I 100% hope Wayland's story mirrors PipeWire's... When PipeWire became installed by default on my distro, it was flawless.

If, when Wayland becomes default, it is as faultless as PipeWire is right now, it will join the pantheon of successful open source software, alongside the kernel, git, gcc, clang, etc.
>So yes, it 'works', with the caveat that the machine may wake itself at any time, burn through the entire battery and possibly do irreprable damage to your machine.

You haven't read my comment fully or are confusing hibernate with sleep. I was talking about hibernate which 100% works, not sleep. Hibernate can't wake up your laptop as your machine is completely powered off.
> This idea that physical fitness is "war" and excruciating painful and only for jocks is largely self-inflicted by nerds upon themselves.

I don't know how many this people generalizes true, but much of this was definitely inflicted on me by jocks.

I grew up in the South in a time where bullying was common and allowed. I had the biological misfortune to be a very skinny late bloomer who never put on muscle the way most boys did, even though I was pretty active. I was mocked and bullied constantly in PE and hated every second of it.

In high school PE, when we were doing football, they would do the classic move of picking two team captains who would then take turns picking people for their teams. Now, it is understood to be humiliating to be picked last in this scenario. But sometimes a captain would pick me first as a show of bravado. They would literally pick me and then tell they other captain that they were confident they'd still win even with me on their team.

I agree with your point whole-heartedly that using your body can and should be fun. But I also know that for a lot of awkward nerds like myself, there is a lot of emotional baggage that understandably gets in the way of it.
Was wondering about that myself.
Cloudflare tunnels are easy to set up. Otherwise, serving directly can be an option if you have a public static IP from your ISP or a public dynamic ISP and are okay with doing dynamic DNS.

IMHO the key is to have a good router/firewall that gives you the flexibility you need—ideally a custom box like OP. My software preference is opnsense, but there are plenty of other good options.
It’s a reference to MS strategy:

> These notes will vanish in about a week as we cycle in new content - emphasizing the fleeting, imperfect nature of the small web.

Kagi could just admit they don't want to moderate notes or store them permanently. No need to push down the small web, because a lot of small sites preserve their content.

I get that Kagi probably has data indicating the reality of how often sites down, but it seems from my experience that content in big platforms disappears often as well, even in the cases where the creator hadn't forgotten about it. The "Small web" websites made by a creator that cares have the room to be much more permanent.
Yeah it can be easy to forget but thermodynamics technically only aplies to whole systems at equilibrium. Which a star which constantly produces energy through fission is not.

In most circumstances we get away with it, allowing us to assign temperatures to small objects or even locations in space but it's not surprising that these laws stop working at the extremes.

>Windows can wake itself from hibernate.

You're confusing that with sleep. Windows can't wake itself from hibernate as the machine is fully powered off, not in some sleep state.
Money is inanimate, it can't actually do anything by itself. It takes labour and resources to realize an idea, and money is one way to control how labour and resources should be directed. This is why money (capital) equates to power.

As a result, under capitalism, those with more capital have more power to generate more capital, leading to a feedback loop that concentrates capital.
The problem is precisely that getting the protocol official is just the start. After that you have to go wait for every different compositor to implement it, as opposed to implementing it once in Xorg and then every window manager gets it automatically for free with zero additional effort.
I follow Jesus, that's what it means to be a Christian. He never said we have to take all of the Old Testament at face value (even though I never claimed I didn't). In fact His earthly mission was to inform us that it was out of date and He had the new Gospel, and many of his recorded words were dedicated to deriding those who followed the Old Testament legalistically.

Edit: if you actually would like a literalists interpretation of the flood, you could do worse than call up The Narrow Path radio show I linked above from 2-3 PM Pacific time and ask. The host is a full literalist and would be happy to talk.

You can run a website off a cellular connection, you don't need fiber for that. The pendulum has never left decentralized from a tech standpoint, folks are just too lazy.

In my case the data was a dummy database of more dummy users than are at our org (maybe 50% more). So once this goes to production it would likely get smaller.

The problem in this case was twofold:

- admin had the job to implement database backups. He didn't factor in backup size when allocating disk space. So this was wntirely his own fault.

- the database does store certain transactions for a certain period, so this grew initially until it it setteled at a certain level. Because the margin of storage was slim, this caused the problem
Generally it's to guard against ISP spying. In the case of your personal devices that you walk around with at work, the "ISP" is "your employer". Employer IT pride themselves on being far more nosy than your run-of-the-mill ISP.
Also kind of insane. 1-2 years? In any large codebase or platform, it takes a year to become familiar with and touch a decent portion of it. Also, talk about never having to live with the concequences of decisions you've made in terms of long term support and maintenance. But I guess these are all rockstar developers doing the hopping around so that's not really their concern is it.
That's disappointing, but not surprising.
Managers are underlings in that sense too. They don't own enough stock or have enough influence that they would rationally be thinking of the gains they'd make in their stock.

