To me the problem is only injustice and distribution of resources, not how much or little we have in absolute terms. And if we must make up a measure as to who gets to have kids, maybe make it empathy, not wealth, which is a much worse indicator of the quality of a person than even physical strength would be.
I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm saying it would take a lot more effort (by a huge amount, plus more in prototyping phase of development when you're trying stuff out), and in the process you will likely lose many of the advantages of native UI that were mentioned (consistent behavior etc.).

Take for example that "Jump to" text box - if your native UI toolkit doesn't let you add icons into the placeholder text like that (does it even have placeholder text natively?), you'll have to deal with drawing offsets, caret position, or possibly nested components, overriding focus outline, in the worst case resizing the stuff when focused, and other stuff that makes the whole endeavor not worth it due to the added complexity (assuming that text box works how I think it works, I haven't used Slack in a while).

SpaceX: "Movement in space is slow and requires patience and precision"

Can't wait to see speedrunners prove otherwise.
It is quite difficult to control with the mouse. It's basically impossible to kill rotation or velocity along a given axis. So one ends up with bang-bang control, constantly oscillating around the target. I am also somewhat horrified to learn that manual flight might be like this to, through the touchscreen[0]. Although there do appear to be some joysticks the astronauts can use, so hopefully this is just training for contingencies.

All research projects from Google (and similar companies with "infinite stream of money") aren't doing anything useful? Seems overly cynical.

Proof of work really sucks. Bitcoin was poor invention.
I wish I was dead.
I've been having similar thoughts. The company I work for already had a general policy that working remotely one day a week was fine, provided permission was granted by the relevant line manager. This day was primarily to be used for focusing on writing papers (company is positioned in the grey ground between commercial and academic worlds).

However, over the last three months with everyone remote, all the time, it's worked generally well, apart from when access to the labs or R&D plant was required.

I've been missing some of the face to face interactions, and meeting in person can move some discussions forward quicker. My volume of email has dramatically increased.

In the future, I can see two or three days per week remote working being completely plausible and healthy for productive work. A couple of days per week in the office will still be useful for access to specialist equipment, personal networking and team building.
I agree it would be difficult to prove that they caught it at work, but saying they can catch it as easily at home just sounds like 'reopen' rhetoric to me.
To me it seems that large parts of 'average' office jobs are things that a software developer would automate so they took a tenth of the time. Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V and undo are advanced computing to many people.

But of course, the people doing those jobs aren't going to go out of their way to make 90% of their job redundant.

This makes sense for independent contractors, etc. but I was really surprised to find out that he (and his coworkers) all have their "own" tools. To me that was a bit like bringing your own computer to work, which would run in to issues with invention assingment agreements and the like, if nothing else.

To be fair it _kinda_ makes sense in that each person will have their own preference for tools, but it's a pretty big expense.

At work, I've been forced to use angular. It's just awfully complicated, breaks subtly, changes (not improves) constantly and has sucked in hundreds of developer hours that could have been better utilized.

I was appalled at the state of things in front end development till I realized my current project uses kubernetes (implies docker, helm), spring for implementing REST endpoints and ansible for deployments on the back end.

Now things are really fucked.

On both ends.
I think it's slightly different. Usually they would show parts for the standard & heavy duty editions - but they only show parts in stock, so they only displayed one of the options.

In reality, the same outcome would have happened if the store decided to only stock the part for the standard.
The US debate on the quarantine measures is so polarized it's ridiculous.

>I have never used this but something better for GUI would be great even if commercial; what I miss (as a native GUI dev) with all(? if you know any besides framework7 which is basically only mobile) of these html/css frameworks is that there is no equivalent of a control library that can be rapidly used without using (bucketloads) of css. When you browse the examples you see that most have some desktop controls like menus etc; I don't want to 'make' those; I just want to start with a theme (Material) and (as backend dev) never touch css while still being able to make something that looks ok and works like an actual GUI app instead of a web page. Like I can (and do) do in native tech all the time.

In this regard even Visual Basic was far ahead of most of today's client tech. HTML/CSS/JS are not even close to be called a serious GUI stack for applications despite they are used for that as the Web ate the world.

It's a big question how the post corona world will look - are we just gonna forget it ever happened or are we going to try not to pack people in very small places?

Is it not possible to express these ideas in ordinary language?

For instance, is anything lost by instead saying:

Capitalist media companies powered by modern technology are incentivized by profit motive to distort their portrayal of reality.

Specifically, their portrayals will paint a picture of reality more enticing than the real thing; this is self-evident since their revenue is tied directly to 'enticement'.

Once this fictional portrayal has been established and enough people believe in it, later fictional events of the fictional world may become as significant as actual events.

So, institutions affected by capitalist media portrayal will adjust their valuation of potential actions to take this into account. As a result, their behavior will deviate from its traditional role in the context of our real society when it can benefit more by playing a role in the fictional media-created portrayal of the world.

-------

Of course the original version is shorter and sounds cooler, but it's also far more vague and will only be comprehensible to a much smaller subset of the audience here.

What bothers me especially is the original expression's framing in terms of an alternate reality. What does that add? It can't just be fiction but has to be 'hyperreal'? I get it, it's a particular type of fiction so it's more specific than that. The intention is probably like the sense in which a cartoon avatar of a woman with exaggerated curves might be called 'hyperreal'.

And I realize I'm revealing my own philosophical commitments here by suggesting there is a single shared reality to begin with, and I realize the author does not share this stance—but I mean... this is not a community of philosophers: why implicitly adopt a stance which won't be shared 99% of readers as the base framing if there is any legitimate interesting in communication here? I could understand if it were actually necessary to communicate the core idea, but it does not appear to be so.
Many comments that I have read here take one side or the other. Maybe we need to realize that it is just the right thing for some and doesn't work for others. Realities in life are often complex.
This is an insane approach on all platforms and it's depressing that Flutter is gaining mind share. Throwing away the whole platform and rendering everything from scratch with OpenGL/Vulkan etc is just flabbergasting.

