Tiling is not great, but I believe is better than floating window managers. Yet neither are good enough in 2023.

In floating systems, partially covered windows are useless and usually avoided: either you want to see everything, or you minimize the window. The few times one tries to actually keep a partially covered window (i.e. show only the last few lines of a terminal visible), the UX is terrible because as soon as you switch focus the visibility of the entire stack of windows changes, and you need to click around/Alt-Tab to restore the previous layout. For this reason, 99% of people just have a single window that's maximized per workspace.

Tiling window managers could be decent if they were a core experience, but in reality no one develops apps for them so you always have some popup that spawns and fills half your screen.

The major shortcoming of both is that they only work in rectangular, desktop-sized screens. Mobile UIs avoid both, and default to single-window-always-maximized, which still isn't good enough.

Scrollable tiling managers, however, would be the bee's knees: windows are laid out on an infinitely scrollable horizontal layout, which would also easily replicate the common side-by-side layout "power users" often rely on. There are some niche experiments like PaperWM, but they haven't ironed out the UX for some reason: if they just made the entire layout scrollable by panning on your touchpad/mobile screen, it would instantly be better than anything we have today, and free us from the tyranny of window management. Additionally, it would work with both our widescreen, cinema-sized desktop monitors, and mobile devices.

(I have never used it and memory might fail me, but I seem to remember Palm webOS devices had this scrollable "card" layout system which people seemed to like a lot. See https://www.palmtotal.com/sites/www.palmtotal.com/files/imag...)
I don't really understand when you say that spawning async would be just like a green thread (goroutine). I thought they were fundamentally different.
Me too but I still love listening to gobs of music on Spotify.
Personally I've never had a problem re-experiencing events from digital photos. Often more so, because I take a good handful and get a sequence rather than just a single snap.

Aside from that - how did your ex manage to avoid fading?

Polaroids are absolutely notorious for yellow-fade. And the chemistry is weird and fragile.

It takes a month or so for the photo to fix. If you do anything to it in that time - cut off the white edges, squeeze it an album, expose it to light - the fading happens even more quickly.

In a very similar vein, on Windows I use WindowManager [0] to always open windows in the same position, based on application and/or window title. There's a global keyboard shortcut to save the size and position of the current window, so that it’s automatically restored to that same size and position the next time (and every subsequent time) it is opened. For many applications, using that keyboard shortcut once is enough, but one can define more sophisticated criteria in the configuration dialog. This basically provides the same benefits as described by the parent.

I don't like tiling window managers, because I want most windows to be roughly centered in my field of view, and also vertically maximized. Actually, what I really want to be centered is the relevant contents of each window, which generally isn’t the same as centering the window itself, due to sidebars and other application-specific layout vagaries. Hence the necessity to save size and position per application. I also rarely need to see multiple windows simultaneously side-by-side. Having the windows centered and full size (if not full screen) trumps the drawback of having to press Alt+Tab or other keyboard shortcuts to switch between them.

> Then consider an employer who demands more of the employee than they can safely give—what choices does the employee have?

Get a better union? This is why unions are similar employee protections are so important.

If employees can be forced into a corner and forced to act illegally or immorally by their employer, then you create a situation where employers that abuse their employees the most can out compete competitors that treat their employees well. Ultimately you just end up with a country of abusive employers, and disempowered abused employees.

> Start from the premise that most people in an employment situation should be considered as "acting under duress"

If that’s your starting point, then it does suggest a rather catastrophic failure of government.
Nginx Unit + PHP seems to handedly out-perform Nginx + php-fpm[1][2][3].

Also, Docker environments running PHP via Nginx Unit will no longer need separate containers for http + fpm, as it works similar to Apache's mod_php.

TBH, I have not read the whole article yet, but to me emotions are, fundamentally an immune response.

As I have discovered that my mood disorder is in fact, an immune disorder, I am seeing this true in all aspects of emotions. In Bipolar Disorder they find the M1/M2 polarization of macrophages directly reflect the manic or depressive state.

