It is not as a simple as "Linux does not support HDR".

The kernel's graphics API does expose functionality to use HDR. What is not there (yet) is Xorg and Wayland compositors using that functionality as well as programs written to target those being able to use whatever HDR Xorg/Wayland functionality would expose. For gaming Wine also lacks HDR support.

Valve is bypassing the above by using their own Wayland compositor (gamescope) which is designed to run X11 applications (mainly Wine/Proton) via XWayland and -IIRC- they hacked in a way to take over XWayland's output to force HDR so that Windows games running under Proton using Windows' HDR APIs will work under gamescope.

The reason they can do that is because they can modify and ship the entire stack, but it its otherwise a very gaming-oriented gamescope-specific hack (you can't use the same functionality to get a window with HDR content under an otherwise "SDR" desktop).

FWIW if you do have an HDR monitor (and perhaps an AMD GPU, not sure if this is a requirement) you should be able to use it on your own PC to run Windows games with HDR support - you'll just be limited to running them in fullscreen mode in a separate virtual terminal (i mean those you switch with the Ctrl+Alt+F<n> keys). I haven't tried it myself though because i'm using my own gamescope fork with some modifications i made and my code is a couple of years behind (long before the HDR stuff were added). Also while i technically have an HDR monitor, it isn't basically a somewhat brighter SDR monitor, not true HDR.
uMatrix implements that. Highly recommend.

What stops someone from photographing a printed picture of a deepfake?
I would love to study on my own, take an exam, and be qualified to do electrical work on my own house. The only thing stopping me from attempting is the hour requirement.

I kinda see the point, practice is important. But I'm not about to transition careers and work as an apprentice at this stage in life.
You can skip type system magic, and have people just keep introducing bugs that it would prevent over and over, writing more tests trying to prevent it, never quite succeeding, but overall "feeling productive" and "being agile" along the way.

Having said that - yeah, making good apis and abstractions that prevent mistakes takes time and some skill, and pays off gradually proportional to the scale and longevity of the project. And for certain things is not worth it. Being able to make a good judgment if enforcing something at the compile time / runtime / at all is worth it is part of the skill.
As an early Tumblr user, godspeed. You were fun while you lasted.
I'm sorry to hear about that. I always went out of my way to make the contractors feel seen and important. I'd find their manager from the contracting company and write glowing reviews. I'd talk with them, treat them as equals, give them extra swag I got as an employee.

To "stick it to the man" directly by being kind and generous is perhaps the best possible task I can assign to myself.
A lot of recent "ditch the exam" efforts across a wide variety of professions seem to be centered around post-2020 diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives (evidence: https://www.opb.org/article/2022/01/17/oregon-advances-alter...).

This is not always stated explicitly, but will turn up in board minutes if you have access to them. Many professional boards have added a DEI committee or incorporated language into their mission statement in recent years as well (Oregon bar statement: https://www.osbar.org/diversity/programs.html).

I'm never clear whether the hypothesis is "more DEI = more efficacy && competency," or whether the hypothesis is "benefits of (DEI) > benefits of (efficacy && competency)." The former hypothesis at least seems more testable, but I'm not sure whether anyone is trying very hard (meta-analysis: https://academic.oup.com/tbm/advance-article/doi/10.1093/tbm...).
I think there's a difference from CBP's/USCIS's perspective between visiting the U.S. for brief trips for pleasure or business and continuing to work while here (for the benefit of a foreign employer or client) and traveling to the U.S. to work remotely from the U.S. (even if for the benefit of a foreign employer or client).
That definition is very reductive. Any competitive tournament with an entree fee is gambling?

Also, the reason I'm against banning such games is because when you look at all the things we find fun, you will be sad to see that a lot of them just boil down to variable reward. That variable reward aspect is what makes it fun.
Any professional program instills way more than just knowledge to pass a test. The fact that you survived long enough to pass the test is often a big part of the test's function. The graded practice thing is actually even more intimidating. Not only do you have to do well, you have to do well live in front of people, and you have to have had the requisite experience in those hours of practice to get an adequate portfolio together. This portfolio development component can be brutally harder than all the tests combined.
There were a lot of "construction kits" around that time, Bill Budge's 1982 "Pinball Construction Set" was perhaps the first. but there were things like the Adventure Construction Set, Music Construction Set, etc., that let people make their own versions of a program, typically (but not always) games, using a visual interface (even on 8-bit computers). I wonder where these things have gone. Yes, today we have things like Scratch, but that's more a programming language even if it is visual.

Re-configuring everything so screen sharing works is obnoxious, sure. You know what's way more obnoxious? Every single website having full access to every single pixel and keystroke going into every single application on my entire machine, which is the only reason screen sharing is "functional" on X. And on Windows, for that matter.

