> Sure, but semantic versioning really is the wrong kind of versioning to use for a language.

A language or API (things you program against) are pretty much the things for which SemVer makes sense.

> The major version should represent major language changes, not whether its a breaking change or not

I don’t care if changes are “major”, I care if the code I wrote for version X is expected to need modification to work correctly in version Y. SemVer gives me that, Subjective Importance Versioning does not.

Some questions from someone who is obsessed with getting 0 frames of latency:

>the one frame of added latency with compositing and game VSync does not apply to Wayland

I thought that on X with vsync disabled, a fullscreen game will write pixels directly to the framebuffer on the gpu without going through the x server / compositor, so there will be 0 frames of delay. Is this correct?

> application contents can be put directly on the screen with the display hardware (which is called “direct scanout”. You may have heard the X related term “unredirection” used for the same thing, too).

So on a machine running wayland, direct scanout would let a fullscreen game render directly to the framebuffer without any copying, compositing, color remapping, etc etc, just pure pixel data to the screen without any intermediate steps, right?

And how does this work exactly, like does the program that wants to render to the screen have to call some API function to explicitly opt-in to direct scanout? Because most games, even the ones designed to run on linux, are not aware of wayland.

Also I think something is up with the final measurements, on his 120hz monitor one frame of latency is about 8 ms, but the lowest he ever measured was 19ms so it seems like something is adding at least a frame of latency.

Maybe a piece of JavaScript on the opened page could close the page? In that case you would see the page open and then immediately close. Though it may seem to some users that their rating submission failed.

I should probably add more useful information to the opened page. Right now it says "You will see more content from 2 RSS feeds and 3 people that recommended this". But I could add links to the item details page that has related recommendations. Or I could add links to the RSS feeds so you could explore them more.
Since wages are a component of inflation, it doesn't change middle class purchasing power. It only affects the middle class to the extent they are creditors, and then only if inflation is a surprise. Peer-to-peer lending isn't a big market, yet.
I thank Go team, that the major version was not increased. You can't imagine how much wider adoption of generics will be as compared if Go went to version 2.0 There are thousands of under-educated and overly-cautious software development managers who would prevent their teams from upgrading to a major version of Go until it is "proven".
When it comes to developers there are two types who read changelogs and would know their tool well and take advantage of every small change in each minor version and then there are those who are there for the money, they will find out about a new feature only if manager instructs them to use it.
If TLS signed the messages with a public key, you put any TLS conversation on-chain immediately. Some web2 apis already implement signed responses that can be used in this way. TLS doesn't though, so you have a provenance problem. You can prove the integrity of the data but not the participants of the conversation. I'm building the piece that works with TLS to add identity verification.
One will not know, but the downside risk is greater if you must at least believe.

Is there any particular reason a woman cannot lead a prayer?

Is there any particular reason why we exchange work for money?

For each of those, the answer may be yes or no depending on your time and place.

The reason yes or the reason no may also be different.

I would definitely consider a language to be an API. Using semantic versioning makes perfect sense; because it communicates to consumers of the language which versions will require them to change their source code and which will not.
>The game warden probably doesn't give a shit about your weed (unless you were high/drunk while carrying/using a firearm); he cares about whether you shot a deer when you weren't supposed to

No organization gives up or manages out its best and brightest. I trust your average beat cop not to be a power tripping jerk a lot more than I trust the average game warden.

This goes for all the "second rate" law enforcement agencies, DEA, ATF, Port Authority, blue helmets. Some of those guys truly believe in the mission (and I sympathize with these guys, caring about the mission in an organization where 1/10th to 1/2 of people have "settled" for the job is terrible). Some of those guys are just clock punchers. But a disturbing number of those guys quit or got managed out of the state police, FBI or whatever for shoot/taze/beat first ask questions later behavior that tends to result in dismissed charges which tend to result in poor performance reviews.

