A lot of the hostility on this thread is coming from people who are not actually a part of the LiveCode community. People love to sprout opinions about stuff they don't use, are not invested in, and don't have any familiarity with those involved in it.

If people commenting here cared to check on the LiveCode mailing lists, they'd see that the overall sentiment is positive regarding this change. That people value having LiveCode Ltd with more resources (aka money to work on stuff) more than they value having the GPL engine around.

No one is treating this as a scummy or bad move, people are often saying "we gave this a good try it is time to pivot".
I don't buy this line of reasoning.

It doesn't explain the vast majority of ads. Most ads you've seen are for products you - and everybody else - knows about already. They aren't informing anybody of anything.

We also don't see this behavior in advertising strategy. It's not an irregular campaign trying to reach unique individuals. Instead, you tend to see the same ad over, and over, and over in a short period of time. Companies are often extremely transparent about this kind of behavior.

This is not anything like the behavior you would find if ads were at all attempting to merely inform people about a product.
On a 1080p 14” with native resolution, the ideal terminal font size for me would be about 8px. There’s a significant difference in ergonomics around that range. I have two 14” Thinkpads and my eyes feel strained a lot faster on the 1080p compared to the 1440 if I’d have the same effective font size. The result is I can fit the content I want on the 1440 but not on the 1080p without eye-strain.

There’s really no magic way to make fonts as readable with 8px as with 12px.

Yeah, but who's going to pay for that development? Especially since the targets are Windows and MacOS.
Allotments in England are different, more like an open field broken up into 50ft x 50ft squares specifically for hobbyist gardeners, and often you’re not allowed to have any buildings on them at all.

I think all of the issues in #2 might have been resolved with changes to ref keyword and ref-structs added, both in C# 7.
Yeah they’re fine when you have 64GB of RAM and 4TB desktop.
The default configuration for majority of the laptops are
8GB Ram and 256Gb SSD.
Electron is a first world mess inflicted on everyone, not everyone is running a top notch desktop.
And running 4 apps is not the goal of using a PC.
Erlang was not designed for concurrency on a single core, it was designed for parallelism on multiple machines. Because of this, erlang processes do not share memory and SMP-level parallelism was easy to add.
I am not in a full time development role anymore, but even when I was I never felt the need to drive my WPM numbers to the extreme.. So the fractions of a second it may save was not a consideration.

I find the 10-key to be more accurate and faster for me. My muscle memory is numbers are entered with my right hand...
> We need to pay more people to do these jobs, not rely on exploiting people from poorer nations to fill the gaps.

Agreed, but giving our consumption rate, it's going to be hard to do that and be competitive with a global market. Australia can pull that off because they are swimming in wealth right now, have a lot of land, and also because they have very favorable import rules they can maintain because the country produces a lot of basic goods. I doubt the UK can pull it off, but I'm not an oracle so let's see.

> Wages are rising at their fastest rate on record.

In Australia, yes. Again they have plenty of resources to go by right now. In the UK, I'm not sure how sustainable it would be. But I hope it will. Maybe the UK will prove to be the poster child for a successful economy after closing your borders. I doubt it, usually trades needs flexible borders, but I could be dead wrong, I'm not an economist.

> Working holiday visas require that you must work in service or agriculture, and the will kick you out when your time is up

Yes, but right now you can't even do that in the UK.

> I guess I can't disagree with your personal experiences at University, but I do suspect a lot of it comes down to the institution you attended. I studied at two universities in the UK and found them both academically rigourous.

It's not just universities, though. Just chatting with people of my age kinda scared me. They didn't handle basic geography, couldn't read subtext and were very sensitive to pandering. All in all, they had a very narrow-minded point of view compared to their belgium, german or irish counter parts. Of course, as soon as you reach business London, this changes. But that's true everywhere in the world.

And although I understand arguments in favor of brexit, it's really hard to take the average brexiter seriously. They are the facebook anti-vax of politics, and I suspect their education system didn't help with that.
You're definitely right technically.

