Wow that is CREEPY AF and very very scary. This is an instant reason to never use Windows because I'd be so scared that I'd leak personal/private data to other people's computers. The really fucking scary thing is that even we both as power users who understand computers, the internet and how things work are even extremely vulnerable to those hostile dark patterns in Windows that less tech savvy family members would be absolute prey to those Microsoft hyenas. There is NO WAY that anyone in my family will ever use a Windows or Microsoft device. It will be iPhones and Macs for them for the rest of their lives.
I mean isn't this the whole point of professional 'Buyers' at large companies who are negotiating with supplliers?

Everything is negotiable it's just that:

A) Most mortals do not have the leverage to open up a negotiating position (not important enough)

B) Most sellers at a front desk may not have the authority to meet you half way in a negotiation.
When the heat pump can't keep up you use resistance heating in the air handler. Since this only runs for a short period of time it doesn't make a big difference in cost.

They “can”, but have you asked yourself why are they working shitty precarious jobs in the first place?

It’s not like their economies are that dynamic and have the liquidity to absorb most of them with decent stable jobs.

We like to forget but it only takes a year like 2008 to remind us.

As noted elsewhere, that's not how overhead works, and vanishingly few grants are in-kind.

Also, expressly, large capital expenditures like equipment are exempt from indirect costs at most universities.

HN's notion of how universities work is probably about as accurate as my notions of how VC funding works.
You don't even have to negotiate on mattresses. At least where I live they regularly do huge 40-50% sales on select mattresses. You just have to wait until the one you want is in the next round of select sales. I bought my last two mattresses with a 50% price reduction on it just like this. You don't have to wait for black friday as they have sales on some items every week. They just switch around what is on sale about once a week or fortnight.

This is also true of tvs and a lot of electronics.

Run tests that try to access data on one tenant from another tenant and fail if the data is accessible.

That tells you that the method your tests use to try to access data don't work, not that it's impossible to access data across tenants. If there's a leak you haven't tested for then your app is still insecure.

It'd be better to think of a design that actually makes it impossible (assuming that's even possible for your scenario).

I think the problem with innovation is more the incentive structure. There are too many people trying to p-hack stuff that just doesn’t work well and spin it to get the next grant, and not enough people actually breaking new ground.
You used to be able to press alt-f2 and then "r"/"restart" if/when your compositor shit the bed, but that was removed without replacement in Wayland... a complete blocker to me using it on certain devices where Wayland support is poor and crashes happen every 5 minutes.

At my institution, arguably my customers are the People of $State, followed by my grant funders.

Indeed, "The student is the customer" is the source of a lot of really pretty flawed reasoning about how universities can and should work, including things like "Am I obligated to pass you because you really, really want to go to med school?"
As soon as Vanced gained too much fame it was a foregone conclusion that Google would kill them.
This is not being curt though. This is deliberately ignoring social conventions in the workplace, consciously withholding information from your colleagues. If I ask you to do something as your boss I expect you to either of it or give ma reason as to why you can't do it. I may tell you to do it anyway. If you are a colleague and I ask you for help I expect you to either help, because I wouldn't ask you to help otherwise and I am probably asking you to do something that is literally your job to do, or I expect you to give me a good reason as to why you can't do what I am asking you to do. If you just say no then I am going to assume that you are literally refusing to do your job in which case you are a problem and I would rather I not have to work with you. As a manager if I get told that one of my direct reports has refused to do something without giving a reason that person is getting a serious talking to and if they do it again then HR is getting involved. Seriously. Don't do this.
Because seeing other windows is a fundamentally privileged action. Also, the implementation of xwayland is basically a nested X - so by using the X screen recording api, it will simply see other X windows.
It takes time to learn, and to learn the value, and time to agree with the team that it's sensible. With this sort of thing - proper naming of variables - I disagree that it takes longer at point of use.

I work as an independent consultant. Few months ago, just starting, one prospective client (through their CFO/COO suggested is shaved 33% of my quoted daily rate. I offered a $50 discount instead on the daily rate because i had heard the CEO on a podcast and I was interested to learn more about their company. We verbally agreed on a daily rate and a weekly 1 day commitment.
At week 5 client tells me they'll pay only 2 of the almost 4 days I had done already cause "they thought the report after the 2 first days was all what was due" BS :(.

