I don't understand how this isn't mitigated by a CODEOWNERS file[0]. Give the directories to the teams that should own them, and now they have absolute control over the PR review process accordingly (and responsibility of incoming code for the directories that they own too).

wlroots & kde both have their own xdg-desktop-portal-*[1][2]'s, which don't seem to be built by Red Hat.

xdg-desktop-portal itself originates from Flatpak[3], which makes me think it's more like to related to Canonical/Ubuntu rather than being something RH drove.

Clearly a lot of people do like the features, hence some of the popularity of discord. But at its heart it seems like discord has one over general users by having a generally easier interface - from a non technical users point of view.

At some point I stopped using IRC or similar style communication (group iMessage worked), and then suddenly work stuff was all Slack, which is obviously a better service for businesses I guess?

I find a bunch of the discord and slack things more annoying than not, but I can understand their appeal to the wider market.
The good thing about MySpace, which was arguably also its weakness to Facebook, was that you weren't forced to use a real name. You could create multiple accounts, multiple identities, let your freak flag fly. Facebook/Instagram are so tied to people's real lives that you don't just have to filter yourself, you basically have to construct a false happy life for public display.
I don't know what you mean intentional. The problem is that you feel pressured to use it, no? Well it seems that pressure comes mostly from its popularity, or you would be using something else.

It took less than a week to Baader-Meinhof on this. Dutch has klootviol, "ballsviolin". But why that particular chordophone in both languages?

> afraid his ex was going to leak all of his discovery documents on the internet

Any chance of getting a clear protective order in advance from the judge, and then enforcing that with contempt of court sanctions if his ex violated the order?

The discovery process is very, very intrusive (sometimes unbelievably so), but judges presiding over cases involving sensitive discovery may be interested in trying to use their powers to mitigate harms from leaks.

(You could use some kind of PDF watermark or text watermark to confirm that the leaked version was the version produced in discovery.)

I am not saying Apple did anything wrong with their solution, I think it is great, really.

I then thought: isn't that something that terrorists and pedophiles will love? If it is really that effective, I expect that soon enough, we will stories about Apple helping very very bad people who are after your children, and I don't think Apple wants to be associated with crime, and I was wondering what would Apple strategy be.

And that's when I noticed that very specific claim "highly targeted cyberattacks from private companies developing state-sponsored mercenary spyware", what are the words "private" and "mercenary" doing here? They do nothing but reduce their claims?

I am not calling conspiracy here, and I really think what Apple did is great, but I suspect that specific wording is Apple being cautious, probably of potential association with crime.

I briefly moved in the same circles as Neil and I don't think his creative genius was ever fragile enough to need hollywood success to affirm it.

It’s interesting. 7 million in support to supply 97% of annual heat for 52 homes isn’t that far off being reasonable for an early R&D project. An 80% price drop at modest scale, say 100 different 300 home subdivisions actually seems achievable.

I think it’s largely a question of how dependent this is on local geology.

I didn’t find this article super useful, I ended up going over to the specs themselves and I was kind of disappointed.

The default non-TLS with whatever that standard is to say “always use TLS in future” is boneheaded. Not supporting TLS at this point is inexcusable for any client or server. I couldn’t work out whether they’d actually made DMs private yet or whether it was still plain text.

Those are things I’d consider baseline expectations for a specification 10 years ago, let alone today.
>do you really expect frustrated end users to drop everything else going on in their life and spend weeks learning the ropes of this shit

Are you sure you're responding to the correct post? I didn't say anything remotely like this. I asked if you would report the bug or try to do a little debugging, like spending a few minutes up to an hour. You don't have to learn any ropes, the internals should be very familiar to anyone who knows C and has some knowledge of audio. If this is important to your job, the company should be willing to let you do this on paid time. This stuff is open source, you either have a support vendor you pay to fix these bugs, or your company assigns developers to fix them yourself. There is no other way it happens. It's not a waste of time if you actually fix the bug.

And just to stress this, there is no other way the bugs get fixed. This is it. This is the whole thing. Some person somewhere does actually need to drop everything and go and start spending time fixing the bugs. No, it doesn't have to be for weeks. If you think a thousand bugs is a lot, well, yeah, it is. That's why you need to go take some initiative to give some information, to make your bug known and make it possible for anyone else to help. Otherwise, it blends in with all the other low-information bugs and it falls back on you to go fix it yourself. A bug report that just says "it doesn't work" with no additional information is not actionable, you need to provide more than that for anyone to be able to help you. If you become hostile after being asked to spend a few minutes reporting bugs, then it is definitely going to be impossible for anyone to help you.

M1 GPU also lives with the same RAM.
Seriously, no.

And this isn't just an unhelpful comment on a forum. This is serious advice from an expert here.

After patching the Nvidia driver and then patching the driver itself to allow other non-standard vgpu definitions what's the point of this? Its at best a feel good that I reimplemented a tiny part. You'd be better contributing patches against binary blobs to the community rather than wasting time on this.
They are not guaranteed to be contiguous, but they supposedly are if you specify a primative type and initialize them all at once. Tuples have a constant size, are contiguous, and immutable. So lots of optimization opportunity.

I open all sorts of PDFs, all the time, regardless of which computer I'm using.

Is PDF as an attack vector such a widespread threat? I never payed much attention to them, assuming it's a document format that is relatively harmless even if it can include javascript.

This is an honest question, by the way.
I like the thinking behind this article, but it seems to me that the additional types the author brings up are all just specialized versions of the four primary documentation types:

- Conceptual Overviews: High-level "explanations" (broader instead of deeper).

