Things that I can't get to work on Wayland:

* Getting the display scale just right. I have a 3k by 2k laptop screen. 1x is too small and 2x is too big.

* Getting the mouse cursor to be drawn at a consistent size. Now the size varies when you move it across windows which is unacceptable.

Am I missing something? Both of these seem like basic issues that someone must have figured out a solution to.

I guess that raises an interesting point. The implementations are so divergent that there are probably a lot of very different crashing bugs in all the various pieces that can make a Wayland desktop. As opposed to Xorg, where bugs can be fixed in a single tree.

I crash constantly on Wayland and I can't talk about it or get help to fix it, because like all Linux problems, it all comes back to somehow being my fault, as all Linux issues are the fault of the user.

"Moving four week average using only calendar weeks with complete data"

"Moving four week average, but I actually mean week-to-date total as of today"

And these are just a few of the variations I have had to implement recently. I have no reason to expect things to end up one way or the other, but it would sure suck if the English SDK only correctly implements a subset of these.

The lack of vacuum is the first thing that jumped out at me, (besides the material choice to begin with), anybody that has done carbon fiber work and that has done this professionally knows the amount of air that is trapped in a structure this size has to be significant. The second was that one some of the photos there are screws visible that go straight into the carbon fiber part of the hull. If the hull was 5" that means that at least 1.5 or so of that would already be compromised.

It looks like we're in full agreement on their liability, I expect OceanGate to come up bankrupt at the first sign of trouble (and we're well past that) so my guess is that the bigger guns will be aimed at Spencer, especially because (1) they are a player and likely have some money and (2) they effectively designed the craft, even if it was on faulty instructions. The number of dives to significant depth on that hull is likely very low. Low single digits.

Thank you for the elaborate answer. And super nice company you have.
Ah, "Hyphens (-) can be inserted into symbol strings." If you don't like 'em, don't use 'em.

And the only point of these encodings is to be more human-palatable than base64. If you take that goal out of the equation, just use base64, it's better (denser, more readily supported everywhere). Various base32's and base58 exist because base64 was not human friendly enough.
This is the first legitimate use of chatGPT that I’ve heard of.
The easiest way to win this war is if an adblocker is detected just make your site unreliable outright claiming an error is risky (see the infamous AARD code[0]) so better let the user come to the realisation.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AARD_code
The primary reason I use an adblocker is to prevent malware / viruses.

I would be more accepting of ads in general if:

1 - they were all served from the primary websites server - eg yahoo blaming third party ad servers for injecting virus scripts and taking no responsibility is not okay with me.

2 - I had easy choices to block ads for things like gambling and alcohol at the ip level, not just browser level.

3 - no flashing animated ads on static text pages. I am amazed at some pages I see trying to read 6 sentences and instead I get three at a time with 3 moving ads taking up most of the space.

Obviously it'd be fine to have moving ads during a 'commercial break' in a video.. but overlay a banner over it or next to it and having it moving is just wrong imho.

I didn't use youtube much at all for a long time, but have recently trained the thing to give me interesting videos about CSS, new tools like framer io, clickup, AI, 'productizing' and other helpful content is now available to me easier now..

So if I could not block ads on youtube now, I would have to pay the $12 for premium if that's what it costs.. I would suggest having a checkbox to add in a $5 bucket for tips to content creators and give a way to tip multiple of 10 cents or something - as I would like to support some of the folks adding value to the platform, and I'm guessing going 12 premium wouldn't help them much if at all.

A few days ago I brought up some lists of 'YT watch history' - it's a decent amount for me the past few months
- if 2 minutes of time was added to each one, and I had an employer, that company would be burning a fair amount of money for me to wait for ads each week at this point.

I also worry that ads at beginning of videos can be unfair when it seems a good percentage of videos I click then skip into a bit and find that they are not what I was expecting / hoping for and the click itself, 3 second buffering, and 2 second seek - were a huge waste of time, I can't imagine getting hit with added ads in those equations.
No, you're overthinking it. I'm perfectly happy when I'm sober - I have a nice house, a great relationship, a happy family and tons of hobbies. I am in no way crippled by fear, social anxiety or trauma.

Drinking with my friends makes me happy in different ways. Alcohol doesn't lose its appeal just because I'm happy while I'm sober.
haha :) didnt realize this came off so poorly
> Not necessarily. Life is not a zero sum game.

Life is a zero-sum game in way more ways than it is not, especially on the scale of a typical human life-span or important decisions that people make.

This is a bad trope that just won't die.

In fact you can see a lot of negative outcomes in spheres like housing and medicine precisely because of zero-sum issues.

It popped up first some time in the 90s (or at least that's when I first became aware of it), long before any "3D accelerators" or similar became available.

Telling a graphics card "here's a bitmap, please render it at these coordinates, over the framebuffer content" is so much easier and more efficient than, in the earlier days, rendering a cursor into the framebuffer (and then undoing that for the next frame), at the rate where this needs to happen (pretty much every frame) to boot.

I don't know if in modern times, this could be reasonably achieved through compositing, but I suspect "here's the bitmap, render it here" is still easier, conceptually at least.

> of an idea so clearly implemented in software.

