> These are just packaging issues, typically (but not only) on Linux. Dedicated developers know what to do to avoid all of that.

Isn't that the point? It's easy for a packager to get into a situation that gives the end user a shitty experience. You shouldn't need to be a "dedicated developer" just to be a user, and making the packaging situation straightforward for the distributor is firmly in framework provider's ballpark. This isn't something Qt should be allowed to shrug off, it's exactly the job they should be doing.

>> Then once you finally get it to work, be prepared to spend time on Stack Overflow researching arcane QT_ environment variables to fix things like display scaling and added additional library paths at runtime.

Just to add my n=1 anecdata here, FreeCAD (a QT app) consistently gets scaling wrong, on all the platforms I regularly use it on (Windows, MacOS, Linux). It's just... not good, to the extent that I actively avoid plugging external monitors in rather than screw with it once I've got a tolerable setup.
How many of these fabulous side-loaded apps will have malware?

Will 3rd party stores prevent crappy apps from being published?

One reason I never bought an Android is because the Play store is rife with junk, spyware, and malware.
They are serving lots of constituents. There's no absolute block across all the people in a state. People have different ideas. I hate all these "spy on you and disable encryption". But it's not like there's a uniform view of how to approach this. Plenty of people respond to "think of the children".
Never choose elastic cloud solution
Worst support system. Always good to have self hosted solution or use aws elastic. There is no meaning to using elastic cloud solution if you don't get the support when you needed the most.

Think twice before choosing elastic cloud
Eight years ago I took a whack at building a fully open source end-to-end encryption system. This is what I came up with at the time:

https://github.com/Spark-Innovations/SC4

It's a bit dated at this point. It doesn't have a ratchet. I did implement one, but never got around to integrating it:

https://github.com/rongarret/ratchet-js

I also had an MVP iOS app which was never launched.

The reason I gave up on the project was that no one seemed to be interested. I spent several years looking for customers and collaborators and basically found nothing. The conclusion I came to is that a lot of people complain about the impending end of E2EE but very few people are actually willing to do anything about it except whine.
Testing code is exactly where I'm doing the print debugging from. I'm sure not doing it on production unless I have no choice!

I don't take a dogmatic view of testing. There is no requirement that test code in X must be run in a test harness in X. There is no problem testing my database procedures with code being driven from my primary app language. What matters is that cases are covered, and that the desired outcomes are verified. My database code is perfectly well covered with testing. If yours isn't, that's a process problem on your end and is your problem, not mine.
That's good feedback. We'll update the pricing page accordingly when the time comes. Question: do you worry about usage based billing with respect to surprise charges? Or do you expect a way to limit this?
sadly my Mercedes CLA has in the engine compartment. Probably it's better to swap it with a fake/damaged one.
With lower level APIs exposed to the browser engine and an accelerated 2D canvas, this isn't all that surprising. At that point JS is just a scripting language akin to Lua. Even still, it's cool to see it being developed and deployed by Nintendo as an actual game.

No. It is not the takeoff as in "raising the wheels from the tarmac" part that is consuming most energy, but reaching the flight altitude. Real case, with smaller plane, I take off in 300 meters in less than 30 seconds at max power, than raise to 3000m in more than 10 minutes of 90% power. That makes the assisted takeoff less than 10% of the energy to get to cruise altitude.

I don't have the numbers for a jet fighter on a carrier, but I think it is in the same range. The takeoff assist is not for saving fuel, but to allow takeoff at the loadout of the plane that would require otherwise a longer runway or lighter loadout (less fuel and weapons).
The C64 tape version of Zaxxon was the "good one", right? I loved that game.

The electrek article is...simply wrong. For example, the Parkers average owner rating for the Model 3 is a dismal 3.5, and the Volvo XC40 is a 4.0. (Eletrek reported a 4.6 for the Model 3 from Parkers and a 3.9 for the Volvo from Parkers.)

Similarly, the other average ratings are all inflated in the Eletrek article compared to what is actually presented on the various review sites (Parkers, Edmunds, etc.).

