Some cognitive dissonance going on here. The vast majority of current Linux Desktop users are on Wayland, and X11 is phased out across the board. Calling it hype is absurd.

So I guess Windows is actually the future then by your argument because that's used by even more users.

The cognitive dissonance I perceive goes like "No one is being paid to work on X11, therefore I should volunteer to work on Wayland."


Sure, but do you have any facts to backup that assertion?


Good modern protocols will explicitly define extension points, so 'ingoring unknown JSON keys' is in-spec rather than assumed that an implementer will do.

it's nice to be able to use https locally if you're doing things with HTTP/2 specifically.

Nobody is interested in AI commentary.


That seems incorrect. This sub-thread is the longest already in this submission, and no other commenter remarked about the parent commenter being an AI.


or 'cascade' ?


Well, I just remembered that in SQL "ON UPDATE CASCADE" is specified on downstream keys (children), not on their target (parent).


I replaced all my Dropbox uses with SyncThing (and love it). I run an instance on my server at all times and on every client.


+1 for SyncThing

I have it installed on my immediate family's devices to ensure all the photos are auto-backed-up to our NAS (which is then backed up to another NAS).

I need to check to make sure it's still working once in a while (every couple of months), but it's usually fine, and even if it's somehow stopped working, getting it running again catches itself up to where it should have been anyway.


If you think about it the spirit of the internet is based on collaboration with other parties. If you want no third parties, there's always file: and localhost.


Yeah I would argue that it's possible to do it well with Backbone, and you end up with something much leaner but it requires a really strong understanding of state/event flow and lot of discipline, whereas with React the correct way to handle this is the 'obvious' path, which dramatically lowers the barrier to entry.


And now everyone has phantom unreads again because it is cyclical and a different team is in charge of every other div


A good engineer is not a perfectionist, but they're not callous either. It's knowing when to make the trade-off, or at least making an informed guess.


that's half of engineering


that's half of a comment


one of many things, but agreed


For me they are weirdly hard to obtain. Don't show up in second hand shops. Ebay shipping is prohibitively expensive.


Interesting. I still have a bunch showing on my local Facebook Marketplace, but who knows what shape they’re in plus it probably varies a lot from city to city.

I can well imagine that it’s gotten expensive finding a quality one (eg trinitron) of reasonable size.


They are truly dying out. Wish I'd kept my color c64 monitor -- it would probably be worth a lot now (or at least would be awesome to use for retro purposes).


They don't show up in second hand shops because their value is essentially negative. If it doesn't sell, you have to pay to dispose it.
