Qt is usually touted in HN as one of the ideal alternatives to Electron for the myriad of simple / CRUD-style applications that people decide to use Electron for.

While I agree that Qt is an excellent tool in itself, and I love using it for development, it remains a fact that people wanting to use it will need to first learn a not so excellent programming language, C++ [1]. And that's a very steep entry barrier for most people, before even starting to approach the toolkit itself!

(there's also the option to write Qt apps with Python, but that comes with its own set of challenges)

[1]: I'm a C++ programmer myself, had used Qt for a bunch of years, and would like to see it used more... but I also understand that C++ must be a horribly complex language for someone who comes from Java or Typescript; and anyway IMHO C++ is the wrong tool for the job when writing a non-specialized application, without lots of data processing, or where the utmost performance is not a priority, i.e. 99% of desktop apps that get written.
It eventually felt like that, when I started trying to optimize things. But the first few hours it was very relaxing.

I feel the obvious solution wouldn't be to handicap your own product, but simply sell the same processors cheaper when they stop selling.

I've never heard of farmers who intentionally make their produce worse before selling it, they simply sell it cheaper if there isn't enough demand. If you make a lot of houses that don't end up popular, do you go and smash the roof and take away the plumbing, or sell the same house at a lower price?

You say this as if there isn't widespread confirmed censorship AS WELL, for example, https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/may/27/facebook-...

That's FB censoring discussion of the origins of a pandemic responsible for millions of deaths, and even banning people who posted about the possibility.
The scalper can't distinguish between a poorer person who really needs a thing, and a richer person who just kinda wants it. They will happily price out the former before the latter gives up.

There seems to be an assumption in the discussions about the market that people don't do stupid shit with money. That the same good cannot be both life-critical for one, and a source of cheap entertainment for another. That people only ever spend money to make more money. That they are perfectly consistent over time. That nothing is ever time-critical, it may be only time-discounted.

But the reality is, people are irrational, things take time, and markets have inertia. In a scalper-managed shortage of critical medication, it's perfectly possible for a rich person who watched one too many end-of-the-world movies to buy up the supply at high markup, to stock their fallout shelter, and have it rot there while people who need it die. It takes time for a chip scalper to insert themselves into the market, buy up the supply and advertise their existence - in that time, the factories might be wasting megadollars of money.

Instead of comming up with new API they retrofit existing one (the render function) to add continuation passing. They use throwing and promise, neither is for continuation passing.

Somewhere in this thread there is a link to the crankjs article which does the same thing using a generator-based API. It is also weird from a conventional point of view but at least simpler and somewhat more intuitive

>> I'm of the opinion that this "do your own research" is generally bad advice.

I never used the words "do your own research" and I will very please ask you to not quote me as saying words I didn't actually say.

Further, "do your own research" is what conspiracy theorists say. Are you saying that my advice to read Herodotus and Thucydides is on the same level as spreading anti-vaxx propaganda or 5g-conspiracy theories?

As to expertise, I'm Greek and I grew up reading history. Literally. Not at school, where the teaching of history was a deplorable affair of memorising passages from school books, but at home. Just because I'm that kind of nerd. When other kids got dinosaurs and xboxes for Crhistmas, I got Xenophon in leather-bound tomes, with the ancient and modern text in opposite pages so I could read the original and understand it.

So I'm "expert" enough in what I'm talking about that, if you're interested in the opinion of knolwedgeable others, you should take pause and listen to what I say: the blog posts linked above are full of hot air and peddle a bunch of bullshit misreadings of history, deliberately so to provoke outrage and clicks. You won't learn anything useful by reading them.

Read the sources I link to. You don't need to be an expert in anything to read some English translations of ancient texts. You just need to be curious to know exactly who said what.

Edit: btw, the author of the blog posts is an expert on Rome ("Bret is a historian of the broader ancient Mediterranean in general and of ancient Rome in particular"; from his about page). So when he's talking about Sparta, he's not the expert you think he is. The same goes for many other of his blog posts, e.g. ones on the Middle Ages etc. If we went toe-to-toe on ancient Greek history, he might beat me on points (e.g. off the top of my head I dond't remember the date of the Battle of Salamis), but he's got as much a leg to stand on to write what he did as I have to call bullshit on it.

