It's almost impossible now. NotebookLM really impressed me. I knew voice synthesis has gotten better than Stephen Hawking's "voice" but I really wasn't expecting having two realistic voices with emotions that even banter with each other. There is a bit of banality to them - they like to call something a "a game changer" practically every "podcast" and the insights into the material is pretty shallow, but they are probably better than the average podcaster already.
Thanks

According to this Wikipedia description of a window manager https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_manager, would it be fair to say that Wayland doesn't perform the role of a Window Manager very well, among other things?

What is the equivalent component of X11 that Wayland targeted at its initial inception?

It looks me to me that there has been a lot of deceptive promotion around Wayland, because something that was conceived foundation for a not as yet developed window management system was presented as windows management system.

It even makes one wonder if all the people who have been promoting and touting its benefits know what it actually was.

It sounds a bit like promising a car when all you are focused on are the engine and the chassis.
I was searching google images for "cat professor" recently.

What do you mean "solve"? This is solving the problem. If people see things they consider good enough, that's all they care about.

> For example, if we solve climate change with geoengineering instead of by addressing thoughtless consumerism, corporate impunity, and lack of international accountability, many people would feel frustrated or let down by the solution because it would solve the problem without addressing the moral shortcomings that led to the problem.

Oof. Now I understand something I didn't before
Can we connect to discuss more about the senior role ?
The agency running the program is not having tests made as you request one, nor are they having small batches made after some days worth of orders arrive.

Instead, they are guessing how many they might need for the "next 12 months" and placing a single large bulk order one time for that many tests.

If their guess proves to have overestimated how many are actually requested over the "next 12 months" then they end up with a supply of unused tests in their warehouse.

As requests arrive, they ship out the oldest tests first. If demand continues to arrive below their guesses as to usage, they end up with a backlog of tests that are nearing the end of their life.
So you're telling us you are receiving targeted advertisements for websites that don't even sell anything?

Color me skeptical.
I suspect those reasons:

- It couldn't find a feature-gap between buildroot and OE/YP in order to differentiate itself and attract new developers

- It is more or less a one-vendor project
I have considered it. I generally don't like people who fly off the handle immediately.

I really like your radar analogy
It's not about politeness. There is no shortage of media warning about racism. It's nice sometimes to read something about science and engineering without a political angle.

In the D programming language forums, we enforce a "no politics" rule. And you know, our members like this policy! It's a refreshing place to talk about the joy of programming, and not politics or cooking or motorcycle repair. There is no problem finding other places where people can do that.

Myself, I enjoy political debate, as you all know well. But not in the D forums, and not at the D conferences. All political stripes are welcome there, but not discussion of it!
I wanted to post something similar.

It's crazy how many people essentially jumped at their throat with obnoxious comments and even outright ridiculing the poster (see the "checkers/chess" comment as an example).

Quite literally the author explained the whole reasoning and they still "failed the test".

I haven't even read atlas shrugged but I guess at this point I'm curious to read it and possibly adopt a similar strategy: it's clearly working way better than intended.
You're giving them ideas.
Almost all of the "product X vs Y" results are AI ramblings now. This growth of the dead Internet is making me want to sign up for Kagi. We're going to need a certification for human generated content at some point.

All X11 programs already run under Wayland. There will always be applications that are X11-only and they will always work. This is a fake problem, IMO.

I guess you don't, but then again, I don't see you running Windows 95. I think this is maybe something you like to believe, but in practice people do want new things and new software.
thanks. yeah i will be the first to admit i've only spent like 2 days with htmx so i wont know everything (but still...)

re: hx-preserve. what if i want to "conditionally preserve" - preserve this element when my state is one way, but not in other states? i dont see a way.

re: hx-swap-oob. looking at https://htmx.org/attributes/hx-swap-oob/ i think it still does not address what i'm looking for. any master-detail list kind of UI will want updates in 2-3 places when 1 piece of state updates (aka ui consistency, ui as a function of state). i fail to see how attaching an attribute with 1 place for an ID solves that. perhaps theres another api for "multiswap"? even if it existed... idk if i'd be comfortable using it man (ofc, i am clearly biased/taught to "think in components" from 7 years of react exp)

If you're making claims about defamation and libel, at least be specific.
The premise of this argument is false. Pre-agriculture people were food supply constrained. Nobody is audiobook or other entertainment supply constrained today. And worse, modern farm produce is effectively worth zero. In many cases farmers are paid NOT to produce specific goods. And those who do MUST produce at purely artificial levels as to require the use of unsustainable, patented, and specialized chemicals or GMOs to break even. This entire line of research leads to spam and waste.

