a dog food company, who I suspect has an incentive to tell owners that the veg in the dog food is 'natural'.

I suspect if dogs do eat vegetables in the wild, it's only if they can't get enough meat, since their domestication has made them less good hunters. Their wild counterparts, grey wolves, don't seem to ever eat vegetation (except when sick).
The loans didn't cost nothing, and capital requirements were raised massively which severely dragged on the profitability of US banks. You can see this because European banks didn't face the same requirements and now after a period of making hay are looking very shaky, particular Credit Suisse.
Exactly; the difference is in scope, the `item` in the range is scoped to the enclosing block, the `item` inside of the block is loop-block-scoped, shadowing the parent block.

That said, it looks and feels dirty and buggy and it's a known workaround for a Go issue, so I'm glad they're at least talking about fixing it.
Even better, "none to independently derive". Patents must be non-obvious. I would take independent invention as evidence that the patent should never have been granted in the first place.
> Whereas, on Linux Wayland, if you want to support GNOME

If you want to support GNOME, you use GTK or use a library that interfaces with GTK.

The binary compatibility with other desktops is just a "nice thing" to have, but GNOME really doesn't care for apps not made for GNOME.

There was a project where Qt would interface with GTK and let GTK handle its window management (similar to macOS/Windows), rather than dealing directly to the display server, but I think its dead.
> the OS/2 Warp release, which was, I agree, truly abysmally marketed (that logo!!)

There was a reason, but not a good reason.

OS/2 used a lot of Star Trek code names. IBM forgot to get permission from the Star Trek IP owners before using "Warp" in marketing:

Most of the best VR experiences I've had were either uncomfortable to me to begin with, or are uncomfortable to many first time and casual users, judging from reviews.

If there was a virtual ski resort and I could feel like the air around me was cold, I would want to!

I'm not saying that no VR experiences can work and be more casual or less immersive (indeed there are some great ones that are just that), but to me the whole point of VR is about going to that next level of immersion and presence.

> In reality, most people would love a magic way to pick up objects from a distance

Many (maybe even most) good VR games have this. Half Life Alyx does it beautifully.

To respond to some points in the article:

> "If you can’t do something in VR because of a limited range of motion in real life, I think that you have failed as a VR developer."

This is nonsensical. Beat Saber would be pointless if you didn't have to wave your arms around, move, dodge. Games with shooting mechanics take on a whole new dimension when you're actually wielding a (virtual) gun with your hands and arms and when you can sidestep, duck, etc. They also allow you to do things (like teleport, jetpack, etc.) that you can't do in reality, but they'd be much worse if they didn't also force you to move (and be limited by your mobility) and use that as part of the control scheme and immersion.

What this statement really says to me is "I'm only interested in VR experiences where I don't need to move" not "you've failed as a VR developer".

> "Some people argue that VR should be a totally immersive experience. You look down, you see your hands, you move your hands around, and so on. Your view is restricted to your neck’s range of motion. While that’s cool, does that kind of immersion trump user experience?"

Yes, totally, in some cases. Often, that kind of immersion is the user experience.

Honestly, I think it's fine to say you want an app for watching TV in VR that's just a big floating screen and works great lying down. Or to criticise the control panel in BigScreen because it could be more usable from a reclined position in which the app otherwise still totally works anyway — that's totally valid feedback.

But to claim that these preferences are the most important thing about VR and that developers should prioritise apps and games for the lazy and casual user with those preferences over pushing the boundaries of the medium is a bit much.
It's obvious sabotage. Don't ever use GNOME, don't use GNOME software, don't contribute to GNOME projects, don't go to their conferences and don't ever give them money.
I'm talking about using the word silly to describe someone else's provided identity because that was the context given.

If you want to talk about making some other comment on someone's provided identity, well, I'm still going to advise you not to do that. It's just not your business. There's very few contexts where it's going to be appreciated. What are these comments that you feel you must share?

> Further the "no business in" applies to someone's (self identified) race.

