The issue there is you're running a VFX application on a Mac :P I mean that 50% sarcastically and 50% sympathetically. Apple support has not been stellar the past few years across 3D applications. Not sure when the last time you used their products, but they did go through a redesign and things have improved a fair bit.

From the thread's master:

> The fact is that a viable, efficient, native and cross-platform GUI solution has failed to emerge. Note the word 'viable'. Those who might suggest that Qt covers that role have to explain why, even though it has been capable of fast, attractive apps for a long time, nobody built Slack, Discord, Atom or VSCode in it.

Most industry standard VFX applications utilize Qt for the UI and other application parts. It helps that there was a standards body (admittedly, very Linux biased but starting to open up) set up between vendors and studios for choosing major frameworks/libraries (VFX Reference Platform[0]):

* Autodesk Maya

* Autodesk 3DS Max

* SideFX Houdini

* Foundry Nuke

* Foundry Mari

* Foundry Katana

* Foundry Modo

* Allegorithmic Substance Painter

* Allegorithmic Substance Designer

With the exception of macOS in the very recent years, these applications work pretty seamlessly and efficiently. Qt is not as easy to get up and running with compared to web based frameworks like Electron, it does provide a pretty 'viable' framework for building cross-platform applications. Getting 'native' in appearance will probably never happen 100%, but Qt does a pretty bang-up job. Regarding the apps listed above, they all use custom styling so you get the same interface across all platforms, so native doesn't even matter anymore.

I agree with this; doing chores is fundamentally part of maintaining relationships, and therefore not exchangeable for money. If someone accepts and internalizes this lesson (paying for maintenance of a relationship), that's bad, and if they reject the lesson, it devalues the teacher of it.
I tryed Descent a couple of times, but the game never catched me.

Doom was and still is unique. Very simple to play, fast and dark.

Later I loved to play Terminator Future Shock. The first game with such large and open levels for me. It was 3D and great to play. But it was slower and so the gameplay was very different.

To be technical better is just "technical better" and not "all better".

The difference is that Google’s profit can easily be cut off by an ad blocker.

Facebook’s ads are “organic” and are viewed mostly on mobile within an app - meaning harder to block.
Unforunate n00b question here: how does one download the audio from Sound Cloud? Would love to do the same.
Software developers are incredibly poor at gathering requirements. The best choice for gathering those requirements is to have a management consultant who does nothing but study business process and document the current clinical process. Once that's documented then you can discuss what needs to change from that document to extract the core requirements. Having a software person shadow a medical professional will only lead to the medical professional telling the software person what they think is needed.

In other words, decouple system analysis from system design.

> Most people would not pay for the kind of content that shows up on Facebook and YouTube by so-called “content creators”.

Are you sure? Why are you sure?

And as a corollary: even if most people won't pay for it, are you sure it won't still obtain a majority in its market? For any given successful product, most people don't buy it.
Reasonable. .NET Core is obviously fine, but even .NET Framework stuff is largely runnable with up to date Mono, as MS is slowly pushing lots of previously 'system' libraries into NuGet. WPF is the only notable big dealbreaker.
>Professional studio engineers will spend $3000 on a high-precision digital clock for their DACs because it makes a clearly audible difference.

No, this is pure steaming BS. $0.2 crystal has 50 ppm stability.

Better than radio receivers operating at GHz ranges I guess.
And always question assumptions. Those are your enemy and the area where most things are wrong or missed.
The success many youtube creators have on Patreon demonstrates that many people would gladly pay for their content. Whether they'd pay google for the content instead of the creator themselves is another matter entirely... People like the content creators a lot more than they like google/youtube itself.

Yes, and just like you can choose which consensus rules to follow, other people can choose which chain to follow.

There are no first principles where you derive everything from.

A person simply picks a chain to follow, it is their choice and their responsibility, in the same exact way that one chooses for consensus rules.

I appreciate the tip. Now I need to estimate how much I'd gain from the card versus how much time I'd spend moving money around.

BTW, Uber's Visa from Barclaycard gives something like 4% on restaurants and 3% on travel, which is the bulk of my discretionary spending.
Cleaning things can be enjoyable. I know because sometimes I feel like doing it and sometimes I don't. It is practically the best barometer of my mental health I know.

To me, it's common sense that people who always do a good job of keeping things clean generally have a desire or at least a compulsion to do it. Just like the vast majority of people who are thin don't have to starve themselves.
> "There is zero reason to think that a tech company can create content better than anyone else — which is the only way anyone knows of to capture any future ad growth. They have zero advantage over Disney."

I was following but til this point. Unfortunately, it is false assumption, fatally false.

