I'm not doing this, it's a thought experiment. I'm happy to stay with X for a long time if necessary.

But what you list is not enough, though. There are enough extra bits that goes well beyond what Wayland provides today, like ability to write a standalone wm without having to build a whole compositor, for example, that you'd end up with something quite substantially unlike Wayland if you went down that route and looked at which pieces of X11+extensions people are actually using. It'd be far less than full on legacy X11, but far more than just Wayland.

It doesn't matter if it's not X. Nobody but extreme purists would care if it's not exactly X. What will matter is if you lose capabilities.

E.g currently my preferred wm (bspwm) doesn't have a Wayland alternative, so a Wayland compositor isn't a viable option for me without changing my workflow. Sway might be nice, but it's different and I have no compelling reason to put in the effort to make a switch until running Xorg starts becoming problematic. One day, maybe I'll feel compelled to switch but it won't be soon.

Even so, Xorg will hang around for decades in the form of XWayland because of old X apps people still use (e.g. none of the terminals I have installed on my system except for gnome-terminal supports Wayland).

Thing is, what you are doing is NOT a standup meeting.

The reason it is called standup it was because the meeting was literally done standing, the idea was to force people to talk as quickly as possible whatever needed urgently and make them leave because they are tired of standing in one place.

What you are doing is some kind of daily meeting, but not a standup in any sense.
Oh, definitely. It’s woefully underinvested and hasn’t seen large scale expansion in decades despite population growth. Not to mention the number of accessible stations is abysmal.
Teams certainly set a new benchmark for dumpster fires.
Here is the formerly dead comment[1]. I just vouched for it so it is no longer dead. I'm not sure why you would agree with the quoted portion and disagree with the rest. The rest is documented historical fact.[2]

Warzone was really good for a minute. But they failed to address the hackers and the pay2win got really obvious after a while.
Yeah shame is a real weird thing to feel. I've been in plenty of positions where the ask is honestly "a body [who can code]". I fulfill that requirement so it's not a shock they'd want that and be interested and doesn't really say anything about me (or the person receiving the offer). My main feeling based on that would be pretty inline with the article: what's going on with this company/project where that's the bar and what will I be doing day to day for it?

If I can choose to work somewhere that wants my skillset and not just someone who can code and lead other coders I will almost certainly enjoy, be more interested in, and grow more from the former. Then again, in absolute terms, starting from zero in something might be more of a learning opportunity in a way.

So you’re saying that I was correct. Good to know.
I tried to write a raycast [1] in JavaScript once, I used lines instead of the traditional grid, but it end up messy and with weird texture artifacts. Still, I would like one day to come back to this and do a proper job.

Early diagnosis can give a false impression by increasing the time between when you're diagnosed and when you die, simply by bringing forward the former without changing the latter.

However, for diseases like Hodgkins where we have what is in effect just a cure, albeit a fairly drastic one (I had Hodgkins in my mid-20s, I'm now in my 40s) clearly early diagnosis isn't just playing with the statistics. If I hadn't been diagnosed, they couldn't cure it, and then I'd almost certainly just be dead.

So the answer is it's complicated.
I was a retail hiring manager for years, this is 100% accurate. If I got a reference from someone who I worked with who I already knew wasn't human garbage and were willing to make the reference, that's the interview over.

I had to hire quantity. Like 100+ temp employees in two months. I didn't have time to waste on interviewing people who already checked out via a trusted source.
I decline PSA tests. That said, there's no family history.
No.

Shitty MANAGEMENT might be, but a true standup / checkin that follows actual agile/scrum methodology is FINE.

Key here is that it's SHORT. What are you working on, what's next, are you blocked, do you need help from a team member? Ok, next.

Remember it's called STANDUP because the whole thing should be short enough that nobody needs to sit down.

To address what parent post asked in the first sentence though: Is it "aggression"? Isn't that like calling "a dirty look" a "microrape"?

I'm not saying I don't understand how it can be an unwelcome experience to be touched and prodded, but "microaggression" is a term out there like "silence is violence" and "words are violence" in the possibly most literal real-life version of Orwell's writings, even (in its overtness) possibly outweighing the real life society he was describing at the time.
Perhaps the moderation can consider changing the title to "GitHub names new CEO as Nat Friedman steps down"?
disagree. Honest exasperation over the constant fakeness in the industry and how corporate it has become is valuable in the sense that it at least expresses a genuine emotion, something that can't be said about the empty but faux-civil communication that is 99% of the tech industry nowadays with its constant need to pat its own back.
> what you're dancing around is linear independence

Thanks! That was a "ohhhhhh of course!" moment for me.

At least that's more succinct and I don't see a way to cheat it.
You really don't want to use Xrandr information to do scaling, it's not accurate. A better way would be to set a property on the window and have the compositor read that, AFAIK this is the solution that the Kwin developers were working on.
Wow, that's a LOT of trust to put in the operating system and communications links. These things will be hacked, it's just a question of time.

