So let's allow all big companies to do whatever the fuck they want, because otherwise "our economy would fall apart"? This is the darkest comment I read on HN.

Why does this distinction matter? Gnome on X works perfectly fine, Gnome on Wayland does not. Why does it matter it to state that Wayland is a protocol, not the implementation?

The simple answer is that, if one is convinced that religions are not real (not even necessarily an atheist, a deist can believe this as well) seeing their loved ones "wasting" (again, according to them) their lives on things that

I'm still using OnePlus 6. It's ok, I wouldn't say I love it but I use my phone only for chatting and browsing reddit so it's not worth a change. Besides, before I bought OnePlus 6 in 2018 I had a Samsung and it was a to

What are you trying to say? It's definitely possible, I even gave a link: https://www.beepbox.co The problem is can we do this using a higher level library instead of sending sound waves to sound driver.

That's honestly exactly what I was looking for. Either my google-fu is rusty or Google/github is not great for finding repos without thousands of stars.

That's the entire point though, I was trying to do this in browser. I already know how to do it on linux.

Not at all, it's actually the opposite. Security by obscurity is a terrible way of securing software since once someone backward-engineers it, you're hacked. Instead, if you open source it, all security researchers will be able to

Imagine writing code for an elevator. If there is a glitch in your code such that when the date changes from 1999 to 2000 it'll release all the ropes... that'd cause bunch of people to die. Something like this is exceptionally unl

In AWS Lambda you can run arbitrary processes in their serverless service e.g. my company runs ffmpeg in Lambda. Why does this have to be WASM in javascript engine? Why can't they just run sqlite by javascript forking to a C++ process

This type of bikeshedding behavior is a sign of technical immaturity. The more technical experience one gains, one usually becomes a lot more disinterested about small syntactic technical details of programming languages and more interested

I left my country about 10 years ago to come to US. I talk to my parents and friends every once in a while, so my native language is sharp but that's my only interaction with it (I read, write, speak, think, dream etc in (sometimes bro

If the throughput is fast enough 3+3=6 seconds latency doesn't really sound that bad. There are websites with that kind of lag. You can't use to build a chat app, but you can use it as a cloud for general computing.

I think the first tweet is a good argument. I personally think second tweet is not only a stretch it's the exact kind of tweet POTUS should have been using Twitter. He just says, in a normal manner, "I won't attend X" wi

Ah this takes me back. In a previous life, 5 years ago I was working in Carlo Sequin's graphics lab in UC Berkeley and I was writing a software to make things like this (focused on non-orientable meshes). You need to see his crazy roo

I bet it all boils down to what you're familiar with; but on PC if you have a linux distro you can essentially customize your computer exactly the way you want maybe minus some firmware stuff on your hw. I have an android phone and I&#
