I recently had to look into modelines because of one issue related to high frequency refresh rate display and amdgpu causing some blinking due to VRAM reclocking. Really didn't expect that ever to come up.

In the process I discovered that KWin doesn't yet support setting video modes using modelines in the Wayland session at present.

> I chose to use ZFS for convenience of snapshots as a mechanism to drive backup to a cloned zfs disk I hold offline

I do something similar with Sanoid/Syncoid and Sanoid snapshots are super easy to hook into with Borgmatic so you can have an alternate backup set that has nothing to do with ZFS.

The very first system I ever installed ZFS on had a consumer grade motherboard and very soon after installation I realized one of the SATA ports would get flaky under load because ZFS kept spitting up errors. The controller didn't report errors and happily wrote garbage to the disk from what I could tell. So, IMO, checksumming isn't worthless and I keep all my important data on ZFS these days.

I also disagree with the layering thing. I know it's the "unix way", but chaining together a half dozen independent system isn't something I find appealing. At that point I'm the biggest risk to my own data because the odds of me making a mistake are higher than the odds of hitting a bug that affects data integrity. I'd much rather have a single coherent interface to deal with.

It was the same thing with SystemD. Everyone complained about it "taking over everything" instead of chaining a bunch of existing uncoordinated systems together, but I can't imagine going back to the old way now that I'm used to SystemD. It would be nice to see a SystemD style initiative for desktop Linux.
Small town North Dakota could partner with state and federal authorities to grant me some kind of visa as a highly skilled freelancer who wants to purchase property there, grocery shop there, go to the doctor there, etc.

I don't work for a company that can sponsor me. I'm not running a business that employs other people.

I'm just a person with a sufficient income, who wants live in small town USA and pay into the local economy for stuff I use.

Space heaters are incredibly inefficient, though. You could almost heat the whole house with the same energy using a heat pump.
Only the top 21 alternatives/relevant repos are listed. If your suggestion didn't cross the "threshold", that's the reason it wasn't listed immediately. In most cases, if another user suggests it, it may pop up.

Also, this is a known "issue"/confusion! I will add a section with the most recent suggestions. That should regard this case. At least for the time being.

p.s. thanks for trying LibHunt and your feedback.
The categories to me suggest that they're only looking at office workers or something like that.
I use FFR on my Oculus Quest 2. IME, text quality is more constrained by the res of the device, and I personally find it painful to read on my Quest - whether in FFR or Immersed - for extended periods. Others don't seem to have the issue, and people on HN have posted about working full-time in VR, so YMMV.

Just be an average American. 61% of households paid a 0% Federal income tax rate last year [1].

This was partly due to COVID-related tax credits, but even pre-pandemic, the number was around 44%.

I'm not saying this is a bad thing, by the way.

I'm pretty sure they're referring to the depiction of the author's mother's nude corpse in a bathtub full of bloody water.
For most regexes, backtracking and Thompson NFA have the same asymptotic complexity, which is why most languages adopted backtracking. The implementors of such languages knew what they were doing, especially when you consider that by adopting the Thompson NFA means you give up backreferences. The differences only arise with pathological regexes.

I used to think that backtracking was superior to the Thompson NFA in practice on typical regexes, but modern implementations of the Thompson NFA have shown that I was wrong in that and the Thompson NFA can match backtracking's performance. Still, the situation isn't nearly as simple as Russ's article makes it out to be by only focusing on /a?a?a?aaa/, a regex which nobody would write. (This is not to deny that people do write pathological regexes from time to time. But what's the size of the userbase that writes pathological regexes compared to the size of the userbase that uses backreferences?)

I read the article and it was exactly as dumb as I would have thought. I pity the children growing up there.
The important thing is that mere existence of the option - and the possibility that if you tighten the screws too much, it can go from 1-in-200 to 1-in-20 overnight - keeps the policies and pricing of the "primary" store in check. Competition is useful for consumers even if they don't switch to a competitor, because their current vendor expects that they could, and can't freely do monopolistic exploitation.
Funny, my first computer was an IBM PS/1 that I got for Christmas of 1992. I couldn't figure out how to install linux on it. Googling now I see someone talking about the hard disk controller being on the mobo and unsupported, and someone saying they had to supply hard disk geometry info. That was beyond me as a pre-teen. Didn't get my first box to install slackware on until I traded two BB guns for a tower PC as a teenager.
They, in poor form, report the "average" without explicitly specifying if they are referring to the mean or the median. Your perception would be shared by the majority of people if it's the mean they are presenting (which is most likely the case) because of the extreme income distribution. Overall, I am not a fan of the data presentation here.
I only use Linux these days (except when troubleshooting user machines) but I remember my brain was so poisoned by 'the Windows way' back in the 90s I just got frustrated with Slackware. Had I just RTFM or bought a book I could have removed that brainwashing so much sooner.

