> datacenter generally doesn’t have a GPU

this use case is broken in X11 since a very long time, because to make this work well you don't just need some form of network transparency in the network manager but also remote rendering for OpenGL and Vulcan

> Software rendering is a regression t

But in most cases it's not happening, because you don't render on the server for most applications you render on a client which interacts with a server.

> and Javascript apps seem to be the way the industry is avoiding it (with the browser as a remote display server).

Today many JS apps are not thin clients they are often quite complete applications, but lets ignore that for a moment.

I'm not sure what exactly you are imagining, but as far as I can tell the only way to make this kind of remote rendering you are implying work in general would be by making X11 a GUI toolkit with some form of cross OS stable interface and it also would be the only supported GUI toolkit and any fancy GPU rendering (e.g. games) would fundamentally not work. There is just no way this would ever have worked.

The reason the industry mostly abandoned network transparency not just for remote display servers but also in most other places is because it's just not working well in practice. Even many of the places which do still use network transparency (e.g. network file systems) dent to run into unexpected issues due software happen to not work well with the changed reliability/latency/throughput characteristics this introduces.

Whoa. That's fascinating. I never knew this was a thing. Thanks for the details!

> could probably be used as the basis for some kind of presentation or article about how data-driven design or decision-making can go very wrong

Lol, exactly!
Fully agree. To add to this:

I initally had the assumption (no idea why) that I was supposed to spend most of my time standing if I had a standing desk. Initially I thought standing desks were not for me because I'd start to feel tired after 20-30 minutes. I've now learned that a far more effective approach for back pain and general good posture is to vary your position every 20-30 mins. i.e. got from standing to sitting, or sitting to kneeling (if your setup supports it). The more viable postures you can use, the better.

To enable this, I have invested in an Hag Capisco chair, which supports multiple postures: https://store.flokk.com/uk/en-gb/products/hag-capisco Again, I initially thought it wasn't for me until I realised how it was meant to be used. The intention is to mostly sit on it with the small of your back unsupported, like you're on a stool, but with the option to relax and lean back when you get tired. I now spend very little time in the traditional sitting posture and change regulary to sitting sideways, backwards, or even kneeling on the chair. It's not for everyone but it's made a huge positive difference for me. Places that sell these will often let you try them or hire them for a few weeks to see if you like them. I'd strongly recommend having a go.

Additionally as others have mentioned, having a standing mat is a big help. I used to find that the soles of my feet would become uncofortable quite quickly. The solution I am using now is an Aeris Muvmat https://en.aeris.de/products/aeris-muvmat-schwarz-ohne-bezug which appears to be flat, but actually has irregular hard lumps under the surface. It's designed to mimic the feeling of tree roots on a forest floor. It encourages you to keep moving your feet around without you really relaising you're doing it, effectively massaging your feet slowly, so the circulation keeps going and the soles of your feet don't get tired. Thsi has been really effective for me, so highly recommended.
Nah. Power tripping moderators were always the norm in forums. It's HN that's kind of unusual because of dang.

Meth is really bad. Having to ask the pharmacist for Sudafed is not that big of a deal.

The prior situation where the cold medicine that's out in the middle of the store is ineffective was worse IMO because people reasonably assume that if they're selling it then it should work. If you tell them that they have to ask the pharmacist, they'll just do that and get something that works.
In the same manner that parts of the NSA are interested in secure cryptography as opposed to breaking it, parts of the Navy were interested in anonymizing traffic as opposed to de-anonymizing.
Yep, this is how I have the current setup:

1) "main" router connected to a FTTC line

2) "secondary" router connected to an older (and slower) DSL line

3) "tertiary" router connected via 4G SIM

What I do now is simply take the cable out of the "main" router and connect it to the "secondary" one, and if also this one has no connection (cut cable, it happened three or four times in the last couple of years) connect it to the "tertiary" one.