Logistics startup rescinds dozens of job offers amid messy executive drama
This is such a... strange way to essential just ignore the problem and hope it goes away. Like a student deciding not to study, because why would that help. Either he fails or another in a—essentially—another world does or doesn't. Problem solved.

This kind of attitude is problematic regardless of the topic though. Because whether it works out or not isn't dependent on you, because what you're describing is just noping out of the situation and ignoring it.

And, for those who genuinely do care, one way or the other. That take the many hours upon hours to write out good whitepapers on the topic, how is that panicking exactly? Sure, there is a lot of horror media, purposefully misleading information, and doomer attitudes thrown around from either side of the argument, and some of those average (statistically speaking) folk can probably be described as panicking. And there's also companies doing and implementing things only for the PR, or to remove heat from themselves, or preemt such things, and what have you. But I still wouldn't go so far as to write the entire topic off because some people are panicky and a lot of companies have financial incentives to earn more regardless of morality.

I do agree that, on the current course, I can't see humanity lasting very long, so to speak... that is, if nothing is done about it. Sure, perhaps nothing will work out. Perhaps everything will fix itself if one ignores the problem. Perhaps the fictional student ends up passing either way. Perhaps it won't. But is that reason enough to simply brush our hands of it? To just let it happen? Sitting back and doing nothing won't make things better either. Doing something has—at least—the potential for change, whether good or bad.
What you refer to as "degrowth" is not necessarily what the parent is.

Like most political terms it has been used in a variety of ways by different people.

Some of the classic "degrowth" proponent ideas would reduce the viable Earth human population to around a billion and this would be seen as a good thing. I know three such people personally.
Which to me make emotions an immune response.
I've been doing this for decades. It works very well, it can handle complex cases, and it ports trivially between different hosting systems.
All that consumption drives GDP though. As long as we continue to worship that (both economically and politically), we are unlikely to voluntarily consume less at the national level.
I would not be too surprised if there were more deposits in the US southwest. While the specific sequence of events for this one may be unique, there was tremendous volcanic activity there during the "Mid-Tertiary Ignimbrite Flareup". This event, from about 25-40 million years ago, produced enough pyroclastic deposits that (if evenly spread) would bury the entire continental US 55 meters deep. I believe the largest known supervolcanic eruption ever was part of this period.
For most people those 40k(or a lot more than that depending on where you are) that go into a wedding would be better served with a dinner at a nice restaurant and a down payment for an appartment/house.
If human progress is dependent on old folk like me using "kibi-byte" instead of "kilo-byte" then we are, as a species, doomed.

Also, SI and IEC are two different things. "kibibyte" is not a SI unit, it's an IEC defined unit.
We tried roadrunner (similar thing), but couldn't do it without rewriting certain bits of the app (anything with globals basically) whereas unit was a straight swap. My guess would be, if you're properly using the advantages swoole can bring (like shared memory cache etc), it will outperform unit.

Russia is has very opportunistic foreign policy. Russian way is to take everything that they can get. Agreements or promises mean nothing. They respect only power. They overreached in Ukraine, but the strategy is otherwise sound. They can still win something if the West blinks.

Russia as a state acts rationally after the hard line is drawn and backed with power. The only way you can provoke Russia is when you giving up something for free for a promise of a peace.
I don't know why people are so obsessed with this conspiracy theory. Occam's Razor says it was Oswald. Why invest time speculating and arguing over it when there is no way to verify anything?

Easy to say that when you don't have a family member who is suicidally depressed because they spent 20 years working hard to get through the process, had their green card application process messed up by their employer, have barely lived in their country of origin and have no career prospects there because what they are educated in is not valued there.
Oh my gosh I also noticed that!
The author mentions they reserve judgement about Mac OS because of lack of experience. But I would say the same decline is happening here. Especially Apple themselves seem infatuated with hiding things behind slow hover effects and way-too-subtle shades of grey.

This is hurting discoverable portions of the interface, probably in the name of looking sleek, and once you have learned that something exists somewhere behind that hover animation you can't easily target it because the actual target area is not visible and active until after you have moved the mouse in the exact area. Most egregious is the Music app as well as notification actions.

