I didn't notice Wayland becoming the default, tbh. Thanks for mentioning this.
As for the specific bug, it was introduced by the implementation of a non-essential feature (the languague switch HUD) which was then left in place, likely because the Wayland transition was juuust around the corner. While Wayland does address many architectural issues, I don't think X users should deal with regressions caused by Wayland-optimized features just yet (and definitely not 8 or so years ago).
I am very much interested in furthering this discussion. Every so often there is something big like this in the news, we talk about it for a few days and then forget about it. Nothing substantially changes. No big consequences for the guilty. How do we fix this?
That’s not quite true. The specific lawsuit from which these documents originate (related to ad tech) was filed by Republican states but the Justice Department’s antitrust division, led by a Biden appointment attorney, is involved and is preparing a second lawsuit. One of Biden’s stated goals is to tighten antitrust violations in tech.

There is also the other antitrust lawsuit related to the Playstore that were filed by blue and red states.
It is the same in London. The dedicated bike lanes contain legions of fast moving cyclists.

The difference between cars is that cyclists - as a general rule - totally ignore any rules. Pedestrian crossing? Pah! Rules are for others! Instead scream obscenities at the pedestrian as you weave past and around them (at <10cm distance) for having the temerity of slowing you down when they are legitimately crossing the cycle path. A cyclist was recently prosecuted in London for killing a pedestrian when they drove into them at high speed after shouting at them to get out of the way failed to work... There must be loads of other non-fatal collisions that don't make the news

TL;Dr - During in rush hour it can be hard to cross the cycle lanes, but roads are fine. Cars generally do not try to "go around you" at very close distance when you are a pedestrian, but cyclists do.
I've done a lot of synthwave discovery via Spotify - once you've listened to a few artists, it quickly supplies a lot more. It seems to do this much better for synthwave than for many other genres i've listened to!

That said, Gunship and Starcadian are the only synthwave artists i've liked enough to actually get out my wallet for, and i think i heard both of them from recommendations. I probably will for Occam's Laser at some point, who i think i first heard on Spotify.
Seems like a big nothingburger. Doubt anything will come of this.

>{ contentType: "image/jpeg", content: <real binary data not base64> }

It would have to be encoded somehow, because what if the "real binary data" included the byte 0x7D which is '}'
It's true for print and news apps as well. There are zero English language sources of real journalism.
I just noticed that and edited my comment before noticing your reply. It seems really odd that they don't show that distribution, it seems to be by far the most interesting data they're collecting there.
> And why is Covid not really a thing in subsaharan Africa where everyone takes ivermectin anyway,

False premise. Africa as a whole trended a lot like Europe and North America until late 2020, but the late 2020 to 2021 reopening explosion that the latter two places had was replaced with a slower gradual growth with a later and lower peak in Africa, which has been fairly hard hit compared to the rest of the world outside Europe and North America.
Solèr’s Theorem
I really liked his commentary on CNN calling themselves “mainstream” as opposed to supposed fringe podcasters when he has easily 10x the viewership of any program on CNN - really CNN just makes themselves more fringe by lying about ivermectin
So the plain data is smaller because some information comes from the schema instead of the object. Guess what, you can do the same with json already [1]

I think you’re thinking of “Ask for Angela” or an “Angel Shot”:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ask_for_Angela
What about that statement is confusing?

Shortened it is saying: "CNN is promoting an extremist hate culture towards people who voted for somebody other than Joe Biden".

That seems accurate if you spend any time watching their programming.
I'd like to start by saying you made a very good argument here, but I would like to make some comments of my own as someone who is absolutely infatuated with this genre. You mention that a lot of synthwave is easy listening, but ironically most of the synthwave artists I tend to enjoy are a lot more "hardcore" I'd list 'carpenter brut','dance with the dead' and 'master boot record' as some good counterexamples to what you described. As for the social aspect, many people agree that the movie 'Drive' really kicked off the modern synthwave movement with its soundtrack and how the music played into the actions of the main character. The interesting thing about that movie is that it exists in a world almost directly opposite of what you described as "smooth social brand exterior" all the characters are living in some form of grime or filth, and the main character is a socially stunted badass. This movie (atleast for me) really set the stage of what synthwave conveyed, its fantasy of what I was told growing up were better times. Hotline Miami is another piece of art that prominently uses the genre to convey harsh ultra violent scenes of death and destruction, the beat and tempo drive the player to move quickly and kill swiftly in these dingy crime infested apartment complexes. Because I was so heavily influenced by Drive and Hotline Miami I see the genre as this brooding soundtrack for antihero's, like the kind of music that plays when the protagonist does some horrible stuff and subsequently smokes a cigarette looking off into the distance trying to understand what they just did. I'll post some example tracks below of darker stuff that fits this ethos.