> You should investigate all the normal reasons a fence would be there, and if no extant reason turns up, tear down the fence

No, you should give up the idea that you can justify tearing down the fence by any intellectual investigation. If you really believe it would be better if the fence came down, then you need to work to convince everyone who has an interest in the fence to agree with you. If you succeed, then the fence will come down on its own without you having to force anything. And if you don't succeed, perhaps your belief that it would be better if the fence came down was wrong.
There seem to be many more examples along the same lines:

– Managers not talking about potential M&A or layoffs to avoid distracting the team.

– Leaders not talking about their backup plans to avoid demoralizing their organizations.

– Athletes not talking about strategy and tactics to avoid tipping off opponents.

– Investors and traders not talking about ideas and methods to maintain their edge.

– Business owners not talking about outsized returns to avoid attracting competition.

– Economic leaders not talking about systemic risks where widespread awareness would increase likelihood of occurrence.

– Politicians not talking about policies known to be ineffective but implemented to placate voters.

– Members of exclusive groups not talking about internal dynamics to maintain exclusivity.

This is a transcript of a Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob) talk with some substitutions made (SmallTalk -> Haskell, Ruby -> Rust, and others). The original talk was mediocre; the changes haven't improved it.
As the non-affiliated grow, this poll is starting to create more questions than answers. I think the vast mix of responses in this comments section shows that.

In the 2021 NPORS, 4% of respondents describe themselves as atheists (up from 2% in 2011), and 5% describe themselves as agnostics (up from 3% a decade ago). One-in-five U.S. adults (20%) now describe their religion as “nothing in particular,”

In the same way the poll is curious about Protestant vs. Catholic, and Mainline vs Evangelical/Born Again, I'd sure like to know a little bit more about the "nothing in particular" group - especially when 13% of them are praying on a daily basis. Who are the two percent of people responding to this survey who have no religion and pray every day?

Is it none because they think religion is evil? Are they indifferent? Are they spiritual but think organized religion is unnecessary? Are they unaffiliated for intellectual reasons? Or have they never been exposed to religion at all and are mildly curious?
I'm primarily a Ubuntu user but I there are certain design elements of macOS that I appreciate. It's a common theme in reddit for users to post the desktop environments with a macOS skin and state no reason to use a mac now - but the workflow differences extend far beyond the look of an empty desktop with no windows open.

When working portably, macOS is my preferred OS.

I'm not sure about KDE, but Gnome's experience is severely degraded when outputting to an external monitor with different display scaling. Without Wayland there is horrendous screen tearing but pipewire isn't trivial to install which makes screen sharing while WFH problematic. Intel WiFi drivers are a hot mess. There are numerous other QoL differences.

While Gnome supports dynamic workspaces, the workflow is very keyboard based and without Wayland gestures aren't native (e.g. smooth scrolling between workspaces) - AFAIK the only solution is to emulate keyboard shortcuts which is quite jarring given a decade plus of having super responsive smartphones - but Wayland without pipewire is problematic for screensharing, etc ..

>Wayland is also missing that one cool feature that makes people say: yes, I want that; I need that.

Its new! That's good enough for a lot of adopters. Gamers (on linux lol) might care about graphics. Wayland is however feature rich in having more people see it as a less functional software and when I tried it, I appreciated x.org more and more.

Edit: Gnome and wayland give slow mouse movements and can crash if you move mouse too fast.

You’re right - I think I was misremembering the details and it was something like a poisoned supply chain leading to people who thought they had bought the real thing shipping devices that ended up breaking or something.

This graph seems to be correlated. I think humans are still irrational species and trying to make us 100% rational has some consequences. I think religion is something good to keep people calm and caring about each other and helps mentally keep up with real world issues. Couldn't find similar graph for burnout rate, but from what I read recently it is increasing every year as well.

Highest probabilistic chance is that there is no afterlife.