Managers take ownership because they're looking for their project to succeed, they want to advance their career, etc. and the same applies to "underlings"
I have the same pleasant experience with KDE on Wayland.

I finally switched from i3/xorg with Mate desktop tools to KDE/Wayland a year ago.

It's butter smooth, low latency, no tearing, fractional scaling is working fantastic. Thanks to pipewire, screenshots are captured into the clipboard manager and video capture/visio sharing offers fine control over which window or monitor(s) to share.

I think KDE has done tremendous work there, because compared to Gnome on Wayland it's night and day in performance.

Note that I am a 20y Linux desktop user and I have been using MS Windows regularly and a little bit MacOS for work few times per months.

If I were to rank the perception of fluidity (latency, tearing, stutter, CPU/GPU load), from best to worst:
- KDE/Wayland (I turn off all animations)
- MS Windows
- i3/Xorg (hello tearing)
- MacOS (smooth but lag, even on M2, it could be some intentional animation/delay I am not sure)

I can finally enjoy the future of the Linux Desktop: On my thinkpad 14 AMD Gen2 , 1080p screen, plugged into a 4k monitor at 120hz, OBS can record my screen at 4k 60fps in software using 40% CPU, and 4k 30fs on the GPU using 8% CPU.

Those are definite improvements compared to Xorg. So as a user, I am liking the Wayland stuff quite a lot.

If only we could have the MacOS touchpad experience, and the MS Windows mouse ballistic. And my life would finally be complete.
I have read many a monad tutorials. I'm reading through your new book right now and the chapter on IO is one of the best onramps I've read on building up intution for Monads!

Writing a book is hard work. Thank you for all the hardwork you put in writing this book, it's great! (I haven't gotten to the Monad Transformers yet in the book, I hope your book can finally help me get over the hump in understanding them :-)
I'm not exactly up-to-date on current techniques (I've been out of AAA game making for a while now), but here are some general observations that might be useful.

Way back during the transition from Doom to Quake, which in some ways really marked the transition from 2D to 3D, Quake's particle systems also relied overwhelmingly on small flat colored particles and their motions, rather than larger textured sprites and their silhouettes. (Quake did use a few sprites, but it was few and far between).

And I think the reasoning was pretty straight forward even back then; in a 3d game world, there are a lot of conceptual and architectural benefits to only working with truly 3d primitives - and point sprites often can be treated like nearly infinitely small 3d objects.

Whereas putting 2d sprites into a 3d scene introduces a bunch of kludges. In particular, 2d sprites with any partial transparency need to be sorted back to front in a scene for certain major blend modes, which gets really troublesome as there are more and more of them. They don't play nice with zbuffers. And because they need to be sorted, they don't always play nice with the more natural order you might prefer to batch drawing to keep the GPU happy. And likewise, they have a habit of clipping into 3d surfaces in ways that reveal their 2d-ness. There's probably more things I'm forgetting.

These are all issues that have had lots of technical workarounds and compromises thrown at them over time, because 2d transparent textures have been so important for things like effects and grass and trees. Screen door transparency. Shaders to change how sprites are written into zbuffers. Alpha testing. Alpha to coverage. Various follow-on techniques to sand down the rough edges of these things and deal with aliasing in shaders. And so on.

And then there's the issue of VR (or so a cursory skim suggests). I haven't spent time doing VR development myself, but a quick refresher skim of articles and forum posts suggests that 2d image based rendering in 3d scenes tends to stick out a lot more, in a bad way, in VR than on a single screen. The fact that they're flat billboards is much more noticeable... which is roughly what I had guessed before I started writing this comment up.

All of those reasons taken together suggest why people would be happy to move on from effects based on 2d texture sprites in 3d scenes, to say nothing of the other benefits that come from using masses of point sprites specifically themselves (especially in terms of physics simulations and such).

The author notes the limitations of such a self-study, and suggests being wary of causality (or lack thereof) in behavioral experiments.

To anyone concerned about finding vegan food to enjoy, and/or has GERD, here's how I eat (I have tried all sorts of diets, and have settled into Michael Pollan's "eat food [not ultra-processed "food"], not a lot [not to bursting, but slowly until the ghrelin says "ahhhh, that feels good"], mostly plants):

