The reason cable is asymmetrical is because cable plants weren't designed for two-way communication. Cable originally was a one way broadcast system with a tiny upstream path they eventually leveraged for Video-On-Demand/Pay-per-view (VoD/PPV).

I used to work with cable modems, and it's miraculous how they got this huge amount of performance out of their physical plant by basically hacking on their stuff until it worked. The cable industry has this thin layer of really smart guys and a huge number of porn hound meatheads.

I mean, did you know cable internet is basically token ring? Seriously. Not sure if that's for all implementations or just Comcast.

These wires were never meant to do anything close to this...but here we are.
It's not just about bugs. It's also about functionality X has that Wayland won't.
One of the easiest fixes for Next page sizes is pruning unused prop data. It’s super common, even in relatively professional settings. I think it isn’t intuitive that unused data will be sent. The whole tree shaking and optimization pipeline seems like it should handle stuff like that, but sure enough, it doesn’t (for good reason, though).
Tangentially, who else misses the time when React was just a side project by FB? Increasingly it seems to be led by Vercel who makes profit from React-based solutions.
OBS is absurd bloat. What's the wayland equivalent of `ffmpeg -f x11grab`?
It’s worth mentioning that the linked article was written over a decade ago.

- Even today, 8-bit MCUs can be significantly cheaper than 32-bit MCUs. A lot of microcontrollers are used for very simple tasks that simply don’t need anything more than what an 8-bit MCU can do. Although, these days it looks like 16-bit MCUs are comparable or sometimes cheaper when looking at Mouser and DigiKey? RL78-S1 may or may not count as 16-bit. I’m not familiar with it, and seeing some conflicting info.

- Plenty of legacy designs certainly continue to get manufactured, since updating the design and software to support a more advanced/cheaper processor would both require requalification of the product and require engineering time.

- If you need the absolute lowest power consumption, a simpler, smaller, slower core can be helpful.

- Existing expertise/familiarity
I once had a discussion with a management that thought it’s fine not to implement access control for GraphQl because no one knows the endpoint. I explained it’s possible to figure out the endpoint through the Network tab in the console. They assumed it’s fine because that’s too technical.
You could make a multi-tasking os with no memory protection (kind of like AmigaOS), and with a partially posix api. Is that still Linux?
None of them are as intelligent as us. Maybe that's the difference.

Sounds like someone should offer a "municipal broadband as a service" product.

A place I lived earlier had fiber, but only by Comcast. No other competition in the area, so Comcast charged whatever they wanted.
Deals abound for 4xes. I was originally planning on doing a custom order for a 2-door 2.0T gas-only model, but after I test drove a 4xe at a dealer near DC, I decided to buy it instead. It's great fun to drive a silent Jeep, it has power on tap with all three motors running, and with below MSRP pricing it was too hard to say no. I can do my 20 mile commute on a charge, barely, even after installing 35s.
Sorry, can't sort it in a column. I'm totally uninterested in everything that ever happened the first of january. I want to see the mails from last night on top.
The reason for avoiding spaces in file names is because of broken bash scripts, that don’t quote their arguments. Meaning about 99 out of 100 of them.

Not that avoiding such names solves the problem, it just makes the RCE vulnerability more latent.
Analytic number theory has seen a fair number of such conjectures. The first that comes to mind is the Pólya conjecture [0]. The conjecture stated that for any positive integer N > 2, there are at least as many positive integers less than N with an odd number of prime factors as there are with an even number.
The smallest counterexample is N = 906,150,258.

I knew a dude who was really into porting GNU tools to QNX after seeing the floppy demo. I think all that effort was lost after they closed it up. Still, I have this sneaking feeling that we've kinda lost the plot as far as software goes... so much can be done with small systems.
But this was a timer on a normal phone. It's pretty useless to tell me it's less than one minute left until the eggs are done. Do I have time to do a bit more dishes or will the phone ring in one second? Who knows?
Are you complaining about ads or data? The only way to avoid giving them data is to not use them, which also lets you avoid their ads and you don’t need a subscription. Simple solution.
One of the reasons this is so hard BTW is that the plant has to also support all that legacy equipment that's still connected and running. There are people with cable that haven't upgraded their box for 50 years and never will. You don't want to impact their service, period. No calls, no truck rolls.

