I haven't used a tiling WM but I'm intrigued by the idea. I have reservations, specifically that I have really poor eyesight so I honestly don't know how many windows I could usefully put on a screen anyway. But still, piles of windows are a mess.

But here's where I always get stuck on such things with Linux in particular:

1. It's usually a whole new set of keybinds I have to learn. I feel the same way about tmux/screen, emacs and vim and the like. For the others I get that there is a point because you can use all of them in vt-environments (eg over ssh connections). Whatever the case, they all represent a cognitive load that I have difficulty motivating myself to summit. You just get a lot of behaviour for free with a traditional mouse UI;

2. An esoteric scripting/configuration language, in this case Haskell for XMonad (it seems?). Often the out-of-the-box defaults will be sparse and/or rough and you'll have a whole bunch of conflicting advice on how you should modify that.

This works for many people and I"m genuinely happy for you.

Are there any tiling WMs that are a little more... accessible?
I’d have imagined exactly the opposite — Single window likely maximized on small screens but much fancier tiling on large screens!

Can you talk a bit about how facebook measures impact from their employees? How is it defined? How closely do you think it tracks real impact. How often do people figure out how to game it, and how is it usually gamed? Do you think it is possible to modify the definition of impact such that an ethical component can be added to it?

I agree about the effectiveness of tiling WMs. I use dwm, which I think is nearly perfect software, but I guess not to everyone’s taste.

It really depends on disease prevalence, technological capability and urgency. For example during ebola epidemic RVSV-ZEBOV vaccine was administered to infected people prior any previous human testing. H1N1 vaccine was developed in number of months (3rd phase trial size was 2200 persons) but sufficient and timely mass production failed.
Note that I didn’t say otherwise but rather that cars have beneficial effects for people outside of the automotive industry. I’d love to ban them personally but that would negatively impact millions of people unless we first made massive investments in transit, bike/pedestrian infrastructure, etc. - quite the contrast with cryptocurrency, which could disappear tomorrow without any noticeable impact outside of speculators.

I wonder what will happen to XMonad as the Wayland future actually seems to be approaching. I suppose nothing yet.

But, I was an i3wm user, and now it’s hard to imagine going back to X11. I run SwayWM on NixOS and using Linux any other way feels archaic now. Yes, I do genuinely understand how that seems absolutely ridiculous, but honestly, it does. Other than the occasional stability issue or bug, it really feels like the future is arriving: smooth rendering, predictable latency, hardly an imperfect frame, heterogeneous DPI with no effort, no need to string along GNOME or KDE services to configure input devices or manage displays, yet to experience any problems with sleep/resume, and with NixOS, a simple, centrally managed configuration for my whole OS (including Sway) and any patches, git-versioned. It isn’t perfect, but it is almost as good as promised. I just recently setup a new desktop by grabbing a recent NixOS USB stick, formatting the drives, git cloning my configs, and running the installer, and one reboot later I was in my environment with Sway, all of my applications, my configuration…

I’ve tried versioning my dotfiles before, but this seemed to both be more tedious and still not really accomplish what I wanted. My desktops and laptops are single user, so I can just use NixOS to manage system-wide configs instead and get 99% of what I actually wanted.

I’ve digressed a bit into stuff very unrelated to WMs, but the software around your WM is important when dealing with tiling WMs. Nobody wants a bespoke pile of complex configurations that could break on an upgrade without warning, and that has never been more important than with minimal WMs.
This is additionally confusing because different prominent platforms use different systems - eg, 1500ish is the 50th percentile on lichess (used in the blog post), but chess.com (which many streamers / online commentators use) has more like an 1100 midpoint for its ELO-approximating system, and 1500 is reasonably high there (it also varies with time control I believe). And USCF+FIDE use other systems altogether.

It's basically impossible to discuss chess ratings or changes in them without "type" information :)
Note that Musk moved the HQ to Austin, one of the most liberal cities in the US and probably the most expensive in Texas, and not for example to Fort Worth, a conservative city next door to Dallas. The fact that TX doesn't have a State income tax or a carbon capture tax but California does, will have also been a factor I'm sure.
I wouldn't want to :). It looks very expressive, much more than I had known just 3 days ago, but maybe it's a little loose around the edges for my taste.
Where I live, we used to have tons of frogs. The city actually built a freeway bypass to prevent too many flat frogs. Didn't work. Anyway, the frogs quickly vanished around the same time we started spraying to reduce the spread of West Nile. Don't know if it was the food source or if the spray killed the tadpoles, but unintended consequences are a thing. A knock-on to that is we now have a growing roach problem.
Bspwm is great too if you're interested in trying a tiling window manager. Have been using it almost exclusively for the last 2 years without too many problems.

