Cypress, the test runner, was offering up a free t-shirt if you attended any webinar in 2019. The test engineer on my team at the time got us all in on leaving the webinar open in the background. We got a full team set of Cypress shirts! Was the uniform for demos for the next couple sprints haha

I still have a couple (we did it multiple times) and actually really like them. Same 50/50 blend as the mongo shirt.
It's much more descriptive and obvious, and it's just plain HTML, so anything that assists you on writing HTML will assist you inside the templates.

It's bad because it's inline and your templates have no obvious place to go. You also can't import them on the fly (or rather, it's as idiomatic to import as any HTML). And obviously, because they have no effect on HTML and can only be used in javascript
since when is a change which had been incoming for 10+ years drastic?

plus the huge majority of software doesn't directly communicate with either X or Wayland, but instead with some GUI library which does that for them. Which means that instead of porting thousands of applications you need to port a handful of relevant GUI libraries and any software which is keept up to date will "just work".

Sure when it comes to some "desktop environment utilities" and similar that won't work, but for most of them there are Wayland compatible ports or alternatives.

Also each (major) version for RHEL is supported for many years which means that going in 2 versions through deprecation and removal isn't drastic at all either (RHEL 9 is planned to be "supported" for roughly another 8 years, through mostly security fixes and similar at some point in a few years).
Why AI Should Move Slow and Fix Things
As someone who has been working on porting a desktop environment to Wayland for the past year or so, I don't hate Wayland, but I certainly don't love it. After 10-15 years, it still seems pretty half-baked. Some pretty fundamental-feeling protocols have been languishing as merge requests on git.freedesktop.org, some for 3+ years at this point. I get that you don't want to rush standardization of things that need to remain stable and backward-compatible for (hopefully) decades), but c'mon, this is getting to be a bit much.

At this point I cannot actually replicate Xfce feature-for-feature in Wayland, not without inventing private protocols of my own, which I'd prefer not to do. My biggest issue right now is xfce4-panel, and embedding surfaces from one process into a parent process. There's no Wayland way to do this, and the Wayland folks have explicitly rejected some sort of XEMBED-workalike Wayland protocol, instead telling people they should write an embedded Wayland compositor. Well, I've been working on that for the past eight months, and it's hard to get right. I have something that "works", but it has a lot of rough edges, and, critically, eventually either the parent app or embedded apps run into weird spurious protocol errors and quit. While yes, that's technically my fault and my bugs, working with an under-documented protocol and really bare-bones libraries for building apps (wlroots, sadly, is not suitable for writing an embedded compositor, as it does too much) doesn't make any of this easier. I've written more than 10k lines of code (so far), and, meanwhile, you can do an XEMBED implementation in a few hundred.

I get that X11 made certain things impossible. But why not build an "X12" rather than throwing everything out and staring completely from scratch? It seems like people just didn't feel like it, and building something new was more exciting and would look better on their resume. I of all people know it's not cool to tell people what open source software to build in their spare time (though, to be fair, many/most of the people involved in Wayland are employed or at least funded by corporations), but jeez, this has been exhausting.
they aren't making it worse, they are only focusing wayland to reach feature parity, and xorg is already death in development, so it don't change too much
True. This might be confirmation bias so take it with a grain of salt: At school both students and teachers used to consider me brilliant. They saw me picking up concepts faster. But I knew all I had was a headstart. Everytime I was supplied books at the start of a new level,I just read them all and hunt for interesting knowledge.
I find, though that full-hung punctuation is a bit much. When I was publishing Serif in the 90s, I did half-hung punctuation where punctuation at the beginnings and ends of lines extended just half the width of the character. Most software makes this pretty much impossible,¹ although there are sneaky ways to do it manually: I wasted some time making a nice title page for the manuscript of the novel I’m writing,² titled, We, the Rescued and I set the “We,” on its own line, centered, but it looked off that way. putting a white comma before We helped, but now the off-centeredness went the other way, so I changed the type size of the white comma to half that of the black comma and boom, everything looked much better.³

1. I did it in TeX. I had to make modified versions of the fonts that had a separate hyphen character which went past the margin and insert manual \penalty0 points after en- and em-dashes since they no longer automatically were breakpoints since the hyphen was not the hyphenchar.

2. Despite my typographic background, I generally try to avoid spending time on manuscript formatting beyond the absolute basics.

3. Still not exactly half-hung punctuation with this trick. The exact hung fraction is left as an exercise to the reader.

He who does the work in open source calls the shots. Nobody is working on X anymore as of like 10 years ago, holdouts need to put up and support X, or switch to Wayland. Sure Wayland needs work, but everything I can see says it is a better architecture and people are working on it.

The point of much punctuation is to help inform the parse, and understanding semantic intent. This is why I find the whole "two spaces after full stop not needed" thing to be a very odd argument: Those spaces aided reading. They had a purpose.

Quote blocks are embedded, nested structure. Sure seems to me like a punctuation model and a layout model which can understand that, is net beneficial.

I always liked the french <<this is a quote>> model. Somehow it felt more like an embedded thing.

Double quotes have the additional burden MICROSOFT WORD I AM LOOKING AT YOU of the random interpolation of what the editor YES MICROSOFT WORD I MEAN YOU thinks it knows you meant to say. Additionally hijacking the text into badly encoded iso-latin1 or utf-8 mis-parsed, as a free gift.

if I mean to say:

“a quote” (left and right double quotation mark)

I will say it. When I say

"a quote" (apostrophe, used twice)

please.. leave those quote-marks alone.

Everyone takes the short term safe course, make a thing a little bit worse to make a little bit more money, don’t take risks with things that might be high quality that maybe only a few will appreciate.

