Oh, I do agree with you. We should not individualize a collective problem. Telling people to eat less meat will be a lot less effective than, say, ending oil subsidies. I think a lot of people think ending the climate crisis is about NOT doing something, but that is not really a feasible choice. We would need something like 7 or 8 Corona recessions to actually reach the 1.5C "goal".

I do agree with you, except for the natural gas part. The leaks in the process of storing and transporting natural gas are too large for it to be feasible even if chimney carbon capture starts being 100% effective.

Regarding meat production we could at least start with not subsidising the shit out of it.

No mention of the Toledo School of Translators, the equivalent to the Tizard mission of the 12th century.

That event along with similar events in Italy and elsewhere was what truly triggered the Renaissance but historians in the West won't ever acknowledge it using that phrasing.

Today, people are taught that Leonardo Da Vinci was hiding in a room somewhere and suddenly the Renaissance happened. That caliber of nonsense is necessary to explain the gap without recognizing the merit of other civilizations.

Then you read this and realize that everything you have been taught about medieval times are fake feel-good stories about how the West is the light

A brief extract:

> Now 'tis established in the exact Sciences by precise demonstration, that the Sun is a Spherical Body, and so is the Earth; and that the Sun is much greater than the
Earth; and that part of the Earth which is at all times illuminated by the Sun is above half of it; and that in that half which is illuminated, the Light is most intense in the midst, both because that part is the most remote from
Darkness, as also, because it offers a greater surface to the Sun; and that those parts which are nearer the Circumference of the Circle, have less Light; and so gradually, till the Circumference of the Circle, which encompasses the illuminated part of the Earth, ends in Darkness.

But you don't even need to know what language your tool is written in if all you want is a static documentation site.

This is a problem a lot of people have; they think in technology instead of actual problem solving. Just look at how many projects have been posted on here with a title like "$solved_problem... in Rust!" as if Rust makes everything better forever.

It's marketing bullshit. It's self-gratification. It's using a technology for technology's sake, not for solving a problem. And it's costing the industry billions in sunk cost, dead ends, overcomplicated and unmaintainable software. Because one guy felt strongly about a language or technology.

PSHTML: Cross platform Powershell module to generate HTML markup language
> Ten years ago, during my 2013 keynote at re:Invent, I told you that we wanted to “support today’s workloads as well as tomorrow’s,” and our commitment to Classic is the best evidence of that. It’s not lost on me, the amount of work that goes into an effort like this — but it is exactly this type of work that builds trust, and I’m proud of the way it has been handled. To me, this embodies what it means to be customer obsessed. The EC2 team kept Classic running (and running well) until every instance was shut down or migrated.

This is why businesses trust AWS.

Yes, I found those rules unclear.

My version:

1. The goal is to capture all the black pieces, which never move.

2. Move one white piece each turn, using the basic rules of chess piece movement. You can't move through red obstacles. Pawns don't promote. There is no check.

3. When you capture a piece (black or white), your white piece turns into the type of piece you just captured.
It's not really the ads that killed Google search for me. it's more the over agressive minmaxed SEO that makes most of results garbage.
For me it's simple. Most of my machines run a simple <10 line script that keeps x0vncserver ready and waiting for every physical desktop (one machine has three of them using the still working multi-seat stuff). This matters. It lets me debug serious crises on my mom's machine 700km away (serious crisis: Accidentally changed the message sort order in Thunderbird, for example); it lets me reach down from my workplace (indirectly, via a proxy!) to remotely access something, etc.

Of course this is, today, considered a security nightmare. But it works and I use it. Give me an equally trivial way to do it on Wayland and I think my last X dependency goes away.

I`m sure in it. In fact, I agree that children should be taught modern technologies, and you should not think that AI will replace everyone. Remember how in the beginning there were a lot of reports about students writing essays using chatGPT? So my friends and I still use the https://edubirdie.com/write-my-essay-for-me service because they write reliable papers for which we get good grades. AI often writes nonsense, and it should be borne in mind that its database is rarely updated.
It's not clear, but my interpretation is that they contacted every account holder, somehow convinced them to migrate (perhaps with discounts and/or threats of termination) and then shut down once everyone migrated.

Would be very interesting to learn how that was possible, it seems surprising to me that there wasn't even one instance that the owner forgot about or just was unwilling to do any work on.

It's possible that credit card expiration was the key, as that may have automatically disabled almost all forgotten accounts.
That's an amazingly quick fix!

Try "Feike de Boerlaan" to "Vondelpark". I would expect the trip to take the Czaar Peterstraat and then the Sarphatistraat, but instead it takes the Panamalaan, Zeeburgerdijk, Mauritskade, and only switches to the Sarphatistraat at the Weesperplein, which I think is also the point where the Sarphatistraat changes from a bike street to a regular street with a bike lane. Although it later switches back to bike street again yet the route stays on the bike street.

So I have no idea what's going on with that first part of the Sarphatistraat. It's a really nice route, yet all apps hate it.

> For instance, most people don't like the attitude that voting is not a very effective form of political action.

To me, this stance seems to be very US-centric. In Germany, this is an actually quite socially acceptable opinion (even though, of course, the "system press"/"lie press" (Systempresse, Lügenpresse; derogatory terms for the mainstream of newspapers and magazines, which are considered to be too attached to political parties) does not like such a stance). In the 60s and 70s, this attitude actually lead to the formation of the Außerparlamentarische Opposition (extra-parliamentary opposition) in West Germany:

Perhaps you should brush up on your constitutional law, because at least in this one instance the Bill of Rights is entirely being respected.

