayland. Gnome apps already supports wayland natively. The rendering is smooth, no tearing and no issues. I think the transition to Wayland will be faster than many here are predicting.

The only legal difference between an MLM and a Ponzi scheme is that the MLM has a product. It might be closer to the truth to say startups bear a large resemblance to MLMs.

There are a lot of anti-MLM people who think they should just be called Ponzi schemes. I'm on the fence about the terminology, but I think both should be illegal at any rate.
Ask HN: What's your outdoor work setup
Since the pandemic, I've been working outside a lot more, which I really enjoy. I'll take my laptop and just work on the porch or in the backyard. One problem I've noticed though is that the light is killing me. Something about the difference from the daylight and the screen led is really straining for my eyes. I was thinking about buying a e-ink monitor and attaching it to my laptop, but I'm curious what are other people are doing with their outdoor setups?
My feelings aren't hurt, I've collected a datapoint on the prevalence of kinda-naive super-fans in the nix community for the low price of three Internet points.
Meet performs quite poorly with large number of participants (the tipping point being around 10 or so for me) in a meeting. I tried various browsers and found Chrome to be the worst performer and surprisely Firefox was somewhat better but still needed a refresh every now and then. Macos on a 2017 MacBook. This is one of many reasons keeping my $employer on Zoom. We just haven't found a decent video conferencing software that manages 25+ videos flawlessly. I know of colleagues using Teams successfully but many people we meet with outside our organisation expects Zoom nowdays. I suspect any alternative will have to be very good to take over Zoom as the preferred platform. That has yet to appear.
In addition, during the beta, there are only so many satellites (see https://satellitemap.space), and because of that, I don't think they have the bandwidth to cover every 'cell' of coverage, so they target certain areas to make sure those areas have a satellite for the majority of a day.

The further south you go, the less coverage there is at any given moment (due to the rotation of earth and the orbits of the current fleet of satellites), so they can't just let dishes be assigned anywhere, they have to pick areas.
VERY VERY importantly, the cables were not written by or authored by scientists. It was all Trump State Department-hired businessmen and diplomats who inspected the facility and wrote that cable.

Why should we expect them to be good at determining what is a dangerous or risky lab facility?

Notably, in the same cable, they also requested more funding be sent to the facility, so they could conduct more pandemic surveillance work (and possibly prevent outbreaks like this).
It's one story of many posted on Hacker News for your consideration. You have the option of voting up, down and/or leaving a comment. No one is asking you to care about DMX. Your comment and belief that someone is asking you to care about DMX indicates to me that you would score high on a self-centeredness scale and low on an empathy scale.

Ask HN: The Great Programmer M-F Reset (with non-scientific moon claims)
There's a lot of evidence that we humans are "out of sync" with the planet. This code:

https://github.com/Pardus-Kurumsal/go-dlib/blob/88a3ebf10fe8014a37fa375f96d91db9495ccd48/calendar/lunar/lunar.go

And there are many other ways to track the moon, but here's the next great thing us programmers could do to help the world like we did with zoom and the remote work revolution.

I mean sure, covid played a part too, but really who's been trying to disrupt that formal dress IBM white shirt M-F schedule and code when we feel like it, wearing what we like...

We got rid of the white shirt and the hours and even the location, what's left? M-F.

We're completely out of sync with the moon people. It's so _obvious_ like a sysop looking at the entire system we call civilization and seeing this bug. Oh, silly humans, just make your weekends on every new moon and full moon, that's it.

I say "with non-scientific moon claims" in this post because I didn't want any down votes for people that want to debate if this has science behind it.

I just want programmers to slowly make app after app of this new calendar system for busy working professionals and slowly demand our new wearwolf schedules.

You don't need unions for that, just legislation. In Ireland, you are essentially at-will for the first six months of any role, and after that you are "permanent".

This essentially means that there needs to be a process to fire you. You need to supply at least one verbal warning on stated grounds (backed up as a written), then another one and then you can fire someone.

It works reasonably well (not always, obviously) and it's super bizarre to me that you don't have that in the US. To be honest, when my previous employer wanted to move me to the US, this was one of my concerns, especially when you're dependent on the job for a visa.

It just seems that its a bad trade-off for US people in general, and it's odd to me that it appears to be mostly unquestioned.
Are you asking why people who have run out of money might turn to stealing? Even if you are trying to be nonviolent a life of crime is hard and eventually you'll find yourself in a situation where you have to use violence because there is nothing else to turn to. You certainly can't go to the cops.
If you had a 10% return one year and a 90% return the next, for an average of 50%, your total principal would increase by 1.1 * 1.9 = 2.09. If you calculate by the average instead (1.5 * 1.5 = 2.25) the rate of return is higher, and that error may have compounded in your calculation.
> The best outcome for everyone

You state it as if it is somehow obvious, but really need to show your work here.

If it is just some reductionist claim about not having a third party consuming resources, that's almost too silly to respond to. But if you also want to forbid employers from hiring lawyers, at least you'd then be consistent.
(you didn't say this, but) nobody here should fool themselves into thinking a $3k deductible insurance is equal between an Amazon warehouse employee and a SWE at Microsoft.

$3k for a Microsoft SWE is a "dang, I wish I didn't have to go to the hospital" situation.

$3k for an Amazon warehouse employee earning $15/hr can often be a "there go my savings, I wonder if I got this injury due to the amount of physical activity my job requires" situation.
How so?

In Alabama you cannot qualify for medicaid unless you are a "needy child, parent, caregiver, pregnant woman, or elderly/disabled resident". Meaning you can't qualify just for being low income.

While Amazon does provide decent health insurance, most lower income jobs do not.

I make good money, and have good health insurance and it would still cost me over $1k to go to the hospital. Imagine doing that with no health insurance while making $10/hr.

EDIT: You updated your comment so I'll add on. Sure, Amazon provides health insurance, but a lot of businesses don't. In 2020, ~31 million Americans didn't have insurance. Even if you have health insurance, premiums and deductibles can be astronomical.

Logically you would just put the same dock on both monitors and tell it to move all new windows to DP-2 (or wherever), open an issue on their bug tracker asking for this feature to be reinstated and explaining why, and move on. This wouldn't so much be a hacky workaround as using a built in feature that achieves the same result.

In my opinion primary monitor is conflating 2 settings that perhaps ought to both exist in an easier to use that windows rules.

Open new windows on ____ selected from monitor with mouse cursor, same window as focused application, a selected monitor with the default being same monitor as focused application.

Always show panel in place of any other bar yes/no. Unchecked by default. You can have a panel on each monitor and put things of your choosing in each panel or even have a panel on top and below on the same monitor if you like. So what happens if you have a panel on your primary monitor 1 and also on your secondary monitors 2 and 3? Say you unplug the laptop and monitor 3 becomes the only monitor.

The most obvious and simple thing would be to show the same things on all 3 including showing a taskbar for the windows just on that particular monitor so that when you undock you can still do the same things. Windows does this for example the only difference is which bar has the tray.

The most theoretically correct would seem to be allowing you to set different bars for different configurations but this would be complicated and perhaps little used.

What I've suggested would be to give you the ability to set a primary bar that is always displayed hiding any secondary bars that normally appear on that display.
