Just to be clear, QT still has the same licensing, correct?
dual:LGPL or commercial

commercial license costs + not redistributable (example, if included in a BSD or MIT library/framework/tool...)

or LGPL (also requires project to be LGPL)

just checking, as it's a factor in why Qt is not universal, but only ubiquitous, which is still a good thing, because "diversity" and not wanting to put the fate of all gui forever into the hands of one entity etc..

but: any other declarative (like qml) gui frameworks out there in Linux land?
And I get downvoted as a norm breaker for mentioning norm breaking. Hacker News becomes Fight Club.
> Also a lot of people don't want children. It's a lot of responsabilities and constraints, so you need to feel the desired for it.

This is true, but are enough people feeling liberated enough to not have kids to have this be a significant part of the lowered birth rate?

Platforms compete for your engagement. Government regulators don't (except through war or if you are mobile enough to have them compete for your immigration).

Dominant platforms can leverage their network effect to abuse customers for a little while. But they face competition and disruption if they keep it up, since users are generally more mobile between platforms than between governments.

Bring on the platforms-as-regulators! But, please also regulate the platforms so they don't externalize costs to the rest of society.

We're at an the point where we shouldn't ever discuss that without explicitly adding "... minimizing the environmental damage and consumption of natural resources".

"I'll provide X" needs to be immediately though about on the terms that it will cost the planet (and everyone living in it) Y.

This is not exactly what you posted, but related: I'm not an environmental nut, I just think that this 'we create wealth' discourse more often than not ignores the fact that we're actually just borrowing quality of life from people in the future. They get to deal with bad water, worse weather, natural disasters, droughts, terrible air quality, etc. while we 'provide valuable insights to customer relations', 'maintain a pseudonymous decentralized currency' or some other obviously-not-worth-it bullshit

Woah, this page makes it even worst.

"And here is what we recommend for users: [...] Use the hashtag/keyword "wampws" when search on Web platform like Twitter or StackOverflow"

... So why not call it WAMPWS?
I use it like a bloated Twitter service perhaps. I have a lot of family in various parts of the country that barely use Facebook. I also use the groups feature extensively for my various interests. This leads to a healthy amount of linking to other services such as Youtube.

Funny thing is, most people who talk about how they got rich had some luck in the first place.

They got a good paying job or they got a big lump (>50k) of money somehow (heritage, insurance, lottery)

Then they talk about how they invested it in real estate or something.

The hard part is getting to the baseline needed for profitable investments...
_Hatching Twitter_ provides inside story behind creation of Twitter. The fights between the founders and their machinations to control the company makes an intriguing read.
ATMs - put one in a popular spot, there's an app that tells you when it needs to be refilled, go refill it. You can find people selling their ATMs already set up in locations. You have to drive around and refill them so the biggest risk is that someone robs you. Liquor store is another good one. A friend's roommate bought one for $400K and makes $16K/month. He just refills inventory and sits around selling booze. A lot of that goes towards his loan but after that he'll be making way more than I probably ever will. The risk again is that someone robs you. I always check bizbuysell.com to see what kinds of things are out there.
Better cache access patterns are one of the reasons Julia's dot-broadcasting[1] is super cool. If you have big vectors `a` and `b`, the expression `sin.(a .+ exp.(b))` will do a single pass over your data, calling `sin(a[i]+exp(b[i]))` for each element, rather than creating big temporary arrays for the intermediate expressions and looping through multiple times.

Then because putting all those dots can be unwieldy, there's the `@.` macro which puts a dot on all your function calls.

I strongly disagree. Pattern recognition broke new ground for Gibson. It was a novel examining the role of information and aesthetics have in shaping a very near-future society. Neuromancer is a grand, outer-space cowboy adventure, with all sorts of interesting technological ideas, but it's certainly distinct from what pattern recognition achieved.
Yes, this is aimed at the same people, I believe. Doodle in Python and then work harder on the critical part.

I think this works best when you have some loops pushing arrays of Float64 around. And worst if you'd like to pass some library a million little functions to optimise which depend on some strange data type you just defined... Cython is quite a limited sub-language. But certainly many current Julians made a living this way in the past.
> or LGPL (also requires project to be LGPL)

This is not correct. LGPL only requires that Qt is linked as shared libraries and sources of any changes to the Qt itself is provided.

My eldest is about to turn 15, and he and his mates use IRC. He's a wee bit geeky, so "retro", "techie", and "obscure/mainstream unpopular" appeal greatly.

Kinda funny 'cause dad is mostly on Slack/Telegram/WhatsApp these days. To the extent I use IRC at all it is on the channel he set up for the fam.

