keep in mind that Qt Creator comes with a full clang for its C++ code model which is already 40-50 megabytes at least ; no decent C++ IDE can skip that.

Regarding the Qt SDK size, what can take gigabytes is installing it for all android & iOS ... ABIs / versions.

for a fast SDK installation experience, I recommend aqtinstall:

$ pip install aqtinstall
$ time python -m aqt install 5.15.0 linux desktop -O ~/Qt/
10,43s user 2,14s system 153% cpu 8,213 total
$ du -csh ~/Qt/5.15.0
592M 5.15.0

(but really, just install e.g. qtbase5-dev on Debian systems has 99.9% of what is needed for most GUI desktop apps and is ~13 megabytes: https://packages.debian.org/sid/qtbase5-dev what takes space is 3D engines, webviews, multimedia apis, etc... but an awful amount of apps don't need those)
Or AVIF
My understanding is that it has more to do with the general direction of observability. The agent code was always open, we frequently accepted PRs from the community when I was on their Ruby agent team, but they didn't use an open source license.

We're public so I probably shouldn't guess too much about the motivations beyond the explosion of interest in observability/kubernetes/cncf, but I do know there has been support for open sourcing these for a long time within the company and I'm glad to see it finally happen.

>I'd want really strong evidence and strong reasons to justify government intervention just to push that number a little higher.

Why?

Look I know we've all heard the Friedman quip about temporary government programs, but that refers to normal situations. It's one thing when a program might drop off the political radar and outlast its mandate by decades, but in the case of COVID-19, there is absolutely no way on Earth, at all, that people could just forget that it happened. If the COVID-19 pandemic were a war, it would already rank among the 50 deadliest ever.

Our rights are not devalued in the long term by rapid action in a pandemic which, by the best available estimates, could kill over a million Americans if left to run unchecked. They are not devalued in the long term because it is always going to be easy for people to know whether we are experiencing this kind of emergency. The loudest deniers on Facebook are not representative of the population: most Americans do recognize the threat, despite one of the largest disinformation campaigns in human history.

So what if there's a small chance we might be too strict about masks? It's not a large injustice, and it's not a slippery slope.
It's a feature, just one you're apparently not interested in.
The goal is data collection.

ADT is probably not going to get Google's data. They are limited in what they know about their customers. How much data does ADT have in comparison to Google?

Google OTOH is going to get access to about 6.5 million ADT customers. Needless to say, Google already has acquired a lot of data on a lot of people, including those ADT customers.

If what ADT knows is now known by Google, then it is not just the details of a security system that might be disclosed by one entity, but the details of the people inside the building.

The risk (i.e., the potential damage) of undesired disclosure is greater when one entity has access to "all" data versus when the data is spread amongst multiple entities.
This is really cool. Nit: I find it really unintuitive that 100% is on the left of the slider. "Volume" knobs and sliders are almost always the other way around in my experience.

Yes, it does get much better accuracy. My company is developing temp screening/survey answering entry kiosks, we've put a lot of effort into getting higher accuracy than the generic imported kiosks.

Forehead temperature is highly variable with ambient conditions - sweating while walking in reduces surface temperature, but sitting in a low-humidity air-conditioned car with your face in the morning sun increases it. After as little as 60 seconds in a conditioned space, though, skin surface temp is pretty much normalized.

The camera scanners are using Flir microbolometers, which have a huge amount of noise/calibration variation, even on a per-pixel basis. The handheld guns and kiosks which require alignment are using thermopile sensors work much better for employee check-in, they have like a 1:10 spot size so you need to be within a foot or so of the sensor and intentionally align yourself with the sensor. The reading takes about 2 seconds to align and measure, which is fine for clocking in but, as you said, doesn't work in a crowd.
Vulgarization is not valued in academia.
Connect to the internet is another point of fail that's likely to increase your support calls.

