Qt doesn't use native widgets.

wxWidgets does, but I think even an automated conversion of LCL API would be better than what they have. It's a framework that's still stuck in C++ circa mid-90s.
Really enjoyed Science Strategy and War. Basically using the OODA loop and using mental models to make rapid decisions. The best book on John Boyd’s OODA loop in my opinion.
The emulator itself seems to be in the clear, however `gameboy.live` certainly is not. It's hosting quite a handful of copyrighted games, and that's likely to earn it a cease and desist if it gets popular. Of course, at the moment it is also being hugged to death; I was not able to start a session.

I can't imagine that telnet versions of gameboy games are really going to take off in any capacity. That said, if you do choose to self host, make sure you protect the access in some way, or only distribute freely licensed homebrew, etc etc.
I'd guess it's about guaranteed response times (which is the definition of a realtime system - it must respond within the specified time). Since it's running a non-realtime OS, you could get arbitrarily long gaps in execution, which is not great for something that's driving a car.

Ubuntu 19.04: Disco Dingo Review
This whole service economy model just seems to me like a way to concentrate wealth (and, therefore, power) even further. It's like we've decided it's really inefficient to have the working population's wages tied up in houses, cars, cookware etc. when we could just have them funnel that money directly back into the coffers of the corporations that own more and more of everything.

Do we need to revisit the definition of a company town?

> Because with out the Electoral College, the rest of the states do not matter.. the Elections will be decided by about 5 states in the union

This doesn't really make sense: without the Electoral College, states as entities don't decide anything. You could say the people in five states will decide the (presidential) election, but there's nothing special about them other than population density. A vote in California would be exactly the same as a vote in Wyoming.

> if National popular vote is enacted the Blue States will effectively control government at the national level

Do the Legislative and Judicial branches not exist? Eliminating the Electoral College has no effect on the former whatsoever, and it affects the latter only insofar as the Legislative branch fails to be a check on the Executive for the purpose of nominating judges.

True, Democrats would have an edge in presidential elections — but only because the general population leans Democratic. If Republicans want to win elections, maybe they should have to convince more people to support them, rather than essentially gerrymandering the presidency with a system that divides the country up into arbitrary districts and allocates votes thereto?
There's a place for both kinds of explanations. This is a good way of explaining what a Kalman filter is to someone who has a mathematical background, just like if you go look up a woodworking video, it might show an interesting way for someone who is familiar with woodworking to build a chair.

Neither is useful to the novice, but an article like this going out of its way to explain, say, matrix notation, or a video about building chairs that spends the first ten minutes explaining how to use a table saw, is less useful and interesting to the experienced reader or viewer.

I suppose I agree that articles like this shouldn't be presented as easy, or for the beginner, but there's a difference between "simple" and "easy".

You may or may not have some ADHD tendencies, but it’s not uncommon for people to miss out on diagnosis as children.

I wasn't diagnosed until I was 19 or 20 because my perfectionism (which was/is directly tied to the anxiety/major depression I was diagnosed with at 14, but self-diagnosed at 9) sort of overrode the traditional symptoms. I did well in school (because I couldn’t NOT have perfect grades). I excelled at work. For many years, I was compulsively neat. (I’m not really sure what happened to the neatness).

When I was 17, I was put on ADHD meds as a way to treat side-effects of an antidepressant, but I found it had a ridiculously positive impact on my life. In college, I was formally diagnosed, and my psychiatrist posits that the fact that I appeared to be “fine” is what kept me under the radar. According to my doctor, it’s not uncommon for that to happen, especially if the individual is of above-average intelligence (I was given the “gifted” label before entering kindergarten).

I always “joke” (except, it’s not a joke an I’m 100% serious), that I’m a high-functioning ADHD person. And it’s true; over the last 15 years or so, I’ve learned to augment my behavior and recognize when the disease is impeding on my life. For clarification: being able to recognize something != always being able to change what is happening. I’ve also been fortunate to find work in fields where my ability to do multiple things at once is useful.

But I tell people I’m in meetings with frequently about the stuff I do to help quell my worst tendencies (I play puzzle games on my phone, for instance, so that I can pay attention to what people are saying. It looks rude, but the alternative is me literally not being able to focus on what is being said. And when I explain it, I’ve never found someone to be unsupportive), and I try to plan and make adjustments for my own time clock.