The problem is that Europe is split up into dozens of countries with very somewhat different values and cultures, so whenever you say "In Europe X happens", then you can always invoke some version of your argument.

Europe is France, Netherlands, Albania, Moldova. All of these are very different in various statistics.
Unfortunately your policy, in a small way, perpetuates this ‘sub-optimal’ efficiency by obscuring the true cost of your work from your employer.

Oh, thank you for that. I’m really happy to hear there’s been movement on this front. Hopefully Unity will get there eventually - I suspect their own solutions to some of these problems might be holding back adoption of more recent .Net versions, at this point.
Unlike sugar¹, salt is also necessary in small quantities. It is also quite useful/needed even in moderate quantities (say 1/10 - 1/2 teaspoon) in cases where it got flushed out.

For example, you eat too much sugar/saccharides/food for body to process, blood sugar rises and salt is flushed to keep osmotic pressure. After a couple of hours, sugar is spent, you get cravings from falling (normalizing) blood sugar, but you're also hypotonic so you get headaches as your brain is swelling against your skull.

Eating/drinking some salt (say 1g), some time after eating, when sugar levels fall (~1-3h) can do wonders. Eating more sugar also relieves the pain, but only by delaying the issue. Of course, not overeating sugar in the first place is even better.

¹ sugar in the sense of mono and disaccharides. Not sure if any saccharides are required in diet.

The task of "making a consumer aware that a product exists that they would be interested in purchasing" can be valuable to the consumer. The problem is that since it's a task currently being performed by the sellers of specific products, their incentives are not aligned with those of the consumer. So you get the current nauseating mess of creepy targeting or scattershot non-targeting, and it gets thrown in your face in passing, instead of at a time and in a way that you've chosen.

Pay-to-get-attention could in theory still be a meritocracy where good products make money and thus can pay to get advertised more - but in practice it's more a matter of who raises the most money from investors, or incumbents using their past success to out-market the scrappy newcomers with a better product but smaller war-chest.

I think there's still a big opportunity here, in creating marketplaces or similar that are closer to true meritocracies, where the best products get recommended, that put the wants and needs of the consumer first, where avoiding "noise" and "false positives" from the perspective of the consumer is a top priority. The problem is that the obvious monetization of something like this is to start compromising the integrity and trust you've built up and amplify those willing to pay, and we end up back where we started, with yet another Google, Facebook, Yelp, Trustpilot or similar.
My original comment was not just about Docker Desktop. Their Shenanigans around the Docker Desktop commercial product has cost them alot of good will, and support for their other offerings.

This is why podman, and others are looking to replace the docker engine which while still open source is tainted by the actions of the parent company
And?

SPACing is the easy part. Just ask NKLA, LCID, GOEV and RIDE.

A company operating in the same league like 'Google' does not get itself acquired, is also profitable and expands onto multiple industries and countries.

We'll see if out of these other EV competitors Arrival is either a 'Google', 'Yahoo' or the EV company that could have been but somehow could not.
> Without personhood all is just an enormous cloud of elementary particles floating in the dark

I don't understand. Dropping personhood and ego doesn't mean dropping feeling, wisdom or meaning. In fact, it is precisely when the ego is dissolved that we can feel most meaningfully connected to ultimate reality. Our personhood is not what makes raw matter ("elementary particles floating in the dark") vibrant, alive and coherent. Personhood is a very useful social-cognitive illusion but, when dropped, the world tends to become richer not more empty. Nah?

Everyone in Austin hated SH-45 & 130 when they were built, they were practically empty for a few years to my delight as I could travel the entirety of Austin in a fraction of the normal time even during rush hours. After MOPAC was added residents began to see the light and the tollways are now congested. Many are regretting their opposition to Perry's lost/last road project but, that train has left the station unless Elon can get the Boring project going or Virgin is able to implement their version of Hyperloop. Hell, I'd have settled for elevated wire gondolas over the roads, works well enough for Australia.

but is 19% slower in single core performance. However, if you consider that AMD uses 7nm and Apple 5nm technology to build their processors, AMD is a lot better.

