The lack of screen tearing is a big feature to me, but sometimes people get x11 to work without this being a problem.

The other feature for me is security. Sandboxes can access the wayland socket and run GUI stuff, without the ability to read the entire screen or run commands that effect outside of the sandbox.

The wayland socket is a unix socket, exists as a regular file. Gating access to the socket works like any other file.

X11 has some interesting issues here. It creates an "abstract socket". These exists as files on the file system, but they are not regular files.

An interesting exmaple: A sandbox that starts with a fresh root and bind mounts in only what is required. Even when you don't bind the socket into the sandbox, the sandbox can still access it!

There are ways to prevent sandboxes from accessing the x11 socket, but this is definitely not what I would have expected!

With wayland, if the socket is not bind'ed into the sandbox, it can't be accessed, it behaves as expected!

This might not seem that important, but these features bring Linux desktop out of the 1900s with regards to security. Software like flatpak would not be able to effectively sandbox GUIs at all without wayland, a feature other platforms have supported for at least a decade or more!

The Linux desktop isn't making great use of this and related technology yet, on the standard distro, by default, applications can read your GPG keys and other important data, or even delete it. Wayland is a step towards fixing this!
The Mathematical Association of America put together a documentary of John von Neumann in 1966, and they mentioned in it that this was the only footage they were able to find of him.
Is there anything in the article that makes you think "abuse of dominant market position", or simply a weird turn of phrase in the title?

why does this require trust_remote_code
I am not the OP. We kinda did see mass inflation recently, we did see billionaires getting richer by investing in things like farmland while everyone else saw their real wages go down due to lack of sufficient raises and inflation, etc.

So if I have to go between someone who can explain things that are happening and point at things that have just been observed in the real world and fancy credentials and unclear ideas, well, the credentials and $5 will buy you less than they did a few years ago.
> not (effectively) just the government paying wages on behalf of companies who don't want to pay for labor

Well the arguments is that there are jobs that aren't worth doing at the current minimum wage. Imagine someone working in a garage who might be willing to hire someone for a $2/hr to fetch tools for them, but at $15/hr they would just rather get up and walk across the shop themselves. $2/hr is enough to cover transportation to work, so the UBI is used to bridge that gap. There are existing programs like this now for the developmentally handicapped.

One of the main divisions of UBI is whether we require people to work no matter how demeaning (informed by the protestant work ethic) or whether it should guarantee people a certain level of dignity (informed by social welfare mindset).

Not taking sides, but this is a schism that everyone in these conversations should be aware of.

I don't understand why the video needs be so negative. Why dump on other videos? And unfairly so!

> Science educators love to make videos about relativity, but surprisingly few of them seem to understand what this stuff really means.

The two examples the video gives of science educators that don't "know what this stuff means" are Don Lincoln and Matt O'Dowd. Both have PhDs in physics. Lincoln was on the team that discovered the Higgs boson. O'Dowd is a professor at CUNY. They know what they're talking about.

Then the video gives as an example of a bad explanation the PBS Space Time on the speed of light. But that video makes pretty much the same argument. That the speed of light/causality falls out logically even if you don't postulate it. The author clearly didn't watch that video carefully https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msVuCEs8Ydo

I would have subscribed to this channel, but this tone is a bad look.
I hate to do the HN thing, but nextcloud has a feature to use yt-dlp (or whatever), feed it a url, it will put it in your folder. You can share the folder or the file, even with the same URI (the hash yt gives videos, I mean).

I've done this by hand a lot - I have probably a half TB of 480p rips from YouTube and Twitter, as well as a bunch from reddit - though reddit has always been a pain in the ass.

I say use something like nextcloud because there's turnkey Linux images available, so you only need a host that supports that feature to get started. Furthermore, once you have the video "local", in the future if some decentralized video sharing service launches you'll be 90% of the way there by merely having canonical links to content available publicly.

Oh my, you guys came from ’90s or ’00s with your Comic Sans. I myself forgot this font ever existed, I see it nowhere these days.

It’s beyond awful, just get yourself some link to Google Fonts at least, and explore the myriads of much better looking fonts in every possible way. That’s exactly the problem with aesthetics perception of the FOSS community, having this subjective ‘oh but I like it’ stand on absolutely mediocre shit. I’m very happy that by some (unknown to me) reason modern Gnome (45) looks (and works) so good.
Is there something like the opposite of this, that allows you to find names that don’t have meanings in any other language? Specifically, names that don’t have rude or controversial meanings.

