Do they contain penalty provisions beyond getting fired? They're meant to protect both the company and the people from the slightest risk of insider trading allegations, so in most cases violating the policies isn't actually illegal insider trading.

I’ve been down a remarkably similar path to yours, and I came to the conclusion that if you want native, cross-platform, low-footprint desktop apps, then Qt is honestly the only game in town.

I know there are other frameworks - imgui, for example, which uses GPU rendering for its widgets - but none that I’ve found check all the right boxes.

To me, those boxes are: “I want to write an app using one framework, and when it’s done, I want the person on Mac to think it was made with AppKit; the person on Windows to think it was made with UWP; the person on Ubuntu to think it was made with GTK.”

Qt is the closest I’ve found, and it’s still not totally what I want (not including it’s licensing scheme, which also is a huge turn-off).

It's not a question of intellect; adolescents are emotionally undeveloped. It's extremely straightforward for a manipulative adult to find an emotion they are struggling with and offer them comfort.

The exec may have 1001 different, arguably more important things to do. That has nothing to do with how the exec acts. Hell, maybe I have 1002 today. I’m too busy to count, and why are we measuring?

Why exactly is it that shit rolls down hill? Because we are told that’s how it works. And to toughen up and get over it.

That is one option. Not the only one.

The exec doesn’t deserve kid gloves either. So that doesn’t seem relevant. Nobody deserves kid gloves. Decent behavior is not kid gloves.

It isn’t toughening up to allow others to act like children. But again, the language is used deliberately. The problem is conveniently your not toughening up - not someone else being an ass.

> People who made those exact arguments 10-20 years ago where wrong, since those plants would have prevented a lot of coal, oil and gas from being burned. Those people have both blood and an ongoing climate crisis on their hands.

Perhaps. But 10-20 years ago, solar/wind/storage was a lot more expensive and a lot less efficient. The situation is quite different now.

> Who should we blame in 10-20 from now if people still are burning coal, oil and gas? Who will take responsibility for the inaction?

Realistically, there will probably still be knuckleheads who will be burning coal, oil and gas in 10-20 years from now. But hopefully they will be a very small minority.

The main thing that gives me hope is that it is now so much cheaper to build/run renewables than fossil fuel plants, that the latter will be phased out sooner rather than later, just for economic reasons. Those 6 out of touch old people on the supreme court are trying to delay things - and their actions will have very bad consequences for all of us - but the trend is clear.
Wait until they’re back home so you don’t ruin a good memory for them, at a minimum, I would think.
> Realistic if your approach to the problem is one of barbarism.

To be fair, the history of humanity is overwhelmingly marred by barbarism. When it comes to establishing and maintaining governance, humanity appears to have a penchant for isolating and punishing groups that fall outside of the in-crowd.

For instance, look at heavily policed neighborhoods populated mostly by low income families. Are those neighborhoods really so different from the megastructure block housing units in the movie Dredd? The only thing that really changed from here to there is the population density.

I've used Meshtastic as small (5000-ish person) festivals, and even with higher bandwidth settings and stock rubber ducky antennas, ground to ground ranges through trees and people of around 1km worked just fine (with the expected shadows behind hills). This was only a small number of devices, I have no idea how badly performance would drop off if 10% or 50% of the attendees were trying to tx/rx Meshtastic or LoRaWAN signals.

you can't really compare iridium to purely geostationary operators as a business model, however, something LEO based that support very small L/S-band modems and handheld size terminals, embedded modems is very different than a company that only owns C/Ku/Ka band geostationary satellites and makes most of its revenue from selling transponder kHz.

iridium is truly unique in that in the pre-starlink era it has been literally the only, true global pole-to-pole coverage LEO network. the trade off has been that the original network architecture of it was designed for very low data rates, so just highly compressed voice and low rate data only.

even the second generation iridium network which is now operational is still very limited in IP data rates.

you're still not going to get a starlink terminal to be as compact as a very small iridium modem and L/S-band portable antenna.

I think you're missing the fact that a huge chunk of a vehicle's lifetime emissions are just in the manufacturing alone. And EVs are much more energy intensive to manufacture. Mostly this is due to the batteries. Which also have to be replaced every decade

Because of this alone, there are many EVs that are still worse for the environment than many gas-powered vehicles

38%[0] of an EVs emissions are in the manufacturing alone. Ultimately, the best thing you can do for the environment is still to STOP BUYING NEW CARS

> If a distro choose a build system to base their package manager off of, and you are on that distro when they make the change, their choice does not affect your use of another build system, unless your build system does not come installed by default, in which case, you install it and then continue as normal.

