The "creators of the new screen thing" are the same people that "maintained the old screen thing". And didn't want to do it anymore, because it was terrible. And nobody else wanted to do it either, because it was terrible.

After 3 years someone finally stepped up to do an Xorg release and had to immediately roll back the main new feature because a massive security vulnerability was found.

I'd really like to watch steelman debates. For instance a Marxist and a Hayekian debate from each other's point of view. Judges vote according to the quality of the steelmanning rather than the conclusion. So a partisan that makes a weak argument to protect his own inverse position loses even if his own position is obviously right.

Before the debate I would judge the quality of the position by the willingness of its proponents to honestly steelman its opponents, tending to give them a better grasp of the big picture.
I can't reproduce this. No leaks in valgrind for me.
This and scaling are literally the only ones I've ever seen "in the wild," and in my experience hasn't been remotely close to a deal breaker for most.
"Redshift" doesn't work, but there are many alternatives that do work for Wayland like Gammastep or Wlsunset.
It's a "there's a solution planned / being worked on". It's not solved until it works for people out of the box for pretty much anything they want to use.

Paraphrasing Charity, "approved protocols don't matter if the users aren't happy".
I don't know about the GNSS pipeline specifically but I used to work at Cruise, and most things at Cruise are written in C++ (although there's a smattering of Python for data/ML code that runs offboard).
Maybe the whole "threat to democracy" thing? The SCOTUS, with this and recent rulings, is saying laws should be up to the democratically-elected legislature.
That plus the way some recent justices were added is likely why public confidence in the Supreme Court is at the lowest point ever recorded: 25% in a recent Gallup poll.
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.
Having read through the abstract and the first example of the specification I'm highly skeptical that the W3C process worked to produce something that is actually useful, in the sense that it ends up widely used.

DID kind of strikes me as ASN.1 "with crypto/distributed ledger" stuff tacked on top of it.
I run wayland (sway) on FreeBSD with intel graphics. It runs fine. My only FreeBSD-specific problem is firefox on wayland on FreeBSD always has a "stuck" tab that you close and it doesn't actually go away. It just becomes non-interactable and wastes space in your tab bar.
This is exemplified by powertool brands which have distinct color schemes for their Tools: Milwaukee (Red & Black), DeWalt (Yellow & Black), Fein (Orange), Makita (Teal), Ryobi (Chartreuse), etc. Some competitors have similar but not identical color schemes, for example Milwaukee vs Craftsman, Fein vs Ridgid. Though I don't think any "own" the colors in the color schemes --but I could be wrong.
> Bitcoin can handle 7 transactions per second, on average. VISA can handle 1,700.

You're not comparing the same thing.

A Bitcoin transaction that makes its way into a block is settled within ~10 minutes and irreversible in ~60 minutes.

A VISA transaction is an IOU between the customer, VISA and the merchant. The merchant won't have settled funds for up to 90 days. VISA settles with the customer anywhere between a day or week, but these transactions are reversible for up to 90 days. VISA settles between bank accounts at best daily.

If we are comparing like for like, use of the Bitcoin Lightning network is far closer to the service offers of VISA, and the lightning network scales the Bitcoin network far beyond 7 tps.

>I won’t really comment if I trust Chase or Coinbase

Bitcoin gives you the option to trust nobody. You are able to interact with the Bitcoin ledger without trusting any intermediary, even if the majority of people will choose not to. This is not an option with the existing financial system.
Well California’s most recently completed desalinization plant took 9 years to get permitted. That’s not the time to build, just the time to get a permit, so I wouldn’t hold your breath on California building any more desalinization plants
Wacky trademark idea:

Every year, all trademarks are put up for sale by the government.

The sale is a sealed bid auction. You can buy your own trademark. If you care about your trademark a lot and don't want someone else to buy it, you better bid a lot to be sure you keep it.

Revenue from the sale goes 99% to the previous owner, and 1% as a tax to the government.

Effectively the end result is a "trademark tax", where the tax amount is a fraction of the market value of the trademarks.
> The full Starlink satellite system doesn't have 4,408 sats. That's just the Gen 1 constellation. They have committed to completing the Gen 2 constellation, with an additional 7,518 sats, which each provide many times more bandwidth than the Gen 1 sats, by 2027, well in time for the RDOF.
> Someone using your (for example) MIT-licensed code in a closed-source commercial software project doesn't "un-free" the code

It’s the users of that closed-source commercial software that lose freedoms.

I think it's fascinating how general opinion seems to be becoming more neutral on Wayland compared to the rah-rah days I remember, probably around 2018-19. I personally could never use Wayland - I was pretty set in my i3 config, so GNOME switching to Wayland didn't affect me, but I always had PCs with nvidia GPUS (I like playing games, sue me) and while admittedly, nvidia wasn't working on good faith either, I don't think nvidia users deserved the attitude they got from eg. Sway. Despite that, the amount of effusive praise Wayland got on HN and some linux-centric communities had me jealous. What changed over time? I see that this gist was made in 2020, was it the issues with screensharing that became more pronounced due to COVID induced WFH? Did some major distro enable Wayland by default and therefore brought people out of the woodwork? If someone knows what the history is here I'd be delighted to know.