Apple's leg-work on the lead up to this migration is really standing out here. By deprecating 32 bit app support over the past ~2 years, Apple only needs to emulate 64 bit x86. For Microsoft, 32 bit support is still more important than 64 bit support, but big chunks of Windows applications want 64 bit support as well. Microsoft has had one foot on both sides of the 32/64 bit divide for years and it's making this migration a lot tougher.
I'm very, very pro-mask; I'm optimistic that getting people to wear them could drop R0 << 1 and bring an end to this. That said, it seems unethical to me to mandate (read: enforce with fine/imprisonment) it for the purpose of ... what sounds like virtue signaling?
Sure you can use Big O, just look at it as the expected runtime. For example, QuickSort is O(n^2) in worst case, but expected O(nlog(n)).

Trump says TikTok sale can go through but only if the US gets a cut
Tiktok is blocked in China and can only be accessed using VPN. Of course there are still people who do that, but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to identify them and verify their nationality. So you'll have to remain unconvinced.

Edit: Actually, if you could find that kind of video on another platform, it would be possible to upload it on TikTok and see what happens.

Thanks for digging. I agree that the protests are far more divisive than the event itself.
Reminds me of a similar setup I had in the basement of the apartment building I lived in: there were groups of valves on the water pipes running along the ceiling, and on each handle there was a tag with apartment numbers written on it.

This was essentially use-case organization, because the use case was, "in case of a leak upstream of your in-apartment valve, go to the basement, find the valve that controls the line you're attached to, shut it off, and go inform other people on the same line what's going on".

Didip! Long time - I'm back at NR as of a month ago after 5yrs away.

We did have all the agent code out in the open but it was more "source available" than it was open source. You could see what was happening but not build on it and use it for your own nefarious purposes as you can now.
I ended up making this jump.

What I've found works best for me:

- In the car I have a Bluetooth audio adapter for the aux in my older car. Works great.

- In my backpack I have a pocket where I always leave a headphone adapter. I always put it back if I use it.

- Bluetooth to Aux adapter with a small battery. Costs like $20 on Amazon and also lives in my backpack. Has saved my ass many times.

Beyond that, I just own more Bluetooth headphones and I keep a few space headphone adapters attached to headphones I use occasionally.

It sucks to spend $50 on adapters and another $40 on Bluetooth adapters. But it is very usable now and I don't ever "miss" my headphone jack now that I have the proper infrastructure setup.

The microphone has been at the bottom side of the phone since they looked like https://www.ooma.com/wp-content/uploads/blog/2019/02/telepho... ?

My first thought was also that the phone was upside down though, and that the line was where they're usually a thing for speakers.

I wonder if they moved to different solutions when they started bringing in subbies?

for a counter example. I'm currently getting a small house built and the near by land developers are mostly using the SAAS solution I worked at to manage the construction\design of each subdivision.
New York Times ordered 59M publishing assets on a laptop using Go
FWIW we used Airtable to power one of our sites (https://labs.codeday.org/) and it was a huge mistake. Airtable has at least one hour-long downtime every month during the middle of the workday.

(The API was also really awful, e.g. bool is `true`/`undefined`, never false, you can't query table schemas, etc. But I imagine this app abstracts some of that away.)

Anyway I can't imagine building an app on top of Airtable, of the options I would 100% choose Google Sheets.

" if you're serious, then it's because of Pavel Durov's personal wealth."

Any source on the amount?

"if you're unfamiliar Pavel Durov created VK"

Ah I see, what's the business VK is on? How did Pavel Durov make his money? Did he spy on VK users and display targeted ads like Facebook does? If, is it a good idea to trust him after that?

"went into self-imposed exile"

He returned to Russia two months later once the (possibly bogus) charges on driving over police officer's foot were dropped.

"something in the amount of 3 billion USD."

Source?

"in hopes of eventually making himself famous for being a free speech advocate"

So he set up to create a service that

* by default allows the server to see the content of all chats,

* that allows the server to always see the content of all group chats, and

* that allows the server to always see the content of all Windows/Linux desktop clients.

It's OK to be for free speech, but achieving that requires privacy for the activists, and Telegram is anything but.

"then using that fame to make money in other areas."

Are these business dealings public knowledge? Does Telegram publish anything regarding their business. I'd like to see if the records show that he indeed is not selling user data behind everyone's backs.

"his attempts at using telegram as a platform to gain wealth is also failing"

My concern is mainly, when there's so much valuable data that gets accumulated daily, what if he changes Telegram's business model once he runs out of money and it's time to cash in.

