> We really need farm workers, and most of them live in poverty.

Do we, though? As a farmer and software developer, I struggle to find enough farm work to do. I'd take on more work if I could. Everyone and their brother wants to be farmers, though, so there is hot competition and a lot of us end up with only a small piece of the pie.

Per hour it pays more than software. There just aren't that many hours. I would likely be apporaching poverty relying on my farm income alone, but it is also very little work, so maybe that's economically rational?

Would you mind saying what those usability issues are?

Sometimes it's very useful to flag these things up so that they can either be acknowledged or fixed.

Sometimes, if you're lucky, they actually have been solved since the last time you checked.
What would one do if they had half an instruction falling off the end of that window? Save it then deal with it when you have the other half next cycle?

I’m assuming the decode window is aligned, but that may be a bad assumption.
What's wrong with those things? They are different from what I (and I guess you) knew and know, but so what? We did plenty that was shocking and new to our parents, and equally mocked - do you remember? How absurdly narrow-minded our parents seemed? We were mostly right too. Are we going to do the same?

The next generation should not tether themselves at all to what is in our comfort zones; if they aren't going far beyond them, they aren't thinking for themselves. When I was young I remember thinking that the old people were jaded, corrupt, and didn't even try to address their ignorance - and now that I'm 'old', I can see I was right! With power has come all those things - not a commitment to truth, but disdain for being made to learn anything. God I hope the next generation doesn't follow or accomodate us. And to this day, some people I know in the prior generation still don't understand things that are normal to us now as adults, because we grew up with them. I know some that won't wear blue jeans because they see jeans as a symbol of a challenging culture.

They say progress happens one funeral at a time! :)
> But the issue here is not inherently with Linux. It is more so with vendors of printers making drivers.

Users don't care. For them things either work or not. Users are not going to e-mail Brother or Nvidia or Microsoft to fix their issues with printers, video cards or Onedrive. How is that so hard to understand?
When did you last try it? Nobody can factor in 'usability issues' into their considerations, since one person's 'issue' may not matter to another.

From my perspective it has been working well for years, and the alternative stacks all appear to be dying off since Ubuntu has also blessed it.
I'd wager it's just to stoke his ego. If I had a megaphone through which I could reach thousands and they'd all cheer me on because they thought my ideas were great, I'd want to broadcast every good thought I had.
I think you’re projecting, and severely unfamiliar with the software.
Nim does it correctly: https://nim-lang.org/docs/times.html#%2A%2CDuration%2Cint64
Of course, but ARP spoofing doesn't have the same requirements (being on the same L2 domain), and it can be easily defended against at the switch level.

But indeed, this attack requires us to know when (and where) to start sending probes.

> And even if you managed to get past all that. Don't they layer encryption and authentication on top anyways?

That's true of most network-level MITM attacks, it doesn't mean they are useless, as the layered encryption and authentication is not always properly implemented.
I use MacPorts anyway, and for software like this I use App Store since it’s not like I can avoid using my Apple ID these days anyway… (Which is slightly bothering, but off topic.)
Storing data accomplishes nothing unless the agency involved is organizing, collating and sharing that data with others.

Do you really believe "they" have the time and money to do that with that much data, considering 99.999% of it is dross?

I sure don't.
Do they charge you by written bytes? I really don't see the problem with larger function names...
I think that's because "non-native" apps run inside an X server running as a Wayland client. So you're basically getting the X experience :/
Yellow paper disappeared from Russia market.

My experience is very similar. I tried the first iterations of Gnome 3 and was very disappointed.

At some point I tried Windows+WSL but that was a complete disaster.

A couple of years ago I decided to try Fedora+Gnome+Wayland. It is an outstanding experience. Everything is smooth, the UI is beautiful. Now with PipeWire and Libadwaita things are getting even better. After some stagnation, the Linux desktop is gaining momentum again.

There are a lot of hate comments for Gnome in this post. My advice for those reading is: Try it for yourself! Most of the haters haven't used Gnome since 2004. Just try it!
> You don't understand because you're failing to empathize with what people are saying, because it's not a problem you personally experience.

To be clear I support my wife's LTSC install and use Windows 11 with WSL and WSLg for work.

> I don't think even the LTSC edition avoids the UX problems discussed here.

I think it does but please highlight which problems it doesnt avoid.

