> GUI: fix scrolling for scene view window scrolling

I need the scrolling to work out of the box. Some of the users' diagrams are going to be 10x the size of the examples shown for that framework (if not larger).

Also in the issues section:

* you can't put a custom context menu for the nodes

nw.js (and I assume Electron) provide this by default.

* Crash: Attempting to connect an input node into self output node

Sorry, that's a showstopper. The application I maintain proudly does not crash when the user tries to do this.

And then this one:
* Implement QML frontend

So... if I'm not leveraging QML, what's my workflow with this framework? Am I coding it in C++?

If so, then the speed and ease of developing the frontend doesn't compare to HTML5.

Just noticed another showstopper:

* https://github.com/paceholder/nodeeditor/issues/63 (doesn't currently support HiDPI)

I need HiDPI support out of the box.

This may all seem secondary to my original statement, which was that Qt works fine until you want to draw certain types of diagrams. While I'm convinced it's possible (and looks to be getting easier in the future), the example you gave isn't fully baked, doesn't have a QML frontend, and doesn't look to be stable.

I have no doubt people can and will build more frameworks for Qt as it continues to improve. Meanwhile, however, with HTML5 I can use raw Javascript, or d3, or React, etc. all the way up the ladder to frameworks specifically designed for editing diagrams. All of those will result in diagrams of boxes connected by Bezier curves with performance that scales with the number of DOM elements. And every single one of those options have demos that work in the browsers we're staring at that merely require a keyboard shortcut to study and change the code.

> I fail to see the benefits of this multidimensional navigation through text.

You just wrote a comment containing a hyperlink.

If I click that link, I go to another page that has text I can read.

I can come back here.

I can reach that page from other pages too.

That means that you just made a node in a graph, and have it an edge to another node in that graph.

Your comment is about as ironic as it gets.
Education.

All problems on this Earth, and perhaps life, no, evolution itself is simply a function of "education".

Helping people adapt better to the variety that is existence is my life goal. Unfortunately, the monetization aspect is in direct, to say the least.
And now gas prices recently rose due to Harvey and refinery shutdowns. Of course part of it is temporary, but EVs are getting better too at the same time.
Yeah, you don't need to be an automotive engineer to drive a car.

Most 'work' in AI seems to be using python to shovel data into libraries anyways.
This is not surprising at all, to me. In fact, I'd speculate that it's something that most successful "start-up" or "small business" founders end up doing.

My dad has owned two small businesses in his lifetime (he just retired from his last). He was a co-owner with two other individuals. There's always those moments where someone needs to step up and in his case, if he had to ask his employees to step up, you can bet he was going to be there right along with them (and in most cases, he was the one who made the biggest sacrifices). I recall him relaying a story to me about a factory that he was supplying the parts to. They had a Thursday delivery deadline and were running behind, so my dad and his staff pulled a few all night shifts to get everything done. They completed it, but couldn't get all of the parts in the truck so my dad hopped in with all but two components and drove across three states through the night, completing the delivery at 4:00 AM the following morning.

On his arrival, the factory manager was annoyed with the missing part and rolled his eyes. He asked my dad how come they couldn't bring another truck and lamented at the fact that he, the lowly truck driver had to take the heat. He explained that it was the only truck he owned and that the other parts would be coming as soon as he could round-trip it. The shop manager's attitude changed, immediately, when he realized that my dad wasn't the driver, but the owner and that he'd delivered the products by hand and at great personal expense. Suddenly the urgency of getting those last two parts (selected because my dad knew they wouldn't be needed immediately) was eliminated.

This story is one of many I've heard and it's the reason my dad's business was/still is so successful. They supply massive manufacturing companies (10,000+ employees) who are used to dealing with other large suppliers. The manager--in this case--was (rightly) surprised that my dad's business was so small. It's not typical for a company this size to get orders of the size he regularly received. They (intentionally) didn't usually compete on price, they competed by consistent, reliable, delivery on commitments and a relentless pursuit to meet the demands of their customers. That, often, meant the owners and technical staff (and even the owner's son) assembling parts in the back, driving the truck for deliveries through the night and, I'd imagine, stamping envelopes[0].

