This type of comment just seems totally unreal to me to the point where it's making me angry.

I have a laptop with a nvidia card and nothing works. From the installers crashing, windows freezing, full desktop freezes, awful performance, awful battery life under Wayland, every glitch under the sun from minor lines appearing on the screen to potentially physically damaging glitches like rapid flickering, and every other issue you could possibly imagine: it happened.

I mean it happened in like the week total combined that I was testing GNOME/KDE. Probably if I spent any more time on it my computer would explode?

Exactly, these diffuse international entities are merely responding to structures of incentives which are ultimately the government’s responsibility to create and enforce.

Contrary to the quote in the article, proper investment in response and mitigation has, so far, been proven to ~not~ be mandatory for making incredible amounts of cash, which is the primary objective of these behemoths.

Now that externalized costs are starting to personally affect members of government and enforcement, I hope we’ll see some meaningful regulation around accounts on private-but-essential digital platforms resembling a general bill of rights rather than letting private companies get away with nearly anything by default, as is the current state. However merely asking these pseudo-nation-states masquerading as companies to behave differently and expecting to be taken seriously is good for a laugh!

The problem with your breakdown is the implication that this all started with October 7th, as if Hamas is simply a terrorist group that attacked Israel, unprovoked, for no legitimate reason. I know this is the narrative Israel wants everyone to believe, but the reality proves otherwise.

If the average American had to live for even just a full week under the conditions that Palestinians live under, they would categorically classify the Israeli government and the IDF as the terrorists. I mean, Israel literally has, as a political and military strategy, the concept of “mowing the grass” [0] [1] to periodically terrorize Palestinians and they aren’t even particularly subtle about it.

It was just a couple years ago that I learned that the Unix compression libraries have a flag to make them “rsync friendly”. They do something with compression blocks to make them more stable across changes. Normally a small change in the middle of a file could change the rest of the output, due to bit packing.

I should really figure out how that works.

Not surprised interviewers aren’t very interested in looking at an app with you. Having produced some code that runs is the lowest possible bar to cross, and if your resume said ‘I wrote this app’, they are probably willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and believe that yes, indeed, you got an SDK to emit an executable that actually ran. Seeing the app isn’t going to give much more information.

I'd love a way to search for things, and exclude anything created after 2020.

On the other hand, if I'm interested in reviews of a novel written in 1988, or how to solve some particular problem using calculus, that information isn't likely to go stale.

> Canon absolutely owns the video market,

Even after reading other people's comments, this statement is absolutely mind boggling to not respond to it.

> Also, the TV and movie industry makes heavy use of Canon DSLR kit for their work.

I'm going to need citations for this claim. Nobody in the TV/movie industry likes the DSLR workflows. The record format is shite. The form factor of the camera is shite. The photo lenses with a maximum rotation of 90° for pulling focus from one end to the other is absolute shite. The DSLR movement was a godsend for prosumers and the wedding photographer being taxed with also capturing video.

Not sure how's that relevant.

Any valid JavaScript is valid TypeScript and you're gonna write and read TS anyway in the industry.

They aren't in competition, but coming back to the first comment it sounds reasonable to start directly with TS for many users.
Strangely, I first heard BB, all thanks to Napster. I just thought that is what jazz sounded like when I was very young, since I hadn't heard much of it at all except what came on our local NPR radio station.

It took me a few days on a 56k modem (thanks to failed downloads) to finally get one of the full 20+ minute tracks from the album. I think it might have been Pharoah's Dance mislabeled as the track BB... so many mislabeled songs on Napster back then.

This was around the time the Complete BB Sessions [1] came out... so that was one of the first albums I ever asked my parents for as a gift.

A few years after I got the album, I was traveling to a city, and while walking around downtown I heard one sound that sounded like it was identical to a sound from Pharoah's Dance. Whether intentional or not, I thought some of the cacophony of these tracks was intended to represent the chaotic energy that a big city can have.

