Interesting. Had no idea that Fritzing could even do PCB gerbers. (I'd only played with it once for a few minutes to see how someone else made some pretty wiring diagrams.)
Agreed. It is a profound realization once you grasp it. There are genetic factors and then the overall sum of your experiences. What you read, what you watch, what you listen to on the radio, who you hang out with, what you do for a living, what organizations you belong to, what family life was like as a kid...etc. It all adds up in little ways. I try to keep this in mind when raising kids.

In hindsight, my father and mother-in-law listening to Rush Limbaugh everyday was probably not very good for them. It is a small sample size, but I can remember as a kid how negative and angry the program was and how it certainly didn't put my father into a good mood and how it was kind of like a mind virus. I try to be more aware of advertising and propaganda, but it isn't easy. You have to be vigilant as even the news will use clips out of context. I'm not just saying conservatives are guilty of this either, but am using an example from personal experience.

On the first menu you can go into the game options and rebind the keys.
On the other hand, I think it's simplistic to equate picking options from a mental list as "free will". I think the point you are replying to is valid because if there's free will, it's not just "choosing from a list". The list itself (the options you present yourself) has way more impact on your behavior than what you choose, even. So the matter of the question is, do you have free will in forming a list.
For custom elements you may want to store data or methods that modify the element’s behavior.

I think it means RedHat takes opinions of their technical staff into consideration and thinks their money is better invested into Wayland.

> X HAS those things. Ubuntu's version of Gnome for example has supported fractional DPI scaling and per monitor scaling on X11 since I think 20.04. […] Xrandr has made this possible for years with some setup.

Right, so the problem isn't "nobody wants to work on X11", it's that "Red Hat management doesn't want to hire anybody to work on X11", and phrasing it as the former is extremely dishonest.
I don’t think the US invasion resulted in a higher number deaths than Sadam’s actions in the 80s and 90. Not that this somehow justifies how its aftermath was handled...

People dragged their feet on Wayland support for at least 10 years.
Seems like an objection that is slightly beside the point? The claim is not that literally any model gives the same result as a large transformer model, that's obviously false. I think the more generous interpretation of the claim is that the model architecture is relatively unimportant as long as the model is fundamentally capable of representing the functions you need it to represent in order to fit the data.

I’m aware. I am hoping to persuade it is better to not abuse the word as well. How we choose to frame things can help promote useful conversation or hinder it.

I’m detecting an argument that “other people muddle words, so I can too”. Yikes. Can ain’t the same thing as should.

Maybe I should be more specific: The words you wrote can be easily read as a crackpot suggestion that the FDA is seeking to actively harm people with ADHD. (I write this now after having reread the source comment.)

Cancer doesn’t know we are at war with it; neither does poverty. There is no one we can kill to solve these problems. Instead, hopefully, we are seeking understanding of science and human nature so that we can reduce these problems.

Anyhow, I can’t tell if any of my main logical arguments have gotten through, which is a symptom of a bad conversation in my eyes at least. I don’t view this as a debate —- rather as a process of understanding.
Cisco ios is the name of their switch/router OS and that didn't stop Apple using it for theirs :)
Go ahead.

The people who actually work on it decided that was not the way forward, and chose another approach.

There's one primary tool¹ to access these "package registries" (repositories) though, and it's a 1:n relationship with the tool being generally able to use more than one repository. JavaScript seems to be doing n:1 instead with a whole bunch of frontends to npm.js? And the "special" thing about JSR is that it additionally(?) has its own repo?

Put differently — the tool is the standard, and you have a choice of repos. In JS it's the other way around?

I would describe the JS situation as… hmm… "oddly tilted" in comparison to other ecosystems; the closest thing I can think of is Python's package management situation?

[¹] I'm not counting GUI frontends here, since I'm relatively sure they just call into the same tool.

Disclaimer: I'm a KDE user and mostly-inactive developer.

KDE has always been about the same size as Gnome in LOC and performance has been +/- the same as well, KDE just has more exposed settings which confuses people to think it's "bigger". At the time of Gnome shell in JS, KDE had much less performance trouble than Gnome, now they are about the same again.

There is a thing that Gnome has going for it regarding Wayland, which is that Wayland has been the default on Gnome for much longer, so yes, for the time being it has fewer problems there. KDE is improving rather quickly, but it has not caught up yet.

So Gnome is the showcase for Wayland right now and it should be used to evaluate what Wayland can and cannot do.

As a KDE user, I am personally holding out on X11 for a little longer because I don't need great fractional scaling and multi-monitor support, so Wayland buys me little.
Remember all those "independant" experts that were calling for the invasion of Irak because of those WMD?

There is much I left aside ofc, including anything related to the support of the ongoing "military operation" against the palestinian people.
I don't get how Wayland's performance and responsiveness is worse than X11's (at least according to this guy). Because X11 followed a client-server model with tons of layers added on top to make modern things work, and Wayland was going to get rid of that with a cleaner design, etc., yet it's slower?

No. Malware can easily run. It only prevents cracks from running.
X also has awful touchscreen support. When you use a touchscreen, you are just dragging the cursor around with your finger. In Wayland, touch support is what you'd normally expect (e.g. dragging scrolls pages instead of selecting text).

> Music is absolutely not getting worse unless you're only considering top charting music which is such a small fraction of what's out there.

But there's a crucial difference between what's out there and what people are listening to. There's a lot of obscure stuff that not many people are listening to. Whereas the top charting music is what millions of people are listening to. It matters a lot what's getting marketed, what the majority of people are exposed to.

