I still haven't found a clear answer to that, but using the LGPL license could pose a problem, because you need to allow the user to recompile the application with his own version of Qt.
On iOS shared libraries are not allowed on the store, so you should distribute the files for static linking... it becomes quite messy and sort of unclear from the legal point of view.

Most of the rest of the world seems to go the other way: voice calls are rare and reserved for emergencies, SMS has been replaced by WeChat, WhatsApp, LINE and the like, and a data-only phone would be much more useful to most than a voice only device.

It depends on what you mean by, "cross-platform." In my world there is no such thing. You pick your target platforms and program to them. However it is common to imply "major platforms" (ie: iOS, Android, Windows 10, OSX). Different platforms have different requirements and will shape your solution.

Next... what is the application? Do you need to target native APIs? Do you have memory limitations?

If you don't mind taking up a lot of memory try one of the "cross platform" systems like Xamarin or some Java-based solution. If you need to be more constrained try writing to the native APIs and porting your project to each target platform you need to target. Lastly if you're highly constrained maybe you need to try an immediate-mode style library like Nuklear[0].

It really depends on your needs. There's no one-size-fits-all.

In the end every form of government is democractic, simply because it's not possible to maintain a stable government over a population that is not satisfied to some degree, you get revolutions otherwise and this is how democracy or at least regime changes happen.

Democracy makes sense because governments make mistakes and those need to be dealt with. Democracy is able to deal with that very nicely.

At the moment the Chinese government does a very good job and have the benefit of pretty much everyone else in the world who matters being highly interested in seeing China succeed. As longs that doesn't change - and I find it very hard to imagine a scenario where it does - China won't become democratic.
To address the "started using newer versions of Node and Chrome" point, since NW.js v0.13, on the day a new version of Chrome hits the stable channel, a new version of NW.js is released matching the Chrome version. At the time of those releases, NW.js ships the current stable version of Node. So as of late, NW.js has been ahead of Electron in being more up to date with Chrome and Node. There is also a corresponding beta version of NW.js that tracks the Chrome beta channel.

It's too late! Have you seen another search engine make a dent in Google's market share? How about another OS challenging Windows on a PC? Another social network?

It is rather obvious that: if the main purpose of a business is to grow revenue/market share, if successful, it will eventually grow to close to 100% market share.

This situation, commonly known as a monopoly, cannot be reversed by free market competition and government needs to step in, like the US government did by splitting the telcos.

I can only guess (I am no expert) the challenge here is that government faces a legal void since these services are free as in no money was paid to use them. Owners of these services are on the ad business and there is plenty of competition there.

Government has no interest in protecting our privacy either, on the contrary, they want in!

We're left with two options: be a hermit and stop using FB and Whatsapp, or hack the system: install ad blockers + develop unofficial APIs to interact with these services on your own terms.

That only goes to show that for people with money, citizenship becomes a choice and you get a market of countries that are in competition.

Countries compete in many ways and form of government is just one and might not even be the deciding factor.

This might become a problem for China in the long term but I don't think it's certain.
No description? Just download these random zips, run the exe's? I assume this is just a bin icon for the tray so you can get rid of the desktop icon which used to bug me too.

That's one scary implication: they can't.
They are the same.

If energy is the only input to making a solar cell (the worst case) and the cell costs x Wh then the market price can't go below x * ($/Wh), so it pays back when you produced x Wh (thus not buying x Wh from the coal burning power plant) and any energy you produce is both profit for you, and also less total demand for coal energy.

You have a good point re roof penetrations. There are too many cowboy solar installers casually drilling holes thinking a blob of silicon is enough to seal out the rain. Also, when you eventually want to replace the roof handling and reinstalling the panel probably doubles the labour costs.
No seriously. Maybe wear some kinda suit?
Thanks for the link. One remark thoug / I've looked at some song from famoust bands, and i saw things like "3/4" or 6/8 ( which was in fact more like a 4/4 with strong 1 and 3 hits, filled with a ternary drum pattern) , flagged as unusual time signature... The other were indeed made by famous artists ( such as bjork) but the songs themselves weren't popular... Anyway, let's hope people continue to try. You'd probably need to invent a dance for the thing to catch on in pop music.

For my particular experience, that still wouldn't have helped. First, the storms that knocked out power mostly occurred at night and had 100% cloud cover, so we're talking about total darkness. There was also really heavy rain or snow, which I'm sure makes the panels less effective even when there's light hitting them.