[0] The closest thing I can think of to that was my dad's desire to save a few bucks on professional printing by purchasing a Tektronix Phaser printer (it was a full color, solid ink printer that came with free black ink) and printing the product catalogs (with images he manually removed the background of using GIMP) with it. Every time there were catalogue changes, he'd head back into the office every few hours from 5:00 PM until around 2:00 AM to change out the paper and ink to keep it printing. It was 2009 and their customers still expected paper, spiral-bound, catalogs.

The SSN shouldn't be the critical key in that list.

So it would a "Credit ID," Passport Number, DL #, or something related. What's the difference, it will need to be stored next all your stuff, awaiting to be stolen. Now the banks eat the small % caused by fraud (cost of doing biz), your life is hell, but not theirs.

Exactly. 6 monitors in 3x2, they're super cost effective at $40-$45, and silent as you mentioned.
If the prices of one of these new are a bit out of your budget, but you still want a relatively powerful workstation, take a look at used machines from a few of generations ago.

Last year I picked up a Dell T3600 with a Xeon E5-2670 (V1 - 8C/16T) and 32GB ECC RAM for €400 delivered. It's not completely silent (maybe HP are better in that regard based on comments here?), but it doesn't make much noise - at least compared to what you'd expect from the power it gives.

I now work from home, and having previously primarily used laptops, this thing feels like a beast.
It does seem weird that according to Google you're not allowed to have a social network that draws the moderation boundary at legal speech and actually requires censorship.

Seemingly worse it appears as though a platform where the people posting are personally responsible for their own content is also prohibited. If your app connects people you apparently are not allowed to act as an impartial carrier. Better not let them know that Chrome and Hangouts should also be pulled.

> org-mode if there were a way to clone nodes.

I believe that what you are explaining is essentially the equivalent to a symbolic/hard link.

As far as I know, one of the goals of org-mode is to have a format that does not diverge from pain text.

Similar to markdown, an org-mode file is always completely readable as pain text, whether using emacs it not.

That means the only way to have an updated "copy" (reference) of a tree would be to automatically copy any changes made to every copy of that tree. That would either require some sort of run-time mark (that would disappear as soon as you kill the buffer), or special syntax.

As far as I know, org-mode does not have such a feature.
The Book of Five Rings is relevant to what, exactly?

Why do business guys latch onto stuff like this so hard, it is literally a book about sword fighting, it tells you where to put your feet, how to grip the sword, to keep your pinkie loose and grip with your forefingers. How is that strategy going to help your SaaS business?
> Copyright is not about morality

That seems like a weirdly narrow definition of morality, maybe due to the long association with the Christianity and the faith's retreat from the public sphere.

I prefer the definition of morality as the set of shared rules and norms that we as a society decide are to our mutual benefit. In that case, laws and morality are absolutely closely intertwined.
You are right, I am sorry about that. I didn't catch it the first time I skimmed through the comments.

>>* Traditionally, the "proper" written language is classical, and by 'classical' I mean old. Imagine speaking modern French or Italian and writing in classical 1st century BC-1st century AD Latin.

>What? Nonsensical and incorrect. Mandarin evolves like every other language in existence.

The person you're responding to is contrasting Classical Chinese with Mandarin. Recall that it wasn't until the Republic of China that Classical Chinese was abandoned as the written standard and that it is quite a bit more divergent from Mandarin than Latin is from Italian. The spoken language changed plenty but any educated person could read pretty much the entirety of the Chinese canon because the only writing in the vernacular was what was perceived as popular dross for peasants and women. Much as almost all scholarship in Europe up to the 1700s was written in Latin, anything for an educated audience in China was written in Classicak Chinese.

Mandarin(普通话) is a lot more divergent from Classical Chinese than Cantonese is, not that any modern Sinitic language is particularly close.

