All of this is outweighed by the fact that any application using X11 has complete control of your entire desktop, including other applications. This fact makes Linux desktops using X11 significantly inferior in security to all other operating systems. There is no way to sandbox an application that is allowed to send window events to all other applications, since it can just tell your desktop environment to open a shell and then send commands at will.

The only reasonable solution (nested X servers and XSECURITY are not reasonable solutions) is to switch to Wayland.
Singular they goes back far enough in English that you can find it spelled with thorn, but of course people here know better.
Yes, it's not interchangeable because the 1.0 of an anticipated project is a big deal. Meanwhile on Rust 1.62...

I used Wayland for almost everything (AMD GPU), but the performance for some applications such as Blender are absolutely abysmal currently.

I have to switch to X when using those apps.
Could it be using a different protocol or CRC system that's more resistant to that type of issue perhaps? There must be some difference, otherwise it would just be more GPS, right?
That's not the definition of militia at the time the Constitution was written.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militia_(United_States)

> During colonial America, all able-bodied men of a certain age range were members of the militia, depending on each colony's rule. Individual towns formed local independent militias for their own defense.

Even today, there are organized, state-run militia (the National Guard) and unorganized, independent militia.
Obviously no. They can claim they do, they can sue other people over it, they might even win. But it's just ludicrous. No one can own a color.
Living in a country where ground wires are not installed as standard, oh you are so wrong. Anything that has a wall plug carries crazy levels of background hum to any audio equipment I plug into it. I'm sure there is something I could buy to fix that (I can't fix the electrics though as I'm renting).

On the other hand, instead of doing loads of research and buying new equipment, I can just connect my headphones or speakers by Bluetooth and the noise is gone.

Now I have to deal with the annoyances of Bluetooth which are not zero either. But it's a great tradeoff for me.
Severe thermal throttling discovered in Apple's M2 MacBook Pro

This is my favorite question about Copilot ever.

While GitHub might have a license to use that code to train the model, it’s debatable what license applies to the output of the model, and what users of the model can do with it.

It’s possible for an AI to reproduce something so close to the original that it would be considered an infringement on the original work.
For fine localization, are they using dead reckoning with steering angle and vehicle speed instead of GNSS?
Resnote.com – Streamline your web research with source
Hi YC family,

Have you ever forgotten where you got a particular information from when you needed it the most? Being researchers, we face this issue on a regular basis as a typical research life involves years of effort reading and writing research papers.

That’s why we, a team of scholars from IISER Mohali & IISc Bangalore, have built ResNote (resnote.com) . Using our chrome extension, you can take notes anywhere from the web with a simple drag and drop or a right click; and all your relevant information will be saved along with their source automatically. Along with this, we have 2 more AI products in the suite to summarize YouTube videos and to convert your handwritten notes into typed notes just by uploading a photo. This can ultimately help you organize your references and thereby will save you a lot of time in reading and writing research papers (50x faster). Also, you no longer need to download tons of pdfs that just lie unopened on your laptop.

It has been a privilege being associated with YC community and as a form of gratitude, we are sending you exclusive 3 months pro-usage coupons (worth $10/month each) for all the professors, students, academicians, lawyers who are dealing with all sorts of research.

I still don't understand why that's an issue. VSCode is a proprietary product. There are tons of FOSS alternatives if it doesn't work for someone or the telemetry is a problem.

My criticism would only be that the telemetry is not obvious enough for a casual downloader. I don't use VSCode but I'm sure a lot of people do without knowing about it.

Something that always follow a predetermine route should have an easier time than a cab that must be able to drive basically anywhere.
Still has to deal with unexpected things of course, the real world is chaotic, but AI manufacturers should try to limit the variables as much as they if they want to give a good showing to get more adoption.

Given the list of things that could go horribly wrong with self driving vehicles, incidents like these are only a minor, harmless inconvenience.

The more immediate concern is self driving vehicles that are clearly not ready to be on public roads being allowed to test (or not being pulled off the roads).
Especially when you consider that the profit margins on real meat and cheese are pretty tight, while the profit margins on flavoured soy are huge.
The economic downturn has been hard on everyone, but it’s been especially tough on those who have lost their jobs. As the pace of layoffs increase, news regarding company layoffs is almost an every day thing now. And while the media may report on the numbers and the statistics, they often miss how deeply real people are being affected.

