This is a management problem. If the company has a healthy communication practices, the people will trust the procedure and someone who is not following the rules will be removed quickly.

From my experience you cannot select with certainty and from the start with subjective criteria, you can mitigate the problems with right management and proper procedures.

What if someone with high intelligence learns to "act" and implement some "persuasion" tricks?

I had similar experiences with people with "acceptable" skillset and over the top "persuasion" skills who did not bring quality to the company at all. They go along and create "comfort" for others in the name of their own survival and career advancements.

Luckily I am aware of this "phenomenon" and never will accept "friendliness" or other subjective criteria in my company.

From production stand point the problem is that this "friendliness trend" leads to team sentiments and lack of critical thinking.

All of this is mitigated trough clear company culture and requirements. Removing subjectivism and personal preferences is vital for production processes and requires management skills.

May be this is the core of the problem: A lot of tech entrepreneurs don't invest in acquiring management knowledge and go with a path of least resistance - comfort, friendliness and "culture fit".:)

I do not think I understand which is exactly your problem.

I use monitors with different sizes and I am not aware of a way to specify in Linux a scale factor for each monitor, so if I move a window from a larger monitor to a smaller monitor, then the window, including its text, will become smaller (or possibly greater, if the second monitor has a much lower resolution), the ratio in sizes depending on both the ratio between the physical sizes and the ratio between the resolutions.

If the monitors would have very different resolutions and/or sizes, then there is no doubt that the setup would become difficult to use, unless you use some applications that you always open on a certain monitor and then you do not move them to other monitors, so you can select in the application preferences a font size and a window size appropriate for that monitor.

What I do not understand, is your reference to a blurry rendering, because the application window should be rendered in the same way on any monitor, which would lead to different text sizes, but not to differences in blurriness.

I have been using HiDPI displays in Linux for 6 or 7 years, without any problems and I also do not understand what is meant when people talk about "scaling", this might be something specific to Gnome or KDE, which I do not use. In any case "scaling" (as in Windows) sounds like something that should be strictly avoided. The fonts must be rendered for the right number of dots per font size, they must not be scaled from renderings for other DPIs (which would indeed cause blurriness).

In XFCE, you have one global setting for fonts "Custom DPI setting", which, together with the settings for anti-aliasing and hinting, determines how all the typefaces will be rendered.

After setting an appropriate high value for DPI and choosing in your applications adequate font sizes, there are no blurriness problems whatsoever, if you take care to use decent typefaces. The default typefaces in most Linux distributions are seldom good, but there are many excellent typefaces, both free and commercial.

The only programs with which I ever had problems on HiDPI in Linux are those written in Java, which very frequently lack any options for changing the font used by the program, which I consider to be a capital sin for any GUI program. Moreover, for many Java programs, the installers that use a GUI crash and die on monitors with more than 8 bit per pixel. In my experience Java is always the farthest from its claim of "write once, run everywhere".
Interesting. Do you have any links for the earlier land reclamation?
Pretty green. An advantage of running very large infra is that it makes sense to spend engineering time optimizing energy use, even in a fully profit-driven sense.
Well I mean CL is absolutely littered with pragmatism it came out of a standard committee after all. In many ways I'd argue clojure is far more opinionated, it's just an opinion that might more closely align with modern sensibilities.
For me, the substantial thing geometric algebra gave me so far was a newfound appreciation of the seemingly disparate systems: tensors, differential forms, matrix algebra, and also a newfound appreciation of stuff like determinants, conjugate elements in group theory, lie groups and lie algebras, etc., because it helps clarify the relationship between them, and as another user here said, you can get propelled up into some pretty advanced stuff later on (said user mentions the Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem and Hodge theory, but caveat: I've only recently started tacking a crack at the latter. I will say that, OTOH, it's pretty nice to be able to see something like the wiki on Clifford Analysis and realize its familiar territory from geometric calculus).

Current versions of VSCode support running under Wayland, though they don't do so by default.