As said, the issue is only if for whatever reasons I am not there, the A/B/C/D rotary selector box would be a simple solution that anyone present could be instructed to use, while connecting and disconnecting cables can be more difficult to explain over the phone.

The hypothetical device I was looking for would be an automated version of that.
Thanks for clarifying. That is indeed surprising and you are probably right.

I think it's difficult to dissociate this from the "how much can a banana cost?" style harmful ignorance. It makes sense to me that a woman who feels like she experienced sexism at the workplace from men have a poor opinion of the men there. Should she not say as such to make an appearance of neutrality, when she didn't experience a neutral or egalitarian environment?

Dual feed power line, one for home electrics, one for immersion heater. Store excess renewably generated energy in household hot water tanks during the day, to be used in the evening in place of fossil-fuel generated supply, which also evens out load peaks as a side effect. This also works well with home solar.
There is a very obvious reason why “going on an adventure for mediocre pay” would be both more feasible and appealing, to members of a financially advantaged group.

"Hung" is what you do to a side of beef. TFA said it right; criminals were hanged.

"You will be taken from this place to another place, and thence to a place of execution, where you will be hanged by the neck until dead."

The penalty for common traitors was to be hanged, drawn and quartered. The hanging was not until death; after dangling for a while, you were cut down and your limbs were attached to horses, which were then driven apart, causing all of your joints to be dislocated. You were then cut into four pieces, which were carried to the corners of the realm, and displayed as a warning to others not to engage in treason.

High-born traitors had it easy; they had the privilege of being beheaded instead. If they were lucky, they got a skilled executioner, who could strike off their head with a single blow. Lady Jane Grey was not lucky.
It’s probably important to note that as I understand it, these attacks have generally been Firefox zero-day exploits that have made its way in because the Tor Browser is based on Firefox ESR with patches.
They significantly increased major versions frequency, transition from 9 to 10 took 7 years, and now they release major version every year.
Not really. Probably you can find some case where that is true, such as small towns that formerly used now-depleted aquifers, but on a population-weighted basis your typical California city has completely separate rights and infrastructure. Many of the municipal systems have very superior rights, way upstream. Our ancestors were idiots but they knew the rules of the game.

Love Tails, but I haven't used it in ten years. I have had Tails and Qubes disposable VMs on my mind though.

I switched off of Qubes last year to my own Alpine chroot with a hand crafted kernel and initrd that lives only in memory. I find turning off the computer when I'm finished and having it forget everything to be a very peaceful way to compute. I owe the internet a write up.

I feel like ramfs for root filesystems is an underused pattern more broadly. "Want to upgrade? Just reboot. Fallback? Pick a different root squashfs in the grub menu"

ARM actually has a pretty good story for how they can undercut RISC-V prices in that they can design the ISA rather than accepting the decisions of a committee. That committee used to make good choices, but things like the vector ISA seem more suspect.

the book Pegasus by laurent richard chronicles the challenges the journalists who brought us the pegasus leaked list with 50k + targets had to go through.

I work in a giant place, 100k+ employees, 150+ years of documents, layers upon layers of processes, presence in all countries, heavy regulation, successive mergers.

There is simply no way to make it work perfectly. We can do migration upon migration but that has never seemed to simplify anything (the joke in my team is as soon as something starts working, we migrate half of it away to a non working solution and end up with two half systems - this has proven true so many times we dont even take it as a joke anymore).

We embrace the chaos, and focus on concrete client problems, and collect the fees for service well provided. No point in trying to make it make sense anymore or to micro optimize productivity. We have a rough estimate that it takes a year for an experienced new joiner to be truly productive, and we simply pay well so they don't leave before doing their first big contribution and basta.