Edit: Another issue is the lack of distinct draggable area in window titles, never understood why one pixel makes the window draggable, then the one below which looks identical is not.
Properly taxing externalities on a global level would likely result in a giant reduction in fossil fuel burning and would indeed be a great thing.

I'm a bit confused as to why you think nuclear power would result in a lower standard of living though.
Yes, it's perfectly expected for females (on average) to give a lot of value to "useless" demonstrations of fitness when selecting a mate. The peacock exists.

But it's also perfectly expected for a male, if he's aware of these innate traits, when selecting a female partner, if he's looking for more important things other than looks and physical attractiveness, to give more "points" to different traits. In my case, intelligence was factor number 1. If she reaaally needs that stupid ring, she's out. In the end I got myself a PhD girlfriend, that is way smarter than me, and with whom I can have conversations way into my 80s. Mission accomplished.

> They would power on and you could type on them, but they wouldn’t do much else

Yup, sounds like what happens when you power on a minitel. They are essentially thin clients as far as I know. Most setups I've seen had these plugged into the same outlet as a nearby phone. You would power on the minitel, pick up the phone and dial the phone number of a remote server ("3615" was the common one). Text would start appearing on the minitel with a landing page that acted as a service index and where you would be able to type in the name of the service you wanted to access, for instance SNCF to book train tickets.

For instance this is a low quality video of someone using the 3611 phonebook in 2009: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS3DazMR3QY

There seems to be a few other phone numbers that you can still dial, hosted by individuals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2mgDSBWOxI
Most people who live the works of Beethoven aren't opining that they wish he took more risks in his work. They respect his canon for what it is. Some people are very glad we've moved on to new and different music and that's OK. Some people think it's trash and noise and classical music is real music. And that's ok, too. I don't mean to offend you. I think this is a universal dynamic in a field as subjective as art and entertainment.
Just a couple days ago I set up a site with GitHub Pages and used a very similar setup.

I learned about envsubst in the process which let me fill in values here and there. This is the rough way the homepage works.

GitHub’s newer version of pages that lets you deploy via GitHub Actions rather than being forced into using Jekyll is just so amazing. I have converted a bunch of static sites to using it as hosting.
For a NodeJS app, could you remove something like nodemon by using this? That could make this appealing.
This planetary theory could just be a theory that has “unclear data at the time”, the time being now. Or it could not be. All I’m saying is we have to do the research and double check the evidence for it to be disproven.

Just saying that anyone who says “there’s resistance in the scientific community” can be right or wrong. The COVID vaccine rollout and subsequent confirmation of large amounts of vaccine injury was certainly a good case study. Happened just 24 months ago. There was lots of “resistance” until the papers confirmed a lot of what the naysayers were saying on day 30, but the papers arrived on day 300
What an amazing article. I can't believe I missed it when he wrote it.

I followed Rust in the very early days and definitely came away with the sense in this article. I would have said (and may have said to some people) that Graydon is really great, but that the exciting things about Rust weren't the things he liked or cared about; basically the expressivity and zero cost abstractions sections of this article.

But reading the article he linked about first class modules, I think that seems pretty good, and I think he's definitely right about making borrowing "second class" without explicit lifetimes (or at least discouraging them more so than the language does today), and about existential types (I'm always surprised I don't see these more in library APIs).

I also had no idea he wanted built in bignums. In pre-1.0 (and pre-cargo) rust, I created a very incomplete library for that, and would have loved to have it built in instead. Also yeah, decimal literals would be excellent.

But I didn't find the async vs. green threads section convincing. The green thread implementation wasn't a great fit at the time it existed, and I haven't seen anything since then that convinces me there was some great solution available to make it work better. Async isn't great in rust, but it's a much better fit, and I think it can be used well. I have hopes that best practices developing over time and maybe language features or changes can push people in a more sane direction of usage (once it becomes more clear what that should be).

