I built an editor for creating visualisations for an LED grid hardware project. The editor was built in QML (but with lots of C++). It had a grid visualising the LEDs as squares (I believe that was drawn, iirc, not using QML rectangles) And a timeline track editor where you could place effects (four tracks), drag them around, drag their length, select effects to edit their properties in a properties label etc.

Whole thing was built in about 3 days and I would say it was a huge success (visualisation crested with it was used at a gig of about 1.2k attendees and creating the editor meant being able to iterate quickly to create a visualisation the musicians were happy with, LEDs were attached to clothing). I certainly enjoyed the experience.

Doing it in Qt meant that I could write C++ code to “run” the visualisation, but with a different display implementation (editor version drew to the editor, hardware version outputted to the LED hardware, but the track runtime was the same code). QML made building the UI easy.

Nowadays I mainly do React-based web UI’s, but I still much prefer QML to html/react/css. I especially miss QML’d anchors for layouts.
I use plastic bins and desiccant packets in a tropical environment but not together; the lids on standard plastic bins are too loose-fitting for this to work. The packets will be too rapidly spent. If you get the kind with color-changing pellets to tell you how saturated the packet is, it's obvious. You need something that's actually airtight. Best is if you can vacuum seal the item together with some desiccant packets. Second best is a Ziploc bag.

But for books, this is all a bit too much effort for me, too. Kindles don't mold.

Mito looks interesting! Regarding the sin, I don't think it entirely applies here, unless I'm misunderstanding you - I'm not super familiar with transpilers.

In this case the template is also ruby code, but with placeholders for the values. So both the template and the input get parsed into ASTs, then both of them are recursively walked and compared on the fly. During that walk it builds up the data structure with initial values.

In the code generation direction it walks one AST and does lookups and rewrites with values from the values.

Does that make sense?

Why getting a job isn't a ticket out of poverty
Poverty is multidimensional; but to put it simply, it is one's inability to meet their basic needs and wants. So, food, shelter, clothing, primary education and sanitation—are collectively referred to as welfare. When an individual cannot afford these needs, the person is considered poor. The lack of access to these needs and wants can be monetary or non-monetary. It's monetary when the person does not have the money to afford these things and non-monetary when non-financial barriers prevent you from accessing these needs, like geographical limitations, culture and more.

MacOS's quirks don't really bother me much, except one:

1. Open a terminal on screen 1.
2. Open a terminal and a browser on screen 2.
3. Be using the terminal on screen 1.
4. Cmd-Tab to the browser.
5. Cmd-Tab to "go back"

MacOS will switch to the terminal... on screen 2.

Drives me nuts.
If you want unions, socialized healthcare, public services and the other trappings of European societies you need to start thinking about immigration and demographics. The very high levels of immigration (both legal and illegal) into the US is what makes it difficult for workers to exercise leverage because they can easily be replaced by people who will work for much less compensation. Ethnically diverse workforces are also less likely to unionize (e.g. this is a factor Amazon looks at when assessing unionization risk). It seems to me that socialist policies can only work in relatively ethnically homogeneous societies, which is what you see in Europe. Although that is now changing there too: it will be interesting to see whether they are able to maintain generous social services in the face of major demographic change.
> HomeBrew has failed to have a package the fewest times of any I've used ...

Not that I doubt your claim but MacPorts has more packages than Homebrew:

Homebrew - around 6031 packages (https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/)

MacPorts - 29,128 packages (https://ports.macports.org/)

(Ofcourse, more doesn't imply it has all the newer and / or popular packages or that Homebrew has the same packages as in MacPorts, which could explain your experience).
I think it means Standford Graduate School of Business, and Harvard Business School.

I don't know anyone under 40 who died, period. But I know four people over 40 (actually over 60) who died of Covid in the past two years. Even though they are older, it still felt like a crisis.
The use of mercury laxatives may make for a rather funny scene though. Much like the scene in Blazing Saddles where they are sitting around a campfire eating beans. Not that Lews&Clark expedition would make a great comedy.
AOL would let you play wav files in a chat room that everyone, who had that file on their system, would hear.

