Who is expecting Wayland support besides Redhat and Collabora?

And yes, talking to Wayland directly is extremely cumbersome and unnecessary complex. That's why nobody uses it.
Nicely shot videos. I have these birds in my area every day. Might need to dust off the 3d printer and make some puzzles. But it's challenging to keep cockies from destroying plants in the garden. I need a solution to that problem first.
No idea, but from context, maybe they meant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_Dwelling_Unit? Really weird phrasing either way.
I don't think I've ever had or seen anyone I know have this problem, ever, when disposing of trash. Is this a real issue...?
There was no equivalent a few generations ago because hardly anyone went to university at all.
I took a sabbatical to travel, and at the end of it what I learned was: any problems I faced, I managed to get out of it fine. And I realized I can apply this skill to any other problem in my life. I wondeered what if I couldn't find a developer job? I'd say keep looking, and do something else in the meanwhile (e.g. make mobile apps, or even change jobs).

OP you also have a bit of fatalistic view of "What if I never find another dev job?". Never is a long timeline, sooner or later you'll surely find something new. "What if I feel fatigued?" Well, I wonder how many of us push 100% at work or if many are just coasting, browsing HN too much.
Reading the Apple apologist replies to this, is a lesson in why arguing with cultists or any other religious types, is pointless.

"Here is something that is a fact, which we all (including you) agreed is true. It demonstrates why X is false."

The fact that others might misbehave too does not invalidate OP's claim, in that no one should blindly trust a corporation. And let me add, an US corporation even more.
We're currently dealing with crashes across all Qt applications using QML on NixOS [1], since Qt utilizes the binary's mtime to invalidate the cache of embedded QML resources.

Since all builds have an mtime of 0 as timestamps are the biggest source of reproducibility issues [2], QML loads outdated cache objects which will then load invalid bytecode at runtime and therefore causing a crash.

Our initial plan was to utilize a hash of the binary [3] which should be IMHO the most straightforward, unlikely to break and future-proof way to solve the problem. The currently suggested implementation's performance could most likely be improved by generating the hash once on startup instead of every time when a QML resource is loaded, but I believe since it's already cached in memory, hashing is not that expensive, binary sizes are usually relatively small and resource loading (of embedded ones) doesn't happen that often, it should be already reasonably fast (real performance test haven't been done yet).

The big challenge will be upstreaming it, once we've proven it to properly work. The current approach has been apparently rejected [4] and was declared to be a downstream issue, which I personally don't agree with, since sooner or later reproducible builds will become the norm and therefore will affect everyone.
Current ideas to work around it require individual solutions per distribution/ISV, as this would mean they'd have to come up with domain specific criteria for cache invalidation (as the store path/derivation hash on NixOS) and to maintain a downstream patch for this solution and furthermore wouldn't work for local build processes (e.g. from within an IDE).

Lesson of the day: never use mtimes, they'll bite you in the ass sooner or later!

Falsehoods programmers believe about visitors to national parks:

1. everyone has a phone that has a camera

2. everyone has a phone that has internet access

3. everyone's internet access works at all times

4. everyone's phone has charge at all times

... etc

Sorry that was a bit mean but I couldn't help it :) If you're not familiar with the format, there's a number of "falsehoods programmers believe about X" articles, for example:

- https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-...

- https://www.mjt.me.uk/posts/falsehoods-programmers-believe-a...

For what it's worth I don't think it's a huge ask to request visitors to carry their rubbish away with them when they visit somewhere like this. If you managed to bring it out there you can surely take it back.
It's not as far-fetched as it sounds. Take a look at their specific California examples:

I wrote an article about making server-side rendered sites fast around the world without a CDN at https://fly.io/ruby-dispatch/semi-static-websites/

My examples are in Ruby, which is super slow compared to what you’re doing. Now I’m super curious what kind of performance you’d get globally on Fly if you deployed to a bunch of different regions.
Which isn't necessarily a bad thing?

Maybe it's just semantics and terminology, but I consider those two very different roles (that admittedly are sometimes done by the same person). A manager has personnel and admin responsibilities, and ultimately is the one that decides which projects I work on and how I spend my time. My manager can fire me, while my project lead cannot. My manager is the person I go to talk salary and related issues. I can be working on 3 different projects with 3 different project leads, while still having the same manager.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I completely agree that there should be lots of safeguards.