I'm going to over-simplify a bit but...The tech companies know what you watched, how much you watched, at what point you stopped, what you shared (or didn't), etc. If Spotify can guess / predict what you might want to hear, the same can be done for other content.

Furthermore, the traditional media companies spent a fair amount on marketing hoping to get the message out to the appropriate target markets. FB and Google already know who is where, when, why, etc.

Correct me, but didn't Netflix use viewing data / analysis to understand which film's and even scenes "worked" and which did not in order to grow their own content.

So did you end up paying rent then?

Edit: I can expound some. That's what would have been said to me if I responded in that way. Anyone living at home and not doing chores would pay rent. Mom and Dad did, so can anyone else bringing in money.

Growing up, chores were not tied to allowance. We got $5 a week for spending cash, any extra we earned was our own, but chores were just chores. It's how you helped out at home. If you didn't want to do chores, the response was "Here's the classifieds, find an apartment." Now, my parents wouldn't have kicked a 12 year old out for announcing they wouldn't do chores, but A) the realization of how much money one would need to survive on their own is a hell of a shocker, and B) there are much better ways to apply pressure to get someone back on board with being helpful.

Not a Python dev but I worked a lot with Ruby performance a lot for the past few years.

Do you really need async IO? Even at Google scale[1] it's kinda a waste of time for web/job servers and only required for proxying etc. The overhead of threads is massively overstated [2]

Ruby scales a long way using Puma or Phusion Passenger with one process per core (just like NodeJS) and adding threads until you hit CPU saturation. Python must have something similar?

What does operator precedence have to do with this? Ending a parameter list with a comma changes the output of the print keyword but not a function. Assignment statements can contain function calls but not the print keyword.

C style function calls are common, explicit, and consistent. Python adds the best combination of positional, variadic, and named parameters of any language I know. ML style has less punctuation and simpler grouping rules. Ruby has the weaknesses of both.

> There isn’t a web framework that I’m aware of which magically makes all sync requests async.

Waitress gets part of the way there. IIUC Request/response is done via asyncio but the actual web app part uses a thread so you can't accidentally block the whole thing.
I did my schooling in India where, in those days, they transitioned us from pencils to pens in grade 5. Most notably, we were never allowed to use ballpoint or even felt-tip pens, it always had to be a fountain pen. I have never lost my love of the fountain pen. I bought a Kaweco just a few months ago.
How long is that Bézier?
It's not about a hard speed limit, it's about driving at walking pace. It's not for thoroughfares, it's for cul-de-sacs where people live and children play. No car has any business going fast there.

Maybe you have already, since it sounds like you've communicated your feelings, but if you haven't yet I'd specifically talk about when you'll be able to work the job description they hired you for. Might be worth sticking it out in the short term. I've seen people leave just a little too early many times and it's a shame.
> "Most people would not pay for the kind of content..."

I'm fairly certain an economist would tell you they are paying now. That is, in simple layperson's terms: "Time is money." All that time on FB - contributing and consuming - is being paid for. AND FB gets to serve them ads as well.

It's hard to believe it's legal ;)
>>> What matters is getting a positive return.

In theory yes but not in practice.

Many companies run ads as strict losses, until they stop spending or die, then another company will eventually the spot.

The revenue equilibrium is about where Google is paid all revenues from the customers it brought. The company gets more customer but makes neither a profit nor a loss. It's very close to that in practice.

It's really brutal. Google can effectively capture all profit margin from every web business in the world. That's what is happening.
In the UK I think every school child still learns to write with a fountain pen around the age of seven. There's one particular cheap plastic pen that everyone used to have that stationers sold in bulk. I had to do a sort of thesis about a topic I was interested in and hand-write it in a fountain pen to become a 'master scribe' or something like that - I did mine about special effects in film.
Getting data from the request to the DB requires dealing with all those memory management issues. The Rust compiler is amazingly helpful but the complexity is still there.
Wouldn’t it be cool if they got it from their own spreadsheet?
Web ads is already dead, but if you have users, you can still monetize, for example by product endorsement, up-selling additional services, etc. Companies will still pay for the top spots in the search result though, and Facebook will make it harder to block ads. But for normal web sites, like news sites, they have to focus on quality instead of quantity in order to make people pay. And also we badly need micro-payments for the web.
I believe your second sentence negates the first.

