It's worse if your team uses a house-built framework that's too complex for its own good.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong with Wayland. I have a cheap Linux laptop, with built in graphics. And Wayland works perfectly.

I can run multiple monitors with one of them rotated. When I tried that with X I got lots of juddery tearing.

I can take screenshots and share my screens via video calls. But everyone says it doesn't work due to security.

I have fractional scaling and it doesn't seem to burn out my CPU or battery. Yet that's frequently listed as a disadvantage.

What do I need to do in order to make Wayland as bad as everyone says it is?
“Sucks” I mean if you want tear free rendering there’s not a lot of choices other than compositing.
As the flow of a river on the big scale the flow of the universe might be entirely predictable. But we are living on the smallest scales of the universe. So we might simply not experience this determinism of the universe, as a molecule in the river might not notice that the river is flowing into the sea.
X was so insecure that wayland maintainers must now work tirelessly to roughly emulate these insecurities such as taking screenshots and sharing their desktop in their new protocol.

Don't get me wrong; I don't like X, but if I had it my way we'd all be using Haiku with a Linux or BSD kernel right now.

Worse, this opens up the market for "free" websites riddled with malware. This can have much broader impact than a few teens watching the wrong video.

One thing I really appreciate about Suica is the low latency. You can tap while walking quickly and not have to slow down to get through the ticket gate. Compared with e.g. London, where you have to almost stop because the gates take so long to open, it really makes it easy for a trainload of people to get out of a station.

The name is also a bad pun; Sui-sui is onomatopoeia for smooth movement (like fish swimming), so it’s the card for moving smoothly. Also, suica means watermelon so the card is green.

There is actually an industry wide pilot shortage. But that's not even the main obstacle. The real problem is that large drones are unable to reliably see and avoid VFR traffic. Technology isn't going to fix that any time soon, and the FAA rules which restrict large civilian drones to certain defined airspace aren't going to change. The real value of a human piloted helicopter for police work is that it can go pretty much everywhere.

https://skybrary.aero/articles/see-and-avoid

We will see law enforcement using more small, lightweight drones that are subject to much looser FAA rules. Those are useful for short range searches but can't follow a car chase or scan a large area.
Yeah, one of the documents I regularly refer to is 1600 pages on its own. It refers to dozens of other documents that are 1000+ pages each. That's just the hardware though. The languages running on it each have standards docs, which are further hundreds to thousands of pages of material I regularly refer to. Those languages are used to implement software standards, which might be thousands of pages per volume, and have dozens of volumes.

It doesn't matter how fast you read, you're not going to be able to read or retain all of that info.
From what I understand, it is both.
The problem isn't that mental capacity is finite, it's not (or the limit is too high to be relevant). The problem is that by spending time learning esoteric knowledge, you're only displacing time for more applicable knowledge.

VASAviation released a very long video afterwards with the whole conversation (LH talking to NorCal APP) and the written document from a controller explaining why LH was put on a holding pattern.

> What isn't reasonable is to hold Lufthansa for 30 minutes without any information or contact, then tack on another 10 minutes two more times.

Maybe because they had no available slots so nothing new to share with LH?

> And what especially isn't reasonable is to force them to divert to Oakland and say things like "this conversation is over" because your ego is bruised.

Well, LH threatened the controller with declaring a fuel emergency that would fuck up their sequence. I think the controller responded in kind.

> The NorCal controller was way out of line and with what passes for SOP in the US we're gonna have our own Tenerife disaster soon enough.

Somehow I don't think controllers care very much for company policies that they see as impeding their operations. It's not the first controller to do this to a plane if the captain objects to the instructions received from ATC in a busy airspace.

> On top of all that, PAL104 had received ILS just moments before without even asking for it (because it was in their flight plan).

Do you have PAL104 FP from that night? Because the longer video from VASAviation shows that PAL104 got an ILS clearance because there was a gap in traffic long enough to accommodate them.

On the fractional scaling side, precisely Wayland's advantage is that it works much better there than in Xorg.

It is not so much that it is fuzzy, it is that the two definitions are not exclusive.

A compilation translates a language to another, whether it is native code, internal bytecode, portable bytecode, or another source language. Compilation might also type check and optimize depending on the language. Interpretation executes a language; normally bytecode is executed, but pure source level interpreters exist. Native code is "interpreted" by the cpu itself of course.

For example JAVA is certainly a compiled language, but it is typically compiled to bytecode and then interpreted or JITed (which is a combined interpreter/compiler).

I think you misunderstand me, in multiple ways.