10% or less power wouldn't be enough, I think. The goal would be to keep the refrigerator and some lights running, and during the winter my heating system needed power for the electric ignition on the gas-burning boiler. (Why those things don't have a backup manual spark ignitor, like a gas barbecue, is beyond me.) During the storm this would all be without power, though I guess solar would help during the day once the storm passed, so long as the panels weren't covered with snow.
Goodness gracious, I hadn't realised adverts had gotten that bad again. You'd think with the ever-increasing backlash against web site advertisement they'd balk at such behaviour on their web site.

Completely agree.

I personally have no problem using commercial software, but my password manager is one place where I suspect that I should be moving to open source in case I don't want to renew my license over some future pricing disagreement, and I lose access to some of my critically important property (passwords).

It's tempting to think that we'll be able to keep our currently purchased standalone licenses in perpetuity, but I've already been dragged through at least one major version upgrade of 1Password to keep pace with new OS developments (for OS X and iOS). There were no new features that I needed or even wanted, but I paid the $50 (or whatever it was, I notice a new license is now $64.99!) anyway to maintain compatibility.

Unfortunately, the landscape for open source alternatives doesn't seem particularly good. Some of those mentioned here like Keepass [1] look like they're usable, but are quite a far shot from 1Password's quality.

How did you filter out duplicates or old ads?
It depends, of course, and I assume you're not drawing a black and white line, but I agree.

For many years in my professional career, I was getting annoyed at interruptions and complaining. I've done intentionally anti-social things to prevent getting interrupted. (They rarely, if ever, actually worked.)

But I also watch programmers (including myself) code like crazy and resist interruptions solving problems they don't actually have, and if they'd stop to check in, they'd find out the cost of the context switch is trivial compared to the cost of losing hours, days, or even weeks to coding the wrong thing.

As programmers, we'd do well to learn how to be the ones doing the interrupting rather than wait till it comes at us and then complain about it. Seek out more consensus on what we're coding before we start typing away, plan for changes in requirements before building things that can't easily change, report our status to managers often and before they come asking, establish conventions and willingly work with others, etc.

As an aside, if you're interested in history and you don't yet follow Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast, you're really missing out. He's great at finding sources, his historiography is sound and just heterodox enough to be appealing, and the man can tell a story like nobody's business - definitely worth the time of anyone with an interest in the subject.
I don't think 1 euro or 30 euro per download would make much difference. When you are downloading a paper, you don't know if it's going to be useful to you at all. If you work for a company/university, a bulk subscription makes more sense. If you are a student or hobyist, paying 1 euro every time you want to check out a paper is a good enough reason to download it from sci-hub instead.
Most DDoS attacks are volumetric. There isn't a way to defend against this other than simply having a huge pipe, or paying someone with a huge pipe to be in front of your site.

Non-volumetric attacks like SYN or HTTP floods can be mitigated with appropriate rate limiting or firewalling.

Some providers like OVH have decent network-level mitigation in place, but you're not gonna find that on a $5 VPS where they're more than happy to null route you to protect their network.

Yea there is tagging of people, objects but that's software applied to high resolution images. Collecting those high resolution images is the real challenge here; seeing how pixels change from frame to frame once you have the imagery isn't (well, it used to be certainly but we've got better). You claim this is real-time... Are you sure this processing isn't applied after the fact?
DNSSEC is adding a cryptographic-trust-negotion layer to DNS. Governments are in control of DNS, ergo governments would be in control of the new layer which DNSSEC adds to it. DNSSEC is adding a means of cryptographically verifying the government control already implicit in DNS.

The way to keep government controls away from your own cryptographic trust negotiation is not to not implement DNSSEC but to implement your own DNS root with its own DNSSEC* , or to implement your own orthogonal trust negotiation such as the various PKI models currently in use.

[* ] Before anyone argues, this is exactly what you do when you host a domain in your own DNS server. The vast majority simply defer the rest of the DNS to 3rd party resolvers. I'm sure DNSSEC is able to cope with a situation wherein you own and host only a subdomain and keep the DNS hierarchy above you from being able to override or in any way interfere with your DNSSEC controls.