But it should be lived. At the very least, old language should be refreshed. And yes, it will cause a lot of debate, but that’s good, that’s what democracies live from, reasonable debates – rather than “no” and “I hate you lot”.
Such clean and well organized work I rarely see. Painfully, I have to switch back now to my dayjob IDE.
> it’s likely a matter of months before authentic-looking video of newly invented Seinfeld bits like this can be generated by anyone with a few basic, not-especially-technical skills

Let's define "authentic-looking video" as a clip at least 30 seconds long, with good lip-sync, integrating realistic voice, without significant logical incoherence and able to follow prompts that impact both the "scenario" and the "decor" of the video at least reasonably well. That won't happen in a year and there is a good chance it won't happen in 2 years. Production-ready quality for minute-long videos involving an actual plot, even after human post-processing (excluding very significant human involvement) will not be there in the next 5 years.
Weawow for Dark Sky data source, which is most accurate for Prague, Geometric Weather with AccuWeather would be 2nd most accurate for Prague. I fear the time Dark Sky will be shut down and there won't be replacement available (I thought there should be just under different name), if I have to resort to AW or Wunderground. :-(

The app doesn't really matter, what matters are the data sources which are most accurate for your location, Weawow, Today Weather and Weather Mate provide the most sources, so you can compare them over span of few weeks to see which one is the most accurate and has the least amount of false negative/positives based on your preference

Personally I don't really care whether the real temperature in the end is 19, 21 or 23C, it makes small difference, but it's big difference whether app tells me it's gonna rain and then it doesn't rain or vice versa when planning my schedule. Problem with most of the apps/sources I compared is they give too many false positives for rain.

For radar I just use home screen link to local Czech radars (provided either by Meteopress or CHMI), no point to have app for that.
Supervenience?
There are languages like Lua that do not require semicolons and are also whitespace (and newline) insensitive.

That comes with other tradeoffs, the main one being that Lua is forced to maintain a pretty restrictive grammar to remain unambiguous. There are only very limited expression statements, for example. But anyway, it exists and it addresses the points you specifically made in your comment.
I really don't care about the UI, just the data. And Dark Sky data was superior to anything else I've seen.

Ukrainian Successes Raise Russian Collapse to Realm of Possibility
It's been falling steadily over time. Left wing bias in universities was far less extreme in the 60s. Given the prevalence of articles by conservatives saying they were kicked out for ideological reasons, and that this article is about the practice of forcing applicants to write a loyalty pledge to leftist dogma, it is safe to assume that this decline was largely a deliberate takeover by people who devoted themselves to excluding others over a long period of many decades.
This is true for proto3, but not for proto2 (except for repeated fields, which are always non-null but can contain 0 items).

Proto2 has `HasFoo` methods, which distinguish between empty (unset/null) and set explicitly to zero fields.

I don't like that proto3 made this choice, I think it was wrong, but there was some rationale behind it beyond just "elegance".

But wait. India by has refused to jump on the 'sanction Russia' bandwagon. And their economy recently overtook the UK's.

This. There are relatively few visual cues for laypeople to detect counterfeit older (and even moderately recent) US dollar bills. There are no UV sensitive areas, the watermark line is rather faint and there's no special stuff like holographic images, transparent inserts or metal foils etc.

The only way I've really seen people check medium denomination ($10s, $20s, $50s) bills is via an iodine pen test which would react to starch in regular paper but is un-reactive on real bills which are actually printed on a fabric-based material. For large denominations ($100s) many places just don't accept them...
If you do a git clone locally (yes, git clone works with local paths) you can get all git objects packed into a single .pack file). The pack file may also deduplicate unchanged portions of tracked files. You can even do a shallow clone to reduce the size (and history) of the pack file.

All of this is also possible to do on a repository locally, without cloning.

> Given that the treasury department has frozen Tornado

They haven't though. Tornado Cash is still happily running. If you post your address here, some kind soul might even send you some ETH via Tornado Cash right now. They have asked regulated financial institutions to not receive ETH that came directly from Tornado Cash. That's it; that's all that they can do. While that puts a damper on people converting directly between ETH and USD at such institutions, it does bugger all for people conducting small/informal transactions

Rust could in some very specific cases be faster than C (assuming all other things equal) for the same reason of Fortran: it can disallow aliasing so the compiler could theoretically exploit this to generate faster code

In practice it depends on LLVM
> The risk of fire and contamination is practically the same.

Source? There's very little risk of an e-bike catching fire unless you're charging the battery. Most of the risk will be at home.

Battery fires gets a lot of attention because they're a new thing, but they're far safer than ICE alternatives in almost all circumstances. At least that's what the fire department here in Norway says, and they have pretty good experience with EVs by now.
> anyone could start their own alternative. They did not claim that it would be easy to do so.

Saying that anyone can accomplish a task posits some level of triviality or easiness that enables anyone to be able to accomplish it.

If I say anyone can lose weight, it is safe to assume that I mean losing weight is easy enough that anyone can do it.

Similarly, Australian Ravens are great. Characterful and bright. The young have a great sense of fun and are entertaining to watch. I have seen them playing a game of chase round the garden, play-fighting over a prized mango leaf. Adults are oddly risk-averse given their heft. Smaller birds seem able to intimidate them quite easily.
Correct. I do have the account, the password, the security answers. I can login, I can see my skin, I can change my password, I can change my email. The only thing that is gone, is the game download.