Do they respect me as a user? What are their capital incentives? If not aligned with mine why do I love them? Can I change my purchasing habits so their capital incentives align? If not, I should probably do something less rage-inducing for my own health.
What are some specific issues? Most of the stuff I hear is either hardware related or some software someone used on Windows doesn't exist on Linux. For hardware issues it depends on the hardware you're using. Since most drivers aren't open source, full Linux support often comes a while after it's released. I don't use the most recent hardware and haven't had a problem where something doesn't "just work" in years. I don't even remember the last time. Not being able to use cutting edge hardware is a price I'm willing to pay because it actually saves you money. This is also why there is a big push for open hardware.
This. It might be true that nobody _in academia_ remembers a good TA, but I would claim that the TA-student relationship is one of the best ways to create a network across classes at uni. Personally I have used connections to former TA's and students in industry on multiple occasions.
Note, no support for hardware encoding was announced by Qualcomm. Decoding only. This seems to repeat the trajectory of VP9, where it exists and is supported solely thanks to YouTube, while the whole world is utilising H.265 for everything else, including recording video on smartphones.

It very well may be AV1 and H.266 will play the same roles in the future.
The key bit is "their machine that they can't see nor access". If I could easily clean out my macbook's fans, I would, for regular maintenance, so it doesn't get to that point. It feeling like I'm risking everything but simply opening it up increases the liklihood that it will get to the point of needing repair.
Note: 4 years of college is probably 2.5 years of school, not 4. It runs 36 weeks a year and unless you are doing something rigorous, it mostly doesn't require a 40 hour week, except in short bursts.
> teens good at math are never teacher's favorites, instead they're called nerds and some are even isolated from the rest, it's quite the opposite in Asia, or even in Europe

Nah, no on is going to isolate you for being good at math. Literally, that does not happen. Isolation of kids that cant fit it does happen and some of those are good at math. But, the "being good at math" part is not what gets them isolated. It is the other stuff and behaviors, roughly in the "poor social skills" (may include "have hard time being assertive about own boundaries") that gets you isolated.
There just aren't enough STEM jobs to cover a fraction of people with financial stability.

> a secretary could get good health insurance for their family and retire with a pension. Today, someone new hired into that role would struggle to afford rent or health insurance for just themselves, and retirement is out of the question.

While I agree that wages haven't advanced outside of a the very few, secretaries aren't a good example. Computerization has made most of those skills obsolete.
I own both a 2019 and 2022 MBP. The former is the loudest laptop I've ever owned when doing day to day compute tasks. The latter is the most quiet. It's shocking how bad the older Apple laptops are.
The latest Gnome on X looks no less gorgeous.

And Wayland is still mostly unusable with Nvidia cards (and no, “buy another card” is not an answer, sorry). Though at least it is technically working, which is already a major improvement. I am optimistic that I will be able to use Wayland in the next 2 years or so.
it's gotten bad enough that I've reinstalled sublime
Absolutely. And everything is extremely confusing, even for "tech workers", which I am.

The other day, I installed Win 11 on a work computer to give it a try. I figured since it's gonna be domain joined and whatnot anyway, might as well go all in. So when it asked for an account, I plug in my Office 365 account, and got all kinds of weird errors, such as wrong password, etc. In the end I gave up and created a regular account. Now it asks whether I'm sure I don't want an MS account, 'cause it's so much greater. Right. Except it doesn't work... Then I try adding the account manually in "accounts". Same issue...

In the end, I managed to add the account via OneDrive, which installed a separate OneDrive. But at least it did it on its own, no intervention needed. But I do have two "one drive" folders in the explorer for some reason, and I can't remove any of them [0]. I don't remember iCloud showing up multiple times in Finder.

Later, I find there's Teams preload. Good, let me just log in. Strange, I added the account, said it was OK for other apps to use, but it still wants me log in. I type in my credentials, and the odd account errors are back. Turns out, that's the wrong Teams! It's teams for the plebs, apparently I needed Teams "pro" or something. At least, Skype had a somewhat different name, as in "Skype for business" vs "just skype".