Like when you are in deep anaesthesia during serious surgery. The one without dreams (no lights at the end of the tunnel). They switch you off and when everythings goes ok switch you on again. Your mind is in void. When you wake up it was just moment for you. Nothing in between. Whet if surgery goes bad? You think that you are going to wake up in to the death? Void is bigger card.

Or the void we all experienced. The one before you was born.

Edit: obviously I'm talking about my believes here.
Not diagnosed, but it seems to just fit my experience so well.
I would guess Europeans cook more than Americans, since the average disposable income is less in Europe. Beyond that, I'm unwilling to generalize over Europe. HN people are unlikely to be typical on either continent.

I do know a European with two ovens. It's very unusual, but they really like cooking. Even so, they only use the second oven rarely -- perhaps roasting meat in one, and baking in the other. The additional oven was installed after seeing two ovens in a kitchen on a trip to the USA.
Then Web3 doesn't exclusively benefit speculators.

So it boils down to blockchains taking too much electricity?
The problem, though, is that SQL standard treats NULL as unknown or as missing. One word for two meanings.

For example, AVG(col) and COUNT(col) treat it as a missing value (NULLs do not alter the average or the count), but 1 + NULL treats it as an unknown value (the result is unknown). The complete list of NULL-related inconsistencies would be long.

It would have been better to use different words for different semantics, or not implementing NULL at all. Also, in some cases it can lead to poor query performance.
> Currently, 60% of Protestants say “yes” when asked whether they think of themselves as a “born-again or evangelical Christian,”

So, the data comes from self-reporting, not from an external or objectively calibrated method.

This makes it difficult to interpret the trend line of this data.

Are we observing a shift in religiosity, or a change in the definition of the terms?

I agree. It's a bit odd that I just learned generics were added. I expect minor bumps in language versions to be uneventful. Additionally, I expect a language to essentially never introduce breaking changes, so semantic versioning isn't really telling me anything.
Not being able to customize built-in containers is a huge win in terms of readability though. Principle of least surprise and all.

If I see a map or slice I know exactly how it behaves, how much memory it consumes, what the runtime behavior is. If you make those generics instead then I have literally no fucking clue what's going on.
I'm sure the common person likes the Freedom to Roam, but those of us who live on farms and like our seclusion it would be a nightmare.
I thought about including PSR but the article's take is still mostly accurate in that you do still send pixel by pixel, row by row, in the case of a panel with PSR. Just the panel then remembers those pixels.

On something like an ARM SoC where this is all unified memory, I couldn't entirely remember where exactly PSR sat. In that case you could argue the transfer is an atomic switch to a different buffer, but I thought the PSR memory was still a different segment even in that case.
And if you can still transmit the disease even after getting the shot, then it doesn't protect those people anyway. They will still have to exercise whatever caution is necessary to protect themselves, which they would have to do anyway, because there are other diseases as well.
Your claim is reasonable for the extremely low probability events, but the fact that you brought it up here makes me think you're missing the larger point.

The last few levels have been dealing with CST-100, not SpaceX so I'll try to continue that thread to be more coherent and then touch on the SpaceX example.

Here's all that's really needed to capture the CST-100 issue:

1) Valve A is listed a "must" requirement. E.g., "Valve A must work when commanded".

2) As a "must" requirement, there is a test plan that covers that operation (again, another requirement).

Safety-critical development is driven by formal requirements more than many other types of software. Requirement #2 can happen any number of ways. If they decide to meet that requirement via simulator, they need to ensure the simulator is of sufficient fidelity to ensure #1 is met. This fidelity would mean that the simulator valves are mapped to the correct simulator commands. To answer your question directly, I would expect every "must" and "must not" requirement to be tested; any that aren't would be suspect for potential failure. If you can get me a list of requirements (ideally, with a failure modes effects analysis or hazard analysis) and associated test plans, then I can give you a list of potential failures.

So the question becomes: would you be okay with a test plan that doesn't check that a software command is received to meet a simple but critical high level requirement? Do you think a test plan that misses such a simple test is within an acceptable risk envelope? This isn't some low-probability event, but a test error that can be traced to a very simple requirement that wasn't tested.

