Back when this article was first posted, I wrote a rebuttal of some of the key points: https://refi64.com/posts/dont-boycott-wayland.html

Since then, the situation has largely pretty much improved, in particular both OBS and Zoom have support for the screen sharing portals.
> how many additional restrictive laws have we prevented

I mean, we will never know. Any answer to this question can only be speculation. I could as easily ask "how many expansions of freedom have we prevented?" And in this moment of political time I think there are at least a few. But that's also just speculation.

In theory it's supposed to be the constitution itself that prevents these abuses, not the crude instrument of legislative gridlock that prevents all change good or bad, especially in a moment like now or before the civil war where the two dominant political forces can't even see eye to eye on basic structures of power.

Much like, to bring it back to the original point, the Senate is already an unrepresentative body, it does not need the procedural filibuster (a unique creature among legislatures as it exists in the us Senate afaik) to make it one.
WAAS has been available on consumer GPS devices since the mid 2000's and is not "professional" nor does it address reception/interference issus; WAAS provides semi-real-time position refinement data based off drift observed by ground stations within a certain range to compensate for things like atmospheric disruption of the signal. WAAS is built-in to the vast majority of receivers these days.

Multi-band GNSS is what helps address issues around reception like multipath and interference. Receivers used to be pretty expensive, and the number of L5 satellites wasn't that high until the last few years, but now can be found in even a number of consumer electronic devices, and the number of L5 satellites keeps going up (and as more satellites have L5 signals, things will get better.) Several Garmin sport devices have it now, for example. A quick search shows Maxim sells a multi-band GNSS chipset for $10.

There is really no excuse for any autonomous vehicle company to not be at least evaluating multi-band GPS receivers, if only to give more reliable position data in urban environs.

I'd be surprised if at least some aren't using RTK receivers, but this requires a base station within a certain range of the cars, or commercial service (such as that offered to farmers by John Deere.) RTK just isn't that expensive compared to even a single LIDAR unit.

Edit: they can tolerate at least some degree of GPS degradation and use dead reckoning / lidar data in some cases, according to this person: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31940167
For me, the heavy lifting here is being done by you having a network of people that recognize you as the right person to build the thing they need (productivity tool in this instance).

Based on my (limited) experience with startups I would rather have this than a network of funders or great developers or almost anything else you can accumulate before you start.
What I mean includes both a CBDC (or equivalent digital cash issued by federal government, agnostic of how its implemented) and cryptocurrencies. I don't believe private businesses should be able to cut off payments flow like that.

I do also, but separately, not really love the idea of governments being able to block payments either. Obviously there are many cases in which it's good (as there are for private companies blocking them), but I think the bad outweighs the good in the long run for essentially the same reason as speech regulations.

My understanding is that treesitter doesn't do anything with indentation. I believe the issues described in the linked issues are neovim specific.

So it should be possible in theory to use treesitter data to calculate indents, though it seems difficult.
Yes it does.

The solution is to use Pipewire and DBus to connect to proprietary APIs.

The arguement whether it is the correct location to provide a standardised API is a separate one. But Wayland does not support this.
It’s almost like a problem is solvable when you have the right tools and technology.
This was a pretty good resource! Thank you for posting it! I've been curious to hear Stripe's path to their first 1000 customers for awhile.
There's a danger, while steelmanning, that you might come up with an argument that sounds good to you, but it's actually weaker to the opposition. Therefore, while trying to steelman their argument, you actually fill it with holes.

This can happen because you don't understand it deeply enough, but it can also happen because of a difference in values. This is why I think steelmanning is difficult, and frankly a little dangerous. To truly do it, you have to embed yourself not just in their rational thought but also in their worldview.

And I really mean the part about it being dangerous. In all honesty, we aren't the purely rational creatures we think we are. Honestly steelmanning an argument changes you. And maybe that's for the better in some situations, but I certainly wouldn't take that for granted.
Support isn't for free, and even their developer support is good, you instead pay for response times. If OP wanted a quicker response time, then you should pay for much more than just support as a "developer".

It’s worth recalling that a structurally similar problem presented somewhere else on the internet could enter the training set. A non-trivial portion of problems likely just have variable names replaced.
I'm not saying that. Remember I'm saying I'm a super-liberal NYer trying to reconcile how good ppl in the rest of the country can have such different views. First I realize that if you've never met a black/trans/gay/immigrant person, you probably believe the worst of what Fox tells you. So as the progressive movement, we should give the benefit of the doubt to ppl (e.g. don't make a big deal of pronouns; state your pronoun without shame, but also realize that lots of ppl have zero experience w/ non-traditional pronounce so cut them some slack when they slip up). And find common ground. The biggest thing I learned moving from small-town all-white CT where yes, racism was prevalent to NYC was that wow, we're all basically the same. We all want the same basic freedoms and have the same struggles. Don't let politicians divide us and unite as Americans because we're almost all fucking immigrants.
What do you mean modern? And American?