1. I should have seen it coming - entitled dude took on himself to get the 33% discount he thought he deserved.
2. It sucked. I spent some time since writing some agreement template and will slowly roll them out with new clients.

I imagine this is very dependent on your hardware. In my case, I'm using a Lenovo P1 (gen 3).

To be honest, I could have survived the segfault thing if I could predict when they would occur. But coupled with the fact that my laptop draws >100W at peak and that my monitors only supply ~70W or so over thunderbolt, my laptop disconnects the peripherals attached over thunderbolt on power peaks. When this happens, Gnome segfaults and I lose whatever I was doing outside of tmux :)

X stays out of my way and allows me to get work done.
It is very possible that general availability of chips like this might press the board houses to develop techniques for accessing all the pins. I'm sure that we'll see some competing creative solutions.

You didn't answer the question. What are these people going to do instead? If we keep eliminating low/middle skilled jobs, what is left for them to do?
This is not about TDD, this is about automated tests.
Stop worrying about the drinking aspect of school. Socializing/networking is one of the golden nuggets of academia, the orgs and clubs really do improve the quality of life and experience of everything else. Just because you're not into it doesn't make it detrimental.
Otherwise, the ecosystem is decent, it's all about profit and marketing in the age where you can be self taught and many are complacent of having trades because bachelor's don't really offer much in terms of salary for some. Intl. students still strive a d see the merit in education/academia's quality but:
1. Raise the wages of professors/teachers
2. Give the athletes salaries
3. Reduce the inflation of job market qualifications
*4. Make higher Ed. Free (in NA+)

If they don't solve these things, then yeah you might see lower admission rates + quality of students' work.
Mostly avoid them because the GNOME devs refuse to make a stable extention API, though. Or, use them liberally in protest of that stupid mentality and watch them recoil in horror!
There are programs and books on this subject. I'm not an expert, and I need this education also; so here's a quick starting point I just found: https://daringtolivefully.com/how-to-ask-for-what-you-want

This may not be the best starting point, but it's a place.

A friend took some coaching class once where they were given "scary" human interaction challenges, starting with very small simple ones and working up to ones where you would expect to get slapped. Not only did it help condition my friend to be more outgoing, but he got a surprising number of "Ok"s. I'm not sure this is the best approach, but it appeared to be effective.

And it reminds me of this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vZXgApsPCQ
You could, but then you would need to make sure you have examples from several different batches to avoid behaviour specific to one manufacturing run, and hope that going forward the FPGA manufacturer doesn't make any changes which keep the same specification but a different internal implementation...

I suspect you'd be better served evolving your FPGA design on a simulator that doesn't model any of the lower-level physical phenomena, and then running the design on real hardware to validate it. But, I know next to nothing about FPGA stuff so I have no idea how useful that would be in reality / how physically accurate the simulation is.
> Yep. Now, tell me how to reliably remotely interact with my MacBook desktop while my partner is logged in to that MacBook and I'm using a separate machine. Note -- and I can't believe this needs spelling out -- I want to see my desktop. Not the login screen, not my partner's desktop.

Wouldn’t Screen Sharing work here ? I have to test when I get home today but I’m sure this is possible.
Let's see, looks like it has been merged in a 3.24.x release, Ubuntu 21.10 is already on 3.24 but most probably the patch didn't land in an official repo bugfix version.
This.

In 2008, state funding dried up, and has not returned, even in places with booming economies.

Federal funding via research grants has been, at best, flat over the same time period.

That leaves only one dial left to universities.
I should've been more clear, Firefox is just an example, my problem is the mouse pointer being affected by heavy load of any kind on the GPU/UI thread.

As coldblues said, it's probably Mutter not having an independent thread for the mouse pointer, X11's pointer handling is independent from Mutter/KWin it seems.

See the demo here to know exactly what I'm talking about: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1241
Messages are usually composed from words, not from random letters, so you don't need to bruteforce all letter combinations.

