> With X, all monitors must share the same pix density

To get proper fractional scaling on X11 with monitors of different pixel densities, you'll want to use either:

1. GNOME Shell with a patched version of Mutter, which is included by default in Ubuntu[1] and its derivatives (such as Pop!_OS and elementary OS). Manjaro also offers the patched version of Mutter as the mutter-x11-scaling package.[2] You'll need to enable the x11-randr-fractional-scaling experimental feature for any of these distros.[3]

2. Cinnamon, included by default in Linux Mint

To get proper fractional scaling on Wayland, you also have two options:

1. GNOME Shell (no patch needed), with the scale-monitor-framebuffer experimental feature enabled[3]

2. KDE Plasma, which is still a little bit buggy on Wayland

> Always before, but you should also factor in local taxes and cost of living yourself when evaluating an offer.

I'd also like to stress that, along with taxes, there are also tax benefits in play, which are highly dependent on your personal circumstances and willingness to pursue them, and can also have a limited timespan.

For instance, some European countries offer generous tax benefits to highly skilled professionals willing to relocate which are only applicable for a few years and require the employee to jump through a few hurdles to benefit from them. If we leave it to recruiters to do the tax math, unscrupulous recruiter might use that to create inflated expectations regarding net salary and disposable income.
Yes please, it took me over 5 secs to figure out what to click, felt like ages.
Generally before tax, especially in the context of annual salary. When talking about post-tax pay (“take home pay”) the convention in my country at least is to express that in weekly or fortnightly terms.

For salary in my country (Australia) though, the figure usually doesn’t include superannuation (payments into a kind of third party pension fund) which is applied on top (legislated as a compulsory 10% on top of the wage).
I think this is just about where the identifier has to go in a declaration. Otherwise the spiral rule [or rather right-left-rule, as pointed out elsethred] doesn't start at the right place (to over-simplify it).

You can in fact have parentheses in declarations, but the identifier must be on the inside, not just to the right of everything: https://godbolt.org/z/vKzcYMdvK
Using PopOS 21.10 (Gnome Wayland), mixed dpi 2x and 1x on intel works pretty ok for wayland native apps. Xwayland stuff renders blurry on the hidpi screen but in practice i dont hit this often at all.
Everything is blurry unless you disable shadows though because gnome went and did their own pretty thing without thinking it through.

Also integer scale is a happy place - wayland still has no real non-integer scale protocol. (See: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/i...)

I understand it's done in the name of security, but I refuse to accept there's no practical way to allow user to launch software on his own machine from the browser without some auxiliary intermediate program which some older extensions suggested as a way to continue working.

Improbable CEO Herman Narula on why the metaverse matters
I'm curious what people here think of all the healthcare startups that many of you likely get recruiter emails from regularly. Aside from the ethical questions of making money in the American healthcare system, a lot of them would likely have a vested interest in that healthcare status quo to an extent right? If something like Medicare for All happened, it would upend so much of the system (in a good way in my opinion) that a lot of these companies might have to pivot massively. It's enough to make me just not want to work in that sector.

Not saying this applies to all healthcare startups. There's a lot of "luxury" healthcare companies that would likely be fine because their customers are high paying companies that would still want it as a recruiting tool.

The concept as described in the article is totally foreign to me. Would there be some upside of trying to awaken some additional inner voice? Is that even possible?

I can easily speak in my mind, but it's just me, and I'm in total control. There are no other personas. I of course sometimes get spontaneous thoughts, sometimes even very unwanted ones, but they are my thoughts and I can easily dismiss them. I don't do dialogues in my mind, and there's no critique or negative feedback, just self-reflection. Thoughts in my mind do not keep me awake at night. I don't feel like I'm missing anything really.

It appears this is only for Hetzner cloud.

Hopefully this means dedicated servers will come soon.

For those unaware, Hetzner truly has unbeatable pricing. Pricing that's even substantially cheaper than OVH.

I welcome competition.

EDIT: what's odd is that on their FAQ [0] they state dedicated AMD servers are available in Ashburn, but when I go to their actual dedicated server page [1] - no US locations are listed for any dedicated offering.

Developer Maze charts – a way to manage expecations
Hey HN community, I want to introduce to you Photo Vault, we made our project with just 1 thing in mind:

To protect your private Photos and Videos .

All your data from Photo Vault is always end-to-end encrypted and your media files are never shared with anyone, even with us.

As you know many services are trying to add the possibility to scan our private videos and photos, sooner or later, it will be a reality. We think now more than ever, is very important to keep our photos and videos in a safe place.

Features in 1.5.0.

- Support for video files.
- iPad support.
- Possibility to move media files from one album to another.
- Possibility to import photos and videos in bulk.

Our To-Do list is full of amazing cool features that we plan to add in the near future, and we'd love to hear your feedback and ideas of how we can improve our project.

Smoking is a poor lifestyle choice. Deeply addictive with negative effects to your health in the long term, that much is clear.

Heroin and meth can destroy you in less than a year. Physically and economically. It will bankrupt you and turn you into a zombie, after which you will do anything at all for the next fix, crime included.

Smoking does none of these things. It doesn't even alter your state of mind nor do you get high. Smoking doesn't fuel violence in a way alcohol can, nor does it make you delirious in a way strong weed can.
These fail my litmus test, which is, "can a third-party look at the diagram and make sense of it without verbal explanation?"

All-you-can-eat is a simple concept. Everybody understands that.

