creating complex UIs using things like WinForms, QT, GTK, Cocoa, etc SUCKS

I think that this depends on your background. Personally, I would rather do a UI in QT than Javascript. I like that Qt supports high level components such as trees:

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-itemviews-simpletreemodel-example.html

With Qt I can also use a lot of the experience that I gained 5 years ago on a UI today. Any Javascript UI experience that I picked up 5 years ago is obsolete.

It annoys me when people say something sucks without taking the time to understand it.

I'm curious how the realized design that's launching today compares to the Saturn V. This article from 2016 implies that the Saturn V has three times the payload capacity, but that the Falcon Heavy is twelve times cheaper to launch (adjusting for inflation), implying a fourfold advantage in cost efficiency: https://www.universetoday.com/129989/saturn-v-vs-falcon-heav...
What are you basing that off of? Trump barely lost Minnesota in 2016 (46.9 Clinton to 45.4 Trump), and it's a swing state in virtually every national election.
I doubt that. I once read it would add 2 cents to the cost of a box of cereal to pay farm workers better.

(It has probably been a few years, but the point stands: the cost of labor is a small portion of the cost of food.)
The distinction are difficult to grasp, and it doesn't help that meanings evolve. For example, many people today understand "thread" to mean a preemptively scheduled kernel resource with a contiguous region of memory used for storing objects and return addresses, which shares an address space with other such threads. That sort of "thread" is what 10 years ago many people called a LWP (lightweight process), when thread didn't imply preemptive scheduling. And what was a "thread" 10 years ago is often called a "fiber" or "microthread" today. Though I'm coming from the world of Unix. I think connotations had a slightly different evolution in the world of Windows, largely because Unix emphasized the "process" (concurrent execution, non-shared address space) and modern concurrent execution with shared address space were only formalized in the late 1990s, whereas Windows didn't get isolated virtual address spaces until Windows 95, so the primary construct was always a "thread" (with or without preemptive execution, depending on era).

When I say thread in my previous post I'm referring to the abstract construct that represents the flow of control of sequentially executed instructions, regardless of the underlying implementation, and regardless of how you initiate, yield, or resume that control. For languages that support function recursion that necessarily implies some sort of stack (if not multiple stacks) for storing the state of intermediate callers that have invoked another function. Often such a stack is also used to store variables, both as a performance optimization and because many (perhaps most objects) in a program have a lifetime that naturally coincides with the execution of the enclosing function.

Such a "call stack" has historically been implemented as a contiguous region of memory, but some hardware (i.e. IBM mainframes) implement call stacks as linked-lists of activation frames, which effectively is the data structure you're creating when you chain stackless coroutines.

The two best sources I've found that help untangle the mess in both theoretical and practical terms are

* Revisiting Coroutines, a 2004 paper that helped to renew interest in coroutines. (http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/docs/MCC15-04.pdf)

* The proposal to add fibers to the JVM. (http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rpressler/loom/Loom-Proposal.htm...)

It's not just hardware upgradability: some of the problem could be solved if app developers created simple, lightweight iOS 5-compatible apps. But of course there's no business case for supporting early iPads, and I don't even think many early iPad owners necessarily think there should be.

The iPad is great because it is compact and a specific, coherent design. I could use a 12-year-old desktop tower for my evening reading, but I don't want to.

Or adding in smart capabilities is < 10$. And without those features you loose some number of sales. I'm sure they do the cost analysis and find adding in features that 90% of people wont use still helps differentiate your product.

For example if I saw 2 identical tvs. One had smart capabilities the other didn't. Same price for both. What TV would the average joe buy...the smart tv. I'm sure people would also buy the smart tv if it's only 15$ more expensive than the dumb one. Netting the manufacture an additional 5$.

As painful as the current political environment is, some of these informal patronage relationships may be upset by Trump's inability to be cool about anything except his own industry (real estate). He'll happily throw the farming industry under the bus if it means a tax break for real estate investors and a few political points for being tough on "illegals".
> licensing, packaging, and lack of mobile support

To be fair, these are different problems from what the grandparent was discussing.

Licensing is a problem a business really shouldn't have: Qt is LGPL and PyQt licenses are cheap even for ramen-eating startups.

Lack of mobile support is a Python problem, I agree there. I can assure you everyone in the Python world is sorely aware of it. Unfortunately, nothing will change until someone does what Google did for Java with Android. But it's a problem that electron apps have too, because "html apps" are still pretty bad on mobile (and terrible on desktop).

