> From a customer's perspective, it isn't clear that a software taxi driver is in any way better than a human taxi driver

The taxi driver having 0% chance of raping or stealing you would be prominent a clear win.

Or really any of many many other issues you could have with an actual human person with a specific world view and social position interacting with you. Not even considering if you yourself have specific shortcommings (fear of social interactions etc.)

It wouldn't be fair to pit a perfect human against the self driving car, there are many other stuff to be consided outside of the sheer driving competence.
Not all types of argument deserve this treatment.
Disabling Xwayland, if you can, makes wayland a much better experience. Not possible for everyone, as you may have software that doesn't work on Wayland, but I ran my daily driver Arch laptop with sway and no X at all for years, everything worked really well.
I'm surprised it's not a popular opinion. It seems to fit well with libertarian/laissez-faire ideology.

If it was legal, retail might better understand that they're less knowledgable about a stock than the insiders. Instead we have the compromise where retail believes insider trading doesn't happen but it's actually rampant and retail are the least likely to benefit from it.
It's pets.com for phones, lol. Not sustainable.
I think you are at least half right, but not entirely right. "cause confusion" is at least in part going to intentionality, where I agree the intent is to try and go beyond "its white" to "it has similar mouth feel, it whips, it makes a good coffee"

But Veal and Beef is actually similar. Rose Veal is most definitely not Veal. It was named Rose Veal to try and market what they do with slaughterhouses and with discard young from the dairy industry, to break from the old practices (male milk calves have low value. farming it for veal was how farmers made money from discards)

Rose veal is not veal, why did they keep the veal word?
Yes, yes! This is common sense. Do not try and ride the coattails of existing products to sell a product that is the opposite of the products it's pretending to be.

Be honest. It's an plant-based protein burrito it's not a damned "chik'n burrito" or "sliced cheeze". And don't get me started with the "milks". It's a freaking emulsion oat-grain emulsion, or oat beverage. What's nexy Coca-cola with a white fizzy drink, "cola-milk"?

Thank you France!

Ask HN: How do you manage remote work breaks?
For those who study or work remotely, once you run out of attention, how do you manage the transition to getting back to work?
From the lower Volga to Karakorum is actually about 5600 km, not 5600 miles.
(edit) Still pretty impressive, though, especially in winter
Wait, so they fixed the stupid X security holes where any application can steal any other application's keystrokes, read any other application's window content, and interfere with global system behavior by for example grabbing ALL keystrokes... but then they went to client-side window decorations so any application can just impersonate any other?

WTF?
Up for a call? Would love to get your Api feedback, email me at simba@featureform.com , I’ll buy you lunch :)
I'm currently in the "X11 is still better group" but I will say the way QT does modals on X drives me up the wall and it would be nice to have something force it to behave.
That is true, although I've seen the support being cumbersome at best, specially with Nvidia drivers (although can't put the blame on anyone else other than Nvidia here obviously) even the default Gnome night light doesn't work as it should always.
I'll be moving back to X11 soon—and for only one feature: color management. Wayland has no way to handle ICC profiles. There is a working group making slow, but good progress, but is also trying to rethink how color management works in the age of HDR displays. This is a good goal, but if I want to do any color sensitive work now, there's nothing I can do. I also wish there was a clear way to donate to fund this particular effort because the rest of Wayland has been good.
Its so ironic because vegetarians I know gag when they walk by the meat and fish section and smell everything raw. Making them go there to get their protein seems a little cruel
[Parent didn’t say it but headline does] Taxis though?
Eh, I remember being confused about American breakfast sausage being served with no regard to the casing. These terms aren’t perfectly portable across languages.
Sorry, but I don't find the article convincing. The thing about diatribes is that they are a distorted view of reality. My take on Wayland, after using it for several months, is that it is fine for my circumstances. Would I recommend it to other people? No. It doesn't offer a noticeable benefit while the prevalence of software for X suggests that X is the safest bet. On the other hand, Wayland does not deserve the vitriol that is directed towards it.
It seems odd they are bunched together in one spot. Maybe these were the canaries?
No, it's not. It's acknowledging that this is a new protocol, and is intentionally not designed to be a drop-in replacement for X because it makes different trade-offs.

Do you really think that Linux users are asking "why do you want that?" about screen sharing applications? Of course not. You can't implement screen sharing the same way you did in X, and software will need to change if it wants to support Wayland.

