> Give me raw Win32 over Xlib/Athena/Motif any day of the week.

I share your sentimental attitude, but looking at the past 10+ years of "post-native" desktop UI development being done in Electron, at al, it really does look like the days of platform-specific proprietary UI frameworks and toolkits are coming to an end. Modern HTML+CSS is a far more expressive medium for usable application UI layouts. Trying to build a "responsive" UI in VB6 is essentially impossible, for example. Even from a user's perspective I'm glad that fixed-size, DPI-unaware dialogs are done-away with.

I can't complain that much though - I don't miss writing low-level Win32 message-pumps - nor being limited by GDI's horribly outdated nature (fun-fact: it's impossible to build applications that support 10-bit color with GDI despite GDI's built-in support for different bpp values, because GDI assumed 24bpp / 8bpc was enough for anyone forever).

There's now only a few things missing from HTML+CSS that would enable true native-like applications: borderless sub-windows (think: for context-menus that can extend beyond the parent web-browser's client area on your desktop) and native macOS main-menu support (which feels like an anachronism given the large mouse-movements needed with today's humongous desktop display sizes).
This view is not accurate. There is at least the European Court of Justice[1], and there are directives[2], which are laws written and enacted by the European Union, without any national act being necessary. Of course, the Court of Justice (sadly) doesn't have a European Constitution to rule on, but it does overturn national laws sometimes.

Yes, firewalls are very much required for IPv6 home networks.

Default global reachability is definitely not advisable, but having the option for individual devices and/or ports is just great, and doubly so with not having to resort to using non-standard ports.

I've always despised the pattern of having device 1's SSH exposed on port 22001, device 2 on 22002 etc., especially for protocols/applications not supporting SRV records.

And for many client to client use cases these days, port forwarding isn't even necessary: UDP hole punching is just a breeze with IPv6 and works consistently and reliably without any STUN/ICE guesswork, as long as UDP is not outright blocked.
You're asking the wrong crowd. Go talk to an Amish about this, you'll get a lot better answers.
If it were me, Kubernetes with Kubeless, so you can switch vendor or self-host relatively easily.
Here are some differences I was able to find:

- Uno uses the UWP API and XAML, whereas Avalonia uses a derivative of WPF

- Uno renders using the underlying platform, uses native controls whenever possible, particularly for input controls. Avalonia focuses on using its controls, not native ones (although support for native controls is WIP I think)

- Uno is based on WinUI, so in theory WinUI components should be usable in Uno apps

- Uno supports WebAssembly, but not Linux and MacOS natively

I don't think you can make an antivirus, firewall or similar with an UI framework anyway so you will have to go native regardless. Just stick to a native UI framework of your choice.
Heard recently that node.js doesn't suck.
Except the US has already had an opioid addiction problem. Hell, I can remember sitting in the chat of an MMO where a particular user was trying to convince everybody, including children, that heroin was safe.

And yes, cannabis use did go up with legalization. Those that have troubles with addictions are in trouble.

A simpler variation on this system is for the ballot keypair to be generated by the voter, and then the public key given to the registrar to "register" for the election. The registrar publishes all the registered ballots signed by their key. All the registrar does is ensure eligible voters submit a public key to register. This would require a voter to register in person or a national ID card that could be used to sign the ballot public key.

Indeed. It's rarely mentioned but eBay still offers the most streamlined selling experience and the most attractive selling prices, despite the 10% fee. To me it seems as if buyers on eBay are just as tired of time-wasting, long-shot negotiations as sellers - which is a good thing for both sides.
Maybe you are just concerned with Go, but there are similar instances in Java, Swift, Rust and maybe others too. Every big company sponsored language is like that.

> I like the language and the team are clearly talented but it is a pity that the project is quite so proprietary.

To me it seems like nature of things. People who are talented and in control are just not going to take any contribution come their way. For people outside if their thinking aligned with core team they will feel welcome and others will feel unwelcome due to high handedness of core team.
When Trump announced his first campaign in the quaint old days in 2015, I began cleansing my Twitter feed of anyone who switched from nerd stuff to politics. After a couple of months I was left with no one to follow, so I left Twitter entirely. Good riddance!
Last time I had problems with throwaway email domains being blacklisted, emailondeck.com worked for me, they also seem to regularly change domains.

> That's like saying that cleaning my house means moving the dirt to somebody else's house.

No, it's more like moving your cooking and garage wood shop work to someone else's house, taking the results home, and leaving the mess.

The dirtiest parts of the production chain required to sustain our lifestyle have largely been offshored, not only because of cheaper labor but because less developed or more totalitarian countries will tolerate the pollution.

Yes these things can be done cleaner, but that adds cost that people don't seem to be willing to pay.

Americans want all of: (1) high paying good jobs, (2) clean air and water, and (3) cheap manufactured shit. Sorry, but it's worse than a trichotomy. If you pick 3 you have to pass on 1 and 2.
I work on a project that was a ground up redesign, except for one small (but one of the most important features for our customers) that was ported to the new system. In the years since the team working on the ported part has been given time to make their code better. I have concluded that we could have in place refactored the old code to the new system and been fully functional the whole time for much less cost.