- Examples (and case studies): "How-to guides" that focus on more narrowly-specific use cases instead of more general or common ones.

- FAQs: "Reference" -- what readers want from FAQs are short concise answers, ideally with links to further details.

- Troubleshooting: "How-to guides" that focus on fixing common problems.

- Best practices: Opinionated "explanations" that focus just on best practices -- the best "best practices" guides explain why, not just what.

I hear similar things from the NRA about how we'd all be safer if everyone carried a concealed firearm. I just don't want the world to be a place where we all have to be armed and launder our money after every transaction.

There is always a balance that needs to be struck between privacy and accountability. Bob Woodward violated the privacy of the Nixon white house, but we generally believe the public interest there outweighs the privacy concerns at stake. I am always particularly skeptical of financial privacy maneuvers, since they are of considerably greater interest to the already rich and powerful.
They're emphasizing a precise distinction between "concurrent" (the way it's structured) and "parallel" (the way it runs).

Concurrent programs have multiple right answers for "Which line of computation can make progress?" Sequential execution picks one step from one of them and runs it, then another, and so on, until everything is done. Whichever step is chosen from whichever computation, it's one step per moment in time; concurrency is only the ability to choose. Parallel execution of concurrent code picks steps from two or more computations and runs them at once.

Because of the GIL, Python on CPython has concurrency but limited parallelism.

The original comment provides more factual context than yours:

> current controversy has been stirred up by Hindu nationalists targeting India's Muslim minority

This is just an opinion. And no mention of the ISIS-style executions carried out by the 'Muslim minority'?

> The Gyanvapi mosque is older than the United States

What is your point? The Hindu temple it was built over is older than the Islamic religion.

> Zubair was arrested within days of a complaint being raised on a tweet he made in 2018, while Nupur Sharma hasn't been arrested yet, even after causing an international incident.

Zubair was arrested for rumor mongering to disrupt harmony between religions, which is a crime in India.

And why should Nupur be arrested? She only stated facts often stated by Islamic scholars themselves.

> The link below gives more details about the tweet that led to Zubair's arrest.

Zubair has a long history of tweets and posts mocking Hindu Gods. Here are some screenshots of ones he deleted:

Yes IRC came first. The point is that every sufficiently experienced IRC user is running an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden implementation of half of slack, via their bouncers/bots/etc.
it's extremely humorous how "trend-chasing" the small arms market was at that time. First cartridges... then brass cartridges... then centerfire... then brass... then repeating weapons... then high-velocity cartridges... then spitzer point bullets... it's almost a Pentagon Wars style story chasing the latest technological developments and often trying to modify your existing inventory to fit the latest need.

The Krag didn't have spitzer-point bullets so it had to go, despite poor tactics really being more at play than the rifles themselves. And the Krag was banned from the service-rifle category of the influential National Match shooting competition after some humiliating upsets showed this.

> Maybe better to elaborate on what it should be, if not fast?

It should satisfy the needs of the customer and it should be reasonably secure.

Everything else is a luxury.

My point was that in most of my time in the industry being faster would not have benefited my customers in any manner worth measuring.

I'm not anti-performance. I fantasize about how to make my software faster to maintain my geek credentials. But neither my bosses nor my customers pay for it.

If a customer says they want it faster we'll oblige.
I agree that DRM is bad and that people should be able to exercise the full capabilities of their computer and the data on it. However, this includes controlling access to your computer and your data.

Saying this is tantamount to DRM misunderstands what the problem is and what empowerment means. Actions taken by those in positions of power and those who are not aren't morally equivalent. This sort of thinking is damaging to any effort to empower users.
Not a designer, but here's my take:

Clipping is a good approach to maintaining the interface widget. However, the content still needs to be exposed somehow, such as with a tooltip on hover. Similar to how all "3 days ago" "dates" should show the actual date/time when hovered.

The default interface should be clean and easy, not cluttered, with a more detailed level available on request.

My company is Bristle (bristlehealth.com), and we've found several things that look to cultivate healthy species so far.

Hygiene plays a huge role (of course), but outside of that diet plays a large role. Cheese/dairy has been found to reduce cavity incidence, high fiber vegetables stimulate saliva production and neutralize acid, and a nitrate rich diet has been shown to increase levels of beneficial bacteria (called nitrate reducing species) that help us produce nitric oxide [2].

There's some exciting research on probiotics [3] as potential interventions as well, particularly if used with a proper hygiene regimen.

I regularly use my work laptop for unrelated purposes. Working from home has encouraged this behavior.

I know they monitor some things because they are upfront about it: Chrome says it's company managed, and there is an antivirus and some VPN software that must be always one.

But why do I care? They don't crack down on us, and know everyone plays games or visits non-work-related sites, watches YouTube, or even do homework on these laptops.

I'm not going to work for the competition using the company's laptop, so why worry?
You usually have to meet certain conditions (like maintaining certain balance) that most people don't want or can't do.
I've never heard of the British study you propose being the source of my observation. But it doesn't matter. If we're talking about deep ancestry, like say tracing your lineage back to Charlemagne (which seems to be a popular anchor), you're talking about 40 to 50 "fathers" between the good old King and a modern descendent. If there is a 1% probability in each generation that the paternity recorded was wrong, then you're looking at at least a 1 in 3 chance that your paternity chain is broken. If the rate is even as high as 2%, it's 1 in 3 that the chain isn't broken. One break, of course, and your claim of descent is invalid.