It is more like buying a signed baseball card. And with NFTs being digital tokens they can't be forged or duplicated, and the original creator can't stop you from transferring to someone else, and they can be transferred to someone else relatively securely if you have the private key and pay the gas.

Anyone else could print and sign a baseball card, mint an almost identical NFT. But if they come from someone besides the techno viking they won't be worth anything, because anyone could do the same thing. But the techno viking can certainly sell more to others just like a baseball player can sign a lot of cards.

I'd also like to add English mustard to that list, most notably the Colmans's brand. I found it odd to not be there but I suppose it's not a thing found commonly abroad? It's ubiquitous in the UK - like French's is the the US. It comes in both a bottle and powdered form, with the later capable of blowing a mans head clean off. Closer to Wasabi from my experience.

I gave a bottle of the stuff as a present to my host when on a rugby tour in Canada. Didn't mention that it's not the type you use on hotdogs (it's generally used as a condiment for a roast dinner with beef, used sparingly). I received a very funny video a week later of them as a dribbling mess.

The 90s had competition here. There was MSN, FirstClass, Internet, Compuserve, AOL. The Internet won, but no it's not as simple as "we already had email". It didn't start out unified.

I'm talking about for the consumer. Sure, the Internet sure had a leg up on winning, in retrospect, because it was open and built by schools too. But imagine if Microsoft had successfully pushed MSN as "the" network for high schools?

These competitors were point-and-click easy for nontechies long before the Internet was.

How about making meat production more ethical and practical?

I live surrounded by cows, literally. The area has no good soil, so every farmer here has like 13 to whatever cows (13 is the magical number of cows you can have without studying agriculture or so, assuming you live in a relevant area). All these cows spend most of the time outside, in the summer they are in the Alps, spring and fall they chill in the fields and go to 'sleep' in their stall and winter they are mostly indoors, except on sunny days.

They eat ONLY what is growing around here in the more or less useless soil. Even in the winter.

90% of the farmers here are at least organic. So synthetic fertilizer & power food are out of the question too.

Many small farmers do what one or two people can and help each other on the busy days. And it works.

Literally every reason I've read is this thread about why cow meat is so bad does not apply as far as I can tell to the meat I eat.

I think you have outlined the fundamental disagreement quite well.

> It's not very strange that people instinctively feel that NFTs are nonsense; but a lot of the arguments being made are entirely unengaged with the actual issues at play, and seemingly no interest in doing so.

I think when people see utility in physical artwork, to the point they would travel to the other side of the world to see it, they find it hard to credit that almost all the value comes from provenance.

Likewise I think people who see art as nothing more than the name of the person who painted it will wholly embrace NFTs as investments.

These two groups are probably not going to come to an agreement.

Well at least in CH you only have one ticket for everything (yes including regional rail providers, buses, ships, even many cable cars), so maybe AT could follow the idea. Plus you have that nice little feat called "EasyRide" (initially from a startup) where you enter that you start the ride and who accompanies you, and it will compute your final ticket costs only when you say "checkout". 90% of the cases it comes cheaper than I would have thought when buying the tickets by myself (the rest 10% of time the price is the same as estimated)
NFTs are more like paper products in general.

That's where we'll be in 50-100 years if we want to have a future that doesn't suck too much, and not just about what you eat. We're definitely living in the golden age of consumerism in every aspects: energy, food, travel, electronic gadgets, &c. We're producing and consuming so much useless shit and well aware that we're heading for disaster.

We're either going to be limited by natural resources, climate issues or our own actions to limit ourself to avoid #1 and #2.

There is just no way around it, you can't keep on extracting more and more ressources from a closed system, you can't keep polluting more and more in a closed system, you can't target an exponential growth in a closed system.

Companies don't give a shit, because their sole purpose is to not care about these issues. That's how you get companies like apple shitting unrepairable products every 6 months, but it's ok because their offices are carbon neutral, right ?

Countries don't give a shit, because GDP is king and energy = GDP, https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/figures/correlation-...

