Is Qt still a good platform for new desktop apps? I often have to choose a framework for new line of business apps on Windows. The choice usually is WPF but I'd prefer Qt. Last time I looked into it it looked a really well thought out framework. And I am one of the weird people who prefer C++ over C#.

My only concern is availability of 3rd part components like data grids, reporting and other widgets. There are many of them for WPF but I am not sure they exist for Qt. Can Qt interact with .NET components?
I don't believe in even the most strict enforcement of an anti-micro-aggression policy would you get fired for a single instance of it, but the point is that you can make similarly innocuous comments, each aggressing in a unique way, to multiple people - which could be enough to get fired.

And I guess we have nothing to discuss. There is no comment that is okay to repeatedly make to the same person after it's been clear that it's uncomfortable to that particular person because that is then harassment. However, just because Allison didn't like the "Where do you grow up?" question doesn't mean it's harassment to ask that of someone else (though it could still be another micro-aggression).

I am not sure why you're specifying that this is "my" definition of a micro-aggression. This is the most common, and widely accepted, definition of "micro-aggression". It is possible the person quoted misused it.
Then twitter should stop coming to the dev community and begging for us to like them again.

When twitter was just shutting things down and making it clear they were going to make money off the thing, I wasnt surprised nor was I happy, they had clearly decided to monetize what other people were doing themselves, but worse.

Since then twitter has not done anything that I would consider engaging or of note, and from the articles I read on HN, in a crunch on how the heck to monetize their platform and are coming back to the dev community trying to win mindshare.

You can't have it both ways.
If it was the case that emojitracker was reselling that api access, I could see cutting it off.

But I think that a rich, robust ecosystem would flourish more around a platform that provided free API access to noncommercial projects.

Of course, it's conceivable that this API access costs twitter a significant amount of money - it is a lot of data, after all. Even a low cost could be written off as advertising within the platform. "Look at the cool stuff we could build on this API, let's make a commercial product and pay twitter for access!"
What confuses me about your argument is that you are treating a child as an individual without context. The human brain, however, has reviewed bajillions of bajillabytes of training data over the course of its evolution.

The brain is already wired to have certain types of perceptions, so by the time a baby is born that child is just looking for that entity that fits the mommy definition, not trying to define a that it will have a caregiver and the optimal strategy is to bond to that caregiver.

Anyway, there are lots of examples where what you are saying holds, kids drawing general conclusions from limited data, but we also have to remember that the human brain is not a blank slate, it is already highly specialized at the time of birth.

It's not the purpose of an VPN.

You clearly were not part of the launch of twitter.

They sought out and begged for developers to use their platform. Then they started killing the apps one by one.

Your comment while "wise" in hindsight is thoughtless, arrogant and tone deaf to the work involved in creating an actual product that users use.

There is a large difference between entitlement and disappointment.
...and this, my friends, is why I am bootstrapped.
No, to be honest - and I really expected you to drop this argument, which is why I didn't bother elaborating earlier - it was an emotional response from my side. The first version of my previous comment didn't focus on the word "silly", it read something like this: "it may not be right to call the other person ignorant, but, for this particular person, it felt soooo good!"

Just as you say, we're human, which is why "not everyone is capable of looking past personal attacks". Moreover, what we regard as "personal attacks" varies from person to person. Personally, I felt insulted by the specific kind of ignorance displayed by BinaryIdiot in his posts in this thread.

I know I shouldn't have and I don't think the downvotes are undeserved. On the other hand, I obviously have my reasons for feeling that way; judging by the font color of many BinaryIdiot's posts I wasn't the only one.

I read through all the posts in this thread before posting. BinaryIdiot talking about how he experienced "transpiling languages" in the form of CoffeeScript and so he knows everything there is to them... That was excruciating. Him talking about compilation and compilation targets was similarly painful. One of the versions of my first reply to you read: "I've been hurt in enough ways and enough times [by people behaving like that] to develop a little bit of aggressiveness towards them."

In all honesty, the point about how compilers work was just an excuse. I suppose what I really wanted to do was to tell BinaryIdiot how wrong he is about some things, and how irritating it is for me personally (especially today!) to see him talking about programming languages, compilers, and whatnot without first investing any time on research.

Well, it's still wrong and I should have just ignored the whole thread.

Indeed, the LM hash was easily cracked by l0pht back in the day since the lanman hash could be split in two and cracked separately, meaning it only needed to consider all 7 character combinations.