I avoided using my password manager's 2fa for quite some time for the same argumentation...

But when I realised the 'something you have' is the password manager (actually, the data store) itself, and the 'thing I know' is my master password (and not the individual site's password) I've started using it for 2fa.
I can still see how the subscription version of 1password stretches that definition though (because you don't actively have unique ownership of the data itself), which is why I use keepass now.

Just like a dongle, your pc is not immune to evil maid if left unattended. My threat model isn't inclusive of that (my threats come from the internet - I live rurally).

Requiring your phone for 2fa (google auth or sms 2fa or other) isn't a panacea either, especially if that's the device you're logging in with.

I wish Google would allow setting 2fa without a phone number...
GOOGLE is literally forcing people to use their products. Their entire business strategy is based around it, gobbling up or destroying every competitor, advertising and promoting their own services on search above others, illegally collaborating with other giant tech companies, and on and on. That's how monopolies work. That's the whole point.

>Still not going to amputate my leg over a stubbed toe even if RMS considers the toe cancer.

I didn't say you should. I worded what I wrote specifically to indicate that I'm not passing any judgement on whether you made the right choice or the wrong choice.

There are many people who bought nvidia GPUs because they worked fine, and were rightfully worried that they'd stop working fine if their DE of choice decided to switch to wayland or became abandoned. I empathize with their situation completely.

All I'm saying is that you made the choice to buy hardware that requires a proprietary driver, and so you have to live with the consequences of that choice. This is not something unique to this situation involving nvidia GPUs. Only you have the right to decide whether it was a good choice or a bad one.
sway and wlroots have some of the worst error handling I've ever seen in C code. The number of null pointer bugs and assertion bugs is just mind-boggling. I don't really understand how hard it is to just gracefully handle errors. Literally no one would prefer to crash their entire desktop environment rather than have it silently skip over errors and output them to a log.

I recently used i3 again because my office computer has an NVIDIA GPU and sway doesn't support NVIDIA (yes I'm aware of the new GBM API, it's not ready yet and I don't care anymore anyway). It made me realize how much more gracefully i3 handles a lot of things, and also a few things it really doesn't (but that's more the fault of X11, not i3).

It's disappointing that the defacto library for Wayland is wlroots given those bugs.

I'm surprised the author does not mention taking steps to verify the "unique University of Texas protocol" hypothesis.

Zig's "general purpose allocator" achieves use-after-free protection by quarantining memory pages forever: i.e. it never reuses heap addresses. This is unsuitable for production because keeping even a single 16 byte allocation alive on a 4kB page will leak the whole page.

If it were possible to solve use-after-free this way, Microsoft/Apple/Google would have done it long ago for C++.

Only above 14th Street, and even then, that ignores e.g. Broadway which has a bunch of really frustrating-to-drive intersections with a ton of pedestrian traffic

A year in Manhattan has significantly more variability in weather conditions than a year in Phoenix or San Francisco

> no two-way traffic lanes to cross

There are undoubtedly significantly more one-ways in Manhattan than many other cities but two-way streets absolutely still exist, most of the wider streets in the grid system are two-way, so's Houston

Good ramen, but not a good place for an introvert, in my experience. First is the interminable wait in line. If you survive that and place your order, seating is hell. If you are by yourself, you will be forced to sit at the bar so close to other patrons you are practically in their lap on a stool made to torture a monk. If you are worthy of a table seat by having friends, then you are in one of those fashionable metal seats invented by Torquemada’s welder buddies.
> Edit: Also, Apple should promote the "three finger drag" Accessibility setting to the Trackpad settings. It's far superior to all other drag-via-the-touchpad options, IMO.

The three finger drag is what I configure first, and it’s one thing I sorely miss on a new Windows laptop. Windows 10 gestures seem so primitive in comparison. I agree that this should be enabled by default on macOS.
That's fair. It is interesting when you look at other types of farewell post over the years/decade on HN (mostly open source projects or programming langs). There is definitely a tendency to favor those types versus corporate ones.
No such thing. Other poster had a good idea, duplicate everything every ten years. I suspect flash drives will have the best longevity in the medium term however.
Not sure I understand the hate on tap to click? A single tap has always felt more responsive than a forced click, especially when clicking on a larger trackpad that has to have a large percentage of the pad actuated.

I think the use of multiple fingers is a better solution than an arbitrary click length. Two finger tap for extra options has been a game changer for me.
The entire userspace is X32 in the X32 case, you can't link a x64 binary to a x32 libc.
> if you can't change something

Oh, but I can change something. If you remember having this discussion last year, it was ”worked on feature X yesterday. Will continue to work on feature X today. No blockers.” To which I pointed out that the "No blockers" part serves no purpose as if anyone had a known blocker, they would have already let the team know when it became a blocker, not wait for a fixed time of day. It is not coincidence that the last part isn't said today.

