There's a phone repair shop in my town and every single time I've passed by when it's open, there are customers inside. I don't think those people are hobbyists.
Is the UI keyboard focused? In other words can I do most things without the mouse, and is there a general shortcut that brings up a menu of actions (with their shortcuts shown).

For any productivity app, that should be a top feature.
I like the icon design, unlike the widget set and window decorations and general color palettes. Could never get used to the cursive font in window titles, and sometimes menus? Couldn't care less about stuff like Gr-osview, the typical clock, and so on. Just use conky, or similar stuff. And the filemanager looks like a nicely skinned rox-filer, TBH.
Agreed. Plus, this one is also built on top of a blockchain. The mentioned AI agents are autonomous economic agents(AEAs) that can do transactions on your behalf. They run on the fetch ai[1]'s blockchain.

Right?
It's 20% here but it's included in the prices. Most people don't think about it at all unless they're buying for business.
Words have both connotations and denotations.

The denotation is the literal dictionary definition. The connotation is the associated meaning that comes to people’s minds.

The connotation of “withholding“ is to prevent someone from getting something they are owed. Business Insider wants to imply that MC employees were owed equity, despite MC being clear and upfront about the fact this was not offered.

This way, many thousands of aggrieved employees who are unsatisfied with their career decisions and seeking someone to blame will click on the article and feel like they are victims of an unjust system. This will generate many pageviews and therefore revenue for Business Insider.
Bitcoin is by far the least interesting cryptocurrency at this point.

The challenge for renewables isn't to produce an aggregated sufficient amount of power, but production intermittency.

In Europe wind alone has many times the capacity (see https://www.sussex.ac.uk/news/media-centre/press-releases/id... )

Production intermittency will solved thanks to continent-scale deployment, storage, smartgrid...
I'm glad your experiences have been good. But that doesn't make it true for the country as a whole. Here's a quote by Former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich:

"It's more dangerous to be black in America[...] It's both more dangerous because of crime, which is the Chicago story. But it is more dangerous in that you're substantially more likely to end up in a situation where police don't respect you where you could easily get killed. I think sometimes for whites it's difficult to appreciate how real that is."
Yeah, they got well compensated as mentioned but if it's something you've put a lot of love and hard work into and you're still burning for, I don't think money can truly compensate.
It's also a dealbreaker for me.

Hopefully, RaMMicHaeL will be able to fix that: https://rammichael.com/7-taskbar-tweaker-and-a-first-look-at...

The auto-hide functionality is actually a smidgeon better now, not reserving space anymore (on Windows 10 I have to use ButteryTaskbar), but I want to disable the useless 2-pixel (or whatever it is, haven't measure it) border and the mouse hover to activate it. I'd also prefer to have it oriented vertically since I use super ultrawide monitors (49"), but can live without it, even though it's a regression since Windows 95 (or 98?).

Also, you really have to disable animations because the animations are sooooooo sluggish. I always disable those OS-wide anyway though.

First of all Flowbite is based on and also includes a Figma design file and it is also different in terms of styling.

We chose a cleaner and more enterprise design to target high-end developers and companies.

I suppose that the differences and whether one or the other is better depends on your project and what you want.
>Ultimately he is advocating for a political solution for what he believes is an economic problem.

How is that a "political solution to an economic problem"? What would a non political solution look like to you? Why is it bad that it's a political solution to an economic problem? If it works, it works.

To be pedantic, Apple does allow Progressive Web Apps which can bypass the App Store. (The Xbox cloud gaming app is a big one that goes down this path)

Note that I don’t support at all this decision to cooperate with an autocrat.
I had a similar experience with a ZX-81 (and a TS-2000). What's interesting related to your "You cannot harm the computer in this way" quote is that I see that experimentation embodied in my kids (who grew up with a PC in the house) but also the anti-pattern in my mother and my in-laws who clearly didn't have a computer in the house until middle-age (note that I left my dad our of this category as he was an EE building embedded systems for instrumentation for much of his career).

This used to be a comment about how all White Americans should protect Indian heritage. Which they of course should, but he also accused all White people of "ravaging" Indian sites etc.
Preposterous. Creativity has never been more unbounded and flourishing than it is now.
> for way below its value

I fail to see how. If you are compensated at the market value of your work, that seems fair and Mailchimp gave generous compensation.

You could argue that the gap between wages and capital gain has become too big, a point on which we will be in agreement but to be honest with you, I think the surprising part is that someone would want to pay 12 billions for a company with $700 million of revenue. Still I have found the market to be surprising for a long time so maybe it's time I reassess my expectations.
Not using GC. Not using reference counting. Not using "manual memory management".
Allow side-loading so that you don’t leave yourself open to a situation where the only way your customers get access to a voting app is by having your employees jailed. The AppStore creates an easily exploitable bottleneck for governments to take advantage of. The hkmap.live situation during the protests in Hong Kong was similar.
It’s funny that Portugal is an eastern European country.
Memory isn't the only limited resource which needs to be managed. File handles, network ports, etc. all all need proper design to avoid leaks. If you are used to only the allocation and never the cleanup, your design style won't hand effective management of these other types of resources for which GC isn't an option.