If anything, the review sites clearly demonstrate that most Tesla owners are highly frustrated with their cars after the first few months of ownership and most regret their purchase.
I think part of the problem is that it's technically correct to say "my product does X" even if it does X extremely poorly. I'm not sure if this can be changed because any line for "does-X vs does-not-adequately-do-X" is going to necessarily be subjective.

So personally I think the problem is that people see "this product does X" and interpret that to mean that it does X well. I don't think it's necessarily bad that we're seeing an explosion of AI tools that are a bit underwhelming if people understood it as such -- we're on, after all, a site with a heavy startup focus and saying "your product doesn't do everything that I want" is a bit antithetical to that.

But yeah specifically for this one there are arguments that "X is not even possible, especially not with this approach" so it's a bit more egregious.
I routinely pose that question to my kids. And yet, they still poop with the door open. And without the ventilation fan. I keep hoping that eventually I will get through to them. Maybe I'll just put a spring-loaded hinge on the bathroom doors and a motion-activated ventilation fan.
I've done this many times, I know for a fact that almost NONE of the prep work, training, file organization, email handoffs, exit/handoff plans, and so on...were ever used except to allow somebody to make excuses on their 'delays' in the first few months after I left.

I've also worked in industries for many years, and was told this line about 'leaving on good terms'. Honestly though, you could just about nearly commit murder - your 'name' and 'reputation' don't matter if there money / a deal to be made. And you'll almost never meet ICs again, so why are you bothering to 'leaving on good terms'. Its a fantasy. Grab names and emails on the way out, though, might be handy.

And, sometimes, you should just go. Seriously. If you didn't care so much trying to make it all happen and work and 'meet timelines', all that would happen is something would fall behind and the management would finally do their job and give relief to the team you think you're helping by doing so much work to 'offramp' - and perhaps get the people they refused before because you were handling it. Seriously, just dropping your shit where you stand and walking out into the sun one fine day may be the greatest gift you give that 'team' of yours.

That's only an issue if the interference is correlated.
Yea and as a Muslim - I view it more as practicing discipline rather than suppressing desires. Like one the other posts said, you can't be blamed or sinned for having desires or whatever thoughts you have in your head. If we were, then basically no one is getting into heaven. And for some desires, Islam offers ways to fulfill them in a way that it views as permissiable. Whether or not you buy that ultimately comes down to faith but that's a separate topic.

Notice how imams are not celibate like Catholic priests. In fact celibacy isn't even a thing in Islam. You're actively encouraged to get into a relationship and get married so you can fulfill your sexual desires. There's even a prophetic quote that says getting married is half of your religion. It's that important. Of course some things like drinking is not allowed even if you desire it and that's just something you have to deal with. But even if you cave it's not the end of the world because the grading system is heavily curved in your favor.

Having desires is natural and human and it's even ok to indulge in them every once in a while in a healthy way.

The Islamic term for this is nafs which means "self" or sometimes "ego". So fulfilling human desires is filling your nafs. But just like overfilling your stomach can be bad, overfilling your nafs is also bad so you need to practice discipline in not getting carried away.
The summary of his world building wasn't super huge, so it was just large enough to fit the ~8000 token limit for the GPT-4 model on OpenAI after I trimmed it a bit. I, too, would like to know how to properly get around these technical limitations.

> "replacing wheels on a running train"

Yeah - just finished migrating a system of 100+ Linux processes all inter-communicating via CORBA to use RabbitMQ instead. Production system with 24x7 uptime and migration spread over more than a year with ongoing functional releases at the same time. I prefer to call it changing the wheels on a moving car.

No doubt it's worse at Google, but these type of infrastructure projects are going on everywhere, and nobody is getting medals.

Tried it and love it. This is still not at par with ChatGPT 3.5. I use ChatGPT all the time, and will increase use of Bard from now.

Good that Bard is aware of latest version of software (eg. NextJS). Helps when APIs of a software evolves quickly.

I use a lot of Google products and really hope that they manage to nail it as at least #2 player in the space. As a company, they have not proven to come back and take the lead from behind.

