I gave Wayfire a shot a bit earlier in the year, but as I am a Dvorak typist and <https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/issues/1601> is marked as "wontfix", I decided to stick to Awesome for the time being. It did run like a dream, though, even on my ancient potato, so if the keybinding issue does get fixed at some point I may well switch over.
(Hi, author of the post/article here)

Yes, `light-dark()` is very specific in what it can do … but it’s not the end goal. The end goal is to have a generic function – something like `schemed-value()` – that can respond to a plentitude of `color-scheme` values and return more than just `<color>` values.

Reality is, though, that browsers don’t have support for custom `color-scheme` values (it’s explicitly forbidden in the spec, for now) [^1] and that CSS parsers need to know ahead of time what they are about to parse [^2].

By narrowing things down in feature scope, you can use this convenience method now, instead of needing to wait a few months/years until the rest is figured out.

Once `schemed-value()` becomes a thing, `light-dark()` can become syntactic sugar for it:

```
light-dark(<color>, <color>); = schemed-value(light <color>, dark <color>);
```

I think this is premature optimisation. LLMs are the general tool here - in principle we should try first to adjust LLMs to search instead of doing it the other way around.

But really I think that LLMs should use search as just one of their tools - just like humans do. I would call it Tool Augmented Generation. And also be able to reason through many hops. A good system answer the question _What is the 10th Fibonacci number?_ by looking up the definition in wikipedia, writing code for computing the sequence, testing and debugging it and executing it to compute the 10th number.
It's the same pattern. It just doesn't need an elaborate coding recipe from an instruction book. The essence of the pattern is there, but since the boilerplate is all gone it's almost unrecognizable.
Power losses mainly. I did 24V wiring on campers and boats, and it's ridiculous how much copper you have to put in and then still have issues with the voltage drop.

110 or even better 220V AC is just so much better in that respect. If only people wouldn't call a diode bridge and a couple of capacitors a driver. Which is what you'll find in most of LED bulbs, and which is why they die so fast.
Assuming windows, you could make your own dll that intercept calls to the API to get the inputs.

But even if a game intercepts all key stroke, it may be because of normal gameplay.

No, there are dedicated high-speed "mux chips" for this[0]. You can get them with integrated redrivers to compensate for the inevitable signal quality degradation, if needed.

Once you get into the USB 4 range you're going to need all four lanes anyways, so you can just do the permutation in software.

Don't be silly, we're in the era where engineers are both smart enough to wrangle massive technical goals yet also need many layers of babysitting from their betters.

You may know what a CRDT is, but (apparently) the Trello board is beyond you.
The correct link is https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/a/273268/94821, which points directly to the answer.
CRT displays are still being made. These are small for specialized uses. They are still being refurbished too.

To me, a good plasma display offers a lot of what people like about the CRT. Phosphorus glowing in tubes are fast and high contrast. And maybe the micro-LED displays will be similar. Pixels lighting up, are still nicer than trying to block always on bright light.

Those things said, people like the CRT.

One mounted in a cabinet, for example, will deliver a really compelling experience! About the only thing I can see competing is a laser projection of some kind.

Really high refresh, interlaced CRT rasters have a look too. So does higher refresh rate, progressive scanned motion.

Maybe this ends up like vinyl. We have not lost the tech yet. Maybe there will be a return like we have seen for vinyl.

And here is an idea for someone:

Make the shadow mask on glass and enclose it in a vacuum, but not big like we need for an electron gun. Just big enough to enclose the phosphor.

Then, from the rear, excite the phosphor with lasers. Or even a few groups of them to get a full, high speed raster made up of multiple smaller ones all running in parallel. Think 4 rectangular displays stacked together with their longer edges touching.

Doing that keeps the deflection angle down.

And the lasers can be enclosed. But it won't be necessary to pull a high vacuum for the whole thing. Just the thin, front, phosphor portion. And that could be replaced when it gets tired, and or when burned in, or scratched up.

Registration becomes a software problem.

Good displays have .01x inch phosphor dot pitches. Violet light is orders better at 0.000015 inches. Light just outside visible would work great.