Also consider that for every noise complaint to the police, there is a complainant - a citizen constituent - who is being bothered by a loud party. But let's forget about those people, their rights to reasonable peace and quiet don't matter? I don't agree with that stance.
I had that idea, but even with that, I'm still stuck. I get to a position with white king stuck behind the pawn on c3, with black pieces on a5, a6 and d6.

This goes all ways. The USSR had their hands in Spanish politics. Spain’s extensive gold reserves were drained and shipped off to Moscow, for instance.

Spain was dragged into a political and economic system with no real organic connection to the country. Democracy here has always been a farce. During covid the leftist government enacted some of the most draconian lockdowns in the world, and there was zero pushback from the kind of people who seethe over Franco. Also, the government is many times larger than it ever was during Franco (hence more control), the economy is relatively worse off, and the fertility rate is in a death spiral.
It was also confusing to the users. I remember seeing a post every other week on HN about a service going down or losing data because they accidentally used the ephemeral devices for their databases. Haven't seen one of those in ages.

Currently using XFCE on a remote desktop. This configuration has in the last ten years been met with "theoretically, someone could maybe maybe write something one day that makes this work on Wayland".

Well, until it is, then I frankly hope that Wayland fails and is abandoned, because as it is now it sucks up all the mindshare of desktop Linux into what it consider a dead end: having each and everyone doing their own owner-draw. One can see the same in all these "cross-platform" toolkits that pops up, where all accessibility and themeability has just been thrown out the window (figuratively).

It doesn't matter if "everyone has been doing it like this for the last ten years": That doesn't make it right.

Well my WM for a start. It did not migrate to Wayland.

And I also need to share screen from time to time (teams, Google chat, etc), which results in a dark screen for viewers in Wayland.

I never even wanted a compositor, I always disable composition (because why have it working if I don't need it) if this can be done easily enough on a system I would use without making it too ugly.

Law isn't absolute, that's why we have courts, judges, juries. Unlike source code, laws are dynamic and subject to interpretation.

It's a restriction because it's attempting to protect the copyright, while violating the rights granted to the user under fair use policy. Similarly, it could be violating privacy rights or open back doors that violate cybersecurity laws. If laws change (copyright laws, for instance), DRM won't magically adjust.

[EDIT] In summary: it's a balance, where different conflicting interests ought to be weighed. But we have DRM trying to close every door except the one intended by the copyright holder; versus: the user expecting stuff to work somewhat coherently and finding ways to circumvent the restrictions (often, though certainly not always, with benign intentions).

It's also worth remembering that infrastructure stuck on EC2 Classic would have been built so long ago it may predate modern cloud tooling and even modern best practices around reproducibility and CI/CD.

Basically a devil's advocate: I have a person in my family, a personal computer user since 80s-90s, who still can't fully understand the concept of authentication realms, i.e. news.ycombinator.com.

From my observations, they would try to type in "the" username and password to "unlock" the system everywhere, and in the process realizes that special instruction applies, and jumps to an ever growing switch-case statement in the exception handler, that routinely skips and punches through the bottom. No matter what or how I speak about an identity being a set of [domain,id,secret], it would not stick. The schema was carved in stone long ago and isn't changing. I've naturally tried converting them to a password manager, it didn't matter. Falling into installing WinZip, twice, and subsequently paying for it was far easier than using it, apparently. Whenever a login process could not be completed, the system is considered to have "became unusable", and signup flow is repeated to again "unlock" the system.

To include such kinds of common people, reducing situations that realms matter is crucial. Passwordless login such as SMS and e-mail magic links is one way, password sharing among websites(dangerous) is another, and OAuth/OpenID/federated login is among those.

A user that feel uneasy typing XY account passwords on a browserish popup that claims to be a part of the legitimate "Login with XY" flow is not a normal user. That is a competent, near-developer power user.

I would love to switch to Wayland, but so far, Xwayland still works worse for non-96 DPI setups than just X11 with Xft.dpi set to a non-96 value. I can't understand why Xwayland opts to have applications render at 96-dpi and upscale as a default (with the only option to change this apparently involving code for some reason). My current setup of using Xft.dpi just works for me. Where applications support it, they render correctly, where applications don't support it, there is normally some application scaling setting I can easily change.
It isn't very difficult to log the events to disk and send them later. In fact I would be shocked if they didn't do this already. Offline support wouldn't noticeably affect the data they receive. In fact it may help it if people are using the app more and the event delivery is more reliable.

One real reason could be ads. Unless they are pre-loading ads for offline display than offline browsing will not produce revenue.

No, migrating did involve intervention from the account holder. More information here: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/ec2-classic-is-retiring-her...

It seems like AWS spent time, people and money to migrate customers off EC2 classic. They made a fairly good effort to automate the process and make it less painful for customers. For example: https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/ssm-migrate-ec2classic-v...

The original network was from an everyone-on-the-same-subnet model to a you get your own subnet, so yes, customer applications could break in the process. People do all sorts of non-smart things for good reasons, like hardcoding an ip address in /etc/hosts when a nameserver is down. And then they forget to change it back. To do these sorts of migrations well requires a sort of stick and carrot approach. The stick, which is we want to shut down this service and will eventually refuse you service, and the carrot, which includes automation, reminders that people need maintenance windows for their applications, clear directions, and above all, willingness to deal with people and actually talk to them.

> X is competing against specialist applications like VNC

I stay with X because it lets me have multiple independent logins with their own desktops. The last time I checked, Wayland doesn't support this, and this is well outside of what VNC does. This is a very important facility to me.
