Strongly recommend wxWidgets. It can be slightly rough around the edges for some advanced functionality, however:

- It wraps native components (GTK on Linux), meaning your application remains performant.

- It has very friendly licensing (LGPL and/or a wxWidgets-specific variation, both with an exception for static linking), giving it a large advantage over, e.g., Qt.

- In addition to GUI components, it has cross-platform integration functionality, e.g., you can query the OS MIME/file type manager to get the appropriate command for opening a file in the default handler.
This might be overkill, while failing to take advantage of (very) prior art. FWIW, Finland's biggest (AFAIK) tangle with COCOM export controls (against the USSR) was about deep-diving submersibles.

Ford will track your entire drive, how you used your car, even the radio station that was playing. All of this data is uploaded when you take your car in for servicing if you do not have a connected car.

OnStar recently (2-3 years ago now?) started feeding 100gbps of telematics data on every single GM car back to GM in an effort to determine better pricing on used cars. Data includes every sensor change on the car and even details from the onboard wireless entertainment system (your wifi device)

These are projects I have worked on. They have an overabundance of data on you and 99% of you fit the model of usefulness

No. It fails and then returns 0 = success. It's a design choice. [1] [2]

I think that strengthens my argument that everything should be baked in to the dev container.

That makes sense. An SaaS-type offering is fundamentally different from selling a product. SaaS companies are incentivized to engage in manipulation of their customers. For them, the UI is more a sales tool than a user interface.

This is a pretty good summary of how I feel and why I dig my heels in every time my wife starts talking about a new camper, a boat or whatever. I suspect she envisions it like a magazine cover: better, carefree versions of ourselves enjoying the sunshine with friends (who are ideally green with envy).

I see myself disassembling the toilet.
it is really incredible,

how could lack of demand be made to happen?

but I'm not trying to imply anything. I merely wonder if such a thing (to create or destroy demand of something) is possible; and if it were, how would you do it?

surely it involves marketing? but I also want to reflect on the market cap of convenience...
There are $5T of foreign exchange transactions per day.

Btc is already getting traction in the developing world as a reliable currency and that is likely to grow under de-dollarization.

The entire crypto market is about $1T right now of which btc is about half.

There is so much space for Btc to grow as an option for international settlement, it's already working and trusted as much or more than many sovereign currencies. As it becomes more trusted it will increase in price which will decrease its volatility.

If Btc just takes a little slice of the FX market it's an easy 5-10x. I wouldn't bet everything on it, but it does seem rational to have a corner of your portfolio in it.

The Feds and the bankers hate it because it's a direct threat to their business model. There's no room for a middle man to fugazi in btc.
Ask HN: What should I spend my money on after a decade of frugality?
For the first decade or so of my working life I scrimped and saved. Over the the last few years, my salary has increased around five-fold. (Whilst I certainly don't have millions in the bank, I am apparently now in the top 98th percentile in my country by taxable income).
Recently I bought a robot vacuum in a sale, something I would previously have dismissed as an expensive toy. I was pleasantly surprised how much value I got from it. Really I should have got one sooner.
It makes me wonder what else might I be missing out on due to hang-ups about spending that are no longer appropriate to my situation?
I've thought a reasonable amount about pensions, savings, giving, property, etc, so I'm not really talking about that sort of thing. I'm more interested in (relatively) small purchases I might have overlooked due to a decade of frugality.
No, I mean podcasts that are essentially a small group of friends shooting the breeze or talking about a specific topic. It lets you feel as if you're a member of an intimate social group but you have neither any responsibility for participation or ability to fuck it up and make people dislike you.
That's true.

Cash has been used for facilitating crime since currency was invented and it will always be far easier to commit crimes with cash than with anything else and that will never change until humans find a better way to fund crime.

Bitcoin may be an attempt to make funding crime easier but it hasn't been very successful. USD is still king for funding any criminal endeavors.
Still, exchanges exist because there is a large demand of customers converting between fiat and crypto, also probably reduce transcation fee and time to be low enough to allow trading derivative products. Not perfect but probably a necessary evil.

Yeah that’s pretty strict. It seems at least remotely plausible now. But still, I doubt the content of the QR code data is encrypted (probably cryptographically signed) especially given the vote is already written in plain text.

The MTR in HK heading to Lo Wu / Lok Ma Chau has a first class section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Rail_line

It doesn't increase public transportation use.

People in North America don't take public transit because:
- it doesn't take them to where they need to go;
- it doesn't take them to their destination timely relative to a car; and/or
- it doesn't have frequent enough service to not get bored to death, baked into heat stroke, or frozen to death in -30C weather, on a Saturday early evening

"Business class" is just a lip stick on a pig.
I don't think people insist on it, it's just very technically challenging to drive any larger vehicle precisely. A Semi, a dump-truck, probably anything with air brakes, these have more stringent licenses and testing. You have to learn to drive them. You can go out today and buy a 3500 diesel truck that can tow 30,000 lbs, weighs close to 10,000 lbs on its own, a crew cab with a long bed coupled to a massive RV that is 45 feet long with triple axles, and the only thing you need to drive that is to have passed a driving test when you were 16 in your mom's Honda Civic.