Like you, if it’s something I’m interested in, I can be hyper focused for hours. But the second something is born for even just not that compelling, it’s a struggle.
One crazy fact is that the development of the B-29 (which dropped the atom bomb) was actually more expensive than the Manhattan Project itself
It could help you make personal progress by exposing you to a new problem space, and that may help you transition to that problem space full-time, but a 20% project itself is very unlikely to help you get promoted, and getting promoted is the most concrete way of evaluating of career progress, and a big part of most people's career goals.

For that, you have to knock it out of the park in your main job, not a 20% project.

I fall into alot of the list but I will say I do not suffer from ADHD.

When I was at school I was told I had ADHD and put on Ritalin. But I couldn't tell the difference between taking ritalin and not taking it, I didn't focus any better, didn't get in trouble any less.

I always figured I wasn't challenged enough in school, or wasn't doing something I enjoyed.

If I was doing technical drawing I always got top of the class and helped the other kids with their work. In History class we learned about NZ history which is like 150 years of nothing, so I couldn't focus, yet you give me a book about Egypt and I'm fascinated and sit for hours reading.

It's not really possible due to the issues with some small leakage and classification of the events.

For example, you might be ok with sending errors your app generates to the vendor so they can improve their product but there could be leakage.

Filenames could leak and if you named something with PII then that leaks as well.

People are having fewer children but the change is not quite as stark as you are painting it. The US fertility rate is near or at an all time low, but it's not like it's half what it was in the 80s. It's just a few percent lower than it was forty years ago.
I found another difference between C and C++ recently. C++ compiles the code in the following post ok, but C doesn't.

No, if the national popular vote is enacted, the majority opinion among citizens will control the government at the national level. States will have nothing to do with it, that's the point of a popular vote.

It baffles me that many Americans are ok with the current rule-by-simpsons-paradox that we have.

Because of the electoral college, combined with the cap on the size of the house, less populous states are overrepresented in the house, Senate, and presidency. That's not what the founders intended, and it's a mistake that should be corrected.

Pushing it a bit further and forgetting about regulation for a second... Do you think people will feel comfortable eating food cooked by "strangers"? I can see the efficiency coming from an on demand market for food where anyone can cook anything for anyone and broadcast it in an app (especially in ethnically diverse cities where I'm sure a lot of people know how to cook amazing dishes), I just don't know if our norms and mental barriers will evolve fast enough for us to see that happening in say the next 10 years. It's one thing to enter the car of a "stranger" for an Uber ride, but maybe it's a different thing to eat some food cooked by a stranger?
If by chance you have ADHD symptoms and you haven't been to a sleep clinic, please visit one. Not getting enough sleep can be a major contributing cause.
SF (and most major cities) already have these. Here’s the list of neighborhoods with a “business improvement district”: https://oewd.org/community-benefit-districts
This article kind of glosses over some of the tougher parts of their origin story. I saw a documentary about Dr. Bronner's on, I think, Netflix perhaps 7 years ago and it talked about how their dad, the company's founder, was essentially an absentee father because he was off preaching his self styled religion and making soap. Apparently he also spent some number of years in an insane asylum in IL before heading out to California as I recall.

Love the product, don't feel like this article does their origin story justice.

Edit: looks like it isn't on Netflix streaming any more but I think it was called, "Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap Box" [0]

Maybe it's a cultural thing? I know there are places where men refuse to cook, but most men I know enjoy cooking.

That being said I've noticed men usually pick a few dishes and become really good at cooking them, whereas women will generalise.
Organizing and executing sucks with ADHD, but it helps in executing without much organization.

It could be a good thing in the right environment like a startup.

Trying to organize then execute something could take a month of back and forth and planning. If you skip that step, you can get it done in a week then plan afterwards.
Constant sirens from emergency vehicles seem to be about as useful as car alarms.

Except in urban environments the sirens are 24/7, reverberate for blocks, and are extremely hard to localize until the vehicle is right next to you and blaring at 120dB.

