Here's the thing though: Obviously terrible people (imo) cite Ayn Rand as a pivotal influence so much that I don't know if I could ever give her work an unbiased read.

Conversely, my favorite people have called her "one of the most evil figures of modern intellectual history", and the like.

And she was clearly a massive, massive hypocrite.

x11 is no longer maintained. you're thinking of xwayland, which is the only thing getting releases these days. but that is built on wayland.

gnome shell has had some version of the screencast API for 8 years now. pipewire is irrelevant to the discussion.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/blame/main/data...

the first commit for the desktop portal (which is the end result of the gnome api above) for wlr was in 2018.

https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/commit/4e...

2 years before the 2020 date in the article. so in short:
in 2020 zoom abused a gnome only api to implement desktop sharing,
when a proper gnome only desktop sharing api already existed for ~8 years.
which was the precursor to the current desktop portal stuff and you're trying to blame wayland for the problem.

"Pixel streaming" is great if you don't have latency requirements or your client has a poor GPU, but otherwise native 3D is superior.
Sure, its the JVM, but open from the start, native in major browsers, and at a time when a popular choice for desktop development is “wrap a browser in a layer providing access to OS services”.

I'd actually be pretty happy if browsers chose to implement those APIs with the same restriction in mind - that is, only for explicitly installed PWAs. I said this elsewhere in the past, and I still think that's a reasonable restriction that could provide a path forward.

> or mitigating one of the two critical problems of WebUSB (that the computer trusts peripherals too much, so that one that’s hijacked can more easily become a remote code execution vulnerability)

I'm not very well-versed in the details, but I believe that's also the reason why WebUSB (or Chromium implementation of WebUSB?) doesn't allow certain classes of devices to be ever accessed via that API.

I don’t think assumption is the correct stance, but a healthy skepticism sounds in order.

Alcohol is clearly capable of long term impairment, the debate seems to be about dose response. Nicotine is more questionable, but clearly leaves long term changes in the mind. People abstaining after long term nicotine usage will spend the rest of their lives experiencing cravings. Hell, it seems plausible long term consumption of food types has long term cognitive effects.
The issue with studies like this – is that it applies to the every-man. For most people, a lot of these points are probably true. For others, however, those same detriments show up as positives. For example, maybe cannabis does prolong decision making - but if you have anxiety, and cannabis alleviates that anxiety - your decision making processes are quicker. Studies like this are necessary, I just wish there was a way to footnote those neurodivergent examples.
I used to use it with Wine on Lubuntu on my laptop a few years ago[0]. As I recall the only problem I ever had with it was that context menus had a titlebar. I presume this was a quirk of the Window Manager.

Don't know about different Jurisdictions, but from where I am - this has NO legal binding whatsoever. We have those gov issued digital, invisible signatures for that, embedded in our personal ID card. Whatever is properly signed with digital signature, the printed out page bears no legal force.

Anyway, businesses still like to do it this way ("Signing" pdf by applying some pixels). I wonder if it is just an inconvenience to overcome both for businesses and consumers that just write this off and don't bother that it is such a weak binding. It is like some dirty workaround/hack to put those silly signatures on digital documents to get stuff done.
> Sweden is moving to greener energy and is currently exporting electricity to Germany and Poland. How come it works here but not down there?

Sweden has 3.5x more hydro than wind energy (in TWh produced). Germany has 7x less hydro than wind. Sweden can easily use their large hydro reserves to balance out the fluctuations in wind power output.

TL;DR Macro trends:

- older folks retired or never re-entered workforce after COVID

- employees, for the first time in ~20 years, understand they can quit their job today and get hired somewhere else tomorrow

- corporate won't raise wages because "they're already too high", ignoring any variation in the location's cost of living

- teenagers have more options/entertainment available to them today and don't want to seek out traditional employment. The author's "their parents are rich" line has some nugget of truth to it unfortunately. Plus they don't want to be yelled at by angry entitled customers.

Specific to the author's situation:

- a business that would not traditionally rely on tips (a fucking movie theatre) relies on tips much to the detriment of the employees

- tips are dispensed on a scam debit card (IMO should be illegal),
I had to look it up when doing deals with someone in Japan, and Wikipedia (iirc) told me that specifically in Japan just scribbling over the pdf via the touchpad is not a legal thing—you have to do the paper dance. Judging from the comments here, France also doesn't encourage all-digital laziness.
This person wants to replace the window system and is calling that a Zoom issue. And says they're working on it.

