> That is not a concern in the world that I or many people live in; the desktop is not expected to provide this type of Web browser-level isolation to provide protection from adversarial programs running on our machines.

Increasingly, it is. Mobile OS's have operated under this assumption since the App Store. Windows and macOS are both strongly moving in this direction. Sandboxed apps are the future, and desktop Linux is behind.

> The traditional packaging and distribution practices and social norms turn out to provide a much better line of defense than whatever technical design is being imported from other contemporary OSes.

No, they don't. The thing you're trying to defend against is not just hostile apps, but someone remotely achieving RCE in one of your network-exposed applications. With X11, any compromised app has keys to the kingdom.
This is a hollow argument since none of their competitors that also are faring any better either. SpaceX is delivering close to their promise now years before they have to. It's an alarmist piece by teleco like the clock is close to timing out and things are heading south. Over time they will improve the hardware to have higher bandwidth capability, such as with their v2 satellites, with further improvements to the hardware likely later on.

> dont want to pay for billionaires entertainment

It's not "entertainment". It's actually delivering value to underserved customers, there's no need to inject politics or personal vendettas into this.
The biggest issue with Windows isn't poor code or shitty engineering, it's the support for legacy software. MS engineers are some of the smartest in the world. The devs can fix the code and make a much better OS but that would break boomer software used by big banks that haven't updated since the 80s. When Microsoft write code, it has to promise support for decades, that means having to maintain the same old outdated APIs for many years.
It means a vendor cannot get the FCC to take action against another vendor for this.

Any vendor can make a device using that band (there are many conditions, but in principle it is open to anyone). One vendors signal is another vendors noise. Each vendor needs to live with that fact. That could, for example, mean accepting that their device will sometimes simply not work.

Compare with licensed bands such as the ones used for LTE. These are (basically) allocated to individual parties for their exclusive use (ie, nobody else can interfere). If a device interferes with those bands, the FCC can take enforcement action (eventually).
They do this with eye drops, too. If you're not careful, you'll get homeopathic eye drops which are just water. And it's hard to see tiny print when your eyes are sore and they sell them in the pharmacy, next to real medicine.

I'm still not sure what "apis" is, but I hesitate to put anything related to bees in my eyes, given that this is a common allergen and I'm allergic to enough things already. One can only hope they dilute it out properly, or it might be worse than useless.
Why is a nuclear reactor in the sky "renewable", but a nuclear reactor in France isn't?
That only works if your opponent is playing along. I don't mean they have to be nice or civil, but they do have to be consistent. There's no point trying to e.g. establish shared definitions for a key term if your opponent is not bound by it. At best, steelmanning might help you realize you're talking to someone who is not acting in good faith slightly faster.
I'm going to leave some simple directions for creating and running Cell-o World. The website is verbose and it doesn't spell out blow-by-blow how to do this in "getting-started":

1. Download the Cell compiler from the website and ensure you have a recent enough version of Java installed:

2. I made a copy of one of the example project directories, /send-msgs/, called /hello-world/.

3. Change directory to /hello-world/.

4. Command to compile:
>java -jar ../../bin/cellc-java.jar project.txt ../hello-world/

5. Command to run:
>java Generated.java init-state.txt msg-list.txt output.txt

Now all you have to do is read the docs, get hands-on, experiment, and you can get a feel for how Cell works.
It's a standardized version of Keybase IDs (which can also support non key based identity if you choose)
Steelmanning is most useful in one kind of argument, the argument that goes on when you, I mean you, encounter an argument that you consider wrong and dangerous, and threatening to your core values.

There are a couple reactions you can have to that.
I assume there have been numerous internal end-state scenario discussions, and he remembers whichever one seems to favor whoever he is talking to.

They have no need to commit to a number until they get a lot more of them up.
Tesla doesn't have dealers. This sounds like a used car.
I may be suffering from a deficiency of reading comprehension. Can someone please explain to me in plain terms what a DID is and what it's for? It's a "globally unique persistent identifier that does not require a centralized registration authority"[1] - great, an identifier for what exactly? Is it just supposed to be an identifier for anything at all? Local and remote resources? People? Pokemon cards?

The business aspect is correct. The Big Ten shares revenue equally with all schools and is currently estimated at around $44 million per year per school - the most among all conferences. The Pac-12 is half that. Adding UCLA and USC to the Big Ten brings along the LA media market (Big Ten already has NY Chicago and DC) will likely increase the per school share a lot more than the Pac-12 could hope for when it renegotiates its deal in 2024.

