Those issues are all for any scaling, not just fractional—the narrative was just muddied because it was first reported by users of fractional scaling. gtk!3898 fixes #6426, and probably the other two too because they seem to all be manifestations of the one root cause. (Incidentally, remember Firefox uses X11 unless you manually turn on its experimental Wayland support via MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1.)

Tooltips are working in all the Wayland Qt apps that I have (marble-qt, zeal-git, musescore, telegram-desktop).

If you have an AUR helper, replacing {sway,wlroots,xorg-xwayland} with {sway,wlroots,xorg-xwayland}-hidpi-git is really easy and not at all slow, though at least sway and wlroots do interdepend so that if you upgrade one you should rebuild the other or things may break (happened to me a couple of months back, there was a .so version bump). I decided that I’d rather have not-quite-perfect scaling and any package management concerns, rather than having XWayland content always look terrible. And remember that’s true of any scaling factor other than one.

I have never seen a bull market like this.

I guess it's a combination of cheap money, government buying debt, government giving away money like a drunken hedge fund guy who's date backed out. (couldn't use sailor), and no one thought businesses could survive through Zoom?

I have watched professionals wait until the last Retail investor puts in his last dime, and poof--they pull out.

What's weird is I don't even think we are close to that pullout by the big guys.

Anyone here running the Docker Engine in WSL2?

I've been using Docker Desktop for years, and thankfully it's been more stable for the past year or two - before that it was a shitshow.

It works great for me now, but I don't actually need or use any of the GUI features - it's more or less a glorified installer for Docker Engine. Not sure if it has to do any magic for mounting Windows folders to work?

Anyway, curious if it's possible to just run Docker Engine in WSL2 myself, if there are any gotchas, and if mounting Windows folders "just works"?

Elsewhere it was reported that a lot (80-90%?) of India's population has Covid-19 antibodies. If we assume 80% had it, 4.55MM would amount to a 0.5% rate of mortality - roughly in line with other places despite the relatively modest healthcare means available to the government and people.

Yeah, I used minikube for local dev on k8s services and ended up just using it for all Docker stuff after a while. It is slightly less ergonomic than Docker for Mac though especially with respect to DNS and network issues. For instance, the minikube VM and any containers running in it cannot by default use the host machines VPN, so if you have to connect to an external service over your corporate VPN then you need to do some extra config (which isn't very well documented) to make it work. And the setup I ended up using was to use the VPNKit socket that was part of Docker for Mac to make it work. Now VPNKit is also OSS so I'm sure you can get it to work without Docker for Mac at all but it's also not trivial.

I am on macOS: Mostly software, to be honest, since I don't like laptops (mac mini is my main driver). Devonthink as my software for archiving, scanning documents and OCR, Alfred as a launcher, Hammerspoon for automation. Other that that - I am programming a lot and spend a lot of time in Emacs, so I would be fine for my personal stuff.

But I also assume, that I would spend a lot of time for configuration and I would get a lot of small hardware support problems - wifi, hibernate, bluetooth. Also I would not be able to sync and copy/paste across my other apple devices, use my magic trackpad and airpods and so on.

Honestly, it is a difficult topic - I've used Linux and FreeBSD as my sole desktop system in the past for several years, so that I have a pretty good understanding of what to expect. On one side I do not want to spend time to fiddle with my system anymore, on the other side I have a feeling that the current privacy-violating course at apple will push me to jump the ship.

If you like this, do yourself a favor and go watch the entire Human Behavioral Biology course from Standford, it's also taught by Sapolsky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNnIGh9g6fA

What I think makes the course so good is that it gives you a brief but solid introduction to many different fields:

- Behavioral Evolution
- Molecular Genetics
- Behavioral Genetics
- Ethology
- Neuroscience
- Neurology and Endocrinology

And then combines all of those to try to make sense of human behavior, by looking at animal and human behavior from all these different lenses.

I haven't had to insert anything in the Windows registry in about a decade. That's also about the last time I used a Linux based OS, so I can't really compare. There was some point where Ubuntu was more user friendly than Windows Vista.

This makes me nostalgic for the Dayton Hamvention flea market back in the early 1990s. There was always a ton of 8-bit computer stuff and I used to load up every year on cheap deals on Amiga, C64/128, Atari 400/800/ST, TI 99/4A, et al. I'd get boxes and boxes of stuff for almost no money. My favorite find was a C64 with serial number S00001185. Still the second earliest known C64 outside of prototypes. I got it with a couple other C64's and a bunch of software for $5.

I haven't been to the Hamvention in many years now. The old Hara arena where it was held in those days is gone, and if there is still any 8-bit computer stuff at the flea market I can't imagine it is cheap any longer.

My (outsider's) perception is that Ruby came and went, whereas Erlang came and stayed. Talking about their popularity in their niches. It's also much older than RoR, so in that picture it's also likelier to stay longer, regardless of temporary fluctuations.

I'd also like to learn Erlang when I find the time and use it for projects in the future, whereas Ruby was never appealing to me. Each time I had to deal with it, it created a mess in my system.
> You seem to labor under the fallacy to think that anti-depressants are some kind of lifestyle drugs that generally improve mood or tolerance of adversity. They don't.

I absolutely don’t see where I wrote that. I exactly know what anti-depressant are and are not. I’m currently taking them (though that’s for chronic anxiety).