> Special licenses like 'everyone except Amazon' seems 'for the people', but really it isn't, AGPL is. The reason people want these special licenses is because they want their cake (popularity like MIT) and eat it too (make it not free in personally selected ways).

Another common reason is that they want to be able to profit off of the code, sometimes even taking in other people's contributions, without allowing anyone else (sometimes even contributors) to profit from it.
I do understand the pros and cons. My point was that it doesn't matter when you prefer peak performance vs efficiency on a desktop PC. I'd rather have 8 Firestorm cores on my PC, with one or two of these fast cores dedicated for the "lighter" workload even if it consumes a few more watts. When your desktop computer is slow, doing a CPU resource intensive task, nobody is going to appreciate that it is consuming less power - everyone will be cribbing about the slow speed.
The public can be informed of 'what is out there' without ads. Word of mouth, trusted review/digest media that would attempt to do an honest comparison of offerings while avoiding conflicts of interest.

The only things ads may be good for are for funding things that might otherwise have required explicit payments.

Please don't pretend to reference the parent comment with what you say by falsely quoting "racial abuse" - the parent comment never said that. And we don't know what "racial abuse" referred to in the original comment.
Your understanding is ultimately for you, an illusion, but also a convenient and necessary part of life.
The strength it takes to say "I don't know" should be more respected and honored.
no Zig nor Nim nor D but you include 2 GC'ed languages as suitable for "low-level code"???
I think so. At least here in NL, the journalist class decided somewhere in 70s or early 80s, they had an obligation to do 'good' instead of only doing inpartial reporting.

Of course, their defintion of 'good' might differ from mine or yours.
I suspect that, for most cases, it won’t matter (not everything needs to be optimized -heresy, I know).

But for some “inner loop” stuff, it could make a big difference.

Another issue, is that visitors will hit the entire set; even when it is no longer necessary to continue. We can do some tricks to make subsequent visits shorter, but they’ll happen, nonetheless. This always bothers me.

Why skip 5 to use 2 instead? And you also have extra keys around WASD to bind to. What makes numpad keys any different?
For lefties who use mouse with left hand you can have same keys on the right hand side but hat varies (for me equal keys would be plöä)

>programming

Are all of your function keys already populated? And if you are going to move your hand to numpad why skip over insert, home, page up/down, and end?

>calculating

Well there you have me. 20 years ago when I was manually inserting PSU serial numbers into excel numpad was real nice, but I can't remember last time I had to input numbers like that.

My current keyboard has numpad, but only thing I've used it in years was as abort button for some bots.
When people want the truth, they'll find it. If they don't want it, no amount of effort will guide them to it.

Don't guide them with facts. Guide them to seek the truth. There's a reason they're avoiding truth. Fix that.

In my case, what works is asking them to seek God for advice. If they die from someone's bad advice, then the angels will ask them why they chose to follow that advice when their hearts told them otherwise. If they follow God's advice and died, then it's just their time and they'd be judged as martyrs for following it.

Everyone I've said that to later took the vaccine. It doesn't have to be religious, but appeal to their highest morality, not yours.
I’m not sure allotment is the right word, at least in England allotments are much more intended for hobbyist gardening, they’re small, often you’re not even allowed a shed, staying there would be unlikely practically or legally. Isn’t this closer to the Summer Cabin concept in Scandinavia?
pitch interval training is different yes, I can do that to a certain extent but absolute pitch is very different.
Honestly, I don’t feel qualified to evaluate Rust. At face value, it seems like a good replacement for C++, but I’ve never successfully used it for anything larger than a toy. That’s probably mostly on me.