Also, some messages use a template, for example, a message from an online store like "Your order number XXXXX is ready for pickup" or a message from a bank saying "Your PIN code is XXXX". In this case, all you need to guess is a number.
Same here. If I had to live in an area where negotiating was commonplace and online shopping was an option, I'd be doing a lot more of the latter. See price, decide I'm happy with that buy, decide I'm not, don't. If I don't see an obvious price I assume it is too much, or that there will be a painful (for me) negotiation (or massive upsell to try to avoid).

Unless it is something I really need/want, in which case I might have to step out of that comfort zone. But retailers might be surprised by how much I'm willing to do without in order to avoid that!
This particular 10-year old post does a disservice to Prof. Devlin's work. I actually took his course on Mathematical Thinking and found it quite interesting, as was the book withe the same title I read several years ago. He is able to make certain concepts very clear, and I wish more profs had a similar attitude (many already do!).

That said, I believe most people here already took a course on discrete mathematics including logic and so on, so I don't think it would be particularly interesting to HN audience.
>My advice for those reading is: Try it for yourself! Most of the haters haven't used Gnome since 2004

Until Gnome philosophy and attitude changes I will not touch it. I have vision disabilities so shit looking cool is zero advantage for me, I prefer function over form.

Premium is definitely worth it if you want to support creators while enjoying ad-free playback. However, it doesn't solve the privacy problem at all - if anything it gives Google even more info as now they've got some verified payment details (you can't usually provide fake details otherwise the payment will fail).
> It's not possible to hire Americans to do this kind of work without getting screwed.

It’s worse than that. Even when you try to hire Americans, it’ll turn out that only the salesman/owner are legally working. The actual work is almost exclusively done by immigrants being paid exploitative wages.

It’s frustrating that there is actually money in the industry but such a small amount reaches the laborers.
Barely anyone uses Firefox in the first place.
> they will dramatically increase the starting price if you're a Westerner.

The point is that due to the large different in wealth, the increase is "dramatic" for them, but probably neglible for you.

Why not make someone's life a tiny bit better by not pressuring some some small time vendor in a country with less than a third of the GDP per capita than yours into giving up their share of the wealth that tourism is supposed to bring. Otherwise: what is the point of tourism for a host country?

Imagine making 80k/year, paying $100/night for the hotel you are now stepping out of and then haggling with someone who maybe makes 10k/year over the price of a $30 hat that you would pay $59.99 for if you were to buy it in the US and that takes $5 to produce.

I personally don't just find it rude, I find it entitled.

Negotiating prices within "those cultures" make sense when the playing field is somewhat level. Don't exoticize and take advantage of it.

> You absolutely should haggle if for no other reason than to experience their culture a bit deeper.

That is just offensive. Go to a nice restaurant, enjoy their food, see a museum, enjoy the sights. Haggling is not at the core of anyone's culture.

Imagine a Thai person going to Olive Garden for the immersively american experience of tipping their waiters - and even that makes the tinies bit of sense, because at least in that transaction money flows in the right direction.
9/10 political power, yeah right. That’s why you have things like this being regularly pushed on society from the top down:

But you are still using it as an X app, which uses X configs over wayland’s.
One of the great problems with this is that "Too many administrators", like "Too many regulations", is easy to say, but hard to implement. There's a reason each of those positions was created - often a fairly good one.

As an exercise, I sat down one day and listed the administrators that if I was suddenly president of my university should begin considering updating their resumes. Each one was a problem as a person, but the position was one I would want refilled - indeed, at least one of them was currently running a badly understaffed office.
You kept ignoring the more important point and cherry-pick a bikeshedding topic (the definition of some word) to reply.

> Only activists have opinions...

That's not what I said, but you certainly did say that adult means that you HAVE TO think about those things, in some particular way that is taught in an university.

Adult to me just means you can take care of people other than yourself. Of course it's a subjective definition, but a teenager can read books/go to university and have sophisticated thoughts about the world, that doesn't make them mature.

Here is something to consider though: why is it that you only study critical thinking, scientific method or whatever at the age 18? Why do kids have to fuck around for years, apparently unable to think, before "university"? Why should they? What are they before that? mindless primates?
I applied but didn't get in to MIT undergrad for computer engineering. I ended up attending a good state school instead. Years later, I attended MIT for grad school.