The entire corporate media blatantly ignoring that we've been safely giving Ivermectin to humans for decades is a total disgrace.
All of those biases are also applicable to experts. We hope they are less biased, but they can never be bias free and there are certainly cases where experts have been egregiously biased, often is very subtle ways, that have led policy grievously astray. Like when the USDA pushed the country away from fats and toward processed sugar
Yep we find a variant of this with our python open source data science users who normal businesses would hate:

- Across all Python envs (Jupyter, streamlit/plotly, flask/Django, ...), they report way more bugs, and often from our free tiers, which sounds low ROI.. but our community caught all but ~2 significant bugs we fixed this year that our internal automated testing missed and would have otherwise gone to our Enterprise and gov users . They are happy to exchange a tiny bit of GPU or viz burps for new features faster, as long as we are responsive to their reports! That also pushed us to a better dev cadence which wouldn't have worked for our Enterprise users. More subtle, we have more confidence for deploying wider features/APIs which would otherwise be too underused + risky for the same reason.

- they are often doing innovative new things with our stack, which originally meant feature requests for non-repeatable sales.. but ended up stretching our flexibility into wider applicability, and they can clearly tell us areas to advance the visual, analytic, etc sides of our R&D and package it up for the rest of their internal analysts. Almost like a multiplier for conversations with our more operationally focused no-code/low-code users, and helps us see around the corner for them in the AI+API+customization sides!

- most of our technical partnership discussions now go through our OSS client repos. Rather than PowerPoints with BD people that don't have staff to do things, a product dev or sales engineer/architect or devrel blogger will think, "oh our customers would benefit from better interactive visuals on our data, let me whip something up quick with that package" and we help them take it from there

- open source data users like PyData developers and data scientists, compared to say the # of SMBs out there or general enterprise employees, is small and almost by definition doesn't pay for most software... but they end up being attached to projects that do, and influence much of their organization that definitely does!
> I have a Lenovo X1 and everything pretty much works out of the box on base Arch Linux

I'd be curious to know if it actually works well with linux-libre (Linux without the binary blobs). It's apparently not maintained as a distro package but is available on the AUR.

Moreover, I'm still curious if all hardware functions without its own binary blobs. For example, is the networking firmware really free and replaceable, or is the proprietary firmware interoperable with a FLOSS driver? Likewise, is the entire system libreboot-able?

Sorry for nitpicking, i'm just looking for precise answer to a topic that's not widely questioned/debated to my knowledge.
20 yrs experience? Nobody cares. That not a benefit. It's a feature. No one cares about features.

Skills X, Y and/or Z?

Ability to A, B and/or C?

These are more important. Whether it 20 yrs, or more, or less. No one cares.
But then they wouldn't be lexicographically sortable.
This is not the case in German language Wikipedia, though. There are many examples there of users with high reputation abusing their power and pushing their personal agendas.
Same here. I see. I suppose my comment was just to convey how a lot of people end up buying toxic stuff through ads because they just click and buy without regard to where they are or going on the web.

It seems like you know exactly what to do with regard to authenticity, no knock on you.

Yeah, unfortunately we can't control the masses, let alone even friends and family, so these ads and products will thrive.

It's a bit sad because products used to come from trusted local vendors.

Now, a whole host of health problems and diseases are gonna be cropping up in people due to e-commerce. I wonder if we can already see that with the prevalence statistics.
If that's the worst part of air travel for you, you should count your blessings.
My point exactly. It's still a relatively utopian situation compared to most places in the US
From the interview:

> FH: It’s my contention that feudalism is a natural condition of human beings…not that it is the only condition or not that it is the right condition…that it is just a way we have of falling into organisations. I like to use the example of the Berlin Museum Beavers. You ever come across this?

> WM: No.

> FH: Well my…the numbers are going to be wrong but it’s on this order… Before World War II there were a number of families of beaver in the Berlin Museum. They were European beaver. They had been there, raised in captivity for something on the order of seventy beaver generations, in cages. World War II came along and a bomb freed some of them into the countryside. What did they do? They went out and they started building dams.

