As the poor sap who’s had to build lots of these types of sites, I’ll tell you that it’s not the devs that want this. It’s the damn client that keeps complaining about the “gravity” or the “momentum” or the “scroll speed” of the site. Locomotive.JS being the main thing clients want us to use… no amount of explanation of all your valid points will persuade them if “this one cool site we like had it”.

I will say this… the scroll speed being different between Chrome, Safari and Firefox doesn’t help our cause… wish these were normalized at the very least so we can avoid “it feels better in X, but we use Y browser” notes.

Allowing an easing function API for scroll would be a middle ground I could live with. It’s better than what we have now (a bunch of award winning sites emulating scroll with translates).
It’s funny you think there is a separation between the two in any practical way.

unless there's a complete restructuring of our society then a repeat of the late 18th century seems to be the likely outcome

I've been running solely on Linux since something like 2015. I was primarily on Linux from ~2006 or so, but did switch to Windows for a couple of years to play some Windows games. (this was before Proton really existed)

I'm probably less technically savvy than a lot of the HN crowd, and I just have not ever had a significant problem running linux. For sure, I've avoided some problems by being picky about what PCs I buy. But for the most part it's been pretty pain free. Running Linux full-time has been effortless and easy. And thanks to Valve, gaming on Linux gets better every year. I played Elden Ring on launch, and on launch, it actually played better than PC.

To the extent that HN types have trouble with Linux, I can only imagine it's because they're doing _more_ on their PC than me. ie, they have some software or project that just needs to run a certain way. For sure, Linux isn't always perfect for that.
Knowing casinos, it's pretty likely that they actually have good security.
I disagree with the overall point you're making here, but I can see that you are seriously committed to it, so I think that no amount of examples of internetworks from the 1980s and 1990s is going to persuade you: to you, I think they'd all be toy-scale and thus irrelevant.

Networking in the 1980s and early 1990s was all small LANs, for the vast majority of users, and for PC-type kit.

But there were internetworks, yes. DEC ran a global network; DEC tech support was my first experience of true worldwide follow-the-sun support, where the techs on 3 different continents could pick up my case from a single shared database and help me move it forward.

I was sysadmin of the London node of a DECnet internet that spanned Oslo, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Helsinki. No IP links between the sites, just DECnet.

Companies were running global IPX internetworks: that is how the problems with scaling Netware 3's bindery database arose, which is why Novell developed NDS and Netware 4.

Yes, it was a thing. Updating and modernising it was hard.
I think it does though if you try to sell it... I mean Disney does occasionally go after artists selling baby yoda plushies that have been cropping up all over Etsy. Part of that is how busted copyright claims systems are, but they suuurely have some legal right to the likeness of yoda himself, especially in plushie context. Surely?
I'll go ahead and vouch for it, I can't speak to the bug specifically, but everything they've said tracks, and I have a really funny similar story (different orgs).

It's odd, and not what I heard much about FAANG say 5 years ago, but it is what it is.

Among root causes:

- people hate tattletales

- everyone is overworked.

- no second-level manager has enough time or upside to run an investigation every time a first-level manager says "no they forgot about {concurrency|tps report v2.1|memory use}" and another first-level manager, not responsible for the code, says its fine.

- hell, your first-level manager doesn't have upside because it's just conflict. If you got someone knocking around for you, you got a good one.

As far as I know the treatment for Parkinson’s is basically lifelong dopamine pills, which of course you build a tolerance to and which lose effectiveness over time, requiring ever higher doses. Meaning once you start on them, the ticking countdown of your brain’s lifespan starts as well.

This is true of the big name consultants where they're just sending new Ivy grads into the org. Small consultancy shops can be really useful to smaller orgs when:
1. The consultants are ex or current operators who actually know something
2. Those smaller orgs can't afford that level of talent full time.
Texas' power failures were largely due to failures in natural gas production. This drove down natural gas supplies across a huge chunk of the country. It had a lot of knock-on effects in neighboring states where they were pushed near their limits as well, especially neighboring areas. Even Minnesota was affected by Texas gas production shortfalls.

https://apnews.com/article/why-texas-power-grid-failed-2eaa6...

> This isn’t just happening in Texas, of course. Utilities from Minnesota to Mississippi have imposed rolling blackouts to ease the strain on electrical grids buckling under high demand during the past few days.