I'm sure female employees of Tesla (and wives of male employees, and daughters of employees), will be just thrilled to move to Texas so they can be subjected to Texas' new reproductive rights system, derived from The Handmaid's Tale.
You said these things "have never been protected", and that "there have always been limits". Those are descriptive (and incorrect) statements about the actual law.

If you think the law is bad and should be different, say that. Don't phrase your policy goals as if they're the way the law currently works.

I didn't say you consciously support it. I said your take reflects it.

I suspect your definition of "white supremacy" is "the KKK". For me and many others, it has a much broader definition: White supremacy is the Eurocentric/racial analog of patriarchy. As with patriarchy, it is a deeply integral part of the dominant culture. It is part of the social and historical milieu within which we all came into being. See also https://www.pym.org/annual-sessions/wp-content/uploads/sites...

One doesn't have to be a misogynist or even a man to view things through the lens of patriarchy, or fail to realize one's perspective is so narrated. Likewise you can have black friends, participate in BLM protests or even be black and still have a white take on things ("white" here refers to culture, not skin color), because that is the culture that dominates, the economic system that dominates, the political power that dominates.

Patriarchy, white supremacy, capitalist and heteronormative culture is woven into the fiber of even my own being. We all must work to unravel it.

I haven't watched your documentary on homelessness, but obviously you are a thoughtful bloke. We could converse over email if you'd like. See my HN profile.
Liberal social politics doesn't necessarily equate to liberal economic politics. As highly paid engineers tend to also be affected by high taxes, etc. it's possible we'll see a move towards liberal social policies (i.e. abortion) while business law more-or-less stays put.
> If cloudflare kicks them off, that's different than just "removing material from the cache" which seems to be what the argument is.

Let me add onto this, even w/o Cloudflare, that STILL won't stop infringements, as other CDN's or even no CDN can be used. It just clears Cloudflare of guilt/responsibility they may have.
I think that's actually pretty easy?

> To state that children will be put at risk by the vaccines is not "fear porn," it is clearly the case.

To argue that COVID is not a threat to children, but the vaccines are, is an inconsistent position. Children are, statistically, at quite low risk from both.

As a parent, I'm quite comfortable with the idea of my children taking the very very very small risk of a vaccine reaction in order to not go grandparent-less.

> they're still made from nicotine. It's just smoking without the smoke.

The nicotine is not the harmful thing in cigarettes[1][2] - the "without the smoke" bit is pretty important.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine#Adverse_effects
[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigarette#Health_effects

Sure the tobacco companies are making money off of selling addictive chemicals to people, which is not a particularly ethical business practice. But "selling addictive chemicals with adverse effects roughly in line with caffeine" is still a big improvement over "selling addictive chemicals that kill people".
These laws and politics have real effects on people's lives. Just because you personally are comfortably removed from them doesn't mean that they aren't problems.

I believe most automotive radars in the last few years are FMCW exactly to accommodate adaptive cruise control.
He's already in talks to build a new Tesla tunnel in San Antonio.
One big advantage of most tiling WMs is being able to navigate without the mouse, so there's always going to be some keybindings to learn.

You might like Regolith, which is basically an opinionated i3 setup you can install on top of Ubuntu as a set of packages. It integrates with Gnome and is ready-to-go out of the box, compared to manually installing and configuring i3 and its accessories.

It's also available as a LiveUSB and complete install if you prefer that route.

https://regolith-linux.org/
ratpoison's config file is just a list of settings like a .gitconfig

The bindings are pretty simple like screen/tmux.

It's quite bare and simple.

An advantage for low vision of tiling WMs like ratpoison is that you can keep all applications full screen and flip between them very fast.
> Lots of people will be commuting from Round Rock.

By the time Tesla reaches critical mass in Austin, Project Connect may very well be on its way to construction of the Orange and Blue lines. This establishes a light rail train from North Austin to the Airport. Given Round Rock is north of Austin, and the Airport is nearly adjacent to the Tesla complex, this could be a suitable option for commuters. Or easily extended with additional investment.