But even if it didn't, Patreon is a glorified busker's tip jar. There are only a small number of individuals on earth who can make a full-time living from it. There's no sign that this model could work at scale for a large corporation. Even if it theoretically could, in practice your second sentence would again come into play.
So olive oil?
> the biggest flaw i see in the planning of most prospective parents is that they fail to acknowledge their children will not be confined to their little garden of eden

That doesn't mean I don't believe my kids are going out to experience(and develop their own) moral codes. What it means is that as long as they are in my house, they will abide by my rules, as they will have to when they will abide by their landlord's rules. This is coming from a former kid who went over to his friend's houses to play FPS games, downloaded porn then erased the internet history, and visited anarchy websites teaching me how to build bombs and the like. I know what children are liable to do outside my range of vision.

The problem I have with your perspective is that it can be taken to any end and doesn't teach children that different people have their own values, or that parents have a duty to their children's wellbeing. It takes moral relativism to such an extreme that, given the possibility that your premises are true, I'd have to question whether parents are even necessary.

The reason that I would instill my values in my children is so they can enter a world where not everyone sees my moral codex as valid, thus they are given something to think about when they come to an age where they're forced to wonder whether I as a parent am being reasonable. They can choose to rebel, which they almost certainly will, and they can also choose to respect at least some of my values. In my experience, the kids who grew up in households whose parents let their kids do whatever they wanted turned out to be dependent little shitheads. I know of only one exception, and in that case the dad was such a negligent jerk that the kid had to raise himself; he turned out pretty well in the end, but that's not without the psychological drama of having shitty parenting and other mistakes he made because he had no moral guidance.

Sorry, but I'd rather be an actual dad and play some role in how a child gets raised. Allowing children, especially under the age of 12, to do whatever they want, is absurd.

> your perfect moral codex

I never made such a claim.
That's clearly rendering without any hints.

The page mentions they have both hinted and unhinted files you can use... but they recommend only using them for Windows where users prefer that look. (You clearly do.) I'm guessing you're using the unhinted one?
There's definitely way more walking since there is no "car culture" like in the US. I've heard that olive oil plays a big role as well.

Standards like SMART-on-FHIR [1] and CDS Hooks [2] have the potential to allow innovation developed outside of Epic and Cerner inside of those products. Both of those vendors even have "App Stores" [3] [4]. So far, though, there aren't a lot of apps in these stores, and none of my doctors (all of whom work for large academic medical centers and use Epic) have access to any third-party apps - so I do wonder whether the vendors (or their customers) may be putting up roadblocks that are slowing adoption.

It seems like that particular article is mostly about variance and methodological concerns. I only saw the abstract though
Put money into a checking account and have the child manage it. Any deposits from you need to be far enough apart to be a stretch for your child to manage. You want to get to quarterly or longer periods. Think of it like a bonus plan. They're part of the family and contributing in non-financial ways, so they get a share of the wealth.

This teaches valuable skills. I can't tell you how many people showed up at college with no idea of how to manage a bank account.

If they have money in their account, they can spend it on what they want, but they should be required to spend a portion of it on charitable things. Having money comes with responsibilities. If they run out, they need to figure something out.

Later, introduce the child to the concept of investing by showing how you can earn money in stocks, bonds, funds, etc.

Also, money they earn goes into the account. My friend bought a used car and fixed it up when he was 15 based on the money he earned from work he did for neighbors and investing in the stock market.

His dad was an engineer who flipped houses before it was fashionable. If the kids wanted a job, he always had one that paid.
It's tabular numbers only, not letters.

And "automatically monospacing" any font that is designed proportionally will look terrible, so stick to an entirely monospace font.
I think you’re fundamentally misinterpreting the value of creativity here. While audience data is valuable for marketing existing shows, it currently has almost no value for creating new shows.

Just take a look at YouTube creators. Some guy in Australia who ignores data and makes things with mud and plants produces content more popular than almost anything else.

Sure, Google owns the platform, but they remain reliant on the creative, anti-data processes of others.
awesome, thanks! Use youtube-dl all the time, didn't realize it support sound cloud.

I mean, the old IRC, not freenode which is full of power-tripping autists.
Thanks for the heads up (S76) but Linux runs on pretty much anything these days. This laptop is a Dell Inspiron with a 17" touch screen and lots of sensors. I'm running Arch Linux on it and everything is supported out of the box. The only tweak I have made towards hardware is changing the driver in use for the Synaptics mouse, which dmesg mentioned and will probably become the norm soon anyway.

There really is no such thing as MS native only anymore. I got Linux on here without accepting any obnoxious licenses and my laptop's price was partially subsidised by all the crap that I never even saw. To be honest, I'm not sure what the exact price breakdown really is on this thing but I do know that MS did not get in my way.

Dell are pretty Linux friendly, for example to update firmware I copy the new image to my /boot partition (EFI) and then use the built in option at boot to update the firmware - simples! No more farting around with turning swap into FAT32 for a while and a FreeDOS boot disc.