The amount of energy deficit was like 30GW of power. Oklahoma's entire generation capacity is like 6.7GW. Arkansas has a little over 5GW. Both states were already massively straining to keep the lights on and had rolling blackouts. Even if you decided to redirect all the electricity from both states into Texas you'd still have a shortfall of an additional 20GW of power. So you'd need all the power of like six surrounding states to balance out that deficit.

Moving power from even further out causes a lot of challenges, so even if there was a good bit of spare capacity in places like maybe Illinois or something a lot of it wouldn't have made it down there.

There's a good chance even if Texas was connected, if gas failed the same way there would have still been massive outages. Now, would gas have failed if required to make the NERC's recommendations? That's another question. But just the basic idea of being on the other interconnection, it probably wouldn't have saved Texas from having massive outages.

Despite the claims of a certain political party, state photo ID cards are easy to get here as well. They are needed for most benefits programs, banking, driving cars, air travel, purchasing items that are age restricted, and many other routine parts of adulthood. It is extremely unlikely that potential lawful voters would be disenfranchised by requiring a photo ID to vote. However, I fully support making a government issued photo ID freely available for those who don’t already have one.
The remediation is the ability to whitelist/grant full access to specific domain to allow for advanced blocking.

This is a total non-sequitur. The source of all malicious browser extensions is Google, Apple and Mozilla, and none of them have demonstrated any willingness whatsoever to fix the problem, even when a mere grep across their distributed extension base can trivially identify all the various openly advertised trojan SDKs that cause millions of users to be tracked or have their internet connection reused for various shady proxy websites.
If my example of pipeline is a limited metaphor, couldn't it be expanded?

I love this subject but it's traditionally over-complex, so I appreciate the correction and explaination.

How could "strength" be applied generically to programs outside of Haskell? Could the concept of pipelines be extended? Is programming too 1 dimensional? There must be ways to do this.

I would make it just use the same hotkey, but held down. So in the default case, tapping option-space would start a normal recording session, tapping again would stop it; holding option-space down would start a PTT session, releasing would end it.

PTT would be such a naturally good fit here imo.

I had the pleasure of going to a pain clinic. It was filled with patients and filled with young attractive sales reps. Even back then in my 20s I felt uneasy. I then entered the office described that I was having pain for a few months, no more than 3 minutes later I was given a few days supply of cymbalta and a prescription for said drug. 0 warnings about possible side effects and felt like my medical needs were not addressed at all.

This was after they were cracking down on opiates so cymbalta became the next big thing. Now, there are issues coming about those drugs too. I don’t think it’s as bad as opiates though.

I have learned that many doctors just plainly don’t care. I have some in my family and they don’t see an issue with getting free shit from sales reps.
>I am down to zero third-party developers that can get compromised and silently push an update that compromises all my web sessions.

It's my understanding that because uBlock Origin is a "recommended extension", it must undergo a formal code review each time a new update is published. A malicious update would not face zero obstacles.

Yeah, sorry. My comment was meant to agree, but illustrate that to people without anxiety (or disinclined to trust the medical establishment) CBT might come across as little different from “it’s all in your head”.

I suffer from the same, and after CBT, it’s actually kind of worse to hear “it isn’t real, so don’t worry”, because I know it (on the balance of probability) isn’t real, but somehow that doesn’t make me feel any better.
Well this is a topical place to ask this tangent I suppose. My GPU is on the fritz and I'm looking to replace it. Has anyone gotten SteamVR working decently under Linux through Proton? If so, what GPU do you have? It's basically impossible to search for information on this, but I really want to develop for VR, and I'd like to not have to boot into Windows to do it
It’s an entirely new brand and platform that’s been in the works for a while.
Windows doesn't have kernel-mode GUI. To the extent that task manager (and the ctrl-alt-del screen) is prioritized it's prioritized in user mode. And it's far from reliable in my experience: if the rest of the system is bogging down then task manager also tends to suffer, and I don't think I've ever seen it work in an OOM situation.

Windows does have an early-oom like solution where it pops up a warning if you are getting close to running out of memory with an option to kill the highest-memory application, and it will also automatically expand swap if you have allowed it to do so great option if you don't like free disk space, but if both those fail it will crash hard

With the xbox 360 marketplace shutting down next year, will Steam be the longest running digital marketplace? That longevity is what earns my trust.