It is really interesting that major open source initiatives are now being ran by corporations. I feel this will be open source in the sense that it is being developed in the open, but not in the sense that they will foster an environment of community contribution.

For example, the working group for vulnerability disclosure includes a lot of corporate players, and from what I can tell, not a single security researcher. Only one side of the disclosure process is represented in that working group.

Realizing how allergic major companies are to GPL code really creates some skepticism when they speak about embracing open source.
Yes I agree that "draft" / "published" as a paradigm maps users' intentions better than "saved" / "unsaved", which is more like an implementation detail borrowed from apps exposing raw filesystem concepts.

Where do you live where this is government mandated?
The lack of nuance is a feature and not a bug. It takes the decision out of the individual's hands since people can have any number of reasons ranging from valid to incomprehensible for why their specific activity doesn't require a mask. We have already tried leaving it up to individuals for the last 4+ months and that clearly hasn't worked. The choices going forward appear to either be to put stronger precautions in place until there is a vaccine or continue to let tens or hundreds of thousands of more people die unnecessarily so we can be slightly more comfortable while outside our homes.

I'd also take issue with the notion that 2D UI frameworks based on game engines are more performant than their alternatives, because game engines are optimized for 3D graphics and often struggle with performance once your UI state becomes reasonable large.

Kinda shameful to boast about a project designed to make it easier for 'authorities' to displace people who are just trying to 'live' some kind of existence.

Please don't justify it with weird edge-cases like 'oh but we can detect drug cartels' or some BS.. This is about forcing people to conform to a designed western capitalist modality that expects humans to be happy living as battery-farmed chickens..

* get an education so you start out life with an 80k debt so you:
* get a high tax paying job so you can aspire to:
* get a home mortgage for the next 45 years with a bank so you:
* support the system that funnels money and power to the few at the top.

This project is just another small rivet in the armor of that system which you should be fighting to de-construct not re-enforce.. wake up and realise you're building your own cage.

If I buy land to start a community on it of like-minded people who don't feel comfortable supporting an oppressive system that creates injustice then that's my business, when are software engineers going to realise we have an OBLIGATION to HUMANITY to refuse to create the chains that bind us to the wheel of oppression??

> I'm also surprised that the Awesomebar-/Sublime Text-/VSCode-style command palette hasn't by now become a ubiquitous feature of user interfaces.

This makes me think of programs on the Mac[1] like Alfred and LaunchBar. While they're usually called "application launchers," in a lot of ways they're more like simple, always-available command lines. I use Alfred for launching nearly every program, but also use it to do various web searches (like "g foobar" for Google[2], "wp foobar" for Wikipedia, etc.), perform simple calculations ("=123+(45/67)"), and even actions like converting Markdown on the clipboard to BBCode or creating Jira URLs for pasting into GitHub PRs. The Mac's native Spotlight has evolved to do some of these tasks, but Alfred, Launchbar, et. al. are more powerful in part because they're more explicit -- Spotlight makes educated guesses about what you're searching for, but Alfred operates more like, well, a command line.

[1] I presume programs like these exist for Linux, too, although I haven't found any when I've gone looking. The lack of one would actually be a pretty major stumbling block for me for platform switching. (As would the lack of anything quite like Keyboard Maestro, but that's a different topic, and maybe that's out there, too!)

Yeah not too bad - a few hundred for reputable ones. Need to keep it far enough away from the filter, obviously, or risk damage over time (or just change out the filter more frequently).

I liken using UV-C (potentially) and a good filter as a defense-in-depth technique, just like masks, social distancing, sanitizer, temp checks (all which do very little on their own, but in the aggregate help).

Unfortunately, FLTK falls short in at least one important way: it doesn't implement accessibility, e.g. for blind users with screen readers. Godot and immediate-mode GUIs have the same problem.

If I'm not mistaken, the most lightweight cross-platform UI toolkit that draws its own widgets (unlike wx or SWT) and implements accessibility is sciter [1]. It's a good thing the antivirus vendors (who seem to be sciter's biggest customers) want to sell to governments.