As an aside, many hardware things are ideas that could be clearly implemented in software.
How could intellect, or the ability to reason and understand things ever be a problem connecting socially? If it's a problem, then it's not intellect but rather a lack of something. I would suggest it's a lack of intellect, or the lack of understanding the people around you and being able to find common threads of interest. This isn't a problem of high intellect. Everyone has absolute loads of things in common with every other human on this planet. If you can't connect with another human, it's not because of high intellect.
Maybe you are the exception.
Those aren't problems with intelligence, they're "problems" (insofar as they are problems, debatable) with things like social anxiety, inability or unwillingness to read social cues, superiority complexes (or inferiority complexes) etc. None of these are intrinsic to having an enormous capacity to learn, as multitudes of smart and charismatic people will attest. Part of this is also a matter of self-perception. Hey, lots of not very smart people also like to talk about their topics of interest beyond the appropriate span of patience. Plenty of them worry about that tendency as much as those burdened with Promethean intellect as well; plenty of them don't.

Unfortunately the whole Linux display thing has rather confounded searches about the town. Any open source contributors who live here are probably mildly annoyed.

I thought this was a pretty fair assessment of where remote work is at.

I think remote work is forcing the market to really reveal all of our incentives - as workers, as employers, etc - and to attempt to design a working system that best meets everyone's needs.

I think that when the market shifts to be less employee friendly, WFH will go down. When it shifts to be a hiring bonanza (as it was over the past couple of years) WFH will go up.
A big complaint I've seen in the past is AmazonBasics, where amazon copies successful products and sells them for slightly cheaper. This is identical to brands like Great Value (walmart), Up&Up (target), Nice (walgreens) and Safeway Select.

Similarly, I have seen a lot of complaints that amazon charges for ad space in the search, and you therefore need to pay to get out of page two. This, again, is widely practiced in retail. The cereal aisle doesn't look like it does because the store manager is making it up, general mills and post rent the space and decide how to arrange their sections. New retail products need to explicitly or implicitly pay for placement: either with cash or with free / discounted product.

For the sake of contrast to your post, I present my terrible personality.

When I'm sober I feel simultaneously manic and under-stimulated. I tend to exhibit uncooperative or argumentative behavior. This leads me to avoid others and isolate because I don't want them to get mad or dislike me. I have a hard time shutting my mouth. I'm so tired of playing the game of socializing, most people have nothing interesting or unpredictable to say or talk about.

When I'm drunk, I'm actually nice and can lie to kick it. I'm genuinely more loving, forgiving, and fun-loving.

- I like who I am when I'm drunk, and I don't like sober me

- I don't feel a loss of control and my experiences are better when I am able to let go of pretension and disappointment.

- I remember everything that happens to me, at worst I forget a non-important conversation

Hm, that's not my reading of the case, in particular this sentence from page 2 (the Syllabus):

The concurrence by Gorsuch also makes clear that the majority opinion was based on the Constitution, not Title VI.

> Today, the Court holds that the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment does not tolerate this practice. I write to emphasize that Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does not either.

What are you seeing that indicates that the majority opinion was based on Title VI?

Well at this point no-one is really surprised.

I think what is surprising is Musks blatant disregard for Twitter as a platform. I’m not the expert of this but my understanding is that a platform strategy brings a range of other companies and offerings that extend your ecosystem and offer value to your users beyond what you need to build out yourself.

Twitter was an anomoly in my mind but now Reddit seems desperate to follow Musks magical playbook.

How much is a platform play worth in 2023? Was it all just hype or are Reddit and Musk reading it wrong?

This is why I say "rockstar" is a synonym for mug. Why won't they pay those 6 developer 10-50x more?

I've seen it many times. Young developers working their bottoms off, creating a product that makes millions only to earn average developer salary and then being laid off when company gets new investment round.

At the same time, through progressive taxation, taxman takes (depending on the country) majority of earnings, so you won't be able to amass capital to start your own business.

This is the way how the rich captured the means of production (developers) in wage slavery.

No. I love that HN is strictly PULL.

Any time a conversation lasts more than a day, it's petty crap. Any time I'm posting enough that yesterday's comments are on page 2 of my threads, it's a sign that I need to stop commenting.

The argument is always that these companies are using and benefiting from news for free. Now, they aren't. It's weird to create a new kind of property right and then complain that companies are choosing to simply stop doing the thing that triggers the new right.
> The current situation for third party apps (which do exist, plenty of them) is you either give them your Tesla account username/password (super bad) or an access token that you get by signing into your Tesla account, which is less bad but still gives the app the same access as your full Tesla account.

In 2023, I'm amazed that this is still a thing. I'm also sad that users are so uncaring about their data that they are cavalier to just provide credentials to 3rd parties just because they pinky swear they'll not be evil and the use of their app is super worth it. I still remember the first time a coworker was singing the praises of some money/finance app that I decided to try. I immediately stopped and said nope when I realized they needed my user/password to all of the banks I wanted to connect. I feel sorry for people that feel the juice is worth the squeeze, especially when they get squeezed dry. Maybe it's not the 3rd party company, but the possibility of hackers that attack said 3rd party. Just too big of an ask