I wonder how cheap flavored soy will be in a world where there isnt a meat industry producing cheap bonemeal and bloodmeal fertilizer
I don't see why either. I like some cereal in my sausage, I think it adds to the texture, and moistness, and I like the mouth feel of a blend of ingredients, but the relative % of meat and non-meat, for legal compliance with "sausagehood" is at root the problem. More filler-and-binder than meat? thats wierd. But.. legal.

Does it relate to rationing? I am sure it does. Remember the UK kept rationing to the 1950s and was not faring well postwar because the US cut off the taps, when the war ended. Rationing improved food quality for people on average, but there was a net decline in high quality inputs for a decade.

I am told by Uruguayan friends that what we eat in Fray Bentos pies, would not be acceptable sold over the counter in Montevideo. But that said, they are immensely proud of the link to the british diet!
It sounds like you are supporting the author's claim that Wayland will never be a 1:1 replacement for xorg.
If you're careless you won't know what you're using.
I didn't know why people are getting bad speeds, because I'm regularly exceeding these speeds on my dish. Starlink requires self-installation and I'm willing to bet that a lot of people don't understand how to set it up properly. I will say it took me over 2 weeks to really get a good location, top some trees and set up a proper mount above the house. People post pictures of their dishes just sitting on the ground, and a lot of people don't have patience or time to get the connection working well.
It's ludicrous but it's a reality we have to live with. These corporations have mountains of resources they'll use to defend what they see as their property. Until we can trump those mountains of resources with something else, the corporations will always win.
Wayland is pretty much a requirement for any new, high end laptop or desktop setup. X's inconsistent support of hi-dpi displays, mix/match dpi displays, janky hotplug, and hdr makes it almost a non starter for any laptop sold >=2021 that cost more than $1500

Well, they could hardly wear it up someone else's.
Why Google is allowed to run a robotaxi service in megacity is beyond me. Google invades its users privacy and keeps users hostages for money. What can one expect from a company like Google when it runs a service in physical world? Something very harmful to humanity.
All of that is outweighed by the fact that Wayland does not "just work" in the same way Xorg does. I absolutely despise x11, it's far too long in the tooth and needs to be replaced by literally anything. MacOS has been using Quartz for the better part of a decade, and on Linux, your choice of window servers is either Tweedle-Dee or Tweedle-Dum. If Wayland's developers hadn't used wlroots as a purgatory for salient concerns about their project, then we might have a good starting spot. If they created a Xorg-agnostic interface for running a Mutter shell on legacy desktops, that would be even better. But we got nothing. They cut real features like AppIndicators straight out of the project for no good reason. They left every other desktop environment out in the cold.

People understand that Wayland isn't a drop-in replacement for Xorg, and that's becoming a problem. People want to run desktops that aren't GNOME or Sway, people want to use hardware that isn't AMD-based, and people want to use the software they've always had just like they did before. Wayland doesn't do that, and after 10 years of antagonizing Linux software development, I think it's safe to say it failed.
I’m personally little concern about some horrible mistake resulting in a GTA negative friction carmageddon… either through a bug or hacking

I'm curious about this "do what I say" vs "do what I mean" partisan split. I can see how this particular case clearly applies, but you have any other examples?
>>>>>Imagine, say, a pandemic like lockdown, but now only authorised vehicles may travel at certain times, or at all,

No need to imagine. This was de facto policy for quarantine in most south american countries.

- the weekday corresponded to the last digit of your plate, then if,
- only before x time, like 10pm,

hey where's the data from? Its from Steam or the whole game industry included mobile? I would eager to read more details, thanks.
> * put them next to the real things

Firstly, plant-based products are real things.

Secondly, I think a supermarket here in Denmark explained it best: They put the same type of meat-based and plant-based together because that's where customers expect them to be, it's simply easier for the products to be found.
What sucks is I think the clones are terrible introductions to vegetarian food compared to the real deals. Screw a fake chicken nugget and ketchup, give people a falafel ball and yogurt sauce. The best vegetarian food there is makes no attempt to be fake meat, it stands on its own.

> any application using X11 has complete control of your entire desktop, including other applications[...] There is no way to sandbox an application

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 protect against adversarial programs running on our machines.

