Unfortunately I only have direct control over my own actions, and very limited ability to influence the actions of other travelers or politicians. This isn't really an argument against the original commenter's point. If I get rid of my car and switch to public transportation, maybe on average the wait between buses drops from 1 hour to a millisecond less than an hour.

Obviously, the word 'life' has multiple meanings; at the most fundamental - and I'd say, the least interesting - level it is the now pretty well-understood mode of collective behavior as well as the variety of processes and mechanisms that have naturally evolved to ensure the perpetual existence of a mass of large molecules of a certain kind (viz. proteins).

Where is the evidence that increased public transit demand leads to better public transit service?

From what I can see, it just leads to crush loads. When there's money for expansion, it goes to routes that make political (not practical) sense, subsidized tickets for certain demographics, etc. Frequency and capacity on popular routes stays the same, so with increased ridership they just get worse.

A public transit agency isn't incentivized to fulfill customer needs. It's incentivized to get its director elected up the ladder in city politics, which means serving swing districts, not demand.
>but it gets you in this mood of "do things".

How much of that is placebo? i.e. "You're doing things because you know you're taking something that helps you do things?" Productivity comparisons with a placebo haven't been conducted yet, but I'll bet it will be rather underwhelming as a motivational agent. Especially when you compare it to other stimulants like Coffee, it will sound even less miraculous.

My comment was about making proclamations about what is easy or not for the majority based on the experiences of a minority. I'm not making any claims that cars are a requirement, just that when deciding policy that affects many people in the area, considering all those people and finding solutions for problems you might create for those people should be important. I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make from that.

I think you'll find daycares, which are businesses which employ people that they pay, are less inclined to keep one or two people on staff and extra thirty minutes for you because you're running late than you think they are.

You missed at least four other benefits:

e) Privacy - a personal car lets you be alone, listen to anything you want at any volume you prefer, eat food or drink, etc. It also reduces the likelihood of certain types of frustrating interpersonal interactions.

f) Storage - a personal car acts as storage for things you want to have with you, things you acquire at multiple stops, etc.

g) Kids - Getting multiple kids (especially young kids) around is much easier with a personal car than most forms of public transportation.

h) Fun - believe it or not, some people enjoy cars and like to drive.

That said, I strongly prefer to live in a location with excellent public transit and also own a car for occasional trips.

Swing is an extremely powerful toolkit with very rich capabilities. And since it's backed by Java2D, you can control the painting of a widget at the pixel level, if you want to - which is something CSS won't have until the CSS Painting API arrives[1]. For proof, look at what JetBrains achieves in IntelliJ, which uses Swing.

Technical capabilities are not the obstacle. The problem is that you're trying to reverse engineer and build a faithful emulation of a complex set of software components in a completely different language and runtime. And unlike emulating a legacy system, OS toolkits are a moving target. They get tweaked constantly, and often overhauled completely with each new release.

Contending that his statement that "there's nothing going on between us" had been truthful because he had no ongoing relationship with Lewinsky at the time he was questioned, Clinton said, "It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is."

Words matter in a useless way for my math mind.

Especially the words "maybe" or "might have" - both are correct in almost any instance, question or situation.

So clinton's "is" is his way to lie but not lie. Maybe.
Qt is LGPL. So there are no limitations unless you make changes to the Qt library (which you probably won't do). If you do make changes, though, then you would have to release them under LGPL license.

So, I think there are absolutely no limitations to using Qt LGPL in a commercial application. All you get from the commercial license is support.

Note: I'm not a lawyer, don't hang me if you get sued or something. But I do think I'm right about this.

The Ceo of Mobileye explains, in depth how their tech works
Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari and Opera all support ES6. That's the current version of all major browsers.

No, it isn't. For a lot of web developers, two of those aren't major browsers at all and you've missed the 800lb gorilla. You're also ignoring older versions of mobile browsers, the current Firefox ESR, and at least one other browser that has a larger market share than several of the above in parts of Asia, among other things.

But, I'm not arguing that web sites should only serve ES6 to browsers, only that packages should be distributed as ES6 and the app should be responsible for compilation.

And consequently, the entire community has to start incorporating a heavyweight build process that relies on third party tools just to use modules from the de facto standard package repository, and everyone also has to take extra time checking the exact requirements for every module they directly or indirectly depend on to make sure their build process supports it. In an ecosystem with absurd levels of microdependencies, which is certainly what we have today in JS world, the last thing we need is moving goalposts on the basic assumptions that everyone makes. This sort of thing is exactly why proper, long-lived standards are important as the foundation of a productive development ecosystem.

I'm not sure why you both conclude that people are unaware that public transportation works well in some cities and countries. I'm aware of that, but it's not relevant to my own ability to travel if I don't live in one of those areas. Could I move? Sure, but if everyone who complains about traffic or public transportation moved to Manhattan I suspect Manhattan's infrastructure would no longer perform so well.

As a service, what it's provided is consistency for the group of friends I use it with. We've tried XMPP and Matrix on multiple accounts and had trouble on the server and client side. Wire is out of the box a great option with open source ideologies and some feature we liked that weren't available with XMPP or Riot.