This isn’t just about numbers and statistics. It’s about people losing their jobs, and being thrown into uncertainty. It’s about families struggling to make ends meet. It’s about people who are worried about their future and their ability to provide for their loved ones.

If you or someone you know has been affected by a layoff, know that you are not alone.

Rezi has decided to equip any layoff affected job seeker with a fully-upgraded Lifetime account (normally $129)

If you have been laid off, please visit this link: https://www.rezi.ai/rezi-layoff-support

Please share with anybody and everybody who has lost a job.
Somewhat tangential:

I swear I can see the difference in anti-aliasing between X and Wayland. Under the latter it just...looks so much better, smoother, CLEANER. Is that all in my head, or has anyone else noticed that too?
Well, I think the open part is covered. It's an open block chain and it's not surprising to have analysis tools to work with the blockchain. These types of tools are used by exchanges, federal agencies, even divorce lawyers.

The geolocation part is still not clear to me. They claim to not have sold customer data, so that means said data is on the blockchain itself, or can be derived from it. If that reading is correct, even the word "selling" is incorrect.

Further, an open financial system does not mean a total lack of regulation or tracking of bad actors. I would also assume that "economic freedom" is less applicable to criminals, assuming the tool is used for that.
You're conflating metaphors with obfuscation.

For example, coconut milk is named so simply because it's a white liquid. It's not trying to be a replacement for milk, or trying to confuse people, it's just a metaphor.

But vegan milk, sausages, etc, are all meant to be as similar to the real things as possible so as to cause confusion.
> British Sausages cause hilarity in Europe.

Honestly I don't really see why. Yeah the really cheap ones have a lower meat content than other countries tend to use, but german bratwurst are often around 85%(ish) meat, and it's very easy to find British sausages which have that much or higher meat content.

I think like many British food stereotypes, it's likely several decades past being factual, and probably has its roots in the post-war and post-rationing eras.
Even just a segment where participants say 'what I think my opponent's main argument is and what are the argument's greatest strengths' would be fascinating. It would show how well the participants understand each other and that they actually engaged with the substance of each other's arguments rather than just angling for sound bites/pithy quotes.

A full steelman debate format would be very interesting.
I am from the country where most people don't even have to agree to anything - their income taxes already handled by employer on behalf of the government before each paycheck. But there is very low trust in government and it is dictatorship...

I do not know if that was intentionally forced on citizens in the USA to do their own taxes (even tho IRS had accurate information from W3s for nearly half of payers) for that purpose, but I think such exposure to the behind scenes calculation of taxes might force citizens to be more aware of what they are paying.

For example, back to my home country - I think income tax is something like 11% or 13% today. And most folks see this tax on their pay stubs. But what they do not see (although some are aware of) - employer pays extra 36% of the salary into social security. In the USA employee sees at least half of it (6.20% of 12.40%). The health insurance premiums are also prominent on the tax return, same with retirement. None of that is visible in any form to employees in my home country.
It does sound like the value of code creators is going to soon see significant downward pressure.
I should warn you that it's quite possible for GPU memory to leak into/out of VMs, the safety model is different. So the parent's horror story could absolutely happen to you.
The system as a whole used C, C++, Python, and some Java/JS-family stuff in the infrastructure backends. You can find a long tail of other languages scattered throughout the organization, like Go, Rust, Lisps, and Swift, etc. I wrote a fare-cost-calculator in Mathematica awhile ago, as an example.

As for storage systems, no idea. The stuff I know was all custom, but I was deep in the stack most of the time and don't do much with databases.
Who funds Wayland? I bet it's someone who stands to gain from pouring sand into the Linux desktop engine.
Surprised to see this so many times on hackernews.
Copy/paste comment from another article.

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.
I haven't read the comments, but it's quite sad to imagine posting about a creative milestone on a personal blog, and having people go out of their way to come to it and express their displeasure.

From a YouTube video on this topic: "Ultimately, the reason some people get upset when a series changes isn't because the new game is new, but because the old games get their future cut off. Getting a sequel you don't want closes the door more definitively than creating a new IP. Nobody wants to see the corpse of something they love puppeted around when it could just be laid to rest."

