I haven't looked too deeply into how BeeWare works, but why is it so uncommon to see similar solutions in other languages like Kotlin, Go, Rust etc? Basically the React Native approach but without JS. I would love to write multiplatform native UIs in any of these languages.

I have nothing against Javascript but there are still a lot of weird limitations in RN despite being several years old. Writing smooth animations that support user interaction is difficult because it is still single threaded and you are limited to a declarative animation api where the underlying native runtime does the interpolation.

React-reanimated v2 tries to solve this by spawning JS worklets that can run animation code in another thread but that comes with its own caveats. This would be so much easier to do in a language with built in threading, not to mention all these languages are very ergonomic and loved by developers so I'm curious why something similar hasn't been tried for them yet.
I grew up fairly poor in a large family. One of the constants was that something important was always broken but we couldn’t afford to fix it just then - a car, the washing machine, the computer; a couple times, the electricity. We went on DIY camping vacations. There was always a vague notion that we were on the brink of insolvency. (But through some supreme act of will my parents always found money for music lessons.) As kids we learned that if we wanted something, we had to find the money. The clever siblings would win contests with cash prizes, $100, $250. The rest of us had various side hustles like neighborhood snow shoveling and leaf blowing…

This process was short-circuited immediately for those of us who went into tech. It’s the new gold rush; you really can go west and seek your fortune. Remarkable times.

Post about visiting with the trucker protest in Canada.

I’m supportive of their protest. Most of the other physicians I’ve talked to in my field are vaccinated, boosted, and will continue to get boosted (same as me). But forcing or coercing medical treatments is a violation of patient autonomy and medical ethics. No matter how much benefit it may bring.

I wouldn’t say this in a public setting because I’m self interested and don’t want my career negatively affected. Sorry, I’m in debt.
There are so many different languages, that we stopped making any progress!

I work on a consumer facing mobile app and have found great success in including a short unique code along with any error messages. This has been helpful to diagnose errors where the same message can appear in a variety of different scenarios, and has significantly improved the user's ability to accurate report errors.

When looking at user complaints, I find that users often report error messages by paraphrasing them. An error message like "XYZ failed to initialize" often ends up being reported as "the app is not initializing" (which naturally could mean a number of things). By modifying this error message to include a code such as "XYZ failed to initialize (CODE-ABCD)", I've found that user behaviour shifts to including the code as opposed to the error message itself. Users instead say things like "I'm receiving CODE-ABCD" which is infinitely more helpful as a developer or consumer facing customer service personnel.

This reminds me of PHP's "T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM" error which, despite being completely unintelligible, was very quick to resolve due to its uniqueness.

I'm not strongly in favor of voter id laws (the deep blue area I live in has them). I just think it's dishonest to refer to them as "voter suppression". And I agree that there's no evidence of substantial voter fraud.
The fed is quasi public too? It’s actually less public than the postal service, the postal service is a fully public agency, the fed is partially governed by private banks.
It would be interesting to see how these "3 percenters" would do living in the mountains and eating bush meat for five years.
I think it certainly can be that significant or more. Someone else mentioned Facebook cofounder Eduardo Saverin. At IPO, Zuckerbergs's equity was down to 28% and Eduardo had been diluted down to 2%.

That is a co-founder of a high profile unicorn with continuous growth. Now imagine what can happen to employee # 1000 at a shady middle cap startup struggling to get to market.
Because the people pushing for voter ID don't actually care about voter ID, they care about maintaining the current inequality in ability to vote.
Putting on my "user" hat, a stack trace is a just a long winded way of saying "ABEND" or "core dumped".
Ah, but that is not what he wrote. He never claimed the toilet was broken because he was broke, but due to bad organisational skills.

He then used the story to illustrate the fact that such things can become fond memories, and related _that_ fact to poverty.

At least, that is how I understand the text.
> There is no solid evidence that voter id laws have any impact on voter fraud... Describing them as "anti-voter fraud laws" is literally true but dishonest and dishonesty is bad.

Agreed. Republicans talking about widespread "voter fraud" are liars.
Yea -- I was taught about this in my first year Cybernetics course in the 1990s; the idea that there was an AI crisis is overcooked but it definitely tipped the entire industry towards expert systems.

