I don't disagree with anything you've said but I would personally take this line of argument a step further. I think Bram learned from the neovim fork. Neovim bolstered the existing lua support by reducing the impedance mismatch between the lua language and the vim host. A lot of people enjoy writing lua more than vimscript but the value-add hasn't proved compelling enough for people who didn't mind vimscript. The official neovim repo still has twice as much vimscript code as it has lua code. Even if you claim vimscript is 2x as verbose that would still leave them on equal footing within the project that is putting lua forth as an equal competitor.

My impression of vim9script is that Bram had a list of goals (clearly outlined in the docs) and saw the typescript project as a model to follow. The docs themselves mention typescript as a source of inspiration for some features. The typescript project had a similar set of goals and managed to gain massive adoption both among people who had previously disliked javascript (due to the improved semantics) and people who had previously like javascript (due to the speed improvements, transpiler ergonomics, etc).
> Firefox will stop updating the window contents but will still accept clicks and keypresses.

I've only ever had this behavior with FF running under XWayland. Are you sure FF isn't defaulting to X?

Yeah. The most of the screen sharing and recording issues are easily solvable.
It just takes engineering time, and time is money.
As from the global user space, Wayland is in minority, for example for Zoom to create proper support.
> If you follow the link you'll see that lots of things passed with fewer than 60 votes.

Yes, I very specifically mentioned that; that means some Senators voted for cloture, but not for the bill. Not unusual. It still needed 60 Senators to get to a vote, but only 50 to pass that vote.

> The number of votes per year is clearly growing.

Votes per year isn't the whole story. More votes on smaller-scope, less meaningful legislation isn't an improvement. You're not going to get any program like Obamacare, Social Security, the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act, etc. through this sort of Senate. Obama couldn't even get a SCOTUS nominee past McConnell.

You also may have a different config. For example, I use fractional scaling on my laptop (1.5x) which means firefox sometimes crashes when I open the menu, but when I'm using my external monitor at 1x scaling it runs fine so you'd never notice.

> Tesla just laid off its whole self-driving department.

I had to check since I hadn't heard of this. All the sources I checked were about 200 low-level employees who were mostly doing manual annotation of images to help improve the algorithm. Not developers themselves. Definitely nothing about laying off "the whole self-driving department".

From https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/28/tesla-layoffs-autopilot-wo... :

"Most of the workers were in moderately low-skilled, low-wage jobs, such as Autopilot data labeling, which involves determining if Tesla’s algorithm identified an object well or poorly, according to one source."
I re-read your post and while it's not overly aggressive it's the difference in tone and approach that get you. The original poster was like the hippie encouraging home-made yogurt and you were like the school principal saying 'this is bull, store yogurt has scientifically the same benefits'.

Thai country music can be deceptive to foreign ears due to the almost standard rhythm that comes across as retro pop due to its usage of brass/electronic music. However, is it just that, a "base" that is similar sounding across every song - it is the lyrics are the meat of the thing which is a problem unless you speak the language.
I trust everyone realizes this is literally the same thing as "ideas are worthless without execution."

I'm still reading this, but I have this nagging feeling about how great it would be to team up.

My programming language chops are not cutting edge, but im bleeding edge in real-time distributed systems. I've built https://www.adama-platform.com/ and im playing with the language to map idioms that work to a language which can enforce good discipline.

Now, im highly unfocused as im an retired monk code machine (i just turned my serverless VM into a tiny webserver so i can build a serverless twilio bot. I'm curious about things, so I plan to deep dive into this and provide feedback in the coming weeks.
Style shift angers people because its a violation of what they liked about the series.

The first two games have a very consistent Disney-like style that was common Lucasarts adventure games of the era and earlier. The third game is flashier and more stylized take on the same thing, but ultimately still looks fairly mainstream American animation, a bit more stylized, just more like Don Bluth having a very bad day or Nickelodeon with a huge budget than Disney. The fourth game is essentially the same style as Curse, just in 3D - and it was clearly a bad decision, aesthetically, to go 3D - the tech wasn’t there. Tales, which isn’t exactly a sequel (specifically my understanding is Gilbert regards this as Monkey Island 5, not Tales), is a more successful attempt at essentially the same look as the fourth game.

Ron Gilbert really underestimated the artwork direction Steven purcell(Sam and max) brought.

This is probably the George Lucas star wars prequel effect in action. Some people NEED editors and feedback. After playing Thimbleweed Park, Im convinced Gilbert is one of them. I have no doubt the backlash against him will only get worse as people actually play the game ala the star wars prequels.
> 4: DeepMind on AGI (podcast transcript). Co-founder Shane Legg says that "maybe we will have an AGI in a decade". Other co-founder Demis Hassabis says "I wouldn't be super surprised in the next decade or two." Hassabis also reveals that he's asked Terence Tao about working on AI alignment (no sign Tao is interested).

Fusion-check: confirmed.

