Qt is an application framework – it's much more than just a "GUI toolkit".

Tk is nice, but also small and very limited in scope, which is great for some use cases, but less so for others. It's like the difference between a desktop environment like GNOME or KDE, which do much more than just "manage windows", and a more basic window manager like i3 or the countless others that are out there.
I only started reading papers this year and have only read two: An empirical study of Rust (found this on 4chan of all places), and a study of local-first software (found right here on HN). The latter truly got me thinking about the cloud services I was using and how your work really isn't yours if it's stored faraway on some cloud servers and not on your local machine. The introduction to Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) was excellent as well.
Generation doesn't have to be near consumption. If weather is bad in the PNW power can be move to it from other parts of the country. Texas does this with massive transmission lines that where built crisscrossing the state in the late 90's and 00's. These transmission lines allowed for a massive expansion in wind and solar without large subsidies because the electricity could be moved to wear it was needed and sold on the open market (the state operates an real time auction market to balance to help balance supply and demand). Today the state has more wind and solar than coal. Something like 30-40% of the states electricity comes from renewables.
So you have to put the render part at the bottom? Most JSON serializers don't guarantee order in an object, so are you constructing this JSON by hand?
If I could go back in time, I'd go to 1970 and work a job and save up money to invest in Apple and buy two Apple 1's and have WOZ sign them both. I'd also invest in Apple stock as soon as it goes public.
I had an interesting experience along these lines. I was in a headphone shop because my old $200 Seinnheiser headphones had fallen apart after many years of use.

I got to compare many different headphones from different manufacturers back-to-back, using my own music that I was familiar with.

Under $200 = garbage.

$200 - $500 = generally good and largely indistinguishable apart from the comfort of the headband and the padding.

I was about to buy a pair of HD600 headphones when for a lark I decided to try the "out of my budget" HD800 headphones. They were $1,500 at the time.

It was like night & day. I couldn't believe it. All other headphones rendered the sound of a double bass in a classical piece as a monotonal "thrum-thrum-thrum". With the HD800 it was like you were standing next to the thing. Every note, even the lowest, clearly distinct. You could hear the scrape of the bow across the strings. In orchestral pieces you could hear every intake of breath and every ruffled page.

Head drooping in defeat, I handed over my credit card and bought it right there. I was ruined. There is no going back.

I ended up re-listening to my entire music collection and re-watching every movie that had decent sound mastering. Some songs made the hair stand up on my arms, they gave me a sense of tingly pleasure they never had before.

Totally worth it, at least for me.
We had the same issues at Amazon. We all had the lowest end spec of the 2019 13" macbook pro (issued in 2019), even SDE3 level engineers. It fucking sucked.
I never do either, until I grab a pair of in ear headphones and recoil in horror at the globs of ear wax that they yank out. I have actually killed apple earbuds like that from clogging up the mesh barriers with wax. Regular maintenance keeps that from happening.
As I recall there was an announcement of packing up shop ahead of Katrina, followed by a few weeks of dwindling hope.
I’m not in the US either. I’ve clocked at least 100 dives. I stopped counting at 70. I assume you’re somewhat familiar with the conditions of your insurance. If you’re diving regularly without insurance, I’d suggest you go get some.

Doing wreck dives at 60m is not like recreational diving. Different air mix to get those depths and stay for any significant period. The guys I’ve talked to, leave extra tanks at the half way point for deco. Otherwise you won’t have enough air.

Compared to ‘recreational’ diving: call up your buddy, check conditions, get tanks, walk off the beach. And you are supposed to stay within your no-decompression limits. If something goes wrong, in theory you can surface immediately. The deco stop is a precaution only.

West Texas has a lot of empty desert or near-desert land, not a lot of people, and not a lot of industry. But it does have a lot of wind.

Houston is a big city. Its metro population is about 7 million. And Houston has a lot of industry, probably the most industrial of the major Texas cities.