It's like someone constantly yelling "hey, there's an emergency somewhere!"
It'd be even better if they could go around fixing broken windows.

The authors propose an unsupervised encoder for ASR. The encoder is trained using an interesting upstream task of predicting whether an audio portion or clip succeeds the current one or not. The authors report superior overall accuracy results even surpassing the massively trained Deepspeech 2 model in certain datasets. The authors perform insightful characterization and ablation studies and report results.

The approach seems to provide significant accuracy boost when the supervised training set available is small, e.g., less than 10 hours. The relative improvement is modest over baseline supervised model trained on 10s of hours of transcribed audio. The trends indicate that the improvement is probably minimal when 100s of hours of supervised training data is available.

The authors report improvements over Deepspeech on certain datasets. Deepspeech uses a 5-gram language model. The proposed model has significantly lower performance (albeit on a smaller supervised training set) when it also uses an n-gram-based language model. Improvements over Deepspeech are shown when convolutional language models are used. Hence, it is possible that the improvements over Deepspeech are contributed mainly by the use of convolutional language models. Comparing with Deepspeech+conv language model will provide a better apple-to-apple comparison of the proposed unsupervised pre-trained acoustic model.

The gains also seem to have diminishing returns as the number of hours of unsupervised training data increases (improvement is marginal even with 10x increase of unsupervised training data).
I have been using Linux since I was 14 and professionally since I was 18 - Ubuntu makes so many things simple nowadays.

Perhaps. Climate change has been scientific since what, the 70s or 80s? Only recently have we seen repeated significant increases in the global mean temperature. This means early skeptics now are forced to choose reality vs. being a conspiracy theorist.

Politicians try to appeal to their base but both sides know climate change is 1) too far into the future to matter and 2) not much impact even in the far future.
Read up the studies. I'd say it's probably best studied in schizophrenia, they have all kinds of cognitive improvements on antipsychotics, rather very unpleasant drugs.

Dopaminergics like amphetamines, ritalin or bromantane do help with anxiety, it's common knowledge, but I don't think the effect is sustainable long term, at least not that I've heard. More common for that effect to fade away with time on chronic dosages and more of a jitterness surface later on.
Yeah, this piece reads like the Wikipedia page for Kalman filters. It’s right, but it’s not very informative if you don’t already understand the topic. There’s definitely no attempt to simplify anything here.
That's...not what led to the US being founded. The cries were "no taxation without representation", not "no taxation without over representation" for a reason. Subjects in the US has no representation in the British parliament, not approximately the number they should have given population, but none. If they had, about 25% of the house of commons would have been US elected representatives, none were.

I have recently launched a new web app https://www.wisaw.com

Google search console tells me that at least 88 pages were crawled and indexed.

I'm confused. main doesn't take void--it takes two arguments. The f() syntax means that the definition doesn't specify how many arguments the function will be called with, while f(void) means it takes no arguments.

It's not traumatizing to everyone and everyone reacts to things differently.

Low-frequency rumbling noise is particularly horrible. You can hear it from miles away. It seems almost inescapable in and near cities.
Depends on your original role and what you do for 20% time. Some people setup volunteer groups, makers spaces, etc. that might not really fit their ladder so it makes it harder to grow. However, you can definitely take on projects that do align with your career path and can help with things like promotion. I've done 20% work helping to develop material for Coursera programs that did fit my ladder pretty well.
I think "cloud gaming" was pretty accurate:

I wonder. Say in one of these rediculously priced costal cities, you convert kitchen into a sleeping room. Would the saved rent (because it can be split more ways) pay for FaaS?
I guess my interest is actually in finding books that teach _one_ mental model, or at most one with a few variations to really send the point home. There's no shortage of fascinating compilations or general studies (e.g. Thinking Fast & Slow is not a walk-away-with-one-concept book, apart from perhaps "oh damn there's a lot of biases out there!"), but there might be a shortage of books that effectively focus on a single concept.
That should have been disallowed in C11, but apparently it wasn't. You do have to have function prototypes now, but they can still be empty.

Yes, I appreciate that. Although it's worth mentioning that some modifications (such as removing seat belts or tail-lights) would render the car un-roadworthy and are effectively illegal.

My concern is less with legality and more with lethality.