Similarly, packaging a PyQt app is not much more of a problem than packaging any app that is not among the "blessed" mobile languages (Java/Kotlin and Objective-C/Swift).

>Yes. The official Chinese government is developing it and planning to force it on its citizens.

So your only problem is that it's the government? I guess I see a lot more wrong with it. Actually that's unfair you do see another problem with it:

>The common complaints center on "right to be forgotten", "unfairness", "ostracization", etc.

So don't American workers deserve those same rights? How is it that an Uber Driver or Food-Delivery Professional or whatever we call it has a "right to be forgotten" when the only way for him to get work is to consent to a permanent report card which follows him wherever he goes?

>some technical ideas to help freelancers.

That's exactly my point on viewpoint! Right, this is an 'interesting technical problem' while Social Credit is 'Orwellian.'

>On the other hand, this article is spitballing

People in the Chinese government were just spitballing at one point as well. I'm just pointing and saying: "that's a nasty looking spitball Cassie just hocked up." Besides she mentions two companies working in this space, quick tell me, doesn't this sound like Chinese Social Credit?

"Empowering trustworthy people to build a fairer world."

"the old credit score system does not recognize you as a trustworthy citizen. Prove how wrong they are and get the conditions you deserve."

"We need a new form of credit score that empowers people. Fortunately today we have new data sources to assess whether people behave well and are trustworthy. Traity´s algorithms use non-credit data like eBay or AirBnB profiles, FB and LinkedIn social networks, to determine people’s trustworthiness, giving you the chance to get access to the services you need at the prices you deserve."

Yeah, they're all from traity.com. This is something that we need to push back against.

> Apple neither forces OS updates, nor forces app updates

In practice they do. I recently deleted a timelapse app from my new phone (se) because the app wouldn't work with the new update. That may not be the best airtight example as the new OS update I did 'choose' to upgrade to which did somehow break the app, and the creator didn't release an updated version for the new OS, but in a real world scenario are you going to discontinue OS updates on a device you purchased months earlier for a few apps? Meanwhile there's decade old computers running windows xp that have no problems starting photoshop 7.0. There's also this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH1BKPSGcxQ showing Windows upgrades from earliest versions to newest and software like excel being compatible from earliest versions onward.
OP here. It is admittedly a little hairy. The place to start is https://github.com/rcoh/treelayout/blob/8adb9bb9727bdaee671d...

Detectives that just wear civilian clothes aren't quite undercover though. Much of what they do will involve identifying themselves as police (which is not a cover, it's fact).

In the US at least, "undercover" implies that they are not identifying themselves as police.

Felix Baumgartner had 8 millions live viewers on YouTube in 2012
Developers have already been working around the standard styles with all those technologies. It only took more time and effort. I look at the native apps I've installed and the standard layout is the rare exception. I mean no offense, but arguing that a standard set of controls would be enough for most of the applications would be faulty judgement at best, if not being delusional.
This advice is a bit late since you already made your purchase, but if you want your hardware to survive more software updates, usually getting the “S” or “tock” versions of things has been more future proof.
"Any Javascript UI experience that I picked up 5 years ago is obsolete."

That is only true in the sense that your Python 2.x experience didn't translate into your Python 3.x experience. That is, I think the overlap is similar on a language level. The difference lies in the libs/frameworks.
> no government is required for a simple barter system

Ah but we never started with barter. That's the myth the book goes into. The very earliest systems of money were all credit based. Money came about through war (you conquer an area, leave a garrison, force people who have never used coins to pay taxes, coins they only get from soldiers) and barter only appeared when a state failed.

Barter only exists in the void left by states. There is no evidence trading oxen for grain every existed. It's too small scale. Early pre-historical civilizations were more likely to be communistic where everyone helped everyone else (native american tibes were like this .. more like ant colonies).

Even when a barter market emerged, it semi-state like thing had to rise with it. It's a really good book; highly recommended.
Also, slightly annoying was the description of the inside of a photocopier as being 'like a darkroom'. It seems like a small thing, but the whole point of the photocopier is that it is _not_ like a darkroom; it's a completely dry process. That was Carlson's innovation, copying without a wet chemical process.
Thanks! I don't see the dev community as monolithic. People coming from native will lean toward Unreal / Unity that are fantastic and Web people like us prefer the Web workflow. The feedback loop of edit / reload / share with a link is hard to give up. I don't think most Web developers face the decision: Should I use Unity or A-Frame? What we've seen is more like Web Developers finding about A-Frame and saying: Cool I can now do VR as well. With A-Frame we wanted to onboard the Web community into VR. Over time as the platform improves we would also love to see newcomers choosing the Web based on its own merits.

