Not sure if this is the right take. Apple is betting that in the long term that flash memory will be equivalent to RAM with the right CPU / GPU architectures. The timeline is pressed up, certainly, but I don't think their thesis is wrong.
Same here, running Wireguard on the gateway (pfSense) really streamlined a lot of my needs on the go.

This is what I like about USA. History? Who gives a damn. ;)

(I don't mean it in a demeaning way. It is just an observation and I think it has some advantages, too, if you do not preserve every building there is for example.)
> The controller doesn’t have time to explain why the previous estimate was wrong or discuss company policy.

Absolutely. ATC might have been less helpful than possible here, maybe because they had too much on their plate. In that case, if they waste further time on long discussions and get behind on their other planes, the whole carefully juggled sequence might break down, sending many planes to holding or even their alternate.
Odd, I use Arch (well, EndeavourOS) with Sway and have experienced no problems. Quite on the contrary, my setup with a high-DPI laptop + external monitors is far nicer with Wayland than with X.
And then what? That's a very short-run solution. Eventually, you have to build.
>"The video, featuring a cat named Taters, was sent back from nearly 19 million miles away by NASA’s laser communications demonstration, marking a historic milestone."

My thoughts:

As Neil Armstrong might say: "One small step for Man, one giant leap for...

Taters?!?!?!?!?

No, I'm just kidding about that of course! <g> :-) <g>

(https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Neil_Armstrong)

But on a more serious note, I think what NASA has accomplished here is a big step forward for future high bandwidth deep space communication...

Also, let's not forget that light, in this case, laser light, should travel at least a little bit faster than radio waves (the previous "old skool" method for deep space communication) -- at least if the classical physics EM theories hold true. (Side note: It would be interesting to know if laser light travels any faster, if even by the smallest amount, than regular light over extremely long distances -- but that's probably a future experiment for future experimenters...)

Anyway, it's a huge step forward for deep space communication!

Way to go NASA!!!

You guys rock! (As Felix Schlang might say!)

Ignoring the disclosure etiquette here, then making an irrelevant rebuttal about relevance when the point was disclosure, then getting snarky with the person who tried to helpfully point it out?

I have no opinion on your products or your post, but some % of people steer away from companies for such things.
Having house be store of value/investment rather than commodity is a big part, it's not just "getting permission is hard", because as long as it is a an investment, everyone that has housing will do everything in their power to keep the status quo, including pushing the lawmakers to make it hard to do anything that would lower housing value.
I don't need to read C++ docs, I am not concerned with it. If C++ is part of your, what's it called, stack, read the part of it that matters for your use case and read those parts directly related to your part of C++ or whatever other language you are using. Do that for every other language in your stack. I never said anything else, did I?

How deep and broad your understanding has to be depends on:

- your team, nobody can know everything alone, it is a team sport

- your specific use case, I cannot help you with that

- complexity of your use case

- your role, if you are responsible for graphics under Linux, sure as hell you read that part of the Linux documentation, front to end, multiple times and master it

- and, as always, know your system, stack, tools and documentation well enough to realize when you have to look stuff up and where
Those aren't inherently insecurities, but the way X implemented them was quite insecure. Wayland is now having to do the heavy lifting of defining a secure protocol to implement it and migrating the entire Linux GUI ecosystem to using the new mechanisms. Also, I can take screenshots just fine on Wayland via KWin. I can't pick arbitrary 3p apps just yet but KWin's screenshotter is fine. Not sure about screen recording as I haven't needed that. VNC-style applications don't work but if you do a search you come up with sunshine+moonlight which uses Nvidia's protocol + H264 streaming.
If ever you work at a place where the software does not make money or is treated as such then you should consider leaving. You will be treated like a cleaner, i.e. it doesn't matter how well you can clean the office if it has zero impact on revenue, they just want the cheapest.

Everywhere else, your worth is the value you generated multiplied by the number of people it interacts with.

The closer or more direct the path is from the work you do to the value generated, the more you will be valued in that company. This is why Sales can be valued so highly, but if you implement X to win contract Y worth Z where Z is a very big number, your worth is quite clear and it's obvious you should move on if you're treated as a cost in such cases.
I noticed all sorts of horrible breakage in Ubuntu (including LTS updates) over the last 3-5 years (I gave up on it in the 20.* days for anything except VMs / docker containers) Examples included DNS taking 5 seconds to resolve each host, the syslog fiasco, systemd flat out not working, etc, etc.

Maybe that's what they're referring to?

(At this point, I'm looking for anything that's stable and still uses a normal init + x11, FWIW. I wouldn't consider Fedora, since it's owned by IBM, and Red Hat's new business model under them is "systematically violate the GPL and see if we can get away from it".)

Should it be possible to run games with Steam on Wayland with Nvidia drivers installed? Or is that some ways off while we wait for NVidia drivers to be updated?

I did give it a brief try but getting very low fps, which tells me it's probably running on CPU if I had to guess.

> The downvotes are coming as there is no need to give Elon the benefit of the doubt in December of 2023. We've all seen how he behaves against those who doesnt agree with and it is much easier to see a clear path of the removal of the disney app as retaliation vs a weird bug that just removes 1 streaming app.