To be honest, I don't mind cube farms per se as much as densification.

As long as you have a certain number of square feet and things aren't bolted down, you can still exercise a certain amount of control over your environment. You can rotate your desk to face a different way, put up pictures or a coat rack, what have you.

It's when you start getting squeezed in the minimal legal square footage that all the options start to go away -- you literally can't move your desk without disrupting the entire floor, you can't add a bookshelf and any plants or pictures need to fit on your suspiciously narrow desk.

Sure, cube farms have many of the other problems of noise pollution, minimal privacy, and bad lighting, but as long as you have your own cube, or a cube with few enough people to haggle over rearranging, and a few extra square feet it's still possible to put your stamp on it.
Yes, but the states have a sovereignty that is equal to each other. They aren’t allowed to make conduct illegal that occurs in other states. Even if it was legal it’s not part of being a cohesive country.

The post I responded to originally implied that having the federal government enforce standards would lead to “The long term disintegration” of the country. I am pointing out that without the federal government enforcing standards we are already seeing states set up a long term disintegration of the country.
Instead of poor people and bread and cake it’s now.

I get really bad migraines when I fast sometimes, a random youtube video I came across suggested it might be from a mineral deficiency and suggested taking some Himalayan salt and to my surprise it works really well for me, knocks out my migraine within an hour every time.
I've been really worried about whether COVID has affected my brain. I had very mild loss of smell and flu like symptoms (I contracted COVID before the vaccine was available). I also had what felt like brain fog as well afterwards. I'm fine now, but I often spend time worrying about whether I've had a drop in cognitive functions post-COVID. I hate that it's impossible to really gauge how it affected my brain. My brain is my most important work asset (I'm a SWE) and I hate the idea of losing a few IQ points to COVID that could diminish my ability to create.

Honestly, this was just my gut and I've felt prices were artificially low for the past decade or so - maybe because of globalization and offshore manufacturing, and things are really just catching up to what they're actually worth. You can elect a guy that will "decouple" from China and trash international trade deals...but don't expect low prices 4 years later...

I have been to restaurants where you see the menu using a QR code and also place an order and pay over the website. I do not like this because, first it seems like its more self serve and there's no service really except bringing the food from the kitchen and I am still expected to pay the same 10-20% tip and second, I am afraid we are perhaps headed towards restaurant analytics, impressions/views for menu items etc, and perhaps the online retailer behavior of not being able to pay without adding a card on file and all the dark UX patterns that come with it.
There's a great book by the historian Stephen Ambrose on the Lewis & Clark expedition. He mentions the use of mercury. He says they tended to use mercury to treat a whole variety of ailments. Mostly because they had nothing else to use. They also had many skin problems during the journey from not eating enough vegetables.

>Looks more like you don’t want to use the word interesting independent of other feelings you may have about the topic.

>If you want to understand the world and this topic with more nuance than a teenage hippy sayin “nukes bad Mann”

These comments are incredibly and egregiously pointless, wrong, rude, condescending and dismissive, don't do this. I know about the story and a lot of the history of the war and I still don't find it interesting, sorry. It's just depressing and angering to study, even though it is very necessary to study for a valid historical perspective and even though a lot of it was very inevitable from what the war had already escalated to. That's where you've very badly lost the plot.
Not 100% sure on this but humans have two ways to metabolise alcohol, with one that results in hangover and other where liver breaks alcohol in one go, meaning it doesn’t release internediate product back into blood, triggering hangover symptoms. Proportion between those two differs from human to human and with age.

Downside of being in „mostly second group” is high risk of liver scarification.
>but the rest of the world could easily outfit a corner of a room to a better standard than most corporate offices.

I disagree. Most people don't make enough money to have on room they can dedicate to work. In germany where I live rent is so expensive that for a single person a 2 room apartment is the standard. You basically need 3 rooms which means you're paying significantly more rent unless you live in very rural areas.
> Speakers gain credibility and respect by [...]

