> Furthermore, which Wayland only apps might I want to run on my X11 desktop?

A bit late to the thread but this tool is very much something I've been looking for!

I want it not so much for current use cases but as a way of future-proofing my current setup since there is little hope that I will be replace it with Wayland anytime soon. I worry that a time might come when essential libraries and tools like gtk and web browsers might remove X11 support.

I gave the tool a go and it builds easily and quickly and it was able to run what I've thrown at it so far. One of my concerns was selection/clipboard syncing but even that seems to be working as expected.

It's nice that it doesn't even depend on wlroots which can be a bit of a moving target. It only uses the X11 libs and libwayland-server so I think it should be fairly future proof.

Overall I think this is a much better solution than cage which was the best option I'd found previously.
Then allow me to be clear that I'm not trying to handwave anything: Google needs to be eliminated, along with the rest of the ad industry.

The long term plan for any lawmaker is winning the next election. Anything further in the future doesn't matter much.

The long term plan for incumbents here might be building a large moat by regulatory capture.

OpenAI's auth seems broken on macOS' Firefox
I want to access ChatGPT from Firefox on macOS, but I can't pass the Cloudflare challenge.

I type my credentials, then get redirected to the Cloudflare page, pass the test, then get redirected again to https://chat.openai.com/auth/login, unconnected.

I tried to inspect the request but got nothing. I also tried to put a wrong password with exactly the same result.

The only solution I found was to connect from Safari and copy every session cookie from Safari to FF, which worked very well (to my biggest surprise! I thought modern session cookies would be tied to a browser?).

Anyone else having the same issue?
Well, I look forward to an easy refutation then.

Which would still be great; I loved those games.
"Ecosystems" certainly are a real problem, although I think calling them "evil" is a bit far. What they are is a way for companies to create an artificial moat, and artificial moats are very bad things.
Fascinating. I am only familiar with this definition of the word! To me, "nonplussed" has always meant "unimpressed, indifferent", adjacent (but not quite identical) in meaning to "nonchalant".

I love watching language evolve before my very eyes, it's literally the coolest thing ever!
Depends what you mean by mild. For me, going cold turkey from nicotine was migraines, severe anxiety, irritability, and fatigue. Not life threatening, but I was unable to function. That said, tapering off with a controlled time-release dosage (patches) was sufficient to reduce it to actual mild discomfort for me.
Forget ints. What FP precision? That alone could skew numbers.
The short answer is that the US is a direct supporter of Israel, that Israel’s genocidal war against Gaza is funded by US taxpayer money, with US representatives speaking for genocide in the name of their constituents.

The longer answer is that the Gaza genocide the the big atrocity of this decade. It is has a large publicity, it is of a larger scale, there are so many stories around it, scandals, etc. that it catches the media attention very easily. Plus people tend to sympathize when they hear stories like that.

But the real answer is that people don’t really care about whataboutism. Just because they care about one issue, that doesn’t mean they must care about every issue.
I think that is right. The sweat spot is twofold: 1) A replacement for general search on a topic where you have limited familiarity that can give you an answer for a concise question, or a starting point for more investigation or 2) For power-user use cases, where there already exists subject matter expertise, elaboration or extrapolation from a clear starting point to a clear end state, such as translation or contextualized exposition.

The problem comes with thinking you can bridge both of those use cases - vague task descriptions to final output. The work described in the article of getting an LLM itself to break down a task seems to work sometime but struggles in many scenarios. Products that can define their domain narrowly enough, and embed enough domain knowledge into the system, and can ask the feedback at the right points, and going to be successful and more generalized systems will either need to act more like tools rather than complete solutions.

I spend about half a second estimating. I think, eh that looks like about 30 lines so I'll go 30k. Then it's "oops I was off by 5 lines", so 5j (or jjjjj like you) and I'm there. Unfortunately if I land where I go on the first try it's bad because my fingers leave the home row for a fist pump. "Yesss!"

The relative number bit actually drives me nuts. Mostly I'm fixing some code error "on line 465" of my code. I open up my spacevim and I'm always at line 0, so I have to gg then 465G and it's irritating. Probably need a better IDE.
It all depends on whether the AI proponents are right or not. If they're right, then of course it's a massive destabilizing threat. Even a weaker version, where there is no autonomy at all and it's all just the result of prompts, is going to be seriously destabilizing if it delivers on its promises. We really are not ready for a world of near zero cost fake everything.

