The article is saying that China flies planes over its airspace. The state of the media today.

This has nothing to do with Taiwans airspace. The invented arbitrary concept of Taiwan's air defence identification zone (ADIZ) includes even the Chinese mainland. So Chinese planes flying over the Chinese mainland are counted as flying over Taiwan ADIZ.

From the article about nothing:

The aircraft have never entered Taiwanese airspace or crossed over Taiwanese territory. And the tempo at which the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) and People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) are sending planes into the air does not necessarily indicate improvements in China’s airpower modernization and capabilities.

It's also at 010.010.2056 or 0x8080808 or 01002004010. I made a little tool a while ago that iterates over all the options that I know of:

https://lucb1e.com/randomprojects/php/funnip.php?ip=8.8.8.8

The variant found by OP is apparently the very last option that my tool generates. These days, Firefox is a bit boring (okay, okay, I'll admit it's a good choice for security) and translates these at the first opportunity. Even hyperlinks are translated on hover in the 'status bar' (if we can still call it that). For mobile users, this is what it shows when you paste one of those addresses in Firefox: https://snipboard.io/kbLTso.jpg
> I really don't know what else to tell you. Like I said, GTK4 and Qt are already using it. Chrome/Electron is using it, and Firefox will have it very soon.

Well, then don't repeat exactly the same argument. The point is that most desktop software _as of this day_ does not use client-side rendering, and even less desktop software uses OpenGL for rendering. Most of them are using plain classic widgets. We find some exceptions, but this is hardly enough to claim that most desktop software uses OpenGL, not in 2020, much less in 2000s.

> I can think of several: KDE Connect, KSysGuard, System Settings, Kamoso, Kongress,

While KDE Connect and Kongress do have some qml for the interface ( https://invent.kde.org/deepakarjariya/kdeconnect-kde/-/tree/... ) , I have not been able to find any QML whatsoever for the rest (e.g. https://github.com/KDE/ksysguard ).

Kongress looks like a widget anyway. You can easily recognize these programs by how poorly they integrate with the rest of KDE, and I definitely do not see them with any frequency at all.

> This happened in GNOME 40 so your distro may be behind.

So, apparently, gnome-shell uses it through GJS, which is why I can't find any binary linking directly to gtk4. It's still literally one user.

> No, the image backend is probably what you would consider the default because it works everywhere and can be used for off-screen rendering.

The xlib backend is obviously also capable of off-screen rendering, otherwise all hell would break loose. And the xlib backend is still the default.

Seriously: https://github.com/GNOME/gtk/blob/master/gdk/x11/gdksurface-... .

Why don't you just try? It's not hard to get into a situation where you don't have a working OpenGL environment and _all_ software still works. It's not hard to measure the bandwidth used for indirect X. Etc. Etc.

>Similarly, all the household tasks then would take a full working day.

Not even close.

Try visiting a rural place that still lives in pre-20th century standards (not as hard as it sounds in Central Asia, Africa, etc. Heck, even in most of Europe it was the norm up around the 1950s in almost all rural areas, and in many places in Southern Europe it was quite the same up to the 1970s -- electricity and cars didn't come to lots of rural areas until that decade).

In any case, household tasks were an insignificant amount of the day.

(Also, contrary to the modern myth, both men and women worked. "Women not working" was a thing for richer families, in poor and rural households women worked just fine, in the same fields and tasks as men - and of course this continued in the industrial era, poor women working in factories was standard. Women "not allowed to work" was a rich-household's problem).

As for the kids, aside from school (where that was compulsory, since I include here the 20th century European rural experience), after quite a small age, like 3-4 they mostly roamed around playing and were taken care for by the whole community - not many struggling "parents without nunnies" or helicopter parenting there. And after getting around 10 or so they'd start helping with some chores too.

Kids in industrialized nations had it worse. In the 19th century to about 1930, from Paris and London to New York, there were 8-10-12 year old kids working in the chimneys, the factories, even the mines:

Natural increase has essentially stopped. Immigration helps but there are probably not going to be enough immigrants to keep growing for much longer unless the US starts allowing Canada-level immigration (see that growth curve steadily decreasing). It will take a while though, probably another 40 years or so until the US sees declines, but growth rates will collapse in the coming decades unless demographic trends change.

>I heard about a hack I never tried, myself, where you buy an oversized hard drive and only use the beginning of it.

It's actually kind of funny that "just using the beginning 25%" of the drive is completely unnecessary provided you've got your partitions set up properly- you just create a partition at the beginning of the disk that has the data you want to access the quickest, and use the end of the disk for data that you don't access coincident with the data you want to get the fastest (a perfect place to put a dual-booted Linux install, for instance).
I don't think he'd be surprised at America either.

He wrote about America at some length, and accurately pointed out that America's ties to Europe would only last as long as there was free land west of the original colonies to take and give to its growing population, after which America would develop a factory working proletariat just as Europe had after the decline of feudalism, and then be far less welcoming of European immigrants as it sought to preserve the wealth the existing residents had built for themselves. In that respect his theory was proven true. Capital, not any sort of continental or feudal allegiance or concern for the future, would be the driving ideology.

"Money, then, appears as this distorting power both against the individual and against the bonds of society, etc., which claim to be entities in themselves. It transforms fidelity into infidelity, love into hate, hate into love, virtue into vice, vice into virtue, servant into master, master into servant, idiocy into intelligence, and intelligence into idiocy.