Both BeeWare and Kivy are great projects adressing a space that could surely produce some very interesting applications. Offering seamless integration of the versatile python stack on mobile devices would be a game changer as far as I am concerned, turning the mobile more into a computing device as opposed to merely facilitating the fastest click to the cloud.

They seem under-resourced, though, especially BeeWare. Targeting platforms that do not support python natively feels like a task that would challenge even much larger teams
You really don't need a 270 usd device for particle count.

A PM2.5 particle count sensor is like 25 bucks and temp/humidity/pressure another 10, so you can DIY this quite cheaply with a raspberry if so inclined.

I’ve only ever used the Apple trackpad with a Mac.

The Fingerworks trackpad worked great with Windows. Basically you map gestures to keyboard shortcuts (it came with a bunch out of the box), so anything you can do with key combos, you can do with gestures instead: app switching, opening and closing things, cut/copy/paste, etc.
Yes. Start from an open processor architecture and one of the open toolchains, use the open subset of an OS. Storing other people's data on it is still subject to legislation (I assume, but would verify, that storing your own data is fine).

How does a craft brewery help with beer tax?

Anyway I think four breweries including Norway's oldest isn't too bad for a town of 65 thousand. That's more than the English town I come from that has more than three times the population
This is the kind of comment that I fucking hate the most. You've attacked OP with a stupid, bad-faith presumption that has nothing to do with their simple and straightforward statement.

In case I have to spell it out for you, yes, OP can simultaneously disagree with Feinstein and with multiple other politicians.
Meta: It’s so awesome how many of these hobbies are essentially free these days. For example,

You already have a computer and all of the best languages and libraries are free so programming is now free.

You already have a quality camera on your phone and you don’t have to buy film and have it developed and print it on physical paper so photography is now free.

So much of the world’s literature is now available online for free, sometimes not-so-legal, but if you live in a poor country or out in the woods reading is free too.

If you want to learn about new hobbies or watch others do then beautifully then YouTube has amazing videos to watch. More than you could consume in a lifetime.

What a time to be alive!
IMHO the key to avoid regressions is to have automated tests and to update tests for every bug and bug fix.

To detect bugs early means to test early, that is, to invest in unit and integration tests.

You can explain all you want, but if you're pretending we live in a country where earning $200k is common and achievable for most people, you're living in a fantasy land. No wonder people don't support more efforts to address income inequality if they don't even understand what realistic income is for most people.
I know plenty of mathematicians who insist 0 ∈ ℕ. It's a bit of a joke, like arguing over tabs vs. spaces though.

May I recommend you this fabulous short essay by Dijkstra: https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD08xx/E...

It has nothing to do with memory layouts.
I have one like that, and having a MBP retina driving it below it, I can't not notice the pixels on the 4k monitor. I wish we could have more options either 24@4K or 27@5K. Having a retina display next to it makes the differences quite apparent.

Oh, Dart is my favorite part of Flutter. It's a language that is very easy to learn and use, no surprises, it's performant (performant enough), and you can use it on web, server and as command line apps, too. The language has gotten significantly better and the Dart team focuses on the right issues to solve next.
While that may be true, I would caution about thinking that hunger promotes intelligence in the long term in any way.

I'm not an expert but I would confidently bet that the effects of malnutrition on cognitive ability FAR outweigh this hormonal effect.
How many people that aren't truckers just happen to have that kind of truck laying around for the occasional protest? Are you aware of the cost of a truck like that?
Currently there doesn't appear to be any evidence that GMO is bad for your health and most GMO is just transplanting genes from other edible organisms.

Hopefully regulators aren't going to allow insertion of engineered genes producing novel molecules without going through actual medical grade trials for those molecules. Or it may torpedo the entire industry.
> This scary slide towards people feeling that they know what is best for everyone else is extremely un-Democratic.

No it's not. Undemocratic would be a few prohibiting many from harming themselves. Even the majority prohibiting something would still be democratic. Democracy is not the same thing as libertarianism.

Wanting others to live healthier lives and saying that aloud has nothing to do with any form of government at all. I don't need to live in a dictatorship to talk about the dangers of alcohol, obesity, or facebook.
> The military knows exactly the hell it will be entrenched in if it ever goes against the public's wishes. They literally wrote the book.