On the other hand, like existing ITAR, this will manifest in extremely weird rules that have very little to do with actual safety.
Agree with your point about tech, and I don't know a lot about academia to disagree.

One of my issues as someone who works in tech is that it so much capital has poured in and so much attention was on the field that there are relatively few innovations where one can create value. OpenAI being an exception that also proves the rule. A true innovation that literally needs billions of $ to have a chance of happening. Microsoft or Amazon didn't need that kind of money to build successful companies on the back of new business models.
"kempt" as well. So I don't think the purpose is to only use words that don't actually exist, but where the negative is much more common.

The agile manifesto does not reject planning. It just says adapting to change is more important:

"That is, while there is value in the items on
the right, we value the items on the left more."

You still absolutely get requirements and plan. You just do it in smaller, more granular pieces.

Almost everyone I talk to who is critical of Israel is very careful to separate Israel from Jews.

In my experience, it's actually supporters of Israel who are adamant about equating the two, because it allows them to accuse anyone who criticizes Israel or its actions of being antisemitic. I think that's a terrible thing for Jews outside of Israel, and will lead to increased antisemitism, because Israel's actions are quite rightly leading to outrage practically everywhere.

> Do you also never support going to the hospital because your fever hasn't hit 40C

I think that's the wrong metaphor. Regulation functions well when it is 1 - clear, unambiguous, and consistently applied and 2 - conservative, in the sense of being a bit "behind the times". By this I don't mean reactive.

There are cases when those approaches can't be followed, for example when you see an army being built up on a border, medical cases (not just the one you cite, which isn't a regulation, but drug approval) and other incipient life-threatening cases. But those cases are messy, often wrong (but with a risk vs cost profile that makes it worth doing), and often controversial.

But this is simply an ipad. The kind of metaphor I think of is I'll speed at 120 km/h when my passenger is bleeding profusely, but if I'm late to a contract negotiation, well, I still have to drive the speed limit. A sense of arbitrariness discourages compliance with the rules.

Consider the EU ETS. They already had an example to follow (the north american SO2 trading scheme), had the emissions and other data, and it is indeed an issue killing people. But they took the time to make sure it was right, and it works great, a little grumbling aside. At the end of the day the ipad is even less than that, and so clarity and consistency serves the wider goal.
> nowhere does it state open source developers need "required shutdowns" or burdensome reporting for open source.

Any reporting to a gov agency is burdensome. It all exists to stifle private development.
What I'm describing is friction. In a market where demand changes over time, supply friction affects efficiency. The time scale over which the market reaches equilibrium and that time scale's affect on the people providing supply is what I'm talking about.
Show HN: I made a privacy friendly and simple app to track my menstruation
Hey HN,
after the app I actually used to track my period wanted me to log in and save my data in the cloud, I decided to write my own.

Most apps in this area are based on a subscription model and display far too much information anyway.

For me, a simple calendar is enough where I can add a few notes if necessary.

So that is the result of my work - a simple design and the data is only saved on the smartphone.
Interesting. I am as far from the medical field as could be. Will need to investigate that for sure.

You do use LSP don't you? There's refactoring tools there, I really fail to see how Neo/Vim is lacking in this regard. Sure, it requires some deeper understanding and setup, but that is the Vim way. For people that do not want to deal with this there's IntelliJ or VSCode.
I found this to be the case recently when I built something new in a framework I hadn't used before. The AI replaced Google most of the time and I learned the syntax very fast.
The main reason for the persistence of Nix despite its warts and general mess is just "first-mover advantage": it was the first, therefore it has more libraries/packages/development of the ecosystem than the alternatives.

Stop being lazy, go back to engineering first principles and it makes little sense to stay with Nix. Guix or any rewrite as a library in a well-developed language* makes more sense.

*For example, why are Haskellians using Nix so much instead of integrating its concepts into their own tooling?
First Google result for "China foreign direct investment" (no quotes) for me:

Using the Steam Family feature for this game would likely put you in violation of the EULA.
Yes the trick is knowing that you aren't actually investing, but speculating and gambling. Your money is not actually moving the needle in any significant way like a true investment (e.g. giving start up capital to your brother's small business), you are just a speck of dust riding a global corporation's variable cash flow and you are trying to siphon out what you can when you need to.
China don't "ban apps unless company sells it"

"non-adversary", implying that China is your enemy, this doesn't make sense lol, pure propaganda at this point

China tells ahead of time what the company is allowed or not allowed to do, then grant access if they comply

TikTok comply with the US law, otherwise it would have already been banned

The US is spreading some FUD to push some other laws and to prevent China from being leader in the US, they did the same with EU companies in the past, most notably French ones

Right, but this gameability could have been improved leaning more into reputation scores across the pagerank-style calculation. Yes, this means some manual curation, which Google is allergic to, but it's also much cleaner long run.