UCLA and USC getting an extra $20+ million per year pays for a lot of airline flights.

It doesn't end with that, either. They'll be invited to join the [1] Big Ten Academic Alliance, where all the schools work together to share resources and reduce costs. This is serious money for the schools too.

pop music in general is somewhat popular specially in the bigger cities in India. never heard country music playing anywhere though, dont think its that popular as you claim.

local music (bollywood number, south indian film industry etc) is expectedly far more widespread and american music pales in comparison in terms of popularity
macOS has a reasonable security model and it doesn't allow that without explicit (annoying-to-grant) user consent. On Windows, apps that are concerned about RCE can drop privileges and still access the desktop in a secure way. On X11, there is no such option; you have to adopt a Chromium-like content/chrome process model, with the content process having no windowing access whatsoever. Because it's so difficult, almost nobody does this on X11.
> MacBook Pro in combination with Logitech MX Mouse (Mac version) and AirPod Pros cause significant interference

This might be a silly question, but I'm assuming the AirPods are connected to the same MBP? I'm finding this entire conversation fascinating because I routinely use a Logitech MX (anywhere 3) for Mac mouse and Airpods (Pro). However, the mouse is connected to a Mac Mini and my Airpods to my iphone. I take all of my Zoom calls from my iPhone and dual connect to Zoom if I need to share my screen.

I don't think I've ever had massive amounts of interference between the AirPods and my mouse. I'm wondering if this is a case where connecting to two different devices is somehow mitigating this issue.
Nvidia isn't even a big issue anymore (the proprietary and open drivers both run gnome, plasma, and sway Wayland sessions pretty darn well now) I think there overall was just too big a lag between the "rah rah" and delivery on 95% of the promises so there was a bit of pushback.

I went looking for a video demoing the first statement and came across https://youtu.be/sdSFzZCgWp0. I'd find a better video but sometimes the worse video is too funny to pass up :).

I know what you're saying. I'm not saying it's false (I was writing Xlib/Xt code professionally in the late 90's on a giant open network where we all had "xhost +" in our startup scripts, trust me I know what you can do). I'm saying the rest of the system sucks even worse. If you have an exploit on a modern linux system and want to install a keylogger, you don't do it with X. You just don't. It's not a realistic hole.

Especially since the first line of defense (don't let attackers run arbitrary binaries of any type) is actually quite strong on modern systems.
I had lasik in 1999. I was legally blind (uncorrected) in my left eye, and needed a pretty serious correction in my right eye. After lasik, my vision was 20/15 (left) and 20/10 (right).

Now, in 2022, I still have no need of glasses, although I'd say my vision has degraded somewhat - still good enough to pass the driver exam uncorrected, however.

Night vision is objectively worse after lasik. Poorer light sensitivity, and for the first year, I had halos and starbursts around night light sources, especially when my eyes were tired/dry. This improved over time, however.

I'd do it all over again if I had to. I couldn't wear contacts anymore, they hurt my eyes, and I got used to navigating like a blind person when I didn't have my glasses, so lasik is a miraculous improvement.
I'm good at this when I'm an observer but as a participant it just overloads my atrophied social cues co-processor.
Mutter is not the “official Wayland implementation”. Wayland has one reference implementation: Weston https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston
"Blue" about SOME social issues, extremely right-wing libertarian regarding other topics like economics, foreign policy and the environment. It is pretty much aligned with mainstream Democrats so at the end you are correct.
I just made this up. But, if you call it terrorist then it may distract from the fact this is an endemic, at-home problem to be grappled with rather than some “terrorist organization”.
That's fine for young childless people. For families with multiple children it's a huge hassle to have to have to shop like that. Growing kids eat a lot. And when you buy heavy items like watermelon or milk or whole frozen chickens it's just not easy to carry. Much easier to drive a big car to a big box store and stock up on everything needed for a week.
I read somewhere that house cats (feral, they're an invasive species there) in Australia have been seen carrying burning items from a wildfire to another area to spread the fire. This causes their prey to run from hiding.

The thermal throttling and high temps are interesting because I haven't seen it reported before. The comparisons he makes to the m1 pro - I thought the m2 was supposed to site between the m1 and m1 pro in terms of performance, so not meeting m1 pro performance is probably by design, no?
This is the popular libertarian opinion and it is half thought out and wrong, like most libertarian opinions.

