Autodesk Fusion 360 uses Qt[1]. (It's 3D CAD modeling software like Solidworks/Inventor). Some screenshots of its UI : https://www.google.com/search?q=%22autodesk+fusion+360%22+ui...

CAD/CAM modeling software is resource intensive and users always complain about slow performance when manipulating big files so writing that type of app in Electron/Chrome/Javascript browser engine would be worse than native C++/Qt.

That said, another competitor Onshape is browser-based and yes, people do complain about its performance.

Some other well-known desktops using Qt are Autodesk Maya and Wolfram Mathematica.[2]

This is a nonsense argument. Police in the United States kill civilians at a rate more that 3x the rate of the next first world nation. In almost all cases of police acting with bias, those same officers are surrounded by other officers who do nothing. All of these bystanding officers are guilty of the same crime. These cases are just the ones that are brought to the national attention there are many more that are not. In very many of these cases several police body cameras just stopped working or were not on.

I am willing to bet your life experience is very different than those of minorities.

" If the guy had pulled out a gun and shot the cops in the head, we wouldn't have heard a thing about it"
Not sure what you base this on, I feel like to could be based on nothing but the narrative you are attempting spin. Is your argument that police should be more aggressive based on what could happen? Should police just gun everyone down because they may have a gun and pull it out and shoot them in the head?

In this country, police have godlike life or death power, every instance of police killings should be heavily scrutinized by neutral parties and stringent protocols put in place to prevent it with harsh criminal penalties for those that dont follow the rules. How you can just shrug and accept any cases of police brutality is beyond me.

There's a difference between having a variety of opinions and having a representative set of opinions. The diversity counselor is likely there to identify opportunities rather than to celebrate present successes.

Yes, and there are more developers on Github from Singapore now than a few years ago (in my perception).

I wonder what platform they used before but I don't know any of them personally. I only read their Github bios.
Ah, I stand corrected! Thanks for the info.
To be fair, I haven't used Electron. At some point, I did try using Essential Object's EO.WebBrowser component for .NET which used similar amounts of RAM. People complained about the RAM usage, not performance.

I've never had good experiences with templates. They usually have too many dependencies or too many custom tweaks. There's one I'm using on a project at work (was chosen before I joined) and it's a huge mishmash of Bootstrap/Material Design and other stuff. Proper mess.

Much easier to just choose a style framework like Bootstrap and build it yourself.

Regarding domains such as these, e.g programming.io or insurance.com, why would one want these? Aren't they too generic? Shouldn't domain names correspond more to the brand itself?

I don't know anyone who looks for things related to programming by going directly on programming.com.

If i was looking for insurance, I wouldn't just go on insurance.com either.

It can be absolutely wonderful if you're properly prepared though, just lying in your bed with a dim pink light on listening to Carbon Based Lifeforms or something, enjoying escaping your body for a while and floating around in an undefinable sea of warm nothingness.

However, it absolutely sounds like it could be hell if you're not prepared though - especially in police custody, but even just fighting against it in a party situation where you want to exist and be social could be problematic.

Even if this works for now, for you, you have only solved the problem for yourself. But the problem of privacy is a collective problem in society, so unless most people have privacy, you don’t have it, either.

This would be like commenting on censorship/non-free speech laws that you’d solve it for yourself by using Tor or some other anonymizing method. That would not solve the problem of a society which will lack free speech, and if a society did not have free speech, you would have problems, even if you’d manage to somehow get free speech for yourself.
Dunno about CBP, but I know the Canadian border agents are restricted to searching the phone only.

that's how the start page of Autodesk Civil3D's and InfraWork's are built (steps 2 and 3 only). Screenshot here: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/infraworks/learn-expl...

There's not much more to it than you can see, there's the BIM360 tab on the left that allows browsing through a cloud directory structure, and Civil3D also has a learning content tab.

Qt-based Software uses Qt WebEngine instead of the .NET stuff. The reason we're using HTML + JS is that we wanted to share the start page between different applications and HTML + JS is the lowest common denominator so to say, something that every team could integrate.

Running wires would be profoundly impractical. The home has stairs, and the whole layout is profoundly non-conducive to running wires. It'd be a massively long wire, running along floors, walls, and ceilings. Even if I decided to do that, I'm not the sole deciding party. Everyone at home needs to be happy, and I don't think anyone else would agree to that. I could do powerline or something, but I really think wifi is the way to go here.