Lacking a shared identity and commenting on that identity does lessen your social pretext to comment on it. But no, it's not exclusively a race thing. It's moreso that it is their personal identity. It's not yours. And any unsolicited commentary on it is likely to be taken as adverse. It's not cool to tell someone how to be Black just because you're Black yourself. Or any other identity.

I'm saying, very plainly, that doing shit like this will make people think you're an asshole. And you're asking why can't you do it. And that's just not a valid question. You can do it. You ought not to. Why? Because it will make people think you're an asshole.

If you want to "foster a discussion" on an identity issue, that's different. But it begins with asking questions, or asking for feedback on ideas. Not with challenging their perceptions or asserting your own.
> It does feel like Go is relearning lessons of other languages quite often.

A common sentiment when Go was unveiled was that its designers had ignored the 35-odd years of language research and experience since C.
You can kind of do that by creating your own subclass, right?
Ideally yeah, but unfortunately very few people work in ideal circumstances.
Working on someone else's ideas is never going to be as much fun as working on your own.

There also is the perspective of maturity and growing older, changing jobs a few times where you start to see the same patterns at different organizations, similar personalities, similar systems, and industry trends that start repeating. Maybe you get disillusioned, but maybe you realize you love the craft of creating things and solving problems and its nice to be paid really well to do that.

And maybe, like me, you want to go build your own thing but never get anything off the ground. Family, career, hobbies, etc. are important. Has external motivation (a company asking you to do X) conditioned me too much to be able to define a my own path forward? Not sure how to get out of that without some financial independence type of windfall.
1. I didn't mention Qatar...

2. UAE is generally aligned with KSA on many/most issues, not just Yemen. As for Yemen - IIANM, they back the "Southern Transitional Council", which holds a large part of the country's territory including Aden.

3. KSA sent tanks into Bahrain when things got out of hand, and backs the kingdom financially and militarily as necessary. It has also apparently been involved in inwards population transfer to alter the demographic balance for better average subservience. So, it's technically not an occupation, but maintaining a monarchy opposed by the population is pretty close.

4. Some international cooperation could lead to a global weapons embargo on KSA. Of course, the US is not much for international cooperation these days, but still.

5. Don't remember the Houthis having much sway over US and Saudi air and naval forces in the region, which would be necessary for a naval blockade.

6. Not really + it's fine if a lot of it ends up in the Houthi-controlled areas - a lot of the population is there after all, and they're the side which is most besieged, right?

7. Oh, people have grievances alright. You just gave one reason yourself: Sunni domination. I'm sure it's more complicated than that. Yemen has had 33 years under the control of the same president, with KSA support, which given the nature of that regime - I'm sure has not been a lot of fun for the population. Poverty and corruption have apparently been plaguing Yemen for a long while now. As for "Iranian support and funding" - I would not be surprised if the extent of it are overblown. At least early in the civil war (2015), even the US NSC acknowledged that "It remains our assessment that Iran does not exert command and control over the Houthis in Yemen" (quoted in Wikipedia).

8. No number 8?

9. You seem to be squarely on the KSA side of things. Do you have evidence to back up the claim that the North-Western/Houthi rebel movement is planning on making Yemen a Shia theocracy? Plus, the Houthis are not even from the same religious current as the Iranians, and don't recognize the Twelve divinely-chosen Imams etc.

> Like it or not, Iran is just as bad as Saudi Arabia.

Not remotely. Saudi Arabia is an order of magnitude worse both internally and externally. I believe your view is colored by how the US paints Iran, which is motivated first and foremost by the fact that Iran freed itself from US imperial control with the 1979 revolution. Yes, the post-1979 Iranian government is a semi-democratic theocracy, militaristic and quite repressive - but that's still nowhere near the extremely warped, corrupt monarchy of the KSA.

> Saudi Arabia is still a better ally

Ah, so I've wasted this whole reply, since your perspective is that of the USA. Yeah, well, I guess it is a better ally for you - because it's been an effective force in suppressing liberation struggles in the region, and a decent trading partner. It's no "ally" of the people of the region, though.
Yuck. Just lost a lot of respect for Google.