Say you are not an insider. Most investors in the public markets are not insiders. If a company wanted to be owned by insiders only it would never need to enter the public market. So say you, like most investors are considering stock where you are not an insider. Would you buy stock from an insider? Even if he properly discloses he is an insider. Is he selling because he needs the money to buy a new house or because he knows that something happened and the company is doomed. It does not feel very comfortable does it. So most investors would not feel safe and comfortable buying most stocks. So, good job, you just removed 90% of demand of stocks.

What people do not understand is that the american public markets are very unique, unlikely, and downright amazing phenomenon that is a very important factor in the wealth of the USA and even the world for the second half of the 20th and 21st century. It is amazing that people have the confidence to pay a bunch of money to own a part of a company based only on published information. But that is what makes America rich. It is that ability to quickly move money from where it is not needed to where it is needed and to reward the person sending the not needed money.

Now here is another hypothetical. Say you are insider of a company with a lot of stock in that company. You have just learned that something secret has happened which has doomed your company. Your biggest client said they would stop buying from you or something like that. You want to sell your stock. If insider trading is legal would you inform the public of the bad news? Or would you make sure you sell all of your stock first. Now say the same thing is true but insider trading is banned. You are a big stockholder and you know the SEC is watching you. What do you do? Well you inform the public asap, so that you may sell your stock legally albeit at reduced prices. Which of these outcomes is better for society, and for the well being of the stock market?

I suppose insider trading is hard to enforce. Well actually it is not that hard to enforce for the important people -- the company leadership that have all the important insider information. But there are other crimes that are also hard to enforce but we keep them crimes, because they are terrible, cause a lot of damage and we as a society should do what we can to avoid them. Should we make bicycle theft legal because it is so hard to catch bike thieves? How about date rape?
> You really believe we hunted big game so much?

I mean there’s proof we hunted dinosaurs to extinction, so yah, we hunted down all the big game. Indians hunted bison, most everyone hunted elk and deer, humanity grew up on meat.

Edit: Eskimo hunting freakin’ whales, every Nat Geo special on tribal peoples show them hunting for daily meat, arrowheads and napping knives and spears found in ancient caves…

The thing you want is micromobility (ebikes and scooters). A car isn't a good way to get groceries, it's a money pit that makes you out of shape while also being entirely capable of killing you or someone else's children. It's designed for the highway and not good for anything slower than that.

...no, in this case you are absolutely shopping wrong. Pay attention to the labels.
Thank you for invalidating any point you tried to make.
My point, why worry about shipping when everything it’s transporting follows the same lax safety laws. First world society is largely supported on the backs of third world countries full of people working their arses off for little pay and no opportunity for betterment.

Slave children can mine the minerals in the electronics, slave labor can assemble them but by god, if a boat docks port with any crew that are unfairly treated!
The problems don't change the fact that it's better & smarter & obvious, and honestly the problems here are... frequently misstated ("Wayland provides no capture APIs"... uhhhh what? this ticket is closed & resolved >2 years ago & webrtc for example works fine.). Leaving X to have a massive rats nest of drivers, and giving every app supreme access to the session, was a terrible situation, and Wayland is a reasonable, far lower surface-area alternative that's far more sensible & leaves far more responsibilities in the kernel's trusting hands.

This post projects an idea that there is a new resurgence of push-back & dislike, a failure to come into fruition, but personally I feel there's been a long continual & ongoing history of refusenik/can't-do attitude, like nearly all new technologies & especially sizable open source developments face. And success is widespread.

What I see as somewhat new is that the pace in Wayland protocol development has indeed really tapered off, with a large part of that slowness being chalk-up-able to (alas) internal obstructionism. A lot of innovations have been really hotly contested. Rather than independent innovation (which Wayland protocols make imminently possible), there's way more bickering in the various protocol proposals & less getting shit off the ground. There's absolutely a place for getting it right, but the clashes have gotten louder & bigger & it's sapping the energy in the room. Virtual input devices for example have been a shit show and a half, all kinds of hard work & valid proposals getting snubbed & shot down left & right, rudely. Some stuff has just been slow: global hotkeys for example.