Apologizing is a selfish act, so this make sense on the title alone.
"Humans are capable of learning new things, but in general they don't like to. And they HATE when learning new things is not optional and is a requirement for continued employment."

The attitude towards learning really depends on what one is learning, what the experience of learning is like, and why one is learning it.

People tend to view learning very positively when they are learning something they are intensely interested in, that they feel is very important, and when the process of learning feels effortless and fun.

When learning is painful and frustrating, when it's learning of something one is not at all interested in, that one feels indifferent or even hostile towards, that one thinks is unimportant, and when one feels forced to learn because of economic or other considerations where the power dynamic is highly skewed against the learner, and where the learner has little control over what and how they learn, yes, people tend not to like that.

Coincidentally, just last night I was telling my wife how impressed I am with my work's copier/printer machine.

It's about the size of a 1980's copy machine, but my department easily prints a minimum of 5,000 color pages with it each day. Some days it's double or triple that. Sometimes with staples.

We go through five massive toner carts each week. They're about the size of a fire extinguisher.

Also because it often violates the standard UI conventions for the given OS, so I have to learn how to use every application from scratch.†

Accessibility is another big one.

† The flip side is if you use the same app on different operating systems often. There are some apps that fall into that category for me personally, but I think your average user probably only uses two operating systems regularly: one on their mobile device(s) and another on their "real" computer(s).
Worth pointing out that rapidly rising food prices are often drivers of civil unrest and inflation-combating monetary policy.

Slow rises are fine, the economy will adjust, fast rises, say from eliminating a large portion of the workforce at once, will cause much more disturbances in the economy.

Apple uses dark patterns to trick you into updating. Not to mention that if you accidentally do update, they purposely make it impossible to go back to the factory state. Updating would be no issue if they were beneficial, and most of them usually are. However, once you're 1-2 years in, newer firmware slows down the device, and can also cause apps you paid good money for, to stop working, or be rendered incompatible. In other cases, the only way fix a messed up ios device is to do a full system reset and guess what, you're forced by apple to use the latest firmware. Its a complete shitshow as far as I am concerned.

most farmers would prefer a phased approach to reform so that crops aren't rotting in the fields.

I think everyone would prefer that.. but this is a problem the farmers created themselves. They've been using migrants for so long, that they've created a substantial difference in pay between themselves and the rest of the labor market. And with a sudden change in the supply of migrants, they're now trying to figure out what that difference is--what the true cost of labor is for their industry.

If they never relied on migrants, they would already know the answer to this question.

"a late-2012 iPad Mini, model number A1432, black, with 16 gigabytes of storage. It retailed, at release, for $329."

So the cost of owning this iPad has been less than 20 cents/day over its 5 year usable life. That doesn't even factor in the slight energy savings vs using a full laptop if you want to be nitpickey. Nor does it factor in the current resale value. I just sold an original iPad 1 for $80 on Craigslist. I'm sure this would be worth at least as much, if not more.

"I still use my old iPad for passive consumption: reading, watching videos, checking feeds ...formerly easy tasks have become strained. Social apps have become slow, videos take longer to load and Safari can’t seem to handle the most important and fundamental services of the modern web."

This is all also true of my maxed out 2012 MacBook Air. Final Cut Pro X runs more smoothly editing HD video than browsing Facebook. And, while I agree the uses for an old iPad are limited (photo browser, music player / media controller, eBook reader, kitchen recipe browser), they are more elegant than keeping an old computer around.

The mixed blessing and curse of something like the iPad is that it still looks beautiful and functional long after it isn't. I'm sure it would be easier to part with the device if it was a 5-year-old $300 Celeron netbook.

I don’t know about this project, but I am using Qt in a C++ application, and this certainly works with macOS sandboxing.

Qt will just open a native macOS dialog that will link files into the sandbox. From there you can pass the path returned by the dialog to sandboxing-oblivious C++ code.

As a side note: Flatpaks in Linux use a similar mechanism for sandboxed applications (in Flatpak these are called ‘portals’).

For the last time, "existing design guidelines and patterns" is a myth. Even Apple only really hits that (and barely) on iOS; MacOS UI consistency is a mess.