The result is a long slow decline which is profitable until you’re dying and can’t climb back out. This is, I am sure, an explicit strategy of some. The whole business model of taking something good and lowering quality while relying on the good will from the past until it’s all out and you’re bankrupt… except you’ve been doing whatever you could to extract profit from the whole process and just leaving the business bankrupt.
But do deny the reality that short term stock market driven goals of eternal growth are incompatible with a sustainable and healthy society is a non-starter for me, it is so incredibly clear that to ignore it is almost wilful at this stage. "After me, the deluge".

Yet here we are - with the most prosperous and healthy nations all based on a model around, what you call, “short-term stock market driven goals”.

May you have give an example? Because I look around and don’t see what you see.

It doesn't really account for that, true. But copyright isn't the only control. If you've never distributed something, that generally falls under basic privacy.

But if you've already put 50 thousand copies out into the world, it should stay available in some reasonable form.

I have no idea what you are talking about. There are literally infinite alternatives because you can freely modify any open-source alternative in infinite ways.

No one is going to kick down your door and shoot you if you try to make a new browser or OS from scratch, like they would if you tried to make a new government, but there is really no reason to make a browser from scratch.

Microsoft didn't need to trust Google to fork Chromium, they didn't give up any power to Google and have exactly the same ability to influence web standards as if they had reinvented the browser. If they disagree with a choice the Chromium developers made, they can change it and keep the rest. The same applies to anyone who wants to do the same.

When it comes to certificate authorities, you don't even need to modify the browser or OS because they already allow you to add and remove authorities. The main reason people don't tend to do that is because they have no reason to. If you tried to start a new one, the natural thing to ask would be why I should trust you over the established certificate authorities. If your answer is that I don't have a choice because you have the backing of an army and police force that you will use against me if I don't, it doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

The current certificate authorities don't need to threaten anyone with violence to secure their position, and they operate with significantly more transparency than any government I know of. Compared to governments, they are also much safer to trust because they rely on consent rather than force. A compromised or malicious certificate authority won't shoot you for trying to replace it, it has no enforcement mechanism beyond inertia.

Battery usage and frequency have practically no correlation. I've got HF gear (things running at just a few MHz) that use car batteries to run a few hours. I've got 2.4GHz stuff designed to run off practically a watch battery and for their use case last weeks.

And either way phones running on 4G LTE or 5G are largely using the same frequencies as before. Few phones actually connect to those ultra wideband networks for any notable percentage of the time. Most of the time they're connecting to 4G/5G towers operating around the same older GSM bands. Those earlier StarTAC phones and the Nokia 5110 ran at ~800-1900MHz. A modern 5G phone on T-Mobile US (Band n71) will operate on 600MHz. On your logic, a modern 5G phone on T-Mobile should work much longer than many older phones.

You have it backwards. The inductance is much greater than the capacitance. But the important thing is that neither can be neglected. Without inductance, you just have a bunch of capacitors in parallel. Without capacitance, you have a bunch of inductors in series. Both cases simplify to one big component. You need alternating L and C to get wavelike propagation.

Very cool. I play the tabla, and perhaps a tabla variant of this would be useful. For this, I imagine, we will need

- Better handling of taal and timing. Initially double or quadruple time but later polyrhythmic structure.

Tabla would also benefit from annotations, say for labeling the tihai, etc.

I agree that doing effective things is effective and we should do effective things when they prove valuable. These things here are generally simplifications or even distillations which can be faster and more efficient which are excellent attributes of solutions. My objection isn't that we develop great systems but that we don't forget that other branches in the solution space exist. Particularly here because the more rich enough may help yield the next generation of solutions.
You are correct, taking the reference speed as measurement is not a valid line of reasoning.

The average speed is higher, the speed is lower the closer the stations are together, but the speed also depends on the line; i.e. the Ginza line added ATS(automated train stop, added in 1993). I just learned that Paris' Line 14, that went into service in 2022, also drives at accelerated speeds, it's the first line with ATS in Paris. I think the main problems that need to be addressed with respect to higher speed transportation are the following:

1. the breaking system needs to be assisted (ATS)

2. the railway needs to be replaced and reinforced

3. turn angles can't exceed a certain degree

1 and 3 are a design issue that isn't really addressed in older metro system, and 2 is probably a political problem. Contrary to my previous belief it seems that France is at least trying to address some of the points in their metro extensions, which is nice.

Isn't that somewhat of a pointless distinction? The protection goes away if you don't take things down. Whether it's explicitly in law doesn't matter if it has the same effect.

This reminds me of restaurants taking away their employees tips but saying "we're not forcing you to give up your tips, you'll just be fired if you try to keep them".

Same thing.

Flat response in plugs is not nonsense simply because Fletcher-Munson curves already exist. Good plugs eliminate an additional layer of unwanted frequency distortion in the audio that you're hearing.

Yes, Fletcher-Munson effects can change our perception of frequency response. But that doesn't mean that we should tolerate additional negative effects. That's like saying that we shouldn't stop the cook from using too much salt in our dish because the chicken is already dry. Clearly it's preferable to have chicken that is ONLY dry, rather than chicken that is both dry AND over-salted.

Don't be so dismissive about people seeking a good audio experience. If you're at a concert there's a lot of factors that are out of the audience's control, but good earplugs are low hanging fruit if such things are important to them.

And if you're the musician on stage cranking an amp, using cheap ear plugs is going to create a disconnect between what you hear and what your audience will hear. If you have to dial in more top-end to compensate for the dulling effect of the plugs for your amp to sound "right", then your "right" sounding amp setting will be perceived as harsh for the people in the audience who aren't wearing plugs.

Finally, if you're at a rock concert (with a sound engineer mixing the band) the engineer will be hearing the concert at the same volume as you. They will already be balancing the band's sound in a way that compensates for the effects of the Fletcher Munson effect that you're concerned about.
