I think it speaks extreme volumes that the "methods" of "did" and "com" were both proposed by no-name crypto organizations; "cosmos" seems to be proposed by one guy with a template website maybe unrelated to the relatively major Cosmos blockchain (they're fighting amongst themselves lol); "ens" was proposed by some organization with no website; "evan" was picked up by literally some guy named Evan.

Its not just that they're crypto related; its not even the major players in the crypto space. There are physical organizations you can point to in the crypto space, and if they hopped in and said "yeah this is cool" then that's something. 80% of these organizations have nothing to them. They look like they were formed overnight as this proposal was going through its development.

The only seemingly legitimate proposal in that list, not an obvious planting-my-flag-in-the-ground, is: Baidu proposes "ccp". Lol. Looks like Workday is there proposing "work" as well, that's... something.

I need to read up more on the spec, but that list alone is an extreme embarrassment for W3. Google & Mozilla bring up a fantastic point: What are these things actually going to be used for, not hypothetically, in reality, what is the use case? Its very clear that the Web2 players don't have a good answer for that, and even the successful Web3 players don't either. Is the best response W3 has actually a bunch of nobodies who see something that kind of resembles (but not really) a new DNS, and want to plant their flag in case it gets big?

The problem with a lot of other proprietary platforms is that you don't own your data, so it's not easy to migrate to something else. With git, it's trivial to `git push` to a different platform if you decide to move off of GitHub. And you can at least get your issues out via the API. I think for this reason, as well as network effects, is why many people here are more accepting of GitHub over other proprietary platforms.

This standstill is bad, but it seems perfectly safe.
You are right but mind that you also can't compete on Google's scale. Linux Desktop is mostly volunteer work which means the risk of breaking the same things is higher because a) it'll take much longer to build something better b) you'll run out of resources/motivation c) you'll get distracted d) you won't be able to test it as rigorously.

I don't think it was a bad decision to go the Wayland way at all. But it accumulates because Linux is so fragmented. There's multiple distros, each with their own toolkits, own package managers, own cores etc. And then someone comes along and fragments it at an ever lower level by proposing Wayland. I am sure it fixed a bunch of core issues but look at the cost it will incur:

1. All GUI toolkits will have to support Wayland across the board. Some stuff will break, some stuff will have to be abandoned.

2. After that they'll have to maintain both because it'll take at least a decade or two for everyone to reasonably migrate.

3. The app developers will have to upgrade to this new version of the toolkit. Which they might not be able to do because the changes are too many and too big.

4. The toolkits might even have to backport the Wayland related stuff a few versions. Which would require insane amount of resources.

Is the end result worth it? I bet for a long while we'll be having a way poorer experience due to Wayland. The worst case would be developers ditching X too early when Wayland isn't properly stable. Oh man, it's a recipe for disaster.

I used to argue religion on Facebook a lot (I know, I know).

Also note: Copilot violates the attribution requirements of permissive licenses like MIT as well. Even if you put your code on GitHub with the intent of it being freely used in proprietary software, attribution is still a fair demand.

Not if the Supreme Court rules that the Constitution requires active approval by the legislature, not laws creating a legal framework passed by the legislature.

For example many states require electors for the electoral college to be allocated by law, a partisan legislature may simply appoint electors for their preferred candidates, even if that candidate "loses" the election.
Yes. investors like to see a graph, "up and to the right".

Two remarks from a startup entrepreneur:

(1) Even just for the initial dot, the entrepreneur had to have for himself some good evidence of potential, i.e., that a good line was on the way. This evidence was maybe based on an observation that there was a need in the market and maybe some of his unique technology with a competitive strong advantage for meeting the need.

It is this thinking that has the entrepreneur working on his startup and his creation of the first dot. And if the entrepreneur develops a pitch deck for VCs (venture capitalists), he may explain this thinking. But VC M. Suster in the OP is essentially saying, in my experience I'd say confirming, that he and any VC will ignore such thinking and pitch deck. I.e., that thinking is not "up and to the right".

(2) Now suppose some time has passed and an entrepreneur has several good dots, enough to make a good line "up and to the right", and hears that he might do better to accept some VC equity funding, in the analogy in the OP, to get "married".

(a) The VCs didn't want to do the basic thinking back at the beginning during the construction of the first dot. As the company grows, there stand to be more needs for thinking, for more dots. The entrepreneur may be concerned that such a VC on the BoD (board of directors) who was not ready, willing, and able to think effectively early on still won't be and, thus, will be a drawback to progress for the business.

Or, to be more clear, the entrepreneur, now founder and CEO, can see the situation clearly like on a train track with 5000 HP of Diesel power in an engine coming toward him at 80 MPH: Some months have passed and for various reasons the CEO wants to bet much of the company on some idea for another dot. The CEO has been thinking hard and has some ideas, maybe some back of the envelope arithmetic, but nothing like a line "up and to the right" for the idea. So he has to present his thinking to the BoD, with some VCs who long ago showed that they are not ready, willing, and able to do good thinking and, instead, want only "up and to the right". Did I mention the Diesel engine?