Germany is really good about this. So is Poland in fact. But UK is like a desert of food variety. You want to buy some barley? Well, maybe the "health" isle in a supermarket will have some in 300g packets, because no one buys this stuff. Flour? Like.....white or wholemeal? That's about it. There are different brands of course but the variety is exactly zero.

And don't get me started on meat and butchers - I'm conviced that British people don't know what an actual butcher is. The biggest joke are always "butchers" in a meat isle like in Morrisons, who are only allowed to serve very specific cuts of the 4-5 meats they have on display. Try asking if you can just buy some bones for broth(sorry mate, not allowed to sell them), or the horror ask if you can buy some giblets, like chicken hearts or stomachs - nope, they never get them from "the factory". So....are you a butcher? Or a glorified cashier? And it's the same even at proper markets, where you'd think they'd have more flexibility - "nah mate, health and safety mate, can't sell you these". Just piss off.

> This one really drives me mad. Is there really any legit reason to this?

Yes, preventing you to steal their content.

Of course this only works against the technical layman, who does not even think about googeling for a solution to this.
The easiest way to accomplish that is definitely with //go:linkname

You can use a comment of the format '//go:linkname [localname] [method]' to link some function as another one. Notably, this includes unexported private methods in the go runtime and stdlib.

I've seen code in the wild that uses this to grab go's map hash algorithm, get monotonic time, and other things.

The go authors have used this hack themselves in the stdlib often enough because the runtime doesn't expose some knob, and rather than thinking that perhaps other developers may want that knob too, they instead use such hacks, but they also don't support said hacks (because how could you, obviously keeping all private functions stable forever is silly and impossible)
"Car Pollution" may be a term for encompassing all the negative externalities caused by cars near people. Crash risk, reduced walkability and cyclability, noise pollution, increased sedentism, higher housing costs (due to parking minimums, car-friendly zoning,) etc.

For instance, I'd love to let my kid ride a bike to school. I don't because of cars (well, drivers, really). That's a form of pollution, in a sense.

A guide to using one-to-ones to level up your team leadership
I think it's best to look at individual facts and claims as they are, without reference to their attachment to some political side or movement. It frees your mind so you can more easily think for yourself.
Is that not the hallmark of someone with no ability to make sense of the world? or a liar, or someone who adds nothing of value to a situation? someone with no perspective or understanding of the facts?

i honestly prefer to read the opinion of two opposing parties that actually believe what they say and have assimilated the presented facts from a publicly stated perspective. (note the perspective can be that they "don't know what is right" - but they should at least have eliminated what they know is bull)

Many publication try to cover all aspects/angels - however this is very dangerous.. as it means that perspectives that even people who literally no one thinks are correct get represented. if we let two (or more) opposing biased journalists report on what they thought was relevant, the true nut jobs would never get a platform.

For example, BBC posts article about 5G causing covid, they have an expert and a non-expert on. many viewers/readers/listeners will assume that these two parties are equally possibly correct as you the expert journalist have presented them for my consideration.

*its also kind of a lie to pretend you don't have an opinion or perspective as its not actually possible. so by trying to to say you are presenting both arguments is sort of lying and trying to cover up your true beliefs no?
You're more accurately failing to miss hitting the ground while falling.

I suspect the crypto code you vendored used unsafe somewhere within it (whether to use `//go:linkname` or for other reasons), which would except it from the go1 compatibility promise.

> Lots of native UIs (especially from the past) tend to all have the same "grey boxes" look.

it's not "grey box", it's "uses the native theme of the user's desktop". e.g. I use strawberry music player, if I am on a computer with a dark theme it's dark.

Qt definitely allows slack-like look though if the developer opts-in to it - e.g. Telegram Desktop (https://cdn2.nextinpact.com/images/bd/news/163843.jpeg) is made with Qt Widgets.

Ripcord is another Qt app which is a discord / slack client made by a single guy, which goes more for the native look'n'feel : https://cancel.fm/ripcord/

(contrast this with slack needing dozens of developers and being at their third rewrite of the app because of performance issue :-))

Okay, i understand your point of view, and i agree on some points, but this still is not an argument against lockdowns.

My opinion is that lockdowns if you can't stop the spread should be locals, way more local than a state in the US, and i agree that global lockdowns are bad if you can't completely stop the epidemics.

a point for future argumentation: the food situation is okay in western europe (notwithstanding sever cut in animal protein consumption) , troubling in eastern europe (but this is not caused by the lockdown and can be offset by less animal feed), my company is hosting FNSEA/INSERM project doing food previsions so i'm well aware of this. No data on other countries sadly.

Also to nitpick:

>The impact of the deaths from delayed non-covid-19 medical treatments, mental issues, depression, hunger, economic distress, and so on is going to be enormous.

Yes, again, i have family working in hospital at Colmar, my cousin is the SMUR chief and his wife is an addiction doctor so i'm well aware of this, but during the height of the epidemic, almost no care were given to emergencies because they had to focus on patient. Since two weeks ago they can now take care of people suffering addiction, they did not redirect emergency operation to hospitals in Lyon (no free helicopter trips anymore). Also the diminution of road accident was also a really nice side-effect for them.

> No doctors that I know or work with personally believe the hype

They should have come to Colmar France or Bergame Italy and helped then.

The global response is not the best, but really you should talk to doctors in community with 300%+ excess death, their point of view might be a bit different.