I fail to see the problem.

Wayland is not a drop-in replacement and creates work to get to parity. Nothing will explode if they use Xorg. The problems with Xorg are exaggerated. That they find Xorg completely unacceptable due to theoretical security issues (nobody is really writing and deploying code that targets xorg's issues) shows where their head is.
You are right, that it shouldn't make a difference technically.

Semi off-topic question. Would it be possible or reasonable to mount small energy efficient high resolution cameras on the opposing side of the satellite and make a real time grid picture of space, then open source the data to any scientists or astronomers that want it? Could that be a feature request for the next model of their satellite?
Sounds similar to me! Cannabis makes me think in a significantly different way, often going down rabbit holes. When something in my life isn't ideal (overweight, disorganized, sleep deprived, etc.), my high mind will go down negative rabbit holes. But if everything's going well, my high mind will come up with fantastic solutions to work problems or give me insight into how I can be a better person.
The larger you get, the harder it is to justify outsized PE multiples. Plenty of theory and empirical research supports this.

Even with their recent 11-12% correction their PE is ~33.5. [0] That’s higher than today’s S and P PE, and more than double the long term median (~15) and mean (~16) PE. [1]

This means that the market is betting on some combination of margin expansion and outsize revenue growth.

McKesson is in another industry with different margin and growth, and is valued differently.

I always use Preview to "sign" documents due to a lack of a scanner, but I've found in some cases, companies refuse to accept the document because they think it's not actually printed, signed with a pen, and then scanned...

Tools like this will skew and degrade the image in a similar way to a scanner so that it fits this ridiculous requirement

> his is a common misconception. Apart from the kind of NATs we have now, there is no way that IPv4 could have been expanded.

The misconception is that IPv4 could have been expanded in a compatible way. That's not GP's point though as I read it. They could have made an incompatible IPv5 which was exactly like IPv4, except with additional address bits.

Then the operational side would be similar, and you wouldn't have to learn everything over again.

Instead they changed just about everything.

I really hate dealing with my printer (or any printer for that matter), so I make pretty liberal use of my drawing tablet at this point. I import the PDF into Krita, use the ballpoint pen brush, and sign. I export to PNG, then use an imagemagick script to rotate it some random number between 1-3 degrees, and add noise onto it to look like a scan.

It's a pain, but it's still less annoying than dealing with a printer.
OK, I ignore podcasts in Spotify. I use Pocket Casts.

I thought coming up with primes would be very challenging, but then my first three guesses were all prime (all I did was pick numbers that ended with odd numbers that weren't five). I got it on the fourth after a few attempts at entering the number - the prime constraint here makes it easier.

There are 8,363 five digit primes. If you limit your guesses to numbers ending in 1, 3, 7, and 9, there is a 23% chance of randomly picking a prime.
That is highly dependent on the type of restaurant you work at. Someone I know would make 100-250 a night a one place. Moves to another one, she was maybe getting maybe 20 total a night. Moves to another one 80-150...
True, you can design a CPU for anything. However a OS that depends on such a CPU is not portable to anything else, and can't easily run most programs that people depend on (emulators are possible, but not easy). Also most CPU advances haven't gone into such a thing and it is tricky to apply those advances while also providing what the language needs. None of this is impossible, but it makes such CPUs in todays world of questionable value.

Note that you can port any OS written in C to such a CPU with "just" a new compiler backend and a few drivers. Your OS won't take advantage of the features the CPU provides, but it will work.

Several people started to show unique neurological symptoms that seemed to correlate with years of exposure to aerosolized pig brains. One person that I know of sued Hormel in 2008, and the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice in 2009.

Your contrived hypothetical scenario is not proof of your conjecture.

Because there are plenty of places that don't work with tips that do fine. Hell, some of our least expensive options operate in a tip-free environment. And no restaurant where tipping is expected is selling for the same price as fast food places in the first place. So it's not the scenario where you're looking at two options that seem equally priced, but one has the hidden tip tax on it. No, you're looking at two options where one is just more expensive and you have to tip.

And why are restaurants special in this regard? Why does no other sector have to operate on this model, where a customer has to directly pay a businesses employees? And why only in the U.S.? How did the rest of the world figure this one out but we can't seem to shake it?