> But if your distro changes the init, you're in for a long period of relearning and retooling everything.

Depends on your distro's tooling and focus. At some point in the past, NixOS actually did switch away from OpenRC (IIRC) to systemd, supposedly without all that much fuss for end users.

On the other hand, migrating away from using Nix for builds would be a huge, huge deal and a big controversy to NixOS users.

It seems more of a question of supply and demand than a limitation of their technology. If the competition currently charges more than $5000, why should they charge (much) less?
Yes. And this is precisely it’s benefit. This is by design. Safe guards are artificial, and ultimately distort markets. Extremely volatility is present right now, because this asset class is so new and poorly understood.

Some of us want to play with the safety off. Life is a dark forest. We pretend it isn’t with “safeguards” but they only mask its true nature.
Went through similar feelings a few years ago. Ended up going old school with C++ and wxWidgets as UI library. Felt to me like the best balance between

- wanting a single code base that I could compile for Mac/Win/Linux

- startup times measured in milliseconds

- snappy and native looking UI

- a executable size of 10MB (Mac) / 17MB (Win) / 12MB (Linux).

The bulk of that exe size is the wxWidgets UI library I statically compiled in. If you wanted to get that crispy couple of hundred kilobyte sized binary you'd probably have to directly use the native UI API of each platform, and therefore be in for not being able to reuse very much between each platform. (github.com/allanrbo/filesremote if anyone wants to see the result)

Real desktop app development feels like a dying art. (And arguably my use of wxWidgets made it not even "real real"). And I feel like it's not even harder than trying to shoehorn the web dev tools into desktop apps with things like Electron. It's just different and sort of forgotten it seems :-)

Would it be one full electron process for each window ?

That would be quite a load if the user decides each current pane is now an independent window on the screen.

I remember JVM apps hitting this same issue. There are many ways to make two entities talk together (if IPC wasn't an option, a local IP channel would work as well, albeit way more costly), but then the performance would be abysmal, for apps that were already handicapped. Same process windows are way lighter than that.
Anecdotally, I find non-4K displays incredibly uncomfortable to use after using a 4K one for my desktop for 2 years.

You can certainly do that, but it wouldn’t be good enough. It’s like spear phishing, it doesn’t matter that 90% of people recognize the attempt and report it, the 10% that doesn’t is absolutely unacceptable (at least when you transplant it to Roblox).

Policymaking is not frictionless. Certain important concepts serve as Schelling points where resistance can be focused, and once policy moves beyond that point, those harmed by various subsequent changes will have narrower coalitions supporting their side.

While I agree that multi-tenant urban housing is lacking in America, the real question seems to be why no other American city has made significant progress on catching up to the Northeast corridor. I don't think that Washington DC is the prime example of the problem. If anything, it's the only city in America to have a true European feel due to the height constraints. When I lived in NYC, the dense skyscrapers of Manhattan were very constricting compared to Brooklyn, where I ended up moving. Manhattan is great for office buildings but less as a relaxing abode outside the Village. Even Shanghai & San Paolo has more space between large buildings with room for light, trees, sky.

> That only applies to higher management, who would know of impending layoffs.

Nope, that applies to anyone for whom the employment offer says it applies to.

At the previous company I worked at, we had no such rule. At the current one I work for, it applies to all software engineers. At plenty other companies, including FAANG companies like Google, it applies to all software engineers as well. Apple, for example, also doesn't allow you to trade AAPL derivative options in any way whatsoever (so you aren't allowed on your own free time and even using your own money to trade puts and calls).

In those cases, you cannot trade the company shares during certain weeks of each quarter, despite you fully owning those (even if you bought them on your own, before joining the company). Obviously, this only applies if you are still an employee of the company, once you leave you can do whatever you want.
The utility of this viewpoint is that adults should stop victimizing themselves when they lack the absolute basics of being an adult. The very idea of being an adult is that you no longer have somebody to hide behind. You're naked.

And yes, you very much should stockpile food. I have 6 months worth, and adding. I hope you're right and I turn out to the paranoid one, that would be best for the world. But just to give a hint: where I live protesting farmers led to some empty shelves. Nothing existential, but just to share how very quickly such a thing happens and how close it was to a more serious issue.