The wifi is robust when it goes to make desktop in my bedroom, which has a PCI wireless card with a proper antenna. Where it fails are things like laptops. That's why I'm pretty sure a good mesh network would get us there.

If you use tinder, being ugly it makes things much harder. But there are other avenues where it doesn't matter as much. I've had very sweet friends though who struggled with those other avenues too because they worked in software (meeting few women at work) and were homebodies so didn't meet women in free time either. If they changed their entire life style around for the purpose of finding a woman maybe that could work, but it's a steep cost to pay without guaranteed success.

There's no angry mob on FB. The people that don't like the fact FB doesn't censor content left a long time ago.

since run_cmd! and run_fun! are returning result type, you can always do let _ = run_cmd!(ls nofile); to ignore single command error.

The “xxx || true” is for ignoring error within a group of commands, which is also very common in sh “set -e” mode. Without it, the group of commands need to be divided into at least 3 parts to still capture all possible command errors. I probably need to document this part with more details.

Personally I'm not looking to stop using their services completely but I am trying to make sure they can't cripple my life by locking me out of my Google account. The chance is low because I haven't personally released anything on any of their platforms or don't depend on any service of theirs for my livelihood, I'm just your normal passive Google user.

My plan:

- use a custom domain for my email (actually done this already)

- switch to Fastmail instead of Gmail

- update all services I have signed up for

- remove any important docs off of Google drive and either switch to sync.com (they have E2E encryption) or use syncthing

- I've already started using syncthing to sync my keepassxc DB between all my devices

- start monthly backups of the rest of my Google drive but still continue to use it (this includes all my Google Photos as well) onto a local NAS (which I have yet to buy, suggestions welcome)

- I've already switched to FireFox on both desktop and Android as my main browser but I still use Chrome as well, just more for work

I still plan on using Google products but I just want to make sure if they go away or if their algorithm mistakingly decides one day that I've violated something and locks me out without recourse that I'm not totally screwed.
How practical are these against modern weapons? Couldn't some modern explosives just destroy a fortress wall, thus rendering its inherent purpose of withstanding a siege impossible? It's an interesting sight and architecturally curious but I'm wondering what the purpose of such an effort is.
It's not that hard to work backward from the observed fatality rate and the death curve to the infection curve two weeks ago. That's basically all they're doing in this paper.

It does not suggest that everyone in new york caught the virus. Just that in the early days of the pandemic, when schools were open and no one knew about the virus, the model for growth was exponential with about a 25% increase in cases per day, the best estimate for the number of infections was 2^(14/3)*(1/1.5%)x deaths. Each death corresponded to about 2000 cases.
I don’t have enough faith in the legal system to try that one.

> Batteries are catching up.

Are they? The US consumes 11.5TWh of electricity daily. It's estimated that it needs 3 weeks if storage to get to 100% carbon free [1]. By comparison global battery production in 2019 was 300GWh [2]. Even if you factor in the fact that the curve of battery production is rising, it'd take decades to fullfil just the US's storage demands with batteries. There are other storage options like hydroelectricity and pumping air into mineshafts, but those are geographically limited.

> Nobody cares, human time has value, machine time is free, and it's 2020.

I disagree about types, it's great to actually know what you're dealing with and instantly know what operations you can do on objects without deep diving into layers of code and outdated documentation (the "ruby way"). Also I don't know if you have actual experience with CAD design but machine time is definitely not free there.

A declarative syntax seems better in theory but in practice if forces clunky syntax as soon as you are dealing with slightly deep hierarchies. Imperative syntax is just simpler, you can manipulate objects directly, pass them around to functions, the "object" paradigm makes sense here.
> Cambridge Analytica was able to gain access to large amounts of data that people had created while using Facebook as it is intended to be used.

That's debatable. CA either bent the rules or broke the rules to get a lot of that info. In many cases, CA was able to get not just the target's info, but all of their friends info too. Facebook was either incompetent or complicit in allowing this to happen.

> Even if no one was being tracked, the exploitation could have occurred.

What do you mean? How could CA work without any data?
I've googled up the bodycam videos of the incident [0]. I think, the police started acting the way they did, because the suspect didn't stop when the police clearly asked him to do so, and pushed one of the officers when they grabbed him.

