Pieces of how this happened, and some of the fixes implemented, don't instill much confidence.

Amongst other issues, this was triggered by a lack of case-insensitive handling of the HTTP "Content-Length" header. https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D135871 has one of the commits that landed as a result of this, and while it does change the handling to be case insensitive, it raises even more questions on the HTTP/3 stack. For instance, this is doing a string search across the HTTP headers for the string "content-length". Does that string appear in a cookie? Well you just got the wrong content length. It's extremely concerning that this isn't downstream of something that has pre-parsed the headers and has them indexed by their parsed out names.

So if there is a 3M N95 mask on Amazon, how can you even check that it's not a fake one? Only shop from 3M? Well they are perpetually sold out. Next up (i did a quick search), are 3M N95 masks "Sold by Promax America". I've never heard of Promax America (they could be the most legit in the world), but how can I tell they don't sell fake 3M's?
> System76 with Pop_OS! has an opportunity to tackle topics head on like "we can make fractional scaling work somewhat decently across all apps" (IIUC currently requires shipping a forked XWayland, unfortunately)

I'm excited to see System76's implementation of fractional scaling in this new desktop environment. Since they have actually sold laptops with 1080p and sometimes 4K displays, they have a real incentive to get this feature working smoothly on Wayland.

System76 previously developed a HiDPI daemon for X11 to be used with GNOME Shell:

- Blog post: https://blog.system76.com/post/174414833678/all-about-the-hi...

- Help page: https://support.system76.com/articles/hidpi-multi-monitor/

- Source: https://github.com/pop-os/hidpi-daemon

It handles multiple scaling factors, including fractional ones, flawlessly across displays.

If the next version of COSMIC supports fractional scaling on Wayland as well as this daemon does on X11, this alone would make the entire project worthwhile. GNOME Shell still hides fine-grained fractional scaling behind an experimental flag for both X11 and Wayland,[1] with X11 needing a patch for Mutter.[2]

I'm not sure I get the problem. My friend's 7yr old son calls to play Brawl Stars with me. You run around in an arena, multiplayer, and try to shoot each other. The game is polished and AFAIK he's never spent a dime on it but he loves the game.
Your citation is full of errors and fallacies. More efficient mining rigs is basically irrelevant, because Bitcoin miners have no incentive to reduce energy consumption while computing the same number of hashes; it is to compute more hashes using the same amount of energy. So as long as you know the lowest possible energy-per-hash of all available mining hardware you can compute a lower bound on Bitcoin's energy utilization.

Then comes the claim that we do not have data on the energy consumed by mainstream finance, but in some cases we do and it really drives home the point about Bitcoin. Visa emitted over 1000 times less carbon in 2020 than Bitcoin, and processes over 1000 times more transactions per second (7 for Bitcoin versus 1700 for Visa). So Visa is at least a million times more energy efficient than Bitcoin as a transaction processing system.

Then the "pushback" claiming that it's really OK because Bitcoin mining can be switched on when energy is abundant, which could, maybe, possibly, subsidize the cost of renewables. Except there are alternatives that also could be switched on only when there is an energy surplus -- beginning with any energy-storage technology, of which there are many at different stages of development. Every joule devoted to Bitcoin is a joule not charging an electric car, and every dollar spent on Bitcoin is a dollar not spent developing better storage. There are also industrial processes that could be selectively turned on during periods of abundant energy, like electric arc furnaces widely used in steel mills (the ability to turn the furnace on and off as needed is one of the big advantages of electric arc furnaces over blast furnaces).

The outright denial that there even is a problem to solve is a classic example of people becoming religious about a technology. Fortunately better responses have been offered from the blockchain crowd, like pointing to PoS as a technical solution to the problem.

Eventually something terrible is going to happen, some kind of mass-casualty incident that can be directly traced to a counterfeit or illicit product sold on Amazon. At that point, Congress will fall upon them like a band of starving wolves and make them fix their broken system.

If Congress doesn't act, plaintiffs' attorneys will. It'll be the McDonald's coffee case all over again. They're not just asking for it, they're begging.

Not too far off why evolution put your eyes right next to your brain, if you think about it.
We could make a blog post about it. I feel like a lot of it is going to be super technical for most people, though. Here's what I can answer off the top of my head.

Centroid separation for lateral color is roughly 0mm for 0-30 degrees then sharply decreases at about -0.1mm/5 degrees

When eye is rotated 25 degrees horizontally, pupil swim is within 10-20 arcmin for (+-40 V, 0-40 H) field angles. This is already fairly low, but we also plan to correct it with eye tracking if it's noticeable.