I think it was SuSE that finally clicked for me.
>How about the time when Israel rescued some 14,000 people of this community in 36 hours from Addis Ababa just before rebel forces arrived at the city?

It was convienent for the regime to do this back then and they left those people to rot as second class citizens. Now that a cold war situation isn't applicable, where is Israel to airlift those in recent conflicts? What support do they get when they arrive? Stop playing out tired old stories from many decades ago, the past is the past, let's get current and see where the work is going?

>My point is that if you get your information only from the news than you are bound to get a biased picture of reality.

You have done nothing to show me that my assessment on this is wrong. Instead you've chosen this dishonest form of argument and been vague this entire time.

Tell us a story then from the ground? You've got a short post history on HN and since this seems to have struck a nerve for you, I'm quite certain you can tell us what good your country is doing for these people. I linked a colonial state news source, an American Jewish news source, and an Israeli news source. You've kept it to vague smears, I'm curious and I want to hear the opposing mindset. So far you've given me nothing of substance, I'm disappointed.
So much politics on HN these days.

An integrated text mode IDE, like Turbo Pascal (1983), would have been a killer app at that moment that would have given some serious trouble to M$.
Anecdotally, I know people with both Indexes and Quest 2s, and from my experience the Q2 gets way fewer strain/headache/motion sickness complaints than the Index.
When it seems like the money might stop flowing, there is some motivation to actually deliver a result, if just to save face or avoid prosecution for fraud. Even if not, indictments are rare, and in any case none of the money is ever returned.
It mentions data on 450 days not "hey, you're totally immune for 450 days". And obviously some people who are naturally infected will be immune forever. Some people.

But even if we knew natural infection prevented future infections in all (which it doesn't, people get double or triple infected), it still wouldn't make sense. (For if it leaves you open to reinfection, see spaced exposure, initial viral load, etc.) Because we don't have the records to corroborate everyone's claims they were infected. And, a lot of the people who would claim to have already been infected I have little trust in to be honest, let alone the difficulty of self-diagnosing.

There's no cost to getting the damn shot, so what's the fucking problem with requiring it?

You make an impassioned and personally attacking me case that natural immunity should exempt you, but why not get the vaccine?

Flat roofs can be functional. As the sq footage grows the area and volume needed for a pitched roof will grow much more. At the extreme of a 12:12 pitch you’d have 40% more materials for the roof and you’d create 50% more volume within the house. Additionally the space of the flat roof can be functional and used as an outdoor living space, unlike a typical pitched roof.
Slackware was themed after the Church of the Subgenius, which is a satirical religion and online movement about "slack" as a cosmic force. It came from a time when software projects could be more whimsical and show some character. It's almost impossible to imagine a software project today expressing any kind of off-topic flair, or really be eccentric in that kind of way. There's hardly anything like it today, but the appeal of something so quirky I think is still easily understood.

Edit: I think at one point there was a Linux distro based on My Little Pony, is that right? It was a different time, you had a new space that had just opened up for creative exploration, and it was accessible mostly to nerds and people on the fringe. There were a lot of weird things coming out back then.
Slax was my introduction both to Slackware and Linux. I miss those days. My parents don't: I think I wiped their computer a half dozen times messing with things (usually killing the MBR IIRC)

I'm the designer of Par2, employee #7 of a successful startup (Broadway Technology LLC), a former Wall Street quant, and winner of two research grants.

I'm looking at starting a company/public-benefit-corporation/non-profit to support formal math. The Lean prover (similar to Coq) is gaining traction, but academics and large corporations are not always good at innovation. There are multiple potential products to consider creating. Near-term plans are to pick one and apply to "America's Seed Fund" (SBIR) for initial funding. Will also consider angel funding and, obviously, applying to Y Combinator.