Texas is big, and depending on what part of West Texas you're talking about, Houston is pretty far away from it. For example, it's a 350 mile (~550km) drive between Abilene and Houston, and it's a 600 mile (~950km) drive between Amarillo and Houston.

After lots of wind generation got built in West Texas, they had to add more power lines to bring the power to the more populated part of the state. And they did, and it worked.

> What's the point in retaining engineers if you're just going to pay them to work on something without expected ROI?

I'm not claiming that Google or other companies often do this, but just to play Devil's advocate, here are reasons why they might:

* Prevents them from going to the competition.

* Uses their prestige to attract or retain other developers.

* Keeps them "on retainer" in case a hard problem that needs their rare skills appears in the future.

When I worked at EA, we had a star engineer that spent, like, 75% of his time totally dicking around on whatever he felt like. But when say, it was a month away from FIFA's ship date and they couldn't get the game to run faster than 5 FPS, they would call him in. He would work some magic, the game would ship on time and with adequate perf, and he'd return to goofing off. Well worth EA's money to keep him on salary.

Nice. Love the Bengio Bros. Yoshua especially was right there with Geoffrey Hinton, Yann LeCun, Andrew Ng as the earliest pioneers of successful deep learning, for over 20 years. (While most technologists were crazy about this thing called the World Wide Web in the late 1990's, these guys were shaping brain-inspired AI algorithms and representations.)

Anyways, one of the papers by Yoshua that was really influential on my master's thesis was published in 2009, has received 8956 citations to date on Google Scholar, called "Learning Deep Architectures for AI". For many young researchers, even though this paper pre-dates much of the hyped architectures of the current era, I would still recommend it for its timeless views on deep representations as equivalent to architectural units of learning and knowledge, including its breakdown of deep networks as compositions of functions.

Another open source macOS one to consider.
The native libraries just need to be included onto the fs. Every interpreted language out there is like this. Also, the gem install step can be done outside of the unikernel and then have the artifacts loaded on.

We have current ESXi VSphere support today - both for 6.7 and 7.0. There are some docs here: https://nanovms.gitbook.io/ops/vsphere .

When you deploy a unikernel it's packaged as a virtual machine so it's not like you are deploying a linux vm and then running this on top - you are deploying your application as it's own isolated vm and it is hardware accelerated. Without hardware acceleration the "cloud" wouldn't exist, however instead of running 2 layers of linux (hypervisor and guest) we recognize that we're virtualized and that we don't need an extra full blown linux running as guest.

Well, yeah, the US spent the last 50 years (e.g. "WTF Happened In 1971?"[0]) widening the income gap and doing everything possible to keep their "undesirable" ethnic groups as poor as possible. When the bottom falls out, the only people left standing will be the people who would have been able to use the nice water fountain back when America was "Great", and anyone suffering will get individual blame for their lack of individual bootstraps.

Mix in ML to identifying food for their nutritional content, calorie intake monitor and future projection on your health if you stay on this course.

There is an old adage; You are what you eat.

I'm in the process of doing just this. I've taken pictures of every meal/snack whatever I ingested since 2005. I have over 15,000 images of food. Now that ML and computing power has come into play. I want to create this exact thing. Then correlate with my health. I want to see if there are cause and effect to my eating.

Furthermore, I have my exercise history as well.

I am what you call: Quantify Self.

Another use-case for your ask is cataloging or inventory. Two of the hardest and only human capable things. Imagine not a neatly piled but a large heap of things. How does an AI/robot make sense of it? What is it? How many are there? Is it heavy? Moveable? etc...

Your ask is very large open ended question.

What exactly is your endgame?

> quite convenient using Google Photos too

Googl already has too much of me. The last thing I want is all of my pictures stored, triaged, scanned, archived. I'm pretty darn sure they are using them as a great ML dataset. The images you get off of general searches are junk compared to the goldmine of a personally curated gallery. Big difference.