Also, if your auto-keyboard tool was hooking in using X debug extensions like xdotool did, your tool was broken and wrong in the first place. The correct way to submit synthetic input events is to build a synthetic input device. uinput makes this shockingly straightforward: https://kernel.org/doc/html/v4.12/input/uinput.html#keyboard.... There are even high-level bindings (via libevdev) for high-level languages: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libevdev/python-libevdev/-/bl....

I created a free TN applications database for Canadians/Mexicans working in US
Hi all!

Canadian working in the US on a TN here! Been through the struggle of hiring bad lawyers, losing job offers because of immigration, and getting denied at the border one too many times, so I decided to build a free database of TN visa applications for future applications to make applying a little less grueling and stressful for future batches of ambitious Canadians/Mexicans.

If you're on a TN visa right now, would really appreciate it if you share your results!

Ask HN: How do you keep your thoughts together when building a product?
I've tried building products in the past and what ends up happening is that the ideas and features keep getting compounded and I end up in a place where I no longer know what I'm building.

When building a product thoughts and ideas are coming in from all over the place. How do you keep your product feature set from getting unwieldy, and how do you stay focused on building what you initially defined.
It'll never happen but I'd love if Valve could wack an M1 / similar apple chip on one of these
I think LLMs will have a hard time replacing traditional diff algorithms. You want your diff to be reliable and predictable. It shouldn't omit relevant changes. This is not really a strength of LLMs.

I think a system that parses the code and uses verifiable rules to hide invariant changes would have a much easier time being adopted. I may be biased since I work on SemanticDiff (think difftastic but for VS Code and GitHub) and have implemented such rules myself. There have been several times where I've thought about implementing a new rule, only to find out that some obscure edge case would not be handled correctly. So I don't see how LLMs could handle these cases correctly in the near future.

Everyone always talks about financial math, but it seems like the more important thing is the math that would help you make money in the first place.

A "How to ensure that you never get a door dash or eating out or only fans habit" class, and creating a culture that didn't promote expensive status symbols might save people more money than knowing how to budget properly...
Depends on the definition of 'appropriately' really doesn't it.
Unwanted javascript is a job for the browser to refuse. Which is why the people who ship browsers try to make refusing as difficult or confusing as possible.

Turns out that youtube also has:

1) the dominant browser;

2) the same interests as, multiple partnerships with, and very little actual competition with the company that runs the next biggest browser in a walled garden, and

3) been completely funding the development of the browser that continually press releases as if youtube's aims are pure evil and that they are the only opposition.
Maybe one of the reasons people are not having kids is that it has gotten too difficult and expensive to raise them. Probably because there are too many people. Expensive housing, energy, food, transportation are mostly due to the large numbers of people vying for those resources. The resources don't care that majority of them are older and becoming less productive. There are not to few humans - only too few young humans to support the large number of older ones.

There was a time when a single income could support a middle class family. That is simply no longer the case for most people in urban situations. Now if you are Elon Musk and do not intend to actually care for those children yourself and can afford alternatives 11 seems to be the limit so far or 12 for Nick Canon. I eagerly await the X child;)
We have very different experiences, I haven't worked on a production C/C++ project in the last decade that didn't vendor dependencies somehow. Debian stable is especially unreliable. In fact I can't think of a time I haven't had issues when working on a team greater than 1 or shipping builds because distro packaged libraries aren't reliable.

Also, why is it immature for Rust to ship a toolchain and package manager through a sidechannel, but not Haskell?

On a small level, I think that some of the areas it's behind on (security, layout) might have eventually turned out to be improvements. Stylo and WebRender were behind Firefox when they first began development as well, they were experiments to see if Rust could enable differing patterns. I personally think those experiments would have been useful to try and replicate for layout at the very least, although I don't know for sure if they would have yielded fruit.

On a bigger level, I think having a more easily embeddedable Firefox could change the dynamics around V8 and Chromium could end up being pretty important for the health of the web overall, including the health of Firefox.

There's an argument to be made here that none of that potential is gone because, hey, Servo is still being developed. But I think it could have gone faster with Mozilla's support behind it for longer, I think they would have served as an effective advertising/hype engine behind the technology. I think the dominance of Chromium for embedded applications does influence how developers approach the web in some minor ways.