It would be fair to call it racism, if there was another instance of a white suspect acting the same way, and getting treated differently.

By this point we don't have to assume it.

And it's not even up to the individual, racism is systemic in police, part of their everyday talk, their (real, not lip service) training discussions, their protocols, etc.

All those things seem like downsides to me too, and as a consequence, i've never owned an iPod.

But clearly, empirically, lots of people love them.

donw writes as if the appeal of an iPod is universal, but maybe this is just another example of their second point - MP3 player manufacturers before Apple had assumed that people want a tiny electronic gizmo that is an almost forgettable adjunct to their PCs, just a way to shovel music from hard disk to ear. Whereas it turned out there was a significant market for a player that was an artifact in its own right.
It can, but getting the credentials to the browser & storing them there isn't entirely simple. If you launch a browser process to a URL containing a token, an unprivileged local attacker can see it in the command line arguments (at least on some platforms) and copy it. That can be mitigated by launching the browser with a file:// URL which uses an HTML meta redirect to give the browser the token.

The obvious way to keep the browser authenticated is a session cookie. But cookies are shared between all ports on a domain, so a local attacker who tricks you into visiting another localhost service in the same browser can steal the cookie. localStorage doesn't have that issue, but it's not so convenient for authenticating requests.

The ACLU doesn't generate propaganda or take single sided political stances on matters. They defend all sides of the spectrum equally as it pertains to their rights.

If you consider it to be anti Trump propaganda, then in all likelihood it means Trump is violating rights. The ACLU is perhaps one of the most non-partisan organizations.

The fact that Pentagon leadership is almost completely white is only problematic insofar as the US continues to sport racial diversity within their borders. China has their own way of dealing with racial difficulties which aren't obviously compatible with democratic means.

I don't know why this is linking to the shortener instead. But here's the actual blog directly: https://turingbotsoftware.com/blog/neural-networks-are-overr...

There's a couple of odd decisions here as far as a discussion is concerned. First of all, the "hype" behind the current generation of DNNs is Tensorflow running on a GPU. The idea isn't necessarily to make an efficient model per say (small number of weights)... but instead to hack the model to run extremely efficiently on a GPU. (IE: Hundreds of convolutional layers, all fitting inside of GPU-Register space)

Under these very specific conditions: a Neural Network can perform 60+ TFlops (!!) worth of matrix multiplications on a $500 NVidia 2070 Super, hundreds of times faster than the most expensive CPUs on today's market.

Seeing an old-school "shallow" style neural network is a bit nostalgic. But... that's not what people are doing or getting hyped up about. The speed and efficiency of modern neural networks is designed for a different computer entirely, one that's cheaper to parallelize and cheaper to scale: the GPU.

I think the overall methodology of the post is sound, but it poorly represents what people are doing with neural nets. I was expecting a Tensorflow model but we got a 1x hidden layer model instead.
I'm thinking more of the user experience if you take over shortcuts people already use for their browser.
I ship a JavaFX app build with jlink. It includes many JDK modules beyond JavaFX, like `javafx.swing` and `jdk.unsupported` in order to access some features that unfortunately are not available in the standard modules, but even then the download size (zipped) is around 35MB, more like 65MB unzipped.

I would say that's pretty acceptable for a real app.
>It would be fair to call it racism, if there was another instance of a white suspect acting the same way, and getting treated differently.

What about if the white person in the same situation wasn't even asked to stop in the first place?

It's not just about "how police treats blacks vs whites who refuse to stop" but also about "how often police asks blacks vs whites to stop".
Modern JavaFX apps have a decent, almost native look so I think Java scene has improved in this regard in recent years.

Anti-antifa symbols are considered general hate symbols by ACLU:

https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/anti-a...

Fact: Antifa is a para-military terrorist organization, active in places where destruction took place, such as Portland.

Symbols to oppose terrorist organizations like Antifa that act like fascists and destroy livelihoods of hard-working people are not hate.

ACLU is biased.
ACLU is propaganda.

So, yeah, the metrics are off.

If your counter-argument is "yeah, but US has more crime too", then maybe think long and hard if your whole legal system, approach to crime, society goals, etc, are justified then....
