> It also require above average engineers to fix the mess and own it for which there is not much benefit.

That's not true, it doesn't require above average engineers. It requires a tech lead that has the desire and backing to make a change, and engineers willing to listen and change. It doesn't require a 10x engineer to start using version control, or to tell their team to start using version control for example..
That's interesting, I've never thought of people with old houses correlating with old tech.

No bloody idea, nouveau is broken. Sorry to break it to you or you're either using NVIDIA binary drivers or buy a different GPU.

It's a forgone conclusion. Once the ratcheting process starts, it doesn't matter how far behind the open source option is behind the proprietary one, and doesn't matter how slowly it advances, it wins.

By ratcheting process I mean how something open can never go backwards to un-existing. Once something exists at all, it's there for that maybe one other person maybe 5 years later to build on by adding maybe one weekends work, eventually it gets to a usable state for at least some applications, even if they are only small ones. The slick feature rich proprietary current industry standard can sneer at that every day for decades, and then it is surpassed.

"What's the point of developing new faster CPUs if it takes the software guys just a few months to undo all the hardware progress?"

Nice you found out and mention it here.

It has been like that since new generation x86 CPUs provide compatibility with the previous generation with more speed... Pushing an uncalculable number of tons of perfectly working hardware to the trash, most of the time to keep executing the same tasks with an updated software.

When the software performance/optimization declines, the hardware is accused of being too old. Even if hardware speed never declines with age. I understand we need new hardware for new usage; but not for a new version of Windows, Office or MacOS.

Just check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_and_Bill%27s_law

It goes the same with webpages load, library number and sizes... always a declining optimization with faster hardware.

> With a ban on advertising the biggest companies the ones we all know will benefit as no alternatives would be known.

Why? If I go to a hardware store and see a new power tool on the shelves that looks sturdy and costs less than the existing ones, why would I not buy it, or at least look for reviews on it?

Edit: this would be especially true in the longer term, as consumers start forgetting the marketing and there are no more "premium brands". In the near term after a ban, the older advertising still holds some sway, which of course creates a disadvantage for new brands. Still, a small price to pay for making the market more rational.

How is that even possible? A tablet at full power doesn't use that much. That's way above and beyond what you'd expect even a laptop(Or at least one I've owned recently) to do.

I don't even think something like a RasPi 4 physically can pull that much.

That’s pretty much my situation, I originally did electronic engineering and firmware but have switched professionally to backend software. Partly because of the pay, but mostly because the tooling and quality of most embedded software is so painful to work with. I’d rather have an overgrown dependency tree than a debugger which crashes more often than not.
If people can take out a loan to buy a Tesla or a Birkin bag, having no money to pay it back, because they think it makes them cool - they should be allowed to take out a loan to get an arts history degree. If anything, it will bring less harm to the environment.

Problem is horrible lags, and I mean just program working bad, not latency. I tried doing it with X11 now, and I gave up before I could even type "youtube" to address bar. Then I tried doing

and it wasn't better. I saw the new firefox window, but it stayed unresponsive.

And I bet part of the problem is due to Youtube (and browser generally) involving some non-trivial drawing technologies, rendering a video is not like showing a GTK interface.

Yeah, that's the point of discussion, bringing up things and ideas, original or otherwise. However, even bringing up what has been written in recent centuries is a no-go (a mild example, Huxley). The hope is that by stopping making these points, they will be forgotten

Google got it because some owners have their company registered to their own private address. It's the extra step of publicly exposing that info and pressuring you to take ownership of it otherwise it will be shown on Google Map an offer that currently is 98% of the market. Why do you think you have the option of blurring the view of your house in Google Maps?
> So the rule is that you can't use a computer you don't own (and are just renting in some capacity) to download your own videos? Or to download videos for "fair use" use cases?

One of the (many) reasons the DMCA is bad is because it makes using your existing rights harder. You've mentioned "fair use" here. But the submitted article is talking about:

> (2) No person shall manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide, or otherwise traffic in any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof, that—

> (A) is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title;

You can't use your right to fair use if the IP holder has implemented an access control, because the DMCA makes circumventing an access control unlawful.