Amen.
I was in Hokkaido, for a while. They have huge crows (I believe significantly larger than the ones that are found in Honshu) who are very clever and can be quite aggressive. I remember experiencing them taking a snack I had not even opened out of a bicycle basket to open and eat it. Another time, I went with my wife (my girlfriend at the time) to the zoo and she bought a meat bun and walked outside. The employees began screaming at her to go inside right away and no sooner had they said it than crows descended on her like something out of a horror movie. At the entrance to the zoo I saw them pecking the head of a crying boy trying to eat something. They get more aggressive around the zoo for whatever reason.

Anyway it's really something else.

Effective altruism is well-known among a small number of nerds and not at all known or used in many other sectors. I do grant writing for nonprofit and public agencies, and I just wrote about how little government is (really) interested in it: http://seliger.com/2018/06/01/youre-not-organization-isnt-wo...

Those of you interested should read the philanthropy chapter in Robin Hanson and Kevin Simler's book The Elephant and the Brain.
Oh, my bad, the original link was: https://github.com/SimonDanisch/PackageCompiler.jl. Now I see that redirects to JuliaLang.

However, unless I'm missing something, that argument isn't that much stronger.

1. Is the package actually promoted and actively maintained by the Julia developers?

Or even better:

2. Is the package part of the default Julia installation?

And even:

3. Is the package documented on the Julia site, as part of an officially recommended process?
- Paypal Wars. I read this twice -- once back in 2006 or so, before I really knew who any of the people were (Thiel, Musk, etc.). And then once a few years ago.

- Chaos Monkeys -- about Facebook circa 2010, touches on YC a few years before that. Somewhat controversial, but a good book.

- Weaving the Web by Tim Berners-Lee -- talks about the story from CERN to MIT, etc.

Echoing some other posts:

- The Idea Factory

- The Dream Machine (probably the densest and most informative computer history book I've read)

- Masters of Doom

- The Supermen (about Seymour Cray) -- I didn't know anything about this side of the industry! Interesting.
It's worth noting that this is from the principle developer of libsodium as well.
So insurance in the US wants to take even more than 20% as profit? Am I correct in thinking that this actually makes socialized systems more efficient? They never have to front any profit overhead.
This is not a great intro to Pony. The most interesting thing about Pony is how data permissions work and how that allows for safe shared memory (a place where Erlang can fall down for certain applications as data is always copied between actors with the exception of large binaries)

Unfortunately for me the language felt a bit big and like it was doing too much (I guess you could say Elixir is in that same boat and I eventually got over that). It has the same "kitchen sink" problem as C++ and Scala. The use case for safe shared memory is interesting though and I'm keeping an ear to the project in passing
Ironically, some amount of centralisation can improve privacy. Security is about confusion and diffusion; to get lost in a crowd you need to not be differentiated, and to not be the whole crowd. Encrypted SNI would mean ISPs could tell you were contacting Cloudflare servers, but not which of the many hosted websites you were requesting (assuming you also plug the DNS privacy gap too).
True, I was more ranting, hot topic.

There is a term for what you described, security theater. I'm not saying it's worthless, but it's only not worthless because terrorists might believe it's not.
Medical Research saves a lot of lives over time.

A drug that saves 1,000 lives per year worldwide at the cost of 1 billion dollars seems expensive. But that's 1 million lives over the next 100 years for 10,000$ each and we would still know how to make that drug in 100 years. Dropping that to 1,000$ per life over ~1000 years.

And if you consider 1 billion per 1 thousand lives/year then cancers's 8.2 million deaths/year is clearly worth ~8.2+ Trillion dollars in research to cure or ~4.1 Trillion to cut in half.

PS: Global cancer research only recently hit 100 Billion per year so it's going to take a long time to hit 4.1 trillion yet we already save a large chunk of potential cancer victims.
A company has only one feedback point in the long run (people leave or die over that timeframe, so you can only count on the lowest common denominator there) and that is money. If that doesn't tell you something about a company's core motivation, then I'm afraid I can't make clear to you why counting on anything but economic incentives as motivation for a company's actions is naive at best.

For me as a daily Emacs user this sounds like another "editor war" rant. I neither find Emacs hard to customize nor do I think it has any substantial limitations other than the ones that are based on my own lack of knowledge. It's always fair to compare it to Vim, but I don't think it makes much sense to compare it in general to VS Code or Atom.

One major reason for me to use Emacs and not newer software is that it is not only cross-platform but also gives some confidence that I will be able to use it in twenty years from now on a new platform. The same could be said about Vim. In comparison to these two, newer editors sometimes appear too ephemeral and fragile to me. (Then again, I used to use BBedit on the Mac and just found out that it's still around! What a nice surprise!)

It's telling of the "adult" community that this level of blatant assholery is always downvoted to oblivion unless it's coming from the C++ super race.
In a sibling comment chain the one who purposed the idea mentioned that a phase out might be needed for optics.