I would suggest running under Wayland, and making all apps use Wayland natively.
> ARMv7 and later, which come with graphics chips optimized for for something different than what X was built for

Are they SO slow on the tasks they are not optimized for they can't even beat a 25-year-old GPU like S3 Trio?

> I'd imagine that running a current distro with a current X WM wouldn't be a great experience on 90s machines.

Why does it have to be? What do we get for this cost? The only things in which I would find a modern Linux better than a 90s Linux are full UTF-8 support, modern crypto and hardware drivers availability.

I don't know a single person (among many dozens of Linux users I personally know) who would need it. I can only imagine movie makers using Blender or something like that
Which is fine and all, but then you're paying per gb/month. Depending on how much you want to back up, it can cost you a lot more than the personal plan.
It's easier for me when I close my eyes because I don't have to consciously ignore what I actually see. But I can totally get in the zone with opened eyes, generally when I let my mind wander (on a train or bus trip or on a walk for instance).
I could be wrong but there was an inidividual very early on in the development of Zig that focused on an engine and a tooling system entirely in Zig and has been pretty consistent since. It kind of sparked interest in the game-dev aspect of it.

That's just my memory though, nothing 'official'.

Check out the large scale MMOs. No one interacts with everyone else. They find a guild and play with those people.

It's not that hard to find a different minecraft server, there are bazillions of server lists. That would be the equivalent of changing guild or being in several guilds at the same time.

I don't think we humans want to be part of a large crowd. More like part of one or more small groups. Before the internet it was mostly one. Now you can easily do several.
Textbook regressive tax, even more so in this day and age where the less well off you are the more likely you are to have to live further out. You can always find someone poorer who commutes by bus to underpin an anecdote but going from renting an apartment within the public transit network to owning a car, renting outside the public transit network and commuting in is a big level up for most people because despite the commute arguably being worse it gives you flexibility when choosing your next jobs so your next steps up come easier.
I sometimes do what the gp said - let a gap grow in front of me if I'm in stop-and-drive traffic and get annoyed when someone selfishly rushes to fill the gap in front of me only to have to break 60 seconds later.

On further reflection, that's not necessarily selfishness, more that they don't understand what I am trying to do, but there's no way to communicate complex information car to car on a highway.
Here this strikes me as an awful API though, it seems rather insane that `Schedule` would just block with no timeout or clear indication.

> Am I the only one who thinks that Zig's syntax looks incredibly ugly?

It's very subjective what is beautiful or ugly, of course. It'd be more interesting if you can offer specific critique rather than just calling it ugly.

You're probably not the only one, I for one would call any non-lisp "ugly", but again, highly subjective, as many others find some C-like code beautiful but other C-like code ugly.
It is already too late.

Emergent intelligences do not really need to be conscius to fully change the world.

Physical machines didn't needed it in the XIX century, neither logical machines - models - didn't needed it in the 2nd. decade of the XXI.

"Human beings can also learn a new task by being shown how to do it only a few times. Machines, so far, cannot. Currently, AI can be prompted – but not prompt itself – into action."

Humans trust a LOT in free will, but most of the total system of the world, don't need it at all.

The most curren and relevant example of logical machines and emergent intelligence, are corporations.

Not conscius, but incredibly intelligent, far more capable of solving complex problems than single conscius individuals and even extremely capable teams

Imagine teams of #IA
> I can imagine how nice it is to spend all your waking time trying to improve the Linux graphics stack and then listen to all the bullshit that we see in this discussion.

Is this really surprising? End users want their stuff to keep working with minimal changes. End users don't know and/or don't care that X is hard to maintain. They seen wayland coming, and they're scared that some of their stuff that they currently use will break. How exactly do you expect people to react to:

> Maybe Wayland doesn’t work for your precious use-case. More likely, it does work, and you swallowed some propaganda based on an assumption which might have been correct 7 years ago. Regardless, I simply don’t give a shit about you anymore.
CMV: claiming that computers produce CO2 makes no sense. Computers cannot produce CO2, they can only consume energy made by CO2-generating processes. Isn't the real way to stop producing CO2 to migrate to methods of producing energy that are better at mitigating this?