Actually, that quote is "musicians" fighting over share. In this case, a songwriters' group (Ivors Academy) is complaining that performers (via labels) get too big of a share. This fight has been going on since recorded music began and has nothing to do with Spotify or any recent development.
It's not a bubble if its driven by revenues and not just high interest debt lol.

Also you might be interested in PE ratios alongside interest rates. You are so close to putting it together on your own, but keep detouring into permabear territory.

As you point out, there is more money in the system and less places for it to go, so not only is the consumption piling into these services, people are also willing to pay a higher ratio for the shares.

This means that PE ratios in isolation cannot tell you anything, a PE ratio to interest rate ratio will tell you everything. As long as confidence isn't shaken in the currency, more of that currency in the system will push interest rates lower. So all you are seeing is where the money goes.
It depends what you're doing with the JavaScript. This is like saying "C kills performance" because you found one slow C program. JavaScript can actually improve performance in quite a few conditions (even on lower end devices) by preventing full page reloads and such, which adds more overhead in the network, HTML parsing, etc.
What I don't get is this:

You build software, you ship it on an OS so it works, cool, this makes sense (I assume you need hardware and VM support, not just VM).

Why would you accept additional risk on the OS if you can easily reduce the risk, and ultimate cost, by going with an OS that has vendor support written into the actual contract? RHEL is 11-13 years total, Windows is... I'm guessing my grandkids will be using some form of Windows 10. CentOS is, and always was a community "best effort", with some serious delays occasionally (not often, but it happened).

A RHEL server license starts at $349, I have to assume that's at least an order of magnitude (or two or three) less than the cost of your software based on the technologies involved (sounds enterprise-solutiony). In other words a rounding error overall.

In my mind, what Viktor Frankl did while imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps falls under the same category of “mind clearing” activities such as traditional meditation and modern mindfulness. If those helped him to survive the Holocaust, I sure think that they can also help us survive a pandemic.

It's the opposite. A good SRE can build a system faster and cheaper in the cloud, and only self-host the things that make sense.

You need a half dozen engineers working full time to replicate what the cloud gives you, and still buy the hardware ahead of time. That's 6 months of straight project development with 6 people and capital for a rack full of gear.. that's like $1.5M USD outlay for one year. For close to feature parity for core services I mean, nobody would normally build all that just to put a crappy web app online.

OR hire one SRE to set up a cloud stack in two months and only pay for what you use, $200K for one year or $100K for a short contact.

Fantastic, I will try something out against the Vsphere. So I guess I'm creating a VM template with this, similar to what I'd do with Packer, and then theoretically I should still be able to use Terraform to spin one up.

What about passing run-time configuration? Is that all supposed to just be built-in, or is a well-designed program expected to reach out and get it somehow (e.g. from Consul)? Am I supposed to bake in keys to give it access to things?

> I'm waiting to see how Copperspice (A Qt fork that cuts off support for older C++ versions and uses STL and UTF-8 aggressively) turns out

It's been around for 7 years and is maintained by two people as opposed to a publicly traded corporation (Qt) with hundreds of employees. It has already turned out.

There is no alternative to Qt. It is the best in its class.

But you don't need it. You don't need Electron either. Just build a .NET application for Windows, a SwiftUI one for Mac, and a ncurses one for Linux. They can all share the same business logic code (if it has any), either via C ABI, IPC, or RPC. Your application will always be at the bleeding edge with the latest security patches and accessibility this way, as opposed to waiting for the next Qt/Electron release which is guaranteed to be later than the OS bugfix. Imagine if desktop OSes release, in addition to dark mode, a pink mode. Do you want your application to stand out as the ugly duckling?
It's not that insurmountable. Each release, large parts of the kernel get rewritten anyway. Lots of kernel code is copyrighted by companies now.

So yes, it will probably take too much time and effort and give too little benefit to be practical, but impossible? No.

