It shows pretty clearly what these "discussions" did to at least one maintainer of a compositor I've spent thousands of hours in front of. Thanks for burning him, I guess.

When I recount difficulties with any FOSS application, I try to be very humble, always remembering the immeasurable amount of work put in by developers to give me this thing for free. Somehow you don't see a lot of this in these Wayland threads. A commenter waltzes in, leaves a classic screed ("you won't see my business unless this XYZ thing works!"), and marches out. Leaving no word of thanks for work that has already been done, not throwing a couple of bucks for a coffee.

Maybe it's a cultural difference, I don't know. Seems very entitled to me.
This seems like a very pedantic and harsh comment? I’d expect most people at HN to understand what “serverless” means, and it appears that tight integration with this architecture is the whole USP of this project, and as such I’d say the author made an excellent choice of putting it in the name: it makes it immediately clear what its key differentiator is.
Not this project specifically, but a DoH resolver of your own is pretty nice. It's almost impossible for someone to reliably block it by filtering DNS packets (many public networks do for some reason), you can do your own crazy levels of caching (I ignore TTLs and serve stale responses for speed), in general my setup for this just works very pleasantly.

Can be, not necessarily are.

Check "Recycling Process" here:

Particularly:

>The industry is new and still growing, with researchers examining how to commercialize recycling to economically recover most of the components of a solar panel. Elements of this recycling process can be found in the United States, but it is not yet happening on a large scale.

The question revolves around the existence of suitable recycling plants and whether the capacity of these plants is enough (particuarly in times when a "first generation" of panels is progressively approaching an "end of service life").

Original research article: Plastic pollution fosters more microbial growth in lakes than natural organic matter - http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-31691-9

> Plastic debris widely pollutes freshwaters. Abiotic and biotic degradation of plastics releases carbon-based substrates that are available for heterotrophic growth, but little is known about how these novel organic compounds influence microbial metabolism. Here we found leachate from plastic shopping bags was chemically distinct and more bioavailable than natural organic matter from 29 Scandinavian lakes. Consequently, plastic leachate increased bacterial biomass acquisition by 2.29-times when added at an environmentally-relevant concentration to lake surface waters. These results were not solely attributable to the amount of dissolved organic carbon provided by the leachate. Bacterial growth was 1.72-times more efficient with plastic leachate because the added carbon was more accessible than natural organic matter. These effects varied with both the availability of alternate, especially labile, carbon sources and bacterial diversity. Together, our results suggest that plastic pollution may stimulate aquatic food webs and highlight where pollution mitigation strategies could be most effective

> The top 10 countries ranked in the order of high to low average EE2 concentration in surface water, were Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Laos, Brazil, Argentina, Kuwait, Thailand, Indonesia and Portugal, with the respective mean concentrations of 27.7, 22.1, 21.5, 21.1, 13.6, 9.6, 9.5, 8.8, 7.6 and 6.6 ng/L

Going by Wikipedia, lets see what a does is... "Doses of more than 50 µg EE are considered high-dose, doses of 30 and 35 µg EE are considered low-dose, and doses of 10 to 25 µg EE are considered very low dose"[1] More specifically for transfem use of 2mg orally is considered a low dose[2]

Let's consider that the average person drinks 4 liters of water a day. In Vietnam that's 0.11µg a day, or 1/100th of a normal dose for an estradiol treatment for birth control and 1/20th rate of a "low dose" for MTF transfem usage in the most polluted country.

Do I think this pollutant is fine and not a concern? No. It has other side effects and it's probably not great to have all the compounds we give to livestock running off into our drinking water.

I bring this up because of the right wing fear of the "feminization of men." Vietnam you could get 1/20th a low dose of EE2 a day and whatever you're getting elsewhere less. Where the right wing ideology on this is strongest (US perhaps?) people would be getting a lower dose than even listed in the abstract, so 1/80th or less a day.

EDIT: a different comment actually posted a chart showing the level of exposure in the US, which is LESS than 1ng. So less than 1/200th of a low dose. Calm down folks, or at least find something different to be afraid of.

I agree with you.

For the oil example, I can think of a very simple explanation that has nothing to do with computing power. They state that the drilling success rate was 10% in 1940 and 70% in 2010. In other words, out of 10 exploratory drills, 9 were dry in 1940 and only 3 in 2010. And since the companies use computers to predict the presence of oil, and the computing power has increased, voila, the computing power explains the increased success.

But the alternative explanation is that over time oil could be found at higher and higher depths. The cost of exploration has increased. When it does not cost you much to drill a shallow hole (in 1940), you don't mind if you miss 9 times out of 10. But if you have to put in millions of dollars to drill to thousands of meters depths, then you think twice (or maybe 10 times) before you drill.

Any prediction system will give you an estimated probability of success. If the cost of failure is not high, you may decide to drill as soon as p > 10%. But if it's high, you may increase the threshold to 90%.

Of course, I'm not saying this is all there is to it. But it's likely that this explained part of the increased success. Another part is no doubt due to more experience. Another is due to algorithmic advances. Yet another to the improvement in the seismic sensors and technology used.
It happens the way anything else gets abandoned… not enough contributors. Many of the libraries mentioned in the comments here were created by one person. When that person loses interest (or gets a new job!) the library goes stagnant.