The entire public’s wishes, yes. Now consider what would have happened if the military leadership hadn’t resisted the call to join the January 6th insurrection — it’s much easier to imagine something like 90s Serbia where a substantial fraction of the population hopped up on propaganda supports the military efforts and will keep their neighbors from forming an effective resistance.

No, they aren't. I was disputing GP's generalized claim that preventing publishing is "about as close as you can get to something absolutely forbidden under American law", not this specific case.
C'mon now ... This is inappropriate at the very least.
Use whatever you know best. I'd use firebase and google cloud stuff because I know how to get something working with them quickly. My personal stack would be: Firebase for storage, cloud functions with python if logic was simple and mostly client side, Flask in a VM if I thought it would need more complicated stuff (like image processing) on the server side. Bootstrap and Angular for the front end. But there's no strong reason for those other then these are proven, I know them already, there are plenty of equivalent options.

Recently I've been playing with Blazor+WASM and that's looking really promising and allows sharing C# code between client and server (and potentially a native desktop app as well), and to me is more ergonomic to program in, but I haven't used it for anything non-trivial yet.
I wish that 4:3 monitors would come back, my personal dev setup uses a 23" 16:9 monitor in the middle with one 17" 4:3 on each side for a total of three. Three 16:9 monitors are too wide for me to work comfortably (have to turn both my body and my head) and two 16:9s have the bezel in the middle and require me to have my head skewed constantly when working. I've tried using vertically oriented 16:9 monitors on the side, but I find I need to move my head up and down too much for my tastes.
I thought they were talking about in general and threw in a personal experience of themselves having corporal punishment. Some schools have done away with detention.
Just like user f0e4c2f7 said in the sibling comment, I'd advise you to check out hardware synthesizers if you are looking to create electronic music without being in front of a monitor. Maybe take a look at Teenage Engineering's Pocket Operator line, a bunch of synthesizers in pocket calculator size. They are extremely limited but if you know how to work them they can create suprisingly complex tunes ranging from hip-hop beats and R&B to industrial and hard techno; and of course everything in between.

Currently I am toying around a lot on an Elektron Model:Cycles, a roughly Letter-sized FM-Synthesizer (Frequency Modulation) box that harnesses great potential, much more than I can dream of using right now; but it's a journey, right?

Beware, it's easy to fall into the rabbit hole of modular synthesizers because they allow the maximum degree of control, meaning full, over the sounds you can call into existance.

In essence, it is trust based. Whether or not this trust will break down if the ticket you buy wins $50 million. As long as it acts as agent and does not transport the tickets across state lines it claims extralegality. It buys tickets you finance and redeems the $$ to the winners. I do not know if it participates in the winnings with any fee or cut?
Once asked, the state might limit it, but it also has many other legal agents = local stores
They won't. If you ever flew in these small aircraft, you know that they are extremely susceptible to weather conditions, and can be easily grounded due to rain, snow, strong winds or extremely hot weather.
Even ignoring the heavy batteries giving them range that's barely acceptable, you'd still need to pay pilot's salaries per every few passenger, a major cost even when divided between the far larger amount of people flying on an airliner.
Making it harder for people to vote is literally voter suppression. You might argue that it is ineffective voter suppression, but I don't think you can argue that adding unnecessary steps to voting, and making penalties for making mistakes harsher while making it easier to make mistakes, is anything else.
UB = undefined behaviour.

You can write code that is valid as in "can be compiled" but outside of C++ standard. It is duty of programmer to not have those, as compiler usually assumes that there's no UB in your code and can do unintuitive things with optimizations.

e.g

int foo(int8_t x) {
x += 120
return x;
}

int bar(int8_t y) {
int z = foo(y);
if (y > 8) {
do_important_thing(z);
}
}

`do_important_thing` may be optimized out because:

1. signed overflow is a UB. Compiler than assumes that everything passed to foo is less than 8;

2. We pass y to foo => y < 8

3. if branch can then be optimized out
Helmets, and other protective equipment, works, so it may help you to survive many kinds of incidents: road incident, train wreck, fall from sky, etc. There is no doubt.