The new system is clearly better than the old one. If we had refactored in place we wouldn't have the same system as we have now. With the benefit of hindsight, I can now see some places in the new system that are not working as well as hoped and we are working on a plan to refactor those parts in place to something better.
Polluting taxes will promote spending on less polluting ways to manufacture. Or better quality goods that put out same amount of pollution, but you end up buying them not as frequently.

Let's take a hipothetical sweater as an example.

Now I buy a €20 sweater every 2 years. Let's say pollution tax would be €10. Suddenly it becomes €30 sweater and my €10/year sweater budget becomes €15/year. Instead, I could buy a nice sweater for €40 (+€10 tax) and wear it for 5 years. Now I'm back at original €10/year budget.

Economy wise, most of the chain is now just making nicer stuff that takes more resources. Aside from truck driver. Who is now moving twice as much sweaters. But €10 tax ideally would go to environment-improving projects and some drivers will make a living in those new sectors.
Today you learn people actually follow laws?
Thanks, that means a lot. :)
I sort of wonder why it isn't a content workflow in the background that triggers (say) a push to Fastly or Cloudflare to update a subset of cached content.

Or maybe it is that, and that still takes 200 lambdas/sec.
The advantages I see of this process are: Ease of storage, re-use of the coal plants, ease of fuel generation.

Methane seems nice for the re-use of gas fired plants. I do think its gaseous nature has more downsides than upsides on the other two factors.
There's also a gas-leak hazard with methane that doesn't exist here.

If the capital requirements are low enough, I could see a 40% efficient energy battery for smoothing out peaks being nicer than more complicated storage schemes.
>> And is this just for Fannie/Freddie-backed mortgages

Since 2008, the market for "Non-Agency loans -- i.e., not Fannie and not Freddie" has dwindled. Almost all loans originated at banks end up and Fannie/Freddie.

Small correction, Tang's classical algorithm considers only low rank matrices, HHL still is more efficient for higher rank matrices.
If you look for it, there is plenty of work to be found doing native GUI programming.

I have spent 2014 - 2018 doing Forms/WPF GUIs for life sciences labs, and at least for those customers I can assure they aren't going to switch to Electron, more likely Qt or WinUI when time comes.
Ah yes, didn't think about the use case of unsupported codecs. Though at that point I would argue it would be easier to convert the file with ffmpeg, etc, then to use a custom decoder in the browser.

> A typical oil tanker consumes a couple of hundreds of tons of bunker fuel per day to move a couple of thousands of tons of fuel around.

While it certainly makes sense to calculate for the entire journey, if you were talking about the "whole journey" why did you specify "per day"? It's hard to blame 'ximeng' for relying on your written comment rather than what you intended to say. :)

Because is MFC, another monstrosity that thank God it died, under a different hat. Microsoft are just re-polishing their old way, nothing remotely innovative there.
His product is, however, free and open-source, which follows that goal of avoiding centralization of free open-source software.
To be a bit more specific, it's charging citizens tax on money they earn from overseas when they live overseas i.e. nothing to do with the US at all. Your comment could be interpreted to mean just taxing income from US investments while living abroad, for example (which would be more reasonable, but still over-reaching). Taxing worldwide income is also done by a few other countries but only the IRS has the bizarre extra reach into overseas banking data (that I know of, at least).
This is only my personal opinion but considering how weak the European cloud market is compared to the US one, it wouldn't surprise me if European cloud providers would bend to police requests because they are already in a vulnerable position.

Brewery’s need high temperatures simply as a way to quickly heat a large volume of liquid. Most recipes involve boiling the mixture for around an hour, and you want to reach boiling quickly. If your heat pump is only at ~120C you would need a lot of surface area which makes cleaning difficult. On top of this reaching 120C via heat pump is already inefficient and the heat pump ends up being expensive compared to resistive heating.
Yes, but even best combustion engines have at very best 50% efficiency using direct transformation of thermal energy through gas expansion into mechanical energy. This involves numerous technologies, which better mix fuel and air, inject fuel directly, adjust timing of injection and exhaust following the RPMs, etc. Cars don't generate steam or use any other indirect method of transformation of thermal energy into mechanical energy, due to losses and impracticality (otherwise we would see other types of combustion engines). Burning of powder iron would not work with normal ICEs since powders are not liquids, they are abrasive and burn residuals are not gaseous (rust dust, which is even more abrasive). At very least this is non trivial engineering challenge. So 5-10 times lower specific energy of lithium batteries wins because of simplicity (and lower weight) of whole power-train (inverters, engines) and their high overall efficiency (90-95%). But indeed, on big ships (e.g. tankers), which can have a steam turbines, iron might be a feasible fuel (especially if using onboard solar power while cruising it is possible to recover part of it as a fuel again).
You're missing my point. You can have both full cross-platform AND native with Free Pascal/Lazarus. And making an AV is within its reach, technologically speaking.
> I think people, especially "hackers", just have short memories.

Given the lifelong stigma related to being a felon I would say society does not have a short memory.