Also, note that with the rainbow tables (for both NTLM and LM hashes), it will give you a password that hashes to the same exact value, but not necessarily the same exact password. This is kind of obvious once you understand that the NTLM (as compared to LM) hash is just md4(password) and is just 16 bytes long.

So that's valuable as it will let you log in to the machine, but since it's not actually giving you the actual password back, it's not helpful for logging in to other non-windows systems that may have the same password. Also, it requires administrator level access, a local privilege escalation exploit or a physical copy of the disk, to the SAM database, any of which likely mean that cracking the password is irrelevant.
Agreed, I don't think the full stream is needed either. It think being built of the free stream will serve the needs of making it open and still provide interesting data. Relative(sampling) usage graphs even seem more digestable and interesting to me.

To be fair, I specified "civil." The thread started by referencing "micro aggressions," so I don't think strong beliefs in prejudices really apply here. I agree that most spaces (college or business) should be free of most types of aggression, but it seems to me that there is a subset of people who perceive aggression (or even go looking for it) when it is not in fact there. There is a cost to being too careful in what you say just as there is a cost in not being careful enough.

> They're not the panacea you're implying.

But they are - we have a hard-limited keyspace, with a fixed well-known and understood algorithm, which means, regardless of disk size, a rainbow table can (and has been) generated to cover the entire LM/NTLM space.

The myth of the Eureka moment (2009)
I see your argument as support for why it should be taxed just as aggressively. The people who can afford those kinds of drinks could also afford the extra bit of taxes. The companies could also afford those taxes, because the markup on those kinds of drinks is absolutely insane.

The tax on soda seems to be about correcting behavior and raising money, while the tax on sugary coffee drink seems to be mostly about raising money. And extra 0.10 on a mocha whatever isn't going to stop people from buying them.

> And most people who go to coffee shops don't drink that anyway.

This isn't true. I worked at a Starbucks while in college and frappuccinos are very very popular. The majority of people who go to Starbucks order drinks with sugar, especially after the morning rush where a many people will just get black coffee... some of those people also add sugar, too. Caramel Frappuccino's and Caramel Macchiato are 2 of the most popular items on the menu, and Frappuccino's are much more popular in the summer.
Folks who have this problem might want to check out Reviewable (https://reviewable.io):

1. Discussions are automatically treated as "issues" that need to be resolved before the review is complete. Resolving can be as simple as clicking "acknowledge" without following up, but there's also a rich system of "dispositions" that lets you block a discussion, resolve it unconditionally, etc.

2. You can set multiple assignees! (Only one will be reflected in GitHub, though.)

3. You can write a custom rule for determining review completion. One of the samples is "complete only when every assignee has sent an :lgtm:", giving the assignees explicit control over merge approval.

I know you've already decided against Reviewable danpalmer, but I figured others might still be interested. :)

I've definitely seen this. I've done a lot of financings in the Valley and have been on the board with companies that did so in New York. The NY investors seemed much more transactional whereas the Valley investors seemed to play a longer game.

I do mostly agree to that article, after having it skimmed now, but you miss one point: There are no sound arguments in these threads that one can refute, nor the post is an argumentative article. It is a product publicised here for discussion, and that happens.

I can write a proper refutatio on, for example the article you linked, because it is an argumentative text. Again here it's a free-form discussion, so the article does not apply. Otherwise it'd be like driving bolts into nuts with an hammer.

So it's one part what I say, one part how I say, and one part the context in which I say.

Hmmmm.

If I see a coworker that has some cool new shoes or a new jacket, I don't see the problem telling them. How is a cool new haircut any different?

Asking someone where they are from doesn't mean I think they are not "a true American." I might just be interested to know where they are from. That could be Cleveland or Dubai. I'm from the Seattle area. Are we not allowed to know anything about our coworkers?

If I saw a coworker juggling in the break room and I asked them how they got so good at it (because I have tried for years to get it and still suck at it) then we have some good conversation about juggling. That question doesn't come loaded with a "because usually women suck at juggling" qualifier. The same is true about math.
I think 10 yrs of zero interest rate policy by the Fed has as much to do with it as the "financial industry".

I, for one, can't wait for a return to a more normal 2-3% fed funds rate. It'll give pensioners a chance at a reasonable retirement, and bring house prices down a bit, but we won't get it until the fed starts to see a bit of inflation.