With SpaceX, supplier quality has been a major point in aerospace for decades. I've worked in organizations that have rigorous procurement processes that check for such things, including audits of manufacturing facilities for critical items. Could the supplier forge the certifications and the system fail because of it? Sure, but that's not the case here. The checks just didn't happen. Materials checks are extremely common, even on small items like bolts let alone large structural components. Likewise, I would expect any non-checked critical procurement to have a higher level of risk in producing a failure.

This isn't about predicting some random, unheard of failure or ex ante stock prediction. It's about due-diligence on well-understood risks.
good lord get over yourself
its interesting to see catholic tick up a bit as protestantism continues to decline

Anecdotally in christian circles there is a sense that the liberal churches are in big big decline , like methodism , anglicism , other liberal protestants. But churches that are more conservative ( baptist non denom, latin mass catholic ) are growing ( especially amongst the young ).
As I mainly reverse automative hardware, I care about only Tricore, C167, SuperH, and PowerPC, in that order - which means Binary Ninja is out for me for the time being!

Thanks for the post though, as I did look into adding a new Architecture and the setup for defining a new ISA is much simpler than it is in even Ghidra/SLEIGH, so kudos to that. Maybe if I find myself with a lot of free time I will try adding something.
My point is that without establishing the beachhead in the consumer market that IBM did, the clones wouldn't have had anything to work off of. I'm sure Compaq and others would've been years behind if they had started from scratch, but I'd actually like to know more about that potential alternative history.
It's not like the religious and non-religious communities reproduce solely by having kids - this trend is driven by religious parents having non-religious children, and also there's the opposite phenomenon; IMHO the choices the teenagers and young adults make far outweigh any difference in fertility rates.

It sounds like they are trying to imply it was his land without actually stating as such (because it was likely just over the property border).
Those are social behaviours.

Isn't religiosity also (primarily?) a personal experience, founded on a form of (learned) introspection?
In what way is it new age whackery? In his book Novacene he describes it non-mystically; a planet with two kinds of daisy. As the planet cools, the dark petalled daisy thrives and absorbs light and radiates heat into the atmosphere. The atmosphere warms. The dark daisy doesn't do so well in warmth, the pale daisy thrives. It reflects sunlight before it can be turned to heat. The planet cools. The dark daisy blooms. The daisys adjust the planetary environment and temperature through feedback loops, not through new-age whackery or Mother Nature/deity intelligent planning.

He comments that such a thing happens on Earth and that if we were looking at Earth from outside, we would think it uninhabited because it is too close to the Sun to be in the Goldilocks Zone and appears too hot, radiating too much heat - but it's the radiating of all that heat which is what keeps Earth cool enough for life.

(And that it's the feedback systems which are old, inflexible and stretching past their limits which is going to cause life problems with overheating).
Perhaps not, but it's clear that reduced police funding and enforcement hasn't been working...so I think it's a natural shift in the other direction from leadership. While I'm sure many in SF will be disappointed by this, many others will probably be much happier.
I'm just not going to use it. X works fine and it will still be working fine in 10 years. I don't care or even know what purported benefits Wayland will bring, because I don't need any benefits over what X is already doing. You're just installing bugs by switching to this thing.

This instance seems like a 'taking'. The government should have to pay rent if the installation is more than transient (something like 24 hours), and they should not be able to keep it secret from, or disrupt the owner's use of the land without invoking eminent domain.

I think you’re conflating multiple things here. As far as I know, Chesterton’s fence is not about anything like property rights. We’re not talking about justifying entering your neighbor’s land and tearing down their fence without permission. Presumably the analogy is a fence on some land you’ve just acquired, or a fence on public lands. The debate isn’t about whether you have the right to unilaterally tear down a fence, it’s about whether it’s a good idea for the fence to be removed.
