Difference is P2P isnt matrix's main goal. Their approach to P2P is to just bundle an entire homeserver on your phone or desktop client.

Yeah, 15 years ago it was nvidia for Linux because they were the only ones with functioning graphics drivers even if they were closed source. Now it's similar for ML on Linux even though for regular graphics the situation has reversed.

For languages that have a custom parser written for it (currently only C#) you can absolutely omit the first line. For all other languages it needs the line to know what its documenting and how to include the prototype since it's relying on a more generic parser. This lets it work with almost any language, and you can even add support for new languages just by editing a text file, but it admittedly makes it more verbose.

>I guess we can debate the existence of the “True Bootstrapper”, but that’s not a very interesting conversation.

I'm a language descriptivist not prescriptivist so I don't care to debate it but just pointing out that the founders are using "bootstrapped" in a confusing way that contradicts how others understand it. (Which then causes meta discussion of founders trying to educate readers on the nuances of what "bootstrap" means.)

Compare the financial equity cap table terms to YC. When YC terms were $120k for 7% equity, people (generally) didn't call all those annual YC batch applicants "bootstrap companies". E.g. we (generally) did not say "DropBox is a bootstrapped company", "AirBNB is a bootstrapped company". But TinySeed funding means it's a bootstrapped company?!?

Doesn't that seem inconsistent?

Taking outside funding from professional investors for equity stakes typically wasn't seen as bootstrapping.

My point is that it's a whole heck of a lot easier if you shed the "bootstrap" label when the financial status changes. It's not a flaw or being evil to lose that label. Why is it so psychologically necessary to keep it?

> and the inevitability of a complete switchover is known.

Uh, yeah, no. If you press even the most hardcore of Wayland advocates, they'll eventually admit that Wayland is not a true replacement for Xorg. They'll make the case that you shouldn't use Xorg, but at the end of the day, Wayland's development will always be a treadmill since it's goal is to be less feature-complete than the protocol it's replacing. Yes, I hate x11. Yes, I want a better window server. Wayland is absolutely, positively not it though, and I reckon I'll be sticking with Xorg for the foreseeable future (at least 5 years).

This is yet another "why won't companies take Wayland seriously!?" blogpost. You want your answer? It's because Wayland has been in development for more than a decade, with top-priority attention from the most well-funded organizations in open source. And it's still not finished.

I'm not sure I agree, code style is (or should) be about things like method length, naming conventions, iteration styles ... those do matter and should be in the scope of a linter. The presence of the word "then" which makes no difference to the resulting bytecode but does make the code more readable (IMHO) is not.

(BTW, I've seen "then"s aplenty in my decade-and-a-bit of Ruby experience, possibly this is a geographical thing, like the SF no-parentheses-in-methods thing)

TL/DR: A paper reports (appropriately conservatively) on tantalizing evidence from Gale crater. Curiosity's SAM lab heated 24 powdered rock samples to 850 °C, releasing their solid carbon as methane gas. The onboard Tunable Laser Spectrometer then measured the carbon isotopes in that gas and found more 12C than would be expected based on the 12C to 13C ratio in the modern Martian atmosphere. On Earth, life preferentially uses 12C over the heavier 13C, bioaccumulating it, so we observe significantly more 12C than 13C in ancient rocks where life grew. Did ancient Martian microbial methanogenesis concentrate this isotope at Gale crater as it built up complex organic molecules? Maybe. Two other hypotheses offer abiotic explanations: one suggests that UV light could have caused CO2 in the Martian atmosphere to form isotopically enriched carbon monoxide molecules that settled to the surface, the other wonders if the isotopes arrived from space when our solar system drifted through a 13C-depleted giant molecular cloud hundreds of millions of years ago. “On Earth, processes that would produce the carbon signal we’re detecting on Mars are biological,”[1] but we don’t understand the Martian carbon cycle well enough yet to have any real confidence. As with all tantalizing results about microbial extraterrestrial life so far, this will probably turn out to be due to a physicochemical process we don’t yet understand. Or maybe not.