And, while "hate speech" is in the eye of the beholder, I've stumbled on far more misogyny, racism, and general assholery than I'm particularly comfortable with on imgur--particularly when it comes to sharing images hosted on imgur with friends on facebook (it now redirects links from facebook to the community discussion page for an image, if there is one). It may or may not be worse than reddit in that regard, as reddit varies wildly based on the moderation policies and practices of the subreddits. imgur seems to have no "safe space"...you can stumble on a shitshow at any moment, and a seemingly normal conversation can go shitshaped at any time.
The people in the US most statistically likely to be comfortable with technology are young, male, and white or Asian. So your reasoning suggests that it's OK to take any other group of people, pick one of their least sophisticated to represent them all, and call it statistical reality.

This definitely looks like a tragedy of the commons type situation. Companies act in self-interest by paying as low as they possibly can, with no regards for the damage being done to the Canadian talent pool.

Sidenote: Ubuntu's security posture appears slightly better than Debian's, but I'm a little vague on the details. Historically, Ubuntu has had people like Kees Cook working on security of their distro and relentless pursued AppArmor policies, adoption of exploit mitigations, and reducing the footprint of the default install. Any way you can make it more distro-agnostic so I could run the installers on Ubuntu instead would be appreciated!

Yes, but these things don't occur in a vacuum. For example, the word 'boy' was used demean african american males by whites for much of our history. Now even if they are, in fact, a young male using that word in reference to an african male is about as offensive as it can get.

It may be unfortunate that because men oppressed women for so long that there are certain conventions that have taken on offensive connotations. But I assure you, the inconvenience of getting your own coffee is nothing compared to the experiencing the history leading to that act taking on a negative implication.

I've never worked in an office where people took turns fetching coffee for each other as a matter of routine though I'm sure some do. I seriously doubt there's a wave of women refusing to take a turn in such an ordered affair. I personally know and seen of many, many women who've been told to fetch coffee for a room full of equals that are men.

> the trouble is you constantly have to ask yourself "could this statement be read the wrong way"

It's only really a trouble if you're in the habit of being casually offensive. If you're not, it's just a small check no different than when in a group being generally polite and respectful.

Ultimately, in my experience those who are most bothered and vocal in their complaints about being considerate tend to also be those that are most likely to do offensive things like objectifying women, making racially offensive remarks, etc.

This is incorrect. Microaggression is a theory developed at Harvard in the 1970's by psychiatrist Chester Pierce. [1]

As a bit of perspective: I'm from germany and worker protection laws here are really strong.

It is common in many companies for there to be a two-way 6 month firing/quitting limititation, meaning: At the point the worker turns in their quitting notification, they can make an agreement with the company to be let go earlier, or the company can insist on them staying the full term. Similarly when letting a worker go, the company has to let them know 6 months before that, though the worker can agree to leave earlier.

Of course faster firings are possible as well, with "immediately" usually reserved for "breaking a law". Additionally workers can be let go early for performance reasons, but only after three separate, paper-trailed notifications of such issues. Additionally, those are unlikely to be trivial, since a worker can sue their company for the remaining wage, if fired unfairly, and if successful the company will have to pay all legal bills of both sides.

This means that both sides here tend to make a lot of effort to avoid firings. The company because it's just easier to help an employee improve, and the worker because they'll see it coming.

I've been in the situation myself where a company expected certain things of me, that just didn't fit my nature and health. We tried to improve things informally for a while and i kept failing. Then we had a serious talk and agreed that things wouldn't work like that, and now i contract for them, with both sides being very happy.

--

An important contrast between that, and the american system, is that i knew at every single point exactly how far away i was from being fired. Due to the wording of my contract, i was at all times, right up to the end, exactly 3 months away from being fired, at least. My livelihood was never in danger, and i was given plenty motivation to help both myself and my company, instead of being put into an adversarial situation.

I think the endgame here is having the business end of your company near capital/partners/customers and the operational/R&D end in a lower-cost area.

I'm all for moving to a lower-cost area, but you can't deny the huge benefits that come from being near hundreds of funding sources and partners that SF/SV of today offers.

In time I believe innovation will follow the innovators (not the money guys) but that day isn't today.

It would help if Macy's and Nordstrom created an affiliate program like Amazon has. Amazon lets you promote individual items and it only costs them 4% that is almost nothing compared to what Amazon gets in return.

Nordstrom has a nice online e-commerce system that handles millions in sales, I could not imagine it being that much more of a stretch to offer such a program.
