Ripoff!!, I've never seen anything like it elsewhere, has anybody else?
> That's why you don't fly in helicopters, and in bad weather. You fly scheduled airlines, in good-enough weather.

From what I gathered, said bad weather was extremely localized. Someone who had just arrived at the location (by car) around the time of the accident noted that the sky was clear just a few miles away.
The last hackintosh I made was in 2017 and it's still a beast. Maintenance was relatively easy

However, the future of pain-free Hackintosh doesn't seem very likely. It's rumored (or confirmed?) Apple will do its proprietary ARM system as MacOS eventually moves onto that [1] (maybe not this year, but in the near future). And then there's the T2 chip.

I have been slowly moving away from Mac in general as I have no need for it (not a Mac/iOS developer). The alternatives are just as good or better for my taste.

This seems like a good move to me.

The only people who really need LTS releases are companies that are able and [should be] willing to pay for LTS support.

It's good value for money due to its lifespan. My family's iPad 2 is 8 years old and still going strong. Daily game-playing and web surfing sites still compatible with the old version of Safari. Whereas my Samsung Note tablet died after 2 years and wouldn't charge.
Does it support Debian-style initramfs shell scripts?
Yeah I use one extensively. It’s great, especially for browsing website with tiny buttons (like HN) and drawing in notes. I don’t think going to 2 is a huge concern.
But that's deaths. Apparently a large part of surviving SARS patients still have significant health problems. And that's a coronavirus too.
Yes - I have the same experience.

I tried to use split screen initially but found little value in it and now ignore.
I find the contemporary "smaller" smartphone form factors to be too large already.
That first line is key to so much. All of hardware is tradeoffs. There is no magic.
This doesn't hurt open source users at all, though.

Only for-profit companies tend to actually need LTS releases. People don't.
Great platforms for CTF or pen-testing practice if that is something you enjoy. I have a few raspberry pis and old phones that I test out new tools and methods on. If something breaks or something I install looks questionable I can factory reset them (the phones) and its no big deal.

Doesn't really matter what you personally think, what matters is what companies think, because they have the data to back it up. Is it a waste of money or not? Office for iPad came in 2014 and still being quite actively developed so I think we can conclude the opposite of what you are saying.

> reduction in travel alone will not do much to stop the spread.

This is exactly what you can't conclude from the analysis that was done, the numbers matter significantly.

If a 99% restriction locally gives a 25% reduction globally, that tells us very little about what happens with a 99.99% restriction, which is probably closer to what has been achieved.

And neither do I give a value judgment on the difference in alert level between the yearly Influenza and this Corona outbreak: I’m just - speculatively - attempting an explanation, without necessarily endorsing it.

It’s the same reasoning behind the alarm behind HIV in Africa: not only it kills, it removes the economically active demographic from the economy while tying up even more in their assistance...

Finding Mona Lisa in the Game of Life
The blame slinging seems a bit unwarranted given the understandable constraints on detonation tests.

The two plauisble outcomes even as a laymen are either the plutonium's decay results in less energetic nuclear explosions as lost to atomic decay or the breakdown products "poison" it to a dud which cannot sustain fission. The other unlikely result is a "meltdown state". The decay chains would presumably be calculable without any destruction.

The composition could potentially be destructively tested by centrifuges and chromatography suitable for weapons grade radioactives - possibly resulting in just some low level possibly atomic waste instead of a detonation.
Don't Eject – Why to Leave Your Create React App in the Disc Drive
That was intentionally. Apple wanted iPhone apps to suck on the iPad to force developers to make an iPad app. If developers can get away with just shipping an iPhone app and still have a decent experience they will.
But why is this an issue? The source code is available under GPL and LGPL regardless what the company does. If they would decide to no longer open source their fixes or new releases the community has still the source of the last release and can continue to maintain and develop it. There are several large open source projects which are driven by a large community; so even if the Qt Company would no longer maintain Qt (today about 50% of the commits seem to come from the community already) then others would I'm sure.

Currently I mostly see an issue in the fact that an open source developer contributing to the Qt repository run by the Qt Company signs (by action of checkin) a contributor agreement which lets the Qt company use the contributions of the developer commercially and file a law suite based on code provided by the open source developer. If there was a Qt fork independently managed by the Qt Company (e.g. on Github) people could contribute without this issue.
I use them for real work. Taking notes (the split windows view is awesome for this - notes app in one window and the book in the other), reading, creating illustrations and other artwork, etc. I don't think they are a toy at all. I have a desktop computer and a couple of high end laptops, but I still reach for the ipad most often.
You are looking for a "boilerplate" than.

There are some e.g. for Django I think. Have a look at this: https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django

And stripe and google analytics are made to integrate easily, that shouldn't need a boilerplate.

For newsletters external tools are better suited so you don't run in to spam filters too much.

My country have close to 100% green electricity and I need the heat a big part of the year. According to the scientists it is better for the climate to run the projects distributed this way than to use mainframes.
It's the same "discovery problem" that every long tail market encounters: a significant portion of the tail is going to be either low-quality or irrelevant to most consumers of that domain. So you need aggregators, and those aggregators will face pressure to moderate the long tail by surfacing the most relevant results, while also still providing access to the tail in some form (see also Ben Thompson's aggregation theory [1]).

Unfortunately, this dynamic is more social than anything: there can only be so many aggregators that can occupy the zeitgeist. That scarcity of attention leads to rent-seeking behavior, which is the main problem with academic journals. The current situation is probably approaching optimal; large institutions fund the moderation and aggregation through journal subscriptions, while access is widely available via Sci-Hub.

Without a profit motive, such moderation would be even more politically-driven than it is today. At the same time, the Sci-Hub community does need to ensure its continued existence because it is such a massive boon to science writ large.

Precisely 20 years ago you might be right, but the year 2000 later turned out to be that one year where mp3 piracy crossed over from still somewhat niche to utter mainstream. And before practical portable mp3 solutions, that was entirely a desktop PC experience. People who could barely type in January would have built their own PC from components by the end of that year. (Some regional shifts related to internet availability and pricing models might apply)

Changes happened crazy fast in those days.

(I am not informed about what the typical arrangement is to spread out the stochastic reward a pool earns over its members, so I am making no claims on this front)

But if the (non-principled) value of mining 20 blocks is 20 block rewards, then there we have the cost of buying 20 blocks (assuming miners non-ideologically sell out).

Assume they would not voluntarily sell out, then any flaw in the pooling mechanism (by which miners dilute the rewards into a steady income) which allows 1) other work to be assigned to the miner 2) while still receiving their intended addresses, would allow an attacker who is able to hijack the work assignments, to buy those 20 blocks for the price roughly on the order of ~ 20 block rewards, by 1) hijacking the work assignments 2) payout out the miners the correct expected amounts so that they hopefully don't notice

Is that correct?
So you think you know better than Microsoft and Adobe? Have you thought that they may know their customer base better than you do?
The lack of an offline installer (i.e. a standalone installer that can be archived) is a bigger issue in my opinion.
GNOME went for proper CORBA (in the form of Bonobo [1]), KDE preferred something non-standard but easier to work with and much more performant (what is now KParts [2] + DCOP [3]).

Bonobo has been abandoned around GNOME 2.4. KParts are still used in KDE 5 and you have probably heard of DCOP's child: D-Bus.

Your mobile phone provides much better tracking than what tracking can be achieved with FR. Your mobile is a giant microphoned fink you're carrying around, providing exactly your worst imaginations of what FR might eventually become.
That's correct. Initially we wanted to use corba, but quickly discovered that all that led to was complexity and performance problems. Then at the first KDE conference some people cobbled together dcop, which later morphed into dbus when Gnome also gave up on corba.
I put an Apple 4x PCIe AHCI SSD, a Radeon R9 280X, 2 additional SATA SSDs, and a USB 3 card into a 2006 Mac Pro with dual quadcores and 32GB RAM.

In my opinion, it is faster, more light-weight, and at the same time has more features and is more customizable so you can set it up the way you want to work with. In my opinion it is the best desktop currently available on computers even ahead quite a bit compared to commercial ones.
We have a desktop computer, a few laptops, and a few iPads. I've never seen any of my kids (elementary school age up to college age) try to creatively explore the machine itself. I'm a programmer and I've even tried to interest them in programming. Nope. All they are interested in is Facebook, Instagram, and other web pages. If it doesn't take place in a browser windows, they have no interest. But, they aren't even interested in web development! A computer is just a tool. They have no more interest in looking under the hood than they do tearing apart the engine of a car to see how it works. As long as the car gets them from A to Z, that is all that matters. If it breaks, well, that is someone else's job to fix.
This way won't stay on the front page . Someone flags it and when time passes mods unflag it but it stays out of the front page , it reaches to less people. Perfect manipulation.

I recently(about 3 months ago) started using Qt while learning C++ and I'm working on a desktop App I'm excited about. Seeing this...makes me think the future of Qt for non-commercial projects is rather bleak. Should I consider porting the App to some other API/framework? This is very sad news for me, as I was JUST starting to love Qt as an API for GUI applications. I don't want to sound dramatic, but I'm borderline freaking out guys.