Blender is not using GTK for that so those things have nothing to do with each other.
You're a binge drinker already. The next thing is a slow slide into everyday drinking, then you'll "discover" vodka and eventually die a slow miserable death.
Is it real hunger or a false hunger feeling? I ask that because I've had issues with feeling hungry at night even though I ate a full dinner a few hours before, then getting up and eating cereal.

I've found that eating less overall can reduce this issue. I assume the stomach and/or mind is adjusting based on food availability.

Having a very good reason not to sucummb to the hunger pains is helpful as well, such as family, sport, etc. I know when I wrestled in high school the feeling of some level of hunger between meals became to be a positive feelings.
I think you may be trying to draw a technical distinction which misses the point of what people mean by “client-side decorations” and “server-side decorations”.

Win32 has always defaulted to server-side decorations, by which we mean that the window manager controls the rendering, appearance and functionality of the title bar. Maybe this is actually run in client space via user32.dll or whatever as part of the OS-managed event loop, but functionally your app gets told “here, have a client area” (and isn’t that name telling!) and works inside that and completely ignores the remainder of the window area, and the window decorations implementation is provided by the window manager, so that theme changes (ancient Classic, XP Luna, recent Classic, Aero Glass, Modern, colours within each, &c. &c.) immediately apply globally.

This is what people mean by server-side decorations. They mean what is still the default under Win32 and I presume macOS, even if on both platforms it’s not the recommended style any more for most apps.

But it’s also worth noting that the recommended client-side decorations style on Win32 at least (don’t know much about macOS) is still guided by window manager stylistic conventions, including theme colours where possible.

Wayland's biggest disadvantage is that I can't use my computer as a heater anymore. With X11, I had that feature everytime I would try connecting a second screen to my HiDPI laptop.

Honestly though I don't get the Wayland hate. It's been stable to use and a joy to configure. X11 survives because of legacy and inertia, and I haven't looked back one second since the ~3 years I made the switch to Wayland/Sway.
It is well past time to stop using passwords. We should be using TLS client certs (as in mutual TLS aka mTLS) or WebAuthn passkeys already. I prefer certs because they don't require support in the web application, but they have a terrible UI and browsers seem to be making that worse, so WebAuthn it is, I just wish WebAuthn would have a standardised HTTP header or TLS extension so it would be usable without JavaScript, currently every website has to implement their own login protocol in JavaScript.

Alcohol promises a great time. Alcohol delivers a hangover and regrets.

I drink alcohol at least 2 or 3 times a week. I can't remember the last time I had a hangover. I just don't drink an excessive amount.

Junk food promises a great time. Junk food delivers poor health and regrets.

I eat junk food a few times every month. I'm above average on most health metrics.

Going to the gym promises hardship and struggle. It delivers health. I've never once regretted it.

I don't go to the gym. I do lead a reasonably active lifestyle though.

Reading a book promises struggling and boredom. It delivers wisdom and inspiration. I've never once regretted it.

I give up on books that aren't interesting within the first chapter. There are lots of books I regret wasting time on.

There's no simple 'rules' or 'logic' to having a fun lifestyle that means you get the most out of your time on Earth. You can be fit, healthy, and enjoy things while drinking, eating some junk, and never going to the gym. Life is made up of many, many variables, and what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for the next person.

Do your own thing. Figure out your own life. Let others figure out theirs.
Are those two events connected? They both happened in the same decade and received some press. That's all I can come up with. And both things you mention -- LGBT rights and class consciousness -- have been around for a while.

> also a single and unified UI toolkit

> Whereas, on Linux Wayland, if you want to support GNOME, _you_ have to care about decorations, or you have no titlebar nor X button

And you have basically two UI toolkits for linux that also does everything for you without caring about it, how is that different? Also, if you do decide against using said frameworks, you also have to care about accessibility and a million other things that you weren’t going to do either way let’s be honest, so I don’t know, it seems to be a non-issue to me.