However, cycling to work is the safest mean of transportation per km traveled.

Nobody will force me to do downhill on a bike without full gear on, because I can fall, puncture my artery, and then bleed out in 2 minutes. One of my earliest memories is: I'm laying on the ground on my back and watching as my bike flying over me, like in slo-mo.

However, I see no sense to wear a helmet when doing one of the safest routine on this planet. I had two road accidents (I hit another cyclist, I hit a safety pole with handlebar when a car in front of me suddenly closed the path for me) and a dozen near-misses while biking in about 40 years. I had much more near-misses in the city (dozens) when walking.
Management theorists for managing slaves and servants. Take the lessons you want from that.

But, that’s why the majority of us are called “wage slaves”, I guess. Hoarding of wealth by the owning class helps keep everyone else needing to work for cheap, simpler economy to have workers take care of their own housing and food in exchange for the needed money.

I doubt they were the first. This is just history being written by those who write it down, pre-written-historic is not pre-social (though writing expanded the social groups you could theorize about.)
I've recently switched from using a 15 or 17 inch laptop along with a 27 inch curved screen to a 13 inch laptop with a pair of 28 inch 4k flat screens, and am really liking it. I run Linux, and have various gnome extensions to allow for quick placement - main browser, second browser window for Comms stuff, slack, terminal, ide, etc. Combined with a dual monitor stand allowing me to grab a screen and move it closer for particular tasks, or further away for calls, and USB webcam and microphone for calls so people aren't looking at the side of my head while I'm watching them on a bigger screen, and it's a really productive setup.
That's a good point. I am curious if have been any cases where a majority shareholder has been locked up and run their business from prison.
That seems more likely to be because the GOP has rigorously cultivated a base that's advantaged by the electoral college.

It's just weird how much culture warring happens over this when most people are ambivalent at best, and the types of voting restrictions we're talking about don't have much of an impact on turnout.[0] I suppose everyone has to have a hobby, but I guess I kind of expect this stuff to track things that are salient to the populace.

The Python ecosystem does not monkey-patch, and in fact a lot of built-in classes do not support it.

Your point about Ruby syntax not really being meant for free functions is well-taken though.
Not writing as much software will result in reduced complexity going forward.

Sure, if someone built tens of industrial kitchens every month for regular families and just in the middle of nowhere (which is what i see a lot of in software) and then asked "how can I reduce my kitchen expenses" I would suggest "how about going forward you make your kitchens smaller and don't build them at all where nobody uses them?"
This varies state by state. In several states, teachers have to complete a masters degree within a certain number of years to keep their job.
My hobby is hobbies! I'm notorious for picking up new hobbies all the time. For me the enjoyment is diving into something as a beginner and building up a basic mastery. Normally, at that point it get a little bored and move on. Granted, i do not feel like a master of anything i pick up, but i feel like i have a grasp of the basics and enough to more fully enjoy the topic. For example when i was really into photography i took it to the level of building my own dark room and developing my film/prints. For me its all about the learning process and not necessarily even the end result i care about.

Current obsessions
- Leather working
- Watching making / repair

Prior hobbies
- kayaking
- homebrew (beer)
- making bread
- lock picking
- various electronics
- photography
- knitting
- welding
- every programming language ever
- wood working

If you are interested in any of these i'm happy to chat you up
Not OP. In many cases, the genetic modifications are either performed to either let the plant produce (more) lectins that kill insects, or make the plant immune to certain herbicides like glyphosate. The human gut and microbiome might be able to deal with lectins they have evolved to deal with, and in “normal” quantities. But those additional GMO lectins are suspected to be hard on the intestinal barrier. If that barrier is compromised, autoimmunity might be the result, as OP indicated.
For many people taking a range of medications, especially mental-related medications, eating grapefruit can cause a large range of negative side effects. Several medications will become inert in the presence of citric acid and vitamin C. Oranges, if eaten at the appropriate times during their medication regimen (usually an hour after or before medication), is usually safe. Fiber is also important, but it can also absorb medications and render them inert if taken at the wrong times. Fiber is usually safe two hours before or after medication, which can be difficult to orchestrate, depending on medication regimens.
