That’s more than a bit of a misrepresentation. In practice, people with NVIDIA cards could run Xorg, and could not run Wayland compositors. You can use whatever wordplay you want to pretend otherwise, but Wayland absolutely did not support all the hardware that Xorg on Linux supported.
oh, yeah. That was a bonehead move on the part of Digg. I was happy with it until that disasterous change.

It reminds me of a bar I used to go to in San Francisco called The Rat and the Raven. There was a bartender there named Storm Large and she was great. This was a long time ago. It was packed every single day. People from all walks of life went there - from bikers to investment bankers.

Then it was bought out. Instead of leaving it alone, they decided they could make it better. They changed it to some kind of upscale thing. Put nice floors down, tables, nice railings.

I went in every once in a while and it was crickets on the weekends. Nobody there ever.

If one goes in there in the due diligence phase of checking it out, and it is packed every night, why fuck with a good thing?

Both do. A single, isolated Chinese character may have multiple unrelated meanings with some of them having an entirely unrelated pronunciation. It is, in fact, ubiquitous.

The idea is that each honzi has exactly one meaning is a misconception.

With respect to ligatures, if by that you mean the length of the same word across different Sinitic languages, that depends on the specific language and its phonology. Mandarin, for instance, has lost a large number of finals over the course of its evolution which has resulted in words generally being longer and requiring extra syllables to resolve the phonetic ambiguity. The Sinitic languages that have retained more finals (and sounds in general) tend to have more of shorter words. Cantonese is one of them albeit not the only one.

Eratosthenes's method basically relied on knowing the distance between two cities and the differ in the elevation of the Sun at those two cities. When he measured the change in elevation, he expressed it as "1/50th the circumference of a circle," which works out to be 7.2 degrees, whereas the true change in elevation is 7.5 degrees.

He also assumed that the southern city (Smyrna) was exactly on the Tropic of Cancer. In fact it's a little north of it, but this assumption partially compensated for using too small a change in elevation. Then at another point he rounded up his answer to get a number that was divisible by 360 which further compensated for the original error and he ended up with a final result that was surprisingly good.
I don’t know but I’ve noticed too. For me it’s a feature, I’m invisible to companies that use shitty ATS software where I likely would enjoy working anyway.
Ancient Greek has two negation particles:

>Ou is the negative adverb for facts and statements, negating both single words and sentences. Mê is the negative used in prohibitions and expressions of doubt meaning "not" and "no." As ou negates fact and statement; mê rejects, οu denies; mê is relative, ou absolute; mê subjective, ou objective.

The particles are found in the two words for "nothing" you mentioned, ouden/meden. Meden is usually found in imperatives, oaths, i.e. something you want to never happen, while ouden simply states that something never happens.

My partner is a game designer and works mainly in Unreal Engine. I was blown away by the power of the visual scripting languages, being able to write complicated procedures with dragging and dropping blocks. Despite not having prior programming experience, she was able to race through learning it and quickly hit walls where she wanted to do more. She learned C++ and Unreals APIs but still encountered walls. It’s interesting because the engine sets up the developer(s) to work on this happy path and all multiplayer frameworks and infrastructure is built in.

My question is, in a age of the game engine duopoly, what needs to be done to enact these asks? Some of them run antithetical to the business model of these engines. Is there an open source-y game engine that she should be learning?

Not to my knowledge. Apparently, according to https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/NoThreading, dynamic scope makes it devilishly difficult to implement os-level threading. It is, apparently, possible to automatically translate elisp into a lexically scoped lisp dialect, and rebuilt emacs on that foundation, but, again, to my knowledge, nobody's done that. And, there are occasional mutterings about making a new, natively multithreaded emacs, but nothing's ever made it into the GNU emacs repo, AFAIK.

It does have process-based concurrency, which is basically where you spawn off a whole new emacs, then run your code within that. I've never used it, so I don't know how it works, other than the obvious disadvantage of having a large startup time and potentially memory use to start up another instance of emacs.

Usually the things you state aren't even grounds for a motion to dismiss, but grounds for an acquittal at trial. That's where you find out if the evidence is really insufficient. By the time you end up in court you have probably been indicted by a grand jury and the court deems that brief hearing to be good enough to survive pretrial attacks on the weight of the evidence and requires all other attacks to be made at trial.

Generally I would think the biggest ground for pretrial dismissal is exclusion of evidence so necessary to the prosecution that they have no possible case. Usually based on an illegal search, illegal seizure or compelled statement made in custody.

Pretrial dismissal of criminal cases is still a fairly rare bird and most will still end in a plea deal. Even when you have good grounds for a dismissal it often isn't tested in court and is simply used to plead the charges down to something the defendant can swallow and get on with his life, especially if they already have a criminal record.

> which I believe still uses a single syllable for most words

Not sure about "most" (depends on the sample distribution I suppose), but single syllable (i.e. character) words are used much more often relative to Mandarin.

So in general you're probably right. Not sure whether that is a cause of more strict adherence to tones in songs though. It could be alternatively argued that the more complex syllable (due to more tones among other things) in Cantonese allowed it to retain single syllable words without having to add extra syllables to clarify any ambiguities.
Some of us would argue that the absolutely endless stream of anime rape simulators on Steam have rendered it nigh useless for finding good new content.

Big corporations take risks with their customers lives all the time. There's an entire area study dedicated to calculating how many dollars people are "worth" when making such risk calculations.