In the case of Kim, he got away by leaving Germany, and by using the Internet as an international tool (ie. used Mega to do business world-wide, including in Germany).

If you (reader) are interested in learning more about Kim, last time I checked his Wikipedia page is a solid start.

If you're interested in experimentation, I recommend a series (say, 5 to 10) of mid-level-dosage psychedelic sessions, going in with the intent to study the nature of human consciousness and perception, keeping a journal of your experiences and thoughts. I would be surprised if you would still hold the opinions you've expressed here, but then mileage can vary quite significantly in some cases.

> Of course drugs feel good, that's why people do them.

Technically, that is only one of the reasons. Psychedelics seem to usually feel good, but from time to time you can get the exact opposite effect, sometimes in very large quantities. Yet, anecdotes seem to suggest that even after extremely unpleasant trips, most people seem to consider the experience valuable and continue to use them.
You also don’t get high from lead, it’s not a mind altering substance. Poor example.
Not only horrible unhealthy lifestyles, but horrible unhealthy codebases.

Could you elaborate on this?
Getting addresses at the big email providers anonymously is not easy. They ask for a mobile number if your IP isn't reputable enough (e.g. they're a Tor exit node).
There are frequently weird things happening with the Groovy rankings in the Tiobe index, and I doubt this is accurate. That said, purely as a language (ignoring the ecosystem) it's probably nicer than Python, and I say that as a primarily Python developer.
They have to do this because the legislature isn't providing stimulus or protection or funding Fannie directly.
This sort of approach just seems too compromised. I really like the Kotlin Multiplatform approach, where a shared core of business logic can be imported into platform-specific code. Then you get all the features you'd like (e.g. iOS 14's new App Clips) with no leaky abstraction layer getting in the way of them or causing per-platform bugs.

> I basically throw away everything in the generated .ly files except the notes. But saves a lot of effort regardless.

That seems like a good workflow to me for the Musescore→LilyPond direction, and speaks to the incompatibility in approaches that make a more seamless integration less likely: LilyPond, as a typesetting engine, is essentially incompatible with a WYSIWYG workflow.

I did a bunch of engraving (probably around 100 works) when I ran a music publishing business. Many of the scores were organ and/or choral works, which are quite complex to engrave (especially compared to solo instrumental pieces). My workflow was to get the notes, words, articulations, etc. into LilyPond with no formatting tweaks, see what it gave me, and then tweak from there. But the defaults provided by the engine were almost always a very good starting point.

I would think that the other direction would be much easier, though, since that's basically the same workflow as copying plain text into Microsoft Word (albeit music notation is more complex than plain text).
“They’ll have to tell us how they decide what information and products to recommend to us, and which ones to hide, and give us the ability to influence those decisions, instead of simply having them made for us.

I don't see how they will deal with such an amount of data.

Yup, just closed. Had to provide pay stubs at the start of the process, and then again at the end to prove I was still employed. They made it very clear that we would not have closed without that, and this wasn't even a gov backed loan.
This is basically the same thing that Android did with Java. I think it’s probably best to pick a productive language and solve the problem from there. Low level languages are rough to work with when compared to what you get from unity.
> the fact he was sentenced partly based on this the transgression I named, even if he was not charged with it

Do you have a source for that? IANAL but as far as I know that is not the way the US legal system caries out sentencing.
It might be applied for good and evil. Sometimes, a government does not want to give details because they want to reuse the method. Consider, for example, the FBI found a vulnerability in Tor, and does not want to disclose it yet does want to prosecute the perpetrator behind Silk Road.
Yup, self-replicating, self-renewing systems. Check out the 8 forms of capital. There might be more money being produced by "selling the content/dream" but money isn't the only thing these systems will output.

Eating your own produce means being a producer in the economy. It's not a hobby if it feeds you.

If you have hour long builds, it's often worth investing in remote execution (just remote caching can help too).

>Don’t do it in lieu of a mutual fund investment... Not for the “investment portfolio” your wealth advisor will track.

My dad bought a farm (UK) and it did far better as an investment than the wealth advisor "investment portfolio" in terms of capital appreciation. Also the UK has great tax breaks on farms. Just saying it can be a mistake to disregard that stuff.
We've been using Xamarin Forms on the (UWP) desktop for a few years now. It's pretty great. There are bugs yes, but so do all these magic cross-platform UI frameworks. They're investing heavily into MAUI to fix a lot of these things.
No its statistically impossible. Some areas had 109% voter turnout and that is literally impossible. It's evidence of voter corruption. Ballot stuffing. Mail in voting just took away our right to vote.

I know a lot of Twitter defenders say "oh just follow the right people" but you don't know they're the right people until you follow them and then when you have to unfollow or add more mute words the damage is already done and you're already thinking about the thing you didn't want to see.

I've muted around 3000 accounts and 200 words, which is a lot when you consider I don't even post on the platform I just read it and still my feed will have political hot takes slip through the cracks.

Twitter has the data, they could put a huge "Politics On/Off" switch in preferences but they choose not to because they know that forcing me to look at politics is both more profitable, ideologically I think they think controlling what political message I see is important too and they're fine with the tradeoff being mental health damage.