With that context, my advice is twofold:

1. Surround yourself with people who will challenge you

2. Make financial decisions using net present value (NPV)

I've taken classes on four campuses over the years and found the quality of the instruction in the classroom was universally high and uncorrelated with the prestige of the institution. However, I found that I learned more deeply and tackled more ambitious goals when I was surrounded by other students in the most challenging programs. Furthermore, I continue to observe stark difference in the post-college opportunities for graduates that are highly correlated with each institution's reputation.

As for NPV, your chosen field means that the money you save or spend in the next few years will be swamped by your income later in life. Make a spreadsheet that stretches out over your working life and calculate the NPV of both paths.

TLDR: Go to MIT.
I get them every 5 minutes on some of my systems. Much like... everything else in Linux, its really hardware-dependant
By and large, every piece of software that comes from China like this is the same. Barely functional when it comes from a random FTP server in a rarball you got from a link in an email, works best on a pirated copy of Windows XP, and half the time bundles a pirated copy of other people's software itself. You would be extremely foolish to simply look past this and declare that the origin of the software is irrelevant for the sake of dispelling imaginary xenophobia.
At some point, four years of college is going to be more expensive than buying a house. At which point, the rational thing (for most) will be to skip college and just buy a house.
But pay it back to who? Do didn’t go buy paid taxes to fund the universities get a tax rebate one the university graduates start paying tax?
The tools to build a decent remote desktop (less tricks to conserve bandwidth than X, but with sound support) are likely there now with Pipewire et al, but as far as I know noone has puzzled the pieces together for a comprehensive solution yet.

The composited image of the desktop is only available to the compositor. Hence it needs to be solved at the compositor. Since Wayland is essentially nothing more than a multiprocess negotiation protocol for video memory access it is exactly the right place where it should be solved.
Fedora is a seriously underrated distro. Excellent out of the box experience and up to date packages while still being quite stable.
That sounds like a bug in astropy type definitions: did you get a chance to report it as one?

While it can sometimes be undefined behavior (a minimum of incompatible units), in cases like these it should DTRT.

I genuinely don't think game pads work fine even on Windows. The XInput thing really screwed it all up.
This is definitely how it’s interpreted. Especially when a lot of the people in the industry nowadays are clueless PMs who spent college going to frat parties and who can’t do anything in life besides be a PM (or account manager, business analyst, etc), whose first reaction is “oh wow, physics” and the deference begins from there.

Apple's XNU kernel is a derivation of open source OSFMK and FreeBSD kernels, and Apple's Darwin has large components of FreeBSD userland. They use (se)L4 for running their Secure Enclave.

I remember in the early days of MacOS where entries from the FreeBSD release notes would appears as word-for-word copies in the Apple ones.
This is how I get all my cakes. At the end of the day at a donut or cake stand, most of the goods go in the trash.

Even if there is no price flexibility, the employee will often agree to sell you a cake for full price then give you a cake of similar value he was about to put in the trash for free. If they know you always tip and can convince themselves that their employer is also winning, they are highly incentivised to agree.

Sometimes people in a job like this will take the un-eaten cakes home, but in the end they can only find a home for so much free cake.
I’m not familiar with the details of these specific examples, but I imagine it’s parallel to the problems created by Toms giving away shoes in Africa that they’ve shipped in. They actually do a lot of harm because they’ve displaced local economy —- from shoe makers to the sources of material for the shoes etc. In an effort to be charitable they’ve actually destroyed livelihoods and taken food off of people’s tables. If they really wanted to do charitable good they could employ the shoe makers and use local raw materials for those shoes.

The long-term merits of Wayland aside, I must admit that I too find Gnome on Wayland polished, smooth and fun to use. Since 2021, I've preferred using it over the macOS desktop.
Could you link to some PoC hacks that prove feasibility? I’m not saying it’s theoretically impossible - mathematically it should be. I’m simply saying that the message content space is massive, and hence practically infeasible.

Again, all of this is predicated on Google hashing messages client-side and then, secretly reverse-matching them server-side for very simplistic 1-3 word messages?
