I don't think they're gone. What I meant by "gap left" is that they are not very good, in that they are extremely complex.

And I don't buy the argument that the market is gone. Everything we interact with on the computer is through a desktop app. The fact that so many apps are written in Electron tells us two things: (1) many people still need to write desktop apps, (2) there is no good cross-platform framework to do so.

> But I don't think that's Wayland's fault - it's up to those apps to upgrade their UI libraries (which might be a monumental task, I'm not sure).

Actually, it is Wayland's fault[0], and arguably Xorg is able to handle it better[1].

Basically, the protocol doesn't currently support sending a fraction as the scale to the application, so whenever you've got displays with DPIs that are not integer multiples of one another, the compositor will scale down on at least one of those displays, causing blur. In Xorg, it is normal for applications to simply detect the DPI of the display they're on and render accordingly. In either case, it requires support from the graphical framework used by the application (eg, Qt applications seem to automatically handle this on Xorg).

I would quite like to replace one of my monitors in a multi-monitor setup with a HiDPI one, but lack of support for this is what's holding me back. I'd be happy enough if Firefox just added support to Xorg for DPI detection[2], though if Wayland gets this working first, I'll probably switch over to that (I've gone back and forth between Xorg/xmonad and Wayland/sway, and I don't really see any other blockers for me).

There's a real risk for communities, though. A group of communities currently on Facebook may see their members flee to several independent alternatives, which will kill any cross-group participation. That stuff has the ability to break communities which may never grow back in the same form.

I'd much rather see Facebook and Whatsapp follow the law than see the general population get an even worse feeling about data privacy laws. Banning these platforms plays right into the books of the tech giants.

>Systemd went against the whole philosophy of linux. The philosophy is to be able to choose which software you use.

No, this is wrong in two ways.

First, that is not the Linux philosophy. According to Mr. Torvalds, the Linux philosophy is "Do it yourself": https://groups.google.com/g/linux.dev.kernel/c/qeeP584Ny08/m...

Second, even if that was the Linux philosophy, systemd didn't go against that choice. You can still choose whatever you want, by removing systemd from your system and replacing it with something else. This can be as simple as changing the symlink of /sbin/init to something else, but it gets harder if you have more configuration you need to migrate over to a different format. Systemd has not made this any easier or harder. It is the same as it always is when migrating between two different choices.

And if you really do not like the way systemd is developed, and you do not like any of the available replacements, then according to Mr. Torvalds you should go and make a replacement yourself, just like the parent commenter has taken the initiative to do.

Well, you could look at it the other way. How much innovation was enabled when everyone in the world who wanted to build an electronic gadget had the parts available earlier for less money?

You see less supplier innovation. I see more customer innovation.
As a child i never got why adults stand on Lego, especially as i knew they found it painful (and if it were my Lego i found the risk of broken pieces concerning!) Obviously I appreciated that it was an accident but to me it seemed like the most easily avoided accident - just look at the floor and pick a route that doesn't involve stepping on it.

What's a suprise is, as an adult, i still feel the same way. Sure, I've larger feet now and I'm perhaps a shade less precise, but unless it's approaching total floor covering there would usually be routes. Some commenters below implied that people might enjoy the pain but that doesn't seem like it's the case: people really complain about this happening, but irrationally it doesn't seem to bother them enough to avoid it.

No idea what the solution is. Perhaps one could go all-in and make it even more dangerous: spread drawing pins on the floor too, it's sort of the nuclear option, but that would get attention, in turn resulting in less pain.

Thankfully it's not a problem i need to solve, but I'd love to hear if someone had a better idea (besides something like insisting kids clear it up, which is no fun!)
Musk Warns of Insufficient Population
> I'm not that old, but even I remember a time when companies, at least in principle, would invest in their employees (via stable employment, regular raises, mutual trust) in return for employees investing in the companies (innovation, extra effort, dedication, championing the company brand).