I believe you, naijaboiler.

Posts like Jenda's are depressingly unimaginative.

I wish HNers, and people in general, would learn some biology, and use some critical thinking to imagine that when something doesn't fit their very basic mental model, that's probably because there's exponentially more to know/learn(!). Maybe then they would stop thoughtlessly regurgitating such basic misconceptions.

Biology has so much complexity, but so many people want to insist calories in MUST balance calories out, without any exceptions. As if humans are just burning our foods at 100% efficiency in a bomb calorimiter. Biology isn't this boring.

Forgetting digestion and a host of other variably efficient processes, Mitochondria produce ATP from various possible substrates. These substrates are not equally efficient at producing ATP. So just here, in the simplest form, you have a mechanism by which input energy can be wasted or conserved.

Separately, when demand for ATP has suddenly ceased, Mitochondria can change modes to deterministically waste huge amounts of energy to avoid over-producing ROS. So even in the same cell, even provided the same substrates, efficiently can be dialed up and down rapidly.

And we haven't dug deeply into anything. There are so incredibly many processes with highly variable efficiency.

There's much more that we have yet to learn than that we know. Don't underestimate the complexity of biology.

It is not a strange premise. It is the security model that for example Android uses. Unix security model is dated, and it is good that steps are taken in this direction.
You are wondering why other people didn't invest more of their time working for free for the abstract goal of moving someone else's vision forward.

If they wanted buy in the logical thing would be to provide a something usable and feature complete with wlroots like library inside of the first 5 years rather than producing something nobody would use, claiming it is usable, and then slowly evolving it towards usability slower than duke nukem forever while continually claiming it's ready to rock until the lie slowly becomes increasingly true.

I'm developing a visual tool aimed at improving the way we organize notes. At https://www.cmaps.io/ platform, each page is represented by a node on a graph, allowing related notes to be interconnected. The platform is nearing completion, and I would greatly appreciate any feedback.
Some examples:

Star Wars Family Tree: https://www.cmaps.io/maps/4a3808c4-876c-4ba4-9b0a-8637e69fb4...

Context: I'm diving deep into my master's now and realized a bunch of stuff I'm learning kinda connects back to my bachelor's. Bummer is, I've lost most of my old notes. That's how cmaps.io popped into my mind! Think of it as a rad spot to dump all your notes and see them connect in a cool visual way.
And then, MS bought GitHub, OpenAI...

Yeah, in limited ways, the wayland functionality is there. But as soon as you step off the most-popular-path even a teensy bit, it breaks.

Depends on the country. Also: not a chance for most of them. Main reasons:

- There's no charging infrastructure to speak of in most countries
Occasionally a newly sharpened knife when you've only seen dull ones can be dangerous too. If you have only ever encountered dull knives, you get used to the "press and wait til it breaks through and slams uncontrollably" to the point where you can mostly* get by, but you're not as used to safe handling when just getting ready to cut.

Sharp is still safer in general!

Wow, that is wild. I’m going to intentionally not address the extremely disturbing pretense of all of this, but that shows some wild innovation. Literally making war machines from scraps and salvage.

Whatever their motives, I don’t see this ending well for them. It seems as though Israel has decided this is the end of Gaza, and I believe they are sufficiently infuriated, motivated, and emboldened to accomplish their goals.
The point of the dissertation is to become certified as a PhD. Most supervisors are not open to the idea of stepping outside the norm. Which is downright tragic, as research should be all about that.

My writing was actively criticized wherever I tried to use simple vocabulary. It was heartbreaking, and made me resent academia to this day.
386 is actually somewhat slower clock for clock than 286 for same 16bit code. So no, no optimizations. For example https://web.itu.edu.tr/kesgin/mul06/intel/instr/movs.html, 486 was only slightly optimized, it was Pentium where they finally started working on IPC.

