>Display hardware for mobile SoCs often had no or poor x11 drivers during the early days of Android.

How is creating an entirely new SurfaceFlinger a solution to the lack of x11 drivers, logically? There could no drivers for SurfaceFlinger either, if it didn't even exist yet.

>x11 drivers are not easy to write,

I can't believe that's harder than redoing what X11 does from the ground up.

>Limited capability mobile devices really don't need to run a distributed systems protocol that outputs to screens as a side effect, regardless of how cool distributed systems are.

I don't see what the word "limited" has to do with anything here since system requirements of Android are greater than that of the desktop GNU/Linux. When a keyboard app eats away a hundred MBs, any overhead introduced by X11 is outright negligible.

And then even if X11 was so unsuitable that they just HAD to reinvent something, they could've done what Wayland is doing - reinvent it but that's it, don't reinvent the rest of the system, and keep it compatible with the existing ecosystem.

I get why Elon wants people to work until 1am, but what's in it for the employees? Why work 2x as hard and 2x as long and get 2x shit done if you're not getting paid 2x as much?

I agree, I wouldn't stay till 1am for anybody... but if the world's richest man just bought the company I worked for, then personally came to work with us through the night... I would definitely consider it (also not an Elon fan btw)
I've comported myself quite well in this thread, and elsewhere.

Please don't generalize about people because they hold different opinions than you. Just because someone is a socialist does not make them a cudgel wielding censor, just like someone being a republican does not make them a fascist.

"Latinx" is a germanic language construction grafted onto a Latin-based word. It makes no sense, and is non-pronounceable in Spanish. "Latine" is, perhaps, pronounceable, but is a confusing suffix. My recommendation is to drop this silliness. Germanic languages (English is one) and Romantic languages (like Spanish, French etc) have rules and trying to bleed rules from one into the other leads to the hilarity that you describe in your comment.

(I speak conversational German, a little Spanish, native English)

1) your car will lose max range over it's service life.

2) charging to max range is bad for the battery

3) the rated range isn't the actual range in real life

4) you want to drive 10mph faster

5) cold is hard on EVs

6) wind

7) less availability of charging

8) you don't take it down to 0 miles

All of a sudden, a 400 mile range car is 280 or worse in effective distance.
You disagree that a neologism is different from changing the definition of an existing word? Please elaborate on how those two things are not distinguishable.

I'm no expert but I think the valuation of Twitter was based on how big they are in every sense: Have big buildings, have many employees, have many users, many readers.

Do you actually need thousands of people to run a blog engine? How does the website continue to work with so few employees left? Am I wrong to think the right person could write and run a blog service alone?? If we (like Musk) look at everything wechat does Twitter is rather silly. Specially in the US coders should be able to do the thinking for a company. It was not on its way to become a super-app, it took 2 years to do an edit button? He just wants people who can chop wood.

If he turns out to be right only time will tell. He made success from things that don't work often enough. We should expect that to be plan B?

Many places in North America use electric for almost everything - heating, cooling, hot water. 240V 100A used to be common (24kW) but people would run up against that limit, so most new houses have been 200A for a while (48kW). I don't know where that person is that a 400A service is the most common, but I've never seen it outside of wasteful mcmansions (4000+ sqft with associated excessive heating and cooling requirements, hot tub, sauna, heated pool, every room gets a 20A breaker or two, etc.)
Its wild how many people believe this dumb "pull up of your sleeves" photo op bullshit. Musk doesn't even have a B.S., dude couldn't understand how to build a barn door much more something like Twitter.
My sense is that it'll be a lot worse, Y2K was only a data format issue, whereas 2038 issue has to do more with underlying hardware. It really all depends, and we'll see. Certainly, many old software will stop working in 2038.
I don't have anything to add except this is an awesome thread. One of the best I've read.

If only it were so simple. We make adjustments for people with all manner of neuroatypical behaviors. While it may feel like we should be able to just "fix" a mental health issue, sometimes it's not so simple.

I'd prefer to live in a world where we support people in finding coping skills to work through their own anxieties AND we recognized some humans will always be outliers who would benefit from some affordances. We can do both.

"Improve" how? And for whom? You have 400,000 people wanting to see a Taylor Swift concert each night in a venue that seats 80,000 (or whatever the actual numbers are). Lots of fans are going to be disappointed, shut out, denied access under any plan you implement or any laws you pass. Further, denying market forces to dictate prices results in an economic loss to Ms. Swift. You can twist "the market" all you want but you can't make everyone happy.

> Which makes sense since they have Western settings; if you're in a "pirate city" like Limsa in FFXIV there's no way to sound "piratey" in Japanese.

Japan has a long native tradition of piracy. They're most of the reason China preferred to ship goods over inland canals instead of along the shore.

A historian could probably do a good job coming up with linguistic features in Japanese associated with their historical pirates, but I assume nobody would understand what was meant.

But that's more of a fact about modern Western pop culture (pirates are their own genre!) than about piracy as a historical phenomenon. It's not a Western thing, any more than highway robbery is a Western thing.