Each of us builds capabilities used for both good and evil.

The modern extent of government power and private influence would be unthinkable even decades ago. Personal rights have failed to keep up, in part because it requires constitutional or legislative action that's basically impossible because of politics or jurisdiction (international).

As a practical result, we can't really absolve ourselves of responsibility by saying that it's legal, or that it's for another country to decide, or that it's necessary to gain access to a market.

No one doubts that IBM/ACM was morally culpable for providing systems they knew would be used for "organizing" undesirables by the Nazi's. It's much less clear whether doing devops at twitter helps or hurts Modi, or if that's a bad thing.

But it helps to have some smell tests. Mine are:

- Everyone worldwide should be treated with the same respect - American or not.

- It's better for speech and commerce to be free, when it's aiming for true understanding and mutual benefit.

- Every technology should be openly assessed for who it benefits or harms, who decides its use, whether it can be safely managed, and whether it corrupts or improves those it affects.

Analytically, the notion of commercial franchise is quite helpful: twitter has the franchise for a current event stream, Modi has a franchise over legislation in India, etc. All tech companies build their own franchise (with moats, etc.), and may coordinate in mutually-reinforcing teams. Franchises are not only bargaining power but also a whole ecosystem self-organizes around them. The stronger and more relevant the franchise, the bigger the payday, and the more enticing it is to take over. That creates very strong incentives to hold your nose (and be used as a tool), or to steer well clear (and be, well, irrelevant).

I salute those who struggle with these difficult questions.

The “end” in end-to-end encryption for regular users is never a server.

Servers are online 24/7 listening and can be found and raided and/or hacked by various forces.

Clients are harder to locate. Especially if all you need to authenticate is a public/private keypair you generated.

That is why governments are so frustrated with crypto.
The 260 characters limit has been the bane of my existence. Even though it can be disabled in the registry there are gazillions software built against old APIs that will still not work. You also get really odd bugs when that plague hits you.

> For reference I work at a company that requires leetcode medium/hard perfection and am appalled at the money we pay for the engineers relative to the value they bring

Have you tried not paying that much and checking how much value you'll get in return?

Anyone who can write code can learn to leetcode (artificial time-pressuee aside). There's nothing that sets aside leetcoders from the rest of the engineering talent pool except that they put in the time (or have a competitive programming hobby). I haven't seen any evidence that leetcoders are worse in executing, compared to those that will not (or can not) put in the time.

Are companies laying off people people's they could not execute at the expected level? Or is it because of leadership strategic errors (over hiring)? Even if your assertion that engineers are overpaid is true - that is a failure of leadership. However, I don't see heads rolling in the C-suites, it's the fault of "macro-economic headwinds" they failed to see coming.

It's a mistake to just protest these proposals. Counter-proposals that push the balance in opposite direction should be made and pushed through, including some that cut down on existing legislation. A lot of good arguments can be made to support them.

Nicotine Vapes - Look at the effective dosage of JUULs capsules for example [0]. This combined with the ease of use, the removal of the (unpleasant) smoke, increased social acceptance (often indoors too) and a huge advertising campaign deliberately targeting teens [1] created a lot of new smokers/nicotine addicts (and converted some) that smoke more often and at much higher dosages.

[0] https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2020/01/416371/juul-delivers-subst...

The research found that blood nicotine concentrations in the JUUL group (136.4 ng/ml) was eight times higher than e-cigs group (17.1 ng/ml) and 5.2 times higher than cigarettes (26.1 ng/ml).

If you are looking for a "retroremake" of the C64 that's actually an ARM chip running inside a functional C64 breadbin case, with working keyboard, I recommend TheC64 [1] (full size version, not the Mini which is just a game console).

You can program in basic and assembly language with it, plus it has HDMI output so no additional cables or adapters required to connect it to an LCD.

Internally it's running a modified version of VICE.

Yes. As I said, people coming for, not coming to.

To come for something is an expression meaning you're going to take it away from wherever or whomever has it.