It may in theory be worse than e.g. Windows in this regard, but in practice you can operate a computer in the freedesktop.org tradition with much more confidence compared to running Windows. 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.
>"We've been arguing about what beer is since the German beer laws and before."

The Reinheitsgebot had nothing to do with a debate over what beer is and what it isn't.[1] The purpose of the regulation was to stop driving up the price of wheat up so more bread could be made and also to protects people from unscrupulous brewers using toxic additives in their brews. Everyone still agreed that thing was beer even if they had different preferences for the type of beer they preferred.

This looks fun. And at $300 preorder, very expensive!
I was going to suggest this is an over generalization but interestingly when searching for example images you seem to be right — every image I looked at had things like “vegan” or “soy” in much smaller letters than things like SAUSAGE or CREAM CHEESE.

I eat a mostly plant based diet and primarily recognize the options by brand so I never really noticed this. E.g., I know that Soy Station brand “cheese” is never real cheese despite anything else the label may say. Ditto something like Field Roast’s various “meats”.
I guess the difference in this case is that the JS on web archive relies on future browsers being backwards compatible, whereas irchiver relies on much less to stay timeless which is good. Although I don't think JavaScript will ever get a major update (as in breaking comparability) I believe relying on that is not a perfect way to archive web content. This kind of backwards compatibility breakage is something we have seen before with the deprecation of Adobe Flash and it could theoretically happen elsewhere on the web stack.
What?

If I’m bidding $100 and I have to pay $100 but the person i’m bidding against can bid up to $10000 before they have to pay $100… this will only result in a transfer of trademark when the owning company is defunct.

Seems like it helps nobody.
> Your points are valid, don't get me wrong, but there is also a lot of research causally linking microbiome deficiencies with various health problems.

I’m sure there is. But it isn’t in this article. So reading this to learn about it is a waste of time.

> Also worth noting your shots seem more aimed at the journalist's style than the researcher's work.

That’s a correct assessment, yes.

> I for one, think this is super valuable and promising research

A good source for that conclusion may exist, but this isn’t it.
A German perspective here: In high interest times all banks can offer free bank accounts, in low interest times people flee from brick and mortar banks when they start to ask fees. Even if your bank does not have a physical branch, you can still nowadays easily get your money: you can withdraw cash at the checkout of the supermarket when you are shopping for groceries, and a lot of banks offer free withdrawals at other banks.

Brick and mortar-banks have their advantage too. Most in Germany are either a credit union or owned by the public. You have someone responsible for you you can speak with in person and they can often offer you better terms on loans.
I'd be curious on the statistics related to new under-developed FSD software vs a new teenage driver.

An obvious issue is that one can be bullied by a wealthy competitor by forcing to re-brand and restart all marketing from scratch every year as your old trademark will get snatched from you just because you're not wealthy enough.

Similarly, a troll may even try to extort you into paying them to not bid on your trademark (= possibly lose your business).

The robo taxi can't steal FROM you very easily, but it can certainly steal YOU.
There's a big difference between reverse engineering (i.e. intentionally writing software that behaves identically to another piece of software), and writing your own code to solve your own problem that may superficially contain small portions of the similar logic as some other project. Copyrighted code has to be sufficiently creative and unique to qualify, otherwise after the first person wrote code to parse json from a web request, no one else would be able to do the same thing.
They still do this. It really sucks when you don't expect it. I wish the people who wanted all this crap would just go run ChromeOS since it does what they want better anyway.
Same, I got a setup before I went out west this year and I can now camp off grid at places I couldn't the previous years. It's great.
Bus drivers are paid to drive, and have a union. Buses are large, expensive, and few.

Honest question: I grew up on a farm in former USSR. We milked cows daily, when I was a kid. Back then, I never knew about lactose intolerance but to be fair, this wasn’t a topic discussed.

Considering I know nothing about this, and you seem like you do, are there any studies that looked at links between lactose intolerance and fresh milk produce?

Reason I say “fresh” is because we never refrigerated the milk. In the morning you get milk, cream is taken off top, by next morning you have a kefir like drink. All was consumed. There was no processing.

I know there is a study[0] that link exposure to farm animals being linked to less allergic reactions but never seen anything about milk.