The direction of information flow
Oh, are the lines refrigerated or otherwise thermally controlled? I always presumed it was regular tapwater; i.e. probably slightly below room temp, but not much.

Mileage obviously varies, but the "beer nerd/snob" bars I've been to simply don't re-use glasses without a full wash. They'd rather just charge a little more to hire more dishwashers and be able to absolutely guarantee that there's no leftover beer/water in your glass when they refill it, and that the glass is refrigerated if that's something they want.

I've always heard the head/foam had more to do with how you pour the beer (more impact/movement = more foam), but it makes sense that temperature affects it as well. There's some kind of official course on how to pour Guinness to get the correct head on it. I don't remember the whole thing, but it was something about holding the glass the correct distance from the tap and tilting it so that the beer "slides" down the side of the glass rather than a direct perpendicular impact with the beer already in the glass (which makes more foam).
In the web framework world, libraries are moving from a react component style of authoring to an older knockout based model. This means, instead of rendering an entire block of HTMl on each render pass, just a minimal subset will be rerendered, as the variable is bound to specific DOM elements. This effort started with Knockout, fell out of favor, and saw a resurgence with the success of SolidJS. Svelte has started moving in this direction. It's my opinion that React's compiler will eventually serve the same purpose to allow their giant user base to get the same benefits.

In the web performance space, there's some interesting stuff happening in origin trails around shared dictionary compression. It has been tried and failed before but the latest iteration/spec hopefully improved those shortfalls that made them unusable. Also, ZSTD compression has taken the crown from brotli.

Metas new AR glasses seem to be approaching the ideal hardware, IMO it's still searching for its killer app. Microsoft exited the AR space by killing hololens.

Startup space is dying right now, with very low VC risk tolerance / interest. Some funds have returned money to investors rather than risk it in investing.
I think following what's written in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoiconicity#Implementation_m...) and only using the adjective for stuff like Lisp, Tcl, Rebol is better than diluting its meaning to the point where it applies to any language with tree-sitter bindings and a parser.
I hear you, and like I said, you're not wrong. But your position of choice is a privileged one, and I hope it doesn't prove to be only a temporary luxury.

> Is Amazon "the best" place to go shopping? No, you might find better prices on individual items if you put a little more work into it, but it's the most expedient.

It's not just that. Every time you do business with a new web site you assume additional risk. Amazon is a known quantity. You can be pretty sure that they are not going to outright scam you, and they aren't going to be hacked by script kiddies. There is a significant risk of getting a counterfeit item, but they have a very liberal return policy, so the real cost to you in this case is a minute or two to get a return code and possibly a trip to the nearest Whole Foods to drop it off.

Amazon sucks in many ways, but at least their suckage is a known quantity. Predictability has significant value.
Is this a joke? Right, women wear makeup, might as well AI generate every image we look for.

I've seen something like this in the Netherlands, although even more disgusting: They take the used glass, dunk it in a bucket that has brushes all around and in the middle and is full of soapwater, rotate the glass three times against the glass, take it out, and pour the beer in the glass.

Yes, the glass's sides are still full of the disgusting soapwater from the bucket that's now basically 95% other people's drink dregs.
Believing the software can somehow be separated from the hardware is a lie. They can mitigate at best the the amount of information one can extract but at the end whoever control the hardware can have access to extremely private information.

A gyroscope sensor is able to accurately record what one say close to his phone. It doesn’t even need Android to run he has access to private information.

Its ancestors wanted to feed the Roman army, and to ensure that the recently conquered stayed conquered next year. I don't think it's much different today: provide legitimacy to cases where those with power want to coerce those without.

The modern wrinkle is that our effects on the world are more significant. This design has side effects (re: the climate, to name just one). These are side effects which we may not be able to tolerate forever. I think that money, being a status-quo preserver, "wants" us to ignore them for as long as possible, but since they're cumulative, that's going to be tougher sell as time goes on.

Also, It's an information technology. As the makers of such things I think it's up to us to figure out what the next version should look like.

Why reinvent a graphical interface in the terminal? If we are playing chess in the terminal, we are likely happy to accept abstractions and such. You could use normal letters for the different pieces, perhaps using lowercase for black and uppercase for white. Even the "grid" could be an optional setting, placing a slight emphasis on user skill in being able to visualize the grid on their own.