Tipping is stupid and is anti-ethical to actual customer service as it pits staff against the customer and creates resentment in both directions.
It could be called 'C--' unless that's been taken.
I don't understand this question? Seems in bad faith, like a subtle dig you think I'm a shill.

Taken at face value: I work in the tech industry, have never had any association to the energy sector. I believe in basic personal accountability and the bounds of reality, which unfortunately makes me a rare individual in the current era.
> Linguistics is the study of those patterns across different languages.

Linguistics is the study of languages in a scientific manner. Pattern recognition can be one approach, and it's great when it works to provide insight but it is (or should be) a means to an end and one must also be aware of its limitations.

> The only reason that your list makes sense is because there is such a clear pattern for the vast majority of plural nouns.

This perhaps could be a somewhat valid point if we were only talking about English. However, examples from languages with more complicated conjugation or declension could readily provide much better illustration why any naively-reconstructed rules reproduced from just a couple of hand-picked examples should not be assumed to hold.

So, as I said, while I find those puzzles interesting, I just don't think there's much linguistic insight to it. It's just an exercise in deductive logic. Nothing wrong with it of course, and I concede that might have been the point all along, just call me surprised.

Similarly: "Bob is twice as old as Alice and was 4 when the first man landed on the moon. How old is Alice?" is not a problem in astronomy. It's just a fancy way of stating: "b == 2a && b - ($CURRENT_YEAR - YEAR_OF_FIRST_MOON_LANDING) == 4, solve for a."
Quite easily the dumbest comment I've heard on HN. I hope it was sarcasm.
I’m in CA, which doesn’t have a tipped minimum wage loophole, and the tipping culture keeps increasing what’s an expected tip, and more and more places expect you to tip, so it seems like it’s never going away. Just upwards.

But also, it’s not just restaurant owners that like it. A lot of tipped workers make out really well with tips and prefer it that way.

And where are you going to get your game assets from? Are you going to try and stream those over the network? Good luck with that. Or are you going to show a long loading screen as you try and fight with local storage limits to prefetch all your assets?

To give you a scope of the problem of game assets, "small" indie games like Stardew Valley or Terraria are close to 500MB. How on earth are you going to deploy that on the web?

And if you are assuming a reliable, super-fast internet connection to stream game assets over (along with paying for the CDN to host it), well cloud gaming already does this better and already exists in a meaningful way. Why struggle to fight with the incredibly pathetic limits of a web browser when you can just stream a video?

running java bytecode natively is neither necessary nor sufficient as you can compile java to any other native ISA, but you do still a relatively heavy runtime for GC.

I guarantee that, with some effort, you could write a script to emulate every HTTP call -- logging in, accepting the cookie (just a value in a Set-Cookie header), and requesting the point values, making sure that cookie value is in your Cookie header. Just because you could "only get it to work" one way, does not mean there isn't a far more efficient way.
All of the laptops/computers in my house have IPv6-only web servers with LetsEncrypt certificates. (These computers all share a single IPv4 address.)

To get IPv6 on all computers I just installed radvd on the router. On the router I also set up a VPN to give the IPv6 addresses over IPv4 even when they're not local.

It's great.

Golang also seems vulnerable to the same issue

https://github.com/golang/go/blob/d15481b8c7f5f73a8b987a0c1d...

Line 78 checks that the path isn't a symlink (time-of-check). Then line 97 calls openFdAt which on line 174 opens the path by name, without NOFOLLOW (time-of-use).

I bet this is a pretty common vulnerability.

"Since the FCC adopted these limits based largely on research from the 1980s, the preponderance of peer-reviewed research, more than 500 studies, have found harmful biologic or health effects from exposure to RFR at intensities too low to cause significant heating."

And...

"The research suggests that long-term exposure may pose health risks to the skin (e.g., melanoma), the eyes (e.g., ocular melanoma) and the testes (e.g., sterility)."

What I see is the "small government" striking again. These federal agencies that are there to protect the public from irresponsible capitalism (e.g. Boeing) have been gutted to the point where they are effectively subsidiaries of the businesses. Lord forbid they affect shareholder value.
Science is about replication of results.

For example, if Alice did X and got Y, then published a paper about it, and Bob did X and got Y, and Charlie did X and got Y, then X->Y is scientifically proven.

If well known and proven scientist Alice said that X may cause Y, then it is just Alice words, not a science.