Of course, it's entirely possible I'm misreading the history here: Wayland could've been widely despised back then, or maybe this thread is an outlier. Either way, I'd be happy to see if anybody's got a good pulse check.
In the US, at least, most commercial sausages are made with artificial casings, rather than gut casings. I'd be surprised if that wasn't also the case in France as it makes industrial-scale production a lot easier without much difference in end product.

Despite their efforts, dictionary definitions aren't always in sync with common usage, and it seems obvious that the latter is what we should regulate on.
Show me where I can buy a permanent domain directly from ICANN and be sure that it will be stored forever without ever relying on a single company or system to keep working and I will suggest it over any blockchain solution immediately. The problem is that it does not exist and it probably never will, and thus this is the next big thing.

Also relevant LOL (although you're right when it comes to blockchain and cancer, this is nonsense, I just though it was funny):

Seems strange to trust your assets with a centralized entity, one of which that can turn you away for any reason when accessing your funds, that charges you for withdrawing at a different bank’s ATM. Further, an asset that has been insanely inflated over the past decade and suddenly raised in value by a central government through mandated interest rate hikes. Yikes!

I use gold, my gold is always worth the same amount of gold. No dumb fluctuation and I have no problem in finding people who will take it. One second to transact? My handing the gold to anyone I choose is instantaneous and can be done in private. Gold solves all these problems, anyone not using it must be naive.

I feel the same way. Legacy vimscript certainly had some warts but vim9script has been much nicer IME than lua. Elsewhere I've likened vim9script to typescript 1.0. It has just enough types to be useful but not enough to let you go down a rabbit hole. That's sort of the sweet spot when scripting another application.
We used to have a bantam chicken and we'd regularly see the neighbor's cat sprinting through our garden being chased around by a small, bite-size chicken.

The kingsmen! First film has the president and the business elite using climate change as a ploy for word domination or something like that. Second film has evil pharma exec and evil American president planning to kill every drug user in America. Saved by a group including a good old boy who dies singing “country road”.

On the more liberal side: don’t look up. Features a ton of frankly disingenuous takes that imo are not presented as hyperbole. Personal dis favorite being the dumb conservative military man showing trying to shoot down asteroids in space with his small arms machine gun.

Both films are divisive and dishonest in their depictions of “the other side”. Both are more populist than democrat republican specifically
Sadly the topic of lactose intolerance is rife with misinfo, biases, and dogwhistles, hence my rapid-fire questions in the previous comment. Most commercial yogurt products sold in grocery stores today are heavily laden with sugar and so mildly fermented that their probiotic quanlities are nearly nullified. Commercial unflavoured kefir is slightly better, but the overall probiotic effect is still questionable since we don't have affirmative answers on how much of the microbes can survive through our stomach acid, or how much of them can establish in our guts vs. heading straight for the exit like passengers on a roller coaster.

As for the spelling of yoghurt there's no correct version honestly, they are all transliterations of the same Turkish word https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogurt#Etymology_and_spelling
They're not talking about programmers, they're talking about a lot of everyday people who you would expect to respect you as a person, but would in actuality prefer for you to suffer and die.

That's the reality a lot of people face, and the people who don't face that are completely oblivious to it.
> The problem is, consumers aren't actually confused.

Nonsense! I was tricked. They:

* make the products look like real sausages and cheese

* sell them in the same packages

* label them in large letters as the real thing

* write "vegan" in small letters

* put them next to the real things

It's all done to trick people.
Thanks!

Glad you like it :) We're really proud of C2V and DOOM.v.
It's a well-known argument. It's also widely recognized as highly subjective, starting with the notion that upper bound must be exclusive.
Depends on what you mean and what you think driver behavior will be like. "Able to avoid hitting other things in a dense environment, but may not make forward progress" is fairly straightforward from the current state-of-the-art (though not necessarily easy!).

There's a reasonable argument to be made that making forward progress while remaining safe when intelligent agents are willing to play chicken requires a good theory of mind, but I can't formalize it. It's "just a hunch", but that seems like a Hard Problem to me and not necessarily something we'll completely solve soon. There's been work along these lines with statistical/ML methods, but my personal suspicion is that existing work would quickly fall apart in a truly hostile environment.

There's also the discussion around navigating non-roads, potholes, and other infrastructural issues that the industry hasn't solved yet. I don't think these are insurmountable, just difficult engineering issues.
Coaches and teachers have tremendous influence in students lives. If this coach can allegedly not require but allow students to join him in prayer during a school sanctioned event then why can’t teachers lead their classrooms in prayer?

I suspect that is what this opens the door to intentionally.
I don't know what the story behind your account is, but it looks like you've been posting mostly in threads on this one topic for a couple years now. That's not cool on HN, regardless of how good or bad you feel a programming language is.