Furthermore, are computers even that power hungry? I cannot imagine they account for more than a tenth of our energy use.
sync-like classes [1] have been used for a long time in C++. I'm pretty sure that Stroustrup had one in his book. Of course it is always easy to subvert this kind of protection in C++ as you can easily leak references outside of the implicit critical section.

Do you have an example of "Russian style explanation"?
So true!

Both "This is just how the company is, it won't change" and "We survived thus far, we'll get through" are the unofficial mantras of the company I work for. Even though many in the middle management see the problems, these mantras are repeated whenever one speaks up against silly processes. And boy, do we have some silly processes.

It's not helped by the fact that the second is actually a mantra often quoted as the official motto of the neighboring metropolis, as if resistance to betterment is something to be proud of ("et hät noch immer jot jejange", for those in the know of both German and the dialect).

Though I suppose it might have also been the motto of the dinosaurs before the big impact.

There is "learned helplessness" in a way also in management, because they in turn seem to have learned that raising any issues with the higher management only leads to being branded as, if not a source of discord or trouble, then at the least as someone who requires a higher manager to deal with something, as opposed to those not requiring a higher manager to deal with something. The later clearly being preferred by the upper management.
I think that's unfair in the context of the time. There really was a lot of crap talked about cloud this and cloud that back then.

> Overall, I think Clojure does a good job of being both practical and lispy. It's a language that is for building real things.

As opposed to? Common Lisp and Emacs Lisp are both highly practical. Scheme you might call more academic, but that's not really what people think of when they say "Lisp".
> It seems to me like this requirement of cheap energy only centralizes mining to those few who can afford to remotely locate hardware.

You're overthinking and confusing yourself. Locating energy off grid is far cheaper than connecting a source to a grid. It's a free voluntary global market and it is a competition, obviously. Like any competition, those who are uncompetitive either find a way to compete or accept they will lose.

> If China has the cheapest energy and 80% of the miners in the world pay to physically locate their rigs there, can't a single country take over the entire network at a whim?

Hypothetical and immaterial. If no one else in the whole world can compete with China's cost of energy production then we have much bigger problems to focus on than mere bitcoin mining, for China will simply leapfrog the rest of human civilization technologically and economically.

Even when run under Wayland, VSCode looks blurry with a scaling of 150%... Wayland advocates love to mention that the real issue is using fractional scaling at all, but Windows and macOS can deal with it just fine.

>I had countless bugs and random issues last time I tried KDE

Would you mind saying when was this? This is important as the KDE crew is delivering new features and bug fixes on a rapid cadence. So your experience from a year ago, might not be valid today.

Also, a lot of the issues KDE suffers from are out of the hands of the KDE devs, as some issues stem form GNOME devs enforcing their agenda on the Linux DE community as the defacto standard on how things should work, leaving the KDE devs to fix the jank they create.
> I quite fancy doing a Phd myself one day, but I assume I'd have to do it in "stealth mode" unofficially for a few yrs without a supervisor first

I'd suggest you think very carefully about this first. There's a very high chance the stealth mode work will be non-useful for getting onto a programme. Similar to how working on a 'build it and they will come' approach is generally disadvised for startups. Obviously it depends on how much of a lone genius you are but only you know that ;)
The author translates 1 line of C mess to 7 lines of Zig mess which are then manually simplified through transforms. Why not just apply transforms to the original C code? Or is this only for people who know Zig syntax but not C?
>>Zero cases in the wild

>Follow along this post and you'll end up with one case in the wild all by yourself on your own machine

I know it's possible. The 'case in the wild' terminology is asking whether this was ever weaponized in an exploit. I don't recall X ever being an attack vector in the last decade or two. I guess there are more than enough ways to gain local root this class of exploits doesn't matter.