I found that setting language to UK instead of US avoids a lot of the goofiness like YY/DD/MM and 12h time. Setting the language to my native tongue instead of English just doesn’t work for all the industrial terms.

That last point is my main gripe. I’ve had many experiences where I’ve had a tab open on my phone editing text, change to another tab to refer to something for the text I’m editing, and change back to find the original tab had to be reloaded. Even changing between safari and apps. If the page/app isn’t set up to auto save drafts and the spot I’m working at its functionally useless to me on mobile now. Or I have to set up an awkward workflow where I regularly juggle between the two to ensure they both stay in memory which doesn’t always work. My phone is older, XS, so maybe that’s part of it

the lack-of-turbo button was included to enhance compatibility with older software that using timing tricks that relied on the clockspeeds of the older generations of processors. Those older processors would not have used the enhanced features of the new processors, just the backward compatible features. Turbo was a motherboard OEM feature, not a 386 feature. Otherwise, there was no reason not to run "turbo"

OK, so the FBI is on this. Are they doing something about the problem? Like finding these things, tearing them down, and finding what they're doing and where the data is going. Or are they just issuing press releases?

If someone managed to install something like this in a wall plate in an airport, they could be doing far worse things to the airport infrastructure. Homeland Security should be looking for these things, with people plugging testers into USB power outlets. If they talk on the data lines at all, there's something funny going on.

Went from Comcast (supposed) 900/20 Mbps connection to Google Fiber 2.0/1.0 Gbps connection. Unlike Comcast, I actually get the advertised speed with Google Fiber. I would frequently get no more than 70 Mbps down with Comcast. Data caps weren't a concern because their connection was too slow to be a problem. Cancelling my Comcast account took forever as they kept giving me the run around.

No, my premise is that it takes time to develop features, and what's considered "basic" both changes over time and varies by person.

For instance, I would argue that "basic functionality" today, established by browsers and phones more than 15 years ago, is the ability to sandbox applications and not treat them as all-powerful. X still doesn't have that today. Wayland had that as a basic design premise from the beginning.
I like the idea and the use of the new Browser FS. I agree with everyone about the importance of it being 'Linux' because Linux implies you can install stuff for Linux on it.
That's not true. I've had consistent hallucinations many times.

Power-only USB cables exist if you're still charging a device with a charge port other than USB-C. It does seem that part of the push for USB-C is to ensure that data connectivity is always available for in-/exfiltration.

I guess we should do away with memory protection as well. Filesystem permissions? Bah, they can go too, after all, a computer is generally used by a single person right?

The reality is that many users use untrusted applications that don't have access to home, ergo Flatpak. There are plenty of reasons why the free for all security model for X11 isn't suitable. Besides, that ship has well and truly sailed - most of the X11 devs have been working on Wayland for the better part of a decade now.
They install them in cars, airplanes, and airports already. I'd bet in the future we'll hear from some whistleblower about how three-letter agencies are using data available through those connections for surveillance purposes.
I believe that everyone has experienced this, but the reasons behind it, and what techniques may work, tend to be different for everyone. A lot of online content is very addictive.

You may want to investigate if there is a deeper reason behind your avoidance for studying. For example, uncertainty around "is this stuff actually useful" or "will I succeed" may create anxiety and avoidance and push you towards distractions, whatever they may be. You could then work on accepting or eliminating that uncertainty.

On the other hand, maybe it's much simpler and you're just addicted to some of the junk you find online, similar to how some people are addicted to porn.
Shrug. It's just a request, not an ultimatum or anything.
lol pre hooks world was fine. Hooks are great but react took over the world because of the clarity of class component lifecycles. If hooks were there from the start it wouldn’t have been as popular.

> Wayland is X12; it's designed and endorsed by the folks who worked on X11

That would make it a spiritual successor, but not X12.

Considering several comments - and PP's original issues - it also sounds like it isn't ready to become a candidate for X12 at this time.