So I'm in my mid 40s, and my earliest memories of company-labor relationship, has always been one of union crushing, layoffs, and pitting towns against each other to see which factory or mine was going to close first, before offshoring. But then again, I grew up in the deindustrializing midwest.

I'm not saying this rosey world never existed (I believe lifetime quality employment still existed in the 1960s), but it's been like this for more than half a century.
> Musk should immediately take steps to demonstrate that he can build and support ethical community frameworks

That might be good advice, but is hinging on one massive prerequisite: I am not sure he actually can.
Fwiw, as far as stock sales being blocked. You can probably easily bypass that if you prepare in advance.

There exists a standard stock transfer mechanism, ACATS, for basically "wiring" your stocks to a different brokerage. I think these transfers are also legally mandated to some extent.

My previous company partnered with ETrade, giving us a special account for stock awards. The main special thing about it were insane commission, order(s?) of magnitude higher than interactive brokers. I moved the stocks to IB using ACATS; it felt like ETrade tried to use stalling tactics like asking me to mail a paper form I think (I called bs), then iirc there was an error because the account was special so the transfer logic couldn't find it, etc. But after persisting I saved 100s of $$ and also the company had no control of the stock anymore (we had some earnings lock outs, not that it affected me).

The downside is that it might mess with automatic tax stuff, iirc dates-CBs got transferred but I had to redo something about these tx-es, maybe ISO stuff? Not sure if anything was missing for RSUs, I assume things like espp cost basis might get lost, we didn't have it.

Now I wonder if I should do the same for my current company stock... just in case.
A few years ago I wanted to make my movie-watching more representative of relative populations of countries, so I made this list. Most strikingly, about 4 movies in each 100 I watch should be from USA.

Percentage of world population:
China 18.5 -
India 17.7 -
USA 4.25 -
Indonesia 3.5 -
Pakistan 2.8 -
Brazil 2.7 -
Nigeria 2.6 -
Bangladesh 2.1 -
Russia 1.9 -
Mexico 1.65 -
Japan 1.6 -
Ethiopia 1.5 -
Philippines 1.4 -
Egypt 1.3 -
Vietnam 1.25 -
DR Congo 1 -
Turkey 1 -
Iran 1 -
Germany 1 -
Thailand 0.9 -
UK 0.9 -
France 0.8 -
Italy 0.8 -
Tanzania 0.8 -
South Africa 0.8 -
Myanmar 0.7 -
Kenya, South Korea, Colombia 0.6 -
Spain, Uganda, Argentina, Algeria, Sudan, Ukraine 0.6 -
Iraq, Afghanistan, Poland, Canada, Morocco, Saudi Arabia 0.5

It would be fascinating to ask people around the world - "What percentage of the world's population lives in your country?"

NimSkull: A Hard Fork of Nim
> Here's one: cross-platform GUI apps will, without exception, feel subtly wrong on every platform. Each platform has its own "way" of doing things.

Is that really true though? No one cares about this for webapps, so why do they care about it on desktop apps? In my opinion, this is one thing that web apps have taught people, in that there isn't much sense anymore about having OS-specific "look and feel", if that is even a thing, and I think the OS-makers agree because even Windows and macOS are chock full of inconsistencies. And in general, I hate moving across apps, like Visual Studio and Outlook for example, that adopt the OS-isms of their host OS, because it means you gotta learn the same app twice.

About the only real difference are the way menu bars, toolbars, and docking are handled, and probably file pickers. Outside of that, I don't see why an app that looks the same across three different OSs is bad.

That is the problem with defining Linux Desktop support as I have said this many times before. It has been more than 20 years and the same fragmentation and inconsistency issues are still here. It is not early days anymore.

It works fine on macOS as mentioned in that thread, especially with 4000 rooms on both Firefox and Chrome and supporting that is simple with a predictable desktop stack. The Linux Desktop however is eternally plagued with these issues and the support and testing is very expensive.