The phosphor glass assembly could be recycled or refurbished and relaxed vacuum requirements means avoiding toxic glass.

I bet a display like that would deliver the CRT experience and then some.

Someone go make the thing. I want one.

Or, maybe I hit the lottery! Then I will make my own.

Sorry for the harsh words but you don't have any idea what you are talking about.

Some examples: managing patches for applications is doable with NixOS. With overlays they survive updates and if they no longer apply, build fail before they can have production impact. Doing the same with docker is a nightmare and different for every dockerfile without a common interface around it.
Ansible takes the previous state of the system into account which is terrible if you want to manage it fully declarative. Worst case in NixOS you do a reboot and your config applies almost no matter the previous state.

And that you can leave something running without maintenance is naive and it will start to slowly rot.

my impression of the mozilla firefox bugtracker too - you might be taken aback by the lifetime of some long standing bugs, but what is confirmed, stays open.

You'll collect low effort comments, but at least it avoids duplicates and the discussion is preserved in-thread.

That impression lead me to meaningfully contribute in the bugtracker.
(Hi, author of the post/article here)

> This solves one tiny aspect of the larger problem in a non-scalable way that will inevitably lead to bloat and inflexibility. It's a really a naive approach that hasn't taken into account design at scale, nor the future of where design is heading.

Note that `light-dark()` isn’t the end goal here. As discussed within the CSS WG, the end goal is to have a generic function `schemed-value()` to give you what you want.

I realize this wasn’t included in the post, so I’ve added a new section to the post with this information: https://www.bram.us/2023/10/09/the-future-of-css-easy-light-...

I hope this addresses your concern. If not, feel free to let me (or the CSS WG for that matter) know.

I think ironically there has been an "AI-anti-hype hype", with people like Gary Marcus trying to blow up every single possible issue into a deal breaker. Most of the claims in this article are based on tests performed only on GPT-3, and researchers often seem to make tests in a way that proves their point - see an earlier comment from me here with an example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37503944

I agree there has been many attention-grabbing headlines that are due to simple issues like contamination. However, I think AI has already proved its business value far beyond those issues, as anyone using ChatGPT with a code base not present in their dataset can attest.

I feel the need for ECC is a bit overstated, probably confused by listening too much to people in the server space. In servers, ECC is critical because servers simply have more RAM than PCs do. You can easily find systems with 32 sticks of RAM. If you roll 32 dice, odds of a rare freak error is a lot bigger than if you roll 2. It's the same reason why you probably don't need RAID on a computer with one or two disks. Stick 48 disks in a machine however, and you're a fool to go without it (or a plan at least). It's why you don't need an automatic fire suppression system in or homelab, because the odds of a fire in one or a few PSUs is fairly small, but stick a few thousands in a room and suddenly it's a very real problem.

That, and most memory problems in PCs tend to be from dodgy overclocking or just bad sticks rather than cosmic rays. ECC won't really save you from that.
It's not quite as good as compile-time or type-based guarantees, but IME configuration errors with Spring are almost always flagged up immediately on application startup. As long as you have at least one test that initializes the application context (I.e. @SpringBootTest) then this should be caught easily
Past a certain point a lot of business execs are in it for the achievement itself and don’t know how to stop. Sort of like an athlete who is past their prime but refuses to retire. They aren’t in the game for the money but.. for the game.

Of course most of them also like to live very comfortably and spend it. I guess once the $$ has a B in it maybe it becomes essentially impossible to spend it all and the money a theoretical concept at best.

In both america and Bangladesh, moreso in the latter, secularism is a structured form of elite oppression against the masses.

Especially in a context where we have increased security policies for decades now while simultaneously living in the safest time there ever was. People even start to make up dangers which in some instances can only be explained as a pathological condition.

And no, these security policies had no hand in increasing security if you look at the actual data. They were mostly political to alleviate imagined fears.
Good idea to add to the comparisons page!

The openapi-typescript package is a library for generating types from openapi spec, similar to the openapicmd typegen command provided by openapi-stack.

The new openapi-typescript-fetch seems similar to openapi-client-axios, but using fetch instead of axios for a more lightweight approach.