Though, for white collar jobs, I would expect multiple Tesla offices in Austin to work around this problem. They already have office space leased on opposite ends of the city.

Tech Ridge is a great location that is accessible from Round Rock and Cedar Park. Apple, GE, 3M, Home Depot, and Blue Apron all have offices in this area.
It’s a no brainer, my company offered to let me move out of CA a few years ago.

My utilities are 50% cheaper and more reliable, crime is lower, the air quality is better, and I bought a new construction with 10G Fiber Internet (You will never get this in California due to failing infrastructure). I miss is the arts, culture, and nightlife, but that was wiped out by government-enacted COVID restrictions so there are few redeeming reasons to stay. Tesla should be a good lesson that when you put political idealism above the basic needs of your residents (Safety, infrastructure, housing), people leave.
At least on lichess which is where The articles mmr is coming from, 1500 is roughly average among everyone playing not people who play competitively.

I sit around 1450-1500. Myself and others I play against regularly throw pieces away for free. Not fall in to traps or anything like that, or even when rushing on low time, I mean just straight up plonk a Queen down in the path of a bishop during the early/mid game for no reason at all. And then sometimes our opponent doesn’t even realise we did it! It’s certainly not competitive tier play.
I think GP's point was more about wondering whether this change is beneficial to the company, or mainly beneficial to Elon. I think that's a very valid question.
This is a good thing
>Why would it want to hasten a shift in Texas politics to something that resembles California?

Clearly, Tesla wouldn't want that; but it would be a side-effect.

Tech workers tend to be educated, educated people tend to be left-leaning, a tech economy is a liberal economy.

That California has a liberal government and the world's tech hub is not a coincidence.
All shorting consists on 5 steps:

1. Borrow
2. Sell
3. Wait
4. Buy back
5. Close

There is USDT lending available. Even more, there is decentralized collateralized lending available.

If someone wanted to short USDT there are plenty of opportunities to do so. (And there might be a lot of people doing so, specially now that the shadyness is being reported on some of the more reputable traditional newspapers)

Not sure why this comment is being down-voted, but I do agree with it somewhat. As an outsider, I see other states like Washington state also having no state income tax, but none of the kind of writing when companies move there or form there instead of California.
StumpWM is very accessible. Written in Common Lisp, manual tiling and GNU Screen-like keybindings. It's trivial to use and to customize.
> Are there any tiling WMs that are a little more... accessible?

Yes! Pop shell by system76. It's an extension to gnome and not its own window manager so you get stuff like volume keys, screen brightness indicators, status bars display settings, and so on for free instead of needing to piece together a separate solution for every tiny thing.

You can do everything with a mouse if you want. I've started with just using a mouse and every few weeks I try and learn a shortcut or two for what I do most frequently.
Growth, and especially growth in younger demographics, is probably the metric Facebook was looking at.

This comment just doesn't sit right with me. Obviously there's the issue that it reeks of tech elitism but there's more to it than that.

Like not everyone needs to pass a FAANG hiring crap shoot. You can give someone useful skills with which they can earn a living.

As for accountants, well there are levels here too. Bookkeeping being one entry-level route. "Accountant" also means many things, like it's often conflated with "consultant" in, say, a Big Four (is it still Big Four?) case.

Lawyers actually do have a path to practice law without getting a law degree via a sort of apprenticeship program. It's not often used but it does exist.

And then there's doctors. If you ignore college and just focus on medical school plus required on-the-job training (ie residency program, possibly a fellowship), it can take 6-12 years to fully train a doctor.

Whatever you may think of us software engineers, we're nowhere near the same level as a doctor in terms of required training. And that's all there is to it. I mean no one figures out how to remove an appendix when they're 12 in their parents' garage.

But the US criminal "justice" system is really a human rights abomination for all the well-documented reasons (eg incarceration rate, racial bias, institutional rape, unjustifiably long sentences for possession of substances that are now legal in ~15 states, etc) but the big one is scarlet letter cruelty that most Americans seem to be OK with.

I am of course talking about the nefarious "are you a felon?" question on job and other applications. I'm of the view that once someone has served their time, you should no longer hold it over their head such that they can't get many jobs, rent an apartment, etc.

We should all be concerned about that if we care at all about recidivism. Unfortunately many Americans take a purely punitive view.