I agree Goodhart's law is inevitable for Google search, but it's very hard to game "high reputation human cares about it". The high reputation human has to be bought out, but that should also eventually trigger a downrank of their reputation as a response.
Now you're talking about HDR and general Android criticism.
Every government does this, it's a non-sequitur. The USA imposes tariffs to protect its companies/market (Boeing vs Embraer/Bombardier, Chinese steel and EVs, etc.) all the time.

If you want to do business in the EU you follow EU laws, you don't need to do business in the EU if you don't want to, it's your choice to abide by them or not. The incentive to participate is in the EU being a huge and rich market.
Worse than diminishing returns, today we should expect a new invention to be used against consumers rather than improve the world for us.

Consider the DVR. It transformed the experience of watching television before cable companies figured out they needed to acquire it and worsen it. The damage (to them) is done, we got used to fast forwarding through commercials and now that's a necessary feature with cable.

That could never happen today. Profit, advertising, and surveillance are too strongly built into the process of invention right now. Technology companies have mastered enshittification on a level that older industries never innovated on their own.

> Which is why memegen exists: it is a way to disarm Google's employees.

Are you in PeopleOps and trying to do the reverse-psychology trick with this?

I am only halfway joking. It seems rather strange to me that if memegen is such a helpful tool for Google higher-ups to suppress the employee discontent, given the string of recent memegen changes that caused large uproars from those same employees (removal of downvotes/overall score display specifically).

If anything, those recent memegen changes (along with plenty others) do the opposite of attracting people to memegen. If PeopleOps/higher-ups wanted to incentivize people to use memegen (so that they would waste time on that instead of unionizing), why would they make those massively unpopular changes to it?

Personally, I think Google higher-ups/PeopleOps are, at best, neutral on memegen or, at worst, negative on it. I am almost certain if memegen didn’t exist already since the olden Google days, it wouldn’t have been allowed to get created at the present-day Google.

It feels like insanity watching car OEMs recognize that CarPlay/AA is popular, then deliberately choose not to act on why it became popular.

The adecdata largely tells the same story every time the topic comes up on HN: built-in infotainment sucks. It's slow, out of date, and buggy, and doesn't sync the info people care about. Rentals throw the problem in your face because you are forced to go through the setup process anew every time because it's a shared vehicle. Not to mention that since it's shared I wouldn't feel comfortable signing into anything on the car's computer.

Apple had that product announcement a while back for their highly integrated CarPlay but it's been radio silence since then. Now more than ever is the time to put it on the market, if they have any intention of pressuring car OEMs out of their own boneheadedness.
Any chance you could expand on how the DAG is implemented in Rust for the execution engine? I'm trying to do something similar (not for spreadsheets but rather for a language: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/bitbake/bitbake-user-manual/bi...). I cannot find any good examples of how to implement something like this in Rust. E.g. should I use a graph library like petgraph, or roll my own?

A lot of companies heard that big design up front (BDUF) was bad so they decided to do no design or planning up front.

They're probably still using USAS. Written in 1969. In COBOL.

Someone at Sabre claimed the booking software had been rewritten in Java. I worked at a place that had over 350 people working in airline booking and saw that product in action. It was a Uniscope terminal emulator running in Java.

USAS is Unisys software for airline booking, and from someone in upper management in Unisys from a party a few years all Unisys does now is train people in COBOL to keep the 1969 booking code working. Unisys system probably still have Uniscope terminal code and drivers, just like most linux system still do VT100, 101, 200, etc terminal emulation. I recognized the Uniscope terminal emulator because I used to install them, and wrote some basic db front ends in a Unisys coding system called 'Scop' - an XML-like way of building quick multi-db input screens. It has a particularly characteristic look which is what the Sabre java client running in the browser looked exactly like.

The other option is a child's paper ticket - those can be purchased without having to apply for anything in advance.

Adult fares via Oyster/contactless may still be cheaper than a child's paper ticket.

You can use the Single fare finder to check the price of a specific journey - for both adult/child:
