I think that Qt is using WebGL as the backend, so it goes directly to the 3d graphics card.

Having those 30 MiB of Qt library precached in the browser may be the solution to the load times.

HTML/CSS was designed for documents.

QML was designed for application GUI.

Qt is not built for the web because web is not built for the GUI apps.

None of the big providers send DMARC messages. Google doesn't. Microsoft doesn't. The only DMARC messages I've ever gotten were from Yahoo and mail.ru.

Google/Microsoft don't send DMARC reports because it would make it easier for spammers to know they had gotten past those filters. It's easier to just drop everything they don't like silently. It's why e-mail is terribly unreliable today (much more reliable if you DO NOT use Microsoft or Google).

Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. All of the things on this list are desirable and somebody has to do research for us to ever achieve them. The problem still is people trying to misrepresent the state of the art, whether in academia or in the industry.
Would a native English speaker use the word "landed" in this way? In the context of aircraft? "Landed" is badly ambiguous here and several distinct meanings are plausible. Captured is the most natural word given your interpretation.

Honestly that sentence -- the use of landed and that awful plural -- approaches engrish. Is that deliberate or is the use of English here just badly flawed? I can't see any other possibilities.
Looks interesting, but very difficult without a proper tutorial. Sidenote: forcing > 11 char passwords just seems arbitrary.
I really like what Stripe have done, and I think they're one of the few great startups from the last decade.

I'm surprised to hear that you didn't support Prop C. I've visited SF and was horrified by the homeless problem there, particularly in the face of huge inequality. Didn't you want to do something about that?
It's not a myth. It's the opinion of most people who have read them (including me).

However, many would say the entire compilation is a myth.
I am thinking rather in the context of google plus for example: they had the money to promote it and the channels to do it and still they had to close it.

Throwing money at a problem doesn't always solve it. Not wanting to sound conspirational, but there's got to be more than huge piles of money behind tiktok.
Check your Gmail message and look in the headers. I'm willing to bet you have some fails and softfails there. That's why you're been labeled as spam.
You can also just use the native imap client provided by your operating system. The beauty of using a provider and service that adheres to open email standards.
I think it's more clear if you say "I usually eat X with Y", i.e. Y it's either the company, the tool or the condiment that you eat with (contrasted with "I'm eating my X", where X is a dish like "rice with chicken")
As if "being treated as a whistle blower" in a positive sense is even a thing.
Just out of curiosity, what was considered cool?
Yeah, this debate have spread to quite a lot of the threads on the mailop mailing list recently.

It's simply one of those things one has to deal with if one operates an email server.
Yes, the big mail providers are an issue. But it's also an issue the other way around. We use Postmark at my place of work and unfortunately, that doesn't prevent all of our mail from being marked as spam. Some mail gets blocked because it comes from the same IP address as some spam mail. I know that Postmark puts effort in preventing spammers to use their service but Amazon probably doesn't care a lot about people misusing SES.
That's funny, this got me googling around and I discovered my mistake. I thought that looked like a retro Toyota grill. Definitely in love with the Land Cruiser 70.

Unfortunately we can't get them in the states. Truly rugged bare bones vehicles have sold so poorly in the U.S. that a base Ford pickup is about the simplest thing you can buy here.
It's not just grounding the language in vision, but the embodiment, first person perspective and ability to interact with the environment. Humans have had the benefit of slowly evolving in a complex environment which is too expensive to recreate for artificial agents. We can only create very limited sims vs the real world.
Of course you can. Nature has done it multiple times before at scale. It’s pretty horrible but we always mean revert.
Go ahead. Incidentally boolean tricks like the windowed reduction are fairly common knowledge in the APL community, even though they're considered esoteric outside of it. It might be helpful to know that every function with boolean arguments and result which depends on both arguments has its own primitive (one of ∧∨⍲⍱<≤=≥>≠). Once you know you're transforming pairs of booleans to booleans, you just have to figure out which one it is.

We're not sending anyone to Code Mesh. I hadn't heard of the conference, but given how close it is maybe we should apply in the future.
as an individual i see no problem with resisting the manipulation of large corporations.

in fact, it's individualism that allows me to make that choice, because as an individual i have the freedom to make different choices than you.

it's peer pressure that i can't entirely escape. at least when it comes to tools that we need to choose to collaborate.

groups can be used to help resist temptations. but that means i am voluntarily using peer pressure to help me. which is fine, as long as it is done selectively. someone may join the AA to help them change their drinking habits.

but amish culture seems more of an all or nothing approach. there seems to be little freedom to adopt certain aspects of the culture, while rejecting others, unless you are an outsider.

I pay around 3$/month for Fastmail, I don't think it's expensive, an email address is the primary communication method everyone uses nowadays and it's useful every day.

so, uh, you probably weren't aware of this (I know I wasn't until fairly recently when I made a similar comment and a jewish friend pointed this out) but many jewish people consider speaking casually about how the new testament is good/ the old testament is bad to be pretty offensive. The gist I think of what my friend was telling me was that if I took the time to understand the jewish scripture, all of the stuff about loving your neighbor, feeding the poor, etc... is already in those jewish scriptures that prefigured the new testament- I mean, that's just scriptural interpretation, which I am not really qualified to get into - but the offensive bit is that casually dismissing the old testament as bad while praising the new testament as good can come off like saying "the religion my ancestors had has a more moral holy book than the religion your ancestors had" and it's pretty easy to see how that could give offense.

(I mean, I'm not a bible scholar; just... it was, you know, one of those times when I unintentionally gave offense, and seems like something you should be aware of if you are trying to avoid flame wars.)
the argument was made that they don't use solar because it is not green enough. of course we are not going to get the answer here by mere speculation.

All the books cited here by Arnold, Spivak, and Lanczos are extraordinarily good.

Nobody has mentioned yet "Geometry and the Imagination" by Hilbert and Cohn-Vossen. If there is a Feynman equivalent in math it is certainly this book.

For elementary geometry, the Feynman equivalent is probably "Introduction to Geometry", by H.S.M.Coxeter. Beautifully written, figures on every page, covers all geometric topics (affine, projective, ordered, differential, ...)

For differential geometry, nothing beats "A Panoramic view of Differential Geometry" by Berger. It is a stunning comprehensive overview of the whole field, focused on the meaning and the applications of each part and, strangely for a math book, with no formal proofs. Only the main ideas of the proof and the relationships between them are given, but this allows to fit the whole subject into a single, manageable whole.
I actually had no idea that the catholic church permitted an english translation so early.
I find it amazing how people think that "farming box machines" (which in my book includes hydroponics) are somehow better than just ploughing a furrow, watering it, planting and then proceeding to water and fertilise as needed. Hydroponics does make sense if you grow cannabis.

There is also a misconception about "shade plants". All of the major plant crops that I know of want full sun. Sunburn in avacodos (for example) is due to pruning or exposed stem/bark and the reason why paint (er, sunblock) is applied is an efficiency measure; the exposed stem also stimulates fruit formation so you don't want too many leaves (which naturally would prevent sunburn).
Yeah exactly. The Monty Hall problem is about the probability of being correct with your first pick. It doesn’t really have anything to do with "changing probabilities".

The immense majority of Qt is LGPL ; only these modules are GPL / commercial : https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtmodules.html#gpl-licensed-addons

though I still think that QtQuick (or even QtWidgets with https://www.kdab.com/declarative-widgets/) are much more readable and fast to market.
"Nobody is forcing" is never a good answer. If gp is a react developer, his feedback and feeling about the framework matters.
Scons is effectively dead, and I wish people would start removing it from the Python build systems web pages.

Meson is written in Python and isn't dead. However, Meson requires a partner to actually build things--something like cmake or ninja.

However, I think the original poster meant "Why Lua instead of Python?" And the only real answer is "Because that's what the author wanted to use."

OK, here's what we're saying (most of which is covered by the GDPR principles):

1. Telemetry of any kind from a self hosted instance of your product MUST be opt in. Telemetry from your SaaS SHOULD be opt in.
2. The type and content of data that is collected MUST be documented.
3. That data MUST only be collected by Gitlab under a privacy policy and if it is collected by a 3rd party, that 3rd party MUST comply with the Gitlab policy. Changing a TOS doesn't cover it at 30 days notice doesn't cover it.
4. Under GDPR, any and all data collected MUST be available on demand to a customer. Even if Gitlab is not EU based, you sell to the EU and are therefore covered by the GDPR.
5. The data MUST NOT be saved if the customer ends their relationship with Gitlab and MUST be deleted on request of the customer if it is not required for the service to operate.
6. Under GDPR, the data MUST NOT be used for any purpose other than the documented purposes and MUST NOT be saved beyond the period required.

These are basic privacy principles that apply to ANY business, given that Gitlab operates on data that is highly sensitive (ie a corporation's IPR for their code, a corporation's requirement to also be compliant with GDPR etc), you should be operating to a HIGHER standard.
There are a lot of native English speakers in the world and not all of them use the same idioms that you do. This seems like perfectly valid English to me; some other words that could be used instead of “landed” in the aircraft sentence include “bagged”, “nabbed”, “poached”, “got” and “did in”. One of the entertaining aspects of English is the multitude of ways it can be used.
> I think it's landed in the same sense as "landed a deal": got, or achieved, in this case achieving shooting them down.

My buddy is a pilot and they always say "I landed the takeoff pretty good. PRETTY GOOD!"
I guess it annoys me because I suspect that if this is the sort of borderline incoherence one must wade through I would probably score below average.
> How do you think it's possible for an app appearing seemingly out of the blue to move so fast in such a crowded and mature market like social media?

Has anyone in this thread actually spent time watching Tim Tok videos and using the app?

It’s completely addictive, the content and dynamics of the app are great. It’s a really solid product and it’s not confusing why all the kids like it.

I mean I am totally open to the idea that there’s lots more going on and it’s a nuanced situation. But let’s start with the basic facts, it’s not confusing why it’s a giant hit.

It’s a pretty good write up, and it couldn’t have come at a better time, I’m helping my team start using OpenID Connect for a new application and and having a simple human friendly example is huge help.
Yeah, the argument I see most about climate change is "Do something to tackle climate change". And I wish I saw more of "Stop doing that to tackle climate change".

Both are fine, but definitely the latter is my preferred choice. Many unintended consequences can arise from adding more action on top of bad action, even if they come with good intentions.
There is no more energy efficient method of transport than oceanic freight. Rail freight is very efficient too and truck transport isn’t as good but it still beats growling locally in almost all cases in agriculture.

If you care about carbon footprint campaign for a carbon tax. Most of the carbon footprint of transportation is now and shall always be in the last mile, whether that’s Amazon delivering it to your door or you driving to Walmart or Whole Foods.

Capitalism is extremely good at reducing transport costs and since those costs are basically denominated in hydrocarbons it already does a better than half assed job of reducing carbon footprints. But a tax would be much better and more general.
I agree wholeheartedly, actually. I was writing in shorthand.
Select? Right-click?

It's not enabled in the properties of the elements by default, so it's not selectable by default because it's a GUI, not a web document. Web developers have forgotten what an app is while trying to write apps by using tools meant for Web documents.

I recommend making some changes to improve the new user experience:

Take a look at how .io and other multiplayer web games present their homepages:

https://airmash.online/

https://krunker.io/

http://slither.io/

https://agar.io/

There are some common patterns that gamers will be familiar with:

- There's no registration form, only a name field.

- The game is sometimes displayed in the background as live action so you can get a feel for the gameplay before you commit to playing.

- After entering your name, you're presented with a “how to play” box that gives a quick overview. Your game is more complex than typical .io/multiplayer web games but has no such walkthrough.

I'd guess people will probably bounce when they see the registration form at present. (The form usability could also be improved — the “confirm agreement” text should be wrapped in a label so I can click that to enable the checkbox; I shouldn't have to click the checkbox itself.)

The game itself seems interesting but I struggled to quickly pick up the concepts without reading through a lot of text. Web and casual games are generally better when they don't require long manuals, so anything you can do to simplify the game or improve onboarding would help. Perhaps you could distill the game to a more simple concept without losing the essence of it?
There is obviously some attempt to invoke anger here but it's hard for me to understand exactly at what.

Another title could have been: Nonprofit sends food growing technology to refugee camp. That's a pretty generous use of the word "used".

Should they have intentionally kept silent about the fact that they were actively working with refugee camps until they had peer reviewed proof that it worked?

No one here did anything wrong. The technology failed. They will either iterate or decide the idea isn't worth pursuing. No outrage necessary.
This is the famous Feynman method for gaining intuition of many physical problems: just set one of the variables to an absurdly huge number and see what happens.

He illustrated it with the problem of what happens to the level of water on a pool when you throw overboard a stone from a floating boat. Does the water level rise or drop? Well, imagine that your small stone is made of neutron star material...

TikTok is under scrutiny lately in part because of their heavy moderation of content considered objectionable by Chinese regulators. It's shown up in various news stories.
It sent me down a rabbithole of wikipedia articles about theosophy and satanism, so I like it. The framing of satan as representative of rebellion, personal agency, and freedom in the face of established order interests me, regardless of how much mileage Quadrant can get out of it.

You can find it boring, and that's fine, but you can't make me find it boring.
I wouldn't use it that way myself, but at the same time the intended meaning is clear as day to me from the context. I'm surprised by the reactions. "Enemy" should give it away immediately.
Me too. Especially one accounting for all emissions end-to-end, and over a time frame of decades of use. While LEDs themselves are as dirty as the power source they're hooked up to[0], this doesn't count the energy used to produce and transport those LEDs and all other equipment. It's especially important because equipment breaks down, and a lot of it is designed to break down fast[1].

I also recommend Adam Curtis’s four part documentary “The Century of the Self”, the first episode of which is here: https://youtu.be/DnPmg0R1M04

The first episode deals exclusively with Bernays, and the following three episodes follow a political narrative of impact.

I believe Curtis’s “Hypernormalisation” would be more salient to the narrative here, which discusses the funding of misinformation as an alternative to traditional authoritarian power structures like censorship: https://youtu.be/fh2cDKyFdyU

Google/Microsoft don't send DMARC reports because it would make it easier for spammers to know they had gotten past those filters.

Is that a recent thing? I was getting DMARC reports from both Google and Yahoo as late as April this year. Around then I pared down my Sonic account and they ate a bunch of stuff that I was too lazy to setup again including DMARC. While Google and Yahoo make up most of the reports I got this year, I also see some from Microsoft and AOL from 2017. 163 (China) used to send out reports too.
I find it ironic that you posed this question on a forum with many anonymous pseudo-experts.

The solution, in my expert opinion, is to teach people to think critically and use multiple trusted sources to gather information.
Why? In many of those benchmarks the average human score is not 100, but the AI progression doesn't really have a ceiling or a slow down at the human number. It should go through it and settle somewhere above. Plus we create these tests with our own limitations. There may be a world of more complexity or subtlelty that we all fail to grasp but the AI will.

I think humans are already behind at the face recognition task for example.