I'm looking for someone else who wants to join me and can fund themselves for 6 to 9 months, until initial funding arrives. Ideally, someone experienced in formal math and with startups. But I'm open to anyone who is passionately interested in math and has significant skills to bring to the table. Skills include: running an early startup, running scalable online systems, growing an online community, grant writing, and ... a lot more than I can list, but those are the big ones. I'm based in Austin but am willing to move to work together.

Because Facebook and Google have the size, market power, and incentive to do it. They’re both mad at Apple over Apple’s privacy moves, they’ve got the engineering talent and scale to make it viable, and there’s not an apple device out there without at least one of Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram or Gmail, YouTube, and Google Maps. Hell, I’m as ornery as they come over this crap, but even I won’t use Apple Maps.

And, what’s to keep 3rd party clients from working? The same thing that currently does: Google and Facebook control their APIs. This isn’t the era of the open internet, and that doesn’t change with an open App Store either.
This author just doesn't seem honest. Reading a few paragraphs in I see that he incorrectly describes the decision as a ban when, in reality, the school board decided to use a different book, if they could find it. Not every change in curriculum is a ban.

Shortly after the author describes one of the complaints against the book as that it includes animal nudity. In fact the book includes drawn human nudity from the images I've seen.

If white supremacists and Nazis had taken over a school board and were trying to conceal the Holocaust - that would be a story. If a school board thinks they can find more age appropriate material for their students... Well, that's their role. Is there some law that everyone needs to read Maus?

In general, the fact that a random Tennessee school is adjusting their Holocaust curriculum based on what they think is age appropriate is a non-story. People like this author dishonestly sensationalize it to get clicks.
The US News ranking is known to be totally garbage, I really wish people would stop citing it. csrankings.org, which tries to be more objective, has Szeged tied with a number of other schools for at 432 globally (of course that's only considering the CS department).

(FWIW I think ranking schools like this is generally harmful, and even "objective" rankings will still have plenty of biases baked in)
They use SHA-2-512 everywhere else already, presumably for post-quantum resistance. I guess it gives them a smaller cipher footprint? They use the same data type in their codebase for hashes? 512 bits is sufficiently future proof? Future use cases that haven't been thought of yet, that require a secure hash? 64 bytes isn't that much overhead?

But I'm really just guessing, I'm not sure what their reasons are.

I agree in principle - SHA-2-256 could be a reasonable hash function whilst maintaining the properties of a secure hash function - or less than that if collision resistance isn't needed.

The biggest danger most cops face is being hit while standing by a car they've pulled over. That totals to ~60mins if you spend a full day issuing traffic citations. There are much more significant risks the general public faces in their daily lives.
> If you're a member of a group and that group pulls out a Nazi flag, do you leave the group or do you expect random passers-by to think for a moment that maybe you aren't a Nazi sympathizer?

Does this mean that you should be able to immediately end any protest you don't like just by going to it and then pulling out a Nazi flag when you get there?
And I'm sure none of those trucks going into Manhattan come from distribution centers in the outer boroughs, which are in turn stocked by standard trailers.

Sure you can get stuff around in things other than 53' trailers, but I think those in Manhattan have decided that's a bad idea when they actually buy stuff trucked into NYC on those trailers.
Of course people who get multiple exposures (vaccines, boosters, cases) have a better immune response. That's separate from whether they have a better experience - sometimes COVID causes damage to organs that is cumulative between cases for instance.

The point isn't that infection carries no immune benefits. It's that vaccines always carry immune benefits so everyone should be forced to get one (very rare cases of immune system maladies aside).
It provides far better security than Apple critics believe. Apple haters do not trust the company’s quality of engineering.
I love your tidy website. Peeked under and found persona.co and Cargo Site Builder. How do you like it?
Not to belabor the point, but it seems like you're talking past me, not against me. I said the hospitals would be overwhelmed even if everyone got vaccinated, not that they weren't overwhelmed.
I like this comment from there "The healthy 35yo might not have a bed for something unrelated thanks to freedom fighters with poor understanding of statistics."