If they are dead, their copyrights are held by someone else now who can be asked.

Find your nearest “audiologist” or “audiology center” and ask them if they do “ear impressions for custom-fit in-ear monitors and earplugs”.

Do not buy headphones until you’ve discussed your product choice with them. You may find that they can be fit correctly but will have a huge unsightly bulge outside the ear canal. They will usually have Opinions, as it’s their job. Know your price range.

There’s no other way to do it but to go somewhere in person and have a cup of liquid goo poured into each of your ears by a trained professional. (Do not try this at home, etc.) They will send the molds off to be fit into your earphones, which either you’ll buy new from them or turn over to the audiologist at impressions time.

You can also use the mold to produce musician’s earplugs that are transparent and have swappable filters that have different dB reductions. I use my -9dB pair for parties so I can hear better.

I assume they keep the mold on file for a little while, in case of fit issues or whatever, but it’s been a decade since I last went so I don’t imagine they still have it. (Who knows, though!)

When you have them in hand, turn your volume way down and be very, very careful with them. You are sticking these deeper into your ear than headphones have ever gone before. You can go deaf very rapidly. If your phone has a volume limit setting, enable it and turn it the lowest point (75dB on iPhone). If you’re constantly wishing it was louder after a day or two, raise it 5dB and wait a bit longer. The audiologist will make scary comments about risk of hearing damage, and give you a hearing test to see how you’re doing beforehand. Listen to them. It’s deadly serious stuff.
In a democracy we are ruled by consent. I fundamentally oppose secrecy for those in power. We are not afforded such privilege as citizens. There are existing laws, that would severely punish anyone harassing a judge. But a judge is part of the community. Judges need to be accountable to the communities they rule in. If they do something that would result in a violent mob showing up at their house.
Like for example, overturn an election unjustly. Then we are already down the path of severe political instability.
The machinery of the state is set up to protect judges. If judges are being tracked down and killed in large numbers. Then its a sure sign that the state is failing too. In such a case, I would rather that the state fail quickly.

Having secret judges, secret tribunals, or anonymous judges, would only make oppression easier. This is what dictatorships do.

And your logic would equally fit any politician, as most have received death threats. And some have been harassed at their homes.
Alipay is one the most interesting pieces of technology to come from China.

People in the West ridicule it, because they already have their own credit card systems.

But think about it. With just a picture of a QR code, anyone can transfer money to you, via their smartphone.

No more need for a fancy credit card swipe terminal. No more credit card insecurity. No need to use the credit card chip which often doesn’t work.

No more worrying that some company got hacked, and your credit card number is floating around out there, just waiting to be harvested, and your identity stolen.

Since it was you, that authorized the purchase with your smartphone. And you get immediate confirmation of the transaction.

The processing technology of Alipay got offloaded to your smartphone, and the internet, specifically 4G cellular technology.

And plus, the credit card companies, Visa and MasterCard, are just leaches anyways. They get to charge an insane 20% APR, which is far higher than mobsters can charge, and the credit card companies are legally allowed to do so. If the mafia was smart, then they should just start a credit card company, instead of breaking some poor schmuck’s arm for repayment.

Credit Card companies are the epitome of a debt trap. Once you get stuck, you forever fall into their quicksand, with fees, late fees, over draft fees, etc. And here is the screwed up thing: all of it is legal. It’s absurd that Congress allows these credit card companies to exist. Oh wait, who am I kidding. The bozos in Congress own stocks in these credit card companies, that’s why they allow this highway robbery to exist legally.

The fact that credit card companies charge 3%, just means that everything is 3% higher.

The cash spenders are subsidizing the credit card swipers. And the cash back rewards programs are a complete gimmick. Since you’re totally paying for the rewards itself just from the increased 3% fee on everything.

Anyways, the sooner that something else comes along to eliminate these dinosaur credit card companies, the better off the world will be. But who am I kidding? That’ll never happen.