Without background downloads or updates? Every time someone wants to play your game, they're forced to stare at a progress bar that can easily take upwards of an hour depending on the game ("smaller" 3d games like subnautica push 10GB)? And you somehow don't see the problem?

> customers are uncomfortable and sometimes try to tip anyway

This is almost certainly largely because of another of the incredibly frustrating aspects of tipping: it's entirely informal, with no way to tell what's expected of customers. The etiquette around it can be extremely confusing on both sides, too—I've heard stories of workers who are strictly forbidden from acknowledging tips to customers, so that if you asked, they would have to say "no, you don't need to tip", even though they're still considered tipped workers legally.

So unless there's explicit statements from the establishment of "we do not accept tips for our workers, because we make sure their wages are high enough not to need that", you can't take "you don't need to tip" at face value. Hell, even then you can't; I wouldn't be remotely surprised to see unscrupulous business owners put that even when they do not, in fact, pay their workers well, especially in areas near where other places say it truthfully.

A Quake 3 binary compiled in 1999 still runs on Linux today. How much backward compatibility do you need?

> Windows will happily run GUI apps written 20 years ago.

Your best bet at running 16 bit Windows applications on a modern OS is running them via Wine. The same is true for some older 32 bit software.

I wanted to relive some memories replaying my copy of GTA (the first one) on Windows 10 the other day, gave up after about half an hour after multiple step-by-step guides for getting it to run failed, and just installed it on my work laptop that's running a flavor of Linux with Wine. The latter required one extra step - installing some library by ticking a checkbox in winetricks.

For all of Windows' touted backwards compatibility I wasn't exactly impressed. It seems to be little more than a meme at this point. What Windows does better (than other OS) is play modern games, which is why I keep it around on my desktop computer. I'm not sure it deserves credit for that though.

I don't even know what you mean by switching "switches graphics engines". The X to Wayland migration? The former has been backwards compatible for more than three decades and the latter can host the former to remain backwards compatible.

Wishy-washy terminology aside, are you absolutely confident your opinion is formed from an informed position?

The Alamo Drafthouse chain of theaters, of which there is at least one in Austin and one in the DC suburbs, has table service. And, if I remember correctly, the bar is set-up like a normal pub bar (and separate from non-alcohol concessions). So, you can order a drink in advance of seating, as you would at a a pub (where you'd normally tip the bartender) and you can order drinks at your seat.

It is a bit strange/confusing that the author didn't clarify, as very few theaters serve alcohol at all. And most that do don't have a stand-alone bar or table service, just beers at the concession counter.
>What value can they possibly add?

Maybe something to squash, say, DocuSign? Not that you need a blockchain to do that, but I can see a Google or Apple DocuSign product growing fast because they own the mobile OSes.

Your Value Comes from Your Output
In one of my latest web assignments I needed to implement 3d and wrote some svelte components to drive the three.js CSS3DRenderer. It worked great, but as soon as images were introduced, performance was really an issue.
I then looked into Svelte + three.js libraries like svelte-cubed and svelthree and while they work great, I felt that there's room to improve and build upon.

The last week I was busy with developing threlte, a new component library for svelte + three.js. It's based on my previous experience working with react-three-fiber and the short yet very enlightening time working with Svelte, SvelteKit and Svelte Cubed.
It's not finished (it never is, right?) but it already is quite useable and even features some things I was missing with the other ones.

- Reactivity as we know it from Svelte

- Interactivity (pointer events much regular DOM elements)

- Color management

- Useful Defaults

- Access to just about everything

- Extendability and clear conventions

- TypeScript everywhere

- Hooks

- Post Processing

- Extensive Documentation

- … and it's pretty easy too.

I hope you like the new kid on the block! I'd love it if you give it a try and provide some feedback Thanks!
That’s brilliant. Like a wholesome version of “mail fraud” ;)
That's kinda a macrocosm for why Wayland still sucks, though. It always starts with a far-too-small scope, saying "we don't want to retread Xorg's mistakes", after which developers create 15 Competing Standards to replace Xorg functionality, and then the Wayland devs realize that if they don't put their foot down then 90% of the Linux desktop will have a subpar experience. It's a brutal, never-ending treadmill for users and developers alike.