> ALL: (Laughter)

> WM: Wow! Wow!

> FH: Now tribal organisation…feudalism is tribal organisation…

> WM: Oh, yes.

> FH: And that’s what I’m talking about. So, tribal organisation is a natural organisation of humankind. We tend to fall into it, given any chance at all, given the proper stresses, or given the proper lack of stresses.
The entire nations property values are FN insane. They should ALL drop.

1350 sf for $599,000 thats $450/sf - wtf. in the ghetto in SF. and the home is a ghetto looking home on the outside with zero land.

I LOVE Joe Rogan shitting all over LA and SF.

The podcast with the author is fantastic to have in the background and listen to.

again, I want to help the homeless with 'Care Fleet' -- See my other comment on that.
Also a Googler, opinions are my own. My current experience is very different (I work on Assistant and there are plenty of problems to solve, a mix of interesting technical ones and some organizational ones), but I have been on teams where I've seen what you're talking about. I strongly suggest changing teams!
That's actually an amazing point. I didn't pick up on it at first but now that you mention it clearly was part of the uncanny feel of the whole thing.
100% true. The experimental gene therapy test subjects are the best recent example.
Right! If they must have TVs on, switch to travel programming, which would actually make sense in context.
Intellectual problem: given the current state of affairs, structure a system to help individuals in distress; check current proposals. Preliminary: know the current state of affairs (e.g. growth of domestic violence, correlation with isolation measures). Aside: cultural contexts (Canada, CWF).

Non-triviality of the context: this morning this friend of mine had to call an emergency number. The country he was in had structured years ago the workflow as follows: first you talk to an operator, which compiles a form "with your help". Then you wait on hold, until a switchboard tune stops and you talk to the police (as in, "Hello, five minutes ago when I first called somebody was shooting around"). The operator reports being legally bound not to pass any information directly to the police: there is no action if the police does not talk to the caller, and there is no police if you do not spend the preliminary minutes. I am sure a few issues are clear.
Thanks for sharing. Yes that’s what I was failing to recall.
Correct, i'm slightly abusing semantics. I'm mixing them both under the category of "software that should be under user control", and interested about the FLOSS support for both.
There's a reason I went with an overpriced Clevo from System76. It has it's warts and the build quality really isn't there for how much I paid. But I turn it on, and everything works. I enjoyed compiling the kernel and chasing down little problems on desktop linux machines when I was a lot younger, but now I just want a laptop I can rely on and get things done with. Without knowing any specifics and not really caring, it was easy to glean that Lenovo had burned the ThinkPad's reputation some time ago when I was planning my last purchase... I'm having a hard time sympathizing with the author.

> Why are people on HN so obsessed with this concept?

I think HN users have a strong sense of curiosity. Some may aspire to live in these communities, others are just curious to hear their story. It's the first time I have seen a topic like this on HN.
The truth is scattered around all points of the spectrum, left, right, center, and everywhere in between. The flawed assumption is thinking otherwise. In such a world it’s still wrong (non-optimal) to try to manipulate the news to make it seem all truth is on just one side.
Yea thats a super bizarre decision on the part if airports, I don’t imagine CNN/fox pays them, they probably pay huge cable bills for the privilege of increasing their customers’ anxiety.

Weather channel might make sense, but why not some anthony bourdain or rick steves, some upbeat travel TV?
Yeah, weird how not all ideas are interchangeable.
I wonder how that graph will look in several years times. Will it be a bump that goes back down to near where it was? Seems doubtful. But I don't think we'll see it plateau at 80%, either. Maybe a drift back down to 50% ish?

At the beginning of the pandemic, I read a quote from a person that study the histories of pandemics and they said something like, "there will be two worlds, one before Covid, and one after."

It seemed like hyperbole then, but not anymore.
Inconvenience is temporary, fear is lasting.

In 1910 the majority of Manhattan's area was not yet built out, and people in the Lower East Side were living in brutally overcrowded tenements with an average of less than 100sqft per person, that shouldn't be the goal.

I'm tempted to say that this story uses hindsight to maybe give Apple at least a bit too much credit. When the iPod first came out it wasn't anything obviously special. The famous clicky wheel didn't come until I think the 4th generation and I believe iTunes was originally Mac only. And Macs were pretty fringe at the time.