Allowable eye shift is +-2mm, eye box accounting for eye rotation is around 18mm. Full 20um RMS spot size in that region for the foveal region (+-25 deg).

Display is a LCD panel. 600:1 contrast, 150 nits brightness, 83% NTSC.

We actually considered pancake lenses, but the low transmission (15% in a pancake design vs ~85% in ours) and the ghost image issues made us step away from them.

XR2 does all the hard work, but Qualcomm pretty much ignored us when we messaged them. Besides, it'd pretty much be dead weight since we want an x86 processor for our primary use case as a laptop replacement.

And yeah we're planning to integrate the Ultraleap module if they get their Linux software sorted. If not, there's fallbacks.

(I think we also messaged Goertek and got nothing, so... a big part of why we're doing this, and will likely open source most of it, is that all the usual vendors didn't talk to us)
Reading is less bad for your eyes? When I game it's usually on a console it's 2 to 3 meters from me eyes. When I read the book is 20cm and I know it's bad for my eyes because I find it hard to focus after I look up from the book :P
I don't think either of those are ideal. Your brain does need some rest time, rather than getting home and getting right back on to high mental intensity activities, consider just going outside for a walk. You can let your brain rest while walking, it improves your mental and physical health, and is a much better use of time than reddit.
> If a game isn't 100% FUN 100% OF THE TIME then the designers have failed.

Making something that literally every person finds fun all of the time is completely impossible. For example I have friends I don't play a lot of multiplayer games with, because I have the most fun when things go sour, while they just get frustrated.
Ideally the white house should meet separately with the "consumers" on one hand, and the producers like Apache and Red Hat on the other.

Also, the government should get way more in-house expertise. I am a firm believe in an all-capable administrative state which should be able to do just about anything in the economy, even if it chooses not to or can't do all at once. The government needs way more in-house programmers doing various things, and those civil servants should be in these meetings so it's not just the vultures tricking the politicians.

In general, in-house expertise should be a bulwork aginst regulatory capture. E.g. If HHS/FDA/NSF did its own drug development not just drug research the incentives would be very very different.
Not to mention the bad ergonomics of reading a book compared to a monitor.
A group of people takes on a hive mind aligned with the interest of the corporation and the corporate bureaucracy manages the hands that act on its behalf with an incentive structure.

That isn't how gnome works, being decentralized and all. The foundation pays for very little of the development and has little to no influence over what developers actually do. If you wanted the community to have more influence over development, the way to do that would actually be to get more money for the foundation so they can afford to hire more developers from the community. Right now, they don't employ any. The funding they have now is actually shockingly small for a nonprofit based in the USA, and almost unnoticeable compared to what a tech company based in the USA would have.

Removal of features would still happen though because that's a natural part of any software project responding to the ever-shifting priorities of a large group of users.

Not only that, if another FSD crash was to happen and an investigation was to be looked into the system, can we still get the AI in FSD to explain itself thoroughly on the decisions made which lead it to say 'crash right into another car right in-front of it' [0][1] or malfunction when it 'confuses the moon with a traffic light' and slow down on the highway [1]?

I don't think you would want to sign up to be a crash dummy on beta quality safety critical software, especially when the AI is a complete black box?

The platform is still web, even if it's not using HTML and CSS. The success of figma has lead to a lot of start ups targeting the web as there main platform, but using WASM (C++ or Rust) and WebGL (soon WebGPU). This makes sense in creative tools, I think. We're also starting to see tools that run on the server and stream video to the browser.

Adding to the article above ...

Editing a well-prepared index can be a pleasure,

the estimable Chicago Manual of Style tells us,

A poorly prepared one, however, presents serious problems. As an editor, you cannot remake a really bad index. If an index cannot be repaired, you have two choices: omit it or have a new one made ...

Also:

As a very rough guide, an average of five references per text page in a book will yield a modest index (one-fiftieth the length of the text), whereas fifteen or more will yield a fairly long index (one-twentieth the length of the text). [Printed books incur a marginal cost per word, remember.]

The old-fashioned way. Indexers used to handwrite or type preliminary entries and subentries on 3 x 5-inch index cards, then alphabetize and edit the cards, and ﬁnally type the index, while further reﬁning it, on 8 1/2 x 11-inch sheets.