Even still, I think far more of the problems in this gist relate more to apps that just aren't well maintained (alike your NV gpu that has been a bad actor on the scene), aren't well cared for. Others of these grievances are kind of small & non issues, or just paranoia (eg: conspiracy-theory freak-outs about client side decorations), some are indeed deeply technical sticking points Wayland hasn't specified it's way through yet (hotkeys again), some just seem... wrong (most Intel users don't experience terrible godforsaken tearing all the time?) but a lot of them are just slow apps not doing basic good. Yeah. It takes a long time to improve a vast vast vast vast ecosystem.

That said, it's really been about a year that Wayland has been shipping truly genuinely en-masse, so the visibility & noticeability of issues is much much much higher than it had been.
I rode in one recently. It was pretty smooth. An interesting thing: the car slowed to a stop in the middle of the street, and I couldn't immediately tell why.

There was a row of parked cars on the roadside, and a person was walking around one of them to open her trunk. I guess the car was able to spot her in the dark and opted to pause. So we were stopped there. The woman threw her hands up as if to say, "whatcha lookin' at?" I had the window down, and I offered the explanation "self-driving car." She said "Ugh, I hate those things." Then the car continued on.
Microsoft is not the author of the software that copilot helps produce. the person sitting at the keyboard using copilot is the author.
Steelmanning is a really interesting concept that has popped up in the last few years. It used to just be that "arguing in good faith" was what "steelmanning" is today, and strawmanning your opponent was rude. It says a lot about how we think that it is now considered special to try to figure out what your opponent in a debate actually believes so you can attack it on its merits.
That's fine, but beside the point. Let me repeat more clearly.

Tauri, a framework (not mine), got robbed of its 1.0 announcement because there had been another thread about it in the past year.

Rust, a language, has dozens of threads, roughly one per month, about minor version releases stand without being deleted.

Does this make the contrast more clear?
I always got motion sick on those things.
Your city is unusual. In most cities the taxis were shit, and the city governments didn't care.
"terrorist" usually means an act done in furtherance of a social goal; people killed for a cause.

Hard to articulate a cause for many of the school shootings. Of course, sometime the perpetrators do articulate causes but no one pays much attention to that unless it happens to serve the agenda they're currently promoting.
I suspect most investors (most anyone in a professional setting, really) didn't really want you to just "drop by". They wanted you to call in and make an appointment to drop by. Which you can still do remotely now, just that dropping by is a (scheduled) video call instead.
I think the argument is now it takes considerably less brain power to do, thereby increasing the labor pool and devaluing the output.
In those situations the adage that arguing against bad faith arguments is self defeating. To outside observers it just makes the bad faith arguments look credible.
>I think it's safe to say [Wayland] failed

In that case I think it is safe to say that all the apps I have been using for over a year have been talking to my window server using a failed protocol.

But I really like the experience.
Oh believe me, I do especially after that, but that does not justify misleading labeling practices. It’s absolutely intended to be deceptive and ride on the good PR of other products.
Oh, nothing, but that’s kind of a different (and larger) issue.
Those largely died out because they were run by private operators, but the government then decided to make them cheaper by imposing price controls, and then didn't "nationalize" them when they ran out of business and died.

(The common story is they were bought up and shut down by car companies, but that's a myth afaik.)
You may have heard the aphorism, "All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection." This, or some variation of it, is known as the fundamental theorem of software engineering, variously attributed to Andrew Koenig, Butler Lampson, and David J. Wheeler.

With oauth2, literally any sort of authorization (or, in theory, authentication) is possible, but first you have to ask some endpoint for the details. In the case of oauth2, the core concept for authorization is "scope", but nothing is prescribed in scopes. They can literally be anything the auth provider describes. In theory, it's not supposed to matter – a consumer is just supposed to be able to pass around scopes from providers and let them determine if access is allowed. In practice, there's no practical way to reason about scope+resource permssions.

Oh, and despite the name, oauth2 is not about authentication, it's only about authorization. The OIDC spec, built on oauth2, provides authentication services, but again, there's no spec. Every auth provider does what it wants.

It's sometimes said that oauth2 is great for consultants, because any organization wanting to deal with it must hire (or contract with) specialist who can sort out the ill-defined problem space.
Everyone wanted autonomous cars, forgetting that the cost was their own autonomy.
With the genres I'm familiar with there's clearly a lot of cross pollination between ethnic groups in the US and it's very hard to tell who "started it".