To summarize this in a metaphor:

Nix 'isolates' packages by ensuring that they do not know where to look for each other, rather than ensuring that they cannot possibly see each other.

In addition to the example given by the parent poster, here are some other steps taken towards that end in the Nix ecosystem:

Nix-built programs look for their libs, they don't see libs other than what they were built with because each package has its own little FHS-shaped tree, which it thinks of in the way a 'normal' package might think of as 'the system'— that thing which has a `/usr/lib` in which to find libraries and a `/etc` in which to find config files and a `/usr/share` in which to find assets, etc.

In addition to linking against hardcoded full paths to dependencies, outlined above, maintainers also take steps to ensure that, e.g., external programs referenced in shell scripts in a Nix package also refer to full paths into the Nix store.
It's fairly common, actually, to have completely optional hackathons. I guess it would depend on the social circles you hang around, or if you falsely believe that there is actually an "or else" consequence.

Also anonymous functions in programming languages didn't historically always or even usually have lexical scope (= be closures).

Eg Lisp had lambda expressions for a long time (20 years? 30 years?) before lexical scoping made it in. Python also had its lambda and nested functions for a long time before lexical scopes came to the language. The namesake, lambda calculus, doesn't have it (I think?).
"Woman" is indeed a cultural category, but it's a category based on biology. If you wish to bleed some new ideology into this category space, you are going to find that people will be resistant to the redefining of language. While things may not be binary, they are certainly bimodal.
I suspect that what happens is that folks like me tend to get very tired. I'm happy to have good faith discussions all day, but in places like HN it can be difficult to maintain a conversation with all the anger directed at me.

Inevitably, patience wears thin and comments get more bitter, and the polarization continues.

I'm sure the reverse happens for folks who disagree with me. They get tired of everyone just assuming they are a bigot, and start just assuming that's what's coming from the other side.

I wish there were more forums to have small, moderated chats where anyone who makes sweeping generalizations about their opponents ("you lefties always..." "All your right wingers...") were clipped out.

It's just what you're used to. Anyone can make up some pseudo-scientific "cognitive" gobbledygook ("fewer words mean less language processing cognitive overhead"), but it really is just a matter of "what you're used to".
This is interesting because in European 230V sockets a 2kW power is safe and well under rated maximum of ~3kW. So if you park your car at around 7pm and leave at 7am you get 24kWh charge from a simple standard socket. It could deliver another 12kWh, if you have a charger that can be configured to go higher and you know you won't overheat any cables or connections along the way.

Some houses have the red plug, a three phase plug which can do 11kW continuous, around 7kW sustained and very safe.

No, I disagree that people understand there are two definitions in common use. The parent said that no one disagrees that people use the word in that way. I'd argue that several people in this thread have done so implicitly or explicitly by saying something to the effect of, "man means X and only X".
This is the argument that I circle back to over and over again as an adopted child, and like with your comment, people mostly choose not to engage with it or just flatly assert “that’s different and you know it.”

But it’s not different. All of the same arguments apply. One could argue that “father” has a deep-rooted, unambiguous, biological meaning. One could argue that the use of “father” to describe an adoptive guardian is distorting this fundamental biological truth. One could assert their right to never refer to your adoptive guardian as your “father” because it’s just untrue.

But nobody does that because obviously that would be extremely hurtful and rude to adopted children and adoptive parents.

I have never once seen a screed like “Their birth certificate might say you’re their father, and you might play catch with them and celebrate Father’s Day, but at the end of the day, that doesn’t change the fact that at the genetic level, this child is simply not yours. They are someone else’s.”

Few people will see an adoptive mother at a class for new mothers and say “This is really uncomfortable for me. Why is she here? She did not give birth to this child. She’s not even lactating at all. What made her choose to spend her time hanging around us real mothers? I’d rather be with a group of only birth-giving mothers. I would feel safer sharing my experiences.”

Perhaps, although I really don’t think age has anything to do with it.

Also, WRT Shadow/Colossus, I was probably about 11 when it was originally released, so I do feel like it’s a game for 10-up’s coincidentally. But also part of what makes S/C so great is its minimalism, eg apparent lack of dialog besides the ceiling telling you where to go next.

Forth is just not very easily optimized - it has a lot of indirect jumps that do not play well with today's instruction pipelines.

There are a few optimizing forth compilers, but I never have seen compelling evidence that they would be faster than an optimized c compiler.

Forth also has seen comparatively little work lately - only a small number of people use it (for better or worse). Micropython might be eating Forth's lunch on many embedded systems that have a lot more memory/ resources now.

There is a clear biological definition of the sexes (down to the genetic level if you want). Rather than changing definitions in language, wouldn’t it make more sense to add to our current definitions and language to accommodate the social flavours of sexuality?

A more adaptive definition of gender might be more suitable: social gender, body gender and biological gender.

E.g. bisexual trans women.
Can any HNers vouch for this add-on? Is there any compromise for privacy?