No, not everybody does, which is why they have to have signs saying you can't take food home.

Unlimited is a different but equally simple concept with universally accepted meaning: no limits. Companies should not be able to twist this meaning while enjoying the benefits of their deceptive marketing.

"Unlimited backup (of data stored on the internal storage of a single personal-use laptop or desktop running Windows or MacOS X)" is not fundamentally different from "Bottomless coffee (consumed by one person only in a single visit)" or "A year's supply of fuel (really a $3000 balance fuel card)". There's a "reasonable person" standard here, and the man on the Clapham Omnibus knows that these sorts of offers have fine print which it behoves you to read.
They didn't build their own dc, so cost will be much higher than with their own data centers. Cloud has higher margins, I don't think they'll be able to offer dedicated servers at the same price. Maybe if cloud takes off there they use it as a basis to build their own data center though. But the one in Finland took a few years from their first announcement so I don't think this will come soon. I'd imagine we see other cloud locations in 3rd party data centers before that.
Here are the problems with this thing:

> The most important ingredient of ESADs is the intent of the author. ESADs generally do not happen organically. ESADs are the product of expertise, clear intentions, and specific goals.

Have you ever met an architect that had expertise, clear intentions, and specific goals? I haven't. They usually ask you things like "is your application stateful?" and then check a box for yes/no. Product owner maybe a little bit more likely, but still usually no.

> ESADs, in contrast, are created to be documentation. They are meant to be valuable in their own right and aren’t tied to a larger work like an article or presentation. Furthermore, they are intended to provide long-term value. ESADs are designed to be clear, precise, and comprehensive.

Documentation isn't necessarily clear, precise, and comprehensive. Documentation is a whole lot of things. And when you're designing architecture, you need a lot of different visualizations and representations of the system in different forms. User context, stakeholder context, data context, legal context, transaction context, availability context, operational context.

I like their idea of 'perspectives', as it can relate to the above different representations. But to get more and more detail, eventually you have to read the code, and at that point you should just point someone at the code, rather than try to shove it all into a diagram that nobody's going to maintain. If you're really lucky, someone will have made a system to turn the code into diagrams.

> Finally, ESADs should include inline notes for the sake of comprehensiveness. These notes help explain, in prose, things the perspectives themselves cannot. A two- to three-sentence summary for each perspective is ideal

But you might need tons and tons of notes to understand what you're looking at. A couple sentences isn't going to provide comprehensive, precise understanding of what you're looking at. But documentation, and architectural decision records, will. But if you include snippets of that in this other document, now you have documentation sprawl that won't be updated. Maybe you can provide URLs to the documentation as these snippets.

> Do not use drag-and-drop diagramming tools for creating ESADs.

Oh, so it can be super annoying and time-consuming to design your diagrams/architecture, great.

> Furthermore, diagrams created with drag-and-drop tools generally cannot be diff’d or merged.

They can if you support export to a diffable format!

> Ilograph defines diagrams using YAML

We're gonna capture all that multi-level highly-precise documentation in YAML? And how are you supposed to edit that - by hand in a text editor? You should never edit YAML by hand. If you have a tool to do the editing, you don't need to use YAML, which is both functionally limiting, and misleads users into thinking they should edit it by hand.
I’m running $2500 worth of servers on Hetzner privately since 2015 and about $400 worth of VMs on Hetzner Cloud. The only instance of issues with them was Hetzner locking the outgoing traffic of a VM after it started bursting a few million packets to the local network in an infinite loop. I called them, they explained it, I fixed it and they unblocked it. Pretty happy with Hetzner. The traffic that goes over some of my servers would be $50k+ per month on AWS.

Its rediscovery was very late.

Its initial discovery was not too late, but both Clifford and Maxwell died too young in 1879 and after their too early death there was no one left who could finalize the applications of this theory to physics.

In their absence, the geometric algebra theory was ignored and both the theory of vectors and the theory of electromagnetic field were simplified to forms which are good enough for restricted contexts, but which are nonetheless inconsistent and fail in more general cases (the so-called Maxwell differential equations are valid only in much more restricted conditions than the original integral equations of Maxwell).

As a child I have also learned the theory of vectors in the incorrect way, e.g. including the so-called "vectorial product", so I lost time later until understanding that it is not a vector, and then I lost more time until understanding that the so-called pseudovectors a.k.a. axial vectors and the so-called pseudoscalars are not independent entities that come from nowhere, but their existence is just the natural consequence of the properties of the vectors.

It would have been much more efficient if the complete theory of geometric algebra would have been taught from the beginning.

It was always kind of fun to watch visitors and transplants slowly realize that the country, while far from perfect, was actually nowhere near as bad as the dystopia they read about on sites like Reddit.

And of course, because Reddit is an American site that is majority American, most of said criticism comes from self-loathing Americans.

> With X, all monitors must share the same pix density

`xrandr` allows different per-output scaling.

For example if you have a 4k laptop and and 4k monitor that is 50% bigger than the laptop display, X will pretend that the monitor is 5760x3240 and scale down to the actual pixels.

Having said all that, I dislike scaled anything, so I choose a pixel density between the highest and lowest densities of my physical devices, and manually pick the font size of my terminals.
I agree, in fact I wish there was one more layer that separated layout from styling. Keep padding, but tear out flex box, grid, margin, etc and have a VFL like language instead.

Too be fair flex box and grid are pretty good. I just wish I didn't have to sometimes skim through huge CSS or SASS files to make layout changes.