One way to do this would be to buy (e.g) a bunch of white caps and tell your coworkers to wear them when they need to concentrate, and to not disturb others when they are wearing them. I know of at least one company that does this and it works well for them. You can also do this with headphones, just tell your coworkers politely.

I went from drinking 6-10 mugs of coffee a day to zero. I'd usually have a few cups of tea as well, but now drink decaf tea around 2-5 times a day. The only withdrawal symptoms I had were finally getting quality sleep and feeling much more vital. Only a few days after stopping, the smell of instant coffee, beans or ground make me recoil. They smell like poison.

I'd been drinking that much coffee for maybe ten years and I think my sleep quality had been going downhill for a long time. I'd get to sleep without a problem, but woke up late, always felt tired and hated mornings. I'm now a morning person.

I'm glad it was so easy to kick. Thinking back at how I felt and for how long leaves me with a sense of loss of self.
Hey, Kicksat! I backed the first launch on Kickstarter a few years ago -- it was exciting when they finally launched, and a bit disappointing when it didn't deploy the Sprites.

But it was a super fun opportunity to get involved with with tracking the carrier satellite and decoding telemetry. And with a really inexpensive setup based around a $20 software-defined radio dongle.

I blogged about here: https://dolske.wordpress.com/2014/04/21/satellite-radio/

As a bit of a followup, I was successful in capturing and decoding a number of its passes over the following weeks. Including what seems to have been the last received signals from it, on 5/13/2014: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/kicksat-gs/U_svX4f2xY8/StfEl... Shortly after that it burned up upon reentering the atmosphere, likely over Africa.

AIUI the Kicksat-2 re-flight is close to launching; the last Kickstarter update said it missed the upcoming (September) OA-5 launch to ISS due to a last-minute issue with a radio license. fingers crossed soon!

Why isn't anyone here mentioning Xamarin + GTK#?
It's a bit hidden but you can still license a standalone version.
The choice of the UI library depends a lot on the type of app you're developing.
For many types of apps, a single page HTML/JS/CSS app bundled as an executable is the best choice.

If your app will do a lot with the hardware (sound, video, networking,...), then you should look at native libraries for cross-platform hardware access and UI (though HTML/JS/CSS based UIs with native core are also possible).

In my experience, making a good "cross-platform" UI can be tricky, especially if your platforms include both desktop and mobile.

The reason is that each platform has it's own set of features, limitations and design requirements, which you either have to emulate, ignore or implement as platform-specific modules.

Most UI libraries implement their own windowing systems which makes it possible to have an app that behaves similarly on all platforms.

The drawback is that the app looks and feels 'cooked' - things aren't quite standard, animations are a bit off, fonts are rendered differently, etc.

One such example is Qt, which has been mentioned many times here. It is probably the best choice if pixel perfection and native look/feel isn't your primary requirement. With a bit of work you could probably achieve native 'perfection' with it too.

If you work with sound, then you should take a good look at JUCE - it has a very pleasant API, has a low overhead and a very friendly community.

That being said, the best choice IMHO is to develop native UIs for each platform or at least for the mobile versions of your app.

The trick is to separate your design into "core" and "ui" parts.
The core is a cross platform C++ library, which implements all the business logic and low level hardware access, exposing an API to the UI layer.

The UI is then implemented in Qt/JUCE for the desktop apps, Objective-C++ and Swift for iOS (and OSX if you want) and Java+JNI on Android.

The advantage of this method is that it forces you to have clear separation of concerns between the core business and UI layers and you can have different people working on the core and the specific platform UIs.

The ultimate advantage is of course your user's experience - native apps are more gratifying.

It might sound like a lot more work, but it's usually not as bad as it sounds - if you have a well designed core API, the UI is just a visual representation of your application state, which is not that difficult to implement on each platform.

In the end, personal preference and tastes also matter - use whatever makes you (and your team) feel more comfortable.
Good luck !

We already have a lot of automation and it has hardly lead to a weakening of cognitive abilities. Washing machines, dishwashers etc. On the contrary, it has increased productivity, allowing more people to dedicate their lives towards medical research, specifically cognitive research.

Its true that future humans may end up as overweight, wheelchair ridden as depicted in Wall-E. But It can also go the other way. Technology has also made fitness to be very popular, for instance. We won't know until it comes to pass. Evolution has generally favored fitness though (e.g. endorphins are released during exercise) so it seems unlikely that the obesity epidemic will spread everywhere or be so complete.
