atlintots··on Global warming has accelerated significantly
That race already started, but China is the only one participating at the moment. The US has been running backwards, though.
atlintots··on I'm not worried about AI job loss
You can't afford an apartment because the ownership class is working very hard to keep housing prices high while paying you as little as possible for the two decades you have been working. Not because some disabled person elsewhere is struggling to get by on government loans and welfare.

I'm assuming OP is not aware of APL, J, or similar array programming languages.
atlintots··on Show HN: Ferrite – Markdown editor in Rust with native Mermaid diagram rendering
Yes; it's also not open source.
atlintots··on A spider web unlike any seen before
Aren't spider webs kind of like glue traps
atlintots··on Mozilla appoints new CEO Anthony Enzor-Demeo
I recently learned of Flow, and I don't understand why people group it together with Ladybird and Servo, which are both developing the browser engine from scratch mostly, while Flow seems to be based on Chromium. Is Flow doing anything different compared to the numerous other Chromium-based browsers? Genuinely curious.
atlintots··on Disrupting the first reported AI-orchestrated cyber espionage campaign
I might be crazy, but this just feels like a marketing tactic from Anthropic to try and show that their AI can be used in the cybersecurity domain.

My question is, how on earth does does Claude Code even "infiltrate" databases or code from one account, based on prompts from a different account? What's more, it's doing this to what are likely enterprise customers ("large tech companies, financial institutions, ... and government agencies"). I'm sorry but I don't see this as some fancy AI cyberattack, this is a security failure on Anthropic's part and that too at a very basic level that should never have happened at a company of their caliber.

atlintots··on Time to start de-Appling
Neither are legitimate competitors to iCloud
atlintots··on Today is when the Amazon brain drain sent AWS down the spout
> I asked if I could schedule the interview after my final exams

Ha, my interview for an Amazon internship was an hour after a 3-hour final exam :-)

But the job market right now is quite bad, and after hundreds upon hundreds of internship applications I would've been stupid to give up this chance. I would work for Amazon in a heart beat.

atlintots··on Niri – A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor
Those are provided by desktop shells rather than niri. For example Noctalia [0], or DankMaterialShell [1] which is build for niri specifically.

atlintots··on Niri – A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor
In my case I've found niri's workflow quite nice for these scratch windows, since every new window opens to the immediate left of the currently focused window, and doesn't affect the size or tiling of any other windows, they're just shifted to the right.

I'm not sure, but I doubt it. You could try PaperWM [0] inside Gnome to get a feel for the scrolling WM workflow, and see if it's worth switching to niri proper for you.

atlintots··on Niri – A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor
You can't go in "any" direction, the infinite strip has a fixed height and extends infinitely to the right, so you scroll left-right. Then you have workspaces which are up/down but they are like separate strips entirely.

Maybe the video of the overview on this page will help: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/wiki/Overview

atlintots··on Niri – A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. The infinite strip extends to the right, so you scroll left-right. Workspaces are up-down. If that's what you meant?
atlintots··on Niri – A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor
Very often it's not a choice, a lot of companies only let developers choose between Windows or MacOS laptops for work.
atlintots··on Niri – A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor
Yes, this feature had been in the works for quite a bit since it required non-trivial changes to do it "the right way". Very excited to see these changes merged finally!
atlintots··on Niri – A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor
Yes, please see this page: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/wiki/Configuration:-Window-Ru...
atlintots··on Niri – A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor
That's true, you do end up with some windows hidden or partially visible. Niri is still tiling, though, so with proper management you can avoid making too much use of the infinite strip (though that would defeat the purpose of niri).

I don't use vicinae, but I just tried it out on niri and it seems to work! I might check it out, it looks interesting.
atlintots··on Niri – A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor
Niri recently improved it's integration with xwayland-satellite, so it's easier to run programs that don't support wayland now: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/wiki/Xwayland
atlintots··on TikTok has turned culture into a feedback loop of impulse and machine learning
For me, the worst part is that it is so hard to go back to previous forms of media. I often delete these short form content apps in an effort to quit them, but it is now so difficult to get engaged with "slower" forms of media. The thing with Tiktok isn't the length of the media, it's just how fast-paced and "catchy" it is. I could watch an hour long fast paced video just fine, but watching a slow paced show, or reading a book is so much more difficult.

It truly is like a drug.

atlintots··on Measuring the impact of AI on experienced open-source developer productivity
Its too bad the management people never pushed Haskell as hard as they're pushing AI today! Alas.
atlintots··on Show HN: LinkedIn sucks, so I built a better one
They should stop doing that then. Absolutely no good reason for it in the first place, other than discrimination.
atlintots··on My Journey Back to Math: A Short Review of MathAcademy
I'm doing a Math major right now as an undergrad, in my final year, and I've honestly lost a lot of motivation and passion for maths. I realized early enough I wasn't cut out for the challenging pure maths courses anyways, but I never imagined myself souring to the subject to this degree -- the courses are paced too fast, and I never feel like I'm able to take my time getting familiar and comfortable with the material enough. So it's nice to hear these accounts. I hope later on I can come back and learn more maths at my own pace, in my own time.
atlintots··on The Future Is Niri
I used AwesomeWM for the longest time before switching to Wayland where I used Gnome because none of the existing WMs seemed interesting at the time. I tried riverwm for a bit but it didn't work for me either. But lately I've been super intrigued by Niri -- it feels fresh and exciting. I've been keeping an eye on it and I can't wait to try it out!
atlintots··on It is as if you were on your phone
This is perfect for when I'm awkwardly walking past the huzz and need to seem like I'm busy on my phone.