I think this often gets interpreted as "entitlement" on the part of gamers but is really just misdirected grief. I understand where it's coming from, but it seems like perhaps people should process this grief more personally and not lash out.
Whats scary is that we have more and more civilization diseases and we have no idea whats causing them beside guesses.

Worsening of the environment we live in impacts us in ways we cannot even imagine.

Scary is that we cannot go back, coz its financially impossible for most.
Nobody's trying to confuse anyone though, they're trying to provide alternatives.

"Sausage" is such a generic term, covering so very many things, that it's bizarre to try and restrict it.

(edit: almost forgot we are talking about France, a country which tries to control its language by law. Carry on then!)
Display independent DPI scaling. For instance, if you have multiple monitors of different sizes/resolutions, you can scale them independently to have text and windows appear the same size on all of them.
Fuck this SCOTUS.
So then we should be able to use the term "real vegan cheese", but not an unqualified "vegan cheese".
Product Hunt could get you some traction. If it’s a useful enough idea, you might get to 100, especially if you post right at midnight.
This will not be a popular opinion, but just to give my random 2 cents.

I theorize that the best way to solve the fairness issue of insider trading is to make it legal, but incredibly transparent. There is no way to catch the overwhelming majority of the actual insider trading that happens short of a dystopian SEC that continuously monitors everybody's phone calls, movements, emails, and all of their finances or just banning employees of publicly traded corporations from investing in their hard work, which also seems unfair.

The best way to benefit the public is for price speculation by insiders to be telegraphed either in real-time, or preferably with advance notice, to any member of the public.

If Joe Sixpack working at Apple wants to buy or sell stock or options the day before earnings (or any other day) based on some knowledge he has, I'd say it should be legal. He should just have to report that intent to some SEC website. Any member of the public should be able to go to some well-designed SEC website the day before and see that Joe along with 465 other employees plan to buy XXXX calls. If insiders want to trade in publicly traded companies, people should be able to have data on that to notice patterns and benefit from this information. If they decide they want to sell some stock, that should be reported at least in real time, or preferably with at least 1 day notice. If the goal is to benefit the greater public, the information should be designed to flow to the public.

This pre-knowledge of their trades is the rule I especially want to impose on the corrupt legislators, some of whom are known as suspiciously good traders for senile old people. The rules that they can wait 30 days before disclosing their deals are BS. They should be reported at least in real-time, or preferably at least a day before. This seems like a small price to pay for making the rules that pick the winners and losers in the marketplace, as well as the overall direction of the economy.
I don't want Wayland to be exactly compatible with Xorg. Progress requires abandoning cruft and committing to a hopefully better design. I moved to Wayland 100% earlier this year and not looking back.
Falafel, to me, is a very specific thing, and a chickpea burger may or may not resemble that thing.
This is interesting. I've been trying to model UI flows in a "CPU-like" manner, as incremental state transformations that are committed at most once per frame. That's the basis of some UI frameworks like Jetpack Compose, which bundle the incremental state in a global snapshot, sidestepping most of the pitfalls of mutable state by controlling when mutations are applied. What's neat about this paradigm is that you can write fairly naive code that reads and mutates state with abandon, and the snapshot mechanism lets the code just work without modeling the whole app as a state machine.

Steelmanning should be used by yourself from the start:

1. What is your central point?

2. What are your arguments? Rank them from best to worst.

3. What are your main claims? What explanations, supporting evidence and examples do you cite?

4. What are your emotional drivers, attitudes and beliefs, and motivations behind your viewpoint/worldview?

5. What are the vulnerabilities and weaknesses in any of the above? How can you fix them?
Well, that’s 5% higher than congress…so second place ain’t too bad, and considering how Biden’s polling keeps dropping, I’d say they might have a shot at the gold come mid October

Sounds like you're fighting confirmation bias with confirmation bias.

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.

Also worth noting your shots seem more aimed at the journalist's style than the researcher's work. I for one, think this is super valuable and promising research
There are some interesting points in this podcast and related resources/sources (not a fan of all of this site’s content, though Gregor is good at compiling research):

https://nutritionfacts.org/audio/the-sodium-debate/

My take away from this and other sources is that we don’t have proper long-term, randomized, human trials to determine exactly what to say about this. At the same time, there are cases where a reduction is clearly helpful but no typical cases where an increase is beneficial.

