Will do. Currently building up a doc and comparison matrix along with test deploys.

Platform.sh looks promising. Render was a breeze to setup, loading our ENVs was the longest task.
I'd see it more as a cultural reference to spring as the season of new growth and more frenetic activity. Where in the preceding winter, food would be stored and activity minimized, spring means a comparative abundance of food. (Tangent: I'd love to see whether the decreased use of seasonal metaphors is correlated with the prevalence of refrigeration. Spring is less culturally relevant now, with refrigeration reducing the fear of starving in the winter and increasing availability of seasonal produce.)

For a humorous comparison, see "The Lusty Month of May", from the 1960 musical "Camelot". (Link to a good performance: https://youtube.com/watch?v=t--e0S5kelY ). It's basically an entire song about how great it is that spring is here, because spring is a wonderful time for sex.
NAL, but surely they put something in the ToS that says you aren't allowed to do that. And even if you're 100% sure it's unenforceable, are you willing to defend your company against Google's army of lawyers? Scraping data from the web may be legal in many places, but that says nothing about what you're allowed to do with that data (hint: usually not much unless it's your own user data).

Having said all that, I've done this in the past for a few side projects where I wasn't selling anything and knew they would never in a million years get big enough to attract Google's attention. For those, this is definitely a good way to get 3D data (along with OSM Buldings, if you don't care about realism and just want a good approximation)
I'd argue: money well spend. Also, smaller schools usually perform better when it comes to student success.
Why does Tauri say "faster" or "blazing fast"? I think it has same limitations as Electron, or did I miss something?
I would honestly prefer flutter instead of relying on system web view and all of its inconsistencies
That's the core of the issue. Instead of addressing rhetoric at a face value, people put their projection of disagreement into your words and judge you by that.

After all, what is the difference between people who use "all lives matter" as a thinly veiled excuse for discrimination and people who use "it's a pride month and you're homophobic" as an excuse to attack you when asked to stay on technical topic?

Addendum: I believe "affirmative action" is a major step towards dismantling freedom of speech.

It is until after I got better at English and started immerse into the Western medium of discourse, that it became apparent that my beliefs of equality by judging people upon their virtues/vices are considered wrong by many who prefer to insist on categorizing people only by their superficial features and use that as a basis of the debate.
It’s really depressing to me that there are people on this site who spend their time on this earth sneering at other people’s passion projects in thread after thread because of the language being used. People notice that and it affects their decision to share their work.

Well I agree that it is already a good tradeoff, being able to offload the most intensive tasks to Rust, which is really performant. However my perspective is that of a C++ developer already, so I like Rust as a "better C++"... it's just that I'm not sure others will see it with such kind eyes :-)

On a tangent, I've been forced to learn and use Swift the last couple weeks, and to my surprise it has been a delight! If it had a more cross-platform spirit, I think I might have found a new favorite of mine for general application development.

Open-Source Spotlight about Qdrant vector search engine
In the latest Open-Source Spotlight episode, Kacper Lukawski, a Developer Advocate at Qdrant, and Alexey Grigorev, the founder of DataTalksClub, discussed how Qdrant vector search engine works, applying for visual & faceted search, its tech stack, roadmap, and more.
I find it odd that when talking about inflation or moral hazard people bring up money spent given to individuals but not about the trillions spent given to businesses. I think it is immoral for a country as wealthy as the United States to have so many people with medical debt. There should be universal, almost free healthcare. The moral imperative is far more important to me than considerations about inflation.
Why? Paid or unpaid the space downtown is used for cars. OP may believe that’s wrong.

I don’t think it’s the case that you can’t find a land use undesirable just because it generates income.
Related to this how does one report Crypto draining scam scripts being posted on Github now that Microsoft owns GitHUb?
There are two flaws with your argument. First, it’s actually somewhat unlikely that lithium ion batteries are going to be the cheapest grid storage. Second, natural resources almost always get cheaper to extract as demand increases, especially when they’re not actually scarce (there’s tons of Lithium out there).
> I became very materialistic growing up in poverty.