As I said to someone else, why hasn't Disney capitalized on this then? If it's truly vindictive, wouldn't it be an easy win for Disney to shit on him even more?

"Look, Elon is so vindictive he's hurting his own customers to spite us."

Just applying a bit of Hanlon's razor to life might do everyone some good.
> Obviously, you can black box test third party code. It’s absurd to say otherwise.

No. You cannot explicitly test code within a black box. How could you? You wouldn't even know it is there. Is it that you don't understand what 'black box' means?

If you remove the explicit qualifier, then okay, but if you do that you would stupidly be having a completely different conversation to the one that is taking place here. The explicit qualifier was explicitly qualified.

Humans I can see benefitting from more/greater intelligence for sure. It could help mitigate existential threats of all kinds. I agree it depends who wields the power.

My point was that I think it's hard to argue that the world, as in Earth and it's non-human inhabitants, are better off because of human intelligence. So it's questionable whether more intelligence would change that.
what happens with vlc ?
You haven't even mentioned which wayland compositor you are using.

Which is one of the biggest problems with Wayland - there isn't just one Wayland but Gnome Wayland and KDE Wayland and wlroots-based Wayland and Gamescope Wayland. What functionality is available and working and using which API varies between all of these. This includes really basic things like window decorations.

This is different from X where the core functionality is common because everyone usees X.org. If all the Wayland compositors agreed on how thing should work then multiple implementations would be much less of a problem. But they don't or at lest take ages until all but one of the NIH protocol extensions get abandoned. Some of this protocol extension zoo is hidden by applications and toolkits implementing multiple variants but even if you no longer see it as an end user this is still a cost because time spent on dealing with Gnome or KDE bs is time not spent on more useful things.
That or make him try to maintain his own code a year later when it may as well have been written by someone else. This is really the only way to properly understand the problem with making all those abstractions. It all makes sense when you have the whole structure in your head but it's very hard to build that mental model back up later.
BA probably disposed of it years ago, possibly as part of a consignment of other unneeded spares
There aren't any good alternatives as like you say, SSH is everywhere.

You seem to be seeing a confrontational message where I didn't mean one. Yes I'm sure you could find some old posts complaining about X that would illustrate the same phenomenon. My point is pretty much exactly that. Fast forward the next 5-10 years and we might all be on Wayland but they blew their first impression and that's delaying adoption.
Sentiment certainly would vary unit to unit, I work with a number of vets (mostly enlisted not commissioned so that might bias it a bit) and when I've asked them about it I've gotten various answers from "refusal of unlawful orders" to "sabotage and desert". I don't know if its all talk but I certainly never hope the chips are on the table to find out.

While I appreciate the idea, I think a purpose-built daemon would be significant improvement here. You could use SCM_CREDENTIALS with unix sockets for kernel-backed authentication, avoiding the complexities of key managment etc, and you could pass file-descriptors (stdin/out/err or tty) of the elevated child from the daemon to the caller, avoiding potentially expensive encryption and copying data. Of course there is also the benefit of needing far smaller code-base here, hopefully making things more robust
This article is reporting on the attack that GP's link is the authoritative source for.
Somewhat an outsider (but I have used Netlify and eleventy). It's basically a tale as old as time: trying to build a sustainable business around open source technology and perhaps fleeting trends in software development.

Vercel and Netlify offer essentially the same thing: easy hosting of mostly static websites + a few bells and whistles. They each support development of frameworks (eleventy, Next.js, Gatsby, and perhaps others) that make their hosting business more compelling to use. Netlify branded it's approach as "Jamstack" which I believe stood for "Javascript and some other Marketing Stuff". Now that the winds of change are blowing, Netlify want to reposition themselves as something a bit different and down play the old stuff and also not make it look like their rivals are doing to well.
I feel like the debate between Wayland and X always bring more a general discussion about technology refactoring and modularity.

To me be, the big question is not why freedesktop.org or redhat is doing all of this, they're a company and they have their needs.
It is why distro maintainers have chosen to adopt those technologies(systemd,Wayland, others?), not that those options are especially bad but to me,but they really look like a clear bifurcation from the modularity and customization we used to see on the distro world.

I remember the mid 2000 and early 2010, when computing was still cultivating this cool image from the animations of Mac os Leopard and the aero style of Vista and the leader above all in the form compiz crowning Linux from far.

In the talks around Wayland vs X, the maneer Wayland proponent(not only its developer and also any linux user) dismisses critics of missing feature because 15 years later they're still not standardized or lack of composabilty between windowing and compositing is a stark contrast with the way we used to talk about free and open source software at the turn of the millennium.

We used to defend customizability and a certain form of freedom.
Sure X11 lack security and should be replaced by something that works better.
The Wayland shortcoming are defended in the name of security is some kind PR speak I wouldn't think I'd see in the linux world years ago.
It comes as particularly bitter as other closed platform from wich we used to hear a lot corporate speak still allow apps to do more things with their own windows that Wayland does.

The fact that the same organization hosts flatpack but has not vision of how to use the capability model for Wayland really poses questions on the vision.