Virtually nothing is risk free. Anything that involves anything you ingest, anything that can catch fire, anything that involves driving, and anything that involves mains voltage can and does kill "customers". Virtually nothing of import done at an industrial scale has a perfect safety record.

Consider power generation: Wind mills kill people. Workmen fall off them all the time. They catch fire while people are in them, and they burn to death: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1q0sca/last_week_two_...

Solar panels kill people: again, workmen fall off roofs while installing them and break their necks.

Should we stop all progress on green energy because it is totally unacceptable for any corporation to ever risk anyone's life, ever? Is that a net benefit? Should endless studies be done, for centuries if need be, to make sure no windmill ever kills a worker, ever again?

Or should we grow up and weigh the pros and cons?
That threw me for a loop when I realized the last time I used FreeBSD was in the 4.x days - on a desktop, no less. That was actually something of a glory period, at least for the hardware I had at the time... Soundblaster OSS drivers that actually did hardware mixing, the proprietary Nvidia driver that actually gave working 3D acceleration on the card I had at the time (Geforce 2 GTS maybe?) - this was at least a year or two before that driver was released for Linux. I think it even had working Java.

It was such a breath of fresh air compared to Linux at the time because it was a coherent, engineered, documented system. When you didn't always have reliable internet (and at least for me, even when I did have it was something like 128K DSL), it was a huge deal to have well written man pages, where as on the linux half the time time the man page woud just tell you to scream into the void, err, run gnu info.

This was still in the period when the GPL scared off corps.
A wikipedia entry with a side by side comparison would seem appropriate at this stage
The idea of a "job market" gives a good example of why you can't deduce individual outcomes from aggregate statistics. Individual anecdotes don't give others any useful information. By analogy, looking at aggregate life expectancies doesn't help me predict how long I will live, nor does asking my 96-year-old grandmother how she lived so long.

In the "job market" people compete for a limited number of desirable jobs. That will get most fierce at the low end, because of more competition. Someone with rare and valuable skills will not experience the same kind of competition for jobs as someone with a few years experience with common tools and techniques. After the layoffs, which affected people by definition dispensable for one reason or another, those same people have to compete with many others at their same relatively low skill/experience level. Supply and demand ensure lower offers/salaries and a more fickle and selective attitude from employers.

If you got scooped up in the rampant over-hiring during the last decade and now have fallen victim to mismanagement and pandering to financiers, sorry. You can find jobs today, but look away from the tech/FAANG companies. I have always fallen back on enterprise logistics when tech bubbles burst. Banking, health care, retail all offer opportunities for programming and related fields, but don't expect foosball and beer and free dog care.

Even 100.000.000 isnt all songs. There is still loads of music missing, with changes hppening every now and then as labels pulls specific band lineups not covered by their agreements with Spotify.

There is nothing by eg The Blues Brothers outside the two movies and their debut album. Nothing by Spocks Beard prior to Neal Morse leaving the band. Other albums are stripped of specific songs because a guest artist wasnt part of the overall deal.

There are probably countless other examples as well, and as artists are moving away from physical media completely I fear that entire artist will disappear in the future because they happened to be pulled from streaming services.

I guess people (like me -- or maybe just me) are after the macOS-like way of 150% scaling on a 4k display, which uses a 5k buffer with 200% scaling, then scales down the entire image to fit the screen.

This results in a 2560×1440 effective resolution with a bit of blurriness that is acceptable, compared to "native 200%" scaling that makes the controls a bit too large to my liking, or "native 150%" scaling that is hidden behind some "trust me, you don't want to see this" language/button in GNOME.

Things do seem to be slower when it is switched on, which is not the case with the 200% and 100% settings.

There was a post on HN recently about the demise of speech recognition: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35800935

That said, I still think your post raises some excellent points. To refine it, how about an online learning app that plays a sound or video clip from a national news TV or radio program. (Usually, the speakers have perfect pronunciation.) You repeat the words; the online app records it; then, it shows your tones/pitch/accent versus the native speaker. I think that could be incredibly useful. My point: Speech reco is an impossibly hard problem (currently) due to infinitely broad context in spoken languages. My idea would have "perfect context", so speech reco could really work.

When I was learning tones for a while, I used to record myself, then replay it. It's amazing to hear the difference between what you think you sound like and what you really sound like. An online app could help to fine tune your pronunciation very quickly.
Yeah... I was kind a keeping an eye on the project until I realized that they want to sell you a production license to actually use it.
Tangential fact - while, as you described, most popular songs in Cantonese have tones matching the melody (usually the melody is written first, then lyrics are filled in), many songs from Christian churches don't follow this practice. (I don't know why, maybe a lack of lyricists for translation from English/Latin to Cantonese during earlier years?)

So, in Hong Kong, when somebody writes a song/lyric that doesn't quite have matching tones, we ask "which church are you from?" to make fun of it.

As I mentioned, nvidia didn’t support Linux. That’s an objective fact, the kernel has an abstraction that allows managing buffers independently from the actual drivers. This was for a long time not supported by nvidia proprietary drivers, as they went their own way implementing a different abstraction.

Xorg was deemed a big enough target that nvidia hacked the driver so that it could be binary patched to make better use of their proprietary drivers, but that was never the proper way of the kernel.

Wayland has nothing to do with it, it builds on standard linux kernel systems.
