Yeah, but Wayland won't ever be able to "catch up to X11", because it's broken by design. (See my next comment.)

This is quite wrong. To log in to Discord, I have to provide my e-mail address, be logged into a Google account (because of reCAPTCHA), and possibly even open my mail box to confirm to Discord that I am, in fact, me. This is the Web experie

There are many companies that deal in (and sometimes operate) cyberweapons and spyware, usually with governments as (often malicious) clients. Some examples besides FinFisher/FinSpy are NortonLifeLock (Symantec, Blue Coat Systems), Gro

That just tracks the error bounds on individual "small" operations. I think this is more like what you want, an interval arithmetic library: https://github.com/eseraygun/rust-honestintervals The point is that

That does not provide an ULP distance function, rather it tests for approximate equality while using both relative and absolute error margins. Also, a warning: the code behaves as if numbers of opposite sign are never "approximately eq

I think the real problem is that IEEE 754 floating point almost always gets treated as black box that magically provides the behavior of real numbers, which is impossible. Instead of recognizing that the abstraction leaks in cases like thes

The responsible component in the CRT is probably the flyback transformer. Supposedly replacing it with one that is more well made or applying some high-voltage silicone putty to it should prevent the sound. Of course, this DIY solution doe

Zimbardo (the Stanford Prison Experiment) is a fraud. You can check Wikipedia, and even on HN there were many stories; search for "Zimbardo" or "Stanford Prison Experiment".

What kind of argument are you making with your first sentence? Regarding the rape, this is what Wikipedia has to say about it: > On 20 August 2010, two women, a 26-year-old living in Enköping and a 31-year-old living in Stockholm, report

Yeah, but for the fact that Melzer is full of shit. He's basically a demagogue; making many vague, unsubstantiated, unverifiable or nonfalsifiable claims. Turns out that Melzer's only concrete accusation is based on a misreading o

PTFE is a wondrous material, but: PFOA was phased out in US and EU AFAIK, but was for a long time used for making PTFE while contaminating water supplies and drinking water. There were many lawsuits in the USA, see links at end. But note th

Are you referring to DuPont when you say "they"? I'd assume there would be many producers since PTFE is an old invention (~1940).

I am not in any way invested in the Maduro regime, but it would be simply stupid to "want to be convinced" of something like this. When I saw a lot of journalistic coverage of Maduro that is not just non-neutral in the presentat

x86 has a quite variable instruction size, up to 15 bytes. So an x86 decoder will be more complicated than an ARM or RISC-V decoder. I'm pretty sure that means that designing performant IP is more difficult engineering-wise for x86.

I appreciate the link to the UN's press release for the new report, but note that my point stands: the attacks on Maduro happened long before this report, so long before they could have been justified. Furthemore, considering the attac