Currently trying to introspect on this one myself. I'm really not sure how to "get over it".
This greatly varies between ISPs. We too have such a whitelist for wfh. Some people have had the same IP for years. Others have a different IP every week, sometimes even more frequently.
This is false, with every electron app, you're loading ~200MB into RAM to handle the main browser process.

With neutralino you're using the system main process, so you're only spawning a new browser thread.
Does anyone know how to tell the FB "pixel" to stop sending the query string to Facebook?

Facebook now alerts you if you're sending what looks like PII to them in the query string, e.g. parameters named "first_name", but after extensive Googling I couldn't find any way to tell the FB code to strip off the query string before sending conversion events back to the mothership.

It's not exactly easy, but with Google Analytics it's at least possible to redact the URL before it gets attached to the transmitted event.

The only thing I could think of was to do for Facebook was to use a redirect (or the History API) to strip the query off the URL before loading the FB pixel, but this will break any other embeds that are relying on query params for e.g. form-filling.
Fair point, yep. Generalizing your statement slightly:

> Be generous if you expect additional <reward> to come from this generosity.

Options for reward could include (without being limited to): "profit", "platform adoption", "trust".. and those rewards often affect each other over time.
A rigger brush is specialized for lines - a "medium round (the pointy but wide-ish one)" is not, and will most definitely frustrate a beginner who is trying to do good consistent line work.

The first rule for choosing a brush should be to choose the correct one for the job. Sure, an experienced artist will have better brush control, but this guide is for beginners.
Done. The artist is dead.
> What's the point of mentioning Rust when the heavylifting is done by the system's webview widget, and applications are written in HTML/CSS/JS, just as in Electron?

That is true. It's basically exposing a Rust API and using FFI to the Desktop APIs. Nothing special going on apart from hype and marketing and possible over-promising on features.

> Isn't the whole point of Electron to have version/feature stability for the browser APIs by bundling a specific Chromium runtime?

Yes. The selling point here is that there are no fundamental rewrites needed for using Electron but only small Javascript / Typescript tweaks to get it up and running. This is why unfortunately Electron is used all the time despite the giant negatives. As with Tauri, it is basically a wrapper around the system Webview and using Rust FFI to the Desktop APIs.

I'd rather bet on Flutter Desktop as a possible long term Electron competitor.
Is there a limit to how much male and females can practically diverge in mammals?

I'm not at all schooled in genetics, so genuinely curious. But I could imagine that you can't have 2 genders of the same species that are completely different. Perhaps the neck length is such an attribute?
Quite the contrary. It is based on the obvious premise that it's a good idea to get vaccinated.

Just because it is well known that vaccines come with a tiny, tiny risk of some complication doesn't mean we should not take them. They save a lot more lives than they take.

is the same as

Just because it is well know that nuclear power come with a tiny, tiny risk of some complication doesn't mean we should not use it. It saves a lot more lives than it takes.
If people produce less, the tax intake will be lower, which makes the country less competitive internationally.

In particular, the smaller the GDP, the less military spending the country can support. If the country can not support a sufficient military spending owing to a lack of consumption (production), it will be conquered by someone who can, a bit like private equity buying out an unprofitable company with good potential. (c.f. Ukraine - very poor GDP, but decent possibilities for growth w.r.t. arable land, supply of young human capital, seaports, industry etc, thus currently undergoing hostile takeover)

> You assume people don't even consider saving somehow. Why is that?

There's no such thing as saving; if I save money, it's to consume it in the future eventually. So this has to cancel out over the long term.

If people are saving money and never withdrawing (e.g. never using the freedom bought by the past work to avoid future work), that's fine too, but if they withdraw it, it decreases national production, so it only works if people are prevented from withdrawing savings, at which point nobody would keep them.

Basically, people have to work, and this is the fundamental premise. That being said, the basic nature of the consumption is irrelevant. This is why digital services, gambling, and financial services are so important - it's much more socially efficient for people to dispose of $100 worth of money through slot machines or Netflix subscriptions or overdraft charges (all of which are effectively free to "produce" in terms of national resources) than by e.g. buying a new car, which requires actual steel and semiconductors and rubber and ... which require the expenditure of resources (land, labour, capital) in order to produce.
Here is another one https://github.com/wailsapp/wails powered by Golang, but both of tauri and wails do not support BrowserView like feature in Electron, which means you can not build a brave browser on top of them.