The fact that the IP industry was able to implement a law that interferes with free speech shows how out of control they are.
Because now you never know which is which without a separate explanation. Might just as well call them A and B.
Does anyone know what happens after these hyperinflationary periods with the notes?
Are they made illegal tender?
For example I was curious about if you held onto a 10 million Ruble note when it was "worthless" until the point the Ruble recovered, is that note still legal tender and has your "investment" appreciated?
This is something I'm excitedly watching as well. It's one thing to put out a free rv32i microcontroller and quite another to put out not just one but a regular stream of cores that keep raising the performance bar. The classic CPU industry is still squeezing out 10%+ performance gains per generation every year or two. Unless these large organizations start collaborating to make these chips faster (...doubtful unfortunately), I suspect they'll fall behind and stay behind.
Well, they can. But that means we’d still be on geocities, or everyone is using the same Wordpress theme

Are you aware that advertising is explicitly defined in law, and already regulated, even in the USA?

In fact, the definition is extremely simple: if a company payed you (with money, free product, free trips etc) to say or show something about their product, that is advertising, regardless of what you are saying or of whether you believe it. No more, no less.

Note: some countries extend this to any display or mention of branding, whether payed for or not, at least in broadcast media. So, for example in my country, a TV show has to blur out brands on bottles of water or cars shown, or display an explicit "this is advertising" logo on the screen while the branding is shown.
Nevertheless we humans still think of things in terms of pots. The term "pension pot" comes to mind.

The reality is the market value of anything is influenced a great deal by human sentiment, as well as raw intrinsic properties of an underlying asset or the performance of a business.

Investors like to think they are actually "investing" in Google when they buy Alphabet shares even though not a single penny of their money is going to Google for the board to direct toward productive endeavours.

Even earned income in a savings account is an act of faith... in a system that we hope will continue to value an hour of our labour today to something close to what it will be a year from now. The savings account itself isn't a store of value, it's the nature of the labour market here that is actually the store of value.

I am one of those people that has been watching Valve's support of Proton and Steamdeck, and already familiar with Ubuntu for development... and now considering leaving Windows behind for good.

So far my experience with both development and gaming is good, however I find that in order to control the NVIDIA GPU (a GTX 1080) - I need software like GWE to set the power limit, and fan curve... and for whatever reason these do not work in Wayland.

I wish I could use Wayland though - I did notice the desktop feels smoother.

Can we switch now? Are there forks of GWE for Wayland? Or do we still need to wait months/years until these tools show up?

PS: if I upgraded my GTX 1080 to an AMD card, would I have apps to control power limit / fans on Wayland?
The sad part is that even despite the horrific bullshit that's become bundled with Windows since 10, Linux Desktop market share still hasn't changed.

At the end of the day, what the average person wants is an OS that works properly without requiring complex configuration, and the people making Linux distributions don't understand or respect this.

Another way to read the ad might be "we prefer people who are good at their job, rather than being good at IQ tests during the interview", which might be a positive interpretation.

I don't disagree with your points, I just have a different set of connotations attached to 'grit', I guess. For me, it's not necessarily an indicator that a place will work you harder, or expect overtime heroics, etc, it could just mean they have a preference for a certain personality type, which I have no issue with. But you could be right, if it's used as a pre-filter for people who put up with a toxic workplace.

Gatekeeper will still call out to Apple servers if the app doesn't have a stapled notarization ticket in it.

> my communication skills have been commented on by a number of different people I've worked with so my perspective on this is somewhat biased.

I want to first give you full credit for an honest and thoughtful debate, in the true spirit of HN. You have my respect.

Second, I fully believe that you have exceptional talent in communication.

That bias, however, is the issue. You do it naturally. You also point out that this is exceptional. What do we do with the 90% of the population who are not exceptionally gifted? Maybe they would benefit from a structured approach which trains them on the skills which come to you naturally?

Same for many other things. The best programmers I've known all were really good without the Uni education. And the structured education of a good masters program brought them to a new level.

Danger! sports analogy. You can't play in the majors without a great deal of natural talent. But the people with talent ANSD specialized training ("intentional practice", "good coaching", or however else you want to phrase "education") are going to dominate.
Precisely the opposite. Usually "grit" means they're willing to hire hustlers who are eager to pick up new skills than established entitled slackers.

What tool could you use in Wayland to move and resize windows around, but custom? Sort of like a simple autohotkey script?

Agreed. I went through the effort of setting it up back when Synapse was the only option. It was cool and my technical friends had some fun tinkering with it but after a couple of weeks we found we weren't using it as our primary communication system and stepped away from it.