And finally,

For greatly expanded coverage of the present guidelines, along with alternative usages, consult Nancy Mulvany’s Indexing Books .... Anyone likely to prepare a number of indexes should acquire that work.

For many (most?) of the working people I know in New York, 8/8/8 is a fantasy (or at least was before COVID/remote work). You rise at 5 am so that you can walk your dog, make some coffee, take a shower, get ready for work, eat a banana and leave by 6 in order to catch a 6:30 train to the city (if you can find parking at the train station where you pay a high monthly parking fee). If the train is on time, and the connecting subway(s) are on time, you arrive at work by 8:30. If you are lucky enough to work only an 8 hour day (with the 1 hour for lunch that you are mandated to take and extends your day at work but is unpaid) you gather your things and leave by 5:30 pm to try to fight the crowds at Penn Station and catch the 6 o'clock train. If the subway(s) and the train are all on time you get home by 7:30 pm. You walk your dog and by now you are too tired to cook so you order food and by the time it gets there and you eat its 9 pm and if you go to sleep right now you can get 8 hours sleep.

And this is all if your day goes smoothly! If you can't find parking, the train is late, the subway is late, you have to stay longer at work or you miss the fastest train home (all things which happen multiple times per week), you are behind the 8-ball on your 8 hours! This also pushes all of the chores that have to be done (laundry, cleaning the house, getting the car serviced, mowing the lawn, taking the dog to the vet, shopping for food, ect) to the weekend which ensures that there won't be much spare time to schedule for elective activities.

This may seem like a pessimistic picture but it is reality for hundreds of thousands/millions of commuters in the NY/metro area. If you ever happen to be in New York take a ride on the LIRR or the Metro North on a weekday at 7 am to witness real misery!

If your straps are welded, are you sure you’re using a NIOSH N95? N95 straps are, as far as I know, always stapled instead of welded. I don’t believe welds are strong enough to hold the force required by a NIOSH N95.

The straps on higher-quality respirators are not just elastic, they’re some kind of finely braided textile that doesn’t snag hair. The sole difference between the 3M 8210 and the 3M 8210+ is whether it has these more expensive straps.

> From what I've seen GTK never had good cross-platform development support.

From the start, GTK was written so that it would have good cross-platform support. GTK itself (not GNOME or Glib) is perfectly system agnostic, and as you've mentioned, it compiles and runs on other platforms. Not sure why you'd knock the way GIMP and Inkscape LAF on other systems; they both look perfectly native on Windows, and much better than the majority of cruddy MacOS desktop app wrappers. If there's a "more native" solution, I'd like to hear it.

> The little support that's there is because interested parties contributed it. If this is what you want, it's self-defeating to refuse to contribute it.

I can't. The GNOME team never opened libadwaita for public comment, or held any forums where I could voice concerns with the direction they were headed. They won't accept contributions that allow cross-platform stylesheets because it would undermine GNOME's own authority as a middleware distributor. I can understand how this all sounds accusatory, but I really do recommend that you research it. The community has been completely locked out of the GNOME decision-making process.

> If you do not want to use Rust, you can always use another language like Python or Javascript. I might be misunderstanding because the rest of your complaints are jumping around a lot

My problem here is explicitly with gtk-rs, a Rust crate that handled GTK bindings. It was a really good library until it hit v14, when the developers lobbed off support for Glade files as well as idiomatic/procedural app design. Now, the crate is pretty much useless as anything other than a GNOME support tool. This expanding GNOME-ification is particularly concerning because, as mentioned before, the GNOME team pretty much doesn't care about anything the community has to say. It's a bad direction for the project to be heading in, and it definitely makes it harder for regular people to write good-looking, system-agnostic GTK apps.

> it would be easier to understand what you're talking about if you shared some code illustrating what the problem is.

I wish I had code to share. I haven't been able to successfully port any of my apps with full feature parity on GTK4. The gist of my code/ergo concerns mostly boil down to this; v9.0.0 allowed you to build programs functionally and register their various interfaces as closures. This made it fairly simple to not only separate UI code from function code, but was also really comfortable to write "like a normal app". v14 eliminated this workflow though, instead forcing you to write UI code with Rust the same way you write the interactions, which have now shifted from a "flexible functional approach" to pure-object-orientation. For a language like Rust, that's two steps removed from madness. It's certainly not a great approach for small, hacked together utilities, and it completely throws the more advanced, idiomatic programs under the bus.
Do you have a source for that? It's interesting.