Depends on your skill set, wails maybe better, think building a UI based tailscale app, just make the embed web part display directly instead behind a http.Server with extra 3-5 MB
Just on Wickr itself. I wonder how secure it really is. Amazon only makes me suspicious.
I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out later that the algorithms implementation wasn't perfect. Or just straight out backdoor.

PGP is the gold standard but the ease of use wins again.
As it is written in rust, I believe this is a legal requirement.
> This is a "grass is greener over the fence" perspective.

Not really. Just because neighbors grass is greener, doesn't mean Linux grass isn't a black wilting mess.

> So, after some time it's borderline nitpicking IMHO.

Example of "nitpicking" I/colleagues ran into: Multi monitor support, HDR, DE bricking after update.

And due to Linux fractious nature even if one distro fixed it, another would still have that issue.

Here is a non-nefarious situation:

Let's say your side project is for a political party. Then, two years later, you apply for a job and the hiring manager is from a different political party, and has strong views on the matter. You don't get the interview.
I don't think you understand the cost of implementing such a solution.

"Free" (as in, your taxes) energy for all is very likely to entirely wreck the economy.

Not to mention there are costs involved with maintenance which make that energy not free. Even ignoring the huge debt incurred by implementing such a solution, who will pay for the maintenance? Our taxes again?

What are the benefits of not paying energy? What innovation is not happening because the pesky electricity has a cost?

Most likely it would just become the country of choice to run computations (whether meaningful research or pointless crypto mining) - if we ignore the gargantuan tax rate this country will have.

Being independent is valuable, that's why I think everybody should source their electricity independently (eg. solar)
My understanding is that VSCode uses it regardless of whether it's running locally or remotely. It's just an abstraction layer that happens to use web protocols for IPC instead of something local-only.
Actually abstracting your database would look like taking the lowest common denominator and assuming your database can only support that.

Unless you're building a piece of software where database agnosticism is actually a required feature, then I generally find it to be a very poor tradeoff. Databases are incredibly powerful, you should be using them to their fullest extent rather than purposefully handicapping yourself.
Nuclear (fission) generation is more expensive - but you have to compare apples-to-apples. Electricity production will be a mix of sources. Renewable / Sustainable tends to be variable - think solar, wind, and even hydroelectric to some degree. Exotic technologies like geothermal (land or sea based) may help with this, but we are a long way from having substantial production capability. Base load generation today largely consists of creating heat, boiling water, and spinning a turbine. We have decided that creating heat by burning carbon-based fuels has unacceptable externalities.

Given that, doesn't research and development into making fission safer and more affordable make sense?
> They were FUD and they still are.

Sorry, but take the horse blinders off.

If this kind of criticism coming from a long time user of Linux desktop (not as active nowadays because work is Windows, but most of my work is done in IDEs, browsers and through Cygwin anyway), FOSS supporter, etc is FUD, then boy, are you going to have a hard time fighting Microsoft's or Apple's marketing teams.

> 3) if you are not a beginner you should be able to maintain a desktop.

And therein lies the main rub :-)

Most people aren't able to "maintain a desktop". They don't really maintain either Windows, or MacOS. Most people are at best, "perpetual intermediates". Only a small fraction of users want or actually become power users. Most just trundle along trying their best to learn the least possible. And that's in every domain you can imagine.

This is the thing that will condemn Desktop Linux to being a niche product. That's fine, up to a point.
Usually it is considered good proportion to start with to be 10% to work on a Developer Productivity and it should increase to 15% as company grow.
But regarding source control it really depends on the approach: if you are on polyrepo - then 0 is enough. If you decide to write you own source control system like Facebook or Google, then maybe couple of hundred engineers full time until the project is finished :)

Trying to explore topics in arbitrary depth made me realize that I actually do not know anything.

I know that I know nothing. - Socrates

At some point, you need to be practical. Being overly philosophical robs your time.