I sprout wheat seeds and various legumes (lentils, adzuki beans, chickpeas, mung beans, etc- anything that will sprout and which I can buy from in bulk from Azure Standard, a bulk distributor in Oregon), and microwave them on 30% power (1000W machine) until tender (lower power for longer results in more-thorough cooking, and not as much water loss, especially for things like cubed beets). I'll also cook similarly some diced vegetables, whatever's in season, and add nutritional yeast, homemade kimchi (this is easy to make; books by Sandor Ellix Katz are a helpful reference), and any uncooked greens. Sometimes I'll add meat if we have it; meat is a tasty treat, a luxury, a highlight but not necessary for me to enjoy the meal. I'll add some olive oil or butter if there's otherwise no fat, but I don't overdo it because of GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disorder). If I make too much for one meal, I eat the rest throughout the day, "listening to my body" (a term I've heard since childhood but never really understood how to do until recently) to know when I've had enough. I don't eat much after mid-afternoon, and I also cook meals for my family that they will enjoy. Easier now, since I often use ingredients I avoid (onion, garlic, tomatoes), and I sit down with everyone for our one shared meal of the day, sometimes wth a small bowl of something neutral like rice, or a cup of warm water. It's not ideal, but it works and I'm less grumpy because of it.

If there's a takeaway I'd suggest, it's that you don't have to give up meat or be entirely vegan.

Complete opposite experience. 5/3 is the worst bank I've ever used.
I had a mortgage that got switched to them. I desired to do web banking, but their website & then customer support treated me as a hostile entity. Do you in any way deviate from the masses in your browser experience? No chrome? Ad blocker? Several invisible behaviors on their website increase a threat score against you, which eventually leads to an akamai ip block.
There's no indication anything bad is happening until you're locked out for a week. It just looks like the site itself is broken.

I had to get on the phone with tech support 4 times before things started working weeks later.
First time, they sent be back to the site, only to make it worse.
Second time, they gave me some weird recovery code, which I couldn't put in the site properly.
Third time, they told me to wait 24 hours because there was nothing I could do until my threat score decreased but they weren't willing to assist or elaborate.
It wasn't 24 hours, it was more. Eventually when I did get in, actually using the website once logged in, in certain ways, re-triggered me getting blocked.

So, I vastly overpay my mortgage because I want to be done with them as fast as possible. Terrible experience.
> think it was the ideal and expected result at one time (civil service job + pension = private market job) but the connection was broken long ago.

Long ago, private sector jobs also had defined benefit pensions, and civil service jobs still were notorious for having lower pay outside of low-end labor (where, sometimes, civil service jobs still, in addition to pensions, have competitive pay and better pre-retirement benefits.)

The thing that sticks people’s craw is that it has more or less solidified the current allocation of street space to parking, and any attempt to change it (bus lanes, bike lanes, a COVID outdoor eating area, etc.) now cost the city substantial amounts of money.

He means Windows can set a timer to wake up after a while to run scheduled tasks. You might not have noticed those wake timers because they are few and it usually works as expected with windows hibernating back after a few minutes.

The difficulty of disabling wake timers has been exaggerated, though. It's in the advanced power settings, there's no need for the big scary registry.

Don't think it's to do with ownership. Google reviews have the same problem. There are tons of 1 star reviews that praise movies with what sounds like critic or AI written text.

Try searching for barbie movie for an example. Click more reviews and filter by 1 star. The third says:

"Barbie," director and co-writer Greta Gerwig’s summer splash, is a dazzling achievement, both technically and in tone. It’s a visual feast that succeeds as both a gleeful escape and a battle cry. So crammed with impeccable attention to detail is "Barbie” that you couldn’t possibly catch it all in a single sitting; you’d have to devote an entire viewing just to the accessories, for example.

It even says ADVERTISEMENT in capital letters but below the fold where you have to expand the whole review to see it. Despite that this review directly contradicts its star rating, 774 "people" have marked it as helpful.

Scroll down a bit further and there is another, "If this was an item on the McDonald’s menu, it would be everyone’s favourite - the Oreo McFlurry. Hands down, I don’t think I could name a better film. The acting was superb!" which supposedly nearly a thousand people found helpful. This one doesn't say anywhere that it's an ad.

When I first noticed this, almost all the top 1 star reviews were ads. Real users have been correcting it and the top two reviews are now real. The second review says "Update: if you notice google is showing mostly 5 star reviews when there is almost an equal number of 1 stars to 5 stars hence why the average is 3 stars." and the 5th post says "I noticed a few giving spectaculars about the movie but rating it as one star, maybe to drown out the real reviews?" so irate users have been noticing the manipulation too.

It's really very embarrassing for Google. It's gone now but originally when you searched for this movie there was a special pink sparkle effect. So they're paying engineers to write special code just for this movie whilst ignoring obvious fake reviews, claiming they were meta-reviewed by thousands of people and they still haven't cleaned this up even weeks later.
Thanks for your reply.

I think you are right about the rules, just expressing them in a different way,
not by local interaction between neighboring nodes,
but by first-order logic!

When we add 2 (S(S(0))) and 3 (S(S(S(0)))).

I think we start with:

```

Add

| -- S -- S -- Z

| -- S -- S -- S -- Z

```

and then we would reduce it to:

```

S -- S -- S -- S -- S -- Z

```