It’s kind of a tragic irony. Clojure gives a solo dev enough leverage to create such a library. But because it only needs one dev to create it, the bus number stays at 1.

If someone is running a network of that scale with a dinky little router that chokes at the prospect of remembering a few thousand leases, DHCP really is the least of their problems.

> Security? My whole $HOME is readable and writeable to just about any application I run; using Wayland is like locking my windows but leaving my front door wide open.

Exactly. Like, holy moly did the people working on Wayland get carried away by the mobile OS world. And second system syndrome too probably. I'm using $DISTRO because I trust them enough to not package spyware/malware in their repos. I know it's not 100% safe, there have been and will be security bugs that don't get fixed in a timely manner, or even ones that got introduced by distro-specific patches in the first place, but holy hell my OSS desktop is not a proprietary smartphone OS loaded with random closed-source apps from god knows who that tries to steal my data for profit. If I get pwned then it's certainly not through my display server.

I mean, eventually, like always, the open source world will get its shit together, and Wayland will probably become usable, but we only recently kinda solved the whole screen recording issue.

A few weeks ago I wanted to have a simple script, that would quickly switch between a couple display configurations. With X11 that was dead simple by using xrandr. It works with every DE/WM on this planet. You'd assume there's an equivalent tool for Wayland. But mumble mumble security, you cannot do that, so we got the same f#+ing situation as with screen recording again, every WM/compositor comes up with their own solution to something absolutely trivial. GNOME/Mutter have a dbus-API, wlroots-based ones have "wlrandr" via some protocol extension, KWIN I didn't even bother checking. But it's only 15 years since the project started right, why should something trivial as this have been settled upon yet? I even stumbled upon a discussion in an issue tracker that I cannot find just now where Wayland devs argued that you don't even want something like that. Like, go working for Apple with that mindset.

Give it another 10 years, and it might be ready to serve more than the absolutely trivial average Joe use-case.
I would expect this to also be a HIPAA violation.

> parent said it caused network issues at their university.

No, the parent's university's apparent problem was that their DHCP was reallocating IP addresses soon after expiry. Dramatically increasing the pool size and the lease time wasn't the problem, it's the solution.
>The Soviets and Americans also did a lot of borderline and dangerous stuff when doing prestige and science.

the difference being that the cold war fueled novel R&D and science that the world had never seen; the Long March is a tool that was created as a means to chase after the capabilities of similar Heavy-Lift style rockets. The experimentation of the Cold War was fairly tightly controlled and limited in quantity; the Long March is supposed to be used for generally all space construction for the foreseeable future.

Given that this class of tool exists in the world already, all we can be asked to do is judge it against its' peers. They all have had accidents, but if the Long March is going to be known for spraying debris across the planet then this is a problem that everyone must pay attention to, regardless of where China has progressed to with regards to their safety culture.

We're not talking about Chinese safety when we're referring to space debris; this encapsulates the entire world.
Animals, or at least most mammals and birds, can be trained. Human animals that haven't been trained with a morality system or something effectively similar have only a relatively straight-forward cost/benefit analysis as their decision calculus.

Most humans have a morality system to the extent that they'd rather starve to death than engage in cannibalism, for example. It requires more effort, but they can also be socialized to endure reduced access to drugs in exchange for not stealing.

Which extension?

The difference is probably in the way WPA is handled; WPA Supplicant can be made to work with any radio module that supports passing through the authentication and encryption. But Windows doesn't use WPA Supplicant and instead relies on each manufacturer to make sure their driver either has its own WPA Supplicant or uses on-chip authentication and encryption in the WiFi module itself.

The big difference between them is that on Linux it will work, but heavy traffic will eat CPU cycles. On Windows it simply might not work at all, but when it does, and if the driver is not written by 1000 monkeys on typewriters, it can offload a lot of heavy lifting to the WiFi ASIC.

I'd say that in all cases, the WiFi chip manufacturers are to blame, but the software fallback that WPA supplicant provides should really be the lowest bar any device or OS should be able to pass.
> For US recessions, Wikipedia has historically relied on NBER research to decide when recessions begin and end.

IMHO the golden years for making friends are the school years, peaking in High School and College. After that it's a desert compared to that oasis.

That said there's a cheat I've heard of for the terminally lonely extravert: Clubs and Volunteering. I haven't tried either myself as I'm an introvert and near hermit happy with my three super-extravert friends that only need to hear from me a couple times a year.

Then there's the ultimate cheat, get married and have kids. Totally worth it, IMHO.
That doesn't really sound testable to me.

I mean, theoretically, yeah. You could do the test if you had some sort of absolute tyranny over people, a ton of money, about 1000 babies to otherwise do nothing else with, staff to raise those babies according to the experiment, and the 20-35 years of time to wait for the experiment to conclude. I'm sure I'm forgetting some crucial variable to control for though.

But that test is never going to be run. Nobody has that kind of time, that kind of money, that lack of morals, nor that energy to devote to this. There isn't a review board on the planet that would allow for this to occur, for good reason.