In this case, to take libraries away from regular & good citizens who've been using these treasured 3rd spaces for decades. And the librarians who've done so much to care for these treasures.
> Isn’t using James Gosling example as a question a fallacy in argument (i.e., loaded question)?

No, it's a clear way to refute the absurd argument that a company struggling or even failing automatically means all their engineers are incompetent morons.

It's pathetic how there are people in this thread throwing blanket accusations of incompetence at engineers being laid off, primarily because they were far better paid and had far better jobs than them. It reeks of envy, and complete lack of empathy.
I've said your description sounds "exactly as repressive and hateful" as another major religion and the laws of many western states until relatively recently. You're insinuating that Islam is being targeted or singled out whereas I will blanket label as homophobic any regime which masquerades as being even-handed because they generously permit queer people to pretend to be straight, so can you stop with the victim complex please?

Liberal humanism is against what it sees as destructive and oppressive behavior, without prejudicing or singling out any specific group. Look at the higher purpose here.
This moment is really interesting because it reveals how much claims about AI are fundamentally bottlenecked by neuroscience. There's a lot of conjecture right now about which analogies between biological intelligence and AI hold, which don't, and what tests might prove or disprove true intelligence.

Most of these arguments tend to find their dead end at the level of, "Well, we don't really know enough about the human brain to say whether that's true."
I suspect that's because the Democrats, in recent times, haven't pursued "party purity" to the same extent as the Republicans. It's a more fractured electorate without the few "big ticket" issues that the GOP weaponizes (guns, god, and gays).

But, when you look at Feinstein's accomplishments, she has represent her constituents as well as anybody... She authored the Respect for Marriage Act (undoing the conservative Defense of Marriage Act). She's pursued fair pay for federal wild land firefighters. She's protected millions of acres of federal land in CA for recreation. The list is extensive, as it should be for somebody of her tenure.

And with all that said, I do feel it's time for her to retire. I'm unconvinced on term limits, but I do dislike the tendency of long-time politicians to hang on well past their prime (and this applies equally on all sides of the aisle, and also to the courts).
Taxes in larger cities tend to be higher as well. With the exception of Seattle, Miami, and any of the large Texas cities. The removal of the SALT deduction amplified the issue no doubt.
When you say 'we have'; you mean access to scrape, right? Or have they already been put in a file format?
My experience is that two weeks is probably about right most of the time--especially for ICs. The company expects it as the norm. And it's either enough time to do a reasonable handoff or no sensible length of time is going to be enough. (And I'll always answer the odd "help!" question for the coming month or two.) Go much beyond that and you're in this odd extended winding down situation where you can't really take anything new on and you're increasingly checked out. And, in a physical office environment, you're probably also increasingly just a distraction.
Between Feinstein, Biden, and Fetterman it's starting to look like an annual cognitive test may need to become a qualification for Federal government office. The two party system and the rigging of primaries leaves us with electing braindead meat puppets as the lesser of two evils. What a sad state of affairs.

This. It is incredibly easy to underestimate the functionality in a fully-fledged widget set, especially once you factor in accessibility integrations. UI development is 10% shiny, 90% edge-case.

In the long term, I expect WASM to start blowing away layers of the browser, precisely because of this problem. It may be another 20 years, but it's going to happen.

To put it another way, no, you're not wrong, and yes, the resistance to large-scale changes to the web stack is huge, arguably the largest resistance of all time. Nevertheless, the amount of metaphorical amperage flowing through is even larger and is large enough that it is already "short circuiting" and blasting a new circuit through. It's going to take a while, and the backwards compatibility will be with us for a while, but we're already seeing flashes of websites where you don't need to know the old CSS and HTML and such because they're actually WebGL and WASM. As more capabilities are exposed to WASM and they become more efficient, more and more stuff will be moved into it.

That will cause its own explosion problem, but it'll be handled. It's not like every website is going to write its own bespoke text renderer every single time. And in the end there are some technologies that will fade out and become legacy, then irrelevant. I may yet outlive the HTML/CSS/JS stack.