On a really out-there level, I would like to see HTML-like interfaces proliferate in more apps, and Servo in particular has a very modular approach that could make it more feasible to bring in the DOM without bringing in languages like Javascript (yes, manipulation and events and all that stuff would need to be accessible without JS, but... it's certainly easier than it would be with Chromium, Stylo already makes some interesting applications possible). If I had to pick a company to push that effort that I didn't thing would horribly mess it up, Mozilla would be high on my list. And I vaguely maybe suspect that pulling more browser technologies out of the web could open up more technical fields and niches for Mozilla to get its hands into. Right now what that area mostly looks like is Electron or embedded Chromium. At most you have embedded JS engines like V8.

I'm hoping that there's some potential to do more interesting things, and I think it could have been valuable to Mozilla and it could have increased developer investment/mindshare if Mozilla was a bigger player in those areas.

But that's just my instinct, maybe I'm wrong.

All of that is possible with LLMs:

> They’re proactive—capable of making suggestions before you ask for them.

An LLM can capture things that are "todos" very easily now. If someone messages you and says "can you collect data on the Brenda client" it can know that this is a request.

Further, if you give it access to notion or company wiki, it could be tuned to understand your clients, work and much much more.. The LLM can, in today's work: open an email, or a VSCode instance with some pre-filled connection to your analytics database - maybe even a sample query with the Brenda client pre-filled.

Across applications - this is more-or-less something that will be coming soon. Within a few months you will see pretty much every major OS (linux, Mac, Windows) announce OS level APIs to interact with a basic LLM, and paid for LLMs. This will enable applications to start communicating with each other because they will generally understand what you're typing and output function calls..

When applications can ubiquitously call "predict(...)" at the OS level, and probably many other AI APIs that will be introduced, you will see a HUGE change in interactivity.

Now that being said, it sounds like you're picturing Tom Cruise in Minority Report, or Will Smith in I-Robot.

There's a huge in-between you're extending his conversation to that's totally unnecessary.
Do you do multi monitor? Is there screen tearing on videos or fast moving things?
And that works in some contexts, like farming, where you give the kids a simple task like "paint a fence", "carry this from A to B", or "chop some wood".

Approximately no company wants to deal with an unskilled person. It takes a pro weeks to even start doing something useful in most organizations, let alone to be an useful addition to the team. If teenagers could be expected to produce useful code, then we'd have companies hiring new, unexperienced developers, but pretty much nobody wants to.

Now of course there are some really clever 12 year olds out there that can actually do cool things. But they're a very small proportion, and if you only deal with them then it's no longer education, but a mentorship for a select few.

FYI you cannot use the abbreviation "1/80ksec". It may be interpreted as (1/80)ksec or 1/(80ksec). But you actually intended to mean (1/(80k))sec.

The correct ways to write it include 1/80000 s, 1/80 ms, or 12.5 μs.
By the time most people can be convinced that this is the case, it will be too late... it might be some sort of intellectual victory to realize you should have had children when you're 50, but biology has already made everything final.

There exists this strange phenomenon, where seemingly intelligent people insist that, somehow, in the future, little girls will grow up again all wanting to become mommies and have 2.1 (or more!) children, then those little girls will have, by definition, grown up in a world where all the adults around them including but not limited to their parents have no children or have only one child.

Why would such a little girl buck that trend? And it's not just one little girl who needs to do this, on average they all have to have 2.1, or else a smaller fraction has to have an even higher number.

A civilization/society that can't be bothered to replace itself by raising children has already demonstrated its unworthiness. Maybe it should die.

> Scream and holler about how terrible it is, yet nobody provides anything better.

Or rather, no one can to provide anything "better" because no one agrees on what exactly is better.

It's obvious that sometimes, in order to advance the status quo, you really need to exploit the free manpower that comes from the "chasing change for the sake of trying shiny new things" group. Every developer has been there once or twice: it's well known we prefer to write shiny new things rather than maintain old things, _even_ when the later is frequently the better option.

But it also obviously comes with negative consequences. In a couple weeks there is going to be yet another inevitable rant in HN about how Linux breaks the ABI for desktop applications every other week, which prevents Linux from taking over the desktop, and this type of unbridled shiny new thing chasing _is_ almost 100% to blame.

Certainly, you are not paying for it, so the inevitable cycle of useless rewrites just to keep (volunteer) developer interest is necessary. But at least one ought to also empathize with the people for whom their entire platform keeps moving under their feet for little apparent benefit.

I don't understand how you think this isn't nefarious based on your own post. I didn't ask my car to basically give a backdoor to all my texts and contacts to law enforcement. If that exists, it is certainly being used. I find it very sad that you have to prove injury despite the fact that is is clearly not in a user's benefit. Laws are always playing catchup to tech and we shouldn't have to play wackamole for every new absurd way our privacy is being abused just becawe can't prove that police aren't doing parallel construction to avoid the direct "injury" to us.