So it's a game of chicken, everyone knows about the problem, they all know the solutions, but no one is really taking action, because that would be a massive paradigm shift in virtually every aspect of our economy

"Thinking doesn't guarantee that we won't make mistakes. But not thinking guarantees that we will" - Leslie Lamport
>A type is a (possibly infinite) subset of all the possible values that can be provided as input to a program, or all the possible results a program can produce. [...] That's pretty much it.

I've often seen this reductionist simplification of "type" but I don't think it's accurate because of the emphasis on values without mentioning the rules for those values.

The extra power of "types" comes from behaviors of values.

E.g. in mathematics example, a Complex Number when only seen as "values" looks like a 2-dimensional vector. Therefore, r^2 and complex plane can appear as the same type but they are not. Complex Numbers have extra behavior rules e.g. multiplication that plain r^2 does not. (https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/444475/whats-the-di...)

For a less mathy example, would be a typical DateTime type. Yes, some underlying implementation may use a 64bit integer as an offset from an epoch but a rich datetime type would also have "behavior rules" such as adding 1 day to Saturday makes it wrap around back to Sunday because of modular arithmetic. It's the built-in behavior rules that make using a DateTime type less error-prone than manipulating raw 64bit integers.

Personal anecdote: I initially learned an incomplete and misleading idea about "types" from K&R's "The C Programming Language". From that book, I only thought of "types" as different data widths (or magnitudes). An "int" held 16bits and a "long" held 32 bits, etc. And C keywords like "typedef" futher adds to the misunderstanding of "types" because typedef is just an name alias instead of defining behavior rules.

Doesn't work in case of incest. Just thinking of edge cases here...
You are describing types as sets, and in intensional type theory types are not sets. There is also extensional type theory, where types can be sets, but in general we are not talking about that when we speak about type theory in connection to computer science.

But regardless of ITT vs. ETT, the point of type theory is that proofs are mathematical objects. That's where the real power comes from and this is the power unityped languages lack.

I suspect that this false belief that dynamically-checked language afficionados have, of types being sets, is responsible for their disdain for statically-typed languages. If you think that types are sets, it's easy to miss what they can do.

Back then, I used to overclock the $hit out of my CPU. Any chance I could get to ramp it up I took.

This one I have now is the first one I haven't overclocked in at least a decade: i9 10900K.

I went from an i7 8700k running all cores at 5GHz to the i9 10900K running stock.

The reason was that I ran HWInfo and saw that it clocked to almost 5GHz on its own with single and dual-threaded workloads anyway. And given the 20 cores, it would hammer through anything that needed multicore.

In short, this is the first time I didn't feel the need to overclock.
Unless you are auditing all third-party packages before installing them, any package can modify /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ by dropping a file in there, or from its postinst/etc scripts at installation time etc. So using the signed-by mechanism isn't much of a security enhancement without the auditing.
>As a French, the construction comes naturally because we've been taught that at school since kindergarten. This always sounded a bit weird, though.

If you follow the grammatical history of French, the neutral gender just got folded into masculine.

>but some innovative-but-not-distruptive changes would be welcome

You can't really produce grammar by decree, at best you can systematize what already exists. The only "sane" way to have explicit neutral in French would be to go back in time, reimplement declensions and possibly mangle phonology in the process. That won't happen. All forms of "inclusive writing" are from the outset destined and meant to be an elitist signal rather than an actual linguistic feature. They won't survive and they'll been seen in the future as a strange, idiosyncratic trend of the age. A bit like Renaissance orthography, where countless letters were added without meaning to simply look fancier.
It's crazy to me that in all these 80+ comments about FB disinformation there's no mention of the most dramatic recent example of Facebook mass manipulating culture - their admitted systematic censorship of the lab leak theory [0].

They even banned some of the posters. This was done based on the word of a paper in The Lancet that later turned out to have 26 out of 27 authors connected to the lab [1].

Is that insane culture attack not worth a mention, if the topic is disinfo on Facebook? The damage from that particular campaign is hard to measure, but what's not in doubt is that they gaslit the world on the flimsiest of "scientific" bases, and are getting away with it scot free.