A B C D E F G H
8 r n b q k b n r
7 p p p p p p p p
6
5
4
3
2 P P P P P P P P
1 R N B Q K B N R

This to me feels more like truly playing chess in the terminal. Add a non-interactive session mode, for example "chesst game123 view" to produce a view of the game, and "chesst game123 e2 e4" to move the pawn infront of white king two squares up. Naturally moving a piece can by default also print the new board state, after the opponents move. Implicitly prompting you to move again, or to just leave the terminal and do something else.
Believe it or not its made quite a few people laugh

The Courage to be Disliked
None of the primitives are necessarily too complicated, but off the top of my head things like /: \: (encode, decode), all the forms of @ \ / . etc, don't have directly equivalent numpy functions. Of course you could reimplement the entire language, but that's a bit too much work.

Tables aren't niche, they're very useful! I looked at cloudpickle, and it seems to only do serialisation, I assume you'd need something else to do IPC too? The benefit of k's IPC is it's pretty seamless.

I'm not sure what you mean by inefficient hacks, generally you wouldn't try to construct some complicated ADT in k anyway, and if you need to you can still directly pass a dictionary or list or whatever your underlying representation is.

It sounded like we agreed when you said that your phrasing meant the same thing as my phrasing.

We agreed that a contract was offered which, if accepted, would revoke the GPL right to fork.

We agreed that the GPL doesn't allow such a revocation of the GPL right to fork (even if it is part of a contract).

We agreed that even attempting such a violation (e.g. by offering such a violating contract) is itself a violation of the GPL.

Honestly, it sounds like we're in violent agreement. The only specific disagreement you've expressed is in the best way to word something among several options which you say are equivalent.

It is quite surreal to witness. It is certainly fueled by the commercialization of internet due to ads and centralization to user hostile platforms.

The old internet seems to be doing much better. But it lost most of its users in the last 15 years...
Japan has 34 000km (21 126 miles) of coastline.

Both trust and respect are important, and can be hot issues in public transit.

The NYC subway might be a great class equalizer for many, but much other public transit is firmly for lower classes.

One thing thing even more infuriating and humiliating than waiting for a bus that's 30 minutes late -- like your time and life aren't important, because the only people who ride this bus are those who have to -- is when the bus finally comes, 30 minutes late, and is overfull and not taking more passengers. Then, to the people a driver isn't letting onboard, drivers in some locales will say, "next one is right behind me", whether or not that's true.

Consistent with trust and respect, give the best information and confidence level you have, so people can act on that.

And respect them as equals, to also behave with dignity -- don't try to manipulate their sentiment, by misrepresenting or withholding information.

Funny thing is, despite being an avid reader, I can't really say what my "best" book is. But I can easily describe the best meal I've ever had: we were on a tour in Chengdu, and they took us to a restaurant without any introduction. The meal was good but nothing special, until halfway through, when that nagging feeling that the flavor wasn't quite right made me realize that this is the Buddhist fake meat I'd heard about. And I only realized because I'd lived in China and eaten lots of meals so I knew what things were supposed to taste like. I have to say, the fish soup was incredible, the fish even flaked properly. To be so good that it took me halfway through a formal meal (which involves multiple courses) to recognize it speaks to how well it was done.

I'd assume you'd just use the unicode chess symbols, nowadays? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_symbols_in_Unicode)

I'd also assume people would use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_notation_(chess) for the notation. No need to say "e2 e4" if "e4" is already non-ambiguous. Plus side for learning this notation is it can help read old games.
I'm working on an agent-based AI coding tool[1] that is trying to push the limits on the size/complexity of tasks that can be automated by LLMs, so I think about this often. I'm also using the full gamut of AI tools for development (I have 5 subscriptions and counting).

My opinion is that skilled engineers won't be replaced for a long, long time, if ever. While AI codegen will keep getting better and better, getting the best result out of it fundamentally requires knowing what to ask for—and beyond that, understanding exactly what is generated. This is because, depending on a particular prompt, there are hundreds/thousands/millions/billions of viable paths for fulfilling it. There are no "correct answers" in a large software project. Rather there is an endlessly branching web of micro-decisions with associated tradeoffs.

I think the job of engineers will gradually shift from writing code directly to navigating this web of tradeoffs.