Such music has a long history. For instance Mozart's "Leck mich im Arsch" from 1782 [1]. The title is German for "Lick me in the ass". Or Bach's cantata "Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht" (German for "Be still, stop chattering") which glorifies addiction to coffee [2]. (Turn on closed captioning to see an English translation).

The governments never cared much about how insanely dangerous cars are in the first place and these don't seem a whole lot worse.
Well put, I've also had it boil down to value differences pretty often. The nice thing about steelmanning is that you can identify those value differences more quickly.

One time I was in an argument that was looking to get pretty heated, but with steelmanning I was able to find the underlying value difference, point out that we disagreed on it, and then we just kind of sat there in awkward silence for a second and moved on to play Starcraft.

It was a good day.
It would be cool if you could look thru the car like fighter pilots can. See thru the pillars and other obstructions.
I think you mistake the parent's point. Vim's code is certainly open source (I don't think anyone disputes that), but its development model is not the one we've come to be comfortable with. Moolenar maintains an iron grip on vim, and controls what goes in (and what doesn't) much more strictly than many other open source projects. That is certainly his prerogative, but it's also the prerogative of others to not like that, and want to fork and create something that is more welcoming to outside contributions.
Forking is hardly easier
Ah, yes you are correct! I do remember the Mac security model, and I think it is a much better solution to Wayland.

Don't ban, just make it a user specific choice.
>The system as a whole used C, C++

It all makes sense now. Astounding its legal to use C/++ in a safety critical situation.
Reminds me of one of my favorite King of the Hill episodes:

"Not dogs" are hot dogs made of tofu

Of course there is always "faux fu" for the tofu intolerant.
You are correct, I remember now. Although this wasn't always the case, it has been true for a few years now.
I'm not sure this is because no one wants to contribute. I think it's more because Moolenar prefers to do the work himself, and doesn't like to accept much in the way of contributions from others. He's certainly allowed to run his project that way, but I can see why it might turn some people off.
That's not what the comment said. They said the system can tolerate degradation / loss of GPS data for periods of time, in certain circumstances:

> Fine localization should be able to resolve without GNSS input (with caveats) and there are specific tested requirements to be able to tolerate a certain number of minutes of outage even in the absence of LIDAR before position accuracy degrades beyond acceptable limits.
With agencies allowed to create law, it allowed congress to be exist in this dysfunctional state.

Now, if anyone wants anything done at all, they’ll have to work together.

Despite being irritatingly disproportionately older than the populous they represent, they’ve been allowed to act like children. I see this as a win.
From the users perspective, they purchased a car advertised with a feature. They could see it functioning. An over the air update removed the feature that they had "purchased" and tested. Yeah, I'd be mad as well.

Good that Tesla resolved the problem but there is reason to be mad about a company retroactively removing features from a product.
You're wrong. Do you know the origin of political correctness? Stalin and Nazis loved that.

"Blacklist is racist" is indeed a dangerous overstatement.
Again, are you afraid you might change your mind?

I like to think I have a pretty good idea of why people - whose ideas I find repulsive - believe what they do.

In my mind that means I have the capability to change their mind. The risk I take is that they can change mine.
I’m reminded of the subservient chicken.
Read The Mom Test. It will answer how, where, what, while explaining the tactics in detail.
It would be the height of irony for a crypto company to adopt this stance.
I think of “arguing in good faith” as working to clearly communicate a position, as against working to distress, embarrass, confuse, gaslight or otherwise personally undermine your opponent/audience.

You can absolutely do it for a position you don’t hold, and it has nothing particular to do with steelmanning/strawmanning (and indeed, you can use both techniques bad faith).
Wouldn't the obvious solution be to steelman whatever you were steelmanning against in the first place?
I've always been partial to "khroot"
I find it funny that vegans would even want to associate with food names of products that they abhor. Many vegans say that have never eaten meat, so why would they want 'steak' or 'sausage' fake meat?
Really cool, thanks for the details. It's reminiscent of a plot point in a sci-fi I'm reading, Zendegi - the protagonist is hell-bent on cracking the problem of simulating the brain in a computer, but funding is running out. Her coworker excitedly explains that he's awarded a grant for his project: simulating the interactions of microbe species in latrines, for purposes of preventing outbreaks of disease. He wants our protagonist to jump ship on the brain stuff, says it will always be there, that she can do some real good right now, and the skills will transfer over, she won't be wasting her time learning how to simulate the microbial communities in poop.

(Alas, an eccentric billionaire with hopes of uploading himself to a supercomputer swoops in to fund the mind-mapping project...)
Supposedly, usr was supposed to be “user”[0] but was switched after the Unix guys needed more disk space and split the file system into the / and /usr mount points.

Then /home was made because /usr was filled up with other things.

I mean, when your default use-case includes remote rendering of a GUI to clients, you're going to end up with a complex protocol. In the era of heavy servers and thin clients, it makes a lot of sense.

But when most (every?) computer includes some kind of GPU, local rendering makes the most sense -- especially when that's how your primary competitors work.

I don't know enough about Wayland vs X11 to make an informed statement, but I do appreciate that Wayland explicitly didn't try to include remote rendering. Let's just leave that up to other protocols (VNC/RDP/etc...). Now if we can just get one of those protocols to work on an individual application/window basis as opposed to the whole desktop.
The cost is propping up the clearly broken car centric transport model. Autonomous trains are massively simpler and more reliable. With massively lower risks of harm.

Depends... I think if we want our economy to grow, kicking out potential workers doesn't seem to make sense.

I do think we need control of our borders though in order to enforce things like tariffs, restrict prohibited items, human trafficking etc...
Why does the location matter? If its 10k on your eyeball or 10k from across the room there is the same amount of light entering your eye.
> This is the popular libertarian opinion and it is half thought out and wrong, like most libertarian opinions.

I'm not a libertarian exactly, but it always boggles my mind how the philosophy that at least tries to remain consistent with the ideal of not aggressing on the life, liberty, or property of others receives some of the most derisive comments.

> Would you buy stock from an insider?

Yes, because I understand that corporate employees qualify as people too and need to pay bills now.

But it's important to recognize patterns. If 3 out 5,000 employees are selling their stock in the week before earnings, it's probably just normal bill shuffling. If 3,000 out of 5,000 employees are selling their stock in the week before earnings, that probably means something far more significant. Let the market figure out what the patterns mean.

> Now here is another hypothetical.

IMO, any hypothetical you can come up with can be answered by pointing out that financial speculators perform a useful social service. By trying to buy low and sell high as soon as possible, speculators speed up price adjustments to their optimal point and make stock prices less volatile than they otherwise would be. This ultimately means that price discovery should happen faster and resources should flow quicker to wherever they'd be more useful.

> Should we make bicycle theft legal because it is so hard to catch bike thieves? How about date rape?

A bike thief or a rapist unambiguously violates the right to life, liberty, or property of another human being.

Insider trading is different in that it's labeled as a crime where there's arguably no victim.
Wow, the person who wrote that text has some talent for bureaucratese. It's comparatively rare to see that in English, since the language tends toward clear verbs and the active voice. But here I had to re-read a bunch of sentences to figure out what refers to what, while wondering if I need to take a coffee break. I would say that the author probably moonlights as a writer for NYT or something—if the dryness of the document wasn't quite outstanding, beyond what is still considered fit for consumption.

I stuck an easter egg into one of my game cartridges. The egg was underwhelming (just my initials), but I wanted to prove that it was me who wrote the title. The hand on the cave wall, you know? "I was here" for future generations. Almost literally true, because it took like 25 years for someone to find it.

For another cartridge, Atari gave me permission to do an easter egg, and somehow it just wasn't very much fun and I didn't do it -- I guess part of the thrill was breaking the rules. The first egg was really hard to find because official company policy (probably never enforced, but hey) that it was a firing offense. Once Marketing got involved it just wasn't fun anymore.

The Apple Newton has some well-documented easter eggs. My favorite is the one involving an anagram of our absolutely bonkers GM, Gaston Bastiaens: If you wrote and selected the text "Neat Bong" and then hit the "Assist" button, it put up a list of some of the group's malcontents. Hiding that one in the source code control system was fun. There are others, it was a relatively big ROM for the day :-)
For a while Bram would copy paste all proposed changes from other peoples branches to his own branches and therefore giving himself the git-blame for the code. I think only recently he started allowing other people to actually maintain the repo.

Wolfram Language is essentially Lisp with M-expressions instead of S-expressions, coupled with a clone of MIT’s MACSYMA symbolic mathematics system built around term rewriting.

Mathematica is the Wolfram Language plus a user interface similar to the Symbolics Dynamic Listener that acted as your command line front end. Jupyter Notebooks are quite similar since the idea of a scientist’s or engineer’s notebook where content is “live” is a pretty common one.

I worked in telco when STIR/SHAKEN was invented. I was in the early sessions with Comcast and AT&T and the rest when they were politely asked by tbe FCC to fix it.

Headline: they never had a chance.

Conspiracy: they didnt want to.

- First of all, the legacy telco network is still out there in huge quantities. This is the copper landline to grandma's house. It speaks SS7 and TDM which have no inherent concept of identity: the tekco switch simply inserts the calling number in the signaling, the end. There is no economic incentive to replace any of this old stuff since there is no marginal revenue to be made. It will rust in place.

- the telco network has long supported cases where the caller had a legitimate need to replace their number with another. Your doctor calling you always shows as the office front desk, never their direct line.

- this use case gets even worse when you have call centers and other high volume users. Use of VoIP makes the modern call center possible, but also trivially easy to change the calling ID, and again, perfectly legitimately for the businesses that use it.

- extra wrinkle: offshore centers. now some agent in India needs to present as if they are calling from Ohio. No problem, VoIP can do that. But the same tech that does that also means their evil twin can call you up from an area code that looks like your town to ask about your car warranty.

I could go on, but this is a really hard problem.