So I absolutely know that they don’t improve mood or tolerance of adversity. They « just » flatten the emotional curve, I don’t see how having flat emotions (even the good ones) are some sort of enjoyable « lifestyle ». But it does allow me to work on my anxiety issues without being submerged by ridiculously amplified anxiety.

Another bad thing (in my opinion) is "useless" rules. There are at least two kinds of useless rules:

1) rule that does not apply to any element on the page. Such rules only inflate CSS file and waste traffic and CPU cycles to process them

2) rule that is overriden by another rule. Again, it doesn't have any effect on the page and only wastes CPU cycles.

The case 1 happens when styles for all pages are merged into a single file instead of making different bundles for different pages. Both cases happen when using bloated CSS frameworks.

SInce you mentioned "unique" features, Emacs is the only programmable editor which works mostly the same in terminal and GUI mode. You can write extensions (in elisp) which largely dont know about the UI used by the user. So you actually can write UI-independent programs in elisp. I dont know a single tool that got this right.

"...but plenty of people who can drive a lorry and are licensed - who don't because salary is not competitive"

Is really the crux of the issue. Getting a licence, whilst involving some moderate challenge, isn't exactly the most difficult or expensive thing to do. It's been a crappy job for a while and relying on it being filled by immigrants who had no better alternatives isn't a sustainable solution anywhere.

Yeah, of course that works, for a while at least. Also developed in the open, patches are welcome, you can update your own NIC/GPU/Wifi-dongle components would work too. Unfortunately the whole industry (Apple as one of the main culprits) is quite hostile to anything like that.

Though maybe we'll have a RedHat of hardware someday.

Yes there are fewer drivers, however my understanding was that this was due to "pingdemic", a lot of drivers not able to work due to isolation. Additionally there were fewer new drivers trained last year, because of obvious reasons.

Also Brexit means there are fewer EU drivers able to work here, but I think the above as had more of an effect.
> Each time I had to deal with it, it created a mess in my system

That's fine, that's your subjective experience which I'm not gonna argue with.
But if you're trying to say here that Erlang is somehow more popular than Ruby for web development (or in general) that's quite ridiculous, not sure I wanna waste both our time engaging that.
Some of this isn't true anymore. For example, #2 is wrong: You've always been able to get a reference to an array element (both at an IL level, and at a C# level). It used to be somewhat awkward - you would need to pass 'ref arr[x]' to a function - but you can store references in locals now.

Agreed on #3, a lot of the BCL is just miserable in terms of design. There have been improvements lately but I'm still stuck using my own custom containers for various cases.

One good move the BCL and runtime teams have made over time is to just expose more unsafe primitives so you can easily build your own stuff - the Memory and Unsafe classes give you lots of useful tools, Span<T> and Memory<T> let you safely work with memory allocated in various ways, and various BCL stuff has been updated to accept Spans instead of requiring you to use managed arrays.
God forbid a company charge money for software they make. I don't understand why people are so angry considering they're still allowing free use outside of businesses.

From what I learn from reading about Racket from people in this forum. It's supposed to be a language to develop other languages. The other uses are to teach introductory programming classes. It's not designed to be a full fledged production grade programming language.

They also seem to be working on discarding the Lisp syntax entirely and making a new language out of Racket with a new syntax called 'Honu'. The project name is Rhombus/Racket2.
I think it is mostly the issue of dealing with byzantine corporate procurement processes. Also, it's really not all the clear what value-add Docker for Desktop is. Essentially it is just doing what you can do using the OSS components (running a Linux VM which runs the docker daemon and mounting a Unix socket on the host machine to talk to it). The only "value add" is a UI app on the host machine which I have never once used personally or witnessed anyone else using.

I certainly don't begrudge Docker for trying to create a sustainable business, but as an "open core" model it's really hard to understand what their proprietary extensions are that people will want to pay for. They took a stab at the container orchestration space with Docker Swarm (which you could definitely imagine having an "enterprise version") but that lost out pretty definitively to Kubernetes. So they're left with Docker Hub? That just doesn't seem like it will really be much of a revenue generator. You're either using whatever cloud container registry is available (ECR, GCR etc) or you're using a more general artifact repository like Artifactory, GitHub which can be a container registry as well as a Maven/NPM/etc artifact repository.
I used to love C but it's so hard to accept the possibility I'm going to compile something totally unsafe after using Rust. Do you think Rust's ecosystem isn't going to amount to anything, or that it's just a meme, or what do you intend with the Rick and Morty analogy?

How JavaScript beats GameMaker Language (GML)
This isn't relevant enough to the average user to make it onto the SDK roadmap. If community members contributed it I bet it would probably get welcomed into the larger ecosystem though.

FWIW some maintainers have been tuning .NET for Alpine Linux, so if you just want a small container to host .NET apps you should give that a try.
Most of these components already provide all their functionality over SPI, I2C, PCI or whatever.

Maybe, instead of opening up all that complexity, simply making better ways to fake a dumb component would be more effective. (That is with verified, memory safe parsers and API interfaces. Then it doesn't matter what other gunk it has behind that interface.)

And this could be implemented as yet another managed layer between the main CPU that runs user space and the hardware SoC. (Basically a low-level "WAF".) Yeah, it's a herculean task, but at least we have access to the Linux drivers.