Total agreement on the boring and stupid assumption of superiority of lots of writers from languages with alphabets. The massive and unnecessary complexity doesn't do any harm to anyone except foreigners trying to learn a language who can't speak it already. Removing it would be uprooting a people from it's culture, like Vietnamese.

Your conclusion doesn't follow your observation. It's one thing to say that the government can't stop something, and quite another to say the government can't hurt it. Who knows how much bigger the drug trade would be without anti-drug laws.
Payments are immediate between countries too. On my vacation in Armenia (you know, former USSR and a pretty poor country) I paid in the supermarket with my Dutch debit card (chip with PIN), I immediately popped my phone and opened the banking app for my (small, Dutch local) bank, and it showed the withdrawal.

If you strip Linux and run your app as PID 1, you will still have context switching between user space and kernel space, which can be fairly expensive (thus the interest in user land TCP/IP stacks). Presumably most unikernels avoid that cost.

Currencies have network effects - everyone who will transact in a specific currency increase the value of that currency for everyone else.

So one reason BTC is worth more (speaking of entire market cap here) than, say, LTC, is because it is accepted more places.

Another reason is that BTC is perceived (rightly or wrongly) as more stable than other crypto currencies.

But all those legitimate reasons are amplified dramatically right now by speculation.
It is worthwhile to note that by 2010 the GAO estimated over 100billion in total federal dollars on climate spending[1]. This number doesn't include other nation's spending, or private spending.

By contrast, Skylab's entire program cost was about 10 billion in 2010 dollars.

It's naive to think bureaucratic inertia is not a problem in climate change. In other words, it is not free of one of the problems the War on Poverty and War on Drugs saw: that they became industries focused on preserving themselves rather than ever fixing the problems they were meant to.

Whenever we spend our own money to fix problems that affect us, we consider the opportunity costs carefully. But when the collection plate is passed to us and we want to demonstrate virtue, our money is given into the hands of people who have a reward system that is not ideally suited to using it altruistically.

Is more money going to solve the climate crisis? Is there a better way, such as political reform? If not, I'd just like to be honest about how many manned missions to Mars we are passing up on to instead pay for this.

I know people say that "people will die from climate change," but people are dying. We have people even here in the USA without access to clean drinking water, basic healthcare, or safe neighborhoods to live in. Around the globe people die from malnutrition while the world produces a surplus of food. People don't die in 2017 because of a lack of tech or resources, they die because of politics and greed, or maybe even from one of the 26,000 bombs we dropped last year.

There's a lot of literature that point towards more application-specific optimization in the lowest levels of the operating system, for example the Exokernel papers are an early example of this. More recently, you may want to have a look at the the MirageOS paper(s).
The author might be missing the woods for the trees. ICO's are at heart a rethink on the angel-vc-ipo funding cycle. ICO's offer very clear advantages in terms of increasing distribution, decreasing friction, aligning investors to product success and builds upon emerging ideas around equity/control structuring.

That they offer a diversification of bitcoin is merely an oversight in the grand scheme of things.

It’s Not the Calls You Take, It’s the Calls You Make One of my sayings

You are the creator of your destiny. In whatever business you’re in, there is always so much coming at you that you can stay insanely busy just responding. Don’t do that. Always think about what is your agenda, what do you want to make happen, what do you want the future to look like. This is not so easy.

I think this is a powerful idea. I was a homemaker for a lot of years. I think more than men typically are, women get socialized to respond to other people rather than setting their own agenda in this way, and it consigns us to servile roles, even if we are very talented.

A nit: the article states "A guitar string is a harmonic oscillator; no matter how soft or hard you pluck it, a G string is going to play a G note."

It's not that simple. I have a steel string guitar which, when a string is stuck loudly, will play sharp, then asymptotically approach the Hz it has when sounding its quietest. I hear it, and my digital tuner displays the effect as well. I speculate that when the the string is more perturbed (arced further away from straight), the tension increases more than proportionately to the displacement from straight.
