There is a reason. OLED panels are still quite bad for "staying" images (burn-in). And not only that, there has been many other issues, which makes them hard to make outside of standard 55" TV sizes. Not many manufacturing lines for them.

Lenovo Yoga Gen 2 used to have OLED screen, and it was causing huge repairs. On Gen 3 it was removed and they took a long break before introducing it on other products.

Don’t use it as a monitor. It is insanely easy to get a burn in. There are many YT videos where people daily drived OLEDs as monitors and it was pretty much a burn in disaster. Sadly
My impression is quite the opposite - GMO insect-resistant plants enable using much less pesticides (the savings from reduced frequency and quantity of pesticides being the economic reason for choosing such crops) than non-modified equivalents.

I think that argument may be right, but it isn’t that groundbreaking.

An important point here is that every cost is regressive for the poor. The poorer you are the worse any cost is. As a result, rising prices hurt the poor more, and low quality cheap items end up hurting the poor more. But; it is obvious to say this. There’s no will to fix these problems.

I'm not blurring anything.

I'm stating that some of the violence associated with BLM is coming from people actively trying to discredit the movement. My gut tells me that it's a significant amount.

What I find more interesting is that people who make a point about the violence categorically seem to to ignore this aspect of the matter.

Are you willing to consider that this is happening, and if so, that perhaps that should bother you more?
Well, it seems like you cannot help yourself find the cause and that's why you are asking us.
If you cannot help yourself I don't think you are in a position to help others.
>This is beyond bad faith. Would you rather get a beating from your mother or a spanking from a drug lord?

This is in bad faith, a drug lord won't give you a spanking unless it's sexual in nature. I assume you know the difference between a sexual spanking and a beating in the street. Perhaps not. A parent can give a beating, but that is different from a spanking.

I think trying to equivocate a spanking with a beating is intellectually dishonest. If you can't tell the difference in both intent and intensity, I have no idea where you are coming from. You might be against spankings but to argue the words spanking and beating are synonyms is simply wrong, and quite honestly, juvenile in the level of reasoning. As the OP said, words matter.
I can't recommend getting a 40 to 46ish inch 4k TV enough. They're crazy cheap, and are the size and resolution of 4 regular 1080p monitors glued together.

And the real superpower is being able to have a double height display for code, that allows you to view twice as many lines of code at the same time, meanwhile still leaving half of the display for displaying your app/debugger/docs/git diff etc.

And window management is a breeze. Windows allows snapping to a quarter or half of the display by default, Gnome shell can be configured to do the same, and Mac has an app called Magnet that does this.
> Which is why hybrid (battery combined with overhead power lines) looks so attractive to me.

It may be good for some segments, but consider the number of charge cycles and charge/discharge rate, along with the peak charging currents on the overhead lines.

For, say, 10000 tonne trains, 15MW sustained is a good very optimistic target for how much power you need to put out to keep rolling (before you make this any worse with adding battery mass and before you consider e.g. slopes, braking, etc).

If your goal is a discharge rate of C/1, you're carrying 75 tonnes of batteries-so it masses about 1% more.

Then, what duty cycle are you charging at? 100% coverage from the overhead power lines means you need to bring 15MW into the train. If the goal is a big saving in the amount of overhead power lines needed, 10% coverage from the overhead power lines means you'll instead need to bring 150MW into the train during those spans (and, this is a really aggressive 10C charge rate...)

I think C/1 is too aggressive for good cycle service, 10C is waaaay too aggressive for charging-- and these are best case scenario (flat ground, etc). If you multiply the amount of batteries by a big amount, now the mass change to the train and the rolling resistance contribution to the train from batteries becomes significant).

edit: in the end, I think you're usually better off just electrifying the portions of the train route where it's easiest, and burning diesel the rest of the way, instead of trying to somehow dotted-line-overhead-electrify things and limp through with batteries.
I'm still a fan of this concept, but I think you have to keep your expectations realistic. You are likely going to have to make some platform specific considerations, just a lot less than without an abstraction technology. Generally, I've found this manageable, but it can be hard to pull off well for sure. Some have succeeded rather well I think (Java comes to mind).

Native GUI frameworks can be more of a challenge. Still, if you want a native L&F your alternative is to code each platform individually, then something like this (or wxWidgets/SWT/etc.) is likely to be a lot less work (but likely to look a bit less native). Trade offs. Good to have choices I think.
>but time progresses at different rates at the different places.

What about OLED's burn-in problem? Computers usually have a lot of GUI elements in the same place for long period of times.

Glossy displays can be good for prettier colors but can have glare problems from other light sources. This post is about picking a monitor for software development, why would glossy be better than matte for that use?

Agree completely. It’s absolutely insane how much I earn today, and this is in Europe which falls behind US in a tremendous way.

My mum raised me on £50 a week at most, I spend more than that on food a week, let alone any of the other essentials.

Sometimes I get this kind of impotent rage, that I should boil in my gut and write out exactly how life was like and how it’s completely unfair to those still trapped in that life who weren’t lucky enough to adore computers.

In some ways it’s worse for them now than it was for my mum… that’s unimaginable honestly, there were times we chose between electricity and food…

But all my baying on a personal blog is going to do nothing. Another sob story in a sea of thousands, and deafening silence from the “haves” of our society- unwilling or unable to relate to another human being in torrid inescapable misery.

And they wonder why poverty and alcohol abuse are linked.
Some years ago I had the opportunity to visit a switch control tower at a rail yard.

As with much else in the technological built landscape, what I'd not realised before that time was how much of the structure was devoted to, and determined by mechanism. Moving a switch control in the tower itself activated a relay which moved a lever arm, which through mechanical coupling moved the actual rail points.

(This is no longer always the case, but for older infrastructure, and this dated to at least the 1930s, it's quite common.)