Assume "fine localization" is a synonym for LIDAR throughout the AV industry. There are other sensors that are inputs to the localization algorithms, but LIDAR is typically the most important one.
I imagine this was probably user error on your part. The vegan cheese is usually on the other end of the grocery store from the real cheese, and also usually says 'vegan' prominently, and also there are only like 2-3 brands that make vegan cheese (Miyoko, Daiya, maybe 1 other?). And vegans still usually have to read the ingredients to make sure. Non-vegans could probably do the same if it were that important.
Would you describe vegetarian food as “food from dead plants” or the harvested product, like soy/tofu? Meat is the name of the product.
It's a weird strawman to say that Wayland's problem is that it's not a 1:1 replacement for Xorg. I don't think the author understands what Wayland is or what it intends to do, and it's sad that they didn't let that stop them from writing such a piece with incendiary language like this.

Wayland isn't a complete replacement of Xorg and has never been intended to be one. Nobody with close knowledge of the project has ever pretended it has - that premise just appears in severe oversimplifications and strawmen. Wayland is just a part of a rethink of how Linux desktop architecture works, together with Freedesktop standards for things like screen casting or window control [1]. The state of complete implementations of those Freedesktop standards - as well as application support - to the point it can replace a lot of X11 is pretty lacking for sure [2]. But that's just unfortunately just what you get when trying to establish such a new architecture in an underfunded and undirected community like the Linux desktop community. No need to "boycott" anything - just use whatever you like on Linux, like you always have.

[1]: E.g. contrary to what many people seem to understand, lacking screencasting support is not actually due to faults in """Wayland""", rather apps and desktops not properly supporting a wholly different Freedesktop standard made to work on Wayland compositors and X11 desktops alike (not dependent on any display protocol at all!). Screencasting on macOS, Windows and Wayland is not the display server's job, it's just one of the many things added to the kitchen sink that has become Xorg.

[2]: In fairness, it covers enough that it's working for a lot of people's workflows. It should work for way more people though, and I hope we get there.

After neovim, what's the case for using vim?
Like rolling coal, I'm not convinced that "thinking" is the right lens to view this through.
And yet, 12 years later, Wayland still has significant problems, and has not displaced X11. There's a reason for that: it's just not good enough.

I find it hard to believe that the security issues with X11 could not be fixed. It might have to be done in a way that causes some incompatibilities and pain, but I can't imagine that would be anywhere near as bad as all the time people have spent working on and dealing with Wayland.

I mean, c'mon, here's a simple X11 "any app can read out the contents of any other window" solution: add access controls to Xorg so that they can't. You open a connection to the X server, and you can read any window created by that connection, and that's it. Input events? You only get the input events destined for windows created on your connection. Want to write a screenshot or screen recording app, or an app that allows sharing your screen? Cool, we can create an interface for that, one that requires user confirmation. Privilege separation is hardly an unsolved problem.

I'm not saying all of this is easy, but it strains credibility to suggest that this could not have been accomplished in the past 12+ years since work started on Wayland.
True, but some of your best insights come from steelmanning arguments you initially thought were completely bogus.
I recently switched back to xorg because of crashing in blender and kdenlive that went away in xorg. (Which I only figured out because I temporarily switched to try to screen record the crashing and found that it went away.)

... but I was shocked at how much faster and responsive Xorg was, -- and because of it have no interest in switching back to wayland even if the crashing issues are resolved.
I have twice been tricked and bought "chikn" or similar. One time the product I bought I was incredibly disgusting, the other time it was alright and edible.
I'm sure that's what people said when they went from punch cards to assembly, and from assembly to C, and from C to Java.... and yet, here we are. Tools that let us write higher level code faster, just allow us to create more complicated software in a reasonable amount of time.
What I try to do -

- Start with the easiest thing. Like opening your laptop.(That triggers the thought process).

- Start writing down your thoughts. (Helps if you don't know where to start).

> The official neovim repo still has twice as much vimscript code as it has lua code

Much of that is "just" the runtime files (things that define language syntax, etc), which are x-compatible (broadly) between nvim and vim. Seems it would be foolhardy to just re-write all that in lua, "just because".

To be fair for it to be a 1:1 replacement for xorg that does not mean it also needs to be drop-in (as in all software that works on xorg will work on Wayland right away).
We could have the same fear with all these satellites being shot up into space. Couldn't they all start raining down on earth with some poor calculations or coding mistakes in the course-correction software?