(By which I mean, the statement "AGI will happen in 20 years" will be true for the next n+20 years, n being a large number.)
I'm in my 30s and I don't have a drivers license. You don't need a car at all in any city that's built around public transportation. I've lived in Tokyo for many years, the greater metropolitan area has something like 38 million people, and I think a majority of households does not own a car in the prefecture. God gave us two legs, they work wonders between train stations.
What are you rattling on about? The title says nothing about the judicial branch, it simply makes the claim (which I agree with) that this is a very important case.
Well one historic way of doing this, was instead of trading directly in minute quantities of gold, people would store larger amounts of gold in a bank and trade contracts that represent certain fractions of what is stored. This was called "currency".
And some cheddar cheese. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacticaseibacillus_casei is theorized to be a sort of a halo probiotic - it doesn't do the work, but it makes you GI tract more hospitable to the bacteria that do.

There are cheddar cheeses though that barely rank the name. Quality over quantity here. Buy the small block of fancy cheddar, not whatever name the food megacorporations are using locally.
Relevant subreddits have worked for me. Some posts got to a few thousand upvotes and were shared on Twitter and by some weekly substack newsletters and then picked up by small news sites. Eventually it ended up in a New York Times newsletter and was syndicated to a lot of news sites around the world.

My general takeaway is that popular Reddit posts now fuel a portion of traditional journalism.

I, for one, did encounter a lot of problems with Xorg. Primarily videos that were completely unwatchable due to screen tearing in VLC player whereas under a Wayland session everything worked perfectly. And this was years ago before Wayland was even mature.
Wayland is not preventing screen sharing or recoring.
The API supports it pretty well. Problem is that existing applications need to adapt for its use, and if the demand is low, it is not worth the money.
> It's because the commenter's solution to the problems of waste, noise, pollution, obesity, and people dying and getting maimed through traffic violence, is, essentially, the removal of a technological layer.

It's amazing how driverless taxies are a reality now . It shows how there is progress being made as much as there is talk about stagnation.
> I remember a lawyer or someone told me 'if you ever get into an accident, don't even say sorry'.

Lawyers often say this but it's bad advice (except perhaps for their bottom line). People who say sorry pay out significantly less in damages on average.
So one effectively means:

We, the creators of the new screen thing, are about to break a TON of your old screen things, on purpose.

Now, I'm not saying you can never be that bold -- but if you are, then you need Steve Jobs level effectiveness or you shouldn't do it.

That would be completely fair, assuming the reverse is true as well. That is, being able to sell real cheese as "vegan cheese" to trick vegans into eating it.

I was tricked into buying vegan sausages. They don't deserve protection either.
I know most won't take that seriously, but GodotEngine is a pretty nice alternative.
Godot is kind of the Unity of Unreal. Meaning it is the runnerup but is picking up the pace quite quickly.
And from also working with Unity my personal experience is that the stuff in Godot is a lot more logical than how it's done in Unity.
This is of course a personal preference but it feels like Godot has a lot more "eat your own dogfood" going on
This...seems like complete and total bullshit. It's so bad-faith I'm not going to bother responding to each pseudo-point. They're not wrong in a general sense that Wayland isn't a 1:1 compatible x replacement yet - that part is absolutely true - but this whole "boycott wayland!" nonsense is just done in such a way that I can only conclude malice as the author's objective.

Wayland DOES work with fractional scaling values. It's labeled "experimental" right now but in my personal experience it works fine on both GNOME and KDE.

"Nothing we can do from the $SOMESOFTWARE side so we're closing this issue." stuff is also bullshit. Yes, there IS something you can do from your side software wise, and that's UPDATE THE GOD DAMN SOFTWARE. Steam w/ Wine works out of the box with Wayland and GNOME on Fedora Workstation 36. I just did daily quests in The Elder Scrolls Online with it earlier today. I can even run Elden Ring in the exact same configuration. With a damn controller, no less.

So yeah, this is just bullshit.
Support for 16 TB of RAM is not impressive at all, actually. It just means that that the memory address bus is 46 bits wide. For comparison, AWS has offered 24 TB servers since 2019 based on Intel Xeon for SAP HANA in-memory databases: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/ec2-high-memory-update-new-...

That Russian CPU is also PCIe 3.0 in an era where PCIe 5.0 is becoming the standard. Similarly, DDR4 in the DDR5 era.

Can they manufacture these in volume? With good yields? Can they keep it up even if nobody will sell them chip fab machines and parts?
People aren't identical and they take time to ramp up. You can't just fire someone and then later get back someone exactly as good.

You think people shouldn't discuss this topic (whether to sell data to ICE) at work, but that they should end up on your side of the decision magically? Am I understanding this comment right?
Wayland is/was a terrifyingly toxic way to do software in the FOSS world. If you want to go break things that people love, you might as well go work for Apple or Microsoft.

It is important to remember that the Clean Power Plan, the subject of this ruling, was never implemented. They took this case to strike a blow to lay low the EPA, no plaintiff had any standing.

It is telling that just this particular iteration of the Supreme Court decided that the EPA lacked this regulatory authority; as early as 2007 a conservative Supreme Court ruled CO2 was a pollutant and compelled the Bush Administration to regulate it as such, even though EPA at the time was loathe to do so, leaving no doubt the power of the EPA to regulate.