They could have done the same thing with existing protocols, but I do like the way it was done and how well it works for us, and as a consumer of the service it's satisfied areas where XMPP/Matrix felt.. fragile.

Not that XMPP or Matrix are vastly inferior, there's certainly an issue or two we've had with Wire, but just how well it worked for us immediately was largely why we've stuck to it.

I may be remembering wrong. But I believe back when I used Qt a few years ago, the most common interpretation of the GPL license the free version used prevented you from deploying with a single static binary.
The open source version of Qt is LGPL, which basically means you may use it in a proprietary application if you use dynamic linking. If you link statically or copy any of its code, then your program must be free software (GPL).

If you pay for a commercial license, you can link statically without restriction. The commercial version is also necessary for locked-down platforms like iOS where the dynamic linking can't be changed by the end user of the software.

IANAL, and there are a few details I glossed over, but that's the simple version.
https://medium.com/@wireapp/wires-independent-security-revie...
> there are no limitations unless you make changes to the Qt library

I thought you were required to allow linking to a newer or modified version of a LGPL library? So one limitation is you have to either dynamically link or provide a mechanism to relink.
I was also concerned about the possible copyright claims, therefore I have encapsulated the macOS theme in a single CSS file [1] and I added a more restrictive license to it. I might remove it completely in case I receive any complains from Apple. I'm not using any assets from macOS though, everything is done with plain CSS.

I'm planning to implement ElementaryOS themes [2] as a safer alternative that looks good on both macOS and Linux.

qtdeploy is intended to be used for deploying and therefore will run qtrcc, qtmoc, qtminimal and do the actual bundling of your binary. the -fast flag re-uses the cached rcc_* moc_* minimal-* files and will also not re-run the actual bundling process. this works for the desktop targets but not for the mobile targets, therefore I made it optional.

Flatpak lets applications share a common set of libraries, called a runtime. So org.gnome.Platform has all the libraries like glib and gtk+ that pretty much all GNOME applications use, and all that's left to build are the ones that the application bundles that aren't in the runtime.
That's true, but we don't even know what to look for to find that remaining 90% of data!

Note: Arrow functions cannot help us when the function is defined on the object literal as it will resolve to the enclosing lexical scope, which in this case is the global scope.

This is not true. With an arrow function, the example prints "Object Name". MDN says: "An arrow function does not create its own this context, so this has its original meaning from the enclosing context." [1]

(The "enclosing context" in this case refers to the context in which the arrow function was created, not the context in which the function in which the arrow function was created was created.)

Of course they don't need consent. The point is that standardization is meaningless without the support and participation of implementers and users. This is why CBOR has made no progress in replacing MessagePack.

The point about strictness and canonical mode are that they are poorly thought out. For example, sorting based on binary representation requires multi-pass encoding which is slow, complex, error prone, and completely non-intuitive: [1,2,3] comes before 100000 which comes before [1,2,3,4].
I'm not a JavaScript expert so I may be wrong, but I don't think that's right is it?

If you are in a function scope (which you would be in the context of this article as we're talking about what the receiver is at different points) then variables assigned without any modifier are defined as locals, in the scope of that function. They are hoisted to the function scope, out of any block scope, unless you use 'var', but they're still locals aren't they?
That's how Cuil, the company that tried to build a search engine to compete with Google, blew it. Big PR push, huge initial traffic, initial product sucked, traffic disappeared, product got better but nobody cared, VCs pulled plug, company bankrupt. I got to watch that one happen.
This article paints an overly rosy picture of self driving cars. A significant cause of traffic on our roads is single occupancy vehicles. Opening up the gates to zero occupancy vehicles could cause the number of cars on the road to skyrocket, because you are no longer bounded by the number of people.

Interestingly, VS Code doesn't feel like it changes fast. Most new features are there to use, but not in your face.

I just realized the other day(as someone using Code since a few months after its initial pub release) that I've actually fallen far behind on the new features. I need to go back through the release notes and try out a lot of the new stuff.

I update every month and it never feels intrusive. Although I usually end up updated after any recovery release(path release) would hit haha :D

I drive my personal car in Los Angeles rarely enough that I should probably sell it. Bicycling, subway, light rail, the occasional bus, and Lyft satisfy 90% of my "long distance" or "carrying lots of stuff" needs, and the remaining trips could be taken care of by Zipcar or rentals.

At least as a person without children, the need for and experience of using a car is simply a matter of where I live and work (and for the weekends, where my friends live). When I lived in Pasadena, commuted to Irvine 3x a week, and didn't have a personal car, yes, life was miserable. When I lived in Venice Beach and drove downtown for work, the tedious, heavily trafficked freeway commute exhausted me by mid-week.

Also, for what it's worth, greater Los Angeles has the highest average density of US urban areas by a pretty healthy margin. Yes, it's denser than the New York or San Francisco urbanized areas. And LA's decentralized commercial districts make it a prime candidate for an efficient, extensive public transit network [1]; there's just heaps of toxic cultural momentum to overcome in order to restore that former feature to our metropolis.