I'd use Java if it let me annotate when I want things to be deleted.
How I see it is the following: we were discussing about anti-lockdown. When I brought an argument against that attitude, I got replies about vaccine safety. When I addressed the vaccine safety, I got replies about diversity. This is what makes me repeat the above (even though heavily downvoted) conclusion: most people "against" are "against everything" on an ideological stance, be it on the streets or on hn. I'm an engineer former researcher and this lack of willingness to dialogue pains me deeply, going against everything I was trained to practice.
>Tell that to Apple in China, a country that is literally using slave workforce from concentration camps.

Everyone else: You can only have systems programming in languages with manual memory management.

No, it is just part of the cycle. It stores CO2 but only temporarily.

I remember some statistics that humanity is emitting more new carbon into atmosphere every decade that entire mass of biosphere.

So if you think about it, our biosphere is pretty irrelevant when it comes to removing carbon from atmosphere.

Even if we somehow got it to double its entire mass (nobody even dreams of that), this would amount to pausing our emissions for a decade.
Not responding to the article or the good or bad of it (frankly it bores me), but this is a strange view of “success”. There’s this strange malaise where people see something like this as their aim in life: to sell to some other guy for the big bucks as if this buyout was “the success” and as if this inducted then into Valhalla. It’s the mysticism of money.

Apart from that, if people were serious about not selling, they’d make employees meaningful shareholders. Salary entails zero loyalty and zero stake in the company on the part of the employee. In the latter case, why would you believe that they wouldn’t sell? That’s what people do.

> Apple and Google have build their ecosystem in such a way that they have full power over these decisions, and now they are forced to use that power.

They made choices that put them in this situation, sure. But how does the fact that it's their fault change their situation now? Leaving still achieves nothing, and they certainly won't change their business model for that reason alone, so the logical choice is to stay and obey.

If they left, I doubt they would be replaced by a Microsoft-like that has less control over their devices. More likely, the void would be filled by government-compliant companies.
There's a difference between patenting an idea and actually building a working device.

It sounds like the author had expected his existing skills to remain relevant for a very long time.

It's certainly a slog keeping up with change in the software industry. It's not just that things keep changing, it's that the wheel keeps being reinvented and that's just tedious.

I remember working with an older programmer when I was about 30 who was retraining as a lawyer. He said he was just bored with having to learn essentially the same things but in different forms over and over again.
Why? Being bounced around by surrounding particles can be used to generate power. I once had a watch that could "recharge" by moving it.
> JavaFX is still maintained by Oracle

Yes and no. Yes, we still have some Oracle engineers contributing, but development is co-led with Gluon, and not at the same standard of contribution as other Oracle-led OpenJDK efforts. Second, the problem isn't the actual building of the package, but the lack of desire to coordinate releases. Same goes for the EE modules -- which orders of magnitude more people use than JavaFX.

> that one move broke every JavaFX app simultaneously

> Java lacks backwards compatibility: their apps stop running.

Yes, but given that Java's backward compatibility is significantly stronger than pretty much anyone else's (except maybe C), it's important to understand that its former, even stronger form, was not so much by design, but by unfortunate necessity -- investment in the platform was low, and so the rate of change. There is simply no way to let the complexity of the JDK grow monotonically, so things have to be removed or separated. If, say, 1 in every 100 projects has to make a code change (not just include external packages) only once every few years -- we're very happy with that.

We put a very high premium on backward compatibility, certainly compared to other platforms, but it's not absolute, as that would entail stopping the platform's evolution. Especially now with the disappearance of the JRE, the addition of jlink and the move toward embedded runtimes, aiming for 100% compatibility for 100% of users is not even necessary.

Lobbying is simply an open system of advocacy where all the other countries have closed and informal systems.
Except that by this point, all this is expected behaviour.

If companies don't want to be complicit in these crimes, they need to extricate themselves from the country and cut all ties.

If they do want to put profit ahead of everything else, then whatever, but you don't get to defend them as doing the right thing for their employees. They're enabling the whole situation.

[Edit to bring in a sister question] "Why don't Apple pull out of China then?" - because they put profit and cheap manufacturing ahead of their morals. And apparently we don't care enough that China effected a genocide while we watched.

(if you really "living in Scandinavia") You literally don't understand what are you talking about, which is damn obvious when you comparing Scandinavia or even US to Russia. You basically comparing Tesla car to horse-drawn carriage and draw similarities on a basis that both have 4 wheels and therefore they are both great and safe transportation devices.
Its one example of issues that never should have made it into a release in the first place of any software that cared about stability.

That even attempting to fix got deferred to jre18.