---

[0] Yes, I know it's possible to change the "shortcuts" or whatever they're called from the registry, but the point is that it's half-baked, it tries to be "helpful" but it's actually a hassle. If I don't want iCloud in the Finder, I can just pull it out of the sidebar. And it stays that way, as opposed to the Explorer shortcuts which have a tendency to come back after updates.
The shortage of electronic components will continue for a long time, and a professional partner who only sells genuine products is particularly important.
It also says that breakthrough cases are "rare". When I saw that I checked the date to see if it was a pre-omicron article. It isn't. This is either unbelievable ignorance or a flat-out lie. Either way, I wouldn't trust any of the non-footnoted assertions in this article.
Seems like some good points and knowledge combined with an emotional over reaction. I use Gnome for the "Hide Top Bar" extension minimalism. The large window title bars are indeed ugly as can be and I guess must be a reflection of some of the disorganization you refer to.
> With gnome, there is no way linux will become mainstream

You can ship turd and make it mainstream (as Microsoft has demonstrated time and time again). Shipping computers linux pre-installed is what makes any OS/desktop adopted in large scale, not design/quality. Ubuntu shipped pre-installed on Dell and a bunch of other computers with strong push from Canonical.

I tried out this service last time bitcoin was in a slump, in 2018. I was out of work, and toying with the idea of commercializing a Norwegian (bokmål-nynorsk) language model which I had trained.

Prices for compute were competitive, but most instances had lousy bandwidth. You don't need bandwidth to run bitcoin miners, apparently.

The people behind it were very friendly and helpful. However, there was an incident in 2020, long after I'd gotten a job and abandoned my ML project. They tried to charge my card a small amount ($1.70), and sent a message that my card was expired, which indeed it was. I asked them what that was all about, since I'd not rented any instances for years, and I never got any explanation other than "that's weird".
Does anyone defend this as being useful for anything? It reads like “angels dancing on the head of a pin” to me…
GitHub already tracks the topic: https://github.com/topics/maintainer-wanted

Might be easier if someone could curate the topic on the GitHub Explore page instead: https://github.com/github/explore/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md

Perhaps some conventions around a main issue or the README linking to the relevant issue (with the repository being labelled)
I personally think the truth is somewhere in the middle, but do you see how this explanation is based on a very loose relationship between action and evaluation?
> Never change your code without having a red test

Now go write a native GUI, a game or an audio engine with that approach.
I would say the opposite: It's just discrimination to deny people those enormous benefits, of knowledge and skills, based on the wealth of their families.

Hmm, the problem is that you are talking to someone who already mostly agrees with you...

I never said that you shouldn't blame Microsoft. That is what I was talking about in my last comment: "Nobody said the blame is all on the users".

You should absolutely blame Microsoft. I actually refuse to even install VSCode because of the telemetry. But again, blaming Microsoft isn't going to get your data back.

It's like having a house but not putting a lock on it. Then some burglar comes in and trashes your house.

Like yeah, blame the burglar. The burglar should go to jail. But even if you put the burglar in jail, all the damage to your house doesn't just disappear.

So put a lock on your door and maybe add some cameras too. Then your house won't get trashed and the next time a burglar comes maybe you can even catch them and put them in jail with your security cameras. Best of both worlds.
Steve Jobs also went for naturopathy for treating cancer (which apparently did pretty much nothing). I don't think one can simply assume rational good decision from these actors except in the cases they could prove they were successful at.
> teaching marketable skills so people can get jobs

From Indian perspective I see this part broken big time as well.

It takes 4 years to graduate with an engineering degree where as the core content could very well be taught well under 2 years.

The first year is common across all streams; so one is taught workshop/welding, workings of ICE and what not. 3rd semester the specialisation topics are gingerly introduced with heavy emphasis on adjacent courses (e.g., CS students are taught analogue electronics). Heavy duty math is taught for 4 semesters (PDE, Laplace transforms and what not). Only from 5th semester do the stream-specific topics start in full earnest. Then there are some fluffy courses which don't make any sense if one doesn't have experience working in as a s/w engineer; OOPs, Software Engineering.

What's worse, the syllabus has only been slightly tweaked for last 50 years or so.

I say this as a software engineer professional of 15+ years; I've had to use less than 15% of what I learnt in those 4 years. It's such a waste of precious time. Engineering education needs to radically change in India. Something similar to trade-school in Germany? Part time theory, part time working/interning under professionals? Even that shouldn't be more 2.5 years IMO.
Just wait till they start running those "native" programs in a VM on a server and streaming the UI to you in a browser for interaction.
I'm hoping future Apple chips have AV1 decode support as well. If Intel, Google, Qualcomm, and Apple all add AV1 support in hardware, it would become the gold standard as far as codecs go. Right now it's all a mixed bag.
Yeah, this is the kind of content I try to avoid. Being shouted at by a guy who uses the word 'literally' in almost every sentence isn't my idea of enjoyable content.