Since money, as the existing and active concept of value, confounds and confuses all things, it is the general confounding and confusing of all things – the world upside-down – the confounding and confusing of all natural and human qualities."

It's a remedy for existing discrimination. For example, if for a job we have 100 candidates in group A and 100 in group B, and we only hire from group A, then requiring some hiring from group B likely increases the hiring based on merit and decreases discrimination.

Nomad has native support for periodic jobs that does not require running a cron docker image, and that was a big draw. As far as the private registry goes, I don't see why that would be particularly hard with a set of compose scripts, but I really liked the fact that Nomad has everything about them documented.

Honestly, if I had stuck with Compose files then Harbormaster looks like it's a reasonable way to manage them. But I felt like everything I wanted to do was just a little bit more difficult when I was using them, especially after comparing to Nomad.

Not quite: the workweek described still sounds like at least 40 hours.

What the article says is that they had a shorter work week than many people did during the early/middle years of the industrial revolution. Modern day capitalism, while significantly flawed, seems to have moved on from that early horror: I have ancestors from ~100 years ago that died of black lung after spending decades of 60-70 hours/week in coal mines.

The author also ignores the time outside of "work" necessary to keep a household going. Time spent outside of the fields wasn't just idle time: everything from cooking to home maintenance was added labor that would eat away at those off hours more so than similar tasks today.

And sure, today some people still have no choice but to work long hours, and some people choose to do so, but I imagine that was the case in the supposedly more idyllic workers' environment described by the author as well.

Other aspects of these claims of a more leisurely life are refuted here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.adamsmith.org/blog/regulati...

We also shouldn't forget the conditions of work & life for the average person. Peasantry was certainly a big step above out & out slavery but freedom was still significantly curtailed. There was not for example universal freedom of movement. Absent approval by the local lord, a person was bound to the land they were born on. The quality of low/middle justice for what rights people did have was highly variable & subject to capricious whims at times. (Which isn't to say that's a completely solved problem today though)

All of which is to say that workday hours, even granting the author's central thesis (which I don't), are not the yardstick to use when measuring quality of life. At best it's just one data point in the constellation of factors involved.
What for? I'm sure you have some older computers that run much better that you already have in your house. An APU would trounce it.

"Acceptable: Somebody accepts it."

Once you are talking about tradeoffs, it's game over. The question is, do you want to have spent your programming career writing crap code? Or do you want to make each thing you do be something you can be proud of, that is better than you would have done last week?

There is always something that could be done to make code faster, or shorter, more parallel, or line up columns better. What matters is whether you are pushing yourself to improve every day. If you improve yourself by discovering ways to make code fast, you will always find new ways to improve, and your improvements will also often make life better for other people.

If the quality of your code has no effect on anybody's life, it is time to find something else to code.

Tragically, Google is gradually moving to hardware-backed attestation, which is nearly impossible to bypass in most cases: https://www.xda-developers.com/safetynet-hardware-attestatio...

SafetyNet is, of course, anti-user and unacceptable. Random developers on the Play Store have the audacity to demand that you use a Google-approved OS on your phone if you want to use their apps. But "Google-approved" just means "proprietary". For example, GrapheneOS is leaps and bounds more secure than any Samsung ROM, yet Samsung's ROMs are Google-approved, and GrapheneOS is not. Google also releases vanilla AOSP builds for Pixel phones without Google apps, but these are not "Google-approved" according to SafetyNet, either.

Besides, no corporation should get to influence what OS you choose to run on your device. As the user, you should make the decision whether to trust a custom OS or not on your own. That's how it works on PCs. You are warned of the risks at every stage of the process of installing a custom ROM, from the moment you enable "OEM unlocking" in developer settings. You're even greeted with a non-hideable warning to remind you that the OS is not OEM every bootup [1]. (I think this is good, by the way. It also protects those buying used phones, which is another silly argument I've heard in favor of SafetyNet. IMHO, if you continue using a phone that warns you every bootup that it's unsafe, you deserve to be hacked.)

Google says they're doing all this for the sake of user security, but I find it very suspicious that it also happens to make de-Googling your phone much harder (if you rely on apps that rely on SafetyNet, like most Android banking apps).

The article says "50 BTC worth $5 million", and mentions that a couple of other on-the-order-of-10 BTC wallets have come online in the recent past.

How much influence would dumping 50 BTC on the market have? Is it like Bill Gates MSFT stock, where if he sold a large amount, the price would drop? Or if Satoshi sold his/her/their BTC would the market just absorb it?
For context, this is referring to Hal Finney, who was active in the early Bitcoin community but later died of ALS and had his brain cryopreserved. Whether or not he was Satoshi, this is certainly a clever solution to the "what incentive will people in the future have to resurrect cryopatients" problem!

"Ruining their lives" is likely a bit too strong of language, but the potential negative influence of Facebook and complete lack of privacy is certainly becoming something of common knowledge, and yet people continue to use it. As a society you can make a pretty strong argument that it's been a net negative, and yet we're apparently unable to do anything about it. The whole enterprise of maximizing engagement positions some of the smartest minds in tech to maximize qualities of addiction.

> But if we are going to be honest about why Facebook is becoming the public whipping boy, it's because Boomers who voted for Donald Trump used Facebook to talk loudly about why they like Donald Trump.

This seems a dishonest oversimplification.