I wrote support, asking them to look into this. They demanded that original confirmation email, and since I wasn't able to provide that - they refused to look into the problem, or answer any of my questions.
No, fires happen because forests are now made solely of trees, whereas a forest normally has multiple layers, allowing it to retain moisture much better.

Of course, climate change and human stupidity are very strong factors as well.

Having a fully matured forest takes hundreds of years. Logging it on a regular basis make sure this never happens and also reduces the overall carbon sequestration. This lead to the interesting conundrum which is that even though the actual number of trees is growing, carbon sequestration is going down in forests. (Apologies, unable to find the link about the carbon sequestration decreasing for decades, if someone has it please post, I need to bookmark it.)
TC was designed to obscure the source of funds. Obscuring the source of funds is money laundering.

You're drawing a distinction between illicit and privacy-seeking transaction and I'm saying the act of obscuring the source is all that matters.
Ironically, it was PWC that came in after Deloitte and reported accounting irregularities to the board of Royal Ahold back in 2003 that lead to one of Europe's largest accounting scandals: https://www.sec.gov/news/press/2004-144.htm

KPMG was the auditors of USF before they were bought by Ahold, and their service period spans the window of when the accounting issues existed, so you have KPMG and Deloitte finally called out by PWC but that was almost 20 years ago.

I've recently started messing with a little cobol, the "display/accept" screen creation is really quite a nice method of developing a TUI. It can be made amazingly quickly and changed quicker than most apps (See https://wmealing.github.io/simple-cobol-query.html for example).

The GNUcobol implementation doesn't seem to support UTF-8 characters, that'd be awesome if it did, preventing even more awesome "screen/accept" input screens.

My big beef that I have with the language is that there is third party "extensions" built right into the language, which is very frustrating when trying to understand as a new user.

From my own experience, weiting test is a huuge advantage for a small time trade off. I didn’t write much in the previous company and we regret it every single day. New dev won’t write any as well because there’re just no discipline.

Also tbh feature branch is not really bad? How long does it take for one to create branch and open PR for reviews? It was a nightmare for everyone to merge in 1 branch then merge back to master when we want to lol.

FF 100% helps, but we shouldn’t compromise tests and PRs I believe (it also helps when we need to rollback stuff obviously)

Elon Musk's Twitter post was spammed by several hacked verified accounts with links to crypto scams.
Though this is the normal construction: noun + verb + "-er", like the "firefighter" and "naysayer" examples in the thread, whereas the tweet's claim is that "exocentric" coinages with form: verb + noun, such as "pickpocket" and "spendthrift" where the verb comes first and there's no "-er", date from 1550 to 1700 almost exclusively.

It feels like there should be a modern counterexample, but I admit I can't recall any. "Runmouth" would be a near miss, but it apparently refers to a personal quality rather than a person. Perhaps a resurgence is possible with words like "baitclick" and "postshit"?

I still wonder why Filippo tried to frame Dan Bernstein's FOIA lawsuit in a negative way [0]. I see it as important and given the NSAs history with Dual_EC_DRBG I think it's perfectly valid to suspect influence from them in the post-quantum crypto standardization process with the goal of trying to push cryptography they can break.

Eh, let people learn about JWZ's distaste for HN and the iconic picture of a hairy testicle in an eggcup. It's childish but harmless fun. The Internet has been sanitised enough already.
Marriage being an expression and means of "love" is a fairly modern phenomenon. Looking back throughout history, the vast majority of marriages were (and arguably still are) to obtain, transfer, or maintain wealth and power.

Arranged marriages are the most obvious example. Two families get together and decide <X> and <Y> will marry to advance familial interests; wishes and desires of <X> and <Y> be damned.

Divorces becoming normalized and destigmatized (to some degree) is also a modern phenomenon. Lest we forget, the Church of England came into existence for the sole reason that the English king at the time wanted to divorce his queen.

There's no reason to feel sad that marriage isn't about "love", because that notion is at best a recent turn of events, and at worst an elaborate lie woven by storytellers of various forms through the ages. Fact of the matter is that marriage for the vast portion of human history has never been about "love". Marriage has always been about money and power, and ultimately leaving offspring in a manner whose lineage can be easily traced back.
Don't you think the environmentalism was used to cover up political incompetence? When I read your comment it sounds like it worked because you take issue with the environmentalists rather than politicians.

You know, there are agricultural practices that reduce the quantity of fertilizer needed through very reasonable methods. Preventing soil erosion also prevents fertilizer run off. That fertilizer that is being flushed away is liquid money being flushed away. Caring about the environment isn't some irrational thing, it is good for business over the long term.