Do you mean only at the local level, individually? Because it sure isn't hard to find extremely popular speakers with a great deal of influence that run counter to most of those points. It is hard not to conclude that the only thing that scales well in social media is to correctly deduce what most people want to hear, and then say it. People don't care about deception, good advice, good faith discussion, none of that, so long as you confirm the biases they already hold.

People really want to be told they are right, and were always right.
> UI based flows for integrations are as bad

Right but in the same breath we should mention all code is terrible.
> good suit always costs 1 ounce of gold

This is clever. One can vary the value of "good" to fit any asset. Taken in good faith, I'm curious about the suit discounts I missed between 2013 and 2016, when gold lost value (relative to the dollar).

> value of gold is invariant

Axiomatic arguments work for anything. Bagel is invariant. All price relative to bagel. One breakfast sandwich always costs one bagel.

The benefit for me has been the ability to skim books. I'd love to learn there was an alternative way to skim or form an opinion about a book, before buying.

Normally I would treat buying nonfiction as something worthwhile. But buying a book related to software is often a great way to purchase something irrelevant six months later. O'Reilly enables me to check out new stuff, form opinions about the keepers, and read about the latest stuff that I know will be replaced very soon but is in hot demand right now.

Would you elaborate how do you program GUIs in PureBasic? I noticed there are multiple ways to do that: positioning each gadget manually, coding XML, using visual GUI designer, more?

Also, how are things on macOS? They mention full Cocoa coverage in the documentation.
"The notion that these institutions were ever trustworthy is the remnants of whatever messaging you've internalized from them."

You can, but I wonder do the operating conditions of the river actually allow it for a great number of plants? Or are they hemmed in by needing to always have a certain flow in the river plus/minus 10%.
At some point in my life I stopped drinking soda regularly, so maybe there is some factor there. I could never identify why on one particular day, I would get a migraine vs any other day. The only constant factor was that it always seemed to happen on a weekend. There were some days where I would feel it coming on, and tried getting up and out doing something as much as I could. This tended to help a bit, but typically by evening I would still have some form of migraine.
> Possibly you haven't taken a literal enough read of what is being said here, but businesses don't ever get "more greedy". The greed capped out centuries ago. It cannot increase. It is impossible for it to get worse. It is at the human limit, and has been basically forever.

I don’t agree with this premise, at least not in the context of the United States. You can even see in recent history where the greed amplified in the 80’s with the phrase “greed is good” becoming popular or that myth about how businesses have a legal requirement to pursue profit over everything got into the American psyche after that case against Henry Ford.

Fuck, charging interest on loans used to be considered a sin in western culture. We explicitly have seen greed change in magnitude.
Pretty sure its all legal, we're very rural. In this county you don't need building permits or anything. I think they began insisting on inspection of septic and well installations 20 and 10 years ago, respectively; but other than that its pretty free-for-all.
Auto-inserting while typing is not a good option, IMO, for the reason you mention, and I tend not to like forms that do this sort of thing.

Let the user type in the postcode and when they submit you can parse it as a whole maybe just in the backend, insert the space and display with the space from then on. Simple.
Thanks great to hear!

I run a high double digit YoY growth company. We use boring tech as much as possible. Sure we lean into some automation, etc, but only when it really makes sense. Your example is probably too much risk for us. We do most of our work as monolithic docker images running in DO App Platform with managed PostgreSQL. Deploys, CI/CD, etc are all in GH Actions. Most code is Typescript to keep it simple and accessible. A lot of the dev work is also tracked in GH Issues. Dev is done Kanban so you finish your work, pull the next item from the list, and keep pushing on. Very few meetings, etc.

Being told you should feel guilty for being a particular race is as valid as being told you should be proud for it.

Moderates stepping into arguments about racism made by extremists (on both sides) might not realize how bigoted the idea of "racism" itself is. Those on the left argue that the "oppressing" race should feel guilty, not just that no one should feel pride in their race.
You are describing my positions today. FML
Nah, this headline is just wrong.

The standard way to formulate YoY changes is what GP said, or "Consumer prices rose 8.5% in the year ending in March".

The MoM change for March is a hefty 1.2% in its own right.