(b) It used to be that for an Internet/Web startup, the entrepreneur needed some expensive capital equipment, from Sun, Cisco, etc. and for those expenses needed VC equity funding. Now, not so much: By the time the entrepreneur has the line VCs want to see, he may no longer need VC cash.

E.g., the first server I plugged together for my startup has a processor from AMD, an FX-8350, with 8 cores and a standard clock of 4.0 GHz, for $100 at Amazon. How does that compare in cost per instructions per second with one of the Sun servers? Similarly for mass storage, router and ISP (Internet service provider) data rates, etc.?

Looks like some VCs what to place a bet at long odds on a horse that just won the race. "Sorry, that race has already been run. You can bet on another race if you want to."
Now that would be a fun hack, no? I bet with the collective knowledge from this thread I might be able to pull it off.

I’m still working for the man, though.

I recall a time that I wrote a program that called for a tape mount and a file to be read where this file spanned 2 volumes. There was a 3270 terminal next to the tape reader. After the job is submitted, I was amazed at the velocity of the read.

The all time favorite raised floor data center story: I worked for a commercial software vendor back in the day where sufficient physical security for the data center was a lock on the building door, but no locks to the raised tile floor area.

One day I walked through the doors of the data center and everything was covered in a fine ash-like powder. Another employee brought their young child with him to the data center. This child pressed the red button labeled “Haylon Dump”.

I was told by the operators on watch that everyone was lucky to find their way out safely.

New locks were installed the next and badge swipes were required for entry.

Amazingly, all the hardware mostly survived.
> Along with paying the $100 million fine, Ernst & Young has to audit itself and report the findings to the SEC, including an assessment of its ethics and integrity training. It'll also be reviewed by independent consultants that the firm will have to pay for.

What? How can they be trusted to audit themselves when they've been failing to abide by their own ethical standards for more than a decade?

This reeks, rotten to the core.
No, that does not say what you think it does.
Nowhere does it say "complete" or "1:1", which is the point. Wayland is supposed to be different/better and that includes dropping some stuff and increasing security (e.g. screen recording or automation tools).
DeWalt won't be able to stop a competitor from selling yellow and black safety tape because the color is essential to the functioning of the product. The color of a cordless power tool, however, is not essential to its function; the color could be red, orange, chartreuse, blue, and the tool would work just as well.
Legitimate question: How can US measures stop climate change if many other countries are planning to construct and operate hundreds of coal plants for electric generation?
1. Dunning-Krueger or, in other words, Congress probably thinks they know better.

2. Politicians, per definition, are elected to represent the interests of their constituents. Many constituents disagree with experts (climate change, for example). QED, there is little motivation for politicians to listen or follow the advice of experts, especially if an expert's conclusion is not popular.
The fact there was no default widget kit is the big one for me.

This wouldn't have worked. Different DEs will never ever ever agree on a common toolkit. If Wayland had a single official toolkit that means that today one DE (probably GNOME) would be using Wayland and every other DE would still be on Xorg (which is unmaintained).

The movement from "window manager" to "compositor" is a huge scope creep.

It's not. It's actually simpler and more reliable to implement window management inside the display server than using a separate process.

I wonder if it would have made more sense to go with a paired approach-- a single master compositor implementation, with the complicated and more hardware-sensitive stuff involved, and a pluggable window manager that spoke to it.

Agreed. Wayland probably could have done a better job of putting 99% of the code in libweston so that different compositors would only have to reimplement 1%.

PDP-11 wasn't unique. To the contrary, it had many typical features.

- Uniform memory, cache memory is small, optional and transparent.

- A single linear address space; no pages, stack in the same RAM as data.

- A single CPU, with a single scalar ALU, and completely in-order execution; no need for memory barriers.

A typical modern machine larger than an MCU has several level of memory hierarchy which affect performance enormously, the physical RAM is mapped all over the address space, several execution units process data in parallel and often out of strict order, there are many variants of vector (SIMD) instructions, and usually a whole vector co-processor ("graphics card"). This breaks many of the assumptions that C initially ha made, and hardware tries hard to conceal the memory hierarchy (well, your OS may allow you to schedule your threads to the same NUMA domain), to conceal the parallel execution, to conceal the memory incoherence between processing nodes, etc. Well, you sort of can make the compiler infer that mean a vectorized operation, or use an intrinsic.

In my eyes, the C's assumptions about hardware show their age, and also hold the hardware back.
A surprising number of phones have that feature but it's often disabled in software (especially in North America). Sometimes you can force enable it.
Perhaps this is good to change things up and see what other solutions are possible to address climate change. EPA does not have the will of the people or Congress, which detracts from its powers and potential impact. EPA may not be geared to address climate change or large energy-economy problems - just look at the current situation - whatever they are doing is not working. They are good at pollution mitigation and rule making. Climate change solutions may not be helped by rules or EPA type measures. Instead they require environments amenable to systematic energy transition: low on regulation, low on entry barriers to innovation, low on rules and policies, financially punishing to old solutions. Climate action is techno-economic challenge the EPA might not be suited for.