Purslane is actually really tasty to eat in scrambled eggs or soup. It's a decent spinach replacement too. Leaves are tiny so it takes a bit of effort to harvest.

If you know you have it, break a bunch off, wash it in a bowl to clean it, and also to harvest the tiny black seeds - dump the water+seeds out where you want more.

It does literally grow like a weed, and it's pretty good for you, with a fair amount of ALA/EPA omega 3's for a plant and vitamin C.
There are electrically heated glass furnaces. They work by immersing electrodes in the molten glass, which is electrically conductive, if somewhat resistive. I imagine they could use gas for startup though. The use I saw for this was in making fiberglass from recycled glass cullet.
> it also significantly increased my productivity

But how? What were you doing that involved window placement or positioning that "makes you more productive"? I just don't see how these activities, in the context of doing day-to-day work, could shave off more than a few minutes a day.

"Significantly" implies to me some double-digit percentage increase in the ability to accomplish tasks, and I just can't see how a window manager could possibly be responsible for such a thing.
> The good part is there's no more brushes to wear out and no dry seal needed so the motor can now be oil cooled from the inside as well, but to me it raises the big question about the power losses incurred by the energy that's transferred to the rotor via induction versus the previous direct contact via brushes and slip rings.

Slip ringed motors can be perfectly oil cooler as well. And you will need oil seals and drains in under any circumstances you use oil cooling.
> China's adoption of Christmas and Christmas-like festivities for retail purposes is my favourite example

Indeed. Bring back Saturnalia!
Right. The wall has to continue to be cooled -- if it reaches the temperature of the melt, it's ruined -- so there's always some heat loss. And if the electrolyte freezes you're also in trouble.

> start cutting back these lunatic outgrowth that are only possible by allowing companies to externalize the long-term costs their products cause

Note that while properly taxing those externalities is the theoretically perfect solution, in practice calculating the costs is so infeasible it would paralize our economy, particularly if we don't allow grandfathering in previous goods, practices, foods, etc.

Merely assessing a particular food type for long term health costs is a 20 year £500 million study.

I didn't say they are lying. But it's very easy to cherry pick and arrange the looks of things. The kind of stuff you avoid when you are actually seeking truth.

Let me just suggest you that if you are going to take marketing material at face value, be my guest, but I suspect you are in for some fun rides.

And good luck convincing people with (arguments coming from) marketing material too. I suspect this won't work with many people seeking more robust stuff.

Most oil is not recycled. We know how to do it for all uses, but that doesn't mean we can. The energy costs make is not useful. If we had an infinite source of free energy we know how to recycle CO2 and h2o back into hydrocarbons.
You can also make iron by direct reduction with hydrogen. IIUC, this is actually more energy efficient (with green hydrogen) than direct electrolytic reduction. And electrolysers for hydrogen are getting cheap enough that running them intermittently will make sense.
The problem is the majority of a tree's weight is water; to turn a Kg of carbon into tree requires about 1.8 Kg of water (that's from memory but it's order-of-magnitude right). This isn't necessarily a non-starter but it's a huge practical problem with trees in particular (IIRC bamboo is a better candidate).
If my understanding is right, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed isn't exactly a rolling release correct? It is creating a snapshot at regular intervals (weekly? Or monthly) and NOT updating packages which have updates.

This means irrespective of you having only updates for 100 packages, it will update all your 1500 packages (Or the number of packages that you have installed on the system).

Can someone confirm this? Because if this is true, that is such a waste.
> People keep saying "airborne" as if that's the only route of transmission

No. I am saying "airborne" as in the WHO issued a blanket statement that Covid was NOT airborne and the domain experts who asserted that it did indeed spread that way were crackpots.

Does the WHO's statement, "FACT: #Covid19 is NOT airborne", ring a bell?

> there's some evidence

I do tend to agree with you, but just to note that both the approaches you listed for this are more recent than the decisions rust made on this. It's not "good approaches to modular runtimes were already rock solid, why didn't they consider them?". It's "people have done promising work on this in the last decade, maybe rust could figure out how to incorporate it in some way moving forward".