(I noticed that you've also posted a few comments about other languages, like Rust and C++, but they're a minority of your posts, and unfortunately quite a few have been flamewar comments too - which is not what this site is for.)

HN is for intellectually curious, respectful conversation on topics that interest you. Since agenda-driven or single-purpose accounts aren't compatible with that, we don't allow them here. We also don't allow trollish usernames (see https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...), which given the account history, this looks like.

I've banned the account for that reason, but if you want to pick a different username, we'd be happy to rename it and unban it. hn@ycombinator.com is the best place to let us know what username you'd prefer.

It would be good to review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and make sure you're down with using HN as intended, too.
Let's say you are using a Linux workstation and you fire up ngnix on it to host some web site for testing.

You then ssh into a remote server and type "curl https://your-workstation/some-name-here". In this case, your local machine is the server and curl is the client.

This is exactly the same as in the X server case. Your server is running on your machine, and the client is running on the remote machine (which happens to be a server).
I've heard people say this and I don't understand the "terrible." What do they mean by that? In my experience, "terrible" is provably false, in that in my work I work with lots of differently skilled people using Linux for lots of different things. And I encounter ALL KINDS of Linux headaches, and exactly zero of them have ever been with X.
His suggestion is reasonably cheap, however. The sawing machines already exist for embedding the car sense wires at traffic lights. Reusing traffic lights (where there will be power and may be a telephone or other connection) could work for this.
no, that's not my point. I'm saying let's not pretend that there are no double-standards around the current situation, the current victim wasn't that much concerned about their moral stance not so long ago, as long as it was beneficial to them to aid their military ally in a similar oppression of a weaker state. And no one dared to sanction them.
I fully support Wayland, but also also recognizing its problems. Most of it boils down to apps that don't natively support Wayland, or incomplete support for some use case. Otherwise I think Wayland has been great.

> The robotaxi can only compete on price because that's its only advantage.

With robotaxi you get a driver that:

- never gets tired
- never gets distracted
- never gets drunk
- never gets upset
- never falls asleep
- has reaction time in milliseconds
- ...

Of course it has tons of problems of its own, but it's not like price is the only advantage over human driver.
Thank you for the informative and well-article (despite the fact that it is an ad). I'm wondering what difference between Hathora and SpatialOS. As I understand it, they both offer similar benefits.

A theory: this decrease in gut microbiome diversity directly correlates with an increase in fatigue.

Ever since the first time I had antibiotics I've suffered from chronic fatigue, I'm pretty sure there's a strong connection here to the bacteria in my gut as it often feels like the main symptom is a reduced ability to digest food.

> Would you say the Democrats against legalization too?

I think the current crop is largely apathetic about it. The Party rejected legalization in the 2020 platform. https://www.marijuanamoment.net/democratic-party-delegates-r...

I agree, the only thing I have an issue with is hypocrisy or lazy politics.

"Sure, nobody can make sure every single thing they touch, up and down the supply chain, is pure good."

The above is an agreeable statement, but in reality a cop-out. Doing better means putting in a lot of effort and giving up comforts, something I see extremely few people do at any serious level.

Another example: I saw some lady freak out on Twitter as she saw some ridiculously oversized pickup truck in her street. Filming it, harassing the driver, and loudly calling for such cars to be banned.

She has a point. The problem is though that there's very few such cars. If we're so serious about caring about climate change, it would be way more effective to ban the sale of TVs over 55".

And now...surprisingly few people are interested in the planet anymore. She doesn't want to give up even an inch of comfort, literally.

So that means you just don't care. You only care when it doesn't affect you.

Still you're right, any progress is good progress but at the same time I'm tired of this style of politics. Always claiming perfect morality whilst there's close to none.
> The fact that relatively small states like Delaware have as much representation in the Senate as large populous states like New York is by design, and was a critical for the creation of the Union in the first place.

Yeah, but conditions have changed somewhat since 1787 — not least, what genteel white Southern ladies used to sometimes refer to as The Late Unpleasantness (1861-65).

> One thing that stood out was that he said, it's actually bad to be profitable when you're growing.

This doesn't sound like a great strategy to me. This is why I'm not investing in "no-profit but growth" except for the stock price increasing in the short term.

So where was it documented that he was coercing other people? It is certainly a fact that other people, players both on his team and other teams, did choose to join him. The schools argument for him to stop was that the administration felt that players might feel compelled to join him against their wishes, but is there literally anything that was entered in to evidence that he forced anyone to join or punished anyone for choosing not to join him? I don’t think so. He chose to pray and others chose to join him.

Frankly, I think the argument to support Kennedy was pretty compelling. The first amendment allows for the free practice of any religion by the people. It makes no commentary on the government specifically censoring any religion. In fact it appears to be just the opposite. The text reads that the government has a duty to not act at all when religious expression is made by the people.