I work concurrently on two identical systems doing the same things on paper but with important difference in details, because the current political war made the american system win over the asian system, while knowing the asian system simply handles better our 13 market quirks than the american one that was made for a simple single market. We slowly complexify it to reach feature parity, deploy it in markets with low stakes while we improve the asian system continuously for the hundreds of high-paying clients. One day either we'll reach a point where a market that matters can finally be migrated, or the fact we make much profit in Asia will catch up with the global strategists and the asian system will start being proposed to solve (badly) the american problems.

It has never been thought by our strategists to keep two systems working well in their respective core markets at the global scale. So we migrate half of Asia and keep two systems working badly at the local scale.

I pity the intern joining in 1000 years though. We have no idea how the kraken will evolve after centuries...

Sorry, but I just don’t believe it’s a crisis when I can see that it pretty clearly isn’t a big enough crisis to stop growing horse food in the desert.

And not to pile on the infinite number of ways that California is a failure: but if you guys arent racing to build nuclear desalination plants, then I don’t believe you either.

Sorry but I’m getting pretty fed up with hearing that I need to live in a crisis, but that the people telling me in need to live in a crisis don’t.

They just changed the versioning scheme; it used to be that e.g. 9.3 -> 9.4 was a major version (i.e. can't be upgraded in-place). Starting with PG 10 major versions are now 10 -> 11, etc. I don't believe the major release cadence itself changed that much

Originally Cyrix did not license from Intel. Intel sued for patent infringement and lost badly enough they had to give Cyrix a few million to settle their counter claims.

Cyrix has also sued Intel over their Pentium chips. In the end the results of all the lawsuits are cross-licensing deals.

For what it's worth, the opinion isn't universal. As a user I like the Haiku approach of not even having "user accounts" and on Linux I have 'sudo nopasswd ALL' on. Coddling everyone and sandboxing everything without any options to get that stuff out of the way isn't acceptable to me. Security or even privacy aren't always my top priority, and I should have that freedom available to me, even if you want the option not to have it.
So, China and right-wing media are both trying to leverage it for their own purposes. Interesting.

What other option is there in death valley, miles up a random road?

Your only options are asking someone else driving by (happens 2-3x a day on some roads), asking ham radio and seeing if anyone in a repeater radius is feeling helpful, or limping to a main road slowly.

Obviously circumstances vary. When I was in death valley for 9 days, I had enough supplies to sit for 14. So if I needed help on day 2, I can give a helpful sincere ham radio operator a chance to help. If another car passed me in that time frame, I'd talk with them and setup some kind of 'hey, check on me on your way back' system if they were returning this way. And so on.

If I had a breakdown with 36 hours of water remaining, I'd treat things pretty differently and possibly be using ham to get them to relay emergency info.. since technically that's my only choice.. I own an android without sat service and don't any satellite product.

I personally think you can trust ham radio for a favor pretty well. And for an emergency even more so.
I use xfce as my main desktop. It is lightweight, functional, familiar, and it gets the job done.

At one point in time I used it because I couldn't afford a decent computer and XFCE used fewer resources (so my slow computer would be a little more responsive). Eventually I went back to it because it was familiar and it gets the job done.
So I definitely prefer this, and this is used to be a sort of unspoken rule in Canadian law. The law just had this bias built into for the "little guy" in the fight.

Well. There's Clark's first law - "When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong." - which isn't directly applicable here, but looks awfully close.

One of the greatest fallacies of the modern identitarian movement is that every subsection of society, no matter how you slice and dice it, must reflect the composition of the society as a whole. There's no reason why this should be the case, because different cultural subgroups value and prefer different things.

"Too many white scientists" carries exactly the same amount of meaning as "too many black NFL players" (over half are black, compared to 13.6% of the population) or "too many male roofers" (95% are male) or "too many female special ed teachers" (84.2% are female); that is to say, it carries no meaning at all.

Once you free yourself from the plausible-sounding but false idea that the composition of subgroups must necessarily reflect the composition of the whole, a lot of today's racial divides and those who fan those flames are evident for what they are: those with agendas that benefit from pitting people against one another.