The operater interfaces were themselves secured and sealed. The operator rather delightedly showed how the seals could be readily removed without any apparent sign of having done so....

Times, locations, and personnel left intentionally vague, though few of those involved are likely still alive.

Yes. It is true that some people just need to live within their means. But for people who are poor in the traditional sense, the cash flow is just too low. There’s no way to live well on that income. Finding ways to save cash isn’t really an endgame, other than perhaps tactically preventing going bankrupt from an extra medical expense, etc. What you need is more income. The most reliable vehicle to this is to go to college and make plans to go into a healthcare/engineering/accounting etc career, but that’s a really hard plan to pivot to at a certain point in life.

I'm in the same boat as you. After some clueless doctors, I'm in the 'try low FODMAP' phase currently, and for the first time I'm improving.

Silly question, but what typically causes prolonged poverty?

Apart from illnesses (including mental illnesses and addiction), isn't it mostly a matter of finding a reasonably paid job eventually?

I have known times when I had little money, but it was in part also because I did not want a job and tried other things. But at least when I was younger, I think falling back onto a job would have been an option. Wouldn't it for most people? I mean even if you have to look for two years, wouldn't most "normal" people be able to get a job eventually?
You grew up.

That's all. This realization of the Olympics being a non-event to you is how most adults have viewed the Olympics for the past 50 years. Seriously, no one cares or has ever really cared much. You're just now old enough to realize that. Oh, and there are still families with kids who are watching the Olympics the way you did while growing up. My teenage kids happen to love the Olympics and are watching every event. See? The Olympics haven't changed. You have.

Those issues are specific to cartography, which used a mess of non-standardized conventions for centuries. Like with calendars, there is an almost unbounded set of edge cases when writing software to support it. Geospatial data from modern systems, which rounds to "all data", is virtually always presented as EPSG:4326 + ISO 19125 so the experience is pleasantly consistent, and as a practical matter you can't avoid this representation.

The vast majority of geospatial data is not intrinsically cartographic in nature and the primary use case is not making maps even if maps are sometimes used as a presentation layer. Consequently, cartographic conventions are correctly treated as legacy interfaces that require conversion into a modern standard; it wouldn't make sense for a modern software system to speak legacy standards natively.

Most modern geospatial data systems use an internal spatial reference system derived from WGS84 (not even straight EPSG:4326) that is optimized for efficient data processing. Remember, the vast majority of this data is primarily consumed by machines and virtually all of the data is required to be interoperable with machines. There is a very thin long tail of people using myriad legacy cartographic formats but they don't influence how geospatial data is handled because it is such a negligible percentage of the computing done on geospatial data these days.

The two big problems with this idea, IMO, are:

1. You're heavily disincentivizing people from doing their most to earn more money. Assuming you buy into capitalism in the first place (which I do), the result of this is generally worse for society. Less new inventions, less new medicines, less new technologies, etc.

2. The second problem is more philosophical, but... what right does society have to take away someone's property, which they presumably worked hard for? People often work hard to give to their children (hence point 1 above), what makes you think it's a legitimate use of the force of government to take everything from them? Most people think it's fairly unfair.
There are plenty of comedians joking around COVID, conspiracy theories, vaccines, and making people laugh.

Joe Rogan as a comedian is very different than Joe Rogan as a podcaster. He tries to be a very serious podcaster, and brings in serious people to debate serious subjects.

But he treats them all with the same respect and reverence. Which is a good attitude to take with people you meet 1on1, but may not be a dispassionate neutral position when you have a massive audience of tens of millions.

So when he brings in an astrophysicists and they teach the audience about the lifecycle of stars, it's educational and people both learn and are entertained. And the next guest is a conspiracy nut with a lot of PhDs that tells everyone COVID is overplayed and vaccines don't work, they also learn and are entertained.

Rogan has a sizeable enough audience that the impact of his COVID misinformation can be included as one of the reasons why Americans have so much COVID vaccine hesitancy, and directly contributes to the elevated COVID death toll in the US.
I think it often goes understated just how much the emergence of massive datasets led to the successes of neural networks.

SixtyFPS (https://sixtyfps.io/) is in progress for Rust, but it is still early days. It also does not technically use a native toolkit (it uses Qt), but I believe that might be on roadmap.

I should also add that it is GPL - with all that implies. They also have commercial licenses.
Authors and publishers can buy ads on Amazon, including on kindles, and the targeting includes the ability for people to pick their own keywords or advertise on other specific words, as well as letting Amazon choose. As such, Amazon earns money on a whole lot of those ads whether or not you buy anything, and a lot of the people involved are likely not very experienced at targeting.

Unfortunately, it boils down to org charts and who talks to whom in a company.

An engineer who owns the proximity sensor device driver is usually not invited to the meeting where the industrial design lead is showing off the latest iteration to the product and marketing team.

"Western Science"'s insistence on procedure, double-blind studies with control groups, finding provable reasons why, etc. have debunked most of pre-modern medicine.

Unfortunately, I haven't read the new translation! (I was thrilled to learn of the discovery only weeks after finishing Hardy, but the whole thing receded from my attention in the three years it took for the new volumes to actually become available. I've taken this opportunity to finally order the German text.)

A 2019 LA Review of Books article [0] gives Hardy quite some credit and concludes about the new translation by Boehm:

> Despite aspects that makes this a less-than-authoritative edition, the translation itself shines. It is a smooth, gripping read, and contains passages inserted after Hardy’s translation was made, which now appear in English for the first time. New details, such as the exact song sung by Rubashov’s neighbor in prison, add freshness. Boehm corrects the chapter titles from Hardy’s “The First Hearing,” “The Second Hearing,” and so forth to “The First Interrogation,” which makes more sense in context.