And while legit digital music downloads would set the stage for today's online music scene, digital purchases were never that big a chunk of the market and declined fairly quickly given streaming.
I've written this code (in C++) for an employer. RE2 scaled fine to hundreds of thousands of regexes. You'll want to use RE2::Set, which compiles multiple regexes into a single DFA, and probably the "Filter" functionality (whose name I don't precisely remember and am too lazy to look up) which uses an Aho-Corasick tree to subset the potential matches. One thing you'll have to watch out for is RE2's maximum DFA size; if compilation of your RE2::Set fails, just split your set of regexes in half and compile again.

You could probably do some fun optimizations by grouping the regexes which depend on the same literals into their own sets, but I never needed to.
"Can we say the job market is only good for junior developers?"

No, not at all. It's hardest on them.

The lousy studies aren't lousy because of the constraints of an insufficient budget. They're based on fraudulent/fabricated data.

As far as the "real world trial" of India, the peak of their delta wave roughly coinciding with an updated treatment guideline including ivermectin is hardly strong evidence.

A) Correlation isn't causation.

B) An updated treatment guideline doesn't indicate people were actually taking ivermectin.

C) Using it as a treatment (i.e. after a case occurs) can't possibly be responsible for preventing cases. There was some buzz about it being offered as a prophylactic, but it never panned out.

D) The peak of the wave coinciding with the update necessitates that the reproduction rate was dropping before the update

Further, just look at Peru for a clear demonstration that it isn't the miracle some would like to believe it is.
That depends on your age and cardiovascular health. Overexertion in heat can be deadly.

I am 43, I have no chronic disease, but I would be afraid of more than just sweating if I went on a biking trip in that temperature. Sometimes I feel unwell even when walking in such heat.
By default, ISO 8601-1:2019 does not permit negative years in date representations.

Expanded representation (i.e. five digits or more for the year) permits both positive and negative years (and the sign is mandatory for both positive and negative years).

ISO 8601-2:2019 has provisions for numeric extensions. Subclause 4.4.1.2 permits negative four-digit years (years -9999 to -0001).

Note that both of these options require mutual agreement.

Off topic:

For those looking for a decent cable TV news source, I highly recommend The News at 7pm ET on CNBC. It’s hosted by an ex-fox news anchor, but it’s the only cable news show I’ve found that isn’t blatantly far left liberal or far right conservative… and also hasn’t devolved into a talk show.

It’s refreshing to hear segments reporting on actual events that occurred, and then on to the next segment without the talking head commentary.

So if one OS company moves in a certain direction, the other one can do so safely. Implicit collusion.

Apps need to run/execute in an open source runtime environment that operating systems can choose to integrate...and would need to if they wanted to run any of the applications on the market. The browser is not the answer.

Once these guys get settled in they are going to push for regulation that will somehow preclude people from using Linux desktops.

> Even a "breaking apart" that proposes splitting "search" from "advertising" would do nothing to address the issues that are getting raised at present.

Alone it wouldn't help, but what if you split search from advertising, and forced the "search" part to up advertising to the highest bidder, not just from google ads?

If Google Search really was its own company and with its own shareholders, getting the most money for a bid would be more profitable than colluding with the rest of former Google.

These suburb neighborhoods in America though use that extra 1/2 acre per family to support swim, tennis, playground, small football fields, community house.

Anecdotally; the neighborhood of 400 houses, each on 1/2 acre,I reference was < 1 mile distance to an elementary, high school, chain grocery store, and local store fronts - and served 4 similar neighborhoods in 1 mile distance. Other "eco" features supported were 3 retention ponds and multiple streams.

Was it eco? No. If everybody had a garden plot, and biked would it be more eco than this (1/2 to 1/3 the density) neighborhood selling itself as eco, probably
CNN’s front page is just embarrassing. It’s all clickbait and scare tactics.
I have a Raspberry Pi 4. If you use the official distro, which includes all the hacks to make the hardware function, it works well yes but only barely. Try any other distro and it does not work very well since Linux itself doesn't actually have a lot of suppprt upstreamed. I have to use binary blobs, tweak lots of knobs etc to make simple things like video playback work. Some (all?) distros still recommend 32-bits due to limited support for 64-bits still.

Quite eye opening for me as i always thought support for Raspberry Pi was of a high standard. The reality couldnt be further than the truth. Ironically I have a Lenovo which works well out of the box with no blobs or weird hacks on Arch or Debian (despite no official support for my particular model that I know of). The latter is what I would describe as "well supported by the Linux kernel". Certaintly not Raspberry Pi.