In an absolute sense, one can be argued not to "know" anything, except for the existence of one's own thoughts, as 17th-century philosopher John Locke pointed out. Even earlier, Descartes addressed when saying cogito, ergo sum (I think, therefore I am). While Descartes was attempting to "prove" logically that the world exists, his legacy in doing so is to have shown that one cannot have such proof, because all of one's perceptions could be false (such as under the evil demon or simulated reality hypotheses). But one at least has proof of one's own thoughts existing, and strong evidence that the world exists, enough to be considered "proof" by practical standards, though always indirect and impossible to objectively confirm.

Huh. 10 gigabyte svn repo at work spanning about 40 projects.. Creating branches is virtually instantaneous. It's just a copy which is a free operation (just a link). Curious as to why it would be slow for you.
svn cp https:/ /server/svn/trunk/project/ https:/ /server/svn/branches/project/ticket -m "making a branch here"

svn status, even for an entire repo checkout (which is not common) is also fast.

And yeah, it has virtue of simplicity as well doing very well at narrow and shallow even though I'd love to have mercurial's feature set.

It's also rather good in the "wiki" situation since people can operate on their single files without needing to update, sync and merge.

A fun rant, even though git has gotten better-ish at large files.
Explaining my downvote: even if that's true it's considered mean-spirited and naive to say so because you really can't know the future. I don't need to remind you, as an example, Linux was a student project no one would have thought to succeed as it has.

How many people work on Developer Productivity in total and what is the percentage from the total engineering headcount?
A different business model that 1) requires less moderators and 2) makes money so you can pay the remaining moderators enough that they actually stick around for longer and are less prone to bribery.

1 can be achieved by making it costly to break the rules. If new accounts have fees and privileges that accumulate over time (such as being able to post links, upload media, etc basically anything that is prone to abuse) then people will be less likely to break the rules since creating a new account will cost them money and time having to "level up" the new account before it can be useful again. This raises the cost of spamming dramatically and will often make it unprofitable.

Stack Exchange has a model of this where new accounts with little "reputation" can't do much and are heavily rate-limited & unable to post links/images and gaining reputation involves contributing to the community which makes spam significantly harder. The same "reputation" system is used to encourage people to moderate the community (in a way that requires input from multiple people & fully transparent, so misuse is hard and will be easily detected).

2 involves making money which means "growth & engagement" goes out the window and you need to charge for the service. Not being based on "growth & engagement" means you can also achieve 1 because you can now be selective with the kinds of people & content you accept.

> it's easy to get somebody on the inside to get to know the inner workings of the moderation process.

Knowing the process shouldn't be a problem. Ideally the process should already be public - aka the list of "rules" one should abide by when joining the community.

This is a non-problem that forums from back in the day managed to solve on a much lower (often zero) budget. It's only a problem when your business model is "growth & engagement".
The Python extension itself is not closed source and is still maintained by the original developer that MS hired. It’s the language server that went from an OSS Microsoft project (that replaced the initial Jedi server) to the closed source LSP server.

Lock in doesn’t make sense to me. The main competition is Pycharm which has its own set of tooling.

I can somewhat understand the remote extensions being closed source considering they need to interface with a server. It makes no sense for Python.

My guess is that Pylance is also used within Visual Studio proper, and the VS product owners are pushing for closed addons.
It sounds like you're missing an opportunity to handle the SQS visibility yourself instead of leaning on the default handling.

If you interact with the SQS API from within your code (whether that's in your Lambda function or some other orchestration like a Step Function), the default handling ceases and you're in full control. Do this and you can now decide exactly and programmatically when a message is made visible again. While it's not the focus of his talk, there's a good example of SQS message visibility done properly here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I85MPC_5yXE&t=2614s

There's a companion book I enjoyed called Ulysses Unbound by Terence Killeen. It's quite terse: For each of the 18 episodes of Ulysses it gives a few pages of stylistic notes, a few on the Homeric parallels, a dramatis personae of the real people and events alluded to, and a translation of foreign terms.

I liked this style better than inline or footnoted annotations (except, perhaps, for the languages I can't read) as it encourages you to read and digest first, then get a second opinion from the annotator about what's going on.