Update: iTunes Store started in April 2003, Steam started selling third-party titles in late 2005 (around when the 360 launched).
It's not a problem at all. There are a few serious problems with social media, but none of them are this.
> it is actually a good experience to run Linux on the gaming laptop instead of Windows

Not a laptop, but I am livestreaming games from a Linux desktop. In the roughly two years since I've started doing this on a regular basis, I have played 23 games on stream using Steam Proton. My experience matches what Steam Deck owners told me about compatibility. It's not been completely glitchless, but all the problems I ran into were minor graphics glitches. When I buy games, I check protondb.com in advance, and it's always either Platinum or Gold for me these days.

I will note though that all the games I played were either single-player or cooperative multi-player. With competitive multi-player, there is an entire can of worms because of anti-cheat software. Valve's own anti-cheat should be fine, but if the game developer is using a different anti-cheat, it usually relies on Windows kernel drivers or some other shenanigans that conflicts with Wine in a major way.
Thanks! Looks like I'll need to rent a GPU to use SDXL fine tuning. Poor old RTX2060 not gonna cut it.
No. The userspace/kernel boundary is explicitly not stable on Windows, and binaries that try to use that interface have broken when it changed.

This has an obvious clear benefit: all of the people who have said "oh well Google could be compelled to sign a malicious update for a single user"... This is an attempt at solving that via a transparency log.

Granted, I think for this to matter much all-up, it would need to apply to PSF, Apex, general app updates, etc.... Which I'm pretty sure this doesn't even attempt to touch.

I'd love to hear Google speak to that but that seems like a huge can of worms compared to the image based hashing, signing, verification that is already part of the tooling, ecosystem and consciousness.

They did care about Linux, which was an even smaller market that doesn't like to spend money and doesn't like closed source and DRM. Yet now everybody is singing their praises.

It stands to reason that Steam on Mac is bad in comparison because of Apple.
linux will always try to release cache before it invokes the OOM killer: this is part of why the OOM behavior on linux can be so pathological: the 'cached' data includes the code in executable files on disk, and so evicting them from cache in close-to-oom situations will often completely bog down the system with disk thrashing before the oom-killer gets invoked (this is why earlyoom and the like are a thing).
The one negative I've found with Lazarus... And this is purely if you were someone coming from a Delphi background, or were planning on Lazarus being your "get out of jail free" card if [Embarcadero/(whoever owns it now)] decides to stop updating Delphi (and even then you could probably manage it's lack of updates for years, hell I stayed on Delphi 2007 for a good 8 or 9 years after XE, XE1, XE2 et al had been out).. Anyways, back to my point, the one major negative I've found with Lazarus is you simply can not take Delphi code, and compile it straight in Lazarus... There are many many many very subtle differences. Totally fine and understandable, but if you were planning on taking the attitude of "Stuff Delphi, lets take our 400k line project and move to Lazarus", you are going to have a bad time.

Having said that I've done a couple of my own projects at home in Lazarus. It's fine, it feels dated, going back to the original Delphi / VB style of RAD tool with form designer/code editor as floating windows etc. The intellisense leaves something to be desired, but I can't be too critical because it's not like I'm putting my hand up to contribute to the project. If you look at what you get for what you pay for, it's quite literally amazing.

This reply is also biased, maybe we had some bad experience in the past, but the example you made, Pipewire, is one of the things I was stunned that worked out of the box. It is relatively recent but it is already installed by default on most modern distros, and no "configuration hell" required. Linux applications might not be as good-looking as most of Apple store ones, but most of them sure work.

I'm not saying that you should switch to Linux, you do you, and to be honest Linux is not that friendly anyway. But that is not reason to stone linux to death, the parent comment is not even that offensive for MacOS users, it just asks if switching to linux would be an option, as an thought

Depending on location, a bicycle is not a viable alternative. Driving is a condition of living if food is 30 minutes of driving into town.

I’m am not advocating for lax DUI laws, but a driving ban is the equivalent of house arrest or forced relocation for some people/locations unless they have people who can help them with transportation.

Moving to a city with public transit would provide the most autonomy, but would also mean uprooting one’s life, leaving family behind, etc.