First off, thank you for taking the time to write this. I really appreciate the feedback.

I agree with some of your points and in fact I was originally going to post the video with “[part 1]” in the title, but I decided to leave it out and rename it when I post part 2. I figured this was fine since I say “this is the first part of a series” in the first 30 or 40 seconds of the video (and also included it in the HN post description).

I do agree with the idea of having a focused cohesive theme to a video, but I didn’t really find a natural spot to cut it that didn’t make the video boring or not provide the motivation/context of the end goal (eg “firing an electronic airsoft gun from a computer” isn’t conveying what I want to convey).

The goal of this series is to show the process in detail instead of just a high level overview. I’m hoping to post a high level overview video at the end that’s more appealing to people who don’t necessarily want to dig through all the details.

I think future videos will be a little more scoped because they don’t need to include an in depth project overview. Kinda a focused story within the context of a larger backdrop.

I do agree with the point about audience and I think that’s important in general. However, I think there are several things that seem simple and commonplace, but may actually be important to talk about briefly to make the content more accessible for people who don’t have context on a particular area I’m diving into.

Thanks again for the feedback and I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

When I put together Kal (a compile to JavaScript language, now defunct), I was particular about this and used the sleep syntax:

With some other options for units. https://github.com/rzimmerman/kal#asynchronous-pause
Except from the "political" part of the definition, which everyone understands from the current context that this does not apply, what part do you disagree with?

You are saying "everything works amazingly well". Others are reporting "simple things don't work, sometimes it just segfaults". Of course those other people can perceive your post as a form of propaganda.

I have never used Wayland (I don't have a good reason to try it), so I don't know whether you or GP is correct. But there is obviously a possibility that GP is correct. You could even both be correct, if there are hardware-related bugs that you just happen to not experience.
I went to a college, that shall not be named and was fast from Ivy league, but still has this annoying mindset that the education they provided was for the greater good, and not for lowering yourself to such common activities like finding work.
Why is anyone surprised, Microsoft can do whatever it wants and people still spend hundreds on its OS offering that has been awful for over a decade, so of course they are going to get more abusive to lower costs and raise revenues since people still buy the thing. This is at the heart of Meta (I hate that name) and Alphabet too, the most simplistic understanding of market dynamics should illuminate how this is working. What's weird is the government not trustbusting them and letting Germany cut them down here and there (not because they care about privacy but to make room for their domestic firms) while the once called conspiracy theory NSA are still amassing a monster to make Big Brother look like Little Whimpy Cousin, does no one else see the writing on the wall here?

You really can't even blame any of them for being that way, the public could have a multitude of free alternatives with a bit of effort and yet they rather spend 200 on an upfront abusive and honestly highly flawed OS, pay google to store their photos (and scan them with emerging AI technology) and use Facebook for whatever reason people even use that for. Why shouldn't they find the edge of what the public will now accept, since its changed so much. Such is the nature of organizations interacting with a market or the public (in the case of government agencies which operate the same way just less efficiently). As my dearly departed great grandmother said about this sort of thing between drags from her Lucky Strike unfiltered cigarette while tending her rose garden, "Ya gotta get it while the gettin is good!"

I can still see compression artifacts, so it's clearly not using enough bandwidth. It could probably compress it better if it had hardware available, rather than needing to do real-time encoding in software (since it doesn't have a VP9 encoder either).
I wonder if that's a difference between STEM and the humanities - and I wonder how much of the perception of college on HN is based on that experience.

In the humanities, learning in depth (to express it superficially), exploration, and learning the skills of how to learn in those ways, is fundamental; it's the point. Try a humanities program - you would love it!

I find it hilarious that people even entertain the idea that the only roadblock for MacOS is that it only works on Apple hardware. Gamers would NOT want an OS run by those psychopaths. MacOS is junk.

And Valve/Steamdeck is really just creating even more Windows dependence. Because of Proton everyone just assumes you don't need to make cross platform games anymore, so game devs are just happy making Windows only games.
> the quality of education is mostly the same. The difference in the ranking only really reflects the research output/opportunities and networking opportunities.

I think the point of the top level comment here is exactly what you've said and additionally that the networking opportunities are actually what matter for success.