Flow has about a dozen of important features that typescript lacks (while being 10x smaller in terms of LoC).
TypeScript isn't really a "compile-to-JavaScript" language in the same way that, say, Rescript is. Modulo a few corner cases (e.g. enums) which are now considered anti-features, TypeScript has the exact same runtime semantics as JavaScript - you can (almost) convert TypeScript to JavaScript just by stripping away the type annotations (and, if various ECMAScript proposals go through, you won't even need to do even that).

This is both a curse and the secret behind its success - it's arguably not a separate language, but instead an annotation layer on top of the existing language for encoding and checking your static reasoning and assumptions.

> The extension ID is derived from a private key that the developer uploads with the first upload to the app store

While what you described is possible, this process isn't required or the typical way an extension ID is generated. Typically developers just upload a ZIP file on their first submission, then CWS will generate and store a private key to sign the extension for public distribution.

> and the ID will change if any subsequent uploads include a different key.pem in their zip file

CWS should never change an existing extension's ID. The ID is what I uniquely identifies an extension. If the ID changed, Chrome clients wouldn't be able to request an updated version of that extension. CWS & Chrome do not support migrating users from one extension to another.

To the best of my knowledge CWS will reject an extension if the zip after the first submission contains a key.pem file.

> Therefore, if the extension ID changes, it's possible the owner changed.

If the extension ID changes, it's not the same extension.

> then the new owner could push changes without even needing access to that key.

This is mostly true, but there is one case where developers CANNOT update an extension without the PEM: if the dev signed the extension they submitted to CWS. To be honest I'm not even sure this is possible to do any more; as I recall this feature was a huge foot-gun and often ended up causing developers to lose their install base because they lost their private keys that they used to sign their own uploads.
This is, in my opinion, the book to use to learn JavaScript at more than a surface level. The only other materials I recommend as much (but for a different level of learner) are the “You don’t know JavaScript” in-depth book series.

In 2015, I was consulting for a distance learning program, administered by a major California University, that wanted to replace their current textbook (one of those “Head First” O’Reilly books) with something that had a bit more meat but was very approachable. I immediately recommended this and it was fawned over by both the advisors and instructors. It was also the cheapest option they had in the running (even excluding the fact it can be read for free) as it was competing against traditional text books. One year later, students were polled on it and it was met with a lot of positivity as well.
> Why not hire in a new CEO from the outside?

The fact that both founders with the company were done with it points to the business not going well/not being in a position to go well.

Clearly all the investor interests were very important in making this deal happen, but the root of it is that the individuals with the most investment, knowledge and leverage decided they did not want to pursue the opportunity any more, and the best deal they could scrounge together was an acqui-hire.

If the company had been cash flow positive, or on a path to that soon enough, they probably would have found a new CEO, but if they're just burning down investor cash, it makes sense to wind it down if nobody with power believes in it any more.
Oddly I thought this niche would have been the first target for LLM's.

It could seriously outperform human support for some queries.

The user claims their account was stolen, if they fill the report and attempted to log in from a known location/ip using a previously valid password you can immediately block unusual spending and use the attempt to further confirm they lost control over their account. Can quickly gather all kinds of fuzzy data, do they still control their phone/pc? Are they sending dubious messages?

The real fun begins where scammers try to do similar things simultaneously with multiple stolen accounts. If you bother to gather the data the patterns are much easier to find.

Having seen something like this happen once, what probably happened was the person OP is referring to was trying to get IP in order to start their own private sector startup, and probably get some seed funding from a regional government (eg. Beijing and Hangzhou did this in the 2000s to jumpstart their tech industry)

It's similar to the Israeli program in the 90s (who's name I'm blanking out on EDIT: Yozma I before it was privatized) because just like China in the 2000s-early 2010s, there wasn't a notable private sector VC industry yet.
This way of thinking is how almost everyone approaches CVEs, but is also out of date now. There are millions of open source projects (tens of millions really). This attitude of treating security bugs as some sort of special snowflake isn't realistic

There are easily hundreds of thousands of security vulnerabilities fixed every year that get no IDs because the current process is rooted in security from 1999 (the number is probably way way higher, but you get the idea)

Rather than obsessing over individual vulnerability IDs, we should be building systems that treat this data as one of many inputs to determining risk

Yeah screen sharing seems to be Wayland's biggest weakness. It doesn't work for me in Chrome, Firefox, OBS Studio, or VMWare Horizon (which explicitly says "Wayland is not supported").