Unfortunately, very few repliers are addressing the first point that I made in my comment: "GenZ and Millennials show a much smaller preference for their own decade's music."

A lot of the things I hate about flying are things that other people might well be fine with.

When someone tells me to arrive 3 hours before my scheduled departure time, to me it's disrespectful that they would waste so much of my time so unapologetically.

Other people might see it as no big thing, an enjoyable chance to sit and read, or do some people-watching, or a comforting safety margin.

When someone tells me to take off my shoes and belt and shuffle through a metal detector while they take my wallet and keys out of sight, under the constant threat of even more intrusive searches - to me that's extremely undignified. There's no other situation in my life where people can control what I wear, or presume to separate me from my keys and wallet.

Other people might feel reassured by the process, or see it as no different to going to a swimming pool.

When someone demands I walk a needlessly winding path through a maze of tawdry shops selling overpriced perfume, to arrive at an uncomfortable seat surrounded by garish billboards.... you get the picture.

Unless those organic food brands are structured as non-profits, they'll eventually need to make compromises on their value proposition, balanced in a way that shareholders/owners get profits while (hopefully) still provide a net-positive to society.

So far, not many for-profit companies have been successful long-term in balancing those two things, as net-positive for society is not strictly necessary for the ultimate goal, generating profits.
Maybe because no one bothered to improve it for over a decade? ;)

The Wayland developers have limited manpower. Obviously it would take a long them for them to get Wayland to reach a critical mass when there wasn't support from the community.

Sort of feels like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

What's stopping you from using (and even developing) X11? It's an open competition.

Wayland might reach feature parity in 2, 5, 10, or 20 years, and I'm fine waiting, because while X11 can kinda work well now, its archaic design with 10 levels of hacks will likely make it extremely hard to support new needs (it already struggles with some existing use cases).
It's odd. I often hear this, yet I have been professionally supporting Windows in production since version 2.01 in 1988, including deploying NT 3.1, in prod, before any service packs, in 1993.

It is the direct opposite of 36 years of extensive professional experience.

Linux is pretty tough. It will run on anything, and can cope with a lot of changes and damage.

I feel the opposite.

Desperately Trying to Fathom the Coffeepocalypse Argument
The first question is why is there a divide between CPUs and GPUs in the first place. Yes, the gap is closing and both categories are adding features of one another but there still is a significant divide. IMO it has to do with Amdahl's law [0]. In that sense CPUs should be called Latency-Optimizing-Processors (LOPs) and GPUs should be called Throughput-Optimizing-Processors (TOPs).

More specifically [1] we could also call CPUs long / deep data dependency processors (LDDPs) and GPUs wide / flat data dependency processors (WDDPs).

So how are you so sure that TikTok doesn't sell the data to the US anyway?

This way the same thing happens and china did also make some money. I don't see the argument that china having your data is somehow better than your government.
You literally just made that up. You probably think that everyone's salary got cut in half when the government stopped lying about the value of their currency.
Let's not pretend this isn't a more complex issue. "Should be proud" depends on their views of the military industrial complex, and the characterization of who is the "good guys" and "bad guys" is also much more complex in the real world. The US Empire isn't some pure benefector "protector of freedom" for the world. And it's also not an evil empire out to destroy the world. So it'd be reasonable to be against the use as it'd be for it.
> Companies are amoral, they literally can't be otherwise.

If you were to make a Venn diagram of amoral and illegal (including civil malfeasance) have a pretty large overlap. Eventually, the illegal part gets people (even CEOs) sued, fired and/or jailed, but the company might continue if it can afford to pay the legal bills.

> These big companies are applauded for being amoral because their stock prices go up.

I don't think any investors are applauding the mismanagement at Boeing. I suspect the leadership team there is checking to make sure their "golden parachute" isn't an anvil. Being amoral works for a while, but it is a very poor long term strategy.

> Boeing can replace their management and the company continues.

Society has decided that closing down large employers is a cure worse than the disease. Closing a misbehaving company sure seems like justice, but to the 43,000 people who depend on that company for a livelihood, and the communities, even small manufacturing towns that the amoral company is keeping alive, well, the network effects are serious. So the consequences are usually in the form of inflicting financial pain to the company, or directly enforcing consequences against the people who do illegal/tortuous things.
It is believable. It often comes down to driver/app devs testing mainly on X11 while Wayland has been mostly an afterthought until recently.

Same question - were you and are you continuing to actively interview candidates?

That's the mystery for me, why put the team through a charade that actively harms their productivity?

The only thing I can think of is the candidate disclosed something that would be a legal red flag and can't really divulge that is an issue without threat of a lawsuit. Or something came up in a background check, but I imagine it didn't get to that point if the candidate reached out to you directly.

It means regulators must work hader to ban this sort of harmful behaviour. In this particular case, Boeing stock is down 40% yoy. I’m sure the next management will think carefully before comitting the same mistakes.
This has nothing to do with web components. This is the behavior of built in HTML elements:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/IDL#conten...

If anything, web components make this behavior easier to control. They represent the ground truth rather than providing a leaky abstraction. The article demonstrates this in several places.
Just like work! I'm never quite convinced I am, though.
Why is Red Hat the one who has to pay for development? Why not any other Linux contributor? Ubuntu, Google, AMD. They don't want to hire anybody to work on X11 either. Why not you? That's why it's "everybody doesn't want to pay for development", which is shortened to "nobody wants to".
CPUs are also pretty parallel. They have multiple cores, each of which can execute multiple instructions working on multiple data items all in a single clock cycle.
Why should math trigger an alarm in engineer's mind?