My comment was referring to the impression that people who like Rust seem to think that you either also accept Rust as the best thing ever, or you don’t get it. I probably shouldn’t have mentioned it, because now the thread will be about Rust.

The Ridiculously Early J Morning Show (J Coding Livestream)
I'm working on an outliner/repl presentation tool (for programming videos) in J, and I started livestreaming the process for an hour each morning.

The code I'm working on is here:

His explanation of "cultural imprinting" stuck out to me:

> In a way, cultural imprinting is a form of inception, but it's much shallower than the conventional (Pavlovian) account would have us believe. An ad doesn't need to incept itself all the way into anyone's deep emotional brain; it merely needs to suggest that it might have incepted itself into other people's brains

This is loosely connected, I know, but it reminded me of the "impostor" story from A Scanner Darkly. Had a hard time finding the text on my own, but luckily another user had already posted it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27049625

> ERNIE LUCKMAN ... this guy appeared on tv, claiming to be a world-famous imposter. He said he'd posed at one time or another as a great surgeon, a theoretical submolecular high-velocity particle research physicist, a Finnish novelist, a deposed president of Argentina...

> BOB ARCTOR He got away with it? Never got caught?

> ERNIE LUCKMAN See, the guy never really posed as any of it. He only posed as a worldfamous imposter. Turns out he just pushed a broom at Disneyland, until he read about this actual world-famous imposter, and he thought, I can pose as all those things, then he thought, hell, I'll just pose as an imposter. Save a lot of time, a lot easier. Made almost as much money as the real imposter with books and movie rights.

It still does what you want! This is an issue of syntax, not semantics.

Avoiding unbounded lookahead is not "premature" optimisation - if introduced, it would never be possible to remove due to the algorithmic complexity involved.
Two further comments on this:

- "Brussels" and its decisions have long been vilified in the UK press so may be a reflection of that.

- This may partly be a proxy for a general feeling of disempowerment given that the UK is so highly centralised.
In Germany, I was pleasantly surprised that some parties up for election have (regionally) expressed the will to abolish relgion-based studies in public schools. It makes me a bit hopeful, especially since I recently got the impression that young people are skewing more religious again. I have also seen some proposals to abolish the laws currently prohibiting singing and dancing during certain religious holidays.
> If all software would be source available tomorrow then this would be a huge win: election machines can be audited, we will know how good (or bad) government software is, I can judge software from Company X before deciding to do business with them, I can fix bugs that are a huge issue for me myself instead of just asking "please fix this bug that's a huge deal for me", etc. etc. After this we can move on further.

Note: "Source available" does not mean "source buildable". In fact, "source available" provides nearly nothing except the ability to "see" some source code. Not modify, not use with modifications, not distribute.

TBF, "Open Source" also does not directly or always imply those freedoms (see TiVo and its GPLv2 source code you cannot run on TiVo devices); but it and "Free Software" are more commonly associated with these freedoms. "Source available", historically, less so.
You are probally right on chemicals that treat depression.

I couldn't find the original Psychologist who decided to use The Freedom of Information Act to procure All the studies concerning the efficy of Antidepressant drugs.

He collated the all the clinical studies, and not just the cherry picked ones.

What he found puckered a few Psychiatrists arses, but they still prescribe like it's the end of the world, and rake in a very comfortable income.

I can't remember the guy's name, but this study might suffice.

I find it peculiar that disregarding the context (hacker news) and just focusing strictly on the content of your message I wouldn't be able to figure out which side you're supposed to be on. I could as well be reading this in one of 'their' forums, where one of your loved ones had posted this exact same message, word for word, to ask advice from their group on how to deal with a loved one affected by fake news (== you).

Unfortunately, I don't have any solutions. This seems like a viciously hard problem. I saw a VICE clip[0] about some survivors of covid-19 in an ICU, and even after going through a near-death experience firsthand they were still hesitant about taking the vaccine. This suggests to me that this issue originates somewhere too deep in the lizard brain to just be reasoned with using the real facts.