To my understanding, current screen recording is relying mainly on xdg-desktop-portal and it's variations. It depends on flatpak and glib and uses D-bus.
None of these are proprietary to my knowledge.

With these, it supports WebRTC out of the box for browser, and for example OBS studio supports natively, and works really well.

Apps need to implement and use org.freedesktop.portal.* interfaces to support screen recording in Wayland.
Regarding #2, the congress legislatively and the constitutional amendment process is truly the only place that makes sense to establish federal abortion rights. Frankly the amendment process is literally the best place because it’s the only way to establish enumerated rights.

Will it be hard? Extremely. Is it likely to fail before it’s done? Absolutely. But when it’s finally done, at whatever compromise, those rights will be enumerated and well established and it will take millions of people to take them away…instead of six people.

In the meantime we have states democratically choose their path.
Why is a rapidly evolving, irrational culture perfectly fine? It sounds quite dangerous and self destructive to me. If you're going to live on eggshells being scared of what a fringe minority decides on a whim, then I don't know what to say.
True but OSX & Microsoft didn't have to deal with the massive amount of fragmentation that exists in Linux. Moving to a better standard is no issue but when everyone is building their own ship at their own cost & labour, it's not such a great idea.

Soon enough all the Linux forums will be filled with workarounds to get X or Y or Z app to work on Wayland or X or something else. The result? Nothing will work as expected for a long time (until everyone has forgotten X).
I’m sure this is a very cool thing. I would hate to drop it. What I mean to say is that I would inevitably drop it and at least a third of its screens will break as it bounces around. I’d rather save $290 and get a rubics cube.

In theory it's nice. In practice this doesn't get you anywhere nearly as often as you'd hope. Because IRL disagreements are almost often over the magnitude of a problem, not over their existence.

Trivial example for the sake of illustration:

Teammate 1: {writes some code}

Teammate 2: "That's hard to read, can you do it {this} way? It's much easier to understand the code that way if we find a bug."

Teammate 1: "That's too brittle though, can we do it {that} way? That way it's much less likely for the code to break in the first place."

Both sides can understand each others' positions perfectly fine. They just think their own concerns/priorities are a bigger deal than those of the other person.

Same goes with many political and other issues; this was just a silly example to illustrate.
> Well it's always seemed pretty cut and dry that the whole "abortion" controversy is largely a religious crusade and that anyone pretending to favor the constitution would call it mixing church and state.

I'm not sure why you would say that. The late Justice Ginsberg was a frequent critic of Roe as case law (despite being an ardent advocate of abortion) and thought the fundamental reasoning used in Roe was defective. [0] Roe was roundly criticized from jurists from both the left and the right on a number of fronts. It was bad law that ruled broadly on a highly divisive topic. Some folks strongly agreed with the outcome, so it became a third rail. Overturning precedents like Roe, while controversial, is healthy and gives us the opportunity to replace it with something on more firm legal footing.

It's fun working with people from different countries who have developed their own regional pronunciation. I recall French colleagues pronouncing a lot of stuff that commonly starts with ch- (chroot, chmod, chown etc) with a sh- sound. Other people (including me) pronounce both letters C and H. I like that a lot of common tools don't really have a canonical pronunciation because they have spread in use far beyond the English-speaking world. I wonder if in a distant future where languages have developed to the point of being unintelligible to today's humans they'll still be running software with mysterious incantations like ioctl and malloc and so on.
At least here billing is based on amount of energy extracted, so both volume and temperature difference are metered.
> For a non-sealed cup of hot liquid, the significant majority of cooling happens at the exposed surface with the air, through a mixture of convection and evaporation.

I don't know enough to argue with any confidence but this is very surprising to me. Ignoring for a moment the thermal conductivity of different mug materials, it seems like a large amount of energy would go toward heating the mug up to near liquid temperature rather quickly. Then you'd have at least as much heat loss between the mug and air (compared to exposed liquid and air).

The mug I imagine we're talking about is a ceramic mug, which I believe to have high thermal conductivity just based on what processor covers are made of. It also has plenty of mass.

If you're talking about an insulated mug obviously this changes. But just the fact that insulated mugs exist proves my point that a large amount of heat is lost through the mug...
"Pling" seems to be uniquely British, with usage sometimes documented as in the Commonwealth countries too.

Its actual origin seems to have been within Acorn Computers, and thus spread mostly to countries where Acorn computers were sold in any numbers, which notably does not include the USA.

On Acorn computers, application bundles are directories prefixed with a Pling, so the Paint application is called "!Paint", pronounced, "Pling Paint", for example.