Use libraries instead of reimplementing everything from scratch.
Yeah Apple site is borderline unusable at times. To much emphasis on looks and design at the cost of sane usability
climbing a mountain might be completely unmemorable for one person and going to a party could be that thing to others. I do not know anyone who ever brings up their friend who climbed a mountain (and I know a handful of people who do) but I can recall many stories of people at parties doing insert wacky memorable activity.
Doesn't look like it totally worked, based on that last image. Pretty good though. I wonder if it'll be possible to come up with something that generalizes to arbitrary models.
It's a separate event loop from your application.

Potential is the key word there; RSC has done his homework, actually made the change, ran thousands of test cases and... the impact was minimal. The net effect was that existing implementation bugs were discovered and fixed; only TWO cases were found that caused an issue, and the fix was trivial.

With that in mind, while it's technically a backwards-incompatible change, I'd not go as far as call it a breaking change, since it was a net positive to make the change.

C# did it 10 years ago and it did not cause any significant problems in the community, mainly gratitude (as the C# guy in the replies mentions).

Here is the essay I wrote when I decided to stop drinking “forever”: https://taylor.town/essays/1000-weekends
I submitted the article about a week ago, because HN had just discovered Blue Lion and crashed Arca Noae's server.

A commenter asked for an example of someone, anyone, still using OS/2 in production. I remembered this story and offered it as an answer of someone using it as recently as 3Y ago.

So I posted it as a top-level story as well.

I guess HN re-upped it and it caught on.

But yes, I think that for millennial techies, this is something that came and went before they were in the industry, so for them, it is forgotten tech that they've probably never seen.
Knowing the character of your data is priceless. The only time I was able to throughly beat GCC with optimizations is when I knew that most 32-bit values being calculated upon are actually fairly small (in tens of thousands) and that I could use that to my advantage.

> What if we just had legalization without taxation?

I'm pretty sure that's what we generally refer to as decriminalization. (lol)

> Also if you think people get clean in the country side that would suggest to me you’ve never spent time outside of these urban areas... (rest of comment redacted)

Alright, so... yes I have actually. And we had one of the rehab centers near our town, and while there was still some heavy drug use by some people in said town, it was never anything close to similar as what would be found in more urban centers. Furthermore, those people had to go to the city to get those drugs, which was my entire point. If you can't even get the drugs, cause you can't even get to the city, then you have to somehow get friendly with those people that everyone knows you shouldn't be hanging out with.

My condolences for your struggles friend, but just because you struggled with a situation that many others find to be a center of peace and comfort for themselves doesn't mean that I am wrong. It just means that my approach wouldn't work for you, possibly. Sad as it may seem, sometimes loved ones are the problem. They can be quite enabling, when they should be disabling. And it's those familiar social and cultural circles you bring up that are also sometimes part of why the harm exists to begin with. For some at least.

So perhaps my solution doesn't work 100% for everyone, but you are not the rule here either. You are an exception to it, in my books.

Finally, the country side is only lonely if you are the type to never interact with other country bumpkins. If that's you, then I am sorry, but that's more of a you problem... Try hanging out with some random people once in a while? Go to a bar and shoot some pool and meet some folk? I dunno, but staying at home itself only will definitely drive anyone nuts. I only suggest it for the severely addicted at all, because they can't really help themselves in regard to not falling back into old bad habits.

But again, there are no 100% fix all solutions. There will always be caveats, like yourself.
To a degree you might be able to substitute one addiction for a healthier one. Try espresso drinking and making. A powerful shot of ristresso or espresso can give a whiskey like beverage experience (but it doesn't have to)
Not too well.

Are you saying the Western corporatocratic model is going all that much better for... I was going to say, its citizens, but given that you seem to be championing the economics-over-politics perspective, for its consumerist-cattle-slash-proletariat?

The main (or only?) difference seems to be that our Masters are capitalist robber barons in stead of their communist political apparatchik ones. Yi-fucking-ppie.
AA. it's the only thing that worked for me. i needed to be around people that supported me , not influenced or pressured me. i was lucky to find the right home group and the right people in the program. they tell you not to judge people when you come in, but i'm sorry, do that. there are good people in the program but they are hard to find. find them and your chances of success increase. i did that by going to _alot_ of different meetings at different places and meeting a ton of people. in the end, i don't even think about drinking and i find i can handle things alot better in my life.