You will have to convince the people who actually run these platforms that that is true if you want it to be a feature of reality. It seems only you are here speaking in hypothesis while everyone else is speaking about facts of the matter.

You know, instead of being rude and berating someone who makes a good faith effort to watch an 11 minute video to try and find your argument, you should instead just go ahead and just make your argument. I don't know why you'd expect me to spend my time trying to find a needle in your haystack.
Sometimes they're good and sometimes they're bad. I tend to have most faith the parties with the most interest ( :-) ) in the question - the borrower and the lender - are the best ones to manage the risk.

This sounds too good to be true. Assuming 50 work weeks per year, that's $88/hour+.

What's the downside to this job keeping people away?
So much is wrong with your starting point.

a) Microservices are a 20+ year old concept and for the right use cases are a better choice than monoliths. Likewise the reverse is true. Being successful with your architecture is all about being pragmatic and choosing the right tool for the job.

b) Don't fall into the trap of being obsessed about what is cool or not. No one really cares other than you and it isn't going to affect your career prospects despite this being a popular myth.

c) What does affect your career is being narrow minded, acting like you're smarter than other engineers and being closed off to other ideas. You should understand micro services, monoliths, 90s style SOA etc. You should understand everything. Why they were invented and their relative strengths and weaknesses. Being able to articulartly defend your architecture is a fundamental aspect of working in IT.
"Denoising" algorithms can't remove this kind of noise. It doesn't work like that. You're simply mistaken.

Generally the state of the art for adding noise to data is differential privacy or microaggregation. In the case of differential privacy it's typically gaussian or laplacian noise, but it is not a trivial application. Noise applied through microaggregation is not a mathematical function because microaggregation targets k in k-anonymity, and the "noise" can only be measured after treatment, through various distortion measures.

My company doesn't sell private data or facilitate the sale of private data. We improve privacy within organizations to reduce the risk of privacy leaks. Data brokers and ad targeters would have no interest in our software. But thanks for the condescending comment!

As one safety measure, compiling with -DFORTIFY_SOURCE > 0 will enable checks on the FD_SET etc macros:

Different trade, but a friend is shutting down his building business because he’s too old to keep doing it and he can’t find anyone to help. He just can find anyone who wants to do the work, apparently apprentices just don’t stick around. I jokingly asked the shortest stint anyone had and he said it was only a couple of months ago and it was less than 10 minutes. Showed up on site, he explained the deck they had to build, the kid said he was going to his truck to get his tools, and never came back. A couple of years at trade school and he didn’t seem interested in doing a minutes work.

I’ve another friend who is an electrician, with a few dozen people working for them. It’s not as dire as the story the builder told, but he does have similar sentiments about how hard it is to find new people.
If you're so worried about people getting the source code to it, you can just compile to WebAssembly.

Or you have a gap in your knowledge.

The same problem is cited by my painter and carpenter in Wyoming and A/C tech in New York. (The former obviously requiring years of training. The latter, less so—it’s mostly hauling off and installing window units.)

A lot of Americans do not consider the trades, full stop. (I know I didn’t.)
Purging the lines is done to eliminate moisture and other non-compressibles. The 24-hour standing vac test is a way (but not the only way) to prove a lack of leaks.

Particularly if you're going to flood with nitrogen (as the pros commonly do) and do a positive pressure decay test, there's absolutely no need to take overnight IMO. Taking overnight is a compensation mechanism that DIYers use to avoid buying the N2 bottle/regulator (which the pros already have because of their need to braze every so often).

I think DIYers can get as good a result as the pros, but I don't think the 24 hour vac test makes for a better result than a methodical pro will get.

>There is still space for a seperate profile without 16 bit instructions, so we'll have to see how that develops.

To be clear: RISC-V does also support instructions above 32bit. This was stressed during the discussion.

Qualcomm's focus in the discussion seemed to be to have RVA23 be a fixed size ISA. They failed to convince the board, as the ISA's variable size was designed to be very easy for a hardware decoder implementation to deal with, unlike m68k or x86.

To provide some practical real world RISC-V hardware examples, SiFive P870 is 6-wide, Tenstorrent Ascalon is 8-wide, Ventana Veyron V2 seems to be 12-wide.

Whereas modern x86 microarchitectures seem to be 4-wide and struggling to break into 6-wide, while the largest ARM aarch64 (which is fixed 32bit size) microarchitectures, Apple's M1/M2/M3, are 8-wide.
> That's all fine, but from the moment Maxwell's eq's are invoked, we enter an empirical framing, not a first principles one.