I’m certainly not out to debate or disprove you here — I’d really like to eat more salt, but the evidence I come across doesn’t justify it. I’d rather be wrong, though.
It gets a lot more expensive if you’re actually contending the mutex between threads; and if you’re not, why use a mutex? I agree the uncontended case is fast — it’s just not very useful.
You assumed square. Round gives 4 pixels:

π(.02/2)^2 * 14000 = 4.4
I'm curious if the vehicles also use an INS system ties to an IGS.
At my local grocery store in Massachusetts, some fake meat products are now displayed in the meat section. The thing is though, they (Beyond, etc.) are sometimes more expensive than meat! In some contexts its considered the premium product, and its also there so people having a barbecue or something can provide an option for non-meat eaters. I don't believe at all that they're trying to trick anyone--its more than that. They're trying to position their products as a standard choice, not something from the "health food section."
I think so too. Maybe the distinguishing factor is that I'm a bit young to have played MI, so I don't really have any nostalgia for the old style. From just googling a few screenshots I think the new art looks pretty cool.
I had understood that this was also true under ~MacOS and~ Windows.

Keylogging and screen monitoring is trivial in Windows.

Wayland solves a problem that is present on all systems, but it does it with a sledgehammer.

[Edit] I am reminded that MacOS has a sane model for this.
I feel like referring to them as an opponent isn't helping matters.
I’ve also been confused. I went to what I thought was a health food restaurant and ordered iirc a chicken sandwich. Received gardein which if you’ve had it is like a 1990s tier veggie burger aka not good. The cheese on it was also fake american cheese which itself was never cheese to begin with, but they still called it cheese despite it being nothing like cheese in taste or texture and only vaguely in color. At least let me know what I’m getting into instead of playing cute and having this game with the menu.
"ASI"?
So if we're not to use the Constitution to determine what are the proper legal powers of the federal government, how can we decide what the rules are to be? It seems like you're advocating just tossing out the Constitution since it's inconvenient.
Curious as to why you set ts but not sw?

As opposed to what? Reflecting it? (Honest question.)
Yeah, I still have yet to try Wayland (Xfce user here, which I expect may never port), and I never really got the hype. I honestly just don't get all the gripe people have about X11. I think all the current problems (including the security issues) are solvable through new extensions, if someone wanted to take the time to work them out. Given that But no, it's better to throw everything out, start from scratch, create a ton of new work for people, and 12 years later still not have displaced X11.

Put another way: do we truly believe that in 12+ years, some motivated hackers couldn't evolve X11 into something better? I get that many of the people involved were burnt out on it, and sure, no one (myself included) stepped up to the plate, but it doesn't seem plausible to me that X11 and Xorg are lost causes.
I’ll be moving my admittedly small projects to CloudFlare Pages.
I find it slightly disingenuous that Netlify still promote the free plan on their website without mentioning the public git requirement.
> [...] I know there are people who don’t like Wayland’s design or goals. Same with systemd. But we still hear constant complaining.

You know, I was anti-systemd at first, until I started learning more about it and honestly, I kind of like it now. Yes, I fully admit that makes me crazy, but hey the world is upside down anyway so why not join the party? ;-)

> [...] You don’t have to like it, you don’t have to use it. But the other (or older) options aren’t going to get much development.

THIS. THIS THIS THIS! This is why I use Linux! Because with Crapple and Microsnot, I don't have this choice. At least with Linux, I do! Kinda sucks about the other options not being maintained, and I agree that's a problem, but this right here is why I dropped both MacOS and Windows earlier this year for 100% Linux full-time.

And Linux as a desktop has a LONG way to go. But Wayland is a good start.

I, and only I, goddammit, will decide what code runs on MY computer. (Within functional reason; not a lot you can do about binary firmware blobs, realistically, but you get the point.)

Microsoft and Apple rob people of this necessary choice. Such a detriment to personal freedom and security is not acceptable. And if that means I have to endure the X vs. Wayland drama and nonsense, in order to maintain the liberty I should have damn well had from the beginning, well then so be it. I'll take that hit and be better for it.