The EPA's regulatory authority was only ever a question worthy of raising when the Supreme Court's composition changed; conservative judicial radicalism was normalized, hence the ruling. There was no deeper principle behind this ruling.
Living in Canada, an SUV is a useful vehicle in the 4-5 months it snows. Optimum would be to have a winter vs. non-winter vehicle, but that's expensive. And, most models of SUV are really station wagons with different sheet metal and larger tires - only a limited subset are built on a truck frame.
Because expecting standardization of DID methods at this point is unreasonable. A premature attempt to standardize DID methods would be both futile and likely harmful.

It's futile because the future universe of DID methods can't be anticipated now, so whatever wrong set of DID methods W3 promulgated would include both poor choices and omit good choices. It's harmful because whatever future methods might emerge will relegated to a second class for having failed to 'get in' on the initial standard.

Better to avoid prematurely enshrining some arbitrary set of methods and allow a consensus to emerge via practice and exposure. At some point, as the inevitable shake-out of bad ideas and nefarious actors occurs, DID methods can be standardized in a useful way. Yes, the lack of a simple list of SHALLs will impede the immediate adoption of DID for all conceivable purposes, but better that struggle than the next to impossible task of loosening the grip of beneficial parties that have a standards document to wave around.

It's almost like they've learned something over the last quarter century.
I've been in your shoes many times. I worked for many months, solving a problem that I thought needed solving, and then sought users to pay for it. All of those attempts never resulted in success. My most current project though, I am doing things differently. I talked to people and listened to what they needed. I saw an opportunity in what they were asking for, so I started building, while letting them use it as soon as it was even a tiny bit functional. I only invested my time building when there was a positive signal that people would pay for it.

I know this probably isn't what you want to hear, and you've probably heard this advice before. I was like that too, and I ignored it. But it really does seem to work.

Depending on where she works, she may not have an option to use the various suggestions you might get. There are entire suites designed around sending out information to leads, tracking follow ups, etc.

Outlook itself has a lot of tools in it, but the problem is you basically need to understand all the various tools, then cobble together your own system using them, and actually get in the habits of doing the things within your system.

Rules can be a big help with dealing with income mail, to either sort it into folders, tag it, or various other things. Some people make really complex systems that somehow work for them, but I've never been able to get something like that to stick. I just have a bunch of rules that send stuff to the trash or tag things, then have a few smart folders, which is basically just a saved search.

For sending, there are some features for inserting various blocks of text. Email templates can also be saved for boilerplate stuff. Make the template, save it, then when it's needed you can just open the template throw and address in and send it.

There are also text expander apps (not part of Outlook). The boilerplate stuff can be put in there and she can just hit a hotkey or type a couple letters and it will dump in the rest. Espanso is one I've been playing around with recently. I used AutoHotKey for years when I was on Windows, which can do all kinds of stuff to automate your desktop to make annoying repetitive work easier, but it has a decently high learning curve.

For a few things at work I made a little site with PHP to basically make a MadLib where a person fills out a little form and then it blasts out an email with the words filled in. There are probably tools for stuff like this, but it was easy enough to make myself and then I didn't have to worry about getting it approved.

There are a ton of time tracking software packages out there, but it is very likely that whatever she uses it linked to a billing system for the company, so it isn't something that can just be substituted. Most of these things have some desktop apps, browser extensions... something... to try and make it a little easier (but most of them still suck).
Just to make sure we’re on the same page, here is Coinbase’s mission:

> Coinbase’s mission is to create an open financial system for the world. This means we want to use cryptocurrency to bring economic freedom to people all over the world.

It’s not clear to me how selling geolocation data to ICE is within the scope of the mission. In fact, it seems to me that it actually hinders it.

And remember, it’s (allegedly) not just talk for Coinbase. They’re mission focused. They pushed out employees who didn’t agree with it.
> we can just pass laws with stronger requirements

And SCOTUS can knock them down, or make them irrelevant via qualified immunity.

https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-poli...

"The Reuters analysis supports Sotomayor’s assertion that the Supreme Court has built qualified immunity into an often insurmountable police defense by intervening in cases mostly to favor the police. Over the past 15 years, the high court took up 12 appeals of qualified immunity decisions from police, but only three from plaintiffs, even though plaintiffs asked the court to review nearly as many cases as police did. The court’s acceptance rate for police appeals seeking immunity was three times its average acceptance rate for all appeals. For plaintiffs’ appeals, the acceptance rate was slightly below the court’s average."

"In the cases it accepts, the court nearly always decides in favor of police. The high court has also put its thumb on the scale by repeatedly tweaking the process. It has allowed police to request immunity before all evidence has been presented. And if police are denied immunity, they can appeal immediately – an option unavailable to most other litigants, who typically must wait until after a final judgment to appeal."

> Once you start preventing users from executing their use case you turn the user into an adversary.

I'm reminded of an early systemd security choice that killed all of a users processes on logout, for 'security'. Because they didn't personally have the use-case of wanting to fire off long-running jobs, so didn't consider it.

(I'm not raging at systemd, I like the unit files and while I have some concerns about the design, in general I believe it's a positive thing to have around. IIRC this issue was fixed fairly quickly when it came to light.)