Yes, of course. First principles only leads you to the conclusion that there is a reference speed. It tells you nothing about its actual value. In fact, first principles cannot rule out the possibility that the reference speed is infinite. They can only lead you to suspect that it might not be.
Why do I think that this will not lower the expectation of Universities that any future students will be able to borrow large amounts of money.

> Dynamic pricing allows for better price discovery, that is obvious

You'll have to clarify your definition of "discovery". Your attempt to keep it vague is suspicious to say the least.

What dynamic pricing actually does is define and enforce pricing according to unilaterally controlled procedural structures. It is basically a capture of the pricing mechanism. Price discovery already happens in the market as the result of people buying and selling things, this is what's already obvious and is understood from Finance 101 by literally everyone.

Traditionally, how price discovery occurs in goods and services (excepting speculation) is 1) market research and 2) adjusting offered prices in cases of massive recognized disparity between supply and demand to maximize the revenue. As an example of 2, if a restaurant wants to start charging for reservations they first set a price, eg $20, and if they book solid they raise the price after a couple weeks or if they can't get any revenue from this they lower the price. That's the extent of "dynamics" that are necessary here.

You don't need to create some additional service that adjusts these things on the fly, first there is no value for the manager who's already watching and synthesizing this activity as part of their understanding of the operations, and also, it costs more for everyone involved compared to the baseline in order to, what, create one job in the economy?
Again, TIL. Thank you!

Why on earth isn't that keyboard shortcut shown in the search box, the way every other menu item with a keyboard shortcut has it displayed?

It boggles my mind how hidden this all is.

All these years, I could be picking menu items with my keyboard instead of my trackpad? What the hell, Apple.

First Apple hides the feature behind a search box that you don't usually ever see and then wouldn't ever guess that it searches the menus, then it goes even further to suggest there's no keyboard shortcut for it, when there is one. What a complete and utter UX fail.

I imagine any serious project won't be written in JavaScript, and WASM code with symbols stripped out is about as opaque as x86 or ARM assembly, especially when you start getting into the code sizes you expect for a full game engine or productivity suite.
Stolen ID from one person (ID, name, sometimes using the real person’s email and phone, sometimes creating fake yet similar emails like wildrhythms2@yahoo.com), someone else’s stole credit card number, and a drop address to receive and reship (sometimes deliver direct to the purchaser of the fraud item).

Typically the item is resold for half the price and it’s spoken for. It’s not like they buy to resell later. If they make the fraud they already have a buyer
A lot of times, it's made with a "modern cast" because people think watching movies before they were born are unwatchable.

For example, WTF was up with the remake of Red Dawn using the totally unbelievable premise that the North Koreans were the invading force?!?! I mean, the crazy Nazis on the backside of the moon plot was more believable than that. It is unusual that I have seen a remake that made me think, "yup, that was totally worth it" and improved the story
At this point we all have a copy of that, I would think.
IIRC, incompleteness theorems applies to arithmetic not geometry, the difference being subtle right?
I love well designed POSIX APIs, such as "this will silently corrupt memory if you use an FD above FD_SETSIZE, which you have no control over and have no sane way of remapping if it does happen".

It could certainly be much cheaper than $75, that's just the ceiling. Arduino Nano BLE is $30 and one stepper on Amazon is $15. Plus other small hardware, plastic and assembly.
Techniques like differential privacy do not work for some types of data models, including many of the more interesting/risky ones. I've never seen a technique that can deliver an analytical model at scale that is both analytically effective and anonymous while also robust against sophisticated de-anonymization attacks. There is no good theoretical foundation to suggest that such things are possible.

Most modern techniques for ensuring anonymization make assumptions that won't constrain sophisticated blackhats. They are good policy in a legal ass-covering sense and increase the cost required to de-anonymize but that is about it.

That’s the retention bonus. If someone asked for more, he’d pay it. (His clients are willing to pay thousands of dollars in expedition fees per visit. Did I mention technicians get a double-digit fraction of their production as commission?)

The problem isn’t pay. It’s availability of willing candidates. (I suggested he look into sponsoring a visa. I think he's going to sell off the maintenance part of the business to focus on manufacturing the valves, which can be automated more readily.)

There's a jingle completely missing from the Internet or any record I can find. It's the "Sport Chalet" jingle common on Southern California radios in the late 80's and early 90's.

It probably exists on someone's random cassette tape of radio from those days, and nowhere else. Remarkable!