1. I'm typing on a Mac. It's an i7 with Monterey. I have been using Macs since System 6 on a 68000 in 1988.

2. Mac OS X is a UNIX. Not a figure of speech: it is registered and conformant.

https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/apple.htm

As such, Mac OS X contains software baggage that is over a decade older than Classic MacOS, released 1984.

It keeps more than you'd think.

3. Linux keeps more than you'd think, too. I can and do run WordPerfect 8 for Linux on Ubuntu 22.04, alongside MS Word 2003.

I wrote about how to get it:

https://www.theregister.com/2022/07/20/wordperfect_for_unix_...

4. On my Win11 box, I have Freecell Solitaire extracted from Win32S for Windows 3.1, released 30Y ago.

I don't need this level of continuity. I enjoy it. I still have machines that can boot into DOS and I have DOS apps I still use. But that is also fine in a VM.

But 30 years after NT, 54 years after Unix, I want all that legacy stuff gone.

I want legacy nonsense like "disk drives" and "files" gone.

I want an OS and apps in a type-safe native language, not some BS memory-managed VM. I have multicore 64-bit machines with gigs of RAM and these days I could fit terabytes of nonvolatile memory straight onto their memory bus. I want a transparent object store in persistent memory, like a modern multitasking Apple Newton that can handle live video and surround audio, that understands my voice and my tone and my gaze and can read my intentions and show me the results in VR.

I gave a FOSDEM talk about this. You might enjoy it.

That really impedes growth.
> youre not going to change it

I might. I once called attention to the once prevailing definition of "microservices" also not saying anything. At the time I was treated like I had two heads, but sure enough now I see a sizeable portion (not all, yet...) of developers using the updated definition I suggested that actually communicates something. Word gets around.

Granted, in that case there was a better definition for people to latch onto. In this case, I see no use for the term 'unit test' at all. Practically speaking, all tests people write today are unit tests. 'Unit' adds no additional information that isn't already implied in 'test' alone and I cannot find anything within the realm of testing that needs additional differentiation not already captured by another term.

If nothing changes, so what? I couldn't care less about what someone else thinks. Calling attention to people parroting terms that are meaningless is entirely for my own amusement, not some bizarre effort to try and change someone else. That would be plain weird.

CS Syd – Golden Tests
To me an interesting distinction is not between unit and integration tests, but between tests that are run quickly as part of a gate on commits in CI, vs. tests that are run more asynchronously searching for bugs.

The former must run quickly, and it's ok if the exact same test is run over and over. The latter need not run quickly, but benefits if new tests can be created and run, or if the tests incorporate randomness so they don't do the same thing each time they are run.

Here, it seems he was using tests intended for the first purpose for the second purpose instead. That can work, as it did here, but I don't think it's optimal. Better to have more exploratory, randomized, property-based tests chugging away in the background to find weird new ways the code can fail.

Yes - but the "approach and identify" of false positives/innocent people was the actual embarrassment and harassment that the system got banned for, it was the human review (asking for ID etc) that was the issue.
My understanding is that any app which has access to X (so any windowed app) had full access to all other apps which have access. So, any app with a window can read the input from any other app on the same system, e.g. your sudo password. Or, take a screenshot of your bank info in Firefox.
Let’s revisit this comment in 3 years when one of the increasing number of near misses has resulted in an accident.

I am usually the first to point out the cost of safety measures. But the increasing number of near-misses in the US suggests that it’s maybe not the time to brush off the risk.
I guess if you follow a rule-based system, with hard-coded rules, you are explicitly discriminating someone. How you came up with those rules, is another discussion - it could very well be that there's some legit reason for coming up with rules, that justifies them. I honestly don't know how these discrimination laws work in the US, or many other countries.

On the other hand, if you build some model/classifier, and say:

Given data/features, and some constraints, minimize/maximize for probability of partying.

Then that black-box model could be used to classify whether a potential renter is likely/at risk to host a party or not.

You're not explicitly saying "NO PEOPLE OF CERTAIN SKIN COLOR OR GENDER UNDER A CERTAIN AGE ALOWED", but rather your classifier is doing it for you, without stating it plainly - because maybe the above group happens to get classified a lot to the "party" group/class. Such models could have a lot of bias.

Pick was a multivalue database and operating system that was built to track helicopter parts for the military. If history went differently we might all be using multivalue instead of sql to store things.

The idea of a multivalue string is similar to comma delimited data but instead of commas, you use special characters called attribute marks, value marks and subvalue marks. You can think of multivalue as a nosql style database. You dump data in whatever form you want into the database and then you can easily query against it.
