Yes, the hate coincided with "lets make Gnome look like OSX instead of Windows".

I'm forced to use Wayland on my laptop, which sadly means I forced to use Gnome 3. To those saying "try it": I do, it's just not for me. It's choices are just plain weird.

To explain, what a good UI looks like largely depends on display size. On a tiny display like a phone there is no space for window decorations or a menu bar going across the entire screen, let alone a 2nd application window. Which is why iOS and Android have no window decorations at all, and often no dedicated menu button either.

Increase the screen real estate a bit, and a dedicated menu bar that makes all functions faster to reach becomes an affordable luxury along with a task switcher to reduce flipping between applications a single click. Hell, you might even allow the user to display multiple windows. That's what the Apple desktop has, and it made sense back in the day when they were first released.

Scale it up further, and running multiple windows on the same display starts making sense. If you do flipping between application now needs zero clicks. And now you can see the app and it's help screen at same time, and you can happily drag and paste from one window to another. With so much space you can easily afford to give each app it's own menu bar, borders that permit scaling and moving of windows, and more besides.

Gnome3 was introduced as a desktop window manager when we were very firmly in the era of HD displays. And for reasons I suspect I'll never don't understand, they chose the same layout the first Mac's used 30 years previously and even more infuriatingly pressed you at every change it got into maximising your window to occupy the entire display - almost as if it was dealing with a phone sized screen.

As soon as mint / cinnamon / lxqt moves to Wayland, I'm gone.
> I do keep cookies by default though, as a habit, which seems to be in violation of GDPR rules.

Which cookies do you keep? That matters. GDPR doesn't care about cookies, it cares about PII and some other stuff.

For example, setting a cookie called "hello" with the value "world" on the browser of every user does not require consent, as long as this is not used to identify specific user, of course.
Yes, we do envision Spoken becoming a "power search" tool, with sorting.

APPLE.COM isn't signed at all; this isn't a DNSSEC issue.

In the future, if you want to check if something is DNSSEC-signed (things rarely are: DNSSEC is overwhelmingly not enabled on the commercial Internet), you can just `host -t ds <domain>`.
The best resource is probably your local community college or art center. Nothing beats a class with assignments to force you to practice.

And the internet. Just search for whatever questions you have and you’ll get tons of results. Now that it’s all digital, you can try a bit of everything and see what you like (and ignore what you don’t).

Your hunch is likely right. I believe that Minority Report interfaces (or better) are coming where the computer display or programs simply float around you.
Gogoro is a completely different model than Lime/Bird/Spin/etc. With Gogoro you subscribe to the battery swap service and own the scooter. Also, it's a sit-down scooter (more akin to a motorcycle) that can go 90 km/h, not a stand-up kick scooter.
Microservices work well if your contracts are well-defined, domain knowledge is limited, your team is under the size of a pizza, and your platform needs are diverse. Eg: Some small teams prefer containers, other prefer managed containers (serverless), others prefer small VM's.

SOA works well if your teams are larger and have larger domain (or end to end, however you want to call it) knowledge.

Monoliths work well when the domain of the application is singular, the team is large, or if you're in prototyping. The big downside for monoliths is that their scaling model must be considered in advance or engineers can tactically corner themselves with architecture. That incurs big, expensive rewrites as well as time.

While Conway's Law may be reflective of the enterprises use of (or overuse of) microservices I think it really has more to do with a different enterprise habit: understaffing and budget constraint. Microservices and client-side applications, from my perspective, very rarely have long-term maintainers. Instead, things get done in cycles and then for most of the year a given service does not receive anything besides some maintenance updates or low-hanging fixes. That makes it look like a microservice is expendable and easier to replace to the people who manage resources, staffing, and budgets. Thus, things now look "modular" to the people who fund the ship that everyone else drives.
Please don't selectively quote, the full sentence is "In return they got free labor and payed their debts forward to the people who originally mentored them."
But none of these things are true. You are wrong about all of it.

> If we knew you murdered someone, we'd know you were a murderer.

That's a tautology. Imagine if I were accused of murder. Do you not think that you would be more inclined to give me the benefit of the doubt that I might be innocent if you knew me than if I were a stranger?

> It all we knew about you was that you were a friend of a professor that got you into your graduate program, we could not possible think much at all of you.

What if the professor told you that I was worth admitting? Would you not lend credence to their assessment?

> I choose to believe you are a rocket scientist.

Why? Because I said I worked at NASA? How do you know I'm telling you the truth? Even if I am telling you the truth, how do you know that I got my position at NASA on my merits? For the record, I did not. I got it because I knew someone. And the person I knew got their position because they knew someone.

This is not to say that I was unqualified, or that my boss was unqualified, or that we got our jobs purely because of nepotism (though that does happen as well). The situation was that JPL was actively recruiting people, and one of the department heads recruited my boss because they were grad students together at Yale, i.e. they knew each other, and my boss was my Ph.D. advisor, and so he recruited me because he knew me.

Personal connections give you access to opportunities that you would not otherwise have had (might not have even been aware existed) and the benefit of the doubt if you screw up. It's not like you can just go have a beer with a professor and get in to Stanford without doing anything else. But personal connections tilt the scales very heavily in your favor, and vice versa.
> What do China or India have to win by choosing a side?