From where I, and Im sure most of "the ecosystem" sits "the jvm eventually explodes if you indefinitely add things to and clear an arraylist" is more than reason enough to not update to any jvm with that "feature", 10% hardware savings wouldnt cover a fraction of the support costs there even for those spending significant amounts on hardware.

OTOH, it is quite nice that new adopters will by design never be able to achieve the same stability those of us who have been around the block a few times have.
If we can put a sales tax on bread then we can put it on stock. Totally agree. I think, in general, taxes/credits are much better solutions to problems of economic incentives because they only change the incentives as opposed to the structures of the market.
I think you have an inflated opinion of the Chinese government. Inefficiency is the very definition of corruption. Look at the real estate sector. Look at the high speed rail sector. Look at food security scandals. Their inability to contain animal diseases like African Swine Fever.

I shudder at the thought of this kind of government (and civilian extensions thereof) handling radioactive material at an unprecedented scale.
Yeah, right.

I am baffled by website design. I am there to read an article about Hot Wheels. They embed a video about the F-117. Distracting and annoying, but fine. Then, as I scroll more, the video follows me! WTF! No I don’t want to watch your stupid video. I want to read your article. Isn’t that why it’s here?!?
Ok, that's pretty wild. Can it work on earth too? That seems like a good starting point.
I don't think that would work. Bloxels would need to know their location in the grid. And any kind of closed object would cause problems because bloxels would only adhere to the surface, not build up bulk inside.

Maybe better would be a kind of 3D printing model, where the shape is 2D and changes over time, which leads to accretion of a 3D shape.

Even so - without feedback and monitoring you'll get errors and holes.

And you'll still have the problem that unless you're using some novel form of programmable electrostatic bonding, adhesion between bloxels will be weak.

So you won't be able to do much with your finished shape except look at it. Probably not even pick it up, in fact.
Yes Google pulling out instead of censoring search results and spying on users for the government made things better for people in China.

Apple scan your photos. Tells you what apps you are allowed to install and charges you extra for all of that. Whatever type of person is left on the platform is more likely to be going through stockholm syndrome and wouldn't be in a situation to make a political statement.
As far as I understand because it is politically unfeasible in Germany. They officially prefer renewable sources since 2000 and nuclear was to be used as a bridging technology, however they decided to phase it out ASAP after the Fukushima disaster, see ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Renewable_Energy_Source... )

As someone living in Scandinavia you probably have a King.

Anyway, these law makers are still democratically elected in the US (more than we can say about the king of Norway), and these parties are more like coalitions anyway since they're so large and broad.
Oh wow. Memories.

Sin/Cos were just the gateway drug. To do interesting stuff on the computer, I ended up learning matrix algebra (for rotating things on screen) and even simple calculus (filling out areas) years before they were mentioned at school. When school math caught up, my math grades shot thru the roof - while remaining a below-avg student on everything except math and science.

I used to literally bring the spectrum programming manual with me to all our vacations - using it to hand "assemble" assembly programs into machine code (I had never heard of an assembler - and I won't have had any way to get my hands on one even if I had known about them) so that I could type them in when we got back home.
Specialization mostly a problem in monocultures.

If you almost only plant wheat, you are going to end up with one hell of a pest problem.

If you almost only have Windows XP, you are going to have one hell of a virus problem.

If you almost only have SearchRank-style search engines (or just the one), you are going to have one hell of a content spam problem.

Even though they have some pretty dodgy incentives, I don't think google suffers quality problems because they are evil, I think ultimately they suffer because they're so dominant. Whatever they do, the spammers adapt almost instantly.

A diverse ecosystem on the other hand limits the viability of specialization by its very nature. If one actor is attacked, it shrinks and that reduces the opportunity for attacking it.

I'm glad to hear that you've taken the time to understand how GC work, and the trade-offs that languages make when use them.

I would be curious to learn more about what you're research as has shown with regards to using a GC in your problem space. It's always interesting to learn about areas of engineering that unique requirements.
Your operating system you are running is not just "an exception".

Neither is software running in all your electronics.

All these require software that has some different requirements that typically are incompatible with unpredictability of a garbage collected dynamic language.

Please have a careful look at the plot again. The electricity production from coal dropped by something like 50% in the last 10 years.

Of course Germany's ancient nuclear reactors could have been kept running by a bit longer, but the overall effect would not have been dramatic. On the other hand, old GE-designed boiling water reactors suffered a bit of an image problem after three of them melted down in Fukushima.

Alaska reports second consecutive day of over 1k new Covid-19 cases
I believe that is not correct. Social media is fine in basic forms, such as Reddit/HN style forum threads, and Facebook's keeping-in-touch-with-old-friends and arranging events.

Mixing news into social media, sharing stories to Facebook, turned it from a coffee shop into a town square with a million soap boxes.

Bad actors then seized that format and used it to spread propaganda and disinformation.

That's not to say that the basic forms of social media were perfect, far from it. They're just as susceptible to manipulation. There's just something about Facebook's link to (mostly) real identities that elevates it to a hugely effective propaganda platform.