It is a serious and fundamental problem with multiple alternative of alternatives of system components to test and the problem [0] may still happen deeper in the desktop stack and looking for the root cause is like finding a silver needle in the sky and would require a mixture or part time / full time devs to test or debug literally everything that is in the stack to reproduce or actually find it.

The fact that it works fine on macOS and it hasn't been solved on Linux yet, tell us that defining Linux Desktop support and targeting / supporting 100% of Linux Desktop users is an impossibility. It's a very expensive contraption to support, unlike the users on Windows and macOS.

What I've never understood is the type of person that tries to convince people they've worked with for years to sign a document like that. How do you baldly screw over somebody you know? Just because your own boss told you to?

If it only takes a few bad actors, everyone in the US would be condemned by guilt by association. We are responsible for our own acts, not people who look like us (imagine what that would mean for US-born people with white skin!).

I think a claim against anyone and especially any group of people needs to be supported by clear evidence. It's too dangerous and easy to demonize some outsider group, and we've seen a long history of horrible outcomes for innocent people.

There is much more reason to suspect problems at DHS, given the OP.
Doesn't the buck stop with the CEO?

Most big companies I’ve worked in the entire C-suite has their own fiefdoms.

The CEO has direct reports in their C-levels, but the C-levels “own” their own orgs that the CEO isn’t as close to.

The relationship between a CEO and a COO is much closer to a equal relationship than a boss and subordinate.
Probably because the app is a bloated piece of junk

I remember that time too, back before we had armies of employees with nebulous job titles like "Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Advocate". Maybe someone realized some of these positions don't actually create any value, product, or service. Or as you put it, "Because business sense, etc." My impression is Twitter has extremely high overhead costs, and the gravy train has run out of steam.
CDL may also lower the legal BAC to .03, which would be a problem for many people. I only know one person to mention that and he had the full class A license (it was his turn to drive home so his wife was drinking and he refused even one drink even though they were planning to stay for more than the hour it takes for alcohol to clear the bloodstream because he refused to risk his license)

Instructing kids to clean up their mess isn't just wholesome fun, but it also teaches a valuable life skill! Might not be much "fun" for them to start, but kids actually benefit from having responsibilities. And, if you make it a precondition for something they want to do, they'll be motivated!

Hi! Christina from Vanta here.

The Trust Reports contain programmatically-validated information (basically: Vanta's code says the control was in place continuously.)

There's (obviously) pros and cons of trusting a software provider (like Vanta) to validate technical configuration compared to trusting a human auditor to do the same.

Our bet with Trust Reports is that for some cases, having software do the checking and validation continuously is better than having a human auditor do it once a year.
"Although, I’m curious where the desire for a truck and a boat comes from." is this a serious question or a comment for you to grandstand on your perceived superiority and 'green cred'?

"I would sell it, but then someone else would presumably actually use it. So instead, it sits there in the drive."

It sounds like it could be, but seriously? a) who talks to people like this and b) would actually do something that silly, spend money to keep something to grandstand on the fact that you are saving the earth by owning something to prevent others from using it.

Surely you could do something else with your time and money to further your goals and 'values' that would be far more productive. Such a strange mentality.
I think you've missed my point. It's not about what they say. What they say is a reflection of the impact you've had on their lives. It isn't about leaving behind a legacy of "historical impact". The exercise is meant to cause you to reflect on what behaviours, what actions are likely to leave such positive impacts on others that they feel that way. Focusing solely on material success is unlikely to result in that kind of positive impact. If there's any legacy at all, its in that people may wish to emulate your best behaviours as a result of your impact.

How does that work? Arathorn in a sibling comment says that there's out of band something, which I interpret to mean some verification process, but for the life of me I can't imagine what that process might be or how it might work without any sort of account... unless the client generates a unique a key per user session and coordinates the key exchange with a single host server behind the scenes to encrypt that session's data?

What am I missing?