Now, I'm all for closing this hole. But there's something bad about a development strategy that finds things like this and DPI with multiple monitors very important - the vast vast majority of users only have a single monitor - and mostly ignored scenarios like remote desktop until 2020 or so - remote desktop always used by several orders of magnitude more users than HiDPI, and a little tiny bit more important with this mass pandemic going on.

Maybe that's why transitioning from X to Wayland takes more time than transitioning from python2 to python3, a well known example of successful migration.
Yeah, so did I for a while -- even though I never left the industry!

But as soon as I tried to find out how this "magic" was supposed to work, it evaporated.

This article seems to suggest this idea is a little more than a thing a physicist thought up in the bath, and hasn't yet done the sums to verify that these reactions might even happen, let alone tested it experimentally.
I think you're proving his point beautifully. You've been online since the mid-90s, so you're ~40 or older?

I don't mean to be derogatory, but you sound exactly like an "oldie" who is out of touch as described by the GP.

Zoomers are absolutely spending more time online and less time IRL than previous generations.

I'm only 23 and the difference between my childhood and my younger siblings is massive. They generally prefer to socialize by playing online games with their friends rather than hanging out with them in person, and they do so for hours at a time. I used to go to friends houses to play games. That doesn't seem to happen anymore.

All "equivalents" you mention have less functionality than their originals and some only work on specific compositors like wlroots/sway. Like all things Wayland it's a mess with zero benefits for the user.

HTTPS vs HTTP is a false equivalent. HTTP works just fine like before. X11 can be made fully secure (e.g. QubesOS does it) but nobody uses it because there is really no need on a FOSS system where 100% of clients you run are trusted.

Most trials fail. But many of those failures are preventable. The Lean Trial is a new approach being adopted across the globe, changing the way companies perform medical research.

The Lean Trial approach fosters companies that are both more capital efficient and that leverage human creativity more effectively. Inspired by lessons from breakthrough healthcare startups, it relies on improving data ("Falsify Until You Qualify®"), employing Pareto-trained® workers (80% of knowledge comes from 20% of training), as well as a number of counter-intuitive practices that measure actual progress without resorting to vanity metrics like adverse event reports. It enables a company to pivot with agility, deviating from protocols inch by inch, minute by minute.
Utility installs dwarf residential in most places, but a notable exception is Australia. This probably reflects dysfunctional regulation and regulatory capture by fossil fuel interests there.
The linked article talks about misleading ads that let people download malicious apks. This is no different than scam emails with malicious .exes, or "please reset your WhatsApp password here" messages, ...etc. In other words, it doesn't demonstrate why web ads are any more susceptible to being malware vectors when compared to email, messaging apps, or social media (basically anything with user-generated/third-party content that allows text).

Which is why it feels unfair to me to single out Zoom's addition of ads to their free tier for being a malware vector.

> arbitrage bot from Bitstamp to MtGox once

The issue with that arbitrage is that it was always one-sided. If you're arbing 2 equivalent markets (e.g. name trading on two different US exchanges), you'd expect to buy and sell on both markets in equal amounts, on average.

Bitstamp vs Mt Gox arb required traders to always buy BTC on Mt Gox and sell on Bitstamp (which is a strong indicator of cp risk). This makes inventory management very difficult - especially towards the end of Mt Gox where fund withdrawal times were of the order of months.
D has garbage collection (though it can be avoided, but perhaps everyone isn't aware of it, or maybe it doesn't have enough benefits then), which I think some game devs want to avoid.

Rust is complicated by its very strict memory safety. While that's nice, I don't think memory safety is game developers #1 priority. A crash is annoying but acceptable.

Zig also doesn't assume a global allocator anywhere (malloc/free), and I think game developers often like to use custom allocators for performance reasons.
Is this just a hard fork? This exists, I believe its called Bitcoin Cash or Bitcoin "Satoshi Vision".
It’s very intentionally written from the perspective of someone who knows linear algebra but maybe not that much, if any, abstract algebra, because that’s what the target audience is.
