FWIW the Xorg already has the functionality to isolate clients from each other, but it is underdocumented and not that easy to set up - see xauth as a starting point.

The limitations that are there are very minor and if someone cared they could be completely eliminated. As you wrote, Xorg is opensource - which also means that these limitations exist since there wasn't much of an interest towards addressing them.

Though there is also the bureaucracy aspect - in recent years i've been trying to provide fixes, improvements, etc on various open source projects i'm using and i've noticed that the more involvement there is by companies in a project, especially among maintainers, the more bureaucracy and harder it is to get things merged to the point where whenever i see an issue with something that has at least one bigger company behind it, my first instinct is to make my own fork, fix it there and leave it at that. Or not bother. Projects that are primarily run by volunteers tend to be way easier to get involved with.
Then designate Chrome for such tasks and FireFox with containers for anything else. It works great - can confirm.

I imagine they'll eventually feed us with the tried and tested line, "this outage prevented us from updating the status page".

And we will reply with the obvious response, "run your status page on different infrastructure".

Edit: status page updated

You can outright prohibit applications from starting on the foreground on KDE.

I wouldn't even try running Teams on Linux, as I'm sure it's an endless source of frustration (much more intense than on Windows or on the browser). But the one nice thing of Linux is that you can force apps to behave.

The thing is, us-east-1 represents the whole AWS for the majority of us.
I'm not sure which update exactly - at least a couple of years ago now, but this was removed for regular updates.

You don't get the forced reboot until your version goes EOL - you'd have to ignore updates for years for that.

If you read the english translation then the beauty of the language is completely lost on you, and also much of the meaning. Especially if you are coming from an English only background.

Can we please stop saying, “AWS is down”?

AWS consists of over 200 services offered in 86 availability zones in 26 regions each with their own availability.

If one service in one availability zone being impaired equals a post about “AWS is down” we might as well auto-post that every day.
Coconuts fall at different stages of their life. We have 4 trees surrounding our home and we have a net around the trees which catches the fall of the coconuts. Also parking under a coconut tree is always risky, I have had my parked car along a road dented and windshield broken because of a falling coconut from the tree above. If I had noticed the tree that day (they curve a lot), I wouldn't have parked below.

I would say DNA is more like a neural net than a neural net is like an actual brain.

The complex interdependencies, redundancies, nth order optimizations accrued over a long time, conditional relevance of different inputs, etc.

When you add a chunk of matter to a blob of matter, you increase the volume of the blob by one chunk. When you add a chunk of matter to a black hole, you increase the surface area of the black hole by one chunk. This is incredibly surprising and suggests that our three dimensional reality is actually encoded in two dimensions. This is called the holographic principle and is an active area of research. There are many other curious things in physics that seem to hint at something like a simulation.

What I was imagining was the scene still being represented digitally with polygons, but the shader could still benefit from analog functions. Say, you could do functions like sine and logarithms faster/better/cheaper. So you'd get the same image, but with some added noise. Again, it's just pure speculation on my side.

As a professional molecular biologist who now does programming for a living, I wonder if the metaphor could be turned on its head:

Imagine that every one of people who designed computers, from the chip makers, to the ones making the instruction set, to the firmware coders etc. had no concept of "abstraction", adherence to standards or even a logical, coherent design. Would computers be more like cells then?

I could imagine a CPU which does not have a clock to keep everything syncronized - where the die is not separated into logical areas of decoders ALUs etc but just a jumped mess of wires and logic gates that somehow works to do computation. There is no "assembly language" for this CPU, but give it the right binary inputs at the right time and it will probably do what you ask it to (depending on its complicated internal state).
This is how it almost always is.

It's the bureaucratic horror of large companies (for me, even HP when it was a Fortune 20 company, had it's irritations) that drove me to entrepreneurship. Being bought always means you have to return to that in some ways.

Here's the trick: plan for your "exit from your exit" when you are planning your current startup. I sold my recent company in 2018 and we already had plans for our next startup long before our exit appeared on the horizon. Thus we had our attorneys write our acquisition contract such that nothing in our future plans would be outside of the SPECIFIC purchase contract would ever be included or be on the table. At the same time we've used our post-tax purchase revenue, salaries, bonuses and commissions to provide seed money and investment in our next ventures.

The key thing: we "knew", and still know, we have multiple startups in us. Some are "singles", some are "doubles" and we have only one that might be a "home run". But all are on the table.
Thank you! There is no way to prove it definitively, but I'd bet this is a writer's account with an agenda.