China already chose a side. They are a party to the Budapest memorandum, they acknowledged Ukraine is a sovereign country, with its 1994 borders. China and India are parties to the UN Charter, and as this is clearly an unprovoked attack, a war of aggression to expand borders, is illegal under article 2(4). China and India are obligated by article 2(5) to do more than they are doing.

>US was waging war across the Middle East for the nearly the same reasons as Russia

Wrong. No major powers are backing Russia, the overwhelming majority of nations have condemned it and insist Russia should cease the attack. Russia insists upon the right to expand its borders, that's how this war got started in 2014, that's been the consistent position at the negotiating table now. They want territorial expansion and subjugation of the Ukrainian people contrary to the same Budapest memorandum they too are a party of.

Iraq had over a dozen UN resolutions against it before the 2003 invasion. 31 countries were party to the multinational force. (I think it's wrong that invasion occurred without UNSC approval. Nevertheless this was not a unilateral invasion.) And most importantly it was not a war of conquest, nor one to expand borders. Very much unlike what Russia is doing.
no matter how close you think it is, it is closer than that!

AAPLIMG.COM isn't DNSSEC-signed either.
> they are fairly comparable in compile times AFAIK.

Yeah I can confirm that. I have an 8 core ryzen 5800, and its performance when compiling rust code is almost identical to my 8+2 core macbook pro.

The macbook pulls ahead slightly in single core performance, but I think the ryzen takes longer before thermally throttling - which makes sense given its a desktop workstation.
If there is no way to tell Wayland application that it should scale by fraction then application can't render with such scale, no? This leads me to assumption that fractional scaling happens at compositor.

By native scaling I mean absolutely no bitmap scaling. If rendering happened at target scale then all pixels would match grid and no artifacts would be possible. I can't even imagine how ClearType could work with bitmap scaling when it targets individual subpixels.

I think people have wildly different sensitivity to resolution. I know some that can't tell difference between 4k and 1080p and 1080p scaled on 4k screen. Some crazy people even think MacOS has good font rendering.
I bet you could achieve the same results in a lot less time with a lot of glue.
When do you use the car then, just personal travel? Without a commute your weekly charging needs should be pretty low.

Charging definitely doesn't cover everyone yet but I think a lot can change in a decade, and running AC circuits off of the existing grid seems more feasible to me than mechanical battery swap stations that work across different brands and models of car.
My point was just that this seems more like an issue for a business with low profit margins and low wage employees — not engineers, especially for a profitable company (i.e. not some early-stage startup relying mostly on equity). In this case, if they were making $20M/year with on the order of 50 employees it seems very short-sighted.
Yeah. It is mostly small american city newspapers in my experience, haven't seen much other than that.

At least that one. Sounds like they had others that were smaller that were used instead?
I think no matter how one gets to this perspective, it’s the only way out. We must care less, because if we care too much, we can’t handle it and we fall apart. Humans aren’t built to live with constant fear and stress.

Of course that needs to be balanced, (eg with the environment) we have to care enough to act, but not be so attached as to lose our grounding.
Last time he met Putin, he gave Putin a list of things not to attack.

Very clean, tasteful formatting. Easy to read. There's even correct splitting of long argument lists over multiple lines: [1], [2]. You don't see that very often, most programmers have awful taste about this.

I have some qualms with these one-line early returns though:

if (commit <= self.commit_min) return;

Control flow statements should always be on their own lines, then it's easy to find all of them by visually scanning top-down, without needing to look all the way down each line.

Some great research went into this! I'd be wary of the browser advice though:

> For the rest, a 300 mile EV with once-a-week fast charging while they grocery shop is entirely viable.

Assuming you’re driving to get your groceries. That’s also not necessarily a good assumption here.
If you're using it only to make your website work, then you don't need a cookie banner.

However, if it's doing double-duty and is also being used to track users (or to speak technically: if it can be considered PII by GDPR), then you need consent before using it for the tracking part.

GDPR doesn't apply for cookies, btw, it applies for any personal data. Someone above used "information stored using fridge magnets" as an example.

Did you read the linked government brief?

I don’t trust the brief to not be misleading, but reading it at face value is pretty damning.
I'd love a room without a window. I have a giant blackout curtain permanently drawn in my bedroom right now, but light and street noise still get in. I live high enough up that jumping out the window during an emergency would just result in my death plus there are plenty of other windows in my apartment.
I'm genuinely surprised that this isn't already a feature in professional and prosumer camera bodies.
One thing I’ve noticed is that people who haven’t worked for large companies think that if you work for a huge company that money must never be an issue. That’s not true at all. Everyone works for a department within the organization. Your department has a fixed budget. It’s basically like working for a tiny company within a larger company. Just because the large company made X billion dollars in profit last year doesn’t mean that any of us peons have access to that profit beyond our allotted budget.

Cambridge MA had rent control from around 1970 to 1995 (with buildings built before 1969 being controlled and newer construction being market rate). The old, rent controlled buildings were terrible, poorly maintained, and far less valuable than the just a few years newer, but maintained, more valuable, and rented at market rate units.