Most of the others are just buggy, e.g. it "works" in Chrome but the window selector always shows the file browser icon at like 10x size so I can't select a window.

This is on RHEL 8, so maybe they've fixed things in the mean time.

I've been looking at house construction recently, and here in Berlin, the list price for the shell of a (cheap) normal house is about €100k, the turnkey price for the same (the shell plus all the plastering and plumbing and connecting utilities etc.) was about €300k, and the land was on top of that (another €200k-€250k).
> Even more niche. And I'm not saying it's not worth solving, I'm saying your niche isn't more important than other niches.

It was niche, but partly thanks to Apple, laptops started getting high DPI screens. Now even relatively cheap laptops have high DPI screens, but many monitors that you would dock to are not high DPI. Hence... Many people run head-first into this when they dock, connect a display, plug their laptop into a TV, or simply have a multi-monitor setup with one that would look better at 125% scale anyways.

It was niche. It stopped being niche thanks in part to Apple and hardware manufacturers chasing them, and that's when Windows started to support it better, too.

> As I wrote, my issues were all on Intel graphics. From 3 different generations.

I don't believe you are lying here, so please believe that I am not lying either. I have plenty (frankly too many, it's a bit absurd at this point) Linux desktop/laptop machines, and of the one UHD Graphics 600 machine (a GPD MicroPC), two Tigerlake machines (a Lenovo and a Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 Intel), and one Intel Arc A750 desktop machine, all of them work very well. And while I don't use all of those constantly, I use the MicroPC and Surface Laptop a lot, and they are among the most stable Linux devices I own.

So while I believe what you are saying, what I'm trying to suggest is that they're probably not endemic issues. This is pretty important for the sake of this discussion.

> Happy to see you confirm the impression I initially put forth though.

I hope you are not expecting people who are simply trying to discuss the future of Linux desktop stacks to be volunteering to debug your personal issues. Don't get me wrong, I'd actually love to help if I could, but debugging hangs and freezes that could be an interplay of any of hardware, driver and compositor is not fun and doing so over the Internet indirectly is even less fun.

I fully acknowledge the caveats of running bespoke Linux configurations on unsupported hardware. I don't advocate for normal people to do this. For friends who are stubborn and want to run Linux now on hardware they already own, of course I am supportive and try to help debug it, since I do this same thing all the time. But to me, these are issues that your system vendor should be helping to sort out, not something most people should be expected to figure out on their own. Even for the tech-savvy, it's not fun.

As for figuring out where to go to debug a hang, there's no particularly special advice for Wayland versus anything else that may cause systems to lock up, since Wayland compositors are just normal DRM/KMS programs that happen to speak the Wayland protocol. If the machine is not kernel panicking and can be accessed over SSH, I'd wager to guess there is probably something indicative in dmesg.
101 is above average 110 is where there should be notable advantage in more things as it's 1 std above the norm. The higher your IQ the more and more universal it tends to become.

So at say 150 you would notice that you would find most tasks easier then most people then say 110 where you would find less tasks more easier.

I wish for this too. You can get tiny screens with that kind of pixel density. My ebook reader is 300ppi and my phone is almost 650ppi!

It saddens me when I see people measuring things in pixels. It should all be measured relative to the font or perhaps the viewport size. The font size itself should just be how big the user wants the text which in turn will depend on the user's eyes and viewing distance etc. The size in pixels is irrelevant but is calculated using the monitor's PPI. Instead we get people setting font sizes in pixels then having to do silly tricks like scaling to turn that into the "real" size in pixels. Sigh...

Collaboration doesn't have to mean staring at someone while they're trying to code.

What I'm inferring from this truly bizarre thread is that some people assume that clarifying questions are always fronts for hidden motivations (such as springing "gotchas" or getting into debates). It might be worthwhile to consider that not all people operate that way.