Many RVs are 8.5 feet wide. Common highway lanes are 10 feet wide. There are curvy highways like route 1 that I swear are only 9' wide. I worry more about line selection and holding my rig inside the yellows than I worry about line selection when I'm racing my motorcycle. It's challenging for me and I drive things as a sport. I'm not covering for someone who went over the yellows, that's unforgivable, but I wanted to add some context for you.

It's possible that more people are aware of Bitcoin than 18 months ago, but I doubt many think it's more resilient.

Since Bitcoin depends on a functioning network it seems more likely than something physical like Beanie Babies or baseball cards to one day become effectively worthless.

I don’t think this is (was) a money maker at all. There’s a clip on YouTube where they invited a CBS journalist to join. The CEO, to me, seems like a passionate dreamer who definitely 100% ate his own dog food (ie took huge personal risk). He was onboard this likely final voyage. They didn’t make any profit, at least back then. It’s obviously incredibly expensive and near-impossible to scale such an operation.

Look, I despise VCs as much as the next guy, but this doesn’t smell like a typical cynical VC money grab, like at all. To me it smells like an ultra-extreme sport. To ordinary people, it’s extraordinarily stupid, they’re certainly in over their heads, but nobody casually signs up to go to 4000m depth without being well aware of the risks.
The article says they were going for 4000m, but it was only rated for 1300m.

That would imply a collapsing somewhere between the two.

Also, would the body, being mostly made of water itself, really get crushed instantly? I would certainly expect the pressure to squeeze all the air out of your lungs.

On what basis do you think 25-30 years old is a more capable fighting demographic? Are you basing this assertion on literally anything? Have you looked up any information about demographics and fighting effectiveness before sharing your opinion? Do you have literally anything other than the small window on the world of your immediate general area and personal life experience / gut feeling?

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say by sheer coincidence you're in that 25-30 year old male demographic, and in about 5 years you'll be of the opinion that actually its 30-35 year olds who are clearly the strongest, toughest, most mature and capable fighting force and all them 25-30s are a bunch of idiots that don't value life and think with their dick.

>"kids those days" using MySpace/FB/Instagram 10-15 years ago?

knowledge. Kids in the myspace days were relatively safe. The dark patterns of Facebook weren't public until well after it became the social media website.

If reddit/discord kids choose not to heed this knowledge, this is on them. They should be better at googling and consuming news than the Myspace kids were. I'll hold them to a higher standard.

>or "kids those days" using AOL 25-30 years ago?

in the early AOL days there wasn't even an easy way to receive online transactions. People who had AoL had it delievered to them on a disc, bought or given to them physically. There could be viruses, and the 90's internet was truly the wild west, but this was well before the mantra of "the Internet never forgets" was really something to worry about.

>it's been moving from one walled garden to another for basically 20 years now.

I don't have issues with the concept of a walled garden. But I'm not a fan of putting all my eggs into one basket. Even if we have a truly benevolent ruler, they may one day pass away and transfer power to a tyrant. Always have a backup plan.

That's my issue, it seems the internet is closing off more and more and converging into a few critical points of operations. Seemingly forgetting the idea that every empire falls. I don't care if Reddit devolves into a glorified eternal commercial, I care that no one is prepared to properly move to something else, anything else.
There isn't a global standard anyway, CCS1 (North America) and CCS2 (Europe) are physically incompatible.

You have to drink soup or eat steak to avoid having any diffusion/leaching from introducing a less concentrated solution (water) to a more concentrated one (your body). If there is any validity to this idea, any way it might be true under special-enough conditions, this article does not provide anything that shows it.

Semi-related question: this page is full of little charts and diagrams. There are thousands of similar projects/sites/experiment sites with their own charts and diagrams. But it seems like there are always subtle-to-large differences in them that indicate they're made with totally different libraries.

The concept of "cutting corners" is difficult to define.

Good engineering is not about pouring as much concrete as possible into the largest hole ever made by mankind, for every bridge pillar.

It's the opposite! Good engineering is finding the minimum amount of concrete that will hold the bridge under all possible foreseeable circumstances.

Yes, sometimes the minimum proves too short, and in those times the failures are often catastrophic. But we're still looking for that minimum. We're never looking for "maximum safety with no regard for anything else". That would be impossible.
Its a matter of setting the expectation of involvement.

This isn't two people working on it on the weekend as a hobby project that got too much attention during an unforeseen event.

Rather, it is two people who worked on it as a full time job (no other sources of income) from grants for three years (with funding running out this year).

For a rough estimate, one would expect about 10,000 hours have been put into the project (2 people, 2000 hours a year, 2.5 years).

It is less of a hobby project than Minecraft was in 2012.

Yep, same situation. Looked into render. I liked what I saw (and spun up a trial). But it was going to be expensive for a bunch of low usage projects.

I ultimately went with a large-ish droplet from DO with dokku installed. It’s been great, for the many small sites use case. It doesn’t scale, but that’s fine. When projects get traction the intention is to move them.

Which one has, and is now on AWS. But if we’d been on render I wouldn’t have moved it. I’d just spin up its own db and scale up the processes.
It's precisely the costs of moving those food supply chains that is at hand here. Our entire system of private landownership and water rights assigns value to a plot and enables investment. To minimize or dismiss these as irrelevant undermines the foundations those industries are built upon.

I'm not convinced the danger of driving is a factor in these numbers. The language around the numbers is saying stuff like "inside warehouses".