IMO, that program was well-intended and even reasonably well-designed, but the rental and housing market got healthier after rent control was abolished (and after the inevitable dislocations cleared and the older buildings could once again be profitable to maintain).

We've seen IRBs fail. Transparency is needed too. And good oversight. And FOIA access. And third party auditability.

The use of nuclear weapons is just too obvious. Chemical weapons -at least the ones previously used in various wars- are too. Biological weapons, however, have built-in plausible deniability. Therefore bioweapons and the labs they could be made in must be highly highly regulated -- at least as much as nuclear facilities! And the equipment needed to develop and manufacture bioweapons must also be highly regulated.
> Intel added AV1 decoding to their onchip GPU's in 2020 [0]. Why didn't it begin then?

I don't have any special insight into Sisvel's strategy, but I'd guess there are a few factors. This assumes that Intel isn't already a licensee — Sisvel has 32 AV1/VP9 licensees last I looked, and I believe only a few are public.

- Very little content is delivered as AV1, and where it is used it's not exclusive, so content distributors could easily kill Sisvel's golden goose today. They can't move too soon.

- I imagine Sisvel is happy to focus on low-hanging fruit while AV1's popularity (presumably) soars. They'll continue to build their stable of voluntary licensees until AV1 use hits a tipping point where the ROI for harder targets makes sense. The day Apple announces support for AV1, Sisvel will be celebrating harder than HN'ers.

- When push comes to shove, I'd guess that Sisvel will most likely build a start building legal wins by going after smaller companies first, then work their way up to AOM members.

Sisvel needs AV1 to be successful in order to extract maximum revenue. Qualcomm's support increases the odds that will happen, but it doesn't guarantee it. That necessary success probably happens a minimum of 2 years after broad device support.
America’s Tomorrow City
AC slow chargers (for overnight or at work) are cheap and simple. Basically the same as installing an outlet for a clothes dryer or oven with a circuitry box to act as a relay and monitor.

DC fast chargers are more complex and expensive but still way cheaper than a robotic mechanical battery swap system that works across multiple makes and models of car. And more of these are being installed literally every day:

Tesla: https://supercharge.info
Others (US): https://fastcharger.info

We're getting to the point where many newer EVs are coming with 300+ miles of range that can do an 80% charge in 20 minutes.

The swappable batteries seems like a great solution for mopeds etc. but for giant car batteries I think better and cheaper batteries will outpace any advantages that battery swapping has within a few years.
The point of attorney client privilege is to encourage the client to get the advice of counsel, who can hopefully guide the client to staying within the law.

There are a category of people out there that glom onto a certain subject and though they lack the background and training to fully understand the subject, they piece together enough topical information to sound insightful and knowledgeable. It is dangerous to get into discussions with such individuals as they can effortlessly pivot to meta-physical mumbo jumbo or at the very least, obfuscate the subject matter to where one simply gives up the discussion. They can usually be exposed by asking them to break down the subject matter into first principles or to give a mathematical description of the underlying phenomena.
>>Yet these assholes keep saying just trust me and let’s try more “free markets.”

People don't listen to economists, and it's not "free markets" that are being tried. You're raging against a system where market rights have been increasingly encroached upon over the last century, as a result of politically instituted government interventions, that according to basic economics, reduce productivity growth, exacerbate income inequality, or both.

Two major examples:

1. The rapid rise of social democracy:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/social-spending-oecd-long...

Which is feeding the emergence of a highly paid cadre of government workers:

https://www.hoover.org/research/140000-year-why-are-governme...

To say nothing of the rapid expansion of the regulatory bureaucracy, and the barriers to competition it creates for major private sector incumbents, and highly paid consultants/lawyers/lobbyists who know how to navigate it.

2. The rapid increase in land-use restrictions in the major high-productivity population centers, which according to many analyses, has massively increased income inequality, while inhibiting productivity growth. E.g. this study estimates that reducing land-use restrictions in just three cities: New York, San Francisco and San Jose would increase GDP by 36.3 percent:

I saw many comments above included stories from Taiwan. If you are not aware, Taiwan has an incredible amount of rain, yet there are scooters everywhere. I never understand how scooters remain so popular!
Basically, yeah. I generally don’t need it when I’m in the city. It’s only when I visit friends and family outside the city that I use it; most of them live in the suburbs since that’s where I moved from, and you mostly need a car to get there.

Anyway, not suggesting that battery swap stations are particularly practical for electric cars? Those have huge batteries. But if stations for electric scooters as mentioned in the article get any traction, that’d be a win I think.
Aaaand not a mention of global warming. Just abstract "environmental regulation". And it seems to only care about 1970s era regulation.

An article bemoaning the flawed state of modern economics also reflects the fundamental flaw of the culture of economics-the-study: not a flying fuck is given about existential environmental dangers and the very very real role economics-the-institution played in downplaying, avoiding, exacerbating, and denying their existence.

This despite an ever growing flood of REAL science that backs it up. The non-science of economics was in denial the whole time.

I was hoping this article reflected progress. Instead, it is the same old crap.