Today, I am here to share that the rest of the canned response is also useless.

Build camaraderie. Actually talk about the work you are doing with your teammates. These things can be beneficial and you'll still get the same non-verbal cues if there is something afoot. Don't waste valuable time on nothingness.
This feels like a fundamental mismatch between his expectations as an internal recruiter vs external recruiters

> built the technical recruitment operations in the last 3 start-ups I worked for, so I feel I’m somewhat qualified in the subject matter

Sure, your startup might have some very tight requirements for a position and the ability to research candidates before conversations. That's precisely what you should do since time is limited and (presumably) you're not hiring for a TON of positions

But an external recruiter needs to match X jobs to Y candidates. It almost doesn't matter what the tech stack is at that point, you probably have an open position to fill that'll match that person. It's a numbers game and it's a "Please respond to me at any cost" game.

And often, even if you did research, there are so many false negatives that it didn't even matter to begin with. I've had targeted recruiters reach out to me that are amazed when my current position doing $CURRENT_TECH isn't completely representative of my skills and I'm actually a viable candidate for $NEW_JOB_WITH_OTHER_TECH

The only real response here is to cut em some slack or ignore them. Guides like these don't help
America prosecutes American hackers who hack foreign nationals. This already gives them the moral high ground over their peers. See: Russian ransomware gangs that are de facto state sponsored. Cyberspace is a new frontier that wasn't built to conform to your sense of right and wrong.

I've always thought the trackpads on the "large" Mac portables looked huge. Looking at Apple's product website, if you scroll down far enough[1], you can see the trackpad on the 16" extends as far left as the middle of the 'S' key, and as far right as the middle of the semicolon. On the 2020 13" M1 Air I'm typing this on, the trackpad only goes as far as the left edge of the "C" key (sorry, non-EN-US-UK keyboard users), and as far right as the right edge of the "," key. I'd like a better side-by-side of the 14" vs 16", but it looks like my employer is going 16"-only so my next machine will have this huger-than-ever trackpad. I don't have stray input issues (yet), but would prefer the trackpad stay the same size or even shrink slightly.

1. What's with Apple's fetish for photos taken only at the perfect geometric extreme angle? Virtually all of their photos refuse to show the laptop except from perfectly perpendicular to the front edge of the case. It's hard to see ANYTHING useful. I ran into this problem where I bought the 'wrong' thunderbolt adapter, because the product pages DON'T SHOW THE CONNECTOR ON THE DEVICE YOU'RE BUYING, just the top-down photo of a white box.
I've been using it with tap-to-click for years now and never had an issue with random clicks.

I have very little hope for the price for these things to come down to prosumer levels. The best I can hope for is for local libraries to have one available for use (although you need like 8 hours to fill the 5.5 TB maximum and they're so expensive you don't want to lend them out). However, I have very little hope for that as well since most consumers are just told to use the cloud.
I've never had an issue with palm rejection, and overall, I love the Macbook trackpad.

The only issue I've had is that during the years I used a mid-2012 MBP, I developed a habit of resting the tips of my fingers just below the spacebar. For years there was just enough space there to make that possible. Now there isn't, and I still get the occasional issue when my fingers go back to that spot out of habit.

Cool, yes. Novel, I don't know. It seems to be a mashup of a couple templating languages and JS frameworks.
I have fine motor control that is, at least, not worse than average.

I nonetheless have to turn off all the fancy "3d click" stuff on Mac trackpads, or else my click-drag-drop operations go from ~100% success to more like 40% success.

Took me a while to figure out WTF was wrong, the first time I got a Mac with that "feature". So please, no, no-one rely on this when writing software.
I love tap to click!

I should be able to have tap to click, and no accidental clicks. The best of both worlds, just like I used to, when the trackpad was a reasonable size.

A larger trackpad also means a greater distance from the edge of the case to the keyboard, meaning more of your wrists have to be elevated to type. I find typing on the 14" to better for this, despite no palm rejection issues with the 16".

I've seen quite a few instances where a mongo deployment using both of those can comfortably be replaced by a single postgres primary (on about the same hardware as a single member of the mongo cluster) with a couple of read replicas and a connection balancer.

There are absolutely mongodb deployments out there that are at sufficient scale that they genuinely need those features in any storage backend, but I suspect the vast majority of them only need those features to work around mongo's mediocre straight line performance.

How close this comes to counting as "almost all" is of course highly arguable.

I often unintentionally clicked it because of the way I held my hands dangling over it. I'm not sure if that was just how I preferred to hold my hands, or I was subconsciously scared of resting the heels of my hands directly on it while typing.