Both libraries are great and well aligned with goals of openapi-stack!

In addition to type generation and consuming APIs, https://openapistack.co provides tools for building and mocking API backends with the openapi-backend library, as well as a general cli tool to work with openapi files and invoke APIs via the command line.

The core mission of https://openapistack.co is to bring together tools for an end to end full stack toolkit for building and consuming typesafe REST APIs.

IMHO that’s much uglier than using caps.

Sometimes when I use C++, I will namespace them however:

namespace constants {
static constexpr int name = 42;
}
…
int x = constants::name;

The exact name of the namespace would depend on the use and could be something more descriptive.
The adapter would still screw into the 220V bulb socket, but you could then just replace the LED part when it burns out, rather than having to throw out the voltage converter as well.
It's not built on high test scores - while academics do benchmark models on various tests, all the many people who built up the hype mostly did it based on their personal experience with a chatbot, not by running some long (and expensive) tests on those datasets.

The tests are used (and, despite their flaws, useful) to compare various facets of model A to model B - however, the validation whether a model is good now comes from users, and that validation really can't be flawed much - if it's helpful (or not) to someone, then it is what it is, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
> The risks of nuclear power going critical are far smaller than the benefits from not having to use coal for example.

That is a strawman argument. Coal has generally been uneconomical since the advent of combined cycle gas turbines where gas infrastructure exists. Today renewables are vastly undercutting both.

Trying to frame it as a choice between nuclear and coal is only made because nuclear does not stack up against the real competition in 2023.

> I forget what a life saved is worth in engineering terms. Something like 1 or 10 million per capita I think. $200 billion in cleanup only needs to save ~200-2,000 lives to be justified.

Or we just build power generation without those third party risks. I do not understand why you are trying to frame a $200 billion cleanup bill as "nothing to see, move along sheeple!".

> I'm cool with the idea that they should fix their pipe. I'm not cool with it being treated like a big deal without pretty solid evidence that the deal is big.

Almost all nuclear accidents final hole in the Swiss cheese is some sort of loss of cooling. When the backup power fails due to negligent maintenance that is a big deal.

Fukushima led to us building stockpiles of backup generators together with the necessary electric connections allowing us us to fly them in with helicopters and connect them if the primary ones fail. Saying that failure in the primary ones is "fine, nothing to see" is sticking your head in the sand.

Sorry, the assumption I left out is that whoever is running the keylogger would see you logging into a "valuable" account during their logging and then try to access it. Since it'd be a new account with nothing on it, there's nothing for the attacker to really compromise, but you could get a notification letting you know someone new logged in, which would let you know that someone successfully captured you logging in.
Oof. That is not an acceptable way to treat the issue. It’s one thing to say you don’t the time & cycles, but it’s another to WONTFIX it twice with a clear usability problem.
Yes, hype exists and some things we thought were promising turned out not to be. However, if anyone is making the case that we know enough today to claim that AI is mostly hype, I think that's foolish.

For me, one of defining CRT qualities was the continuous, immediate, no-lag nature of display due to the scanning ray. Think of stuff like border color effects on ZX Spectrum. Probably it is possible somehow to approximate it, but probably would need a custom circuit to drive the panel.
That's not going to save you when you try to plug in the device-side connector with the computer-side already connected (and therefore already applying power to the cable).
Lots of practice, use your thumb to hit the edge of the coin to give you more control, aim for a specific spot so you use the same amount of force and control the amount of times it flips. You can also use a surface that absorbs more so the coin is less likely to flip after hitting it.
Hot take: @ might've been a good alternative.
When you submit a form with a password and the password is wrong, you're usually taken back to the same form with the same password. The browser is showing you a form that, if it were submitted, would update the same saved password. Yet the popup dialog asking you whether you want to save the previous obviously wrong value is still persisting.

Not neccessarily because spinning and bouncing coins are often much more biased then flipped coins. (Unequal weight distribution on the side can bias a spinned coin while it doesn not bias a flipped coin. There are a couple of studies on it too.)

Easier said than done though.