All in all, I wonder if things would have went more smoothly and in greater general agreement if those 15 years+ were spend make Linux work like plan 9.

"GO: A Complete Introduction to the Game" by Cho Chikun is a good place to start. Then just start playing games. You can be auto-matched on online-go.com with players of close to your strength (and you can request a handicap in the settings as well. You are what is known as 30 kyu player (think "white belt" in karate). The great thing about go is that the handicap system allows you to play people of greatly varying skill and have a chance at beating them. Right now you could probably play up to a 21 kyu player with a 9 handicap (19x19 board) and still be on equal footing [1].

I can't stress enough the need to just play games. Have fun. If you don't enjoy it you won't keep doing it, so don't stress out about "doing the right thing." Just try stuff and see if it works. If it doesn't, oh well. Don't do that next time. I know I said "don't just try things" above, but that was specifically in learning to read life-and-death problems. At your level you should just be having fun playing games right now. Life-and-death problems can be boring (but necessary) for a lot of players so the important thing right now is that you enjoy playing. The other stuff will come along naturally as you develop the desire to get better.

Oh, and don't play against AI (even weak ones). They don't play like normal humans and will just confuse you more than help. At much higher levels, AI has been very helpful in finding new tactics and strategies that more optimal, but at your level, playing other humans will get you better much faster.

It's not judgmental in some dubious way. "Adequate" here means adequate to ensure the software achieves a specified (and high) level of reliability.

If testing is enough to ensure the software is reliable, does the extra benefit of static typing make it worth the cost? This could be quite a lot of testing! The more testing that is done, the fewer type bugs remain that static typing would have found.

The argument you want to make against this is that static typing would have benefit beyond just finding bugs. The argument you don't want to make is that static typing reduces the need for testing.

I started my career in the chip business. All large semiconductor shops realised in the late 60s/ early 70s that they could destroy any competition via patent lawsuits - TI has the transistor, IBM the CPU, Intel the microprocessor, multiple fab process inventions, etc , etc. So they generally agreed patent swap agreements (not sure if this was via an organisation, or bilaterals) to avoid just giving all their money to lawyers.

Today you write a patent as a defensive weapon (you sue me, I’ll sue you) or as a way for your start up to have residual value when it dies on the vine and your VCs sell the IP to a troll. So, seems that Tesla has enough IP to avoid other car firms from taking them out (probably GM has patent on using 4 wheels) … but no large firm / real competitor will dance unless they follow the chip business “all in” model.
I use Vivaldi on all platforms and I would never see this on desktop because of the built in ad and blocker tracking. It did not load the video of the bridge until I specifically turned the blockers off.

I guess this must be the way that those terrible ads that appear to hide behind the text of a content farm article when you scroll, for my browser to block it outright.

That tells me this is going to be used by advertisers so I can't even get away from scrollable video ads because they're going to try to play as I scroll.

This will be great for advertisers since sites will be able to quantify how much of the advertising video was served to users based on how far down they scrolled!

This will be great for everyone's experience on the web. /s
“Thus, to achieve maximum performance under all circumstances, it is still recommended to encode videos with keyframe = 1, if possible”

Which negates the title. Not using long-GOP encoding really defeats the purpose of using a codec like h.264/h.265. For delivering files via streaming, this is a pretty obscure thing to do. It’s no less obscure than using trick play techniques of encoding the video using long-GOP, but in multiple streams where each stream is at different rates. This is how the set top boxes would do the fast forward/reverse play.

Ubuntu and Nvidia are difficult. We have a Linux work station and attempt to get an Nvidia card working (drivers anyway) failed. Its was confusing and even those with more skill/experience couldn't make it work. PopOS (which is a fork of Ubuntu) with Nvidia ended up working for us. Though I'm not sure if its X or Wayland.
The original mamba code has a lot of speed optimizations and other stuff that make it difficult to immediately get so this will help with learning.

I can't help but also plug my own Mamba inference implementation. https://github.com/rbitr/llm.f90/tree/master/ssm

For inference one token at a time everything simplifies considerably.
Agreed. It's "fun" to start breaking your code down into small bits; more interchangeable "pieces" -- until you have to maintain it for 10 years (or worse yet, explain it to a new junior dev) and the extensibility you envisioned never came to fruition and now it's just a liability spread across 8 source files.
Looks great. I was an early entrant into the "logo maker" space, which was very hot a few years ago when someone realized that it was a great way to get leads for small businesses who were just in the first days of their journey as a company.

Unfortunately since then, the market has become saturated with competitors and other business-services providers that have free logo makers, so it's hard to rank or really get much traction with a new logo maker. Abuse is another problem - people on Fiverr sell "professional logo design" and then just use your tool to make a logo (if you could consider that to be abuse).

If this is a nice little bonus feature for your existing users, however, it is very slick. Good work!
My two cents as a professional engineer coming from biochem:

While computer science / programming is very young and light on the science side, it has solid foundations in mathematics, and the mathematics that are true today will always be true.

So I argue (without providing any proof) that it is almost certainly a good idea to “follow the maths” in your learning journey. I think this is as true for numerical algorithms as it is for functional programming and type theory.
If sshd is behind wireguard, it's defense in depth.