But if it doesn't ever phase out, it is really just a tax cut, and to be exact a tax cut. I'll take having to pay 7.5k less taxes (or getting an untaxed check for 7.5k from the same people I have to write my tax check to).

Here is a value that I have which is counter to ethical altruism:

I have a small amount of cash in my pocket, which will (given enough time) purchase junk food with. However, I see a random charity donation box so I put my money in that and feel happy that I've done two good things.
I think this bit is a piece of wisdom:

"I’m a firm believer that we should understand how things work underneath the hood so that we can make the most effective use of at them. No program should rely on the particulars of the iterator object internals for correctness, but a well-written program should employ them in a way that best exploits their expected implementation."
Well naturalists rate them very highly at least [0]. In my own experience as a driver crows are some of the few animals that understand cars. Horses, deer and dogs will happily run in front of an approaching car while crows on roadkill fly away as a car approaches and return as soon as it has passed.

It's something I gripe about a lot. Why is Windows 10 on modern hardware so much less responsive than Windows 95 on a system that has an order of magnitude fewer resources to work with?

Sure, it can't play half the games the modern machine will, but for most other tasks Windows 10 isn't providing me much, if any, extra functionality and it is taking a hell of a lot longer to do it. Why? Are software developers just that much more terrible? Have we put too many abstraction layers in the way? Put too much extra code in place in the name of nebulously effective security? Why must we put up with this?
I think the main reason this happens is because SSL is a pain to configure and develop and it's easier to just use HTTP's SSL than to make an SSL version of everything else.

It wouldn't be my first choice for a lot of reasons, but HTTP2 is getting pretty close to just being a binary protocol anyways.

I can disagree with my country's politics and still see value in my country's military.
Some US citizens absolutely hate the US military.

Other citizens respect and value it.

Unfortunately, many of the former group are also dedicated liberals, and many of the latter group are also dedicated conservatives. Given the state of the culture war in the US today, its difficult to determine how much of any individual's opinion on Project Maven is driven by their opinions as an individual, and how much is driven by their allegiance to one their side in the culture war.

It doesn't help that the political right has made veneration of military service one of their core principles. The left's claim is that veneration of military service is used as a psychological wedge to lever support for military action as well, and they are probably right (for some fraction of the population).
There is a motivational value in Make-a-Wish. I'm not saying that extensive resources should be committed to it, but if emotional impact of a Make-a-Wish story spurs people to be more altruistic or become childhood leukemia researchers, then it's not wasted money.
There is also DNS over TLS. DNS over HTTPS is basically DNS over TLS, but with workaround for port blocking.
Agree- it made me suspicious as well. They wanted it a little too much.

They also wanted me to fill in profile information- which I didn't do. So they took guesses- all wrong- about my education, by job, and so on. I guess they expected that if I saw something wrong I would fix it. Nope.
Depends on whether it's work for hire.....but if there's no contract and they're trying to claw back his paychecks then they're the ones trying to prove that it's _not_ work for hire, which would also prove that he owns the code.
As a person who knows both of the people involved in that debacle, I think it's fair to say that there's a lasting interpersonal conflict between two specific people (one of whom is the author of the post you've linked to) that's been framed as a community-wide issue.
On one hand, it does make a lot of sense that many web publishers want to keep people from scraping content, given the way that it's often used nefariously, to violate copyright, or for spam purposes.

But there are totally legitimate reasons to scrape as well. Altmetric (https://www.altmetric.com), which is the company I work for, tracks links to scientific research. So when someone on e.g. Twitter links to a page on nature.com, we want to scrap the page they linked to and figure out which paper they are talking about (if any). Academic publishers can be particularly sensitive to scraping, making the endeavour much more work than it needs to be.

It's a real shame that the web has moved to be so closed off in many ways.

Any thoughts on strategy's for not "if your young" people?

My wife and I (early 30s) have been getting her school debt settled but with little retirement outside of a small 401k, we've started looking at aggressive retirement plans.

At the moment we're just treating everything as the most yield (compounded or not). So her high interest debt is the most yield, however once half of those are out, a lot of investments will yield higher than her debt, so we'll likely shift priorities towards those.

I wouldn’t call it the least materialistic but capitalist culture is dominant in most of the world now. Honestly I think the lack of materialism in most cultures is largely mythologized. If African tribes measure your wealth by how many animals you have, well, that’s just materialism via other materials and I’m sure leads to its own kinds of conspicuous consumption (invite the whole village to your party for instance).

Instagram is the worst I have come across. If you are on a page with 1000+ pictures trying to find something near the bottom, you have to let it load each new group sequentially, then after a while it starts timing you out for like 60 seconds or longer every couple times you load more. God forbid you accidentally navigate away while scrolling you have to start all over again from the top.

Due to recent events it seems they got scared, locked down their API, then tightened down the request limit to prevent scraping to the point it is hardly usable on desktop anyway.
