The company had avoided certain destruction, after having fired the previous CEO and putting a new one in it’s place. The new CEO had managed to bring a newfound calm to the company and it’s ranks, and brought an air of meditative discipline to board room meetings.
Some said it was crazy, but making the LectoFan EVO the new CEO was the best decision the company board had ever made.
I find it very hard to believe that AI will ever get to the point of being able to solve novel problems without a fundamental change to the nature of “AI”. LLMs are powerful, but ultimately they (and every other kind of “AI”) are advanced pattern matching systems. Pattern matching is not capable of solving problems that haven’t been solved before.
You know the kind of guy who does nothing but browse the internet and then wonders why his life sucks? One by one I’m gonna make up for all the grass I didn’t touch.
While this doesn’t work all the time, when it does, it’s really fast. Similar to the isPrime function, it’s correct most of the time and is much faster than alternative implementations:
What your code can do is run this first and if it returns false then do a quick double check using a traditional isPrime function. Really speeds things up!
Nah, you’ve always got to check the corner cases. It’s a variation on Murphy’s Law - you don’t encounter corner cases when you’re developing a program but corner cases are 99 percent of an everyday user’s interaction.
Better. Return true if the number is in a stored list of known primes, otherwise return false right away. But then, start a separate thread with an actual verification algorithm. When the verification is done, if it was actually a prime number, you just crash the program with a WasActuallyPrime exception.
Seconded. Although that very much depends on the compositor of choice: I’ve been trying out a few new shiny things (well, pinnacle, strata, buddaraysh), and they aren’t exactly usable rn. With the exception of the latter one, probably (since the author claims to use it), but I haven’t been able to start it so far… On the other hand, major players like hyprland and sway work perfectly fine on my machine :tm
Can I use AwesomeWM, XMonad, or StumpWM on Wayland?
Can you run macos software on linux?
Can I run a GUI program over ssh?
This is more of a why would you… Although, waypipe
Does it support the X selection and clipboard protocols?
Too lazy to google, but overall clipboard works as expected, both C-c and text selection. I remember experiencing problems with clipboards in vim (like 2 yrs ago) which were fixed by switching to nvim
Wayland only keeps the clipboard until the application exits. This means a clipboard manager is basically a requirement. Iirc desktop environments might solve those issues by default, but on a wm just add a clipboard manager and enjoy the history.
I’ve added a keybind for deleting history, but it’d be great to have a way to specify short lived clipboard entries. But this might also be one of those standards that no one implements.
No you cannot run any of those WMs, some of those do have ports with varying degrees of completeness but only sway(i3) and hyprland(hypr) are ready for prime time.
Yes, using waypipe
Yes, primary selection does work along with Ctrl+c although as others have mentioned it forgets when the app you copied from gets closed
Wayland compositors run entirely in userspace and do not interact directly with hardware drivers. If Wayland doesn’t work on nVidia but X does, it’s a Wayland problem.
Compositors do directly interact with the drivers though. The reason Wayland doesn’t work on Nvidia is because Wayland uses an API called GBM(generic buffer management) to draw directly to the Linux VT. The Nvidia drivers don’t implement that API, the API that both AMD and Intel drivers support. It very much IS an Nvidia problem and not the other way around. Nvidia tried to convince all the Wayland developers to use EGLStreams instead but no other drivers use(or even support) that API, everyone agreed on GBM except Nvidia. That’s not Wayland’s problem.
I have no other skills that would pay anywhere close to what this career pays. I’d need to go back to school and become a surgeon or something. I don’t think they let people become surgeons at 50 years old, and I don’t have the energy for an internship and residency. I’m just hanging on and hoping that it doesn’t all vanish in the next few years. I’m also spending time learning how to leverage AI, since I think that’ll put me a step ahead. Good luck to all of us, we’re going to need it!