The whole things reads like an airport novel, adjusted for a specific subject. It's what people who believe about a certain world view expect to see in that world. A tear-jerker for sure, but in practice, for example, I have a lot of anti-vaxxer friends, and even though I don't agree with their choice (but I agree with their choice to have a choice), none of them behave like the people in the story. They are not insane, they just strongly adhere to a certain set of believes.

People would point out to the writer's history, but in fact, their account is only 9 month old, with an average of a few posts per months. It's completely not unreasonable to believe that someone spends this effort to create an illusion of credibility. Heck, I know people with two dozen "active" hacker news accounts, doing the same thing, but in their case so they could promote key tech articles, instead of vaccines.

Internet is a lovely place, isn't it.

Yes. Or even just "Magician reveals his secrets".

The ambiguity seems (to me) to have been exploited for clicks. But I see here that other people here seem to be more familiar with the magician than with the (possibly outdated) profession.

Sure, but a ramjet with it's scoop pointing in the same direction as its exhaust is going to have a hard time working well if at all. So you'll be spending some time collecting mass which you can then later spew back out again and during both those phases you are braking. But if you don't want to rotate the ramjet (which is technically quite a challenge, unless you rotate the whole spaceship) then it becomes a nasty engineering problem.

us-east-1 seems to be AWS’s not so well kept little dark secret!

In all seriousness though - even non-regional AWS services seem to have ties to us-east-1 as evidenced by the recent outages. So you might be impacted even if it looks like (on paper at least) you’re not using any services tied to that region.

Im sorry, I don't want to argue anymore with crypto advocates. There is no more rational discussion to possibly be had about any of the current contenders in this space. The whole thing needs to be pulled apart. Just because some people earn money from it, doesn't make it moral, a good idea , useful, or bettering human society. Oil companies also make a lot of money and we can see where that has ended up.

This is interesting. I've actually had a very jarring experience with Google meet. My webcam image, for some reason, would be squished, like it attempted to constrain it to 4:3 when it's 16:9. But the end image wasn't 4:3, there would be vertical bands on the sides. However, while waiting in the lobby for a meeting, the preview worked fine. This happened on both Firefox and Chrome (actual Chrome, not Chromium), and with multiple people.

The exact same setup worked perfectly in Teams, Zoom and OBS.

I'm confused.

This only applies to SPACs with a sponsor, and even then only when the sponsor takes a bigger cut than the profit from buying the firm and taking it public.

And even then, it seems like a stretch to call it a scam: if you buy an investment product because it sponsors someone you like, you're gonna pay accordingly. Nike or Coke Cola aren't a scam because they cost more and spend the money sponsoring celebs. Neither are these.

Are they worse value for money? Yes. But that's pretty obvious and people don't just look at cost/ingredients when they make their purchasing decisions. That's their right not a scam.

If you are unlucky enough to have to get medicine into a baby, something has happened and you are hopefully under the supervision of a doctor or a nurse who can aid with the practicalities.

Unfortunately we live in a political climate, not only in Poland, that whenever left-wing candidates lose an election, it's populism and backsliding on democracy.

> In 2020 a rash of anti-zoom propaganda

The security issues like end-to-end encryption not actually being end-to-end encryption (unless you consider the man in the middle to be two ends, forwarding messages between the other two ends) were not propaganda - they really existed. It isn't even propaganda to say Zoom published very questionable statements (or if I allow myself to be slightly less charitable: the occasional outright lie) about those issues, because it is demonstrably true that this happened.

> that I'm almost certain was driven by Microsoft

You might need to present some evidence for that rather bold claim.

> [comparison with past MS security issues]

Teams is far from perfect, I am not a fan of it at all, and that security issue was real too IIRC, but you are using some very selective reasoning bringing it up at the same time as downplaying the serious flaws present in Zoom in the same period.
Fair use is not a right. It’s a defense. When you are sued for copyright infringement, you have to argue that you’re doing it in fair use. It’s not the “get out of jail free” card people think it is.

First off, China wouldn't be re-absorbing Taiwan, the ROC is the original and the PRC is the communist spin-off.

Second, I would assume heavy heavy sanctions, no western nation to deal with China at all. Military force if foreign troops stationed in Taiwan were injured or killed.

The West can play the slow game with Taiwan because it's solely the CCP's problem and the current status quo is what the West wants.