I understand. If I have time, I might try some search-engine delving.
According to my totally unscientific benchmarks, if the performance of Rust's regular expression module were 1x, Go's was 8x and Ruby's was 32x, and Java's was 42x. Using Google's Java regex module improved the speed quite a bit but still was at ~18x. I was very impressed to see Rust doing so well. And it was sad to see Java so underperforming in such a typical workload. I know we're measuring libraries not languages, but I think regexes are so prevalent that not optimizing for it would hinder the language's real life performance.
They likely put the kids bedrooms next to theirs because their children are very young, and need attention through the night.
What’s the moral framework here? Globalization, financialization, and deregulation got you all this good cheap stuff to buy in the first place.

If you’re a de—growth proponent it should never have been available. The supply chain crisis is one of the best things that’s ever happened.

But if you think it’s actually bad, what’s the argument here? It would be better to have always lived as if in the jaws of a disaster, to avoid the hedonic adjustment when one actually strikes?
For some reason this has become a political issue rather than a health issue. At the moment Americans are living in an extremely toxic environment where everything is either right or left. Not right or wrong.
> I don't know if this is the SIMD thing, or something else, but I can basically count on 1 full CPU running some zfs process at all times.

Based on my (limited) experience it was really bad before the whole SIMD thing got resolved. There was a huge improvement once they worked around that.
By performance you mean elapsed time, right? So by 8x you mean 8x slower?
>Somehow there's this idea that the Sars-CoV-2 vaccines need to prevent infection or symptomatic disease but that is an incredibly high bar that no respiratory viral vaccine has ever met.

This might have something to do with the fact that "experts" (ei. the CDC, vaccine makers, and politicians in charge of health organisations around the world) explicitly told us in no uncertain terms it would prevent infection. It was one of the main argument for getting it and we were never allowed to question it when a significant amount of vaccinated people started testing positive. We were also told it was dangerous misinformation to question it publicly and it was career suicide for any expert to contradict it. The goalpost has been moving gradually from "complete immunity" to "reducing the risk of severe symptoms".

one of the most interesting thing about covid was to watch people and politician rewrite history. I thought it would be difficult to do in the 2020s but I was so wrong and I wish I had saved screenshots of tweets from health officials and politicians. It's always interesting to watch the face of someone who claim that something is pure misinformation when they realise the CDC themselves were promoting the idea just weeks ago.
scrolljacking is one of the most user-hostile things a site can do
Why should others go out of their way to satisfy your preferences before accomplishing what they want? If you want to get apps exclusively from the App Store, just do so. Apple will certainly keep that option available and easy to choose for you.
There seems to have been no attempt to educate the public on what you should expect from different types of vaccine. When most people think of vaccines, they have in mind the one-shot-and-immune-for-life that you sometimes get with live-attenuated vaccines. Early articles on SARS-CoV-2 being developed clearly explained what to expect. I submitted an article (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30162097) but there may be better ones.
Slackware 9 was my first Linux. I knew next to nothing about computers at the time but discovered the cheapest way to get one was refurbished office machines with no OS. Another student gave me a CD and then things were difficult. Changed my life.
Same with me. One of my friend's dad's when I young held out the RedHat CD in his left hand and the Slackware CD in his right and asked me to choose.

I chose Slackware and he told me I chose well and that I would be strong.
What data do you have that show that masks don't have a statistical impact on spread, mortality, or both? Has this data been corrected for confounding factors and made widely available in replicated, peer-reviewed studies, or did you have to spend a half hour cherry-picking Google results to find it?

The latter question sounds insulting and dismissive, but it's actually posed in good faith. It highlights a genuine epistemological problem about the nature, limits, and validity of our knowledge about the pandemic. I can find studies on PubMed and elsewhere that back up virtually any belief, prejudice, policy, or therapy that I like. So can you. Where does that leave us, except with the obvious solution of trusting our local, state, and national health authorities?
If you want free innovation why not develop for PC? If Apple doesn't think free innovation is a good thing for their app store then it's Apple's loss for losing out on innovative software.

Slackware is really a small/bare bones distro, "old schoolers" like it because in it's time (90s era) just having a Unix like system on a PC was amazing and it is considered very stable, now that GNU/Linux is everywhere today's distros are just easier to use.
Not looking forward to when Verizon, AT&T, and T-mobile all decide to make app stores of their own and put them front and center.

Governments broke the supply chain by literally banning many people from working at all and almost shutting down travel in some cases. That's not a failure of capitalism.
